The Quaker quintet is composed of veterans who finished in second place in the Portland Interscholastic league last winter and have been going strong in practice this season. Losses Weaken Squad The yearlings are hot up to the standard set by last year’s Frosh and have yet to form a smooth work ing combination The squad was given a set-back when Wolf, a six footer whom Leslie was grooming for center, was declared ineligible because of scholastic deficiencies. “Chuck” Williams, who made a fine showing at guard against Commerce high, has dropped baafkctball, in favor of spring football. The probable starting line-up for Franklin includes Scales and Keen an as forwards, Sniderman at cen ter, and Kretzmeier and Houck as guards. Nice Shows Improvement For the Frosh, Potts and Robie! are expected to start as forwards, Clark at center, Coleman and Cheney as guards. Other first year men who may break into the line-up are Hat ton, Kashuba, Dowsett, Nice, and King. Nice has been, showing up well in practice and may be used as alternate for Clark in the tip off position. A return game will be played the Quakers in Portland next Thurs day. In other games on their road trip, the Frosh will meet Columbia university and the Washington Babes.

Oregon has survived 12 more oi less hectic encounters over a domaii ^ stretching from Salem, Oregon, tc San Jose, California, and has yet tc i fail to escort Lady Luck to hei lodgings. In these dozen tilts, Rein hart's hearties have tossed 527 points through the strings, and had no hand in 243 markers collected by the joint opposition. The Webfoots have averaged 43 points a game and had only a 20 average counted against them. To date, Idaho has played 23 games, not counting last night’s card with the Oregon Aggies, and has won 16 of them while losing seven. Idaho has netted 725 points and had 540 compiled against her. That total is far from as impressive as that of Oregon. Idaho was defeat ed, while in sunny California, by the Stockton Amiblers, 28 to 24, and Oregon had a lot of fun beating this same outfit, 35 to 25. Idaho beat Marysville, 41 to 28, while the ! Webfoots turned the same quintet ! away, 52 to 25. i ' - |Five New Plays Are Selected by Drama Director Rehearsal Will Start Monday With Two One Act Pieces Miss Florence E. Wilbur, director of drama, has in the past week se lected five plays and cast them from her sophomore and senior drama groups. A three-act comedy, “The Torehbearers,” by George Kelly; and two one-act plays, “The Tryst ing Place,” by Booth Tarkington, and “The Bobbery,” by Klare Cun mer, are now rehearsing. Two other one-act plays, a fantasy, “Every body’s Husband,” by Gilbert Can aan, and a tragedy, “Trifles,” by Susan Glaspell, will start rehearsal Monday. Miss Wilbur announces that the selection of these last two one-acts completes |her program, which will be staged sometime in February. “Everybody’s Husband” is a fas cinating little story of a young girl preparing for her wedding day. She had a dream, and its outcome, through trouble, finally reveals true happiness. The cast is ae follows: A Girl—Jov Ingalls. Her Mother—Sare Bennethum. Her Grandmother—Diana Deinin rer. Her Great-Grandmother—Frances EVardner. A Maid—Bernice Via. A Domino. j The play, “Trifles,” is a short ragedy wherein a woman’s curiosity ! instead of causing harm, undoes j vrong. The cast is as follows: George Henderson—Elmer Grimm. Henry Peters—Lawrence Shaw. Lewis Hale—Cecil Matson. Mrs. Peters—Grace Gardner. Mrs. Hale—Mrs. Assenheimer. 1 REX NOW!

