Thegame was a close fought battle with Purdue definitely on top all the way.The Maroons held them to one touch¬down however, and Ken Rouse, theAll-Conference center, broke throughto block the try for point-after touch¬down. The' Maroons made a touch¬down ofHheir.own and converted,thus insuring a ,lontinuation of theirsupremacy.The next year however, the Pur¬due team ran all over the Maroonsand wreaked revenge to the tune of40-0, the worst defeat ever adminis¬tered to either team during the ser¬ies.Battle of StarsMost thrilling game of the seriesw’as that of 1934 when Berwanger( Continued on page 5 ) Kizer Sees Chicagoas Stiff OpponentRebuilt Boilermaker Elev¬en Bids for ConferenceCrown.By L. 1).

Instead, the Maroons had along dummy scrimmage followed byskull practice, in which much stresswas placed on offensive formations.Today will see an even lighter prac¬tice, with the freshmen demonstrat¬ing Purdue plays to the varsity inanother dummy scrimmage.Starts VeteransThe Maroon lineup which willprobably take the field tomorrow, willbe a different combination from anywhich has yet been used. At ends willbe Ken Petersen and the veteran BillGillerlain, who is especially strong ondefense, and will be looked for tostop the powerhouse end sweeps usu¬ally featured by the Boilermakers.Bob Johnson and Earl Sappingtonwill again start at the tackle posi¬tions. Captain Bud Jordan’s runningmate at guard will be Ham Meigs,who is replacing the injured TubbyWright. Wright has been out of prac¬tice all week with an injured knee,but may see some action tomorrow.Captain Sam Whiteside will againbe at center, and this week will callplays from this position. The back-field, weakened by the loss of Bart¬lett and Lehnhardt, will see Good-stein starting at the quarterback po¬sition, Fareed and Fitzgerald athalfbacks, and Skoning at full. Thiscombination will have plenty of goodblockers in the persons of Goodstein,Fitzgerald, and Skoning. Fareedwill take care of speedy sweeps andpasses, Fitzgerald will do the kick¬ing, and Skoning and Goodstein are apair of excellent plungers.Backs Are HealthySeveral fast reserve backs are ingood shape and ready to take thefield in case the Maroons should getin scoring position. These includeHarvey Lawson, who made an excel¬lent showing for a few minutes lastweek, Sol Sherman, shiftiest of theMaroon ball carriers. Lew Hamity,who was kept from the starting line¬up because of a sore leg muscle. BobGreenebaum, and Ed Valorz.Saturday should see plenty of wideopen football. The Boilermakers, al¬ways noted for their passing attack,have shown a tendency to u.se a nvoreopen style of running attack, withplenty of lateral passes and ballhandling, w’hile the Maroons will useeverything in their bag of tricks inan effort to upset the fast-steppingBoilermakers.Topping the list of conferencegames slated for tomorrow is OhioState’s invasion of Dyche stadium tomeet the Northwestern Wildcats.Northwestern is undefeated this sea¬son and crushed Iowa 18-7 in its con¬ference opener. Ohio State, althoughdefeated last week by a superb Pittfootball machine, is still regarded asMinnesota’s chief contender for theconference title.With both teams aspiring for theconference crown and boasting highclass aggregations, this should be abattle from start to finish. LynnWaldorf is planning to use the sametactics which were co successfullyemployed by rushing the Buckeyepassers, thus keeping the Schmidtmen from using their wide open styleof play.Ohio is Not W’eakOhio State has plenty besides“razzle-dazzle”, however, as w^e evi¬dence by their 60- 0 victory over NewYork University in which they em¬ployed nothing but straight football.Unless Stave Toth, Don Heap, andDon Geyser are too much for them,Ohio State should emerge the victor.At Minneapolis, Minnesota shouldhave no trouble with Michigan andretain possession of the “LittleBrown Jug.” Coach Hany Kipke ofMichigan was apparently satisfied byhis team’s defensive showing in theirdefeat by Indiana last week and hasbeen concentrating on offense thisweek, with Bob Cooper, Detroit soph¬omore doing most of the ground gain¬ing.

