Z-149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 12, 1939 Price Three CentsRival GroupsSettle StrikeControversyHold Anti-War Meetingson Two Days; SenatorNye to Speak.The peace situation, complicatedlast week by the prospect of threerival strikes against war, all set for11 o’clock April 20, with two strikecommittees scrapping for Mandelhall, was apparently resolved yester¬day.The All-Campus Anti-War StrikeCommittee, formed and headed by agroup of Trotskyites, will strike atthe traditional hour of 11 on themorning of April 20, in HutchinsonCourt. At the same time, the ASU,accepting the majority vote of thePeace Conference as its strike pro¬gram, will sponsor a meeting in Man-del hall.YCAWOn April 19 at 11, the Youth Com¬mittee Against War has reservedMamlel hall for its anti-war protest,for which Senator Gerald P. Nye ofNorth Dakota, and Ti\cker P. Smith,e<lucational director of the UnitedAutomobile Workers, CIO, have beenst'cured as speakers.Complications first set in with amisunderstanding in the Dean’s of¬fice, when both the ASU and theYC.4W were allowing to re.serveMandel for the same time. The mix-up, however, was straightened out,when it was definitely ascertainedthat the ASU had prior claims to theHall. The YCAW, therefore, switchedits strike to April 19.Six-Point ProgramThe All-Campus Strike Committee’ssix-point program is essentially thatof the Y'CAW: Support of the Ox¬ford Oath, which the YCAW, how¬ever, makes optional; against Roose¬velt war preparations; support ofthe war referendum amendment;again.st militarization of the CCC;diversion of all war funds to the un¬employed; against the NY A plan totrain 20,900 college pilots. To this,the YCAW adds planks which a<lvo-cate the combating of industrialmobilization plans, the strengtheningof neutrality legislation, the build¬ing of democracy at home, and workfor world economic and political co¬operation..Although the Committee asked theYC.AW to join its strike, the latterrefused unless the Committee wouldagree to become a YCAW member.This the Trotskyites i'efuse<l.

Davis.States that little work has been donef>n this aspect of the SEC and hencethat there was a definite need forthe research that went into the ar¬ticle.This is the first time that one ofthe featured articles has been thework of students. Normally they arewritten by faculty men, members ofthe bench, or a practicing lawyer.Contributors to the issue are JudgeHarry M. Fisher and MarjorieGrene. Fisher writes on the experi¬ences of a trial lawyer w'ith the Illi¬nois Civil Practice Act in an articlecalled "Persistence of Chitty.” Mrs.Grene discusses "Interpretations ofthe Law of Contracts.” v The ranks of Owl and Serpent weresplit yesterday, when Brothers RogerNielsen, Bill Webbe, and Phil Schner-ing .staged a free-for-all in front ofthe Coffee Shop at noon over a ques¬tion of Schnering’s business practicesas head of Cap and Gown.Schnering, annoyed at Nielsm’sstatement in a letter that he wasmaking questionable use of Cap andGown funds, knocked Nielsen down.Webbe, a fraternity brother ofSchnering’s, was told by a friend,whose name, he said, must remainunrevealed, that Nielsen had writtena letter in which he stated that ‘Tguess Schnering will be leaving forEurope soon. Cap and Gown wasn’tsuch a bad deal after all.”Accompanied by Webbe, Schneringmet Nielsen in front of the CoffeeShop yesterday noon, and accusedhim of defaming his character. WhenNielsen remained silent, Webbeurged Schnering to "sock him, Phil,”swung at Nielsen himself, but missed.The stocky Cap and Gown editor,however, had better success, knock¬ing Nielsen down with his first punch."I got sore when he accused me ofsharp business practices, and hithim,” Schnering said. Paul de Kruif, one of America’sforemost writers on scientific achieve¬ments in the field of medicine, willspeak tonight in Mandel Hall at 8:30.This will be his first public lectureand may be his last, since he is ap¬pearing because of a personal friend¬ship for Dr. Luckhardt.Dr. de Kruif’s lecture on “HumanConservation” is the sixth annual Ar¬no B. Luckhardt lecture, given underthe auspices of the University medicalschool’s chapter of Phi Beta Pi, na¬tional medical fraternity. There willbe no admission charge.Among Dr. de Kruif’s best knownbooks are Microbe Hunters, part ofwhich is required for the BiologicalSciences Survey, Hunger Fighters,Men Again.st Death, and Why KeepThem Alive? Besides his books onmedical science, he was the co-authorwith Sinclair Lewis, of the Pulitzerprize winning play, “Arrowsmith”.Phi Beta Phi, medical fraternity,has about forty chapters at variousmedical schools throughout the coun¬try, each of which presents an an¬nual lecture dedicated to some prom¬inent faculty member. The speakersare secured by the members and re¬ceive a stipend from the actives.All former lectures have been heldin the Pathology building, but be¬cause of the large audience expectedDr. de Kruif will speak in Mandel.Last year the Luckhardt lecture wasgiven by Henry Segrus of the insti¬tute of medical history at John Hop¬kins.Name Embree HeadOf Quadrangle ClubEdwin E.

