UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 8, 1922 Price 3 CentsMAROONS IN BIGTEN TUSSLE ATMADISON TONIGHTVarsity Five Closes SeasonWith Two Game SeriesAgainst BadgersBOTH TEAMS IN GREAT SHAPELAST NIGHT’S GYMNASTICSCOREChicago 1183 4/10Minnesota 1116 2/10The last week of tlie Big Ten bas¬ketball is at hand, and the Maroonsare facing perhaps the toughest seriesof their entire schedule. Two gamesare carded this week with the Bad¬gers, the first being staged tonight atMadison, and the two teams appear¬ing Saturday in Bartlett in the finaltussle of the year.Two cracker-jack tilts should result,as both teams are going great, andboth are primed for the series. Byreason of their thrilling victory overthe Illini at Urbana, the Maroons arefigured to give the Cardinals a hardbattle and should at least break evenin the two games to be staged.Varsity Hits StrideNorgren’s charges really came intotheir own Saturday at Urbana. Upuntil the playing of that game theVarsity five had dropped every gameaway from Bartlett, but against theIllini they demonstrated themselvesto be a powerful quintet, and one thatcan really play basketball even whenaway from home.To date the Maroons have brokeneven in the ten games they haveplayed. They are determined how¬ever, to capture both of the fraysfrom Wisconsin, ami thereby finishabove the ..r>00 mark when the finalstandings of the Big Ten season arecompiled.Badger Five is StrongWisconsin has a strong quintet,composed of some of the best playersin the Conference. Taylor, who playsa forward position, is one of the heavi¬est scorers in Big Ten circles, andthe Varsity five will have to devotemuch attention to him if his baskettossing is to be stopped. Besideshaving a keen eye for the basket, Tay¬lor also handles the free throw toss¬ing for the Badgers, caging a goodlypercentage of the 'shots from thecircle.Capt. Caesar, playing the other for¬ward position is another dangerousscorer, and a streak on the floor.He is a veteran basketball player andhas been playing a sensational gamethis year.(Continued on Page 2)PLAN TO ENTERTAINPREP BASKET FIVESON APRIL 5. 6, 7, 8Basketball teams representing thebest high school talent of the middlewest will compete in the annual in¬terscholastic tournament, to be heldon April 5, 6, 7, and 8, in Bartlettgymnasium. The executive commit¬tee board, in charge of the series, isplanning to give the prep athletesa big welcome and to entertain themroyally while they remain as guestsof the University.It is not yet known specifically whatteams will enroll for the tournamentInvitations have not been mailed out,due to the fact that many of thestate and city championship series instates contiguous to Illinois have notyet been played out. “Chuck” Mc¬Guire, chairman of the Invitationscommittee, announces that notifica¬tions of the dates will soon he sent.As soon as replies from these arereceived, a definite list of competingteams can he made, so that officialswill know just how many to provideaccomodations for. At present, about25 aggregations are anticipated. Itis planned that these shall be distribu¬ted, one to each fraternity . If pos¬sible, the fraternities will receive re¬muneration for the hoard of thesemen. Many state champions as wellas three or four city prep squadswill probably enroll for the contests. New W. A. A.

