Until a shorttime ago the physical chemist couldnot consider biological situationswithout abandoning himself to prob¬lems not at all intimately connectedwith his line of work. But with theever increasing development of bio¬logical sciences as a whole, and ofcell physiology in particular, the ma¬turity which physical chemistry hasawaited has been reached. That it isbeing put to advantage is shown bythe research proceeding today allover the world and exemplified in thework being carried out in the labora¬tories of this University under the di¬rection of Professor Thorfin R. Hog-ness.Physical ChemistryIt has been suggested that thescience of physical chemistry mayarbitrarily be divided ' into threefields: studies of the velocities ofchemical reactions, the equilibriawhich they involve, and the structuralaspects of atoms and molecules. Thethird of these has been applied tosome extent in a few biological prob¬lems; it is the other two which Dr.Hogneta has been using to attack thefundamental unit of the living mat¬ter, the cell.Respiration, the reaction, conver¬sion of food into heat and work, andthe study of its diemieals is greatlycomplicated by the extreme dfiBcnltyof analysis, for, in order to trace thedevelopment of a process, the chem¬ist must analyze the system aftervarious intervals of time. It is a tre¬mendously difficult and tedious taskto isolate, for example, certain pro¬teins and enzsrmes from mixturescontaining a hundred of them. For¬tunately, however, enzymes absorblight, and each has a characteristicalMorption spectrum. So, armed witha spectrograph, the physical chemistmay follow the course of a reactionwith high accuracy.

Ac¬cording to contemporary female opin¬ion the Screen’s Greatest Lover wasprobably a wow in his time, but todaywouldn’t get far against Tone, Tay¬lor, or Gable.While older women reminisced, un¬dergraduates only buzzed with curi¬osity over the .showing of “The FourHorsemen of the Apocalypse” at Ori¬ental Institute theatre, .SSth and Uni¬versity, at 8:.30 and 8:30 today.Undergraduate women yesterdayrefused to get starry-eyed when Val¬entino’s name was mentioned.“Do you mean the movie star?”said Libby Schiele. “I guess he wasa big shiek, but he was too much ahe-man. They are smoother at ittoday.”Marie Ullman, freshman fromBeresford, South Dakota, said shehad never seen the man, but wouldn’tmind seeing him to satisfy her curi¬osity. Maxine Murphy, freshmanfrom Gilbaut, Minnesota, is going “tosee if all they said about him is true.”Compton to AddressJSF Meeting TodayOpposed to the ultimatum, "Re¬ligion versus Science”, Dr. AftBtrtfHolly (Compton, professor of Physicsand Nobel prize winner, will bridgethe gap between these two institu¬tions when he lectures at the JewishStudent Foundation meeting today at4 in Ida Noyes theatre. The subjectwill be “Religion and Science.”Known for his discovery of theCompton effect in 1927 and for whichhe received the Nobel prize. ProfessorCompton’s distinctions are legion. Inthe same year he was awarded theRumford Gold Medal by the Ameri¬can Academy of Arts and Sciences,and in 1928 another medal from theRadiological Society of North Amer¬ica. The Liberal Party of the PoliticalUnion of the University of Chicagobelieves that the achievement of so¬cial, political, and economic reformsnecessary to the ultimate happinessof society can best be effectedthrough the democratic structure ofthe United States government.Holding that there are many abus¬es resulting from the operation ofthe economic system as it exists to¬day, we believe in stringent govern¬ment regulation of business. We be¬lieve in government ownership ofpublic utilities.We hold that the United Statesshould take an active part in inter¬national action for the establishmentand preservation of world peace, butare against using the forces of thestate to protect the foreig^n invest¬ments of individuals.• * •Because our program of reformnecessitaties an efiScient and intelli¬gent government, we advocate anextension and improvement of thecivil service, both national and local,and a complete separation of the ad¬ministrative from the legislativefunctions of government.To remove the decisions of thejudiciary from the infiuence of theelectorate, we advocate the abolitionof the election of judges and the sub¬stitution of appointment on the basisof merit as demonstrated throughadequate tests. ^Weiiflieve in the complete respeetof civil liberties. It is the right ofevery individual to speak as he wish¬es on any question, even if his opin¬ions are considered subversive tothe established order. On the otherhand, we hold revolution not to be amethod of reform and that it’s wrongfor any group to attempt throughforce to seize control of the govern¬ment from elected officials.