KARLOFF AS UMPIRE
KEEN FOOTBALL ENTHUSIAST Far from being a " monster " in real life, it is well known Boris Karloff is a cultured gentleman and university graduate of partly English blood. A further aspect to his personality off the screen is shown in a cutting forwarded by a reader. This extract, giving the report of a Rugby Union game at Los Angeles between representatives of Canadian warships in port and a Southern Californian team, puts Boris Karloff in the innocuous role of " touch-judge," or line umpire. The game was won by the Californians, three points to nil.
