(By Latln-op .Mitchell) Forrest James, first baseman on the Auburn baseball team which played here Tuesday, is an example of what an athlete can do as a movie star. He played the leading role in Karl Brown’s "Stark Love,” filmed in the Smokie Mountains of North Carolina. The picture was shown here last fall and quite a number of people will remember it. With the exception of Helen Mundy, the female lead. Mr. James was the only person in the picture not a na tive of the Carolina mountains. It was during a baseball trip in the spring of 19 26 when the Au burn team played the Vanderbilt Commodores in Nashville, Tennes see, that Karl Brown saw Mr. James while he was eating dinner at one of the hotels. He asked him to have some tests made and these resulted in his getting the lead in the pic ture. Ebb James, the twin brother of Forrest, is the catcher on the Au burn team and played here also in the game Tuesday. There is such a striking resemblance between the two boys that it is very hard to tell them apart. The director was almost unable to tell the two apart but chose Forrest as the one who was most likely to screen well. The picture was a unique attempt to portray the lives of the mountain eers on the screen without the use of lights or stage settings and the picture was hailed everywhere as a success. It was filmed under the greatest difficulties and was all done for the sake of realism. There was a .great deal said about Mr. James’ being an ignorant moun taineer boy who ran away from the director and was opposed to “play acting.” This was all for the sake of publicity. Motion picture maga zines all over the country carried long articles about Mr. James and have predicted an unusual success for him if he chooses the movies as a profession. Frat Visitor Has Highly Valuable Conference Court Tournament Held Autograph Book With Tulane Host The military inspection of the Uni versity military R. O. T. C. unit, held Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week, was pronounced satisfac tory by the visiting War Department inspectors, states Major A. T. Colley, head of the local military unit. The purpose of this inspection was to determine the amount of work done by the University mili tary unit and to see whether it measured up to the standard. This year a new plan was put into effect by the War Department, that of in spection determining the amount of work done and not for classification as in previous years. The annual review and parade in honor of the inspectors was held Wednesday morning at the regular 8:15 drill period lengthened until 9:25 by order of the Chancellor. During this inspection the visiting officers had the various companies and cavalry troops solve manoever problems. The War Department board of in spectors was composed of Lieuten ant-Colonel H. C. Merriam, general staff; Major William McCaughey, infantry; and Major William Nalle, cavalry. The board of inspectors arrived in Athens Monday at noon and were immediately taken to a conference with Chancellor Charles M. Snell- ing and other officials of the Uni versity and of the military depart ment. This conference was follow ed by an inspection of the Univer sity military equipment. Tuesday the visiting officers vis ited a number of advanced and sec ond basis military classes in order to check up on the amount of mill tary instructions afforded by the local military officers. The results of the inspection will not be made known by the War De partment until a future date.

E. fra ternity Wednesday night were per- niitt d to see one of the most inter esting and most valuable autograph book-, in the world. The collection it- the pioperty of Mr. Eric Dawson, of Evanston, Illinois, who visited the Georgia chapter as a representative of the national headquarters of the fraternity. Mr. Dawson, formerly a teacher of French and Spanish at the University of Mississippi, of which he is an alumnus, and other schools, was an officer in the Intelligence Corps of the United States army during the World War, being attached t 0 a spe cial detail of 250 men who could speak two or more foreign lan guages. While in France after the signing of the armistice, Mr. Dawson was in charge 'of the reception room at the headquarters of the American peace commission. While serving in this capacity he had the opportunity to meet many of the leaders of Al lied armies, as well as delegates sent by the various nations to the peace conference. The autograph book not only con tains the signatures of such famous personages as Marshal Foche, Mar shal Petain, General Diaz, General Pershing, Lloyd George, Woodrow Wilson, Clemenceau, and more than half of the signers of the Versailles treaty, but is illustrated with many fascinating and paintings by artists in Allied armies, and other talented people. “My first idea,” said Mr. Dawson, “was to get the autographs of prom inent people, but the first person whom I asked to sign drew a pic ture. Thereafter I requested those who autographed the book t 0 con tribute something of their genius.” As a result the collection contains poems, epigrams and art Work. Much of the latter is in colors. When asked whether he secured Mussolini’s signature, Mr. Dawson admitted that he was not political prophet enough to get this auto graph, though he could have done so easily. “When I was in Italy,” stated Mr. Dawson, “Mussolini was merely a newspaper writer. Some one told me to get his signature, as he would The Georgia tennis team, com posed of Courts, Boland, Napier and Legwen left Athens Tuesday for New Orleans where the S. C. tournament will be held May 10, 11 and 12. Courts, present title-holder, is ex pected to defend his title success fully. The Georgia team is slated to make a good showing in this tournament, in spite of the handicap of having no suitable court to practice on. The doubles team of Courts and Boland has shown steady improve ment and these two players should be at the top of their form in the tournament. Legwen has been play ing a consistent game of tennis throughout the year. Ham Napier, the only sophomore on the team, was the only Georgia man who won his match in the re cent competition with Vanderbilt, but Napier has had little experience in tournament play and it remains to be seen whether or not he can stand the strain of the Conference tournament. Bulldog Netmen Beaten by Van dy Georgia's tennis team was decis ively beaten by Vanderbilt Saturday in Nashville, 4 to 1. J. H. Napier was the only Georgia man to win his match.
