Price 3 Cents UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 5, 1936 Member United PressMorgan Predicts Supreme CourtWill Not Invalidate Entire T VAKing’s Messageto ParliamentOpens SessionEdward VIII Urges Meas¬ures for StrengtheningImperial DefensesLONDON, Feb. 4—(UP)—Themost important session of parliamentin years convened today, and after re¬ceiving a routine message from theKing, prepared to make the Empiremore secure at home and abroad.Expansion of land, .sea and airarmaments—particularly the latter—is the principal business of the ses¬sion. Increa.sed military might will bebuttressed by alliances and treaties,the diplomatic weapons of England’sshrewd foreign office.Domestically, unemployment andbolstering of industry plus revisionof the national educational system arethe chief items on the calendar.“White Paper” Issued.\s Parliament assembled, a “whitepaper” was issued disclosing thatFrance solemnly has pledged herselfto aid Britain by “military, air andnaval assistance” should Italy attackher. Prime Minister Stanley Baldwinannounced that the government’s de-fen.se proposals w’ould be publishedshortly in another “white paper.”Questioned by members of Parlia¬ment, Foreign Minister AnthonyEden replied a committee of expertsat Geneva is studying the practicabil¬ity of widening sanctions against Italyto include an oil embargo, and is do¬ing its utmost to report quickly. Hoannounced that an exchange of viewsamong Britain, France, Greece, Tur¬key, Jugoslavia, Roumania, Spain andCzechoslovakia regarding mutual mil¬itary aid in ca.se of attack “revealeda complete identity of views.”Text of MesaageThe King’s message was read at thefirst regular .session of the Hou.se ofCommons in King’s Edward’s reign.It said:“I have received with true satisfac¬tion the loyal and affectionate ad¬dress of Commons concerning thegrievous loss I have sustained andconcerning my succession to thethrone.“I thank you for the expression ofyour loyal attachment to my per.sonand you may be a.ssured that the firstobject of my life will be to maintainthe liberties of my people and to pro¬mote the welfare of all classes. Ipray that by the blessing of Almighty(Jod, I may ju.stify your tru.stthroughout my reign.”THE ABCs(Contributions to The ABCswill be accepted by the editor.).SO SIMPLEIt is difficult to explain simple mat¬ters to the ignorant and to those whodon’t want to know. But we will tryonce more. For the benefit of suchmembers of the munitions committeeof the United States senate as areboth illiterate and unable to remem¬ber the beginning of the world warwe will repeat.In August, 1914, the German hordesinvaded Belgium, against which theyhad no grievance. This was contraryto international law, was against aspecific treaty, and was an attack oncivilization.On May 1, 1915, this country wasbrought directly into the conflict. AGerman submarine fired on and hitwith a torpedo a ship called the Gun-flight, which was American ownedand was flying an American flag. Twomembers of the crew, both Americans,died as a result of the cowardly at¬tack.The investigation should go on tobring out these truths. But if the sen¬ators still wish to prove that thiscountry was driven to war to protectsomebody’s investment, let them do sowith their own money, and not withthe hard-earned cash which has beenwrung from the taxpayers!* * *(From New York Herald Tribunereprinted in Chicago Daily News.Interestingly enough, this editorialwas entitled A, B, C.

