Thismargin, known as “return” or “net railwayoperating income,” should be large enough totake care of current capital expenses, such asrent of leased lines interest and dividends, besidesproviding, if possible, a surplus for reinvestmentin the property. Although this item of return isone of the smallest that comes out of a railroad’soperating revenues, it is the most important, forit is the one which assures the continuance ofservice.The government, besides regulating railwayrates, also attempts to regulate return. This endis sought, under the present law by fixing the re¬lationship which the margin of income above ex¬penses and taxes shall be allowed to bear to someconsistent measurement of the value of railwayproperty—in this case, the current valuation ofrailway property as determined by the InterstateCommerce Commission. The relationship atpresent prescribed is 5%, per cent. There is nominimum below which earnings may not fall,hence there is no guaranty; but there is a maxi¬mum of 6 per cent, above which point excessearnings of an individual road must be dividedwith the government.In the eight yers since the enactment of thepresent Transportation Act, railway earningssubject to recapture have been negligible, whilethe railroads as a whole have lacked approxi¬mately $1,500,000,000 of earning the fair returnto which the Interstate Commerce Commissionhas held they are entitled.The basis for the rate of return at presentprescribed is a tentative valuation estimate thatwas made by the Interstate Commerce Commis¬sion eight years ago as brought up to date fromyear to year by the addition of the money in¬vested since then in property improvements. Thework of arriving at a final valuation figure hasbeen in progress for fifteen years and has costto date more than $130,000,000, of which the rail-pads have paid more than $100,000,000, and itis rfbt yet complete.Other measures of railway value, not to beconfused with the one described above, are theroads’ own rpords of the amounts actually in¬vested in their properties, the par value and themarket value of their stocks and bonds and thepst of reproduction less depreciation, if any.These five values have no essential relationshipto one another, but railway men expect that thegovernment's final valuation figures will closelyapproach if not equal the roads’ own figures ofproperty investment and that both will exceed bya considerable margin—as the latter now does—the par value of their stocks and bonds.Constructive criticism and suggestions areinvited.L.

Rolvaag, Norwegian-Amer-ican novelist, has tried to prove theindispensable tohuman existence by stating that onemay live without banks and bakeries,clothing-stores and shoe-stores andeven, without music and paintingand sculpture, but never withoutbooks. For he feels that literatureis life, life condensed, life intensi¬fied. As life makes books, they inturn make life. The books of to¬day shape the life of the man of to¬morrow more definitely than anyi other force.Yes, all very true, from Mr. Rol-able significance because of its interest j vaag’s point of view. His opinionsin literary experiments and novelty, j are justifiable if one does not con-It is the first to bring out James j sider the most of the stuff which isJoyce’s latest novel, part of whichhas been recently published in NewYork (cost $15.00). It also has beenenthusiastic for Ernest Hemingway,Gertrude Stein, Malcolm Cowley, HartCrane and others. It is one of thefew magazines in this country to pub¬lish articles on Surrealism, the latestism to shake Paris with manifestoes.To have this magazine on its shelves,is praiseworthy. There are other coming off the press today.The cancerous lives of families indiseased relationships with a diseasedkind of society is pictured for us tobelieve. If books make life, are weto imitate the lives pictured in “TheClosed Garden,’’ in “The Children,’’in“Dusty Anwser?’’ How does thefact that a girl loses her mind, orthat a man forty years of age be¬comes wiser and sadder after he hasmagazines too, such as The Birth | fallen in love with a fourteen-year-Control Review, the New Masses, and j stimulate us to follow suit, or; conversely ,to take warning? I don’tthat “The Children’’ Isabella 'Paves, herself a favoritepupil of Mr. De Voto at the Uni¬versity, defends the men of North¬western in a replying piece: “Ofcourse there are some wet smacksamong the bunch. But I don’t be¬lieve the percentage is any higherthan it is at other colleges. Thetrouble is that Northwestern co-edsoutnumber the men three to one.With such a scarcity of good datingmaterial, when the girl who has hadher high school moments arrives atNorthwestern and discovers thatthere are hundreds of other littlegirls with smoother lines and betterlegs and bluer eyes waiting for promdates she has just one solution. Sheorganizes a Down-on-Northwestern-Men Club, pays her own street carfare, and starts broadcasting. Sim¬ple, isn’t it? The men are maligned;the girls are overrated. It’s a queersituation.’’Road’s End Reviewed by Iris GoodmanPlaying at the Goodman TheatreIf every person who talked aboutseeing Dear Brutus would buy oneticket for the performance the showwould stay here for a good long time,according to Mr. Donaghey of theChicago Tribune in his very compli¬mentary review written to make thedeadlines of the paper