MAROONS NOSE OUTMINNESOTA, 32-31 INSPECTACULAR GAMECagers Drill for TiltWith Michigan HereSaturdayWORK ,6^DEFENSENorgrenites Are Baffled bySpeedy GopherOffenseAfter defeating: the Minnesota in¬vaders 32-3'] in a spectacular gameSaturday night, Coach Norgren’s bas¬ketball team settled down for a weekof intensive practice in preparation forthe Michigan tilt here next Saturday.Although the Maroons trailed byfive points at the half in the Minne¬sota battle, they played cool basket¬ball, never deviating from the systemof attack that Coach Norgren institut¬ed thfs year, overcame the lead andheld the margin to the end of the con¬test. Victory was a result of the com¬bined efforts of the team which tookfew wild shots and executed theirplays with deliberation and precision.Good Eye For Free ThrowsA contributing factor that kept theMaroon five in the running was its un¬canny success in sinking free throwsAt opportune moments in the gamethe Chicago players completed twelvecharity shots out of fourteen attempts.The Gophers would make long bas¬kets froni unorthodox positions; theMaroons would retaliate by complet¬ing a few from the free throw line.The Minnesota squad rated as ateam with good basket eyes playedtrue to expectations. Most of theirbaskets were of the long distance va¬riety. It was their inability to takeadvantage of free shots and the Ma¬roon’s cool, unflustered performancein the face of defeat that sent the Go¬phers home humbled.Sid Yates Stars in TiltSidney Yates was easily the flashi¬est player on the floor. The ambidex¬trous forward contributed sixteenpoints by virtue of five baskets and sixfree throws. Captain Fish played agood guarding game and led the teamin its concerted attack throughout thecontest. Stephenson, lield scorelessin the first half, came through with afew difficult shots when the going wasfiercest. Ashley’s free throwing in thelate stages of the game put them in thelead and it was Parsons who extractedthe ball out of a wild scramble for aneasy tip in shot to maintain Chicago’stwo point margin near the close of thecontest.Defense Lacks PolishBut the Maroon defense lacked pol¬ish and Coach Norgren will empha¬size this department so that his menwill present a more invincible defen¬sive against Michigan than they didagainst Minnesota. The Gophers em¬ployed their dazzling criss-cross at¬tack, and pivot play with marked suc¬cess. The Maroons were caught nap¬ping on a fast in out-of-bounds play,the same type of play which had al¬most snatched victory from them inthe Indiana game.Chicago meets Michigan next Satur¬day at Bartlett. If the Maroons de¬feat the Wolverines, who are alwaystroublesome in championship strug¬gles, they must then be given seriousconsideration as a contender for theConference title.New Program PlannedBy Men’s CommissionMarking the conclusion of tw'o com¬plete years of activity, a meeting ofthe Men’s Commission on Social Serv¬ice and Religion at the home of Pro¬fessor Edwin Aubrey Sunday eveningconsidered the past program of thecommission and acted upon problemsto concern it during the next months.The commission has been the spon¬sor of the social meetings for thetransfer students during the past quar¬ter, and is planning to resume this win¬ter the Hitchcock hall Sunday eveningmeetings for campus men.

