Handsome Terps End
Plans Singing Career

Tony Scott, star at the
University of Maryland, may
abandon football for a career
in singing.
Coach Tom Nugent was
counting heavily on the hand
some Junior from Newark, N. j.,
but it seems Scott has what
ever it takes to send young
people wherever they get sent
on hearing popular male sing
ers.
Scott begins serious work
on a singing career tomorrow
in the Carlo Menotti Studios
in New York. II all goes well,
Scott will not return to College
Park for early fall practice.
Menotti, one of the top in
strUctors of popular singers,
thinks Scotti will make it.
It think he possesses a very
flne style of singing which I
am sure will develop into a
good sound" is the way Me-
motif puts it. He should know.
His former pupils include Pat
Boone, Bobby DARN, FRANKIE
Avalon and Julius LaRosa.
Promoters here heard Scott
last January and sent him to
Cleveland. Experts there
directed him to Menotti.
Solidly behind him are his
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Scott and his brother, Ben.

second-team .All-America foot
ball end for Virginia Tech,
received the other vote.
West will receive a silver
trophy from the ASSOCIATION
which initiated the award in
1948.
Only two other athletes ever
have won the award twice
Dick Groat of Duke in 1950-52
and Darrell Floyd of Furman,
.1954-56. Both were basketball
All-AmericaS.
Vests second selection was
no surprise. for the Cabin
Greek, w. Va, sharpshooter
ended his basketball career at
West Virginia University in
possession of every significant
scoring record for both a single
season and a career.
His 1959-60 scoring average
of 29.3 points per game, 340
field goals and 51.8 per cent
shooting accuracy all were
West Virginia records, as were
his 258 free throws. He aver
aged 24.8 points per game for

end in football and the New

Nugent excused Scott from
spring practice, but would very
much like to have him back in
the fall.
But it probably won't do
Nugent a bit of good to break
out in that old song: You've
gotta be a football hero to get

Mrs. Virginia Rollwage Col
lier, a leader in cultural or
carnations in Washington,
has resigned from the strife
torn Political Study Club.
Mrs. Collier had held the
important post of hospitality
chairman in the 60-year-old
club which traditionally en-
tertains a roster of distin-
guished guests at its monthly
programs.
Her resignation was the
latest development in a con-
troversy which has been
spreading since mid-Decem-
ber over withdrawal of three
groups-the Political Study,
Women's City and New Era
Clubs-from the District Fed
Grafton Of Women's Clubs.
The dispute is expected to
reach a climax tomorrow at
the federation's executive
board meeting at the Willard
Hotel.
It also has been learned
that Mrs. Huron w. Lawson,
who was serving with Mrs.
Collier as vice chairman Of
hospitality. is resigning from
that post, though she is con-
tinuing her membership in
the group.
'NO Longer Agreeable"
Mrs. Collier said merely
that the atmosphere of the
club is no longer agreeable
to me" in rendering her
resignation to the president,
Mrs. Mccall Henderson lines.
Indignation has been ex-
pressed by some of her as
sociates. however, over the
treatment she received after
the controversy erupted brief
ly at a meeting of the club
a week ago yesterday.
At that time Mrs. Collier
suggested that the president
recognize Mrs. Stuart z.

Connie Francis Talks of Dreams
BY LYDIA LANE
Times-Mirror Syndicate

HOLLYWOOD. - When
Connie Francis name was in
lights at a Hollywood night
club. some of the older gen.
Grafton asked, who is she?"
But the teen-agers know,
for they have bought her
records so ayidly that she
now possesses three gold
ones, and won the national
Cash Box" popularity poll
as female vocalist. And this
is quite an attainment for a
girl who is just 81.
When we met, I wondered
il the same sweet manner
isms she projected at the
mike would be in evidence
face to face. But you aren't
with Connie very long before
you know that her simplicity
is basic and her head hasn't
been turned by success.
When I mentioned it to
Connie, she said. Things
happened so fast that I must
admit I had a slight case of
conceit at first. On one TV
show I had decided to live it
up and 1 had all sorts of
things planned to wear. I
think it must have showed
at home because my father
took me quickly in hand and
we had a long talk.
On Top
He pointed out that peo-
pie who remain on top do so
because they keep the same
personality. You know, Perry
Como and. Bing Crosby are
down-to-earth people. Lose
your simplicity Dad warned,
and you'll lose your audience
It's true, too. ! think this rule
applies to all fields-not Just
show business. If you ad-
vance, the people working
under you have to like you
or you won't be in charge
long"
The talk turned to beauty.
Connie confessed she believed
anyone could make a dream
of beauty come true.
But you get nowhere with
out the dream" she observed.
Il was born in Newark, N. j.
My family are Italians and
they love two things, good
music and good pasta. And
my mother believed in serv-
ing generous portions. I am
under 5 feet and I weighed
14O pounds when I got my
first professional job. But
fortunately I played an ac-
cordian and that covered
most of me.
Il hadn't given a thought
to being fat until I compared
myself with the other profess
sional children on the same
TV show. All the girls were
so conscious of their hair,
their complexions. their
weight. I was IL and very
naive by comparison. If they
had let me alone. 1 would
have reached a decision about
reducing. but people who had
my career in mind began
telling me how fat I was and
this built up a block.
On Being Thin
You don't reduce because
someone has a dream of your
being thin. You have to
have it yourself. I was Stub
born and continued wearing
a size IA dress.
Then I met a boy that I
wanted to impress and I told
myself that I would try diet
ing just for one day and see
what it was like. I knew
what to do to lose weight.
So I had no starches, sweets
or snacks for "a hours. The
next morning I told myself,
Try again. This went on for
so consecutive days.
I was not held to any
promise or plan because each
day was to be my last to
diet. This psychology worked
so we'll with me that I
slimmed down painlessly
without any Illustrations or
setbacks. And" Connie add

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
An Enthusiastic Octogenorion
BY DR.. PETER J. sTElNcRoHN

Nevertheless, old age is
not invariably the enemy
many think it is. I grant that
a sickly old age is certainly
no fun. Neither is loneliness.
But too many live too
much by the calendar. They
actually slow down physically
and emotionally the day after
they reach 40-as if one day
into the next decade makes
so much difference.
There is an antidote, be-
sides good health, for such
periods of depression. Learn
to keep busy. Time and again
I have observed that people
with many outside, absorbing
interests are the ones who
not only have more fun-but
stay healthier and live longer.
Only people with empty
time on their hands say
whats the use of growing
old?"
