hide of Wallace Wade . . . Because Wade remembers the unkind things that were said when he brought his first Alabama team out here to play in # the Pasadena flower pot . . . The critics of that day thought Alabama would be murdered and leave the state in a trunk and you remember what happened. Johnny Montague, who not so * many months ago 'was being hailed as the greatest golfer who ever lined up a putt, sails tomorrow on the Matson line for Japan . . . Monty is off on an exhibition tour that wil Itake him half way around the world, and with him is his celebrated rake, baseball bat. and shovel ... A much quieter, serious man now. Montague plans to play | himself into condition for next year's big American golf events . . . Don’t be surprised if he returns to this country as a major factor in pro golf, because the man who used to be “mysterious” can play the game. What is this I hear about President Hutchings of the University of Chicago advocating an admission price of ten cents for Chicago's football games? . . . The general opinion is that Mr. Hutchins will . have to improve the brand of foot- ' ball played by the Maroons before : he can get that sort of price ... I There is a feeling in this area that Notre Dame will lay it on U. S. C. j without mercy Saturday in an es- , fore to make the Rose Bowl, which , is an affair the Irish will have no part of, unimportant in the reckoning of the national champions. The biggest break the telegraph companies have had since the In- , ventiom of Mother's Day was the refusal of U. S. C. to ask T. C. U. to the Rose Bowl . . . Because Amon Carter, mister for worth, himself.x has sent wires of indignation to nine-tenths of the literate citizens of the United States ... Os course, being illiterate, I didn't get one, I don't know whether Tmon sent them collect or prepaid . . . Tennessee lost its chance for Rose Bowl consideration by having one too many games on its regular schedule . . . The Vols still have to dispose of Ole Miss, and the boys out here couldn't afford to take the chance of them being beaten. Now that Don Budge has turned professional. Gene Mako probably probably will form a doubles combine with Hack Tidball, who is in the midst of a terrific comeback . . . Tidball's comeback would have to be terrific, because everything he does is terrific ... He is the “terrible tempered Mr. Bangs” of tennis, but he can really play it when he sets his mind to it.

FEAR ABDUCTED GIRL IS SLAIN 18 - Year - Old Maryland Girl Kidnaped Near Washington Oxon Hill. Md., Dec. I—<U.R> — The father of kidnaped Mary Brown went personally to offices o' the federal bureau of investigation today to seek aid of the G-m°n in the hunt for his abducted 18-year old daughter.

Brown, a government employe ! in the national capital, asked aid of G-men in hunting down the men who forced her into a truck last night on the outskirts of i Washington. While Brown sought aid of the federal government, volunteer firemen. CCC boys and neighbors formed a posse to search the neighborhood where the dark-eyed i convent-bred girl was abducted. The hunt on the scene was led I by a score of Maryland state po- . 'ice. hurried here by Gov. Harry Mice of Maryland after an appeal i from Brown The state police I were under command of Capt. I Edward Mck Johnson. Lucy Brown. 15-year-old sister of Mary who escaped the abductors by tleeing across fields, provided officers with their first tangible clue. 1 Accompanied by Baltimore detectives and Maryland state police. she returned to the muddy road seven miles from downtown Washington where her sister was abducted last night. The officers located tire tracks at the spot where Mary struggled with the two men. At the side of the road, stale police found a man’s footprint, which f hey believed is that of one of the kidnapers. A plaster impression of the footprint was made tor use if suspects are located. Brown went to the department of justice after returning from an early morning survey of the abduction scene. Accompanied by Lucy and police, he carefully went over the scene where the daughter was forced into the truck. Then, after returning home with his daughter, he left immediately for the FBI.
