Chinese LeaderAttacks Japan Socialist Finds January ^Soapbok’Worthy of Praise But Lacks VerveBy BOB SPEERSoapbox is loose on the campusagain, or will be. Editor Ogren an¬nounces that the January issue goeson sale tomorrow, and probably theembattled members of the SocialistClub will be buttonholing people forthe next week.As a Socialist, as, one who aroseat 5:30 the other morning and putin a long day proofreading the damnthing, as a contributor to previousissues of the magazine, it hardlyseems quite ethical for me to be re¬viewing it. I did once before andran into trouble.All right then. I admit I’m prej-diced.The reason I’m so worried about.all this, is that I’m going to have to jpraise parts of the magazine. Butthe readers, if they choose, may skipsuch sections on the grounds thatthey are insidious propaganda. Forinstance, there is Norman Thomas’lead article, a fine piece of work, inwhich Thomas addresses a word ofadvice to the ASU and effectivelypoints out the imbecility of affiliat¬ing oneself with a national Farmer-l^abor Party which doesn’t exist. Ithing, while I will be sneered at bymy comrades to the right, that thisarticle should be made required ing of their views. And pointing outto such lengths as Farrell’s, that abook is insignificant would seem tobe in itself a condemnation of thereview. Not only that, but Farrell’sarticle is sloppily written. Whilecriticising Seldes’ interpretation ofMarx, Farrell might himself havebrushed up on his dialectic. The netimpression is one of confusion, andwhile the reader remarks manypithy precepts as he reads, he stilldoesn’t know what to think of Seldeswhen he finishes.Winston Ashley’s two poems.

The editorial policy of theTribune has been fair not only to theUniversity but to academic freedom.’’The Daily Maroon’s quarrel is notwith the Tribune’s handling of Uni¬versity of Chicago affairs. It is with•he principles on which the Tribunehas in general based its journalisticpolicies.Schedule Moviesfor InternationalHouse Theatre“Representative Films ofNations’’ is the underlying theme ofthe foreign film, series scheduled byInternational House in collaborationwith the Renaissance Society forshowing during the winter quarter.Chosen for their intrinsic excel-lence, the following movies have beententatively proposed by the Intel¬lectual Activities Committee of theStudent Council for the film pro¬grams held every Monday night.China, “Song of China’’; England,“The Ghost Goes West’’; France,“Kermesse Heroique’’; Germany,“Die Schatten der Vergangenheit’’;Iieland, “Man of Aran’’; Italy, “Gin-evera degli Almieri’’; Japan,“Quest’’; Mexico, “Thunder OverMexico’’; Scj^ndinavia, “Valborgs-massorafton’’; United States, “Mod¬ern Times’’; U.S.S.R., “We AreFrom Kronstadt” Receiving the greatest ovation ofthe ASU convention, Loh Tsei,known as the “Chinese Joan of Arc”and a delegate from the All-ChinaStudent Union, lashed out againstJapanese imperialism during the af¬ternoon session, Tuesday, December28.The Chinese student can have “nopeace, no freedom, no security” solong as his native land is dismem¬bered by the troops from Nippon,said Miss Loh, who is a student atTsing Hua University in Peiping.A year ago, on December 9, oc¬curred the first spontaneous studentdemonstration against Japanese ag¬gression. In the weeks following,tens of thousands of students march¬ed on Peiping. On December 20 amass demonstration was called. Po¬lice locked the gates of the cityagainst the marchers. Miss Lohsqueezed through a gap in the walland opened the gates to the strikers.She was severely beaten by Japan-se police and several students werekilled in the ensuing riot.Union Muthroom* OvernightIn the days succeeding the strike,“the movement spread like wildfire,”according to Miss Loh. The StudentUnion Strike Committee, which hadcontrolled the strike, was duplicatedin virtually every school and univer¬sity in China. These unions feder¬ated later into the All-China StudentUnion, which now has a membershipof about 200,000. The Union carriesi its anti-Japanese message through- World 1 Never Made, and the StudsLonigan trilogy, contributes a critic¬ism of Gilbert Seldes’ Mainland.Tracing Seldes’ transition from in¬tellectual to lowbrow, Farrell’s irony,while piercing, manages to disappointme.

