These elections willbe held in the chapel period of thetwo classes.Three members will be chosen atthis time to serve as members dur¬ing their Junior and Senior years.They will then compose the chiefexecutive positions of the council,president, secretary, and treasurer.The Honor commission will alsohold its election at this time. TwoJuniors and four Seniors will beelected to the commission. Thedate for this election has been setfor Tuesday, Feb. 24, in the Sopho¬more class, and Wednesday, Feb.25, in the Junior class.“ It is planned,” said KennethLaird, president of the Undergrad¬uate council, “ to combine these twoelections in order that the time ofthe two classes can be saved. Wewill also not require the possessionof class tickets in order that wemay have the entire vote of theclass. We realize that past elec¬tions have been held under the classticket restriction, but believe thatthe really magnanimous way inwhich to hold such an election is toput forth every effort to secure theunanimous vote of the class.” The Senior Executive Councilwill meet today before chapel inthe rear of Mandel hall.Brown Students VoteAgainst AttendingBrown university students voted460 to 290 against compulsory chapelwhich has been in force since 1754.A vote was also taken concerning theinauguration of afternoon classes onthe schedule this present semester.Their objection was that men work¬ing their way through college havefound late classes a hardship and thatthe football coaches last year saidBrown would soon be without an ade¬quately trained team unless the mem¬bers of the squad found it possible toreport before 5 o’clock.ETA SIGMA PHI HOLDSROUND TABLEDISCUSSIONThe relative merits of ancient Greekcivilization and the civilization of to¬day will be discussed at a round tablemeeting of Eta Sigma Phi, the Un¬dergraduate Classical club, to be heldtoday at 4:30 in Classics 20. Half ofthose present will defend the presentsystem of civilization, social stand¬ards, status of women and forms ofgovernment, while the others will tryto show how superior was the cultureof Greek and Rome.After this question has been set¬tled John McDonald and AlbertDaugherty will give in dialogue formthe fifth idyll of Theocritus, a Greekwriter. The poem is a pastoral andillustrates the daily life and customsof Greek shepherds. A short businessmeeting will follow, at which progressin the nationalization project will bereported.The national constitution has beenforwarded for approval to the class¬ical societies of Northwestern andOhio universities, and they are expect¬ed to reply favorably. It is becauseof this plan of nationalization that theClassical club has been forced tochange its name. Formerly the clubwas Phi Sigma, but when a nationalbiological society of that title was dis¬covered it was made Eta Sigma Phi.Plans are now being made for theannual Roman banquet, to be heldMarch 6 in Ida Noyes hall. Announcement was made todayby Harrison Barnes, class presidentof the Senior class dinner to beheld Wednesday evening, Feb. 11,in the Disciples of Christ church.Because of the small capacity ol thechurch only 150 tickets will be onsale. Seniors holding class cardswill be admitted for fifty cents, theremainder being charged one dollar.“ It is only possible to have our so¬cial affairs so cheap because of thefund in the Senior treasury whichbears the brunt of the expense,”Fred Law, treasurer of the class,said.An evening of entertainment isbeing planned by the Senior execu¬tives. Bill Hahn’s ‘‘Kollege Krew”will lead the festivities of the eve¬ning, according to Barnes. Dancing,bridge, mah-jong and ping-pong willbe provided for those desiring rec¬reation after dinner.Tickets will be on sale afterchapel Thursday and from 2:30 to4:30 every day in the undergradu¬ate council room in Cobb.TRUSTEES TO TALKTO HITCHCOCK MEN O’HARA TO SPEAKAT MEETING OFDRAMATICS CLUBRich Chooses Cast for PlayTo Be Given ByFrosh Weller ThinksRescue PartyIn No DangerThe University Dramatic associa¬tion will hold its regular monthlymeeting today’at 3:30 in the Rey¬nolds club theatre.

