---wrVol. 27. No. 73. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1927WHAT of IT?¥50PyCe MORCENSTEf^KIThe thought impresses itself onme more and more every day thatthe run of the human race is a ter¬ribly secretive, uncommunicative lot.I ride on the trains and see hordes0f crouched figures, their headsburied between their shoulders. Anewspaper cutting them off fromtheir fellows. As I walk around thecampus here every day there passby, one after another, the same grey,type figures, all with an utter lackof identify. Drab hats, drab coats,drab faces buried in collars, figuresbent low tutting through the wind.Every day the same thing. And,each time I pass them by—thesemass-production units of mankind(they are not individualities)—thesame thought comes to me; howlittle we know of one another! Afigure passes us by in the street andis gone. What do we know of it—of the thoughts it has, the life itleads? It is a blank to us, never tobe seen again. How transitory, in¬deed. are things. People (most ofthem) to an observer are but blanksin motion. Movement: they are notstatic. They will not hold still longenough for anyone to look themover, to examine them, to tell whatthey are and what they think.* * * *And this all, of course, is what isso terrible in being a columnist.Here I am, every day chained downin this eighteen inches of whitespace, laying open to the vulgar gazewhat I am and what I think. Therest of the world keeps on hurryingby, its individuality muffled and itspersonality secret. That is why theposition of anyone who writes, ortries to, is a horrible one, if you lookat it from this one angle. There aresouls like Henry Adams who sawtheir position, and instinctivelyfought to get out of it. They threwa mask over the face they turned tothe crowd. They kept themselvesinviolate from the peering eyes ofthe mob, even while they stood upon the platform in plain sight. Andthen, on the other side, there’sTheodore Dreiser, who exposed him¬self raw and quivering in his auto¬biography, “A Book About Myself.”We who have to stand on the plat¬form, whether it is a little one or abig one. choose from our nicer in¬stincts the mask of Henry Adams,rather than the candor of Dreiser.There is too much of a somethinglike the beggar showing his woundsin the “Book About Myself.” Ourbent is the other way. Almost un¬consciously we on the platform tryto shroud ourselves away and be¬come like the grey figures that hurryby, bent low in the wind.* * * *It is the plan of those who origi¬nated the idea of the Senior NightClub at the Coffee Shop to make thething a weekly occurence. Lastweek the Night Club was Thursdaynight; it will be repeated this Thurs¬day, and every one thereafter. Youwill recall that last week I madesome commendatory references inthis column to the idea of the NightClub. Indeed, I went so far as toput in an appearance at it, and evenurged some of my friends to comealong. Well, to one of my simplePoint of view, the Club was appall¬ing. It was the spirit of “college”and rah-rah rampant. It would nothave been so bad had the spirit ofthe place (a spirit which made some°f the so-called campus leaders actlike a bunch of Siwash hicks) notbeen so utterly hollow underneath.There was singing and roaring allfight, but the gin bottle under thetable, which would have been itssole excuse, wasn’t even there. Youcan go to the Senior Night Club ifyou so desire—I don’t. It has cometo an even worse end than the ill-fated Senior cane proposition. Atleast that didn’t seek to impress the“college” spirit on a place that wasnever made to be that way. CAMPUS TALENTPRODUCES SONGSOF MIRROR SHOWPoets of National and LocalFame Represented In“Here We Are”Mirror lyrics are in rehearsal nowand are the combined output of allsorts of campus poets, from those whohave won national poetry prizes andpublished in high-brow magazines andthose who have contributed quips andjests to the Whistle and the Phoenix.Opening greetings, ‘ Here We Are,”introduced by Betty Graham, presi¬dent and the tall show girls is largelyfrom the pen of George Gruskin ofWhistle fame, with catchy music byJerome Solomon.

GRAD IN CHINAWRITES OF WARDescribes Shanghai andCantonese ArmyAn interesting and first-hand ac¬count of the present struggle going onin China is given in a letter from Mrs.C. F. Chao, a former University stu¬dent at present living in Shanghai.Mrs. Chao said, among other things,that the conditions in Shanghai werenot at all bad and that there was prac¬tically no indication of the war inShanghai proper.The letter did, however, expressMrs. Chao’s opinion as to the probableresult of the war, saying that theSouthern forces appeared to have ev¬ery advantage, “And perhaps it wouldbe very well,” Mrs. Chao says, “be¬cause as a whole the Southerners aredistinctly more progressive and inde¬pendent than the Northerners andmight accordingly bring in a new driv¬ing force for progress.” The letter wasdated January 7.Wilner Talks OnRoman CosmeticsThe Romans depended as much oncosmetics to attain that “school-girlcomplexion” in classical times as wemodernists, according to Miss OrthaWilner of the Latin department whowill elaborate on that statement inher talk at a meeting of Eta SigmaPhi, undergraduate classical club,Thursday at 4:30 in Classics 20.