Wait for LegalInterpretation ofOath to EdwardWINDSOR, Ont., Feb. 4—(UP) —The township council of SandwichEast, a part of the city of Windsor,tonight awaited legal interpretationof the oath of allegiance to King Ed¬ward VIII before accepting its tenets.Refusal of that body to swear fealtyto the new- king followed the actionof the township reeve, Benjamin Le-vert, a socialist who told the regularcouncil meeting Monday night thathe was opposed to war and to the oathitself if it embodied his participationin any conflict involving Great Brit¬ain.The council thereupon tabled a mo¬tion of allegiance until its representa¬tives had had an opportunity to conferwith the crown attorney. The oathhad been pre.sented by townshipclerk Wilfred Gravel under the publicofficer’s act which requires all publicofficials to swear their allegiance tothe reigning monarch.“There was no downright refusal totake the oath,” Clerk Gravel told theUnited Press today. “It was rathera move to postpone this action untila legal ruling has been made by thecrown attorney on several points.”Nazi LeaderAssassinatedGustloff, Journalist, De¬clared Martyr by Partyin GermanyDAVOS, Switzerland, Feb. 4—(UP)W. Gustloff, Nazi party leader,was as.sa.ssinated today by DavidFrankfurter, 26-year-old student fromJugoslavia who has been studyingmedicine at Berne,Frankfurter surrendered to police.He is a fanatic Anti-Nazi.Gustloff, German journalist andformer editor of a paper suppres.sedby Swiss authorities, frequently wasvehemently attacked by sociali.st andcommunist papers, which demandedhis expulsion from the country. Hewas said to be leader of a consider¬able group of German Nazis in Switz¬erland and several times had been introuble with Swiss police.Frankfurter forced his way intoGustloff’s home at 8 P.M. and firedfive bullets from a revolver into theeditor’s body. Gustloff was killed in¬stantly. Frankfurter then went to apolice station and gave himself upwith the explanation he committedthe murder because of intense hatredfor the German Nazi system.German IndignationBERLIN, Feb. 4—(UP)—The as¬sassination of W. Gustloff today inSwitzer land caused indignationthroughout Germany, where Gustloffalready is considered a marayr forNazi Germany,Adolph Hitler telegraphed the mur¬dered German editor’s widow condo¬lences and told her: “This abomin¬able crime lias aroused deep emotionand indignation throughout the na¬tion.”Political leaders urged full use ofall channels of Nazi propaganda tostir up feeling over the “commonloss.”Italian RepresentativeMay Leave LeagueGENEVA, Feb. 4—(UP)—Italiancircles indicated today that Italywould be likely to leave the League ofNations if it imposed an oil embargoin penalty for her war on Ethiopia.Italians watched closely the workof experts of League oil producingnations studying the technical prob¬lems connected with an embargo.The Italians argue that an oil em¬bargo would prove useless becauseItaly has sufficient supplies to con¬tinue its war, but they say its ap¬plication nevertheless would be a ges¬ture of hostility which probably wouldcause a break with the League. Senate ClearsWay for Ne wAgriculture BillProposed Program Con¬tinues Benefit Paymentsto FarmersWASHINGTON, Feb. 4—(UP)The Senate today swiftly approved aresolution repealing three compulsorycrop control acts repudiated by Pres¬ident Roosevelt and the United StatesSupreme Court, and cleared the wayfor action on the administration’s sub¬stitute for the invalidated AAA farmprogram.The House is expected to concurpromptly in the move suggested bythe President to wipe from the statutebooks the Bankhead Cotton Controlact, the Kerr-Smith Tobacco act andthe Potato act, which appeared doomedin the light of the Supreme Courtdecision scrapping AAA.The Administration’s new programto continue benefit payments to farm¬ers who co-operate in a governmentcrop control plan based on soil con¬servation is scheduled for debate inthe Senate Thursday.Meanwhile, the Hou.se heard thebooming voice of Rep. Allen T. Tread¬way, challenge President Roosevelt todo something about his Secretary ofAgriculture, Henry A. Wallace, “in¬sulting” the Supreme Court.Defend WallaceDemocratic leaders quickly rose todefend Wallace when Treadway re¬iterated that the cabinet member“ought to be impeached” for his com¬ment that return of $200,000 in im¬pounded processing taxes to proces-.sors constituted “the greatest legalizedsteal in history,”Rep. Marvin Jones, replied thatWallace “didn’t accuse the court ofstealing the money,” but referred toa “small group” which would benefitby the tax return. He admitted Wal¬lace’s comment was “pretty strong,”but insisted he should be judged byhis record of “good w’ork which can¬not be destroyed by a single state¬ment.”Meanwhile, Chairman Henry P,Fletcher of the Republican Nationalcommittee said President Roo.sevelt’srequest for repeal of the cotton, pota¬to and tobacco control acts was “sig¬nificant of the confusion now reigningin the New Deal.” Fletcher askedwhat the country got out of the NewDeal “except social demoralization and$10,000,000,000 of additional debt,”Champion WomanMountainClimberSpeaks TomorrowFrau Gunter Dyhrenfurth, holderof the world’s altitude mountainclimbing record for w'omen, will telltwo audiences of her experiences ascamp commander of the second In¬ternational Himalayan expeditionnext Wednesday and Thursday in thetheater of International House.

