Heavy *Coach Calling ’ Season Appears Likely Noyland’s Resignation at Tennessee Causes Regret; Rumors Involve Big Ten Names.

BY JOE WILLIAMS Time* Special Bperl t Writer NEW’ YORK. Dec. 3 —With the football playing season completed, the business of calling coaches becomes the most popular pastime. Some are called harsh names and Invited to terminate their engagements. Others are called to fill their places when such resignations are effected And with the early start made in these matters there is the possibility that anew record in the coach-calling industry will be estab-

lished within the next few weeks. An Army ukase sponsored the first coaching resignation. It "was that of Major R. R. Neyland of Tennessee, and in his case expressions of deep regret rather than bitter complaint were to be heard, for the Army man has done a very' fine job in keeping Tennessee up among the football elect over a period of years Other resgr.ations which have come, or shortly are expected to come, have been or will be accepted with no show of tears. In all or most cases failure—very dismal tryliure in some instances—dictates the attitude of Ibc college involved. The resignations of Bill Ingram at California and of Frank Caridec, at Missouri, which were published

William*

last week, fall in the latter category. Ingram, with as fine a squad of material as there was on the coast, where high quality material is plentiful. was unable to produce a successful team this year and lost the important games of 1933 and 1932, while Carideo again couM win only one

game this season, losing 22 and tying two, while winning only three, in his Ihre® seasons as Missouri's coach. m b m JUST what others, through enforcement or from choice, will end their terms of service with their present charges is a matter that awaits official pronouncement. There is reason to anticipate the resignation at Harvard of Eddie Casey, however, since the Crimson has experienced its worst season. There are rumors that Dr. Edward Anderson will be supplanted at Holy Cross, that Dick Hanley may offer his resignation at Northwestern, that Hunk Anderson may end his service at North Carolina State, that Dr. C. W. (Fat) Spears will terminate his contract at Wisconsin, that Harry Stuhldreher may not continue at Villanova and that several others will seek new fields of labor. Along with these rumors come other interesting reports. One has it that the aforesaid Dick Hanley is in line for an eastern appointment and mentions Rutgers as his next charge. Another names Eddie Casey as a possible successor to Dr. Anderson at Holy Cross. a a m THE fact that Carideo, the two Andersons and Stuhldreher —all Notre Dame products—are included among those whose seasons have fallen far short of expectations and that Fordham, Auburn, Kentucky and other elevens coached by Notre Dame men experienced other than highly successful seasons might be taken as an indication of a retrogression in the system of play sponsored by Knute Rockne. But inasmuch as Alabama, under Frank Thomas, another Rockne pupil, carried through an all-victorious year to win the Rose Bowl invitation, while Santa Clara, Duquesne and several other elevens coached by Rockne proteges were rated among the leaders of their class, indicates continued merit in that particular system of play.

A Dog’s Life By Leon F. Whitney

A DOG'S life, at its best, is lived in the open country. Hunters and lovers of outdoor life may well feel happy over the cessation of the increase in population in America It appears that in a very few years we shall have a stationary population; that is, the birth rate and the death rate will be about

equal. Many of us have been looking ahead with alarm, when we have seen the rapid increase of population crowding our hunting grounds and our playgrounds right out of existence. But w r e shall not have to concern ourselves about

f dflßgjjjkk *

this. The population practically has stopped increasing and there is every evidence that in the future we shall not have to worry about a scarcity of open country where we may take our dogs, roam at will and have a good time. In fact, there is a possibility that the tendency may go the other way so that we may see a diminution in the population and thus more and more open spaces. Who can tell? I for one would not hesitate to gloat over such a possibility because I love to see my wife, my children, my dogs and myself join in having fun in the open country. There is nothing like it. To roam through the woods and fields, to feel that one is in his little kingdom, to exercise and, what is more, will exercise, is worth a great deal to any one. Having been born and reared in the city until I was of college age, having been a farmer for many years, I think I can safely say that I know something about both kinds of life from the standpoint of dogs as well as human beings, and once one has developed sufficient knowledge of the open spaces to be able to live there, one will never want to go back to city life. This is especially is true of the lover of dogs. I think that the real lover of dogs is generally one who likes to do his part to improve the breed of his choice, and the country is the place for that. I’m glad that the prospects indicate that we shall not lose that opportunity. Tomorrow I am going to have something to say about ventilation in the kennel. Do vou have a doe problem?