CURLEY LOCKEBobbed hair, the subject of moreyards of news matter than the recentWorld War, again claimed the at¬tention of the University when cam¬pus and off-campus authorities gavetheir opinions on the matter in specialstatements to The Daily Maroon yes¬terday.Tom Eck, coach of the Varsity team,declared in favor of bobbed hair for“smart girls—those who knew enoughto come in out of the rain and whodid not paint their lips too red.” Hesaid that wavy hair was the prere¬quisite for bobbed locks. Women withhair as straight as that of an Indianshould under no condition have theirhair bobbed.“There are some girls w'ho are notgood-looking whether their hair isbobbed or not,” he added. “My grand¬mothers lived to 95 and 96 withouthaving their tresses cut short.”"Doc” Bratfish Gives CommentOnly one out of a hundred womenlook well in bobbed hair is the conten¬tion of “Doc” Bratfish, Reynolds clubbarber. However, as far as laboi-saving, convenience and such mattersenter into thee question, every womanshould have their hair bobbed,” Viesaid. “The one out of a hundred wholooks good has a small, round, cuteface, with wavy hair.Mr. Harry Woodworth, propritor ofa children’s haircutting establishmentat 53d and Harper, claims that bobbedhair is as convenient to most womenas short skirts. His business whichformerly consisted in cutting only thehair of children under fifteen years,has change in form to such an extentthat he was forced to remove thetoys and dolls from his shop and sub¬stitute galosh racks for the “middle-aged” women wTho now frequent theformer sanctuary of the children.“The average age of my customersruns somewhere between six and sixtyyears,” he said.A special shop for bobbing hairmay be opened soon in Ida Noyes hallby “Doc” Bratfish, if the demand be¬comes gerat enough for his services,he declared yesterday.Hold Final Examson March 22, 23, 24Final exams will be given Wednes¬day, Thursday, and Friday, March22 to 24, according to the followingschedule:8 o’clock classes, Thursday, 8-10.9 o’clock classes, Friday, 8-10.10 o’clock classes, Wednesday, 8-10.11 o’clock classes, Wednesday, 2:30-4:30.12:30 o’clock classes, Friday. 2:30-4 :30.1 :30 o’clock classes, Thursday, 11-1.2:30 o’clock classes, Friday, 11-1.3:30 o’clock classes, Thursday, 2:30-4:30.4:30 o’clock classes, Wednesday,tl-1. UNIVERSITY DANCETO FOLLOW GAMESATURDAY NIGHTFive Piece Orchestra to Fur¬nish Music Until 1 1 inBartlettCOUNCIL SPONSORING AFFAIRArrangements have been completedfor an all-University dance in Bart¬lett to follow the Wisconsin-Chicagobasketball game Saturday night, ac¬cording to word received from theUndergraduate Council yesterday.The latter body is sponsoring the af¬fair and is in direct charge of itsmanagement.T h e dance Saturday will beginpromptly after the close of the gameand will continue until 11. Specialattention will be paid the floor in or¬der that it will be in the best condi¬tion for dancing. A five piece orches-tia has been engaged to furnish thenecessary musical accompaniment andwill respond to encores as long as theyare in demand. No particular pro¬gram of dances will be followed.Dance Revives Old CustomThe staging of the post-game hopmarks a revival of a custom whichexisted in the past and was discon-tinued last year because of the .influxof off-campus people who were notdesired at the University dances. Pro¬visions are being made to preventstrays from wandering into the danceafter the game.An additional feature of the gamewill be a 30 piece band led by Mr.Cragun which will furnish .^snappymusic before and during the contest.University songs as well as popularselections will be played and the bandwill be used throughout the game inconnection with an organized plar^ofcheering aimed toward the victorythat night.COMPLETION OF BOWLINGTOURNAMENT IS NEARYesterday the following scores weremade in the Interfraternity bowlingtournament:Chi Psi, 1; Phi Kap, 2.I). K. E., 3; Sig Chi, 0.The final games of the match wererolled last night, and the final stand¬ing of the teams*will be announcedtomorrow. All games that have beenpostponed must be played immediate¬ly, according to Walker Kennedy, orthe standings will remain as theyare.STUDENT SUPPORTOF WILSON FUNDNEGLIGIBLE HEREAlthough other universities and col¬leges all over th ecountry are enthusi¬astically backing the movement toestablish a Woodrow Wilson founda¬tion from which a yearly cash prizewill be given to the citizen of theUnited States who makes the great¬est contribution to science, art, orliterature, the local drive for fundsseems to be lagging. Only aboutsixty-five turned out for the meetingat which Profs. Dodd, Matthews, andMerriain spoke last week. This show¬ing is very poor in comparison withthe records made at other schools.At Princeton, where Mr. Wilson*was formerly president, over half thestudent body has contributed to thefund, and Mount Holyoke college hassubscribed $200. Swarthmore’s con¬tribution was $100 and the Universityof Oklahoma sent $300. Money hasalso been received from Pomona col¬lege, California, ami Cornell and Har¬vard are conducting drives.

