Butrelaxing on the rules, the Costume-Carnival Ball committee, headed byRobert Bethke, has decided thatstrictly formal attire is welcome atany Ball, and is therefore permis¬sible for the dance to be held Sat¬urday night.This decision was reached whenit was found that costume rentalswere high, and that the demand forcircus regalia might exceed the sup- j dent enters the universityply. The committee stressed the ■fact that prizes’ will be given for ioriginal costumes and not elaborate !ones.

Support the Student Peace Strike!We support the Peace Strike as a non-partisan expression ofstudent sentiment against all forms of war, war preparations, andthe causes of war. We believe that the Strike is an effective meansof demonstrating the attitude of great numbers of students on thequestion of war and peace. At the same time, we recognize vastdifferences of opinion existing among students concernng both thecauses of war and the best methods of maintaining peace. Despitethese ideological differences, however, we believe that all studentscan and should unite, along with all other interested groups in thecommunity, on the common ground of opposition to war itself andparticipation in the Strike against War as one step in a militant peacecampaign.I To more precisely define our position on the many issues in¬volved in the Strike:We oppose the billion dollar war budget, which deprives othergovernmental social and educational projects of necessary finan¬cial resources.We support the Nye-Kvale amendment, which would abolishcompulsory military training in land-grant colleges.We oppose the Shephard-Hill industrial mobilization bill,i which would establish a war-time military dictatorship.We stand ready to champion the defense of civil liberties andacademic freedom, to condemn Fascist and imperialist aggression.We do not support or recognize the validity of the OxfordPledge as one of the ways of combating war.Perhaps because it received its initial backing from the moreradical and liberal sections of the student body, the Strike has car¬ried an unfavorable connotation in the popular mind. Participa¬tion by all types of students will go far to remove this unfortunateassociation, to increase the effectiveness of this weapon against war.Support the Student Peace Strike tomorrow!Law School Freshmen Try ActualCases in Moot Court CompetitionBy HARRY LEVIRequest Applicantsfor Membership inNew LF Councilcle are loyally dedicated to support iof the demonstration as well as tothe Spanish Loyalist cause.

So monu- By 1910 the stock of books hadgrown to such dimensions that thefamiliar Dewey system was foundfar too inadequate. It was decidedto adopt the system used by the Lib¬rary of Congress, which allows forunlimited expansion, and the fore¬most library expert in the countryat that time, J. C. M. Hanson, wascalled in to undertake the gargan¬tuan task of organizing the hetero¬geneous systems in use by the variousdepartment heads.Hanson is gone now, but the job hebegan remains. Library officials arestill working on the unfinished sys-'tematization of the classics, one ofthe last divisions to be put in order. Lawyers not only have to knowthe law, but have to be able to argueit in court as well. So progressivelaw schools are beginning to holdMoot Courts, in which students- getpractice in arguing cases before fac¬ulty members and legal authoritieswho sits as judges.About three years ago at YaleUniversity, Professor Thui’sman Ar¬nold began a Moot Court for allfreshman students. University Pro¬fessor Edward H.

From this record theymust write their own briefs andargue the case. Commented Pro¬fessor Levi when asked about thedifficulty of preparing briefs’ undersuch conditions, “We wanted to sim¬ulate actual conditions.”Each student is given thirty min¬utes in which to argue his case, withan additional ten minutes for rebut¬tal. The case is tried before a courtcomposed of a prominent attorney,judge or a faculty member as chiefju.vtice, and four of his fellow fresh¬men as associates. All may askquestions.Among the Judges who have ac¬cepted invitations to serve on theMoot Court are Justices Matchettand O’Connor of the Illinois Appel¬late Court, Justice Elwin Shaw ofthe Illinois Supreme Court, Will M.Sparks of the Federal Circuit Court,Barnes of the Federal DistrictCourt, Evans of the Federal CircuitCourt of Appeals, and McGoorty ofthe Superior Court of Cook County.Judges to PresideAs but two freshmen ai’gue eachcase, there will be some forty casesin all, and the court, which began sit¬ting Saturday, will be in s'ession forsome time.

