In the Barb league the Pickett club defeated the P. H. D. club. Upholding the affirmative side of the question "Resolved the United States should have the largest navy In the world," the Delta Theta Phi team said such a force was necessary to protect the Panama Canal zone and our foreign comnwrce. The Zeta Beta tau team held our present navy adequate to defend both coasts and that an Increase would lead to a naval race. Harry West judged the argument.

C. A. The subject of his speech was "The Supreme Court and the Constitu tion." D. X.'s Protegy For Kentucky By Bob Stiefler. Pardon my southern accent, but I've just watched a re lian;d of the Kosmet Kluh all-male show, "Southern Kr posuri'," which opens at the Temple theater April 20 for a live day run. I have the warm southern breezes, the beating hoof of racing fillies and the soft tones of Carolina crooners runnlnsr rampant In my veins. I didn't stay long enough to find out what happened to that prize pief-e of horseflesh, "South em Exposure." in the big rice, but I know that his owner, Larry, por trayed by DOn Boehm, was up to his neck in hot water when I left. It may be that Don, with his me lodious tones, can carry him to victory on the wings of song, but these boise races are funny thing. (Just ask the man that bet tbem ). The prize of this collection of feminine creatures is Thurston Phelps, an outstanding candidate for Coach Bible's 1J36 football machine, according to spring prac tice. Phelp looks like a wet dish rag before he ever arrives for chorus practice. He has a hard time changing from that follow through required for a punt and the dainty jointed-toe of a dancer. But I'm telling you, girls, he'll look Just too cute for words when he dons a hooped skirt for "South ern Exposure.'" I'm sure that his twinkling toe will dance their way right into your heart. Another thing that I left un solved was that nasty triangle that Larry became involved In. I hope that the sweet, unsophisticated lit tle Southern Mis. Caroline, played by Bill Strong, come through with flying color. I didn't real ize what could be done to Bill with a wig and a dash of makeup, but he certainly make a comely gal. (Oh fudge).

In the high hurdles Lloyd Card well, Ken Chapman, Ed Franks, Standley Haight and Bill Gish are the aspiring candidates, with "Cardy" favored to lead the pack over the shuttles. Cosgrove and Athey are the two pole vaulters who will compete. Cardwell and Dawson are the only broadjump ers, but Dawson is still ailing from an internal injury. "Cardy" will also demonstrate his prowess in the hop-skip-and-jump event. Sam Francis looms as the one and only in the shotput division, as his past performances have been indicative of his superiority in this pastime. Sam will also perform in the discus throw.

KOSMET KLU6 PLANS TO CUT SHOW'S PONY CHORUS CAST TO TEN Directors State Smaller Group Makes Possible More Dances. Kosmet Klub's pony chorus, part of its all male production, "South ern Exposure," will be cut down to ten members, according to direc tors. It is planned to use the chorus in more dances than in former years, a smaller group making this possible. The dancing huskies are to ap pear four times, twice more than last year when there was a much larger chorus. In the first act a darky number will be the theme of the appearance, and in the second the men will do an old fashioned waltz. In the third act they will ap pear in a jockey number and a modern dance. A smaller chorus will make it l easier for the show to go on the j road should faculty permission be granted. Additionally Dr. Ireland, director, has found it is much easier to mold the chorus into shape when it contains only ten members. Both the pony chorus and cast are practising nightly, the former in the basement of Teachers' col lege and the cast in the Temple. Joe Iverson, former Kosmet Klub member, has charge of direction of the cast and of the double quar tet, feature of the show. Song spots, taken from contributions of students, have been filled in, ac cording to Robert Pierce, presi dent. E Phi Lambda Upsilon Holds Initiation Banquet on April 7.