That the ruling on the TVA will in¬volve an entirely different principlethan the rulings on the AAA andNRA, was the opinion expressed byArthur E. Morgan, chairman of theTVA, in an interview yesterday.Mr. Morgan, over six feet, heavybrowed, and quiet spoken, is visitingthe campus to deliver the Alden-Tut-hill lectures tonight and tomorrow onthe general topic “Character in Busi¬ness and Government”.“If the decision is adverse, it willprobably be a circumscription ofthe activities of the TVA, and notan outright invalidation”, saidhe, but declined to forecast whetherthe pending decision would be favor¬able or adverse. “There are severalpossibilities open to the Court. Itmay uphold all the activities of theTVA; it may allow' us to sell poweronly wholesale; it may permit us totransmit power only over lines neces¬sary to the government; it may limitthe pow'er selling activity to a leasingof the generators to private com¬panies.”In case of a favorable decision. Dr.Morgan opined that the ultimate fateof the TVA would iepend “in partupon its efficiency, but also in largepart upon the caprice of public opin¬ion” w'hich would be largely independ¬ent of any superiority of the TVApower production to that of privatelyowned public utilities.Dr. Morgan further stressed thatpower manufacture and sale was onlyRudolph GanzSpeaks at TeaNoted Pianist DiscussesBackground of Opera To¬dayRudolph Ganz, world famous pianistof Chicago, will speak informally at atea this afternoon sponsored by theOpera association.

Dean’s OfficeBans Gambling;No FandangoAbandon Carnival PlansFollowing Statement byScottAs a consequence of a ruling by theOffice of the Dean of Students pro¬hibiting gambling in any form andthe association witli professionalgambling promoters in connectionwith the 1936 Midway Fandango, thestudent executive committee of theorganization yesterday voted to aban¬don plans for a Fandango this year.In a letter to Connor Laird, gen¬eral manager of the Fandango, Wil¬liam E. Scott, assistant dean of stu¬dents, stated that the Universitywould not tolerate the “presence of orassociation with professional promo¬ters excepting those who may providethe rides concessions,” and also pro¬hibited the “presence of any gamblingdevices such as slot machines, Chuck-a-luck, and others” run by either pro¬fessional gamblers or students.University RulingsThe administration also ruled thatthe Fandango could be held on twonights only, instead of the three ori¬ginally scheduled, April 16,17, and 18,and that certain aspects of the raffleand the system of financial controlwould have to be changed.The action of the executive commit¬tee in deciding to abandon the Fan¬dango entirely was taken with thefull approval of the board of trustees,composed of members of last year’sexecutive committee, Laird stated.The Fandango organization will bekept intact, however, and efforts willbe made to develop a substitute forthe carnival.Laird’s Statement“We feel that the action of theUniversity was fully justified,” Lairdsaid, “but we feel that it would beimpossible to stage a sucessful Fan¬dango without gambling concessionsin any form. We realized over half ofour net profit from these concessionslast year. An undertaking as large asthe Fandango must draw a large out¬side crowd, which w'ould be impossiblewithout gambling attractions.”Laird indicated that the Fandangoorganization would be ready to assistthe senior class in any project itmight undertake to replace the Fan¬dango in raising a senior class giftfund.Letter CriticisesArticle AgainstTownsend PlanUp through the layers of life whichset off the University from the moresimple and more typical realms ofAmerican people, there penetrates oc¬casionally a brief, touching ray ofhuman emotion.An aged married couple sent suchan illuminating dart of feeling fromsome humble dwelling to the scholarlyoffice of Frank H. Knight, professorof Economics. With the certainty oftheir years, the two ancients gentlyinsisted in a short letter that Knightand the other 19 University profes¬sors who debunk the Townsend planare in error.The letter was received tw'o daysafter the University gave out a pressrelease on the forthcoming public pol¬icy pamphlet criticizing Townsend’sproposed salvation for the aged. Itsheds a gleam of light “on the prob¬lem of educating the democracy forintelligent political action,” as Pro¬fessor Knight says. It is copied letterfor letter:Whittier, Calif.Jan. 27, 1936Prof. Knight and all professorswho signed the Economic article onthe Townsend Plan which appearsin this morning’s paper:We have been warned againstjust such articles, and paid articlesand broadcasts etc. How hardthese politicians and rich men aredying, but regardless of all opposi¬tion the Townsend Plan is goingacross because there are millionsof voters who will vote for justthat plan.