* * *We believe that it is the duty ofgovernment to guarantee the collec¬tive security of its citizens. We ad¬vocate government subsidization ofsuch projects as low cost housing,(Continued on Page 3) Magazine Features Surveyof University AthleticSituation.Featuring a survey of the Univer¬sity athletic situation, and includingletters from students who are fightingin Loyalist Spain, Pulse, the officialcampus magazine, will make its sec¬ond appearance on campus news¬stands today.Listed in the table of contents arealso an article by James H. Wellard,director of activities at InternationalHouse, entitled “Let’s Have Donewith Time Style,” and an AtlanticMonthly prize winning essay by BetteHarwich.The section dealing with campusnews and controyersial problems cur¬rent on the Midway has been contin¬ued. The layout and coyer of Pulse,however, have undergone a change,the frontispiece this issue being ma¬roon instead of green.In anticipation of another largestudent demand for the magazine,the editors have ordered 8,000 copiesto be printed. More than 3,200 cop¬ies of the opening issue were soldsoon after they were offered for sale.Quincy Wright LeadsDebate Union ForumsPresented by the University De¬bate Union, Quincy Wright, profes¬sor of International Law will lead anopen fofum ffisrailslon tomorrow onAmerica’s position in the present in¬ternational crisis. The discussion willbe held in Ida Noyes at 7:30 and willopen with a short speech by Profes¬sor Wright, followed by informal de¬bate, in which everyone present mayparticipate.Next Wednesday’s program willopen the season for the Debate Unionand will be followed soon by severalinformal debates with local colleges.The first important engagement is athree way debate, November 18, withthe University of Michigan at AnnArbor and by radio with the Univer¬sity of Iowa on unicameral legisla¬tion. With Jerome G. Kerwin, associateprofessor of Political Science, astheir election adviser, the party or¬ganizers of the Political Union willmeet in the Daily Maroon office at2:30 tomorrow to decide on the nextsteps in the organization of theUnion.Advises Hare SystemProfessor Kerwin has advised theuse of the Hare system with modifi¬cations. In the Hare system the voteris allowed to put down several choices.A certain percentage of the votes castmust be realized by each candidateand second and third choice votes areused until every office is filled. Thesystem will be modified to assure rep¬resentation of such minority gp*oupsand individuals as the independentRadicals. If the first 16 Radicalseats are filled by candidates affiliatedwith the major Radical organizations,the last four seats will be limited toindependent Radicals.A student may vote only in the par¬ty of his choice, and a quota is al¬lowed each party in the election.Draw Up ConstitutionThe constitution of the PoliticalUnion will also be drawn up in themeeting of the organizing committee,and it will be decided whether newmembers shall be elected annually inFebruary rather than in the spring.Nominations for election candidatesopened yesterday, and those interest¬ed in gaining a seat in the PoliticalUnion may file their petitions withtheir respective party organizers be¬fore the deadline. November 10. PartyplktfomM ape defined in today’s Ma¬roon.Party conventions will follow theselection of nominees and a campus¬wide election wi’! take place aboutNovember 22. There will be a publictabulation of votes, thus familiarizingthe campus with the progressive, el¬ection-reforming Hare system.Mr. Kerwin stated that he consid¬ers the Political Union an excellentidea, and exhorts members of everyparty to build up such a high interestin the discussion of issues by meansof party organizing meetings, conven¬tions, and campaigns, that when theUnion gets under way, every factionwill be well prepared to hold its ownin heated debate.Sharp Gives Talk Today on Results ofInquiry Into Memorial Day MassacreRegistration forDecemberDegreesCloses November 1Registrar E.