Merriam, head of the Pol¬itical Science department, said yester-day."It is not wholly the gun, but theidea in the mind of the man whoholds the gun and deliberates onwhether to pull the trigger,” he said.Professor Merriam spoke on "TheOrganization of Violence,” the secondof four lectures on "Systematic Pol¬itics” which are part of the springlecture series of the University’s so¬cial science division.PLEDGING NOTICEKappa Sigma announces the ini¬tiation of the following men: Rob¬ert Afton, Walter Barlow, JackEdelbrock, Thomas Green, VernonKerns, Elmo Olson, Charles Schla-geter, and Alfred Schnoor. Formalinitiation was followed by a ban¬quet at the University Club of Chi¬cago. “How can we be sure when we handthe gun to our special servant that hewill not turn the gun against us?Curiously enough, the decisions areoften made by codes of honor orforms of custom and taboo ratherthan by steel and chemicals,” thespeaker said.“A major problem in the organiza¬tion of violence is presented by in¬ternational relations. Until a jural or¬der of the world is established, na¬tions will maintain armed forces fortheir national defense.“But how shall a nation protect it¬self against its protectors, if therearises a difference of judgment be¬tween them? Evidently the effectiverestraint upon the power hunger ofan army will not be that of physicalforce.“Guns are important in military or¬ganization but so is the willingness toobey. If the head of the army is alsohead of the state the solution is rela¬tively easy; there are, of course, Cae¬sars, Napoleons, and Washingtons."But more commonly the virtue of(Continued on page 3) Peace Delegates Meet;Hear Sharp, Krueger,Budenz SpeakHutchins Speaksat LeadersDinner TonightJohn Barden, Originatorof Dinners, Is Guest ofHonor.Because the first of the StudentLeaders’ Dinners was held under hisleadership five years ago, John Bar-'den, former Maroon editor, will be aspecial guest of honor at the thirdStudent Leaders Dinner at 6:30 to¬night* in Hutchinson Commons.The part of tonight’s program thatwill probably be of greatest interestto most students is the 45 minuteperiod in which Hutchins will answerstudent questions. There is a strongexpectation on the part of some thatHutchins will say, if asked, that hedefinitely does not intend to acceptthe SEC position or any other publicoffice.• Preceding the question period, thePresident will talk for about half anhour on “The New Plan—In Theoryand Practice.” In this he will explainwhat the originators of the Plan ex¬pected of it, how it has measured upto their exj^ectations, and what theprobable future of the Plan will be.Tickets are 85 cents. A few’ arestill available at the InformationDesk in the Press building, and atthe Judson Court office. All studentsalesmen must turn their tickets andmoney in at the Maroon office today.As the Commons have been guaran¬teed a definite number of guests andthis guarantee can only be exceededby a small margin, it is imperativethat students buy their tickets assoon as possible.Hochman andWelsh RecastIn Friar ShowTwo new characters in the Black-friars show have been recast in thelast week due to the inability of thepersons originally cast to take partin this year’s production, “Love Overthe Line.”Louis Welsh, sophomore member ofBeta Theta Pi has taken over thepart of Gregory Whapple, the Holly¬wood producer, which was to havebeen played by Welton White. Theother character, Valerie Dear, Holly¬wood Sweetheart, will be played byBill Hochman, another sophomore anda member of Pi Lambda Phi. Thispart was originally given to Ed Go*g-gin, but since he is now studying atthe Dowmtown campus, he will be un¬able to continue the part. White wasforced to resign through pressure ofhis studies.Welsh has been active in the Dra¬matic Association, having had a partin the Newcomers’ Bill during the fallquarter. He also appeared with theBeverly Shores Summer Stock Com¬pany, The Theatre of the Dunes.Hochman, a member of Skull andCrescent, performed in the Black-friars chorus of last year’s produc¬tion, “Where in the World.” Cornelius, RichmanHead Fourth AnnualStudent Conference.Peace in our time, Maynard Krue¬ger, assistant professor of Economics,said last night, firing the openinggun of the fourth annual all-carnpusPeace Conference, can be aided in itsrealization if the United States with¬draws its armed forces stationed out¬side the continental limits, and intro¬duces democracy into the field of itsown foreign policy.Peace in our time, Louis Budens,associate editor of the Midwest DailyRecord, stated can bciachieved if theUnited States extends' its good neigh-bor policy in Latin American, amendsits neutrality legislation, institutesimmediate cooperation with the SovietUnion.Malcolm SharpPeace in our time, Malcolm Sharp,associate professor of Law, believes,for the United States means keepingfree of the European situation, stay¬ing out of European wars, and head¬ing away from polities which maylead to war.