Thurstone, professor ofPsychology, has submitted to the As¬sociation of University Professors apractical plan to achieve the right ofunhampered thinking and research forthe teacher. This plan, entitled “Aca¬demic Freedom”, is at present underthe observation of a special com¬mittee which will submit it for the ap¬proval of the Association early inApril.“.Academic Freedom” is an attempton the part of the author to promotesome definite action to be taken bythe teaching profession to minimize in¬terference from laymen in universityinstruction.Distressed By SituationThree years ago Professor Thur¬stone was one of a committee sent bythe Association of University' Pi*©-fessors to investigate the case of Pro¬fessor Max Meyers, who had recentlybeen expelled from the University ofMissouri due to his endorsement ofsociological studies. While on this caseProfessor Thurstone recognized theneed of a plan intended to meet thesituation when college teachers aredismissed because their teaching or re¬search conflicts with religious super¬stition and prejudice. He was dis¬tressed by the situation he confrontedat the University of Missouri wherean “ignorant board of trustees passedjudgment on w’hat should be taught,when it should be taught, and how itshould be taught.”Completes Plan.Accordingly, Professor Thurstone re¬turned to the LJniversity and drew upthe following plan: “The Associationof University Professors should beasked to prepare and maintain an ac¬tive list of accredited colleges and uni¬versities. The standards tor this lisfinclude professional competence of thestaff, collegiate level of instruction, andfreedom of scholarly and scientific in¬quiry. If, at any time the Associa¬tion decides that an accredited collegeno longer satisfies those conditions, thecollege will be eliminated from theaccredited list.”By this plan it will be possible towithdraw the advantages of academictalent from those institutions that failto support science and the men whostudy it.Answers CriticismsYesterday, Professor Thurstone an¬swered the two most common criti¬cisms of his plan. The first, that it is(Continued on page 4'Commons, Medics,A, E.

Two of theplays deal with college life as seenby those close to it and two are frank¬ly experimental pieces with novel av¬enues of approach. Three of the playswere written in Frank O’Hara’s play¬writing class and the fourth is thework of Albert Arkules, Senior Editorof The Daily Maroon,t Will Interpret Contemporary LifeIn an interview yesterday, Mr.•O’Hara said that the “Dramatic as¬sociation is much pleased to have forproduction plays that are about con¬temporary lives and which reflect stu¬dent reactions to present day situa¬tions, and that the association is es¬pecially pleased to have a play fromoutside the class, which is indicativeof student interest in the Playfest.”John Bobbitt, co-editor of the Cir¬cle, has contributed one of the experi¬mental plays. It is entitled “Tablesfor Ladies” and takes place in thesteel mill district of Chicago.New Tsrpe of Playi Albert Arkules’ play “D Minor” isan attempt to fit the action of a playto the movement of a symphony and isregarded by Mr. O’Hara as a signifi¬cant departure in playwriting.The two plays about college lifewere written by Mary Imelda Maher,a graduate of the College of the Sa¬cred Heart in New York City andLeon Levine who spent two years atthe University of Illinois.

Earlier in the day, Mrs.Chang will be guest of honor at a teagiven by Mrs. Paul Shorey and Mrs. }Bruce W. Dickson. |As professor of philosophy at NanKai university, Tientsin, China, Dr.Chang was primarily interested indrama; and he is described by LloydLewis of the Daily News as “one of themost knowing men on oriental theatri¬cal affairs.” Perhaps in this field morethan in any other, modernity can befound creeping into the labyrinth ofantique thought.“The modern theatre, such as youknow it,” proceeds Dr. Chang, “ismaking a start in China, primarily inthe young student group. I have pro¬duced with amateur actors many Ib¬sen and Wilde dramas translated intoChinese. The strolling players andcompanies in smaller cities still clingto the old professional theatres andthe moderns do not want to harm thatlife. They want China to have twotheatres—the old and the new—sur¬viving side by side.“We are translating the best Eng¬lish-language dramas and tvlsh yourscholars would do the samq for ours.In our libraries is the only completerecord of. a people for 3,500 consecu¬tive years, the fund of culture ofone-fourth the human race.

