lisle squad when Warner took up his coaching assignment there in 1899 Though he was star at track Denny didn't excel at football. But he loved the game so well that he'd hang around the locker rooms, rub the players down, and look after their injuries.
 Stick Together
 That was how 1t started, and he has worked with Pop at Pittsburgh, Georgia, Stanford, Temple and San Jose. At Cornell the coach got along without him.
 When you can overcome the Chiefs natural reticence, he'll take you into the field house and show you the pads and appliances he's concocted to protect various injur- ies. They're secrets between the trainer and Pop, he says. No oth- CT handler knows these exact tricks.
 Like many trainers, Denny works his psychology hard. He constant- ly watches the boys on the field, knows how to handle each one to get the most out of him. Problems that player is backward about laying before the coach are often threshed out with the trainer.
 Football is harder today than it used to be-" Denny says. The old timers like to think their game was tough, but it wasn't as tough as the open game. Tackling is more deadly. You really have to protect a man more.
 T don't see any great difference in the physical setup of boys now and forty years ago but the players today take better care of themselves.
 Proud of Team
 In his first year at San Jose, Denny is serving the highest SCOT ing team in the country and he's proud of it.
 T certainly like to win he says. T used to like to win even if the boys were hurt, but not now, I pro- tect the boys"
 At 60 the Chief is in prime phys ical condition and boasts that he has never smoked, drunk or chewed. But he realizes that he and Coach Warner are getting along in years.
 We've been everywhere else to- gether,p he says When the time comes I guess we'll meet in the Happy Hunting Ground"

From the arms of Joan Crawford in "The Ice Follies" he led Carole Lom- bard to the altar in Made for Each Other" and now he makes a monkey as well as bride of Miss Colbert in this amusing film.
 Teaming. these two stars for the first time in their active screen ca- reers, this picture strikes out into new channels of comedy entertain ment in the unusual unfoldment of It's daffy plot.
 Stewart is an All-American foot ball player cast as a private detec- tive hired to keep an irresponsible oft-married millionaire playboy out of trouble. Miss Colbert is, of all things, a poetess. When the million aire playboy is murdered and Stew art is innocently involved, Miss Col bert joins forces with him in solv- ing the murder.

ROYAL CANADIANS
 LAKE ATTRACTION
Guy Lombardo at Com. bounce Sunday; Jimmy
 Lunceford July l6

One of the country's acc dance attractions, Guy Lombardo and his Royal Canadians, will be the feature presentation in the Lake Compounce ballroom Sunday night. Noted for its sweet and harmonious dance music, the Lombardo orchestra produces a characteristic style of soothing mel. odies that has continued to be tops in popularity irrespective of the current swing craze. Appearing with Guy are his three brothers, Carmen, Lebert and Victor, also the famous Lombardo trio.
 Guy Lombardo works on the the- ory that a purveyor of a tune isn't any better than his material. If the song is inferior or ill-fitted, then the singer or orchestra won't sound it's best The public may not be able to put it's finger on the reason, but they sense an inadequate per- formance. On the other hand, If the song is tops and well-suited, then the performer will be heard at his or peak.
 Guy has introduced more future hits than any other unit. His first requisite for a new song is the mel. ody. It must be of simple pattern not too complicated or involved, be. cause then it's purpose is defeated He eliminates tricky orchestrationi and points towards smoothness anc the melody itself. Instead of obliter. ating the melody with unnecessary sounds and rhythm. Guy trys n keep 1t simple, and to stress 1t, st that 1t stays in the listeners menta car, long after he hears 1t with hi, physical car.
 Lake Compounce features excel. lent fireworks every Saturday nigh and this Sunday afternoon the con. cert will be presented by the Fultor Band of Waterbury. The Hal Mo. Intrye orchestra entertains tn, swing fans each Saturday evening 1T the Compounce music hall.
