sExPERiENcE"

Certainly the best snow tnat mas
been in Abbeeviile this season.; and
among the best that has ever shown
here, was Experience, at the Opera
House last Friday night. It was a
moral play that escaped banality by
the very strength Of the caste. the
adaptability of the theme to present
day conditions. and the absence Of the
hackneyed imelodralna, In which most lost
plays OF like purpose find expression:
It goes 80 prove what has been
often, said that it pays to bring good
shsws TO Abbeville. There was q large
crowd ct the theatre and it was a
financial success, a very necessary
phase of the show business. .;s.,>r-s,...v,
The play was allegorical in form,
esspsrable to Bunyan's Pilgrims
Progresa. Instead of Christian,
Youth starts on his pilgrimage OF
life,, to find his steps dogged BY. such
positive influences for good and evil
as Love, Experience, Pleasure, Beauty
Passion, Deceit, Intoxication, Poverty,
Crime, Slandeff and Excitement. s
Leaving Love, a callow love, Youth
begins his journey. with Ambition,
but leaves Ambition for the pursuit
of pleasure" following the con-
ventional paths, affected by the
young man who is sowing his wild
oats in a city, Youth goes the whole
way and comes up with a start, like
the prodigal son, when there is no
more evil to be explored, returning
then, a worn out shell of himself to
Love. There the play ends.
:. 1t was a strong, clean play, that
gave one something to think about,
even though it was of the evils that
have been driven into the conscious
ness Of the average man from his
mothers knee. The two hours and a
half of the show left one with the i'm
preston of time not wasted.

Dec. 5th and 9Th, two cats are used

One is q lean serawny frog hunter

a magazine story about cat that

This old feline ragamuffin sneaks
out to the waters edge. A paw sud-

snake striking and the frog is hooked.
They found the cat in the Cali

whose cabin they used, told them that
the cat learned to fish from being
left alone for days at time in the

Free From Any Big Upsets

rush for the net position, and then
volley and smash your way to victory.
Against all except the strongest
players Murray's tactics were crowned
with success, but that was rather be-
cause the coast players net game was
eycept ioNallv developed, almost abnor-
NAL, than because one-sided game
can Vrulnarliy prevail against the we'll
rounded one. When the California
Meteor" came up against the best in
the land, Richard Norris Williams, End,
for example and William NJ. Johnston,
defeat was his portion
And the answer lay in the fact that
both Williams and Johnston had de-
veloped their games along conserva-
tive lines, never forgetting that the
net attack is twice as formidable when
the way has been prepared by forcing
shots, generally made from the back
of the court. Besides saving an enor-
nous amount of vitality the sound and
forceful backcourt game makes the
final assault at the net far more GER
tain of results than Murray's hap
hazard rush for the barrier.
Against Miss Wagner on Saturday
Miss Goss tried to win by tactics al
most exactly similar to those en-
ployed by Murray during his first in
vasion of the East. In the first set
her attack was so spirited and well
sustained that she almost succeeded in
winning.
The games reached Sail before the
West Side player began to feel the
pace she had set, and Miss Wagner
still placing her deep court drives with
SPLENDID judgment and unerring accu-
racy, began to score on passing shots
that her opponent could no longer block
off
The second set saw the complete
undoing of Miss Goss, for, robbed of
her speed and no longer able to reach
the net on the jump, she was no match
for Miss Wagner when it came to
ground strokes.
Her game being still in the forma-
tive stage, it should not be difficult fol-
Miss Goss to acquire the necessary
ground strokes, and with these, backed
up by her already powerful net game
she should advance steadily, until
within a year or two at most, she
ought to be more than a match fo1
Miss Wagner and most of the other
present day stars of the court. AS 6
matter of fact, we look upon her now
as a holder of the national honors in
the near future

Thousand Students
I'm Athletic Rally
Held at Columbia

The most enthusiastic meeting that
has been held for the promotion of
athletics at Columbia University since
the war took place yesterday afternoon
in the college gymnasium. Nearly a
thousand of the fourteen hundred d
students at Morningside Heights at
tended and listened to appeals from
Leyering Tyson, graduate manager of
athletlcs and chairman Of the meeting;
Fred Dawson, coach of the basketball
and baseball teams. and Carl Morner
coach of the track squad
1t was expected that definite plans
for the rowing season would be an
nounced, including the name of the
new coach, but Mr.. Tyson explained
that this matter was not yet complete
ly settled and that another day or so
would have to elapse before the
promised aanouncement could be
made.
The theme of Dawson's speech was
the necessity of every student rally
ing to the support of all college activi-
ties and the coach reminded his hearers
that they constituted one big family,
and therefore must turn in ard help
one another IN every way possible with
an eye single to the welfare of the col
lege as q whole. He made special plea
for baseball, and said the call for can
didates for the nine would be issued
IN about two weeks.

Joie Ray Enters
w Wanara1aker Run
To Clinch Trophy

The entry of Joie Ray, of the Hi
nois Athletic Club, was received yes
terday for the Rodman Wanamaker
milc-and- a-half run in the Millrose
Athletic Association games at Madison
Square Garden Of February 25. This
means that the national champion is
out to clinch the beautiful trophy with
victory for the third consecutive
year.
Ray has not raced in six months, his
lay-otf being due to an injured foot
sustained while working in munition
factory. In letter to John MCGOWAN,
the Millrose official, Ray stated that
he was in splendid condition and would
attempt to smash his present worlds s
record of GAS 3-5 in the coming con-
test
Tom Eek, coach at the University of
Chicago, believes that Ray will have a
serious opponent in Joe Stout, one Of
his proteges. Eek has put Stout
through a s-rious training for the con-
te t. Joe Connolly and Cecil Leath,
both of the Boston A. A, are also out
after Rays scalp.
