e New York Post.— WNU Service. Random Items Make This Gridiron Show Bit More Confusing JUST to make this game of football *-* more confusing: Rio Grande junior college is in Ohio. Dixie college is in Utah. Vir ginia college is in Minnesota, Kan sas has a Pittsburg Teachers’ col lege. There are three Loyolas (Mary land, Louisiana, California). St. Marys exist in the same proportion (California, Texas and Michigan), not to forget Mount St. Mary’s col lege of Dfaryland. There are Xaviers in New Orleans and Cincin nati. lowa has Cornell college and Columbia college to rival the some what better-known institutions in New York state. Purdue in its first seven games plays teams from seven states, meeting Indiana opponents only in its first and last contests. Prince ton meets only one New Jersey foe in eight games with teams from eight states. Yale tops them all off, playing no teams from Connecticut, its home state. Centenary college is playing teams from six states in twelve games, playing in three different states on three successive Saturdays against Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas. Penn State plays five Penn sylvania opponents in eight games. Woodrow Wilsons are becoming a fad. In 1934 the El Paso School of Mines had a W. W. as quarterback and captain. In 1936 Denton Teach ers and Ohio U. had Woodrow Wil sons as players, while Army’s presi dential namesake will be in action again this year. This indicates that about 1952 the gridiron rosters will be filled with names of “Franklin Delano Roose velt,’’ Ginsburgs, Schimmelpfennigs and Bradleys. Pitt appears to have only five alumni in the head coaching ranks, Jock Sutherland at Pitt, Lloyd Jor dan at Amherst, Bill Kern at Car negie Tech, Harvey Harman at Penn and Jack Harding at Miami. Little Springfield of Massachusetts has at least ten graduates coaching college teams, including Carl A. Da vis whose Cortland Teachers col lege (N.

California U. at Berkeley is play ing 11 games this season and play ing the same teams as last year. Bowdoin, Carnegie Tech, Grinnell college and Kansas U. also are play ing the same opponents as in 1936. George Washington has dropped five 1936 foes, including Emory and Henry, Elon, Rice, Davis and Elkins and Catawba. The 1937 Haskell schedule includes seven teams not played last year. Coach Lynn Waldorf of Northwest ern has a junior college namesake, Waldorf J. C. of lowa. “E’s” comprise one half of the Drake coach’s name, Vee Green. Colleges that seem to have sought manly names include: Alfred, New York; Alva, Oklahoma; Arnold, Connecticut; Austin, Texas; Ed mond, Oklahoma; Hiram. Ohio; Lu ther, lowa. Also there is a Howard college in Alabama, a Howard university in Washington, D. C., and Howard Payne in Texas. And for all of this information you can render thanks to a modest Pennsylvania gentleman who dotes upon digging up such data for this department eaeh season.

Carnegie Tech, once a leader In football de-emphasis, has gone back on the big time with a bang. With proper sanction a group of alumni handed out S6OO scholarships for out standing athletic and scholastic abil ity, thereby giving young Coach Bill Kern some chance to compete in the tough Pittsburgh market.

DUST | * jMLovie • Radio $ ★ ★ ★★★By VIRGINIA VALE★★★ WHILE all the important motion-picture producers were trying to interest Ronald Colman in big, serious dramas, he slipped over to the Hal Roach studio and agreed to star in a goofy comedy called “Fan cy Free.” No one else even sus pected that Ronnie wanted to join the parade of serious play ers who have scored in light of ferings. His best friend, Bill Powell, is suspected of selling him the idea. Bill has such fun making comedies, and so do Myrna Loy and Carole Lombard, and the newest recruit, Constance Bennett. I would not be at all surprised if Constance were to play the lead opposite Colman. Now that Bill Powell is wandering around Europe, Myrna Loy is going to stray over to the Twentieth Century- . .. Fox studio to make ] a picture with War- HHQPN9'..,' ner Baxter, her sec- Hg: ond - best leading man. The story is ; “Career in C Ma jor,” and is all about a woman with TJMjpya-; a not-so-good voice ; j™ who is absolutely JhmMß determined to get Warner into grand opera. Baxter Her husband views the whole project with distaste, until he finds that his barber-shop chord barytone is just what the op era scouts have been looking for. Just as soon as a radio performer makes an outstanding hit, the mo tion picture scouts grab him, so now it is Professor Quiz who is go ing to step before the camera. He and James Wailington, the ever popular announcer, are going to be in Columbia Pictures’ “Freshman Follies.’’ The tremendous popularity of “The Prisoner of Zenda” has revived interest in swashbuckling mythical kingdom romances, so Sam Gold wyn has decided it is high time to film “Graustark” again. It has been made twice before, but not in the gorgeous way that Sam will make it. He plans to have Merle Oberon play the beautiful princess and Gary Cooper the American newspaper man who rescues and marries her. Since he subbed for Don Ameche on the Charlie-McCarthy-Nelson Ed dy program, Herbert Marshall is the most-sought-after actor in Holly wood for radio programs. If any sponsor could persuade him and Claudette Colbert to appear regular ly together, the program’s popular ity rating would be sure to start near the top. But just wait until you hear Brian Aherne’s voice in the Warner Brother’s picture, “The Great Garrick.” He is going to give Mr. Marshall some competition. Phil Spitalny is being ribbed by his friends, and all because he ran into difficulties while filming a Para mount short film featuring his Hour of Charm All-Girl orchestra. They all worked hard, finished the film on schedule and went home satisfied that they had done their best. But the studio called up next day to protest that a man’s voice could be heard in the midst of the all-fem inine chorus. Spitalny went to hear the sound-track played, pretty in dignant that their work had been spoiled. Only to find that it was his own voice on the film. Motion-picture fans who have been lamenting because so many of their Hollywood favorites have abandoned the screen for a fling on .r jP the stage can just Hiyp’ stop worrying.

