UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 20, 1936 Member United PressHouse VotesInquiry intoAge; PensionsHouse Votes $50,000 toInvestigate Townsend Or¬ganization.WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—(UP)—The House ordered a $50,000 inquiryinto all old age pension movementst)y a vote of 249 to 4 today afteriiiembers spent an hour condemningDr. Francis E. Townsend as a social• charlatan” and “quack” whose planis “a racket to exploit the poor.”Three Republicans and one Demo¬crat opposed the investigation on arising vote. They were Reps. Vito.Marcantonio, R., N. Y., Karl Stefan,R., Neb., usher L. Burdick, R., N. D.,and Theodore L. Moritz, D., Pa. Thevote came after Rep. John S. Mc-Groarty, D., Cal., and other acknow¬ledged Townsendites had approved theproposed inquiry and urged membersto make the vote on the resolutionunanimous.Rep. C. Jasper Bell, D., Mo., au¬thor of the resolution, who roared a:l0-minute denunciation of the Town¬send movement today, will be chair¬man of the committee of eight whichwill make the inquiry. He said he didnot believe the legislation was broadenough to include the activities of theRev. Charles E. Coughlin’s NationalUnion for Social Justice and that hewould not investigate this organiza¬tion unless the house specifically de¬manded it.Thorough InvestigationsThe investigation is expected tocost $50,000. The committee is em¬powered to delve into every activityof promoters of old age pensionschemes, including a search of books,papers, records, and data on collec¬tions and expenditures.It was the second time in 48 hoursthat the House struck at the so-called••pressure groups” which seek to in¬fluence legislation. Yesterday twoCatholic leaders—Rep. John J. O’Con¬nor, D., N. Y., and Rep. Pat Boland,1).. Pa.—scorchingly denounced FatherCoughlin for his political activities.The galleries were packed as theHouse met at noon but so few mem¬bers were in their seats that a quorumcall was sounded. They were stillfiltering into the chamber as Bell,slight, erect, gray-haired, opened theattack.Bell Attacks Quacks“The late years of the depression,with widespread human want and suf¬fering and unemployment have beena fertile field in which false prophetsof social reform have promoted theirschemes and rackets, representing vastsums in unholy profits at the expenseof tens of thousands of good and faith¬ful but deluded followers,” Bell said.The first of the “quack doctors,”(Continued on page 2)Name Azana NewSpanishPremieras Riots FlareMADRID, Feb. 19—(UP)—ManualAzana, left republican leader, wasnamed new’ premier of Spain andhastily formed a moderately radicalcabinet tonight to replace the T. E.Portela government, which resignedtoday as result of the leftist victoryin Sunday’s parliamentary elections.Resignation of the Portela govern¬ment and formation of a new cab¬inet were hastened by fears of a mil¬itary coup to seize control of the na¬tion as new disturbances were report¬ed throughout the provinces.President Niceto Alcala Zamoraand political leaders agreed todaythat it would be desirable for the Por¬tela government to remain in poweruntil parliament convenes. However,within an hour, new riots and disturb¬ances were reported throughout Spain.At the same time stock exchangesslumped badly from lack of confidencein the Portela government.The general strike at Zaragossaw’as called off. However, despite thelabor union’s orders ending the strike,several clashes occurred. Two pedes¬trians were wounded in sharp ex¬changes between police and snipers.Authorities were confident thatthorough investigation of rumors ofa military plot showed there is noreal danger of a coup d’etat. Defense AttorneyWithdraws; BelievesHauptmann GuiltyTRENTON, N. J., Feb. 19—(UP)—Samuel Leibowitz, New York attor¬ney who saved 112 men from theelectric chair, withdrew from theBruno Richard Hauptmann defense to¬night, convinced, he said, that Haupt¬mann is guilty of the murder of theLindbergh baby.Leibowitz issued a statement out¬lining his position. He said threedeath house interviews with the Ger¬man carpenter had left him unshakenin his belief that Hauptmann is guiltyalthough he does not think Haupt¬mann was alone in the