Spring basketball practice will
start at the University of Iowa next
week and the basketball coaches at
the Hawkeye school will try out the
new basketball ruling of a one bounce
dribble'. Coach Justin M. Barry,
head basketball coach declared that
he was not at all surprised by the
action of the joint committee in lim
iting the dribble to the single bounce.
It is not entirely improbable that the
change will not be adopted in the
Big Ten in Barry's opinion.
Western conference officials have al
ready discussed the ruling and its
effects on the game. In Coach Bar
ry's opinion, the new ruling would
take the game out of the hands of
the officials and speed up the action.
The new ruling is causing con
siderable comment throughout the
country and coaches at the various
schools differ in their opinion as to
the effect of the one bounce dribble.
One thing is certain, and that is, the
five-man defense will lose a great
deal of its effectiveness by the one
bounce dribble. Long passes will
never come back into the winter court
game and with the ruling that a play
er would have to pass the ball after it
hit the court once, would mean there
would have to be a differently formed
In regard to the new basketball
rules which have just been written in
to the new 192S basketball cede,
Coach Charley Black, the Cornhuk
er cage coach is under the impression
that it will change the entire plan of
atifck and defense for the winter
sport. It will also mean a rather
prolonged spring practice in order
to get the players accustomed to the
one-bounce dribble. The Husker
coach thinks the new ruling will slow
the game down, slow up the plays,
tend to make more errors, and dis
appoint the crod.
The Cornhusker track squad pulled
into Lincoln at S o'clock this morning
after their long journey to the Pacific
coast, where they were defeated by
the California Bears. It is rumored
about the campus that Indian
Schulte will try to get a return exi
hibition race between Roland "Gip"
Locke and Phil Barber to take place
t the Missouri Valley outdoor meet
which will bi held at Nebraska the
?0 and 21 of May. Definite ar
rangements ia this regard will prob
ably be brought back with Coach
Schulte and Herb Gish.
Spring basketball practice for Ne
braska's 1928 cage team will get
under way in the Ccliseum April 18
and will probably last until April 23,
according to Coach Charley Black,
Cornhusker cage mentor. All mem
bers of this year's freshmen squad
and varsity candidates are expected
to report for the week of spring prac
tice. The short spring session will
be under the new rules.
Since the rainy weather hit Lin
coln, Coach Ernest Bearg has been
working his Husker tennis squad in
the basement of the Coliseum on the
indoor courts, in order that they may

(Continued from Page One.)
Faust it yas because he could net
fathom the secrets of the universe.
Mephistopheles appears to Faust and
offers him anything that he chooses
to have. Faust scorns glory and pow
er but eagerly desires youth. Mephis
topheles immediately flashes before
Faust a vision of Marguerite at the
spinning wheel."
Mephistopheles and Faust meet
Valentine, the brother of Marguerite,
at a kirmess, which originally meant
a high mass, held by people congre
gated from the whole district, but
the term is now known by the name
of "fair" with all its connotation.
Here Mephistopheles sings. "The Calf
of Gold," a glorification of the mer
cenary spirit of man. A good actor
invariably produces strong stage ef
fects in rendering this but unfortun
ately it is difficult to see just what
the dramatic meaning of the song
may be.
"Gounod's Faust has Faust meet
Marguerite in the kirmess scene in a
trivial environment which is very
different from Goethe's Faust who
has him meet her on her way to
church. This puts a very new con
struction upon it. Here it is not the
piety of Marguerite that moves Faust
hut it is her grace.
"In the love scene the wonderful
lines which reveal the deepest love
of Faust in the original have been
dropped completely. Several things
are stressed in this part beyond the
proprieties of the play because the
composer felt that the public would
enjoy them, with the result that Mar
guerite impresses us as rather shal
low. In the scene Marguerite sings
her famous jewel song, an outstand
ing composition musically, neverthe
less a thing that is very damaging to
Marguerite as a character.
"The fall of Marguerite as pre
sented in the third act of thefamous
opera is extremely damaging both to
Marguerite and to Faust The brother
of Marguerite, Valentine, plays a
very unimportant part in Goethe's
Faust, but Gounod expands this char
acter because it has a certain oper
atic value. Valentine is slain in a due!
between Faust and Valentine, and
Faust is forced to flee. A wonderful
soldiers' chorus is introduced here.
This never fails to move the audience
but dramatically it is an absurdity. It
takes the attention completely away
from the problem which the dram
atist should be solving.
"In the original story Faust saved
his soul because he has a deep-seated
remorse for his wrong-doing, because
he feels humanly responsible for his
acts, because no cleverness on the
part of Mephistopheles can make him
forget this responsibility. All this is
very lightly stressed in this opera.
He returns with Mephistopheles to
rescue Marguerite from prison and
here is a very powerful scene where
Mephistopheles, Faust, and Marguer
ite are heard in a trio which forms
the climax of the opera.
"In Goethe's Faust, Faust does not
win his sod at the end of the first
part but he has not lost it. Gounod's
presentation of the character would
demand that Faust should lose his
soul at the end of the play because
he has been- guilty and has done
nothing else to save his soul but
to do some very beautiful singing.
The final act presents Marguerite as
cending to Heaven, which is again
difficult to see why.
"Gounod has gathered up from the
Faust of Goethe the mere outline of
the story, has made occasion for im
pressive songs wherever he could
patch them in, has lost the religious
significance of the poem, and has
robbed the characters of their due
significance."
