Athletes Get Aid
From Action Films
Coaches Find Movies Will Aid
Grid Players in Learning

Fundamentals
Movies and football practice don't
mix, ordinarily, but coaches in nearly 200 cities and towns ln Oklahoma

have found movies a vital factor ln
the development of gridiron teams.
This fact was brought to light
when a check was made on the
number of schools that used film-slidand movie reels, showing
football formations, provided by the
bureau of visual education of the
University of Oklahoma extension
division.
The football pictures were posed
by players under the direction of
Knutc Rocknc, famous Notre Dame
coach. In the flllmsllde group, the
Illustrations arc divided Into five
scries ranging from 45 to 90 slides
each, dealing with the subjects
"Handling the Ball," "Blocking and
Tackling," "Offensive Team Play,"
"Defensive Team Play," and "Typical Team Play."
Twelve complete series are kept
on hand in the film slides to supply
the demands of high schools, while
two prints of the motion pictures
are kept going In a continuous circuit from early in September until
after Thanksgiving.

ALUMINUM-OXYGE-

FLAME7
IS HOTTEST
A flame so intense as to melt its
way through any known solid substance, is produced by a new type
of blowpipe, employing finely powdered aluminum instead of the
more familiar hydrogen or acetylene
gases.
The new invention is described by Dr. Frank M. Strong of
Syracuse University, as follows:
"A screw conveyer carries a slow
stream of aluminum dust from the
bottom of a hopper, out through the
open end of a brass pipe. The dust
is met here by a swift cross-streaof oxygen, with which it forms a
fine and uniform suspension. From
this point the mixture is passed forward through a larger tube, which
a little farther along ls divided into
eight smaller tubes. The latter diverge from the central tube for a
short distance, and then are curved
back inward so as to come to a
sharp focus. The aluminum-oxyge- n
flame can be lighted at this focus
point with a match or Bunsen burn- -
