DURHAM PROTESTS
MCK0Y ELIGIBILITY

Durham High school through its
principle, C E. Cooke today filed
protest with the North Carolina
High School Athletic association ON
Hanover basketball star by the local
school.
A committee of five from the
executive committee Of the NCSAA
will hear the protest in Chapel Hill
this evening, it was announced last
night by New Hanover school Of
ficials after communicating with
NCHSAA spokesman.
The Durham protest hinges, said
NCHSAA secretary c. E. Mc1n-
tosh in a letter to Hamilton, on
whether McKoy ought to have
played in any conference games
before the close of the fall term,
Jan. %, even though McKoy had
on Jan. II when his eligibility
blank was mailed to Chapel Hill,
been in attendance more than the
go per cent required by the state
association and had received pass.
ing grades on a normal load OF
work (three subjects).
T. T. Hamilton, principal of New
Hanover High school told the Star
last night, eve have acted in good
faith and have followed all proce-
dures of the North Carolina High
School Athletic association. We
were not trying ''to put something
over on the NCHSA because if
we had we surely would not have
directed attention to McKoy by
placing telephone call on his
status the night of the game"
Hamilton said that the following
New Hanover representative will
attend the hearing in Chapel Hill
today: Supt. H. M. Roland, Coach
Leon Brogden and himself.
The Durham protest is believed
to have been prompted by Lee
Stone, of Raleigh's Caps. Stone
was quoted last week by a Ra
leigh newspaper as saying that he
was planning to protest the use o.
McKoy.

BY GAYLE TALBOT

NEW YORK, Feb. 4-(P)-It was
with sadness that the golfing world
learned today of the passing OF
Long Islands Fresh Meadow
course, during its comparatively
short history, the scene OF some
of the greatest and coolest events
in the annals of golf.
The course, one of the nation
real championship layouts - as
contrasted with the park" cours-
es over which the boys turn in
their mira culous 62s and 63s-has
been sold to a development com
pany and will sprout soon with
homes and attached garages.
The twisting, rough-bound fair
ways which Gene Sarazen toured
in a Notwithstanding &c on his
final round to win the 1882 Nation
al open also was host to the pre-
war Goodall round-robin tourna-
ment. And Tommy Armour beat
out Sarazen on the 36th green of
the 1880 P. G. A. championship
there.
However, in any obituary of the
famous course, the event which
must always stand out was the big
charity match in 1887, in which
John Mysterious Montague, the
new Paul Bunyan from the west
coast, attempted to play around
with Babe Ruth, Babe Didrikson
and Mrs. Sylvania Annenberg.
That was day. Bet--een those
who wanted to see if Mysterious
Monty really could break par with
rake and shovel, and those who
just wanted to see the famous
Babes, some 10000 persons de-
scended upon Fresh Meadow, anc
what they made of the front nine
was shambles. Luckily for the
back nine, it was necessary to hal
the utterly mad event after eighr
holes.
Although the crowd never quite
sensed the necessity for getting Of
the greens onto which the players
were attempting to shoot, the thing
did go far enough for a few quail
fled observers to see that Monta
que was not going to revolution
ize the game even with regular
golf clubs. He dropped from sigh
within a few years.
Sarazens 1888 open victory over
Fresh Meadow will for long time
be ranked with the most stirring
finishes in golf. He started with
a pair of 75s and appeared to be
we'll out of the contention. Then
with the q holes remaining to b.