the morningafter the night before. We sound thegrand “aye” of a person who under¬stands the reason for the remark.Dear Brutiis should be kept here forweeks and weeks. It is a corking goodplay.Dear Brutus is of the Freudianpsychological type; that is, it is aboutpeople who look into the past and seethemselves as they might have been.The plot is only a very airy, light,pleasing and skillful contrivance forconveying this idea. Institute ExhibitsBerber PaintingsI.ob is the wise old man who plansand dreams of showing people theirreal past selves rather than as theirpresent rationalized selves. The peoplewho make their entrance into thedream world (which is a wood thatappears on Midsummer’s Night Eve)have been brought together for thispurpose, the whim of the wizened, oldman who seems to be childish butwho in reality is a sage.And I have come thus far in search ofyou, finding onlyA black udnd out of a bag,A grey sun, and a dark bird screamingIts tcay through the fog.I might extend this laudation for j suppose mat "me uniidren” wasseveral pages, but my purpose is j written with a moral straw runningotherwise. I can think of at least ; through its weave.twenty periodicals, or quarterlieswhich I believe, should be added tothe stacks over in Harper. I shallmention a few.This Quarter is a quarterly pub¬lished in Monte Carlo, Monaco (ad¬dress 22 Boulevard de France, MissEthel Mooreh^ad Library Depart¬ment please note). It is similar totransition, except that it is less propa-gandistic. In expressing the latestminds of current fiction and art, it isas important as* its rival, transition.It has printed work of Ernest Hem¬ingway, Robert McAlmon, the lateErnest Walsh, Gertrude Stein, and Ibelieve Morley Collaghan. It, liketransition, introduces modern Euro¬pean writers. The student of con¬temporary literature and life shouldbe familiar with this publication; itexpresses an attitude, which is anti¬podal to that of most students, theattitude of hard-boiled cynicism anddespair. Its price however is too highfor many to buy, two fifty an issue.The Little Review has made literaryhistory. It was the periodical of theentire mid-western group of writerswho flourished in the shadow of theUniversity a decade or so back. It hasexisted in isolation, refusing to caterto public taste, and expressing neededsympathy to young writers ever since.It, for instance, published ErnestHemingway before the AtlanticMonthly did. It continues in its tradi¬tions, but where can a student findit in Chicago. Again I might give theLibrary department an address, 27 W.8th Street, New York city. I under¬stand that Ezra Pound publishes amagazine called Exiles. The Libraryshould look into this, because Poundhas wielded considerable influenceamongst certain groups. Two maga¬zine, which recently went out of print,but which in their day accepted ma¬terial from all the leaders of Americanfiction, are the (jreenwich VillageQuill, and the New Orleans DoubleDealer.

Well.Accot'd^ to that, our lives areeither narrowed, horribly narrowed,(if we agree with Mr. Rolvaag), orour lives may be well regulatedwithout the use of books.If such is life, it were better for Perhaps you did not know that theretvas such a thingAs loss or gain,Perhaps there was a music in the wayI had of cryingYour name before me in the rain.But the road ends.

To our grandfathers this play mighthave seemed a bit supernatural; to usit is an escape into the dream world, ithe world of the four wishes. Many have wondered at the twolarge paintings showing groups ofthe Berbers or Chleux, a race ofAfricans living in the Sahara Des¬ert, which were painted by the twinbrothers, George and Martin Baer,and which now hang in the Amer¬ican exhibition of paintings andsculpture at the Art Institute. TheBaer brothers are Chicago boys whohave spent much of their time dur¬ing the past three years in the Sa¬hara. They have just returned toChicago with about sixty canvassespainted in various parts of the greatdesert. Two large canvasses havebeen hung in the present exhibitions,one by George and one by MartinBaer. Both represent a motley as¬semblage of natives, camels, dogs,native vegetables, fruits, etc., allpainted in a modernistic spirit, withstrong accent placed on the emaciat¬ed, almost pitiful condition of thesepoverty stricken people. Accordingto the young painters, the true his¬tory of the Chleux has never beenwritten. They live in +he sandy des¬ert, where the heat ra iges up to 130degrees in the shade. The womendo not wear veils. They live in clans,and inhabit caves and tents, and mi¬grate between an oasis where datesand water are available and the edgeof the desert where they live onsuch game as they can kill. Theyhave no code of government, and nomarriage ceremony. When a child isborn, the father supports it and themother, and he usually takes noother mate. No Sympathy forNeurotic Addictof Dirty ShirtBy Langdon CartwrightSome time ago some young lady, anewly-wed, suggested that her hus¬band give, “Jim”, his boy friend, oneof his clean shirts to wear. EvidentlyJames had worn one shirt over'aweek. But this fact did not seem toeffect the situation, for the husbandmaintained that if James were to puton a clean shirt he would lose hisBohemian personality and consequent¬ly be classed as a Babbitt.Manchu TempleReally to appreciate Barrie one mustboth read and see