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.

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.

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.

Coach Rob­inson, the Purple mentor, has neverfailed to turn out a winning team.Nnrthwestem had won three succes­sive swimming championships till lastyear when t.he Maroons held them to atie. Wisconsin and Illinois cannot beexpeeted to give the Maroons muchcompetition in dual meets, but individ­ual stars from these schools may havean important effect on the outcome of,the Conference meet which will beheld at Chicago, March 17.Gymnas\ic Competition Close.Competition among the gymnastic'teams will be the closest in years. TheVarsity squad, which lost to Wiscon-,sin last year by a close score, will pre­sent a greatly improved combinationthis season.

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.

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.
