UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN, LAWRENCE, KANSAS
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1943
From the Sidelines
By Bob Bock, Kansan Sports Editor
The Kansas Jayhawks should start their season off right in tomorrow night's initial encounter with the Herington Army Air Base cage quintet. The Airmen in their opening game against Sterling College last week rang up a 54 to 24 victory, with DeSchaine dropping in 20 points to take scoring honors. Granting that the army boys will be tough. Dr. F. C. Allen should be able to put a team on the floor at least 30 points better than little Sterling College's best.
There might be sceptics after watching the youthful Jayhawks take a drubbing from the ASTP in their Homecoming "intramural" game. Incidentally, this game was not counted as a regular season game, but a game later in the season with the Lindley Hall boys when the varsity is at full strength will be counted as a regularly scheduled contest.
**
The Jayhawks have been greatly strengthened since then. Don Barrington, a powerful rebounder, has been taken off restriction and is now eligible for the first time since Oklahoma football game. Also eligible is L. J. "Bud" Palmer, tall quarterback or center, who was also ineligible. The addition of five football men—Charles Moffett, George Dick, Robert Miller, Eddie Gibbons, and Junius Penny—should give the team some of that ruggedness necessary to keep in the running with these service teams whom Dr. Allen expects to be rough and tough. Dick, a letterman, and Moffett, star athlete from Peabody, especially are counted on to come through. However, last night was their first time out for practice and it will probably take a few days before they will be ready to go.
--ever have been demonstrated with words. The relentless will and warped affection of Ellen Creed, a cold, calculating woman, were brought out by the quiet force of Miss Wagner's acting.
The general opinion at the football banquet given by the Kansas Relays Club last evening was that Kansas football—the type that was exhibited in the last two games—was here to stay. Everyone saw the
Jayhawk grid destinies definitely on the upgrade. Although the same thing was opined before Ray Evans and Co. went off to war, the situation is different now. The government plans to leave the naval trainees in college, providing of course they don't wash out, until they have finished their prescribed course Thus, if Shenk and Schaake could have, and it appears they will, the undergraduate navy men back along with a few civilians, no telling what might come of the 1944 Kansas team. At ends Riegle and Kelleher will be back. Stucker would if he were to get in V-12, and George Dick could play his fourth season i Reece, Ekern, and Morton could for M.U. J. Penny probably would still be in school as he is deferred until he gets his degree. Frank Gruden will be around until November, and Faulkner, Dreher, and Keller will still be here with the V-12. Hird probably will be taken in the armed forces although Dar Chase, a trainee, can be counted on Most rosy is the backfield situation Bob George, Joe Dickey, John Bergin, Bob Miller, Governor Hamm should be back as they are all in V-12. Charles Moffett, 4F, would round out the backfield. So counting our chickens before they hatch Kansas University will be a power to be reckoned with in football circles next season.

line, Roberta Sue McCluggage, as Emily, one of the balmy Creek sisters, stopped the audience dead. After her first entrance, she soled every time she appeared on the stage. The audience laughed before she started speaking and wanted more when she finished. The lines weren't clever—it was the deadish drawl that hit the audience.
Lehmann Is Distinctive
Shirley Wagner, College freshman appearing for the first time on Fraser stage, conveved more to the audience by her facial expression than could
Hollis Elected to ISA;
Emily Hollis, College sophomore from Overbrook, was elected as a representative to sit with members on the ISA council at a meeting in the Memorial Union building last night. Plans for a mixer dance Saturday night, Dec. 11 are being formulated.
Needing no introduction or recommendations, Ted Lehmann, first year College and Law, stepped on the stage to steal more than one scene in the role of Albert Feather, a cad without a conscience and with weaknesses for women, picking locks, and "helping himself to his salary several years in advance." Lehmann was distinctive for his thick Cockney accent—and perhaps the drapeshape trousers he wore should be mentioned.
Ex-Chorus Girl Played by Gaba
Faye Gaba, College junior, proved a "natural" for the role of aging, roughed Leonora Fiske. In her intricately curled, red wig and beruffed gowns, Miss Fiske was still something of the decorative figure (with considerably more of it) which she had been in the days when she was the toast of London Music Halls. Miss Gaba admirably played the part of the ex-chorus girl who was enjoying the fruits of hard work in the world's two oldest professions for women.
Without a doubt, the best-looking deal in the play was the maid, Lucy Gilham, played very fetchingly by Shirley Rauch, College senior. Her English accent had a polish. Lois Wilson, a star in last year's production, "Distinguished Service," appeared as Sister Theresa, a middle-aged nun.
Play Is Set In London
The part of the second of the two "peculiar" (to put it politely) Creed sisters was played by Alice McDonnell, College senior. She did a remarkable job of being super-simple as a fluttering, timid, young-old spinster.
The play is set in 1885 in the Estuary House, Leonora Fiske's home,
Quack Club Finals Set for Tomorrow
Final Quack Club tryouts will be at 7:30 tomorrow evening, at Robinson gymnasium, Miss Ruth Hoover, sponsor, announced today. Seven girls have been asked to return for these tryouts, and anyone who is interested in Quack Club will have her last chance this season to try out, Miss Hoover said.
The seven girls who have been asked to return are Betty Nichols, Betty Alexander, Patricia Tuller, Betty Frank Carey, Jeanne McGrew, Joan Veatch, and Patricia Penny.
This is a required meeting for old members.
near the Thames river. Ellen Creed, housekeeper - companion of Miss Fiske, is saddled with two looney sisters and tries to billet them on Miss Fiske. When the "girls" strew her parlor with seaweed and dead birds, Miss Fiske tells them to be off; but being pennille as well as potty, they have nowhere to be off to. In order to give them a home, Ellen stages a murder and puts Miss Fiske away for good.
Humorous Episodes Contrast
She does a neat job, but unfortunately her snooping, thieving nephew, Albert Feather guesses what auyn has done and decides to blackmail her. The clash of wits and wills between the two keeps the play tense with excitement till near the end.
The two grisly moments in the play are contrasted with the many very light ones with the cavorting of the two sisters—mad Louisa gazing through a telescope and mad Emily dragging in driftwood. As the curtain drops they are blissfully playing with feathers.
The production cast, composed of Dramatic Workshop members, includes Allen Crafton, director; Virginia Cook, promper; Ken Higdon, Joe McClurg, and Mary Elizabeth Todd, lights; Patsy Creel, properties; Laura Belle Moore, and Betty Nichols, costumes; Evelyn Mercer, back stage; Lucile Wagner, music; and Bonnie Griswold, scenery assistant. The costumes used in the play were from Martin Giesen, St. Paul, Minn.
