That can lead you to all sorts of pain and tooth Hagman started out in 1910 as a delivery boy for Henry P. Boos.

On the side he was a willing student, and it wasn't long before he was in the lab all the time working as a dental technician. Porcelain was the material used for most false teeth years ago. Dentists used to make mouth casts of plaster and then break it out in sections. "Didn't that hurt?" I asked with a shudder. "Well, I suppose it did," said Hagman.

Today plastic is the main material used, and dentists have all sorts of new equipment to use some of it invented by Hagman. 5 Vv Minneapolis Star Photos by Charles Bjorgen For his inventions and his leadership in the field, Hagman was made an "honorary dentist" by the Minneapolis District Dental Society. I asked Hagman if anything remains from the old days. "Yes," he said, "gold for inlays. Gold remains the best substance although stainless steel has been tried, but it's usually too hard to bite on." I also' wondered if he had ever made a unique set of false teeth.

"No, not real I The Gophers new rug Memorial Stadium's new "rug," the synthetic turf playing field used for the first time last week in the game with Ohio University (above), is somewhat like your new living room carpet. You just don't go barging in with your muddy shoes. Spectators are asked to keep off the playing field even though it js tough enough to withstand the wear and tear of collegiate football. Can you imagine using the vacuum cleaner on a rug more than 180 feet wide and more than 360 feet long? The turf surface is combustible and a cigarette burn will leave a hole. The Gophers practice on the new turf three days a week.

T'l rc i i i 11 -rni'ti Hagman The new field requires different equipment. The Gophers are testing two types of special shoes, a red-sole, 21-cleat moulded model and the standard screw-in cleat footwear. Perforated jerseys are worn on warm days. The synthetic turf reflects more heat than grass. Nebraska's Cornhuskers, Minnesota's JJ 1 1 o-i.

That must have been a case where the bite really was worse than the bark until Hagman fixed it up. OLD MOVIES are truly "in." I just wish more TV stations in town realized it. My readers do.

After Dayton's old movie festival, they wrote in demanding more. This week channel 11 favored us with a rerun of that 1938 nugget "Alexander's Ragtime Band." I stayed with it until the loyers Tyrone Power and Alice Faye were reunited on stage at Carnegie Hall. Everybody was smiling Alice, Tyrone, Don Ameche (on piano), Jack Haley (on drums), Chick Chandler (on trombone) and singer Ethel Merman. I was so happy about it all that I cried. Well, old movie lovers, if TV doesn't continue to serve us with these gems, we can always turn to Bob Pa-trin.

Patrin, who staged old movies at the last season, is moving downtown to the public library this year. Oct. 19 at 7 p.m. Patrin will open his season with "Fashions of 1934," a musical starring Bette Davis, William Powell and Hugh Herbert. And there's a musical number in it staged by Busby Berkeley.

Patrin said he'll try to bring us more film treasures if enough people show up on Oct. 19. Tickets will be on sale at the door. Four free movies gangsters and Westerns are set for the Minneapolis Institute of Arts opening Oct. 20.

That night at 8 o'clock the film will be "Underworld" by Josef von Sternberg, the mighty director. Other joys scheduled include Gary Cooper in "The Virginian," Humphrey Bogart in "Roaring Twenties" and Gregory Peck in "Gunfighter." Institute members, by the way, are being offered a great "members only" film series this year. It opens Oct. 13 with "Twentieth Century," the comedy starring Carole Lombard and John Barrymore. On the list are such giant-size films as with Bette Davis, and "Top Hat," with Fred and Ginger.

Commission members are going to decide which they like best and then put a "consensus" bus on the streets offering free rides.

Riders will be asked what they think of the new paint job. Paint, schemes are being tested before placing an order for 93 new buses.
