Vol. 34. No. 21. UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO. THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 2, 1933 Price Three CenUThe GreeksHave a Word—By ROBERT ALVAREZPOLITICSSpeaking of fraternity politics andstuff, we’ve seen more of it aroundhere in the last few days than at anyother time in our three odd (veryodd) years around here. In otherwords we mean the Senior ClassPresidency election which will bedecided today.Things began to take shape lastThursday, even before all the nom¬inating petitibns were in. Andspeaking of the petitions, there wasa little confusion t here. Petitionsfor Hal Wegner, Wally Montgomeryand John Thomson were turned inat noon Friday, but upon checkingthem over it was found that aboutsix men signed two of the threelists; these six names were scratch¬ed off both lists, leaving Montgom¬ery with 23 names, W’egner with 24,and Thomson with 25.I.jist year the same thing happen¬ed to Joe Zoline but he was givenuntil 2:30 of the next day to bringhis petition to the required number.This year such an opportunity wasdenied, so Montgomery and Wegnerwere disqualified, although theycould easily have secured the addi¬tional signers if they •‘had knownthat one or two were lacking. “American Dream” MakesChicago Premiere Tonightin Reynolds Club TheaterPlay Shocked CriticsWhen Produced inNew YorkTHE CANDIDATESLast year the candidates managedtheir own campaigns, but this yearthey all have managers. Frank Carris Rapp’s manager and he has linedup an “organization,” consisting ofDeke, Psi U, Alpha Delt, Phi Psi, andChi Psi. With this crew behind him,the Rapp supporters appear to bequite confident of victory. Carr•said Monday that he knew of 168votes for his candidate, but we can’tsee how’ he reached that conclusion.The core of the “organization” isthe Owl and Serpent society, whichadmittedly is a power on campus;each of the above named houseshaving two men in 0 and S, out ofa total of fourteen members.But we fear Frank is basing toomuch of his optimism on the repu¬tation of those five hou.ses since theissue will be decided by numbers.Speaking of numbers, Thomson’smanager says he has figured it outthat there are 65 or 70 seniors inthe smaller houses, compared toabout 50 in the larger ones, and onesenior gets one vote though he bethe biggest of B. M. 0. C.’sTurning to the second candidacy,we have a comparative unknown.One prominent senior tells us thathe asked twelve other seniors who“this guy Thomson” was andcouldn’t get an answ'er. But Johnhas been spending most of his timeover in the School of Business, hav¬ing entered Chicago in his sopho¬more year. Hobart Gunning, hismanager, says Thomson was nom¬inated mainly because it was thoughthe could swing the Business school;they remembered how last yearCharles Matthews, an unknown PhiKappa Sigma in the Business school,was nominated and just missed thepresidency by ten votes, coming inahead of the Deke Bob Balsley byten votes. Gunning seems to havethe smaller houses lined up for hisman; the Alpha Sigs, Phi Kappa Sig¬mas, Kappa Sigs, Lambda Chis,Tekes, Sigma Nus, Phi Pi Phis, Delts,Betas, ATO’S, and Sig Chis are thehouses he’s counting on. The SAE’s■with 14 seniors, the Phi Gams with10, and another large senior delega¬tion from the Phi Delts are in themiddle, deliberating and undecided,as we go to press.The third candidacy is that ofMarv Bargeman who has been lin¬ing up the other Jewish houses. Andfrom a study of the last two years’campaigns, and from the fact thatthey will stick together to a man, itseems that Bargeman must be con¬ceded the edge in the betting. Hismanager has also been lining upsome of the independent votes. Tonight will see the DramaticAssociation embarking upon a newcourse, when members of the Asso¬ciation present the Chicago premiereGeorge O’Neil’s “AmericanofDream,” in the Reynolds Club The¬ater. University playgoers will havetheir first chance to see the play sinceit stirred and shocked New Yorkcritics last February. Performanceswill also be given tomorrow and Sat¬urday nights. Frank Hurburt O’Harais in charge of the dramatic produc¬tion.The play is a trilogy and three sep¬arate casts are required. Eighteenpersons take part in the third actalone. However, Georg Mann, whohas the leading part, appears in twodifferent roles in the first and thirdacts, first as the Daniel Pingree of1650, and then as* the Daniel Pingreeof 1933. Lois Cromwell, the studentdirector, also has two parts.Unusual EffectaSeveral unusual effects both instaging and acting will be apparenttonight. First of all, the action takesplace in the living room of the samehouse throughout the play, but threedifferent periods, 1650, 1849, and1933 are represented.In the third act, a cross-section ofmodern society is presented