UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH I, 1922 Price 5 CentsNORGREN SPEEDSUP MAROONS FORGAME AT URBANAVarsity Five Has Three MoreTough Clashes onScheduleTWO TILTS AWAY FROM HOMEJudging from the brand of basket¬ball displayed in Saturday’s clashwith the Gophers, one would concludethat the Maroons have found them¬selves again, and will prove a sourceof considerable trouble to the two re¬maining teams on the schedule.Although the Varsity has failed towin a single Big Ten game away fromBartlett this season, it has shown thatit has the ability to win from thestrongest teams in the Conference onthe home floor. Two of the remain¬ing three games are away from home,Norgren’s five meeting Illinois at Ur-bana, and Wisconsin at Madison, andclosing the season with the Badgersas the opponents in Bartlett.M eet lllini SaturdaySaturday’s game with the lllini isa hard one to figure out. In the Ma-roon-Illinois clash in Bartlett, theVarsity quintet romped home with avictory, and since then the lllini havewon some neat battles and sufferedsome severe defeats.If the Varsity can overcome thejinx which seems to follow them whenaway from the home court, and ifthey can display anywhere near thefight they showed in the previous en¬counter with the downstaters, CoachWinters 'aggregation will find thegoing tough.Show Fight Against GophersThe spirit the Maroons displayedin the last half of the Minnesotagame was indeed gratifying to thefans who witnessed the struggle.Everything depends on the fightingability of the men in the three re¬maining games on the schedule, forif they stage the battles they are cap¬able of staging, Illinois and Wiscon¬sin are in for trimmings.The handling of the ball in Satur¬day’s battle was the best seen sincethe hectic affair with the “fightinglllini.” Each man was in his properplace when the Varsity offense swunginto action, and the Gopher guardshad their hands full trying to stopthe onrushes of the Maroons.Coach Norgren PleasedCoach “Nels” Norgren was wellpleased with the showing of his menagainst Minnesota, and advanced theinformation that he expected them tofare well in their games with the Bad¬gers and the lllini. The Maroons havea good chance to climb a little in theBig Ten standing, and they are de¬termined to finish the season abovethe .500 mark.Next Saturday the Varsity five willembark for Urbana, where they takeon the lllini in the second encounterbetween the two teams this season.The downstaters will be out to avengethe humiliating defeat handed themby the Maroons earlier in the year,and a savage battle should result.Two Games with BadgersAfter the Illinois game the Varsitywill prepare to close its season witha two game series against the Card¬inals.

EnglishYesterday at exactly 12:55 twowoofs and a growl precipitated a dogfight which threw the Reynolds clubinto consternation, broke up eightpool and billiard games, and sent twohundred valient students scurryingfor safety.The “Beta” German police dog wasintroduced to the “Delta” hull dog atthe cigar stand. At first relationsproceeded amicably enough. Then thebull called the police dog a Hun indog Latin. Hot words followed, andthe bull started it off with a left tothe face. The “Beta” followed with avicious attempt to bite out his rival’seye. Dust rose and hid the retreat offour well known students. These menfound refuge behind the scenes onthe theater stage and were with dif¬ficulty persuaded to return to thebattlefield an hour later.The combatants were pulled apartafter several very satisfactory roundshad been fought and the Reynoldsclub returned to its usual atmosphereof peace and quietude. After by¬standers had pulled enough hair tostuff a mattress from the bull dog’smouth the fight was declared a draw.FAMOUS HOSTELRYAND BAND HIREDFOR JUNIOR PROMCooper-Carlton and Darling sFive Secured for FirstAnnual Hop“Gain by experience” is the mottoof the Junior class social committee.With two Proms to guide them, theycan not go wrong, according to theirchairman, Harold Lewis, who saidyesterday in an interview that thisProm would “combine the remarkablequalities of the famous brother,Washington, the glittering plans ofthe Frosh-Soph, with the splendor ofthe Cooper-Carlton, the soft breezesof Lake Michigan, and the music ofa Darling orchestra.”“Yes," continued the chairman, “wehave actually engaged the Darlingfive-piece orchestra, with GeorgeDarling himself. This was possible,of course, at an enormous cost. Darl¬ing’s five Black Brothers have beencompeting with the Six Browns eversince saxaphones were heard of. ThenMr. Cooper himself has ordered at astaggering figure, special U. of C.seals for the bell hops’ buttons, whileMr. Carlton will collect tickets.”“As it is to be a candle-light af¬fair, it is bound to be a blow-out. Al¬though we juniors are giving the af¬fair, we realize that it is going to bethe greatest prom in history, so forthis reason the doors will be thrownopen to the seniors. In other words,it will be a Senior College Prom.”The committee on food says thatparkerhouse rolls will not feature inthe menu, hut a repast fitting and fill¬ing is assured. The ticket committeesays that tickets will be available atthe Cap and Gown and Maroon of¬fices, and from almost any junior onthe campus.

Leiber was employed as aspecial watchman here. The greaterpart of his work was carried on Sun¬days and holidays. He was also em¬ployed as a glazier, and according tothe Buildings and Grounds Depart¬ment must have visited more than ahundred rooms about the quadrangle.-,in this capacity, during the pastmonth.Only One Overcoat FoundOnly one overcoat was found inLeiber’s home.

