MRS. MAX BAMBERGER, OF
UI New York, who needs no
introduction to this column, has
been visiting the past week end
in Washington as the guest OF
Colonel and Mrs. Ed Startling,
and not at all incidentally, de-
lighting everyone lucky enough
to meet her with her charm and
loVeliness. Mrs. Bamberger, who
has often been mistaken, even
by wise New Workers, for Mar
lene Dietrich, is in reality sin1i-
lar to a Reynolds portrait.
Her heart-shaped face is
divinely young, her hair, which
is copper gold, is very straight
and smooth at the top and then
waves into cascade Of loose
curlS about her neck and is held
in place by a wee velvet bow on
the right side. Her eyes, so
amazingly dark, are serene and
sweet, her mouth gentle and
kind, and her voice is eager,
light and fresh. The afternoon
we saw her she was curled COM
fortably in a big green chair,
wore velvet which chung to her
slim figure in a tight bodice
and then rippled away in full
graceful folds over her tiny
black sandals.
EARL MACINTOSH, we'll
~ known realtor, is very
busy person, as everyone knows,
but an associate Of his in Flor
ida is beginning to think that
Earl is entirely too busy. All
because of a long-diStance call
the other evening. The Florida
associate had asked for Earl's
telephone number, saying he
would call him at eight. Earl
gave it to him and then sat,
patiently waiting, for the call,
which didn't come.
Finally along about nine
O'Clock the call came in and a
very irritated gentleman was
on the other end of the line.
When everything was explained
it developed that Earl, doubt
less thinking of other things,
had given the Florida associate
the number of the house at
which he was having dinner the
next night and the Florida as
sociate had spent no end Of
valuable time, calling that num-
Der and insisting that Mr..
Macintosh was there!

MRS. ARTHUR DE TITTA,
N1 who is pretty and blond,
had a very definite idea of what
fame can really be the other eve
ming when Sonia Henie was in
town. 1t seemed that every per-
son who saw Mrs. De Titta in
the Shoreham suspected that
she was Miss Henie'S double, or
Stand-in, and consequently pur-
sued her with just as much de-
termination as possible for au-
tographs.

This Sugar Bowl game will be
something to see. 1t should give one
OF the final answers on the line
play of the Southwest.
No one has ever questioned the
Texas passing game-With Sammy
Baugh. Dave O'Brien, Billy Patter-
son and others. After his 1880 scare,
Knute Rockne told me that he had
his fill of these Texas passers. "You
don't run across them anywhere
else" Knute said, land I can't spend
my early time training for sharp
shooting and snipers."
Bill Kern of Carnegie Tech, one of
the top coaches of the country, says
he will check O'Brien's passes by
rushing the passer. O'Brien is
guarded by human wall, approach
ing 48O pounds of active, protec-
tive flesh. And he passes in a split
second flash.
T. c. U. Rated Above skibos.
don't believe even Bill Kern and
his alert passing defense can break
up the T. c. U. air attack-unless
it happens to be raining. No one
can throw wet, slippery ball with
any accuracy. Rain can make a
blasting difference above the ground.
Beyond this, ! don't believe the
Carnegie Tech line can match or
hold T. c. US forward wall Tie
Tartans from Pittsburgh will be bad
ly outweighed-12 or Is pounds
maybe more-and they will be
matched In speed and aggressive
ness. mean up front Aldrich and
Hale are pretty nearly a line un-
aided.
I disagree with those who say
good Texas lines can't match the
East or the Midwest or the Far
West. Ask Jimmy Crowley of Ford
ham-and Pitt rates Fordham the
best team IL met all year-for Pitt
met Fordham when Pitt was on
edge.
You can write this in your mem
orandum book. Carnegie Tech can't
be just $3.50 and beat T.. c. U. l.
will take the best this football
country has to offer to beat T. c. U.
But the main point is that We will
have much clearer answer as to
how forWard-passing attack mixes
up with strong, aggressive line play.
This game will write one of the
most interesting chapters in modern
football history.

Next Pair Of Brewer
Games May Decide
Fate Of Mentor.

The Heurich Brewers showing in
their next two American League
basket ball games, against the
league-leading Kingston Colonials
here on Sunday and the Brooklyn
Visitations the following day, may
decide Joe Dreifus' future as their
coach.
Declaring that Dreifus, who took
charge Of his team last Monday, was
only on probation, Owner Chris
Heurlch, jr., today said that Dreifus
would be given a permanent con-
tract If his two weeks work was
deemed satisfactory after Monday
afternoons game.
The trial period will have covered
four games, two of which have been
played. Under Dreifus the Brewers
whipped Wilkes-B Barre last Mon
day, but lost to the Troy Hay
makers at Troy last night. 1t will
be a large order for the Brewers in
their next two games as Kingston
currently is leading the league and
brooklyn Is not lar from the top.
Despite Micky Schonfeld's l3
points, the Brewers were beaten

the Washington pros bottled up
Kellett and Dubilier, Troys scoring
aces. the New Workers produced an
other pair Of hot hands in Pergel
and Husta, the latter making good
on eight free throws.
An early lead assured victory for
the Haymakers, who got off to a
10-5 lead in the first period and
upped the score to 23-l5 at the
end Of the second. Each team COL
lected II points in the final stanza

other undoglike fare on Christ
mas Day and too much mauling
and hauling on every day since
Christmas.
In that case, either pa or ma has
decided that it was all mistake,
what to do, what to do? Perhaps
he made a perfectly, gosh awful
spot on the living room rug, per-
haps he has refused to drink his
nice, warm milk; perhaps he has
cried in loneliness and fear at night.
Treat Him Like a Baby.
The answer to what to do in any
of these contingencies is the same,
possess your soul in patience, re-
member he is baby away from
home and mother for the first time
and treat him like baby.
If human baby has an up
set tummy or refuses to eat,
either a doctor or baby book
is consulted and the advice is
followed religiOusly. There
are canine equivalents of both
the doctor and the baby book.
If baby makes an awful spot on
the best rug, he is not beloved at,
slapped, or frightened with terrify-
ing, noisemaking newspapers. The
spot is wiped up and the mother de-
termines to be more vigilant next
time If baby cries at night he is
made dry and warm, given a bottle,
perhaps, and then ignored. 1t is
surprising how we'll the same treat
ment works with puppy.