Lillie Elected toNew Science PostAt the recent convention of theAmerican Association for the Ad¬vancement of Science in AtlanticCity, Ralph S. Lillie, professor ofPhysiology, was elected vice-presi¬dent of the zoology division.It will be the duty of ProfessorLillie to preside at the meeting ofhis division which will be heldsometime during the coming year.In addition he will read a paper atthe same meeting. Every year since 1932, each en¬tering freshman class has been re¬quested, sometime during Freshmanweek, to fill in an inventory concern¬ing their vocational choices. In areport recent published by the Boardof Vocational Guidance and Place¬ment, it was revealed that more stu¬dents entering the University in1936 were undecided as to the pro¬fession they wished to select thanwhen the questionnaires were firstgiven. The percentages show the menmore certain of their future occupa¬tion than the women; there has beenan increasing demand for aid fromthe students in choosing their pro¬fession.Only in the medical school hasthere been an increase in the num¬ber selecting that field as a vocation.The largest decline was in the Lawschool. The largest percentage ofwomen are entering the field of edu¬cation but there has been a decidedtendency toward the natural sci¬ences.Robert C, Woellner, executive sec¬retary of the Board of VocationalGuidance and Placement, said “Ourpast experience indicates that thesefindings, although interesting, lackfull significance because many ofthe students change their vocationalobjectives before graduation. This,although as it should be, only servesto emphasize the necessity of chal¬lenging all students whether or notthey indicate a choice of vocation.

Dur¬ing this final w'eek of rushing, fresh¬men will be forbidden to sit withfraternity men in the Coffee Shop orother campus meeting places. How¬ever, informal conversation on thecampus will be allowed.Regulate FreshmanAlso it was brought out that fora freshman to rush other freshmenwill be construed as illegal rushingfor the hou.se involved. For instance,if a legacy should have an organ¬ized function for other freshmen itwill be reported as a violation of therules.Other regulations pas.sed by thecommittee concerned the last day’sactivities. Innovation for this dayis the provision that freshmen whoare invited to the house for the eve¬ning meal may stay for the entireevening if they desire to do so. How¬ever, it was stressed that they mayleave tK) ’attend another 'hoi4se ifthey so wish.Change Rushing CodeFreshmen who are invited to lun¬cheon on the last day may returnto that same house in the eveningafter 9. Houses may not schedulethis as a function on their formal in¬vitations but it will be all right fora verbal invitation to be issued tothe freshmen when they are at thenoon luncheon. 'Again "there will be an efficientpolicing system set up for the finalnight. Representatives of the I-Fcommittee will visit each house after10:30 to see if all freshmen haveleft. They will also canvass all cam¬pus, meeting places both on the SouthSide and downtown.Alumni of CTSSponsor AnnualMinister’s ConclaveChoose Faris Headof Sociological GroupEllsworth Faris, professor andchairman of the department of So¬ciology, was elected president of theAmerican Sociological Society at itsannual meeting held this year inChicago during the Christmas vaca¬tion.

