SPORT SLANTSI “Ace” at Duke Durham, Feb. 13.—Clarence (Ace) Parker, All-America football player at Duke in 1936, arrived last week to seive in the capacity as “visiting” coach and will assist with back field candidates during Duke’s off-season football drills. Parker, who last Fall was voted the most valuable play er in the National Professional Football League for his play with the Brooklyn Dodgers, will be here for the duration ot the Duke drills. In regard to his playing baseball with Portsmouth of' the Piedmont League, Parker said, “I left Portsmouth before the Pittsburgh team returned my contract to the Chicago Cubs, and I know nothing about it. I haven’t signed to play baseball with anyone, but 1 have talked with Frank Law rence, owner of the Portsmouth team. I also talke dwith Larry! MacPhail of the Brooklyn Dodgers. I do want to play base ball with some team.” It is reported that the Dodgers may send Ace to Mon treal of the International League and let Ace play until he! has to report for football practice August 15. Ace last summer played with Syracuse of the INT 100p 1 and was leading the league in hitting when he sustained a 1 broken leg. He Will Help The Devils ! Our personal opinion is that Parker will be a great help' to the Blue Devils in their spring drills. He knows quite a! bit about football and there is no other team that he would rather pass his knowledge to than the Blue Devils of Duke. He has helped at Duke before and we would not be surprised to see him wind up there as an assistant to Wade as soon as he stops playing pro ball. Any number of colleges would possibly like to have his services, but surely Duke' would have the inside track.

Historic Stage Coach Inn Goes Back To 1859 ' A California landmark bear ing the date 1859, makes its screen debut in “Come Live with Mo," co-starring James Stewart and Hedy Lamarr and showing at the Palace Theatre Monday and Tuesday. The landmark is an ancient Stage Ccach Inn, erected on Ven ura Boulevard during the days of the early West and the padres. Originally a spot where '.the stage riders could change horses and the padres could stop on their travels, the Inn now dispenses fried chicken and 85c dinners, bu' l in spite of this fact it is steeped in history and around its walls hang many relics of the early days of California. “Come Live with Me” is the firs'; film to co-star Stewart and Miss Lamarr, and is the story of a beautiful Austrian refugee who marries a penniless young author in an effort to obtain a quota number and remain in the Unit ed States. o Billy Barty And Company Appear .

Certainly the brazen hussy who chases George Brent around an assortment/ of film sets in the picture “Hcneymoon For Three” at the Dolly Madison, kissing him without invitation or reciproca tion, isn’t the Osa Massen she’s known all her life.
