FINDS WAR POETRY
SHORTER HAIRED

NEW ORLEANS-LR)-An asso'
ciate professor of English at Tu-
lane University believes the poetry
of World War II is less long-halred
Than anv other war poetry in his
tory.
I'm fact" said DR.. Guy A. Card,
well. "some of it is downright
bald. Modern poets find the wal
tragic necessity, rather than e
glamorous good"
Cardwell, who has devoted
healthy hunk of his lifetime tt
the analysis of poetry, its trends
and the people who produce 1t
is especially impressed with thu
current rise of military poets
although" he said, "the excel
lence of the poet seems to var.
in inverse ratio to his rank"
These soldier poets, he said
punch straight from the shoulde
with their verse Blood is blood
not the wine OF patriotism. Dealt
is death and spade is a spade
and stink is a stink. He point
out that most of the country
slick magazines are catering nov
to soldier poets.
WARS have always been tn
choicest subject of poets" Caro-
we'll observed. "But until recent

normal poet could take: war /

owner of the rival Washington
Redskins, made his unscheduled

financial brass knuckles. Not that
Marshall shouldn't have been
punished in some way for his
brazen actions, although as far as
we know he broke no rule. But
$500 is, well, it's $500.
We think Layden over-estimated
the Importance of the incident. He
gave as his reason for the penal
ties the opinion that both Marshall
and Brizzolara were guilty of con.
duct mot reciprocal of public
confidence and that blanket
statement would cover some of the
games played in the pro league
the past season. Not that the
games weren't strictly on the up

still find some fans who look on
them with a fish eye.

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 7. -[P)- Adj
ulator swept to victory today over
- competitors in the $4,000 added
Inaugural handicap at Hialeah Park
where an opening day throng OF
1908 witnessed the start of so
days of winter racing here today
and poured a golden flood through
the betting windows. An opening
GAY betting record of $685., 758 was
established.
The smooth-running Woolford
farms horse, ridden by Ted At
kinson fought a nip and tuck bat
tie to the stretch with Roman Sox,
which finished second, and Har-
ward Square, the show horse.
Adulator paid S7.40, $4.7o and
$40. Roman Sox gave hackers
$500 and $3.50, while Harvard
Square paid s6.40.
The field ran in a pack along
the backstretch and was well
punched at the turn. Signator, CO.
ertry with Adulator, pressed hard
behind the leaders and finished
fourth.
Todays crowd was below the
1851 that attended the opening
day of 1912, the last year Hlaleah
operated. The mutuels handled
then was 1854, TAO, and the figure
vas surpassed after six races TO-
day.
Track officials got an indication
of the betting volume when S29,-
44O was wagered on today's daily
double, compared with $19,98O on
the opening day of 1912.
The gay crowd displayed fash
ions ranging from shirt sleeves 10
fur coats. either extreme beng
comfortable in the brisk air and

initial conference game of the sea-

BELFAST-P)-The U. S. Ar

REDS TO EXPLAIN
POINTS TO FANS

CINCINNATI, Jan. 7.-tR-Gen-
eral Manager Warren G.. Giles OF
Cincinnati's Reds will put Crosley
Fields public address system to
work this year as a means of ex-
planning to fans all the fine points
of baseball as they develop in the
teams home games.
The idea, said Giles, should
bring the game little closer to
those who pay the freight and
make less commonplace the plight
of many fans who. puzzled by a
given play or situation, either
must ask the guy next to them -
who may be in equal ignorance
or depend upon later checks with
the "expertings" of sport writer's.
All unusual decisions and rule
interpretations by the umpires will
be reported in detail although,
said Giles, Sin no sense will we
attempt running commentary or
description such as might be Civ
en- in a radio broadcast"
Giles disclosed also that Mana.
ger Bill McKechnie will issue a
weekly written summary of games
played - for newspaper publica.
ton.
Described as definitely not ar
alibi column" the feature is ex
pected to give McKechnie q
means of setting down still more
fine points of the game than those
explained over the PA. system
'For instance" said Giles, che
will be able to tell the fans just
why he used certain pitcher or
a given day, why pinch-hittel
wasn't used; why, instead of or
deing bunt, he set the signals
for the hit-and-run. And if he
makes mistake, he'll say So"

Barn Dance Has
Gala Chicago Premiere
BY CHARLES GENTRY

CHICAGO, Ill, Oct. 1--we
took off our shoes and climbed up
into the hay loft of this slightly
Windy city's Eighth Street The
alter Saturday night to witness a
broadcast and the world premiere
of The National Barn Dance"
Well. we haven't had such fun
since the night the pigs ate UP
Uncle Zeke. II was a Hollywood
hoe-down with straw in its hair
and stars in the audience.
Besides all the regular bucolic
bunch who appear regularly on
the radio show there was the
added attraction of Robert Bench
ley. a pastoral figure from the
fields of the New Yorker.
How Benchley went in for corn
is a long story which you will
have to wait until the picture
opens here TO learn.
Nevertheless. there this misun-
derstood Sophisticate was up to
his Bonded knees in celebrities
and country characters.
We asked him, after he'd gotten
the hay out of his hair. how he
liked the country. He told us that
he liked any country that had
more liquor than citizens and
went right back to the bar TO
prove it.
The only thing dry about
Benchley is his wit. so we went
over TO find out what hick
critic could find out from some
radio hill-bilies.
We must admit we were slightly
outclasSed.
The Dining Sisters, who make
UP the melodious trio in the ma
tional Saturday night broadcast,
were just as charming as they are
on the air, but we couldn't recog-
nize them for the Mainbocher
gowns and silver fox wraps.

June Haver as The Dolly Sis

girl inGIrish Eyes Are Smiling"
you viii Know she will team nicely
with Betty who, of course, need
not worry about competition, for
there's only one Cradle. She's a
big enough person to give her APP
proval to the Haver girl for a role
of equal Importance to hers.
This story should be fascinat-

no one who knows more about

he still has a tremendous fol-
lowing.
The name Of Harold Lloyd
stands for something among the
fans and always will. for he is
one of the few people who has
never been unkindly criticized,
nor had one whisper Of scandal
against him. Jim Andrews, who
signed Harold. deserves a vote Of
thanks. Now if we can only get
