ling solo would shame most grunt and groan specialists who work in pairs.
 That's Kennedy the snowman. But there's a Kennedy the official too There must be, because Pat gets some mighty important as- signments.
 Pat, who started his foul-calling career at Is in a Hoboken athletic club preliminary when an official failed to show up, now works one game of almost every collegiate doubleheader at the Garden.
 Because of their intersectional nature, these games are especially tough to call. Pat explains:
 Different sections interpret the rules differently Our biggest head ache, the block by a player who has just passed the ball, is a di- rect result of that fact. In the East, players and coaches agree that the paSser after the pass, must not contact the man guarding him, pro- viding the guard gives the offensive man three rect in which to move.
 The western interpretation gives the passer more leeway toward brushing his guard out of the play after the pass
 Pat credits intersectional games with going a long way toward a universal interpretation on that and other troublesome rules.
 Speaking of rules, Pat is all for the faster game (three times as fast, he says) now in effect-even if it does put a greater strain on officials as well as players. He ex- plains that today's official must be faster than the play itself to keep on top of the game. He must look ahead, anticipate every move and be there to see the play when it happens.
 To get in shape, Kennedy spends two hours a day in a gym for six weeks before the season starts. He works baseball in the summer up until mid-July, then goes in for golf and swimming. During the winter days he's physical educa- tion instructor in a Hoboken junior high school.
 Pay for big-time basketball of ficials varies, but a big game between hot rivals-Army and Navy, let's say-is worth about $75 to officials like Kennedy Average big games run about $50.

The University of Washington basketball team is all alone out in front of the Northern Division of the Pacific Coast Basketball Con- ference standings and is sure to stay there for one more week.
 A one point victory over Oregon State in the game last Saturday night kept Washingtons record of no defeats clean while Idaho was winning a second victory Saturday night by similar margin over Oregon.

Grace MOOre'S Recital
Shows Developing Artistry
Singer Charms Audience With Fully
Given Performance and Climaxes 1t
With Songs From Her Pictures

Ouilter's Come Away, Death" was
given with well-sustained phraslng
and proved to be one Of the loveliest
of the group, which further included
Castelnuovo- -Tedesco ''Hark, Hark,
the Lark" and Buzzi-Peccia' S Come,
Buy"
Among the five songs in French
which followed, Bizet's "L'Absence"
was outstanding. both from the
point of musical value and the
feeling manner in which Miss Moore
sang it. Paulin's Que deviennent
les roses" dedicated to the artist,
was a lovely number, with poetry
in the music and the words. Manuel
Rosenthal's nonsensical "Fido, Fido,"
all about dog which, as stated
in the note, was really very
ridiculous dog" would have been
more entertaining if sung in Eng
lish, although Miss Moore explained
its meaning before singing it.
Pierne's lie Moulin" and Tschai-
kowsky's "Toi seul' completed the
group.
Another song 0edlcated 10 MISS
Moore, Quilter's Spring Voices"
was the first of four songs in Eng
lish with which the program closed.
An Appalachian folk song, Red
Roseybush," was the best of this
group, sung with the fine feeling
for line as joined to the text which
had been the artistic achievement
of the singer throughout the pro-
gram.
The charm of Miss Moore's re-
citalS is the way she gives of her
self to make her selections emo
tionally complete for her audience.
Aside from her growth in matters
technical there is greater depth and
greater artistic appreciation than
ever before. In this respect, espe-
cially, the recital was most inter-
esting, and so her listeners must
have thought, for they were avid
for more. Besides the encores al
ready mentioned Miss Moore sang
the aria, mi chiamanO Mimi" from
La Boheme";; Schubert's "Sere-
made" and The Old Refrain" The
singer was seconded in her interpre-
tations by the sympathetic accom-
panimentS of Isaac Van Grove.

Getting a little more personal,
they wanted to know why, when
their editors and readers were de-
manding verifcation or denial of
certain marriage, Charlie should
wrap himself in even more silence.
They wanted to know why, after
all these rebuffs, they should sud-
denly be welcomed at the Chaplin
residence at a so-called press con-
ference"
1t was obviously an uncomfort-
able session for the cloistral Charlie.
Any one else might have gotten
pretty mad, but Charlie didn't. He
was pleasant, even jovial, through
the entire inquisition. And at the
conclusion he admitted he was all
wrong.
But what can I do?" he kept re-
peating. I'm all the time worn out
when I'm working on picture. And
I dread interviews.
But it's just part of my make
up. l can't change it. But I can
promise to be more thoughtful and
cooperative when I start my next
picture. I'll really see that my sets
aren't barred next time

moral victory over Mr.. Chaplin. if
ever so slight, and was content
thereafter to let Charlie talk about
his coming picture.

By ALICE EVERSMAN.

Grace Moore concluded her recital
at Constitution Hall yesterday after
noon by singing the popular songs
from her motion pictures. This was
what the audience was waiting for
and it climaxed the effect that her
presentation of a we'll planned pro-
gram had made.
After her second group she gave
an encore which she told her listen
ers had always been her secret am
bition" to sing, but which she had
never done in public before-the
"Habanera, from Carmen"
The songs from her screen sue
cesses and the gypsy girls famous
aria released Miss Moore from the
dignity of a concert bearing and
she sang them with all the vivacity
that has endeared her to those
who have become her fans outside
the concert hall. and with gestures
that gave an idea of the action of
the music plays.
The remainder of the program re-
vealed the artist that has developed
so markedly within the last few
years. The absence of ostentation,
the careful vocal delivery and the
deep sentiment which characterized
her singing yesterday are gains she
has made toward a serious artistry
quite apart from the appeal of her
personality and voice. The latter
was not quite so fresh in the be-
ginning of the recital as it has been
on other occasions, but by the time
she had reached the one aria on
the list-"Ebben, ne andre lontana," F."
from Catalani's La Wally"-it had
taken on more power and clarity. A
tendency to be slightly under the
pitch was noticeable, as was the use
of too much force in the upper tones.
However, this detracted very little
from the beauty of her performance,
which was richly colored from the
emotional side. A choice group of
songs with texts from Shakespeare
formed the first group and were sung
with great refinement of style. Sulli-
vans "Orpheus and His Lutte"
showed the quality of her voice to
better advantage than any of the
other numbers on her program.

drawing in what reserve forces were

In the last case, a real German

well have disastrous results. We
know, however, comparatively little

There is tendency in some quar-
ters to believe that beyond the 100

the bulk Of the initial phase of Rus
sian mobilization, little is available
in the way of organized and equipped
reserve divisions. This, too, seems
likely to be tested by the demands
of battle before very long.
