June Walkers performance IN

moves quickly enough to keep up the

excellent performances.
The same program which was given

effects were perfect. while the sing

of splendid program. She has
beautiful voice, clear as bell and
with a wide range. She was also
heard to advantage in the presenta-

Baumgartner. baritone.
The chorales, AVE Verum." by
Byrd: 'In Dulci Jubilo," by Christian

with just that added bit of fire that
only love of the work can give. Their
singing was most pleasing and in some
of the cimaxes positively thrilling.
The music of THE Black Hussar"
has many unusually fine passages for
light opera and some of the choruSes
possess solid composition of high
order. The SeXtet at the end of the
first act is beautifully written and was
beautifully sung.
The story of the opera has already
been told in previous review and It
remains only to reiterate praise for
the fine cast of principals and the SUI

brought together.

MORTON KAER
REFUSES PRO
GRID CHANCE
Cares More For His Amateur
Standing Than Golden
Returns
By BILLY EVANS !.

One of the outstanding football
stars of last year was Morton
"Devil-May" Kaer of the University
Of Southern California. He was
practically a unanimous choice for
all-American halfback.
Since the close Of last season,
Kaer has ben eagerly sought by q
half dozen Of the leading profession
al football teams Of the country.
However, he cares more for his anna
teur standing than the golden re-
turns of "pro" football.
During his college carer, Kaer
was frequently described as the
greatest all-around collegiate ath-
lete in America. His remarkable
performances in various branches of
sport richly earned the title.
Plays Amateur Football
kaer is not enrolled in college this
fall. He is playing on the amateur
football squad Of the Olympic Club
of San Francisco. He intends to
return to Southern California in
February, however.
Despite the fact that. Southern
California has a rule limiting ath-
letes to two major athletic activities

four major sports.

Many Grid Changes
Caused by Haughton

Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 3O.-The
late Percy Haughton is credited
now with many Of the innovations
that have tended to popularize the
grid sport. Here are a few of the
things he is made the author Of:
Made the forward pass scoring
play rather. than merely a gamble.
Was one Of the first coaches to
introduce the triple threat. Work.
ed on the theory that the quarter
back should direct the play but
never carry the ball.
Haugthon was prime mover in
the scouting system that was uni
versally adopted by all coaches. 1t
is now under fire in some quarters,
certain coaches having entered into
an agreement not to scout each
other.
That explains why his brand of
football was known as the Haugh-
ton system.

Is Genius Changing?

America is full Of starving geniuses who are
inarticulate because they are afraid of hard
ness and loneliness, we have it on the word OF
a well known New York pastor, Rev. DR.. Rob-
ert Norwood.
Among the geniuses with whose history we
are familiar, there are few, if any, to whom
DR.. Norwoods description seems to properly
apply. Certainly we have seen genius starve,
but never silently. AS rule genius starves
because he is genius and because he speaks a
strange tongue and bears banner with a
strange device that none can understand.
The prospect of hardness and loneliness does
not daunt genius, as we have found him. In
fact, he loves it like fern loves water. Genius
can look upon the rest of us earth-bugs and
understand. That's why there is no loneliness
or hardness for your 100 per cent able-bodied
genius, first class. II he starves, he likes it
all the better.
Men have painted great pictures though
starvation and insanity were their only re-
wards. They have written great poetry, and
their compensation has been disease which
Slapped their lives. Great statesmen have spo-
ken against all precedent and have been hooted
down, but had their say, and it proved the
truth.
Genius doesn't need to be hunted up and
feted. 1t fetes itself, by nature.
