The Carleton team tookthe field and Captain Allison lost thetoss to Captain Jackson. Carletonkicked off to Chicago and after holding for three downs forced Agar topunt.

LARGE SQUADS IN MINORSPORTS PROMISE SUCCES:;;tSwimming and Gymnastic TeamsHave Strong Nuclei of Veteran Per.formers--Wrestling Has AdvancedMaterially in Last 1'wo Years.With the largest squads in the history of the University out for swlmruing, wrestling, gymnastics, and fencing, the outlook for these sports' during the coming season is highly encouraging. During the past few yearsthese forms of athletics have risenfrom a position of insignificance in theConference to one which now commauds no little respect and consideration, With the entrance of Iowa andOhio State, the western indoor Conference meet promises to become anaffair equal to the eastern Conferencemeet.Both the swimming and gymnasticsquads have a strong nucleus of veteran performers' around which to buildup a championship team. Wrestling,under the direction of Coach N etherton, has materially advanced duringthe past two years and for the firsttime in the history of the Universitytwo major "C's" were given out inthis sport last season. As a result.the interest has been growing and atthis early date a large number of menare out for the squad. Every member of last year's gymnastic squad,with the exception of Davis, is backthis season and a championship tearr.looks highly probable.Swimmers Aided by Frcshmen.Although weakened by the loss ofseveral individual stars in the personsof Redmon, Pavlicek, and Shirley,Coach White has a number of veteransleft in addition to a 'Iarge amount ofmaterial from last year's freshmanteam. Earle, holder of the, intercollegiate record in the forty-yard dashand of the Conference title in the 220-yard swim is regarded as the mainstay of the team. In Captain Meineand Collins, Coach White must developa back stroke man to take Pavlicek'splace, Vacin, one of. the best breaststroke swimmers seen at the University for some time, was a member oflast year's freshmanteam and shouldmore than fill the vacancy occasionedby the graduation of Shirley.

BASKETBALL SQUAD'IS -BUILT ON NINEVARSITY VETERANSCaptain George Is Only ManLost to 1917 Team byGraduation.ISCHEDULE TWELVE CONTESTSIowa Will Be First Conference .Opponents-Game Will Be PlayedJan. 6 in Bartlett.Captain George was the only regular from the 1916 basketball team lostby graduation last June. His loss willlikely be well replaced from the largesquad which turned out at CoachPage's call. Although daily practicehas been held in Bartlett since theopening of the Autumn quarter it was.not until the close of football seasonthat Captain Townley could take stock.of the candidates, since several of themost promising men participated infootball.Besides Captain Townley, Rothermel, Parker and Schafer, the veteranson the squad, there are Bent, McGaughy, Bondy, Goldstone, and Norgrenof last year's squad, and Gorgas, Orr,Evans, Curtis, Goldstein, Rudolph andGentles of the 1919 freshman team,and Roddy who was ineligible lastyear. Of these men, Gorgas, Orr,Bent, Roddy and Rudolph have shownup in the practice games as the likely .men to battle the regulars for jobs.The final lineup is at this time onlyproblematical, but it is likely thatCaptain Townley and Rothermel willplay at guards, Gorgas at center, andSchafer, Parker, Bent and Orr willcontest for the forward positions, witheverything favoring the veterans, ifthey can demonstrate some �f theteam work which they lacked lastyear.Arranges Practice Games.Coach Page has arranged a scheduleof practice games and tentative arrangements 'have been made for a tripto Detroit and Celeveland during theChristmas vacation. The first Conference contest wilt be played with Iowaas the opponents in Bartlett, January6. This early date makes the practice schedule even more importantthan in past years and Page will likely taper off the preparatory work withgames with such strong teams as theI11inois A.

