Wallace Beery and Clark Gable are co-starred in “Hell Divers,” an air picture made with the co-op eration of the U. S. Navy. The picture presents a magnificent pan orama of the eagles of the fleet, with a dramatic romance that adds heart interest to the best air sen sations to be given on the screen. The cast is one of the mightiest to be combined in a picture: Wallace Beery, Clark Gable, Conrad Nagel, Dorothy Jordan, Marjorie Ram- beau, Cliff Edwards, Marie Pre- vost, John Miljan, and many oth ers of screen fame. The picture is a very early release. “Get-Rich-Quick Wallingford,” is another typical William Haines picture, in which he develops many easy money schemes that threaten to get him into trouble. Ernest Tor rence as “Blackie.” supplies ano ther trained crook character for the picture. It is very cleverly done. Edmund Lowe in another thriller, “The Spider,” in which he is a fam ous magician, gives a typically good performance. A murder fys- tery runs through the picture, which is spiced with psuedo-science and trances. The funniest characters on the screen promise to make you laugh in “Manhattan on Parade,” a Broadway comedy hit, with Smith and Dale of the Avon Comedy Fodr,Winnie Lightner, Charles But- terworth, and a cast of 200 beau tiful Hollywood girls. You’ll en joy this as one of the best comedies you have ever seen. “Two Kinds of Women,” is based on the play “This is New York, written by Robert Sherwood, for mer editor of Life. It is a good story of women, New York, painted to be very wicked, blackmail, mur der, and romance, with Miriam Hopkins, Phillips Holmes, Stuart Erwin, and Irving Pichel, no long er a villian. Laurel and Hardy ap pear in a good comedy “Help-Mat- “Suicide Fleet” is a thriller with William Boyd and Jimmy Gleason. The story is one of the war time navy, and has some good action scenes. Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, an addded feature, Scen es and Pogeantry in the British Isles will be shown at the Assembly Hall. Coming to the campus Thursday is Channing Pollock’s “The House Beautiful,” which promises to be one of the best plays brought here. It is sponsored by the Campus Theatre Club. The play is direct from New York, with an all-New York cast, featuring Ethel Intro- pidi and John Griggs. The show opens at 8 p. m., at the Assembly Hall. Tickets are 75tf, $1.00, and $1.50. The support and attendance of students and campus residents is urged, that the club may be able to continue to bring notable pro ductions to the college. SWIMMING— (Continued from Page 1) Girls, gags, sights, color, lights, legs, Laughs, Laffs! B’way never before saw such a sight! With those 2 Lunatics of Laffs SMITH and DALE (of the Avon Comedy Four) and Winnie Lightner, Chas. Butterworth, Dickey Moore, Bobby Watson ganized this year under the direc tion of R. M. Smith. The candidat es who are showing well for the polo team are: J. E. Moeller, Lar- chement, N. Y.; C. J. Charske, Dallas; R. C. Jorgensen, Galves ton; R. R. Osburn, Fort Sam Hous- Iton; Robert Brinsmade, Mexico City; E. N. Jones, C. K. Swanson, and G. H. Samuals, all of San An tonio; E. T. Knotts, Texarkana; and G. W. Shephard, Beaumont. Although there is only one in ter-collegiate meet on the schedule, the team will go against several strong clubs which are expected to j offer good competition. Among those already on the schedule are a meet with the Houston Y.M.C.A.; Gulf Coast meet at Galveston; a polo game with the Dallas Ath letic Club, and a meet for the Freshman swimmers with Allen Academy. Coaches Smith and Suggs stated that it was not too late for new members to come out for the team and that anyone who has aspira tions of becoming a swimmer should come to the Y.M.C.A. swim ming pool any afternoon after four o’clock. FOOTBALL— (Continued from Page 1) Led by the brilliant Beckem, freshman halfback who scampered over, around, and through the op position almost at will throughout the game, the First Artillerymen displayed class which is likely to prove devastating to the title hopes of several aspiring members in the present grid race. With Hardy and Lightfoot clear ing the path Beckem was a con stant threat all afternoon. Al though the Second Artillerymen were glaringly weak at the tackle posts, one guard position was well cared for by “Rosy” Sulak, whose play on both offensive and defen sive left little to be desired. Infantry Tie Failing to capitalize on their “golden” opportunities to cross the other’s touchdown stripe, both In fantry elevens showed a lack of scoring punch and the game re sulted in a tie. What appeared to be the decid ing factor in the hotly contested af fair, when “Peter” Ellis, First Bat- tallion lineman, recovered a fum ble on the Second Battalion’s fif teen yard line, almost proved the former’s undoing a few seconds lat er when McLean, Second Infantry end, broke through to intercept an attempted lateral pass and raced sixty five yards before being over taken from behind. “Frog” Martin, First Infantry halfback made the tackle. Twice during the game Weller, First Infantry quarter, at tempted to score by way of a field goal. Both trys went wide of the bar. Martin and Puckett took the iau- reals for the First Battalion while Oscar Billimek was the mainstay for the Second’s. TEAM STANDINGS Team W. L. Pet.

So tight is the fight that two of the first ten places, second and fifth, are claimed by more than one unit, the latter having three members tied for the position.

F. Yanney, Wooster College astronomer. The Leonid meteoric stream, be lieved residue of a comet, is to find the Earth in its midst this year. There will be two eclipses of the moon, on March 22 and September 14, almost total. Then there will be an annular eclipse of the moon March 7 and a total eclipse of the sun on August 31, which will be visible all over the United States.

Bert Smith, Prop. r i ffl H But the telephone conversation must not freeze A sudden cold snap might seriously inter fere with long distance telephone service were it not for the studies made by Bell System engineers. They found that temperature variations within 24 hours may make a ten-thousandfold difference in the amount of electrical energy transmitted over a New York-Chicago cable circuit! On such long circuits initial energy is normally maintained by repeaters or ampli fiers, installed at regular intervals. So the engineers devised a regulator—operated by weather conditions—which automatically con trols these repeaters, keeping current always at exactly the right strength for proper voice transmission. This example is typical of the interesting problems that go to make up telephone work. BELL SYSTEM A NA Tlo N .wiDB system of inter.connecting telephones