Unfortunately, but whatalso was probably to be expected, the Maroonwas badly misquoted by certain Chicago paperswhich ran the story .The Daily News and the Herald-Examiner,in particular, ran distorted versions of thestory. Both quoted The Maroon as representingit as a statement of fact that Mr. Hutchins“would soon receive an invitation” from Yale.In reality, of course, the Maroon’s article indi¬cated only that there had been a “persistentrumor” that Mr. Hutchins “may soon be askedto leave the University of Chicago and assumethe presidency of Yale University.”The Herald-Examiner was kind enough tolater qualify its first statement by again quot¬ing from the Maroon (this time correctly) that“President Hutchins is the most likely candi¬date to be selected by the Yale board of trus¬tees.” But not so the Daily News. That enter¬prising newspaper traced the story further,had one of its representatives interview Presi¬dent Hutchins, who was then in Washington,D. C., and quoted him as saying “that all stu¬dent newspapers are ‘naive and irresponsible’and that he takes no responsibility for any¬thing printed in the Daily Maroon.”Obviously, if Mr. Hutchins made such astatement at all, he was referring not to “allstudent newspapers” but just to the studentnewspaper of his own University. It is quitepossible that the News misquoted Mr. Hutch¬ins as badly as it misquoted the Maroon. It ismore likely, however, that Mr. Hutchins wasmisinformed by the News’ representative asto the contents of the story which appearedin The Maroon, for otherwise we do not believethat he would have made such a statement.The circumstances surrounding the publicationof the report, with which Mr. Hutchins waswell acquainted, did not warrant such a state¬ment.The report, from a reliable source at Yale,first reached the Maroon early last week. Atthat time, it was merely to the effect that Mr.Hutchins was being prominently mentionedfor the position. When we asked Mr. Hutchinsfor a statement, he denied any knowledge ofthe rumor but had a ready explanation for it:Yale having very few men who are prominentin the field of education, and he being one ofthem, it is natural that he will receive consider¬able mention as a possible successor to Presi¬dent Angell. Under these circumstances, thestory was not news. The Daily Maroon did notprint it, although Mr. Hutchins had given noinjunction against such a procedure.Early this week the Maroon received a sec¬ond report, this time stating that it was now THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 16, 1936a common rumor in New Haven that Mr.Hutchins was “the most likely candidate to beselected... This was news. The Daily Maroonprinted it as such.In our opinion, only half of Mr. Hutchins’statement, as it appeared in the Daily News,was justified. That was the part in which heechoed the declaration in our own mastheadthat “The University of Chicago assumes noresponsibility for any statements appearing inThe Daily Maroon.... ” As to the other half,we believe that the facts belie a charge ofeither naivety or irresponsibility against theMaroon.Mary McDowellDeath has taken from the University ofChicago Settlement the woman who for fortyyears has been the symbol of social conscious¬ness throughout this entire country, but par¬ticularly in Chicago, to which she has con¬tributed so much.Her contributions in a personal and directway to the people of Chicago, especially thosein the “back of the yards” district where theUniversity Settlement house is located, wereinvaluable. Taking the reins at the settlementshortly after it was founded, she nursed itthrough its embryonic period, during which itwas located in three rooms above a store. Herbrilliant and sympathetic leadership soonbrought it to a stage of national preeminence.It isn’t the fame that she earned for herselfand for the settlement that is significant, how¬ever, but rather it is the record of service tothe members of that community that made herso highly esteemed by her colleagues and lovedby those whom she was aiding. Her relation¬ship to the community was not that of an out¬sider, but rather that of a member whose abil¬ity developed by training fitted her for leader¬ship.She never spoke of her friends whom thesettlement was aiding as “they,” but alwaysas “we.” These friends owe a debt of gratitudeto Mary McDowell which can be repaid onlyby rendering a like service to the people whooccupy their former position.Even more important than her direct per¬sonal contributions are those she has made asa guiding figure and in a sense a first principlein the mass program for amelioration of theconditions of the social outcast. It is her awak¬ening of an awareness on the part of the well-established strata of society of the existenceof social problems and their responsibility forthem that is her greatest contribution.For your great service to all of us, we thankyou, Mary McDowell.