G. Wells—The World of William Clissold. 2 vols. 797 pp. Mr. Wells prefaces this volume ivith a hearty disclaimer of auto biographical intent. But he pro ' tests too much. To be sure, Wil |Ham Clissold studies physics at the 1 royal institute; Wells studied ge ology. Clissold is a scientist turned 'man of affairs; Wells is a journ alist turned novelist and sage. Clis sold is married once legally, serious ly involved three times more, and confesses to a number of hitty missy affairs besides; while Wells— but the critic is not concerned with literary gossip. Wells Encores Himself In any event, Wells has really written a history of his own opin ions. He remakes the world in his own image once more; and partly the image is taken from his earlier i scientific romances, notably “The Time Machine” and “When the Sleeper Wakes”—and they were much finer specimens of the prose romancer’s art than this; and part ly he has derived the image from his transitional novels such as “The New Machiavelli;” and lastly he has borrowed from his sociological novels such as “Kipps” and “Joan and Peter.” There are echoes of all three manners here, and the blend is not very smooth. It will be re membered that Sir W. S. Gilbert, of Gilbert and Sullivan, wrote a swan song called “Utopia Limited” which was a hodge-podge of his earlier Sayoy operas. Wells has done something comparable in “Wil liam Clissold.” As it happens,, Queen Victoria is no longer alive to censure Wells as she did Gil bert. But I do not think that he will escape a drubbing from acuter literary wits than the great queen not because of his reflections on the British social scheme, but be cause this is an amorphous and un I digested mess of materials, a novel j only in name. # * * Wanted: Imagination Wells has used the method, though not the style, of the super realists who follow Joyce. He lias turned his hero's mind inside out. Clissold writes throughout in the first person. He is viewing his life in retrospect. He is slow in get ting under way, and mixes his ideals on social customs, fixture world polity, and the economic or ganizations of ^oeiety^ with the story of his life. Wells endows Clissold with an un distinguished, but adequate prose style, marked by_ no power of phrase whatever, and without any pretence to fine cadence. In fact, there is no evi dence that Wells held his ideas suspended in his mind, to let the imagination play upon them. He has talked before he thought. While after some 500 pages he gets down to business, there is a dreary waste for the reader before he really focuses. Social Ideas in the Novel It is not that I object to ideas in a novel. A. B. Walkley remarks that on the whole English plays are un-ideas; and he might have added, that many of the novels are in the same predicament. But one likes the ideas digested and well considered. Is it too much to ask that they be made integral part of the work of art? They should seem to come in naturally and inevitably, amd they should help to reveal character and motivate action. * * * Now in William Clissold these demands are not met. Clissold does not live his ideas. He dreams of an ideal woman: a sort of blue Other Players Work Equal Loss of Williams9 When the first call for football was sounded, Coach Leslie’s casaba artists received a severe jolt when “Chuck” Williams, star guard, don ned football togs for the annual spring grid limbering up process.

But in the end, after he is fifty, he picks up a bundle of the eternal feminine in the Bois de Boulogne and sets up rather light house-keeping in am out of the way corner of Provencal. Now in an ordinary frail mortal, this would seem quite in keeping. But it does not provide the prop er accompaniment for a gTeat Uto pian rhapsody. Would Not Captivate Radicals As a matter of fact, few radicals would be enraptured by Wells’ scheme for a Utopia. The Saviors of Society, who are to bring about a world economic order, are to be the Great Barons of Trade (Barons of the World Witenagemot, Wells calls them). While Clissold is dreaming of this milleninm, he re mains a good predatory executive, and associates with the Crests, the “hipjpoid” types of long, horse faced Norman gentry who act as a brake on the great industrials, and still draw royalties on the coal lands. Why Wells lias 'made such a volte face from his earlier mild Socialism, is hard to say. The Fabian society of course invited him to withdraw. And since he suffered acute discomforts in a Bolshevist hostelry, on his trip to Russia, he LAST CHANCE TO SEE with MILTON SELLS Wallace Beery Enid Bennett MATINEE AT 2 P. M. has been increasingly inclined to Christianize capitalism in his writ ing. How ho reconciles predatory profit-grabbing with Christian ethic, I must leave the reader to judge. Perhaps this inconsistency does not trouble Wells because he thinks of the world as a sort of flux, a continuum without continuity. Hia motto is the “Panta Rhel of Hera clitus. Everything changes—change alone is eternal. Just how he brings order into tho chaos, I am a little uncertain.
