H. Compton, Uni¬versity physicist who last night ad¬dressed the education club on “TheNew Physics and Its Relation toModern Life.”“If we are occasionally troubled byour own defects and those of man¬kind, it is a comforting thought thatthe 10,000 years of human history oreven the half million years that menI have lived on earth represents only[ a small part of what will probably beI the duration of the race and we mayj confidently expect a more perfecti race of men to follow.” he said,The speaker went on to explain thatphysical science gives us a basis forbelief in a friendly God, thus afford¬ing a basis for the religious beliefs“which have been so comforting tomankind and which have supplied uswith such valuable guides for life.”What's On TodayThe Chemistry Journal club, 3 :30,Kent 1G.The Liberal club, 4:30, HarperMil.The Speakers’ club, 7, Reynoldsclub.The Graduate Political Scienceclub, 7:30, Harper M15.Extension lectures in Religion,7:45, Theology building.The Biological club, 8, Botany 13.The Graduate Classical club, 8,Classics 20.Radio lecture from Mitchell tower,through Station WMAQ.Public lecture “Home Life of theWren,” 8, Ryerson 32.Public lecture, “Ethical Aspects ofBusiness; The Place of Business inCivilized Life,” by Prof. O.

Student CouncilAction QuestionOf Set RuleWhether or not a reporter from TheDaily Maroon dhall he preseivt atmeetings of the Undergraduate coun¬cil is still an undecided question ac¬cording to the report of the Board ofstudent exhibitions, organizations, andpublications, which sat in session Sat¬urday morning.The question was brought up by astudent member of the Board and wasdiscussed by the faculty and studentrepresentatives. Although they did notreach a definite decision 'they didmake clear the fact that it was nottheir desire that the student body in¬terpret from this that they approvedof the action taken by he council.The general stand taken by theBoard ^pf svtident activities, organ¬izations, and publications seems to bothat they believe the question shouldbe one of parliamentary concern rath¬er than of the members of the Un¬dergraduate council. They believe thatstudent rights, or council privilegesshould not he of anv concern, hut rath¬er that the problem is a matter ofform, of set rule.Tt is probable that the question willho again brought before the councilsince the refusal of admittance ofpublicity agents at the sessions of thecouncil has attracted the attention notonly of the organization ruling bodiesbut of students at large. It is doubtfulwhether this definite stand of theundergraduate Council has establisheda permanent precedent which wilt hefollowed out by succeeding undergrad¬uate ruling bodies or whether futurecouncils will adopt a policy of givinglull publicity to their actions.DEAN IS “UP ANDAROUND”; LEAVESHOSPITAL FRIDAY“Mr. Wilkins will leave the hos¬pital Friday. He has been out ofbed for the past week, walkingaround and regaining Touch of hisstrength. His condition is A-l.”This statement, made early by Dr.Henry Howland James, of the Pres¬byterian hospital, constitutes thefirst definite information on the re¬covery of Dean Earnest Hatch Wil¬kins who has been suffering for thepast month from a rundown nervouscondition. Dr. James has been inconstant attendance upon the dean,together with Dr. Herman L. Kret¬schmer. The above decision resultedfrom a consultation of the physicianslast night.That Dean Wilkins will leave theinfirmary this week arouses the ques¬tion of whether or not he will re¬sume his University duties this quar¬ter. “We do not intend to allow Mr.Wilkins to do any work for sometime,” declared Dr. James, in regardto this matter. “How soon he willundertake his scholastic affairs de¬pends on the speed of recuperation.”Members of the dean’s family hadno further information on Mr. Wil¬kins’ condition.