M. Hansen, associate director ofthe libraries announced that it wasfound among the books of the Divin¬ity library, awaiting recataloguing,rather than in Classics’ basement, asfirst announced. Tt has been in theDivinity library size 1892, thus beinga very early acquisition and not arecent discovery.BREASTED HAS RIVALA rival for Professor Breasted hasbeen discovered in H. T. Martin, as¬sistant curator of the museum of pale¬ontology at the University of Kan¬sas, who has spent forty-one years incollecting fossil remains of prehistoriclife.It is Dr. Martin’s delight to dig outcrumbling remains of ancient fauna,such as camel legs, rhinocerous ribs,and three-toed horses before the eyesof the astonished people living on theKansas prairies, is Mr. Martin’s de¬light. Besides the many mount ofclimbing animrls, Mr. Martin also hasspecimens of ancient flying replies. By Julian J. Jackson“To try to determine whether en¬vironment or heredity play the great¬est influence upon the evolution ofplant or animal is about as foolish asto decide which leg of a three leggedstool is most important,” states Dr.Merle Crowe Coulter, assistant pro¬fessor of botany, in commenting uponthis age-old enigma which Dr. HoratioHackett Newman, Dr. Frank N. Free¬man, and Dr. Karl J. Holzinger arenow in a joint study attempting tosolve.“Heredity and environment are com¬plementary factors in evolution,” con¬tinued Dr. Coulter. “They are hand¬maidens, for there is not a singlecharacter that does not require a giv¬en environment and heredity. This istrue of all characters of all organisms.”Coulter Proves HypothesisTo prove his hypothesis Dr. Coultercited the instance of the red flower.“A red flower requires not only anhereditary constitution but also sun¬light, a factor of environment. Itcould not be a flower without a certainhereditary constitution. If the flowerlacks sunlight, oh the other hand, itwould be white instead of red.”“To get closer home,” commentedDr. Coulter, “a person is intelligentas a result of heredity plus environ¬ment. A person lacking the hereditynecessary for intelligence is feeble¬minded. Likewise, a person who hashad no training, that is training be¬ing an environmental factor, will ap¬pear to be unintelligent.”Newman DisagreesDr. Horatio Hackett Newman, pro¬fessor of Zoology, believes that in cer¬tain instances one of these two factorsof evolution can be listed as the mostimportant. He is of the opinion thatDr. Coulter’s statement is open formodification. ‘*111According to Dr. Coulter, if one ofthese factors is constant and the otheris variable, scientist are often led inbelieving that the latter is the mostimportant.Add One Week ToY.

