until the last inning when he gave up four hits and nine walks. The Alph's had no trouble solving the deliveries of Eldon Williams and Paul Turner for 18 hits and numerous walks. Jack Ballard showed up well for the victors, getting three hits in four official trips to the plate. Don Johnson led the losers, getting one hit in two trips.
Although out-hit the boys from Carruth Hall managed to eke out a hard fought victory over Battenfeld Hall. 5 to 3. Marion Nunemaker, pitching for the victors, allowed 8 hits but kept them well scattered and tightened up in the pinches to lead his mates. Leonard Hays, although giving only 6 hits showed signs of wildness and was ineffective in the clutch. Ralph Anderson showed well for the winners getting one-third of his team's hits in three trips to the plate. Dave Rosen led the Battenfield team with two hits in three times up.
In another ragged game the I.R.G. team paced by Tom Dooley defended the Jayhawk Co-op team 14 to 5. Smith was on the mound for the winners and John Lo Pinto hurled for the losers. The I.R.G. team hopped on Lo Pinto for 19 hits to pound
Symphony to Feature Strauss' 'Death' Tonight
When a composer makes a lucrative living from music, he must be good. When he does it by writing serious music, he must be better. That's what Richard Strauss has done, so he should at least be pretty good. Anyway, persons who claim to know are comparing him with such illustrious names as Bach and Beethoven.
When Walt Disney was dreaming up "Fantasia," he cabled Strauss (so the story goes) and asked what he (Strauss) would throw to let him (Dinosa)
Strauss (so the story goes) charge to let him (Disney) use Till Eulenspiegel for background music in the cartoon. Strauss cabled back that the price would be $75,000. Back went Disney's reply telling Strauss that of course he knew where he could go, and Till too. Said Strauss, "Okay, but the price is still $75,000."
One of this man's most famous works, "Death and Transfiguration," will be presented by the University symphony in its spring concert tonight. "Death" is a symphony complete in one movement, a musical narrative portraying the death of a man and the transfiguration of his soul.
Thinks Back to Childhood
The piece opens in a sick-room. The irregular breathing of a man near death is heard—his flighting thoughts of childhood—this is the theme of the first section.
Then comes delirium. The man's very body and soul are torn by the agony of fever and the approach of death. Writhing melodies expressing pain, impatience, and excitement are pitted one against another. The opening irregular rhythm of breathing is now excited and agonizing. A halting figure from time to time is the insistence of Fate that the struggle for life be given up.
The first vision of man's transfiguration is seen as a steady rising melody of six notes played by the low strings and brasses. But a frenzied chord indicates that the man is reluctant to die. A short irregular pulsation follows, after which the violins quietly rise to a new realm. Life Passes In Review
Following in rapid succession are scenes from his life as the man fights against death. First he dreams of the simplicity and sweetness of
childhood, then the joy of youth, and finally manhood, when life in its fullest expression of passion and strength is interrupted only by Fate with its eternal questions of "Whither and Why?"
Again transfiguration is offered, this time with the added insistence of the entire orchestra. But still the man does not give up; rather he dreams of his past life. Once more is heard the motive of transfiguration, stronger and longer, but the melodies that follow are of youth intermingled with pain.
Peace In Life After Death
However, the third time the vision of transfiguration appears, the soul of mortal man is completely enfolded by the grandeur and strength of life after death. All that remains of life before death is the meager suggestion of the breath of life along with man's struggle with fate. Then the entry into the celestial realm, the life after death consisting of heavenly peace and repose.
This piece is seldom performed by orchestras of less than 100 members, and the University orchestra has taxed itself heavily preparing itself for its presentation, Karl Kuersteiner, director of the orchestra said. Some of the instruments required are little used in other music, and one of them had to be brought from out of town, the contra bassoon, which will be played by Jeanne Meyer, college sophomore.
The three women's residence halls at the University will remain open for both summer sessions. Miss Marie Miller, assistant adviser of women, announced today.
Open Women's Dorms To Summer Session
Miller hall will be a co-op unit,— Watkins hall will be open for rooms only, and Corbin hall will be open for room and two meals a day.
One of the great pictures of all times. "To the Shores of Tripoli" comes to the Jayhawker Wednesday for 4 days.
World at War to Hear Professor Dade Thursday
E. B. Dade, professor of economics, will speak at the World at War lecture, 7:30, Thursday evening. Professor Dade's speech will be entitled "Resources of the Warrring Powers" and in the lecture he will endeavor to show the relative strength and weaknesses of the countries now at war. By this comparison he hopes to point out the prospects for victory of the United Nations.
Here they are, the stars of the sensational new Technicolor hit, "To the Shores of Tripoli." John Payne, Maureen O'Hara and Randolph Scott were awarded the coveted roles in the 20th Century-Fox film produced by Darryl F. Zanuck, and from all reports they turn in the best performances of their careers.