The sessions, by the way,are open to the public.And the worried freshmen will beglad to hear that the judges whohave heard the cases already triedall were surprised at the high qual¬ity of the student work.

Thankyou, kind sir,’ when I swat you."Get down on the floor and wipe that smileoff your face; this isn’t funny!And so every year most fraternity chapterstake great pleasure in putting their pledgesthrough hell week. Hell week as generallypracticed, involves mostly waste, especially inthe form of many hours of useless action onthe part of both pledges and actives. Fromthree days to a week is spent in tearing up thehouse and reddening the freshmen’s poster¬iors, in loud screaming and extended loss ofsleep.Hell week serves to put the freshmen intheir place. At the end of this period of havoc,they do not dare to risk insubordinating an ac¬tive member. This suppression gives the up¬perclassmen a feeling of strength and power.This feeling is subsconscious in many of themen, but is present, just the same. Duringhell week, fellows with moderate physicalspirit can become quite fierce, and some foot¬ball men can become veritable demons.Pledges who do not readily bow to thethreats of the upperclassmen have to pay thepenalty. They are subdued by the force ofthe paddle, just as our Neanderthal forbearsused to subdue their opponents with clubs.The fraternity men have fun. They say theywill never forget the great time they had whengoing through hell week, and want to providethe same opportunities for their pledges.Granted that hell week provides some enter¬tainment to the actives and, when lookedback upon, some pleasant memories to thepledges. There are less wasteful processeswhich could effect the rational purposes of hellweek and could at the same time provide theparticipants with more sincere enjoyment andmore fruitful results.The rational purposes of hell week are toabsorb the pledges into the fraternity, to unifythem as a class, and to improve their person¬alities. These purposes could be effected bya hell week in which the labors of the fresh¬men would all be constructive, like washingwindows or cleaning basements, instead of in¬cluding such occupations as pillow-fighting atthree o clock in the morning, and blowingflour into each other’s faces before lunch.Such a program would take some of the ju¬venile fun out of hell week. But some of theless harmful gags of the present program, add-^ ed to the simple joys of living and working to-gather, should fuini a framework on which the freshmen could be unified, familiarized withthe fraternity, and improved in personality.When the pledges do more studying of fra¬ternity and college subjects along with their"scrambling like eggs" and "crossing yourbridges before you come to them,” hell weekmay catch up with the times.Fraternity leaders are realizing more andmore the necessity for academic achievementin order that Greek societies may be worthyof a place on university campuses. Elspecial-ly does this necessity apply on this campus.We are ahead of many schools in this respect,but still have a long way to go. The drainingof animality from hell week and the substitu¬tion of rationality by local houses should beone step toward the development of a tnoresound, more sensible fraternity spirit here.—E. C. F.The Travelling BazaarHUTCHINS AND JACK BENNYThis president of ours certainly has a facility forgetting publicity of all sorts. According to the Sun¬day Times his latest honor is that he has been se¬lected as one-sixth of the “ideal man” by 24 seniorhigh school girls in Mooseheart, Illinois.

How¬ever, the style show was nothing compared withthe handbills w'hich were gotten out at the last min¬ute as publicity for the affair. These showed oneof the famed Petty girls, standing in the complete¬ly, with the legend, “I’ll be wearing Saks FifthAvenue immediate fashions at the Maroon-PhoenixI annual style dance.” The cut was borrowed directfrom Esquire, and in the original showed a WesternUnion boy handing her a bouquet of flowers—oneI by one.Anyway, the handbills had not been out long be¬fore the Dean’s office began receiving irate telephonecalls in protest, while it was reported that B & G’sLyman R. Flook himself was found taking the pos¬ters off several bulletin boards. For sourvenirs?Moreover, the Dean’s office had not been informedwhat was coming, and consequently had not had thetime either to cen.sor or approve the handbill. Thisconstituted a breach of Dean’s office etiquette, butstrangely enough, no one had .seen anyone actuallyhandihg the sheets out.And the Deans appai-ently do not agree with thehandbill’s statement that “10c covers all.” It wouldtake at least a dollar bill.* y «WE POINT WITH PRIDEto the effect The Daily Maroon has had on atleast one fraternity man.

