MAROON NINE PLAYSTWO PRACTICE TILTSMeet Mills and Firemen- Before BadgerGameIn way of preparation for theirfinal conference game of the seasonwith Wisconsin at Madison Saturday,Coach Pat Page’s Maroons will en¬gage the Mills semi-pro team thisafternoon and the Chicago Firementomorrow on Greenwood field. Bothgames will be at 3:30.Rain on Friday and Saturdaymade it impossible for the Chicago-Indiana and the Illinois-Northwest¬ern games to be played, and as a re¬sult the Maroons and the Illini arestill tied for the Big Ten lead witheight wins and two defeats. Illinoishas completed its schedule, since itsrained out games with Northwesternand Ohio cannot be played over. TheMaroons face only one more obstaclein their drive for the championship,Wisconsin. A defeat will give Illi¬nois the championship.Two Other GainesThe two other games scheduled forthe final week of conference base¬ball will bring together Wisconsinand Minnesota, and Indiana andMichigan, on Wednesday, In theevent that Michig^an defeats Indianathe Wolves will be tied with North¬western for third place in the BigTen race, with six wins and threedefeats.In two baseball games played overthe weekend, the Chicago freshmenbeat the Varsity reserves, 7-5, and18-10.The first game marked the defeatof Pat Page as a pitcher. In the in¬itial inning hits by Lewis and Jacob¬son produced one run, and in thesecond frame the first year mencounted seven hits for eight runs,Comerford singled to start the inn¬ing. Ratner was out, pitcher tofirst. An error by Houston put PatPage, Jr, on base and advanced Com¬erford. The freshman pitcher,Straske, made the second out. Singlesby Gill, Decker, Jacobson, Beeks,a triple by Comerford and a singleby Page brought the number of runsto eight before Pat Page caught hisson off first for the last out. Pageretired from the game at the endof the third inning after he had al¬lowed two more hits. Nelson fin¬ished the game for the reseives, al¬lowing the freshmen eight hits fornine runs.

With first places distrib¬uted equally between the two teams,Minnesota clinched the meet with itsnumerous places in five of the four¬teen events: the javelin, the polevault, the discus, the 880, and thetwo mile. The Maroons scored heav¬ily in three events: Calkins, Moore,and Cliver finishing in the ordernamed in the 220; Brooks and Carl¬son counting a first and a third re¬spectively in the 120 yard low hurd¬les; and Brooks and Moore runningfirst and second in the 100.Other Chicago point winners werePerlis, victor in the 440; Yamall,first in the high jump; Tuttle, bestin the shot; Harris, third in the 880;Johnson and Gaebe, second and thirdin the mile; Goldberg, third in thetwo mile; and Whittier, second inthe discus. Brooks, by far the out¬standing member of the team, hasscored ten firsts and two thirds intwelve starts. He is yet to be de¬feated in either the 220 yard lowhurdles, his specialty, or the broadjump. Last week Fuqua of Indianaled the Maroon sprinter in the 100with the remarkable time of 9.7.Thus far the Maroon Freshmanteam, weaker than that of last year,has won one and lost two of theirtelegraphic meets. Purdue was de¬feated 65 2-3 to 56 1-3, but Indianaone week later smothered the Chi¬cago outfit by a score of 101 to 25. HUTCHINS RECEIVESDEGREE FROM BEREAGives Convocation TalkBefore Ninety-FourGraduatesThe honorary degree of LI. D. wasconferred on President Robert M.Hutchins by his father, William L.Hutchins, president of Berea College,Kentucky, at the annual Berea com¬mencement yesterday. PresidentHutchins delivered the convocationaddress which was broadcasted overan NBC network.Sir William Grenfell, noted ex¬plorer, was also awarded the honor¬ary degree of LI. D. Degrees ofB. A. and B. S. were conferred onninety-four graduating students atBerea College.Commends Berea’s WorkPresident Hutchins stressed theimportance of Berea College to thee4ucational world and to the peopleof the United States. He commendedthe particular work that the collegehas done in its seventy-five years ofexistence. In part he said:“Today Berea stands unshakenand still progressive, with great les¬sons for those that come to studyhere. Everybody knows that an ig¬norant democracy cannot last long.Everybody knows that a democracyrequires intelligent leaders. Theeconomic situation is world-wide,and strikes at democracies and mon¬archies, alike. The difficulty is notwith democracy, but with people.The question is whether people canever be brought to such a pitch ofintelligence as to cope under anyform of government with the forcesthey have liberated.”Picture* New AtlantUAfter describing the Utopia ofFrancis Bacon’s “Utopia”, PresidentHutchins said:“This to Francis Bacon wasUtopia, a land of dreams to whichwti! could never attain, a land toogood to be true. He was wrong. TheNew Atlantis did come true. We areliving in it. We have more informa¬tion, more means of getting more in¬formation, more means of distribut¬ing information, and more practicalapplications of the information wehave secured than Francis Bacon inhis wildest imaginings could havepredicted . .