Sharpless Hickman♦ ♦ *The University’s new Internation¬al House film entrepreneur, Mr.James H. Wellard, starts his foreignseries most auspiciously next Mon¬day night with the American pre¬mier of the new German musicalfarce, “Allotria,” or “Hokum.”Wellard has made the very best ofa series of disastrous “breaks” in hisendeavor to secure unusual premieresfor the campus. Picture after pic¬ture that he has had under optionhas slipped out of his hands as hard¬hearted and grasping promoters havelistened to the stronger call of great¬er amounts of dollars. But whiledoing so they have overlooked thefact that as a testing laboratory forforeign films International Housemore than makes up for the ratherlimited budget it has to spend on itsshowings. Despite this Wellard hasarranged a program which for sheervariety is something new even forInternational House’s past series.Germany, France, Spain, Japanand Austria are represented in hiswinter quarter showings. In addi¬tion to “Allotria” he will present,on October 23rd, a unique Frenchfilm made by members of the Com-medie Francaise, featuring Moliere’splay “Precieu.ses Ridicules.” Both“.Allotria” and this film will be with¬out English sub-titles.Probably the highlight of the sea-.son, as far as straight cinema dramagoes, will be the first Chicago show¬ing of Louise Ullrich’s new Austrianpicture, “Die Schatten der Vergan-genheit.”The Spanish film, “I PoderosoCaballero” tells of two beggars anda lottery ticket. It does not haveEnglish titles.Stellar oddity is the showing of“Quest,” a Japanese film which hasjust been brought to this countryand which explains its story by theuse of English titles.The la.st picture this quarter, onDecember 14th, is a stunning comedyof a ski chase in the Aarlberg andSt. Anton region of the AustrianTyrol.Hu Shih FindsJapanese **TaxChina *s Patience“War may be forced upon us byJapan, for patience, even Chinese pa¬tience, can be taxed beyond endur¬ance,” stated Dr. Hu Shih, eminentChinese philosopher, before membersof International House at the mid¬week tea last Wednesday evening.Continuing his informal discussionof conditions in China, Dr. Hu de¬clared that in the event of war Rus¬sia, Great Britain and the UnitedStates will undoubtedly be involvedand underlined his statement by say¬ing “Don’t think you can get out ifthere is any war. In the next war inthe Pacific, these powers will be in¬volved because the stupidity of themilitarist is infinite, is always infin¬ite.”The philosopher, described by Timeas the “greatest of modern thinkers,”told of the progress being made in ed¬ucation in China. He explained theplan inaugurated last year coveringa five-year period wherein every childbetween the ages of seven and twelvewill be assured of one year of freeeducation, and Dr. Hu explained that“this is a moderate beginning tobroader plans for the future.”Dr. Hu emphasized the growingfeeling of national consciousness inChina and attributed some of the rea¬sons for this national unity to the ex¬tensive network of railroads beingconstructed all over China, and themany roads being built throughoutthe provinces. Dr. Hu sees these im¬provements important in the defenseof China for he says, “Defense de¬pends upon internal solidarity as wellAccording to Dr. Hu, communism isnot growing in China and is of littleaccount except for the two small, rel¬atively unimportant provinces theynow hold.While in America, he was the Chi¬nese delegate to the Institute of Pa¬cific Relations held this summer andthen journeyed eastward across thecontinent to receive honorary degreesat the Harvard Tercentenary this fall.Dr. Hu leaves for the west coast to¬day. Chaplin’s **Modern Times”ScoresHit in Russia, Says Eastman(Thin is the second of tivo articleson the status of the motion picturein the Soviet Union, as related toa Maroon reporter by Dr. FredEastman of the Chicago Theologi¬cal Seminary, who made a studyof the industry on his rocent Eu¬ropean tour.)One of the few American picturescurrent in Russia, and one of the mostpopular in the Soviet Union today isChaplin’s “Modern Times.” While itseemed to me that they completely. missed the sa¬tire, becausethey are stillin the stage0 f machineworship andaren’t sophis-t i c a t e denough a syet to see them a c h i n e’sshort - com¬ings, yet theRussian sa p p r e c i-ate Charlie’sd i f f i c u 1-ties with ma¬chinery andderive hugeamuse-Dr. Fred Eastman nient fromhis struggles.In connection with the problem ofthe machine, I found that Russiandirectors have many difficulties withwhich to contend. Materials are veryexpensive. One batch of film from afactory may be perfect and the nextimpossible to use, due to lack ofstandards and the uneven function¬ing of the industrial setup as a whole.Consequently they are forced to econ¬omize. A Russian director Wouldbe horrified at an American produ¬cer’s tremendous waste of film. Hehas to use every foot and must be amarvel of ingenuity at makingevery foot count. I think this is anadvantage, since the director mustbe his own cutter and editor andmust personally oversee every stepof production. Incidentally, this isthe explanation of the developmentof montage.Distribution Offers ProblemsAs to distribution, here alsothe Soviet policy is completely differ¬ent. There are 17 major studios, en¬joying a State owned monopoly.These must serve 135,(X)0 “exhibitioncenters” all over the Union, as con¬trasted with about l.'),30() in thiscountry.

