WANTS GOOD OLD GAME
SO SAID DR. NAISMITH AT EMPORIA YESTERDAY.
Dr. Curtis Says Athletics Are a Disgrace to American Schools Physical Directors Society
Dr. James Naismith has taken a stand in favor of the American game of football and "the good old days of '95."
At a conference of physical directors of the different colleges of the state, held at Emporia Friday, Doctor Naismith, who presided at the conference, was the champion of the American game of football and lead the opposition to its abolition. Dr. H. S Curtis of Clark University, Worcester, Mass., president of the American Playground Association, was asked to speak on the subject of "football reform," in the absence of E. C. Quigley of St. Marys, who was on the program for a talk on that subject.
Athletics Are a Disgrace?
Athletics Are a Disgrace?
Doctor Curtis contended that all American athletics are a disgrace to the schools. The doctor said that he has never seen a sportsmanlike match of baseball or football. Rugby, he thinks, is too dangerous, and he advised the adoption of soccer in its place.
Physical Directors' Society.
The physical directors of all the Kansas Colleges were at Emporia, where the new $100,000 gymnasium—for the State Normal was dedicated. They decided to perfect a permanent organization and have regular meetings during the year. A committee made up of Miss Ada Heaton women's director at Baker; Dr Naismith, and P.S. Samson of the State Normal was chosen to draw up a constitution for the new society.

TALK WAS ENTERTAINING
Prof. Hudson Told of Passion Play and its Actors.
Before a large audience of students and professors of the University, Professor Jay William Hudson, of the University of Missouri, delivered an illustrated lecture on the Passion Play in chapel yesterday afternoon. Several Lawrence people are planning to see the production of the play, which is to be given in Ober Ammergan, Germany, next summer.
The Passion Play is given every ten years by the peasants of this famous little German village and it was in 1900 that Professor Hudson saw the production. He made a very close observation of it from a dramatic standpoint. In addition to this he has spent much time in a study of the conditions of the peasants, and of their country.
Professor Hudson told the story of the play in an extremely entertaining manner. To add interest to his talk he used many stereop tion views showing the best fea tures of the play.
Chi Omega Formal Party.
The members of the Chi Omega sorority gave their sixth spring party in Fraternal Aid hall last night. A novel feature of the party was that it began at 6 o'clock. The grand march, which started at 7 o'clock, was led by Professor and Mrs. Haworth.

The favor dance was led by Miss Purdy, Miss Cramer and their escorts. The two Misses Degan gave out the favors which were red and white roses. The dancing ended at 1 o'clock. About 100 couples were present.

"THE REDCOAT"
A Colonial Play by
Muriel Culp
The Phi Psis will give an informal party at Fraternal Aid Hall this evening.
The second performance of the "Redcoat," Miss Muriel Culp's play of Revolutionary times was given at the Bowersock opera house Thursday evening. At this last presentation the audience was rather more appreciative than at the first performance. As is generally the case with amateur productions the play went much more smoothly the second night than it did the first.
The play itself is a story of Washington's visit to his home at Mount Vernon just before the fateful lines of the allies were closing in about the beleaguered Yorktown. From the stressful scenes of war Washington came to enjoy the quietude of a few hours at home. Just before the arrival of Washington and his staff a redcoat lover of Richard Henry Lee's ward who is visiting at the Washington home comes to pay a visit to his sweetheart. He lingers too long for a last farewell and is entrapped by the colonial officers. The scenes attendant upon the redcoat capture and his subsequent escape with plans of the colonial campaign, through the aid of his faithful sweetheart, are the strongest in the play. The finale of the second act would do credit to a more pretentious play.
Miss Culp submitted the play to Professor F. G. Bates of the University for his opinion as to the historical correctness of the situations. Professor Bates said that in his opinion the play was a true reflection of Revolutionary conditions.
Miss Georgia Brown, who directed the play, said that she considered the play a clever production and that the dramatic unity of the play is well developed.
This is Miss Culp's second Colonial play. Her first play was written several years ago for the Salina high school. Her first play which attracted the attention of the University people was written last fall and presented by the Thespians. It was called "Father and the Frat."
