The Daily Iowan The Student Newspaper of the State University of Iowa VOL. XVIII - New Series VOL. III IOWA CITY, IOWA, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 18, 1919 HAWKEYE SQUAD IS PREPARING FOR HARD FIGHT WITH MAROONS Chicago's Team Holds A Perfect Strong of Victories Against Conference Teams BANNICK PLANS SURPRISE Admits Strength in Midway Team But Refuses to Concede a Victor to Them With Ames disposed of, the Hawkeye basketball squad is being pointed for the Maroons who will come here tomorrow night for a return game, Chicago has one of the most powerful quintets in recent years which has maintained a perfect record of victories while playing some of the very strongest teams in the conference. Just Saturday, Pat Page's men defeated Northwestern after the Purple had won from the fast Boilermakers. The Maroon victories include games with Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Northwester, Iowa and two games with Purdue. The Old Gold five lost to the Chicago crew early in the season by a score of 31 to 19, but Bannick is preparing a surprise for the Windy City team and tomorrow night may see a big upset in the dope. Changes in Line Last night the varsity went through a snappy scrimmage against a pick up five and for the few minutes that Trainer Watson allowed the men to battle, the regulars showed a vast improvement over their performances of last week. Bannick made some slight changes in the lineup again, when he started Olson at center and Contton at Ollie's forward. Berrien held down the offense position while Brown and Nicholaus took case of the defense. Nicholaus has developed into a basket shooter of no mean ability as was evidence by his record in the Ames game, and he continues to hit the ring consistently. It seems likely at this time that Cotton will start the Chicago game as forward. He is too vulnerable as basket shooter to be kept out of the fray, and lately he has shown a great improvement in the floor work. Last night he was instrumental in breaking up the plays of the opposing forwards besides being able to get his share of the ringers. With Berrien to feed Olson and Cotton, Bannick will have a reputable scoring machine and one will cause the Maroons no little worry. Olson Handicappied Olson at center is putting up a splendid game despite the fact that the rangy veteran is handicapped with a pair of very sore feet. Trainer Jack Watson has the pedal extremities under his care however and promises to have Ollie fit for the hard battle ahead. Although the odds are against the Old Gold five, Coach Bannick refuses to concede tomorrow's visitors a thing. Iowa has taken the Maroons to two or three surprises here in the past when the odds were just as one-sided and the haughty top notchers are about due for a fall. Fans should see one of the best games of the season tomorrow night. HUMANISTS MEET MONDAY Humanist society will meet Monday at 8 o'clock at the home of Dr. and Mrs. C. F Ward. Dr. Ward will speak on "Certain Aspects of Canadian Civilization." REPRESENTATIVE MEN RECEIVE INVITATIONS Invitations to the Kuehnle-Finkbine banquet to be given representative men of the University on Feb-24 are being issued. Some of the invitations were received yesterday but full data for other organizations have not yet been obtained and the others will be mailed later. The banquet is to be held at the Jefferson hotel at 6 o'clock. These two prominent alumni, Carl F. Kuehnle and W.O. Finkbine, gave a dinner two years ago to representative students. Presidents of the different organizations on the campus are invited. AUDIENCE TAKES PART IN VESPER SERVICES Community Singing Makes Up Large Part of Program at Auditorium Sunday Every person in the natural science auditorium joined in the community singing at the Sunday Vespers service. The audience was more than enthusiastic in its response, and sang the familiar national and religious hymns with zeal. Many persons expressed the desire of having frequent community sings. The University orchestra under the direction of Dr. O. E. Van Doren "On an Autumn Day." The Rev. Herbert L. Searles, student pastor of the Presbyterian church, delivered the invocation. Both the Men's and the Women's Glee clubs composed the vesper choir, which sang an anthem, "Send Out Thy Light," by Gounod with orchestral accompaniment. Mrs. Anna Diller Starbuck of the school of music faculty, pointed out in her address on "Community Music" that music is the most adequate means of expressing profound feeling, and that community singing is important because it gives us an outlet for our community feelings, because we all enjoy singing together, and lastly, because