him, for his prefacesare too whimsically rare to miss, andthe acting interpretation can be sogood that it is too bad if one cannotsee his plays acted.The cast, the regular acting com¬pany at the Goodman are excellent.They seem to be impro^?Thg with eachsucceeding play. The scenery and cos¬tuming are exquisite.lications were not on the stacks ofthe periodical room is criticism of theLibrary department.A magazine of a different stampthan the ones previously mentioned, isVanity Fair. For years it has exer¬cised considerable taste and judgementin accepting material, although it hasbeen guilty of buying names. AldusHuxley has been a constant contrib¬utor since about 1923. SherwoodAnderson has conducted his own liter¬ary obsequies within its covers in thelast year. Five or six years ago, it wasprinting articles of criticism and ap¬preciation of such characters as Fer¬dinand Leger the established FrenchCubistic painter. Other contributersto this monthly are Heywood Brown,Schnitzler, Walter Lippmann, GeorgeJean Nathan, Theodore Dreiser, Alex-ande Wolcott, and Enest Newman.Such a magazine surely should be inthe periodical room.Others are the Modern Quarterly,which is interested in comtemporarythought, and which has accepted ma¬terial from Robert Morse Lovett,Plain Talk, even though it is an imita-tation of the American Mercury, G.tation of the American Mercury, O.O.’t Weekly published and edited byamongst the Catholic phamphleteer group that have been so influenced byBelloc and Chesterton. Then, too,there is the New Student, the Catho¬lic World, such English art magazinesas The Apollo, and Drawing andDesign, and the La Follette Magazine.The library might well contain afew of the quack and meretriciouslyliterary magazines which flourish inthis great land of liberty. These maga¬zines are expressive of social attitudes,and thought patterns. They are casematerial for the social psychologist.True Stories, with a circulation oftv'enty million, is surely as important,or nearly as influential as the movies.It should be studied by students ofsociology, and thus, included in thestacks over at Harper’s. The Liberty,Cosmopolitan, the Columbia publishedby the Knights of Columbus NautuUus,the magazine of New Thought, andthe American Legion Weekly alsoshould be added for similar reasons.The libraries can more afford thesethan the students, and it is the dutyof the former to suppily the materialessential to study. If necessary a fewhundred dollars might be subtractedor stolen from the recent good willgift of one million dollars. The stu¬dent body could say extra prayers tobalance up for the money. “Dear Brutus” is given under thedirection of B. Iden Payne, who ap¬pears in the production as Mr. PurdieMr. Payne was the director of thisplay when it was given at its firstNew York performance in which Wil¬liam Gillette starred. “Dear Brutus”will be given every night in the weekexcept Sunday night, with Fridaymatinee, until further notice. OnThursday, December 13, at 4 P.

Especiallythe so-called collegiate ones have anidea that Bohemia and Bohemianismare something weird and separate fromthe rest of society both in organizationand practice. However, I beg to differwith any one who holds the notionthat a Bohemian is inherently differentthan any other human being. I mustadmit that there are people who poseas Bohemians by acting or trying toimpress you by their actions as beingdifferent. But let us not forget thatthese so-called Bohemians accomplishnothing except swallowing one pintof the cheapest drink that they canget. They believe that they are Bo¬hemians when they attend lectureafter lecture delivered by a soap boxspeaker, whose source of inspirationand information is a superficial read¬ing of Kroft Ebbings, PsychopathicLexualir. At times they make pro¬found statements that only minds liketheirs can originate.The above type of Bohemian iswithout a doubt the neurotic one.Their type is sincere in its own neuro¬sis, but it should never be held up asan example.Any one who has made the ac¬quaintance of a real artist will agreewith me that he has one primaryproblem to solve. That problem isnone other than his art. His art ishis first and last concern. To hitn,inspiration is important, but hard workholds just as important a place as anyother element in executing his work.However, and, unfortunately, theartist is not w’ealthy. Because of thisfact, he must worry over economicproblems as well as any other humanbeing. But in order that he may ac¬complish his artistic ends easier hemust have as much leisure time aspossible. This he does by living incheaper quarters. He lowers his costof living by doing his own cooking.He decorates his studio up accordingto his own desires. But all thesethings are done with one aim in view,namely art.GiftA new and larger art museum, ad¬joining the present world famousinstitute which was the grift to Chi¬cago of the 1893 World’s Fair, willbe one of the contributions of theCentennial Celebration to the city.The architectural commission of theFair has just completed a three dayconference to determine the generalarchitectural scheme for 1933. Themuseum, when completed, will housethe billion-dollar masterpieces ex¬pected for the art display.Other features determined by thecommission will be in keeping withthe proposed museum. A magrnifi-cent exposition transcending