JACKIE COOPER VICTOR MtlAGLEN
 IN LOCAL DRAMA
The Big Guy" Ends This Evening at Capitol
 Theatre

Scoring impressively in a story which combines dramatic fierce With rapid acticn and emotional suspense, Victor McLaglen and Jackie Cooper co-star in Univer- sal's The Big Guy ending to- night at the Capitol Theatre.
 Rarely have these two versatile performers been provided with roles more humanly real, nor more per- fectly suited to their talents. They divide honors about evenly. Me Laglen. as the prison warden, is torn between the desire to keep a fortune in stolen money, or reveal evidence which would save the life of an innocent youth, Cooper. It is ren1n6cent of "The Informer." Cooper, too, displays naturalness and sincerity which is sure to add to Jackie's prestige as an actor. Seen as the young mechanic inno- gently involved in jail break and murder which land him behind prison bars, Jackie plays his role to the hit.
 The Big Guy is an intimate and human story which gains strcngth and power through the direct simplicity Of it's telling Di- rector Arthur Lubin has done an excellent job in guiding each scene to capture the utmost in suspense and dramatic impact
 HighlightS include scenes in which Cooper accuses the war den, McLaglen, of letting him die to protect McLaglen's stolen for tune; in the jail break sequence as convicts take the warden along as hostage; at the court trial, and in the climax when McLaglen, nor tally wounded, kills a dangerous gunman with his bare hands.

BROOKLYN, N. Y, Oct. with
two successive victories after one
touchdown defeat in the opening
game under their belts. the Brook
lyn Dodgers were in the thick of
the running for the Eastern division
title of the National Football League
today.
A BOLT conquest of the luckless
Philadelphia Eagles here last night
in their first home game before
upward of $4,000 enthusiastic fans,
left Jock Sutherland's new team
just half a game behind the pace
setting Washington Redskins, their
lone coAquerors. 1t was the fourth
consecutive defeat for Davey O'Brien
g. Co, who previously had lost
to the Bears, Packers and Giants.
The Dodgers packed all of their
scoring into the second and fourth
periods. supplementing two touch
downs in each with a 38-yard field
goal by Ralph Kercheval in the Sec
ond. A 45-yard 3-pointer by Johnny
Cole had sent the Eagles off to a
good start in the first quarter. but
the Dodgers left the field with a
17-3 lead at half time.
Sustained drives of 81 and SIS yards
eliminated in touchdown passes for
the first two scores by Marty
Schwartz and Jocher. O'Brien, bot
tied up completely in the first half,
sent a 19-yard aerial to Elmer Hack
ney for the Eagles first touchdown
in the third quarter and scored his
teams other 6-pointer on 10-yard

attempt from the 25-yard stripe in
the final period, booted both extra
points with perfect kicks.
BY holding Temple scoreless
Georgetown preserved a record of
never having a touchdown scored
on it in Philadelphia. In 1887 1t
played Penn to a scoreless tie and
in three games with Temple the
sum total of the Owls offensive
is 2 points.
Give Mike Kopcik an assist on
that score because his brilliant
punting shooed Temple away from
Georgetown territory twice when
1t was flirting with csores. One
kick early in the first period
travelled 64 yards and was downed
by Lilo on Temples 6-yard mark.
The second was 64 yards and was
downed by the same Lilo on the

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 5.-Ho,
hum, chalk up another one for the
Georgetown boys, Oscar. and while
you're aboat it, drop note to Bos-
ton College that the Hoyas will be
up that way next month spelling
for fight and making inquiries
into the Eagles national champion
ship claims.
Let's see, last nights 14-0 victory
over Temple was Georgetown's sew
enteenth game without defeat. and
the funny part of it is, everybody
thought the Owls might forget who
their guests were and knock 'em off
their lofty perch. But it wasn't
even close. After a few minutes of
sparring around while Jack Hager-
tvs crew felt out Temples line, and
vice versa, it was evident that
Georgetown would begin to roll,
and heaven help whatever got in
its way.
Temple was all its press agent
claimed for it-big, fast and clever.
1t tossed the apple around like the
Detroit infield; its Eddie Bilikie-
wicz, the highly touted Andy Tom
asic and Al Jeralewicz moved with
alacrity, but Temple, alas, couldn't
fool the Hoyas with its dipsy-doo.
Every time it attempted a trick
pass, the big Blue line smothered
it, and early in the game Tomasic
was obliged to come out in the open
with an ordinary forward-passing
attack.
Scouting Stopped Temple.
This Tomasic can heave the cow
hide, too. but Georgetown covered
all potential receivers like the we'll
known tent, and Frank Moister
obligingly dropped hot ingot tossed
at him on the 3-yard line when the
defensive back patrolling that ter
ritory couldn't quite reach him.
This was In the second period, when
Temple drove to Georgetowns 13-
yard line while Hagertys second
stringers were holding down the
fort.
The thing that stopped Temple
last night was book full of notes
compiled by "Mush" Dubofsky and
George Murtagh, Hagerty's assist
ants. who secuted the Owls against
Muhlenberg last week. They were
better than a couple Of fifth COL
umnists getting the enemy plays
and it was Murtagh's advice on how
to combat them which halted the
Owls. Crash the ends. make the
backs get rid of the ball if they
want to pass and smoke them out
in the open if they intend to run.
the end coach advised Hagerty. He
decided it was sound counsel.
But it was the backs who carried
off the major share of laurels last
night Big Jim Castiglia, the full
back who personally piled up so Of
the so yards on the first touchdown
drive. eliminating this effort with
