o<NcNS1SD 1I1E<A lfLE
Employing for its background
the impressive grandeur of the
mountains and forests of the North
Canadian Rockies, and co-starring
three Of Hollywood's most popular
personalities-Ray Milland, Patric-
la Morrison and Akin Tamiroff-
Paramount has contrived an excit-
ing and completely entertaining
triangle drama in its motion pic
ture version Of Sinclair Lewis in
triguing story, "Mantrap," which
has been brought to the screen
under the title, "Untamed," and
has its local premiere next Sunday,
at the Oxford Theatre and runs 8
days.
Briefly the story tells of the ner-
vous breakdown of young society
doctor, Ray Milland, who is order
ed into the North woods to recup-
crate. Engaging Akin Tamiroff as
his guide, Milland is hurt during a
bear hunt, and is left in the care
of Tamiroff's beautiful, city-bred
wife, Patricia Morrison, while the
extended hunt Is continued. Chat
ing against the sly glances and op-
en- dislike of the woman of the tiny
community, and yearning to return
to the social life she had previously
enjoyed, Patricia is strongly at
tracted to the young city doctor,
and both are dismayed when they
realize that their love is mutual.
Just as Milland Is preparing to
return to his city practice, an epi-
demic Of streptococcus breaks out
in the, now snowed-in village. Mil
land starts off alone to the nearest
town, fifteen miles away, through a
raging blizzard, to get a necessary
serum to combat the disease. Pat
dicia, fearing for his life, follows.
Returning from the hunt. Tamiroff
is convinced by gossiping neighbors
that the two have run away togeth-
er, and starts after them with muir
der in his heart. He finds them
unconscious and slowly freezing to
death in deserted cabin, and from
this point the picture builds to a
tensely dramatic climax.
Outstandingly fine performances
have been given not only by Mil
land, Miss Morrison and Tamiroff,
but also by Jane Darwell and VIM
F'rawley in featured roles, and the
entire supporting cast.

ing action Of two vessels fighting
for supremacy is unfolded with
terrific impact and amazing realism
In Hal Roach's Captain Caution"
the sweeping sea epic based on
Kenneth Roberts best seller, which
will be shown at the Main Street
Theatre next Sunday, Monday and
Tuesday.
The scope Of sweeping action on
the screen has always been limit
less because Of the versatility of the
camera, and never has this been
more forefully proved than in the
vividly realistic sequences which
are unreeled in Captain Caution"
But flaming action is not the only
highlight in this new adventure
romance. Starred in the film are
Victor Mature and Louise Platt,
and in prominent supporting roles
are such favorites as Leo Carrillo
Bruce Cabot, Vivienne Osborne,
Robert Barrat and Miles Mander.
The screenplay for the production
was written by the noted scenarist,
Grover Jones.
One Of the big jobs facing the
Captain Caution" company was
the rigging Of the good ships "Olive
Branch" and Beetle" which take
part in the sea battle during the
War Of 1872. Fifteen experts were
engaged to construct total of five
complete masts, with rigging strong
enough for a scene in which Is feet
Of swapping rope and a huge spar
could fall from the roof Of the set
and swing a few inches over the
heads Of Victor Mature and Louise
Platt, hero and heroine of the pic
ture.
The slam-bang, rough-and-tum-
BILE fight between Victor Mature
and Bruce Cabot in Captain Cau-
ton" required two and one half
days to Film. Both actors used to
do a lot of amateur boxing, but
they agreed that this so-called sham
battle was the most strenuous in
which they had ever engaged.

Of Course You
Know or Do You?

In the belief that series Of ques-
tions pertaining to rules of football
can heighten spectator interest, we
present in this space each week for
several weeks a series of questions.
The quiz is made relatively simple
in the fact that we also answer the
questions. Simple isn't it? To
many 1t may be routine; to others
it may be highly informative. The
lists are from an assemblage Of
rules, put in the form Of questions,
that Coach Ray Schwartz has pre-
sented to his charges. We are in
debted to him.
Q-How is the game started?
BY toss Of a coin the captain
has one of two privileges and the
loser Is given the other. (A) to
designate which team shall kick of,
and (B) to designate own goal.
At the start of the second half the
captain who lost the toss may have
the choice. The game is then start
ed by one team kicking off on the
40 yard line while the other team
receives the ball in which players
must be just ahead of their own As
yard, or restraining line.
Q-What is official playing time?
A-Playing time is IL minutes
for each of four quarters. 2 min
ute intermission between 1st and
End and between 3rd and 4th quar-
ters for change Of goals. Halftime
intermission, when teams may leave
the field, is Is minutes.
Q-When Is time out?
A-the timekeeper stops his
watch when: Ball Is out Of bounds,
fair catch has been made, when ball
is dead following a foul, referees
time out, after touchdown until
the next kickoff, teams time out.
Q-What is a charged timeout?
Alt occurs when: a substitute
reports when ball Is dead and time
is not out; a captain asks for time
out. There is no charge timeout

Main StreeterS
Poised for Title
Bid Friday Eve.