in ar¬chitectural beauty anything previ¬ously attempted, embracing the lat-test developments in transportation,and reflecting new and startling de¬velopments of science and invention,is certified by this preliminary re¬port of the architectural commission. Corinne Griffith has portrayedwhat is said to be the most powerfuldramatic role of her entire screencareer in the modern film versionif “Outcast’’ which is scheduled torun at the Tivoli theater next week.The play is from the famousstage success, written by HurbertHenry Davies and starring ElsieFergusen.Delta Chis CampusHosts Last NightActing in the capacity of campushosts, the Delta Chis presented a fe»of their songs at the Tower Theatrelast night in a progrram planned byFrankie Masters and George Nkklesas part of the weekly “MaroonNight’’ schedule.This is in keeping with the policyof having a fraternity act as hoston successive Thursday nights, inau¬gurated by the management .thisquarter. In conclusion I must say that theabnormal type of Bohemianism isnothing more than a perverted notionof some thing that no artist wouldaccept as part of himself. It is a com¬plex suffered by those who cannotdo anything artistic, who merely tryto prolong their idle existence at theexpense of their neighbors and thepeace of their pals if they have an>.Plan Greek DramaAnd Roman BanquetPlans for the activities of Eta SigmaPhi, honorary undergraduate classicalsociety, including the annual Romanbanquet and the presentation of aGreek play, are being formulated now,according to a statement made yes¬terday by H. Lloyd Stow, president.The play chosen for presentationnext spring is the “Alcestis” of Euri¬pides, famous tragedian of the sixthcentury. The production will be givenin English and staged and costumedin authentic Greek style. The lasttragedy given by Eta Sigma Phi wat^the "Iphiginia in Tauris” of Euripides.The Roman banquet to be held nextquarter will be characterized by par¬ticular attention to setting and otherhistorical details. It is possible thatRoman costumes will be worn by therevellers.Mi tiliiiaiPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY. DECEMBER 14, 1928A BUSINESS MOTIVE POWERThe time must come when allbusinesses will consider the ad¬visability of advertising in thesame spirit that a manufacturerponders over the advisability ofadopting a new machine. Onedoes not install a piece of labor-saving mechanism because itsuits his fancy; but because theefficiency of the .business re¬quires it. might as well ignore the banksas sources of credit when he hasneed to borrow capital.On the other hand, the man wholooks to advertising to check¬mate all weaknesses and short¬comings of his business and tocarry it along to victory despitethese, has a childlike faith in themiraculous.He expects the new machine toreduce his cost to operate—per¬haps to make a better product—and thus aid him in meetingcompetition and making largerprofits.Advertising is exactly similar.The man who refuses to con¬sider it as a possible expedient,simply shuts his eyes on one ofthe problems of his business. He Advertising will not make hisproduct or his service any betterthan they are, but it will bringhim the full benefits of theirmerits. It will not eliminatewastefullness in his factory orhis store; but it will reduce hiscost to operate. It will not makeillogical selling methods success¬ful; but it will assist good sellingmethods, and often point theway for improving them.Advertising is the most expens¬ive motive power that the man¬ufacturer or merchant can buytoday. It is a form of stimulusthat brings excellent returns onthe investment.*-1 if ■.. iiiiirniriTimiiiiiMrfriiiiini iMi nttir- -■ n jfl'iiniifliiiiiJlh'iHrn-iir 1^QCHRISTMASEDITION Wf^t Bail}) JRaroon SPORTSSECTIONTHE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1928Editor’s Note: And this time in theTempest we feel that we ought to getaway from the long tirades on whatought to be and why, and have a lit¬tle bit of the sublime mixed with a bitof humor, and the whole thing be¬smirched with sports.You’ve heard of Russian dancers andof French maids, but did you ever hearof a Persian football player?

Last season the Uni¬versity of Indiana, if you please, con¬ceived the excellent idea of havingmore than one leader (how many cap¬tains they did have is still a matterof dispute).

NORTH DAKOTA VS. MAROONSCHAMPIONSHIP GOAL OF HOFFERMENFEW VETS BACK;NEW MEN LOOKGOOD IN PRACTICEUp at Minnesota they are alwaysdoing something in this game of foot¬ball. Last year Herb Joesting, whobruises easily as the papers say, playedon the all-eastern eleven against thefar western all-star aggregation, andthough his team lost 14-0 the Gophercaptain covered himself with glory andmud by averaging a good four yardsevery time he carried the ball. Thistime Gibson and Haycraft, two famedlinemen from up the Nippersink, willcarry Minnesota’s colors in the annualeast-west event.Houdini may have been a good manin his day, but we think honors oughtnow to go to Fred Barrat, the slightlyover two hundred pound Ohio Statefootball center. Just before the Illi¬nois game, which meant the Big Tenchampionship, the Buckeye campuswas thrown into all sorts of throesbecause this same Barrat had mys¬teriously and provokingly vanished in¬to thin air. However, he returned—•where he was, why and when, wenever