mouth, strong and wide-he did
very little to it, instead of cutting
it down. He gave her complete
new jaw line, took some of the spar
kle out of her eyes by using small,
heavy eyelashes at the ends of her

her, playing "Corunna, a strong

The artificial fog that hung like
blown flour over the Captain eau

ing the shooting of several Sc
quences bothered members of the
cast and crew; they complained that
the oil mixture left a bad taste in
their mouths. So the special effects
men, always obliging, introduced
vanilla into the fog.
The result was worse than ever
even roast beef and ham sandwiches
tasted like vanilla. The next day
plain fog was used again, and cast
and crew did no more complaining.
By this time motion picture stars
ought to know what to expect if they
go to South America. (Remember
Robert Taylor's visit?) The enthu-
siastic fans practically mob them,
but the stars seem to love it. Enrol
Flynn is the latest of the visitors
to find out how popular he is. In
Port au Spain, Trinidad, at least
5000 people stormed the airport to
see the star of ''The Sea Hawk;
later, while Flynn was dining, part
of the crowd broke through police
lines in the hotel lobby and
streamed into the restaurant, over
turning tables and chairs. A splin-
tered chair gashed Flynn's leg so
badly that it had to be stitched up.
His clothes were almost torn from
his back.
At Bahia 1900 fans greeted his
arrival. That's the way it's gone
everywhere that he went-it's hard
on the wardrobe, but fine for the
box office!
Recently Frances Langford was
just about to 60 on in the Star Thea

Without being able to learn just how
seriously he had been hurt Miss

her comedy lines, and then rushed
to the hospital.

WHEN you see Para

bert and Ray Milland, you'll
miss the mosts thrilling thing
that has happened so, far in
the filming of the picture. It
occurred in the scene where
Milland, Miss Colbert and
Garland Lincoln, a veteran
Hollywood stunt pilot, are
scuh1ing beside a plane; Miss Col
bert, who plays an American news
paper woman in Paris, has port
able typewriter, and Milland is bat
ting with Lincoln.
Just as Milland struck Lincoln, a
mechanic inside the cockpit of the
plane knocked one of the throttles
forward. The right motor was run
ming, and the plane swung around,
striking Milland and knocking him
to the ground. Wires braced to the
tail surface gashed his leg.
He insisted that he could continue
working, after doctor had dressed
his leg, but Director Mitchell Leisen
sent him home and shot around him
for the next few days.

DURHAM, N. c., Feb. l2.-The sit
uation which. President William g.
Bramham told the recent conven-
ton Of the National Association
Of Professional Baseball Leagues,
placed baseball 'in the darkest spot
since the Black Sox scandal" has
been cleared up.
Bramham announced over the
week end two decisions which ex-
PEELED Manager Clarence P. Roper
and Player Mike Slime from the
sport for life. suspended President
w. G. Courtney and all five direc-
tors of the Lenoir IN. c. club In
the Tar Heel League and fined the
club total of $740.
Slime Used False Name.
The lifetime ban on Roper and
Sine was because Sine was used
by Lenoir under an assumed name
(Bob Wells) last season while still
on the ineligible list of the Wausau
(Wis.) team in the Northern League.
Bramham made the incident an
occasion for warning "all parties
now or hereafter connected with
professional baseball that conduct
consisting Of knowingly employing
ineligible players or otherwise prac-
ticing frauds will meet SIM
liar action"
The president and directors were
absolved from this phase of the
Lenoir mess, but were suspended
because forged contracts for Al
players were filed by the club dur
ing 1899, ostensibly showing the
players were receiving $50 to $125
a month, when in reality they were
being paid $50 to $3.50 a month.
New Interests Get Club.
Bramham said the only reason he
had not forfeited the franchise was
that new interest entirely were TAX
ing 1t over for the 1910 season.
At the Cincinnati meeting In
December, Bramham lashed minor
league club representatives for in
competence and fraud and described
the Lenoir situation without then
naming the club, but asserting
some one is going to be seriously
hurt when it's cleared up."

