''BROKEN CHINA" |S PRESENTED ID SHOW
 NEED OF MISSIONS

In accordance with the plan and | purposes of the Wold Wide guild. | the mothers in the Calvary Baptist church have been '-mothering' the daughters circles in the church and in accordance with the custom of the guild were "at home" to the daughters at the home of Mrs L. w. Coggins last Tuesday evening.
 The lawn was used at as audito- rum and the balcony as a platform and the daughters presented the mis- sionary pageant Broken China
 The settings were tastefully arr ranged and showed no little ingc- nuity upon the part of the girls in improvising scenery. footlights, dec orations.s etc. Of course. the scenes were laid in China. and centered around a Chinese home in which there was a mothr-in-faw and a son who was taking second wife. The two daughters of the home and the new daughter in Jaw imbibed from the teachings of Christian mission ary ideas distasteful to the mother and son. who worked up a plot to sell the giil baby which the mother thought had come to bless the home but which they looked upon as a useless piece of baggage" Where upon the mother prayed to the house. hold idol god. who proved impotent to help her find her baby. and in an agony of grief and disappointment she dashed the idol to the floor and broke it, upon which her husband divorced her and drove her from her home. In her wanderings she came upon the Christian mission where she was treated with kind ness and became converted.
 Later she was brought to America ! by the missionary and addressed the audience. reading a part of a letter received from her husand telling her ! he too had been converted to her re- | ligion and pleading with her to re- turn to China and join him in work | ing for the conversion of their peo- ! pie.
 The program was very instructive and carried strong plea for mis- sions. the main point being that as the religion and teachings of Jesus had from the Chinese viewpoint bro ken China to pieces. only more of the same teaching and the same spir- 1t could mend it. When the two lit tie Chinese maidens passed through the audience for voluntary con- tribution to the guild missionary fund they were met with a hearty and lib- eral response.
 The cast was:

SPORT CRITICS
Maroon Coach Tells EN- They
Can't Expect to Win
Every Year.

CHICAGO. Feb. An answer to his
critics, A. A. Stagg, director Of athletics
at the University of Chicago today, e
piled to the charges of alumni that the
poor showing of the veteran Maroon
basket ball team was due to inferior
coaching. in a letter published in the
Daily Maroon. student publication.
Coach Stage declared that the defeat a.
the hands of Michigan was because NOll-
mer, the best Of Chicago's star scoring
men, could not play because Of illness,
and that Stair, who replaced him for
full forty minutes because be was con
valescent from an illness and that Hal
laday was also out Of condition, com
bination of misfortunes which democrat
liz I'D the Chicago team.
His letter to the Maroon in part fol-
lows:
II wish to say that the athletics at the
University of Chicago are conducted by
the depa rtment of physical culture and
athletics and are not controlled by the
whms Of student or alumni opinion. Inc
purposes and aims of the department ar
| higher than the winning Of contests, ana
we are unwilling to lower these ideals
in order to win.
at Is fair to call the attention Of the
critics to the fact that Chicago Is one
of ten Conference universities every one
OF which has more eligible students for
It's teams and some Of them, like Illinois,
Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin amt
Ohio have from three to four times a
many available men from which to pick
their teams as We have at Chicago.

universities, our normal expectancy In

for its second clash with Purdue on
Tuesday. The Knox College five win be
met tonight and Vaughan's men mean to
win 1t decisively. They are not going
to take any more chances of an upset like
they experienced at Terre Haute Tues
day, when State Normal outscored them
Wabash followers were only slightly
sbashed by the Normal defeat and they
are confident the Scarlet will redeem It
self against Purdue next week. Coach
Vaughan's athletes are still figured as
the leader in the State race. The Purdue
contest is expected to be terrific
struggle, however, because the Boiler
makers have a reputation for doing
comebacks. Wabash nearly doubled the
score on the Lafayette crew e1 en- Ter IN
to show super strength to repeat the
dose IN the second meeting.

LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 4.-Coach
Lambert ran his men through a light
workout this afternoon. which concluded
q week Of hard practice for the big game
tomorrow night with Illinois. This is
an important game for both teams, as
Purdue will tie Indiana for first place in
the conference race If Illinois is sent
home on the short end Of the score, but
should the visitors win Purdue viii drop
to third and the visitors will move up to
second. The athletes came out of the
Michigan game in fine shape, although
they were battered around considerably
by the husky Wolverines.
Coach Lambert has used different COM
binations In the practices this week look
ing for larger men for the forward pO-
sitions. Hiser, substitute back guard,
was shifted to forward and showed up
well In this position. Miller, back guard,
tried his luck at jumping center and
showed that he was the best man at the
tip-off.