HAYDEN WINGATETO MANAGE 1931WASHINGTON PROMCommence Plans ForAll - UniversityFormalconducF"surveyDaily Maroon Asks WhatMakes Successful-DanceBy Edgar A. GreenwaldPlacing for the second consecutivetime the management of the Washing¬ton Prom into the hands of a singleperson, the Undergraduate councilyesterday morning picked HaydenWingate as manager of the currentversion of the all-University winterformal.The step was taken in an effort toplace the responsibility of the affairinto the hands of one person to insurecomplete supervision of arrangementsfronr every angle and to facilitate thesecuring of an orchestra through ex¬perienced supervision, Althcrugh theProm last year was not financially suc¬cessful, despite the services of a man¬ager, it was found that this was dueto other causes and that the appoint¬ment of a manager really proved anadvisable step.Commence ArrangementsNo plans of a definite nature haveas yet been made for this year’s tra¬ditional dance, but according to thenewly elected manager, work on thearrangements will begin at once. Sev¬eral problems confront Wingate whichmust be solved before any actual workon campus begins,February 21, the date on which theProm usually is held, this year fallson Saturday, making either the dateor the place uncertain, as the SouthShore country club would not be avail¬able that evening. The general con¬sensus of opinion so far has been thatthe date will be altered.Maroon SurveyWingate indicated yesterday that thesuccess of the Prom had been moreor less a haphazard affair heretofor.The price, place, and the orchestrahad been fixed by the leaders in con¬junction with the Council without dueconsideration of these items as fac¬tors of success. This year efforts willbe made in the nature of a surveythrough The Daily Maroon under thesupervision of Art Howard to deter¬mine what, in the estimation of theundergraduate body, constitutes a suc¬cessful Prom,The gradual decline of attendancein the past three years has made thisstep imperative. It was felt that at¬tendance was not due to gradual finan¬cial inability on the part of the stu¬dents, but to a decreasing interest inan affair which invariably remainedthe same regardless of student de¬mands. No promises are made by themanager regarding the extent ofchanges, should there be any, but thesurvey will guide to a large extentthe arrangements in the hope of giv¬ing everyone what they expect in theway of an all-University dance.Hayden Wingate is a member ofDelta Kappa Epsilon, and was catch¬er on the baseball team last springand on its tour of Japan. The fourProm leaders with whom he will planthe affair are Jean Searcy, Dale Letts,Marjorie Cahill, and George Mahin.Scheibler AddressesStage-Craft ClassThe technique of stage lighting willbe discussed by James Scheibler, pres¬ident of the Dramatic association, atthe second meeting of the stage-craftclass Wednesday in the Reynolds clubtheatre at 3:30. Demonstrations willbe given of different lighting effects.The stage-craft class is an innova¬tion introduced by the Tower Players,the technical organization of the Dra¬matic assocition. Don Ament scenerydesigner for the Goodman theatre spoketo the class at its first meeting lastweek on the place of scenery of the¬atre and the difficulties attending itsdesign and manipulation. In his talkhe used Gordon Craig and David Bel-asco as contrasting examples butstressed the point that both were re¬actionaries from the old artificial typeof scene design.Page Twoiatlg iiar00nFOUNDED IN 1901THE OFFICIAL STUDENT NEWSPAPER OF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOPublished morninKS, except Saturday, Sunday and Monday, during the AutumnWinter and Springs quarters by The Daily Maroon Company, 6831 University Ave.Subscription rates $3.00 per year; by mail, $1.50 per year extra.

