On account of the early date of the showthis year, active coaching will beginabout the first of March. The tryowts for the cast will probably beheld the first of next month. A morefinished production, if possible, willbe given this year, on account of thelonger period of coaching. Arrangements are being completed with theDiiron ·Dramatic ClUb-of "the ""Uolver·-'sity of Illinois for the exchange ofplays, and a trip to Champaign and toPurdue or Wisconsin is practicallyassured.Active work for the production of"The Pursuit of Portia" was begunlast night, when sixty-five men reported at the- R�yn�id-s- cfub,·for: 'T�struction in Miss Hinman's Blackfri�rclass in dancing. This class, which·proved such a success last year, bidsfair to prove more popular this quarter. Miss Hinman was enthusiasticover the numbers and ability shownby the men."I have never seen at a class of thiskind, such a wealth of good material,"she· said "If all these men keep coming out for the class, as I am sure theywill, for they all have ability, theBlackfriar play will be much betterthan last year's in the dancing department."Preliminary steps in the Spanishwaltz clog, a feature dance writtenby Stapp, were taught last night. Thisdance promises to equal in rhythmand beauty the "Czardas" and "TheSailor's .Hornpipe" of "Capturing Calypso." Other special dances are being finished by Stapp, especially the"Dance of the Senses," ·written especially for Parker and Rogers. Almostall of the song music has been completed, the lyrics have been handedover to the critics. Merrill and Kennicott have been working on these aswell as completing the second actof the play.Although the showing last nightin numbers was large, Manager Bowers urges that more men come outfor the class."A good percentage of the menpresent last night," he said, "weremen who are either going to tryoutfor the cast, or those who may beineligible for appearance in the playnext May. Not only must more mencome out. but those who were theremust stick. Preference will be giventhose who are present every Wednesday evening at 7:30. A miss .meanslosing some part of a step or dance.which will be very hard to make up."He also emphasized the fact thatthe "girls" must bring skirts, andeveryone their soft soled shoes, for noone will be allowed to dance on thefloor with hard leather soles.Contracts are being drawn up withthe various companies interested withthe production and ·with Mr. Stothart MASQUERS TO HOLD TRYOUTSFreshmen Women Wlli Organize aNew Dramatic ClubThe Masquers, a new dramatic organization for Freshmen women,planned last quarter, will hold its firsttryouts January 24.

The coach of the Chicago five, would not predict a decisivevictory when seen last night afterpractice."The team has not been tested sufficiently;' he declared. "to warrantany such prediction."He warned Univer sity students whoare inclined to look upon Northwestern as an easy practice game, againstover-confidence, and asserted that sat-,isfaction will be strong if Chicago candefeat Northwestern by a comfortablemargin.The members of the team are inclined to be more optimistic but Pagethinks that that is just the trouble.He recalled the near-disaster on thefootball field last fall, and said thatit would be repeated unless the teamgot out of its head the easy opposition it expects to face in the Purplefive. Wisconsin defeated Northwestern 32 to 19, a score that provesNorthwestern has a strong team, forthe margin is not as wide as' the heralded strength of the Badgers wouldlead one to expect.'Rooters who hope to be on hand towatch the game are anxious that therooting be organized and effective.The support that comes from thebleachers indoors can be of far moreservice to the men who are fightingfor victory, than on the football field.The rooters will be; massed at thesouth end of the gymnasium andcheer-leaders will be' on hand to seethat yells and songs are properlycared' for.MEET NORTHWESTERNIN DUAL AQUATICMEET AT EVANSTON\Vith the opening dual swimmingmeet of the season two days off,Coach White is dubious regardingthe showing of the University team.On Saturd-ay night Xorthwestern wilJ'be met in their own pool. \Vhile everything looked favorable for the visitorsat the outset, prospects have beenconsistently dwindling, and with theteam's best swimmers disqualified, orrendered ineligible, the outcome isnow doubtful.

Johanson, editor ofThe Alumnus. calls the regulationAmerican football a business organized for glory. He contends thatRugby in its possibilities as an interuniversity sport, lends itself morereadily to the deal of college athletics for the many, and should be favored because it can actually beplayed from the day college opens tothe end of the season.Mr. Johanson's opinion of the present game of football follows:"The present game of football, withits multitude of accessories, sectionalconferences. complicated nationalcode of rules. special eligibility require.nents, national rules commissions. elaborate advertising campaigns. ideal. All-American and AIIConference teams. high-salariedcoaches. umpires. referees, field judgeslinesmen. secret practice. "scouting"service. protests. gate money division,and more of the kind�the presentgame with all these accessories seemsto be more an efficiently organizedbusiness for winning championship�Iory and substantial profits than '1college pastime.Too Much Public Interest."There is no need for S,O muchelaboration in a game played ·by college students among themselves.When the desire to win predominatestoo much. the way is opened up fornumerous alien considerations; andwhen there is added the desire toprofit as much as possible 'by thepuhlic interest in a college game, theway is opened to many other considerations, until. in the final upshot, thepurposes which originally did. andstill should. justify college games arelost from sight. When a game stirsup so .much pother outside collegeit is safe to conclude that it is losingits proper function and beginning toserve as 'a public spectacle. The question is whether football exists to gratify our desire for the spectacular.When a team practices behind closedgates and only issues forth on stateoccasions to play a match game itwould seem that it served that purpose merely. And when there is somuch argument over rules and 'scouting' in the 'enemy's territory' in order to gain some advantage over theopponent, it would seem that the desire to win exceeds reasonablebounds.Collaterals Are Wrong."So long as there is rivalry amonginstitutions in athletic matters, resulting in match games, there will 'bea keen public interest in these. Butthis interest should be an incidentalthing so far as the management andplaying of games is concerned. Iffootball could be stripped of its many .collaterals and be made a game to 'beplayed in the spirit of generosity aridfairness with which college manmeets college man, it might be adapt-ed to the ideal of intramural sports.But it is doubtful that, in its present state of development. which requires so much practicing for so littleactual playing, it could ever satisfactorily serve such purpose."