More enemities are born,more friendships threatened than at any othertime.As competition for the favor of the freshmenTeaches fever heat during this period whichculminates in the final intensive weeks, collegemen stoop to many highly unethical practices,in much the same manner as do businessmenwhen faced by highly organized intense com¬petition. Acting much as does the Better Bus¬iness bureau in the realm of economic competi¬tion, the Interfraternity committee has takenupon itself the job of policing the fraternityrushing functions.Uast year at the instigation of The Daily Ma-"Toon a new rushing code was set up. It stress¬es generalities rather than specific instances,and moreover it is a flexible instrument whichcan be construed to cover a variety of offenses.Dean Smith has said that he will be liberal inhis construction of “what is rushing.”^ With the rushing code well in mind, frater¬nities must stop and take stock of themselves.Rushing has been defined as “any contactbetween a member of a fraternity, whether anactive or an alumnus, and a freshmen, whichis used in any way by the fraternity man forthe purpose of influencing the freshman infavor of joining the said fraternity.” This defi¬nition is broad, purposely so, in order thatthe fraternities which will be temped to vio-'late it will study the consequences before theymake a move.The changes in the rushing period which are;announced today are aimed at the relief ofmany annoying points which have come up<luring past years. The first, no Saturday func¬tions, shortens the period, breaks the strain ofthe intensive week, and removes a periodThe ABC’s which is inconvenient for many. The’changeswhich concern the last day should rernove anytemptations to make illegal contacts.The Daily Maroon following a policy ofmany years standing will reveal any violationsthat come to its attention. Following, anysuch revelation, and the publicity which willinevitably attend it, the InteAraternity com¬mittee can not fail to take action.—E. S. S.Struggles of a University. . universities should stand for the freedom and theopportunity of the human mind to inquire into, to teach,and to publish the truth as found in the laboratory, thelibrary, and in human relations. There have been threehistoric periods in the struggle of universities to haveiree access to the basis of power and control in an age.Universitica have in successive periods won freedom fromecclesiastical, political, and economic control. Today asformerly there is the struggle for freedom to considerthe human implications of the economic structure.”—President Frank Porter Graham of the Uni¬versity of North Carolina in a discussion onfclifl A \ academic freedom. University MazagineOne school of philosophy believes thatevery institution must have its own function inthe civilization of today or else it should giveway to a more progressive element. That anorganization which depends on public supportmust have its function is obvious. Whether itis serving its function can be more easily fore¬told with regard to this type of institutionthan those serving private individuals.Of this type is a college magazine whichdepends on the support of the college for itscirculation, of the community for its adver¬tising. The magazine occupies a peculiar placeamong college publications. The studentnewspaper may tell the day-to-day happeningsin the University while the yearbook gives asummary of the school year, but there remainsa great field of literary work that can not becovered adequately by either of theseOne field to which many college magazinesare devoted is humor. Some but not many ofthese organs have taken a broad viewpointand included matter of a more serious vein.Chicago has had its humor magazine,whichduring its era was considered one of the bet¬ter college magazines in the country.But with regard to the University of Chi¬cago at least the era of the humor magazinewent out with the rah-rah college boy and theintroduction of the Chicago Plan. However,there remains on the campus the large gap tobe filled by a magazine. What must thefunction of this magazine be?It must contain more than mere trivial jokesand humorous incidents. It must contain fea¬ture articles of worth that are interesting themore serious students in their lighter moodsand to the less serious in their deeper moods.In this type of article are commentaries onUniversity life and on the world in general.There must be intelligent criticism of the vari¬ous types of student interests; and there mustbe articles of the human-interest type. Butabove all, the magazine must be broad in itsappeal to the campus which will support it.—E.S.S.The Travelling BazaarBy WARNER CROUCHTo the clan which turns briskly but with pseudo-boredom to this page and then remarks with all thefury of a third assistant janitor who has just wonthe grand prize in the Irish sweepstakes, “Why Ididn’t dream they knew I’d done that,” to thosecheerful, misguided souls who, catching us un¬awares, wring our hand and offer the greeting wehave just heard for the hundredth time, “HappyNew Year, old man.