This is one of the regu¬lar bi-monthly smokers held by theresidents of the hall.Mr. Dickerson, who is secretary oithe board, will talk on present fea¬tures of the hall and its relation iuthe University. This will representthe official views of the University re¬garding the hall and will be of greatsignificance to all men residing there.To Speak on University DevelopmentThe subject of Mr. Sherer’s talkwill be “Objectives and Purposes ofthe University Development Cam¬paign.” Mr. Sherer is vice-chairmanof the Committee on Development,(Continued on page 2) To Date or NotTo Shave—MenWonder“ To shave or not to shave, thatis the question” for campus men toconsider if they respect their scho¬lastic standing sufficiently to foregothe daily tournament with soap,brush, and shining razor, accordingto authorities on the subject. “ Ifwe do not shave, women will not goout with us; if we don’t go out withthem during exam week, there isevery chance in the world that ourgrades will automatically climb upnearer the goal where they belong.”So much for the opinion of a camp¬us shaver.Dr. Bratfish, famed for years(Continued on page 2)Francine Larrimore of ‘Parasites ’Tells Early Stage ExperiencesBY ROSELLE F. MOSS“ Come in,” said the charminglyfeminine voice of Francine Larri¬more as the interviewer knocked onthe door of the star’s dressing room,adorned with a large “ L.” Thesmall room is situated in the backof the stage at the Princess thea¬tre, where Miss Larrimore is nowplaying in “ Parasites,” “ a livelyand most interesting play breakingall records in selling tickets,” ac¬cording to the critics.“ Won’t you sit down, and askme all the questions you can thinkof? Of course before you start, Iknow that you are going to askme how I happened to go on thestage. No, when I was a child, Inever had any idea of playing be¬fore the footlights. Naturally I hadlessons in elocution—every littlegirl did; but further than that, Iwas uninterested. I had just beengraduated from the Normal collegeof New York city, when I sawMaude Adams play in ‘ What EveryWoman Knows.’ I believe that thesight of that play, and the wonder¬ful acting would be an incentivefor anyone to try for the limelight.Then, too, I had quarreled with mysister, so I 1 went off on my own,*as it were. I like my part in ‘Par¬asites ’ just as much as I enjoyedthe role in ‘ Nice People,’ althoughthe two characters are entirely dif¬ ferent. You see, I would ratherstarve than do anything I do notlike.” And the prominent youngactress emphasized this statementwith a toss of her head.“ Like Chicago? Well, I shouldsay I do. Why shouldn’t I? Yousee, the people seem to like me andmy work, so I like their town. Isn’tthat natural? No! I should cer¬tainly disagree there. There are anumber of towns in which I haveplayed where the people like neitherme nor my work.”As she talked, the interviewerwatched Miss Larrimore’s every ges¬ture. She seemed as natural seatedin her dressing room in a soft bluegown with a band of the same colortwined in her titian-coiored hair, asshe is on the stage. “ Makeup ” ofevery kind was arranged on herdressing table; gowns—green, orch¬id, and blue—were hanging aroundthe small room.“ I have never seen the Univer¬sity of Chicago, and probably neverwould have visited it had I not re¬ceived an invitation to be presentat a Haskalah club meeting, Fridayafternoon. I will not speak, becauseI do not give readings and doubt¬lessly would stutter without theprotection of the footlights. I wasindeed glad to hear that the Juniorclass has selected 4 Parasites ’ asthe play they wish to see.” Rescue parties engaged in thetask of freeing Floyd Collins,trapped in Sand cave are compara¬tively safe, in the opinion of StuartWeller, professor of paleontologicgeology at the University of Chi¬cago, who has, for years, conductedfield work in the region, and whois thoroughly familiar with its ge¬ologic formations. It is not prob¬able, Prof. Weller thinks, that an¬other boulder will be dislodged with¬in the present century.