Speaking of Mr.. Behrman and his
sophistication, which results in some
of the finest ironically humorous
writing in the American theater, 1t
may come as news to you to know
that he does not pick it up on the
night-club front where New Yorks
smart set meets. Mr.. Behrman dis
likes night clubs and the ilk.
There is story that this aversion
to such haunts once worried his
friends so much that they talked
him into going to couple of the
fancieSt joints on Fifty-second
street, places that have a photogra-
pher for every customer.
At the first one, the story goes,
Mr.. Behrman looked around the
beautifully dressed room and the
beautifully dressed diners and
drinkers. He let his. eye fall on
George Jean Nathan, Tallulah
Bankhead and William Saroyan.
(Mr. Saroyan writes about Willie's
waterfront saloon, but he does not
hang out there.)
Having had that much experience
with night life, Mr.. Behrman de-
cided he might see what it was like
at another popular place. Silently

3 o'clock this afternoon an eight

five points.
Luckily the building had been
vacated last week by the radio
repair shop that had occupied it,
and only the building itself, owned
by L. A. Tomlinson, was damaged.
The deer evidently was wounded
by the crash through the door as
blood was spattered with the glass
on the floor inside. Instead of
coming out through the door, the
nervous animal crashed the plate
glass window and headed on down
Mangum street in a mad rush,
ripping through a fence at a near
by residence.
He was sighted again about an
hour later two blocks away near
the corner of Roxboro and Dowd
streets. Police who were called at
4:30, gave up the search at 5
o'clock.
Police officers supposed the deer
had come from the Camp Butner

RAMS INSURE DRY
FIELD WITH STRAW

CLEVELAND, Dec. 12-P)-The
Cleveland Rams and the Washing
ton Redskins will battle for the
National Football League champi-
onship on a dry field Sunday, but
to assure the firm footing the Ram
management virtually cornered tie
Ohio straw market.
Looking forward to the Rams
first title tilt, General Manage
Chile Walsh determined to protect
the Lakefront Stadium gridiron, not
only from possible snow but also
from frost. A tarpaulin can keep
a field dry, but it won't stop a
field from freezing. The answer
was straw mattress.
Today the stadium gridiron is
hidden under five inches of snow,
but under the cover is triple
protection of paper, straw and tar
paulin.
Chile and Business Manager Bill
John learned that the straw to get,
if possible, was something called
slew grass, 1ong-bladed and found
in swamps, near duck marshes. It's
wonderful stuff but Chile wasn't
able to buy any and had to settle
for wheat straw.
He bought 5000 bales, which is
900, 900 pounds, at SIG per ton. That
adds up to $7,2o0-which amt hay,
either.
Most of the straw came from
around Elyria, o. The farmers, be-
cause of the muddy condition of
the fields, used mud sleds to haul
it to the highways after cutting.
There it was baled. Then Chile's
agent went around collecting it
and hauling it to the stadium.
Before piling the straw on the
field, Walsh had to buy a lot of
heavy paper to spread underneath
the bales.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-P)- II
will be odd to see the Cincinnati
club play baseball without Frank
Mccormick on first base. For dur
ing the seven or eight years we
have been watching the Reds the
big guy has been out there doing a
thorough, workmanlike job.
There is nothing fancy about
him. In fact, when he reported to
the Beckley, W. Va, club for his
first pro job back in 1884 there
was some doubt that he ever would
be a ball player. Beckley for a
time seemed to be a sort of juno
ton stop to change engines for
players on their way to the Reds.
We've forgotten just how many
Reds with a Beckley background
were on the championship teams
of 1899 and 40, but believe there
were seven or eight.
Anyway, Mccormick was some
thing of a big. cub bear in those
days, with feet going in several
directions simultaneously and a
general awkwardness that made
him a menace to traffic around
first base.
He could hit long, and often.
however, and his fielding gradual
ly improved, although it wasn't
until four years later that he went
up with the Reds to stick. His con-
sistent hitting was a major factor
in carrying the Reds to two pen
nants, as well as being about the
only loud noise in the years when
the Red offense was only a whis-
per.
He's only 80 now and should have
four or five good years ahead Of
him as he always has taken ex-
cellent care Of himself and is prac-
tically indestructable.

Forest Colleges Gator bowl-bound
Deacons, received a pat on the
back today from a special COM
mittee which had been appointed
by trustees Of the college in Nov

situation at the school.
After an all-day session here,

dictate that there should be any
change in the football staff"
A. Y. Arledge Of Raleigh, chair
man Of the committee, announced
the finding and, in his statement,
said, "the committee concluded
that the coaching situation is salts
factory under the administration
Of Coach D. c Walker and in its
report will recommend that Mr..
Walker be continued as head foot
ball coach"
Arledge disclosed that some
opposition to Walker had developed
among the alumni, and at con-
vention meeting in November the
special committee was named to
probe the matter. Other members
of the committee are DR.. Ralph
H. Herring Of Winston-Salem, Sen
ator Irving e. Carlyle of Winston
Salem, the Rev. J. B. Willis Of

not present today.
The report is to be submitted at
once to the executive committee
of the board of trustees, Arledge
said.
Walker has been coaching the
Deacon football team since 1897.
He came to Wake Forest from Elon

1927 to 1887. and he coached at
Atlantic Christian College in 1926.