discovered. Immediately thissame Frederick Barrat received themonicker of "Roving Center** and itclung, for right after the Illini tilt,he disappeared again. Now comesword from his fraternity brothers thathe has been home mending a fewminor broken ribs. Well, Freddie boy,we’ll excuse you this time, but seethat it doesn’t happen again.They often laugh at dopesters—that’s not nice—howl! When mostof the critics got together for the pur¬pose of picking their all-Americanelevens, the men from the west coastthat received most of the attention■w’ere Don Williams, quarterback atSouthern California; Jess Hibbs, startackle at the same institution, and BifTHoffman, powerful fullback at Stan¬ford, However, when the AssociatedPress writers on the west coast pickedan all-star team for that section. Mapleof Oregon State was put ahead ofWilliams, Carroll of Washington beatout Riff (with emphasis on the Biff)Hoffman for the fullback position andJess Hibbs made the second team se¬lected by his own coach. Oh, thesesports writers! Pre-Season AppearanceShows ChampionshipHopesOnce again the most successful ath¬letic team of recent years at the Uni¬versity of Chicago stands to sweepaway all competition and add anotherstar to its already bestudded record.The Maroon gymnastic team, underthe tutelage of Coach Hoffer, has theremarkable record of having won threeconfeience championships in the lastthree years and having won the na¬tional championship two of thoseyears. The other year, Chicago wasnot able to travel east for the cham¬pionship meet, and so their record is100 per cent in championships for thelast three years.Menzies Is MainstayIj Menzies. captain of the team thisI year, stands ace-high in the opinioni of Coach Hoffer, who compares himI with Flexndr and Davidson, lastyear’s mainstays. From the way inj which practice has indicated, MenziesI is a good third of the team, being ani all-around man, able to participate inalmost any event. He is a major “C"man from last year and with his ex¬perience and ability he should makethem sit up and take notice.Many Promising MenSherubel, an Old English man fromlast year, is another man upon whomCoach Hoffer is relying to develop in¬to championship material. Weaver willrepresent Chicago in the rings, hori¬zontal bars, and tumbling; Watson,who participated in the Milwaukee"Y" meet last year is trying out forthe horses and for tumbling; PhilKolb, with some experience last yearis working on the rings and parallelbars; Hutchinson has been showing upwell on the bars, both parallel andhorizontal; Broniund, an entirely greenman, is working out in tumbling andclub swinging; Johnson, an ex-wrest¬ler shows potentialities, but as yet heis unclassified in regards to specificwork, and another Kolb, who cameover from track, is also showing ex¬cellent promise.Sammy Behr, the back who did so wellon the Badger grid team this fall andbrother of Capt. Louis Behr of the1927-28 cage team, after being boostedas a nine-letter man, disclosed thathe will not report for the Wisconsinbasketbaif team this year. Sammy gaveas his reasons the fact that he hadconsiderable work to do in his studies.Well, you may believe the reasons ornot—but w’e feel that the gentlemanin question has struck the keynote ofthe American Educational policy—everything subservient to Education—viva la—blubber—^help. VORRES SEEKS NEWHEAVY GRAPPLERSLack of men in middle and heavyweights is the problem that facesCoach Vorres, as the wrestling sea¬son approaches. The Maroon matteam will be quite strong in the lighterweights, but woefully weak in big fel¬lows.There are three minor letter menback this year. They are CaptainFishman, 118 lbs.; George Nardin, 128lbs., and Max Sonderby, heavyweight.A host of sub-minor letter winnershave returned and are showing up wellin workouts: Winne and Fuchs, win¬ner of third place in th.; conferencemeet last year, in the 118-pound class;Zornow, a 138-pounder; Stewart Brad¬ley, who wrestled in the 158 pound di¬vision last year, and Kollodziej, 148-pound class.Among the numeral winners CoachVorres has Louis Levin, 118 lbs.; Jul¬ius Merriman, 118 lbs.; C.

Big Ten FacesSeason in WhichStars Are ManyTrack prospects for the coming yearare unusually bright in the Big Ten.No school has suffered greatly inlosses from last year’s team, and mostschools have their teams almost in¬tact. Last year, Olympic era, wasconsidered a particularly brilliant year,but this season bids fair to surpass it.It looks as though Illinois and Iowawere going to lead the conferenceagain, with Ohio, Michigan, Wiscon¬sin, Chicago, and Northwestern fight¬ing it out for third place. Indianahas many good distance men, but fallsdown in the sprints, hurdles andweights. Purdue has but one realstar, Martin, the miler and two-miler.Minnesota will probably have a bal¬anced team with but few outstandingmen. Iowa, through the new addi¬tion of Gordon, the hurdle, high-jumpand broad-jump star may push Illi¬nois out of her conference champion¬ship, Gordon was a member of the1928 Olympic team.As to th> separate situation at Chi¬cago, Ned Merrlam finds himself withmore material than has ever been pres¬ent on a Chicago track team since thewar. In Gist, Root, East, Schulz,Letts, Brainard, Teitleman, Haydon,W'exman, and Williams, he has agroup of men from whom he can fash¬ion great relay teams, and who canbe relied upon