...year, should fit into the Varsity picture this pring. He is a steady, fast fielder but has heretofore proved pretty weak at the plate. If he can improve his hitting a place in the infield is waiting for him. Bob Fulton, Freshman catcher and captain, is a flery ball player and a potentially good hitter. He will have to work, however, for Eliot Bacon, Jayvee backstop, seems to be coming fast and by spring may really be in the running. Merrill, Freshman third sacker, is, like Heckel, another smart fielder, but is as yet too weak a batter to became...
Last month in Hollywood RKO Production Head Sam Briskin sent to Warner Brothers' Producer Sam Bischoff an extra player who posed as a financier, went through the motions of making a deal to buy Producer Bischoff's pet electric razor business.

Helen Wills Moody is still an able tennis player as she demonstrated last fortnight when she paired with Germany's Baron Gottfried von Cramm to win the mixed doubles in the Pacific Southwest championship tournament from Mrs. John Van Ryn and Donald Budge.

Outstanding sections are the cellos and basess, the latter with two men of considerable experience; the former with a man who has studied ten years and given several solo appearances. Chief needs still are for a bassoonist who owns an instrument, and for viola players. Considerable versatility is noted among the players; the head of last year's viola section will be transfered to oboe this year, a horn player has shifted to trumpet, and one man volunteered to play either the flute or the tuba...
More significant to football fans than new broadcasting rights, are new rules of the game. Last year there were none. This year there are several, least technical of which is that players must now wear numbers both front and back. Teams this year will not get a second kickoff. If the ball goes out of bounds on the first kick, the receiving team will put it into play either on its 35-yd. line or at the point where it went out. If a player kicks a free ball this season, it will automatically go to the opposing team...
