Nelson Sidney Wilson SUNDAY, JANUARY 10, 1926 Night Editor-THOMAS V. KOYKKA CAPPON AND STEELE Two more Michigan men, former players on Wolverine teams and members of Yost's all-Michigan coach- ing staff, will leave Ann Arbor to teach the Michigan method of playing football on foreign gridirons. Frank- lin C. Cappon, who played fullback on the Michigan Conference champion- ship eleven of 1922, has been appoint- ed head football coach at the Univer- sity of Kansas, where he will be as- sisted by Harold 0. Steele, another Michigan athlete and a former team- mate of Cappon. This increasing demand for Michi- gan coaches is almost as great a tes- timonial to the efficiency of the Yost system of teaching football as the long list of Conference titles that Yost-coached teams have won in the past 25 years. Assistant coaches at Michigan leave regularly to assume control at other insttutions-Vander bilt, Oklahoma Agricultural college,' Wisconsin, and Kansas are only a few universities whose teams are directed by Michigan men; many others, in- clhding Northwestern,- have former Michigan athletes ontheir staffs. To her sons who are devoting their time to the advancement of athletics at other institutions, Michigan wishes the best of luck-may they always be successful except when they bring their new proteges against the teams of their Alma Mater-may the Yost system 'of football triumph every- where except against Yost. RELIGION AND ATHLETICS In New York City a committee headed by Julian S. Myrick is naisine funds to erect a sport bay in the# Cathedral of St. John the Divine. The sugestion has been made and ac- cepted to create a memorial to the outstanding leaders in athletics, such as Walter Camp, dean of football, and Christy Mathewson, the nation's base- ball idol. Sport will be symbolized and the memorial will be in harmony with the beauty and glory of the edi- fice. The sport bay will give to ath- letics an honorable niche in the great cathedral; more than $30,000 has been subscribed for it in the short time that the committee has been in existence. Much of the credit for the general !oondwill manifested toward the erec-! development of the same qualitise that/ religion seeks to inculcate.

Stops at State St.) a A JOE PARKER'S CAFE ORCHESTRA IS AVAILABLE FOR DANCE ENGAGEMENTS ADVERTISING Mellie Dunham, holder of the fiddl- ing championship of the state of Maine, went, some time since, to play for Henry Ford at Detroit,-and from the comparative seclusion of Norway, Maine, he has fiddled his way to a na- tional prominence . His pictures are printed next to those of national fig- ures. News about him is worth front page space in almost all the metro- politan dailies. Thousands who had never heard of him until a few weeks ago now follow his movements with an interest far exceeding that given to other newsw' As a result of this publicity, Mellie is now in a position where he can realize on the merits of his fiddling. It is reported, and no doubt with considerable truth, that he is being amply paid for his playing, and that he will probably continue to fiddle before packed houses for some time. He can now earn in ,a few month' more than he earned in the same number of years in his home town. He fiddled his way into what is, to him, a small, fortune. The important thing about the whole matter is that Mellie's abilities were advertised and advertised well. A demand for his talent (and who will say that it does not take talent to be a championship fiddler?) was created, and Dunham is profiting by it. Giod 'advertising pays, and pays, and pay. It has put many a man on easy stroet, when otherwise he would have re- mained unknown and unheralded. EDITORIAL COMMENT THE LETTERS OF A PRESIDENT (The New York World) The statement that the late Mrs. Harding burned practically all he husband's letters and papers is hap- pily modified by an announcement of the, Harding Memorial Association. Yet the facts are bad enough. The papers, we are told, "were sorted by Mrs. Harding. Those that were imma- terial were destroyed, but all of inter- est to posterity were saved." Nobody ever doubted Mrs. Harding's devotion to her husband's fame. But it re- quires so highly trained land impartial a judge to decide what is permanently I valuable that the one safe rule is to destroy nothing. Any intimate asso- ciate is peculiarly disqualified. There was some reason in William Roscoe Thayer's remark that reading of a widows' biographies of their famous husbands almost made him an advo- cate of suttee. Would Mrs. Wiashing- ton have preserved her husband's let- ter to Lund Washington abusing the dirty; cowardly New Englanders of 1776? Would Mrs. Lincoln have pre- served Lincoln's letter describing his ill-starred courtship of Mary Owens? Yet in such documents lie hidden the secrets of personality. The Library of Congress is