“ Going into Sand cave, one no¬tices a number of huge rocks scat¬tered about,” he said. “ But theseboulders have been loosened hun¬dreds of thousands of years ago. Itis a rare occasion now when onegets loose.”Region Full of CavesThe subterranean region of thecountry is honeycombed with cavesof the Sand cave type, Prof. Wellerpointed out. In Sand cave, at thepoint where Collins is imprisoned,the air is pure and the temperatureregular, varying between forty andfifty degrees above zero. Geologistshave found, Prof. Weller explains,that the caves in Kentucky havebeen formed underground due tothe solution of limestone throughunderground drainage. The rocksunderlying the surface soil are soluble to surface water resultingfrom rains.Water Form* CavesAs the water seeps through, dis¬solving the limestone as it goes, animmense underground system isformed. This has been going onfor a long geologic time, impossibleto compute in terms of years.The rock solution has producedsubterranean rivers at the lowercave levels. In the Sand cave regionsprings from these undergroundstreams feed the Green river. NEW RULING REQUIRES‘C’ ELIGIBILITY AVERAGEFaculty Meeting Votes to Put New InnovationThrough At End of Spring ofThis YearDarwin Was Right,Says Critic, But—Darwin was right — about theanimal kingdom.But when intrepid literati cometo apply the theory of evolution,as stated by Darwin and modifiedby DeVries, to the short story,their conclusions are far fromvalid.At any rate, such is the opin¬ion of a well-known critic whosearticle, “ The Evolution of theShort Story,” is scheduled to ap¬pear in the February number ofThe Circle, out next Wednesday.The critic discusses forms ofthe short story since PetroniusArbiter, and points out the dis¬tinct changes both in manner andsubject matter which that formof fiction has undergone.Experts DiscoverMillenium ofPacifismCOMPLETE PLANS FORTRIANON MARDIGRASPlans for the annual Mardi Grasball at the Trianon Wednesday, Feb.11. have been completed, accordingto a statement made last night byRay Peterrson, campus manager ofthe event.This fete night, which has beentaken from a Russian story by IvanKupla, is being given by the Art In¬stitute. The Pageant itself was writ¬ten by Margaret Mitchell, a studentin the downtown art school. Peasantcostumes as well as courtly dress willbe displayed by the various classesand groups of the Institute. Prizeswill also be offered for the most real¬istic impersonations.“The • Mardi Gras,” said Petersonlast night, “is one of Chicago’s big¬gest events. Heretofore it has alwaysbeen held in the halls of the Art In¬stitute with very limited admission. History proves that the possibil¬ity of prolonged peace is not a mythnor the hope of an over-imaginativepeople.Three experts in the archaeologyof the Maya civilization—MitchellHedges, Dr. Thomas Gann, andLady Brown—have recently discov¬ered that a pacifist civilizationflourished in the British Hondurasfor 1,000 years. The downfall ofthis remarkable government camewhen the inhabitants discovered thedelicious joys of warfare, and theyI took it up with such vim and en-1 thusiasm that in a few hundredyears “they did themselves in.”The capital of their country wasLabaantum, a city which was “lost”until a few years ago, and theseMayas are supposed to have beenMongolians. Their population neverexceeded two hundred and fiftythousand. Pyramids and dignifiedburial grounds were built.The three savants named abovebelieve it worth while to retracetheir steps through the tropical jun¬gle of the British Honduras, some¬time in the near future, despite thetemperature of 105 degrees, in or¬der to decipher from the recordsabout the premises more details ofthis pacific but not uneventful civil¬ization.PITY THE POOR MOAS,ALL GONE BUTPELIBLESIn days gone by, flocks of care-free\ Moas ran about on the plainsof New Zealand, rejoicing in thefreedom of the great open spaces.When the Moa was created, how¬ever, no digestive apparatus wasprovided, but the ingenious birdlearned to fill its gizzard with peb¬bles, in order to grind up its food.Now this ferocious species is nomore. All that remains of the onceplentiful race is a few little pilesof precious stones which the Moais supposed to have picked up—ac¬cidentally, of course—in his searchfor his daily pebble.According to William T. Horna-day, noted naturalist, our own wildfowl are due to meet with the sametragic fate as the poor Moa, if careis not immediately taken. The sup¬ply is swiftly exhausted, and in thenot very far distant future all thatwill be left of the familiar wildpigeon will be left of the familiarwild pigeon will be a pitiful heapof stones. New Yardstick ToProsperity Is SugarNo longer is the wealth of a coun¬try measured by the amount of goldand silver in its treasury, or by' thenumber of mines it possesses, or bythe variety and success of its indus¬tries. No, this new yardstick of pros¬perity is sugar. This theory was ex¬pounded by R. F. Taber, an OhioState university economist, who ex¬plained