No. 35 Z.149 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1939 Price Three CentsChuck Towey PlaysFor Xmas Carnival>Iaroon Plans BiggestDance, Lov Prices, forDecember 8 ^ ete.rhuck Towey, his band, and Mar¬jorie Grey yesterday siprned to occupythe bandstand in the well decoratedIda Noyes prym from 9 to 12:30 whenthe Daily Maroon holds its ChristmasCarnival on Dec. 8. Planned at theinstijration of the Advisory Council tothe Student Social Committee, theCarnival, with its low admission—30cents for stags, 50 cents for couples—will attempt to set a precedent forlow priced, highly attractive, well at¬tended fetes, and will climax the Win¬ter quarter social season.Maroon DemonstratesFor many years the Daily Maroonhas confined its extra-Lexington ac¬tivities to sponsoring debates in Man-del Hall, to organizing such mass dis¬cussions as the Campus Congress ofSpring, 1938, and to backing the ac¬tivities of other University studentgroups. The Christmas Carnival,however, has been planned to demon¬strate to the campus that more dances,and more successful dances can beheld; also that wide and original pub¬licity can be instrumental in joggingjaded student interest.Hefore Exam CrammingThe Advisory Board, meeting withthe Social Committee on November 6,brought up the fact that no socialevent had been scheduled to fill in theThanksgiving-Christmas gap whichprecedes exams. A dance was sug¬gested, and Dave Martin, member ofthe .Advisory Board and Chairman ofthe Maroon Board, suggested that theMaroon sponsor the dance.Because staff members need the ex¬perience of promoting all-campusevents the Social Committee agreedto act only in an advisory capacitygladly allowing Maroondo all the work. Skull-CrescentMaking WinterDance PlansRuth Ahlquist,Jack CampbellHead DA CastThe complete cast of the DA work¬shop’s “Uncle Vanya’’ was announcedtoday by Director William M. Ran¬dall. Appearing in the play whichwill be given December 4, 5, and 6,are Ruth Ahlquist as Helena and JackCampbell as Astroff. Other membersof the cast are Pierce Atwater asUncle Vanya, Mariam Castleman asSonya, Robert Cohn as the Professor,Gloria Ploepst as the nurse, PeggyO’Neil as the grandmother andGeorge Schloss as Telegin.Ruth Ahlquist made her first ap¬pearance on campus as the nurse in“Night Must Fall”, and this is herfirst role which requires an individu¬alist interpretation. Campbell, a DAveteran, who was also seen in “NightMust Fall” gets his first major rolein “Uncle Vanya”. Gloria Ploepst and^’t‘Rgy O’Neil are newcomers in theeast, while the others are DA vet¬erans.•■Vtwater w’as in the first workshopplay “Ghosts” and appeared in theSpring Revival and Mirror. Cohn wasCastor Manders in “Ghosts” and ap¬peared in- Mirror. Marian Castlemanis making her second start of theyear; her first was Olivia in “Night.Must Fall”. She also was the directorof last year’s Workshop performanceof “The Doctor In Spite of Himself”.Schloss, a freshman, was Sam Fein-schreiber in the recent production ofOdets’ “Awake and Sing”.Tchekhov’s drama will be presentedin the Reynolds Club Theatre and isscheduled for a three night run. Coming out of the temporarybreathing spell which followed theirefforts over Victory Vanities, Skulland Crescent met yesterday in Man-del to lay the groundwork for theirannual Winter Quarter dance.President Dink McLellan definitely.stated that Bob Savage and his or¬chestra had been chosen to play forthe affair. This orchestra, McLellansaid in identifying it, has worked theNorthwestern campus for fraternityand sorority dances.Corsage or No?Not yet decided was the matter ofwhether the tradition of having acorsageless formal should be followed.The dance is scheduled for January13 and the sophomore organizationhopes to capitalize on the generalspirit of frivolity that follows fra¬ternity pledging, which occurs thenight previous.In competiton to this date is theDke Ball. Though a closed party, themajor share of glamour for that par¬ticular evening would be centered onthe Greek function. McLellan said itwas impossible to move the day ofthe dance. Available space other thanthe 13th cannot be found on theDean’s registration bulletin.Donnion JoinsIf the idea of a corsageless formalis supplanted, the most applicablealternative is that of a stunt dance.The organization desired, the presi¬dent added, that something morespecial than merely another event ofthe Social “C” Book type is neces-With this infoimation came thenews of Armon Donnion’s beingchosen to represent Phi Gamma Delt.Aside from playing freshman foot¬ball and being on the championshipintramural touchball team, he hasbeen putting in time on the Maroonas a sports writer.When Skull and Crescent selectionswere made last spring, it was doneof each house nominated the two menthey thought best suited. The fra¬ternities, by way of qualification, hadto have at least 35 actives. Phi Gammet that requirement but failed tosubmit any names. Seniors ChooseClass Council;12 