In 1935 he toured Russia and the Baltic countries, while in 1930 he went on a news quest to China, Japan, Manchukuo, and Korea. This will be the third of the celebrity series, Upton Close and the De Coue pictures preceding Mr. Snyder.

Pittsburgh's mighty Panthers minus Ail-American Marshall Goldberg, handed Nebraska its fifth and worst defeat of the sea son yesterday in Memorial sta dium, 19 to 0. Flashing a pile driving offensive game, which had been expected by most of the 33,000 in the stands, the blue shirted Panthers drove to scores in the second, third, and fourth quarters, with Daddio boot ing the place kick after the final touchdown.

Late in the first period, Bill Callihan was called upon to drive through the middle from his own 7. Wild Bill was hit hard, fum bled, and Pitt recovered on the Husker 10.