crime.C. Lloyd Fisher, now Hauptmann’schief counsel and the man who helpeddefend him at his Flemington trial,remained steadfast in his belief thathis client is innocent.Sitting beside Leibowitz at the pressconference which followed the NewYork lawyer’s third visit to Haupt¬mann in “death row” at the stateprison here, Fisher said he would con¬tinue the fight to save the condemnedman from the electric chair.Only today Justice Thomas W.Trenchard, who presided at theFlemington Trial resentenced Haupt¬mann to die the week of March 31.Denies FrenchNaval AppealRoosevelt to Insist UponOriginal Agreement atLondon.WASHINGTON, Feb. 19—(UP) —Acting Secretary of Navy Henry L.Roosevelt insisted today that battle¬ships of 36,000 tons were best for theUnited States na\x des'pite an appealby France for a lower tonnage limit.The United States and Great Brit¬ain agreed at London on retention ofthe 35,000-ton limit and on reductionof guns to a 14-inch limit, on condi¬tion that all major naval powersagree. France, through diplomaticchannels, appealed to the State de¬partment for a lower tonnage limita¬tion, but received no definite reply.Questioned about the agreement,Roosevelt said that high naval offi¬cers were willing to limit gun calibreto 14-inches provided other principalnaval powers did likewise.Want Program SupportedThe Navy department issued a pub¬lic appeal for support of a buildingprogram for “fleet auxiliaries.” Theseinclude tenders, repair ships, trans¬ports and various vessels necessaryto keep the fighting squadrons in oper¬ation.Meanwhile, Chairman Carl Vinson,Dem., Ga., of the House Naval affairscommittee, suggested that the Navydepartment rewrite a bill for construc¬tion of 221,000 tons of auxiliary craftat a cost of $175,000,000 over a 10-year period, specifying the types ofships.Vinson made his statement at acommittee hearing, in the face ofwarnings by Rear Admiral JosephTaussig, assistant chief of Navaloperations, that specific enumerationmight “tie our hands” if presenttreaty authorizations are changed.“In time oi war," the departmentsaid, “These can be provided to alimited degree by the use of the mer¬chant shipping, but such shipping isnot available for service to and foressential training with the fleet intime of peace. Furthermore, the mer¬chant marine does not include shipsof proper design and equipment forcertain essential services.”THE ABCs(Contributions to The ABCswill he accepted by the editor.)WAR CONQUERS ALLNo one wins a modem war becauseit is fought to such a point that every¬one must lose.

Lelandof the department of Economics yes¬terday. In a public lecture entitled“Business Prosperity and Fiscal Pol¬icy,” Professor Leland condemned theMellon policy of reducing taxes intimes of prosperity, and declared thattaxes should be lowered in depressionyears and raised in better years.“There has never been a time in ourhistory when all of our governmen¬tal budgets could not have been bal¬anced without reduction of expendi-YWCA Uses PatrioticTheme in LuncheonAmerican flags and little hatchetswill decorate the tables at the GeorgeWashington luncheon to be given bythe YWCA today on the second floorat Ida f^oyes hall.

In the first 144years of our history there have been49 years which produced deficits and 96years which showed surpluses. Everyone of the deficit years was associatedwith either a war or a depression.The government should not try tobalance the budget in depression yearsunder a cyclical fiscal policy, he said.Any debts contracted at that timewould be paid by increased taxes inmore prosperous years.A cyclical construction programshould accompany the cyclical budgetbalancing and tax adjustment poli¬cies, Leland further stated. Any pub¬lic works construction should be start¬ed at the bottom of the business cyclewhen the cost is less and the needfor employment relief is the strong¬est. However, it is imperative that anypublic w’orks projects be of such anature that they can be discontinuedas soon as conditions begin to im¬prove. Otherwise, they will contributeto the increasing demand for laborand materials and help bring aboutboom periods which must be avoidedif possible.Director of PersonnelGives Vocational LectureF. B.

