Dramatic Club Play Makes Hit With Audience
The Official Student Paper of the University of Kansas
"This Thing Called Love"
Presents a Fast
Moving Comedy
Of Today
Raluh Bryant, c'unc.
Kalp Bryant, 'cune.
Even staid George and Martha Washington would have laughed up-roomarily at the portmanteau of their names, be seduced by the Dramatic club in "This Thing Called Love" last night.
The cast did an excellent job of mood creation in the first act. With soft music on the radio, drinks were served, the characters paired off and chatted amiably, creating an atmosphere verging closely on the theme of "Abode of the Blessed" which was to be used to be scribe the buse. Like lightning the "Abode of the Blessed" is changed to "Madhouse of the Manias" when Miss Hollecker lets go with that gentle voice of hers.
Old Fraser theater resounded to the rattings of Sam Kimble c37, and Eather Hollecker, c37, characterizing Mr. and Mrs. Behrand, or to the applause and laughter of the large audience.
Her cohort, Larry Wightman, e37 transformed himself quickly from a long-lost stranger to a man totally familiar with the modern world.
Betty Ruth Smith, fa'37 as, Asn
the converted spinster, was perfecty at home on the stage, laughing spontaneously and loving fervently. Her movements were graceful and timely.
A
Fred Littleton, c39, could keep from smiling at his own jokes, but that's excusable when you consider that they're pretty good jokes and he didn't write them place. As Normie he finds one place where he licked when he tries to make Ann's marriage number five in his list of shamelessly uprooted love-matches. Every entrance of Mary Frances Mottin, c57, framed a picture in her eye of a typical college widow.
NUMBER 90
Lucile Wagner, fa38, always knew just what to say at just the right time. Her ability was exceptional at turning the conversation tenderly and engaging, a posture instead of leading them along the straight and narrow. But her husband, Joe Myers, e'unc), was used to it and thought his cause hopeless until harassed husband Michael had come up with that they leave the rowdy crowd.
Lucille Gaynor, c'uncel, and James Bradfield, c'uncel, played the butter and maid, small but necessary parts taking their cues promptly.
Seriously, the cast co-ordinated well, showing the artistry of its director, Rolla Nuckles, especially in their "ad-lib" scenes. Fast action, except for an occasional love scene, prevalent. The play began in a roar of excitement and ended in a flurry of confusion.

The bus plunged into a drift of snow which covered the hood of the machine and blocked the doors and made it necessary for the men to crawl through the windows. Coach Hargiss objected to the driver's suggestion to remain in the car overnight while the motor was running and urged that an effort be made to return to Sabetta. After two hours of labor in digging the bus out, the party returned to Sabetta at 1 o'clock Sunday morning. Most of the party were back at Harvett and several members.

Crowned Hop Queen
At Engine Ball
Climaxing a heated contest which lasted exactly a week Mary Katherine Dorman, c37, was crowned queen of the engineers at their annual Hob Nail Hop Fridays at the half-hour hour-long NBC blue network hook-up through WREN, Miss Dormin, better known as "Dormine," was called before the microphone and presented with a minimal slide-rue by Lewis Bentz, c37, president of the Engineering Coun-
"Oh," she exclaimed excitedly,
"I'm just thrilled to death. Thank
you a lot and I sure think you're
baving one sweet party."
Dorman, member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority, is society editor of the University Daily Kanus, and editor of the "Eoed" issue of Sow Owl Jr. If the engineering student is checking on the part of the law students at whose expense much of the advertisement for the Hop may be contributed, they were disappointed. The law either from lack of understanding or consideration politely allowed the engineers to have their fun unmolested.

Hill Billies Stomp a Snappy Foot To Snortin' Syncopated Swing
The vaunted offensive drive of the Oklahomaans was never allowed to get under way as the Kansas team rapidly got up steam and left the Sooners panting far behind. The Sooners led by Tee Connelley, arch-villain extraordinary, were so hope-
A vicious, driving offensive and a sturdy defense gave the Jayhawkers a 39-19 victory over Oklahoma last night in an important Big Six battle. By winning, Kansas kept on top in the conference standings and practically put a permanent damper on any title hopes which the Sooners might have had.
To the music of John Millon Phillips and his Phil Gam Hill Billy Snorinii Syncpitors, 16 University women and women squared off into an old-fashioned barn舞 (the real McCoy) between halves of the Kansas-Oklahoma basketball game last night in the Auditorium.
The aggregation was directed by the dainty shouts of Miss Maxine Woody, e438, who called the dance in true Arkansas to her husband and the department of physical education, was supervisor of the group.

The yokels did a group of three numbers, with an added attraction of a hop, skip and jump number by Harry O'Killey, c 28, and Jane Waring, e 40. The first dance was a quadrille, in which each couple was placed at the corner of a square. Then came the Virginia Reel, and Pop Goes the Weasel. The reel was
accompanied by "Turkey in the Straw", and the latter number by "Pop Goes the Weasel."

*lessly outclassed that they turned the game into a brawl in the second half.
Especially brilliant for the inspired Kansas team which allowed Oklahoma to one field goal the entire first half were Al Welhausen, lanky center, Fred Praille, and diminutive Roy Halliday who played easily the best game of his scrappy crew. The noisy crew of 5300 gave Holiday a tremendous hand when he left the game late in the half after he gave the popular Connelley a much-deserved crash into the seats along the sidelines.
An example of the airtight defense displayed by the Jayhawk may be shown by the fact that Oklahoma's only field goal came with only 10 seconds remaining in the first half.
Martin, Oklahoma's high scoring guard who scored 14 points against Kansas at Norman was able to get on the board to throw for his entire half.
An Early Kansas Lead
An Early Kansas Test
Noble started the scoring with a side shot after two minutes had taken to the total by shyling a neat shot from near the free throw line and drawing a foul on the play. Wellhausen fought off several Sooners to cage a rebound and Kansas led 7 to 0 after 4 minutes had been played. Oklahoma called for a draw, letting little fortune to give a free throw and made it to give Oklahoma its first point after 5 minutes had passed. Prale brought the crowd to its feet as he drove in to net a tip-in after Rogers had missed a short shot. Then Wellhausen and Prale scored one in quick succession to make the score 11 minutes gone. The beuffelded Southerners again called time out.
However the rest apparently didn't help them much for Holiday brought the Kansas total to 14 on a free throw. Martin then got his lone point of the half by making Oklahoma's second point after 12 minutes had ticked away. The aggressive Mr. Connellley drew a rear head of disapproval down on his massive head by trying to shove Noble
