But Whatever, He Has No Money Worries

By JOE WILLIAMS Times Special Writer

" NEW YORK, Oct. 14. —Putting one little word after another and whatever became of that. distinguished sportsman, Mr. Boo Boo Hoff? The Let’s-Get-Pond’s-Scalp Society was receiving members 4oday following Yale's 50-to-7 defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania. No Yale team ever took a worse shellacking and no Penn team ever had a more pleasant work out. ' Oscar Vitt may hook up with the Oakland Club in the Pacific Coast Teague next season. Actually he doesn’t have to worry whether he Works or not. For the past three years at Cleveland he was one of the highest paid managers in the game. Besides his substantial salary, he got a cut of the gate. That's the main reason he didn’t walk out on the cry babies when they first went whimpering to the front office. Dough came before pride.

Back stage whispers have it that Rilly Evans’ resignation as head of the Red Sox farm system was influenced by Manager Joe Cronin. It Is significant that 10 days before Evans went through the formality of resigning Owner Tom Yawkey signed him for another year, upping his salary $5000 and giving him 10 per cent in the Louisville club.

Columbia and Penn any part of a gentle touch. The Buckeyes’ defeat by Northwestern takes some of the edge off the Ithaca game but it can’t affect the attendance. The game has been sold out for weeks. Incidentally, the Buckeyes don’t seem to have what it takes this year. They just beat Purdue and the Boilermakers were easy for Michigan State Saturday. From the dispatches it does not appear that the celebrated Don Scott was a blown-in-the-bottle terror. As a matter of fact none of the Buckeyes was. The Northwestern defense was so tight, Raz-~zle-Dazzle Schmidt's athletes gained only six yards by rushing. George Maag accounted for their only points, a field goal.

ARMY-CIVILIAN CONTACT NAMED FOR GHAPLAINS

Dr. Dwight Mood Moody Chosen For Job by Churches of Christ in America.

The defense program has caused a long-talked-of religious need to be satisfied. >

Chaplains at Ft. Harrison and in the armed forces all over the country now are to have a civilian counselor who will serve as a contact between them and the Protestant churches and who might be called an ‘“interdenominational bishop.” The counselor, or liaison officer, announced this week by the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in: America and the General Committee on Army and Navy Chaplains, is Dr. Paul Dwight Moody. Dr. Moody is the president of Middlebury College, son of the famous evangelist Dwight Moody, and was the first: associate of Bishop Charles H. Brent, chief of chaplains in the A. E. F.

Holds Army Rank

Dr. Moody is also a chaplain in the Massachusetts National Guard where he holds the rank of Lieutenant Colonel and senior chaplain of the 26th Division.

The Roman Catholic Church solved its problem .of a head for chaplains last year by making the Rt. Rev. John F. O’Hara auxiliary bishop of the army and navy. Bishop O’Hara is an Indianapolis man and former Notre Dame University president. - Chaplain Ralph W. Rogers, post and 5th Division chaplain at Ft. Harrison, is giving intensive training to seven new reserve chaplains who have come from all over the United States. None of the seven is from Indiana. It is required, Chaplain Rogers says, that all chaplains in the reserve corps be between the ages of 24 and 42, possess A. B. and Th. B. degrees or their equivalents, be actively engaged in the ministry as the principal occupation in their lives and have had three years’ ministerial experience.

Covers Wide Range

Among the duties in which the chaplains are being instructed are ‘to help in times of homesickness, assist men to write letters home, and to indicate in every way that the chaplain is not only a spiritual adviser but a friend.” Chaplains must be prepared to “hold private consultations and give .talks on guidance, morals, orientation, Americanism and ethics.” # # % / Disciples of Christ chaplains are not affiliated with the Chaplaincy Commission of the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America, Dr. James A. Crain of Indianapolis, secretary of social education and social action for Disciples, said today. They have their own association formed after the International Convention of the. Disciples of Christ voted to withdraw from the Federal General Commission in 1926.

BLIND BUT. WRITES BUTTERFLY FANTASY,

SEATTLE, Wash., Oct. 14 U. EF —in Marion Anderson's world of

With her prize money, Miss Anderson contemplates purchase of a cello, for her interests also extend to music.