The story of the infamous Memor¬ial Day riot will be retold today whenProfessor Malcolm P. Sharp presentsthe second lecture of the current BarAssociation series at 3:30 in thesouth room of the Law' School. Aschairman of the Citizen’s Committeeof Inquiry he is regarded by manyas an authority on the bloody affair.Memorial Day ShootingEntitled “The Memorial Day Shoot¬ing—Policing the Steel Strike,” thelecture is offered to the campus thisweek instead of the Barnet Hodes’talk on “Law and the Modern City,”which will be given on Friday, Nov¬ember 12. The lecture is free to BarAssociation members, while an ad¬mission price of 25 cents will be de¬manded of non-members.The committee of inquiry, whichalso numbered Economics ProfessorPaul H. Douglas on its membershiplist, presented its report to the publiclast month. It was compiled afterpainstaking research from all themany sources obtainable.LaFolIette HearingProfessor Sharp was present at theLaFolIette hearing in Washingtonwhen the facts in the alleged massa¬cre were reviewed. He, and the com¬mittee, studied the report of thatand other hearings, studied the cor¬oner’s findings, and received a reporton the interpretation of the laws ofIllinois with respect to the shootingsfrom five attorneys of the IllinoisLawyers Guild. I-F Council PostponesMeeting to WednesdayBecause the I-F committee is bus¬ily engaged in making the final ar¬rangements for the InterfraternityBall, the I-F council will not meettonight in the Reynolds Club asscheduled.According to Herbert Larson ofthe I-F committee: “We can’t sayanything yet, but we expect to beable to give out the full details in aday or two. The party will be closedto all except fraternity men, whichis the custom, and the costs will bepro-rated among the houses in pro¬portion to their membership. Thecost per man will not be more than$2.75 and will probably run muchunder that.”I~H Members HoldGlobe Trotter SalonInternational House camera fanswill hold the first show-ing of moviestaken by members of the House onrecent trips tomorrow at 8. Dr. Isa¬mu Tashiro will show his coloredmovies which he took in Japan duringthe summer.“The Globe Trotter Salon” as theevening’s ' entertainment will be offi¬cially called, will also feature themovies of Richard Flood, a Common¬wealth Fellowship student from Eng-I land who has a movie of westernI United States and Canada.

Everyone will have an oppor¬tunity sometime during the tea tosign up for Mirror work with theappropriate committee heads.This year, according to Aileen Wil¬son, Mirror head, newcomers to Mir¬ror who lack experience will have to* work on at least one Dramatic Asso¬ciation production.Johnson AnnoucesBar Election ResultsRussell Johnson, president of theLaw School’s Bar Association, yes¬terday announced the results of theelection for council members.In the senior division, John Lynch,Sheldon Klein and Stanford Millerwere selected. In the junior class,John Clark, Charles Dunbar, andPaul Barnes were chosen. From theranks of the freshman class underthe new plan, Jerome Katzin, DavidScheffer, and Jerome Simons wereelected.In the election of freshmen underthe old plan, however, trouble ap¬peared in the form of a tie betweenJoe Andalman, Joe Mastrofsky. andFrank Seiter.