ran to suit himslef, and was in a
commanding position for the final

The Cardinals 880-yard relay

Gallaudet's basket ball record for
the season isn't very impressive.
The Blues have lost more games
than they've won, but that doesn't
keep Coach Blair Smith from think
ing and saying he believes it's one
of the best teams turned out at Ken
dali Green in recent years.
Lets look at the record" he says,
like q true Smith. Seven of our
first nine games were played on the
road, and while we lost six all were
by close margins. We were up with
the opposition until the last few
minutes of the game and then fell
behind. Our trouble has been in
not having sufficient substitutes.
These teams just run the legs of my
boys and we keep up with them un-
til the last few minutes and then
they pull away"
Numbers Still Decisive.
It's the old story of good big
squad beating good small one.
Smith has about 10 players and can't
take them all on the trips. He
usually has about eight along, so
you see he's up against 1t for fresh
men to match enemy substitutions.
Then there's another angle, and this
Is peculiar. Gallaudet's boys are
lost under the basket. They flzzle
on more "snowbirds," or push-up
shots. than they make, and SNOW
birds" are supposed to be the easiest
shots In basket ball.
IT know, I know" says Smith,
'but it's not the players fault. Our
gym Is small, so small the baskets
are hung on walls at either end, and
when they run into the basket at full
speed they climb the wall to stop.
Understand what I mean? They're
actually running up the wall when
they lay up shot. Now away from
rome we play on large courts with
ample room at both ends of the court,
so when our boys 60 into the basket
they instinctively guard against hit
ting a wall. They want to climb and
there's nothing there, consequently
they're thrown off balance"
Smith thinks Gallaudet will finish
with q balance on the right side Of
the ledger, an opinion concurred In
by the squad and Co-managers Jack
Blindt and Jack Rogerson. Blair

Try Again in Come

Take a number from / to 10 and
you're still wrong. Thirteen events
clog the collegiate calendar this

basket ball to boxing and vice versa.
Ten games and three powder-puff
parties are listed, but not all for
home consumption.
Maryland also Is promoting its
annual song-and-dance affair, all-
college night, which depicts the
students at work on everything but
the books. This, however, cannot
be included on the sports program,

people to College Park than the
basket ball game with Catholic U.
or boxing match with Western

town tonight at Tech High. At
Brookland Catholic U. will have st.
Peters College for its guest. Both
games start at $3.50 after the usual
preliminaries at 7 o'clock.
Saturday George Washington will
invade West Virginia at Morgan
town.
Troublesome Foe for Hoyas.
Georgetown may have a bit OF
trouble with the Mountaineers, who
have the flighty idea they're out to
win every game-especially every
game with the Hoyas. Big Sleepy"
Glenn's teams have played havoc
with Georgetown in past years.
George Washington, however,
usually manages to plaster the
Mountaineers. In seven games, be-
tween the schools. the Colonials
have won five, while in 81 games
Georgetown holds an lilo edge.
The invasion of st. Peters prom.
ises no relief for "Fod" Cotton's hap
less and victory-starved Catholic U.
cagemen. Unable to win in nine
games, the Cards have been close,
but always bridesmaid and never,
etc, etc. At times the team has
shown a tendency to give 'em the
old c. U. fight and on other occa-
sions has laid down and played dead.
1t still has chance to salvage some
OF its vanishing prestige, however,
by knocking of st. Peters and then
Maryland.
Warm-Up for Maryland.
Maryland will warm-up for the
battle at Chestertown, Md, where 1t
meets Washington College Wednes-
day night. The Shoremen have q
respectable batting average for the
season, but If George De Witt & Co.,
Ltd. really are in the market for
points Maryland should win. The
Terps are pointing for the annual
Southern Conference championship
round and need two or three more
conference victories to be assured
OF an invitation. All of which means
they'll be working under pressure
from here in.
American University, defeated by
Georgetown earlier in the winter,
gets return match Thursday night
at Tech High. The Eagles have
displayed vast improvement since
the holidays, but don't appear to be
in the Hoyas' class this season.

AL Blozis' winning performance in
the shotput at the Maryland -5th
Regiment games Saturday night in
Baltimore was the result of long
and arduous practice that almost
wrecked Georgetown's Ryan gym.
Mike Connolly, custodian of equip
ment, was sitting in Jack Hagerty' s
subterranean Office boning for a Law
exam one gray afternoon last month
when a jagged piece of plaster tore
loose from the ceiling and crashed
down on his unsuspecting head. 1t
was accompanied by the doleful
thud of heavy object like small
safe or one of those Georgetown
tackles.
Michael adjourned court, bolted
through the door without bothering
to open it and raced up the rickety
wooden steps to help repel the at
tacking force. On the basket ball
court he came upon Blozis lovingly
digging his shot out of the splintered
floor and getting ready to give it
another heave.
1t wasn't enough that AL should
practice with an outdoor ball, which
was without the heavy leather pad
ding of an indoor pellet, but he nom
chalantly was tossing it on brand
new floor.
Hoyas Picked Right Track Coach.
There isn't much doubt that
Georgetown picked the right man
to handle its track team when 1t
signed Hap" Hardell, former Tech
High mentor. Hardell's mile relay
team, still undefeated, broke the
record Saturday night, going the
distance In 1924; Vince Braun and
Ken Lyden mopped up in the half
mile run; George Tucknott and
Morty Alnwick ran a dead heat in
beating the field in the 40; Johnny
Doolan copped the A. A. U. 70-yard
dash and George Began won in the
collegiate sprint. Yes, the Hoyas
won the college championship.
Georgetown has a plentiful supply
of material, of course. but Hardell
also is getting the best out Of it