in theform of a huge house party. People [from all walks of life make an ap¬pearance. Probably the unique char-1acter in this or any other play is |Harry, “an Indian,” played by MaxFeinberg. Milt Olin appears as Lind-ley P. Carver, a negro poet.An interesting sidelight is the“feud” between Robert Chapel andCharles Nicola in the role of a drunk¬en professor. Because neither excelsthe other appreciably, they are rota¬ting in the part, but are still fight¬ing it out for the opening night.Make Cast ChangesSeveral changes in the original ca.sthave been made for tonight. PhilWhite is to be the Puritan father,Roger Pingree, in the first act. IxiisCromwell takes the role of Sarah Cul¬ver, a novelist, in the third act, in SIGNIFICANT LIVING ISMAN’S EDUCATIONALGOAL - MEIKLEJOHNSignificant living, man’s controland transformation of material con¬ditions and situations, is the educa¬tional goal named by AlexanderMeiklejohn, professor of Philosophyat the University of Wisconsin, inhis lecture in Mandel hall yesterday.Professor Meiklejohn thus discussedthe hostile code of civilization whichhe contends is the cause of the pre¬vention of the achievement of edu¬cational goals.■ “Man is an artist in dealing withhis life; he is like a poet lu rela¬tion to his words,” the lecturer saidas he interpreted a quotation fromthe works of the Irish poet, JamesStevens. “No man lives significantlywho cannot change life, even griefand human despair, to a thing of!beauty.” A life is significant whichshows artistry and the mastery ofsituations.Profe.ssor Meiklejohn listed Christ,Spinoza, and from contemporaryAmerica, John Dewey, as men whoselives have been significant. He alsoincluded Louis Brandeis, Jane Ad-dams, and former Justice OliverWendell Holmes in his list.The greatest enemies of signifi¬cant living are organized conven¬tional religion and science and in-du.stry. The former, while it may bea helper and vehicle, is the foe ofthe prophet. The latter tends to de¬personalize life and treat of humansas meie circumstances. Postpone VocationalLecture on MedicineThe vocational lecture on medi¬cine, sponsored by the Board ofVocational Guidance and Place¬ment, originally scheduled for thisafternoon, will be given tomorrowat 3:30 in Pathology 119.

Rapp: “It seems onlyfitting that this last great class un¬der the old plan should mark itspassing with some type or a me¬morial. A great stone bull wouldnot be out of place. My campaignslogan, “Rapp out the old and Rappin the new with Rapp,” expresses myfeelings perfectly.

Still¬man Frankland, an unknown in theBusiness School, Paul Stephenson,Joe Temple, and Bernie Wien were(Continued on page 3) The freshman class of Columbiacollege in a questionnaire conductedby The Spectator, student dailynewspaper of Columbia University,declared a liking for 3.2 beer anda preference for a Phi Beta Kappakey rather than a varsity letter. Theresults of the questionnaire appear¬ed in the New York Times.On the personality and habits oftheir “ideal girl” the freshmenachieved little agreement. The qual¬ity most emphasized in the specifi¬cations, however, was “intelligence.”In politics 121 of the freshmensaid that they were “dyed-in-the-wool” Republicans. Sixty-sevenaligned themselves with the Demo¬cratic party, 24 were Socialists, 12Communists and 79 were undecided.In choosing between a Phi B'etaKappa key and a varsity letter, 236first-year men desired a key in prefer¬ence to a letter, while 33 wantedboth. One student said he wanteda key because “a key could bepawned,” while another disclosedthe fact that his girl had expresseda preference for a key instead of avarsity letter.Two hundred and fifteen freshmen.said they did not drink, while 89admitted “taking a drop now andthen.” There were 128 who smoked,while three said that they smoked“only cigars.” and is an advocate of the state mo¬nopoly system. He will take thisposition in the discussion, drawingon his experience with this method,which is now being used in Canada.While Professors Smith and Sle¬singer have not studied the admin-j istration of liquor control, they willapproach the subject from differentviewpoints. Mr. Smith lived formany years in Texas and he willdescribe the evils of the saloon asit existed there. Mr. Slesinger, onthe other hand, will describe the in¬stitution in New York.R. E. Park AddresftesSociology Dinner on^Cultural Processes’Dr. Robert E. Park, professor ofSociology, will be the guest speakerat the annual banquet of the Soci¬ology club to be held Thursday,November 9, at 7 in Judson Gourt.Dr. Park will speak on “Sociologyand the Cultural Process.”Dr. Park has just returned to tneUniversity after a two-year triparound the v/orld, during which hemade a study of the racial and cul¬tural consequences of the