Reform of Blackfriars.Political Union—' The three parties of the Political Union area reality now. Formulation of platforms tomake definite the differences between the par¬ties on political ends and means has been suc¬cessful, in spite of the dire predictions of thosewho said no common ground could be found be¬tween those who call themselves radicals, orliberals or conservatives.The forum which the Union will offer thecampus is much needed. Nowhere is there nowa chance for radicals to rub elbows with con¬servatives, and more important, exchangewords with them. Such contact erases the pic¬ture which the two political extremes have ofeach other, so becomes a powerful force to pre¬serve order and peace in society. Close contactwith even the most rabid conservative or themost dogma-bound radical drains oceans of mis¬understanding and hard feeling.All agree that such a function is a valuableone. Criticism of the Union has chiefly beenleveled at the arbitrary proportionment of seatsbetween the parties. The Organizing commit¬tee rejected proportional representation simplyto make it possible for the Union to fill its roleas a general forum.Proportional representation is impracticalon a campus where one wing of political opin¬ion is so much more organized than the other.If it were attempted, all the radicals wouldvote, all the conservatives would be scaredaway from the new “red” organization, and thepurpose of the Union would be frustrated.The system of arbitrary balance betweenradicals and conservatives with a weighting ofliberal opinion will avpid this. The Union doesnot pretend to be a representative body. Itspurpose is exchange of opinion and the educa¬tion of campus opinion on political issues whichthe debates will effect.Within the three party organization, frag¬mentation will be permitted, indeed expected.Once the delegates are seated, blocs will beformed, bloc leaders arise. In the approachingelections factions will develop, attempt to place• as many representatives of their sub-creed aspossible in the Union. The three-party frame¬work is merely designed to set the equilibriumbetween radicals and conservatives.Vol. 38 No. 16FOUNDED IN 1901Member Associated Collegiate PressThe Daily Maroon is the official student newspaper of the Uni-yersity of Chicago, published mornings except Saturday, Sunday,and Monday during the Autumn.

Campus Science-(Continued from Page 1)By CODY PFANSTIEHLIt took a furor, a length of iron pipe, and an armyto bring him back, but the boys did find Zipper, whowas lost.A1 Pfanstiehl took him for a walk last week andwhen he whistled for the dog down around 53rd street,the dog was lost, and didn’t come heme that night., So Phil Johnson, who dearly loves Zipper, createda mild furor in the city’s civil services. He notified thedog pounds, upbraided a desk sergeant for negligence,called three WPA projects, telephoned the Coast Guard,told the milkmen and mail carriers and put ads in thepapers.Sunday afternoon a woman called. She had read thead in the Tribune, her neighbor had just acquired abrown and white dog, and two and two made four.Except that the neighbor didn’t want to give it back.So six fraternity men piled into Rhoda Weekly’scar with hats pulled low and jaws thrust out andwent down to 84th street.General Wilson deployed his men; two at the backdoor, two at the side. Mild mannered John Thompson,stood about with a ten pound socket wrench noncha¬lantly under his arm. Wilson and the reserves stormedthe front.A middle aged family man, vest open, Sunday paperin hand, opened the door and blinked.“Have you gat a brown and white dog?’’ challengedPhil.Mamma and son trotted into the room before papacould answer. “Why,” said mama, “there’s some boysat the back door askin’ the same .thing!’’So papa said, well, Joe had taken him down to thesaloon at 82nd because papa couldn’t keep him.Willing to suspect anything, Wilson moved one setof guards across the street, in view of the front door,and took the rest of his men saloonward. ^The bartender was impressed by Phil’s slightly ex¬aggerated tale of a police warrant for the dog. “Ijust give him to a tramp to walk him”, he hastily ex¬plained.And there was the tramp a block away, leadingZipper with a dirty clothesline. Zipper barked a happywelcome as the William Tell overture reached a cres-cendoAand the squad bore down. The tramp sensed thesituation, babbled “I don’t know nothin’ about it”, andretreated post haste sans dog.Zipper is back now, washed and wiser. So are theboys.IN THE MAILThe Psi Us stuffed owls and the Chi Psi plaquehaven’t been returned for a year now . . .

