Prominent wo¬men selected asUshers for “HereWe Are.”Vol. 27. No. 79. Assistant Re¬corder Gurney ex¬plains delay inFraternity gradingreports.UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1927WHAT OFIT?fy&otgeMngenstemHutfhie Fullerton, Liberty’s white-hairetl boy who experts on every¬thing there is to expert on, andfrequently even when there ain’t,has bobbed up with another one fitfor the books. This time Mr. Fuller¬ton conceived the idea of running aranking of the best football coachesof the land for the edification of thereaders of the Five-Cent Weekly. Inthat list, he ranks Amos AlonzoStagg No. 12. There is something inthat which, if the thing weren’t sohowlingly funny on the face of it,would verge on the tragic. Here isMr. Fullerton, a thin-haired, angulargentleman with no great deal ofjudgment on one side, and the OldMan, who has forgotten (or passedon to Lonny) more football than Mr.Fullerton ever dreamed about, onthe other. And here is Mr. Fullertontrying to tell the Old Man a fewthings about football, and puttingthe Old Man after eleven others in aranking that is supposed to representthe greatest coaches of the land inthe order of their ability. It is anodd paradox.* * * *Mr. Fullerton, you know, is thefellow who predicts, before each sea¬son, how the big league ball racesare to come out that year. Mr. Ful¬lerton bases his predictions on fig¬ures—certain mysterious calculationswhich he, of all the world, alone un¬derstands. Mr. Fullerton also tellsyou (if you will simply hand over anickel to the corner newsdealer foryour Liberty) how the World Seriesis going to come out every year. Heuses his mysterious mathematicalmethod again in this instance. Again,invariably, his results are as odd ashis predictions on the league races.It seems a safe axiom to look andsee how Mr. Fullerton has dopedthings out, and then put your buckson the other colt’s nose.* * * *Mr. Fullerton’s mysterious mathe¬matical method is interesting. 1know how he works it in dopingbaseball affairs, and it occurs to methat perhaps again in this footballcoaches affair he has arrived at hisconclusions by the Logical Law ofLogarithms. Certainly his findingsare odd enough to warrant the as¬sumption. In the World Series cal¬culations (to show the peculiarmethod by which Mr. Fullerton ar¬rives at his Ultimate Truths), if theSt. Louis Browns were playing the< ubs for the pennant (a very hy¬pothetical case indeed). Mr. Fuller¬ton would first consider first base.He would discover that Sisler’s defen¬sive ability rating would be 991.7and his offensive strength 969.357,as against 971.09 and 889.718 for< harley Grimm of the Cubs. So thefigures, you see, give St. Louis adear advantage. Mr. Fullerton doesthe same thing for the rest of theplayers on each team, averages inEddie Cantor and the town half-wit,figures the home floor advantage,boils a coat’s tail in the caldron, andcomes to bat with his decision^* * * *It may be that this was the meth-"i Mr. Fullerton employed in reach¬ing the conclusion that Mr. Stagg>s the twelfth best coach in this land.Again, there is the picture I have ofMr. Fullerton at the National OpenLolf tournament at Skokie in 1922.()n that occasion, Mr. Fullerton blos¬somed out in buff knickers, lemonsox> a hunting jacket and a pinkfoulard tie. There were some whothought at the time that Mr. Ful¬lerton must have been in a swim¬ming state, and I was of their num-^er- I wonder if Mr. Fullerton hadhis buff knickers when he dis¬covered that eleven other fellowswere better coaches than Mr. Stagg.

LGURNEYSays Halt Is Due to Lackof Fraternity Co¬operationAn* explanation of the delay inissuing fraternity standings is offer¬ed in the following open letter tothe fraternities, issued by the Re¬corder’s office.1. A considerable amount of impa¬tience was manifested by many mem¬bers of fraternities and many anxi¬ous pledges at the delay in report¬ing by the Recorder’s Office on theeligibility of pledges and the generalfraternity standings. It should be un¬derstood, however, that the regularwork of the office necessarily takesprecedence over everything else, andthat this work is especially pressingfor many weeks after the close ofthe quarter. Also, since the whole¬some rule went into effect that inorder for a fraternity to be free toinitiate, its members as a group andalso its members and pledges togeth¬er as a group must have an averageup to par, we cannot report on eli¬gibility until both lists have beencarefully inspected.But it must be said with emphasisthat there is also an increased delaybecause the fraternities do not co¬operate with this office. This is nottrue of all; there are a few whichare prompt, careful and businesslikein sending in their lists. But it isand always has been true of manyothers.