meetingof oriental and occidental peoples.The banquet is the first of a seriesof programs sponsored bj th Soc’ology club to bring together under¬graduate, graduate and facultymembers of the Sociology depart¬ment.Reservations for the banquet,priced at $1 may be made withBeatrice Achtenber, SS 602, FacultyExchange. Fi’ed Henderson, British Laborleader, author, and lecturer, willspeak on the social problems arisingfrom “Mass Production and MessedDi.stribution” tonight at 8 in Mandelhall. Harry D. Gideonse, associateprofessor of Economics, will presideat the meeting, which is sponsoredby the Socialist Club. Admission is15 cents.Characterized by Maynard Krue¬ger, assistant professor of Econom¬ics, as one of the “political grand¬fathers” of England, Mr. Hendersonhas become increasingly importantin the British Labor party, as indi¬cated by the party’s recent adoptionof his book, “The Case for Social¬ism,” as the official party statement.Within the last two years his pol¬icies, formerly regarded as radical,have been largely taken over hy theLabor group, which now agreeswith him in refusing to accept gov¬ernment offices until the party canattain a majority and gain controlof public policy. Funeral services for John C. Rans¬meier, assistant professor of Ro¬mance Languages, who died Tues¬day afternoon, were held yesterdayafternoon at the Ransmeier home,5800 Harper avenue. The servicewas conducted by the Rev. Douglas! Horton, pastor of the United Churchof Hyde Park. Interment will be to¬day at Murphysboro, home of theRansmeier family for several gener¬ations.Death was due to pneumonia,which followed a surgical operation.He is survived by a widow and twosons, John, a medical student at theUniversity, and Joseph, a student atOberlin College.Dr. Ransmeier^ who was 61,taught Spanish at the University for13 years, coming here from Tu-lane university, where he had head¬ed the department of German. Hedeveloped a new technique now wide¬ly accepted, for teaching Spanish,which was embodied in a “SpanishRecognition Grammar” which heprepared. He received the Bache¬lor’s degree at Northwestern uni¬versity, the M. A. and the Ph. D.at Harvard, and studied at the Uni¬versity of Berlin.GIVE THREE LECTURESON GERMAN SITUATIONThree lectures on the generalsubject of “Germany and Hitler,”to be given on successive PYiday eve¬nings at the Goodman theater, at8:15, have been announced by theUniversity College.Professor Ferdinand Schevill willspeak November 10, on “Germanyafter Versailles,” to gdve the his¬torical perspective for the rise ofHlitler. Associate Professor HarryD. Gideonse will discuss the socialand economic aspects of the Naziprogram on November 17; ProfessorQuincy Wright will consider thelegal-political aspects November 24. Women Must Strivefor Political EqualityStates Mrs. Wright“Women in politics must try toachieve political education for allwomen and complete legal equalitywith men,” said Mrs. Quincy Wright,chairman of the Foreign RelationsCouncil, at an Association meetingof the Y. W. C. A. yesterday after¬noon in Ida Noyes hall.Mrs. Wright, the wife of QniiyyWright, professor of InternationalLaw, stressed the importance of theNational Women’s Party and theLeague of Women Voters in achiev¬ing the two aims of equality andeducation. The National Women’sorganization has carried on a cam¬paign against legal restriction ofwomen’s rights.Citizenship classes conducted bythe League of Women Voters havebeen of value in promoting a widerknowledge of political events andproblems, Mrs. Wright sUited. The last senior class under the oldplan will go to the polls today toelect its president. More than twohundred members of the class of1934 have registered their intent tovote in the election being carriedon under the auspices of The DailyMaroon.The polls will be open from 9 un¬til 3:30 at Cobb hall. The followingrules must be strictly adhered to,any infraction causing immediatedisqualification of the ballot of thevoter disregarding the instructions:1. There will be no electioneeringon the part of the backers of Mar¬vin Bargeman, Wayne E. Rapp orJohn Thomson at the polls. 2. c;achvoter will be given a ballot by amember of the staff of The DailyMaroon. 3. The voter will cast asigned ballot, in order to prevent•iishonesty or fraud.Check Names4. The voter will place his votein the ballot box himself, but onlyafter his name has been checked onthe registration list and after thepoll watcher has placed the propercheck mark on the ballot. 5. Theremust be no loitering of backers ofcandidates at the polls. 