Vol. 40, No. 13 Z-149 mt Batty rnmmTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1939 Price Thrre CentsInsideStory* *RICHARD C. MASSELLPEARL C. RUBINSDurinj? the past summer the nameof Ernest A. Hooton, Harvard an¬thropologist, became known fromcoast to coast. Hooton, author ofCrime and the Man, Apes, Men andMorons and Twilight of Man had dis¬covered a criminal type! Hooton hadannounced the biological decline of thehuman race! Hooton’s name was car¬ried by magazines and newspapersacross the land! Life gave the profes¬sor a five page story.But University of Chicago socialscientists, long the leaders in suchfields, were far from enthusiasticover the work that Hooton did or thepublicity that he received. While mostauthorities were reluctant to voiceopinions, the truth is that most socialscientists at this University considerHooton’s work to be unscientific andhis purpose foolish. Hooton, it seemsto scholars here, had a preconceivednotion about criminals which he al¬lowed to influence his critical judg¬ment.* * ♦VV’hat Hooton tried to do, as thebasis for Crime and the Man was toe.xamine physically a group of crim¬inals and a group of non-criminals toshow that the criminals as a classtend to have certain characteristicswhich w’ere different from the corres¬ponding characteristics of the averageperson.Now this in itself, according toauthorities in criminology, w'as ab¬surd for Hooton was trying to findbiological causes for a social phenom¬ena. Had the author known moreabout crime, they feel he never wouldhave looked for any .such simple ex¬planation.In the research itself the HarvanIprofessor made one glaring mistake—a mistake so bad that it made hiswhole investigation worthless. Forhis control group (the group of av¬erage people) he took people who wereobviously not average. He examinedfii emen and members of the state mi¬litia—men whose occupations makethem neces.sarily far above average inphysique.Not only should he have not usedfiremen and militiamen as controls,hut he should have made an attemptto u.se only people who came from thesame economic, sociological class as ithe criminals he examined. When pos¬sible he should have examined non-delinquent friends of the criminals hechose. This would have been the scien¬tific way.Thus says Chicago’s Ernest W.Burgess, internationally known forhis work on delinquency, “BecauseHooton’s controls were inadequate, hiswork as a contribution to science isworthless—except to show how suchresearch should not be done.’’* * *To Louis Wirth, associate profes¬sor of Sociology, Hooton’s investiga¬tions seem not only full of fallaciesbut misdirected. When Hooton looksto the biological constitution for thecause of crime, he shows plainly, ac¬cording to Wirth that he doesn’t evenunderstand what crime is and themanner in which the subject wouldhave to be formulated to make it sus¬ceptible to scientific investigation. Heis resuscitating Lombroso’s discred¬ited theory a half century after with¬out marshaling any substantially bet¬ter evidence or analysis than was thecase then.The members of the Anthropologydepartment, not willing to be quotedon the topic (by special order ofChairman Fay-Cooper Cole) are nev¬ertheless not plea.sed with the Hootonconclusion on the decline of the hu¬man race. It is possible that at somefuture meeting, they will discuss thisquestion and emerge with a very care¬fully worded statement which will at¬tention to inaccuracies in the Har¬vard man’s work while at the sametime reiterating their great respectfor the man as a scholar.