LIONEL BARRYMORE
RETURNS To THE STAGE

Since Lionel Barrymore returned to the
theatre he has added great iustre to the
name which he bears. The trlumyirate Of
Lionel, Ethel and John, represents players
of such quality as has never before been
found in one family. John -. Williams is
now presenting Lionel Barrymore in "The
Letter Of the Law" an adaptation from
la Robe Rouge, by Eugene Brieux
Ii is one OF the most interesting of the
Brieux plays.
''The function Of the dramatist is to
write OF his own people, said Mr. Barry
more recently. THE average dramatist
viii only envision those people in the
circumstances Of their eircunnscribed life.
He will not see them in their relation TO
the great world which lives beyond the
horizon. Life, after all, for the average
person is essentially provincial. 1t is
bounded by little circle of friends, habits,
work, play, that varies little through a
whole lifetime The Letter of the
Law, with Mr.. Barrymore, win be at
The Playhouse the last three days Of
next week

YALE MAY GET NEW GYM.
Eli Plans to Erect Building for Bas-
 ketbaII and Hockey.

New Haven, March 1.-The erection of a building in which basketball and hockey might be played was strong ly urged by Yale men here yesterday and is heartily indorsed in an edi- torial in The News. The present crisis and demand for building is brought about by the great interest in basket ball and the fact that the floor of the gymnasium is not comfortably large enough to hold all the people which have been turning out at the games.
 It is very likely, however, that the idea of building a new athletic gym naSium would not be seriously con- sidered were it not for the fact that the hockey team has had no place to practice this winter except at the Lawn club. Playing against teams which were able to hold regular work outs in indoor rinks, the Yale men were naturally at a disadvantage. Yale men cannot see why the university is not able to provide athletic facil- ities as readily as Harvard, and ask that action be taken soon so that the ice outfit will not be handicapped next year.

COURTNEY BLAMES
 CORNELL FACULTY
Lack of Cooperation Responsible
 for Wiping Out Crew, He Declares

Ithaca, N. Y, March 4.-Lack of cooperation on the part of the Cor. nell faculty is blamed by Coach Charles E. Courtney for practically wiping out a crew that it took months to build up and one that the dean of Am erican rowing coaches considered the equal of any that he has yet turned out.
 As a result of midyear examinations the Starboard side of Courtney's heavy crew, considered by him to be the best, has been wiped out and the of months thrown away, simply be- cause, as the veteran coach states, the faculty failed to cooperate with him as has been the custom in past years.
 Courtney declared he would rather buck the best crew in the country than deal with the Cornell faculty, because, he states, he would receive a squarer deal in the race. Courtney told how in past years members of the faculty had kept him advised Of the classroom standing of each oars man. If a member of the crew was behind in his work, Courtney would call him aside, have a heart talk, and as a result the candidate would remain away from the crew room until his work had been made up. For years, because of this ruling, the ''Old Man" never lost a man from any of his crews.
 It had been the dream of the vet eran oarsman to round out his career as coach of rowing at Cornell with another of his justly famous clean SUeenS''

 The senate yesterday afternoon re- jected by vote of 15 to 13, the reso- 1ution to reconsider it's action of Mon day when the ratification resolution was defeated. It was said then no further attempt would be made by the senate to ratify the amendment at this special session. The house of delegates continued it's session this evening.
 Regardless of the action of the house in ratifying the suffrage amendment, it cannot be considered further in the senate this session un- der a constitutional rule.
 An attempt by standardization forces in the senate to shut off con- sideration of the question in the fu- ture by securing the adoption of a resolution rejecting the amendmen failed by a vote of IS to 10.
 The senate did not meet for more than an hour after the time set for converting yesterday afternoon. Mean time. leaders had been in conference making efforts to win over at least one of those opposed to ratification. All eXpedients failed and the vote to consider was a tie.