' CHICAGO AND WISCONSINTEAMS SEEK TRACK TITLEFreshman Squad of Last Year andCross Country Groups Will SupplyMen as Good as Any in Conference.Chicago and Wisconsin appear to be,the leading contenders for the indoorConference track championship whichwill be decided in Patten gymnasium,Northwestern, March 24. Prospectsfor Captain Fisher's squad are thebrightest for any team since' 1915,when the track team captured the indoor classic, and lost the outdoor eventto Wisconsin by one point.Captain Stout, Whiting, Cornwell.Sparks, Merrill, Goodwin, Brodie, andAgar are the men lost to the team thisyear. Captain Stout's place can hardly be filled, for there is no two-miterwho can hope to develop, into a recordbreaker this year. Last year's freshman team was productive of morestars than any in recent years, andCoach Eek's cross country team shouldsupply some distance men a good asany in the Conference.Captain Fisher to CompeteCaptain Fisher will again do duty inthe high jump and pole vault and in- the latter event he will be assisted byGraham, former holder of the world'sprep mark. In the high jump he willhave Adam_; as an aid. The trio ofsophomore weight men, Kimball, Higgins and Gorgas are slated for placesill the Conference and will this yearmake the shot a strong event for theMaroons instead of the weak event ithas been for the past few years.Good sprinters are scarce andPershing, winner of the 60-yard dashin the Conference last y�r is the solehope. The two-twenty presents thesame difficulty and Clark may becalled upon to enter the event. Thequarter mile will 'be well taken careof by Dismond, the present champion.who will compete only during the indoor season, but a lack of good . secondand third place runners is apparent.Clark in the half is the only veteranback and it is likely that the other entries will include some of the othersophomore distance men. Guerin isthe sole hope in the high hurdles andBent will run the low hurdles in thespring meets.Seven Attempt Mile RuD.Otis, Tenney, Hincamp, Jones, Snyder, Powers, and Swett win be the eritries in the mile and two mile. Withthis array of talent, it is likely thatCoach Stagg will develop some of themen into half milers to pick up someof the odd points. In the relay, Chicago will be represetned by a team selected from Dismond, Clark, Otis, Tenney, Pershing, Swett, and Hincamp.The sprinting events will be themain weakness of the team unless agood sprinter is discovered, but in themain the other events will be welltaken care of. However, the old problem of an insufficient number of second .and third place winners, is stillbefore Coach Stagg.Francis Townley, '17,Basketball Captain. ..Maroon Baseball Squad MayNot Fare Better ThanLast Year. ....".sNEED PLAYER AT THIRD BASEHoughton Is Single Reliable Veteran10 Return For Work inOutfield Positions. ._.,�.:- :iBaseball prospects are the poorestof any of the major sports and it is aquestion whether the Maroon nine wiltfare any better on the diamond thisspring than it did last season. The1916 team was handicapped by thelack of a reliable twirler and CoachPage will not only have this sameproblem to face again, but he will haveto develop a man to fill Cavin's stationat third base. .Last year's 'freshman team was notproductive of any players who can fillthe gaps left by the graduation ofCaptain Shull, Cavin, George, McConnell, Cole, Griffin and Marum. Captain-elect Hart, Cahn, Rudolph,Houghton, Larkin, McGaughy, Pat- .terson and Wiedman are the veteransremaining, and Smith, Curtis, Maxwell, Long and Goldstein are the sophomores most' favored to fill the vacancies.Captain Hart Will Catch.Captain Hart wilt direct the teamfrom behind the bat. For pitchers,Page has Larkin and Patterson fromlast year's squad, and Curtis and Mulligan with the possibilities of developing into fair hurlers. First base isopen and Wiedeman may be usedthere, although he worked at shortstop in several games last year. Curtis is another possibility and probablythe most logical candidate if he is notcalled upon to pitch. Rudolph will be'at second base and Cahn may be pulledinto the infield to play at short. McGaughey and Wiedeman are other possibilities. The third base problem is aserious one and there appears to be nocandidate who can fill the bill. Longand Smith of last year's freshmanteam are two men who will contest forthe place, but both lack experiencewhich they cannot get in one season.Houghton is the only reliable veteran outfielder left, and he may beforced out of the game because of'press of work in the law school. Thisleaves Chang, Maxwell, Goldstein andsome of the extra infielders as a nu- .eleus for an outfield which at best can I.be only mediocre. Larkin probablywill be ucod in the outfield when he isnot pitching.Coach Page to Start Soon.Coach Page will start work in the(Continued on next page.) ,Norman Hart, '17,Baseball Captain •.