Editor, Daily Maroon,Dear Sir:A chance remark made by a girlliving in one of our dormitories in¬spired this article. She supported thedenial of a hall in an American cityto the delegates who had been sentfrom Spain to solicit help for theirci^ntry and their people. The girlthen expressed a “Spain-is-none-of-our business” attitude that is shock¬ingly prevalent on our campus.I replied rather heatedly that ifthe Spanish people should lose theirheroic battle, it would be a loss to alldemocratic peoples; if they won, Iheld that it would be a glorious vic¬tory, not only for Spain, but for mil-I lions throughout the world,j Was 1 carried away by idealismj when I answered as I did? I writethis to atempt to jirove that I spokeI of realities—and grim ones.I We may feel justified in makingj certain generalizations from what weiiave seen in Spain. We hav’e seen[ large scale foreign intervention ini the present struggle. Not all of this! aid is as obvious as arms, shipments,: and direct help in the form of pianos' and men. Refusal, under the guise ofneutrality, to deal with a legally con-i stituted government with which* oneis not at war and which is at war with: no other nation (an unprecedentedact), recognition of the rebels asthe legal government of Spain, andvarious other practices, operate veryeffectively to influence the flow ofcommodities and therefore, to influ¬ence the course of the war. All ofthis makes the lineup of world pow¬ers much more extensive than wecan see upon the surface. We have every reason to believe that in tlu* fu.ture the defenders of democracy willhave to reckon, not only with thebarbaric forces in,their own countrvbut also with the Fascist nations ofthe world.At the same time they musi beable to look for help to the peopleof the remaining democratic coun¬tries. Now if the Fascist threat wouldhiake a permanent exit after its mostrecent escapade in Spain, my ladyfriend in the dormitory would becorrect. But with the number ofFascist countries and right-wing dic¬tatorships already large and gradual¬ly growing (Guatemala, most SouthAmerican countries, Au.stria, Hun¬gary, Italy, Germany, Roumania,Yugo.slavia. Poland, Turkey, andGreece—one of the most recent ad¬ditions), we find international tradebecoming increasingly more para¬lyzed (witness Hitler’s frantic at¬tempts to reduce imports by the en¬couragement of the use of substitutesfor various commodities, and thedi.sa.strous effects on the industries ofthe nations that formerly suppliedthese commodities). But it is justsuch paralysis that leads to furthereconomic depre.ssion, and therefore,fascism again.So we have no reason to believethat fascism will not strike in thefuture. We have every reason to lie-lieve that it will. And when it dues,if democracy has both lost Spainand gained another enemy, its posi¬tion will be weakened by just somuch food, money, men, eommuil-ities, munitions, and raw materi.ils,and Fasci.sm will be equally strength¬ened. The world will line up airain—Democracy will have a smalbrchance than before,—Fascism willI push on. breed it.self,—and .so on, -until it has reached our very doors.Why not stop its growth now beforeit is too late?Tomorrow I will treat with anotherimportant reason why we cannot bedeaf to Spain’s call for help.Miriam FineDREXEL THEATRE858 E. 63rdTodav“Wedding Present”JL “The Walking Dead“ 4Frolic Theatre55fh Cr ELLIS AVE.Wed.“VALIANT IS THEWORD FOR CARRIE”withArlene JudgeThur. and Fri.“STAGE STRUCK”withDick Powell - Joan Blondell DROP IN ATtheSTINEWAYDRUG STOREWarm UpwithHot Chocolatefrom ourSoda Fountain57th and KimbarkS, W.

JANUARY 6. 1937 Page ThreeMerrill Relates History ofRhodes Oxford ScholarshipsAssociate'Professor R. V. Merrill,ill ciiarge of Rhodes scholarship ap-pliiutions for the University, relates,in connection with the recent awardof a Rhodes scholarship to NormanDavidson, the history of theseawards.In 1899 the final will of Cecil JohnRhodes, wealthy South Africanstate.sman, created a stir amon^r theUniversity centers of the world; hestipulated that his wealth was to beused for 52 annual scholarships, dis-tiii.uted among the dominions of theBritish Empire and the United Statesof America.Atsignment*of AwardsOf these scholarships, twentywore assigned to the British Empirein the following manner: SouthAfrica, 8; Australia, 6; Canada, 2;and one for New Zealand, Newfound¬land. Jamaica, and Bermuda. Thirty-two scholarships were given to theI nited States. He declared that hispuipose in awarding them was toconsolidate Anglo-Saxon unity, “andthe foundation of so great a powera' to hereafter render