* «Some questions they might take upconcern how one physical trait canbe considered inferior to another.Also they might notice that Hoo¬ton dedicates one of his books to Sir(Continued on page three) Charles O’Donnell Selectedto Head Homecoming CommitteeBud LindeUf Marty Lev¬ity Jack Bernhart Ap¬pointed; Choose Woman,Charles O’Donnell has been selectedchairman of the Homecoming Com¬mittee with Jack Bernhart, Bud Lin¬den and Marty Levit completing thegroup it was announced yesterday bythe Student Social Committee. Awoman, not yet selected, will be ap¬pointed later the Committee added.O’Donnell, Prior of Blackfriars anda member of Phi Kappa Psi, was se¬lected for the job because of his rec¬ord in handling publicity for Black¬friars last year and because he usual¬ly has “big ideas,’’ the Committeesaid.The Committee will work with IronMask and Skull and Crescent inhandling the numerous affairs ofHomecoming Week and wdll be underthe supervision of the Student SocialCommittee, according to Bob Rey¬nolds, Social Committee Chairman.Try to Match 1938Homecoming, traditional event onall college campuses, is usually thetime of the year when school spiritand color reach a zenith at the Uni¬versity. Last year the return of Al¬onzo Stagg to the campus to pit hisfootball team against the school atwhich he coached for 40 years, createdthe brightest homecoming Chicagohad seen for a decade. This year, theHomecoming Committee’s clearly de¬fined task will be to organize a cele¬bration that reaches last year’s highsuccess.Main event on a homecoming cal¬endar is the football game which thisyear will be with Ohio State’s mightyBuckeye’s, Saturday, November 11.Supporting the big game are a hostof events which include a bonfire andpep session folKwed by a snake dance.Victory Vanities, a HomecomingDance in Ida Noyes, Friday night,and as usual, adding to the gala at¬mosphere, fraternities will decoratetheir houses in competition for thecoveted Homecoming Decorations Cup.Victory V'anitiesVictory Vanities, the annual inter-frateinity dianiatic effort, will becarided out in the usual manner thisyear with Richard Himmel of Skulland Cre.scent taking charge.Pay TriJnite toGrace Al)l)ottwith MeetingDelegates to the 44th Illinois Con¬ference on social welfare will halttheir discussions of social problemstoday to j)ay tribute to one of theirmost fame<l members who died lastJune, Dr. Grace Abbott, Universityprofessor and eminent social worker.Members of the conference willgather in Mandel Hall at 5 to attendthe memorial service sponsored by thestate conference, the Illinois and Chi¬cago chapters of the American As¬sociation of Social Workers, and theSchool of Social service Administra¬tion.Memorial to Grace .AbbottProfessor Sophonisba Breckinridge,social service professor, said the pro¬gram would be “more of a discussionof the things in which Dr. Abbott wasinterested than a memorial service.The noted social worker ‘would likeit better that way’,’’ she added.A. L. Bowen, director of the Illinoisdepartment of Public Welfare, willpreside at the meeting. Speakers in¬clude Catherine Lenroot, JosephineRoche, Joel D.

This group will electa chairman to serve as the guidingforce of the executive council. Hisimmediate concern will be the super¬vision of a constitutional committee.I’^se Petition .MethodCandidates for the council postswill be selected by the usual petitionmethod.

Thosenine receiving the highest total willautomatically take office.Schedule of EventsThe constitution, aside from con¬taining powers of rererendum, willprobably be a conglamerate of ideaspresented at yesterday’s gathering.The order of events are as follows:Monday 23, registration for voters;Tuesday, petitions given out; Thurs¬day, petitions in; Friday, publicationof successful petitioneers; Monday,platforms printed; Tuesday, election.Hayilon Speaks atHillel MeetingThe Hillel League opens its year’sprogram with a fireside meeting Fri¬day night.