ThompsonTHE SECOND RATE OUTFITSaturday night the basketball team stepped into the Bartlettlimelight, an underrated, under supported outfit, and emerged forthe second consecutive time a victor. While the margin of thescore was the narrowest possible in both cases, the fact that the teamwon is in no way narrowed. It is a wonder that a team was thereat all even to play, that five men held out to the finish, that fivemen could be found to hold out to the finish and retain a one pointlead.From every angle the five men and the meager squad awaitingan emergency call from the bench are not athletes. They camehere to study and to prepare for something besides a conferencepennant. From the outset a definite set of standards never per¬mitted them to become what in the common sense is supposed tobe an athlete. Chicago is not an athletic institution and none ofher sons are intended to travel along paths not blazed by someintellectual predecessor. When a team wins, it is because of su¬perior effort and superior morale, not because of any inherent abil¬ity in physical combat.They all began with that set of ideas built around them. Basket¬ball is a sport played for diversion, not for publicity or honor. Andthey have abided by that opinion or they would never have beenon the team. Victory had no support from anywhere; only de¬feat had plenty of support. There was a bad football season—ac¬curately predicted to be bad by the press before even the first blowof the whistle. When football was over and Chicago had run true topredictions, the prophets of the press converted their forecasts fromgridiron to basketball possibilities.The team was going to be a second rate outfit. Everybody ex¬pected it, except a few loyal fraternity men who had friends orbrothers on the squad. When the practice season was over, theteam was still a second rate outfit despite several victories whichlooked alarmingly good. After Indiana, the all-powerful, fell theteam was lucky—so they all said—but still retained its invinciblegrip on that lower berth division. Now Saturday is over, and Chi¬cago can be accused of gross treason for allowing a team like thatto be so mathematically accurate in upsetting mathematical predic¬tions.The remarkable feature of the whole story is that Chicagois and always will be a second rate outfit for itself and for thepress. Unless an allowance in class work is made for the athletes,they cannot be expected to do their best; unless the eyes of theschool are focused on athletics, a something which is entirely out oftune with the rest of sing-song here, very little can be expectedin the way of material; and unless five men and their substitutescan be found who are willing to overcome those hundred-to-oneodds, there would not even be a team.But somehow or other the men have been found, the sorrow ofpast tragedies has been overcome, the squad has found time forstudying, and the team has eased itself temporarily into first place.Despite the odium connected with the mere mention of a moralvictory, this has been one moral victory which can be termed justthat with full justification. Whether the impossible has been ac¬complished by some secret magic unknown to other sports orwhether the wonder has come about by an unexpected coincidence,the determination and the hard work of the men who turned thetrick is to be appreciated and duly respected. Second class ath¬letes, all of them, »ut first class leaders in wading through the im¬possible.The press and every other intelligent dopester should figurethat this is too good to be true, that the team can’t stand the pace,that in a little while they will run true to form. Why shouldn’tthey? It is the squad’s duty. They are here to study, not to win.

They begin to doubt, crit¬icize, and tear down. They realia®the futility of praying to a God whomay not be there.”Russians Have Opiate IdeaProf. Meiklejohn maintained thatevery human experience has threefactors. They are, first, the emo¬tional view of life which includesfeeling the need for religion; second,the intellect which is thinking of acertain sort; and third, what we ac¬tually do in certain situations. Ofthese three factors the emotional fac¬tor is most important.“The Russians say that religion isthe opiate of the people,’’ Prof. Meik¬lejohn explained. “I do not believethat' IS true religion.“Religion is the worship and ador¬ation of the mind found in poetry.If we accept religion as true, it isessential that we should not forgetthe human attitude and commonsense that men of the world need toregulate their affairs. You’ve got touse the clay, grass, and rock of poet¬ry for human purposes.”“The achievement of human pur¬poses in itself is no religion,” Prof.Meiklejohn reminded the students,“and you’ve got to have a convictionof your own. The essential troublewith our American thinkers is sim¬ply that they do not care enoughto make a thing go.”Prof. Meiklejohn lauded the uni¬versity students for studying a sub¬ject that seemed to them worthstudying, and although no one re¬ceived grades or diplomas, he con¬sidered his address a sort of com-?Which is bigger — the air¬plane’s landing wheel or thesetting sun?

At least that’s what ErnestErickson thinks.Ernest has been the city dog-catcher for only the past year. He^as been a faithful worker—in fact,all too faithful. Day after day, hehas gone on his rounds about Evans¬ton streets and boulevards, pickingup stray dogs of every description.Poodles, daschunds, hounds, and ter¬riers—Ernest got them all. Onlyregularly licensed and muzzled ca¬nines escaped his vigilant eye.Yesterday the finance committeeof the city council announced thatthere would be no further appropria¬tion for dogcatching.