6, Absolutelyno hampering of the poll watcher inhis activities will be tolerated.When the polls close at 3:30 theballot box will be taken to the officeof Jerome G. Kerwin, of the Politi¬cal Science department, who willsupervise the counting of the votes.Announcement of the winner will bemade in tomorrow’s Daily Maroon.230 Seniors RegisterTw’o hundred and thirty seniorssigned their names in the two dayregistration period, making a newhigh total of registrants. Almost theentire class has turned out and sign¬ed up in this eiectiorf, the last for aclass president under the old plan.This fact and the thoroughness ofcampaign managers in routing outvoters have been responsible for thelargest registration in history.In order to prevent fraud and tomake the election perfect in techni¬cal detail, the name of each regis¬trant will be checked with the Bu¬reau of Records to see whether thevoter has 27 majors and is underthe old plan, the necessary qualifi¬cations for voting.SOCIOLOGIST INFIRST LECTUREOF URBAN SERIES“The Main Street of the World,”the seaway that connects the variousinternational ports and allows Euro¬pean culture to flow thereon, wasthe topic discussed by Robert E.Park, professor of Sociology, lastevening at Mandel hall. His lecturewas the first of a series being spon¬sored by the University Joint Re¬search Committee and the ChicagoUrban League.Preceding and following the ad¬dress, a glee club of 32 coloredsingers, 'presented a musical pro¬gram, the outstanding number ofwhich was “Qld Man River.”“Visiting these ports is not muchmore of an adventure than goingdown Michigan avenue, for the samepeople, styles, and customs, are metalong both thoroughfares,” com¬mented Dr. Park. “Hence contactalong here is responsible for the ex¬istence of a ‘marginal man’ who,living in the primitive world,touches the civilized, and yet is root¬ed in neither. His disadvantage liesin the fact that he finds difficulty inachieving a settled life.”Dr. Park then went on to showthe problems confronting this “mar¬ginal man” in the eastern hemi¬sphere, using in his discussion ma¬terial that he had gathered duringhis recent two years’ world trip.IN ORIGINALJAFHE DAILY MAROON.

Right now, in college, we canmake effective our desire for better conditions—as did our fellow students in Italy and Cuba—byaction I—M. B.A CENTURY OF PROGRESSIN PERPETUUMAside from the scented stench of Messieurs Kel¬ly, Nash, and Rosenbei , Chicago has done verywell this summer with her Century of Progress.However, if A Century of Progress is to be con¬tinued indefinitely by proposal of Chicago andapproval of the President, complications are pos¬sible and probable.Perhaps Mayor-by-Appointment Kelly is look¬ing for as happy a hunting ground for Chicagopoliticians as the sanitary district. He ought toknow better, since everyone knows his small, butcooperative part in the famous “whoopee” eraand his clumsy salvage of the Chicago schools,wrecked by political sabotage.College students who worked at the Fair de¬clare, “Never again—at that salary!” Tire highclass of the personnel of the Fair will surely de¬cline, as will the uniqueness of three miles ofmodernistic architecture.We mourn the passing of a good thing, butwe hope it indeed passes and rejoice that weare not going to get too much of it. It will bequite an achievement if the 1933 Midway c*nbe made as attractive as the 1893 Midway.—J. P. B.COME ON, YOUFUTILITARIANS: DO SOMETHING!Objectivity is perhaps the chief factor in straightthinking. Withholding judgment until the factsin a given situation are known is the first step inscientific reasoning. The last step is definite ac¬tion.However, in striving for objectivity, some stu¬dents become so detached from this compromis¬ing world that they never decide on a course ofaction. They want to wait until all the evidenceon all sides of the matter is gathered before theywill enlist their abilities in support of a cause.Usually they end up old and gray, still collectingand weighing data without ever having turnedtheir knowledge and energies into action, though,in their youth, they were urgently persuading TheDaily Maroon or somebody else to act upon theirbeliefs.After the facts are in, the next stop m the sci¬entific method is the formulation of a workinghypothesis to submit to test. But our psuedo-sci-entists will not take the trouble to go this far.Any new proposal, be it socialism, world peace,or NRA, brings forth on this campus its crop offutilitarians—with a remarkable sameness of per¬sonnel—who assume that any practical plan ishopeless. They scorn radicals, scoff at conserva¬tives, laugh at liberals, and suggest nothing.All facts, theories, and data have no value toanyone but the possessor unless they are put intoconcrete form for the benefit of the rest of us.Study is absolutely useless, unless followed byaction. Sooner or later, this sense of uselessnessproduces cynicism and boredom.In the face of the great crises occurring daily,no one has