per- forming an important public service in collecting the correspondence of as many Presidents as possible. One by one the gaps are being'filled; some of Chester A. Arthur's letters are a re- cent acquisition. Important publish- ing enterprises can be based on these collections. One now well under way an audience are expressed. Of course we do not lay claim to be a critic, but supposing that we had written a* straight review, or that the column next door had done so before knowing what the audience thought-the result wounid have been interesting. . We are led 4owonder how the opinion of a critic and that of an audience com- pare on any legitimate play. Not that they should or should not agree-for any critic must express his own opinion, regardless of the audi- ence, -but it would be interesting- The only example we can call to mind that shows anything is the w. k. "Abie's Irish Rose" which after ire- ceiving a unanimous razz by the New York critics four years ago is still running in that city today. SEEING CERTAIN CITIES CHAPTER IV WASHINGTON This city, as most of our readers 4iow, is the capital of the United States of America. Because of this the President of that Republic lives in this city. His residence is known as the White House, because of its color, and because of tradition. Meeting Cal Almost everyone who comes to ' Washingtcn must sooner or later get. 'in touch with the Congressmen from his district and thus meet the presi- dent. Meeting the president is a for- mality which consists of lining up in Suh the same manner that one would before eating in the tap room of the Union or rushing the gallery at the Whitney. This line moves slowly forward toward where the President is standing behind a door in an inner room. As each individual enters he is given the extremely thrilling pleas- ure of receiving a half hearted hand- shake from a middlc-aged gentleman in a grey suit who looks as if he either had indigestion or were longing to be back on the old Vermont farm, and as if he was bored beyond words, which he probably is. This is the presi dent. Lest one dies from the thrill, the officials hurry one out of the imperial presence as quickly 'as possible, and within five seconds after entering the building, one finds one's self out on the street again, a bigger and better man. Streets rlhe city is beautifully laid out so that one can find ones way about as easily in a taxi as in any other city. The streets are all given the cleverest, most intriguing names you ever heard f. They go this way: A street, B Btrret, C street, and so on, and the Avenues go 1st Ave., 2nd Ave., 3rd Ave., etc, and then they have some others which have the names of every state in the Union. This is done, of course so that the Cougressmen won't feel lonesome. Should Rep. Mapes of Idaho, become homesick, for instance, he can just walk over to Idaho street and feel just like he was at home again. Moinuments The far-famed Washington monu- ment is a steal from Cleouatra's needle, only it is bigger and has an elevator and no hyrogliphics. The best thing in the town is the Lincoln Me- morial which is in all truth a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

Recently there opened at the Klaw theatre, New York, for series of spe- cial matinees a production of "The Taming of the Shrew" under the di- rection of Richard Boleslawsky, for- merly of the Moscow Art Theatre, and with Rollo Peters as Petruchio, Estel- le Winwood as Katherine, Ann Hard- ing as Bianca, and a very literally "distinguished" cast filling the re- maining roles. The performances were what the trade calls 'a "labor of love," for there' was only the very esthetic reward of an artistic triumph in view. Fortu- nately, however, as luck sometimes turns in the theatre, the piece was immediately acclaimed by the critics and packed houses, and is now being transferred to the very ;list distinc- tion of a legitimate run. The entire manner and method alone of the interpretation was enough to lift it from obscurity. There wasj color and a brash lewdness in the whole atmosphere that restored the farce to the setting Shakespeare in- tended. Everything was exaggerated and played with the bustling abandon of the medieval farces; there was no shifting of scenes save a series of frankly formal arches on which were pinned the necessary signs-"a public square," "Petruchio's house," and the like. In the acting, too, as in the odd, grotesque costumes, there was the same hurry and enthusiasm. Estelle Winwood with her large, almost ghou- lish eyes, her strange fits of passion, recalled an Ada Rehan to the elder generation. It was, save for "Spring: Entire Stock APPLIED ARTS 2 Nickels Arcade The Shop for Unique Gifts PLEASE DON'T MAKE PATHS ON THE CAMPUS RANGER'S ACADEMY seems to consistently hold its place of popularity among the students of the University.