He has no time to attendpublic lectures, no matter how im¬portant the speaker is; he pays littleattention to current events; he ig¬nores he daily paper as he does alsostandard literature, except as pre¬scribed in his courses.To put it the way a certain collegeprofessor did: “The college studentis characterized by a fine and loftyindifference to everything outside hisown personal affairs and the activ¬ities of his own college campus.”This state of apathy in which uni¬versity students have viewed nationalproblems has long been in need of at¬tention. To keep acquainted withworld conditions and qustions is al¬most essential for a student as it isto prepare his college lessons. TheUniversity is merely one means ofcorrctly adapting oneself for laterlife; keeping abreast of the times,though not so academic, is another.If the undergraduate ignores the lat¬ter method, his entry into the worldof practical affairs will be a realtive-ly harder task. He will be forced tospend a period of uncertain length inpicking up the threads of currenthappenings, when a keener interestin his earlier days would have kepthim up to date.RADIO TRACK MEETSFor many years there has been aBig Ton Conference rule which statesthat freshmen of one institution cannot compete against freshmen of an¬other college in athletic meets of anykinds. In all probability this regu¬lation was designed to prevent meretransient students who only expectto remain at a university a shortlength of time, from competing at all.And in this respect the rule is a goodone.But it seems that some incentiveshould be given to first-year athletesif they are to compete in Freshmanathletics with any amount of enthus¬iasm. It is not enough that they actas mere practice material for theVarsity. For around them the Vars¬ity will be built the next year and thesooner they are trained, the better.Recently two Conference Freshmantrack teams evaded this rule in anapparently legitimate and most in¬genious way. They telegraphed toeach other, the times made by themembers of each team. Thus realcompetition was given each man.Radio track and swimming meetshave often been held in the east andother parts of the country and haveworked out well. Although they areyet an experiment, it might be worthwhile to try them here and preparethe freshmen on a sounder basis.NORGREN SPEEDS UP MAROONSFOR GAME AT URBAN A(Continued from Page 1)with the leaders in the race, and willbe a hard team to conquer.The first game with the Badgers isscheduled for March 8 at Madison,and on the following Saturday thetwo teams will close the season inBartlett.

That ComptonMackenzie, who in 1912 could writesuch a novel as his magnificent “Car¬nival,” should sink in 1922 to the ob¬vious humor and puerile banalities ofRICH RELATIVES (Harper), is, itseems to me, downright tragic. Thereis a good deal of humor in “Rich Rel¬atives.” There is a good deal ofpleasant action. There is a good dealof amusing sentiment. But, in anylarger view, “Rich Relatives” is nomore than the veriest piffle—and itis tragic, as 1 say, that ComptonMackenzie should descend to piffle.“Rich Relatives” compare to “Carni¬val” and “Sinister Street” as a slight¬ly sour cream-puff compares to goodbeef-steak.ENGLISH HUMORIt has been said that American hu¬mor is the humor of exaggeration,and that English humor, on the con-trary, is the humor of under-state¬ment. This theory is borne out verywell by LITTLE RAYS OK MOON¬SHINE (Knopft), by one of the ed¬itors of Punch, A. 1*. Herbert.The papers in this little book, un¬even as they undoubtedly are, illus¬trate beautifully this English humorof under-statement. Mr. Herberthints quizzically, and lets you do (herest. That “rest,” in many cases, issynonymous with laughter. Suchtrifles as “Wrong Numbers,” an an¬alysis of a fantastic telephone game,and “The Art of Drawing,” a manualwith illustrations, are funnier, Ithink, than any such typical Amer¬ican humor as the stuff in Benchley’s“Of All Th*ngs.” Only an English¬man could make such an utter ass ofhimself in print—and get away withit. I serve formal notice that if someAmerican magazine like Life or Van¬ity Fair manages to steal Mr. Herb¬ert from Punch, its circulation will goup one point at least.A NOVEL OF IOWA The “Back-to-the-soil” movement incurrent fiction is assuming alarmingproportions. We have had recently,among others, “My Antonia” and“Growth of the Soil,” “Maria Chapde-laine” and “Dust”—all of them at¬tempts at presenting life in its moreprimeval aspects. Calico and hay¬stacks, just now, are strictly commeil faut. A dingy middle western smalltown is almost as fashionable for lit¬erary purposes as Kensington or May-fair. And now the farm—that mostprimitive of communities—enters thelists and becomes background for fic¬tion—in VANDER MARK’S FOLLY(Bobbs), by Herbert Quick.This book is built up on one of thesoundest ideas an American novelistcould well conceive. Briefly, it is thestory of the evolution of an Iowatownship—its history from the com¬ing of the first settlers to the finalachievement of some modicum of civ¬ilization. A Dutch boy named Van-dermark is one of the pioneers; hegrows with the township and becomesa prosperous farmer; then, in old age,he sets down his memories. This, asI say, is a thoroughly respectablebasis for serious fiction—an indigen¬ously American theme out of whichcould easily spring a great novel.But “Vandermark’s Folly,” unfor¬tunately, is not a great novel.

(Special).—Bat¬tling Cole knocked Kid Stahr for agool in the sixth round of their sched¬uled forty-round affair held last nightat the Bartlett Arcade. A crowd ofthirty-one seniors and eighteen jun¬iors saw the affair. The contest wasfought under Marquis of Gooseberryrules.Cole was in poor shape at the startdue to his having broken training onFob. 21 and also having eaten a num¬ber of Senior dinners. Kid Stahrnearly looped him in the first roundwith a free throw, but Cole took timeout and was revived by the applause.In the second round Cole broke theice with a crashing fall and a momentlater Stahr took the air for a cigar¬ette. Cole fainted but Stahr failedto notice and missed a good chance.The end came suddenly and dram¬atically after both men had stalledfor time for four rounds.