-r,�-"";THE DAILY MAROON, 'THURSDAY. DECEMBER 16, 1916."URBANA VIC'l'ORY ISREDEEMING FEATUREOF FOOTBALL SEASON(Continued from preceding 'pa�e.), ,1 l'I ball that day that was just u::. good asit was poor the week before, and thismeans that it was unusual football forso early in the seasonWith the defeat of the Hoosiers theuncertainty concerning the strength ofthe Maroon team was banished andpraise for Carleton's early sea SODstrength was sung in the daily press.Now there was nothing to prevent theannual victory over Northwestern.But Northwestern's sterngth was nottaken into consideration and there wasgood reason for it. :Murphy's menopened the season with their annualIrolic with Lake Forest, and contraryto past seasons, when they tried to runup as big a score as possible so thatthe total score for the season would notbe too heavy in favor of their opponents, they only handed the Suburbanites a conservative trimming. The nextSaturday was spent by the Purple inwork for the Chicago game and whenthey trotted on to Stagg field Oct. 21.little was known of their actualstrength.Northwestern Victory SurpriseThe Northsiders got the jump andit was not long before they scored, buttheir seven points were not consideredseriously because Chicago had notstarted yet. The first half ended inNorthwestern's favor both as to scoreand strength shown. In the secondhalf the Maroons looked better, butanother fatal error in judgment losta chance to score and a little laterCaptain Driscoll booted a 4?-yard dropwhich clinched for his team its first'Victory over Chicago in fifteen years.This defeat again started the wheelsof expert judgment on the part of thecritics and many were the opinionsbrought forth until the Wisconsin defeat finally gave some ultra-expert theopportunity to hand down the decisionwhich finally set things at rest: Weare not sure to whom the honor betongs, but one of the well known critIes declared that Chicago had been anoverrated team and that they wereplaying up to form. This was a logical deduction from the score of theBadger contest, but the strength ofthe two teams is not indicated by thescore.Wisconsin following Northwestern'slead also got the jump and at the endof the first half they led, 16 to .0.However, the Varsity came back in thethird quarter and took the ball rightdown the field for a tou ch down, Thesam� kind of a procession followed onthe next kick-off but the Badgers heldon their one-yard line and Taylordropped back for a punt which wasblocked and recovered by Chicago onthe five-yard line. The first play againbrought the ball to the one-yard lineand again the Badgers held. The restI·�e-�:1.�t.... ()f the game was a comedy of errorson Chicago's part coupled with someluck on Wisconsin's, which netted theBadgers two more touchdowns. Possibilities are gene:rally not to be takeninto consideration in a football game,but the Maroon rooters who saw thatgame are convinced that the break inthe game came when the Badgers heldon their one-yard line for eight downs.Had Chicago scored, the score wouldnave been 16 to 14 and, although thereis no reason to believe that Chicagowould have scored again, there isnothing to make it certain that Wisconsin would have run up as big ascore as they did.Purdue Next Opponent.Purdue was next Oil the scheduleand they faced Chicago with the enviable record of haying held Illinois toa 14 to 7 victory the week before. Thefirst half ended 7 to 6 in favor of theBoilermakers and chere was considerable uneasiness in the stands whenthat 7 to 6 victory of Ohio State over!llinois, earlier in the season, was recalled. However. the Varsity cameback and added seven more points totheir total, and to make a good job ofit, Schafer was called upon to affixthree more points, which he straightway did. About this time the reportof the mini victory over Minnesotawas announced and the concrete standsrocked when they thought of the sadfate which surely must be Chicago'swhen they journeyed to Urbana a fortnight hence.Mter the Purdue victory, CoachStagg had just two weeks to prove tothe downtown sport writers that hewas not too old to coach and that during the summer of 1916 he had notforgotten all the football he had absorbed in twenty years.Hold Annual Alumni Dinner.Editorials have been written fromthnc to time expressing displeasure atthe vulgar methods of arousing student enthusiasm for athletic eventsbut none of them has attempted to disprove the method of instilling enthusiasm in the players themselves by theAlumni Banquet method. In view ofthis fact the banquet committee of theChicago Alumni club did not feel theywere running averse to public sentiment when they scheduled their football dinner for the week of the Illinoisgame.At that, it may be true that enforced student enthusiasm has no effect on the spirit of the team but wewould not care. to argue that the recalling by some battle scarred alumnusof the good old days when the menfought' does not have the proper effect on the team, especially when combined with those drills which Mr.Stagg offered the team despite President Wilson's eight hour day law.Few Expected Urbana Victory.There were few Chicago rooters whowent down to Urbana convinced thatZuppke was due for a tumble and con-Robert W.