war impos¬sible. and to promote the best inter¬ests of humanity.”Later he appropriated funds forIT) scholarships from Germany, stat¬ing. “A good understanding betweenKngland, Germany, and the UnitedStates of America will secure thepeace of the world and educationalrelations from the strongest tie.”The events of 1914 disproved hishopes, and the scholarships to Ger¬many were accordingly canceled bythe trustees, but were restored in1929.Merrill’* RecordProfessor Merrill, a Rhodes schol-ai' himself, attended Oxford Univer¬sity from 1913 to 1915, when he re¬ceived his'degree in Literae Human-iores. He stated that the Englishsecondary schools offer more thor¬ough training to their students, andcons<iuently the entering Freshmenare more advanced than Americanstudents of the same rank, “The.American student has a broadergeneralized knowledge of manythings,” said Merrill, “but the Eng¬lish student is better informed in hisone subject than the American is inall of his.”Oxford is composed of 22 collegesunder independent administrationand finance. The main purposes ofthe University as a unit are: togrant degiees; to formulate examsfor the degrees; to maintain a fewprofessor.ships held by distinguishedscholars; to maintain its own policeforce; and to elect two members toParliament,Field, of WorkMost of the Rhodes scholars havebeen interested in Jurisprudence;other intere.sts not far behind areMedicine, English, Literature, andModern History, There is no Busi¬ ness School, Fine facilities for in¬tensive research are offered by theBodleian Library, which receives acopy of every book printed in GreatBritain, The colleges, Merton andCorpus Christ! possess equally fam¬ous collections.The requirements for Rhodesscholars from the United States are:an approved degree from an approv¬ed University (which has the sanc¬tion of the Association of AmericanUniversities); a written endorsementfrom the head of his college or uni¬versity; students who hold the ap¬proved degree are exempt from allexaminations prior to the final hon¬our schools, and may obtain the B.A.or research degree in two years. Thethird year may be spent in furtherspecialization.Merrill spoke enthusiastically ofthe scholarships: “They are an ex¬cellent opportunity for ’ developingone’s training in almost any field.More specialization in individualcourses is offered at Oxford than inAmerica, and as a result most peopletake their B.A. in Oxford after re¬ceiving one here.” Today on theQuadranglesDramatic Association tryouts forWycherley's “The Country Wife”will continue today at 3:30 in theTower Room.Epiphany Candle-Lighting.

Cox, Professorof Finance in the School of Business,predicts.“Aside from the risk of a majorwar, indications are strong that em¬ployment and production in theUnited States will average better in1937 than in 1936,” Professor Coxsays. I“Certain professional forecasting iorganizations are pointing out that |since the summer of 1932 domestic irecovery in industrial production has ■taken place in five district waves ieach terminated by a more or less jsharp recession, that we are now faradvanced in a sixth wave, and thatboth this pattern and numerous cur¬rently disturbing factors point to¬ward an early decline of industrialproduction.“It will take more serious adversedevelopments than now seem likelyto prevent building construction, ex¬pansion of electric power facilities,rehabilitation of railroads, and, mod¬ernization of industrial equipmentfrom exceeding substantially in 1937the respective figures for 1936. Hadactivity in these fields been at higherlevels from 1932 to 1936 it is notlikely that the temporary set-backs in industrial production would havebeen nearly so sharp as they were.“The stabilization agreement be¬tween this country, Britain, andFrance should assist confidence with¬in the democratic countries. Mean¬while the sharp rise in French pricesappears to remove any threat ofdownward pressure upon Americanprices which the devaluation mightotherwise have caused.“The remarkable stability over thelast two years of wholesale prices ofnon-agiicultural commodities may, notpersist another year, but any rise in1937 is likely to be moderate. Al¬though in certain fields efficientequipment is already being operatedto capacity, this condition is not yetgenei'al enough to favor runawayprices.Soapb ox(Continued from page 1)talent, I have contended, could standpruning, and he has accomplished itbeautifully in the current specimens.Insight into SpainErnest Erber’s story, Manana:Why Irun Fell, relates, in terms ofa striking personality, of the fall ofIrun.

