TO speak OF a player as a Clyde
Fitch actress means little or
nothing to the average seat holder in
the theaters nowadays. for time
speeds apace in the world Of the
stage and Fitch's brilliant talent was
snuffed out before his time. many
years ago.
AS a dramatist. Fitch knew women.
Half Of the feminine players in the
country were ever pleading with
him for parts or hoping that the
lightning of his favor might strike
them Some Of them 1t did strike
and he wrote with them directly in
yiew-not stars only. but lesser lights
Of every magnitude.
One Of Fitch's ever reliable players
was Lucille Watson who; currently.
as the sympathetic understanding,
never-grow-old wife, in you and IL
in which H. B. Warner Is starring. is
said to glow with brilliancy. Fitch
made an early discovery OF her fair
for brittle comedy. She was then

"THE BAREFOOT BOY proves

picture. that no economic or social
condition matters half so much in
American life as our own younger gen.

The State colleges do not lose any
time getting their basketball sched-

important games are played tonight.
Indiana u. has a chance for revenge
over Illinois in a Big Ten contest at
Bloomington. The first battle at
Urbana went to the Suckers, but the
Crimson did not have the present line
up. The I. U. fans are hoping for
better things tonight after the Purdue
and Notre Dame victories. The other
struggle is between those old rivals
Wabash and De PAW. The game is
to be played at Greencastle, having
been switched from Charlottesville. 1t
starts at 1880 p. m.
Interest is high at De PAW, as the
Methodists would rather beat Wabash
than most any other club. In all
probability Laughlin and White will
start at forwards, Wills at center and
Struck or Alice and Hirt, guards.
Struck is a freshman foor guard that
has been coming fast who may get
chance against the Scarlet. Bills and
Young will be in reserve, Vaughan's
strongest team seems to be Adam and

Down at Indiana, Coach Mann
seems to have got together a real
combination by the addition Of some
new players. Bahr and Nyikos, for
wards; Parker, Center; Thomas and

respected by the best.