As “Buchsy” was discussing evolution andatheism, the thought was contributed that a childcould be conditioned from childhood to regard so sim¬ple an object as a tree as “God,” and would formhis ideas of heaven from it, etc.One young atheist whispered rather loudly, “Atleast it would be heaven for a dog.”* * *TALL BUT TRUE (?)Chris Sergei reports that a friend of his waswalking along the I.

We ac¬cused them of being bored withthemselves; of lacking real enthusi¬asms; of lacking the courage of theirconvictions; in fact, we almost ac¬cused them of lacking any reason¬ed convictions.Naturally, there was dissension.Much of it was good-willed and rea¬sonable, but some was also personaland resentful. Now while we realizethat this sort of attitude is inevit¬able in any controversy where strongfeelings are involved, we neverthe¬less regret its presence.Therefore, we have sought to findexpression for our point of view ina way that cannot be regarded aspersonal. We have found a partialsolution of our dilemma in a radioaddress made more than a year agoby Philip Cantler, an English stu¬dent at Harvard University. It is en¬titled “American Universities SeenThrough British Eyes’.” We extractas follows:“Contemplation of the collegiatespirit among American studentswould lead the visitor to note thatthey seem to be a year or twoyounger than undergraduates inEngland. They do in fact come upto the university on the average oneyear earlier in this country than isusual on the other side, and the spiritof the Freshman year seems morelike that of the sixth form in anEnglish secondary school than thefii’st year at an English university.There seems to be that sort of spoon¬feeding, task-setting pedagogy whichbelongs to school and not to univer¬sity. And it may strike the visitorthat the influence of the Freshmanyear program extends into laterstages of the university course, forthere too he notes a degree of direc¬tion and specification in reading andessay writing which seems unfa¬miliar, and an insistence on learningfacts, almost to the exclusion ofspending time with original ideas.And he may ask himself whether theheavy reading programs of Americanundergraduates are altogether com¬patible with liberal education, as dis¬tinct from technical instruction. Per¬haps the American undergraduate iskept so busily occupied learningwhat other people think that he hasno time to sit down and find outwhat he thinks him.self, and so con¬stantly employed in his formal cour.sework that he fails to realize in hisundergraduate days the unrepeatableopportunity for long thoughts andlarge ideas.o * *“For the English visitor might berather struck by the .scarcity of longthoughts and large ideas among theundergraduates. With English stu¬dents you can always hope to findan argument in progress, or to startone without very much difficulty.Arguments about something or noth¬ing, about sports prospects or aboutthe fate of nations. In their Unions—large clubs which are the center ofstudent activity—they will have longdebates before a large and intenselyvocal audience in which they will re¬solve to fight, or not to fight, fortheir king and country; demand, orrefuse to demand, the resignation ofthe existing government; decide toabolish, or to retain the OfficersTraining Corps; deplore, or refuseto deplore, the achievement of oneChristopher Columbus, and in thespace of two or three hours settle thepolitical, religious and economicproblems of the universe. Under¬graduates here seem to be rather re¬served in putting forward their ownideas, somewhat afraid of the wildnotion, and deferential to the pro¬nouncements of Authority. They ap¬proach the wide problems with a de¬gree of seriousness and sanity whichinhibits them from getting excited inthe exposition of their views. Thismay not be true for the minority, butmost of the debating done in under-grraduate circles here seems to be ofa very formal type, and is very po¬litely conducted. There seems to bethe same sort of inhibition in the pri¬vate conversations of undergradu¬ates—a restraint which almost seemsapathy in the face of some of thereal problems of this world of ours,and a certain timidity towards thelarge idea. Perhap&r this is over stat¬ing the position; but the English vis¬itor is not likely to find amongAmerican undergraduates that readydiscussion of cabbages and kingswhich he treasures from his own un¬dergraduate days. And perhaps allthis is symbolic of the same phe¬nomenon—the relative youth of theAmerican undergraduate.

