After a temporary cast had been chosen for the Eugene O'Neill production, "Marco Millions", the director, M1'. Ley, ran into difficu lties in the form of semester examinations. It has been decreed by the office of the Dean of Studies that no student having two D's or the equivalent thereof shall be allowed to take !Jart in the production . As a consequence, the entire cast, with the exception of the two principals, has been dismissed and Mr. Ley wi ll begin in the near future to re-select his thespians in order that work on the play may begin as soon as possible. With much valuable time already lost, it will be necessary for the actors to do an immense amount of I wor k in a very short time in order to I OFFER SERIES OF catch up WIth their schedule of pro- j .

definitely selected, however, 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 unusual 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 endeavors in the pas t and is expected to gTeatly strengthen the play.

The play has been produced but twice bedore, once by the New York Theatre Guild, and once by the Chi­cago Guild. As a result, the staging of the pIny, with its massive scenes and lavish decorations, is n bit in the experimental stuge and will neces­sitate a great nmount of stody on the part of Mr. Ley 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.

DePaul lost to St. Viator on December 15 by a score of 13-12. DePaul had not been beaten in two years. DePaul be­lieved 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 accident-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 .

Second Half Fast.

Wesleyan a.nd Viator were both anxious at the opening of the second half, and each mi ssed a few easy ones. Wesleyan came to first and made a basket to reduce the Irish lead to three points. The basket seemed to awaken the Viatol'ians, for they quickly popped in two more field goals to again take a substantial lead. The Titans were never again close, although a belated rush in the last few minutes of play brought them to within five points of the Irish total.
