Eligibility Rules
PROF. BRUMM SPEAKS
Definite action was begun in the
production of the 24th annual Junior
Girls' play when tryouts were an-
nounced at the mass meeting of jun-
or women held yesterday in New-
berry auditorium. First tryouts will
begin from 4 to 6 o'clock, Tuesday
Dec, 6, and will be continued from
4 to 6 o'clock on Thursday and Fri-
day, Dec. 8 and 9, and from 9 to 12
o'clock Saturday morning, Dec. 10.
All tryouts will take place in Sarah
Caswell Angell hall of Barbour gym-
nasium unless notices of changes ar
made through The Daily.
In commenting on the coming try-
outs, Elizabeth Wellman, '29, general
chairman of the play, said: "Eligibili-
ty is an important factor; and there
are three types of eligibility which
must be conformed to, that is, aca-
demic, physical, and financial."
With regard to their academic
standing, it was announced that sec-
ond semester sophomores and jun--
ior women who are not elibigle now
but are sure of eligibility at the endI
of this term will be allowed to parti-
cipate. Eligibility requires a "C" av
erage of grades.
Physical fitness is being stressed
particularly this year. The committee
is anxious that there shall be no ner-
vous breakdowns at the close of the
show this year. For this reason,
heart and lung examinations will be'
requested for all the more strenuous
choruses. In other cases it is up to
each woman to gauge her ability to
carry on both her class work and'
her practice without too much stra
Financial eligibility necessitates
the nayment of $1.00 by each wonan
who desires to partake in the play.
This is payable to Marie Hartwig,'
business manager, at the Helen New-
berry residence. Receipt for payment
of this fee must be produded at the.
tryouts. Juniors who paid their fee
in the preliminary drive may obtain
their receipts from Miss Hartwig.
A contest for all junior women in_-
terested in scenery designing was an-'
nounced by Miss Wellman, with a
meeting for these women scheduled
for 3:30 o'clock, Tuesday, Dec. 6, in
Barbour 'gymnasium. The regular
poster contest will open after the
Christmas holidays.
Prof. John L. Brumm, head of the
department of journalism, who will
direct the production this year, pre-
sented a bit of advice with regard to
tryouts. "This is a very happy occa-
sion for me," he began. "I have been
identified with the Junior Girls' play
for about 10 years, but for the past
three yars have taken no active in-
terest. I am pleased with your invita-
tion to return."
Professor Brumm continued to
stress the importance of academic
eligibility. He also stated that each
candidate will be expected to be pro-
pared with a song, a bit of recitation,
and a few (lance steps, in order to
judge her voice, both singing and
speaking, and her, dancing ability. It
is not necessary that intricate steps
he displayed, merely the general
dancing form. "If you have a good
solo voice, male that clear to the
committee," Professor Brumm direct-
ed.
Since the committee is determined
to use as many women as possible
in the play, the personnel of practi-
cally every chorus will be different
It is estimated that 150 women will
take part. Tryouts are welcome to
bring their own piano accompanists
if they desire to do so. All women are
asked to watch The Daily for notices
of changes in time or place of tryouts
and meetings.

best, is beyond a doubt, Dr. Bell
maintained. All are constantly in de-
mand and have offers at many of the
larger scgols of the country, their
skill as athletes being nationally
known. It is not to be expected that
a staff interested in the perfection of
sports would not naturally turn their
attention to the few advanced players
of a varsity team and neglect the
less efficient majority.
Pointing out that endless facilities
and an endless staff were requisites
for the success of intercollegiate
sports, Dr. Bell said that although
the new conveniences afforded by the
improvements at Palmer field would
greatly encourage athletic achieve-
ments, intramural games needed to
be organized and extended much
more before there wan any possibility
of developing varsity teams.

ing them the opportunities of intens-I
ive training called for in intercolleg-,
iate athletics, although the average
participants played good hockey and
each season showed increased eM-
ciency.
Presenting her third objection, Dr.
Bell said, "It is a serious mistake
for women to emulate men. Women,
as a result perhaps of tradition
alone, are not prepared yet to stand
publicity and exploitation well. Thel
exposure is too much and many good
qualities becoming to womanhood are
apt to be sacrificed."
A fourth principle involved is that
the question of strenuous competition
for women at all times is an open
question. "Women traditionally hay
lead, and the majority of women still
do lead, individual lives," stated Dr.
Bell. "Women are famously weak in
cooperation and all the qualities best
developed under good leadership in
team play. All the best qualities of wo-
manhood could be improved by the ex-
perience of play in games of high or-
ganization."
"The ground work for the develop-
ment of skill in individual sport car
easily be built upon the background
laid in team games," she concluded.
