Plot Hangs Upon Rumor that Crack
Runner Of Yale Track Team
Has Gone Stale
DRESSING ROOM SCENE GIVEN
In Wich Excitement Among Ath-
letes During Big Meet is Shown.
Twenty in Cast.

Arrangements have been complet-
ed whereby the homo talent play
For Old Eli" will be staged at the
Brinkman Theatre on next Friday
and Saturday evenings. The play
is for the benefit of the "Chippiwa"
the high school annual.
From the outset the play is one of
excitement and thrills such az will
take every college man or woman
back to those "good old days." and
is of the life at Yale just two days
before the famous Harvard track
meet, the night before that eveutful
occasion, the dressing room of the
Yale team during the meet and q
party following the victory.
Interest is at its height at Yale
and during the first act Walker, cap
tain of the team, while endeavorinE
to con for a Greek lesson ia disturb
ed by the calling of several college,
mates, Dick Carson, the hero Of the
coming event and a roommate Of
Walkers is visited by Professor All
bright, an authority on Hume,s
Philosophy, who seeks to drum some
of that subject into his brain. The
parts are taken by E. A. Nelson, Al
fred Neuman and Hiram Simons, Jr,,
respectively.
Suddenly Ludlow, freshman
bursts in upon the scene, with the
frightening news that a few of the
girls would be there in a few min
utes. The manner in which the
boys attempt to straighten the room
is amusing.
In the second act the alarming
news is discovered that Carson, the
man upon whom the success of the
meet was believed to depend, had
been drunk and had gone stale.
Gloom is supreme, and a victory
looks impossible, until at the last
moment, with the score a tie, Car
son who had already won three
events during the day, and who had
been deserted by his friends, volun-
teered: to take the place of Captain
Walker, who had sprained his ankle
by stepping in starting hole, In
the mile. +,
Carson won the race, placing the
championship with Yale.
At the party during the evening
Carson is asked forgivness after ex--
planning the conditions of his drunk.
apology follows apology, and as the
old saying goes, everything was hap
py -everafter.
Earl Riley will play the part of
Mike the trainer, and during the
third act, when he explains to his
men what they are up against, is
given plenty opportunity to display
his talent.
Rehearsals are being held under
the direction of Miss Marjorie KNAPP

Charm Of WALKING

I'm Europe whole. families go, OF
for tramps together; In England,
every Saturday half-holiday sees load
ed trains Of walking parties starting
out of London, making for Epping For
est, or Burnham beeches, for the hills
of Surrey or the river banks. Not
to walk on holiday is the exception
al thing. A club Of people meeting
for regular walks finds it possible to
have a delightful interchange Of con-
versation amid the pure joyousness Of
the open air and beautiful woodlands.