START“STUDENTACTIVTIY PLAN”;CLUBS GIVE AIDSeek to Interest StudentsIn Activities AboutCampusBy Robert C. HarmanIV hat do you do with your sparetime? Are you engaged in the act¬ivities of the University that you likebest? If not, why aren’t you?Many students of the Universityhave no outlet for their spare energyand should find associations that dealin the fields in which they are inter¬ested. In this manner only can theyget the most possible benefit and en¬joyment out of college life.Many Clubs On CampusOn the campus of the Universitythere are about sixty open clubsJ which afford social, educational, and| athletic opportunities to every stu-i dent who takes advantage of them,i There are organizations for everyI interest that a student might have.: Therefore there is no need for any! student to be idle when he mighti be engaged in his favorite pastime.At a banquet last Thursday eve-i ning, that was announced in lasti week’s Maroon, the presidents offorty-six clubs discussed the meansof getting students interested in thevarious activities. This banquet wasthe result of action taken by DeanBoucher on the suggestion of DeanWilkins that a campaign be startedto attract students to the clubs. Theirslogan is, “Every student in *n openclub.”This week is marked by the begin¬ning of the campaign. The clubs areco-operating by holding special meet¬ings with programs to attract pro¬spective members. Those who arebacking this movement hope that allthe students who are not doing allthat they might will avail themselvesof this opportunity to do so.One of the most prominent organ¬izations on campus is the Y. M. C. A.which is affiliated with the nationalassociation.one’s hobby is athletics one willi r> “C” club, Woman’s Athleticorga..._c(Cion, W’omen’s Swimmingclub and others. The circles ofmusic and art afford a very widescope of activity and an invaluableopportunity to those interested. Thevarious dramatic associations, includ¬ing “Blaekfriars” are well known oncampus, and language students willbe helped by the numerous languageorganizations. Many students offoreign birth are in clubs that helpthem and promote their welfare.Public speaking is also well repre¬sented, so it is hard to find a phaseof campus life or a student on thecampus that has not a definite placein one of the clubs, if he or she willonly find it.Four lectures on the “Ethical As¬pects of Business” are being givenunder the auspices of the StudentAssociation of the Theological Semi¬nary by Dr. O. C. Helming, head ofthe department of Economics atCarleton college. The first wasgiven last night at 7 in the Seminary.The second will be given tonight atthe same time, followed by the lasttwo, Wednesday and Thursday eve¬nings. “Que Fait-on Tantot” involves a| domestic scene in a Paris family ona Sunday afternoon, and “Les Cote¬aux du Medoc” is the dramatizationof a crossed wire telephone conversa¬tion.Following the plays, tea will beserved. “This is the first time thatwe have ever attempted to give morethan one play at a performance andwe hope that it will be successful.In connection with the open-clubcampaign we cordially invite all thestudents of the University who areinterested in French,” said EdwardAmes, president of the organization.

It has been nine years since Chicago won a Conference trackchampionship; at the present Tate it may be nine more before an¬other comes to the Midway.Mr. Stagg has been head coach in track, as well as in football,for thirty-two years. He has had his share of success down throughthose years in track, no less than in football. In the twenty-five yearssince 1901, Maroon teams have won three outdoor championships,and of the fifteen indoor meets since 1911, Stagg-coached teamshave taken another three.In twenty-five years of outdoor Big Ten championships meets,Chicago has taken more first places than any other school—seventy-four; in the fifteen indoor championships, the Maroons stand secondto Illinois’s forty-five firsts with thirty-seven victories. Over the sameperiod of indoor Conference meets, Chicago’s 31 1 points also runsecond to the Illini total of 451.Certainly this past record is impressive. It was thought so bythe 1924 American Olympic committee, which selected Mr. Staggto coach the quarter and half-milers for the Paris meet. The recordis impressive, but it is founded on the feats of athletes of over ageneration ago; lately Michigan and Illinois have dominated Confer¬ence track athletics, and Chicago has slipped away from its standardof bygone years. It has been nine years since Chicago has taken achampionship, and with the present lassitude that has settled overMaroon track, it may be many more before a Chicago team repeats.Of late years Mr. Stagg has found his duties increasingly ard¬uous. His work as director of athletics takes up much of his time;he coaches football all fall; he is forced to spend time each yeartraveling to meetings of rtiles committees, etc., of which he is amember; he has found it advisable to spend a few weeks in Floridaeach winter; he personally conducts a winter football class and he isin direct charge of the month of football practice every spring. It isonly natural that he cannot devote as much as his time to the coach¬ing of track as, say, Gill at Illinois or Farrell at Michigan.Track is a highly specialized sport; it requires constant and in¬dividual coaching for every member of the team. Mr. Stagg’s wide¬spread activities make it impossible for him to put in as much workwith the team as other coaches find necessary. Chicago track con¬sequently suffers. We should advise that Mr. Stagg find a place onthe Maroon staff for a track coach who can devote all his time totrack. This would enable Mr. Stagg to limit his activities to coach¬ing football and to directing the department of athletics. We feelthat track deserves a full time coach of its own.