Duke EllingtonPlays at IF BallUntimely FirePut out ByTimely ActionDriven into cover by the rules pro¬hibiting smoking in University class¬rooms and corridors, an unnamed lawstudent dove into the men’s restroomin the Law School for a legal smoketo quiet his jittery nerves. This wasat 2:46 yesterday afternoon.At 2:47 he dropped his lighted cig¬arette into the tall wastebasket, andleft. By 2:48, there was a small buttidy fire in the wastebasket. At 2:49,student Dave Gottlieb went down¬stairs to buy a bar of Hershey’s choc¬olate with a nickel he had borrowed.2:49.5, and he noticed the fire. Quick¬er than thought (2:50) he dashedup to the Law School office and pantedthe news to the secretary. At 2:53,the wastebasket was on its last legs,and the Maroon reporter was on thescene. A minute later, ponderous Ly¬man, assistant to Lyman R. Flookarrived. Grabbing a fire extinguisher,he extinguished the fire and the creasefrom the Maroon reporter’s pants.At 2:58 two bright red fire engines,and a green Pulse photographer joinedthe milling throng. Several burly fire¬men, Elroy Golding, and two goodlooking girls ran down to see whatwas going on. By 3:03, the firemenhad left, wagering that a team fromthe Girl’s Reformatory could beat theUniversity’s varsity squad. No onetook the wager.Meet to PlanConfereneeAgainst WarAlthough lacking support from thePeace Council, five student sponsorsare continuing with their plans for adiscussion of a peace or anti-war con¬gress. The meeting wall take placein Ida Noyes’ Alumnae Room, Thurs¬day evening at 8.Under the leadership of ChapelUnion’s president. Bud Briggs, YWC¬A’s Ruth Neuendorfer, Joe Rosen-stein. Chairman Sid Lipshires of theASU, and Jim Peterson of the Com¬munist Club notices have been sentto all campus organizations. Ten un¬dergraduate groups and seven grad¬uate clubs announce that memberswill attend, either as delegates or rep¬resentatives. However, any studentwho believes himself in accord withother war haters is asked to attendthe meeting and assist in discussingthe situation with organization rep¬resentatives.After the election of a temporarychairman the meeting will center ona discussion of plans for a tw'o orthree day congress, perhaps to cli¬max in an Armistice Day demonstra¬tion. An organizational committee isexpected to be elected to carry onthe work after the meeting. Whilethe Peace Council has as yet givenno hint as to its stand, the spon¬sors expressed the hope that it willthrow’ its support with the meeting.Grene Speaks inLaw School SeriesAs the second speaker in the publiclecture series sponsored by the Law’School, David Grene, instructor inGreek, will discuss “Social and LegalProblems in Sixth—and Fifth—Cen¬tury Athens,” today at 3:30 in LawNorth.

Dance Will Be Held atDrake; Ellington JustBack from Europe.“Duke” Ellington and his band havebeen signed to play at the Inter-Fra¬ternity Ball on Thanksgiving Eve.Ellington was finally selected after anumber of bands, such as Cab Cal¬loway, were rumored as slated for theBall. The IF Committee will meet to¬night at 7:30 in the Reynolds Clubto make plans for the affair.The dance will be held in the GrandBallroom and Tower room of theDrake Hotel. Bids will be $3.25 a cou¬ple. Dick Glasser is in charge of ar¬rangements.Just Returned from EuropeEllington has recently returnedfrom a European tour where his pressagent says “He knocked ’em cold”.However, he is well known to sweet-hot music lovers on campus for hismany records and original composi¬tions. “Solitude”, “Swamp Fire”, and“Blue Mood” are among his bestknown numbers.Schools and Junior Leagues allover the country fight for Ellingtonand his sixteen piece band. He was intown last Saturday night playing fora big Chicago organization.Roosevelt Monkey-WrenchLast year the Council was not ableto sign such a good orchestra becausethere was a shift in the date of thisdance traditionally held on Thanks¬giving Eve. This year PresidentRoosevelt threw a temporary monkeywrench into the plans by changingthe date of Thanksgiving. How’everschedules are being shifted so thatthe Ball will not interfere with reg¬ular rushing functions.On the Interfraternity Council areJohnny Culp, Sigma Chi, as head;Jerry Abelson, Pi Lam; Jack Carlson,Deke; Bill Macey, Phi Psi; and DickGlaser, Zeta Beta Tau.Gregory Huffaker, of the junior IFCommittee, has started collecting ma¬terial for the Maroon fraternity sur¬vey which will begin on November 1.Every year the Maroon surveys allfraternities on campus giving vitalstatistics for freshmen interested injoining.Friday ’’C”Book Dance hasCut - In ContestWolves will be encouraged.

Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Richard PhilbrickAssistant: Robert LawsonYou Lose— TravelingBazaarIt is amazing in this day andage that some University stu¬dents are actually able to believethe present world conflict does¬n’t concern them. They resenthearing so much about it, theysay; it is an off-campus affair,and their business is more orless with books. Apparently itwouldn’t be hard to convincethese people that the Civil Aero¬nautic Authority is offering toteach students to fly so that theymay investigate how favorableatmospheric conditions are forbuilding ivory towers higher.When peace is threatened allthings that make life good toevery man are in danger. Menlose their lives and humanity;women and children lose theirhusbands, fathers, and brothers;citizens lose their liberties. Stu¬dents lose all these things andmore, for of all classes of peoplethey are most fortunate, and sohave to pay the biggest pricewhen civilization and reason col¬lapse.Because the world shows it¬self too stupid or too wicked tosolve its problems reasonablystudents have to exchange therational activity to which peaceand freedom are necessary con¬ditions for machine guns andbombing planes. It is probablethat the peace and freedom ofAmerica may be threatened. Ifso, even those here who are nottruth seekers lose. The loss in¬volves more than climbing downfrom ivory towers: it meansgiving up all the simple pleas¬ures of college life unspoiled bymuch study; it ends the luxuryof ignoring off-campus affairs.It puts a shocking finish to thecloistered life.But the students who aretired of all the shouting aboutwar have some right on theirside. So much of the noise is justhysteria; and childish scream¬ing in the face of frustrationdoes no more good than buryingheads in the sand.The president of ColumbiaUniversity said the other daythat America has a share in warguilt because she has not doneher duty in helping find andeliminate causes of war. Thisshould be a challenge to stu¬dents. If those who should bemost reasonable do not use thetime remaining to them in meet¬ing such problems rationally,then they not only sacrifice theirultimate hopes of survival; butthey make it seem that the bestof man is not worth saving. By DICK HIMMELThe Power of the PressIllustrious people either spend theirtime trying to get their name in thepaper or keep it out. Take ElizabethFrench for instance, she spent a halfhour trying to cover up a story abouta brawl in Hanley’s over her honor,which was staged by Chuck Mouldson offensive and Dan Barnes on thedefensive. Not that so much happen¬ed; Frantz Warner chimed in and hitMoulds over the head with a beerbottle, and Mike Hanley threw themall out, but E.B. was a little worriedthat people might get the wrong im¬pression if an account of it appearedin the Maroon.On the other hand thei'e is differ¬ence in power among the variouscampus presses. For example Pulsecalled Ruth Brody. Maroon Boardmember, “Beta Battered Brody’’ andsaid she ran the Maroon. No one saidanything about the crack except, “al¬literation, isn’t it?” But last week theMaroon suggested that perhaps therewas friction on the Pulse Board andimmediately the staff rose up in armsto defend themselves against this in¬sidious onslaught. Emil Hirsch draft¬ed a letter to the Maroon editorswhich Bob Davis brought in. just tomake sure that no one believed thestory. After reading the letter, ofcourse no one believed it.The press finally lost Marjorie Kuh.For years she has been built up asthe BWOC without a club. Last weekshe pledged Quadrangler and lost heramateur standing.Some people try to get their namein the paper on the basis of a “won¬derful story.” which is not very won¬derful at all. Myra Ifkonnen, anIdiot’s Delightish looking blonde, oncehad a story about the Cabin Inn. TheCabin Inn is a black and tan joint onsouth State Street. The entrepreneursat the door greet each man with.