 ton held Thursday afternoon at ) o'clock questions relating to the ath- letics of the college were taken up and hall of the Central Baptist church in News{sondon at s a Saturday for three Saturdays for the basketball games. The hiring of this hall was necessary because of the face that the gymnasi um of WilliaSes Memorial institute where the practice has been held, was too small to accommodate onlookers. The members of the association voted to have three games played between the sophomore and freshman basket ball teams for the championship, and to play the games on three consecutive Saturdays, the first game to be played March IT.
 second team has also been picked and there will be three games between the sophomore and freshman teams on the same days.
 There has been much interest at the college concerning the dance to be given on March IT for the benefit of the Belgian relief fund. It has been decided to have the dance in the form of frolic and ohave the college girls attend in masquerade costume. The dance which the girls at college whose homes are in the vicinity of Hartford were planning has been call ed off. To insure the success of the dance, 50 couples were required and
 
 was decided to put the matter off until a later date

 Frank speaisht in Recital. One of the most delightful recits1s ever given at the college was that on Tuesday evening in Thames hall by Frank Speaight, dramatic interpreter of Dickens works. The program pre- sented on Tuesday evening was MT. | Speaight's dramatization of Pickwick Papers. Following the program, MT. | poems on Dickens characters, and as an encore number recited The Bells, | by Edgar Allan Poe. MT. Speaight depicted the characters in each paper with great ability and as humorous l interpreter the speakers was certain | ly at his best. MT. Speaight's facial expressions are characterizations in | themselves and in order to appreciate | the readings one must necessarily see as well ss hear. At the close of his program MT. Speaight was heartily ap- plauded by a very attentive and appre- ciative audience.
 Miss Virginia Rose, editor.> and Miss | rveagh Sterry, associate editor. of The | College News, are spending the week end at Vassar at conference of the | editors and representatives of the pe- dioricaIs of all the women's colleges of | the east.
