UTS THE FOOT QUINTET (Continued from Paae 1.) lamette . regulars stayed intact, that defense was all but impreg nable. First Half Ends Wifh Score 20-8 Finally, when Willamette was ahead 16 to , Keenan of Oregon succeeded in looping the basket at long range. With 15 seconds left in the first half after time out, Willamette execated two plays from center and Scales scored both times to make the half time score 20 to 8. Meanwhile Coach Billy Rein hart of Oregon, had benched Eberhart, center, when he proved totally unable to stop Cardinal, and in the second half Reinhart kept sending in fresh men in an attempt to alter the state of af fairs, all tos no avail, although Hughes and Rubenstein, shortly before the game ended, scored on desperate long shots to put the 3LVbfoots back in the race. At Ee time they were only six points behind. Previously the score had been 24 to 8, and it looked .like a runaway rather than a, basketball game. Oregon Catches Willamette Off Gaard Hereral Times - Willamette used the delayed of fense at intervals in the closing minutes and the desperately fight ing Webfoots several times caught the Bearcats off their guard. Twice Referee Coleman gave Ore gon the ball out of bounds when Willamette was entitled to it. and both times the Webfoots scored. i Jest before; the game ended, the Bearcats" scored twice to boost their lead up to ten points.

Nancy Carrol and Jack Oakle are fast climbing to the top of screen popularity judging by the measure screen folk use for popu larity namely the mail box. Of course box office receipts count, too. but if their mail is heavy it is to be expected that folk will go to see them when they play in the home town of each. Here is a little note about Nan cy. 'Honey" has been selected as the definite title for the musical filmization of "Come Out of the Kitchen," Alice Duer Miller's stage success, it is announced at the Paramount studios. Nancy Carroll is being starred in "Hon ey." Stanley Smith who played opposite Miss Carroll in "Swee tie," has been cast in the roman tic male lead.

The motion picture star system extends even to Hollywood's ani mal actors. Among the film animals are stars, featsred players, character actors, comedians and extras. They are selected for their rarious roles with the same care that hu man players are chosen. At Paramount's west coast stu dios this work is done by the ani mal casting section of the proper ty department More than S00 animals of all kinds are listed in this unique casting office, according to their acting abilities. The animal players are far more caste-conscious than the humans. Stars are distinctly "uppish" to ward featured actors and positive ly refuse to hare anything to do with extras except under Orders. . For instance, Heechee is a can ine luminary appearing in ''Slight ly Scarlet," which co-stars Evelyn Brent and Clive Brook. She is a pedigreed Pekingese and the daughter of Cnuty, another dog star. For certain scenes of the pic ture, four canine extras were em ployed. One was a daschund, one a poodle, another a bulldog and me zourtn was plain doe. The ex tras vlsied amiably between scenes but Heechee remained majestical ly aloof, meeting all friendly ad vances with bored dignty.

Prime Minister MacDonald's in timation that he would favor a holiday of live or six years served to reeall the American naval viewpoint that such a holiday would give the British superiority in. this category, since the Ameri can vessels are older than the British and that extension of the life of present battleships would keep older vessels .in the Ameri can service than those of the British. The question ot 12-inch guns is considered largely to be depend ent upon the size of battleships decided upon. The British desire to abolish submarines or reduce them to a minimum is favored by the United States. .Fully prepared to present Amer ican naval needs at the confer ence, the American delegation will land on British soil tomorrow confident that the coming parley farther the sea armament limita tions begun at Washington In 19Z1.