“Can I fix youse up with a girl or aboy, Buddy?” Myra’s story was abouttwo Phi Psis she saw there who were“drunk and doing the strangestthings.” Of course there is nothingto the story. The boys were probablydoing a bit of sociology on the sly. Alot of University men, even AlphaDelts like Le.ster Dean, do some re¬search there.Some men keep going from one dayto the next on press clippings. OldProfessor Pape, the “world’s greatestartist” is kept alive only by drink andthe clippings he has from collegenewspapers all the way back 40 years.Dr. Pape will be head man at the PhiPsi “Esquire” party Saturday night.The Press can misconstrue, also. Ifsomeone started to make dirty cracksabout the Grant .\dams-GeraldineLane duo, people could certainly getthe wrong impression.The Press cannot hold a beautifulromance together, however. The Ma¬roon’s favorite Hart Perry sat inHarper five tables away from PattyM'olfhope the other day. Diligentlythey avoided each other’s eyes. ThatEvon Vogt and Meg Hamilton brokeup is a minor rape perpetrated on thepress, after the Maroon gave themsuch a nice plug. BullSession* * *By JIM PETERSONBut what is the significance of allthis for America? First, we mustclearly understand that on September3, when Chamberlain’s plan had goneaskew, that the one-sided imperialiststruggle took on a two-sided impe¬rialist character, further than everfrom becoming a war again.st fascism.* * *The central issue for America is tostay out of the war. The war partyof Knox is approaching ever closerto those within the administrationwho would now lift the embargo. Theweird wooing of Roosevelt by im¬perialist Republicanism cannot beplacidly accepted. Our job is to dis¬pel the present confusion and makea many-sided struggle for our basicaim of keeping out of the war. Ourattitude toward the whole of the pres¬ent crisis must be base<l upon thisconsideration, even if certain tran¬sient gains come to one or the otherbelligerents. Therefore the crystal¬lization of a pro-ally coalition witha jingo nucleus leads inevitably tothe conclusion that we must, for thetime being, support the retention ofthe Neutrality Act. Wo must fightagainst the extension of credits toany belligerent. We must conduct awide-spread campaign to maintaincivil liberties. We must show the tie-up that exists between maintainingthe popular gains of the New Deal,and the struggle for peace. We mustunderstand that the division and mis¬leading of the working class by polit¬ical and economic demoralization isalways the tactic of imperialism atwar. -America mu.st learn that at¬tacks upon the working class move¬ment, ui)on civil liberties, u})on liv¬ing standards, is a prelmle to involv¬ing us in war. -America must learnthat the only real difference betweenHoover an<l Knox is the appropriatetiming of .American intervention.We students have a role to play inpreserving .American democracy.

The three chosen are Allen Drey-fuss, Paul Zimmerman, and Walter•Angrist.Dreyuss is best known for his ac¬tivities as the president of last year’sEreshman Council, and Zimmermanis a member of the varsity basketballteam. Angrist is Circulation Man¬ager of Pulse.Inside Story—Arthur Keith and therefore should befamiliar with the works of that man.It was Keith, in his EvolutionaryWounds, published in 1921, who firstshowed that certain inadequacies inman’s body are due to incompleteevolution. If this is true—and all an¬thropologists seem to think it is—then Hooton is off on the wrong trackwhen he tries to place the blame forthese inadequacies at the door of hu¬man degeneration. Page ThreeLaw School AddsThree New TutorsA revision in the tutorial groupsystem used last year by the LawSchool has brought three new ad¬ditions to the teaching staff, and in¬creased the opportunities for fresh¬men in the school to gain the bene¬fits of individual attention and re¬search in various fields of law.Three men, two of them graduatesof English universities, will supple¬ment the regular faculty this year inhelping groups of freshmen to solveproblems they encounter in their reg¬ular course of study, and in givingthem specific problems for research.Emerson Spies was a Rhodes scholar,ami returns to this country as a grad¬uate