EntersAnother WarMorgan Sees 'Damage” asConflict ‘IrreparableResult ofWASHINGTOX, Feb. 4—(UP)Entry of the United States intoanother war would do “irreparabledamage” to western civilization, JohnPierpont Morgan told the Senatemunitions committee today.“If the leisure class is destroyedcivilization will be ruined,” he added.The tall, aged financier defined the“leisure class” as composed of families able to afford a maid. His viewscame after a day of committee investigation of financing of the lastwar in which it was revealed thatGreat Britain applied $180,800,000received from the U. S. treasury toreduce a $400,000,000 “demand loan”with the house of Morgan.Loan PaidLater the loan was paid in full, likeall other private obligations of GreatBritain, although that nation is $582,803,308 in arrears on debt to the U. S.government.Morgan was not summoned for thefinal phase of the munitions commit¬tee’s investigation—which ChairmanGerald P. Nye said would be con¬cluded tomorrow night—but came be¬cause he was interested.Lawrence Brown, committee investi¬gator, questioned the financiers on theintricate financial transactions, andintroduced letters and documents re¬lating to them. One was a letter tothe Morgan firm from the British gov¬ernment, telling about the $180,800,-000 payment in 1917.Then the questioning swung awayfrom the last war to a possible futureone. Senator Homer Bone brought outthat if there is another war theUnited States would have to under¬write it.“Or stay out of it,” Morgan boomed.“I don’t think,” he continued,“that it would be a short war. Itwould be a very long war. And youmust remember that we are not peo¬ple who go to war to get somethingout of it.”Chance of Profits“What would you think,” Nye inter¬rupted, “Of writing off the chance oflarge profits from war.”“My experience,” Morgan replied,“is that we made our profits in thelast war before we entei'ed. We weremore prosperous in our companyworking for the allies than after theUnited States entered. After we en¬tered, we sat in with everybody else.Everybody had to buy bonds, to doeverything possible to win.”“What would happen to westerncivilization if we became involved inanother war?” Bone asked.“W’ell,” answered Morgan, “in everyconflict you must interfere with thecapital structure.”“Could we stand the strain of anoth¬er long war without the possibilityof collapse?”“It would do irreparable damage,”the financier said. “How great 1could not say.” General StrikeThreatens SouthAmerican StateSANTIAGO, Chile, Feb. 4—(UP)—Chile was threatened with a generalstrike today as bakers, painters, car¬penters, textile workers and machi¬nists walked out following the suddenstrike of railroad men Sunday night.W’idespread sabotage on the rail¬roads continued, and troops clashedwith one group which they surprisedin the act of dynamiting three kilo¬meters of roadway near Concepcion.No reports of casualties had beenreceived here, but Carabineers clashedwith Saboteurs in several places. Thesoldiers were under orders to closeall headquarters of the workers fed¬eration, which the government be¬lieves was influenced by communiststo call the strike.The marine ministry ordered thefleet to stand by at Valparaiso, al¬though it was to have sailed tomorrowon a southern cruise.Strikes of the other trades wereonly partly in sympathy with the rail¬road walkout. As an added grievancethe building trades, bakers and textileworkers had a grievance about thenew five per cent raw materials tax.Eleven hundred machine shop em¬ployes from the railroad shops at SanBernardo joined the strikers today.Although railroad officials in everyother section reported increasing sab¬otage, the second zone, comprising themost poulous region of Chile fromSantiago to Valparaiso, was notaffected by the railroad strike. Em¬ployes refused to join the movementof the other zones.The strike was called withoutwarning Sunday night, the workersdemanding higher wages. Minister ofIndustry Matias Silva immediatelybranded the strike as communistic,and said the railroad workers havehad their wages increased three timesin the past three years.“The government has trustworthyinformation,” Silva said, “Of the ori¬gin of these revolutionary activities,and know’s that this strike is the re¬sult of orders given by local andforeign communist organizations.” CollegiateWorldEntries Pour in forCantor Essay ContestAttracting nation-wide attention,the Eddie Cantor essay contest on‘How Can America Stay Out of War”has already received over 58,000 en¬tries, it was announced recently.Competition for the $5,000 scholar¬ship prize to be used for completemaintenance for four years at anycollege or university closes February22.

