Its membership was smalland unrepresentative; a state of af¬fairs which was attributed to a gen¬eral lack of understanding as to itsreal aims and ideals.Tonight at 7 in Ida Noyes hall a bigmeeting is being held and it is urgedthat all of those who are in any wayinterested in Jewish education andculture attend the session.

INTER-CLASS BASKETBALLIn this column a few weeks ago, wetold how inter-class athletics at theUniversity have long been neglected.We pointed out that the variousclasses voted have inter-class sportslast year, but that actually very littlewas done to put them across. Only afew students took part in the inter-class games and very small crowdsturned out to see them.This year better management shouldbo given to intramural athletics. Moretime and pains should be taken to seethat they are successfully carried out.And all obstacles in the way of theirsuccess should be eliminated.An inter-class basketball tourna¬ment and an interfraternity basket¬ball series can hardly be carded on atthe same time. The plans for the in¬terfraternity games have already beenmade and it is very likely that theywill interfere with the inter-classseries that will be arranged for later.Inter-class basketball makes forinter class spirit and competition; fra¬ternity basketball, for fraternityspirit and competition. The formeris much more needed at the Univers¬ity. And for that reason the inter¬fraternity series should be stopped ifit interferes with the much more im¬portant inter-class tournament. Wehope that the Intrefraternity councilsees this point of view before manyInter-Greek contests are played andthat it will do all in its power to sup¬port the intramural games.CROSSING THE ASPHALTSeveral near-accidents at the cor¬ner of Fifty-eighth St. and Ellis Ave.and at the Cobb hall comer of EllisAve., indicate a serious menace tosafety at this unprotected point. Sincethe paving of Ellis Ave. this dangerhas appeared, and unless steps aretaken to guard against it, a fatal ac¬cident may result.Automobile traffic proceeding at ahigh rate of speed in both directionson Ellis Ave. without regard to pe¬destrians may serve to make trips tothe Bookstore, Ellis hall, and thePress building spicy and often thrill¬ing. But most of us get enough ofthis variety of entertainment in theloop or vicanously at the movies. Wecan dispense with it on the campus,and it may as well be dispensed withnow as after a killing or two.NAME RATCLIFF, BRICKMAN,APT AND MILLARDPROM LEADERS(Continued from Page 1)is a matter of speculation at the pres¬ent writing.The Undergraduate council has fav¬ored the holding of the Prom off-cam¬pus at the South Shore Country clubbut has been opposed in its desiresby the faculty Board of Student Or¬ganizations which is favorable to anon-campus dance. The Board has re¬ferred the entire matter to PresidentJudson and Dean Talbot. The Coun¬cil, likewise, has referred the matterso far as it is concerned to the lead¬ers appointed today and the finalagreement as to where the Prom willbe held now rests with the decisionwhich these six roach.

Attendance at the dancehas been limited to 200 couples, butowing to the fact that a number offiaternities had already scheduledevents for Friday a number of ticketsare' unsold, he said.The dance will be held at the HydePark hotel, Hyde Park Blvd. and Har¬per Ave., from 9 to 12.

Detailsof the interfraternity bowling tourna¬ment will also be settled.“The Interfraternity dance is thebig informal affair of the Winterquarter,” William Gubbins, presidentof the Interfraternity council, saidyesterday. “The best music obtain¬able has been secured, and by limitingattendance to two hundred couples ina hall with a capacity of three hun¬dred couples we have assured a first-class evening. Tickets should be pur¬chased at once, however, as the limitwill be strictly observed.”Following the ticket reports, sched¬ules for the bowling, basketball andbridge tournaments will be presentedby the schedule committee.INTERFRATERNITY BASKET¬BALL TOURNEYS TOBEGIN TOMORROW(Continued from Page 1)Coach Norgren says, “I think that in¬terfraternity basketball is the bestthing on the campus in its line.

SIXTY-THIRD ST.Under State and National Super\ision PROKOFIEFF RECITALErnest Bloomfield ZeislerSergei Prokofietf, the gifted youngRussian composer, yesterday after¬noon gave us a taste of his decidedability. He does not pose as a pianistand I shall not comment on him assuch except to say that his technicis well fitted for his own compositionsand that he plays very well. As acomposer there is much more to besaid. The most striking thing is hisdefinite and various rhythms, whichput life into all he writes and leavenothing monotonous. He has the en¬thusiasm and ambition of youth andthis appears in his music. On hearinghis Sonata for the first time one maynot like it very well. There are notmany lyrical themes which one canwhistle, though occasionally one feelsthat there is a threat of melody; buta certain vitality characterizes every¬thing, illustrated adequately by thescherzo and vivace of the Sonata. TheTocatta I did not care for very much,though I decidedly did enjoy the com¬poser’s Prelude which he played asencore. Whether or not one likesrrokofieff’s music one hsould be ex¬tremely careful not to consider him afuturist and not to confuse this verytalented, able, serious, original com-posre with such a non-entity as CyrilScott.Among the other things Mr. Proko-fieff played were six pieces by Mous-sorgsky, the first two of which I liked;the others seemed to me quite inno¬cent of any content or value. Threepleasant country dances by Beethoven,from one of which Kreisler drew hisRondino, followed a Prelude andFugue by Buxtehude, the teacher ofPach.