to bring in points inrunning events of any meet. Otherrunners who will aid, are Jackson,Holt, Hibben, Klaasen, Kramer, Liv¬ingston, Mason, and Pinkovitch.In the jumps and weights are suchmen as Frey, Klein, Weaver, Libby,Reiwitch, Boesel, Waltenberg, andCowley. With six letter men back,an efficient coaching system, and plen¬ty of interest on the part of the can- •didates, the track team looks like a |first division team. However, like jany team, the track team needs popu¬lar support, and attendance at theMinnesota-Chicago indoor meet, andthe Purdue-Chicago and Quardanglermeets, outdoor, is requested from thestudent-body and the public in general. Captain Pat Kelly SPEB) TO PUYMAJOR PART INCHICAGO AHACKPat Kelly, recently elected captain of the 1929 Maroons, isalready anticipating a successful season. Kelly has played a hardconsistent game at end for two years and proven his capacities forreliable leadership.Loss of Vets Will iHandicapCoach Stagg Again Next FallLAST YEAR’S VETSCOMPOSE FENCINGSQUAD FOR .19 2 9With the fencing team starting the jnew quarter, prospects for a very sue- jcessful season look bright. All but Itwo men have returned from the squad jwhich last year was undefeated in all !dual meets and which climaxed abrilliant season by taking the Confer¬ence title with two individual vic¬tories.Captaining the team is Elmer Fried-1man, who holds the Conference indi¬vidual foils title. He will perform jwith his favorite weapon, protectinghis title, Ed Wallace, a brilliant fenc¬er and member of last year’s team, willalso probably fence with the foils,while the third man is likely to beSam Goldberg, also of the 1927 squadwho has developed into an exceeding¬ly dangerous fencer.Wallace, who tied for second hon¬ors last year, will undoubtedly leadthe dueling sword team. If JamesSteere, a veteran of two seasons, whois out of residence this quarter, butexpects to be back for the winter, re¬turns, he will make a brilliant addi¬tion to the outfit. He performs equal¬ly well with the foil or sword. JoeEisendrath has also been working wellin thi^ branch and is almost sure tosee service. Friedman may also seeservice. A difficult task will face CoachStagg next fall when he starts to builda grid machine for the 1929 campaign.With the loss of thirteen veterans bygraduation the “Old Man’’ is upagainst the problem of placing in thefield a team that will be heavy enoughto stand the onrushes of Big Ten op¬ponents and such non-conference op¬ponents as Washington and Prince¬ton.Among the men who appeared forthe last time on the gridiron for Chi¬cago this fall are. Captain Weislow,tackle; Rudy Leyers, fullback; BobSpence and Harold Preiss, ends; MaiProudfoot and Kaare Krogh, tackles-,Vin Libby and Anatole Raysson, half¬backs; Ken Small, center; Joe Garen,tackle; Minott Stickney, end, andPhelps Pratt and Laurel Smith, backs.Fourteen Vets BackCoach Stagg will have as a nucleusfor the 1929 eleven. Captain Kelly andHoward Jersild. ends; Mende:ihall andHey wood, halfbacks; Burgess, full¬back; Bluhm, quarterback; Strauss,center; Weaver and Cushman, guards;Froberg and Cassle, tackles; Erickson,guard, and Freudenthal and VanNice,halfbacks. All of these men have hadexperience in Big Ten competition andare expected to show a great improve¬ment. The greatest handicap that theteam will be under will be lack ofweight.The reserve strength for next year’steam will be drawn from the ranksof the frosh numeral winners. Thereare many good prospects among theyearlings and several of them expectedto give the vets hard battles for reg¬ular varsity berths. Temple and Mac-Kenzie were the outstanding fullbackson th freshman squad. Paul Staggand Dyer looked pretty good at thequarterback position. Lou Kanne, an¬other field general, is a likely prospectfor the varsity. He can run well, pass. and punt. Carpenter, Kawalski, Ol¬son and Buzzel all were good halffbacks.In the line Flemming, guard, stoodout. He is fast and is a fairly bigfellow. Trude, a tackle, is another ofthe few large men on the yearlingsquad and should see service next sea¬son. Horwitz, Walsh, and Hamburgare all good guards, but are somewhatlight for conference competition. Atthe ends are Loomis and Wein. Thesemen, too, lack weight. Snidemanplayed a good game at center last falland will quite probably get into sev¬eral of the battles as a reserve. Thefrosh, however, are under the samehandicap that the varsity is—lack ofweight. Speed will be the outstandingcharacteristic of the team.WATER POLOISTSHAVE TITLE HOPESWith a large number of veteransand experienced men among the squadof seventy working out every day inthe Bartlett Natatorium to make thewater polo team, Coach MacGillivrayis expecting to be among the leadingcontenders for the conference title inthat sport.Captain Szold, Bartoli, and McNeilare the three veterans back. CornyOker, who was a star in his freshmanyear, is expected to be back at theuniversity this winter quarter. Tuck¬er, one of the most outstanding of lastyear’s yearling crop, is working hardto hurdle his scholastic difficulties.There are also many men who havehad some experience in the game try¬ing to make the team. Stephenson, agreat backstroker, is doing fine work.MacMillan, Don Moore Plimpton, Sil-verstein, a very good guard, and(Continued on page 2) Offense To CekitAT AroundGist, KaplanChangnonBy Morris I.

