INDUSTRIAL AND MERCANTIL PIN
 GAMES TONIGHT
Chase Chemical Mix; Ver- rickers vs. Metros; Zaza,
 Dente I28.S

Standout matches appear on both schedules of Industrial and Mercan. tile bowling leagues for tonight, Chase Metal, tied for the lead with American Brass in the Dusty Loop has a real test ahead with the Nau. gatuck Chemical combine which it meets tonight in the usual three games at the Mattatuck alleys.
 Promising.
 In the Mercantile, Vdrriker Paint CTS, leading the league by two games takes on the runner-up Metro team. There are but live games difference between top and bottom teams in the league. Other matches sched- uled include: Brookside Dairy vs. Fulton Markets; Mohican Markets vs. Brock-Hall; Matzlxin Furniture and Speedy Parcel. The Verriker team has won 18 and lost 12 of 30 games bowled in ten weeks.
 In the Dusty league last week, Blake and Johnson was the whole works" with a 686 single game and 1922 total just i've pins short of the record held by American Brass this season. Lux winning 2 of from Manufacturing last week was a surprise though the Clockers have been able to score several surprises this season though it has lost 20 of 8 games. Eric Larson's return to the Manufacturing team will aid it no little, just when 1t needs help in its drive from third place toward the top.
 All Even.
 Individually, and oddly enough. Sammy zaza and Bill Dente, both of the American Brass team, are exactly tied in the race for high average, with 1888 apiece in 8 games. Joe Lovallo of the Chase team, Benny Stokes and Palmer Brick are next in line with 123.32; 12228 and 122.20.

SHAUCHNESSY IS SUCCESSFUL BY MUCH HARD WORK
Press Agent Gives Out Inside" or Coach and
 Star, Frank Albert
By JOE WILLIAMS

New York. Nov. 26-As soon as we had posted the letter we realized it yraS a mistake. You just don't write to the college press agent to learn what he thinks of his team, his coach, his players. From left to right, they're all going to be terrific.
 It may be that we subconsciously imagined Don Liebendorfer of Stanford would be mild exception. Stanford is the headline football team of the season. It hase come up from nowhere to take charge of the Pacific coast conference and the Rose Bowl.
 There were certain circumstances which made this reslrgence sharply engaging, the foremost of which was the new coach, Clark ShaughnesSy, a fugitive from Chicago's touch football def1ation.
 At Chicago last season Shaugh- messy couldn't buy himself a first down. It was a moral vcitory when his guys held the other guys down to 50 points. They lost to Harvard 61-0, Michigan $50 and Ohio State 6l-0. They played their most sen sational game of the year against Illinois. They lost by only 46 points
 That gives you a faint idea doesn't it? So between seasons MT Shaughnessy switched to palo alto where Herbert Hoover used to man. age football and then things began to happen. Specifically Stanford began to win and win and win.
 We wanted to know how come and so we made the mistake of writing to MT. Liebendorfer. It appears that it's all very simple. Shaunghnessy just happens to be the greatest coach in history, and all the Stan- ford players are all-time All-Am- ericas.
 Well, it isn't exactly that bad or rather that good, but there iE no mistaking MT. Liebendorfer's misty glow about the Stanford situation. Still, there are times when he becomes reasonably rat ional.
 Like this: Some people out here are saying Shaughnessy is a miracle man. Houdni, an out-and-out magician. That isn't so. His success lies in good old-fashioned hard work, plus intelligence. He puts ir from sixteen to eighteen hours day and his assistants, Marchie Schwartz Phil Bengston and Jim Lawson, put in at least twelve" (Ed. Note: How about them wage and hours laws?)
 Early Bird
 By way of strengthening thiS point MT. Liebendorfer adds: "Shaughnessy often gets up at 4:0C o'clock in the morning to work or his football problems and sometimes even earlier. It is nothing unusual for him to have his whole staff to- gether for breakfast at 6:30 in the morning"
 Somehow we like to think that Mir. Hoover, Stanford's most illus. trious alumnus, would be pleased at this. MT. Hoover has alway: preached the doctrine of individua enterprise, initiative and rugged. ness. We don't know ShanghnesSy and his assistants very well. I could be of course, that there ism anything else to do in Palo Alto especially at 4 o'clock in the morn. ing.
 We don't want MT. Liebendorfel to get the notion We are treating his thoughts lightly On the contrary we find many of them impressiv, and enlghtening. We can well be. lieve this is well disciplined tean (which has not always been tru' of past Stanford teams); also tha shaughnessy has way with younl

 Goalie Earl Robertson of the Am ericans pulled up with badly bruised shoulder when Neil Colville and Pat Egan upset him.
 Two stitches weretaken over the right eye of Tommy Anderson, the Americans and two were required to mend a wound on the right ankle of Dutch Hitler, who plays the same position for the Rangers.
 The Detroit Red Wings had tc bring in Art Herchenratter from Indianapolis to play center when Ken Kilrea's leg was cut in the game with the Montreal Canadiens Kilrea'S wound required nine stit- cheS.
 Joe Cooper of the Chicago Black Hawks was clipped for several stitches by the stick of Tommy An- derson of the Americans.

