Huskies Rose Bo1ul Bid
Another Oddly of War

SEATTLE, Nov. 15.-LR-From
the orphans ward to the Rose
Bowl - that's the long jump
made by the University of Wash
ington football team. The Rose
Bowl committees selection of the
Huskies to meet Southern Califor'

son gridiron stakes, with the Pa
cific Coast Conference title on the
line. was reward which Wash

Washington became the orphan

reputation on the home front. But,

set of the March field flyers.
Washington remains the team no
body knows outside the Pacific

A powerful running attack gave
Washington it's start toward Pas
adena. The team ranks fourth IN
the nation in total offensive yard
age, with an average of 375 per
game. Of that, 292 yards are by
rushing.
The team, suffering an acute

OUTCOME WILL
DECIDE TITLE
Teams Tied In Thirty
Year Old Football
Series

CHAPEL HILL, Nov. IS. - R -
There probably will not be a bow
bid at stake when Duke university
and the University of North caro-
lima renew Tar Heelia's o l d IS
gridiron rivalry here Saturday fo1
the second time this season. bu'
these two points Of honor likely
will be settled: .,,
The Southern conference title,
and supremacy in the 30-year-olo
series between the two schools.
A win for the Tar Heels would
assure at least tie with Duke
for conference honors. while win
for either would break series
deadlock which now stands at Is
wins. II losses ana three ties tor
each. The first game was played
in 1883.
On paper the Dukes have the
more impressive record for the
season But records mean exactly
nothing when the two rivals take
the field. However, the tact that
Duke has amassed total OF 3oo
noints in nine games and is among
the nations leaders in total Of
ense. can't be set aside without
further study. Add to that the fact
that only a 14-13 loss to Navy
mars the season record.
The Tar Heels, after losing their
opener to Georgia Tech, bounded
back to defeat Penn State and the
North Carolina Navy Cloudbusters
bv close, but decisive margins.
Then came 14-7 less to Duke
in a bruising game. After that,
the Tar Heels stayed in the win
column and topped their come
back train with SO decision over
Penn Saturday.
Both teams suffered heavily
from the transfer OF Navy VIZ
personnel in nid-season, u t
Coaches Eddie Cameron OF Duke
and Tom Young of the Tar Heels
have uncovered new and potent
bali carriers. Since reorganization
of it's forces Duke has topped N.
C. State. $50. and Virginia, 49-o.
To replace Tom Davis, Leo Long
and Lamar Biount, the Dukes have
Buddy Luper, fleet runner ana
an excellent passer and kicker;
Gordon Carver, a veteran mold
over. and two transfer juniors,
George Balitsaris of Tennessee.
and Bo Sacrinty. ex-Wake Forest
letterman.
The Tar Heels new backfield
is built around three transfers, Eo
die league of N. c. State, Hosea
Rodgers of Alabama, and Bob Nc
Collum, all veterans at the busl-
ness of ball hawking; and a cou-
pie of Tar Heel holdovers, Billy
MYERS. a beautiful runner, kicker
and passer, and jack Fitch, an
up-and-conning star.
Rugged, hard-chargins lines that
are equally potent on offense and
defense, have KEEP scoring to
minimum throughout the season.
The current Duke line, for IN
stance, is being compared to the
.siron Dukes" of 1888, who saw
their goal line crossed for the first
time in the 1889 Rose bowl game
with Southern California. The for
ward wall ranks third and fourth,
respectively, among the nations
better teams in rushing defense
and in total defense.

SINCE THEY have modernized
practically all of your old favorite
film characters, it was inevitable
that they produce a 1913 model of
The Phantom of the Opera"
Perhaps you recall that grisly
character who used TO scare the
nightlightS out of you circa 1920.
Those were the days when Lon
Chaney's Reign of Terror was at
its height and Riddles ate their
o a TIM ca Shuddering lest the
gurgling, grinning dwelling and
drooling monster would come and
get them like dear thoughtful old
grandma said he would.
OF course, the problem facing
producer George Wagner was
just how to Streamline a phantom.
Obviously you couldn't glamorize
a monster, and you can't mod
ernie horror. A chill is a chill
no matter what date you put on it..
Bringing a cold sweat up to date
is a little like trying 10 get a
copyright on a Universal Truth.
All! MUSIC PLEASE
So Wagner decided to find out
what The Phantom of the Opera"
of 25 years ago didn't have. That
was easy. 1t didn't have any
opera, since sound hadn't been
discovered by those ingenious
scientists, the Warner Brothers.
1t also didn't have Technicolor.
So the obvious thing TO do with
the latest thing in PhantomS, was
10 give him color and music
We understand it's a quite a
lavish production, this one coming
to the Fox Friday.
A LYRICAL TRIO
While Claude Rains provides
all the old thriller elements, there
is a lot more opera in it, staged
with expert musical guidance.
For example, the singers, who
were just puppets in the old silent
days. opera singers being like
children were supposed TO be, seen
but not heard, all come to lusty
vocal life in this film version and
quite a crew of them has been
assembled for the various operate
sequences.
For example there's Nelson
Eddy, Susanna Foster and Jane
Farrar heading a whole company
of minor principals, supported by
real operate chorus and a full
orchestra.
A DARK DEED
Eddy, we understand, having
told M-G-M off in his deep bari
tone voice, has even dyed his hair
dark for this Universal one, part
ing from those golden curls which
were for so long the delight of
jeanette Macdonald and about
three million other women.
Susanna Foster, a Paramount
problem child, has matured 10
such an extent that she can take
real vocal lead. The problem,
incidentally with Miss Foster, was
not that she was a naughty girl
and disobeyed the directors.