ROOM COMPLAINTEditor,The Daily Maroon:I would like to call to your atten¬tion that the phonograph concerts us¬ually held in Social Science assemblyhave been made impossible on Tues¬days and Thursdays because a classis being held in that room at thattime. It seems to me that with thenumber of empty rooms on campusat that time of day it is hardly nec¬essary to chose that room for a classwhen it is the only room on campuswith suitable facilities for phono¬graph concerts. Winifred LeedsLEXY COMES FORWARDEditor,The Daily Maroon:Harold Lee Hitchens and AlfredDe Grazia Jr. have touched me in asore spot. Somehow they ha^ dis¬covered that my knowledge of musicis minute. You can imagine thetough time I have at dances when Ican’t tell a zipful zestful fox trotmarch from a waltz. But unfortu¬nately I have heard other bands fromother schools, Butler for instance,play marches so that they sound likemarches.In regard to the concert fox trot atthe Vanderbilt game, I was there, Iheard and enjoyed it, I rose and ap¬plauded with the rest. It was somuch superior to anything that theband has done previously that thestands rose in spontaneous ovation.You may remember that the columnsaid it was “ably rendered.” Butwhat I tried to ask is why the bandcouldn’t put the same effort and skillinto a Chicago march.But enough of argument. You fel¬lows have cleared up the situationconsiderably, and between us I hopethat we have brought the pitifulstate of the band to light. The bandis suffering from the same penny-pinching activities that the rest ofthe extra-curricular activities herehave to endure. Let’s get togetherand see if we can’t start a real cam¬paign for money and student supportfor the band. Maybe the Maroonwill help. The Phoenix ought to bedying to get into some kind of astruggle.

Soon distinguishing himselfin police work, when the man wasneeded to organize a squad of “Un¬touchables” to smash A1 Capone’s al¬cohol runners, Ness was chosen. Hisclean-up work was so effective thatin the year the “Untouchables” oper¬ated, gangsters lost over $1,000,000.With depleted bankrolls and the endof prohibition “Scarface Al’s” gangwas unable to finance other large-crime.Last month Ness was named direc¬tor of public safety in Cleveland, be- jcoming at 32 one of the youngest men Iin the country at the head of the jpolice force of a major city. Begin¬ning his work with the energy whichhad reduced “Chicago’s shame” to an |unpleasant memory, Ness immediate- ily ordered the most extensive clean-1up in the history of the Cleveland po- !lice depatrment. iCommented the Cleveland Plain;Dealer: “That young fellow, Eliot iNess, down at the City Hall again jgives this city a striking demonstra- :tion of the courage and brains a safe- ,ty director ought to have. j« « IDedicating his life to the Medical iMission service, Norbert Leckband,'who received his M.D. from Rush jMedical college in 1930, has founded jthe Missouri Lutheran church and jAmbur Lutheran hospital at the townof Ambur in southern India, one hun¬dred miles inland from the east coastof Madras.

Gideonse, associ¬ate professor of Economics, betweenPremier Blum’s new deal for Ftanceand our own of a few years ago. TheFrench have translated work-hourregulation, wage-fixing, and mone¬tary inflation, into their language,but they still have a familiar ring.Probably the most dangerousFrench measure is monetary devalu¬ation, which cannot fail to call to themind of every Frenchman the wild in¬flation of a decade ago. It has beenpresumably to avoid irritating thissensitive spot in the French make-upthat the step has been delayed solong, but, surprisingly enough, thedevaluation of the franc has served—for a time, at least—to strengthenthe position of the popular front.Many Factors InvolvedBut hour-cutting, along with othermeasures, introduces new compexities.The situation involves such a multi-picity of factors that precise predic¬tion of the French political future isquite impossible at the present time.Of this, however. Professor Gide¬onse is certain: “The pinch will come.It must. A reduction in the numberof week work-hours at an unchangedweekly wage and a cheapened cur¬rency are costly business. The aver¬age Frenchman is paying much morefor everything—and it’s not comingfrom the sky! Sooner or later, theFrench are going to have a good caseof indigestion. They can’t help itanymore than we could here.”On to Old Age?Blum’s front has already passedthe usual age of French cabinets andw'hether or not it will reach old agedepends not only upon the temporarysuccess of its policies, but upon theability of shrewd Premier Blum tohold in check the antagonistic ele¬ments w'hich have placed him in pow’-er.Prof. Gideonse said that the short- EconomistHARRY D.

The Princetonchapel is non-sectarian; likewise itis entirely devoid of the parochial¬ism and academic provincialism towhich the religious organizations of.so many schools succumb. Attendanceis required at all Chapel servicesWicks during his sojourn here lastyear expressed the desire that student interest in the chapel at Prince¬ton might equal that of the studentshere.Before Wicks assumed duties ofhis present position, he was chaplainof Mt, Holyoke College at Holyoke,Massachusetts from 1925 to 1928.

The burial is private, butthe funeral services will be open tothe public.Her death brings to an abrupt closethe colorful career of one of Chi¬cago’s most brilliant personalities.The “Duchess of Bubbly Creek” gave40 years of her life to an understand¬ing of social relations in her work atthe University Settlement. She con¬cerned herself with the woes of theunfortunate; she defended labor; shebefriended the immigrant; she wonthe confidence of all races.Mrs, Charles W. Gilkey says this ofher: “She was a most vivid and force¬ful woman; she had respect for ev¬eryone and she expected the samefrom all else.