Even the simp¬lest reactions of this type appear toinvolve at least nine different enzy¬mes. The mechanism seems to indi¬cate that one enzyme molecule cap¬tures two hydrogen atoms and passesthem down a reg:ular chain of mole¬cules. Similarly an oxygen atom issent along, usually not as such butin the form of an oxidized atom suchas ferric iron. Somewhere the two“bucket brigades” meet and water isformed. Analysis is made by theshifting in the absorption spectralbands of conjugated double bond sys¬tems of the enzyme, this shiftingbeing produced by the addition of thetwo hydrogen atoms.Final conclusions on the mechan¬ism, however, have not as yet beenproduced, and the observations on thekinetics are still in their early stages.Dr. Hogness has also done work onthe oxygen-hemoglobin reaction, thatis, on the equilibrium of oxygen andhemoglobliu with oxyhemoglobin.He has shown a new function of cer¬tain salts in the muscle; by absorp¬tion spectra methods it was foundthat the affinity of hemoglobin foroxygen in the presence of these saltsis greatly reduced. An explanation ofhow oxygen is furnished during mus¬cular activity is thus provided. ;Hogness’ Enzymes ^Some of the enzymes with whichDr. Hogness is working are indo-phenol oxidase succinic dehydrogen¬ase cytochromes A, B, and C, andxanthine ovidase. The latter, which ispresent both in milk and in certaintissues, has been found to functionboth as an oxidant for xanthine andj as a catalyst in the dismutationj (Cannizarro reaction) of a number ofaldehydes. (This secopd is the reac¬tion whereby two molecules of analdehyde oxidize and reduce eachother and are converted to acid andalcohol.)The whole field, however, is yetvery young; indeed, it may be saidto be in its infancy. But for the de¬velopment of the physical chemistryof the cell wait some of the mostimportant problems in biology, prob¬lems such as the explanations offetal growth, and of cancer.PLEDGINGKappa Sigma announces the pledg¬ing of Alvin E. Johnson of New Or¬leans, Louisiana, and William B.Dunn of Wichita Falls, Texas.Phi Beta Delta announces thepledging of Mathew Newelt of Gary.Phi Signia Delta announces thepledging of Erwin Zatz of Chicago.This is the real low-down on one of the strangest“affaires de coeur” that has yet been uncovered at theUniversity.Have you seen the fellow who struts up and downthe field at the football games, beating “Big Bertha,”the bass drum that’s the pride of the University band?He’s T. R. Snett, known to his long suffering drum-tenders as “Snitz,” whose unnecessary cruelty to hissubordinates can be explained only by the fact that fiveyears ago he himself began his career as a drum tend¬er. But he proved himself a real drummer, and nowis entering upon his fourth year of service with Bertha.The big drum is his pride and the only thing in theband for which he holds the least affection. Should anyof the unfortunate tenders that he rules with an ironhand climb her sturdy frame during rehearsal in thefieldhouse, or play touch football with the soft cottonbeaters, Snett’s resultant outburst includes languageentirely unfit for undergraduate ears. But, at times, atrare times, when Bertha’s part in a formation pleaseshim, or when Bachman, the band director, announces along trip for the band—and Bertha—Snett becomesalmost humanly genial.When asked how he developed his flashy and im¬pressive marching style, he declined to comment. Healso refused to answer a question relative to what theinitial T. in his name stood for. But we did worm theinformation from him that Bertha has had a lastinginfluence on his life, and that his chief recreation andexercise (and it really is exercise, trying to hold thosebig vibrating skins down to a gentle murmur whenthey’re supposed to murmur) is taking care of her dur¬ing the band’s between-half routine at the games.