News EditorMary Hayes Woman's EditorArvid Lunde Athletics EditorBartlett Cormack Dramatic EditorHarry Bird Feature EditorLeonard Weil Associate EditorWednesday, March 8, 1922MAKING MORE VOTEA very small percentage of under¬graduates voted for class officers thisyear. Only 91 freshman handed inballots for the Council and HonorCommission elections, the smallestnumber in many years although thefirst-year class is larger than everbefore. This is a condition that mustbe remedied before any further elec¬tions Occur.To get more students out for elec¬tions, The Daily Maroon olfers thefollowing suggestions:1. Eliminate the present system ofcompulsory registration, or change itso that students are given severalchances to register.2. Give more widespread publicityto elections. Announcement of thedays and hours of nominations andelections should be made at least aweek beforehand through The DailyMaroon, on campus bulletin boards, inChapel, in class rooms, in WeeklyCalendar and in fraternity houses.3. Permit candidates to give pre¬election talks in Chapel where every¬one is bound to hear them.If students are continually madeaware of elections, if wherever theygo they are reminded to cast theirballots, there is no doubt that a great¬er number of them will take advan¬tage of their franchise.TUNE UP YOUR CULTUREfine of the main purposes of theUniversity, we are told, is to developculture and an appreciation of theaesthetic. To this end, courses aregiven, clubs are encouraged, concertsare arranged. All manner of cultureis set upon the show tables in a mani¬festly appetizing form. Students areurged to partake. But the studentsits back enveloped in an armchairand a cynical smile, and refuses tojoin in. He forgets his raison d’etrant,and lets slide all the means of satis¬fying his desire tq come to the Uni¬versity. The most flagrant instanceof this state of lackadaisicalness atthe present time deals with the lackof support for all things musical onthe campus. Sings, concerts, gleeclubs, all get far too little support.So the Federation is to be commendedfor the subject of its open councilmeeting. May it bear fruit in theform of further interest on the part ofUniversity men and women.MAROONS IN BIG TENTUSSLE AT MADISON TONIGHT(Continued from page 1) ASCHER’SFROLIC THEATRE55th St. and Ellis Ave.THURSDAY, FRIDAY, MARCH 9-10Fear made Her a creature of the night, but Her inno¬cence and Her Faith made Her the instrument of Justice.It is a strong, pulsing story of a big City of Today—of people you know—a Triumph of Right, a Victoryfor God over Evil.With the remarkable Cast including Lon Chaney of“The Penalty” fame, Cullen Landis, Lentis Joy, JohnBowers, Betty Schade, "Lefty” Flynn, Richard Tucker,and 5000 others.Le Roy Scott’sTHE NIGHT ROSEBadger Grid Stars to PlaySeveral members of the Badgerfootball team which gave the men ofStagg such a battle in the closinggame of the 1921 grid season, arestarring on the Badger five. RollieWilliams, the flashy Cardinal quarter¬back, plays a guard on Coach Mean-well’s basket quintet, and is one of thefastest men on the team. Againstthe Gophers Williams turned in awonderful exhibition of passing andhandling the ball.Tebell and Gibson, both Badger gridstars, are also regulars on the five.Tebell performs at guard along withWilliams, while Gibson holds downthe center job. All of these men arestars and fit perfectly into Meanwell’sfast short passing game. The Badgercoach has developed one of his typicalshort passing teams and the men han¬dle the ball accurately.Maroons Must Stop PassingTo win from the Wisconsin five, theVarsity must halt this passing gameof the Badgers. Coach Norgren iswell versed in the Wisconsin styleof play and has given his men stiffdrills in preparation for the game.The same Maroon five which tri¬umphed over the Ill ini quintet willperform againt the Badgers tonight. Yardley will play center, with Capt.Halladay and Dickson at the forwardsand Romney and McGuire at theguards.

