On a great canvas Mrs. William
Ellis has painted picture Of mod
ern life in which love and business
mix in equal measure, centering
about the figure Of Owen Wynne, a
research department Of Consoli-
dated Scientific Products, Owens
takes love where he can get 1t,
first from the mystic and ultra
modern daughter of one of the own
ers, then from the warm-hearted
Nicola, wife of a leading member
of the Labor Party. He supposes
that If he Is loyal to science, it is
enough, but circumstances arise
/, to cali his bluff, and the problem is
to see If he has the courage to take
his punishment and carry on. In the
end. Nicola and Owen are Adam
and Eve after the fall; nc longer
simple people fresh from the mind
of their creator, but beings who
have suffered vet who still have q
purpose and beliefs which have not
beem DESTROYED.

WATERVILLE BOY
 SEEKS GRID JOB
Jack Johnson Candidate for Backfield Berth at
 Middlebury College

Middlebury, Vermont, Sept. IA - As the end of the first week of camp approaches, Middlebury's football squad is finishing routine work and will begin to tighten up on It's prac- tice sessions next week in anticipa- ton of the opening game with Will Hams on September 24. Blocking and tackling drills during the past two days have rapidly brought to light sophomore capabilities which are the hope Of the Panther team this year.
 Wednesdays rain storm provided c chance for blackboard drills at both sessions, and 1t is now expect- cd that Coach Ben Beck will soon divide the squad Into teams stress ing the importance of timing and rhythm to the success of any sys- tenn. This should not only improve team work but also reveal the merits of each man as Q team worker. Due to the great loss by graduation the Middlebury mentor must build Q team with spirit and cooperation to compensate for the lack of exper- fence.
 Fourteen sophomores are in camp to replace graduation casualties. Into the backheld which was hit the hardest by the departure of Paul duarnaccia, Wakefield, Mass, John Chalmers, Fitchburg, Mass, "Swede" Liljenstein, New London. Conn, and Bob Boehm of New York City, Coach Beck will probably put two second year men to team tip with John oolembeske, Norwich, Conn. who moves back from center, and John Mahoney North Adams, Mass, sensational sophomore back of last years squad. The most likely candi- dates are Jack Johnson, Waterville, Conn, Bob VanGaasbeck, Chemune, N. Y., and Lee Johnson, Whitehall, N. Y., who will go to work shortly at kicking and passing. Results of this first week of drill also will prob- ably indicate to e great extent who are possibilities for the vacancies in the forward line.

Yeoman pitching by Joe Dombrow- ski and some fine infielding by Mishka was not enough to pull the Tribes through though 1t took great hit to beat them in the first extra inning while the Tribes in their half of the tenth might have won the game on long drive by Joe Marc which was caught just short of the center field screen and Shaw who had streaked for third base was doubled of second to end the ball game and give Washington a hard won game while 1t sends Water- bury's entry home after three games.

RENZO, BAGLEY WITH P PANTHERS
 IN NIGHT CAME.
Former Local Gridmen in Danbury Friday With
 Paterson Team

Danbury, Sept. IA When the Danbury Trojans and the Paterson Partners collide at Lee Stadium under the floodlights Friday night, Hat City fans plan to turn out enmass to give the high flying Thompsonmen an "old home week" welcome. The Trojans, sitting pretty after two upset victories in a row, over the Brooklyn Dodgers at 13-0, and the Partners, 80, will meet the Paterson eleven again, this time on their home gridiron.
 Sundays battle, the first time Danbury ever licked the Partners, was a roughouse affair in which the players swung from their heels. Fri- days meeting is likely to provide similar fireworks, for there is little good feeling between these rivals in the American Pro league champion ship race.
 Hail Negri As Hero
 Warren (Red) Negri, hero of the Trojan victory over the Jerseymen, will be presented with a fitting present by Danbury fans at Fridays game. Negri recovered tumble deep in Paterson territory late in the game and then booted a place. ment over the crossbar for the lone score of the bitter contest. In addi- ton, Negri kayoed "Knuckles" Boyle Panther guard and strongarm ex- pert, with one punch during one of the frequent fistic clashes that interrupted play from time to time. His valiant deeds have won him the undying gratitude of Danbury's football-mad public.
 Paterson, after outplaying the T'rojans only to lose the game, will start the speedy Vinny Renzo Fri day night. Renzo, from Temple and a native of Waterbury, will be at quarter; Dick Sandefur of Purdue and Joe Vollmer of Columbia at the halves, with Johnny Biancone of oregon State, at full.
 The new Trojan backs, Walt Gar becki and Ralph O'Dell, will see much service Friday night. Garbecki was obtained from the Providence Steamrollers and O'Dell formerly played at U. s. c. on the west coast.
 Joe Bagley, another Waterbury boy, will be seen at center for the Partners.