Leo Shields’ penetratingcriticique of sociology, for instance,while admittedly fine, might wellhave been saved for the backbone ofa future issue. The same applies tothe analysis of the recent election byNathan Gould. Ithiel Poole’s descrip¬tion of the Mexican youth movement,on the other hand, is quite timelyand very readable. Oscar Tarcov’ssatire on Fascist Art is also veryreadable. But the “Peace Conferenceat Buenos Aires” should have beenheld, and to my mind Herb Passin’sreview of Max Schachtman’s TheMoscow Trial was entirely out ofplace, bringing into undue promin¬ence an interradical split of very lit¬tle interest to the average reader towhom the magazine is supposed toappeal.The foi mat of the magazine is im¬proved. Some of the short featuresare lousy. It’s a big issue, well worthanybody’s dime. In fact it’s probablySoapbox’s best issue to date. (Ahcomrades, pi’opaganda!) tremble at the consequences thatthis defeat may have upon our backsettlers;” back country, the undevel¬oped or only partitlly developed dis¬tricts lying to the rear of a peopledarea, used in his letter to Orme in1775, “I herewith send you a smallmap of the back country.”To the second of this famous three,Jefferson, “the sage of Monticello,”falls the honor of having originatedthese expressions: amovability, thepower to remove or dismiss from anoffice, “Let us retain amovabitily onthe concurrence of the executive andlegislative branches;” Anglo-Ameri¬can, a Canadian, because of the con¬tinued adherence of Canada to GreatBritain, about whom he wrote, “Inthe case of war with our neighbors,the Anglo-Americans of the Indians,the route to New York becotnes afrontier through almost its wnolelength;” Anglomania, an excessivefondness for* that which is English,which he used in his writings in1787.These meanings were also intro¬duced by Jefferson: Anglomany,which he used with brusque irony,“If the author of Plain Truth wasnow to be charged with that pamph¬let, this put along side of his pres¬ent anglomany would decide thevoice of the yeomanry of the countryon the subject”, Anglophobia, fearor dread of England; “We are go¬ing on here in the same spirit still.The Anglophobia has seized violent¬ly on three members of our council.”Franklin, the third of these dis¬tinguished Americans, proved hisversatility, in addition to inventingthe lightining rod, by also addingthese phrases to the modern Ameri¬can English: Albany Plan, a planwhich he suggested at the Conven-tif^n in Albany in 1754, for “estab¬lishing one general government overall the colonies based upon the con¬sent of the governed”, which he usedin his writing, “The Powers Proposedby the Albany Plan of Union;” Ang-lify, to anglicize, which he stronglydefends in his works, “Why shouldPennsylvania, founded by the Eng¬lish, become a colony of aliens, whowill shortly be so numerous as toGermanize us instead of our anglify-ing them?” Lah Tsei(Continued from page 1)I reported army maneuvers whichf have destroyed entire towns in re-j taliation against the Chinese for pro¬testing' the “penetration.” The stu¬dent strike of a year ago, she said,was called to protest the establish-men of the Japanese-controlled “au¬tonomous council” of Hopei andChahar provinces.“We have barely begun to strug¬gle,” she stated. “Already we haveachieved tremendous results in organ¬izing the students themselves, andour efforts are reflected in the grad¬ual stiffening of the government’sbackbone against continued aggres¬sion. Our aim is to present a uni¬fied China to the attacks of the Jap¬anese invaders. By ‘invaders’ I meanthe military dictatorship which isforcing the issue. We have no quar¬rel with the Japanese people them¬selves. We sympathize deeply withthem and would like to unite withthem in a common .struggle againstthe Fascism now in control in Japan.But we will not stop until we haveachieved a national liberation.”Offer Grants toAviation EnthusiastsF'our W.

Saturday will mark the open¬ing of Big Ten competition for theChicago team, when they encounter jIndiana, the co-champions. iThe performance of the entire |Midway outfit for the past few iweeks has been encouraging to fans iand coaches alike. Most pleasing toCoach Norgren has been the con¬tinued development of Paul Amund¬sen who played Notre Dame’s All-American center, Paul Nowak, on |even terms. Morris Rossin, juniorgruard, kept up his good defensive iwork by holding three men to a netof one free throw. The return to 'form of John Eggemeyer, sharp¬shooting forward, has been a high- 'light of the last few games and hisplay should be the big factor in theMaroons’ attempt to gain a more im¬pressive record than in the past fewyears.News that Jack Mullins, fiery lit¬tle sophomore forward, would prob¬ably be in uniform was heartening.However it is doubtful if he will seemuch action until next week. In hisplace will be Bob Cassels, anothersophomore who has shown promise.Tonight the Maroons will be outto avenge the 25-21 defeat they suf¬fered at the hands of the Hilltop¬pers last month. The Golden Aval¬anche found the Chicago defense in-penetrable for the first ten minutesof the game, but since that date theMilwaukeans have-' rearranged thelineup in an effort to utilize the scor¬ing power of the veteran forward,Paul Sokody. George Hesik, fromOak Park high school, has beenswitched to center. Two other Illi-I' nois sophomores, Glenn Adams, for¬ward, and Milt Graf, guard, willstart. Captain Bob O’Keefe, starguard, will round out the Marquettefive.Coach Norgren is in hopes thatthe newly found offensive power ofthe Maroons can combine with thealready widely recognized defensein the encounter tonight as it did inthe last half of the Notre Damegame. The quintet missed upsettingthe Irish by just three minutes. Af¬ter trailing the entire time, the Mid¬way outfit forged to the front latein the game, only to be overtakenand beaten 30-27.