ColumbiaHeadsVoice Approvalof New PlanEastern Professors PraiseUniversity System AfterVisit.5th RowCenter Five Columbia University profes¬sors have spent the past two daysvisiting the University for the solepurpose of scrutinizing the ChicagoPlan in operation. When reached bythe Daily Maroon late yesterday atthe Hotel Windermere East, theyseemed of one accord in their opinion,“It’s great!”The visitors who arrived Tuesdayinclude Jesse Newlon, professor ofEducation and chairman of the Di¬vision of Instruction in the Teacher’scollege; W. D. Reeve, professor ofMathematics; S. R. Powers, professorof Science; Allan Abbott, professorof English; and Erling Hunt, profes¬sor of Social Science. The purpose ofthe special trip was to acquire firsthand details of the Plan so that itmight be included in the instruction ofteachers at their institution as theoutstanding educational experiment inAmerica. “Of course,” Professor Pow¬ers made clear, “we would not beagainst recommending phases of thePlan for adoption by the undergrad¬uate school in Columbia.”5th RowCenterBy C. Sharpless HickmanStudents who jammed into the Mu¬sic building yesterday afternoon, ex¬pecting a humorous musical sessionwith Alec Templeton at the piano,were treated to a rare exposition ofthe long-lost art of musical improvi¬sation by a blind genius whose wiz¬ardry at the keyboard will soon be¬come a byword.Mr. Templeton, who works out hismore or less mundane existence asthe only* truly distinguished featureof Jack Hylton’s orchestra, will, Ipredict, be the rage of Chicago musi¬cal circles after his solo appearanceat Orchestra hall on March 1st.Revives ImprovisationIn the times of Beethoven and Mo¬zart, the art of improvisation at thepiano was one which was expectedof every ranking artist. Because ofthe stress laid upon this type of play¬ing, it later grew into disfavor withthose musicians who felt this typeof playing was the equivalent of cast¬ing pearls before swine who appre¬ciated only the virtuosic quality of themusic played and who increasinglyapplauded at the successive steps offlashy technique shown by the art¬ist.Mr. Templeton’s revival of impro¬visation has unfortunately beenclassed by many as a novelty—a thingto be taken with “Ohs” and “Ahs”at the humorous imitativeness shownby Templeton in his aping of pastcomposers. The fact remains that, asCarl Bricken said, his work is a rev¬elation to those who believe there isno elasticity in music. The art whichcan take any simple ten note theme(as he took yesterday) and developit successively and successfully in thestyle of Mozart, Bach, Brahms, De¬bussy, Beethoven, Chopin, Gershwinand Rachmaninoff is no gift to betaken lightly, and Mr. Templeton’sown improvisation of the theme andhis playing of his own works wasproof that mere musical trickery wasnot a part of his amazing technique.Knowledge of MastersPerhaps the most fundamental fac¬tor in 'Templeton’s unique ability toreproduces the styles of composers ishis uncannily sound acquaintance withthe works of the masters and of con¬temporary musicians. A phenomenalmemory has retained thousands ofpieces, and from this great musicalstore-house he can draw the familiarcharacteristics of composers and byhis own genius work these characteris¬tics into a musical pageant of rarebeauty and structural soundness.There is no hokum about Temple¬ton’s art. It is merely that the un¬usual channel into which it has beenturned, and the perhaps forbiddingfact that “he plays with a jazz band”has chilled the acclaim of those whohave not carefully listened andlearned. His forthcoming recitalshould dispel these suppositions. Arare musical sensitivity is concealedin the shy presence of this artist,whose off-stage manner changes fromthe unassuming, almost apologetic, toone which is intensively vital andeager in its regard for, and eternalsearching of, music. Talk With Hutchinsj The men have talked with Presi¬dent Robert M. Hutchins, and havevisited survey course classes. Theywill take back with them copies ofthe comprehensive examinationswhich they are particularly interestedin. At the present time they areagreed that the exams as a wholeare not satisfactory because of thefactual tone instead of the “survey”style which they evidence.As head of the group. ProfessorNewlon summed up the attitude ofhis colleague, “The integration of thecourses under the plan make this oneof the most important additions andexperiments in American education.The University of Chicago has donemore to solve general educationalproblems than any other institution.Some “new” plan must be broughtinto every college to provide a generaleducation program. The Chicago Planis the most comprehensive to date.”All the representatives of the NewYork college agree that there mustbe no going back b.ut that work mustgo forward.Freshmen andSeniors Vie inContest at NoonFreshmen and seniors will vie forhonors in a Washington Prom cherrypie-eating contest at. noon today atthe “C” bench in front of Cobbhall.