He shot those final % holes il
exactly 100 strokes, a feat tina
might never be equalled in ma
jor competition over champion
ship course His 70-66 for the las
two rounds gave him a winning
aggregate of 286, a three stroke
lead over the field.
$ Fresh Meadow is the second ma
jor course on Long Island to give
up the ghost. Lido, one of the SUI
preme examples of the golf archi
tect's art, was taken over by the

HANOVER CACERS
FACE BULLDOGS
THSAFTERN00N
''Crackerbox" Durh a m
GYM Gives Host Team
Slight Advantage
BY GENE WARREN
Star Sports Writer

Enthusiasm ran high here today
as Coach Leon Brodgen and his
undefeated Wildcats made final
preparations to travel to Durham
where the game of the season.
is slated to be fought on the Bull
dogs floor. The Cats will leave
town this morning at 900, and
the contest will start at $3.50 in the
afternoon.
Brodgen expects to carry at least
10 cagers, including both his assis-
tants, Tom and Jap Davis, to Dur
ham. but they are not the only
Wilmingtonians making the jour-
ney. T. T. Hamilton, principle of
New Hanover High school, and H.
M. Roland, superintendent of the
schools in New Hanover county,
are expected to lead the many
students, who are getting permits
sion to attend the all-important
game.
Thus from all preliminary in
formation the auditorium at Dur
ham High will be packed to the
brim, and if Hanoverians beat the
Bulldogs they will have to do 1t
before the entire Durham student
body.
Both clubs have plenty at stake
in tonight's tilt. If Wilmington
loses, their perfect record is broken
while the Bulls are out to retain
their boast of not losing game
on their home court in seven years.
Here is a few comments made
by notable people at High school
concerning the Wilmington Dur
ham fracas.
Coach Tom Davis says briefly,
1T will be good game"
To this Wallace West, Junior
Varsity mentor, replies, This is
one season, when Durham gets beat
on their home grounds.
Leon Brodgen, the main charac-
ter in the picture, remains silent,
permitting the others to express
their views.
AS for the boys themselves, who
are the only ones, who will actually
tell the difference, they just want
to get to Durham, win the tussle,
and come back home.
Luke Collie, Tody Fennell, and
W. A. Brown worked on their ball
handling, while the five's two lead
ing scorers, Johnny McKoy ano
Billy Lee, worked on their long
shots. McKoy sports an average

Coach Paul Sykes Of Durham
expects to send Captain Whit Cobb

guards, big R. L. Mcdonald ane
King at forwards, and Bill Stokes
at center. This five has been drilled
well in team play, and following
the Wilson upset, are believed
ready to play the hardest and bes
they know how.

Norman Panama and Melvin
Frank are credited with the story
and screenplay of Road to Utopia. .
clearly the easiest job any two film
writer's have had in years.
In its casual, indifferent, or off,
the-cuf way, the Earle's comedy
has to do with couple of char
acters who could not be mistaken
for any one but Crosby and Hope.
They are living by their wits-and
a couple of styles which suggest wit
where it actually is non-existent-
in San Francisco when the picture
opens. Probably to get away from
all that sand and sun in their pic
lures on Morocco, Zanzibar, and
Singapore, they 60 this time to Alas
ka, an Utopian sort of place because
it has a 100000 gold mine of
which they have got wind-and the
map.
That's the plot, all of it. The
other IS minutes of the picture is
composed of dialogue and situation
gags. At such times as the principals
need breather, Miss Lamour-in a
parka instead of a sarong-fills in
with a song. She has the pictures
most popular ditty. Personality" :"
**
The exchanges between Crosby
and Hope are the topical sort of
thing which they handy about with
such easy glibness. After Hope has
referred to Crosby as a cheese
salesman" in tribute to the latter's
radio sponsor, they get on to pas
sage about Crosby fascination over
horses. When Newfoundland dog
attaches itself to them, Crosby urges
1t to go away. Probably eats like a
horse" he observes. You ought to
know" says Hope.
The boys are stylists, who can
weave their own material when that
is necessary.-J. G.
Hopes radio sponsor also gets
his flash of recognition when Hope
observes that he can ride a dogsled
mo hands," "And no teeth" says
Crosby. "Un hunh, my sponsor" {"
Hope retorts, again making it seem
much funnier than it has any right
to seem.
AS forecast of its boxoffice popu-
larity Road to Utopia" is the best
named picture Paramount has turn
ed out since the last Crosby Hope
production.