TheAthletic officer reports that ticketsales for the game are “very good"although specific figures are not ob¬tainable.• • «Purdue alumni and coaches arerather galled by the action of NelsonT. Metcalf, director of Athletics, inbreaking off football relations withthe Boilermakers. A Purdue pub¬licity release typically makes the fol¬lowing little dig: “The Maroon pur¬suing the policy of cutting down theseverity of their schedule, have notrescheduled the Boilermakers for thenext season.”Purdue alumni have more or lesspublicly spread the rumor that theMaroons can’t take defeat, as they<iid victory, and are breaking the tra¬dition while the series still remainsheavily in their favor.While the defeats of the past eightyears have been overwhelming witha single exception, the Maroons showthat they are not afraid of toughtjams by retaining Ohio State, Van¬derbilt and adding Princeton, tomake next year’s schedule eventougher than this year’s.The action has rather been inspir¬ed by the recurrences of unpleasant¬nesses and roughing in connectionwith the game between the players ofthe two teams. The same motive haslead to the dropping of Indiana fromtheMaroon’s schedule for the future.• * *Chicago plans to meet only fourConference opponents per season be¬ginning next year. Games will beplayed regularly with Michigan, Il¬linois, and Wisconsin, and the fourthopponent will vary from year to year,according to present plans.Highlights of the schedule for thefuture as now lined up is the seriesof two games with Harvard for 1938and 1939.*Interesting among the rivalries ofthe weekend is the inva.sion of Lin¬coln by Indiana for a game with thehigh-stepping Cornhuskers. CoachBo MacMillan is a former coach ofKansas State, member of the BigSix conference, where he crossedswords, or rather matched tactics,with Dana X.

Both were members of thefamous four hoi’semen combinationwhich first brought Notre Dame tothe forefront of national football.Both teams are in top physical condi¬tion, but Notre Dame rates far abovethe Badgers.Badger fans are looking forwardto a revival under their new coach,and even though the team has lost itslast two starts against Marquette andPurdue, the team morale is high. “We may not have the biggestband band in the world, but we dohave the biggest drum>” said Direc¬tor Harold Bachman of the Universi¬ty band yesterday. He was discuss¬ing the problems presented by gettinga band ready to march at a footballgame and disclosing the mechanismwhich lies behind the execution ofthe maneuvers.The rivalry between Purdue andChicago on the gridiron, has extend¬ed even to the size of the big bassdrums of the rival bands. For someyears, the Purdue drum with a headseven feet in diameter, was thelargest in the world, but today it isthe second largest, as the Maroonmusicians now possess a drum fullyone foot larger.Mr. Bachman said that officials ofthe company from which the Uni¬versity purchased the drum assuredhim there would never be anotherone larger as the difficulties expe¬rienced in making the present Ma¬roon boomer w’ere so great, the con¬struction of a larger drum appearsimpossible because of the size skinnecessary for the heads is not grown.Explain Band MechanismThe director under whose leader¬ship the membership of the band hasjumped from about 50 to more than70 then disclosed the mechanismlying behind the operation of a col¬lege band and its formations. Theideas for the stunts which the bandperforms are gleaned from variousband contests, American Legiondrum and bugle corps perfonnances,and some are entirely original withthe director, said he.These formations are then filedaway in the director’s office for ref¬erence, and from them the foiTna-tions are planned. Some things w’hicha leader must keep in mind whenplanning an afternoon’s program heenumerated as follows. The bandmust have music it can play well,and in getting this the amount oftime which can be devoted to practiceTable Tennis StarsWin Easily in FirstRounds of TourneyIn the three games played thusfar, seeded players McNeil, Jacobs,and Kobak won easily to advance inthe Reynolds club table tennis tourna¬ment. All first round matches mustbe played by Monday.John Krietenstein, Universitychampion, received a bye for the firstround. Practicing up for this tourn¬ament, “Kriet” took on Jimmy Mc¬Clure, Indianapolis national rank¬ing star, the other night at the AlphaDelt hou.se. Although the boys werenot playing seriously, Krietensteinreceived some valuable help on hisgame, which already is good enoughto seed him first.Although his play is mostly de¬fensive, Harold Greenberg, runner-up last year, has been known to havehis moments of .slugging. These how¬ever are few during tournament playwhen he is fairly evenly matched.University champion a few yearsago, Gordon McNeil, the smashingsouthpaw, after receiving a bye inhis first round, yesterday advanced tothe third bracket by overwhelmingDick Finn with a barrage of smashesin the first game. After running upa lead he coasted to a 21-14 and thenended with a quick 21-10 victory.Seeded fourth, Gordon Jacobs, af¬ter winning the first 21-19, suc¬cumbed to the brilliant play of hisopponent Kringe to lose 21-12 in thesecond.In the other game played Matt Ko-bak’s vicious serves proved too muchfor Covert and he advanced to thesecond round with a 21-16, 21-19 win. must be taken into consideration, andalso the time allotted in which toperform the maneuvers.Membership OptionalThe University of Chicago band issomewhat handicapped in this re¬spect as band here is merelyoptional while at other schools it isgiven as a credit course and forcedtraining is given under military dis¬cipline. Even as Mr. Bachman wassaying this, a player came up to tellhim he would not be at practice thisevening because of a downtown per¬formance he wished to attend. 