DANCES OF TODAY
NO MORE 'PR0FANE'
THAN THE GREEKS
Philadelphia Dancing Ex-
perts Resent Allusion to
Modem Steps as Am
bling of Kangaroo"

Modern dances do not resemble the
"ambling of kangaroo" according to
indignant protests of Philadelphia dane
ing experts, who take exception TO state
ments made recently by Professor Troop,
Of Toronto, in an address on THE Study
Of Poetry" delivered at Norristown.
The kangaroo allusion was not the only
remark made by Professor Troop which
does not rlease the dancing master, for
no recommended that rather than to in
vent new and outlandIsh steps, an effort
should be made to initiate the Greek
dances
Questioned today upon the relative
merits OF the ancient and modern dances,
one OF the Philadelphia dancing masters
replied:
"of course. no fault can be found with
Professor Troop because he likes the
Greek dances. for some OF them are very
beautiful indeed. and there Is much that
may be learned from studying the poses
and rhythm OF the classic dance, but 1t Is
ridiculous to say that the modern dances
are not graceful and beautiful, because
they are, and 10 one who mas seen them
done by people who have really learned
10 do the steps can deny it,"
Another expert, whose speciality is I'm
the field Of classic dancing, explained that
very few people really understood what
the art SiGnified to the Greeks, with whom
any measured movement was considered
dancing, although there We're three main
claSsihcatons, namely, sacred. military
and profane dancing This allows a COM
parison on equal terms with the modern
dances, which may be divided into three
divisions OF a somewhat similar nature,
as stage, society aud profane dancing.
dancing OF modern times with the sacred
dances OF the anclents, any more than
1t would re fair TO the Greeks to COM
pare their ''prufane" or vulgar dances
with tho society dances OF today. The
proper comparison of the stage and So
ciety dances with the sacred and military
movements known 10 the Greeks and
Egyptians would not show that the mod
ern steps are oVershadowed.
There is only one point I'm which the
Greeks eNcelled the dancers OF today, they

OF Hellosaoalus and Callgula- who made

The dancing experts assert that almost

Golf is still holding n section of the
iiInellght. There are no games in Phila-

but the dved-in-the-woo bug. Yet the
annual fall tournament OF the Country
Club OF Atlantic City has a fine meeting
now in full progress. Some excellent
golf was played yesterday and more
was predicted for today. Among the

A strong delegation of Red and Blue
cross country runners left yesterday for
Bellefonte, where the Penn men were
booked TO compete with the Penn State
team. This meeting is one OF unusual
interest on account OF the intense rivalry
which has always existed between tho
two institutions. Coach Orton did not
make the trip with his country
team, but sent them away in charge of
Stanley Root, who has been assisting in
tho coaching of the long-dlstance men
Penn's cross-country team has been
pleasant surprise to the followers of
the Red and Blue. When the team made
the trip to Hanover last week to run
the Dartmouth men II was not believed
thai the Red and Blue had even fight-
ing chance to win. Yet several of the
runners, notably Cotton, showed UP to
so much better advantage than they had
ever done before that Penn came away
victorious. The team representing Penn
now at Bellefonte is composed of Hus-