“The more power the United Stateshas in the field of foreign policy,”Krueger said, opening the forum on“Peace in Our Times?,” “the moredangerous it is.” He advocates lesspresidential discretion in the forma¬tion of foreign policy and moi’e dis¬cretion on the part of the electorate.The realistic picture of imperialism,Budenz believes, is that it has reach¬ed its mad dog stage in Fascism; andthat Fascism is spreading the cancerof the second World War.AppeasementAppeasement is the cry of the im¬perialists in democratic countries,who prefer Fascism to what they con¬sider the greater evil of Communism.The fall of Hitler, he added, is thelast thing Chamberlain, Daladier andthe other representatives of imper¬ialism want. Their gestures aimed athalting Hitler are only made to playdown the rising indignation of theirown people.Sharp advocated a policy of isola¬tion. “We are paying too much at¬tention to Europe,” he stated. “Ourone interest should be in our own sit¬uation.“If we enter a European war, w’erisk the killing of 126,000 young men,a deleterious effect on our own gov¬ernment, and a destructive peace,”Sharp said.OfficersHarry Cornelius and Sara Rich-man, president and secretary of thePeace Council, were named chairmanand secretary of the Conference, re¬spectively.A resolutions committee of AlecMorin, Hazel Whitman, Henry Wil¬liams, Adele Rose, Ruth Neuendorf-fer. Bob Boyer, Bill Hankla, WebbFiser, Joe Rosenstoin, Joe Epstein,Jean Osgood, and the chairman andsecretary of the Conference was alsochosen.Survey BlackfriarsIn Pulse IssueTUITION COMMITTEEFurther action by the all-campuscommittee protesting the methodof the increase in tuition fees willbe discussed today at 12:30 in So¬cial Science 106.

I of the President, Reeves’ Committee1305 was approved by the Senate ’ surveyed the relationship that existsCommittee on Education and Labor, at present between federal, state, andGovernment AidResearch is a national re-,source.This is the purport of a 250page report of the Science Com¬mittee to the National ResourcesCommittee, published last year, jThe recommendations of the icommittee point to the advisa-'bility of cooperation among all iresearch institutions, especial- ily between the government and |responsible research agencies |outside the government. The re¬search of private institutions isoften, as in the case of the bio¬logical sciences, of great impor¬tance to the nation as a whole.The University, as one of theworld’s great private researchinstitutions, spends almost onethird of its total expenditures onresearch. Its researches in thebiological sciences are especial¬ly notable, and especially valua¬ble to general well being andprogress. Yet the University’sendowments pay the entire costof this great contribution to thenational resources. The incomefrom the University’s endow¬ments is shrinking, and may beexpected to continue to shrinkfor some time, in line with theexpectations of all the country’sendowed schools. Thereforemoney for new research projectsis difficult to get, machinery ex¬pensive to operate is used as lit¬tle as possible, and the Univer¬sity seeks to raise money by in¬creasing tuition.If the University, as a privateinstitution carrying on researchof striking general value wereto seek government funds forwork which is considered a na¬tional resource, financial worrieswould lighten until they becamebearable again, and instead ofworrying about how many as¬sistants they could do without,research workers would haveample funds. It is a Utopian con¬ception, but one which might beworked out, by cooperation coup¬led with guarantees of freedomof thought.Not all University researchcould be carried on by means ofgovernment grants, but enoughto make an appreciable differ¬ence in financial strain. It is im¬possible to expect that therecould be complete freedom to at¬tack the current administration.Surveys in fields which the gov¬ernment considers controversialcould continue to be financed outof the University budget. It isalso impossible to expect thegovernment to finance profes¬sorial research in matters ofpurely academic interest, or forprojects whose ends were notofficially approved. These toowould continue to be financed bythe University’s private funds.The government, as the guar¬dian of the nation’s welfare and Letters to theEditorlioard of Control,The Daily Maroon:For the past five years Americanstudents have demonstrated their op¬position to war by conducting: an an¬nual anti-war strike. The purpo.se ofthe strike has been two-fold: first, asa dress rehearsal for student actionin the event of war and secondly, asa means of educating American pub¬lic opinion to the need for a firm anti¬war stand. An integral part of the-strike has been the affirmation bystudents that they will not supportthe government in any war which itmay undertake.Today the need for an unequivocalstand against war is greater thanever before. A growing tide of warhysteria threatens to engulf Amer¬ican student opinion. The cleavagein the peace movement is clear: oneside favors armament expansion, themilitarization of youth, concerted ac¬tion by the “democratic” powersagainst the Fascist nations; the otherside believes that an armamentseconomy places us well on the roadto Fascism, that a policy of “col¬lective security” will inevitably leadto war. There can be no compromisebetween these diametrically opposedpoints of view.The Youth Committee AgainstWar believes in the extension of thebasic conditions of democracy andin the validity of the democraticmethod. Another world conflict wouldcompletely destroy such democracyas we now have. At the end of sucha war the possibility of a just peaceand a restoration of democratic rightsis a naive hope. As immediate andpractical measures to keep the UnitedStates out of war the Youth Com¬mittee .Against War advocates:1. End the armament expansionprogram and plans for a super¬navy.2. Let the people vote on war. Sup¬port a genuine war referendumamendment.3. Strengthen the neutrality actand take the power from thepresident to involve the UnitedStates in another imperialisticwar.4. Stop the militarization of youth.Keep the ROTC out of schoolsand colleges.5.

Many people sincerely assert thatI life without freedom would be worsethan death, and apparently arguethat the desire to take one’s own life1 ui , the right to take other men’s.The future is unknowable and ^ But only if war increased freedomthere can be no logical and irrefut- , w’ould this policy be advisable. It isable argument to prove that a cer- ^ just as great a sacrifice, just as cour-tain course of action will Ik> success- | ageous, just as praiseworthy thoughful or unsuccessful in the future. ' less often praised, to give upThere can only be a weighing of | things that make life worth Monroe Doctrine Mainly inRealm of Our Emotions—Rippyprobabilities in the light of experi¬ence. *"What evidence can the pacifist pro-diic'^ to support his belief that war,even in the present circumstances, isnot necessary, and would be the mostdisastrous course? The most commonargument is that the war would befi'Ught to further the wicked designsof men behind the scenes; but forevery one man who believes that(however true it may be) there are thelivingas to give up life itself. Either coursecan be only justified by the ends itwill achieve; those who are longsighted enough and long sufferingenough to undergo the shame andpain of surrender may trust they aredoing something to rid their chil¬dren’s children of the very fear ofwar. Pacifism is a constructive poli¬cy, not the mere repudiation of allforce, which would leave its adher¬ents permanently at the mercy of twoa thousand who believe that a war in i or three gangsters. It is the repudia-Kurope today against the axis pow¬ers would be a war against cruelty,injustice, and aggression, fought inthe name of democracy, law, and or¬der. The ideals are worthy, but arethe means practical?* * *('an we hope that so delicate aninstrument as Democracy, demandingsuch self-restraint and mutual co-op-vration will survive the unleashing ofsuch powerful emotions as the hateand distrust of war engenders, orthat the inevitable indi.scriminateslaughter of peoples will bolster upjustice and humanity permanently?Probably we shall not be asked tomake the world safe for democracyagain (the proverb is somewhat mus¬ty); this time we shall be asked totight “to prevent one nation fromdominating the world by force.” Justas long as governments and governedconsider the possession of armedforces and the pursuit of an indepen¬dent foreign policy to protect nation¬al interests part of sovereignty, solong will there be either a precari¬ous balance of power (such as wehave now), or the domination of onenation. War may change the 'domi¬nating nation; it will only confirmthe domination of force.Pacifism cannot prevent the ills oftoday; it seeks to prevent their repe¬tition tomorrow. It is absurd toimagine when the atmosphere of Eur¬ope is as overcharged as it is todaywith the electricity of envy, hate,greed, cruelty and bitterness that weshall escape a thunderstorm. Whethertoday war comes or not, many of usmust undergo suffering and humilia¬tion. Dr'tnkenness involves hangover;to get drunk again affords relief, butthere is only one end to that process.There is no use blinking at the factthat a pacifist policy would result inthe triumph of Germany and Italyin F'urope, and presumably .some formof Fascist government or supervisionfor all the peoples there. But theonly alternative is war which wouldentail infinitely greater destruction,suffering and demoralization withouta whit more protection to our free¬dom. It is surely better to choosethe other course.This argument will meet with con¬demnation and contempt from thou¬sands who cry that liberty must be“defended” and regard this as a fee¬ble surrender to the powers of evil,but it is no such thing. Our enmityto Fascism, if it is not a cloak tomere jealousy, it not an enmity toany nations but to a .scale of valueswe consider radically false. The ag¬gression and violence, the cruelty andoppression of Fascism are signs ofthat ideology; to go to war is toadopt these methods, to