Gener¬ally, however, we are against mono¬poly in labor or in capital, but de¬mand that workers be allowed to or¬ganize and bargain collectively forthe protection of their own interests.The Radical Party stands for therevolutionary transformation of so¬ciety to socialism by the power ofthe working class; and for convinc¬ing the student body that their in¬terests lie with this program.The completion of this platform in¬volves three general alternatives,with independent positions lying be¬tween these general alternatives. TheCommunist group believes that thisgeneral statement can only have realmeaning when it shows us what to dotoday. The Communists have alwaysbelieved that Socialism can only beachieved by leading, supporting anddeepening every progressive actionof the masses. Today when Fascistsmd reactionaries 4he world overihreaten democracy and peace, andblock the road to Socialism, thosewho really are working for Socialismmust league together with all liberty-loving people to defend democracy.The Communists will work togetherwith all groups for the developmentof a progressive Farmei’-Labor move¬ment, the American form of the Peo¬ple’s Front.• • *The Socialists believe that war,Fascism, poverty, exploitation, areevils which in modern society arerooted in capitalism. Only the indep¬endent action of labor, led by a revol¬utionary Socialist Party, in an of¬fensive against capitalism, can eradi¬cate them. This requires (1) a genu¬ine Labor Party (with a program ofimmediate demands, as well as ananti-capitalist position) — not aPeople’s Front; (2) independent ac¬tion of labor against Fascists and'war-makers, —not reliance on col-jlective security by so-called "good,democratic" imperialist powers; (3)innerparty democracy, —not themonolithism of Communists andTrotskyites; intra-working - c 1 a s sdemocracy, —not terroristic suppres¬sion of differing views by a dominantgroup within the labor movement.This program is best expressed bythe Socialist Party of U. S. A.The Socialist Party Left Wing(Socialist Club) believes that the for¬ward progress of the working classis retarded, not advanced, by collec¬tive security and the people’s front. •It is a vicious lie that one can stopwar, and the other. Fascism. Thesocial revolution alone is equal to the,task. Students must enlist with theworkers against capital, not with oneimperialist against another. Browder’s endorsement of Roose¬velt’s Chicago speech, his declaredopposition to "seditious” radicalismin America, evince the bankruptcy ofthe Stalinite Third International,just as the "loyal" Socialist SecondInternational became a stinkingcorpse when it scrapped its revolu¬tionary notions in 1914 to supportthe Imperialist War.Against the People’s Front!Against Roosevelt’s war plans!For independent working class ac¬tion against fascism and war!Forward to the revolutionaryFourth International.CONSERVATIVE PLATFORMPreamble — The activity of gov¬ernment shall be confined to that a-amount of regulation necessary toguarantee to all citizens a minimumliving standard, but otherwise free¬dom in pursuit of economic welfare.Accordingly, there shall be freedomof contract; the regulation of hoursand wages beyond the minimum liv¬ing standard contrary to this princi¬ple; there shall be freedom of labor toorganize, but the private rights ofindividuals to oppose unionizationwithout coercion shall be upheld.Economy in the expenditures of thefederal, state, and local governmentsmust be stressed; the burden of tax¬es shall be as light as possible.In the interests of government ef¬ficiency in its proper sphere, a civilservice bised on the British modelshall be introduced.As a means to the preservation ofthe social and economic principle a-bovp stated, the present constitutionand particularly the powers of theSupreme Court shall be maintainedwithout further change.As implied in the above para¬graphs, this platform is definitely inopposition to the New Deal.The principle of economic libertyshall be extended to apply in thesphere of international trade. TheUnited States, by maintaining rela¬tions with foreign nations, does notnecessarily, therebv, approve theirforms of government.An army, navy, and air force un¬doubtedly adequate for national de¬fense, shall be maintained.Following a policy of isolation,strict non-intervention in such casesas the Civil War in Spain and thepresent conflict in the Orient shall bemaintained.

