Scribbler's Notes
A lot happened at that old event
this year-as always. I saw
boys utterly tired, battle on nerve
and heart. I saw others with
physical disadvantages battle game
ly against odds. Others in
smaller towns, unawed, 60 dutifully
about the business Of cracking off
larger centers; others who fell to
pieces. their systems crashing down
around their ears. Still all were
playing the best they knew how
at the moment. saw others with
high hopes and tremendous rec
ords to back them, stake every last
ounce on the game Of the moment
and lose by slim margins. His
tory, heart breaking round, exulta-
ton, emotional surges-it all ran
through this meet. But through
it all runs this premise: You can't
top it for sheer entertainment.
Nomination for most excit-
ing moment: The electric in
slant when two teams, finely
matched, p0ise on the starting
gun.
Bill Halos, whose Deer Creek
club snapped at the 21st victory,
seems to have q coach's complex
I've known other coaches, who, If
not definitely superstitious, had a
few foibles. The other night
when Long Prairie and Deer
Creek trotted onto the floor with
identically colored jerseys, coaches
Halos and Mcleod tossed. Halos
won and didn't change. He was
gleeful and probably attributes his
scant win to his good fortune. IT
don't like to change" he said, wag-
ging his head, makes a difference"
Then half apologizing for his SEEM
ing paganism in this year of en-
lightenment he said, THAT may
sound like superstition but it's a
fact"
The dOpesters who had this
one all figured out had some
sweet headaches. This column
had the idea all along that
this race would be q scrambled

Osalxis might not last. But
way back In the beginning
Osakis was touted, everyone
was out after her. But then
came rumblings that Alexan-
dria was moving fast, that
GlenwOOd was coming along,
that Melrose was the real con-
tender. >. Finally In the hush
that just preceded tournament
play, the name of Deer Creek,
with not single loss, was muir

Bertha? Nobody ever heard of
her. So she rode In q dark
horse ticket with one of the

meet. Melrose hung tight,

Surprising thing to me is that

is one of Robins outstanding mas
terpieces, made originally to be
placed in the "Gates of He'll" COM
missioned for a doorway at the
projected Palais des Arts Decora-

a biography of Rodin published
last year, the late Victor Frisch,

was for some years assistant to
the great Frenchman, mentions
Eve" as one of three works which
would alone have insured Rodin' S
greatness.
"Paolo and Francesca" marble
given to the Corcoran by Mrs. Eu-
gene Meyer, is one of several ver-
sions Rodin made of the theme,
from Dante's Inferno. The figures
are partially imprisoned in the
rough marble.
The drypoint, In the Division of
Graphic Arts, has an interesting
history. In 1881, Rodin was visit
ing his friend, Alphonse Legros, in
London, who was one of the most
accomplished etchers of the time.
Rodin admired his work, and Legros
explained the technique briefly, then
left the sculptor alone with tools

At the same time that the "all-
American" exhibition of paintings
is on view in the Corcoran there
is also to be seen there in adjacent
rooms a collection of 100 prints as
sembled by the National Committee
of Engraving, representing three
centuries of print-making in this
country. This is announced as IN
honor of the occasion of the former
showing which it will be found ad-
mirably to support and round out.
In the field of engraving the United
States has made one of its most
important contributions to the art
of the world. This, as nearly every
one must know, was in the develop
ment of wood engraving to per-
fection not previously attained-the
engravers being Timothy Cole and
Henry Wolf, neither of whom is now
living. Also in the field of etching,
we in this country have more than
held our own, Whistler and Mary
Cassatt being placed among the
ranks of the great, to say nothing
of Pennell, Haskell, Hassam and
many now living.
The president of the American
National Committee of Engraving,
John Taylor Arms, under whose
supervision these prints were
brought together, is outstanding as
etcher and connoisseur, and there
fore this particular exhibition comes
with full guarantee of merit and
character.
In all probability the intent is to
send the collection later on a circuit
in South and Central America, as
the direction of international ex-
changes is one of the committees
chief functions. 1t will be reviewed
later in these columns. Three Wash
ingtonians are members Of the hon.
orary committee of this national or
ganiZation - Leicester B. Holland,
head of the Division of Fine Arts of
the Library of Congress; Ruel P.
Tolman, acting director of the ma
tional collection of fine arts, Smith
sonian Institution, and the writer.
