All was ready for use ,the date for
"Father and the Boys" has finally been
arranged for Thursday, April 13, one
week from today, at the Lexington
Opera Hduse. The cast Is said by old
students to be the best that the Strollers have ever selected and with such
'
an excellent play as George Ade's
masterpiece It is being predicted that
this year's will be the greatest Stroller
. play of them all.
Plans are being made to make this
the one "big college night" with the
sky as the limit for enthusiasm, yells,
and good times at the Opera House.
Bill" Shinnick and the cast have
some surprises in store that will make
the students open their eyes and no
one should miss this good time. Reserve your seats early when they go
on sale Tuesday morning, April 11.
"Father and the Boys" is said by
all who have been fortunate enough
to witness the rehearsals to be the
best play the organization has ever
put on, and the consensus of opinion
is that it will be nothing less than
criminal negligence for an
person to miss this show.
The cast has been rehearsed, "bawled out" copiously and praised judiciously by the stage manager, "Bill"
Shinnick, since early in February until now they move through their lines
with the sinuous grace that is characteristic of the Strollers, but with
added vim and enthusiasm that is possessed only by this cast.
A prominent student,1' well known in
Y. M. C. A. circles and other college
activities, who was allowed to witness
a rehearsal last week, grew wild and
had to be held down by two stage
hands during one of the love scenes in
the latter part of the play. As soon
as he had been released he begged to
be informed when the seats would be
on sale, and threatened to shoot the
business manager if the information
was not slipped to him before the
pasteboards were put on the market.
After the stage manager and several

"Pety" Moore and a legion of workers are busily engaged now most of

Snturday afternoon,
that is while
Curt Park and his frisky bunch of regular Wildcat baseball aspirants are
not cavorting around the infield and
outfield, themselves getting in readiness for the game.
Coach "Bill" Tuttle, who has been
priming the Cats, believes that his
men will be In fairly good shape by
Saturday; afternoon,
and although
"Bill" is a modest man, confidentially,
he is intending to take the opener from
the Northerners.
Only a tentative line-ucan be
given at this time but it will be somewhat like the following: McClellan,
a southpaw, who won his spurs last
season will more than likely start the
game with Senator Crum doing the
receiving work. Captain Park will
station himself on the initial sack and
either Scott or Roark will hold down
the 'keystone position. Waters will be
the short stopper and "Dutch" Schrad- er will attempt to handle the fast
ones which are polled down the third-basline. "Red" Spaulding will see
that the left garden is properly guarded and the other two outfielders will
be chosen from Rodes, Mizrach,
and Kelley.
This game will mark the opening
of baseball this year in Lexington and
the hungry fans are licking their Hps
in anticipation of the first game of the
great national pastime in the city this
year.