Herschel andLytle of the victor’s squad and Mer-riam, Psi U, registered touchdowns.It was the Alpha Delts thirdstraight win and cinches a berth forthem in the Alpha league playoffs.Phi Delta Theta had to go into anovertime period to collect its secondstraight triumph, 13 to 7, at the ex¬pense of Phi Kappa Sigma. Withshadows gathering on the field andthe count still knotted, Kacena snareda long pass over his shoulder andcontinued on to the goal-line.With Mahoney and Gramer pavingthe way for 30 points. Delta KappaEpsilon had little trouble vanquish¬ing Beta “B”, 39 to 0, in the topscore of the day.Via the air route, Chi Psi scored a13 to 0 victory over Pi Lambda Phi,as Wilson heaved the pigskin to re¬ceivers, Plumley and Osborn.The regulation playing time failedto suffice for the Chicago TheologicalSeminary team and the Gamma Al¬pha’s, for their game ended a score¬less tie, necessitating re-match.Green at Top inPing Pong ContestSecond round play is well underway in the Reynold’s club 'ping-pongtourney, as the spin-specialists con¬tinue to slap the celluloid over thenet. Many thrilling games have mark¬ed the contest although there havebeen no upsets as yet. Among thesegames, Gordon McNeil defeated Ern¬est Wilkins, 13 year old freshman inthree thrilling contests. Anotherfreshman sensation, Allan Green,climaxed his brilliant play when hereached the top position in the lad¬der by defeating Greenberg..In the club ladder, Perlman gainedsecond position with a victory overGreenberg, which knocked the latterinto the third spot. Kobak held downthe fourth position to complete thebig four in the ladder play.Krietenstein, one of the favoritesin both tourney and ladder play, wasforced to withdraw from ping pongcircles when he broke a bone in hishand while playing touchball.Tournament officials stated that allsecond round games must be playedby next Tuesday at 8:45 in the even¬ing. There will be no delay of thedead-line for unplayed games to becompleted as there was in the firstround play.Wilkins, youngest member of theFreshman class, follows his favoritepastime when he plays ping-pong. Heis not alone in his choice of a sport,since any noon the tables in thebasement of the Reynolds clubs arepiled three deep with prospectiveplayers, and all morning studentsgetting shaves and haircuts in thebarber shop are lulled to sleep by theclicks. By REXThe University, by definitely emphasizing the scholarly rather thanthe athletic extreme, has an exceed¬ingly beneficial effect on other col¬leges in bringing their sports andeducational policies into proper aligrn-ment, is the opinion of Herbert Blu-mer, new Maroon line coach and associate Professor of Sociology.Professor Blumer has had a wideexperience in football, being an All-American tackle at the University ofMissouri in 1921. He coached line atMissouri from 1923 to 1925, playedwith the Chicago Cardinals from1925 to 1933, with the exception of1932, and was selected All-Americanprofessional guard in 1929 and 1930.Universities Compete for PrestigeHe points out: ‘The fact that foot¬ball has tended to become popularlysymbolic of university life has meantthat it inevitably becomes subject tothe characteristic features of com¬petitive life. American universities,like practically all American institu¬tions, are involved in a competitionfor prestige. Collegiate foot^ll re¬flects this process and has become oneof the primary means by which pres¬tige is gained in the eyes of themasses of the people.“Obviously, therefore, the first ob¬jective of collegiate teams becomesthat of winning games and the inter¬est of the partisans of the particularcollege along this direction unques¬tionably serves as a pressure to se¬cure success in this competitive pro¬cess.Basic Conflict“As practically always happens in HORTONour American institutions, this condi¬tion occasions a basic conflict betweentwo opposing principles. The conflictin colleges between the scholarlyideal and athletic supremacy is justone instance of similar conflicts inGAMES TODAYGreenwood Field3 Judson 300 vs Snell3 Burton 700 vs. Burton 6004 Judson 400 vs. Hitchcock4 Burton 800 vs. Burton 600.case of other institutions as they be¬come involved in the competitive pro¬cess. The actual situation in Ameri¬can colleges is pretty much of acompromise between these two prin¬ciples.For the most part they seem to berather neatly adjusted to one an¬other. If the school becomes toothe expense of the ideal of scholar-conspicuous success in football atship it is likely—as seems to be hap¬pening now in the case of the Uni¬versity of Pittsburgh—to suffer fromthe threat of exclusion. This operatesto cause it to realign the emphasison the two principle so as to regainan acceptable sta^s.Emphasb on Scholarship“A school such as the Universitywhich places almost all its emphasisupon the scholarly ideal naturally isput to a disadvantage in the sphereof athletic contests.’’ Professor Blu¬mer claims however that this is pre¬cisely what helps to influence theother schools to a readjustment.BasketbaU Workouts Prove Chicago’sBig Ten Threat Has Real BasisWith the entire varsity basketballsquad intact from last year’s com¬petition, Chicago, on paper, figures tobe a definite threat in Big Ten com¬petition this year, thus ending itswoeful record of 26 straight Big Tendefeats.The basketballers to whom thegreat task of emerging victoriousfrom a game has been intrusted arealready preparing for their assign¬ment.Since formal practice under CoachNels Norgren’s tutelage will not be¬gin until the final football helmet ispacked away in the moth balls andsince this formality leaves a scantweek before the varsity five’s open¬ing clash with De Paul on December4, the Maroon hoopsters have beenworking out daily in the fieldhouse,between 4 and 6.There have been no scrimmages asyet, the cagers being content merelyto accustom their eyes to the hoopsand to generally get into condition.Of the entire varsity team, onlyJohnny Eggemeyer, Jerry Jeremy,John Mahoney, and Bob Cassels havebeen working out in the field house,for Captain Ken Peterson, Bob Fitz¬gerald, and Meyers at present arewearing gridiron togs, while MorrieRossin and Jack Mullins have nothad time to attend the pre-seasonpractices.Only long Paul Amundsen, veterancenter, is a doubtful proposition. Atpresent ineligible Amundsen has beenburning the midnight oil in hope of reinstating himself by December.Sophomore material from whichthe reserve strength will be mouldedis fairly impressive. Those who haveappeared daily in the fieldhonse ,areE^b Bigelow, Howard Isaacson, CarlStanley, J. W. Wallace, L. Paine, S.H. Topping and Dick Lonsberg.Freshman candidates have been us¬ing the floor between 2 and 4. How¬ever, according to Coach Norgren, amajority of them are inexperienced,having had little prep competition.Two exceptions are Joe Stampf, Cal¬umet high school, who broke theindividual scoring record of the Uni¬versity tourney last year with 23points, and Bill Georgiim, MountCarmel prep star.Scientist Arrives toStudy Whale EmbryoComing to do dissection work on awhale fetus, Dr. D. P. Quring ofWestern Reserve University arrivedat the University Saturday. He stu¬dies the sympathetic nervous system.The 8 months 300 pound fetus was'obtained this summer by Dr. L. L. IRobbins of the Pharemacology de- jpartment from a pregnant 64 foot;finback whale at a whaling station in |the Queen Charlotte islands. It wasjembalmed by pumping into it a bar- irel of formaldehyde, and shipped toChicago in a ton foot long woodenbox. The box was too large to get inthe building and the fish had to becarried up to the fifth floor by hand.SPECIAL STUDENTLUNCHEON25cREGULAR LUNCHEON35cEVENING DINNERS40cDELICIOUS FOODWE ESPECIALLY CATER TO CLUBPARTIESFREE USE OF CARD ROOMMIRA MARDINING ROOM6212 Woodlown Ave. KITTY DAVISCo-ed LoungeandUniversity Bar75 COLLEGE EDUCATEDEMPLOYEES TO SERVEAND ENTERTAIN YOUJACKSON & WABASHChicago. DL Psi U’s Score MoralWin Over Beta ThetaPi in Touchball GameThrough no fault of the Betas orthe Psi U’s, the question of “brainsversus brawn’’ is till unsolved. Run¬ning what may be termed a “grudge’’game into two overtimes, the Psi U’sscored a moral victory over theiropponents by holding them to a scoreless tie in Saturday’s eventful game.The only result of the contestwas to strengthen each fraternity’sposition (in its own opinion). TheBetas, who had relied upon the sup¬eriority of “mind over matter,” weredisappointed, but so were the Psi U*8,who had planned on collecting thedollar-per-man bet which had beenmade.Horseshoe TourneyBegins TomorrowNear West StandPotential horseshoe tossing champ¬ions were busily limbering up, get¬ting their pitching arms in shape to¬day.Incentive for the sudden action wasthe announcement that AutumnHorseshoe Tournament competitionwill be held tomorrow afternoon inthe courts opposite the West Stand,between 56th and 67th streets onEllis avenue.Competition will begin at 3 p. m.and contrary to former custom, willbe concluded on the same day, ac¬cording to Walter Hebert, Intramur¬al department head.