DECEMBER 14, 1928RAYSSON AND WEISLOWAJ.IC0.‘‘Speed** Raysson and Saul Weulow have worn their Maroonfootball togs for the last time. This June both of them graduate af¬ter three yesu-s of hard consistent playing. As captain of the 1928squad, Weislow was unfortunately laid out fm* the entire season%rith an injured knee.SPEED TO PLAYMAJOR PART INCHICAGO ATTACK(Continued from page 1)which he has followed for the lasttwo seasons. Instead of a tight de¬fense and a slow moving offense wait¬ing for a “break,” the Chicago five willthis year feature a fast stepping, pow¬erful offense, with the burden fallingupon Gist, Changnon and Kaplan.Of last year’s men. Coach Norgrenhas Captain Gist, Kaplan, Changnon,and Cooper. Murphy, Crawford, andCassle are some of last season’s sub¬stitutes who will undoubtedly be ofmuch aid during the current games.Topping the list of newcomers areFish, Yates, Chisholm and Blattburg,all of whom are really playing goodball and giving some of last year’smen a real battle for their positions.Captain Gist will bear the burdenon the offense, this coupled with thecenter position, the Maroon leader willhave his hands full in every game.Gist is only six feet and will have todo some sensational jumping to getthe tip-off from any of the Big Tencenters; most of whom stand a goodsix feet three and more.The forw'ard positions in the mainwill be handled by Kaplan and Chang¬non, both veterans of last year. Thiswill be Bob Kaplan’s third year onthe varsity and if it wasn’t for hislack of height. Bob would undoubted¬ly be considered one of the finest for¬wards in some time. He handles theball with smoothness, is very quick,and has a high arching shot that isthe envy of most basketeers. “Chang”is a hard, fast player, and should notbe bothered much by height. His“eye” so far this season has been allthat could be wanted.Among the forward reserves areYates, Chisholm, Davis and Williamswith the first two having an edge overthe others. Yates is a product of theChicago high schools. The same istrue of Chisholm, w’ho has also beenconsiderably handicapped by his short¬ness.WATER POLOISTSHAVE TITLE HOPES(Continued from page 1)Ladanyi, who played some last sea¬son are all back.Fancy diving will be the event inwhich the Maroon tank team will beweakest.

How¬ever, the Maroon mentor will haveabout five English “C" men and twoMinor “C” men to use as a nucleus.Kaplan Is SteadyIn Captain Kaplan, the Maroon teamhas one of the headiest hurlers in theConference. Kaplan pitched good balllast season and proved exceptionallyeffective toward the close of the sea¬son. Last year. Bob shared the hurl¬ing assignment with Zimmerman, butas the latter has graduated and noexceptional mound material has yetappeared, it looks like Kaplan willhave to toil plenty of hours in thebox during the next season. Green-wald, the only other pitcher left fromlast year, showed lots of “stuff” butno control. If he can bear down andget to control his tosses, Crisler willundoubtedly find him a valuable man.In the infield, Cooper and Hola-han will be back to attempt to holddown the initial and keystone sacks,respectively. Cooper played well lastyear and should have the inside rail in the battle for first base. Holahanalso played last year and will prob¬ably fight it out with Pushell for sec¬ond base. In the outfield. Coach Cris¬ler will have Davis and Knowles, twoclassy gardeners. Wingate will prob¬ably draw the assignment behind thebat, with Gray substituting for him.However, among all these veteransWingate and Davis are the only oneswho hit anywhere near three hun¬dred. The team will feel the lack otHoerger, Priess and Anderson, all ofwhom hit consistently around .350 andprovided the necessary punch withmen on base.Just how much he can expect fromthe freshmen, is still a question toCoach Crisler. Among the numeralmen who will appear for practice start¬ing Jan. 9, will be Miller, Urban, Zah-orick. Van Dyne, Yates, Fish, Davis,Jancius, Williams, Cahill, and Kin-cheloe.The problem of getting into con¬dition will offer new difficulties now Ithat all of the pitchers are out forbasketball and will not be availablefor baseball until early March, whichwill give them hardly any time to getin a sufficient amount of training.Whether the team wdll take a south¬ern trip during the vacation week will idepend in the main on how things {lineup. ! Whether the squad will go to Japanthis year is still a question, as all ar¬rangements up to the present timehave been only of a tentative nature.However, that the team will go to theOrient to meet the Waseda nine in1930, is almost a certainty. In theConference, the Maroons will play twogames each with Indiana, Purdue,Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Ohio.Besides these tilts, they will engagemany smaller college and industrialteams and will probably have a sched¬ule of nearly twenty-five games.The outstanding fact is that thegreat number of graduations last yearwill leave many positions open, andmany new men have a chance to showjust what they can do with a base¬ball. Coach Fritz Crisler has assuredevery one that they will be startingwith a severe handicap in the springif they do not come out for baseballpractice during the winter and get in¬to good condition for the openinggames.MERRYCHRISTMAST OALLGift Suggestions fromWinters—of PracticabilityDRESS SHIRTSDRESS STUDSDERBIESDRESS GLOVESDRIVING GLOVESSIK ROBESFLANNEL ROBESSILK SHORTSSILK TOPSSWEATERS CRAVATSMUFFLERSWOOL SOXCUFF LINKSWHITE SHIRTSFANCY SHIRTSBOSTONIAN SHOESBELTS & BUCKLES-CHICAGO” BUCKLESCIGARETTE LIGHTERSGolf Sox and Sweaters to MatchPostage Paid on all Gifts Mailed from this ShopWinter’s Men’s Shop1357 E. 55th StreetHYDE PARK 5160Open Every Evening ’Till Christmasr KANGAROO LIBBYCollege Graduatesneed aSPRING BOARDto theirFIRST POSITIONENGLEWOOD BUSINESS COLLEGE735 Elnglewood AvenueVin is a versatile fellow.

