SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1931 That ChartyGame W HEN it was' announced last Sunday that - Michigan would not meet Northwestern but Wisconsin in the charity game next Saturday, it was natural that the students at Michigan should show a marked apathy towards the arrangement. Michigan students all season had waited to play Northwestern and the disapproval of the game as announced proved a really stunning blow to their hopes of a possible trip to Chicago to see a Wolverine team meet the highly touted Wildcats. Officials of the Big Ten expected that the game would not meet with the approval of Michigan supporters lput they did not think that resentment against it would last throughout the week. It has, and the boos which greeted the announcement yesterday afternoon at the game that tickets are on sale gave proof that Michigan is still sore over the whole affair. Students in Ann Arbor wanted the North- western game. Everyone is disappointed but nothing can be done about it. The die has been :ast and it is up to us to make the best of it. If a game with Northwestern were possiblelat this ate date, we .would be the first to advocate it but after a week's investigation it has been proven :hat it is utterly impossible to change the opponent. Student opinion on the campus is not surpris- ng for it has become a custom for Michigan to 'gripe" about something it does not like. The feeling that "we won't go to the game" has also been rampant. Such a state of affairs should not exist in spite of the circumstances. Michigan must accept the verdict and attempt to make the game successful. Wisconsin, although it has not had a highly uccessful season will make a worthy opponent. Jntil a few years ago when the Badgers were iropped from Michigan schedule Wisconsin al- vays proved a tough and hard team. Spirit at the tames, both here and in Madison, was always at ever heat and the game was looked on by the >ress and students alike as one of the biggest of he year. It is improbable that this spirit can be recap- ured but nevertheless-a state of excitement will >ersist. Wisconsin will send large groups of stu- lents down; alumni of both schools who were A Review by Professor Ralph L. Belknap The present generation has been enriched through the inheritance of a long series of stirring adven- tures; the biographies, the lives, the stories of that intrepid group of men who have devoted so much of their time and in many cases their lives to Polar Exploration. In the exploration of Antarctica alone the accounts of the epic-making adventures of Scott, Shakelton, Amundsen, and Mawson have come to occupy a well earned position of prominence in our modern literary, a position well deserved in many cases through the-sheer force of the thrilling adventure related, in a few cases a position of even greater importance through a combination of the significant events described and the literary quality exhibited by the narrator. All too frequently in recent years additions have wormed their way into this field not because of the importance or signifi- cane of the events described but because of the literary facility of the author and the efficiency of his publicity man. Now comes this latest story with its aptly chosen title. This is not just another story of the Byrd Expedition, nQt just a series of the more thrilling events, excerpts from a diary,,strung like beads on a string of passing time but the story of one great continuous adventure made up of a series of thrills, of hardships, of descriptions of never ending changes, all crowded into the few short months which the author spent in trekking over fifteen hun- dred miles through a fantastic "land" of ice and snow-"Cold"-a "land" so different from our own that we can more readily believe it to be a part of another planet rather than a part of the earth. Dr. Gould's book, arriving as a welcomed reassurance that the old school still lives, will take its well- merited position with the other classics of Polar Exploration. Dr. Gould, a'member of the geology staff of the University of Michigan and Second in Command of the Byrd Antarctic Expedition, tells first the tory of his trip by plane to the Rockefeller moutains about 135 miles from Little America. It was there they encountered a storm that blew their plane away, a wind that blew so hard it "held me stream- lined horizontally in ,the air some seconds." After describing this modern exploration-by-plane episode the narrative is concerned chiefly with the 1525- mile sledge trip to the Queen Maud mountains, one of the longest sledge trips ever undertaken for purely scientific purposes, and a trip they were forced to take by sledge rather than by plane because of the loss of the Fokker on the earlier trip. Rather than lamenting the fact that the trip must be taken by sledge the author says: "I had never in my life wanted to do anything quite so much as I wanted to make this sledge trip. I think man has found no means of pioneering by land, sea, or air, that reaches the high conception of polar sledging with dogs--it calls for the utmost resourcefulness and it taxes the endurance of the hardiest." It no doubt is a surprise to many to learn that it was not the monotony and silence of the long winter night that was trying or depressing. The author has this to say in regard to the stillness: "I have stood in the woods at .home when the world seemed dead. There was no kind of sound. But in that world where a variety of sound is the rule rather than the excep- tion such a silence is oppressive if not ominous. Not so here - this is the land of silence.