The preparation consists of attendance at two Coun¬cil meetings and service on the various committees which carryforward the Council’s projects. At the end of the term the Councilaccepts or rejects the candidate’s petition that he be placed on theballot, according to the qualifications he has displayed during thepreparatory work.New ideas in the conduct of undergraduate activities arerare. This new idea is sound, and its application should be ex¬tended to other phases of undergraduate life. General electionsby the student body are tests of popularity or political general¬ship rather than of adequacy to fill the particular office.The most obvious.argument against the Council’s new policy isthat such a selective system checks popular control of the under¬graduate legislature. By virtue of its veto of candidacy the Coun¬cil becomes potentially a self perpetuating body; a corrupt or un¬democratic regime might result in making the Council a virtualhonor society, all powerful, and assured of the continued domi¬nance of a particular clique. But anyone who is familiar with theideals and the personnel of these Council, as they are, knows thatthe student solons are neither corrupt nor undemocratic.The concrete advantages which the new plan offers easilyoutweigh any tenuous and theoretical objections. Some of themore obvious; can be set out.1. The weeding out of the mediocre and unfit will assure thecampus of a better Council. Popular elections can not be de¬pended upon to perform this service.2. Those who are eventually elected will have had six weeksof experience in handling the work for which they will later besolely responsible. Those who are not elected in the general elec¬tion held at the end of the probationary period will have had allinsight into the workings of the Council and will be more service¬able in the whole life of the University as a result. Those whofind the work uninteresting will know in time to withdraw fromthe race.3. The Council itself will get more work done. The prospec¬tive candidates will not be asked to do merely detail work but willbe thrown on their own resources, and, for the most part, be ex¬pected t ohave some originality in carrying out the work to whichthey are appointed.The Daily Maroon believes that such a system could be ex¬tended to other elective offices. In the major activities such asthe Daily Maroon, the Cap and Gown and the Intramural Depart¬ment a man must clearly prove his ability to handle a job beforehe is finally chosen. But members-at-large of the UndergraduateCouncil, members of the Honor Commission and class officers areelected for reasons which are irrelevant to the Council, the Com¬mission and the office.The practical task which the Council will be forced to facewill be the hesitancy of candidates to indicate their intentions solong before the election itself. The Daily Maroon urges anyonewho feels that he has a live interest in the Council’s business, andany ability at all, to have no hesitation in declaring himself, evenif his chances of election seem dubious. Six weeks and the back¬ing of the Council will work wonders for those who do well. In BriefBy Dexter W. MastersAffairs in China continue to moveapace, with a stronger and strongercurrent of deep-rooted animosityshowing itself in the actions of theChinese. No so much animosity to¬wards each other as at first, andmuch more towards Great Britain,America, and Germany.Yesterday, a series of rebellionsagainst the foreigners, culminatedin a direct thrust at America. ’ Thetreasurer and a doctor of Yale inChina college were imprisoned, and,in a series of minor disorders, prop¬erty belonging to British and Ameri¬can firms was looted. And yet theforeign minister, of the northerngovernment within three hours ofthese actions, protested against theBritish sending ships to China as“contrary to the spirit of the leagueof nations covenant.” The British,to their credit, scoffed at the de¬mands.Austen Chamberlain’s statementthat Great Britain was more thanready to meet China “more thanhalfway,” despite its childish pugni-city, has been received with enthu¬siasm and shows that the govern¬ment’s aggressive actions have thegood-will of the people at least.* * *Last night at midnight, the fran¬chise of the Chicago Surface Linesexpired, and the grant issued to thecompanies twenty years ago is nowno more. The furor anticipatedwhen this franchise should stop, willnot materialize, and to the casualeye, things will be about as usual.The transportation committee,while not strictly adverse to votingon one of the numerous franchisesproposed, has at least felt otherwiseinclined for the past six months and,if the state legislature doesn’t takesome action on the situation andprovide Chicago with a dependablemethod of transportation probably,will for the next six months.The cars are running on a day-to-day franchise now which, however,has a time limit of only six months.The numerous plans before thecouncil of the city should be siftedthrough by that time and perhaps Chicago might even have » subway.* * *General Lincoln C. Andrews, highcommissioner of dryness in theUnited States, started on its careeryesterday an “exhaustive war”against illicit sale of liquor, illicitdrinking of liquor, and in fact any¬thing illicit and wet. These cam¬paigns of General Andrews havenever achieved any admirable mea¬sure of success in the past, and therehave been many of them, but theone started yesterday seems verymuch more comprehensive than itspredecessors.To start with, General Andrewsseems actually to know some of theconditions that exists in the countryin regard to his chosen field, and inthe second place, he seems to he us¬ing a rather less ridiculous modethan ever before. He admits blanklythat he will use undercover agentsand, as long as they do not “encour¬age, trap or entice” the bootleggers,he admits that is perfectly justifiableto do so.Congress, either through extreme¬ly altruistic or extremely selfishmotives, is attempting to force thepresident into calling an extra ses¬sion. To that end, the proponentsof the farm legislation bill now be¬ing discussed are holding that billover his head and, as a veto wouldmean nothing at this late hour ifthe bill were to be passed, are at¬tempting to put it through and getthe extra session. Incidentally theywish to pass the bill for the bill’ssake.A reason so obvious as to makeany patriotic thoughts seem slightlyimprobable, is that the congressmanhave no desire for an extra sessionduring the Washington summer heatand, since the amount of work to bedone makes one almost inevitable,they would prefer it now. And,after all, who would blame them?AN INVITATIONis extended to all Universitystudents to dine atANNA LYON’S TEA SHOPDelicious Homecooking at reason-* able prices.1449 E. 57th STREET•ernst-ram•5609 HARPER-WEI-• FftONt; WDE-PflRtV8262-•m*moio6Rflpncf\-MAY POWERS MILLERTeacher of PianoSTUDIOS 1810 W. 103rd StBeverly 60091352 E. 55th StreetHyde Park 0950My I^emingtoi) Portabledoes all the work^ I'HE Remington Portable is almosthuman in its adaptability to yourproblems.

