Jack Holt plays fthe part of | the father—a college athietic coach |who expects his son to fulfill his |ambitions for him, regardless of how poorly the boy is equipped for the role. Richard .Cramwell Igives a portrait of a oy @fraid |tto take punishment and afraid |to admit it tecause it will brand |him a coward and kill his fath- |m—'s pride in hdm. Crux of Situation The crux of the entire situation is the fact that “Ungcle” Dudley, as the students of 'Wesfern Uni- versity have affectionately dubbed their coach, in his enthusiasm for his work, has lost sight of the | fact that his son demands that he |be more than a coach. The boy needs a human, understanding fa- ther who will sympathize with hs frailties, as well as glory in has physical prowress. { Even after the boy konfesses to his father his inability to take punishment he is forced to com- pete. Failing woefully his father | brands him publicly a guitter and {a coward.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 10.—Lou Moore, who makes automobile rae- ing look easy by the debonair man- ner in which he slips into turns at 120 miles, an hour, is the first of the pilots to arrive at the Indianapolis speedway for the 500-mile drive May 30. The Californian is done with last minute preparation, he says, and wants to be ready for the time trials in plenty of time ithis year. He came a year ago and loafed al- most until race day before accept- ing a pilot’s job. The result was that the car was not as ready as he would have liked #.
