EXPERT TO BEGIN'
STUDY OF CAMPUS
DRAMASITUATION
Geo. Quinby, Savannah Theatre
Director, to Investigate
Dramatic Societies.
IS BOWDOIN GRADUATE
Move Is Step in Development
to Culminate in Campus
Theatre.
As the first step in the develop-
ment of a University dramatic or-
ganization which will culminate
with the perfection of a University
theatre, George H. Quinby, director
of the Town theatre of Savannah,
ea., has been engaged to visit the
University for a three-week period
comencing May 24. for the pur-
pose of studying the dramatic sit-
uation here and of making recom-
mendtions for ways in which the
various dramatic organizations can
better co-operate for the more ef-
ficient functioning of the Univer-
sity dramatics interests.
Quinby Will Form Plan.
Mr. Quinby will, study the work
of Play Production, Mimes, Comedy
Club, and the Hillel players, with
a view to devising a definite plan
whereby they will be able to best
co-operate through the use of the
Lydia Mendelssohn theatre, which
became a University-owned campus
theatre April 1.
No reorganization of the drama-
tic department is anticipated as a
result of Mr. Quinby's visit, it is ex-
plained by Prof. 0. J. Campbell, of
the English department. He will be
here only to survey the present
si'ttation with the unbiased eye
that only an outsider can bring to
bear on the problems which are
lmmidiately faced in the program
toward ultimate development of a
University theatre organization in
which student written plays, as
well as professionally written
drania, will be given careful and
expert Production,l it was an-
nounced.
Campbell Praises Windt.
"The University's dramatic or-
ganization is now ready for such a
survey as that Mr. Quinby will
make only because of the work ac-
complished by Valentine Windt,
director of Play Production, and
other men conpected with the dra-
matic interests," Professor Camp-
bell said yesterday. He said that
the co-operation between student
dramatic clubs and the depart-
ment had dlone much to further
developmentdof University drama-
tics.
Mr. Quinby is a graduate of Bow-
doin college, and later attended
Professor George Baker's drama
workshop at -Yale. He was asked
some weeks ago to come here for
the month of May, but was unable
to accept because of engagements
in Savannah and with the Hamp-
ton Players on Long Island in the
slimmer. Later correspondence re-
sulted in the present agreement,
whereby Mr. Quinby will be here
from May 24 until about June 14.
He was strongly recommended for
the task by Professor Baker, of
Yale, since he has done both writ-
ing and producing, and is a young
man who will be able to approach
closely the point of view of the
students concerned.1

Failing to reach a decision in nine innings of play, Michigan and
Ohio State played a 3-3 tie at South Ferry Field yesterday afternoon in
the opening game of the Conference season. Despite the icy breezes and
continual snow flurries, a crowd of more than i,ooo hardy fans watched
Ohio keep the lead for eight innings, when Michigan attained a 3-
advantage only to have the Buckeyes tie it up in the ninth. The umpires
called the contest on account of darkness after NMichigan completed 'its
turn at bat in the ninth.
Dick Montague and Wrigley of the invaders engaged in a pitching
duel for seven innings, when the Ohio sophomore lost control and
was relieved by Kermode. Michigan was behind, 2-I, going ito the
eighth, but Joe Truskowski poled out a home run with Daniels on
base to give Coach Fisher's crew the lead. With two down and two

Cticago Professor Will Present
First of Four Readings
c:i Spring Program.
WILL APPEAR TUESDAY
Prof. Davis Edwards, of the Uni-
versity of Chicago, will appear at
the Lydia Mendelssohn theatre
next Tuesday night to inaugurate
a series of dramatic readings
sponsored by the speech depart-
ment, and under the direction of
Henry Moser who announces that
four readings will constitute the
spring program.
Professor Edwards will present
"The King's Henchman," by Edna
S. Vincent Millay, which is consid-
ered to be the best of his reper-
toire of six recitals. Professor Ed-
wards is the head of the depart-
ment of public speaking of the Di-
vinity School of the University of
Chicago and of the Chicago Theo-
logical seminary, and is a director
of the School of Speech at Chatau-

al1owing Weisharmer td score the
tying run.
Faulty fielding beat the Wolver-
ines, all three of Ohio's runs being
scored without the aid of a hit. In
marked contrast, the Buckeyes
flayed errorless ball, Michigan's
three runs being scored through the
medium of three solid safeties and
a walk. The Maize and Blue play-
ers committed six misplays, four
of which were chalked up against
Straub at second base.
Montague Pitches Well.
Montague did a fine job of hurl-
ing considering the support he re-
ceived, limiting the Buckeyes to
three hits over the eight and one-
third innings which he occupied
the box. Jack Tompkins connected
for three of Michigan's six hits,
getting a triple and two singles.
Norm Daniels played a good game
at shortstop wher he substituted
-for the injured Myron.;He accepted
nine chances without an error.
Cline played a flashy game at
third base for the visitors and also
contributed some good stickwork,
getting two of his team's three hits,
including a triple. Stull at short-
stop also showed well afield for
Ohio. Wrigley did a good job of
pitching until he was removed in
the seventh, restricting Michigan
to four safeties.
Ohio Scores First.
Ohio State tallied twice in the
first inning. Baumgartner was
safe on Superko's fumble and then
stole second. Stull's sacrifice bunt
sent Baumgartner to third.Fesler