We cocked our editorialear, tilted our equally editorial eye¬brow and allowed the acid youngtwirp to relieve himself of his causticburden.“You and vour editorials are a lotof cow fodder he began. Why don’tyou say something—why don't you at¬tack, destroy, reveal the truth aboutthings?” he began. And when we dar¬ed slyly asked him what he would,perchance, lay his long lean finger ofcondemnation upon, he said: “Any¬thing and everything—everything iswrong. Take co-education, or betteryet that gross imposter—fraternity!”And when we again chanced to askhim what he found flase in the collegebrotherhood ideal, he said: “Every¬thing. Name me one thing about itthat is sound socially, commercially,economically, ethically or psychologi¬cally. It eats up time like a lazy Car¬nivora on a rat infested meadow. It ispythianism running rampant andamock. It is the ideal of the LoyalOrder of Moose groomed and nursedin the pseudo-intellectual collegiatehot-house. That is what college willdo to any ‘spirit of the Rotary’ that exists in the outlying province of thesemi-intelligent proletariot. Instead ofcasting aside this infantile brotherhoodcomplex as a childish sentiment, it h mtaken it over ritual and all and incor!porated it into a system that is ascommon and mediocre as a social circle in Kewanee, Indiana, except thatit has a veneer of the Universitas Chi-cagenis. You join a fraternity; yourfirst year you are stupid enough tothink that it radiates with some etherial social value; you eat there, sleepthere; think there; talk there, and ifyou ever want to slip away from theblare of it all you find you are stillobliged to pay an average of $15 amonth for the beauty of the idealYou have to revel .n that beauty aslong as you are in college.

It putschildish desire in a glass case, strapsit on your back, and you have to goniamby pampying it across the educa¬tional arena with that asinine burdenhanging to your back.

SCOTT, Jr.Lawrence, Kansas. — The Uni¬versity of Kansas, situated as it is,atop the highest apex of Mount Oread,offers a somewhat dreaded problem tothe thousands of perplexed parentswho every year wonder about theplace of higher learning to which theyshould send their equally perplexedoffspring.The most important question whichthey seek to solve is the one relativet0 the evils, sins, and temptation!which constantly surround the easilybeguiled students at the state’s largestschool.“They are so close to that naughtyKansas City that I just know my Johnwill spend all his time there,” wailsMrs. Mother-of-a-Prospective-Future-K. U.-Alumnus.“And those dreadful boys that earntheir way through school selling liquorto their fraternity brothers,” adds Mrs.\ever-Had-A-Son-Go-To-College.And those shameless hussies thatlive in sorority houses and smoke cig¬arettes and spoon in the park, andtake automobile rides at night .”All these thoughts, and many others,assail the fond parents in our Sun¬flower State. Who puts the ideas intotheir heads, no one knows.Ignorance, that enemy of all truth,should be held responsible for much.Mrs. Mother-of-a-Prospective-Future*K. U.-Alumnus also does not knowthat classes are held each day in thebuildings provided, for that purpose atLawrence, rather than at the HotelMuelbach in Kansas City.Mrs. Never-Had-A-Son-Go-To-Col-lege does not know that there is nototic boy in three hundred who evenhas enough money ahead at one timeto set in a stock of liquor for frater¬nity patronage.The rather tall, slender lady with theambitious ears and equally ambitiouslack of knowledge should be informedof the fact that at Kansas, every Sor¬ority has a house rule which prohib¬its smoking within the confines of thebuilding.

