PAGE EIGHT UNITED THEATRE 306 EAST CENTER STREET FRIDAY AND SATURDAY LEFTY FLYNN IN THE GREATEST ACTION PICTURE OF THE GREAT WEST EVER PRESENTED "THE NO GUN MAN" THRILLS - FUN ACTION WANDA WILEY IN "Looking Down" William Desmond IN THE RIDDLE RIDER SPECIAL CHILDREN'S MATINEE SATURDAY ... 5 cents High School Sports Two big Hi School games are scheduled for tonight. In the girls' class baseball series the sophomores, who beat the freshies 35-19 on Wednesday, will play the victorious seniors to decide the class championship, while the boys' varsity basketball team will open the Orange league series at San Juan Capistrano. The C class team also will play there. Thelma Kiler, captain, and Iona McMurty starred for the freshies and Ember Heine, Cuba Carner, Leonora McAllister and Elizabeth Mott for the sophomores in Wednesday evening's game. Next week, probably at the school cafeteria, the winning team will be given a dinner by the three losing teams. Several practice baseball games Great Western Story At United Theater Under the intriguing title of "The No-Gun Man" the second production starring Maurice B. ("Lefty") Flynn will be shown at the United theater tonight to the delight of a big audience. More side-splitting comedy and whirling melodrama have been crowded into this feature than three ordinary pictures contain, and the former Yale football star again proves wisdom in making him a full-fledged star in his own right. The story by Dorothy Arzner and Paul Ganglin, is a crook drama with a western setting. As the young banker who hunts down the criminals Mr. Flynn shines with particular brilliance, and held as a good foil in Rayford Turper, a "goofy" sort of culled gentleman who acts as his valet, NURMI WILL GO AFTER TWO-MILE NEW YORK, Jan. 23. After due deliberation and an elaborate consideration of a time schedule that would reflect no discredit upon limited trains, Paavo Nurmi has proclaimed his intention of stepping two miles in nine minutes flat or better, breaking all existing records for the distance by more than eight seconds. The great Finn made this announcement today thru officials of the Wilco A. A and the seemingly impossible attempt will be made two weeks hence. Jole Ray will be one of Paavo's opponents on the occasion in question. Jole has not only suffered the indignity of defeats by Nurmi since the latter appeared on American indoor tracks, but has seen six of his world's records pass into the great beyond via the same agency. If Paavo makes good his nine-minute attempt Ray will suffer again. He has the world's indoor record of 9:08 2-5 for the distance Alf Schrubb has the outdoor mark of 9:09 3-4. If Paavo does nine minutes he will be beating both Schrubb and Ray by upwards of 60 yards in actual distance. His announcement, consequently might be taken as so much malarkey if it was not for the fact that Nurmi is Nurmi. "He can do anything he claims he can." W. G. George, former holder of the mile record, told the writer in London, following the Olympic game. It is my opinion that he can run a mile in four minutes." It would seem to follow that any man who can step a mile in four minutes can double the distance in nine. To do so he will have to travel at the rate of 20 feet a second, an almost incredible pace in view of the fact that a sprinter turning 100 yards in ten seconds is moving just 30 feet a second on the average. Yet Nurmi has maintained this pace before in distance races. In this instance his attempt will be made in the Wilco 3,000 metre championship, while the boys' varsity basketball team will open the Orange league series at San Juan Capistrano. The C class team also will play there. Thelma Kiler, captain, and Iona McMurty starred for the freshies and Ember Heine, Cuba Carner, Leonora McAllister and Elizabeth Mott for the sophomores in Wednesday evening's game. Next week, probably at the school cafeteria, the winning team will be given a dinner by the three losing teams. Several practice baseball games are scheduled before the league series opens. On the 29th the girls will play Excelsior HI of Norwalk here, on Feb. 5. Ponte there on Feb. 10 El Monte here and on Feb. 17 Downey here. Montehello HI also will play Anaheim late. On Thursday, Feb. 5 the girls' hockey team will play Fullerton here. U. OF N. OHOOSES ILLINOIS COACH LINCOLN, Neb., Jan. 23—Ernest E. Bearg, assistant football coach to Bob Zuppke at the University of Illinois, was selected today as the new head football mentor at the University of Nebraska, according to an announcement this noon but the university board of athletics. Bearg's appointment is effective March 1. The vacancy as 'Cornhusker coach resulted from the resignation of Fred Dawson from that position nearly a month ago. Dawson is remaining at Nebraska as director of athletics. A Class Ad will bring you results. Whirling melodrama have been crowded into this feature than three ordinary pictures contain, and the former Yale football star again proves wisdom in making him a full-fledged star in his own right. The story by Dorothy Arzner and Paul Ganglin, is a crock drama with a western setting. As the young banker who hunts down the criminals Mr. Flynn shines with particular brilliance, and held as a good foil in Rayford Turner, a "goofy" sort of called gentleman who acts as his valet, chauffeur and personal Man Friday. Raymond is nothing short of a delight, and the comedy which is developed both in situation and character is highly amusing. "The No-Gun Man" has many high spots, but the one which will probably be remembered longest is the attempt of the handits to do away with Flynn by tying him on a handcar and sending him down the grade toward the approaching Limited. They hope to kill two birds with one stone by this procedure, for it is their plan to bring the train to a stop and rob it. Lefty extricates himself from this hazardous situation in a unique and thrilling fashion. The fights an chases which hold the action of the picture at continual high pitch are finely directed by Harry Garston, who has also assembled a strong cast to support the star. Gloria Grey is again featured as the female lead and William J. Quinn, James Gordon Russell, Bob Reeves and Harry McCabe handle their roles nicely. NEW MAT CHAMP DUBUQUE, Ia., Jan. 23.—The world's middleweight wrestling championship changed hands here last night when Heinie Engel, Dubuque, downed Lou Talaber, Chicago, with a toe-hold in one hour and 45 minutes. The wrestlers got away to a slow start but warmed up to their work and the big crowd voiced its approval when the local boy was returned the victor. John McMahon, Chicago, referred the match.

Hoot Gibson Coming With Two-Gun Play Long barreled revolvers belching flame and death into the darkness of a rendezvous of reckless men; hard riding, rollicking cowboys; veengeance, heroism and love. All of these go to make a thrilling romance of "The Ridin' Kic From Powder River" which is the name of the Universal-Hoot Gibson attraction which will be shown in the California theater Saturday. The scene of the story is in Arizona and the time in the days when the territory then was virtually nothing other than a vast cattle ranch. Those were the days of one of the most thrilling periods of the settlement of the West, a period of the beginning of the transition of the land from a feeding ground for great herds of long-normed car- tle to a land of agricultural pursuits. The cattleman, long king in his rule, resented bitterly and for- FOREIGN EXCHANGE NEW YORK, Jan. 23.