our democracy is growing, and the labor classes will have more time for leisure which music can full most enjoyably. Community singing by the audience made up the largest part of the service. Prof. W. E. Hays directed the choruses which sang 'America," "Battle Hymn of the Republic," and other popular songs, including rollocking "My Bonnie." UNIVERSITY REPRESENTED AT DES MOINES BALL Student and faculty members of the art department who attended the annual fancy dress ball given at the Cumming's School of Art in Des Moines last week end, pronounce it a great success. Costumes for the occasion were designed to represent those worn at the peace conference. Men in Scottish plaid, ladies from a Turkish harem, and various dignitaries were present. The festivities lasted two nights. Friday evening only the art students attended, but Saturday evening they were permitted to bring guests. Those who attended from the University were: Edith Bell, Kathryn McCartney, Ellen Thornburg, Doris Davitt, Helen Grotewohl and Lilian Prentiss. Y.M.C.A. cabinet meeting Wenesday at 4 p.m. JESSUPS ENTERTAIN FROSH Mr. and Mrs. Walter A. Jessup will be at home informally to all first year students in the University Friday evening Feb. 21 at 7:30. No formal invitations will be issued. MENGES, ENGLAND'S FAMOUS VIOLINIST TO GIVE CONCERTS Isolde Menges Will Play for School Children Thursday Afternoon PUBLIC RECITAL AT NIGHT She Has Been Playing for Wounded Soldiers and Touring U.S. and Canada Isolde Menges, English musician, who is considered one of the greater interpretive violinists, will give two concerts under the auspices of the music council in the natural science auditorium Thursday. Miss Menges is deeply interested in children and hopes to instill in them a greater love for music, by giving a free recital of children's pieces at 4 o'clock in the afternoon to all school children accompanied by their teachers. The evening program is open to the public, and reserved seats many now be secured at Ries' book store. Pupil of Auer Both her parents and her grandfather are violinists, and Miss Menges herself was one of the most brilliant pupils of Prof. Leopold Auer, the greatest living Russian violinist. Hascha Heifetz, who was her fellow student in Russia, is considered technically the superior of all violinists, but in interpretation, European critics claim that Miss Menges is the greater of the age. When she was twenty, Professor Auer published this statement: "I hereby have much pleasure in certifying that Miss Isolde Menges has without a doubt one of the most remarkable talents for the violin that has even come under my notice." She appeared in London a year before the war began, and was engaged for concerts in Germany, Russia, France and Holland during the next season, but her schedule was cancelled on account of the outbreak. Instead, she spend much of her time playing for wounded soldiers in the London hospitals, and for the past two years has been touring the United States and Canada. A Violin Artiste The artist possesses a valuable Stradivarius of beautiful appearance and excellent tone. "Miss Menges handles her instruments like a veteran," is the comment of the Montreal Herald. "Her tone-producing powers are remarkable indeed; it was this quality that called forth the unstinted praise of critics in every center in which the artist appeared." Miss Menges gave two concerts in Des Moines Sunday at which she played "Rondo Capriccioso," by Saint Saens; the familiar and beloved "Nocturne in E flat," by Chopin; "Tambourin Chinois," by Fritz Kreisler; and "Ave Maria," by Schubert-Wilhelmj. Miss Eileen Beattie, Australian pianist, is her accompanist. Lieut. Charleton Knupp of Vinton has been at the Kappa Sigma house for several weeks. SORORITIES TO DISCUSS NEW GRADE SYSTEM Women's Pan-Hellenic council will hold a meeting this afternoon to vote on the plan for a grade system similar to that now in use by fraternities. The plan, which was presented by Mrs. Aurner at the last meeting, was discussed by individual groups at their fraternity meetings last night. If the system is adopted, there will be strong cooperation between sororities and the University. Sororities will then be permitted to initiate at any time, as fraternities now do, provided that their average is as high as that of non-sorority women. Any sorority which remains lower than the average of non-sorority women during three successive years will be reported to its grand council as not good in standing. GOOD CHANCE FOR NEW MEN IN TRACK Asks Men to Get Equipment at Athletic Office by Thursday for Tryouts Men who wish to try out for the 1919 track team may now get