a right to be bored.Domestic strife and international quarrels of in¬creasing severity cry out the need of constructivethought and bold action.In other countries it is the students who haveled progressive movements; it is the students whohave changed policies, politics, and governments.Why is it that in America the student is so muchmore apathetic toward his world? Why does the.American youth allow progress to stagnate forwant of loyal advocates in the so-called “seatsof intellect” of the country?Can college students justify their detachmentfrom the field of action? We are facing a worldof chaos—a world that demands that our gen¬eration confront problems, examine proposedsolutions as carefully as possible, decide on thebest available plan, and take prompt, efficientaction.We are all afraid to act in haste lest we blindlytake the wrong course. But doing nothing mayhave worse consequences than even blind action. The Travelling Bazaar!By SIDNEY HYMAN and HARRY MORRISON IDave Levin tells us this one. The lad who an-sw’ers the phone at the Daily Jewish Forwardw'as considerably startled the other day when,picking up a ringing phone, he was greeted by adecidedly Aryan voice. “I want to talk to some¬body,” the voice declared.“Talk to me,” the telephone answerer answered.“Well, it’s this way,” the voice went on. “W’e’replaying a game of chess here and I want to know'if I can castle when I’m in check.”W'hat Dave Levin wants to know is if HerrHitler still thinks that the Aryans can get alongby themselves.« * JVCPete Zimmer had an awful time with Deemduring the game Saturday.

Thereare three copies, aren’t there—one for the ref¬eree, one for the player, and one for the Build¬ings and Grounds Department (or maybe theBursar’s office) ? Lettersto theEditorEditor, The Daily Maroon,Sir:Your editorial of last Friday onthe subject of the University’s R. 0.T, C. unit was as unfair, misleading,and unreasoning as anything thatColonel McCormick has ever print¬ed in the columns of his paper. Thevery style of the article with itsterse one-sentence paragraphs wasan insult to the student body, sinceit is readily recognized as the stylew’hich William Randolph Hearst hasfound most suitable for the convinc¬ing of the unthinking, headline read¬ers, who make up his public.In the first place your use of theword “tolerates” in the title givesa wholly erroneous idea of the posi¬tion of R. O. T. C. in the University.Should even a hint be given that theUniversity no longer wished to re¬tain its R. O. T. C. a dozen othercolleges would set up a clamor forthe privilege of having it, since thenumber of such units is limited.If on the other hand by Univer¬sity you mean the student body,whose opinion you regard as trulyexpressed in last year’s war poll, youare again distorting the facts. A.sI remember the re^nh^s of that pollthe overwhelming majority of vot¬ers .said that they would oniy fightin a just cause. Now it is not un¬reasonable to suppose, since the ma¬jority admitted the possibility of ajust war, that they should not beopposed to the military training ofcivilian officers, the best means ofswiftly and surely prosecuting a war,under our system. Should an unjustwar be entered into by our nationthe small body of reserve officerscould do nothing if the average manrefused to serve. On the other handconsider the case of a just w'ar in¬volving perhaps an attack from with¬out. No matter how enthusiastic thepeople were to drive off the enemythere would be. as in the last war,great unnece.ssary l^ss of life andlimb if no re.serv'e corps existed andthe troops w-ere placed in the handsof rookie lieutenants. In fact it wasthis experience in the World Warthat led to the establishment of tht'R. O. T. C, War is a highly techni¬cal matter and several years of train¬ing are required. Such knowledgeis not acquired in a day u.- irom abook. After some of your fellow- |students have gone through this 1four-year course and won their de¬served commissions you sj^'ak oftheir smugness and begrudge themthe enjoyment they may have gotfrom the required riding part of thecourse.If you had taken the trouble tobecome acquainted with the mem¬bers of the unit, I do not believe youwould ever ever have accused themof a mercenary motive in joining.But then perhaps the spiteful old 'lady known as the Maroon could not iunderstand anything like that.' iWashington crossed the Di*la- 'ware, Grant took Richmond, andwho says the R. O. T. C. couldn’t I ride roughshod over a regiment ofeditorial demagogues.George Vincent Kempf.1550 North LaSalle streetP. S. Put that in your press andprint it.If you’ll write us again, Mr.Kempf, we’ll admit all implications,but include next time specific ex¬amples of ranking universities thatwill clamor for an R. O. T.