It has been denounced and cater¬wauled, abandoned only to grasped up again as a plausible wayto help the freshman get into the fraternity best adopted to histemperament.True, it has its bad points along with its good. Its advo¬cates say it gives the freshman not only an opportunity to knowthe fraternities as so many agglutinations of personalities but alsoto decide whether or not he wants to cast his lot with the Pythiansat all. And then there is the usual vice versa about the fratern¬ities getting an opportunity to look the freshman over as a pros¬pective brother in holy bonds.On the other hand its opponents point to the danger ofillegal rushing and to the fact that the new system will tend tocut the throats of the so-called “weaker” eating clubs, and thatit will embellish the “strong” with the “best men” and leave thelesser fraternities like so many jewelless engagement rings.The Daily Maroon advocates deferred rushing. The benefitsoutweigh the difficulties. If adopted, the plan would do awaywith the pot-boiling and jowl-driveling which characterize arushing season at the Universitaatis Chicaginiensis. It would meana safe and sane season in which freshmen with winsome smilesand sufficient means would not literally be seduced by passionateGreeks bursting with the beauty of the Brotherly Ideal.THE BUREAU OF RECORDSMR. GURNEY, Assistant Recorder of the University, has an¬swered the criticisms of fraternity men ably and thoroughlyin an open letter to the fraternities published in today’s editionof The Daily Maroon.Undergraduates, arriving as many of them are, at the self-confident stage where criticism of the administration of the schoolis a new and dear privilege, too often overdo the business and loseall sympathy with the problems of the men who make the uni¬versity’s decisions. In this instance, the fraternities, chafing toget their intiatons under way, attacked the Bureau of Records forits apparent delay in preparing fraternity eligibility lists. Theyrefused to look at the Bureaus problems from the larger view¬point of the whole University. They failed, in many particulars,properly to cooperate with the Bureau for the better interests ofboth.Among men who know, it is the consensus of opinion thatfhe Bureau of Records at the University of Chicago is a highlyefficient organization.

The Buck¬eye tilt will be Purdue’s second roadgame of the conference season. Pur¬due’s floor ,'work was nothing toboast about against the Baptist five,but it overcame this handicap bysome excellent basket shootingtoward the development of a smooth¬er working offense and tighter de¬fensive playing.The Buckeyes were tumbled in onegame played at Purdue this season,but only after a hard scrap, andCoach Lambert’s five is approachingthe Saturday night engagement ex¬pecting opposition from the start.Ohio on its home floor has alwaysbeen a difficult team for the Boiler¬makers to subdue and despite sev¬eral setbacks recently, the Buckswill no doubt be prepared for a hardfought game.Loren Hodges, former Shelbyvillehigh school star, made his universitydebut against Franklin and showspromise of adding to' the strength ofCoach Lambert’s squad. Linkamer,the Michigan City youth who hasbeen understudying “Cotton” Wil¬cox at floor guard, also worked toadvantage against Franklin. Linka-mer’s clever foot work and handlingof the ball has made him a greatfavorite with Purdue fans, and hehas shown improvement with eachappearance.Close on the heels of the Ohiogame will come the important contestwith Michigan in Memorial gymnisi-um next Tuesday night. Memorialgymnasium’s facilities are entirelyinadequate to take care of thecrowd that desires to see the Boil¬ermakers and the Wolverines hookup.

We ask for the fullname in every case; the names comein most any form, nicknames insteadof real names, middle names alonginstead of first and middle, a singleinitial only when there are three orfour men in college with the samename and initial, etc., etc.2. It has come to my attentionthat some fraternities have taken thepersonal report cards issued by theRecorder’s Office as a basis for in¬itiation. This is wholly unwarranted.The fraternities are authorized toinitiate only on official report of eli¬gibility from this office.3. To my mind it is a serious in¬dictment against the fraternities thatso many of them are down so nearPar, so near the ragged edge that wemust watch the last fraction of agrade point to determine whetherthey are free to initiate. If theywere up to where they ought to beso that for a fraternity to fall belowpar would be a practically unheardof thing there would be no need ofsuch a rule and reports on eligibilitycould be made much earlier.