With squad increase that has
put more than so boys into uniform
since the opening Of school, Coach
Ray Schwartz & Company hasten
ed into intensive rehearsals this
week for the seasons scheduled
opening-and they have something
to shoot at. This opener starts
off hotter than a depot stove.
In the first place Schwartz has
definitely labeled this game a
pointer"
In the second place the lads are
out to brush up a record for OPEN
ing day tilts that Is dismal enough
For in nine years Sauk Centre has
won just one opening day encount-
er.
Beating the drums this week
and calling squad spirit high,
Schwartz pointed out that the
game tomorrow evening, FRI
day, at Benson marks the in
itial game for Benson under
their own lighting system. All
Of which will put Benson high
in the spirit angle itself.
Schwartz lost no time in point
ing out that while Benson will OBJ
viously be on its mettle more than
ever because of its opening under
the lights, Sauk Centre is not with
out its incentives for this opening
game tilt.
This game too marks Sauk Cen
tres first year eligibility as a title
contender in the West Central Con-
ference that last year saw Monte
video and Benson in the upper
bracket. A year ago Sauk Centres
eligible entry was hampered be-
cause schedules were almost COM
pletely arranged by the time its
entry was completely set.
Heartening feature Of the squad
this year is that from the 80 who
reported the opening day two weeks
ago the squad has increased to
about IS, Schwartz said.
IT am not too impressed with the
material" he said, Were weak at
the wing back, ends and center
posts, but we hope to bring them
around all right with polish"

the coaches job no easier.
It's an interesting point In
this connection that in the rec
ent All-Star game q newspaper
man pointed out that many Of
the big name players who were
popular enough to be selected
were popular because Of press
notices with the fans. But
with the coaches were often not
SO stellar as some player who
had less press noticeS-but
more gray matter. In other
words what this corner or the
fans may see In a certain play
or does not mean that he is
looked upon In the same light
in the coaches eyes. What
the fans see may not fit into
the pattern the coach has in
mind. This Is just to keep
the record straight. =.
Jerry Shively was looking at the
breeze scamper by the other day
and was itching to get at his sail
craft. +. His craft is the Spook
/. He was telling us a couple
interesting things about sail, and
its intriguing relations with the
wind, that set us all agog for one
of the skiffs. There's a lot to
learn about one of those crafts, and
it all depends on the wind. :.
For instance it is possible to sail
faster than the directional velocity
Of the wind. He pointed out,
which may be old stuff to some of
you, that to sail directly before
the wind is not so good as sailing
across 1t a bit. He explains
it thuswise: BY sailing across it.
wind rushes diagonally on the sail
and at the same time wind brushes
past its billowing expanse. :.
What happens when the wind goes
past is something like this. It
sets up a vacuum directly behind
the sail, so that actually the wind
is both pushing and pulling the
craft!
Little problem I want to
bring up before the field hunt
ing gets underway. Last
year farmers reported to this
corner that meadow sections
and wooded lots were touched
off into blazes last year which
extinction cost them a lot of
valuable time and Of course
some wood and meadow.
This Is not designed for hunt
ers alone but for anyone who
uses the crisp fall days for
tramping through the country.
-. Be careful. Don't toss
lighted cigarets. You're ON
someone else's property; treat
1t as II It were your own. Or
dinarily little danger exists, but
1t did happen and can again.
Elimination Of waste in the hunt
ing problem was a recurrent talk
primer among hunters as the sea-
son ended last year. With
hundreds and hundreds taking to
these days, many of them
adequate knowledge or
the problem of conser-
vation becomes more acute. One
Of conservation's first premises is
the elimination of waste. Check
ing our files of a year ago we find
references often to hunters whose
dogs brought in one, two, three
even up to seven ducks-all Grip
pies.
Without dogs, these same
hunters admit that these
wounded birds would have been
lost. There Is strong hint
that at some time soon sports
men may propose that q dog
must be q necessary part Of the
hunting paraphernalia. >. 1t
appears to get at the roots Of
one of the problems. More and
more hunters are realizing that
q retriever, In duck hunting
particularly, Is quite necessary.
