CHICAGO, Nov. 20.-Professional
footballs glamour boys-the Davey
O'Briens, Parker Halls and Sid
Luckmans-are finding fame in the
cash-and-carry game no harder to
achieve than in the college end.
They are stealing the headlines
right and left from the seasoned
veterans of the pro game, and, in
some instances, proving themselves
a big help in championship battles
all along the line.
The college youngsters also are
doing their share toward setting a
new attendance mark. Yesterdays
/ four games drew lis ,422, an average
of more than $4,000 per game.
Parker Hall, pro freshman and
All-America back at Mississippi a
year ago, turned yesterdays game
into one-man show as his Cleve-
land Rams thrashed the Detroit
Lions, IA to 3, dropping the losers
from a tie for first to third place in
the Western Division of the Ma
tlOnal League.
Hall Near Baugh's Record.
Hall accounted for both touch
downs with deft aerial pitching,
tossing 7-yard pass to Johnny
Wilson for one tally and another to
Jim Benton for the second touch
down. Hall connected for 16 passes
IN Is attempts and net total of 149
yards. He now has completed rs
in 155 tries in nine games, five
short of the season record held by
Washington's Sammy Baugh.
But even this dazzling perform
ance was below that of little Davey

lea in 1888, who completed passes

Philadelphia Eagles OBrien con-

own league record of 10 completed
passes for a single game, but the
Eagles lost the game to the Chicago
Bears, q to IA. His passes gained
total of 247 yards and represented
virtually the entire Philly attack.
The Bears also displayed pro
freshmen to good advantage. Coach
George Halas started a complete

at left half, Bob Macleod at right
half and Bill Osmanski at full.

New Test Will Guard

Tenth Of 400 Examined

Violent Exercise ms
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEMPHIS, Tenn, Nov. 20.-Next
seasons football players may be
made to undergo a new type of
examination to determine whether
they will develop athletes heart"
from violent physical exercise.
DR.. Dan G. Stine of the University
Of Missouri, Columbia. Mo, de-
scribed today before a preliminary
session of the Southern Medical As
sociations annual meeting a simple
test which measures the ability of
an individuals heart to compensate
for the severe strain put on it.
About 10 per cent of a group of 400
athletes examined were found to
have developed chronic enlargement
of the heart as shown in the tests,
he declared. All these vigorous
young men showed either specific
damage to the heart or inability of
the heart to return to normal rest
after exercise due to damage to the
vaguS nerve which controls the
heart, lungs, stomach and abdomi-
nal organs. Some also had defects
in the heart valves.

Westerns claim of having al

Stage Set for Encore
Of Harry Thomas Song
BY JOHN LARDNER,
Special CORRESPONDENT of The Star


NEW YORK, Nov. 20 (NAN.A).
Harry Thomas, the singing heavy
weight of Eagle Bend, Mimi, car
ries his private confessional around
the country with him. Having con-
fessed in Chicago and points west,
Mr.. Thomas will install the gadget
in the office of the New York Box
ing Commission on Tuesday OF this
week and confess again.
The two recordings will be COM
pared. If Harry shows improve
ment he may get vocal spot with
Bob Crosby or Artie Shaw, singing
his confession with hot accompani-
ment. The words are the same, but
Mr.. Thomas believes his new record
ing will be freer of schmaltz than
the last one
You've heard Harry's lyric be-
fore. He confesses to having ac-
cepted money from Yussel the
Muscle Jacobs for throwing fights
to two of Yussel's fighters, Max
Schmehng and Tony Galento. He
also lays the finger upon his own
manager, Night-watch Nate Lewis,
as party to the twin deals. He
concludes on blue note, observing
that this is a wicked world and an
honest man amt got a chance.
Evening star., 1939-11-20
YusseI the Muscle Jacobs
Is Very Cautious Man.

Your correspondent believes part
of Harry's song devoutly. The Ga
lento-Thomas fight was pure
fake, at least on Thomas part. The
Schmeling- Thomas fight had SIM
liar earmarks, though the acting
was better.
Some of the boys belittle Harry's
confession on the ground that Ga
lento and Schmeling could both
have licked Mr. Thomas on the
square. That doesn't mean any,
thing. Suppose they could? Mr..
Yussel the Muscle Jacobs is very
cautious man. When you are build
ing up heavyweight menace there
is no percentage in taking chances,
even with a stumblebum of Mr..
Thomas caliber.
However we stray from the point
Mr.. Thomas has promised to sing
as he never sang before at Tues
days meeting of the New York
commission. With Maj. Gen. John
j. Phelan at the drums and Blunt
Bill Brown playing saxophone licks,
this should be one of the hottest
platters of the season.

important holocausts, will supply an

Marriage Not to Be Considered

gled women, with sick and under

just such horrible fate.
Personally, think that woman's

If Mr.. Right comes along, we'll and
good. Ring out the wedding bells.
But If he doesn't come along, also
well and good.
Let her accept the fact, and set
about making life of her own. Get
a job and realize that it is going
to be her life work and put into it
the thought and loyalty that she
would have given to husband and
children, to the end that she may
fit herself to draw down a good
salary. Join clubs. Have many in
terests and many friends and her
own little apartment where she can
do as she pleases.
There is many a consolation prize
for the girl bachelor. And there is
no use In any woman who doesn't
marry bemoaning her fate.