Joe, by the way, was electedon a platform of “An egg in everyman’s beer, and for the women, alap for every chicken.”In conclusion we are inclined tobelieve Bargeman will win, althoughwe would like to see Rapp, the bigactivities man, get it.

Duncan,graduate student at the University.The editor states, “This booklet isa pictorial representation of certainphases of Chicago life which* are tobe seen alongside the much-public¬ized Century of Progress Exposftionbut from which the attention of thepublic is being diverted by our po¬litical and civic leaders.”Professor Charles E. Merriam,chairman of the Department of Po¬litical Science, says of the work:“A good picture of the darkest sideof Chicago’s life, but there is onewhich is a lot brighter which theydon’t seem to have observed; aslake-front development, parks, playgrounds, and boulevards. Also thework of such people as Jane Ad-dams and Clarence Darrow. Thosewho look for muck will always findit.

G. Macdonell has to say onthe subject in his satire “EnglandTheir England.” And the author pre¬sents all phases of English life inpraiseworthy prose and with humorthat is not sardonic but gay: he doesnot seek to reform any of the insti¬tutions he criticizes, ^cial and pol¬itical life as well as diplomatic pol¬icies come within the broad swoopof his pen which is Shavian inscope, but not in technique.As a Scotchman living in the Eng¬land which he pictures, Mr. Mac¬donell weaves episodes of Englishlife into fiction with a verisimilitudethat is heightened by his quick witand easy style. Yet there are de¬scriptive passages that seem some¬what heavy in a book of this type;but the author even makes them seemappropriate since they are forcefulpictures of England, especially therural districts which he, loves.The question may arise as to howmuch of an authority Mr. Macdonellis. Authoritative or not, the bookwould surely interest anyone whoenjoys good light .literature eventhough he may not be acquaintedwith the traits of the English peo¬ple.

NOVEMBER 2. 1933MtROONS EAGER TO"AVENGE LAST YEAR'S^SCONSIN DEFEAT• A repetition of last year’s slash¬ing game seems indicated, whenChicago and Wisconsin meet onStagg Field Saturday and the Ma¬roon team starts its recovery pro¬gram. Both the Maroon and Badg¬er teams rely primarily on a run¬ning game, and Saturday’s gamewill be determined by the showingof the two lines.Coach Grooms ReservesSome of the second team playersare getting considerable attentionfrom Coach Shaughnessy, withLangley and Baker, ends. Gold,guard, and Hatter and Wallace,backs, working regularly with thefirst team. The Maroon coach islooking for a game in which thepressure will be strong from the first,and he wants to have his reservesready to drop in whenever necessaryto give the first team a respite fromthe Badger pounding.Before the end of the season, thegreen Chicago line should get going,for it lacks skill and experiencerather than strength. Jay B'erwang-er, who hasn’t yet hit his stride, al¬though he has been playing excel¬lent football, is also due to breakout with a great performance. Giffen ReachesFinal in ReynoldsCue TournamentBob Giffen yesterday entered thefinal of the Reynolds club straight-rail billiard tournament by de¬feating Bob Brin in a nip andtuck semi-final battle, 50 to 43.Giffen had progressed to the semi¬finals by beating David, 50 to 36,while Brin earned the right to meetGiffen by upsetting Dave Levine, de¬fending champion. ,50-46. M. L.

The finalist had previ¬ously eliminated Wolff in a quarter-j final match, 50-35 while his semi-finalopponent gained his position by tak¬ing Glickman, 50-45.Freshmen ScrimmageThe freshman football squad, inits usual role of giving the varsitymen stiff scrimmages in preparationfor coming games, has been givenWisconsin and Illinois plays andformations. Although the freshmenwere strictly on the defensive dur¬ing the beginning of the week, whenthe varsity threw passes all over thelot Monday and then tried to rushthe yearlings off their feet in ball¬carrying plays Tuesday, they weregiven a chance yesterday to se^howbaffling the Wisconsin offense couldprove to be to the first-stringers.Tomorrow the freshmen will de¬vote their time strictly to their owninterests when the present”Wiscon¬sin" and ‘‘Illinois" teams will againrenew their own private grudge bat¬tle. Additional strength has been pro¬vided the yearlings because of thepresence of Miller, a newcomer,who by his fine defensive ability hasshown himself to be a fixture at end.Reach Semi-Finalsof Intramural GolfRapp for PresidentRAPPOUTTHEOLD.RAPPIN THENEW,WITHRAPP0 Wayne E.