The first opponent will |be the University of Indiana, in a ■“postal” match Wednesday. IThe varsity team, composed of |Freeman Morgan, Hugh Bennett, DanMater, and Harry James, recentlywon seventh place in the IllinoisState Rifle Association competition.Morgan’s 560 was the high score ofthe team.Armour Tech was outpointed,932-899 in a “shoulder-to-shoulder” Iprone-kneeling match held duringvacation. Hugh Bennett, with 191 jfrom a possible 200; Freeman Mor-|gan, 190; and George Matousek, 188 iwere the outstanding performers, jFred Klein and Harry James also 'placed among the five highest.A four position match, prone, sit¬ting, kneeling, and standing, was lost jto Blackhawk Park. The clo.seness jof the score, 912-890, was very en-icouraging, as the Blackhawk team isone of the best teams in the state. 1Hugh Bennett, with 183, was again jthe high scorer. Freeman Morgan, jGeorge Matousek, Fred Klein, and |Art Dean completing the team.In an intra-club match, men op-1 posing women, fired the week beforevacation, the men were barely ableto eke out a seven point victory. Fir¬ing all prone, George Matousek washigh man in the tournament with ascore of 199 from a possible 200.Hugh Bennett, Dan Mater, Jack Cor¬nelius, freshman, and Freeman Mor¬gan were the five high men. BettyLou Lindberg, totaling 195, tooknumber one spot on the women’steam, followed by Lois Shelford,Marjorie Ewing, freshman, RachaelI Reese, also freshman, and AlleeneTasker.i Hugh Bennett tops the men’s fourposition ladder tournament, andRachel Reese, freshman, occupies thetop rung of the women’s all proneladder. Harvey Blank is the cham¬pion pistol shooter of the club.The freshmen shooters are led byJack Cornelius, with James Korellis,Bill Elliot, and Jules DuPuis follow¬ing.Two new rifles have been pur¬chased, and are now in use. A newpaint job and a ping pong table makethe range look quite hospitable, thelatter being used while waiting fora rifle. Carl Hendrickson, riflecoach, urges all students interestedin rifle and pistol work, to come outand to try their skill, no previousexperience being necessary. Bickel, BurgessPlaced Ninth inTennis RankingsNorman Bickel and Norbert Bur¬gess, Chicago’s star doubles combina¬tion, who were placed ninth in therecent national tennis rankings, owethis honor to their outstanding ac¬complishments of last year. Theranking is primarily a result of thedefeat which they administered toBryan “Bitsy” Grant and G. W, Hallin the ?{.itional Amateur tournamentlast fall.Bickel, number one man on lastyear’s varsity, also boasts a numberthree ranking in the Chicago area asa singles player. Burgess .numbertwo man on the squad and this year’scaptain, is ranked eighth in the city.They are Chicago’s number onedoubles team, according to the mostrecent rankings.One of their outstanding achieve¬ments of last year was placing sec¬ond in the National Inter-collegiatemeet, the farthest any Big Ten teamhas gone in the last decade. Theyhad previously annexed the confer¬ence doubles crown at the expenseof Northwestern’s George and Rus¬sell Ball. The Chicago Lawn TennisAssociation chose, them as their rep¬resentatives for an Eastern tour lastsummer. Norm Bickel added anotherbit of glory when he emerged as win¬ner of the Cleveland Exposition Ten¬nis Tournament during the summer.Coach Wally Hebert indicated thatthe high national ranking presageda retention of the conference doubleschampionship in the forth-comingcampaign. The singles rankings au¬gur well for a return of the Big Tenteam championship to the Chicagocampus this spring. Release New |Swim Schedule Ij T.