'Thisinability to secure 100 per cent at¬tendance at practices often lessensthe accuracy and precision of theformations.Then Mr. Bachman introduced meto the technical part of the prepara¬tions. One of the major problems ofl)reparation is the synchronization ofthe music with the marching. Allthis must be planned ahead, andmaps are drawn up for the differentformations with the different pieces.showing where each player is to go.“Continuity” ProgramNot only does each player have amap of the program for each piece,but he is provided with what isknown as a “Continuity” program di¬recting his actions for the entireafternoon. Thus what occurs in afew minutes before the eyes of thespectators is really the result ofweeks of planning and practice.Saturday, the band’s appearancewill be rather brief, as Purdue’s 142piece military band will be on handand Mr. Bachman is giving specta¬tors a full chance to see this nation¬ally famous organization. The Boiler¬maker’s alphabetical musicians notedfor their intricate letter marchingformations, will perform both beforeand between halves, presenting anumber of “brand new novelties inhonor of the occasion.” TJie Maroonband will appear only betweenhalves.Rivalry( Continued from page 1 )and Purvis waged titanic battle upand down the field, Purvis with thehelp of an excellent team; Berwang-er with the help of a refusal to ac¬cept defeat. Three times did the Chi¬cago team come to third down withten whole yards to go, and as manytimes did Berwanger and TommyFlinn confound their opponents bymaking the necessary ten yards. Thefinal score was 26-20 for Purdue,but it was a moral victory for Chi¬cago and especially for Berw’anger.Last year the Purdue team ran upa 19-0 score, and Cecil Isbell showedno signs of his advertised incapac¬itated arm. This year without evenan advertised injury, the Purdueteam comes to the Midway with theintent to end the series with a whirl¬wind of scoring, while the Maroons,weaker than last year, are preparedto stage a last ditch struggle to keepthe score down, or even turn thetables. Dickson ExplainsHis New Proofs ofWaring’s 'TheoremIt takes Prof. Leonard E, Dicksonof the University forty-five hours toexplain to advanced students thelogic of his newest discoveries aboutnumbers. But the noted Midway alge¬braist, now returned from the Har¬vard meetings where he won the ap¬plause of leading mathematicians,can present his findings to a laymanin a few minutes.Dr. Dickson has proved “War¬ing’s theorem,” a problem on whichmathematicians have been workingfor 170 years.Honored at HarvardAt Harvard’s Tercentenaryexercises last month Professor Dick¬son was one of four world-famousmathematicians who received honor¬ary degrees. He holds the EliakimH. Moore Distinguished Service Pro¬fessorship.Edward Waring, Professor Dick¬son explains, was professor of math¬ematics at Cambridge University,England, in the 18th century. War¬ing’s famous theorem stems from anolder theorem, of which there hasbeen proof for nearly 200 years. Thisolder theorem is as follows:Every whole number is the sum offour or fewer exact squares. Forexample, the number fifteen is thesum of 9 plus 4 plus 1 plus 1.Waring claimed that every w'holenumber is the sum of nine or fewerpositive cubes, but he had no logicalproof that this rule applies to everynumber up to infinity. He claimedalso that every whole number is thesum of nineteen or fewer fourth pow¬ers, and implied that this type ofseries could be extended indefinite¬ly, for example that every wholenumber is the sum of thirty-sevenor fewer fifth powers.W'aring’s TheoremIn 1909, Dr. Dickson explains,Professor Weiferich of Germany con¬clusively proved Waring’s theoremas it applies to cubes. It was foundthat only two among all conceivablew'hole numbers requires all ninecubes. These were the numbers 23and 239. Twenty-three requires 8plus 8 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus 1 plus1 plus 1 plus 1.Dr. Dickson has now announcedproof for the validity of Waring’stheorem for seventh powers, eighthpowers and ninth powers, and hasdeveloped logical proof that theseries can be extended for all other“exponents” higher than these. Proofhas not yet been developed for fourth,fifth and sixth powers. Among Dr.Dickson’s findings are these:That every whole number is thesum of 143 or fewer seventh powers.That every whole number is thesum of 279 or fewer eighth powers.That every whole numbeir is thesum of 548 or fewer ninth powers.Only one number—2,175—requiresall 143 of the seventh powers. Thisis the sum of sixteen 128’s (128 be¬ing the seventh power of 2) and one-hundred twenty-seven I’s (the sev¬enth power of 1 being 1). “Yx)u can’tget it any cheaper,” Dr. Dicksonsays.