The New Deal tax plan is be¬lieved to call for $500,000,000 to fi¬nance the farm relief program nowhearing final congressional action.With quick passage yesterday ofneutrality legislation, the tax, reliefand farm proposals were the only im¬portant items remaining upon thecongressional program. All otherwork, according to senate leaderseager to plunge into the political cam¬paign, could be disposed of in threeweeks.Present LegislationThe status of other major legisla¬tion, passed or proposed for this ses¬sion, is:1. The $2,237,000,000 soldiers’ bonus—passed by both houses over Presi¬dent Roosevelt’s veto.2. Extension of the temporary neu¬trality law to May 1, 1937—passed byboth houses and now before PresidentRoosevelt for expected signature.3.

The fra¬ternities, perhaps, may be an exampleof a clo.sed .social group, but what“class” organization do the Jews rep¬resent? This .seems like an uncon-sciou.s evidence of anti-Semitism. Fra¬ternities and Jews occur to the writeras the two foremost examples ofsuperficiality, but he defends them by-stating that “other .students may beju.st as assertive in their ignorance,or as flighty in their indifference.”Does not this imply that the fraterni¬ties and Jews are inherently ignorantand indifferent, and con.soles them onthe grounds that the other studentson the campus are not much better?In the depths of its analysis, thewhole editorial appears to be as goodan example of superficiality as I haveseen for years.—C.

Ships in the vicinitywere asked to come to her assistance.The Nova Scotia is a 6796-tonsteamer registered out of Liverpool.Her destination was not announced.Later the Nova Scotia said shewould wait a tow from her sistership,the Monarch of Bermuda, which saidit would reach her position by 1 p. m.,tomorrow. This was interpreted asmeaning the seas were calm and thatthe Nova Scotia would ride at anchor. CollegiateWorldIt may well be that the singlestandard of morality is slowly crack¬ing up under the ravages of this evilage, or it may just be that anyone,including a Ph.D. can do about any¬thing he wishes with figures.During its ypar and a half of ex¬istence this column has witnessed andreported campus “surveys” of everyconceivable type—from the averagenumber of hairs in a fraternity boy’seyebrows to the number of years ittakes the average banker’s son to getthrough college.And all this faithful following ofthe college press has at last been re¬warded.We can now’ present to you the re¬sults of the purity survey on the cam¬pus of Queen’s University. “Purity”in the personal, intimate, whisper-and-snicker sense.It seems that the women are 66.4per cent pure w’hile the men are but.59.3 per cent virtuous.The test consisted of 18 questionsand was given to 150 students. Ques¬tions varied. One was, “Do yousmoke?”One girl turned up with a perfectscore, and one man got to 99.5 percent holiness. He was the one who ad¬mitted he had once smoked a ciga¬rette.* ♦ ♦Note on love in the blizzard area:The date bureau at Drake Universityin Iowa has closed up shop for lackof applicants.« * *strange tale of the consequenceof a mi.stake made in translation of abook on basketball rules is broughtto the University of Minnesota by astudent, Carl Hen.sel, who has just re¬turned from the University of Vienna.Hen.sel said he found the Austrianstudents playing basketball as theylearned it from an American rulebook.

