Old BY TRUCK NO Sol Generates Cindei Path Enthusiasm STEAM ROOM DESERTED Meet Saturday Promises t( be Best Yet By W. S. A. No, it isn’t summer time yet: but the hot sun induced some of the track athletes to shed their warm ups and yesterday Coaeli Hayward was busy instructing a flock ol white-skinned prospects in the secrets of cinder path art. Even the pole vaulters have at last come out from their winter hibernation in the gymnasium to romp in the sunlight with the rest of the boys The warm sun even inspired that veteran of many seasons, Bill Hay ward, with the old spring unrest, He wasn’t satisfied with showing the boys their mistakes, but would put the shot, show the correct form in starting a sprint, and hurl the javalin, seemingly, not so much to demonstrate the points he was de sirous of making, as to unburden himself of that surplus energy which seems to generate from the sun these first spring days. Truly this is the time for the making of track teams. “King” Wilson Loses Trade Old “King” Wilson, who presides over the steam room, that place where charlie horses and buck shins and numerous other track complaints caused by cold weather and pre-season carelessness arc reno vated by hot towels anil vicious massaging, bemoaned his lonesome ness. Old Sol fried out tho men in tho natural course of afternoon events and a hot shower did tho rest. The King was loft alone in his steam-wreathed cavern with its in dividual odors of liniment and alco hol—but lie’ll have his revenge, for, according to statistics, winter isn't over yet. Yesterday some of the boys were given an opportunity to view a real walker going against time. Bert Beagle, who is working at one of the camps south of town, came in to have a conference with Coach Hayward concerning tho Olympic tryouts. Beagle was in the army tryouts for the Olympics in 1920; but through illness was unable to enter final competition, lie hopes to “make tho grade” this year and go across with the boys again/ This trip will be different than his last trip—which was with the signal corps, IT. 8. A. More Events May be Added If the weather holds, next Sat urday’s meet promises to bo tho best so far this season; the men I' are getting to the point in their training where they can extend themselves without fear of injury, and rivalry ami competition is nar rowing down from a horde of track | aspirants to a number in each event who are anxious to excel in their chosen sport. There will be four races and two field events in Sat t urday’s meet, at least; Bill says ’ ] that he may add another field event or two and perhaps one of the longer races. lie will decide later in the week. Those which will surely be run are: hurdles, 440, 660 and 100-yard dash, the two field events now listed are: broad jump and high jump. I ' _ TO BE.GIVEN IN MARCH Period Costumes Planned for Classical Comedy The date for tlie presentation Sheridan’s “School for Scandal” has been changed from February 22, 23 | and 24, to March 6, 7 and 8, an nounces the department of drama and the speech arts. The play will bo given at Guild hall by members of the senior company. Mr. Reddie is directing the play. The “School for Scandal” is a brilliant comedy of the eighteenth century; and is one of the most re nowned of classical comedies. It is a satirical picture of the society of that time, and as such, has a large cast. The cast includes Elizabeth Robinson, Wenona Dyer, Katherine Pinneo, Betty Belle Wise, Bernard McPhillips, Darrel Larsen, Dave Swanson, Virgil Mulkey, Gordon Wil son and Paul Krausse. The production of the play will be simple, in order that its original value as a classical comedy may not be ob scured by modern realism. Of special interest are the costumes which will be worn. These period costumes, and the quaint air of artificiality which pervades this famous old comedy will serve to make it of rather more than usual interest to campus playgoers. Fusfro’s “Tlio Two Virtues,” an extra planned by Mr. Reddie, in which Miss Banfield and Mr. Reddie will star, will bo produced some time in March. This is a modern comedy; a gentle satire on manners with humor ous situations, clever lines, a. good plot, and especially lovable old bach- ! (dor and a charming and mysterious' woman for tlio leading figures.