 Jack Portland, sold by the Black Hawks to the Canadiens, first tried out with the Montreal club several years ago. Paul Thompson of the Hawks is willing to take a chance on losing a game or two to give try out to Max Bentley and Dave Mo- Kay, prominent prospects. Lester Patrick, the Rangers man. ager, is recovering from an illness that should have confined him to his bed for three weeks. Instead tht Gray Fox compromised by taking off his skates for the first time since he got on 'em many years ago as a kid on a Montreal pond.
 Speaking of hockey injuries, Neil Colville of the Rangers suffered a ! thaee-stitch wound under his nose while sitting on the bench during the Ranger Red Wing game.

lessor of psychology catch a touch- down pass and I've never heard of a director of athletics kicking a field goal. To the best of my knowledge the staff of the Enslish department doesn't scrimmage three days c week, march with the band, or lead the stands in cheering.
 Until the faculty members take up their share of these burdens, let them give the boys who carry the mail the right to say where they want to carry it. Otherwise the word "big" as used in Big Ten will remain merely one more ye. dundant adjective

livious. With their special sensi-
tiveness they often reveal an age TO
itself. Consider Georges Rouault,
whose lifework beginning today is
to be on view. What he has always
painted is his soul-shaking COM
passion and his blazing revelation Of
mans inhumanity to man. For
Rouault, Christ is crucified every
day"
AS everything which is extreme,
different, emotional, the work of
Rouault cannot escape being con-
troversial. 1t will mean much to
some and nothing to others; it will
be revered and bitterly hated. Be-
cause three museums of this coun-
try have thought it worthy of show
ing and others concerned with art
have given it approval, it should be
thoughtfully considered with open,
unprecedented mind, but the decision
must rest with the individual. Great
art speaks for itself-is capable of
delivering its own message. Art
which is insincere, untrue, into
which meaning has been read by
others seeking discovery, will never
touch the hearts of the multitude
nor endure the test of time. We
may judge the paintings of Rouault
to our own personal leanings. but
we must not forget that, at the
same time, they will be judging US.

Oaks Collection, the Albright Art
Gallery, the Art Institute of Chi
cago. the Springfield Museum, the
Wadsworth Atheneum, Hartford,
Conn, and about IS private collec-
tors in different parts of the coun-
try-who, for the most part are ex-
ponents, or advocates, of extreme
modern art.
An deliberately illustrated cata-
logue has been issued, containing
not only a list of the lenders, but a
preface by Mr.. Plaut, an introduc-
ton by Lionelle Ventura, and a
biography of the artist, chronology
ically arranged.
Born.in a Paris cellar in 1871 dur
ing the instruction of the Com
mune, Rouault seems to have been
destined to be revolutionary and to
find expression through the medium
of painting, Before entering the
Ecole DIES Beaux Arts in 1891 he was
apprenticed to maker of stained
glass and stepped himself in the
works of the Gothic glassmakers. In
1898 he experienced a loss and shock
in the death of his master, Gustave
Moreau. and underwent violent
psychological crisis bordering on
complete collapse" In 1903 he ex-
hibited with the Fauves. From 1916
to 1899 Ambrose Vollard, the we'll
known Paris art dealer, controlled
his complete output-an arrange
ment terminated by Vollard's death
in an automobile accident. Rouault's
whereabouts at present are I'M
known.
OF Rouault's art, Ventura says: "It
does not submit to the beauty preju-
dice. His images are not nice" We
are not, he tells us, Ito expect intel
lectual calculation and geometric
pattern in his painting" But the
artists expressions, Ventura insists,
have "a moral, even religious
value"
MIR. Plaut, in his preface to the
Rouault exhibition catalogue, says
that, above all, in contact with this
painter he was impressed by his
piety, and Alfred Frankfurter, in q
review of the exhibition In Boston,
published in the Art News, declares
him to be "the only great Christian
artist of today" 1T is evidently
along these lines that Mr.. Phillips
thinks of him, for, with reference to
the current showing, he has written
as follows:
"Some artists remain marvelously
Indifferent to what is going on in
the world. so absorbed are they II,
their task, but not many are 20 OBJ

elephants, all the enchantment
which such shows bring to a small
town, rendered in sprightly manner
with a skillful brush, convincingly.
The president of the Washington

work, a painting of two brothers,

assured. Some of the themes are
not in themselves lovely. but the
way in which they have been pre-
scented gives them genuine allure.
This is art of a kind which. it may
be reasonably supposed, will find
favor with opponents of both the
new and the old school-and that
Is as it should be.
Wash Is More Colorful.
The art of water color has eX-
perienced many changes in the
past $50 years. When it first came
into vogue it was little more than
a transparent wash applied to
drawings to enliven effect-and this
it continued for a good many years,
the lines growing less inSistent and
the wash a little more colorful.
The first great change was initiated
by artists in Holland. toward the
latter part of the 10Th century,
who began mixing their color with
Chinese white, which gave it body
and permitted the use of gray in
place of white paper. Thus, for the
first time, water color was put on

section of public taste. The paint
ings have attractive subjects-land-
scapes, marines, flowers and still life,
family portraits or other figures. A
majority of the artists represented
are contemporary: Alexander Clay
ton, Benson B. Moore, Lesley jack
son, Ruth Stafford, Westinghouse,
and Marguerite S. Pearson, James
Reynolds, Edward Redfeld. Jessie
Benton Evans and John Marin. Two
early water colors by Mr.. Marin are
the surprise of the exhibition to
persons acquainted only with his
later works, exhibited at the Phillips
Memorial Gallery. These early
water colors are conservative in
character, and give no hint of his
later development.
In studying this exhibition. how
ever, it should be kept in mind that
the loans are from lay and artist
members engaged in the fine arts.
The exhibition closes Thursday.

mination of positive effort. Thus
it would probably be interpreted by
observers of a religious tempera-
ment. But, as matter of fact, the
painting lends itself quite as easily
to a sardonic Interpretation.
One more painting, The Red
Door, depicting the interior of a
room with a hideous color scheme of
red and acid green, is a recollection
of room the artist once occupied in
Louisville. 1t seems to symbolic an
uncomfortable feeling of insecurity,
as he described it.