On the one hand he can adopta temporary scepticism to be dis¬carded when he has advanced suffi¬ciently into his field of concentrationto feel justified in forming a perma¬nent set of answers to the problemsof that field. On the other hand hemay dispense with this intermediaryof sceptisism, and begin immediate¬ly to acquire and defend a system ofdogmas.The student who chooses to adoptthe first policy does not hestitate toformulate a set of answers—but theformulation is recognized at the out¬set as tentative. He is aware of thepossibility that his answers arewrong. Consequently as he advancesin his acquisition of knowledge, hecan change and modify his answerswith relative ease. Ultimately he ar¬rives at a set which is intellectuallysatisfying and which he feels adequateto defend.The student who pursues the sec¬ond policy never formulates a setof tentative answers. His original setis considered final. Usually it con¬sists of answers which are thrown tohim by the first instructor or set ofinstructors for whom he has great ad¬miration.He mirrors these instructors.He doubts only what he is told bythem to doubt.His faith in the immutability oftheir answers is overpowering. T^eiranswers form a scaffolding on whichhe hangs all his subsequent think¬ing. .Modifications of that scaffoldingare made only with increasing reluct¬ance.American collegiates were oncecharacterized by the statement thatthey preferred being told what tothink to being told to think.And students who are told whatto think are too often the studentswho think they do the most think¬ing. —M.

Theleague, organized last quarter, is atpresent composed of six groups—namely the Art, the Dance, theDrama, he Music, the Photographyand the Writer’s guilds.Besides fostering active participa¬tion in the arts, the groups form anopposition to such forces as war,fascism, and censorship which impedethe progress of art. Realizing thatthe artist and his work are definiteproducts of society, the League feelsthat as such they cannot be divorcedfrom realities existent about, them.Each guild has elected a temporarychairman, and the six chairmen con¬stitute the executive council of theLeague. The guild system facilitatesclose co-operation between the groups.Were the writers guild to publish aplay, it might be produced by thedrama guild with the assistance ofthe Art, Dance, and Music groups..Acting as faculty sponsors of theLeague are Gerald E. Bentley, assist¬ant professor of English, and MartinJ. FVeeman, assistant professor ofBusiness. It was officially recognizedlast quarter by the office of the Deanof Students.Guild meetings this week are as fol¬lows: Dance meets in Classics 13 at4:30 today and at 7:30 the Musicguild will meet in Social Science 106.Tomorrow at 3:30 the Writer’s guildwill meet in Classics 13, The organiza¬tion, now totaling approximately 100members, is open to any resident stu¬dent of the University.

There are a number of issues fac¬ing the houses which can only be metby co-operation between the variousmembers of the system. Primary andmost glaring at the present time isthe need for a revision of the rushingrules. Various deficiencies in the regu¬lations have become apparent duringthe past few weeks. University au¬thorities will not attempt to alleviatethese defects; therefore, all sugges¬tions for change must come from thefraternities themselves.In order to facilitate the removal ofthe difficulties. The Daily Maroon ispreparing to present a plan to theInterfraternity committee containingsuggestions for several of the neces¬sary change.-i. Naturally, it wantsthese ideas to be in accord with thoseof the various houses. If all chapterscould study the present system andpass on the results of their specula¬tions to the Maroon, it would simplifythe process of change a great deal.Immediate action is necessary if any¬thing is to be done this year.Less prominent to the fraternitiesas a group but nevertheless importantis the future of the Fraternity Co¬operative Purchasing agency. Ad¬judged successful by all participantsthis year, the continuance of its workwill be impossible unless a successorto Everett George, its director, is .se¬lected soon.Besides present services it would bepossible for the agency in co-operationwith University authorities to extendthe work of the institution into otherfields. One suggestion that has beenmade is to have the agency employ ex¬perts to inspect the plumbing, electriclight, and heating systems periodicallywith the view to saving the housesfrom