The Phi B.D.’s made two runs in the first inn¬ing, and by making 15 hits to theA. T. O.’s 5, kept their lead through¬out the game although the contestwasn’t decided until the last A.

Throughout the game, a singlewas almost as good an U triple, be¬cause if a man could only get to firsthe could always steal second andthird, and perhaps sneak home onsome error. It was mainly the pitch¬ing of Wattenberg and bal Pattthat kept the score as low as it was.(Continued on page 4) Wins Conference TitleScott Rexinger, Maroon tenniscaptain, who captured Big Ten sin¬gle* chainpion*hip for *econd con-*ecutive year.Anniversary, FieldEvents on ProgramFor Alumni WeekFestivities Will Usher in164th ConvocationServicesAlumni Week will inaugurate itsannual program of festivities Thurs¬day night at the Phi Beta Kappadinner, where Professor Henry S.Bennett and Professor FrederickIves of Cambridge will address thecampus honor scholars, including theforty newly elected members of thesociety.The first anniversary dinner ofthe week will be held at the ChicagoWoman's club Monday, by the Schoolof Social Service Administration.On Tuesday, women students andalumnae will present a day of wom¬en’s athletics, with W.

REXINGER STARS ASMAROON NETMEN WINCONFERENCE TTIIESWin Singles and DoublesChampionships at' Ohio StateSTAGG, RIES LOSECapture Two Crowns forThird ConsecutiveYearThe Maroon tennis team for thethird successive year brought hometwo individual championships Sundayfrom the three day Western confer¬ence meet in Columbus, Ohio, whenScott Rexinger romped through the! singles and, paired with HerbertHeyman, won the doubles title. Itwas the second successive year thatRexinger figured in both individualchampionships, and the third that hehad reached the finals of the singles.In winning the titles this year,Rexinger played some of the great¬est tennis of his career. On Thurs¬day he defeated Goodsitt, numberone man from Wisconsin, 6-0, 8-1,and Clarke, of Michigan, 6-1, 6-0.Friday he overcame Britzius, secondman of Minnesota for 6-3, 6-2,and Riel, first man from Northwest¬ern, 6-2, 6-1, 6-2. In the finals Sat¬urday, Carl Dennison of Ohio Stateoffered Rexinger his most seriousopposition, losing, however, instraight sets, 6-2, 6-3, 8-6.U*ed Waiting GameIn the final match Rexinger exhib¬ited a change in strategy from thedual meet encounter in which Den¬nison carried him to three sets. In¬stead of attempting to gain the net,Scott waited until his forcing shotsmade opportunities. Even at that,Dennison managed to pass him atnet more than once.Only eight teams were entered inthe doubles, and one of these, Pur¬due, composed of Buck and White,defaulted in the first round to OhioState, with Dennison and WillardJames.

Dennison missed a kill at thenet, however, and from then on theMaroons had the upper hand. Rex¬inger won his service and they brokethrough the opponents’ service forvictory, 9-7.. In the final set, theMaroons secured an early lead towin the set and match, 7-5.Meeting Riel and Dodge of North¬western in the finals, the Maroonswiped out a previous defeat at thehands of the Purple by winning instraight sets, 6-2, 6-3, 7-5.