The DailyTuesday Morning SPORTS MaroonFebruary 9, 1926 By all indicationsthe Campus cagersshould have won!OHIO RELAYS BEGIN OUTDOOR SEASONLocals Rest For Last Lap in Cage RaceMEET WISCONSINNEXT SATURDAYIN RETURN TILTWill Have Advantage OfHome Floor ThisWeek EndWith the Last lap of the scheduleat hand, Nels Norgren worked hismen long and hard to prepare for theinvasion of the league leading Badg¬ers. A few weeks ago at Madison theMaroons trimmed Meanwell’s sopho-moric stars but this time although theMaroons will have the advantage ofthe home floor, the result is doubtful.The Badgers always reach their peakform late in the season since Mean-well's system is slow .but thorough.Lose to OhioThe Maroons are endeavoring toovercome their glaring weakness—shooting baskets. With the exceptionof Zimmerman none of the Maroonshave shown any accuracy whatever atthe basket. It was this fault thatcaused the Midwayites to receive theirfourth setback of the season whenthey fell before Ohio State 18-13.Their defense was strong indeed butgames simply cannot be won on four¬teen points. Hocrger, who was downwith the flu, and McDonough with atwisted ankle, both played for a shorttime and their absence was keenly feltthroughout the remainder of thegame. The Buckeyes, however, playedwithout the services of their star cen¬ter, Cookie Cunningham, who seemsto be out for tbe remainder of theseason.Starting off in stellar fashion, theMaroons rang up a 10 to 8 lead at thehalf. As usual during the latter por¬tion of the tilt the Maroons wilted andsome spectacular long shots by Demp¬sey and Jeffrey won tlve game for theStaters.Poor Foul ShootingAgain the Maroons (ailed to takeadvantage of free throws. Had theMaroons defeated the 'Ohioans, theywould have had a good chance to geta share of the Conference buntingbut as it is, only a miracle—whichmeans five straight wins, can get ai\ywhere near the Big Ten leaders. Tobe sure, the Maroons have a few goodgames left in their systems, whichseems to bode ill for some title con¬tenders.MAROONS SUCCUMBTO VICIOUS ATTACKOF HAWK SPLASHERSFinding the Hawkeyes in a toovicious mood after taking five decis¬ive wins, the Maroon natating crewwas forced to succumb under the log¬ging count of 46 to 23. The Iowawater artists were experts at theirtrade and though the score was one¬sided, the heats were not. In factmany of the events were so hotlycontested that it took four judgesand as many disputes to settle theplacing of the men.McClintock is to be classed as thefastest Hawk at the Comsters cam¬pus, taking two firsts and swimmingthe relay in great shape. The sur¬prise of the evening came whenKing, of the quality unknown type,pulled a sneaker and swam his wayto first place.* Jelinek swimming forChicago managed to place second.Although every event was closelydisputed the Maroons were unable toplace a first and made all their pointsin running in the swimmers at thesecond and third touches. Tau Delt, DeltaSigs Bowlers WinSigma Nu lost to Tau Delta Phiin the third game of a three gam?match while the Delta Sigs de¬feated the Chi Psis in a closematch yesterday afternoon. Allgames in both matches were veryclose and the scores were muchhigher than in the average intra¬mural match.After losing the first match tothe Sigma Nus on account of thehigh score of 189 made by Curtin,the Tau Delts came back and wonthe next two games, the last oneby the slight margin of fourpoints.The Delta Sigs did the samewith the Chi Psis, losing the firstand winning the next two. Garardwas high point man for the loserswhile Howel starred for the win¬ners.WHAT of IT?Thursday noon l had what Ithought to be the inexpressible pleas¬ure of encountering Lonny Staggdown in the the basement of Bartlettgymnasium. I am, I inform you (ifmy flippancy hasn't given it away al¬ready), a freshman; Lonnie is fresh¬man track coach. I am out for fresh¬man track, for by doing that I getout of calisthenics, club-swinging andfreshman gym work, which I detest—Mr. Hoffer to the contrary. Igreeted young Mr. Stagg cordially;in truth, I was glad to see him. Buthe only looked hack at me with whatI took to be a baleful glance.“When,” said Lonny, “do you doyour freshman track work?” I toldhim .that I signed up on the morningchart. “Odd,” mused Lonny, “Ihave morning classes, and yet I’venever seen him. Odd, odd—very, veryodd.” I do not, I trust, have to carrythis painful scene farther. 1 am surethat you can see Lonny was castingaspersions on my veracity—that, infact, he was doing nothing less Thaninsinuating that my track work wasdone on paper. It wounded me to seeAlonzo—my own old friend Alonzo,mind you!—using me so. But I for¬gave him, even as—but I refer you toMatthew 14, 4.