his point by saying that “thecraving for sugar is proportional tothe craving for other luxuries and hu¬man indulgences, and we can get afairly accurate idea of a nation’s pros¬perity from its per capita consumptionof sugar.”FASHION SHOW ENTRANTSAll entrants in the FederationFashion Show must be in thedressing rooms under the stageof Mandel hall by 2:30 Friday.There will be an information deskin the foyer of Ida Noyes hallfrom 12 to 1:30, where all ques¬tions will be answered. Following the new policy adoptedby the University administration inregard to the general scholastic aver¬age of the undergraduate students, thefaculty of the College of Arts, Lit¬erature and Science voted in meetinglast Saturday that, beginning at theend of the Spring quarter, 1925, a stu¬dent who has been in residence forthree quarters or more should beplaced on probation .;.f his record as awhole falls below the average stand¬ing required for graduation—in theterms of the present grading system,if his average falls below C.The rule regarding probation whiciihas been in forced up to the presenttime allowed the student’s average tolall a little below C, and was statedas “four grade points below the nor¬mal minimum of two per majortaken.” But the authorities, in follow¬ing the policy that a student shouldmaintain throughout his scholastic ca¬reer a grade standing equal to *hatrequired for graduation, and follow¬ing the recent plan instituted by DeanErnest Hatch Wilkins in regard tofraternity eligibility, have formed thisnew’ rule to remove all small incon¬sistencies from the general policy andmake it a uniform and definite rule.Ruling a WarningThe new ruling serves also to pro¬vide effective warning for any studentwhose work is so low that if it shouldcontinue at the same level he couldnever graduate.Commenting on the new rule. DeanWilkins said: “We are steadily com¬ing to the point of recognizing thatthe main test of whether a student isreally in good standing or not is'whether his record as a whole is upto the standing required for gradua¬tion. The new policies with regard toeligibility for intramural activities andwith regard to fraternity scholarship,both adopted and announced lastautumn, point in the same direction.I hope we may soon be able to regardprobation and ineligibility as prac¬tically synonymous. This would be acommon-sense rule, and would great¬ly simplify many problems of admin¬istration. The new rule is not likelyto affect any great number of stu¬dents, but I hope and expect that itwill serve to check and straighten outsome who might otherwise drop sofar in their work as to be in dangerof dismissal.” 'GREEN HALL PLANSANNUAL FACULTYFORMALOn the mystic night of Friday, thethirteenth of February, chosen mem¬bers of the faculty will be entertainedby the women of Green hall, as hasbeen the custom for many years, ac¬cording to Dean Marian Talbot, whois head of the house.About two hundred faculty mem¬bers who are the special favorites ofthe women of the hall have been askedto attend. Dean Talbot, Mr. AlgernonColeman, the house councillor, and hiswife will receive, and twelve womenof the hall will act as hostesses.“The faculty party has always beena popular formal event for the womenand they all take pride in making theprogram for the evening one that willbe remembered. Last year it took theform of a play called ‘The Mind Inthe Making.’ The guests were takenup to the top floor of the hall, wherethe mind of the freshman at collegewas represented, and as they camedown, each floor showed the develop¬ment for each year, until the gradu¬ate stage was reached. The entertain¬ment for this year’s party is equallyattractive, and we feel sure our guestswill be pleased as well surprised bythe novel evening we have plannedfor them,” said Betty Frank, who is incharge of the entertainment.■kTHE DAILY MAROON, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1925(HV 5atl.it jfflarnott BY THE WAYThe Student Newspaper of theUniversity of ChicagoPublished mornings, except Sunday andMonday during the Autumn, Winter andSpring quarters by The Daily MaroonCompany.Entered as second class mail at the Chi¬cago Postofflce, Chicago, Illinois, March13. 190d, under the act of March 3, 1878.Offices Ellis 1Telephones:Editorial Office Midway 0800Business Office Fairfax 5522Member ofThe Western Conference Press Association This column is conducted for thepurpose of creating and stimulat¬ing interest of the student body inthe history of the campus and Uni¬versity as a whole.