Since theday when Red started tooting on alittle tin trumpet, his contributionsto the world of swing have beenmany and important.Organizing “Red Nichols and hisFive Pennies,” the group included atone time or another such notables asBenny Goodman, Jimmy Dorsey,Miff Mole, Vic Burton, Joe Venuti,Joe Sullivan. Nichols made record¬ing history, and today the recordsare in most collectors cases.One of the foremost musical re¬view conductors, Red Nichols is asversatile as he is an outstanding in¬strumentalist. Six Gershwin produc¬tions are to his credit, and it hasbeen said that the famous Georgewould not allow a show to “go on”without Red in the pit. Among theNichols triumphs is included the re¬nowned “Girl Crazy,” which startedEthel Merman, one of the country’sbest-known husky-blues singers andcomediennes, on the road to success.Incidentally, Miss Merman hasbeen chosen a.s one of the judges inthe Intercollegiate Dance Contest atthe College Inn. The contest is opento all students in the metropolitanarea. Starting Friday, and runningfor four consecutive Fridays there¬after, the contest will offer $300 incash prizes as well as four silverloving cups. The other judges will jbe Jimmy Durante, Bob Hope, theHartmans, and Muriel Kretlow. .* * * INichols has been one of the con- iscientious objectors to the current Iwave of publicity which the Oriental 'Dixieland Band has received. Espe-!cially irked at the “plug” given to ’the band in the “March of Time,”Red has gone on record as saying thefollowing about the history of swing: jHe compares Nick LaRocca and theDixieland Band to an acorn—swing |today as the oak, (pine or maple) from which the little nest egg hasgrown—in other words he claimsthat swing today is the same onlyin spirit as that rendered by thesouthern boys, that modern improvi¬sation, harmony and instrumentationhave made what we know today asswing.o * *Three circuses are in town! ColeBros., Hagenbeck Wallace, and“Idiots’ Delight,” act 2, scenes* 2 and3. We saw the Lunts in RobertSherwood’s current hit now playingat the Erlanger Theater to recordcrowds and we were a little disap¬pointed at the first intermission butthereafter the vehicle gained terrificmomentum, sped through two hilari¬ous scenes and an exciting and noisylast act.As per the usual spirit of the play¬wright, he introduces type charac¬ters in settings where one wouldmost likely not find them. The sceneof this play is laid in a St. Moritzianresort among the Italian alps dur¬ing a current (1937) European en¬tanglement between the rival pow¬ers. The characters are all huddledtogether waiting to get across someborder. The first act huddlers donot feature Lunt and Fontaine anduntil they appear the only nearlyoutstanding feature is a speech by ayoung Marxian. But soon the funbegins: Alfred is a leader of sixAmerican chorus girls, Lynn is aRussian princess whom Alfred recog¬nizes as a former hotel suite mateand parachute jumper from Omaha-ha-ha (Fontaine dialect). And withthis’as the core, Sherwood builds uphis theme dialogue, and plot. Theacting is excellent and the lovelyFontaine draped in a fanta.stic blondeheaddress and Lunt garbed in ashiny, monochromatic-striped bluesuit create an atmosphere of easeand nonchalanche that can’t be dup¬licated by any other pair on the stagetoday. This couple seem to relishin the fact that they can get theirlines over the footlights while facingthe rear—they follow this procedureregularly and the audience loves it!The biggest punch we got from theproduction was watching Mr. Luntin his role of chorine master puttingon his floor show with Les Blondesala Jack Oakie, Fred Astaire andA1 Jolson—we can’t decide which.HOWARD WICHMAN, for¬merly of the Daily Maroon staffand member of Beta Theta Pidied Monday night, followingan operation for cancer of thestomach performed by Dr.Phemister a few days before.His body is being taken tohis home in New Jersey forburial.Wichman was eighteen yearsold.