allow the evilto enter within us that we may de¬feat its portents outside. The defeatof Germany would undoubtedly de--'•troy the Nazi regime, but it wouldplant in the hearts of victor and van¬quished seeds of a regime as farworse than Nazidom as Nazidom isworse than Hohenzollernism.Pacifism furthermore offers hopethat a cure of those national diseasesof the brain to which Fascism wit¬nesses may be effected. Fascism isnourished on the hysteria born of I tion of the indiscriminate violence ofwar as it would be fought today, onthe practical grounds that it woulddestroy any of the ideals it set outto defend.However, if war does come in Eur-I ope, as seems inevitable, has the paci¬fist any part to play? While thiscountry is neutral its pacifist citizensmay work to keep it out of war, andto keep reason above passion so thatcivilization may continue when thewar is ended. If the United Statesbecomes involved he has the choice,which lies before the citizens of allbelligerent nations, between fighting,the action of despair because it seemsthat hope is dead, and a resolute re-fu.sal to participate in any way, inthe faith that thus he may set anexample that provides the sole fjiintglimmer of hope for the future.ASU Names DelegatesTo Peace ConferenceASU delegates to the All-CampusPeace Conference this year will beJoe Levinger, Roy Neil, Britton Har¬ris, Sam Wolfenstein, Judy ForresterEmily Shield, Peggy Rice, MargotFaust, Edward Fizdale, Anne Bord¬ers, Elton Ham, Randolph Snively.Like the officers and executive com¬mittee, delegates were elected bymail by the membership. Cautious Americans, who consumetons of reading matter about Europeand still believe* in staying out ofEuropean affairs, will fight at thedrop of a hat for Latin America,about which they know virtuallynothing.This opinion was expressed lastnight by J. Fred Rippy, professor ofAmerican history. Professor Rippyspoke on “The Struggle for Indepen¬dence,” the first of five lectures onLatin America at the Art Institute.Monroe Doctrine“The Monroe Doctrine now resides |almost wholly in the realm of our jemotions. To uphold it the people of |the United States will fight without |stopping to ask the reason why.“Yet Americans give more atten¬tion to Asia, Africa, and even theNorth and South Poles than to thisarea concerning which our fathersframed a vitally important policy.“In defense of this area, concern¬ing which we know almost nothing,we are willing to fight and die, with¬out asking whether the region de¬sires to be defended, is worth defend¬ing, or is capable of co-operating inits defense.“The determination to defend Lat¬in America against non-American ag¬gression rests upon a solid basis. Itis grounded on national security, eco¬nomic interest, and an idealistic devo¬tion to democracy and the right ofsmall nations to their own indepen¬dent life.Margaret Pease LeavesInt-House to MarryMiss Margaret Pease, assistant incharge of social activities at Inter¬national House, leaves the Univer¬sity on May 1 for Tuscon, Arizona.One month later she is to become thebride of Pies Harper, a teacher inTucson, on the patio of her home.After the honeymoon, the coupleplan to return to Tucson. Miss Peasehas no immediate plans after hermarriage.“I don’t know much about cooking,and perhaps it might be wise if Ilearned then,” she said. “After mywork at International House I don’tthink I’ll be able to settle down anddo nothing. But I haven’t made upmy mind what it will be.” “But the conviction of its wisdomis so firmly imbedded that the policyis a subject no longer to be analyzed.”Struggle for IndependenceLatin Americans had a more diffi¬cult struggle for independence thanthe people inhabiting the thirteenEnglish colonies in North America,Professor Rippy said.“Both of the struggles for indepen¬dence were civil wars,” he said. “Forif one-third of the people of the Eng¬lish colonies were loyalists, evenmore in Spanish America supportedthe cause of the mother country.“In England the Thirteen Coloniesfound many sympathizers; in Spainthe colonist insurgents found few.“The war in Spanish America in¬volved a much larger area; and mili¬tary operations were rendered; farmore difficult by topography and cli¬mate.“The Latin American struggle al¬so lasted three times as long—seven¬teen years in many places, as com¬pared with five or six in North Amer¬ica. It received no direct official aidfrom the enemies of Spain and wasneither accompanied nor followed bypolitical unity; eventually twenty in¬dependent nations were established.”Latin American nations began tothrow off the Spanish rule of 1817,but although most had completedtheir independence by 1825 Cuba didnot become free until 1898, ProfessorRippy pointed out.After the ties with Europe hadbeen broken, most of the Latin Amer¬ican countries were involved instruggles among themselves for an¬other fifteen years. Panama, the lastto achieve its present status, did notbecome a nation until 1903.Tennis Rackets$1.65 to $17.50Balls. Presses, and all accessoriesShorts. Sox, Shirts. Shoes, etc..