Pinmen Fete Bryson in First Bowlers’ Roundup’ Initial Banquet Is Huge Success; Speakers Urge Determined Drive for 1936 A. B. C. Tourney. BY BERNARD HARMON The first annual “Bowlers’ Roundup,’’ a testimonial dinner to Robert H. Bryson, former president of the American Bowling Congress and a lifetime member of that organization, was held Saturday night at the Hotel Severin Roof Garden. Nearly two hundred bowling enthusiasts attended the gathering.

Neil C. King, sixth vice-president-of the A. B. C., and local resident, acted as toastmaster and introduced the various speakers of the evening. King said that the “Roundup’’ had been one of his main goals throughout his long career as a bowling booster, and that Saturday night’s turnout was far beyond his expectations. He urged the continuation of the annual -‘roundup’’ as a means of getting the city pastimers better acquainted with each other. Mr. King told of his visit last week to the annual meeting of the New York State Bowling Association at Utica, N. Y. While attending the meeting he gathered much information regarding the Easterners’ attitude toward the awarding of the 1936 A. B. C. tournament to Indianapolis. According to King, New York City has pledged its unqualified support to the Hoosier capital, while Buffalo, Utica and some of the other larger citys also are leaning toward the local site. Judge Pledges Chicago Aid After introducing the committee in charge of the evening’s festivities, Mr. King called upon Judge Howard of Chicago, past president of the A. B. C„ one of bowling s most colorful boosters for the last fifty years, for a few remarks. Mr. Howard, who is in his seventies, received a wonderful ovation, and got a great laugh from those present when he removed his 1 coat before starting tys speech. He remarked that he Could talk all night about the bowling game, but inasmuch as he had to crowd his remarks into a small space of time that he could work faster without his coat. He paid tribute to Mr. Bryson, recalling to the gathering the A. B. C. tournament of 1903, which was hold in Indianapolis through the efforts of Mr. Bryson. Prexy Winslow Speaks Walker Winslow, the newly elected president of the Indianapolis Bowling Association, gave one of his famous “forty-five second” talks, pointing out that the winning of the 1936 event would take the co-operation of the entire citizenry of Indianapolis. Norman Hamilton, City Association secretary for many years, urged the bowlers in attendance to aid in his campaign to make the local association 100 per cent A. B. C. sanctioned, stating that several leagues still were unsanctioned. Mr. Bryson winding up the evening's speeches, received a standing ovation from the asembled tenpin followers. He said that he will long remember Saturday’s testimonial and ui ged that such events be continued by the bowling fraternity in the future. He has been well repaid for his work in keeping the annual A. B. C. in existence, he continued, by seeing it grow with each year’s tournament. The evening's entertainment wound tip with several reels of motion pictures showing various fine points of the ten- *>in game. These pictures were loaned to the local committee by Mr. Baumgarten, and were shown through the courtesy of Harry Pearce, an Indianapolis bowler.

movie that has everything it needs! Melody that makes one want to tap his feet in time; comedy that has been standard and recognized for years. Also present are some of the best-looking singing and dancing girls that the screen has photo- j graphed in many a | year. Each time that Cantor brings

Eddie Cantor

a flock of women to the screen, he seems to find all new beautiful faces. Here is an audience picture that is really there. Cantor has endeared himself to millions by his radio work and this picture will increase that love and respect. This time Eddie has a good story and the comedy punches have been placed naturally and intelligently. The photography is grand and so is the recording. Mr. Cantor’s first singing number when he directs a band composed of children is one of the highlights of the picture to me. In this song he premises the children an ice cream factory when his ship comes in. When his ship does come in. Eddie buys the factory and the final scenes of this movie are done in color on a big screen. Take time to watch the careful character work of Burton Churchhill as Colonel Larrabee and the straight comedy work of Warren Hymer as Louie the Lug. You will do yourself an injustice if you miss this one. Now at Loew’s Palace.

