HELEN! 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

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

stroke.
The awlmmer said she had a couple
of "pet" swimming suits, but the 1
story of her wearing her old black !

broad smile. I

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.

Hack Wilson as a member of the
Cubs, is an even bigger source of un
happiness to htm than It was last

A checkup revealed that In 33 times
at bat this season on his old stamp
ing ground, the Hacker had made just
two singles, one of them a scratch,
for the heart-breaking meager average
of .060.