V. Ruggero.The Ethiopians captured 18 tanks,70 machine guns, three mountain gunsand 11 trucks.Gigliucci was accused of spyingwhile he was minister here. EmperorHaile Selassie ordered him from thecountry and he was held virtualprisoner for several days before leav¬ing under guard.The two-day battle was interpretedby some quarters as indicating anEthiopian offensive to recapture Ne¬ghelli, where 10 Italian bombers arepoised to bombard Addis Ababa assoon as weather conditions permit.The squadron is known to be com¬posed of TS-R type bombers, the fast¬est of their kind in the Italian airforce.The planes have been at Neghelli,only an hour’s flying distance fromAddis Ababa, for days, but have beenunable to take off becau.se of heavyrains. Fraternity Rowby Edward SternJudgment ofFraternitiesThe three hundred odd freshmenwho enter the University each fallare notoriously “green” on all matters relating to fraternities, rushingpractices, and campus Greek societiesin general. They are gullible, and areunable to “separate the wheat fromthe chaff.” Since they have no know¬ledge of the criteria upon which frat¬ernities are to be judged, they takeeverything they have heard literally.One fraternity may have been heldup to them in their home town as the“best” fraternity, or perhaps friendsof the first-year men have been in acertain fraternity at another school.As a result the freshmen will cometo school with a misplaced system ofvalues.In this condition a prospective frat¬ernity pledge is especially open to theways and means of the old-fashioned“hot-box.” Under the old system ofrushing, this susceptibility led tomany unsatisfied fraternity men whoToday on theOuadrandlcsIntelligence RatedFirst by Girls’ Vote“Intelligence” i.s the qualitytheir “boy friends” most admiredUniv'ersity of Michigan cood.s, a in Iby Ire- 1cent survey on the campus showed.Other attributes were ranked in thisorder; .^en.se of humor, dependability,sex appeal, gallantry, neatness, goodlooks, and sincerity.

It has succeededto some extent, but nevertheless sonu*cases still take place, mainly becauseof the fact that it is still possible inthe excitement of the final rushinj'week to give a freshman false argu¬ments as to why he should take ahouse.Better far would it be for a fresh¬man to do as one did in the daysgone by. Before he came to school, hemade a list of factors which he believed were a measurement of the rat¬ing of the fraternities. From thesehe made a chart, and upon visiting thefraternities graded each in turn.Naturally, he changed his gradinga number of times as new facts developed; but in the end he had a pret¬ty actual picture of the various hou.seThis is, of course, an extreme prac¬tice, and one that no freshman willobserve today. However, each freshman should set up criteria by whichhe will measure each house, shouldconsider them all in turn, and shouldpledge the house which he feels is thebest for him.

Letters tothe EditorYOUTH’S ALTERNATIVESElditor of the MaroonDear Mr. Nicholson,Your editorial recently on WilliamAllen White’s “Advice to a YoungCommunist” gave us, as young com¬munists, a great deal of satisfactionbecause you present as the two alter¬natives for young people: to let thew’orld roll slowly onward toward aninevitably better phase, or to hurryup that process by human activity.This is a long way from the attitudesof complete indifference or flag-wav¬ing support of the status quo preval¬ent on campuses only short years ago.But to carry the question further,would the world if left alone moveonward to better and better societies ?At a time when twelve milion men,more than ever before in the historyof our country, are without work, canwe say that we are advancing towarda fairer economic system? Whenappropriations for military training inthe Chicago schools have beendoubled in the past year, while thelength of the school year has been cut,can we argue that permanent peaceis ever nearer or that educationalopportunities are widening? Whenthe number of workers killed on picketlines in the United States has risen toover one hundred in the past twoyears would it seem that liberty is onj the increase? When the German andI Italian fascists are starving their pop-[ ulations, punishing free speech byI concentration camps, and flirting with! the prospects of a new world war,1 can we be satisfied with the results; of progress there ?It is precisely the inquiry into thesej conditions that is turning large num-i bers of intelligent people to commun-j ism. (The Young Communist leagueI has increased by 4,1300 members dur-! ing the last year.) We feel as you' do that the blame for the whole sit-! uation can be laid at the door of thedie-hards, the smug old men who at¬tack liberal universities, refuse un¬employment insurance to workers,hire scabs, make the profit out of war.I But we do not call this skittishness.The capitalists who run our govern¬ment, print our newspapers, sell usour food, and occasionally employ usrefuse to allow social progress be¬cause they want to preserve their prop¬erty and power. If Mr. White canpersuade the bankers and industrial¬ists to hand over their resources tothe workers to build a society of class¬less peace, we young communists willbe glad to follow his advice and walkalong with the “Machine of Justice.”Until then, we think that pushingwill help. Marx, Engels, Lenin, andStalin have pointed a path which tous is very clear.