Three days of the week’s drivefor our unlucky fellow students inEurope are gone, and we have givenconsiderably less than the membersof other colleges.Perhaps the reason is this: At thebeginning of the drive the commit-1tee decided not to he melodramatic;not to paint gruesome pictures. Theyhave based their appeal not on thestarvation that exists, but on the foodthat is being supplied. They believedthat such a mode of attack was moreethical, and more courteous to thepersons solicited. We wonder if ithas also proved less pecuniary. Wewonder if the students at Chicagomust be spell-bound before they willgive.An objection has been raised be¬cause the Undergraduate council pur¬poses to enforce payment of pledges.We hope that such a move is not nec¬essary in the first place. The collegeauthorities have not yet consented toit; and the committee does not urgeit. The important thing is that everystudent give something.Today, in the Senior chapel, thecommittee will make its last appealfor money. We should like to see thestudent body make up its quota whileit still has the chance.De Bosis to Lecturein Harper Ml 1 TodayDr. Lauro De Bosis will lecture to¬day at 4:30 in Harper Assembly roomon “Recent Archaeological Discover¬ies in Italy.” The lecture will he il¬lustrated and will be delivered in En¬glish.

Questions1. Why was the University divid¬ed into Junior and Senior, colleges?—Chuck.2. Didn’t the Freshmen publish apaper all their own, once upon atime?—Billy Kin.3. Was the possibility of the Uni¬versity of Chicago becoming a na¬tional institution ever considered?—One Dring.4. Was there ever a monthly pa¬per edited by the students? If so,when?—Polly Sigh.5. What is the Alumni council?When was it first organized?—A1 Umna.Answers1. One of the basic ideas of theplan of the University’s organiza¬tion, Chuck, has always been thatthe work of the first two years ofthe undergraduate course was col¬lege work, while true Universitywork has been considered to beginwith the last two yars.2. .Yes, Billy Kin, the so-called“Green Cap” was once a flourish¬ing student publication. You recog¬nize, of course, the fact that it waschristened “Green Cap” with apolo¬gies to the traditional verdant capsof the yearlings. The paper firstmade its appearance in 1915, devot¬ing space solely to the interests ofthe class of 1919.3. Yes, Churck, a Dr. P. S. Hen¬son once said during a great meet¬ing of all the societies in the newlycompleted Auditorium:“ I believe in a national Univer¬sity, a University so solid in itsfoundations and lofty in its aspira¬tions that it deserves to be denomi¬nated national. . . We / havecome to a new era in the historyof Chicago. We stand tonight inan august presence. . . No won¬der that the public-spirited citizensof every faith . . . shouldwatch this movement with profoundinterest and assist it with their con¬tributions. . . The Universityof Chicago through all the years ofcoming time will tower like amighty Pharos, shining with a moreresplendent luster than the electriclight which gleams from the Statueof Liberty in New York harbor,and which guides the storm-tossedmariner into port. . . . Breth¬ren of Chicago and the great North¬west, for us this is a day of days, a battle run defeat, a day to re¬joice in with a humble, hearty grat¬itude to God, a day to tell to ourchildren’s children, and for remot¬est posterity to celebrate.” In-as-much as it is situated in the heartof the country and easily accessiblefrom all parts of the United States,the possibility is not unreasonable.4. Yes, Polly Sigh, there was a“Monthly Maroon” appearing in1902, but, unfortunately, did notlast. It is said of it, “ The MonthlyMaroon did one notable service,publishing in 1906, a" fine ‘SouvenirNumber.’ ” It ceased to appear aft¬er 1907.5. As the number of local clubsof alumni formed in cities as wide¬ly separated as Boston, Omaha,New York and Chicago, the need ofa central body in a sense control¬ling all the alumni in general, be¬came so evident, hat the AlumniCouncil, forming in 1909, provedthe only solution. Gradually it cameto be composed of delegates fromthe Associations of the CollegeAlumni, of the Doctors of Philoso¬phy, of the Divinity and of the LawAlumni, from the Chicago Alumniand Chicago Alumnae clubs, withone representative from the facultyof the University. “ Before the endof the first quarter the organizationof more than thirty local alumniclubs in all parts of the UnitedStates and in Hawaii, the PhilippineIslands, and Japan, was reported, asignificant attestation of the loyaltyof the University’s graduates.”WAYFARERGYM AND WRESTUNGTEAMS TO PERFORMTONIGHTCoaches Hoffer and Yoories willtake their respective squads to Mc-Kinlay Park at 39th and WesternAvenues tonight for an exhibition per¬formance, which is scheduled to startat 8 o’clock.It is expected that McDaniels,Quinn, Connor, Paisley, Baird andBehrnd will represent Chicago in thegymnastic stunts. Captain Van Vac-tor, whose ineligibility has occasionedCoach Hoffer a hit of worry, oughtto be able to clear away scholasticdifficulties by the 20th, and his returnwill holster up the squad considerably.Chicago is strong in gym work, hav¬ing copped six out of the last sevenBig Ten championships, and hasgreat possibilities for this year in spiteof the fact that McDaniels and Pais¬ley, with Van Yactor, are the onlyexperienced men.Coach Yoories will take his versitywrestlers to compete against thefreshman aggregation.