APRIL 21, 1937 Page Tlu«Lettersto the EditorWHOSE FALLACY?Editor,The Daily Maroon:Let me make myself clear. Thisis not the point of view of a groupthat I shall express. It is as a high¬ly astounded fellow student of Mr.McNeill's that I shall speak.This University of which he and Iare both members, makes some ef¬fort to present diverse opinions andattitudes to its students. And yet,Mr. McNeill so views his subjectthrough the prism of personal con¬fusion and bias as to reflect it athousand times over as ignorance.He has done that quite well in hisremarkable fallacy, Friday’s edi¬torial, Fallacy of Marxism. I wagerthat an average freshman who hashad the introductory Social ScienceSurvey would be incapable of Mr.McNeill’s weaving of muggy irrelev-ancies and bogging distortions—or ishe a freshman?Consider his introductory para-raph. “The trouble with Marxism asa theory is that it assumes that manis a rational animal whereas he is airregarious animal which thinks—sometimes.’’ This misshapen pro¬fundity in the disguise of inanity isnot even slightly askew the point. Itis completely irrelevant and blandlyignores one of the central theses ofthe Marxian position. Man’s indi-Tidual de.stiny is not his own, nor ishis rationality. He receives the psy¬chological imprint of the dominantsocio-economic g^roup; his rationalityis the product. But the inadequacyof a prevailing order to continuefeeding its helots, helots of brain aswell as of brawn, to cramp produc¬tive forces into its own narrow niche,in the long run leads to dissatisfartion and consciousness of new hori¬zons by the helots. The latter gothrough a process of ferment andcrystallization of aims. Man in themass attempts to grasp collectivelywhat he has lost individually. It isnot, then, man’s innate rationalitywhich operates but “driving causesof history’’ which act as “levers” andtransform themselves into motives ofaction via clashing classes of men.The stress here is precisely on manas a “gregarious animal.” His ration¬ality is subordinated by t^je Marx¬ians, to conditioning by the classvalues dominant at a particular his¬torical stage. But man’s rationality,prodded by inescapable conditions ofconflict between classes, burststhrough the chrysalis of social condi¬tioning into participation with itsclass against the oppressor. (Tliefew phra.ses quoted are from Fred¬erick Engel’s Feuerbach. I beg Mr.McNeill to recall Engels as the out¬standing collaborator and friend ofKarl Marx.) So Mr, McNeill can ob¬tain a thorough understanding ofthis point if he will reread The Com¬munist Manifesto, required readingfor Social Science I.Following this, our editorialist in¬dulges in the fancy that he is “des¬cending from epigram to argument”when he says “the Marxian takes asthe basic and fundamental motive foraction the desire for the enjoyment of as much as possible of materialgoods.” “This,” he continues, “isgross over-simplification.” I’ll say itis. And McNeill can check the fol¬lowing by referring to John Strach-cy’s Coming Struggle for Power onreserve in Cobb Library.In a society where distribution ofmaterial satisfactions is so lousy asto permit people to starve or fear itshappening, a redistribution, say theMarxians, is essential. People thenemerge from the paralysis of pov¬erty or fear of its coming. The un¬leashing of productive forces held incheck by the preceding social ordergives people leisure time to think, tocultivate the fine arts, to raise them¬selves above the level of mere drayhorses. The group opposing this es¬sential redistribution of wealth is, ofcourse, the dominant economic hier¬archy. Its will, ideals, and ensuingbehavior are reflections of an agon¬izing effort to protect its propertyrights and status. It strains everysinew of its military and power ap¬paratus to thwart the stirrings anddemands of the proletariat, whitecollar and otherwise. Simplified to agreat degree, this constitutes theMarxian insistence on the importanceof the material in the lives of thehumans.After a labyrinth of rather unhap¬py illogic, which you can read foryourselves, Mr. McNeill arrives