Presley William IngersollAlonzo Beal Kemble KnightSteve Bromm E. N. JohnstoneSpencer Dazey Luke ConnessMayme Mixter Elsie KeeneCynthia Tate Jennette DowlingAndrew McKaig ....Thomas ShearerIt cannot be said of “Ladies of theJury” that its comedy is in the mod¬ern vein of subtlety. Its pattern ismore of the '1910 vintage. And thehokum is substantially what the the¬atre-goers of a previous generation en¬joyed and laughed at.But this is a show bearing the pres¬ence of one of the grand troupers ofthe theatre. Mrs. Fiske, for all hersixty-five years, is a happy bustlingfigure amidst all the excitement of ajur>' which is attempting to return averdict in a murder case. Fifty years•of ■“irouping” has mellowed her act¬ing. There is practically no effort,no exertion evident as she movesthrough the action of the play.Mrs. Fiske’s presence is of greatvalue to “Ladies of the Jury” for thesituations are a trifle “bald” and onlya consummate artist as Mrs. Fiskemakes most of them agreeably divert¬ing. Patterned as a comedy, the playhas a thick streak of hokum runningthrough it, and while I find hokumamusing now and then as a contrastto the more current fashion of sophis¬ticated comedy, it requires superb act¬ing to last an evening. Fortunately,the action of the play revolves mostlyaround the antics of Mrs. Fiske andI need not say more than that she im¬parts to her role a lightness and suav¬ity that is quite charming.To Mrs. Fiske falls the task, as oneof the jury which is trying a hand¬some young lady for murder, to con¬vince her fellow jurors that the ac¬cused is innocent. When the first bal¬lot is taken after the jury has beenlocked up, Mrs. Fiske is the only onewho votes not guilty. From there on,it becmes her task to convince the re¬maining eleven that her judgment isthe correct one. And so throughmost ingenious methods, she swingsthe jury to her side. The best of the■comedy resides in the last two actswhen the jury files out of the court¬room. for with an impasse at handof eleven votes to one, it remains tobe seen what the final result will be.The methods of Mrs. Fiske, in win¬ning her eleven opponents over, areamusingly well developed. The au¬thor’s ingenuity has stretched here andthere plausibility but then this is oldfashioned comedy and as such weyoungsters should be properly for-giving.It is well, if you are in search ofgood acting, to remember that Mrs.Fiske is in the play. .\nd Mrs. Fiskehas her at her finger-tips. The oth¬ers have a little yet to learn, but fortheir years they are capable. On thewhole Mrs. Fiske and a well-balancedcompany is not an undesirable com¬bination.Maroon SwimmersLose Hard-FoughtMeet to GophersHandicapped by the requirementsof the new and longer distances re¬cently approved by the conference, thesmall Maroon swimming squad lost ahard-fought meet to the powerful Min¬nesota team Friday night in Bartlettpool. The final score was 49-25.Chicago lost a chance to score afirst in the 400 yard relay when Cap¬tain Don Moore, leading in the lastlap, was seized with a cramp andforced to break his stroke, finishingin second place by only a foot. TheMaroons accounted for a second anda third in the breast-stroke event.Coach McGillivray’s swimmers scor¬ed an unexpected victory in the med¬ley relay. Brislen and McMahongained a lead in the back-stroke andbreast, which MacMillan held to thefinish. Oker, Maroon dash ace, wasnot sufficiently recovered from the100-yard free style to compete in the220.According to the system of scor¬ing used, five points are awarded fora first place, three for second, and onefor third. “The score does not givean adequate idea of the closeness ofthe competition.”HcMTie dual meets are scheduled•with Ohio State, January 31, andTowa, February 21.

The start¬ling fact that 36 per cent of themare reducing their weight by dietingwas revealed. The statistics of theinvestigation were compared withthe “I Q.’s” that the girls wrote uponentering the college. In all casesthe girls that received the lowestgrades on the quizz were the oneswho were living the most unhealth¬ful and unwise lives. The followingare a few paragraphs which showthe facts of the investigation and re¬veal that studying pays.“Teh more intelligent of the co-edsspent more time each week in extracurricular activities than,their moredull classmates.“While both groups use candy inabout equal quantities, only 50 percent of the low ranking students eatfruit each day, as compared to the75 per cent in the other grroup.”—Los Angeles Junior Collegian.