GOOD TASTE |f TODAY * TemilypostA World’* Foremost Authority on Etiquette © Emily Post. Cutting Wedding Cake Calls for Real Skill n EAR Mrs. Post: I was at a very miniature wedding reception recently. In fact, there were only ten persons present. But it was one of the loveliest after-wedding par ties I have ever known. It was late afternoon and almost dark, the dining table was set with a lace cloth and candelabra, there was a small bride’s cake ornamented with the wedding couple’s first names and a bride and groom figurine set on top, and there was champagne to drink the traditional toasts. Unlike all other weddings at which I have been, at this one I sat close enough so that I could watch the wedding cake being cut, and I never be fore realized that this could be such a task. The bride pierced the cake with the point of the blade but when she tried to bring the side of the blade down through the cake, the slice broke into many pieces. One of the guests took the knife then but her luck was just about the same. I have wondered since the wedding whether there was any right way to cut a wedding cake, or is it, as in this case, just a matter of chance? Answer: Of course you don’t tell me whether the cake was not very fresh, or perhaps the knife very dull. In any case, the best way to cut wedding cake is to spear it first and with the knife in this same point down position, continue to stab the slice all the way across. If after the first stab is made, the knife blade is brought down as though it were a lever, the piece invariably crumbles even though the blade is very sharp. * • * Write Note of Thanks to Sympathetic Friends T'\ EAR Mrs. Post: Is it proper to acknowledge notes sent in sym pathy with a thank you card? I be lieve that friends and acquaintances should eventually be thanked by note no matter what the extent of their expressions of sympathy, but my daughter feels that for slighter expressions a printed form could be used. In fact, she thinks that these times, and birthday and anniver sary occasions are the only ones when printed cards of thanks would be suitable. Will you give us your opinion. Answer: In return for a card an other card is suitable. But thanks for a present or a real favor or any thing as serious as a letter of con dolence must be answered by a note or at least a handwritten message. Sympathy shown to a family in deep mourning can be answered with fewest handwritten words on a vis iting card. This limited answer is obviously permitted because of the effort that any longer reply would be to one in sorrow. Moreover, less near members of the family may write in the places of those most nearly concerned. • • • Mourning Husband?s Death r\ EAR Mrs. Post: I have lost my * J husband and will shortly leave to make my home with a sister on the West Coast. (1) I would like to send a written note of resignation to a local club of which I have always been a member and wish you would suggest what I write. (2) Also, will you tell me whether it would be in correct to wear black satin slippers with a black dinner dress while I am wearing mourning? I find it im possible to get suede ones that are comfortable. Answer: (1) You write to the sec retary of the club, wording your note more or less like the follow ing: “Dear Mrs. Green: Owing to the changed circumstances in my life and the uncertainty of my ever returning to XX-town to live, it is with very deep regret that I must ask you to present my resignation at the next meeting of the board of governors. Sincerely, Mary K. Blank.” (2) Black satin is not suit able for mourning but any dull silk would take the place of suede. • • • Birthday Gift Puzzle. FA EAT: Mrs. Post: My sister and I are invited to the birthday party of a neighbor’s son. Mother and this neighbor are dear friends but we hardly know the son. Are we each supposed to take birthday presents to the party? We always take presents to other birthday par ties but in those cases we knew the hostess or host very well. And yet we would hate to arrive at the party the only ones to be empty-handed. VThat do you suggest that we do? Answer: If I were you I would take a trifling present from both of you together—not because it is nec essary, or even customary to take a present to one whom you scarcely know, but because he is the son of your mother’s friend. * • • Teacher on Telephone. p\ EAR Mrs. Post: When a teacher *-■' announces herself on the tele phone, to a student I mean, what is the proper form? Answer: “This is Miss Green” or “This is Mr. Blakely.” WNU Service. Wool Is Going Places , - —, . Jjr 1 i w l : , LADY, lady, lady have you any thing in wool? Smart women everywhere are clamoring for wool. They’re wearing it to work in, to play in, to date in, to go to church in. Yes, wool is going places!

Espe cially does a weightier fabric need slim lines and here you have them pared down to hairline precision. The zipper from throat to hemline gives this frock additional chic, and the far-reaching collar takes care of that all-important need for contrast. French wine, black, duck green, and gendarme blue are the popular colors. Compliment to Youth. Youth and the blouse ’n’ skirt have always gone sporting to gether. That’s a compliment to youth and real flattery for the two piecer above, center. This engag ing combination has a waist-coat ish topper and a simply cut, flar ing skirt. A singular asset is its size range: 14 to 42. And because it is figure flattering every size is benefited. Acetate crepe is lovely for the blouse; velvet or thin wool is smart for the skirt. For a Busy Body. If you’re a busy body or a lady of legion labors, you’ll thank Sew- Your-Own for the charming new frock at the right.
