Red of the Merchant Marine: Thorpe Film Rights and What Might Have Been
A history of Jim Thorpe's film rights shows MGM bought the biographical play Red Son of Carlisle in 1931 with Thorpe’s collaboration, but no movie ever materialized. Metro kept no active plans, while Thorpe later sought to reacquire rights but was refused. The piece suggests a new biopic titled Red of the Merchant Marine could still emerge if a strong project is produced.

Professional seeks congressional aid to curb intercollegiate athletics
Oklahoma coach Bruce Drake asks Rep Mike Monroney for a national survey and a “czar” to regulate professionalism in college sports. He proposes cross‑section scholarship terms, a per‑school fee to fund the czar, and safeguards so athletes can choose schools over programs. Monroney warns no funds exist and any survey would rely on elections. Drake plans meetings with university presidents and conference athletic directors to outline binding scholarship terms. Also lists today’s sports schedule including Wash at Boston and Philadelphia at New York games.
