LOCALS MISS SHOTS

Hartford City Triangles formed very
little opposition for the American Leg
ion basketball team in the second
came of the season on the Coliseum
floor Wednesday night. the Old Gold
winning by the score of 81 to 6. The
visitors were completely outclassed.
The Triangles came here as a highly
touted five, supposed to have much
class, but the class seemed to be con-
fined to one player, that being Mannex,
their back guard. Without Mannex in
the lineup the score would have been
very much larger. Time after time
the big back guard would work the
ball up the floor only to have one or
his forwards lose 1t on a tumble or
have 1t taken away from him by one
of the Legion guards.
The Legion tossers played a fast,
snappy brand Of game but were very
poor on basket shooting. missing many
easy shots. On several occasions the
local forwards had three or four
straight shots under the basket only
10 miss and have the ball recovered
by the TrianCles. The team needs
great deal of practice in basket shoot
ing The pass work of the team is
very good
The Triangles seemed unable to
solve the defense of the locals and bad
trouble getting in close range of the
basket Many times the visitors would
bring the ball up the floor only TO be
stopped by the ex-service mems
guards. They also we're very poor on
basket shooting and connecting for
the basket for only three field baskets
the entire game.
Uses Every Man
Capt. Logan used every man on the
squad in this. contest and all gave a
good account of themselves. Little
and Higgins showed up TO a good ad-
vantage and promise to put up a hard
fight for q regular berth on the team.
Little played a fine floor game at for
ward and connected for one basket,
He was constantly feeding the ball to
men under the basket.
Higgins put up a good fight under
the basket and broke up many nice
pieces of team work by the Hartford
City five. Pitts was started at the
floor guard position and lated shifted
to the pivot position in Simmon'
place He played a good game in
both positions, and shows promise OF
landing a regular berth. Mcbride
was criticized for poor sportsmanshir
in being unnecessarily rough.
The Legion started the scoring of
early and had piled up a total of II
points before the visitors broke into
the scoring column. Mannex dropped
one through the netting from the cen
ter of the floor for the Triangle's first
score
Both teams did their heavy scorina

Here Dickens sounds his note of
warning, which has lost none of its
meaning during the passage of
years:

be acquired by riding a theory-or,
in this case, an atheory. For they
are the first school without mani
festo; they rave smugly in the
knowledge that they cannot under
stand themselves. Their inspiration
is too much for them.
Nevertheless, it seems that Dada
can often be caught in a weak mo-
ment. Take, for instance, these two
verses from an eight-line stanza:
"AAA. AAE. AAI. AAO. AEA.
ace. AEI. AEO.
Ala. ALE. All. AIO. AOA.
AOE. AOI. 400"
The challenge is made to Dada
that the beauty of this couplet can
be explained. Indeed, it is plainly
evident. 1t is far clearer than the
pages of some of Dada's most de-
tested enemies, the Nouvelle Revue
Francaise group. In these lines,
then, Dada simply recognizes his
right to enjoy those insignificant
baubles and trinkets which are
usually allowed only for the amuse-
ment of children and idiots. In the
case Of the quoted couplet, it will be
noticed that there is a very real con-
tentment in allowing the mind to fol-
low the arrangements of the four
vowels.
There is a certain warehouse in
New York with four entrances for
receiving goods. Above each en-
trance is the name of the product
received. They are: Bar steel, bar
iron, sheet steel, plate steel. A
person standing idly in fsont of this
warehouse is apt. to find these words
operating uncalled for in his head.
They twist and squirm into various
new orders. Thus they may become
bar bar, steel iron, sheet plate, steel
steel. Or steel bar, iron.b bar, steel
sheet, steel plate. The usual reac-
tion is to clear the head as soon as
such a bondage is discovered. The
Dadalste, on the contrary, recognizes
the legitimacy Of his inspiration be-
cause it has existed. Consequently,
these four warehouse entrances form
perfect Dadaiste enterprise.
Surely, this principle Is not en-
tlrely valueless. We have insane

planned, II would see near London
on a Sunday evening. 1t is such

one year to make people properly
religious, cheerful and contented,
than all the legislation Of a century
could ever accomplish.

field, or open piece of ground, in

scale the scene of the little country

less degree, but which was never
forced into the breast of any man
by menace or restraint.

