The games were first scheduled on the Northwestern campus in 1920 by the Women's Athletic association. The schedule then included an inter-class track meet, and a championship base- ball game. In 1921 the first banquet was held, while in the following year another innovation was made--tele- graph track and archery meets were started. This year the program commences at 10 a. m. when the finals of the great intramural tennis championship are held on the varsity courts on Sheridan road. At 2 p. m. a telegraphic track meet between Towa and Ohio girls will be run off. The final baseball game of the year, to settle the inter-class Northwestern university campus championship, will be played at 4 p. m. between the picked teams of the junior and senior classes. The Field Day will bé officially closed with a banquet fol- lowing the baseball game. The dinner will be held at Madeisti hall of the Baptist church, Evanston, with the usual banquet ceremonies. Katherine V. Hulteen of Evanston is the chairman in charge of the field day committee. She is assisted by Helen Teverbaugh of Evanston, who will direct the concessions; Jean Brockway of Evanston, in charge of the programs; Margaret Bodorff of Long Beach, California, is directing the publicity, and Miriam Waite of Evans- ton is social chairman. Marjorie Smith of Wilmette is head of the archery events; Virginia Ingram of Winnetka is directing the golf; Emily Hobson of 5328 Dorchester ave- nue, Chicago, is taking charge of ten- nis; Marjorie Reynolds of Evanston is supervising track, while Beatrice Lum- lev of Woodstock, Ill, is manipulating the baseball arrangements. All alumni of the university have been invited to participate in the ac- tivities, while a cordial invitation has been extended to the general public to witness the girls' capabilities. 1] 'LOANS WITHOUT 1?

PRESENT 39 OPERAS IN RAVINIA SEASON Formal Opening of Summer Opera to be Saturday, June 26; Tickets on Sale Two of the world's greatest operatic artists, Lucrezia Bori and Giovanni Martinelli, will open the Ravinia opera season with Manon Lescaut Saturday evening, June 26. This combination of artists and opera insures a packed house and there fol- lows a repertoire of operas and list | of artists for the season, of such merit as has been unexcelled in the history of this lovely and famous woodland opera house. Sunday evening, June 27, Madame Butterfly will be given with Elizabeth Rethberg, the Metropolitan opera's greatest woman singer, and Mario Chamlee. Tuesday evening, June 29, Romeo and Juliet will be sung by Lucrezia Bori and Edward Johnson. These interesting facts were an- [nounced at the luncheon for the Ra- vinia club given at the Moraine hotel [last Friday by Louis Eckstein. About 160 members were present, the meet- ing being the largest and most in- spiring the club has ever held. Mrs. Ralph Poole of Lake Forest, president of the club, was in charge of the meeting and made an address followed by the report of last season's activities, read by the recording sec- | retary, Mrs. Arthur Byfield. Eckstein Tells Plans | Mr. Eckstein told of the plans for the Ravinia opera season for 1926 and there were frequent ripples of laughter also when he spoke of a few of the [trials which beset the life of an im- pressario. Thirty-nine operas are included on this seasons roster, thirty-two of which will be selected. One of the operas new to New York, "La Vida Breve," will be among the number. There will be no mosquitoes this summer at Ravinia "except those you bring with you" Mr. Eckstein an- nounced, the plauge to be eliminated by the method of "birth control," $25,000 having been voted by the San- itary board for the draining of Skokie Valley. The ticket selling campaign has al- ready been started in the north shore towns and this promises to be a ban- ner year in attendance as well as in perfection of musical art.