ThompsonTHE ALUMNI REUNIONIt is the general opinion that when a group of alumni return,as they periodically do, they get together for the express purposeof packing into a few days the more boisterous elements of theirformer college days. We are led to believe that the sum total oftheir short visit to the “dear old Alma Mater” is a good time of avery high specific gravity, usually found in ball games, juvenilepranks, and general male and female roundups (the former to thetune of “Sweet Adeline”). While this estimate may characterizea certain portion of the annual reunions, there is unquestionably an¬other side to the affair which the average undergraduate misses inthe cynicism that bubbles up within his breast prior to graduation.No doubt, the person on the verge of adding “A.B.” or “Ph.B.” tohis name, finds little sympathy with five or six hundred people whowere once in the same situation as he, but now have forgotten every¬thing except the halo of sentiment that is supposed to surround col¬lege life. He feels that sentiment is the least of the emotions thataccompany graduation, being superceded in ninety-nine percent ofthe cases by worries in regard to the future. To him it is a thornin the side that several hundred well-anchored and complacent cit¬izens return to cut capers on the lawn while he, after four years oflabor, wrinkles his forehead in perplexity.Be that as it may, the picture is somewhat distorted. After all,the alumni have somewhat of a claim to their share of the fun.Despite ♦heir good advice on how to win conference honors in foot¬ball, on how to save money, and how to keep the books of fraternalorganizations from being inscribed with too much red, they havebeen essential factors in the growth of the institution. They are, infact, the sole means whereby education and the desire for educationare being perpetuated.As each succeeding class leaves the University, it cannot helpbut feel that education today is as necessary to success, both mentaland material, as food. And so the next generation is given the oppor¬tunity to follow in the footsteps of its predecessor. The sons anddaughters of the alumni are therefor given the same opportunity bytheir parents as they themselves had. Gradually the circle of edu¬cational prestige grows in diameter, and the purposes for which uni¬versities and colleges were founded come to realization.Not only that. Increasing numbers of students demand in¬creased educational equipment and means. Universities are gainingin size until each is a veritable city in itself. These tremendousstrides require an equally sizeable financial backing to guaranteetheir continuity. Agajn the alumni come annually to the rescue,contributing and supporting to keep alive the structure that helpedthem. As we said before, they are the sole means of perpetuatingtrue education.Being the life blood of their respective institutions they havean undisputed right to see once a year the fruit of their efforts. Ifthe panorama is favorable, they respond in a greater degree. Ifcorrections or additions are needed, their response is just as enthus¬iastic.Under such circumstances, the frivolity of the reunions is par¬donable to even the sourest cynic. Were the reunions for no otherpurpose than sheer fun, they could still be pardoned on the groundsthat it is not every day that one has the opportunity to associate withpeople who are on an equal intellectual level, and who have had thesame education. A few years in the outside world will be enoughto ’convince anyone that reunions should probably be held morefrequently than they are.In a few days, the local heroes of bygone days will assemble.In many respects the undergraduates will help in preparations.Should the more supercilious grumble, they might $it least considerall the factors first . . . .

