After all the usual andproper serenades, the procession willfile into Kent theater for the realFreshman Frolic.Play Is by Miss Herrick.This year's playlet is a comic operafrom the pen of Alice Lee Herrick, ofmuch histrionic fame in university circles, but- we are assured that it issomething new in Freshman, Froliclines. There is not a hint of the traditional troubles of the hapless fresh,not a slam on the complication of theregistration system, no conventionalsatire on fall quarter greetings andrushes. But there is plenty o'f life andvim in this new and as yet unfashionable playlet; plenty of the comedy andtragedy of college life and love, andplen ty of stirring Blackfriar music ina new guise. Every day a cast of college women who seem just like ordinary students when you see them onthe campus are playing chorus ladiesbehind the scenes in Kent theater.Alice Lee Herrick has turned theatrical director and Margaret Rhodes isworking as her assistant. MonaQuayle has been engaged as "property man" and Leone Hemingway asmaster musician, and some thirtyother celebrities will appear in variousroles. HE'S HERE.

The feature of thepractice was the unexpected weaknessof the Varsity line. several kicks being blocked by the yearlings. It wasbecause of their ability to breakthrough the Varsity line that accountsfor the-scOi:�. The other score wasmade hy a drop kick. The goal wasdeclared though it seemed to manythat the wind had changed the courseof the ball past the posts.Three place kicks were tried by theregulars with three resulting failures.Scruby attempted two and Pierce onebut the Freshmen blocked all. At alltimes. the Freshmen displayed surpr ising form, working with snap andspeed. Over thirty Freshmen havereported for practice.

Thisis the feature in which the severityof last year's rules has be�n modified.The present rule, like that of lastyear, requires that a pass be madefrom a point five yards behind theline of scrimmage. Last year's rulerequired that after an uncompletedpass the ball was to be serin play atthe point of the pass, thus resulting ina set loss of five yards on the play. SENIOR WINS SCHOLARSHIP.William Merrill Gets Prize For Composition of Play.William F, Merr ill, a Senior inthe university, has been awarded ayear's scholarship in Harvard University and left last week for Cambridgeto commence his studies. The scholarship, awarded by the ::\IacDowellclub of X ew York City, was for thebest dramatic production submittedby an undergraduate in an Americanuniversity. •Merrill's cont;ibution was adjudgedbest of those submitted and he wasnotified about a month ago of hissuccess. ::\Ierrill plans to specializein the study of dramatic compositionwhile at Harvard and to that end isplanning to take considerable workwith Professor George Baker, famousas the teacher of Edward Sheldon,Arthur Pinero, and other eminentdramatists. Merr'ill plans to returnto Chicago next year and take his degree here. \Vhile at Chicago he wasprominent in the productions of theBlackfriars and the Dramatic club.He is a member oi the Delta Upsilonfraternity.FOOTBALL RULES 'MODIFIED.Forward Pass Penalty Lessened ButLength Is Limited.Other Changes.Last year's rules have also beenmodified in that a player who catchesa forward pass may be tackled immediately, instead of being allowedto take a step, as he was last year.'Several minor changes have beenmade. The time of intermission between the first and second quartersand the third and fourth periods hasbeen cut to two minutes. The number of men allowed on the side lineshas also been cut to three, the formerfigure being five.Several changes relative to the forward pass have be en made in lastyear's rules. with the object of making the play a more certain groundgainer. Lessening the penalty uponan uncompleted pass makes the playless dangerous to attempt, and hencethe field generals will be -tempted tomake more use of it. The one addedrestriction limits the length of thepass to twenty yards from the line ofscrimmage. Other changes of minorimportance have been made in thelength of time between 'halves and in UniversityI-P StationeryAT CUT PRICESSpecial No t eb o o k sOPES EVESISG;READY NEXT SPRING;RUSH RYERSON WORK D.