athis ace in the hole—whereas, in viewof the rest of his hand, one was cer¬tain he held only a trey. “How arethere then any Marxians at all?”Yes, something of a problem. But,simply resolved by Mr. W. H. M.,Marxians are maladjusted people whosee rosy futures for themselves inengineering,revolution. ‘'Revolution,”he persists, “can only come aboutwhen a fairly large minority becomes"unadjustable and joins the religion.”How large is that “fairly large min¬ority,” Mr. W.H.M.? It must be fair¬ly large when it involves the move¬ment of vast conflicting sections of apopulace as it did in late FeudalEurope between feudal lords anda rising commercial middle class, offamine yoked peasants and an upperstate as it did in the French and Rus¬sian Revolutions, as it is today doingin Spain. Revolution* are not con¬cocted by individuals, maladjusted orotherwise. They are mass phenomenaevoked by social and economic can¬cer. Mr. McNeill should take sometime off to examine history and itsonsweep in te'rms of the impact ofclass on class.In concluding, I can only repeatthat W. H. M.’s waywardness as tofact is unjustifiable. He has failedtc acquaint himself or recall materialvitally pertinent to his subject. He,somewhere in his editorial speaks ofpersons as “bundles of habits” wherethinking is concerned. I merely begof him that wherever he got his par¬ticular “bundle,” he drop it as haste-ly as possible—that is if he desiresconsideration as a university studentor mature contributor to criticalevaluation.Sid Merlin.(/ confess loose statement of the \Marxian jMsition as to the fitnda- jmental motivation of man, btit my \argument still stands. Briefly it isthat the Marxian concept of classstruggle is applicable only to a smallportion of our society, and the habit- boundness of • both sides keepsthe conflict of interests subterran¬ean. Secondly I criticised Marxismas looking toward an impossible con¬summation, the classless society rnwhich everyone would be perfectlyhappy, and good Marxians will beespecially blessed.—W. H. M.)DEAR ELROY:Editor,The Daily Maroon:Regarding Mr. Golding’s discus¬sion of peace and the peace strikewhich appeared in yesterday’s DailyMaroon:(1) Mr. Golding apparently hasthe courage of his convictions, ifsuch can be judged from a willing¬ness to write Letters to the Editor.(2) Mr. Golding suggests nothingfurther than discussion as an imme¬diate solution to the war problem, jAs far as we know, mere discussionshas never stopped a war. He im¬plicitly recognizes the value of “newconcepts of international law andmachinery for its enforcement” asan ultimate solution of the warproblem. Yet we cannot imaginethat he naively assumes that theseconcepts and machinery will be putinto practice through discussionalone.(3) Who is the more firm in hisconviction against war: the personwho carries a banner through a quar¬ter-mile of parading, or the personwho says he is “for peace,” but re¬fuses to make any visible demonstra¬tion of that feeling?(4) At the All-Campus Peace Con¬ference, which supposedly represent¬ed the sort of intellectual discussionwhich Mr. Golding advocates, Mr.Golding and his colleagues had am¬ple opportunity to present theirpoint(s) of view. Yet the Confer¬ence voted unanimous support of theStrike.John Morris.(Dear John: To act we must haveknowledge. We ewe not agreed onmeans to attain peace. Therefore wedo not haire knowledge of means toattain peace. Therefore we cannotact.—Q. E. D.—E. D. G.) part of all who outlaw war, any war.These factional interests have keptmany students from participating inand supporting the strike.We feel that national unity is es¬sential if the strike is to be an ef¬fective instrument for peace. If it isto be used as a means of furtheringthe doctrines of the various politi¬cal groups on the campus, it doesnot serve its purpose.However, because we believe inpeace and that it can be achievedonly through cooperation, we con¬tinue to support this Peace Strikewhich is one way students are tryingto say in a united voice ,“We wantpeace, and we want to do somethingabout it.”First Cabinet,The YWCA.