He has done-this bit in various forms many times, but it is just as funny in “It’s a Gift” as it was when first produced. As far as the cast is concerned, aji you have to know is that Fields is the star. He does enough of the regular Fields’ comedy to justify your future trust in him.

Lyric stage bill, in an act of song bits from shows in which they have been cast, which is more spectacilar and dramatic than musical. Their best number is the novel arrangement of Rachmaninoff's Prelude In C Sharp Minor.” Engagi. the “ape marl” of Hollywood, Ls seen in a melodramatic scene from “Murder at Midnight.” which is supposed to be a cutting from a motion picture. The “beast” drags the screaming heroine from the stage in true horror play fashion as a finale to the act. Don Galvan is heard in a rather poor act of singing and banjo and guitar playing, which is brightened only by a little spontaneous comedy; Dalton and Craig entertain well in their brother and sister act of comedy; Walzer and Dyer do not click so well in their duo act of dance and song, and the Three Xings and Queen are excellently adept in an act of aerial antics on small trapezes. The picture on view this week is “I Am a Thief,” starring Mary Astor and Ricardo Cortez in a story which concerns the stealing, restealing and recovery by secret police of certain Kareninias diamonds in and about Paris. The pictuif falls far short of being completely entertainment but has spots of good acting and comedy. Now at the Lyric. (By J. W. TANARUS.).

Civic Goes Over Top

BY JOHN W. THOMPSON Fine characterization, swift moving action and splendid settings marked the opening of "Riddle Me This,” at the Playhouse Saturdaynight, as the Civic Theater cast presented the play under the direction of Frederick Burleigh. “Riddle Me This” is the most pleasantly entertaining play I have seen at the Civic in the last five years. In the first place, the play, a mystery-comedy, is much more suited to the talents of the Civic group than some of the more heavily dramatic pieces. And secondly, the cast of “Riddle Me This,” as selected by Mr. Burleigh, is almost “bullet-proof.” The play, written by Daniel Rubin, begins with the murder of Mrs. Ruth Tmdal (Georgette Spelvin) by her husband, a prominent psychiatrist, Dr. Ernest Tindal (Norman Green.) The audience doesn’t see the actual crime, for the play starts just as Dr. Tindal rises from the floor w-here his wife is lying. From that point on it is a battle, for the most part one-sided, between police, headed by McKinley, Sidney Sanner, the press, represented by Kirk, a reporter (Robert Hanikai and Dr. Tindal, who perpetrates an almost perfect alibi. Dr. Tindal’s story involves a certain Frank Marsh who, it develops, has hacl an affair with Mrs. Tindal. Marsh become so completely enmeshed in the chain of circumstantial evidence that he is sentenced to die for the crime. But in the interim, Kirk has fallen for Marsh's sister, Vera (Dorothy Thomas) and it is he who finally brings out the truth about the crime. Mr. Hanika gave one of the best performances of his Civic career. It was marred only by the fact that he

Mr. Sanner, a newcomer to Civic ranks, was top-notch as the chief of detectives. His action was w-ell handled, his lines spoken with fine expression and in good voice. Mr. Green, playing his twentythird role in Civic productions, was well suited for the Dr. Tindal part and gave the most polished performance. A great hand should go to Frances Wescott for her splendid portrayal of Mrs. Alvin, the cook in the Tindal household. Others who were outstanding in their parts were Henry Jacobs, Carl Radcliff, Stanley Joseph and Phyllis Byron. The lines of the play are unusually witty and natural. The action and business is never stereotyped. The back stage company is to be congratulated for the settings, the well appointed properties and the “living” quality of the performance. Mr. Burleigh has shown that when there is something to direct he can direct it. The play will continue at the Playhouse, with performances tonight, tomorrow night and will close Wednesday night. Now' at the Civic.
