BLUCH LANDOLF
 JUST vows FEM
Great Pantomimist Top Feature of Coming Grot=
 to Circus

Unlike the nations funniest com- edians who send MT. and Mrs. Amer ica into paroxysms of laughter with witty cracks over the radio and shows, Bluch Landolf, who will be at the Zindah Grotto Charity Cir cus at the State Armory, the week of March 13 to 18, doesn't say a word, but he sends his audiences into paroxysms, too.
 Bluch is a clown and a pantomim- ist. He doesn't have to worry about expensive gag writers or constantly hunt for new lines and jokes. When one radio performance carries 8 joke into a million homes Bluch doesn't worry, because he'd never use the joke in his comedy, anyway
 Bluch's art, the old but ever-new art of pantomime, enables him to exist independently of the times, al- ways adding little bits of business drawing on his rich experience to make old bits fresh and laugh-pro- voking.
 Bluch, who is originally from Ba- yaria, has been featured at the Lon- don Hippodrome, the New York Hippodrome, the Madison Square Garden, Barnum Bailey and Ring ling Bros. Circus and with the Frank Worth Indoor circus throughout this country and abroad.
 Besides clowns regular bag ot tricks, Bluch has a bunch that are his own, including his version of a burlesque wire walking act.
 Bluch works with two other rough and tumble montebanks who garner laughs at the same time. Although Bluch never makes sound, being pantomimist, there is plenty o1 noise during his act. The noise comes from the audience instead oi Bluch and it is known as Laughter

 BANKS ON
 STUDENT SENSE
 Dean Turner pointed out that Champaigns sinspots were more than a mile away from the edge of the campus. Only a street is the dividing line between the two cit- ies.
 During my years here, I'd say that not more than one per cent of our students visited such places as have been exposed. The rank and file of our students certainly do not deserve to be painted the color that has grown out of this investigation.
 'The students themselves have shown enough sense of self-govern- ment to try to check the evil. Some 5000 live in orderly fraternities. From time to time the editors and reporters of the Illini (daily student newspaper) have crusadeo against Champaign vice, even getting pie lures of the places. Complaints brought the usual raids, followed by periods of inaction, but the same old faces have returned. We are hopeful that this inquiry will do more. But mothers and fathers need not worry about their cons and daughters at Illinois. We have normal com munity, decent as a whole"

Louis K. O.'s
Bob Pastor
In Eleventh

Briggs Stadium, Detroit, Sept. Fl.
just about all OF the
fire and fury that has chopped down
his most recent opponents merclless-
ly, but still packing dynamite in his
fists. Joe Louis knocked out Boo
Pastor in II. rounds to retain his
worlds heavyweight championship,
before 10000 fans who contributed
to a gate of 100000.
But he was no longer the brown
bomber, the dusky destroyer who
dynamited Max Schmelling, John
Henry Lewis and Tony Galento so
completely.
He had Pastor down on the floor
four times in the first round from
right hand punches, and again in
the second the former New York
university footballer was on the
verge of annilation. On two other
occasions Bob was badly hurt. Yet
each time the knockout spark was
lacking. Joe was slow to take ad-
vantage of the opportunities and
seemed unable to box with the gal
liant rival who came up off the floor,
defended beautifully, and even came
back to carry the fight to the cham
piOn in the latter heats.
Pastor Tires
Pastor tired, however, and that in
the end cost hi mthe fight just past
the midway mark Of the first sche-
duled 20Eound heavyweight title
fight in a quarted century. Less than
half minute after the 11th got un-
der way, Louis suddenly leaped in
and fired a short right and Pastor
went down.
He rose to his knees at the count
of four, but couldn't go any farther
There he huddled, head hanging and
blood dripping from cut over his
left eye, as Referee Sam Hennessy
counted the full 10 over him, finish
ing at the SO second mark Of the
round to give Louis the eighth sue
cessful defense of his title since he
took it fran old Jim Braddock in
1887.

GAMECOCKS LEAVE
FRIDAY FOR GAME
Rex Enright Sings Blues as
S. c. Heads to Wake For
est for Contest

Columbia, S. c., Sept. 21.-South
Carolina's Gamecocks, 81 strong, will
leave here Friday noon by bus for
Raleigh-and then for what Rex En-
right feels may be gridiron guillo-
timing at Wake Forest Saturday
night.
Head coach Rex Enright, after
watching the moleskin maladies af-
,flict his players, entertains little hope
of stopping Peahead Walkers junior
giants.
Enright's pessimism was further
punctuated this week when his first
string stalwarts failed to stop the "B"
team impersonators of the galloping
Gallovich and the plunging Polanski.
To Enright it all seemed like a
repetition of the opening minutes Of
the 1888 Gamecock-Deacon affray
when Walkers wonder boys made
the Enright Riders wonder where
they were. Usually they were dis
covered and downed too many yards
past the line of scrimage.
While Wake Forest has one game
-Elon-already contested this sea-
son, Enright has only few scrim-
IMAGES by which to evaluate the pig
skin potency of the Gamecocks.
The ooint after touchdown was
practiced this week in the Carolina
camp. Enright had many aspirants
attempting to boot the pigskin be-
tween the uprights. Failure to func-
ton in this phase Of football cost the
Gamecocks last seasons Wake For
