In addition to the contest this Sat- urday with Colorado College, five games remain on the Army's schedule for 1931—Louisiana State at West Point | November 7, Pittsburgh at Pittsburgh November 14, Ursinus at West Point November 21, Notre Dame at New York November 28 and Navy at New York December 12. The latter game will be_played for charity. In deciding to play out the schedule the Army goes contrary to a precedent set 22 years ago when Cadet Eugene Byrne of Buffalo was fatally hurt in & a foot ball game with Harvard. The remainder of that vears foot ball schedule was canceled. The Cadets played only at West Point in those days, however, and the canceling of the remaining games upset no such commitments as are involved at the present time. Body Is Returned. The body of Cadet Sheridan was re- turned here today to find a last resting place with some of America's most dis- tinguished soldlers. The 21-year-old Army foot ball star and honor student died in New Haven Hospital of & broken neck suffered late in_the Yale game. Funeral services will be held in the Catholic Chapel tomorrow afternoon at 4 o'clock. Burial will follow in the West Point Military Cemetery. where are buried Gen. Winfield Scott, Gen. George Custer, Gen, Robert C. Anderson, Who was in command of Fort Sumter in '61; Gen. George W. Goethals, builder of the Panama Canal. and many an- other famous military figure of the past. At the request of Sheridan’s mother services both at the chapel and ceme- tery will be private. The corps of cadets and officers of the post will attend. ‘Widespread reaction, expected after the death of a player on so prominent a team, especially in view of so much recent discussion and agitation about over-emphasis of the game, failed to materialize as expressions of regret poured in from various sources. Yale and Harvard foot ball officials and players hastened to express sym- pathy and the Notre Dame foot ball squad requested that a special mass be said in the universily chapel today. Work Qutstanding. Sheridan, whose 149 pounds made him the lightest man on the Army juad, was a varsity end from the start of the present season and his work had been outstanding in the Cadet's early es. Last season, the first in which was eligible for the varsity, he worked his way from the scrubs to a starting flosl in several games. After his graduation from Augusts (Ga.) Junior College, where he was president of his class, treasurer of the student council, lieutenant colonel in the coll cadet corps and member of the varsity foot ball and basket ball teams, Sheridan joined the Regular Army and was assigned for duty to Fort Benning, Ga. Later he went to Fort McPherson, Ga. receiving his West Point appointment in 1929 One of the most popular students st the Point he was president of his class. the second year men.

He had about as much spunk as any one I ever met, and I think that's what enabled him to cling to life so long after his neck was broken." Sheridan was admitted to the Mili- tary Academy on July 1. 1920, after more than & vear at McPherson. He played foot ball and lacrosse from the first, but did not make the varsity team in either sport until this year. President of Class. About a month ago Sheridan was elected president of his class, an un- usual distinction for a man entering West Point as he did. He was not there through s congressional appointment but because he fought for the privilege of becoming a cadet with the same de- termination with which he battled for life after he was injured Sheridan worked his way into Military Academy from the Army, in which he enlisted several years ago. It Wwas because of his work as an ordinary soldier that he was sent to McPherson. His ambition was to become a Cavalry officer. He was elected class president by only four votes, defeating Ken Fields, 2lso a foot ball star. Hurt in Harvard Game.

He, too, attended McPherson as an en. listed man prior to receiving his ap- pointment. Sheridan's home was in Augusta, Ga.

L.| Rothafel (Roxy), returning home from | an inspection of European radio and theater life, said today the plans for Radio City far surpassed anything he had seen abroad. The director of theatrical productions | for the Rockefeller enterprise said the | experience gleaned on the tour would not materially alter his entertainment ideas but would broaden their purpose | —for “Radio City must be international in scope.’ “We had a cordial reception every where,” he continued, “and great in- terest was aroused in the Radio City plan.

Even the Moscow Art Theater’s production of Tolstoy's “Resur- rection” was animated by Communist ideas, which, in Roxy's opinion, de- stroyed its value. “We made friends everywhere in Mos- cow,” he said, “and were invited openly | to express our thoughts.

He gave the historical back- ground of the situation which now pre- valls there, involving the possibility of war between Japan and China. These conditions, he showed, arcse from the results of the war between China and later between Japan and Russia, by slons and certain leased territories. Illustrations were shown, mainly in reproduction of photographs taken by Mr. Lyon in the course of his visit. | These depicted the agricultural deveiop- | ment in Manchuria and also scenes of the great migration from China into Manchuria, which, until the disturb- ances of the past two years, has been adding upward of a million annually to the population. up against men much | SINLE CURRENEY FOR WORLD SEEN King Says “Genuine” League of Nations Could Control Bank of Issue.