EVERYONE GOESTO COLLEGE INRUSSIA, REPORTNine Years of Soviet RuleHas Been Good,/ Heads SayAlmost everyone in Russia is goingto school. That is the impression giv¬en by a recent bulletin of the Societyfor Cultural Relations, published inMoscow. A review’ of the nine yearsof Soviet rule reveals the monstrousstrides made in educating the Russiansof all ages, from cradle to grave.There is, first of all, the educationof childreb before they are of schoolage. Compulsory education for allRussian children by 1933—that is theprogram of the Peoples Commissariatof Education. A detailed system ofeducation has been completed, begin¬ning with the pre-school institutions—children’s playgrounds, kindergartens,etc.—and continuing through primafyand secondary school terms of 7 or9 years. On January 1, 1926, therewere already 1,146 pre-school institu¬tions, including many children’s play¬grounds in the villages.Increase In HigherIn the field of higher education,pedagogical institutions have shownthe greatest increase. Formerly therewere only three, while now there arethirty-eight of these training colleges.There has also appeared a brand newtype of institution—the CommunistUniversity. Students are now prepar¬ed for the universities not only by sec¬ondary schools and colleges but alsoby Workers Faculties (Rab-faks). Bymeans of these Workers Faculties theway to education is opened for work¬ers and peasants. In 1925 there wereMaking Progress In SchoolCalls for a sturdy well nourished body.

Thismeans that a man must keep on the alert to know and under¬stand what is happening. It is a stimulating requirement, thatkeeps one out of mental ruts and stagnation.The bond business requires hard work and rewards thosewho give it. There is perhaps no more broadening business—none that offers better opportunity for gaining a comprehensivebusiness education. Many fall short of substantial success inthe bond business through their own fault —not because theopportunity is lacking.Halsey, Stuart & Co. is interested in providing reliableinformation to college men who are considering the bond busi¬ness as a vocation-to help them make an intelligent decision.We shall be glad to send you our pamphlet f'’The Bor.dBusiness as a Vocation for College Men.” Ask for pamphlet cmlHALSEY, STUART & CO.INCORPORATEDCHICAGO NEW YORK PHILADELPHIA DETROIT CLEVELANDioi S.

Undergrad Flays “Hell Week ”Alive With Scathing ArgumentPerhaps the most disgusting con¬tour of the whole collegiate social sys¬tem today is hazing. This age-old sub¬ject was fought out years ago. Fora while it subsided after several fa¬mous “murders-in-sport” had beencommitted. Today there is not the oldhe-man kind of hazing that formerlyexisted.In most Universities, and at theUniversity of Chicago in particular,the “razzing” of the freshmen is con¬fined almost solely to the fraternity.Carefully implanted in the blood of ev¬ery so-tailed ‘ good fraternity man” isthe conception that in order for a froshto be introduced to the secrets of the“eating club” he must first go througha probation period earmarked with allthe mental and physical tortures ofhell itself. How befitting is the mon¬iker—“hell week.”The most individual of adolescentyouths are forced into utter subjuga¬tion. They are given an anti-toxinagainst any spark of individualismthat might lurk in their personalities.Not to mention the physical illogical¬ity of hell week (for we admit there islittle actual physical harm done) themental attitude of a youngster fresh¬man is diseased by the sheer “low¬ness” and insignificance of his posi¬tion.Name over any possible good thathell week might do. The first thingthat pops from the mind of the frater¬ nising Babbitry is such statements as“we can’t have cocky freshmen. It’salways been done. Upper classmendeserve some fun and the realizationof some dognity.” But that is all sheervanity and bunk. “Hell week,” agrotesque hang-over from the primi¬tive college days when every Greekhad a keg of beer in the corner ofhis room. How much more beneficentit would have been to have clung tothat tradition instead of this barbarous,unsympathetic, inhuman, ridiculoushabit of making a hopeful yearlingfeel like a mere transparent atom inthe whirl of college.Think of the harm it does. In not¬ing this we must, of course, take intoconsideration temperament. That issomething that a fraternity never does.An anemic freshman descendent of along line of Methodist ministers is giv¬en the same kind of treatment that abullnecked young buck who boasts oftwenty bricklayers in his immediategenealogy gets. The bashful yearlingwho has always been impaled on thepin of a consuming inferiority com¬plex is treated with the same brittlebrashness that a military academystudent with a plate-metal chest finds.It is the complete inconsistency, thecareless overlooking of temperamentthat makes “hell week” a gross im¬postor in the scholastic curriculum.CAMPUS TALENT KAPLAN LAUGHS ATPRODUCES LYRICS IDEA OF ATHLETICSOF MIRROR SHOW DOMINATING COLLEGE(Continued from page 1)lege Girl, music by Ted Kohler.