Thosesame people who were financially interested in the outcome joined in thegloom when Chicago fumbled on thesecond p!ay on their own twenty-yardline. But Illinois could not gain andFisher kept Macomber ,from being ahero when he waded through thedownstate line to block a place kick.A punt by Agar, a fumble by Sterneman of Illinois, the recovery of thepunt, and a twenty-yard run by Captain Jackson spell the rout of the Illini. It is true that Graham tricked21 men on the field plus several officials and Qthers when he scooped apunt, which had bounded back andforth on the green for several minutes,and ran for a touchdown, but the Il-1ini were defeated before that. Theyhad lost hope when they did not scorefrom the twenty-yard line. They cannot be blamed, for had they notdowned Minnesota, the undisputedChampions of the Ccnference, just twoweeks before?Minnesota Game Was Lost.The Minnesota game a week laterclosed the season and afforded Maroonrooters an opportunity to see thegreatest machine in the west at work.49 to 0 was overwhelming but it represented the difference between a remarkable machine and a team composed of too many green men. On thesame day Northwestern and OhioState, the two undefeated teams of theConference, were playing for the BigNine title and Ohio won as they wereentitled to after downing Illinois andWisconsin.At the end of zhe season CaptainJackson was named on several of theAll-Conference selections and on EckersaU's All-Western team. Higginsand Fisher were the choices of mostcritics for the guard and center positions on the second All-Conferenceteam although the former receiveslmention on two first teams. FrankPershing was the choice of the sixteenmen who received "C's" for leader ofthe 1917 team. Besides Captain Jackson and Captain-elect Pershing the following men received their letters:Cahn, Brelos, Bondzinski, Fisher, Higgins, McPherson, Parker, Agar,Graham, Gordon, Hanisch,. Schafer,Norgren andFluegal.Nine Veterans Will Return.Of these men Graham, Higgins, Brelos, Norgren, McPherson, Bondzinski,Parker, Hanisch and Cahn will be backwith Captain Pershing next year. The.material from the freshman team isgood although it is scarce in good linemen. However, with Parker, Higgins,Brelos, McPherson, Bondzinski andGorgas to form a nuclues, there will beenough sophomores to fill the gaps leftby graduation. In the backfield, Captain Rouse, Myers, Grusch, Elton andTatge are the best of the 1920 players,and all of them are sure to push theregulars for their jobs, especially thefirst two mentioned. In addition it isto be hoped that Hal strom , the fonnerIllinois fullback, will be available for'.duty next year.

BLACKFRIARS SHOWRAPID ADVANCE INCAMPUS DRAMATICSWill Present Fourteenth AnnualComic Opera: in May-Richard Atwater Is AuthorNUMBER OF LYRICS ADVANCES·'Myth in Mandel" Takes AudienceFrom Declamation Contest toGreece-University Background.When the curtain rises on the firstperformance of ''The Myth in Mandel" next May, it will mark the opening' of the foutreenth annual. comicopera produced by the Blackfriars,an organization founded in 1904.The Order of Blackfriars was founded ·with the intention of presentingannually at the University an original comic opera, and this original intention bas been strictly adhered toduring the fourteen years of the order's existence.The fir�t officers of the order, orthe board of Superiors were: Abbot,Frank Adams; Prior, Halbert Blak-• £'y; Scribe, Walter Gregory; Hospitaller, Ovid Sellers .. In addition tothese men, there were ten othermembers of the order who assistedin the production of the first opera.Oddly enough, one of the first superiors, Ovid Sellers, the Hospitaller, recently returned to the University, and is now taking an advancedcourse in the Divinity schoolFrom this humble beginning, theBlackfriars have grown in numberuntil now there are 401 members, in·ieluding many faculty members, andmen who are famous iJl the businessworld, such as Harry Ford, abbot ofthe oj-der in 1905 and now presidentof the Saxon Motor Car company.Elected in Groups.Until 1915, men were elected intothe order in groups of seven, eitherthree 'or four groups being admitted,never more than twenty..eight menbeing elected during one year. In addition: to this restriction the men hadto qualify scholastically, and werechosen only when their attendance.. during rehearsals and general attitudeseemed to merit such an honor.In 1915, the rules were changed, andall restrictions on the number to beelected were removed, thus permittingany number of men who secured agrade of C during the Spring quarter,and were regular in attendance at rehearsals, to be admitted to the order,This ruling has been superseded by theamendments to the Blackfriar constitution which were ,passed this week.These amendments, which refer toqualifications for membership, go backto the original method of electing alimited number of twenty-eight, whomust make an average grade of C during the quarter in which the opera ispresented, and must be regular in attendance at rehearsals.A&gment Olficial Board.The Superiors for 1916-17 are: Abbot, Dunlap Clark, Prior, BernardNewman; Scribe, John Slifer; Hospitaller, Francis Broomell; and theFifth Member, an office added to thehoard a few years ago, is Robert Willet. Those who will manage the production of ''The Myth in Mandel" are:Sherman Cooper, manager; Carleton'Adams, costumes; Stanley Black,properties; Frank Breckinridge, publicity; Goodell Crawford, chorus-master; George Martin, score; Paul Willet, assistant properties; NormanDuehring, assistant costumes; HarryMcCosh, assistant publicity.Richard Atwater, an assistant in thedepartment of Greek, is the author o�"The Myth in Mandel," the comic opera to be produced the coming springquarter. The aleflteiaVTt. g .... m mmquarter. The alliterative title is anattribute which is characteristic ofBlackfriars productions, some of theoperas of other years having such headings as "The Rushing of Raxes,"'·The Lyrical Liar," "Sure EnouJthSegregation," "Capturing Calypso,""The Pranks of Paprika," arid "TheRhenish Romance." Since 1904, butone opera, "The Sign' of the DoubleEagle," produced in 1908, has Jacked�lliteration in its title.Has Many Lyrics.Mr. Atwater's work is unusual inthat it contains twenty-three lyric�, alarge number. Last year's play, "TheRhenish Romance" was so lacking inthis respect that a special lyrical contest was necessary in order to secureenough songs. The music contest thisyear was opened last Tueday, this enabling contestants to work on the lyrics during the Christmas vacation.The plot of "The Myth in Mandel"is replete with local color. The chiefcharacter is a young athlete attending the University of Chicago, knownas "Kewpie" Durham. He is conceited and self-satisfied. A declamationcontest on the subject of "AncientGreece" is being held at the U niversity, with a scholarship as a prize, andalthough he is totally ignorant of the topic, "Kewpie," confident in his oratorical powers, enters the contest.The material for his speech he secures from a friend who has tudiedthe subject, and atter listening to afew descriptions of ancient Greciancharacters, such as Helen of Troy,Achilles, Ulysses, etc., he considershimself sufficiently well prepared todeliver an' oration on the subject.Take Mental Journey.In the first words of his speech delivered before the ether contestantsand the judges, he asks that his listeners accompany him in a mentaljourney back to the days of ancientGreece. All the action in the play upto this point takes place in front ofthe curtain on the stage of Mandel,but as "Kcwpie" begins his speechwith this exhortation, the curtainrises, and the stage of l\hndel is revealed, adorned with Grecian scenery.representing the University of Athensin 1917 B.

T'he association has superintended the work ofthe women in the Prisoner of ,Warfund campaign, 'having collected todate three hundred dollars from University women, and has, through itsSocial Service committee; suppliedeighty-five positions in various settlements throughout the city.Feeling that a lack of personal acquaintance exists between women ofthe freshman class, and betweenfreshmen and upperclass women, theLeague has directed much effort during the past quarter to making possible more intimate relations betweenthe women.

So far his effortshave been crowned with success.The usual meeting that opens the activity of the year is a meeting of mutual condolences, in which the president, the secretary and the businessmanager bewail the fact that the management of toe year before left nothing but debts 'behind them. However, the initial meeting of the Autumn quarter th'is year was a sessionat which: plans were made for a banner, not a flagging year, with, a constructive program of novelties.The preliminary tryouts weregiven a considerable amount of advertising, with the flattering resultthat more than thirty candidatessought associate membership. After preliminary tryouts before facultyjudges, and final tryouts before the -active membership of the club, eleven contestants were elected associate members. The additions were:Ruth Mallory, Emily Taft, DorothyMullen, Nellie "Bauman, HirthaBaumgartner, Isabel Fink, WinifredWard, Hammond Birks, Gordon VanlGrk, Preston Tupper and GlennMillard.Select Three Plays.After the tryouts work was begunimmediately upon the choice ofplays for the Autumn presentation..The Play committee was composedof P-resident Gendron, Jeanette Regent, Dorothy Fay and Arthur Baer.Three one-act plays were necessaryfor production. After consultationwith members of the faculty and various students interested in thedrama, three sketches were finaliy:,selected. The plays were: "Back of,the Yards," :by Kenneth Sawyer. Goodman; "The 'Man tin the Stalls,"by Alfred Sutro ; and "Indian Summer," by :Meihlac and Halevy, translated from the French by BarrettClark, a former president of the club.The usual discomforts of finding asuitable place and, time for the presentation came in order; but the finaldecision went forth that the playswould be given Friday, Dec. 8, inMandel. This was the first time inthe history "Of the organization thatan attempt was made .to fill M.�:ide,hall by invitation.
