 All that and more is in store for theatergoers viewing "The Road to Singapore" which headlines the joy ous Easter program opening at that theater this afternoon for an en- gagement of four days.
 Before going into any other de- tails of story or song it should be noted that this combination of tal- cnt is particularly fortunate what will the nice balance it provides be- tween the singing of Bing and Dot ant, topnotch gagging of Bob.
 To say that the story is swell comedy and romantic stuff is no ex- aggeration for Bing and Bob are constantly indulging in quaint lit- tie game of "patty-cake" in which they clap hands, then sock the party watching and there are numerous incidents beneath the benevolent shade of palms.
 The five new songs are really out standing tunes as sung by Miss La- mo,r and Bing. Among them are Too Romantic, "The Moon and the Willow Tree". and "Kaigoon." Although the work of all the players is outstanding, whether singing or clowning, special mention is made of Jerry Greetings, Gate" Colonna, who brings his nustachioed, eye rolling salf from radio to screen for side-splitting comedy interludes.
 AS the second big holiday hit the management proudly presents a thrilling drama entitled Women Without Names" with Ellen Drew, Robert Paige and John Milan in the featured roles.

BuckneII Game Seen
As Turning Tide Of
6. W. Fortune
CoIonioIs Are Hopeful
OF Finishing Season
At Better Than 500

Mindful of the fact that they
didn't hit their full stride until the
last three games of last season.
George WaShington's stalwarts are
pointing for Bucknell Saturday as
the first opponent on stretch drive
they hope will restore some of their
lost prestige. Georgetown remains
the Colonials' No game, for vic
tory over the neighboring Hilltoppers
would obliterate all trace Of G. WIS
previous defeats, but Coach Bill
Reinhart hopes to finish the cam
paign with better than a 500 average
and his boys must whip Bucknel to
accomplish the feat.
Reinhart worked long and patiently
with Ken Batson and Sam Babich
yesterday, trying to weave strand
of deception into the orthodox pat
tern, and most of the time was de-
voted to passing. Reinhart feels
that G. WIS best gains will be made
through the air Saturday, although
he is counting on more than little
yardage from Batson's legwork.
Word from Lewisburg, Pa, that
Melvin Knupp, Bucknells versatile
halfback, might be out of the game
because of injuries suffered against
Temple, was taken with grain Of
salt by the downtown schools coach
ing staff.
1t figures Bucknell has shown too
much to depend wholly on Knupp
and if he doesn't play, which is i'm
probable, the Bisons most likely will
have good runners to replace him.

EN- ROUTE TO TULSA, Nov. T.
Twenty nine strong, Catholic Uni
versity's football team was on the
way to its toughest game of the sea-
son today, that with the Tulsa OIL
erS on their Oklahoma gridiron Sat-
urday
The Cardinals were to stop over
in st. Louis for a brief workout this
afternoon and are due to arrive at
Tulsa early tomorrow morning.
Surprise victors by a 1877 count
last season, the Cardinals are ex-
pecting a vengeful Tulsa eleven to
face them Saturday. Before leaving
Washington, Coach Dutch Bergman
expressed the hope that C. U. would
be able to hold the fast-moving
Oklahomas to three touchdownS.
Comparatively speaking, Tulsa
seems to be just that much better
than Catholic. Last week Tulsa
nipped Gus Dorais' Detroit team,
TO, while Detroit stopped C. u,

In addition, Bergman is worried
over the physical side of the game,
for the Oilers are reported fortified
with heavy and charging
line which will outweigh C. US for
ward wall nearly 10 pounds to the
man.

more to tie the all-time record made
by Andy Farkas last year.
Almost as amazing as his passing
average of .708 is Sammy Baugh's

revealed as averaging 49 yards per
punt. The leagues best average last
year was A yards. The leagues
longest kick last year was 80 yards,
but Sammy already is credited with
one 70-yard boot, a quick kick at
that.

Moore, the Redskins will face the

streak of seven straight. Turk Ed

in only two games all year, but Ed
Justice again will be available for
duty, and his return assures the
Indians of another fine blocker and
pass receiver.
Although Andy Farkas is working
out daily and taking his regular
place in signal drill, he won't be
placed back on the active list until
just before the Bear game here a
week from Sunday. Moore also is
expected to be ready for the Bears,
and if the Redskins can come
through the Brooklyn game with

airy will be renewed for the 26th
time when Washington and Lee

Gov. Price and his staff, members
of the General Assembly and de-

The Virginia Washington and Lee
series had its beginning on a No

Cavaliers and Generals staged their
first formal contest On a section of
pasture land at Lexington. Led by

greater fame at Yale, and Billy

and fullback, the Cavaliers over
powered Washington and Lee,
46 to 0.
They met in intermittent games
until 1907, after which relations
were dormant until 1922. The cur
rent series has been unbroken since
the revival and Washington and
Lees amazing streak of seven
straight, beginning with the 1881
game, was halted in 1888 by a
13-to-0 Virginia triumph.
Virginia made it two in a row with
7-to-0 victory at Lexington last
year, moving ahead by a 13-to-l1
count. There was one tie.