V’i*a4 LITERARY LEADERSThe Latest Books ReviewedBy JOHN GUNTHERFITZGERALD’S PARADISE LOSTNo matter what this reviewer orany other reviewer says of Scott Fitz¬gerald’s THE BEAUTIFUL ANDDAMNED (Scribner), his first novelsince “This Side of Paradise”, the suc¬cess of the book can hardly be im¬paired. Jt is almost certain to be thebig novel of the spring. A Scribnerman says that it has had the largestadvance sale of any Scribner book infifteen y ears. Every flapper andevery grandmother will perforce bebound to read it. And hence it mat¬ters little if a reviewer carps and criti¬cizes; I can spit on my hands and divein with impunity.“The Beautiful and Damned”, let itbe said first of all, was very badly cutwhen it ran as a serial in the Metro¬politan. At least a fifth of toe talemust have been excised. I recommendthat anyone who glanced at it in theMetropolitan and was dissatisfied,read it again in book form as a co¬herent whole; one is pretty sure toarise with a far better and a far jus-ter opinion of the book.“The Beautiful and Damned” is ina way a sort of continuation of “ThisSide of Paradise”. No character inthe former book appears in the newone , but there is nevertheless a verydefinite relationship. “This Side ofParadise” considered the college ex¬periences of a young man; “The Beau¬tiful and Damned” takes an analagousyoung man from his graduation fromHarvard to marriage, war, and th3age of thirty-five.Anthony Patch is a wealthy andsophisticated youngster, politelybored with life, and burdened with apresumable inheritance of thirty mil¬lion dollars and Gloria, a very beauti¬ful young wife. The book is a studyof Anthony and Gloria, of their pro¬gressive deterioration, and of the gin-soaked atmosphere in which they live.Little by little what will and self-re¬spect Anthony possessed wilts and de¬cays; little by ittle he is changed froma youth of agreeable cynico-sophisti-cation to a most insufferable cad.Drink becomes his main and only oc¬cupation. “The Beautiful and Dam¬ned” is more unbearably thirsty read¬ing than a Haig and Haig catalog 10.The ink fairly oozes off the pag?sIf one picked up the book and squeez¬ed it, gin would probably drip off milittle rivulets. One acquires a mentalhangover merely from reading. Andat the end, Anthony and Gloria gettheir thirty million, and we leavethem on shipboard, bound for Italy,and, presumably delirium tremens.There is no doubt of the surfacebrilliance of “The Beautiful andDamned”, although it lacks the inso¬lent youthful sparkle of “This Sideof Paradise.” And there can be littledoubt of the efficacy of several depth-charges in the book. My quarrelwith it is that there seems no reasonfor it; why on earth devote 410 closelyprinted pages to the drunken adven¬tures of a misanthropic cad ? itz-gerald’s plea would be that his atti¬tude is ironic; but it seems to me thatif he inteded irony he has failedmiserably. There is little satire inthe book. Fitzgerald is sympatheticutterly to Anthony. Which is some¬thing like being sympathetic to 'awart- hog.There remains the highly interest¬ing question of Mr. Francis ScottKey Fitzgerald’s future. He has nowachieved the age of twenty-four, withthree books to his credit, and a fourthannounced for publication soon. Whatit Mr. Fitzgerald going to do with hisindubitable talent? Well, as to that—let us hope.CKOME YELLOWIt is instructive to compare a youngAmerican revoltee like Mr. Fitzgeraldwith a young Englishman like Aldo1 sHuxley. Where Mr. Fitzgerald, in wTm-mj:HU5K"D’hnRE HPRRI5DN ID3F1U5IC 5ENTERTMNF1ENTNIGHT PHONE AUSTIN 3SI7 5UPER*DRCHESTRnS■ ■ ■ ■ ■his more unfortunate moments, iscocky and ebullient and gaudy, Mr.Huxley, with the shade of his grand¬father Thomas watching him, is suaveand polished and perfectly sophisti¬cated. Both men are doing about th>same thing; writing novels of man¬ners concerning the new generation.But what a difference! Instead fFitzgerald’s often self conscious cle/-erness—Mr. Huxley uses suave irony.Instead of riotous pseudo-sophistica¬tion—real wit. Instead of wildhodge-podge of phrases—style.Mr. Huxley is not guilty of mis¬spelling when he calls his new novelCROME YELLOW (Doran), andleaves the traditional “h” out cf“Chrome”. “Crome” is the countryhome of the Winbushes; the “Yellow”,I suppose, refers to the cover, whichis blindingly