enormous repair bills.In short, the fraternities must planfor the future now that their imme¬diate problems have been solved. Forthis a continuance of a system ofclose co-operation is necessary.Establish Fundsfor Fellowship inChemical WorkIn order to encourage promisingstudents to pursue graduate work inchemical research, E. 1. du Pont deNemours and company has announcedthe appropriation of funds for thereestablishment of fellowships in thisfield in leading universities and col¬leges for the academic year 1936-1937.The awards, which are limited to12 institutions, including the univer¬sities of Chicago, Harvard, and Il¬linois, have no restrictions other thanthat the work done under them shallbe in the field of chemistry or chemi¬cal engineering, but the appointmentof the fellowship must be approvedby a member of the fellowship com¬mittee of the du Pont company, afterreviewing the qualifications of the ap¬pointee and the recommendation ofthe department of chemistry.The appropriation for the fellow¬ships is $18,000, half of which is tocover the co.st of continuing for theacademic year 1936-1937 four post¬doctorate fellowships in organic chem¬istry at $2,000 each, plus an addition¬al $1000 to cover the cost of extra¬ordinary equipment that may be re¬quired. The remaining $9,000 is tocover the cost of re-establishing 12post-graduate fellowships at $750each.The post-doctorate fellowship is in¬tended to provide trained assistantsfor young professors of organic re¬search to enable them to attack themore difficult type of problem, and todevelop men better qualified in re¬search to continue their efforts in theacademic field.DON’T FAIL TO USE THEDaily MaroonTheatre BureauLocated in theDAILY MAROON OFFICEHOURS 2 to 5 P.M.

George Gel-man, the other Maroon epee man, alsohanded Gillies a black eye, 3-2, butthen suffered his first Big Ten loss ofthe season, at the hand of JimmyNeal, Wildcat sophomore.The Maroons excelled in all theweapons, carrying the foils 7-2, lead¬ing in epee 3-1, and sweeping the.sabre 4-0.Wilson W'ins AgainCaptain Campbell Wilson muzzledhis three opponents, ticking TullyFriedman, Wildcat sophomore numberone man, fourfold, 5-0, and also throt¬tling Greenburg and Northland bywide margins.In sabre, Louis Marks, won bothhis bouts for Chicago, yielding onlythree points, while gaining ten.Lee Winter and Jim Walters won |two of three foil bouts.

OnMarch 9, spring practice begins.Coach Andei'son is rather enthus¬iastic over this year’s squad, since hehas five “C” men returning in Haar-low, Cochran, Yedor, Laird, and Ship¬way. Out for winter practices arereturning Nessler, Ganzer, Kacena,Vanek, Bernard, Kurk, Fuchs, andHoffman from last year’s sub list.To brighten the prospects many up-and-coming freshmen with Mastrof-sky, Amundsen, Scace, Dean, Ander¬son, Edwards, Gordon, Neiman, Sod-erland. White, Trojka and Gold havereported.There will be plenty of competitionat all positions except at first basewhere Bill Haarlow is practically afixture. Second bag will be in thej hands of Trojka, Ganzer, and Ed¬wards; short is a toss-up between! Cook and White; Gold, Kacena, andj Vanek will settle third; while in thegarden Gordon, Neiman, and Soder-I land will fight for left, Cochran lastI year’s short stop will take care of cen¬ter, with right up to Bernard and! Nessler, and the catching in the! hands of Shipway with Fuchs andI Dean runners up. The tossing will bej done by Yedor and Laird last year’sstandouts and Amundsen, Mastrofsky,I and Hoffman coming up.j Coach Anderson is banking on theI return of Bill Haarlow to his fresh-j man swatting form and better yearsj for Cochran and “Lefty” Nessler, toI bring the Big Ten title to ChicagoI this year.Reynolds Chess TeamsHold Second PlaceBoth teams of the Reynolds chessclub are now in second place in theirrespective leagues. Official standingsof the minor league show the “B” teamriding past the Swedish number 2squad in the last round of play.Tonight the “A” men enter their“crucial” match when they meet theSwedish men. If the University teamcan gain a tie or win the five gameswhich decide the outcome, no opposi¬tion yet to be met seems probable tostop the Maroons and they shouldcoast into the championship.After meeting the Willamette num¬ber 1 club, which they should take, theReynolds club “B” men meet the mi¬nor league representatives of theSwedish club, the outcome of thematch deciding the championship inthat league.The first round of the championshiptournament is now under way.