Patronize Our AdvertisersByJohn GuntherIN WASHINGTONThe Gentleman With a Duster andhis even more anonymous Americanconfrere started a ball rolling withtheir “Mirrors” books which has yetto stop. We have had contemporarypolitical profiles, sidelights, sketches,memoirs, and so on ad infinitum andad nauseam. One of the best of thelot is the WASHINGTON CLOSE-UPS (Houghton) of Edward G.Lowry.Mr. Lowry, without hiding himselfunder a pseudonym, manages to mopoff his Mirrors with much dispatch.Most of his sketches of our leadingpolitical figures, although a good dealless acidulous than those in “The Mir¬rors of Washington,” are pointed anddirect enough—and they must be atleast mildly disturbing to their sub¬jects. Harding is described as “thegreat emollient,” Hayes as “a humanflivver,” Lodge as “the very best but¬ter,” and Taft as “in port at last.”The short section dealing with Ex-renator Lewis is almost libellous; Mr.McCormick, on the other hand, is fav¬orably considered as “the young vita-mine.” Mr. Lowry is anecdotal andpersonal in the extreme, and 1 daresay he has committed enough indos-cretions in his book to have made him¬self the most popular man in Wash¬ington.SOUTH SEAS STUFFThe great South Seas wave nowcasts up on our barren shore WHERETHE PAVEMENT ENDS (Knopf),by a young American named JohnRussell. We may have our O’Briensand our Maughams and (to go back abit) our Melvilles, but this book rath¬er outdose them all, and all the restof the South Seas stuff, for glamourand excitement and real thumping ad¬venture. The hook is a selection ofshort stories, most of them extremelyKiplingesque, and some of them un¬duly melodramatic. Mainly they arereports of outlandish and incredibleadventures, recounted with such agood atmosphere and such real tech¬nical skill as to become at least mild¬ly credible. And, credible or not, theyare thrilling (the onl yword) reading.I still think that Stevenson’s “TheBeach of Falesa” and SomersetMaugham’s “Rain” are the two bestshort stories coming from the SouthSeas l have ever read, but any threeor four of Mr. Russell’s tales, espe¬cially “The Lost God” and “The Priceof the Head,” make close bids forthird choice.TOMLINSONThe last few years have seen thebirth of a very genuine talent in thebooks of II. M. Tomlinson, the literaryeditor of the London Nation. Mr.Tomlinson is a poet content, some¬how, with prose, and his prose is al¬most entirely non-fictional. His firsthook, “Old Junk,” a group of sketchesmainly of the sea, has been comparedto the best of Conrad, and his THESKA AND THE JUNGLE (Dutton),now reprinted in an inexpensive edi¬tion, is an incomparable account ofthe voyage of a tramp-steamer fromEngland to Brazil, and thence up theAmazon a thousand miles. This bookevokes an atmosphere you can cut inslices, and there are passages in itthat are purely lyrical without in theleast being high-flown.Mr. Tomlinson’s newest book isLONDON RIVER (Knopf). In it isa series of sketches describing aspectsof the Thames—aspects as various as“An Old Lloyd’s Register” and “TheShip-Runners.” The prose is whollydelightful, though, 1 think, not souniformly well-sustained as it is in“The Seas and the Jungle.” Mr. Tom¬linson curiously uses extremely shortsentences (most writers of descriptiveprose, like Ruskin, run to very longsentences), and yet achieves ebb andflow and rhthym. His brevity hasnothing of the staccatto quality ofMacauley. The beauty of “LondonRiver” is complimented by the pic¬turesqueness of the things which aredescribed, and emphasized by theformat; like all Knopf books, it ishandsomely printed and bound, witha title page quite the nicest I haveseen in a long time.A FREUDIAN FLAPPERA YOUNG GIRL’S DIARY (Selt-r.cr), with a “preface” (really a veryshort letter) by the renowned Dr.F"cud, is the translation of a diarykept by an Austrian girl in the earlyyears of her puberty. The characterof much of it explains the warning onthe wrapper—“For members of theThe book is of undoubted value from medical and legal professions only.”a psychopathic point of view; other¬wise, 1 think, it is garbage of therankest kind.A GOOD ANTHOLOGYSir Henry Newbolt has compiledAN ENGLISH ANTHOLOGY (Dut-j ton), “showing the main stream ofEnglish literature through six centuries.” It covers the ground fromChaucer to Pater and Stevenson, and,in many of its selections, is singularlyhappy. The book suffers in that itcontains both too much and notenough; that is, it includes all kindsof literature, prose and poetry, let¬ters and documents, drama and phil¬osophy, and as a result each writeris very limited to space. RobertBridges (among the few contempo¬raries included), has as many pagesas Crabbe, Byron, and Clough togeth¬er. There are other infelicities. Buton the whole the book is thoroughwell-proportioned, and representative,and it would make, I should think, anj excellent text book.MANSLAUGHTERIn Mrs. Alice Duer Miller’s newnovel, by name MANSLAUGHTER(Dodd Mead), you will find excellentSaturday Evening Post fiction em¬balmed between covers. Mrs. Millertells the story of a fast and imperiousflapper who finally is taught a thor¬ough lesson—she kills a man with herautomobile, and in spite of the factthat she is rich, actually goes to jailfor it. The lover is inevitably theProsecuting Attorney. “Manslaugh¬ter” is fast light fiction of an obvious¬ly superior order.TEN DENOMINATIONAL MEET¬INGS TO OPEN FIRSTCHURCH WEEK(Continued from Page 1)al, Y.
