THE SPORT
LIGHT
By Jimmy Lee

Although the weather registered
far below the freezing point and
the field was covered with snow, the
Halle @. Brown and the Phyllis
Wheatley went about their annual
Turkey day football classic just as
if the weather was ideal for the
occasion, after the dust (pardon
me, 1 mean the SNOWY had been
cleared away and the final gun
sounded the score read Halle @.
Brown, 13, Phyllis Wheatley, O.
The game was played before
quite a crowd, most of the specta-
tors being comfortably seated in
their warm cars. The Phyllis
Wheatley team really looked swell
with their blue and white helmets
and grey jerseys. The teams were
just about evenly matched, both av-
eraging about 155 lbs. The Halle
@. scored their first touchdown in
the first quarter, and the second in
the fourth quarter. Johnny Walton
scored both touchdowns and both
on similar plays, smashes off
tackle. AS for the Halle @. there
weren't any single stars but rather
a whole team of stars. On the Of
fense Johnny Walton and Daniel
Taylor did the most damage while
defensively Harper, Salters, john
son and Pugh were towers of
strength in the line. The Wheatley
team, which was coached by John
Thomas, really played in tough
luck on several occasions. They had
two of their kicks blocked, and at
one time had only three men in the
backfield where they should have
had four. Johnny Walton's long
punts kept them deep in their own
territory most Of the game. Two
fumbles also proved costly to them.
For the Wheatley team, Strawders,
always an inspiration in any form
of athletics in which he partakes,
was the star of his team. Those
on his heels were several of his
pals, Booky Bell, the Breedloves
and Chester Johnson. The game
was neatly handled by Horace Bell
referee, and Boyd Patrick, umpire

The South High team journeyed
to Lincoln, Neb., for an intersec-
tional game with Lincoln High of
that city. The South boys really
showed the Lincoln fans how foot
ball is played here in Minneapolis.
The final score was South High, %,
Lincoln High, 6. The colored lads
on the South team really covered
themselves with glory, Bob Wal
lace scoring a touchdown on a 3d.
yard run, a touchdown very SINH
lar to the one he scored against
West High. Ray Johnson also
scored a touchdown after a run
from the eight-yard line. It is
said that Johnson's blocking was
just as vicious in this game as it
was in the Twin City game against
Harding. Coach Barnard used at
half and fullback Tyler Howell. The
little hard rock, as most Of the boys
call him, was really up to his form
in this particular game. Tyler,
weighing only 155 lbs, is really
the cream of the crop when it
comes to prep inesman. On defense
he backs up the six man line too
sweet. Well, these three lads will
go down in our record books as
having made the South High team
the South High team it is today,
champions of the Twin Cities, and
winners over the strong Lincoln
High School of Lincoln, Nebraska.
Honors of being the most valu-
able player on the Iowa University
team were voted to Homer Harris,
Negro end Of Seattle, Washington.
Harris nosed out his popular team
mate, Ozzie Simmons, by one vote.
Harris received IL votes and Sim
mons II votes. Simmons is a Sc
nior and Harris a junior.
Honors still coming-Ty How
ell, popular Negro guard and all
city man Of the champion South
High team, was voted the most
valuable player on his team by his
teammates after their intersec-
tional game with Lincoln High.
Howell, who is senior in South,
well deserves the honors bestowed
upon him by his teammates. He
has really been Coach Barnard's
mainstay in the, line. He played
the entire game in all of South's
important games, and T have as
yet to see him down with any sort
of injury-well,> more power to
you, Tyler, and may you be just
as brilliant in your college career.

OLD RESIDENT
FOUND DEAD

Richard L. Lipscomb, 65, resi-
dent Of Minneapolis for many
years, was found dead Sunday
night, Nov. 10Th, in his room at
2434 Fifth Avenue So. The cause
and hour of his death will be de-
termined by the coroner's investi-
cation.
As far as known Mr.. ipscomb
has no relatives in this state, but
is supposed to have relatives some
where in the country. The de-
ceased was for years janitor of the
Bethesda Baptist Church. AS a
gardener and handy odd job man
he was well known to many Min
neapois people. He was a member
of the Odd Fellows. At this writ
ing arrangements for his burial
had not been completed.
Lipscomb's body was found Mon
day by Mrs. Della Workman, his
landlady, who, not seeing him for
several days, finally went to his
room to investigate and found him
dead.

manship, igenious ideas and all pre-
vading charm as he ever turned out.
1t Is full of sunlight, delicacy and
the happiest emotions exquisitely
Sketched. The orchestra's treatment
Of the symphony in each movement
was excellent in phrasing and dy-
namics, although the present tone
quality of the ensemble is not flexible
enough for the spirit of the work.
While gain in sorority in each sec
ton is noticeable this year, the strings
have lost some Of the clear, ethereal
color which characterized their play
ing formerly. Without this ascending
quality, the balance Of the ensemble
suffers.
Novelties Well Received.
The two novelties on the program
were Mary Howe's Spring Pastoral" +"
performed for the first time in public,
and McDonald's "Rhumba," given its
first hearing in Washington. Mrs
Howe has written more original COM
positions both as to idea and Or
chestral treatment than Spring Pas
toral." While the initial atmosphere
is preserved throughout, it is narrow
In scope, growing monotonous from
lack Of diversity in either theme or
harmonic manipulation. In contrast,
"Rhumba" disclosed wealth Of tonal
color which embellished the sparcity
of its rhythmic foundation. The work
attempts to elevate to more artistic
levels a native dance rhythm and is
cleverly constructed toward this end.
Its appeal to the audience was unmis-
taxable.
With LISTS lies Preludes" played
In commemoration of the 125th an
niverSary Of the composers birth,
the program was concluded. The read
ing was notable in many respects,
although here again, the unevenness
OF the ensemble was once more no.
ticeable. The breadth of conception
was well sustained throughout, how
ever, the stirring climax being greeted
with thunderous applause. DR.. Kin
dler was recalled many times at the
end Of concert which so successfully
inaugurated another season.