Cagers EngageNorth CentralMaroons Scrimmage withYearling Squad for Week¬end Meet.Bill Haarlow’s sophomore quintetwill have a final welcome fling at anon-conference opponent Saturdaynight at 8 in the fieldhouse when theMaroons engage North Central’s vet¬eran basketeers.Led by the high scoring CaptainYoung at guard, the Naperville fivehas had the usual good season, almostdefeating the outstanding DePaul ag¬gregation last week. DePaul downedChicago earlier in the season.With Thumley, six-foot five-inchsenior, at center, and Yuknis andKeith, tall sharpshooters, at forward.North Central has a good offensive.The game, if as high-scoring as likely,may give Haarlow an opportunity torun away.Previous LossLast year Naperville defeated Chi¬cago in a warm-up game, and haspractically the same line-up thisyear. Both guards are short and fast,Nels Norgren, Maroon Coach, advisedyesterday.In the contest between the twoteams last year, Haarlow was unableto play.Maroon ScrimmagesThe Maroons have been undergoingthe weekly scrimmages with the fresh- |men, several of whom are faster thanany varsity players. Norgren is stillworking the guards on basket-making,having given them instructions toshoot whenever there is an opening inscrimmage. The guards seem to haveabsolute accuracy until they enter agame.Norgren scheduled this contest in 'the middle of the Big Ten seasonwhen the schedule left an open week- 'end. He believes the game will be a ,good oportunity for the Maroons to jimprove several of their outstandingweaknesses, although there will prob¬ably be little opportunity for leisure¬ly contemplation while the North iCentralites are firing.British Shift OlympicPolicies as Result of |Poor 1932 ShowingLONDON, Feb. 18—(UP)—Forthe first time Britain is making real¬ly strenuous efforts to train for theOlympic games in Berlin this sum¬mer.By tradition, the British attitudeto amateur sports has been “the play’sthe thing; never mind who wins,” butthis year Britain is out to win, or atleast finish higher than sixth or sev¬enth among the competing nations.Old-fashioned sports patrons des¬cribe some of the training innova¬tions as the borderline of profession¬alism, or, at the best, “Americanpep methods.”In 1933, soon after the Old Coun¬try’s poor showing in the Los Angelesgames, Britain started preparing forthis year’s Olympics. That in itselfwas something new. Usually teamshave not been chosen until a week orso before the games.Chief attention was given to thefield events in which Britain has nevershone. In 1934, a summer school wasestablished at Loughborough College,Leicestershire, where such experts asHarry Abrahams, Olympic broadjumper; Donald Finlay, hurdler, andTom Hampson, Olympic and world-record half miler, coached young as¬pirants.Before then training was left to theindividual athlete, who rarely, if atall, received any coaching.Stages Upset to EnterSemi-Finals of MatchPALxM BEACH, Fla., Feb. 19—(UP)—Freckled-faced Patty Berg ofMinneapolis who is rapidly ascend¬ing to the top bracket in women’sgolf, entered the semi-finals of thePalm Beach women’s championshiptoday with an upset, 3 and 2 victoryover Glenna Collett Vare, five timesnational champion.Mrs. Berg’s victory was the samescore by which Mrs. Vare defeatedher in the finals of the national wo¬men’s tournament last summer.The schoolgirl never was behind hermore experienced opponent.
