PONDERS ENTRY MOVING PICTURE CAREER By Irva Fewell Pushing .back the big fox collar on her dark green traveling suit, Jerk ing the narrow brim of her black felt hat a little further down over her right eye. Miss Helene Madison, the world's swimming queen, arched her high narrow eyebrows a bit high er, and sighed as she mentioned It would bu another day before she reached Seattle, home, and a two weeks' vacation. She stopped over at the Med ford municipal airport a short time yesterday afternoon. With her lips painted a brilliant cerise, and her sun-burned hair in tiny curls on the back of her neck. Miss Madison did not appear as an athlete who had stayed around swim ming pools enough In the past three years to win fid American records and IS world titles. XUare are only six or seven American records she has not acquired (because she haa not entered competition for them), and all of the world swimming records for women are listed under her name. . MIm Madison remained In Portland last night with her aunt, Mrs. W. O. Peters, and oontlnued to Seattle this afternoon in order that she might please the "home town" by alighting from the airplane at 4:10, the time set for .her big welcome and recep tion. Seattle la to Lonor tht tall 30-year-old girl by making her queen of Fleet Week, and will present the mermaid with a new automobile for her record breaking feats at . the Olympics, Having spent three days at the William Randolph Hearst ranch at San Simeon, Oal., following the games, Miss Helene haa beeen spending all her time In hot Angeles since then. She will return there following her vacation In Seattle, she said. By tthat time she expects to have ' her mind made up whether or not to accept a movie contract tendered her. Mlsa Eleanor Holm, her swimming partner on the American team, has accepted. Miss Madison said yester day. I Besides swimming, Mlsa Madison la Interested In art, especially water color, sketching, the human figure and landscape work. She does not plan to enter the University of Wash ington In Seattle, but If she con tinues her education will Attend an art school In California. She gradu ated from high school a year ago last June. 'After entering numerous swim ming oonteata at lakes near Seattle, Miss Madison became winner In all the events, and later took Instruc tions from Eay Daughters, who la now her trainer and manager. She usee the flutter kick, six beats to a stroke. The awlmmer said she had a couple of "pet" swimming suits, but the 1 story of her wearing her old black ! silk suit with, the regulation attire, she dismissed with a denial and a broad smile. I She proclaimed It "untrue" that I she sped up and down te Seattle Eskimos Return From Ghost Ship POINT BARROW, Alaska, Aug. 30. (AP) Carried 80 miles from shore on grinding and crushing ice, a party of 2B Enktmo men were safe ashore today after four days on the Ice pack, on a trip to the abandoned fur trd , er, the Baychlmo. hills In her roadster, because she hasn't a roadster any more, but a coupe. Billy See man of New York, a pas senger on the plane en route to Se attle from Los Angelea, said he waa of no consquence. but Just bought chewing gum and "cokes'; for the water star. SPEARS BRINGS OPTIMISM TO BADGER GRID FANS MADISON, Wis. (AP) University of Wisconsin football partisans are extraordinarily optimistic V-ls year, yet they don't expect the Badger eleven to be above the average. The cause of this paradox Is Dr. Clarence W. Spears, Wisconsin's new grid coach, who is expected to pro duos a fighting if not victorious eleven this fall. Coach Spears declines to label his prospects ss more than "Just ordi nary," but since his arrival from the University of Oregon hot-stove league discussions indicate the entire state Is behind him regardless of the Bad gers' standing In the final conference rating. Long before he came to Wiscon sin, Badger fans learned to respect Bpears' teams. Prom 1936 to 1839 his Minnesota teams defeated the Bad gers four times and were defeated once. The 1938 Gophers ruined Wis consin's chances for a Big Ten cham pionship and on this record Wiscon sin bases Its football optimism. Althouh "Doc" has not promised a winning team, he has msde clear bis Intention to have a team of men who like to play football. He has put all candidates on their own and those not enthusiastic about the game won't be In the line up, he says. In the face of this policy one of the largest squads that ever turned out at Wisconsin greeted him for spring prsctloe, and an even larger turnout Is expected when fall prac tice begins. "Doc" will have about 13 lettermen for the nucleus of his 1933 Badger machine, and, on their form displayed last spring, several sophomores are expected to carry most of the work. Two of Wisconsin's eight games this fall are classed as naturals. In tense rivalry between Marquette and Wisconsin will start the season here October 1, while the Minnesota Wisconsin game November 13 Is ex pected to be a classic because of Dr. Spears' relationship with the Go phers in the past. FIELD JINX CHICAGO, Aug. 36, (AP) Wrlg ley field, scene of the rise and fall of Hack Wilson as a member of the Cubs, is an even bigger source of un happiness to htm than It was last season.
