Rain, Cold Forecast
For IntersectionaI
Clash Tomorrow
Heavy Going Would Give
Tribe Line Advantage;
Forkos Stor Mudder
Ry BILL DISMER. Jr.

Uncertain weather and precedent
loom as distant threats to the Red
skins in what otherwise appears an
easy hurdle tomorrow in their Sec
ond intersectional game of the 1889
National Football League season.
The weather mans prediction of
rain and colder" if borne out
might prove the great equalizer for
the third time in five home games OF
the Redskins this year just as it did
in the scoreless tie with the Giants
and the Redskins rs victory over
the Eagles.
Even without the menace of
treacherous weather, the Redskins
cannot afford to let down against the
Chicago Cardinals as National
League records show that complete
upsets are not rare Remember the
Cleveland Rams tripped the Green
Bay Packers at Green Bay last
month. 27-24.
History Warns Redskins.
Three more upsets in the current
campaign would match the number
turned in last year. Not to be for
gotten are Cleveland's three straight
victories over the Detroit Lions and
chicago Bears a year ago, while the
Detroit Lions, needing only to whip
the lowly Philadelphia Eagles in the
seasons final game to tie the Pack
ers for the Western championship,
had their title hopes dashed by the
Eagles by the astonishing score of
21-7.
Although rain tomorrow might re-
suit in the Griffith Stadium battle
being decided on breaks. heavy 60
ing would favor the Indian line
which will outweigh Chicago's more
than 10 pounds man. AS a mat
ter of fact. the Cards starting line
last Sunday against the Giants in
cluded only two men above 200
pounds-tbeir tackles, pound
Tony Blaine and 22O-pound Al
Babartsky. incidentally, Fordham s
famed blocks of granite" will be
represented by two Cardinals to-
morrow, Babartsky and Guard Mike
Kochel.
Cards Backs Heavier.
In the backfields, however. the
situation is reversed, as the Cards
boast five backs of 2O5 pounds or
heavier while the Redskins have
none over 200. The lone encourag-
ing factor to RedSkin Supporters
along this line is that fat-footed
Andy Farkas is a real "mudder''
and has shown that he can run
nearly as hard on a soggy field as
on dry one. But inclement wealth
er distinctly is Instantaneous to
such Indian ightweights as the TO-
pound Dick Todd, the 180-p pound
Jimmy German and the 1921 pound
Sammy Baugh.
If it's raining at game time to-
morrow, look for Baugh to be in the
starting lineup. Coach Ray Fla
herty will start the singer to throw
his copyrighted specialties before
the ball becomes water logged and
while pass-receivers have an equal
chance of remaining upright.
Tomorrow's battle will start at 2
O'Clock, half hour earlier than
prior games here.
! statistics favor the visitors only
in punting, pass defense, least yards
penalized and field goals. Here they

NEW YORK, Nov. Is CNANAl. il.
Who's doing the best coaching
job in America today?" a football
fan wants to know.
Well, there is bound to be a diff
ference of opinion on that point
and a long argument with so many
ramlflCations that I'm going to duck
it. But will say that I don't know
Of coach who isn't doing a good
lob-and in more ways than Just
teaching the boys to play football.
There is an old gag in football
about the coaches building char
aCter The coaches themselves
have helped to perpetuate it. Once
when friend asked Bob Zuppke
what his prospects we're as another
season was about to open, Zup shook
his head sadly and said:
They're not so good. I guess
this year better concentrate on
character building"
But it isn't all gag. I don It
know of finer group in American
sport than the football coaches and
they exert a tremendous influence
on their players. Men like Lou Lit

Day Of Browbeoting
Cooch Is Gone

'T wish I could give you some Of
those letters to print" a friend Of
mis- told me. They would make
great reading. They are letters such
as a father would write to his sons.
The criticisms are thoughtfully ex-
pressed and. when kid is entitled
to praise for the way he played, he
gets it. I know if I was a kid play
ing football and I got one of those
letters every Monday morning, I
would be proud as the dickens and
I'd try to see that the mistakes
pointed out to me wouldn't be re-
peated,"
The day of the old browbeating
coach is gone. There is no room for
him in the modern football scheme
and no reason why there should be.
There may be room for argument
as to whethey the football players of
today are any better than those of
the past-the changes in the game
have made comparisons difficult on
that score-but there is no doubt
that the coaches are better today
than ever before. Theoretically, they
are only paid instructors. Actually
the not only have taught the game,
but have helped to mold it and have
. terrific influence on it. And no.
body can say that their influence
isn't for good.