After last week’s35-14 lacing by Purdue, the Badgersare not accorded much chance againstthe Irish, but not discouraged bythree defeats, Harry Stuldreher’smen may give their undefeated hostsa close call.Renewing a rivalry that startedwhen he coached in the Big Six,Coach B McMillin of Indiana willpit his grid gladiators against thetouted Nebraska eleven at Lincoln.Smarting under last week’s defeat byMinnesota, the Cornhuskers will beout to get revenge. Headed by theirace backfield stars, Cardwell andFrancis, the Huskers are favored toplunge and pass their way into thevictory column.Rifle Club FixesFinal Range HoursBefore an audience of approx¬imately fifty students, Carl A. Hen-rikson, faculty sponsor of the Rifleclub conducted a “School of Fire”yesterday afternoon in the Northlounge of the Reynolds Club. Afterthe demonstration ended, the Rifleclub made public the hours the shoot¬ing range in the West Stands will beopen.Hours for the range are: Monday,1:30-4-15, Pistol; Thuesday, 3:30-6,7-10, rifle; Wednesday, 3:30-6, pistol;Thursday, 3:30-6, rifle; 7-10, pistol;Friday, 3:30-6, rifle; Saturday, 9-12,rifle.Henrikson displayed the correctmanner of holding a gun to eliminatethe most possible recoil jolt. There¬upon he explained various positionsof tournament fire. Indiana, fresh from last week’s winover Michigan, is certainly to beconsidered in the running. New de¬ceptive running plays and numerouspasses were in evidence as the Hoo¬siers rehearsed their formations thisweek. Encouraging to the McMillin-men was the report that in practiceIndiana pass plays were baffling theHuskers.Illinois makes a jaunt into Iowatomorrow to engage Ossie Solem’sHawkeyes. It was known yesterdaythat Ligget, a 225 pound tackle forIowa, will not be able to play thuscomplicating Solem’s shortage ofguards and tackles. The Hawkeyespresented a juggled lineup again thisweek, and are apparently worriedabout the impending trouble with themini.GRAND 2^®!^ 2 WEEKSBeg.

V. SMITH(Professor of Philosophy)I am after all only an ignorantman and a philosopher, bat I amstruck by tw'o things in the campaign.First, the amount of heat there is init. Second, how little difference thereis between the platforms of the twogreat parties. There is, of course,an enormous difference in nationalexperience betw'een Mr. Landon andMr. Roosevelt. There is also a mark¬ed difference historically between“the seepage theory of welfare” ofthe Republicans and the cooperativetheory of the Democrats, But thislatter is a standing difference whichw'e take for granted. Beyond thesedifferences, are yon struck with howmuch alike the two parties are?Rival PromisesNot merely in the platforms,either. Why, it seems to me that Mr.Roosevelt can hardly get out of hismouth a promise of what he’s goingto do before Mr. Landon claims thathe has already promised that or thathe’s going to promise it in his nextspeech. Especially is this true of thefarmers. Why, in this new economyof abundance, the farmer is going tobe able to plow' under the Republi¬can row of pi’omi.se.s and still be w’ellprovided for, by the program weDemocrats already have going. Thecountry owes the Democrats a vote ofthanks for making agriculture re-pectable for Republicans to espouse.Both Want RecoveryBeyond this common desire to runthe government and to run it well,both parties desire the recovery ofprivate industry. Both have plan¬ned it; and though the plans differsomewhat, the end is one and thesame. Both have had a whack atunemployment; neither has cured it;but both still hope that it can becured through private employment.Meantime, both promise relief, doleor w'ork, to all deserving needy citi¬zens. Howr much in earnest the Re¬publicans are in this imitation ofRoosevelt is shown by their willing¬ness to guarantee relief even againstan unbalanced budget. GovernorLandon’s declaration that he willmake savings from the hides of “poli¬tical exploiters” is to be understood,we Midwesterners know', as a home¬ly form of political humor. I thinkit’s slyness was missed in the East.Here in the Middle-West the hides of])oliticians, how'ever thick, are muchbetter for political panning than forany commercial tanning. Statisticsshow' that the last corporation organ¬ized for excess profits from tanningpolitical hides w'ent broke out herein 1931. Thar’s no real money inthem hides. It is such humor as thisthat is rapidly raising Governor Lan¬don’s reputation to that of the Kan¬sas Hoover. Such humor is very com¬mon among mining engineers and in¬dependent oil operators.Both Help CitizensBoth parties are prepared to usethe federal govei'nment and federaltaxes to do what neither w’ould havethought of doing a few years ago.And w'hat thing is this: To keep or¬der? No, that's an old duty. To pro¬tect against external danger? No, that’s old. But this is new: to havegovernment guarantee a minimumstandard of life for all citizens. Thatis the new job of government, andboth parties accept it as a new, im¬perative duty. 