Warner, who resigned at Temple | University, is an advisory coach at San Jose State College in Califor- nia, but Dobie and Sutherland are missing from the pigskin scene. Fred Swan, an assistant, took over the reins at Temple. Pop, who began coaching at Georgia away back in 1895 and then moved to Towa State, Cornell, Car- ' lisle, Pittsburgh, Stanford and Tem- ple, found the duties of a major col- | lege coach too strenuous for an old man. He yearned for the milder California climate, too, and for a| chance to try out some of his grid- iron theories in a league where the | competition isn't so fierce that a| single error may spell disaster. | “Gloomy Gil” Gone Dobie, the “Gloomy Gill" who pro- duced some of the best teams the nation has ever seen, quit at Boston College. Frank Leahy, a former Fordham assistant, succeeded him. Dobie’s coaching trail had carried him to the University of Washing- | ton, Navy, and Cornell before he took over at Boston several years | | ago. | Trouble had been brewing for sev- | | eral seasons at Pittsburgh where | there wasn't any too much harmony | among athletic staff officals.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal., Sept, 20.—First they build it, then they tear it down, or burn it up. That’s what they did up in Idaho some 7,000 feet up—for the destruction of the St. Francis settle- ment in “Northwest Passage.” M-G-M was spending $21,000 a day up there, for nearly seven weeks. It gives you an idea that maybe this color film .about Major Robert Rogers (Spencer Tracy) and his great band of Rangers will be slightly colossal. Everybody at Metro will give you the idea, even !f you don't get it otherwise. g One of the big scenes shows the “bridge of hands" by which the Rangers crossed a turbulent, rapid-like river. They did it up in Idaho, but for a close-up or two the boys—Tracy, Walter Brennan, Boy Young, and the rest—had to do it again in the studio “tank,” where technical genius and hundreds of thousands of gallons of water combined to duplicate the rush of the tear- ing, swirling current. Next day Tracy was ill, but Ole Gran'pa Brennan was on hand —store teeth in mouth, whiskers flourishing, hair wild—to avow and declare that of all the locations he in his 15 years or so of movie-making had attended, this trek to Idaho was the biggest, best, and worst. “A lot of folks,” averred Walter, “might think a location is all beer and skittles, and that the actor’s life is soft. I'm here to go on record that we worked, and plenty.

A fellow couldn’t tell one minute to the next when he'd be over his head. I found myself holes to step in plenty of times, and so did the others. We were always dunking ourselves. And did you ever try to work at 7,000 feet, when you could hardly breathe? Well, it's an experience, “The burning of St. Francis by the Indians—we had 'em from all the reservations around—was something to see. - All those buildings soaked with gasoline, all wired to electric switches to time the burning right, and going up in flames. It's great stuff in color. And the scenery we've got, the clouds. . . . Well, T better not talk about it, ‘cause I remember telling all my friends about a picture T was in, what a colossal movie it was going to be, and then I saw the preview and spent the next two weeks apologizing.” Seriously, it doesn’t look as if Brennan, will have to “apolo- gize” for anything he says on this one. King Vidor is making it, with Norman Foster as associate director, and the talk is that Tracy has another of those Tracy performances wrapped up. Also, there's Bob Young, surprising a lot of people by his work as Longdon Towne (the role of Bob Taylor, probably to his regret by now, turned down). And Brennan, of course—who'll go from this straight into the role of Grandpa in “Grapes of Wrath.” For Bob Young, if he's as good as his fellow actors insist he is, “Northwest Passage” should be the passage he's been looking for, these several years, into the bigger things of Hollywood.
