Heifetx at Augustana.

Recently Jascha Heifetz. The Rus
sian violinist who comes to Aug
ustana gymnasium Friday, was in
terviewed in Tulsa, Okla. For the
southern audiences and their ap-
things to say, but one thing ranked
in his young bosom. 1t seems that
by a ruling Of the cooks and wait
ers' union or a blue law of the
southern legislatures, it is practi-
cally impossible to sit down to any
kind of real food after p. m. And
Heifetz, like all healthy young
men has an appetite, particularly
after a concert. Not that playing
makes him hungry, but it is hard
and fast rule among artists that
before a concert one must not eat
too heartily, and so, quite fire.
quently Mr.. Heifetz must content
himself with one chop and a baked
potato when he really feels like
having everything from soup to a
demi tasse.
The violinist's mother, Mrs. Ru-
vim Heifetz, is travelling with him.
ana mother fashion she has helped
to solve the food question by laying
in a supply of sandwiches and
fruits early in the evening, so there
has not been any case of actual
hunger. But just the same, Heifetz
will remember Atlanta, Ga, San
Oklahoma City and one or
two other cities as somewhat
strange places.

PRINCIPAL LAU
IN FIRM STAND
High School Official Declares That
Victory Over Galesburg Was
Clean One.
DOES NOT DESIRE NEW GAME
States He Is for Replaying Only If
1t Is Proven There Were
Irregularities.

Because of the misinterpreta-
ton of recent statement made by
Arnold Lau, principal of the Rock
Island high school, he today quail
fed his assertions to a finer de-
gree.
Principal Lau recently declared
that should it be shown that there
were irregularities in the Rock Is
land-Galesburg basketball bame
played ten days ago in the district
tournament at Galesburg, he de-
sires that the game be played over.
It was only with the stipulation
that if it were shown that there
were Irregularities. He declares
he has been misquoted, it having
been said that he desired the game
to be played over, regardless of
whether or not there were irregu
larities.
Lau's Statement.
Principal Lau said today relative
to the matter:
Referring to the statement thai
I desired to have the Rock Island
Galesburg basketball game played
over, permit me to say that l never
made the unqualified statement
that 1 desired the game replayed.
My first concern is that Rock Is
land, especially Rock Island high
school has nothing attached to its
victory that would even cause any
body to say anything against it.
Knowing and believing that the
victory was fairly won, and anx-
ious that no one would have any
occasion to say otherwise / stated
that should an irregularity be
proved and the state authorities
ordered US to replay the game we
should be willing to do so. 1 want
it distinctly understood first, that
this statement was made through
my desire to be consistent with
and in support of the thoroughly
square and sportsmanlike conduct
of the Rock Island high school bas-
keCbail team, and second, that I
sincerely believe that no irregu-
larity will be found which would
in any way discredit our victory.
LET me repeat that feel alb
solutely secure in the fact the
Rock Island high school team,
coach and manager are entirely
competent and trustworthy to
handle our athletics with perfect
openness and square dealing, and
1t is to back that faith and my
faith in the boys ability to win
that such statement was made.
Let me say again that 1 never |
made the unqualified statement
that desired the game leplayed.
"In the meantime may beg that
we rest secure in the knowledge
that we are innocent of any irreg-
ularity and go forward to the state
at Champaign with all |
faith and confidence in the out
come"

In "Raffles," showing at the Ma

will prevents her from doing so.