when Mr.. Coburn is around batting
his traps with what he thinks is his
charm, it takes on the appearance
of quaint slapstick. This is most
happily the case in the broadly
played second assault upon the
fidelity of Mistress Ford in which
his gigantic stomach is the lady's
greatest bulwark against having to
kiss him. That's merry interval
indeed, and another almost as
laughable is that in which Sir John
diagnoses his humiliation at being
tossed into the Thames in a huge
basket Of dirty Ford linen.
On such occasions as Sir John is
absent from the stage, which are
relatively few, 1.-The Merry Wives
of Windsor" invariably takes on the
face Of unalloyed boredom.
Well, not quite invariably, either.
Miss Lands has rather a gay mo-
ment in the second act, when she
goes through that solo rehearsal of
the love scene she is later to play
with Sir John reducing him to the
humiliation of having to escape
in the fat maids clothes. Sir John,
himself, does nothing better than
that.

the better bits In 1.-THE Merry

subtlety for something more chal-
longing that Sir Johns wayward
hunch that he was a hellion with
the women.
If you have forgotten how it goes
but with no deep sense that that
makes you an oaf, the two women
Sir John chose of the Windsor
eligibles were Mistress Ford and
Mistress Page. They not only were
the top wives of the community in
charm and virtue, but were not above
having spot of sport in proving to
the old roue that he should have
stayed in the pub drinking sack
Mistress Ford, incidentally, also
used the occasion of Sir Johns hap
less suit to demonstrate to her hus-
band that she not only was faith
full but that he was a fool.
This is not much, to be sure, but

able spectacle of senile delinquency,
but not even he will convince the
hard-boiled heretics that Shakes
peare did not write B script now
and then. Windsor's wenches look
more musty than lusty, which sends
you out into the night feeling that
some one has peddled you a classic
in a tie-in sale.
The Guild, of course, is innocent
of such intent but to achieve its
purpose of making you love Shakes
peare-as you should, you incono-
clast-it will have to watch those
comedies. 1t is hard to shake that
classroom fragrance out of their
pages regardless of the zeal with
which the task is approached. The
Guilds zeal is virtually matchless,
to be sure, but '"The Merry Wives
Of Windsor" is highly resistant ma
terial. Even for cast which, in
addition to Mr.. Coburn, includes
Jessie Royce Lands, Gina Malo,
Romney Brent, Lionel Ince and
others who have facile Elizabethan
way with them.

1t was a sure sense of comedy

Road to Utopia Also Gay
With Crosby and Hope tests

Those glibly amusing fellows. Bing
Crosby and Bob Hope, CAB and
swing their way through another of
those zany musicals in Road to
Utopia" which bobbed up rather
suddenly yesterday at the Earle. AS
a team, with Dorothy Lamour al
ways handy for a spot of rowdy ro-
nance, they still are prepared to
knock the spots off any competition
among the cinema's laugh makers.
Even at those intervals in which
they have virtually nothing to work
with, of which there are a number
in their latest frolic, their skylarking
has an infectious gaiety which
reaches out to include the audience.
Their way of making the audience
party to their antics actually has
never been quite so adroit as in Road
to Utopia" a trick that could make
it the most popular of the four
road" pictures starring Crosby and
Hope.
1t seems to have been highly in
telllgent OF the producers of the
latest Crosby Hope comedy to leave
matters almost entirely in the hands
OF the boys themselves. The effect
is that the picture is being ad libbed,
improvised before the very eyes and
ears of the audience. There's an
episode, for instance, in which the
stars are acting as stokers on a
coastal steamer bound for Alaska.
While they are resting on their
shovels, an impeccably dressed, top
hated character walks through.
Hope looks at him in CONSERVATION
and asks: Are you in this picture?"
NO" says the well dressed one, I'm
just taking a short cut to Stage TO-"
Even if it took 20 rehearsals and
an equal number of takes" to get
the thing right, it looks entirely ad
libbed, and contributes to the feeling
that all the movies trade secrets
are being given away by Crosby and
his long -noSed playmate.
