Next Year's Captain Says Practice Will Start After Tournament
George Rody was elected captain of the 1922 basketball team at the annual basketball banquet which was held at the Evercat Cafe last evening. Dr. Allen, "Scrubby" Laslett, captain of last season's basketball team, and George Nettle, captain of football and last year, addressed the meeting.
Following the banquet, Captain Boy made an informal talk to the squad, in which he stated that the 1922 basketball ball would start practice immediately after the high school basketball tournament, with he allowed purpose of being in condition to clean the Valley next season.
Dr. Allen thanked the team for its loyal support and its willingness to fight at all times. He said that although the team lost eight games, the moral victory in each case offset the defeat in points. He forecasted that next year's squad would duplicate the record of 1912-13.
Members of the squad who were present are: Ulrhaul, Body, Woeste meyer, Hook, Bennett, Wolf, Enda Meyer, Obsen, Olson, Bookman, Staplin, Knapp, Brown, Osman.

Baseball practice progressed merri-
ly last night. The "Varsity" beat
the "Scurb" in a 2-inning game by a
score of 9 to 0.
The Varsity infield is looking better every day. Isenberger, Murphy Wentzel and Blumer are an airtight quartet.
The pitching staff is still bothering Coach Lindsey, Body, Urhault, Marxen, Pierre, and Custer are slap non-commensurate. Body is the only one a portisier.
Nate Isenberger used his head once too often last night, and a ball was severely shattered.
Gray looked well behind the bat yesterday, but when Harley Little returns, he will probably go to the outfield.
"Ad" says that he believes there are some good ball players on the Hill who haven't come out yet. With the outfield and mound positions doubtful, there is still plenty of time to make the team.
Freshman baseball practice will start next week, the athletic department announced yesterday. "Dutch" Lonborg, last year's third baseman, will have charge of the yearling pill basseon.
BIG CROWD TO DUAL MEET
Office
Tickets Now on Sale at Athletic Office
"K. U, is going to have the biggest crowd it has ever sent down to a meet at the Missouri-Kansas Dual Meet in Reno." Dr. F. C. Allen said this morning.
Tickets are now on sale at the athletic office for both box and arena balcony and are selling rapidly. Big attendance is expected from every school, though the Laws seem to be loosening as soon as possible while several senior Engineers, when interviewed this morning, said that they had heard of no plans for the students of that school going down en masse. It is rumored that the teachers are taking their chief-desk-along to furnish extra pupil for the occasion.
RUSSIA SIGNS AGREEMENT
Britain is First Allied Power to Resume Relations
London, March 17.—Great Britain and Russia signed an agreement today which document was the first resumption of commercial agreement within an allied power. Russia made important concessions, the most noteworthy being an agreement to cease shevchev propaganda outside of Russia.
Negotiations over the trade agreement were extended over the greater part of several years, great British demanding the release of all prisoners, held by Russia as well as the renunciation of Soviet propaganda.
Complicated arrangement was to be made for the handling of goods, because of lack of individual capital in Russia.
Russian leaders believe the treaty will lead to political recognition.

Each Unit in R. O. T. C.
May Have New Emblems
A sample of the official emblem has been received by the R. O. T. C. While it is designed especially for the on-air television set, it make up for the other units, as well.
It is of bronze and consists of a shield, below which is a wreath bearing the name of the institution. Above the shield is the spread eagle. On the shield itself is the emblem of the unit. The R. O. T. C. may order these emblems for the different units at the University.
DRINKWATER BABBLES
Up and down the country goes John Drinkwater lecturing and wherever he elights reporters lie in wait for him. For the succeeding conversation, the inevitable material in his play, "Abraham Lincoln" and once and again talk about it is interesting, especially when the piece happens now to be visible on a Boston stage. Fortune at this moment of the journal when he engaged the play-writer with the question: "Around what American character would you like to write a play?" Mr. Drinkwater made answer:
Washington is Hamilton? Why not? There are, of course, hundreds of characters. But I have other plans for plays. I wanted to write a historical series, "Linein," *Mary, Queen of Scots*, Cromwell and "Lee." I have written the first three, but the second is not planned yet although I have it planed fairly well. It will follow the chronological form of "Linein."
"I should like, however, to write a play about John Brown. That would link the three, 'Lincoln,' 'Brown' and 'Lee.' That would make an Ame-rian triology. I want to write 'Robert E. Lee' of the case. After all, Lee had just the same problem that Lincoln did and had to solve in much the same way. No, I am not going about America collecting material on Lee. I don't believe in that sort of thing. You get so confused by the facts and concludes, so much stuff. I prefer to write the play at a distance.
"I placed many parts in 'Abraham Lincoln' when it was first produced. For a while that I acted Hook, then Lee and after that the negro. For a week I played Lincoln during the illness of William J. Hea. He gave a fine performance. He is a Belfast Irishman and Americans who came to see us at Hammersmith were horrified to think of his playing Lincoln. "After all," he used to say, "I've seen an American play Julian Caesar."

"How do the American and the English performances compare? The American probabil is more elaborate. The minor parts are played better for the most part, for over here you could have a great performance, it. It is the difference between a special production and a presentation by a repertory company.
"Criticism." My dear man, I should have been forced to change every line of the play if I had taken any notice of the criticism. I was told that the maid in the play was too British, that the Lincolnus wouldn't have had the courage to be a British girl to the White House—that Grant had stopped drinking whiskey, that my negro was like an American Indian. Of course we changed a little for this country. Out came "My word" and several other typically British expressions... Am I grateful for the way you treated me in America? Rather. I can say something more than that you know." Boston Transcript.