Ofcourse the women will not go outwith them wh°n they begin to re¬semble the countenance of a tie¬walking tramp, and they can studya little, for a change.”Thus a new custom has sprungup on campus, backed by most ofthe fraternities and many of the“ big men.”The prospect of shaving being ab¬solutely prohibited during exam pe¬riod now looms before the mascu¬line half of the University. In-as-much as three fraternities havelately had the tragedy of low scho¬lastic standing impressed on them,it is suspected that-the idea mighthave originated in their lodges.There is little doubt among thoseinterviewed that*the plan will aidin raising the scholarship average.Practically, all those who expressedtheir opinions about the matter em¬phatically stated that the womenstudents will not date with themwhen they don’t shave. “ Of coursewe won’t go out with them whenthey look like that,” said one wom¬an student, “ I think the plan quiteworkable.”The formulation of a constitu¬tion for thp organization of shave-strikers has not, as yet, been de¬veloped. It is rumored, however,that the law students are trying thescheme in hopes that it will benefittheir standing in their present ex¬ams. The campus is watching to seejust what the nature of the out¬come will be.

With a viewto making life in Hitchcock hall amore vital part of the experience ofmen living there, a series of Sundaymorning breakfasts have been in¬augurated.The Sunday morning breakfast,,which is now becoming an institutionin the hall, is one that the men them¬selves have carried out.

An enlightenment has dawn¬ed upon American minds throughthe efforts of Mr. Florenz Ziefield,the well-known perpetrator of the“Follies”, and famed connoisseur offeminine beauty. It is his opinionthat the great physical shortcomingof American women is knock knees!In a recent interview, as statedin the Ohio State Lantern, Mr.Ziegfield committed himself to theunexpected belief that “reversedknees are prevalent hmong Amer¬ican women.” He ought to know!His opportunities for judgment aresuch, both in number and in qual¬ity, as are the envy of more thanone “tired business man.” Thushis discovery will have to be ac¬cepted as a fact.Picture the amorous youth, gaz¬ing entranced into the fair face ofthe sweet young thing, when sud¬denly, like the well known ‘Edenic’serpent, comes the thought thatperhaps her knees “stick togetherlike sap to a tree”! ’Twere betterthat the announcement be forgot¬ten, so that romance may continueunmolested.Teresa Dolan DancingSchool1208 E. 63rd St. (Near Woodlawn)Beginners' Class-*-Mon., Tues. & Tburs.eveningsAdvanced, with Orchestra—Wed. andSaturday.Tango—FridayPrivate l<*ssons day or eveningTel.

