Stage Is Tamer Than Journalism, Declares K. U. GradIn "Follies" Maren Berdine Says Work is Irksome and Lack of Rest Decreases Pep Maren Berdine, sopramile run the Greenwich Village Follies, appearing at the Shubert Theatre in Kansas City last week, known here as Maren Sawyer, A. B. 20, throws a ball into the net and stages a door-joombs "Johnnies." Miss Bardine said, "Our business is largely a matter of routine, rather than a succession of flowers, candies, sweets." If we need to our necessary or customary amount of sleep, it will show the next day, and we'll sing and dance like missionaries, instead of peppy and spirited performers which the management says we shall be. In fact this may be more than that in a newspaper office." This last statement comes from a reliable source, for Miss Berdine was on the staff of the Kansas City Post, after her graduation from the University of Kansas. After a year with the Post she went to New York where she had a post at Barnard and also wrote in "Lady Billy," of which Mitch Hajos was the star. She has been on tour with the Follis since October. ) "But I have not forgotten my college days," she continued, "for I find that there are more college girls coming to the stage these days. And why not, they find it just as respectable as school teaching and much more interesting. Then, too, after one has been through college, with its various activities, one is ready for anything. But one doesn't talk about one's college education, for stage people don't talk a great deal about stage characters. However, an constantly finding people who are college graduates, and who are just as enthusiastic and mindful of their college days as I am." Miss Bardine, the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Sawyer, of Kansas City, was prominent in dramatic work while in school here, appearing in "Mrs. Temple's Telegram" and various other plays put on by the Dramatic Club. She is a member of Alemania. Spring Grid Drill Starts Potsy Cuts His Class Into Two Sections Coach George Potsy Clark met the entire Kansas spring training squad in football Saturday afternoon, and outlined the plans for outdoor training on the practice field, to start this week. Moleskins will be checked out to old varisty men, and the freshman varsity of next fall, this week, and the mortillual will receive suits next week. The schedule for practices as announced in the Kansas last week still obtains. The huge grid squad is divided in two, the first half—consisting of old material—meeting on Monday and Friday of each week for work-outs, and the second on Tuesday and Thursday of each week. On Monday, the entire group put the men through "skill practice," and on Saturday, the entire spring training squad will turn out for practice on the field. Alumnus Accepts "Y" Position Lyle O.

Together, the two Jayawaker forms forward an integral band, which she plays on the Oreorea on the top rung of the Conference ladder. SPORT BRIEFS DeVaughn Francis Craig Ruby, head coach of basketball at the University of Illinois, thus outlines the differences in the game between the Big Ten (Western Conference) and the Missouri Valley Conference. Ruby is a former University of Missouri man, a player and coach. The following is a partial reprint from the morning Kansas City Times: 1. The BIG Ten Conference has better letter grades than the NFC and possibly more good high school coaches, but also more poor high school coaches. The teams show a better coveted and more detailed system of offense than the average in the Big Ten. 7. "Defense is developed much more in the litter Ten than it is in the Valley, bib Ten than in the Missouri Valley. The .5 range of team-clubs is not so great in the Big Ten than in the Missouri Valley. The last place team often defends the first place *M. Missouri' and Kansas would rank well up in the Western Conference, but they would lose more than one or two games in entire "season." Being a Big Ten coach, it is only natural that Ruby will not admit the superiority of the game on Valley courts as compared to the game on However, figures, although they Western Conference courts, are unduly shuffled sometimes. are Minnesota's measure last season, 32 to 11, with little or no trouble. Minnesota followed immediately by defeating Wisconsin, 17 to 15. And Wisconsin finished the season in a tie for the Big Ten. If, as Ruby says, the Big Ten teams are more evenly bunched in quality than those of the Missouri Valley, K. U., M. U., and a following of lesser lights in the Valley Conference would have little trouble in setting and maintaining the pace in the Western Conference. Ruby concedes the best defense machine in the Valley to the Kansans. Kansas has a better defense than it had last season, and has as good, if not a better, team than had last year. The Missouri Valley Conference has moved that the team which has the best percentage can play a Big Ten championship, and the closest to the close of the season. We're not saying anything, but should the Valley champions play a Big Ten team after a full season's practice, it is probably that their assays would change color. $2 $2.50 $3 Heartless Women Playing Basketball [Collar Attached Shirts The Shirts of Better Quality for Less Cash, Featured at "Hello, how's your heart?"

SkofStad SYSTEM ELLING “Oh, girls, I guess I haven't any heart; she had an awful time finding it.” "What's the matter? Did you lose it?" "No, she finally found it, but she said it wasn't worth much when she got it." This is not a scene in a comedy, but is in Dr. Martha Bacon's office. All of the women who are trying out for basketball are required to undergo a heart examination. All have rushed for a last-minute examination before practice. All is excitement, for everyone has been told, or is just about to be told the condition of her heart. The doctor then applies one can easily believe that all the K. U. women who are desirous of such information have turned out for basketball so that the examination will not excite suspicion. School of Education to Entertain Invitations have been received by juniors, seniors, and graduates of the School of Education, for an informal party to be given Saturday evening at the University Commons by the faculty of the School of Education and their wives.
