Dorais TO Use His
Talented Center
As Pass Receiver
Nv HAROLD KAHL

TULSA, Oct. 17.-University OF
Detroit is the only one. or. at least,
one of the very few football teams
in the country playing a major
schedule. whose center is part Of
the attack as a ball carrier.
To make use of Capt. Vincent
Banonis' speed-he's plenty fast
enuogh for the backfield in any
league-Coach Gus Dorais has
cooked up a variation Of what L..
of ID. players of yesteryear called

II was first made famous by
Ed Maloney. Nate Goodnow and
Lloyd Brazil. In kicking forma-
ton. Maloney. al fullback, would
receive the ball from center and

who ran a small half circle 10 a
point vacated by the defensive
tackle charging in. AS the second
airy bore in on Goodnow he flipped
a lateral out 10 Tailback Brazil,
running wide.
DORAIS VERSION
When Dorais has the ends and
backs TO coordinate properly he
employs a forward-lateral pass
play TO that effect In Dorais
variation OF NO go" the pass
goes forward 10 an end down the
field, who, in turn, laterals 10 Ba-
nonis. a center, who is the fin
isher.
The Titans have used this play
with success against Indiana and
Wayne and are set 10 try IL again
! when they meet Oklahoma a. &
M. at Lewis Field over in Still
water tomorrow afternoon And
don't be surprised If Dorais also
uses Banonis as a forward pass
receiver.
Did you say how? Well. if Ba-
nonls happens 20 be the man on
the end Of the Scrimmage line, he
is eligible for a pass There is
such thing as his cutting back
out OF the line and receiving from
one Of the backs after being the
original passer.
Few people know just what
Dorais can work out when, be has

Frank gave Rene a car for
Christmas and now he's buying
her a new home in the valley.
Personally. I'm a little weary
of the Lana Turner affairs of the
heart. Whether she makes up
with Tony Martin or rcconciles
with Artie Shaw doesn't make
much difference - because a
week later there'll be another
tiff Not long ago | said that no

brighter future than the little

Crosby Bushes

Bing Crosby, another sceen
romance hater, bushes when he
has 10 take the heroine into his

thin coating of powder has
to be put over his face.
As rule, Bing wears no
movie makeup-but making love
for money is something else
again in his life.
Don Ameche pretends he
doesn't mind romantic clinches
but he does.
He has never played a love
scene yet that he doesn't feel
silly and i'll at ease. I'll say one
thing for him-he certainly is a
better actor than we've given
him credit for, because his ro-
mantle interludes with Betty
Cradle in Down Argentine
Way were plenty romantic.
Gene Autry thinks it is per-
sonally disillusioning for his
fans IL he makes love to the
heroine. Gene prefers to sing
the romantic interludes and
thus get over the love angle"
by remote control.
In spite of these shy boys. II
isn't fair TO leave you with the
thought that the majority of
actors hate to make love to
Claudette Colbert, Greta Carlo.

BY CHARLES GENTRY

DERHAPS what you don't
know won't hurt you, but 1t
may entertain you, as in the case
of the mystery revue, "Sim Sala
Bim," which opens tonight at
the Cass Theater.
One can't hope to know all the
secrets of a magic show suchas
this one which boasts over a
thousand tricks and illusions,
but one can be baffled and
amused by it all.
Dante is the 'chief entrepre-
neur of all this trickery, and
with the help of Moi-Yo Miller
and a large company will offer
the same show which he pre-
sented in New York last year
for several weeks.