As to players being assisted through school, the only assis¬tance that a man at Chicago can getis through his fraternity, where hemay be given a house job to help paypart of the bill, but there are noscholarships or other boosts fromalumni or faculty. Alumni of allschools, it is true, give dinners forhigh school athletes, but that is justa means of telling them of the gloriesof the dear old alma mater and isperfectly legitimate.”TOWER63BD AND BLACKSTONEO'dphsAAjnv (SaaouJc,VAUDEVILLE^4ND THE BE5TFEATUREPHOTOPLAYSComplete ChangeOf Program EverySunday & ThursdayBARGAINMATINEES DAILY'S?JUST THE PLACE TO SPENDAN AFTERNOON OR EVENINGHOTEL DEL PRADO§9th at Blackstone AvenueBARBER SHOPW.

Included in the laterare pictures of astronomical instru¬ments, actually used by King Tut.Alumni NotifiedThe first official ‘notice to the Alum¬ni of the “Mirror” association is tobe made in the form of a letter, ex- A few days ago there appeared inthe editorial column of The DailyMaroon, the announcement of apolitical mass meeting for the pur¬pose of obtaining the student’s view¬point on the Mexican situation. Thefact was deplored that all power hasbeen removed from the hands of themodern university student, who’sopinion are scoffed at by our publicofficials.The mass meeting has come andgone. A brief review of the pro¬ceedings will clear up any doubt asto why student views are given suchmild consideration.The meeting was opened with a lec¬ture by Dr. Herring; his views weredefinite, reasonable, and well pre¬sented in the manner typical of onewho has had a personal contact withthe question. However, no soonerhad the Doctor finished than an ex¬cited individual jumped to his feetshouting praises to the speaker, de¬manding a resolution from theplaining the workings' of the organiza¬tion. There is also to be a picture ofRuth Burtis, business manager. Alongwith this, is an account of the new ad¬venture of the University in broad-uO a’clock class by radio.This is the course entitled "Aspectsof American Life,” which includes lit¬erature, society and science.Two new authors are to make theirappearance, one being George Morgen-stern. who is to edit the athletic de¬partment, and the other, B. J. Green,who is writing a column entitled“News of the Quadrangle.’’ audience declaring themselves op¬posed to the attitude of the U. Sgovernment, and demanding that acopy of the said resolution be sentto the newspapers and the leadingofficials. A vote was immediatelytaken, beginning with a feeble “aye”in the back of the hall the assentingvote grew into shout for this hu¬manitarian issue. Not a dissentingsound was heard. Could it be pos¬sible that 300 students had beenswept off their feet by the views ofone man? After giving its opinionthe audience began to ask questionsand find minor defects with thespeakers ideas. Is it the student’susual custom to pass judgment andthen begin a half-hearted investiga¬tion? Within five minutes the dis¬cussion had turned into other chan¬nels: was it two or three priests wholed Mexico to her early freedom?Details! Men stood on the floorhurling statistics, dates, and namesat one another. Fundamentals wereforgotten in the attempt to proveminor questions and display “can¬ned” knowledge. The amassing of ahost of relatively unimportant factsseemed to be the sole effect of yearsof education. To an undergraduateit is clear why the student’s politicalvoice is losing the little power it nowholds. —C. S.

This is reallya great achievement in that Minnesotais the best team in the country andwas predicted to win the meet with apractically white washed score.Out of the eight athletic contestsheld over the week-end, the Maroonsemerged victorious four times. Notbad, not bad. The most promisingshowings were those made by thetrack team which overwhelmed theHoosiers the cage team, which “al¬most” beat the title-touted Indianaquintet, the gym team, which addedtwo more wins to its long, long list,and the swim team which held theworld renowned Gopher outfit to a40-29 score.* * •*Optimism runs high for the comingengagements. With the Norgrenitesplaying on their own floor they havea good chance to reverse the decisionon the Hoosier five which barely beatthem out by a 28-23 count in thegame at Bloomington. The Chicago Gym and FencingTeams spent a profitable week-end,invading Ohio Weslyan and OhioState. The Maroon fencers split, de¬feating Weslyan and losing to theBuckeye aggregation. Coach Hoffer’sacrobats started their annual drive to¬ward the national championship byannexing both meets, one of which wasa conference victory. The Maroongymnasts defeated their opponentseasily, capturing every first place inboth meets. The team looked verygood and gave Hoffer the encourage¬ment he deserves for his hard work.In the Ohio State Meet Capt. Dav¬idson took firsts in the horizontalbars, rings, and tumbling. Flexnerwas first in the parallels and secondin the horizontal; Nelson capturedfirst in the horse and second in theparallels; Quinn took seconds in tum¬bling and the horse.
