Friday's Results
Howell, 15; Caldwell, 7.
Strickler, 13; Bird, 12.
Buller, 7; Smith, 6.
Howell and Smith are still panting in front of the mob as the final rounds of the softball games are almost over. Buller and Strickler are tagging along with Bird and Caldwell almost out of sight in the dust.
In last week's play, Howell retained his lead by handing the lowly Caldwell a 15 to 7 defeat. Buller narrowed his margin by nosing out Smith, 7-6. The worm almost turned when Bird came within one run of catching Strickler in the 13 to 12 track meet they staged.
The schedule for Thursday is for only two games, Bird vs. Buller, and Caldwell vs. Smith. The last games of the season to be played Monday, July 26, will be between Bird and Howell, Strickler and Smith.

Mrs. Althaus to Entertain Students' Wives Tomorrow
The third of a series of parties given by education faculty wives for student wives will be held tomorrow at the home of Mrs. C. B. Althaus, 930 Oak. Assisting hostesses will be Mrs. Bert Nash and Mrs. Austin Turnew.
The hour of the party has been advanced to 2:30 instead of 3 o'clock because of the Education banquet in the evening.
Transportation to the Althaus home has been arranged for guests.
A newspaper item informs us that Eskimos aren't afraid of the devil's abode, believing it would be a sort of paradise, where they could escape from the cold. Now isn't that a hell of a note!
Vesper Services Justify Attendance
Audience Amply Repaid Sunday for Braving Storm; Rain Barely Misses
A program of uniform excellence rewarded the attendance of a large audience at the musical vespers conducted in Hoch auditorium Sunday night.
The vesper services ended a few minutes ahead of a heavy rainstorm, which interrupted a later musical program outdoors. Cool atmospheric conditions preceding the rain made the vesper services even more enjoyable.
The summer camp orchestra under David Lawson opened with the overture to "Martha," by Flotow. Following that, Dean Swarthout's A Cappella choir, organized three weeks ago, appeared in two groups of unaccompanied numbers. The first series was from Aichinger and Palestrina, sung with Latin text. These numbers date from the sixteenth century. The second group included Nathaniel Dett's "O Holy Lord," and Noble Cain's arrangement of the spiritual, "It's Me, O Lord."
A high point in the program was the slow movement from Bach's double concerto for violin, featuring Frances Robinson and Prof. Waldemar Geltch, with accompaniment by a string orchestra under Mr. Lawson.
The University String Trio, with Ruth Orcutt, piano; Mr. Geltch, violin; and Dean Swarthout, 'cello, contributed the opening movement of the C minor trio for those instruments by Alexander Gretcheninoff.
Last on the program was a number new to Lawrence audiences, Walter Damrosch's choral prelude based on the old German chorale, "A Mighty Fortress is Our God." The A Cappella choir assisted the orchestra in giving this number.

Inspiration of Movie Camera Blamed For Unexpected Activity by Musicians
"Seeing the birdie" brought forth unusual noise and entertainment yesterday morning when Mid-Western Camp musicians had their pictures taken for a moving picture reel which will be used for camp advertising purposes. It was a near riot.
With the woodwinds playing "Hail, Hail the Gang's All Here;" the brasses blasting away on the "Old Gray Mare;" another section or two warming up on "The Merry Go-Round Broke Down;" and the rest running chromatic scales, Dean Swarthout, who had been inveigled into waving the baton, struggled in vain to weave a little harmony and rhythm into the conglomeration, gave up, and walked away—but not before the moving picture camera had recorded the scene for music festivals, contests, and high school music students to see.
"Sounds! Action! Camera!" And there was another good shot. Conductors contorting; basses booping-booping; drums dum-di-dumming:
all the actions that have brought forth the noises, weird or sweet, that have been resounding from the halls of Hoch Auditorium; scenes from the dormitories—the boys being pulled out of bed to do their calesthenics at the Delta Chi house; the whoooping-cough sign on the office door of one of the private teachers; sports of all kinds—tennis, swimming, horse-shoe pitching—scenes from the girls' dorm at the Sigma Kappa house. All these will constitute a reel which will require 30 minutes to show.
The reel will be shown at the Omaha Music festival, at the festival here; at the Missouri State contest; at the Wichita State Music Contest; and in many high schools.
To be sure, they did make a lot of rumpus, which was a little hard on unappreciative students trying to have classes in the surrounding buildings.
But the kids had a grand time. -L.G.
Will Teach Here
Dr. Vernon W. Lapp of Kansas City, Mo., has been appointed as assistant professor of physical education at the University it was announced today by the office of Chancellor Lindley. This completes the staff of physical education, which next fall begins a four-year program, to be directed by Dr. Forrest C. Allen, and administered under the School of Education.

He won three letters in track at Iowa, and was the Iowa and Midwest A.A. U. hammer-throw champion. He was research assistant at the University of Iowa in 1930-31, and since that time has been directing physical education in Kansas City. His M.

Name Officials For Field Day
Umpires Twente and Nash Assure Fair Play at "Battle of Century"
Commissioner Doc Twente and Ump Bertie Nash have been named as the "fair and impartial" umpires to work the all-star softball which will feature the first annual field day next Saturday morning. Unofficial reports said today that the titanic tussle between the professionals and college boys will merit a new deal of seven umpires.
One more large event has been added to the list—a race for fat men. This is in addition to the list of 12 events previously given. A definite time schedule and the players of the all-star teams will be published Friday.
Jay Plumley has issued a special invitation to all women in the University, saying, "There will be plenty doing for the women—all kinds of special events."
"Phog" Allen and "Fairplay" Schwegler have been appointed honorary field judges for the events—all of which will be held Saturday morning on the field just east of the stadium.
Nash to Speak At Forum Tonight
Prof. Bert Nash of the School of Education will speak on mental hygiene and its relation to teaching at the regular weekly education forum scheduled for 7 p.m. today at Fraser theater. A general discussion will follow the address.
Among the aspects of the subject which Professor Nash expects to take up are factors in personality of pupils often overlooked by teachers, and general problems of deviation in personality of pupils.
Forums last one hour.
