TheIowans were defeated in the firstgame, 22 to 15, and have to win theirfirst Conference game. Saturday night,the Varsity will meet the Ames quintet, of the Missouri Valley Conference, at Ames, Ia.Despite the fast that Iowa has notwon a contest this season, Coach Pageis not counting upon an easy victory.I Some of the Hawkeye defeats can be,.attributed to Captain Bannick's 'absence from the lineup, but reportsfrom Iowa City indicate that he hasreturned to the game. Bannick iseasily one of the best floor men inthe Conference, and the lack of a satisfactory running' mate for him hashandimapped the team all season. Inthe Northwestern-Iowa game. Duncan,replaced Laun near the end of the con-'test and the improvement of his team'soffensive was notable. Since that timeIowa has not played a Conference. game. It is quite likely that he willstart at the other forward tomorrownight, and if he plays up to the standard he set in the Purple. fontest, theHawkeyes should put up a hard battle.Substitutes are Crippled.On the other hand Coach Page willbe forced to rely upon a crippledsquad. His first string lineup is inperfect condition but his list of substitutes was considerably reduced durng this week when Bondy suffered aninjured knee, Rudolph's illness was diagnesed as appendicitis, and Clarkwas forced to drop practice for a fewdays. This flock of incapacitatedleaves the team without an experienced substitute in case of an injury to aregular.In the contest tomorrow night, Parker will be shifted back to his old jobat forward and Clark will be given achance to recover. The regular lineupwith Bent at the other forward, Gorgas at center, and Captain Townleyand Rothermel at guards, will facethe Iowans. In tlle contest at Ames,Saturday nigl)t,' Page relied upon hisreserve lineup but with three men onthe hospital list, it is likely that someof the regulars 'Will be forced to play.NOTED PUBLISHER TOGIVE TALK TUESDAYWilliam W.

They make up for their individual minuteness by their collectivenumerousness. The newest of the "little theaters" finds lodgment this weekat the Playhouse--inevitable. It iscalled Stuart Walker's Vortmantcau,and includes under that caption astage .and a proscenium as well asplays and players. The Portrrsmteauproscenium is done in blue, and black,and gold, and a blue curtain spans arespace between the two sides, at eachof which there is an opening, ;lso curtained in blue. Through the latter theplayers make their exits and entranceswhen they are acting what Mr. Walkercalls "interludes." When they actlarger plays, the blue curtain is drawnaside, and the full stage is used.The Portmanteau is like the WaShington Square company in that it directs its attention to short plays. Butthe Portmanteau plays are not realistic. Tehy are all "special"-fantastic, whimsical, symbolical, historically curious, and so farth. Thus anair of preciosity--dear to DramaLearruers-e-pervades the Portmanteauproductions. Lord Dunsany-also dearto Drama Leaguers-s-is Mr. Walker/spiece de resistance this season. Theplays of this brilliant artificer thePortmanteau doles out in rather meagre portions of one, or a� the mosttwo. at each performance.Little theaters--in earnestness andgood faith-frequently err in their selection of plays. This is not, I think,an all-important matter, lor the idealutility of these tiny repertory companies is to raise an avowedly art-forart's-sake voice in an art-for-money'ssake wilderness. This end they accomplish even if their productionshave the interest only of bizarrerie.However, what is important practically is the influence which little theaters can bring to bear in the mz tterof stage-lighting and setting. Someof the most artistic work' in both thesefundamental branches of stage technique has been seen on the stages oftheaters like the Chicago Little, andthe Boston Toy.Mr. Walker's first program, which isthe only one I have had the opportunity to see, has �tet decorativethan dramatic interest. Mr. Walkerhas laid too much stress on Mr. Walker. Two entire plays and a half ofa third are his. I do not mean todisparage Mr. Walker's playwritingability. I mean rather to point outthat while his little "interludes" arewell enough, one at least might reasonably have been omitted from theopening bill to the Inclusion of Somemore important item in the repertory."The Birthday of the' Infanta,"with which the program opened,. hal:been drawn by Mr. Walker from astory by Oscar Wilde. It recounts howon the Infanta's birthday, a young butugly and deformed "fantastic" wassummoned to amuse her. The fantastic sang"and danced, and won the Infanta's favor, and she tossed him awhite rose. Left alone, the fantasticdreamed ecstatically of running awaywith the little princess. But he chanced-for the first , time--to look into amirror, and-for the first time--penetrated the secret of his life-woe.I am not familiar with Wilde'sstory, but the idea of the play is better than the words into which it hasbeen put. It is attractievly set. Nanc1Winston played expertly as the Infanta, and George Kelly as the crippled jester just missed being rarelyappealing. The others acted as wehave learned to expect semi-profes.sional players to act-with reticenceand insufficient intuitive mastery ofthe lines.The next two plays were !\Ir. Walker's interludes. In both, Mr. Gregory Kelly appears as a boy, simulating youth with the ease of one whohas not attained a very great age.Incidentally most of the acting on themale side of the Portmanteau pro-'gram is entrusted to Mr. Kelly, who,to judge by his performance at theopening, is a 'youngster of some prum-THE PORTMANTEA u IS WITH US DELTA UPSILON HOUSEIS UNDER QUARANTINERoger Pratt Contracts Scarlet Fever-Thirteen Men Are Confinedby University Authorities.A case of scarlet Iev er among thcinmates of the Delta epsilon fraternity house, 5747 Blackstone avenue,has cau-sed the University medical aurhcritics to p lace a (Illarantine on allthe students in the house at the timeof the discovers: oi the contagion.Roger Pratt, a freshman from PauPall, I1inois, is ill with tht.' disease.He has hccu removed to a n »rt'h-sidehospital by his physician.Thirteen member,s of the fraternityare quarantined, and they will 110t beallowed to attend classes for an indefinite period.

