formance Of "Iolanthe" Satur-
day attracted, as usual, large
\ and enthusiastic audience. Al
though supported by the me-honored
love theme Of the young man who loves
girl beyond his reach, Gilbert and
Sullivan have enhanced 1t with the
steady stream Of clever attendant
circumstances, of political, social and
fictional tenor, which invariably car
ries their work out Of the ordinary
into realms Of greatness.
However, an onlooker at "1olanthe'
is not regaled with the great number
Of catchy tunes which characterize so
many Of the other operas. Nor is
one impressed by outstanding indi-
vidual performances, as in the others.
On the whole, "Iolanthe" seems to
provide more opportunity for teamwork
among the actors, with . resultant
smaller number Of encores. even
Martyr Green's. Very few people
come away with anything to whistle
in odd moments, with the possible
exception Of the March Of the Peers" I"
Nevertheless, when taken In It's melodi-
GUS and clever entirety, "Iolanthe"
stands as one Of the best Of the
series.
Martyr Green, as usual, Is the
standout performer. As Lord Chancel-
lor he clearly enunciates his way
through the nightmare song, one Of
his most difficult. It is said that
Green has tendencies toward stealing
the show. II SO. he never batted an
eye when he sang professional
license if carried too far, your chance
Of promotion will certainly mar
anyway his professional chances don't
seem in the least marred.
Throughout the intricacies Of plot
which sees Phyllis, ward in
chancery, played by Brenda Bennett,
won from the peers by Strephon, an
Arcadian shepherd, part mortal and
part fairy, the business" Is impec-

to their penchant for satire.

 Boston, March 22. (UP) Hang ing the Monday wash along the New England sports line:
 one look at Chicago's American ized" Blackhawks and your convic- ton that Canadians are the best hockey players Fernair1s ursl1aken. Anyway, that's the way we felt after watching Major Fred Mo- Loughlin's 2 American lads against the Boston Bruins last night.
 The good Majors plan to weed every Canadian player out of the Chicago lineup iii the next twoSy years and put an all.Atnericat1 cornbina- ton on the ice is steeped with pa- triotism and all that sort of thing. {. But we thing he ought to consider at least until his natives learn the art of stickhandling and ,skat- ing a whole lot better than they know 1t now.
 Patriotic
 There's no doubt, however, that his five American rockies are patri- otic. During the week end, they visited Bunker Hill Monument and climbed all the way to the top yet.
 Dit Clapper, the Bruins big right winger, will be an all-star defense man next year and the year after, according to his manager Art Ross |. and Ross ought to know .. {. He's been in the hockey business something like 35 years.
 Vince DiMaggio, the Boston Bees rookie, doesn't seem to be the hitter his brother Joe is. Or did you know that already? Anyhow, he's been a colossal flop at bat so far Already, he's struck out 10 times in spring training games. !. They say he's sucker for bad ball.
 Don't hesitate to put your chips on Johnny Kelley to win the B. A. A. marathon April 19. Arlington's flying florist" looked better than ever winning the 20-mile Medford run Saturday.
 Basketball statisticians at Rhode Island State College offer some pow erful figures. For instance: This was the seventh consecutive year that the R. I. State quintet averaged 0 poit1t-a a-minute. ..3 The team piled up 1195 points this season and scored 16 consecutive points against Connecticut State. And Chet Jaworski, who led the casts scorers with 301 points, tossed IS successive foul shots in games against New Hampshire, Tufts and Northeastern.
 Wonder what a powerful club like that would do against a nifty zone defense like New Haven's Hillhouse has got? All right! All right! It was just a thought.

Our Co-Eds lost the Champion ship to the St. loses Girls the other night in a heart breaking contest: The Co-Eds held the lead at half time 6 to 4, but saw their hope fade away in the closing minutes of play. Baskets by Misses Phelan & Con- nerS put the Co-Eds in the lead in the third period but Brooklyn big gun, Aldona locus, tossed in three successive long shots and a free try to put St. Joes ahead. Miss Ready Mainone made foul goal for the Till combine, but that climaxed their scoring and a foul shot by Goderaitis ended the game with the score IA to II in favor of the Liths. It was certainly heart-breaker to lose as the Co-Ends led throughout the game, but there must be a loser at all times and unfortunately this time 1t had to be the pride and joy of the Hill, the Co-Eds.
 HighIlghts of the game
 The 3 long shots registered by Miss Focus were without doubt wonderful, she plays great game all around.
