bound to the destiny of Anna.
This theme concerns Levin, the
rural landowner, whom Tolstoy's
brother-in- law says is a picture
of the author. Levin rebels against
the tinsel Of st. Petersburg and
Moscow, retireS to his country
estate to work out agricultural
theories and solves his problems
in the quiet and calm. His love
for Kitty, whom Vronsky scorned
for Anna, is a romantic idyll
TolStoy, as were WasSerman and
Proust, was a student of decadent
society. WaSSerman's canvas was
broad and sweeping; Proust's was
minute and meticulous, and Toll
stoys happy combination of
both. Such a dramatic writer was
TolStoy that each character has
lasting, vivid impression. Life I'M
doubtedly does not move as fast
as TolStoy portrayed it, but the
Russian mind is facile and tenn
pestuouS, easily moving from
mood to mood.
THE only way to describe Toll
l. stoy's beautiful and exciting
style is to reproduce ii.
Suddenly she remembered the
man who was run over on the
day she met Vronsky for the first
time, and she knew what was left
for her to do. With light and
swift steps she descended the
stairway which led to the water
tank at the end Of the platform
down to the rails, and stood very
near the train, which was slowly
going by. She looked under the
cars, at the chains and the brake,
and at the high iron wheels of
the first car, and she tried to eS-
innate with her eye the distance
before the fore and back wheels,
and the movement when the
middle would be in front of her.
There" she said, looking at the
shadow of the car, thrown from
the black coal-dust, which COW

punished, and I shall be deliv-

experienced once, just before TAX
ing dive in the river, came over
her, and she made the sign of the
cross. This familiar gesture called
back to her soul a whole series of
memories of her youth and child
hood; and suddenly the darkness
which hid everything from her
was torn asunder. Life, with its
elusive joys, glowed for an instant
before her. But she did not take
her eyes from the car; and when
the center, between the two
wheels, appeared, she threw away
her red bag, drawing her head
between her shoulders, and, with
outstretched hands, threw herself
on her knees under the car. For a
second she was horror struck at
what she was doing.
What am I? What am I doing?
Why?" She tried to get up, to
draw back; but something mon
strous, inf1exible, struck her head,
and threw her on her back.

action. A smart fighter would not
have a very tough time against
Baer. Schmeling showed in that
fight he is not a smart fighter.
Admitting all this, Schmeling
must still be counted in the heavy
weight race, such as it is. Sharkey
is definitely out of it. Baer can't
stand prosperity. He is strictly a
good time Charlie, much more in
terested in liquors and ladies than
the business of fighting. I would
hesitate to pick him over Schmeling
if they were to meet again.
No matter how you feel about the
fellow and the formula which was
employed to Fring him to the top,
Camera is probably the authentic
leader of the pack. At least he
seems to get better as he goes along
where the others either stand still
or get worse. . OF a grubby lot he
may very well be much the best.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill, Feb. 12.-The
Three-I League, one of baseball'S
oldest minor circuits, will be re-
vived this year as an eight-club or
ganization comprising cities in ILL
noiS and Iowa.
Plans for reorganization of the
league are expected to be completed
by club leaders at meeting in
Peoria next Saturday. Tentative
plans were approved by session
here Saturday.
Decatur, Bloomington, Peoria,
Springfield, Rock Island, Davenport,
Keokuk and Burlington were the
cities agreed upon to make the
eight-club circuit.
Terre Haute (Ind) representa-
tives sought admittance, but we're
ruled out because the city's loca-
ton was considered unsuitable to

Schmeling has been beaten in his

Max Baer knocked him out. Ac-

Peden, who starred as half back
for the University of Illinois in 1921
and 1922, has been head football
coach at Ohio university for ten
years. His teams won the Ohio con-
ference championship in 1929, 1880
and 1881.
Will Name Own Aides
Should he accept the Indiana
position he probably will be given
the opportunity of selecting his own
assistants. This would mean that
Clevenger would accept the resig-
nations of A. J. Nowack, line coach,
and Hayes three other assistants,
Bernard Dickey, Paul Harren and
Otis Edmonds
Responsibility of selecting the
new football coach has been left to
Clevenger His choice will be for
warded to President William Lowe
Bryan, who in turn will present the
recommendation to the Indiana
university board of trustees.
Both Clevenger and Peden have
admitted holding a series of con-
ferences on the subject, and it is
believed by students and alumni
that the Ohio university mentor
will accept if provided a three-year
contract and enough salary.
Wants Three-Year Contract
Page received $4,000 annually
when he was Crimson coach. Hayes
was given a slight increase when he
agreed to handle the football duties
along with track.
Members of the Indiana athletic
coaching staff are given one-year
contracts, but an exception is ex-
pected to be made in Peden's case
to enable him to introduce his own
system, which is based on the War
ner style of play.
In stepping aside as football
coach, Hayes acceeded to the wishes
of alumni and his own theories.
He was not anxious to direct the
football team when Page left, but
took over the job because he and
other members of the faculty be-
lieved he could remedy a bad sit
uation."
Team Is Failure
Last year he was said to have
possessed the best football mate
rial Indiana has had in many
years. Injuries and a suicide"
schedule wrecked the team, how
ever, and the Hoosiers won only one
game, defeating Miami by one point.
Indiana's outstanding perform
ance of the year was a 6 to 6 tie
played with the powerful Minnesota
team.
The Hoosiers were defeated by
Purdue, Michigan, Notre Dame,
Xavier of Cincinnati, Ohio State
and tied by Chicago.
