Ballroom, one of the hot spots on
the Great White Way in little
New York town. Using the slogan,
rhythm is my name" the band
soon gets off into one of the jazz
comas and when an half hour has
passed, everything from light SYM
phonic to the latest swing tempo
has been pounded out. Hopkins, a
graduate of the Howard Univer-
Sity Conservatory of Music, adds
the collegiate touch to his pres
entationS.
Assisting the band as usual, is
Orlando Robson, the boy with the
silver tongue tenor. Marie" the
number that figured in his sudden
rise to the top was well received
by the audience. A new Sepia on
the horizon and with Hopkins
band is Evelyn White. The girl
has a lovely voice and gets big
hand.
Offered in the other half of the
bill are the three Girton girls, aero
batic dancers; Madeline Belt and
Albert Vigal, soft shoe artists;
Hardtack, the latest impersonator

BLOOMINGTON. Ind, Jan. q
Expansion of Indiana University's
facilities to meet record-breaking
pa per cent increase in enrolment
during the last two years marked
the institutions activities for 1895.
A new 100000 administration
building is to provide long needed,
f1reproof quarters for transacting
the university's business and for
housing valuable records. A new
$780, 900 school of music building is
to replace two small, wooden struc-
lures now in use. This is regarded
particularly important in view of an
increase of one-third in enrolment
in music courses last fall.
Extension of the power plant to
serve the new buildings is one of
the major Improvements now under
way here. Rebuilding of streets and
sidewalks is on the program both
here and at Indianapolis, where the
Medical Center is being Handicapped.
Painting, pointing of stone work,
ROOT repairs and interior decoration
are part of the modernization and
reconditioning program.
Federal aid has been granted on
all the improvement projects with
the result that between TOO and 300
men are employed or are to be en-
ployed during large part of the
year.
Enrolment of extension and resi-
dent students during the last year
reached peak of 1874, giving the
university one of the largest student
bodies in the United States and
first in the state. Records show that
the extension division provided di-
rect service for 331,374 persons dur
ing the year; health and hospital
divisions, 188,076, and conferences,
exhibits and contests, 197,297.

over the Pile.
The linesmen who came here from
under the shadow of Mrs. Roosevelt's
house Appropriated the layman's
conception of California crew.
They stood six feet and over in
their tootsies They split the Mis-
sissippi bulwarks while somewhere
in the rear the Catholic backs ran
with their hands outstretched to
break the fall when they toppled on
their faces from sheer momentum.
Catholics Fool En-
In due time, that way, the goal
was approached. IT'S true the first
scoring play was a wide lateral
which concerned the Catholic backs,
their housekeeping and sure flip
ping of the ball. But Ole Miss had
taken such a pounding from the
Northern wall that the Southelners
were rubbing shoulders trying to
plug up the bikes, hence Catholics
strategy, pass far to the side. Neat
but not clairvoyant-by an Orange
bowl full.
Later in the proceedings a Cath
Ole pass, diagonaled distance of
some 30-odd yards, tipped the scor-
ing count Still later a blustery
substitute by the name of Ferdi-
nand Rydsewski popped into the
Ole Miss back field to block a
kick, which he promptly converted
into a touchdown.
Hopes Up for Ole Miss
Looking back on this second or
ange-Squeezing adventure which
was witnessed by a crowd of some
thing like 10000, I note the men on
both sides of the ball were spe-
cialists.
Catholics line, as you may have
guessed, went about its play Justify
in orthodox scrimmages. 1t harvested
yardage for the backs. Mafofske, a
left-footed booter, puntcd we'll all
afternoon. But downfield the Cath
Ole forwards lost the crispness of
execution and this leads me to the
subject of one Ray Hapes, sopho-
more of the Ole Miss brigade.
HapeS has a perfect football pro-
file, I seem to recollect, and my
recollection is better than average
this time because 1 had several
chances to observe Mr.. Hapes' pro-
file.- From time to time Catholic
was moved to punt the ball and
Hapes would take time out and
fling off his helmet and catch his
breath.
Two Missed Points
Here, as the football caravan hest
tates uncertainty between the sea-
son that was and the season that
will be within few months, a
memorandum regarding Hapes is re-
specially entered on the books: He
was a beautiful footballer Jan. l.,
1886.
Ed Walker, Ole Miss mentor, is
probably bordering this point with
considerable pleasure. Certainly with
more time than he lavishes on the
two missed points after touchdowns
which left mighty big one spoil
ing the ole Miss venture in Florida.
He should, anyway, Hapes still has
two years to go.
