It is the year of the Passion Play. This stupendous spectacle is presented over a period of five months every tenth year, and Amer icans are attracted to these per formances in increasing numbers each time they are given at Ober- ammergau. The Passion Play will be given every Sunday next May and June, and twice weekly the fiollowipg three months. Attendance at the Passion Play is featured on a num ber of the tours of the newly form ed Catholic Students Travel League in 1930. Besides its religious significance, the Passion Play serves to interest the tourist because of the hospitality of the villagers to the visitors to Oberammergau. Nealy the entire pop ulation of this quaint village, which nestles in the foothills of the Bavar ian Alps, participates in the per formances, and it is the custom that each spectator be housed by a player the night preceding the performance. Already several hundred reserva tions for these quarters have been made for members on tours of the Catholic SPad exits Travel League next Spring and Summer. This or ganization has the endorsement and support of hundreds of church dig nitaries and educators at the leading colleges and schools of the United States and Canada. His Eminence, William Cardinal O’Connell, Arch bishop of Boston, is one of the en dorsers, and the Executive Council is headed by Rev. W. Coleman Nevils, president of Georgetown University. Local headquarters of the League are located at No. 551 Fifth Avenue. The Passion Play, a dramatiza tion of the life of Christ, has been given every tenth year since the plague of 1633. During that year the citizens of Oberammergau vow ed that they would re-enact the life of Christ every tenth year as a thanksgiving offering for having been delivered of the inflictive evil.

Last Saturday a week ago the first battalion, field artillery and the engineers were playing a foot ball game. The artillery was lead ing by one touchdown. One of the BATTALION’S rubber-soled report ers was as usual snooping for news, smoking a long pipe, and hiding in a near-by bush. He overheard the following conversation between Pea nut Owens, well-known ex-studenr and Major J. E. Sloan. The latter, because his organization was win ning, was behaving in a manner very unbecoming to his dignity. Owens: I bet you the artillery doesn’t win. Major Sloan: If it doesn’t I’ll stand on my head on the fifty-yard line immediately after the game Owens: Thatsa bet. (They shake). Before many precious moments had passed the engineers scored a touchdown, and the score was tied, remaining unchanged until the end aie ’ ! of the game. You’ve got to think high to rise, | By thig time the news had spread You’ve got to be sure of yourself | and there were camer amen, report ers, and curious by-standers near the scene of action to behold Major If you think you are beaten, you are, If you think you dare not, you don’t; If you’d like to win but think you can’t, It’s almost certain you won’t. If you think you’ll lose, you’ve lost, For out in the world we find Success begins with a fellow’s will, It’s all in the state of mind. If you think you’re outclassed, you before You can ever win a prize. Life’s battles don’t always go To the stronger or faster man; But sooner or later the man who wins Sloan doing his up-side-down stunt, but the latter, blushing profusely, backed down. And to this day Peanut thinks Is the man who THINKS HE CAN. i that the Major did not keep his bet.