'This is a new pathfor our democracy, and a dangerousone; but both Republicans and Demo¬crats agree that it’s more dangerousnot to take it. Here is the great newagreement, costly beyond past bud¬gets, but laid upon us by the marchof time and the pressure of events.Have Much in CommonHow much our two parties havein common, against domestic radicalsand against alien philosophies of gov¬ernment! Is this fact of having somuch in common the reason for therising hate in the campaign—so littledifference that the “outs” must drumup an issue and then make it seemreal by hating Roosevelt? Perhaps youdo not remember, but I can neverforget how this man Roosevelt’s hu¬mane handling of problem after prob¬lem eased the tension when all of uswere in the dumps. Nor dare eitherof us forget that dark days are stillahead for many of our fellow-citi¬zens. His great experience and hisdeep sympathy for men in distressare characteristics that we maygrieve for if we foolishly forego themwhile our national need is great.Who awoke the American peopleto erosion as the deadly cancer ofour soil? Who taught the Americanpeople what governmental credit’sgood for, w hen private and local cre¬dit is gone? Who gave the bank¬er stamina enough to face his anxi¬ous depositors once more? Who setthe business man upon a course pros- PhilosopherT. V. SMITH...An ‘’ignorant man” writes ofpolitics.perous enough to pay taxes and lust¬ily to complain, as of yore, while do¬ing so? Who had the sympathy andcourage to lift social security fromthe rosy mists of dreamland to a causerespectable enough for GovernorLandon? Who brought morale to apeople dispirited, supplanting fearwith courage and dismay with hope?It is that I leave with you—aquestion less of partisanship than ofsportmanship. Who substituted forHoover’s frown at the inevitable asmile that set the nation once moreon its way? Who taught us all thatif we’d quit fearing fear we mightyet conquer danger with effort andthrough mastery welcome happy daysonce more? Do You Absquatulate? Rush ^Over to Classics and Find OutBy MARJORIE SEIFRIEDOn the fourth floor of Classics asmall staff has been gathering ma¬terial for its seemingly endless proj¬ect of writing huge dictionary ofAmerican English. Thus far, onepart has been published, which bare¬ly covers the first letter of the alpha¬bet.Among the extensive files are no¬tations with a few personal remarksattached. The one word which seemsto be more remarkable than anyother is the extraordinary Americanmanufactured expression, absquatu¬late. Its etymology is simple enough:ah from the Latin meaning away,and squat meaning to settle. In itsfullest sense it means to run awayfrom one’s habitat; however its usesand implications carry a longer andmore involved history.Story of a WordIn Marryat’s Diary of 1839 thereis a vivid description of its techni¬cal origin. Apparently there had beensome argument over the honor ofhaving discovered such a word andthe diary attempts to settle the argu¬ment by saying, “There is one wordwhich we must surrender up to theAmericans as their very own, as thechildren say. The editor of the Phil¬adelphia Gazette is wrong in callingabsquatulated a Kentucky phra.se (hemay well say phrase instead ofword). It may prevail there, but itsorigin was in South Carolina, whereit was a few years since regularlyderived from the* Latin, as we canprove from undoubted authority.There is another report that theword was first used in Bernard’splay “The Kentuckian” in 1833. Thecharacter Nimrod Wildfire exclaims in menacing tones that bode no oneany good, “If you absquatulate, youare ded before you can say JackRobinson.”Obviously the word was popular with the W’esterners, for it could bedeclamed with terrifying affect. Theanonymous edition of "Life in theWest” of 1842 contains an equallyeffective! pa.^sage. It reads, “Somepeople think they are stronger thanthey actually are, and, counting ontheir strength, get awfully sucked,rum-squaddled, and in the end arehappy to make a straight coattail,and absquatulate.”SOAP BOXOUT TODAYFeaturing. . .ROBERT MORSS I.OVETT—“Why 1 Will Votefor Thomas"ISAK ROSENFELD—“A Lesson in Politics fromMonoliths".