Beauty Play
Presented
ToChildren
Season Opened With
Satisfying Drama
at the National.

~ERTAINTY that Sleeping
Beauty" would meet every
test for the opening Of the
- Washington season by the
New York Children's Theater gave
an excellent reason for the offering
of that play Saturday at the National
Theater.
Its great advantage Is that It Is
drama of misfortune that produces no
painful thoughts, and that even the
ranting witch, with her curse, is an
entertaining person I'd juvenile audi
ences Of today. who know that she is
a character Of fiction. There is also
a sense of satisfaction in acquaint-
ance, with a tale which for genera
tions has been one Of the classics Of
childhood.
Two or three years ago this same
production was offered here by the
company that represents the growing
dramatic prestige Of Clare Tree Ma
jor of New York, who dramatiZed 1t
and directed the company. Those in
the audience who had seen the pre-

a real improvement, giving a measure
of the gain Of the company In stage
facility.
In keeping with the name OF the
affair, there is plenty of beauty in the
settings and costuming, and the COM
pany revealed capacity that empha-
sized the attractive nature of the
story, while there is no lack of clever
comedy in the scene that shows the
royal household gradually falling into
Slumber.
To the younger members Of the
audience there was magnetic charm
in the character of the sleeping
beauty, the Tsarevna Marya, played
with fine spirit by Jewel Morse, while
to the older and more observing audi
tors the part Of the Fairy of Happi-
ness. played by Lucille Moss, was suf-
ficient to arouse admiration and ap-
probation Of graceful playing, which
dominated the development of the
play.
The cast as q whole revealed a
quality that impressed the audience.
and represented an appropriate OPEN
ing for a company which has become
favorite in Washington.

ance, is somewhat lacking now and he
has found many ways of avoiding the
demands of dramatic singing and the
use OF the upper register of his voice.
Yet, in spite of this, his singing yes
terday was beautiful in color, line and
Interpretation, giving the greatest
pleasure to his hearers.
Group Of Songs Pleases.
Donnizetti's Una Furtiva Lagrima,
his opening number, suiting the plain
tive timbre of his voice as If written
especially for him, was not more effec-
tive than Mozartis I'll milo Tesoro"
with its clear, classic line and artistic
exaction. A group Of songs to which
Federico Longas played soft, guitar
like Accomplishments, all Of Italian
character, was given with that delicate
blend of refined style and rich senti-
ment which has become identified with
the proper interpretations Of German
Lieder. Particularly notable were
Caccini's "Amarilli" and Barthelmy's S
"Pesca d'Amore." It is with singing of
this type in which his fine taste is
above question that Schipa has created
a special place Of his own in the
public's esteem quite individual from
that of other operate tenors. Four
encores, including Handels "Where're
You Walk" and composition by his
accompanist but partially satisfied his
enthusiastic audience.
Variety was the keynote Of the
program which DR.. Kinder selected
for this opening concert. The mag
nificent Entrance Of the Gods Into
Walhalle" from Wagner's "Ras Rhe-
ingold" seemed particularly fitting
after the reception accorded the con-
ductor, with its triumphant phrases
and rich harmonies.
Immediately following was the
charming symphony No. SO in g
Major" by Haydn. 1t would seem that
in this symphony Haydn gave him
self up with zest to the play Of all
the delightful moods of which he was
master. Perhaps because of the genu-
ineness of his inspiration 1t stands as
perfect an example of mastery work.

season those soft, SquaSny masses
have been transformed into Eifel
Tower monstrosities. If the hat it
self doesn't shoot up like a giant
pudding, some kind of a feather darts
off it and scars to a ridiculous height.
So that with the slightest movement
of the head that feather or that pud-
ding shuts out anything but the
smallest view of the screen, and you
spend your afternoon leaning this
way and that, frightening your neigh
Dor by the intensity of your gyrations,
and so hopefully hoping that the
feather will suddenly snap in half that
you have lost half of the picture.
It used to be considered some sort
of. an unwritten law that lady, upon
settling herself down in 3 chair, took
her hat neatly off her head, stuck the
hatpin in the lining and then went
quietly to work on those chocolates.
Occasionally, If she had on something
that didn't rise more than an inch
or two off her brow. she would turn
around, unleash her best smile and
ask if the hat bothered the people
behind her. The rule then made those
people say, mo, it doesnt"-for the
obvious reason that it didn't.
But now when you say, Lady
would you mind very much removing
your hat?" with that "what?" that
the lady shoots around at you, with
that glare, with the rest of the row
transfixed with amazement at such
a request, and finally df she gives IND
with that bitter fanfare which goes
today with the taking off of one of
those long, skinny, bewildering. lop-
sided chapeaux, you know perfectly
well that you would have been much
better off if you had never suggested
such thing, that hats today are eW-
IDENTIFY made to be worn in theaters
and not to be taken of.
We still plead, however, for the
gentle decapitation Of these hats IN
the film houses. We have even talked
to Betsy Caswell about it and threat
ened to write her letter. She says.
Go ahead-but you can't very well
expect to take a hat of a woman
when the woman doesn't want to take
her hat off,"
Oh. can't we. Wait till we get
that next feather in our ear. In spite
of the weaker sex's shrinkage from
fisticufhng. we guarantee a nice lit
tie "wrastling" match right there In
