...goggle fisherman, wearing watertight glasses, a bathing suit and earplugs, dives down into an underwater paradise which is, as Author Gilpatric describes it, half marine science laboratory, half Freudian dream. There, armed with a spear, he harpoons a mullet, merou, moray, ray, octopus, none of which is so suspicious of man underwater as of man out. Besides being better exercise than most fishing, goggle fishing has one further sporting advantage: It exposes the fisherman to some risk of being the victim as well as victor in the game. On one occasion, when a large octopus wrapped itself around Fisherman Gilpatric...
...Fathers (Twentieth Century-Fox). The 45 members of the Spear and Gun Club draw lots to decide which of them is to make a home for Cinemoppet Jane Withers. Jane, chunkily healthful, insufferably precocious, tries to smuggle a chimpanzee into Manhattan, demurs at singing and dancing lessons, straightens out another puppy love life. Redeeming feature: the dancing Hartmans, disguised as The Marvelous McCoys, adding ventriloquism to their repertory...
...Spear fishing is bubbles of fun. One Sunday he donned a glass mask, grasped a slingshot affair with a two-foot spear as the missile, and paddled about the surface.

...make-believe. The principals are trapped in a sandstorm, in a burning thatched village, in a gurgling underground crater which erupts upon their entrance. Majestically pictured is Paul Robeson, scaling peak and precipice, chanting Mighty Mountain-I'm Going to Climb You. For some spirited shield-whacking and spear-hurling filmed in South Africa, Director Robert Stevenson hired 5,000 native Impingi. who were reluctant to act because they thought they were being drafted for a new European war. Good shot: Robeson digging for water in the sand which the parched party gulps in a frenzy...
...Schumacher, row at five and stroke. These three rowed with last year's Varsity while the other three Juniors, P. G. Schultz at bow, J. L. Erickson at two, and G. C. Gullard at three are J. V. veterans. The two '39 representatives are L. P. Spear at seven and F. W. Kittler at four. Spear was a substitute for last year's fresh crew while Kittler, who is the dark horse of this year's Varsity, was unable to make even the third plebe boat. H. A. Rowe '37, is cox. Navy's crew uses a stroke invented...
