The Kappa Sigma team won the
basketball league championship of the University last Saturday afternoon when they defeated
the fast A. T. O. bunch in the gym
by the score of 38 to 34. The championship carries with It the possession
of the silver cup awarded by the
Council.
The game thruout was fast and
furiouB, the playing at times being of
real varsity caliber. The score at the
in
end of the first half stood at
favor of the Kappa Sigs. At the end
of the second half the scorekeepers
disagreed, one counting the points at
with A.
and the other at
T. O. trailing. According to the rules
the lower score counted and the game
was declared a tie. In the
play-of- f
Kappa Sigma caged three baskets to Alpha Tau's one.
The star work of the game was done
by Archer, a Cumberland College product, and Thomas, the Lexington High
School star wiho recently matriculated at the University. The goal shooting and floor work of both these men
was remarkable. Others who did well
were Evans and Berckman, for Kappa
Sigma, and Hopkins, Moseley and
Scrivener, for A. T. O.
Both teams had a clean record until
Saturday.
The last games will be
played next Saturday. Kappa Sigma's
team have finished their schedule.

MEN ARE

OUT

The track team under the direction
of "Dad" Boles, a Zuppke product, will
endeavor to stage a comeback on the
cinder patli and with the weights this
season. The team will be built from
material selected from the thirty-fivor forty men who are out. Determined effort is bting made by Coach
Boles and Dr. Tigert to instill a spirit
of 'greater interest in track athletics
than has been manifested in the last
few years.
Nuclei of the team will be Captain
Earle Grabfelder, the undisputed
sprinting champion of the State since
the retirement of Sid Cowles from
the otmder path, and Hickerson, a
weight man who gave great promise
in his Freshman year, who is expected to show even greater ability with
the shot, discus and hammer this
season.
Gus Gay, a former Lexington High
School star, and Heber, a football
man, are the men of the high aspirations. Gay has been clearing the bar
in 'practice at 5 feet 4 inches and is
still in early season form.
Oldham and Parker are interested
in the hurdles. The distance runners,
who are for the most part new men,
are out in great numbers.
Meets are scheduled with Georgetown and Vanderbilt and negotiations
are now under way for a meet with
Sewanee.
A team will be selected from Grabfelder, Shinnick, Kinne, Corn. Bron-stoanid Knight to represent the University in an indoor meet to be held
in the armory at Louisville on Satur
day. The
athletes have
been showing up particularly well in
early practice.

Messrs. Shubert will send to the
Lexington Opera House, Saturday
matinee and night. March 24. their
most pretentious, most tuneful and
worthiest musical play, "Alone at
Last," which boasts of a score by
Franz Lehar, composer of "The Mer
ry Widow," and with a cast including
Harry Conor, Forrest Huff, FritsI von
Busing, Mabel Weeks, Jean McArthur,
Robinson Nowbold, Elizabeth Goodall,
H. T. Hanlin, John E. Wheeler and 70
others. Tho play has just concluded
a successful engagement in Chicago
and last season ran for six months in
New York and also enjoyed prosper- ous seasons in Boston and Philadel- Phia.
Originally it was produced abroad
under the title of "Endlich Allein"
and was brought over by Messrs. Shubert who regard "Alone at Last" as
their most triumphant production,
which is a bold statement in view of
the many mosb successful musical
productions made by this firm.
The play boasts of several spectacular scenes, one of which shows the
famous Jungfrau to the peak of which
a party of tourists ascends in full
view of the audience. A special symphonic orchestra is required to interpret the play, which is carried by the
company. Advertisement.

Even the Boston Symphony, which
undoubtedly stands at the"head ot or

lias to take a second place when Rus

cent concert in Troy, N. Y., the critic
of The Troy Times wrote:

had intensity, the vehemence which the composition seems
to require.
Any fear that Russian
music might be monotonous was banished by the opera 'Eugen Onegin'
whidh like the other Tschaikbwsky
work, the symphony, was full of de
lightfully flowing music, tenderly sentimental in motif and elaborated with
imaginative luxuriance."

Toronto World said in part:
"Then came two delightful Caucasian sketches. The first of these was
remarkable for the opportunity it gave

Tho dark and mysterious secrets
which lurk behind tho Philosophian
Literary .Society door at Patt, Hall
were revealed last Friday morning
when a mock meeting of the society
was held.
Tho first part of tho meeting was
given to a business session. The
major part of the business consisted
In gossip which, covered everything
from faculty romances to tho scenes
which might bo seen between tho
blinking of the lights at tho hall. The
roll call disclosed the fact that at least
50 per cent of their members attend
,
tho meetings.
The first number on the program
was an essay on "How a Mud Pence
Looks on a Rainy Day," by Miss Richmond. She received loud applause
from the others who were on the program Inasmuch as she had agreed to
clap for them in return.
The next feature was a solo by
Miss Edith Sachs. The spectators are
all everlastingly obliged to her for
making it so low. Following next
was a debate on "Resolved That Bach
elors Should Be Taxed." The affirma
tive was upheld by Miss Cook; the
negative was ably supported by Miss
Mary Ricketts. After Miss Lena Clem
hald succeeded in separating the debaters, the decision was rendered as
Badhelors should not be

would be under such a heavy expense
that they couldn't lake the girls to

After formulating plans for boycotting all members of the Union and
Patterson Societies because the latter
have already expressed! dislike for
them, the meeting adjourned.

A Democratic Army.
The United States is in the throes of military fervor at present. College men in particular have shown
that they have the desire to defend their country's
spirit to spend hours in
rights and the
drill. Transylvania College this week announced that
its students had approved the plan to form a company
on their campus, following the lead of Harvard and
other Eastern schools. The state universities of the
West already have their battalions and regiments. In
case of actual hostilities the college men of the country
will be heard from.
Americans are not militaristic; they hate the thot
of universal service, even tho they realize it is necessary. The college students who voluntarily put themselves under the discipline of officers are to be commended for doing so. They had to conquer the national
repugnance to military service in order to go into the
affair as they have.
The writer has always felt that a great part of the
American disinclination for army life was due to the

for officers and privates. An American usually believes that he is just as good as anybody else; an army
officer has to impress on him, if he is a private or a non-cothe fact that officers are not of the common herd.
We hear of the militia lieutenant on the border who
dined with his privates, whom he knew intimately back
home, and was
for his grievous offense.
We do not approve. We read in magazines some perhaps overdrawn accounts of the insolence of European
officers to civilians, of shoving off the sidewalk, of ordering good people from their restaurant tables, and
we immediately begin to have blue fits about the "military caste." Somehow or other we have the idea that a
private is not a clod of earth, but a creature of the same
clay of which officers are molded. We believe in a democratic army as well as in a democratic government.
The English, at the beginning of the great war, believed that common soldiers would not fight unless they
were led by "gentlemen," but when the war had gone on
a few months and the "gentlemen" were pretty well
killed off, officers had to be recruited from the ranks.
Contrary to expectations the fighting spirit and efficiency did not suffer because both parties, the man
with the sword and the man with the rifle, could meet
on the same social footing. The French army, modeled
