PAID TRIBUTE Campai Openea Today amfor ghr/llillion Dollars for Memorial NEW YORK, Nov. 5. — Notre Dame men in many parts of the nation gathered today to pay tri- bute to Knute Rockne and' open the campaign for one million dol- lars to build a permanent memor- ial to him on the Notre Dame campus. A nationwide radio hook-up link- ed the meetings together as out- rtanding speakers at the various tised as a ‘“great lover” and then| finds life is nothing but compli-! cations in which too many pretty | women and a jealous husband fig- § ure largely and hilariously. Many Hilarious Interludes Hilarious interludes include a| riot in a fashionable hotel when the jealous husband starts shooting; a “murder mystery” in which Keaton is found in a room with/ the inert body of another man’s) wife; a race between a tiny road-| ster and a train; and a number of love scenes in which the comed! tries his hand at displaying “it.” Keaton is ably abetted by a large group of supporting players. Charlotte Greenwood, elongated comedienne, is Polly, the character she portrayed in the originalstage version; Reginald Denny reveals his skill as a farceur in the role of Jeff, the fellow who press-agents Buster as a Lotharic, and Clff| Edwards gets his usual quota of| laughs as a bellhop. Many Beautiful Girls Pretty girls galore grace production. Dorothy OChristy plays the blonde vamp who finally wins Buster's love and in the courtship| that follows precipitates the opi- sodes which give rise to the amus- ing complications.

Faced With Vital Problem Faced with this very vital prob- lem, will human consideration for another being, even an enemy who is sworn to deliver him to a mis- ‘taken justice, triumph over con- cern for personal safety?

It may not be far distant. It will not be accom- panied by any blame of publicity. It will be a natural but at the same timeé a necessary readjustment. “It is based altogether on the viewpoint of those conducting the game. Colleges who put the pre- mium on winning teams, tutored by professional coaches who must ‘win to achieve success, will be compelled pretty largely to play among themselves. “I do not attach any stigma to this class. At the same time, other colleges, anxious to keep the sport on a strictly amateur basis under coaches who will be faculty asso- clates, will likewise stick together.” “Will it lead to an Eastern con- ference?” we inquired. “Possibly,” was the reply. “This idea has already been discussed. It is favored by many. In sports such as baseball and basketball, Eastern leagues already have been successfully operated.” The basic members of any east- ern grouping or conference in foot- ball likely would be Yale, Harvard, Cornell, Princeton, Pennsylvania, Columbia, and Dartmouth. So far Harvard is the only one of these ‘universities in opposition to league or conference competition, as a matter of policy. Ccast Grid Probe Looms From the Pacific Coast confer- ence come rumblings of internal conditions ' that may mean an up- heaval along the big slope before the football season is over. ‘The experts out there feel that something more than social con- tacts will emerge from the secre- tive operations of Jonathan Butler, a gentleman from the middle west who has has inquisitorial powers bestowed upon him by faculty con- ference powers in the Pacific Coast conference. They link the visits of Butler to the University of Oregon with the | disbarment of Joe Lilllard, the | “Midnight Express” of the Oregon backfield, on charges of profession- alism. “Mr. Butler,” writes Pat Frayne in the S8an Prancisco Call-Bulletin, “is proceeding se¢retly to put the |light of all other football institu- tions, and may bring out a lot of startling disclosures before he is through. “The induction of good football players from various parts of the country in certgin institutions will come under thk investigation. “The old habit of giving privi- leges to star football players for their gridiron services, such as campus near-beer concessions, park ing concessions, and one hour work day as a garage mechanic and the | positions as clerks of various alumi owned business houses, is another basis of inquiry.” |The Pack Bays i It may be just so much rumor | fresh trail. Nevertheless the im-; petus seems to have been furnished | for a general house-cleaning about | the far western gridiron premises. It has peen brewing for some | time. The Carnegie Report, on the Pacific coast as elsewhere, shocked many leaders by its revelations. For lo, a number of seasons, the California “Big Three” have tossed charges back and forth, having to do with recruiting and subsidizing Quite sensibly, tne situation seems | to have prompted concerted action and a desire to have all the cards put on the table for purposes of | consideration by the conference as ‘a whole.