Among acertain class he is not historical butrather a personification of beliefs in¬vented for the accountance of Chris¬tian religion. This view was con¬sidered in vogue about ten years ago,and it is still met with among thosewho like to regard themselves su¬perior to ordinary methods of study,ods of study.Another group accepts Christ as anhistorical character and devote them¬selves to his teaching, but they donot undertake to give him any theo¬logical character. Tolstoi and his fol¬lowers are a fair example of thistype of thought. They said thatChrist taught non-resistance, and theytried to discover in Him opposition togovernmental authority.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON.

It fills a long-felt want and a crying need. A better, moreunified University spirit should result after these residence halls areup. Many who are forced to live blocks and miles away from thecampus will then be drawn into the web of real University life. Xheannouncement comes as a real gift to undergraduates of this Uni¬versity.MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALLMEiciiiciirrrrrrrfTrrrrrrrTrrTrTTTT‘"*“"'""“*“*‘*‘*****‘"""‘""*‘*‘""‘”CHRISTITIANITY AT ITS HIGHESTIt is customary at Chtistmas-tide for the Christian’s dispositionto appear at its best. Then, if ever, does he regard the teachings ofChrist, Lincoln and Tolstoi as the supreme good and ideal. Then,if ever, is he to be mindful of a sense of kinship and understandingwith his fellows, is he to seek to be identified witb men rather thandistinguished from them, and is he to endeavor towards the hap¬piness of the whole human family.Then truly does the Christian awaken to the fact that out in theslums there are many poor and deserving brothers; the minutes arenot many before well-filled baskets are transported thither. Thendoes everyone have a smile and a glad-hand for everyone. Sisterlyand brotherly squabbles are forgotten; neighbors become neighborsin the true sense of the word; bitter words are taboo ;Republican8joke about Democrats, and there is even warm feeling for the “boss’’as he disperses corporation gifts and bonuses. Then is everyone readyto listen to their fellows’ troubles; but they are not put to the bother,for no one is willing to admit misfortune in this time in which thespirit of Chtist pervades the world.During the brief period of Christmas-tide there is “Charity forall, malice toward none,’’ “Peace on Earth and Good Will TowardMen’’ in the ranks of Good Christians. And their God smiles con¬tentedly and benignly in his place in the heavens.But the Yule season is a short one, and on January 2nd thosein the slums descend once more into distressing oblivion, brothersand sisters find new debate subjects, neighbors revive old gossip andscandal. Democrats slander Republicans, and the boss comes intothe office at 10 a. m. with blood in his eye. The ways of Christianson earth become regretably normal once again; and the beauty ofdemocratic living charms men no more.We wonder what the face of God looks like on January 2nd.His must be a perplexed expression indeed.VIC ROTERUS.MERRY CHRISTMAS .TO ALL Attendance ShowsStudent InterestIn New ChapelWith capacity congregations reg¬ularly drawn to the Sunday servicesand a continuous stream of visitorsevery day entering its doors, the newUniversity Chapel has established it¬self as a permanent focus of religiousexpression both in the community andon the campus, declared Dr. CharlesW. Gilkcy, Dean of the Chapel, yes¬terday.Interest Marked“The general public interest in thenew structure and its services has beengreater than anyone foresaw,” saidDr. Gilkey. “For the Arst twelve suc¬cessive public services on Sundays andThanksgiving Day, people have reg¬ularly been turned away. The Sun¬day afternoon musical services havemet so warm a response from all overthe city that they are to be continuedthrough the winter quarter.“It is impossible,” he asserted, “toestimate how large a proportion ofthe congregation comprises students,but this much is certain: that the useof the student door and of the specialsection reserved until the hour of theservices for both students and facultyhas steadily increased. Last Sundaythe number of students in the congre¬gation, both relative and absolute, wasthe largest of any Sunday.“The interest of the students andfaculty in the special Friday noonservices has also made it evident thatthis is a permanent and valuable partof the Chapel’s functions.”The Board of Social Service and Re¬ligion continued Dr. Gilkey, has vot¬ed not to hold regular Wednesdayevening services in the Chapel duringthe winter quarter and to substituteespecially-arranged programs to occuron various evenings without limitationto a fixed day.Wisconsin to FeteUniversity StudentsUniversity of Chicago students willbe entertained at the annual Univer¬sity of Wisconsin informal Christmasparty on Saturday, Dec. 22, to be heldat the Morrison Hotel.Abe Lyman and his world famousorchestra, who were featured in “GoodNews” will pHay during the entireevening, making their farewell appear¬ance in Chicago before the openingof “Good News” in St. Louis the fol¬lowing day.
