And they were amply rewarded for their pains, for the program was one of the most delightful and well balanced of the whole series. The quartet composed of Messrs. Kenneth N. Westerman, Walter S. Westerman, U. Stanley Wilson, and Harry Carlson, did excellently. They did especially well in F. F. Bullard's "Winter Song," and "The Friars' Song," which was given as an encore. Miss Nora Crane Hunt pleased as usual. Her rendition of Harriet Ware's "Joy of the Morning," was well appre- ciated and she responded with a charning lullaby as an extra selection. Mr. Albert Lockwood, head of the piano department of the school of music, played brilliantly. His playing of the "Penitential Song," by Beeth- oven-Liszt, and Tschaikowsky's, "Scherzo a le Russe," was all that could be desired. He executed many spirited runs with a firm touch, and his technique was faultless. The summer choral union's singing of Gounod's, "Galliai," proved to be the big number on the program. With Miss Ada Grace Johnson carrying the difficult soprano role, and Mr. Earl Vincent Moore playing an excellent ac- companiment on the organ, the produc- tion was meritorious. The harmony was well sustained throughout, and considering the few rehearsals that had been held, Mr. Westerman can well be complimented -on the character of the performance. OFFUT LOSES TO ALEXANDER FOR PLACE IN SEMI-FINAL Winnar Will Play Mack for Place in Final Round of Tourney When Offut defaulted to Alexandr yesterday, Alexander was advanced to the semi-finals of the racquet match, and will play Mack to see which will play Baker for the final round. Alex- ander has proved to be the real "dark- horse" of the tournament, and has been coming well all summer. Mack seems to have the odds, however, and is expccted to win both games. Time may be extended forthe play- ing off the doubles until next week, al- though many will have examinations conflicting. A schedule is posted on the bulletin board in Huston's for both matches. Scores should be mark- ed up there immediately.