TUESDAY. JUNE 2. 1931on OF PUYINCCARDS TRACED TOOLD MAGICAL RITESThe story of playing cards fromstrange magical rites to divinationpracticed by primitive man, curiousKorean cards, paper making in China,the first printing in Europe, religiouscards printed by an early Americanprinter, is told in a volume presentedto the University of Rochester Li¬brary recently by the United States iPlaying Card Company. |The idea of games seems to go |back as far as the history of man ihimself, and the early history of the iancestors of the cards of today islost in dim antiquity. The century |following Marco Polo’s return from jhis joumeyings in those unknown Ilands in the Far East finds playing Icards seemingly well established as ,a commonly accepted diversion in jItaly and Germany and Switzerland, |in Spain and France and Flanders.There is little grimness in the his¬tory of playing cards, the authorfinds, for the very purpose of thecards is pleasure. Yet their verypurpose has frequently brought themunder ban, only to make them moresought for and pleasurable.The only cards that have comedown to our time to substantiatefourteenth century records are somewhich were painted for Charles VI ofFrance in 1392. These are symbolictarots, supposedly introduced bywandering, fortune-telling gypsies.Fifty years later we find characteris¬tic cards of France and Germany jmade from wood blocks, among the jearliest and most interesting wood- Iblock prints of Europe.. There are |lovely cards from the foremost!German engravers at the end of the :century, and a few years later many ;a gentle brother, seeing the wide dis-1tribution of these “cards for play-1ing,” devised similar cards with not,only the alluring and familiar suit isigns, but bearing also pictures, sothat the happy user might be in¬structed in heraldry, geography, his- |tory, and even in logic and law. BOOTLEGGERS ATU. OF W. PROSPER,SURVEY SHOWSI Liquor conditions around the Uni-' versity of Wisconsin can best be! judged by the number of healthy and! ifinancially happy bootleggers oper-' ated near the campus, according toI the Daily Cardinal, student paper, re¬ports as follows:I Within four blocks of the women’s! dormitories, there is a well-pation-! ized whisper-low run by a collegegirl—a junior in the letters and sci¬ence college, who has been character¬ized as “the queen of Madison boot¬leggers.’’ She is pretty, vivaciousgirl of 20 years, a hard worker, whoaids substantially in the support ofher family, according to many stu¬dents who have indulged in the Soc-ratic discussions in her back room.It is also the favorite hangout fornumerous university professors andinstructors.Instructors Also IndulgeThe English department of theUniversity of Wisconsin makes itsback-room headquarters within astone’s throw of the place listedabove, according to several promin-j ent instructors. There they indulgej in Shakespeare, Malaga wine, spiked] beer, and home brew while a few' of the hardier members satisfy their! palate with alleged Gordon gin.j Others found by this reporter arej along State street, and here is foundthe really heavy competition for thestudent trade. It is at these placesthat the Joe Colleges hold sway intrue campus fashion—and where itis considered good form and mildbragging to get severely “tight” ona glass of psychological beer.Speakeasies More ExpensiveThere are, of course, numerousspeakeasies within auto distance ofthe campus where the young bloodsgo for dinner, dance, and liquor.However, these places are too expen¬sive for the average student.At several of the speakeasies ques¬tioned, the net income ranges from$100 to $175 per week. Many placesrun under this figure, but the generalaverage, it is shown by this investi¬gation, finds a division of profits andbusiness fairly equal.

They hold the idea that pub¬licity is the greatest moral force inthe world, and that power of pub¬licity wielded by the newspapersshould be devoted to the public wel¬fare. In the words of the late JoesnhPulitzer, it ought to be used to“fight predatory wealth and prefa¬tory poverty.”“There are newspapers, to be sure,which gain public confidence andsupport by public service, but that isa slow pocess, not in ‘accord withmodem business methods. Quick re¬turns are wanted. Please everybody.Offend nobody. Give the public news—the news that in the opinion of theproprietor and his subservient staffthe people ought to have. What at¬tracts and pleases the public now-days? Entertainment, of course. Con¬sider the theatre. The legitimatedrama is passing and giving away tovaudeville and the movies—light,frothy, sensational, suggestive, andentertaining. So with the newspaper.Give the public catchy features,comics, fiction, scandals, pictures,particularly of half-nude women, con¬tributions with big names. Like everyother business, the newspaper fol¬lows the economic law of quantityproduction. The syndicates supply thequantity. Individuality and convistionare antiquated.“W'hen a rich man comes into pos- I session of a newspaper he may notI have any background of culture orI experience, but he wants to enjoy theI prestige and standing of editor.! Naturally, he wants to print the kind! of newspaper he likes and his richi friends like. He hires talent to doI the work to his taste. He doesn’tI want his newspaper to injure his ownj or his friends’ interests, whateverI they may be. He does not want hisI newspaper to be obnoxious to theround table of his club, where he andprobably his better paid editorsgather. In the mellow atmosphere ofhis club it seems foolish to pay at-I tention to the inequities that oppressthe common people, or to feed theirdissatisfactions and aspirations. Itseems foolish to attack the interestsof respectable men of wealth and in¬fluence who are shrewd enough andstrong enough to profit by privilegei and exploitation. They are the leadersi and pillars of our social and economicsystem. The money making game isthe chief end of man. Ideals andethics are the illusions of the irre¬sponsible and unsuccessful.“The fighting editor? Bah! Themission of journalism—humbug! Thecode of ethics—an admirable gesture!Circulation, advertising, profits—these are substantial, worth-while! ends and rewards of the newspaperI business of today.”—George S. Johns,I associate editor of the St. LouisI Post-Dispatch, in the Bulletin of theI American Society of NewspaperEditors.Y .M.C.A.