“Well,” ended Alonzo, “what haveyou to say for yourself?” I told himhow pained I was at his treatment,how unspeakable was my grief, but itseemed not to affect his hard heart.For some moments Lonny was lostin deep thought. “I’ll tell you,” hesaid finally, "there’s a novice trackmeet tomorrow afternoon, and if youdon’t come out and run the 440, I shallbe forced to. take measures which Ishould regret as much as you.” Herewas a frank proposition.Thursday afternoon, accordingly, Iturned up for Alonzo’s meet. Hismanner was somewhat warmer than(Continued on page 4) MACS SLAM WAYTO BASKET TITLE;DEFEAT APACHESDivinity School Team WinsFrom Hitchcock byLarge ScoreFour teams played a couple of fastgames before a good sized crowd lastevening at Bartlett. The play wasbetween Non-Greek teams as is usualon Monday nights. The games wereboth played on the full length court,as there were only two of them.A RunawayThe first tilt of the evening was arunaway, with the Macs taking thelead at the start and holding the leadright through to the finish. Only oneman, Edelman, scored for the losersand he made all five points for lu'steam. The score was 35 to 5, in favorof the Macs, who showed champion¬ship calibre. Anderson scintillatedfor the winners with seven basketsand a free throw and Goodman andKauffman made three buckets a piece.Divinity WinsIn the only other game, Divinitydefeated Hitchcock Hall, 17-4. TheDivinity squad played a more pol¬ished game than their opponents.They led at the half, 7-2 and heldthe lead throughout the remainder ofthe game.SENIORS AND JUNIORSVICTORS IN WOMEN’SINTER-CLASS GAMESThe women’s inter-elass basketballtournament started Saturday, Feb.6, when the Seniors won from theSophomores 26 to 22, and the Juniorsdefeated the Freshmen by the samescore. As Miss Alma Wylie, one ofthe gym instructors in charge of thegames, said, “It was a typical first-of-the-season game, with many faultsfrom everybody and little outstand¬ing playing. However, there is muchpromise for future development, andthe fact that the teams are so evenlymatched, as shown by the scores,promises much lively competition.”The next inter-class game comesat 3:45 Feb. 17, when the Juniorsw-ill play the Seniors and the Fresh¬men will meet the Sophomores. Bythat time there will probably be agreat advance in the playing of allthe teams.PATRONIZE THE DAILYMAROON ADVERTISERSA HIGH CLASSSERVICEREASONABLYPRICED.S.

I didnot enjoy the situation, despite youngAlonzo’s manifest cordiality. “Toomany pie a la modes,” I thought, “orwas it mailed milks?” Truly, I wasin bad shape, and I shuddered to thinkof those three long laps. Memoriesfrom my high school career as a 440-yard runner still hung over, and onthe whole they were painful. So. I didnot look forward to the race to comewith any excess of pleasure. 1 “stuck it out!” I guess it was theol' fight after all.EXIGENCIES of the last few dayshave prevented our answer to thestorm of juvenile jibes which GfcorgeMorgenstern, in his putrid, verbosestyle, has launched at our simplecriticism of the University chapelbuilding program. But now . . . nowthat we have the leisure to protestourself, we find it difficult to justifyour former stand. Morgenstern doeshave his occasional lucid periods.Chapels are necessary; George isright. We admire George—in thewords of Mark Twain, when his timecomes we are going to purchase apiece of the rope as a keepsake. TheUniversity needs more chapels—theymake prayers grow- on our chest!Our prosperous and pious alumni canfind room for another in the middleof the proposed stadium site—we cantear down Harper and squeeze in anadditional chapel—Cobb hall can ac¬commodate one on its roof. Aseparate chapel for each student;that is. for everyone but the Mor-genstern monstrosity—the State pro¬vides buildings for such as he. When at last we lined up to facethe starter’s gun, I felt. I tell youcandidly, a bit weak in the pins. Theold juice of life seemed to have runout some obscure tap in my vitals, andthe old dogs were just a bit cold. Iwas, as the boys so pithily put it.“weak in the poop.” To aggravate thesituation, some of my acquaintancesalong the sidelines were inclined tobe jocular; they wafted many jovialremarks in my direction until T couldstand up under it no longer. “Boy.” Tobserved, “this is no time for levity.”There Is But Little Difference Be¬tween Pathos and Humor!My dear Mr. Maurice:How could Prof. Woodward havethe heart to say that the Whistle canbe distinguished from the ordinaryprinted matter because it is funnierthan the rest of the paper.

As I rounded out these’cond lap, the cry went up from myside-line supporters. —“C’mon; the ol’fight!” Just what is “the o’ fight?" Ihaven’t ever been able to definitelydetermine. Anyway, the ol’ fightseemed to be on leave of absence asI wobbled around that last lap. It hadprobably snuck away from me andhid itself somewhere along the secondlap.
