Machinist Mate Dies Of Scarlet Fever
The body of Robert William Young, machinist mate from Worcester, Mass., who died of scarlet fever at 6:15 p.m. Monday in Watkins Memorial hospital, was taken east for burial yesterday. This was the first death at the naval training station since it was established at the University July 1, 1942.
A fireman first class, Young was graduated from the training school Friday, and entered the hospital that evening unable to attend the graduation exercises.
F1-C Young is survived by his wife, Betty Young, also of Worcester, Mass., who was here Friday and left for her home as Young was to leave at once for overseas duty. He was believed out of danger when she left.
Twenty-one years old, he entered service in August, 1943, and reported for training at the University on October 28, 1943, from Newport, R. I. He was a member of the seventeenth division of the Machinist Mates training unit.
Alpha Chi Omega has announced the pinning of Faye Elledge, Business senior, to Pvt. E. J. Netzer; Jr., of the Army air corps.
Elledge-Netzer Pinning Announced
Pvt. Netzer was a student at the University last year. He is a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity.
Miss Elledge received an orchid corsage. Her roommates, Margaret Fesler and Betty Ann Hopkins, who assisted in the pinning ceremony, received corsages of red and white carnations. Mrs. W. W. Chochrane, housemother, had a gardenia corsage. The traditional candy was passed, and the house received a bouquet of spring flowers.
Miss Elledge is the daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. E. R. Elledge of Wichita. Pvt. Netzer is the son of Mr. and Mrs. E. J. Netzer of Lawrence.

Memorizing 500 speeches and 500 cues combine to make "Close Quarters," the two-character play to be presented Tuesday and Wednesday, March 7 and 8, one of the most difficult jobs of memorization in modern drama. Prof. and Mrs. Allen Crafton will star in the play by Somin which will ring curtain up at 8:15 pm. in Fraser theater.
Craftons Memorize 500 Speeches, Cues For Play Next Week
"The average play contains about one thousand speeches" commented Professor Crafton, "which are generally divided so that each actor averages between 100 and 150.
Few Characters Increase Work
"In 'Close Quarters' the two actors have to memorize about five times the usual amount. The parts of both Liesa and Gustav are, in this respect, more difficult than learning the lines of Hamlet. In most plays, two weeks is sufficient for the cast to memorize their parts. In this play, five weeks were necessary," he said.
The setting of the play is the flat of Gustav and Liesa Bergmann in a city in central Europe. The time
The Machinist's Mates split their twin bill in Lawrence league play last night, winning from the S.O.W. Ads. 37-31, and losing to the Irish Rascals. 46-29.
MM's Beat S.O.W., Lose to Irish Rascals
Koskela led the navy men in the scoring, counting 12 points against the S.O.W. team and 13 against the Rascals. Fore, with 14 points, led the S.O.W. team.
Hare, towering Indian, again led the Rascals in scoring with 11 points, seconded by Owen with 8, in their defeat of the MM. The Rascals were ahead at the half, 18-15.
The Ship's company will oppose the Rascals in the first game at the community building tonight, and the two S.O.W. teams, the Ads, and the Techs., will square off in the second game.
The Blanks will play a twin bill March 1, meeting both the Irish Rascals and the S.O.W. Techs. The following evening finds V-12 vs. Irish Rascals, and Blanks vs. MM.
of the play is the period between World Wars I and II, and the theme depicts the effect of a murder in the life of a middle-aged couple in the succeeding 36 hours.
Fickets Secured at Green
"No admission charge will be made to the play," said Professor Crafton, "but in order to know the size house we will have each night, tickets must be secured at the ticket office in the basement of Green hall on March 6.7.or8.
Students should present their activity tickets, either the winter or spring one, at the ticket office. Townpeople and others may also obtain tickets either by telephoning or going to the ticket office in Green hall," he urged.

Jayhawks Promise Better Showing At Big Six Indoor Meet Saturday
It will be a vastly different track and field team representing Kansas at Saturday night's Big Six indoor meet in Kansas City's Municipal Auditorium than has been the case in recent years.
Last year the Jayhawks brought up the rear with a mere four points, but this winter, with Ray Kanehl at the helm, the Kansas light clads have captured two meets with Kansas State, Missouri, and Nebraska as foes. The latter two finished first and second in that finished last year's Big Six event.
However, since the navy programs for the most part have accounted in the change of team strength, Kansas will probably find Iowa State and possibly Oklahoma of equal strength. The Cyclones, with eleven tracksters including such stars as Gast, hurdler and weight man, and Bliss, who placed fifth in the shot at the NCAA outdoor last spring, should pile up a good score.
Oklahoma, with only two lettermen back, will bring 15 men with Jones, dash man, and Heard, who is down for five events, as their chief threats. Missouri's Bussell should
