Tom Hos Comfortable Job
Lined Up in Radio.

The all-everything has a comfort
able job lined up in his chosen
medium, radio. In the time of
Grange and in the days of Thorpe,
Heston and EckerSau, college foot
ball heroes did not go in for voice
culture because there practically
was no voice culture to be had.
You can get 1t now, and Terrible
Thomas snapped it up from the
start.
"1 took voice and a lot of Eng
fish," he says. They're both i'm
portant in the kind of work I want
to do. It's not just sports announc-
ing I'm planning on, though Ill
enjoy that. I want to try every
phase of radio speaking that I can
handle. I've worked on programs
from Ann Arbor, but I need more
experience and the sooner I start
getting it the better"
You can bet there is bitterness at
Michigan over the fact that great
team had a perfect season marred
by a single point after touchdown,
particularly when the statistics
seemed to show that the Wolver-
ines outplayed Minnesota, their con-
uueror.

Dr.. Tigert Of Florida
Out of Grid Pain
BY GRANTLAND RICE.
gpecial Correspondent OF The Star.

| NEW 1ofG6, Lee. q NAN Al -
Some IS years ago your correspond
ent operated as referee or umpire
more than once in the general vicin-
| ity of halfback and fullback by
the name of John j. Tigert Of
Vanderbilt. Ct"
Tigert, 6 feet 3, 100, was one OF
| the best backs of his day. No one
loved football more and his main
delight was ripping line wide open
with catapultic charges.
For a great many years the same
John j. Tigert has been president
Of the University of Florida. He
has been one of our leading educa-
tors. But he still loves football.
For the last few seasons DR.. Tigert
has had to inspect a rather dreary
scene, insofar as his team was con-
cerned. This season, we are glad to
report, his surroundings have been
more pleasant

Lieb faced a tangled situation
when he struck Gainesville, but it
is different now. His Florida team
still has Texas left for next Satur-
| daV and Texas might as well be
on the lookout for trouble.
1t is, at least, pleasant to know
that DR.. John ]. Tigert, after many
weary years in the wilderness Of
defeat, has at last arrived at the
rose-bordered rim of the promised

Cooeh Nicely Of Rice Due
For Greater Recognition.

Not that Rice University is on
any off-trail But Rice has coach
who hasn't received his just recog-
milton. His name is Jess Nicely. one
of Vanderbilt's best quarterbacks.
Nicely was Clemson's coach be-
fore leaving for Rice and recall
year ago that Wallace Wade Of
Duke named him as one of the best
coaches in the country. Nicely was
the coach who developed Banks
McFadden and he also was the
coach who beat Boston College in
the Cotton Bowl game last New
Year Day. This Boston defeat was
hard shock for Pop warner, who
said then that B. c. was the best
football team in America.
Nicely has turned in a great Job
at Rice. His team has beaten L.
S. u, % to O; Texas, IS to o; T.
C. u, Arkansas and others. BY
next fall you can figure Rice among
the topfight teams of the Nation.

Motty Bell ColIed Turn
On Texas Aqs' Defeat.

I'D like to make one football
prediction" Matty Bell of Southern
Methodist remarked at Pittsburgh
in early October. THAT prediction
is that no team in the Southwest
ern Conference is going through
unbeaten. Everybody will lose at
least one game"
do you include Texas A. and M.
in this liSt?" I asked the Texas
coach.
Sure" he said. They have a
great team. But some one will
knock them down-Rice, Southern
Methodist or Texas. After all,
Texas A. and NJ isn't the only good
team in that section. There are
several others who are q match for
anybody"
Matty Bell certainly called the
turn Dana Bible had his Texans
adjusted physically and mentally
for this uprising. proving again the
uncertainty of this football whirI-
pool.

Kerr of Boston College
Ace Scholar Of Grid

who is the best scholar playing
football this fall?" asks Sideliner.
That should mean something"
We have no set figures, but our
guess would be George Kerr, the
brilliant guard at Boston College
1t is no secret to state that Frank
Leahy rates Kerr the ablest man
on his Boston team. In addition to
that he is a brilliant Greek and
Latin student, of which there are
extremely few today. Kerrs schol-
astic rating certainly would match
that of any football player on any
other team, and far surpass the
records made by most who are not
football players. There is certainly
no finer character in football from
coast to coast.
No pro football for Kerr, where
he would be star. For him the

ECLIPSE OF
 SUN I5 DUE
 ON APRIL J

EVANSTON. Ill, Jan. 29.-A tran sit of Mercury, phenomenon which will occur only twelve times during the present century, is predicted by pr. Oliver ,J. Lee, chairman of the astronomy department at Northwest ern University, as one of the prin- cipal astronomical features of 194O. He said the heavens also would exhibit two solar eclipses, a. number of meteor showers, and "of course. the astronomical joker, an unchart- ed comet, may appear at any time. ,"
 The transit of Mercury. he ex- plained, is the planet crossing the disc of the sun. It will be, visible in most of North America from 2:5O pm. (E. s. T) until sunset on No- vember II, he said. The planet mov- ing off the sun will be visible in Northeast Asia.
 The last such transit according to astronomical records, occurred in 1927. The next one, after this year, is scheduled in 1883.
 Only one eclipse will be visible in North America, he said. It will be the annular eclipse when the moon is so far from the earth that it does not cover the entire disc of the sun, and will occur April '. It will reach 65 per cent of totality in the Middle West at pm. (C. s. T.) and will be seen as complete across Southern California and the north ern edge of the Gulf of Mexico.
 A total eclipse October will be seen only from Northern South Am erica and Southern Africa but will be visible as partial eclipse at sun- rise in Southern Florida.
 Meteor showers in the 194O calen- dar include those visible on the North American continent the nights of January 2, April 20, May g. July 28, August 12, October 20, November IA, November 24 and December 10.

decisions which, no matter how nm
fair, could not be appealed but they
also have been the sole interpreters
of the law by which these boards
were created. Thus, they have be-
come jury, judge and prosecutor. Such
a state of affairs was bound to re-
suit IN the abuse of power and in
belief among members of these boards
IN their own infallibility and superb
GRITTY. 1t has bred arrogance and in.
tolerance, and the frequent demon
strations of these qualities is the real
reason the Walter-Logan bill was con-
ceived.
1t is the reason the bill has been in
dorsed by so many bar associations,
business organizations and individuals,
and why it went through the House
by vote of nearly 3 to 1. The New
Dealers asserted that if passed the bill
would make hash out of the admins
trative machinery" but this seems an
unsound argument, inasmuch as, with
out proof, the appeal from decisions
OF the boards would be expensive and
futile. The argument is that
unless the boards act with gross I'M
fairness and in disregard of the facts
there would be no appeal and no
slowing down of the administrative
machinery.
In truth the sole purpose of the
bill is merely to impose a decent re-
straint upon members of these regula-
tory boards. The very violence of the
reaction against it by the affected
agencies is evidence of their dislike
for restraint Of any sort and is itself a
good argument for the bill. If it comes
to vote, it will pass the Senate as t
passed the House. The New Deal effort
is either to smother the bill in COM
mittee or stall off action until the ses-
sion adjourns. If this cannot be done,
they threaten a Presidential veto on
the ground that the bill is GLADLY
drawn" and would cripple the work
OF the regulatory boards. If, by what
ever means, they succeed in prevent