| With a special premiere at 0:31 this evening Mgr. Ed Fitzpatrick of Loew's Poll Theater will present waterbury with, "Pygmalion," the hit which everyone has so eagerly awaited for the last few weeks, after reading the lavish praise of leading critics who viewed this marvellous picture during its sensational run lat New York's famous Astor Theater where 1t is still playing to capacity |audiences in the third month of its engagement. | With Leslie Howard and the new acting find" Wendy Hitler, offer ing two of the finest acting por- trayals seen on the screen in some |time, "Pygmalion," Animation of the Bernard Shaw hit will provide audiences with entertainment brin- ing with laughter and human inter- est.
 The story of "Pygmalion" re- wolves about Henry Higgins, @ pro- lessor of phonetics, who on bet takes Eliza Doolittle, drab flower seller, out of the London slums and trains her in correct speaking, de- pertinent and social graces with the intention of passing her off as a duchess ct an ambassadorial re- ception. His experiment is Q com- plete success. But now that Eliza is no longer Q flower girl nor really Q duchess, her problems have actually begun and 1t is in the outcome of these that the story reaches sur- prising and unforgettable ending.
 There is movement and suspense from the opening shot to the closing reels of "Pygmalion," with action developing smoothingly and con- vincingly under the brilliant direction of the film. The Shaw aia- logue is not only witty, but natural. and the characters are shrewd and penetrating.
 Tn "Pygmalion" Leslie Howard gives the grandest performance of his long career and e new screen star of rare beauty and distinction has been born in Wendy Hitler, cast as the flower girl. Also outstanding in e superb cast are Wilfrid Lawson and Marie Lohr.
 "Pygmalion" is grand entertain- ment and will make audiences laugh as they have not laughed since the old Charlie Chaplin comedies.
 On the same program is another big hit, "Woman Doctor" an in- triguing story revealing for the first time on the screen, the heart or career woman. Featured in this out standing production are Fricda 1nes- court and Hery Wilcoxon, with Sy- bil Jason and Claire Dodd heading an exceptional supporting cast.
 Attractions concluding their per- formances this afternoon are "Fast and Loose,' and Beauty For The Asking"

 Tomorrow the State again scoops the screen entertainment fed of Waterbury by bringing to its thous- ands of patrons the years show of shows, "Gunga Din"
 This news has been eagerly awaited for by theatergoers of this vicinity for some weeks and Mana ger Julia Smith takes great pride in making the announcement that 1t will be shown at Waterbury's thea- ter of hits, the State.
 "Gunga Din" is the kind of show that comes out of Hollywood only once in Q blue moon, Q breathtak- ing, colorful spectacle, brimful of impetuous action, lavish, eye-fiill- impetuous action, lavish eye-fill- and magnificent settings. Costing two million dollars and requiring all of 1888 to make 1t, this production brings to the screen for the first time e tale that will 20 down in the annals of screen history.
 The Rudyard Kipling classic of the same name forms the basis for the picture and its gripping, dra- matic story is brought to life in graphic fashion by splendid cast starring Cary Grant. Victor Me- Laglen and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., and featuring thousands of others in support of the stars.
 The three stars are cast as q trio of sergeants in the British army. their long years of service together having cemented e deep friendship which holds fast despite their surface quarrels. Sent out with a small party to repair e telegraph line, the trio run afoul of a band of thugs, the famous religious stranelers of India and just man. age to escape, following Q bitter combat across the roofs of a native city.
 A delightful romance between Fairbank and his fiancee Joan Fon- taine, threads through the sterner fabric of the plot. The three stars have perhaps the most colorful roles of their careers. They are brilliantly supported by Miss Fon- taine and e cast that includes Sam Jaffe as Gunga Din, Eduardo Cian- nelli Robert Coote, Montagu Love and Abner Bibberman.
 "Gunga Din" is judged one of the noteworthy motion pictures of all time, and an outstanding cinema entertainment.

 Hollywood, = Priscilla Lane said no, she isn't married.
 She said it with just a touch of wearied impatience, apparently realizing that there isn't much @ picture person can do about per- sistent rumors. Not that she mind- ed my asking; she wished more people would ask so she could make denials.
 Instead, they just go around say ing, and writing in the gossip columns: Priscilla Lane is mar ried to Oren Haglund." Or, "Pris- ella Lane is telling her closest friends that she really Is Mrs, Oren Haglund."
 A former property man and now an assistant director at the War ner studio, Oren Haglund is a brisk and personable gent whom every body seems to regard as a comer. About seven months ago, while Miss Lane still was supposed to be play- ing the feminine lead in Wayne Morris affections, the actor had to be away from Hollywood for a couple of weeks. He was said to have returned to find that she was Mir Haglunds girl. This created 0 good deal of amused comment on the lot because assistant directors are not supposed to go around taking prom inent actresses away from pronu- nent actors.
