In the entertainment world, half a million dollars was the price placed on lost love. A suit was filed against actress Marlene Dietrich by Rita Von Sternberg alleging alienation of her husband’s affections for that amount.
The rumor about the actress and the movie director was efficiently quashed by Dietrich’s husband Rudolph Sieber, who the movie actress brought to the United States as a gesture of her love for America and it’s reception of her. Sieber made a public declaration of confidence in his famous wife, stating that relations between his wife and Josef Von Sternberg were purely those that normally exist between director and star. The Von Sternbergs had been divorced for four years in 1931. Rita Von Sternberg also filed another suit against Miss Dietrich for $100,000, charging that Marlene had libeled her in articles written for Austrian and German newspapers.

Tyrone and Osceola Mills played to a scoreless tie on Saturday afternoon, Oct. 3, 1931 at the Athletic Park.
Osceola Mills brought their band to perform, lots of fans and a team that was larger in size than the local players, The Indians kept Tyrone on the defensive all afternoon. The Orange and Black was without a first down through the first three quarters, finally compiling three to nine for the visitors.
Osceola outgained Tyrone on the ground 174-84 and the Eagles were able to complete just one pass of six thrown for five yards.
Tyrone coach Walt Mensch was forced to play several second stringers due to injuries. Aurand and Rodgers did get into the game in the final quarter and were lifesavers. Waple was out with Gunsallus subbing for him. Getz was knocked out of the game in the fourth quarter with Vanneman taking his place in the lineup.
Tyrone played superbly on defense recovering four Osceola fumbles that helped to keep the Eagles in the game.
The Eagles had a chance to score in the fourth quarter when they finally were able to put something together, but two five-yard penalties and the failure to complete a pass on fourth down spoiled that threat.
Hildebrand’s punting was a bright spot for Tyrone and Drake and Haag were terrors on defense in keeping Osceola, with a 215-pound fullback lugging the ball for short gains out of the Eagles endzone.
Tyrone (1-0-1) journeyed to Clearfield for their game on Oct. 10. Robinson was expected to be back for Clearfield, but the word was that Aurand, Waple and Rodgers might not be rady for at least another week. Getz’s health was not known early in the week.
