The annual championship tourna-

1923. on the Grand Central alleys, af-
ter running almost a month, was
judged the most successful ever held
in this city, more than 500 bowlers
participating in the sport. The tour
ney is held annually for the purpose
of establishing champions of the diff
ferent classes. The Grand Central
was crowded nightly with enthusias
tic spectators, and the excitement
was high throughout the competi-
tion.
With two exceptions. class B and
c. of the singles, every record was
broken, and the new figures beat the
old by good margins. The most nota
BILE new mark was that in the doubles,
where Chaconas and HoWden spilled
the naples for 725, topping the fig
ures TIT of Pratt and Schott that had
stood since 1919. In 1922, B. 7. 4rif-
fin, in class B singles, smashed 366
pins, and G. e. Langley, in class c
singles, registered 361. These are the
only ones that have withstood the on

YALE FRESHMEN IN RIOT
 OVER FOOD AT COMMONS
Throw Bread Around, Smash Crockery and Shout in Half-Hour
 Demonstration

New Haven, March 13.-Yale fresh- men last night abandoned their letter writing campaign against compulsory eating at the Commons and staged a half-hour demonstration in their din- ing hall, in which bread was hurled about. Much crockery was smashed and one table was dumped uncere- moniously into corner. About 800 members of the class added their voices to the uproar. Authorities at the Commons took no action, but waited until the demonstration came to an end
 In the course of the riot a sign was hoisted on which a skull and bones had been drawn. while underneath was written: This man ate at Con- mons"
 Yale freshmen have been protesting for some time against the rule put in force last year compelling them to eat at the University dining hall. Student publications have been printing many letters from freshmen complaining of the quality of the food served and protesting against what is regarded as paternaism on the part of the college authorities. Tonight's demonstration is believed to have, been planned as more vigorous protest than the letters have proved to be, in the opinion of the freshmen.
 Professor R. P. Angler, dean of the freshmen, will conduct an investiga- ton. He refused to comment on the disorders.

Too much Of the story is wasted

acting, which is accomplished by
a cast of players which include

PALACE
"A Daughter of Luxury"


When you go to the theater for
an evenings entertainment, what
is it that attracts you? Is it the
alluring title of the production,
is it the brief knowledge you may
have of the plot, is it the
magnetism of your faVorite star
or producer, or is 1t that irreSist-
ible outcropping of the migratory
instinct, regardless of the afore-
said?
Well Agness Ayres of "The
time, as "a Daughter of LUX
ury," a title which is of itself
self explanatory. 1.-THE Daugh-
any time this week.
AS we sat comfortably en-
sconced in our loge chairs, hav-
ing persuaded the dutiful theater
attendant that we were duly en-
titled to same, a feeling Of COM
posture enveloped us and we were
able to view from the impersonal
viewpoint of the critic. In this
role and from this point of
vantage, we offer the following
suggestions for seeing "A
Daughter Of Luxury"
Don't allow yourself to desire
too much luxury. By contrast
we are able to determine true
values and unless we see poverty
how shall we know luxury? Be
lenient and enjoy yourself. Re-
lax.
Don't allow yourself to think!
Just be patient and sit calm and
composed, in a receptive frame
Of mind because unless you are
receptive you may miss some of
the fine points. Careful scrutiny
and vigilance will be helpful.
Don't speculate. To speculate
is but to detract. You may be
wrong so why heap insult on in
jury? Remember, tbs the brain
child of one who has struggled
to give you his best. Try to see
it his way.
Agnes Ayres who assumes the
role of the girl who was left with
a collection of beautiful gowns
and no closet to hang them in,
steers her fragile vehicle deftly
and admirably into harbor. She
is assisted in her efforts by Tom
Gallery, oSrsman, Edward Mart
indel, Sylvia Ashton. ZaSu Pitts,
Robert Schable and Edith Yorke,
prominent members of the crew.
"A Daughter of Luxury" is the
screen adaptation of the stage
play, THE Imposter." We won't
theorize as to why the name was
changed in filming but conclude
with this thought. Somebody,
wise or otherwise, had sound
judgment.
A hilarious and altogether COM
mendible burlesque, Mud and
Sand" furnishes a series Of
situations that are fraught with
real humor. Even an English
man would laugh before the
eleventh hour. Stan Laurel,
"the worlds champion matador
Of melancholy" is worthy of his
title.-W. S. T., Jr.