They oughtto average higher. Yes, I understandthat they are social groups ratherthan scholastic, but they are socialgroups of students and not of meremerry-makers. The association ofthese men together ought to promotein all ways the serious work forwhich they are supposed to havecome to college. Then the purelysocial side of college life, both for¬mal and incidental, would have amore worthy basis and be more sat¬isfactory in itsef.4.Incidentally, let me call atten¬tion to the far better grades madeby the woinen’s clubs. The Daily Ma¬roon did not publish the averagesof either group, but only the orderof standing. But as a matter of factthe women were way ahead of themen. Of the thirty-two fraternitiesonly one averaged as high as B-,and that was a rarity. Of the thir¬teen women’s clubs, five averagedB-, and those which averaged C weredecidedly higher in the fractions of agrade point above the C’s of the frat¬ernities. I am not going to delivera homily on this fact, but I do calltl^1 attention of the fraternities to it.I remain,Cordially, sympathetically and sin¬cerely yours,F. J.

The Maroons will haveto put forth feverything they have,for the Wolverines are bringing asquad second only to the renownedMinnesota outfit.Michigan, unusually balanced inevery department; in the opinion ofmany, could outsplash the Go¬phers. As Chicago made a verygood showing against Minnesota, thesquad stands a good chance of cop¬ping.Capt. Samson is the outstandingluminary on the invading team andshould give the onlookers a sight ofsome real speed. Already famous forrecently setting a new inter-collegi¬ate mark in the 440, he intends toring up a new record in the short-tank swim at the same distance.Chicago’s hopes are centered inthe 160 yard relay, breast-stroke,back-stroke and diving. Capt. Noyes,anchorman on the relay team, shouldcome through in the diving. Themedley relay, is also a possible win.Oker, Moigdal, and Baumruckerwill have a good chance to place.Although the meet is not on the“C” books, Coach MacGillivray an¬nounces that they may be used tosecure admission.50c WAVESSaturday 75cLICENSED OPERATORSKENNEDY SHOPS1455 E. 63rd St. 6351 Cottage Grove Ave.Dorchester 3755 Plaza 1060-10615226 Harper Ave.Hyde Park 2408rHYDE PARK.

M.Show ContinuousFrom 2CHANGE OFPROGRAMFRIDAY By Vic Roteru*Although the major sports at thisinstitution are not, it might be said,in the midst of flourishing seasons,Coaches McGillivray and Hofferhave, in some hidden nooks of Bart¬lett, two outfits that destined tomake up history for Maroon athleticsthis season. They ai’e, namely, thewater polo and the gym teams, neith¬er of which has yet been defeated—.the water polo team this season, thegym team, Lord knows when.Both will go through their pacesSaturday against conference opposi¬tion. The water polo team will hob¬nob with the crack Michigan sevenin the local pond in a game whichwill have considerable bearing on thechampionship, while the turners willtumble at Illinois in a meet which,so far as the result is concerned, isalready over.And it is quite safe, though earlyin the season, to concede the BigTen title to Coach Dan Hoffer andhis merry-mad gang. Just now, thegym team is better than it was lastyear when it won the conferenceand national inter-collegiate cham¬pionships. The only loss they suf¬fered by graduation last spring wasConnor, the tumbler with a person*ality who was a national champion inthis event. The rest of the team isintact. Reading from left and rightthey are: Captain Davidson, ex-cap¬tain Quinn, Flexner, Nelson, McRoy,Collins, Weaver and Benson—each apast master in his special evyit.To save postage on the cup, pre¬sumably the conference gym meetwill be held in Bartlett this year,March 12. Before that time the fans will have a chance to see theperfect and really fascinating man¬euvers of these artists on the rings,parallels, horse and mat during theWisconsin and Purdue meets hereFeb. 26 and March 2. It is worththe expedition to the gym to seethem, let us assure you.The polo team, which finished sec¬ond to Illinois in the conference lastyear because of a few unfortunatebreaks, has plenty of excitementahead of it before it can presentclear claim to the Big Ten title. Theywill have to dump Michigan, Satur¬day and Illinois later on, and neitherof thesetwo teams are in the habitof being dumped. The boys who areputting the sea in Chicago are:Greenberg, Howe, Rittenhouse, Oker,forwards; Krogh, White, Gordon,guards; Hall, goalie. Hall is recog¬nized as the best goalie in the con¬ference, while Howe is pretty slickas a shot.I-M CAGE QUINTETSPLAY AGAIN TONIGHT“A” LeagueBurton Club vs. Sigma Club.Psi Upsilon vs. Tekes.Delta Sig vs. Lambda Chi.“B” LeagueDelta Sig vs. Kappa Nu.Beta Theta Pi vs. Macs.Burton vs. Delta Chi.The Frolic TheatreDRUG STOREAdjacent to Frolic TheatreCigarettes Fountain ServiceTel.
