Gambling Costly.
G. WIS willingness to gamble
against the favored Blue Devils
was costly. Interceptions led to
three of Dukes first four touch

a G. w. tumble. The Colonials
produced one of their less inspir-

has won six of eight contests.
Walt Savage checked Dukes

Colonials promptly took to the

Pennsylvania, bottling up
Army's great quarterback, Arnold
Galiffa, twice came within bare
yards of additional touchdowns.
The vast throng of $4,000 that
jammed Franklin Field stayed to
the bitter end of the cold. gloomy
day. Feelings ran SO high on the
final play that the Army and
Penn teams almost started free
for-all. Coaches and officials
broke up the battle before it got
too serious.
Penn Was Underdog.
Pennsylvania, expected to lose
by three touchdowns to the Ma
tion's Number 2 team, scored first
on a 78-yard drive in the second
period with Bob Deuber smashing
yard for the touchdown. Herb
Agocs, the big Penn end who
played a mighty defensive game,
kicked for the extra point, but his
boot was far wide and this proved
to be the deciding factor.
Army struck back Immediately
with a 64-yard march with Jim
Cain carrying over from the S.

The victory was the seventh OF

35th since the last Notre Dame

Calculated to lose by at least
80 points and playing without

The inadvisability of joining a
woman out of your past for a
short toast to old times Is DEM
onstrated at the Capitol in an af-
fair titled take One False Step"
The woman may turn up missing
suddenly, leaving nothing behind
but a bloody scarf which can be
traced to you and then where
will you be? You will be right
where William Powell is in "Take
One False STEP"
Mr.. Powell, of course, has years
of cinema training in the sort OF
activity required to cope with
such a crisis. He is sleuthing in
an old, familiar groove in Take
One False STEP" though the col
lege professor he plays is not af-
f1icted with the Nick Charles cutes.
Mr.. Powell, as he probably has
known all along, is a lot funnier
when he isn't so cute it hurts.
The story provided by Chester
Erskine (who also produced and
directed the f1lm) and Irwin Shaw
from a novel by Irwin and David
Shaw is fairly routine as mystery
melodramas go. It casts Mr..
Powell as a proper professor try
ing to get a strait-laced Million
aire to underwrite university.
A blond who has admired the
shine of his brass when he was
chicken colonel comes back into
his life against his will, then dis
appears. If the professor wants
his university. he has to find her
or find out what happened to her
before the law catches up with
him.
Shelley Winters, Marsha Hunt
and Dorothy Hart give Mr.. Pow
ell as attractive support as a man
could ask, though the screenplay
places no great demands on their
acting talents. Handy comedy re-
lief is provided by Felix Bressart,
Sheldon Leonard and James Glea-
son, the latter two as a fine pair
Of laconic men from homicide.
Producer-Director- Writer Ersk-
inc has managed a fairly expert
blend of action and comedy as
Mr.. Powell goes through the rough
routine Of extricating his good
name from sinister surroundings.
He hasn't made an epic. but his
picture is easy to take and won't
diminish your enjoyment of the
cooling system.

Lust for Gold" the new screen
feature at the Warner tells you
where there is a $20,000,00O gold
cache that you can have for the
finding. Naturally, it does not
tell you the exact spot, merely that
it is near the peak of Superstition
mountain in Arizona.
After telling you this much. the
picture dares you to get on your
motorcycle or in your jeep and
head southwest. This it does by
showing you what happened to
Glenn Ford, William Holden, Ida
Lupino, Gig Young and some
others. One by one these def1ed
the Apache gods who guard the
gold, and what happened to them
should not happen to any one ex-
cept Glenn Ford, William Holden,
Ida Lupino and Gig Young.

that gambling is woman's greatest
sin, hers to show him conclusively
that he is missing life's greatest
excitement.
Such is their eloquence, plus
the power of love, that she ends
up hating the gaming table, he
unable to keep away from the
nearest one.
| Robert Siodmak, who directed
1.-The Great Sinner" is another
man who knows that the most
exciting stretches of gambling
pictures are those photographed
around roulette and cafd tables.
He shows you how a moral writer
like Peck can sit down in a rou-
lette game and run a 1,000-franc
note into 235, 900 francs. This sum
is enough to pay his girls debt to
the suave character who runs the
casino.
After the excitement of this
sequence, Siodmak works the trick
again, this time in reverse. At a
nearby card table. a few hours
later, Peck loses not merely the
235, 900 francs. but also bets away
the royalty rights to all the books
he has written and those he will
write.
Not long afterward, just before
the picture reaches its climax,
Miss Barrymore come onto the
scene in her Empress's wheelchair
and the picture is in for its real
betting spree. In her COS, and dy-
ing, Miss Barrymore takes on an
Indian Prince and they bet what
amounts to kingdoms.
