After having begun the job,they were amazed at the amount of labor it en¬tailed, but finished it, and finished it well.Last year, the franchise being presumably inthe possession of the same organization, the menof the group began work preparatory to publica¬tion, were discouraged, and gave it up.

The suspicion has arisen among some mem¬bers of the department of physical culture andathletics that The Daily Maroon is merely thecat’s-paw in a subterranean plot against them,hatched by the Intramural department. Such isby no means the case.The Daily Maroon has always admired the effi¬ciency and dispatch with which the Intramural de¬partment conducts a program of all sports for allmen in the University, without charge to anyof the men participating. We have also admiredthe fact that this program is operated at an aver¬age cost of about ten dollars per man participat- iing per year, in sharp contrast with some of thesports which, bringing little or no income, costabout one hundred dollars per man per quarter.We have been of the opinion that money spenton the development of Intramural sports bringsfar better returns than most of the other annualexpenditures indulged in by the athletic depart- !ment. We have been especially pleased by the jfact that, although no compulsion is indulged in jby the Intramural department, nevertheless thedepartment has come close to the realization of iits aim, “Athletics for all.” We see, in the successof the Intramural department, what is perhaps oneof the strongest arguments against an^ sort ofcompulsion in physical culture.Nevertheless, we are not the Intramural depart- ;ment’s agents in propagandizing for placing phy¬sical culture on an optional basis, nor in any othermatter. The Travelling BazaarBY FRANK HARDINGTHE OFFICIAL UNDERGRADUATE“DIRECTORY”Though we perhaps should have mentioned thissome time ago, nevertheless the fact remains thatthe current edition of the Official UndergraduateDirectory is as poor a job as any reference workthat it has been our fortune to come into contactwith. Names are misspelled or omitted entirely,addresses and phone numbers are in error, andhome addresses of men and women living oncampus—for which the directory of two years agowas particularly valuable—are given in no case.A bit of the Directory’s history is illuminatingin a consideration of its present faults. Threeyears ago, and for some time before that, an en¬tirely unofficial “Club and Fraternity ” Directorywas issued merely as a private enterprise. It con- ;tained the names of only those undergraduates iwho belonged to clubs and fraternities, and itsinformation was secured by the distribution ofcards to be filled out to each fraternity and club. ;It was surprisingly accurate, considering the man- ,ner in which its information was gathered.

But Mr. Stagg’s (Senior) foot¬ball lads tears it up every after¬noon. Which doesn’t help thebounces a bit. A team picked from the combinedforces of the freshmen and alumniwill test the strength of the varsitytrack squad Saturday afternoon at2:30 in the field house. Coach NedMerriam, (whose varsity team en¬counters its first competition in thisengagement, expects a good meetto result from the annual affair,for both the freshmen and the Ma¬roon cinder men have come H7-oundrapidly during the last few weeks,and several outstanding alumni willbe on hand to speed up the compe¬tition.In the sprints, which promise tobe the most closely contested eventsin the meet, Wallace, Brooks, Cal¬kins, and Ramsay will be lined upagainst Bud East, captain of lastyear’s team, and Brand of the alum¬ni, and Taussig and Block of thefirst year men. In practice, the pastweek, all four of the varsity menhave run very close to one anotlKi,at around 6.4 over the 60 yard route.Captain Roy Black should have lit¬tle trouble in winning the 75 yardhigh hurdles, but he will be pushedconsiderably by Brooks in the lowsticks. Ted Haydon, Roberts, Tres.s-ler, and Holtsberg are also schedul¬ed to represent the Maroons in thehighs while Pete Zimmer may aug¬ment the varsity contingent in thelow hurdles. Peterson and Fairbankrepre.sent the freshmen in both hur¬dle races.Jontry Best in 440Jerry Jontry is the best of thevarsity 440 men and wdll probablytake the event. However, he willreceive plenty of competition fromSam Perlis, and A1 Summers, if thelatter is in condition. Hal Haydon.captain of the Chicago teani in 1929,will turn the quarter into a real raceif he runs, Berns is the only fresh¬man in the event.Moore and Nicholson, who haveturned in the best times in the halfso far will fight it out in their spe¬cialty with Waldenfelds, Lourie andNewman of the varsity, and HaroldSimon and Lawrie of the frosh. Incase Dale Letts, Intercollegiatechampion of last year, decides torun, the race will turn into a timetrial for him while the other con¬testants will give up any hope ofwinning. Letts unofTicially broketwo Bartlett gym records in the lasttwo w’eeks, running the mile in4:19.1 and the half is 1:54.3 on theboard track.Jim Simon, Grobe, and Johnsonwill represent the varsity in the milerun, and as few times have beentaken of these men, little can besaid as to their relative merits.

Freshmen CagersMeet Ponies^ I-MChampions TodayA Freshman basketball team un¬der the leadership of “Englewood”Patterson meets the Ponies, Intra¬mural cage champions last year, ina game this afternoon at 3:00 inthe field house. The game appearsa.s the high spoc of this week’s prac¬tice, and is a part of Coacn PatPage’s programs of pointing his menfor the annual Freshman-Sopho¬more game to take place February5.Led by Patterson, captain of En¬glewood’s team last year and one ofthe most promising of Coach Page’smen, the squad composed of Flynn,Storey, Ellis, Ayres, and Cullenwill have trouble in downing thePonies, who were easily the classof last year’s (Intramural tourna¬ment. However, the freshmen arerangy and fast, and play togethersmoothly.Patterson’s squad is one of fiveinto which the Freshman candidateshave been divided. The teams areof fairly equal strength, outstandingmen having been distributed throughthem. Most of the practice sessionsso far have been devoted to scrim¬mages between these squads, withoccasional games with the varsityor the varsity, reserves.In practices so fai’, several menhave stood out, and will probablybe the choices for starting positionsin the Freshman-Sophomore games.These men are Patterson, Storey,Lovett, Cole, and Cullen. Althoughthe fre.shman team this year has notthe height of last year’s aggrega¬tion, their smooth playing and fastbreaking offense will give the soph¬omores a good deal of competition.Name Governors forInternational House(Continued from page 1)of the University are ex-officiomembers of the board.The International House is thethird of its kind in the country allowing their exi.stence to Jol.n D.Rockefeller, who established thefirst house at New York on the cam¬pus of Columbia University, and thesecond at Berkeley, California.'I, ■» —Local electric transportation sys¬tems in tli6 country supplied theequivalent of 113 rides for everyperson in the United States in 19ol.

The final selection was“the W^oman who Lived in a Shoe”,as Edgar Guest, “the unci’ownedlaureate” of America, would havewritten it. Mr, Untermeyer read thisas a tribute to the “most accomplish¬ed assembling plant in America”,one who could turn out, much thesame as a linoleum factory, threeor four new patterns every day.In the serious part of the lecture,of which Mr. Untermeyer made the |audience aware, the poet discussed ithe new mo/ement in poetry. The jfir.st characteristic is a simplication iot language in place of the archaicdiction of myth and legend whichis so far away from our own experi¬ence. Another is the simplificationof the subject of a poem. WaltWhitman in his eulogization of thecommonplace, and his glorificationof the incidental was the initiatorof this movement.
