ductionrwo Leads A r e Decided. The two principals have been definitely selected, howeve r, and the part of Marco Polo will be played by John Mehren, of the class of '34 . Although Mr. Mehren is but a Freshman, he has had considerable dramatic training before entering St. Viator and has given much promise of unusua l ability during his short mateiculation here. The opposite lead, the part of Kukachin, will be taken by Miss Frances Mary Clancy, '32. Mi ss Cla ncy has also had considerable experience in dramatic end eavors in the pas t and is expected to gTeatly strengthen th e play. Coll ege Recei vi n g Aid. The play has been produced but twi ce bedore, once by the New York Theatre Guild, and once by the Chicago Guild. As a result, the stagin g of the pIny, with its massive scenes and lavis h decorations, is n bit in the experimental stuge and will necessitate a great nmount of stody on the part of Mr. L ey and his assistants, The cast of the play is receiving u large amou nt of aid from the New York Guild, however, who ure helping Mr. Ley in hi s planning with sugge~tions from their own play. The College is planning upon producin glhe piny in one of the downtown Kankakee theatl'es as soon after El\~tt.· 1" us possible.

DePaul lost to St. Viator on December 15 by a scor e of 13-12. DePaul had not been beaten in two years. DePa ul beli eved herself invulnerable on her own floor. DePaul had visions of a nat ional championship. And thereby hangs a tragedy. For two months the Blue Demons have been loud in proclaiming that 13-12 affair an acciden t-one of those th ings which happen to every good team once in a while. For two months, t he Blue Demons have told the good people of Chicago and the State of Illinois just what was going to happen to a certain St. Viator when said upstart invaded the DePaul floor . And for two months, St. Viator has gone on her way, quietly acquiring victories a nd avoiding defeat until they stepped on the Roar of the DePau l gym with a record of eleven straig h t w ins a nd no losses. When they stepped off t hat floor, the record stood at twe lve consec uti ve wins a,nd no defeats, and t h e