A captain should have the optionto decline any free throw and elect totake the ball out of bounds on thetake the bal lout of bounds on theside of the court nearest to the spotof the foul ... The personal foul shallstand against the offender...”In all its ramified causes and ef¬fects this recommendation is rathera complicated one. Looking at it froma player angle it seems that teamswhich lead by a narrow' margin inthe final moments of a basketballgame are prone to deliberately foultheir opponents (holding, pushing,etc.) ...willing to allow the otherteam to take a free throw in orderto get the ball and freeze it; therebymaintaining the slim lead until thefinal gun sounds.JOE McCarthyWINS BALL GAMES EVENIN HIS sleep/He’s baseball’s most suc¬cessful manager —and henever played in a big-leaguegame!

McCracken made the Chicagoteam’s lone error of the day on theplay, allowing Mueller to reach third;when Levit caught Mueller unawaresbetween second and third. Kruse, theTech pitcher grounded out, but Muel¬ler came home with Armour’s firstand only score.Tie ScoreThe Maroons came back with ascore in their half of the first to tiethe game up when two errors putSparky Calogeratos on second. A paircf singles by Feeney and CaptainRemy Meyer brought Cowan, whowas running for Calogeratos, home.Sparky suffered a wrenched shoulderwhen he crashed into Leonard, of Ar¬mour on his way to second.After the first inning, no Armourmen reached first until left fielderJames came through with a single inthe fifth with two out. He managedto get to second, but nothing cameof the threat, for Moculeski, the nextman knockeil a long fly to left, end¬ing the inning.Over the FenceIn the Chicago half of the fourth,Levit, the first man up poled a longfly over the left field fence for whatlooked like a sure double, but inrounding first, he neglected to touchthe bag; the umpire told him of hiserror, but Kruse, the Tech hurlersnapped the ball over to first for theputout.Chicago finally broke the deadlock-in the sixth when Levit hit a Texasleaguer to left. A fielder’s choice andan error brought in the deciding runof the game.In the eighth Lopatka mowed thehapless Armour hitters down in or¬der with three strikeouts, but the Ma¬roons opened up with three hits andtwo runs to put the game on ice. TheMaroon hurler brought his strikeouttotal up to nine with two victims inthe last frame.Captain Remy Meyer and BobBrinker were the only two men onthe Chicago team to make more thanone hit; Brinker had three for fourand Meyer two for three. All but oneof the other players, however, had ahit apiece.

In a sluggingduel the Alpha Delts outhit the Betasto the tune of 18-14. Although thewinner’s fielding was sloppy at times,they showed enough power at theplate to make them the favorites towin the Alpha League and therebyreach the play-offs.The Psi U’s, traditional intramur¬al experts, were no match for a hard¬hitting Sigma Chi outfit.

Coaches Moveto Cut Downon Cage FoulsMost important of the several pro¬posals accepted at a recent meetingin Chicago of the national organiza¬tion of college basketball coaches wasthat of the suggested ruling whichwould eliminate intentional fouling inthe final minutes of a close game. Oth¬er accepted suggestions concerned thestandardization of basketball equip¬ment, and the size of the court.Resembling somewhat the move¬ments of a bill in Congress, these jrule change propo.sals are still inthe nebulous state, since the sugges¬tions accepted at the aforementionedcoaches conclave and other proposalsrecommended by nation-wide organi¬zations of both the A.A.U. mentorsand the instructors of the Y.M.C.A.hardcourt teams must be lumped to¬gether and handed over to an all-in-
