In order lo keep the freshmen in trim and coming, Coach Romney engaged Coach Richard "Dick" Thorn, a former B. Y. TJ. center of outstanding quality.

Coach G. bttingei' Romney has surrounded himself with some capable and clean young men who will look after the athletic needs of the students. Coach Was Great, Athlete Coach G. Ott, himself, is one of the most colorful coaches In the entire en-tire United States. Coach Romney was an unusual athlete during his own college days when he won practically every athletic honor offered of-fered by two great institutions. He was an outstanding quarterback, a great tennis player, a good baseball man, a star in basketball, and a point winner in track. While earning all-conference positions in several sports, he was editing papers and yearbooks and making unusually high grades in his class work. In the absence of Chic Hart, he has as his general assistant and athletic manager this year Fred "Buck" Dixon, who was all-conference material both in basketball and football, and who extended his shadow far beyond the conference, twist and the result is the most human hu-man air story ever filmed. "The portrayal of thd little group trying to get back to the base is the most vivid and dramatic presentation pres-entation of man's struggle with nature na-ture that has been filmed in many a day. One of the reasons why 'Dirigible' is different is because of the realistic showing of the home life and of the trials of an explorer's explor-er's family. It's well worth anyone's any-one's time." Many other organizations and private citizens have given "Dirigible" "Dirig-ible" wholehearted endorsement. Among these are: General Federation Federa-tion of Women's clubs, International Internation-al Federation of Women's clubs. Young Men's Christian association. Forest fires in this country have evoked terror and wonderment, but few can offer the majestic grandeur, grand-eur, the drama, the abject terror among wild animals that can be found when the African jungle catches on fire. Wynant D. Hubbard, who filmed "Adventures in Africa," the Vita-phone Vita-phone short subject series of twelve 2-reel episodes, one of which has been booked into the Rivoli theater for next Thursday and Friday, caught such a jungle and veldt fire in "Jungle Flames," the seventh issue of the series.