Nancy Winston is "a girl" in'"Nevertheless," and McKay Morris is'a burglar." The whimsy turns on theintrinsic funniness of the word 'nevertheless." In "The Very Naked Boy,"which is the second of Walker's plays,l\1ary Coates is "She," and FreemanWood is "He." The idea is a nakedyoung brother ensconced behind curtains, eavesdropping upon a marriageproposal tendered his sister.The last play was Lord Dunsany's"King Argimenes and the UnknownWarrior." The two settings, the slavefields and the throne-halls, were admirably imagined, and the costumesworn in the latter were richly colorful. The lighting throughout was interesting if not especially subtle."King Argimenes" is hardly thebest of Dunsany's plays, and provesmore effective in print than in performance. Despite the finely atmospheric background which Mr. Walkerhas created, the charm of the play isappreciably lessened outside the printed page. This is owing in part at leastto the incumbent of the part of theKing, whose reading is violent andlargely haphazard.

Noe. "There is a parallel casein history when a similar guarantywas exacted, and its solution wasfound. When Hungary concludedpeace with Austria in 1867 she wantedto protect, herself against a possiblecoup d' etat of the Austrian bureaucracy, and refused to conclude apact with the autocratic governmentof Austria. She insisted upon an introduction of a constitutional government in the Austrian half of the monarchy, and was only willing to cq,ntract with the Parliament of Austria.A constitution was granted to Austsria and the pact was concluded withher and Austria."Could not the Ames be satisfiedif the pOWer to declare war would bevested in the German Reichstag? Theelement of surprise and in-cameralike decision would be eltmrnated.

After coveringa part of the distance in this way, heshipped his car on, and took the trainfor Chicago.Will Start Next Quarter.Classes under Major Bell Will startnext quarter although plans will probably be made which will enable students to enroll for the courses beforethat time. An announcement concerning this and other matters will probably be made within a few days. TheMajor said yesterday:"The United States government willsupply arms and equipment for theclasses although the �en must supplytheir own uniforms.' Enrollment inthe classes will be in no way compulsory as is the case in the statecolleges, and enrollment in a class doesnot place one under obligation to thegovernment. Tlre fact that a man istaking one of the military courses doesont make him liable to be called uponin case of war any more than anyoneelse. •To Have Reserve List."Men who complete the entirecourse in military training and. arerecommended by their instructor, willbe placed upon the reserve <lficeslist, and they may be called on in timeof war. Their rank as officers willdepend upon the ability which theyhave shown in the work, and uponthe recommendation of the instructor."At first we plan to take up onlyinfantry tactics but later as the enrollment justifies. it, we will branchout into the other lines of militaryscience such as the hospital service,signalling, and military engineering.At the present time the most important thing is that we secure a largeenrollment of students in the courses."Declin� to Talk on War.Major Bell declined to discuss theinternational situation as' he statedthat any expressions of opinion on thesubject from army officers werefrowned upon by the War department.He is sa graduate of West Point.WILL NOMINATE FORCOUNCIL TOMORROWTo Hold Class Meetings at ChapelPeriod in Kent-ElectionsNext Week.Nominations for the Undergraduate council will he made tomorrow at10:10 in Kent.

BILLINGS WRITESFOR ALUMNI MAGAZINEContains ACCOUDt of Lewis, FirstUniversity Man to be Killedin European War.Dr. Frank Billings has written' anarticle entitled "Is Chicago Ready Forthe New School of Medicine?" for theFebruary number of the Alumni magazine which will be issued today. Thesuccess of the University medicalschool campaign is, according to Dr.Billings, due in large part to years ofpreparation for such a step. He says:"We have heard it said that a similar plan for medical education andresearch could not be organized in anyether city in the Union; that medicalconditions in Chicago were uniqueand ready for this plan. What madeChicago ready? The answer is:Eighteen years of fundamental workby a group of people of Chicago interested in medical education and medical research. The cornerstone waslaid by President William Rainey Harper in 1898 when he made the affiliation with Rush medcal college."Other articles in the number are "Killed In Action," concerning thedeath of Major John Lewis, '95, thefirst University man, so far as isknown, to die in action in the presentwar, "President Judson To the Faculty," "The Chicago Alumnae Club,""The Central League Debaters,""Wireless Te]egraphy," by Carl Kinsley, and an article on Joseph Raycroft, '96, professor of Hygiene atPrinceton university.
