Skilton's 'Cheyenne War Dances' On Symphony Program Tonight
★★
He is an internationally - known composer. He has written six numbers for orchestra, four operas three choral works, one song cycle and a violin sonata. His most famous work has been played more than 500 times by orchestras from Budapest, Hungary, to Shanghai China.
★★
Charles Sanford Skilton, professor of organ in the School of Fine Arts
is the man. He is know far better the entire world, than he is on his own campus.
Founded Symphony in 1903
The University of Kansas Symphony orchestra, which he founded in 1903, will play "Cheyenne Indian War Dances" tonight, but they only will be following the example of a list of musical units which reads
****
like a chapter from a world-wide musical "Who's Who."
Buried under the welter of better-known music on tonight's program, the number is nevertheless a fine selection from the pen of a man who is a pioneer in bringing the music of America's Indian tribes to the world.
★★
Skilton got the tune of the composition from an Indian student at Haskell, Robert De Poe, in 1916 and wrote the composition from that.
Another composer on tonight's program, Richard Strauss, author of "The Merry Pranks of Till Eulenspiegel," is famous for a different reason. He is one of the select and small number of composers who have made a financial success of their music.

gear just last week, flashed better than average form in his first practice of the year.
Also calculated to aid the frosh war the growing possibility that veteran forward Howard Engleman, the varsity's chief offensive weapon, would see no service Friday because of a severe cold.
The yearlings will present one of their ablest teams in years. Overpowering height will be their keynote with plenty of genuine court ability to back it.
Accompanying Evans in the back line will be six-foot two-inch "Red" Ettinger, fine all-around athlete from Independence, Mo. Six-foot three-inch, 190-pound Charlie Black, a great prospect from Southwest high school of Kansas City, Mo., is certain to start at center. Handsome Paul Turner of Shawnee Mission, at six feet the shortest' man on the club, will team with six-foot six-inch Jack Ballard, another Southwest product at the forwards.
Two varsity starting slots are still uncertain. Virtually assured of answering the opening whistle, however, are center Bobby Allen, forward Bill Hogben, and guard John Kline. All are lettered seniors of tested ability.
Junior letterman Bob Johnson on bespectacled Marvin Sollenberger, smooth-working sophomore, will fill the second guard post; the remaining forward will be chosen from among Vance Hall, T. P. Hunter, and Charlie Walker. Norman Sanneman, senior, is another certain of service at Guard.
AS WE SEE IT---footballer Walt Sheridan enough new blood for harmony.
(continued from page four) Wilson and Bob Bond, a pair of 6 ft. 2 in. rebounders are back for another year. Dick Amerine and Kenny Hamilton will add necessary speed and Bob Quiring and
Last year seven sophomore football men under the moniker of Bucaneers struck fear into the hearts of all University title aspirants as they slaughtered a favored A. K. Psi club in their league windup to smash into the coveted playoffs with 10 consecutive victories.
This season four of those hardy battlers are still together. This time for the newly organized Tekes. And again they are a respected threat. Leading the way will be Adonis-like Hubert Ulrich, varsity grid end, and smooth-scooting Jake Fry, a teammate at halfback. Blond Ed Lindquist and hard-rebounding "Chuck" Dalyrimple will man two of the remaining three positions with a freshman in the fifth.
Classed in a second group of quite possible, but not probable kingpins are A. K. Psi, Beta Theta Pi, Sig Ep, and Delta Chi.
Last year's runner-up A. K. Psi outfit might well have been named in the first tier if not for the fact that it will lose forward Gene Funck and guard Eldreth Cadwalader at midsemester. Big "Red" Thompson, Chester Gibbens, and Lee Huddleston, will furnish enough strength to make the Business-men tough to the end, however.
The Betas too will be hit hard by the mid-semester harvest, losing center Bob Stoland and guard Dean Kipp. Veterans Fred Littooy and Bill Geiger and newcomers Harlan Altman and Bob O'Neil should maintain respectable year-long strength.
The Eps will again be more than troublesome with "Rudy" Savely and Bob Cooper returning while Ed Hall, an All-Star first and second teamer for the past two years, will again lead a potent Delta Chi five with better-than-average support from "Chuck" Wendstrand, Neil Lysaught, and John Burton.
Perhaps unjustly unrated are Sigma Chi, Sigma Nu, and A.T.O., but if one isn't satisfied he may write his own ticket for the champions.