Sunday might be looked forward to

might feel, what few men do now,

stables and sincerely religious un-

claimed Dickens, filed with righteous
wrath at the projected legislation.

his chapter on Sunday as the Sab
bath bills would make it, "such a
bill as this to have actually passed
both branches of the legislature; to
have received the royal assent, and
to have CONS into operation. Imag-
Inc its effect in a great city like
London!
Sunday comes and brings with It
day of general gloom and auster-
ity. The man who has been toiling
hard all the week has been looking
forward toward the Sabbath, not as
to a day of rest from labor and
healthy recreation, but as one of
grievous tyranny and grinding op-
preston.

HN memorial statue was un-
yelled in Paris a trembling
group of ardent young men
were assembled for the occasion.
Their faces were paralyzed with
emotion; now and then one Of them
weakened to a single tear. Finally,
after several moving addresses, the
veil was lifted and the statue was
discovered standing on its head. The
young men assembled, Dadaistes all
of them, preserved their dignity. No
doubt they felt that that was the
way statue ought to stand.
In any case, the followers of Dada
are revolving against the dreadful
fact that the great bulk of French
literature is standing so sturdily on
its feet. So they have switched off
the lights and are butting about
madly in the dark, overturning their
enemies, themselves and one an
other indiscriminately. Not having
liked the way things were done, they
have lnaugurated the first true chaos
IN the worlds history. This is the
first true chaos, since it is the first
completely blind revolt. Each Dada
lste masterpiece must remain q
puzzle to its owner, as it is puzzle
to any one. For the Dadaiste mas
terpiece is produced by something
beyond the mere laws of apprecia-
tlon; Dadaisme is a stab, q haphaz-
ard thrust, 1t is the great apothe-
osis Of just because.
Since the downfall of Parnassian-
ism, around 1886, France has been
one breathless succession of schools.
First came "Symbolisme'' and "Vers
Libre," two movements which have
pretty we'll established themselves
throughout the rest of Europe. In
addition to these more successful
tendencies the history Of recent
French theorizing records, among
others, "Magnifcisme," "Magisme." ;"

was a symptom of the big war that
was approaching, Dadaisme is an
evidence of the destruction which the
war left behind it. The younger
generation which spent five forma-
tive years in that long holiday Of
misery can never settle down again
to such a docile existence as that
which comes of polite words, proper
punctuation and pretty stories.

said, that would be too idiotic.
Among the leaders of the Dadaiste
movement might be mentioned Fran
els Picabia, whose paintings have al
ready appeared in New York at the
Independents exhibit; G. Ribemont-
Dessaignes, Tristan Tiara, Louis
Aragon and Philippe Soupault. These
are new and unaccustomed names in
French literature, although some Of
them were futurists and cubists in
those dark days before they found
the light of Dada.
And for some reason or other they
have seen fit to unite in a vigorous
battle against all that is comfort
able and definite. This, of course,
is not an absolutely new thing in
modern art. The distinction of the
Dadaistes is that they have gone
into the matter more acutely. Be-
ginning with Mallarme, France, the
nation OF clarity, has developed a
tradition of rampant obscurity.
Perhaps it has reached it's culmina-
tion in the Dadaistes.

cially charming passage from

These men have discovered fluc-

"rien," which means nothing. In one
Dadaiste meeting in Paris, where a
disciple objected that "rien" was toe
dogmatic, since it might be possible
for good Dadaiste to hold one fixed
outlook say for twenty minutes, this
faltering coward was hooted into
silence by riotous shouts of "Rien,
rien!"
All this may be discomforting, but
it is not unheard Of. The Dadaistes
have simply carried our present-dav
neomania to it's furthest conclusion,
They have advanced into that realm
of artificial insanity which can best
