Zemnons Local Surprise Of State Meet
Ted Oelwine Is Big Shot In National Collegiate Tennis
Talbert Is Only Other Ranking Star Entered
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 New Orleans, June 24.-With En- sign Joe Hunt, last years champion, on active Navy duty, Ted oelwine of Southern California and Bill Tal- bert of Cincinnati, the only other nationally-ranked entries, have an inside track in the National Col- legiate tennis tournament at Tu- lane, now going on.
 Oelwine Is an almost prohibitive favorite. He was a singles hnalist last year and paired with Charles Mattmann to capture the doubles.
 Oelwine's chief opposition figures to come from Talbert, Seymour Greenberg of Northwestern, Bill Reedy of Southern California, Har- ris Everett of North Carolina, Gene Russell of Western Michigan, Gard mar Larned of Chicago and Dan Canale of Notre Dame. WEST COAST SHOULD MAINTAIN PRESTIGE
 
 Greenberg, southpaw Big Ten champion, won the Eastern Inter- collegiates in 194l and has had a great season.
 Reedy was a semi-finalist in the doubles last year and, with Oelwine, George Richards and Mattmann, should maintain far western pre- tige.
 North Carolina ran up 8 phe- momenal streak of GA straight vic- tories until Princeton stopped the Tar Heels this year. The Chapel Hill boys, who haven't lost in Dixie since 1928, will be represented by Everett and Ham Anthony.
 Russell lost only to Greenberg this season in Il maches, has collegiate record of 32 victories against eight defeats. He was the only collegian to defeat Notre Danes Canale this year. PROXIMITY OF MEETS SMELLS ENTRY LISTS
 Notre Dame had the best team In Its history.
 The undefeated Irish are cap tained by 5-foot 6-inch, 130-pound Canale, who was also university 127-pound boxing champion. He won seven of nine matches on the court.
 Canale teams in doubles with 6. foot 4-inch Bob Taught, basketball wizard.
 A 3,eO0.pound truck ran over Faught's stomach three times when he was small boy. Surgery restored him. He recently passed the Navy's rigid VI examination,
 Larned is highly rated around Chicago.
 The better collegians participated in the clay court championships if1 St. Louis before moving on to New Orleans. The proximity of the tour naments gave entry lists healthy boost.
 The two tournaments may reveal the players who will adorn the na- tional finals at Forest Hills. It may be that the coming national champion will come to the fore.
 Which may quiet those who have been insisting the amateur tennis was feeling rigor mortis even be- for the war began curtailing sports.

GOSSIP FROM
HOLLYWOOD

HOLLYWOOD. May 4. Quo
Vadis," as powerful and as spec
tacular in its way as Ben Hur,"
goes before the cameras in June.
This was the news this morning,
with the added word that Arthur
Hornblow Jr. will get this as his
first M-G-M picture. Not a bad
break, I'd say. Lana Turner,
M-G-Ms glamor girl, plays Lygia,
beauty of Neros time, with Robert
Taylor as her co-starring partner.
A story of Roman society under
Nero's regime. when the christians
were few in number, Quo Vadis, y
by Henryk Sienkiewicz, has been
printed in almost 30 languages.
Many years ago it was made by
the Cines Italian Film Company.
And in its day was considered. a
work of pictorial art.

Tonight
BY CHARLES GENTRY

LAST NIGHT 1t was the black
out, but tonight It's about the
brightest illumination Detroit has
ever seen what with all those daZ-
cling stars turning out to turn
lit on for that sensational Army
Emergency and Navy Relief show
in the State Fair Coliseum.
The streamlined Hollywood Vic
tory Caravan which drew into the
Michigan Central station this
morning deposited more celebrities
than usually attend an Academy
Award dinner.
Maybe you were on hand TO give
them that rousing welcome this
morning, but If you weren't, you'll
have a better chance TO see them
in action by getting a ticket from
Grinnells or one OF the leading
theaters for tonight's single per-
Torrance.

PIPE THE CHORUS
There's chorus OF filmland's
most beautiful starlets all dincing
and singing TO special music
whipped up by Jerome Kern.
Irving Berlin and some of the
boys who turn out the best music.

They're all going to do some

libbing will take up the time OF
your life, so we suggest that you
better catch il. There are still
plenty of seats left for all pocket
books.

"Wonder Boy" in June? I give
up! Twentieth says that Walter
Lang is set to direct and that
Rochester has been signed for a
part-So something must be wrong
about the Universal setup. Maybe
their date is June 1913. Anyhow,
Jack is expected at Twentieth.
HE'S BETTER NOW

first, then Kenneth could point
out that he was n corporal, and

might remember) was SER

found that the rest of the way
was just as easy if not quite as