And, al¬though Kelly played their best gameof the season and scored 4 to 7 inthe first half, they could not breakup the basket-tossing combinationthat has made Drexel a feared quin¬tette. Aided by three or four wiz¬ard cagers such as Nordlund, thisoff-campus team emphasized theirsupremacy by a 21 to 7 final score.Beecher Down* KenwoodKenwood was marked off for an¬other victory when Woodlawn failedto play the game as scheduled.Lack of a full team kept the latteroff the floor. However, a practicegame was played between Beecherand Kenwood which resulted in a25-0 win for Beecher. This scrim¬mage gave the Kenwooders an inti¬mation of what they will have .tomeet when they face Green’s fasttossers. For, if the latter keep uptheir spirit and continued wins,they will surely be the possessorsof the cup at the end of the season.Last week, in playing Beecher,this squad showed excellent prowessin the defensive, and last night’sscrimmage proved them equally ad¬equate on the other half of thefloor. And most noticeable of allwas their teamwork that showed inevery play. In spite of the pres¬ence of the two best guards possi¬ble, Rymer and Egberg, tossed bas¬kets with speed and precisionthroughout the play. If only Green¬wood could develop as fast and in¬genious offense as their inimitableBullard-Loveless guarding combina¬tion, Green and Drexel would haveto struggle more eagerly for thefinal victory. But at the presentstage the dangerous trio are un¬doubtedly Beecher, Drexel, andGreen.To indulge in further “ ifs,”—ifKelly had more available playersand one or two to equal Bolt andMasilko, she might enter into therace a little more hopefully. Ken¬wood and Woodlawn are in some¬what the same predicament, but anyof these may yet develop into crack MINER OF OHIO STATELEADS BIG TENIN SHOWINGA resume of the basketball gamesplayed to date shows that JohnnyMiner, Ohio State veteran, leads theBig Ten scoring with 23 baskets and16. free throws for a total of 62 points.Cunningham, also of Ohio, takes sec¬ond rating with a grand total of 48points, while Haggerty, Michigan cap¬tain; Rasey of Minnesota, and Laudeof Iowa follow with 44, 42 and 41points, respectively.Ohio State has three men numberedamong the ten high scorers of the con¬ference. It is interesting to note thatDaugherty of Illinois is the onlymember of the conference leaders totake place among the ten high scor¬ers, he coming eighth with 32 pointsto his credit..Abbott is high point man on theChicago squad with 19 to his credit.Alyea. who made three baskets anda free throw in the single gameagainst Ohio State, can be expectedto perform creditably in succeedinggames, and is expected to take a lead¬ing place among the scorers, despitehis late start.to passTtudentRELIEF HAT TODAYSeniors Will Contribute inThis NoonSeniors as a class are to be giventhe opportunity to contribute to theStudent Friendship drive today atnoon in Senior chapel.

So we sattogether and he borrowed our Ma¬roon, used our notes, and fountain jpen, and was in other ways obligingand friendly. Prevailed upon, heconsented to forge out a little pieceto regale our readers.He is of the electIs one of the Select—The Circle—he edits it.You will not discredit it. Remember the good old dayswhen mother said, “Willie, you musteat that crust. It’s the only thingthat makes little boys strong,” or“Mary, if you want pretty rosycheeks, you’ll have to eat the crustof your bread.” The crust was justterribly hard, but you managed toget away with it. Prof. Roscoe Hart Shaw of theAmerican Institute of Baking upsetall of our grandmothers’ ideas whenhe experimented on two youngbrother albino rats. He fed one oncrusts and the other on the crumbsof the same loaves of bread, andwhen they should normally havebeen full-grown, the one fed oncrusts was only the size of a mouse,while the other was a real pugilist.The experiment was repeated sev¬eral times, and each time the result was the same.“ And that explains, at last,” saidProf. Shaw sadly, as he looked overthe two specimens, “ Why all thosecrusts of bread I ate in my scrappyboyhood days, never did seem toput me over the top. The kidsdown the street I went after musthave lived on the crumbs.”SUBSCRIBE TOTHE DAILY MAROON Rental Library Adds'Annette and Sylvie’The story of a girl who couldnot bear to see herself absorbed inthe personality of the man she lovedand the struggle between her heartand her mind, forms the subjectmatter for Romain Rolland’s newnovel, “ Annette and Sylvie,” nowat the Rental library in Classics.This book is the first volume of the series, “ The Soul Enchanted.”The liborary also announces tuereceipt of several copies of each ofthe following books, “WestwardHo!,” “Jane Eyre,” “Mary Barton,”“Vanity Fair,” “Barchester Tow¬ers,” and “The Return of the Na¬tive.”POSTPONE ICE CARNIVALW.
