- local collegiate basket ball his

hair-raising games been played
as those that took place at Maryland,
Catholic and American Universities
last night. The fact that Maryland
was the only one Of the home trio to
win fails to remove the thrills which
still must tingle through the spec
tators who saw 9. U. and A. U. nosed
out in the closing minutes Of play.
Greatest credit of all is due to the
fighting Old Line five, which, clinging
to its chance to compete in the South
ern Conference tournament. overcame
12-point lead Of North Carolina
State (Which had held the Old Liners
to points in the first half and
turned back the Wolfpack, Al to 35.

the one rival Maryland has to dis

tournament.

overcalne an early lead of the opposi-

by st. Thomas. however, enabled the
Scranton team to retake the lead IN

advantages to the end for Q 35-to-32

John Marin has been hailed as
the best water coloriSt OF the age.
He has been called a master and
a genius. Great honor has been
bestowed on him, and the world
is amazed.
At Studio House, his water col
ors, a few oils and his early etch-
ings are now on exhibition. The
gallery was crowded on the day Of
the opening and has been since,
and though there was some crltl
cisIn. the better part of the visitors
agreed with the large number of
critics who have hailed John
Marin as the genius of the era.
Individualist
Yet when this critic viewed Mr..
Marin's efforts, there was a feeling
that could be mildly described as
bewilderment and astonishment.
Why? Why did he paint those
things?
There, the catalogue directs, is
a mountain in Taos. But would
you really know it was a Taos
mountain if you didn't have the
catalogue? Would you be apt to
distinguish the mountain in Taos
from the Maine landscape?
You might. You might agree
with some of the critics that there
is the feeling Of mountain, the
rocks and towering heights push
ing up into an angry sky.
On the other hand, you might
not. And you would realize that
Mr.. Marin is quite an individ-
ualist. He is not a Surrealist, nor
an impressionist, nor cubiSt. He
is none of these things. He is
just John Marin, a great painter
who paints as he sees and feels.
What he sees may differ from the
visual picture that presents itself
to you, viewing the same scene,
but then he's an artist, and he's
painting art.
One-Man Show
Except for a small show at the
Art Institute Of Chicago II years
ago, this is the only one-man show
Marin has staged outside of New
York, where he was a sensation
with his show at the Museum OF
Modern Art.
Nationwide attention was cen
tered on his work in october of
last year when the Museum of
Modern Art devoted it's entire
building to a retrospective show of
Marin's work. The majority Of
the pictures in the Studio House
exhibition are from that show.
Marin was born in Rutherford,
N. j., December %, 1870. His gen.
