POW actors have enjoyed the sud
den rise that has accompanied the
entry of Buddy Rogers, a mambar of
the Alpha chapter of the Phi Kappa
Psi fraternity at Kansas university.
Re says luck gave hint his chance, but
all the good fortune that ever coma
to a man is useless unless ho takes
the next ,step—hard wink
It was during Buddy's third yeas
at Kansas that Paramount establish
ed its school in Nell York to train
promising actors and actresses. Thea
ter managers who booked Paramount
pictures store told to report the
names of any individuals that might
sm eon well
The manager of the little theater in
Olathe, Kansas, \Nile. Buddy attend
ed grammar, grades and high school,
thought of Buddy, since he had played
the lead in the high school play and
was extremely good-looking Bud
dy aas tequested to come to Kansas
City and have screen tests made.
For those days he made those tests
Buddy says when talking of them:
"They smeared my face all up with
greasy stuff winch I didn't like They
made me jump, run, show angel., and
every thing you could think of. My
maestro. sus playing for farewell
fraternity and sorority dances, finals
acre on and I was flying to take
screen tests at the same time It's
a uondet I ever made it. They must
hose been hard up for actors when
they took me"
Just after Buddy Rogers had tak
en the screen tests, Cornell selected
eleven musicians from various schools
to play to then• orchestra during a
swumer tom of Europe. Buddy was
selected as the trombone player.
While to high school, he played the
Ftench horn, drums, and trombone.
Ile worked all his way through three
years of univetsity life by playing fot
dances
When it was !craned that Rogers
had made good and was one of the
foltunate ones to attend the Para
mount school, which was to start Im
mediately, Buddy told Jesse L. Lasky,
fust vice-president, of his chance to
go to Eutope. Mr. Lasky advised
Buddy to enter the school, and forget
the trap. Buddy had been to Spain
the summer before anyway, working
his way on a mule ship
The mayor, minister, school master,
and prominent citizens of Olathe
wrote letters to Jesse Lasky when
it was announced that Charles Rog
ers had been selected for the Para
mount school Buddy feels it helped
him make good He says that his suc
cess has been through the backing of
friends and kindness of studio offi
cials. But he's %long You would
like Buddy, just as sin do, if you
knew him
Buddy feels that his fiaternity life
has made st easy for him to meet
people It has bioadened and refined
his likable peisonnlity. He advises
eery young fellow to attend college
and nod: his v.ay if possible.
In the last }ear and a half he has
appeared as the leading man in
"Wings," "Get Youi Plan," playing
opposite Clain Bow, and the pint of
Able in "Abie's Irish Rose." The lat.
tei is one of the biggest films made
in Hollywood, this yew..

Cfihrles "Buddy" Rogers is modest.
He conies the mark and breeding of
a college man His sense of frankness
and modesty are as engrained as are
his acting and good looks—outstand
ing. Ho's just on the edge of a scin
tillating career in the cinema world,
and ho is the least conscious individ
ual in Hollywood of this fact.

Nittany Matmen Down
Navy Wrestlers, 19-6
(Continued from Brat page)
i bout of the afternoon, Eisenman suc
ceeded in throwing Gray after the Lion
grappler had apparently been thrown.
Neither man went to the mats before
the required two minutes. Eisenman
won the toss and took the top posi
tion. In attempting to secure a hold
for a fall, the Lion 195-pounder left
himself open. The Navy man succeed
ed in throwing Choate to his beck.
Bracing his body, Eisenman pulled
himself to his feet from a prone posi
tion with the Navy wrestler on top
of him and continued on over to se
cure the fall in 4 minutes and 23 sec
onds. In the second four minute pei
iod the Lion wrestler broke away from
Gray and nearly succeeded in throw
ing him a second time.
Science on the part of Campbell
won the bout for hint against a larg
er Navy grappler. In this bout both
men were on the mats before the first
two minutes were up. Campbell soon
displayed his superior wrestling know
ledge and at one time nearly secured
a fall, only the greater strength of his
opponent, Morton, prevented his win
by a fall. The match was interesting,
from start to finish with brain pitted
against strength.
Pearce Loses To Hughes
Pearce and Whitey Hughes, last
season's center on the Navy football
team, waged a fierce battle in the 175-