- It is an ex- panding sort of silence. It is inviting. It is the natural state here and I like it." No it was the con- tinuous daylight and the resulting inability to sleep1 that he found most trying. But when it was cloudy there were other difficulties: "A blanket of gray clouds made the visibility very poor -the horizon disappeared completely and we found ourselves marching into a milky white wall. An opaque white gloom had settled over the world. -I skied along watching the compass as usual and would occasion- ally level my eyes to see how Mike was keeping on the course but couldn't see him. Then I would sud- denly discover that he was thirty or forty degrees up in the air for one lost a sense of position.- A tiny match box dropped on the snow a few feet away looked like a barn a mile distant." Dr. Gould's bouyant style will catch thereader, carry him forward from page to page or thrill to thrill over an undercurrent of not too subtle humor. Any chilling effect the title may have had is removed as the reader comes to feel the warm human frank-; ness and honesty of the author, 'a man who does such things as he is describing here for the lure or love of knowledge; a man who had "rather find one fossil marsupial than three )gold mines." And with all the thrills the reader is suddenly confronted with the fact that all unconsciously he has acquired a great store of information and knowledge as a result of his reading. But most of all as we lay the book aside we do so with the feeling best expressed by Walt Whitman, "who touches this book touches a man." C Barrymore is seen in another of his striking character roles at the Majestic-this time as a crippled ballet master who finds an, outlet 'for his overpowering desire to dance in the person of a young lad rescued from a marionette show. "The Mad Genius" is every foot an unusual production. The acting is practically irreproachable, the direction excellent, and the cast well-selected. The picture's one fault lies in the slightly illogical trend of the story in several spots, although even this weakness is ad- mittedly over- shadowed by the remarkable char- acterizations of Sir John and his supporting cast. D u r i n g t h e k course of the plot, the protege's fu- ture is apparent-<"r ly threatened by h is reciprocated V-: love for a young dancer (Marian= Marsh of "Five MARILYN MARSW Star Final" and "Svengali" fame). Whereupon Tsarakov, alias Barry- more, schemes to get rid of the fair damsel. The complications of this love affair are the less inter- esting and weaker side of the story, which redeems itself consid- erably in a striking and ghastly climax. The star's performance seemed as perfect as ever, although some- what similar to his "Svengali" hyp- notic role. More outstanding than Marian Marsh and Donald Cook, the two leads, were Luis Alberni in an excellent characterization of Tsarakov's drug-crazed ballet di- rector, and Charles Butterworth in an amusing comedy role as the master's secretary. "The Mad Genius" fails to reach i t s potentialities as a great pic- ture for Barry- more, but is con- siderably a b o ve average in talk- ing film enter- tainment, rating a high B.

Reports have come in that Wisconsin may send their band. Michigan's colorful organization will be there in full force. The element of charity in the contest should prove an influence. Although Michigan students will have to pay to see the game, seats have been priced at reasonable rates so that it will not be a hardship on anyone to go and Michigan, unsenti- mental as it may be, certainly could do nothing more worthwhile than heartily to support the dame. 5 A Called For andDelivered For Cash Called For andsDelivered For Cash On by 25c Called For and Delivered For Cash te , "" . To the Editor: I note that there is much disappoiltment among the students because Michigan is not going to play Northwestern, and in that I share. I had promised myself to run away from court work for a day, pick up a load of boys, shed all the judicial dignity possi- ble, drive all night, see Michigan beat Northwestern (maybe), and come back the same way. I am sorry I am not going to get my picnic, but that, like many other things in life, is in the discard, and must be forgotten. CLEANERS & DYERS 516 East Liberty Phone 23231 F