of Brasenose College at Oxford.Maurice Bathurst, who has the great¬est background of the three in thistype of work, was a tutor at Cam¬bridge College, England, under muchthe same system. He was in thiscountry writing a book on Propertywhen the war broke out in Europe,and as there was no longer a placefor him at Cambridge the Universitywas able to secure his services. Max¬well Isenberg, graduate of HarvardLaw School, also received his ma.stei'sdegree there, and is now writing histhesis for a Ph.I). in economics fromthe same school,English-.American PlanThe plan under which these menwork combines the metho<ls of theEnglish tutorial system, and thetheory of the American law review’.Under the former, all students meetfor joint lectures, and are divided intogroups meeting with tutors betweenlectures for more intensive study. Thebasis of the American law review isthat it demands a finishe<l jiiece ofwork from the high-ranking student.Law School freshmen at the Univer¬sity are divided into 14 groups, eachunder the guidance of one of the spec¬ial tutors or of a member of the reg¬ular faculty. Groups meet usuallyonce a week, general problems are discussed, and some specific problemof research is assigned each student.As he pursues this study independentlythe student meets alone with his tu¬tor for at least one additional hourduring the week, and submits his find¬ings on the problem assigned to him.Since this work must be completedin the form of a finished essay allfreshmen gain at least a bit of theexperience gained by those upperclass¬men fortunate enough to be electedto the Law Review.As a change from the system usedlast year, under which the entire bur¬den of tutorial work rested with theregular faculty, the advantages of thenew’ plan seem to be tw’ofold. Threenew’ people have tutorial group workas their sole responsibility, and at thesame time final i-esponsibility for theadministration of the plan remainswith the regular faculty.Freshmen Apply forBoard InterviewsF’reshmen interested in working onthe Student Publicity board W’ill beinterviewed tomorrow’, between 2:30and 4:.30 in Cobb 308A.

Of the 85 players to whom uni¬forms have been issued, approximate¬ly 50 are turning out for the dailypractice sessions on the Fieldhousefield.Although the frosh coaching staffhas not divided the squad into gradedteams, individual players on each ofthe four squads have consistentlydistinguished themselves in the drillsessions they have had with the var¬sity.Jay Berwanger went completely outon the limb the other night and saidthat any one of the four frosh sub¬squads could trim the varsity. How¬ever, both freshman and varsityplayers feel that this statement issomewhat of an exaggeration, butmany of the Fieldhouse fans believethat a team picked from the bestplayers on each of the cub squadswould make things difficult for thefirst stringers.Freshman StarsAmong the brightest of the bud¬ding stars who have been working outunder the direction of Coach NelsNorgren’s coaching staff are two all-state tackles, one from Nebraska, theother from East Chicago. Unfortu¬nately Bill Dodd, the Comhuskerlineman, was injured early in the sea¬son, and so has been unable to comeout regularly, but Chuck Boyd, theEast Chicago star is very conspicu¬ously present. George Drake, formerlya tackle at New Trier, who was onthe all suburban team for Chicagolast season, has also received manywords of praise from the thankfulcoaches for his play.There is almost a superfluity ofgood backfield material on the year¬ling squad, but there are certain menwho have been particularly outstand-ing. Among them is Bob Stenberg, allHigh ScoresFeature GamesThe Dekes, Phi Delts, Psi U’s, PhiPsi’s and Alpha Delts swelled theirvictory columns in intramural foot¬ball yesterday, the Dekes taking themeasure of Pi Lambda Phi 26-0 whilethe Phi Delts soundly trounced PhiKappa Sigma 43-7. Alpha Delta Phitrimmed Zeta Beta Tau 27-0, Phi Psibeat Sigma Chi 12-7, and the Psi U“B” topped the Phi Delta Theta “B”12-0.TODAY’S GAMES3 Phi Gam vs. Phi Sig4 Beta vs. Psi URaleigh “Lover” Steinbach and Ly-maine Paine showed the way to theirDeke brothers in the Pi Lam contest,Steinbach scoring first after a seriesof laterals and finishing up the scor¬ing on an end run.The Phi Delts continued their win¬ning ways with an easy 43-7 win overPhi Kappa Sigma. Dale Anderson,Paul Baumgart, and Bev Wilcox, PhiDelt transfer from Virginia, starredfor the Phis. Probably the most spec¬tacular play of the game came earlyin the second half on a series of lat¬erals from Wilcox to Anderson to Wil¬cox to DeSilva, who finally scored. PhiKappa Sigma’s lone tally came on theopening kickoff of the game on a passfrom Wilson to Wiley.Psi U “B” ScoresA surprisingly strong Psi U “B”team beat the Phi Delt “B” 12-0 withthe MacLellan brothers, “Dink” andChuck accounting for both Psi Utouchdowns.Phi Kappa Psi turned in a hard-fought 12-7 win over the stubbornSigma Chi team. Beatty and Stampfstarred on offense.The Alpha Delt sharpshooters triedto turn in two victories, but had tobe content with one, a 27-0 win overZeta Beta Tau. Arrendel, Stanley, andBusby starred for the Alpha Deltsand Mitchell led his Zeta Bete broth¬ers who held the Alpha Delts score¬less in the second half. The AlphaDelt “B” and Phi Psi “B” ’s played ascoreless tie. city left half from Lane Tech. Of allthe yearling gridders, Stenberg, whoweighs a mere 145 pounds, has giventhe varsity the most trouble. Thecoaching staff expects great things ofhim in years to come, despite hisdiminutive size.Others of the Class A backs areArt Moynihan, who was all-city atParker in 1938, Adam Kosacz, whowas captain of every major sport inhis senior year at St. Mary’s school,and Pete Nicola, who made a finerecord as fullback for three years atAmundsen High. For the Sakeof PosterityShould Bob Wasem have scoopedup the loose ball behind the goal linein that controversial play of the Har¬vard game?Would the play have been a touch-back or a safety if the ball had beendowned ?The referee stated that Harvardwould have been awarded a safetyand two points had the ball beendowned.If the ball had been fumbled by aHarvard man and had crossed thegoal line untouched by a Maroon manit would have automatically becomea touchback upon being downed bya Chicago player.It is probable, then, that a Chicago Gymnasts Prepare for Season;Only Three Lettermen ReturnBecause he lost five men throughgraduation. Coach Dan Hoffer expectshis present gymnastics squad to be“no better than last year” when theUniversity placed third in the Con¬ference meet and seventh in nationalcompetition.Only three experienced men, GlennPierre, Jim Failey, and A1 Robertson,are available this year. Pierre, thepresent captain, placed third in all-around competition in the last Con¬ference meet. The three gymnastsare juniors.man touched the ball after it hadbeen fumbled and that Wasem’s pick¬up pivvented a safety. Of the newcomers, Courtney andEarl Shenken appear to be the best.They are sophomores who obtainedtheir early experience at Senn High.According to Hoffer’s plans, thevarsity will be composed of eitherseven or eight men. Although theschedule has not been completed asyet, Iowa, Illinois, and Minnesota aredefinitely booked as opponents.“Freshmen will still be welcomedon the squad whether or not theyhave had previous gymnastic experi¬ence,” Coach Hoffer stated.The varsity squad practices dailyin Bartlett Gymnasium from 4:30 to6. Freshmen practice is held at thesame time.SHIRiSmstvifpsposrENJOY THIS WEEKS POST-—at 64, is Etigland’s Man of the Hour?——scented the Nazi danger from the start and became theimplacable enemy of Britain’s policy of “appeasement”?— was so feared for his brilliance they said, “There will hard¬ly be room for him in Parliament at 30 or in England at 40”?in Cuba, India, Egypt and South Africa; becameig is a world hero at 25 for his daring escape from a prison camp?— bottled up Germany in 1914 by mobilizing Britain’s Navy,on his own initiative, before the official declaration of war?— personally tooki the bianiie for Britain*# disastrous expedi¬tion against the Dardanelles?'
