The sooner the football conference
Of which Minnesota university is a
member, does away with it's foolish
summer baseball rule the better for
all concerned. The rule has been a
dead letter Tor years, practically no
one considering it as worthy Of any
special attention. The only time it is
thought Of is when some "white-liv-
ered' football squad believes that the
other team "has it on 'em. - Tt would
also be we'll for the management of
some of the high schools to not be
quite so finicky as to the requirements
asked Of those who desire to contest
in athletic events.

Cornelius Van Vliet.

In presenting Cornelius Van Vliet
the solo cellist of the Minneapoli:
Orchestra, which is to appear here
. Friday afternoon, May 2Sth, at the
armory opera house, the manage
ment of the orchestra are happy in
the knowledge that they are offer.
ing an artist whose equal it would
be difficult to find in this country OF
abroad
Cornelius Van Vliet was born in
Rotterdam, Holland, on September
1, 1886. Beginning with his sixth
year, his father had him instructed
in violin and piano. At nine years
Of age his whole interest centered in
the cello, in the playing of which
he finally became master SO that to-
day there are but few who may be
counted his rivals. At the age of
twelve he often appeared as soloist
in the larger cities of Holland. His
travels began in October, 1908, when
but seventeen years old he became
solo cellist of the Philharmonic Or
chestra of Leipzig under Hans Win
derstein. In Leipzig as we'll as on
many concert tours Of the orchestra,
Van Vliet proved brilliant success.
His reputation as an artist soon
spread so that Oscar Nebdal, director
of the Philharmonic Orchestra Of
Prague, engaged him. With this or
chestra Van Vliet made numerous
concert tours through Bohemia, Po-
land and Russia, always with the
same success. After brilliant sea-
son in Pawlowsk, near St. Peters,
burg, Van Vliet stayed for a time in
Helsingfors, the capital of Finland,
as solo cellist of the Philharmonic
Orchestra.
He gave up this position in Octo-
Der, 1905, to become the first solo
cellist of the Kahn Orchestra in
Munich, Germany. Here, too, sue
cess followed him and he had the
honor to play on several occasions
for members of the royal household,
for example the Princess Ruprecht,
the future queen of Bavaria.
In October, 1908, he was engaged
by the famous director, Felix Vein
gartner, as solo cellist of the Wen
ma Royal Opera, a position which he
held for three years until at last his
wish to appear in America was full
filed, through his engagement with
the Minneapolis Symphony Orches-
fra