their equipment at the athletic office in the armory. Jack Watson will probably issue his call for practice within the next two days, when the indoor track in the basement of the gymnasium will be in condition. Those men expecting to come out are urged to call for their equipment sometime before Thursday. Too much emphasis cannot be put on getting into the traces early this year, according to Jack Watson, the coach and trainer. Since an indoor meet with Ames, Drake, and Grinnell will be held at Ames a week from next Saturday, it will be necessary for the men to get in the best possible condition before that time. This is a good opportunity for new men to win their spurs in track this year. Although many good old men are back to the cinders, a large squad of new material is essential for the personnel of the future teams of Iowa and to furnish competition for the older men. New men who are not freshman are eligible for a place on the regular varsity team, and the freshman will make their debut it in a home meet to be held soon. The call for spring practice will appear in an early issue of the Iowan. Jack Watson asks all track men to watch the next two issues. RELIGIOUS JOURNAL TELLS OF LUTHERANISM The current issue of "Religious Edfucation," journal of the Religious Education association, tells of 'Psychological Studies in Lutheranism," by Paul H. Heisey, a student of the graduate college, as follows: "The broad denominational groups have psychological bases. Mr. Heisey has set an example which we hope others will follow in this analysis of the special psychology of his own denomination. He makes careful study of the mysticism of Luther and shows how the basic ideas of Protestantism have developed in the Lutheran church. Other chapters deal with the revival and psychology of conversion." Mary Anderson will leave Wednesday for Evanston to attend the Y. W. conference. Mrs. Aurner will leave Thursday evening to be in attendance. FRENCH BARONESS WILL RELATE HUN INVASIONS TONIGHT Frances Wilson Hurad, Forced by Germans, Fled with Refugees From Beautiful Chateau DAUGHTER OF NOTED ACTOR Madame Huard Will Tell Adventures Portrayed in Her Two Books In Devastated France Baroness Frances Wilson Huard of France will relate her personal experiences in the Hun-invaded lands of France during the first days of the war in her lecture tonight at 7:30, in the natural science auditorium. Madame Huard is the author of two highly interesting books "My Home in the Field of Honor," is a graphic account of the sudden advance into eastern France where at that time Madame Huard was living alone, except for her servants. While her husband was in the battle against the Germans, she was forced to flee from her beautiful chateau along with thousands of other French and Belgian refugeees. The other book, "My Home in the Field of Mercy," tells of her return to her home, after the Hun wave had been swept back , where she found her former elegant chateau looted and despoiled of every work of art; and the transformation of the castle into a military hospital for the sick and founded French soldiers. Tells Experiences The charm of these two narratives lies in the simplicity of their diction, and the frank, straightforward presentation of a heroic and gripping experience. Madame Huard's address will be a simple account of the adventures in these two books, which form a representative experience of numerous inhabitants of eastern France, made homeless by the war. Baroness Huard was the daughter of Francis Wilson, a noted actor. She left America for France with her parents when she was about eighteen years of age. While in France she married Baron Charles Huard, a painter and, at the time the war broke out, she and her husband dwelt in the Chateau Villiers, about sixty miles from Paris. This was the home from which she was driven by the invasion of the Germans and which serves as a setting for her two books. Her husband has illustrated the books with numerous pencil sketches. Is Entertaining Madame Huard has delivered lectures in many of our leading cities, and everywhere she has gained great popularity, as a very entertaining speaker, who grips and fascinates her audience by her thrilling but touching story. The lecture tonight is one of the scheduled entertainments of the free University lecture course. Prof. O. A. Thomas left last evening for Iowa Falls to attend the funeral of his sister who died Sunday. She was a student in the nurses' training school in 1911. The Newman club has postponed its box social indefinitely. Further announcements will be made in the Iowan. Kappa Kappa Gamma announces the pledging of Louise Curtin of DeCorah.