jaundiced. Young DenisStone, poet, comes to Crome for a fewweek’s stay; the story concerns hisrelations with members of a typicalEnglish house-party group. There isno plot; there is no story, for thatmatter. No novel could be more com¬pletely formless. Several episodes,taken out, would make very respect¬able short stories. There is no morethan witty talk, occasional amatorydalliances, delicate impingements ofcharacter on character, and the simi¬lar ingredients of the fashionable ul¬tra-modern English novel.And just this, curiously, is morethan enough to make “Crome Yellow”a highly satisfying novel and some¬thing of a work of art. Without anyred blood in it, it manages to achievesome vitality—a vitality, to be sure,of a delicate and precious sort. It isso beautifully sophisticated and so un¬obtrusively clever that it justifiesitself if only as a tour de force. Itsays nothing at all—and says it verywell indeed.ESSAYS ON BOOKSWhat do you think when you opena volume of essays and find that thefirst two papers deal with—Shake¬speare? Probably, unless you are ofstern will, you hide the book behindthe piano. And in some cases youmay err in doing so. For in ESSAYSON BOOKS (Dutton), by ArthurClutton Brock, the first two essaysdeal with Shakespeare—and they ac¬tually say something new. Mr. Brockis sane and solid—and never brilliant.There is a good deal to be said foran essayist who dares nowadays notto be brilliant—and who remains dis¬creet and analytical and sober. Thepapers in the book, and in a secondvolume, MORE ESSAYS ON BOOKSrange from Poe to Dostoevsky, andfrom Meredith back to George Her¬bert. One of Mr. Brock’s greatfriends and admirers, by the way, isthe Chicago poet, Carl Sandburg.THE BEST STORIESThe indefatigable Mr. O’Briencomes forward yet again with his an¬nual plucking of short stories—THEBEST SHORT STORIES OF 1921(Small Maynard). The actors in Mr.O’Brien’s little stock company remainabout the same: Anderson, Gerould,Steele, Burt, Cobb, Hurst, et cie. Mostof the stories this year seem so in¬different that if they are actually the“best,” I should respectfully suggestthat Mr. O’Brien cease his labors forevermore. The best of the lot areperhaps a Rumanian study from the Dial by Konrad Bercoivici, and a sup¬erb ghost story by Vincent O’Sullivanfrom the Smart Set. A curious factmay be noted. The stories in thiscrop are all very long. In idle cu¬riosity I went through them and foundthat they average the incrediblelength of 9300 words.POLITICSWe draw the curtain with twobooks on politics: POLITICAL PROF¬ILES FROM BRITISH PUBLICLIFE (Houghton), by Herbert Side-botham, and Robert Lansing’s newbook, THE BIG FOUR AND OTH¬ERS OF THE PEACE CONFER¬ENCE. The Sidebotham book differsfrom the sketches of the “Mirrors”variety in being impersonal and ex¬ternal—the appraisals were done fromthe outside, from the press box, infact. Balfour, Lloyd George, As¬quith,, and the usual gang come in fortreatment. The most interestingchapter, perhaps, is the one describ¬ing the complicated relations of Brit¬ish Press and British Politics.Mr. Lansing’s new bool: is far bet¬ter than his “Peace Negotiations.”For one thing, it has less personalbias in it; for another, it deals withmore interesting material. Wilson,Clemenceau and company are present¬ed. The sketches are sprightly andpersonal, and they were written, ofcourse, absolutely from the inside.Your best bet — MaroonClassified Ads bring results.Try one today!

(Via Duct to the Whis¬tle).—Packy Combs, beerless Sopho¬more flyweight champion, took slug¬ger Lydon, Freshman white hope, foran excursion up the Cuckoo River inthe forty-ninth round of a finish frayhere tonight. The maulers pummeledeach other for two hours in the ter¬rific heat before Combs got throughfor a bandoline bruiser in the hair¬breadth finish.A regulation ring was used, pavedwith asphalt. After ten rounds of themix a deep track had been worn aboutthe edge where the wallopers hadbeen busy dodging each other. Bothmen were effective in dodging; in fact,Combs dodged so much he developeda severe side ache, which left himpractically useless for the Maroonequitation team. Both battlers willprobably be out for the season, al¬though whom they will be out withis a problem.Combs finished up the fray afterall the spectators had gone home, andthe referee was sound asleep.