We wereunder the impression that it was tobe a student strike against war. Forthis reason, we supported it, believ¬ing that unity and cooperation inconcerted campus action for peaceare essential and convinced thatthese principles are worth backing.We regret, however, that as theplans for the strike developed theseprinciples were sacrificed in thename of group and factional inter¬ests. Material support of the Span¬ish loyalists, the fast”lo fight theFascists, and the support of classwar, however just, will lead inevit¬ably to further militaristic activitiesand for this reason have no place ina strike against war.We regret that the personal inter¬ests and points of view of variouscampus organizations cannot be sub¬merged at a time like this to allowfor whole-hearted cooperation on the STINEWAY’SforSUPER-SPEED SERVICE onTELEPHONE ORDERSNickle refunded on each Order.Call us for that late snack.

Either Harvey Law-son or Paul Amundsen will get thecall to the mound on Roycemore field.Since the Iowa game Saturday, An¬derson has been coaching the boys onthe finer points of hitting, stealing,base-running, and bunting. Theteam’s hitting, which for a w’hile tooka nose dive, has improved until nowpracticaly every man is a hitter.Frenchy White StarsFrenchy White, the short stop, hasplayed briliantly all season and isexpected to come through with an¬other big game to add to his record.Schuessler, who cavorts on second,has added additional punch to hishitting and should raise his battingaverage today.One of the outstanding men onthe nine is big Bill Gillerlain, who,though playing his first year ofvarsity ball as a s'enior, has takento the game like a veteran and hasshown himself a star in all thegames played. Remy Meyers onthird is putting a lot of snap intohis playing and has developed intoa real hitter.Behind the bat Captain Bob Ship¬way will be again calling for thepitches. At the beginning of theseason Bob had a little trouble get¬ting the ball down to second butnow has overcome this difficulty andis doing some real ball catching.If Amundsen does the hurling.Lefty Lawson who has a great armand a keen batting eye will go outto right field. With him in the fieldwill be Bernard at center and Son-derlind, two big guns from lastyear’s team who can be counted onin the pinches.

Only six runs crossed theplate, in contrast to the 20, 30, 40and more runs that have been cus¬tomary so far. The Alpha Delts ac¬counted for five of the markers' andthe Chi Psi ‘A’ team only one, de¬spite the fact that the latter made13 hits. Eckersall of the AlphaDelts and Wilson of the Chi Psisboth made three singles in threetrips to the plate. The former teamused 16 men.Pi Lambda Phi could only findeight of their players when theirgame with Phi Gamma Delta wass'cheduled to start. A ninth manshowed up for the last two innings,but this still left them short sincethe teams are ten-men. The newman was the inspiration for a five-run rally which tied the score. Notto be outdone, the Phi Gams cameback in their half of the inning andalso chalked up five runs. The finalscore was 15-12 for the latter, al¬though the Pi Lams outhit them21 to 19. Every man in the game' made at least one hit and Abelson' and Grossman of the Pi Lamsj slapped out four apiece.In the third game of the after¬noon the Dekes defeated ZBT, 18-4.The Dekes made a total of 27 hits,of which Phemister and Mahoneywere credited with four each. Intramural badminton has attract¬ed considerably more interest thisyear than last. A total of 45 menhave signed up for the tournamentwhich starts this week according toLester Cook, student manager of thesport. Twenty-nine meri competed inlast year’s meet which was the firstheld on campus. If a good part ofthose who signed up actually play,badminton will probably be continued!in future years.I Most of the players don’t know aj badminton racket from an egg-beaterI and can’t figure-out why they don’tj knock the feathers off the bird whenI they hit it.

Itfound that 95 percent of all stu¬dents who participated in inter-col¬legiate athletics there came from anarea within a radius of 250 milesof Minnapolis, and that 86.4 percentcame from Minnesota.The report goes on to say thatonly one member of the 1936 Na¬tional Championship football squadcame from outside the “Gopher Cir¬cle.” He was' Horace Bell, negroguard from Akron, Ohio, who “mat¬riculated to Minnesota on the adviceof an older brother, who wantedhim to play football under Dr.George Hauser, Gopher line coach.”Out of the squad of 56, there were19 athletes from Minneapolis, 8from Saint Paul, 21 from other dis¬tricts of the state, and eight “furrin-ers.”Anyway, the report gives otherschools a good slant on where to dotheir proselyting if home-growns-tock runs low. Who kno^s, Min¬nesota’s publicity may be under¬mining its own strength. On theother hand, there ought to be goodtourist trade in that section of thecountry next summer.