Yet notable slaps in the face1 to that theory have been the artistic¬ally and financially successful pres¬entations by the Chicago City Operacompany of “Turandot,” “La Fiam-ma,” “Andrea Chenier,” “Mefistofele,”“Don Giovanni,” and by the Philadel¬phia Opera group, “Iphigenia inAulis” (twin to “Iphigenia in Tauris”)! during the past two years.When one considers the wealth ofrelatively unknown operatic literaturein this country, it is amazing to real¬ize the comparative narrowness ofthe repertoire of such a company asthe Metropolitan Opera of New Yorkcity. At the conclusion of the twenty-six year regime of manager Gatti-Casazza last year, it was heraldedthat the new management, under thefinancial and artistic tutelage of theJuillard Musical foundation wouldbring Manhattanites a repertoire ofwelcome revivals and selected newworks, in addition to the standardfare. But manager-tenor EdwardJohnson’s taste (or perhaps it is thetaste of the Juillard-controlled boardof directors) has been even more cath¬olic and conservative than heretofore.The only major innovation in thisyear’s program by the Metropolitancompany has been the inclusion ofPuccini’s “La Rondine,” together withVALENTINE’S DAYis a day for the exchange of goodwill and fellow'ship.

OF C. BOOK STORE5802 Ellis Avenue several re-castings of traditionalworks, such as “Carmen” with Pon-selle, and (perhaps) “Pidelio” withFlagstad rather than the supremeLotte Lehmann. This, compared withno less than five unusual revivals bythe Chicago City opera in the courseof a short, mismanaged, five-weekseason is indeed a surprising disap¬pointment to the opera-goer.Especially neglected of late havebeen the mighty works of the greatRussian masters, and the new worksof such composers as Richard Strauss(“Ariadne at Naxos,” “Elektra,” and“The Egyptian Helen”) and ErichWolfgang Korngold (“Die TodeStadt”).Such operas as Borodin’s “PrinceIgor,” Mussorgski’s “Boris,” Rimsky-Korsakov’s “Le Coq d’Or,” “Sadko,” or“Khovantschina” and Dhargomijsky’s“The Stone Guest” and “Roussalka”are magnificent works, colorful withprimitive dance-rhythms, sonorouslychorused, and use majestical stageeffects — the production of whichwould, it seems to me, be a suremeans to attract new life into theoperatic box-office.While no one can gainsay the powerof Puccini, Verdi or Massenet, Bizetand Gounod, still there is no reasonwhy these works, together with Wag¬ner’s titanic works, should be per¬formed to the exclusion of the Russianoperas or the works of our greatestmodernists. Delius, too, is anotherneglected master—one might namemany more.I do not mean to say that theseoperas should supplant our presentfavorites, but a more equalizingshould be maintained. I do not meanto point out the Metropolitan Operaas the exclusive violator of a broad¬ened repertoire—it merely happens tobe the most familiar case to the great¬est number of readers.Only the skilled use of modernstagecraft, greatest singers, finestlighting and stage-management, to¬gether with a revised and re-envi¬sioned repertoire will bring any majorchange in opera patronage and ap¬preciation.

Chicago has won all three ini¬tial non-conference meets.Jack Silverman, high-ranking con¬ference foilsman, is the chief Boiler¬maker threat, although he fell beforeBill Chiprin in a hard-fought boutin the Illinois meet. Matthews, Purdueepee man, is also a dangerous com¬petitor. Purdue is weak in the otherw'eapon, sabre.In order to win as many bouts aspossible, because of the present sys¬tem of conference scoring, the Ma¬roons have shifted Louis Marks fromfoil to sabre and have put Jim W’'al-ters in the foil competition. The con¬ference championship goes to theteam winning the most bouts through¬out the season, instead of the mostmeets.Although Captain W’ilson hasdropped bouts in the last two meets,he is expected to win all three of hisPurdue contests in earnest. Lee W’in-ter is also counted on to sweep hisduels.This meet will be the first real testof the Midw'ay musketeers.

In their at¬tempt to stop the onslaught of theIndependent boys, the Buildings andGrounds squad ran in nine men forsubstitutions, but five points garneredby Peterson were the most any oftheir men could gain.The Independent five played an ironman game with only five players par¬ticipating thruout the contest.
