Michigans Wolverines. the Yam
KEGS of the Western Conference

straight outdoor championship to-
day as Big Bill Watson closed his
collegiate career with his third

In winning its 18th outdoor title,
Michigan scored 6434 points, per-
formance second only to the "A
points scored by Illinois in 1924.
Wisconsin was second with 45 SIP
points and Indiana third with %
2-3 points in program which saw
new meet records established in the
discus, mile relay and pole vault.
To the crowd of 5000 spectators,
routed briefly by a short but heavy
rainstorm which swept the field
after the first event, Watson was the
big gun to watch in Michigans
poWerhouSe array of talent.
In both his sophomore and junior
years the finely proportioned Negro
won the broad jump, shot put and
discus. He won those titles in this
meet, with his discus toss of 160
feet, 1888 inches, made in yester-
days trials, cracking the 23-year-
old record of 155 feet inches made
by Arlie Mucks of Wisconsin.

yeat and Warren Breidenbach raced
to the relay championship in 3
minutes 147 seconds, half second
under the former mark set by Mich
igan in 1885.
The third new mark was contrib
uted by Robert Cassels of Chicago,
who pole vaulted IA feet % inches
to win that crown The old meet
mark was 13 feet 1925 inches, made
by Vern McDermott of Illinois in
1890. Milt PadWay of Wisconsin,
co-Winner of the 1888 vault title, was
second.
Coach Charles Hoyt, who goes to
Yale next year as track coach, saw
his greatest Michigan team score
in every event except the javelin to
win it's sixth outdoor title for him
in 9-year period. In addition to
Watson's winning performances in
the discus, broad jump and shot
put and the Michigan relay team
victory. these Wolverines came
nome first: Elmer Gedeon. who re-
peated as 120-yard high hurdles
champion; Warren Breidenbach,
who won the 440-yard run, and
Ralph Schwarzkopf, 2-mile run win
ner.
Buxton Surprises in Half.
The 1O0-yard dash crown went to
Northwestern's Myron Piker, with
Chicago's defending champion, John
Davenport, finishing fifth.
Harley Howells of Ohio State lost
his 440-yard dash title to Breiden-
bach while Walter Mehl of Wiscon-
sin, the 1888 2-mile titlist, took
100-yard beating from Schwarzkopf,
Mehl barely lasting for second place.
The 220-yard low hurdle title was
won by Roy Cochran of Indiana,
while Roger Poorman, also of In
diana, took honors in the javelin
toss. Mehl carried on for Wiscon-
sin by winning the mile, an event
won last year by the former Badger

A surprise winner was Edward
Buxton of Wisconsin, who took the
half mile title as Purdue's Art Bo-
deau, the favorite, finished fourth.

But 1t Isn't Funny
To Brod Crawford

Broderick Crawford, whose Broad
way friends will always remember
him as the gigantic Lennie in "Of
Mice and Men," would rather that
his New York pals didn't hear about
his prediction for orchids. Craw-
ford, now at work with Gary Cooper
in Samuel Goldwyn's THE Real
Glory" feels that they wouldn't
understand that his love for orchids
is only temporary aberration-the
product of script writer with what
"Brod" thinks is a perverted sense
of humor.
In the film he is a hulking lieu
tenant buddy of Cooper's and as
contrast to his bulk he is required
to collect thousands of dollars worth
Of orchids.
AS matter of fact, the orchids
presented him for this purpose have
a collectors value of $l4,0O0-one
plant in bloom being worth $4,000.
But "Brod" would rather like to
keep this from his friends. He NAV
want to go back to New York next
season.

The newsreel boys, whose best
scripts are written by disaster, broke
out on local screens yesterday with
the dramatic story of the Squalus
tragedy. Paramount's Bob Denton,
dispassionate fellow in his judg-
ment of newsreel merit, turns posi-
lively poetic in his description Of
the films. Shots comparable to
ones Hindenburg disaster with finer
ending, due to Navys excellent
work." he wires.
That is matter of opinion, but
those shown at the Earle, Translux,
Capitol, Palace, ETC., are among the
most dramatic stories which have
crept into the newsreels in months.
Those stories about screen musi-
Gals and dancicals dying like flies
the ones Hollywood columnists write
on dull days-always contain one
report that is disquieting. 1t goes
to the effect that "even Alice Faye
is being converted into a dramatic
actress"
In Rose of Washington Square,"
her latest picture, Miss Faye has
not been converted. What is more,
we hope she will not be. Miss Faye
Is perfect just as she is. No one
can lose battle with an emotional
scene more completely than she.
In the case of most actresses that
would be spectacle from which the
audience considerably should look
away. Not when it is Miss Faye,
however. She gives the impression
that she knows all along that she
is going to lose and that it does not
make much difference to her, either.
It's fun, and Daryl Zanuck should
be warned against spelling Miss
FayeS fun, and ours, by convert
ing her into a dramatic actress.
We like her just as she is, singing
those torch tunes so throatily and
looking so Wistful in those elephant
closeups.
Another unbelievable story from
Hollywood in the days mail says
that Warmers prop department
builds two of everything, one for the
Dead End" kids to steal, the other
to be hidden where it will be avail
able when needed. 1t would be
so much easier to handcuff the kids.
-. Or, better, to put them in Jail.
Where audiences also would be
safe from them. :. Paul MUM in
the role Of little man is incon-
ceivable. But not to Hollywood.
His next role will be that of
the inconsequential, humble little
doctor in I'VE Are Not Alone"
At that, NUM- has practically ex-
hausted all the great man roles.
Local stage shows are going
topical today. The Capitol's
offering is entitled Worlds Fair

is the Earle's theme. ""Elysias s"

These, and an avalanche of other