CandidatesThough student interest has failedto rise to the lure of another selection,the Senior Class Council will bechosen today and tomorrow from agroup of twelve select seniors, someof whom think that a Council is super¬fluous for the Senior Class.The balloting will be today and to¬morrow in Mandel Corridor, from 10to 12 in the morning and from 2 to 3in the afternoon. The candidates forthe responsibility of leading the Sen¬ior Class in any organized activitiesit may undertake are Jim Anderson,Bob Bigelow, Ruth Brody, JohnnyCulp, Janet Geiger, Thelma Iselman,Frederick Linden, David Martin, Jer¬ry Moberg, Russ Parsons, Chuck Pfeif¬fer, and Bob Reynolds.Eligibility ListSeniors have been certified by aneligibility list. They will be allowed tovote for five people. The three menand the three women who get themost votes are to be placed in theorder of the total votes each one gets,and the one with the least of the sixwill be dropped. The other five willform the council, whose main dutywill be to run the Fandango to raisemoney for the Senior EndowmentFund, established by the class of ’39.There has been some objection tothe scheme of having selection fromthe six leading candidates, since thereare only three women running for theCouncil, as compared with nine men.This would make it certain that atleast two of the three women runningwould get in, while it would be im¬possible for more than three of thenine men to become Council members.Comment on CouncilOne attitude expressed by the nom¬inees for the position is exemplified inthe statements of Pfeiffer, head of theorganization Committee for the Coun¬cil, and Ruth Brody who said, “ACouncil -in unnecessary, but sincethere is to be one, it should be com¬posed of people with publicity ideasand with some sort of experience.”Dean Smith, original sponsor of theidea, said that the fact that of thenominees, seven were Aides and Mar¬shals, was to be‘expected, since theywere chosen partly on the basis oftheir “representativeness.” His impli¬cation was that an election was never¬theless necessary to keep the recordstraight on the fact that the SeniorClass Council was a body chosen bythe Senior Class itself.List of CandidatesThe candidates and their qualifica-(Continued on page six)Tradition of Student Actions CanKeep Democracy Alive—DaichesPeace Council HearsIndustrial UnionistHerbert March, a member of thePacking House Workers OrganizingCommittee, will address the bi-weeklyThursday discussion group of thePeace Council on “An Industrial Un¬ionist Looks at the War.” Attackedhy the Dies Committee as a Commu¬nist he is one of the men that par¬ticipated in the recent successful Ar¬mour election. The meeting will beheld Thursday at 3:30 in Eckhart 202 Of the three speakers at the Amer¬ican Student Union meeting yester¬day afternoon, David Daiches, instruc¬tor in English, was most outspoken infulfilling the pledge of chairman Sid¬ney Lipshires that the meeting wouldrefute recent criticism of student ac¬tion groups. He spoke on “The Stu¬dent Movement Abroad.”Whatever the role of students, fromthe middle ages until the 20th century,it has always been an active one, andit has also been political, Daichessaid, in outlining the development ofstudent activity abroad. British andEuropean academic theory has alwaysbeen that students, because they pos¬sess at least a certain amount of the¬oretical knowledge, are among thefirst groups which should take politi¬cal action. Although in form it hasundergone many changes, the tradi¬tion of student action has never beenchallenged.“Democracy will not be dead,”Daiches concluded, “so long as thetradition of student action survives.Perhaps for this reason, students areamong the first to feel pressure froma reactionary government.”Mentioning specifically the tuitioncharges and student employment andHillel SeminarDavid Solomon, graduate Sociologystudent, will lead the second Hilleldiscussion group which will meet inIda Noyes Hall on Thursday at 4:15.“Jewish Institutional DevelopmentSince the French Revolution” will bethe subject of the seminar. Solomon,a Canadian, is a graduate of McGillUniversity. housing problems, Harry Hoijer, in¬structor in anthropology, expressedthe hope that the ASU, by concertedaction with progressive opinion on thefaculty, might effect needed reforms,and in doing so bring about closer co¬operation between students and thefaculty.Following him, Paul Diederich, ofthe Progressive Education Associa¬tion, and a member of the AmericanFederation of Teachers, spoke on“The Student Movement in Relationto the Labor Movement.”(Continued on page five)Better Grid TeamNext Year—^Hutch’Chicago’s football team is goingto be better next year! How do weknow? Because President RobertMaynard Hutchins told the In¬dianapolis Star so last Friday.Hutchins, who was in Indiana¬polis over the Thanksgiving holidayto discuss with the national leadersof the American Legion, the dispo¬sition of some scholarships whichare to fall heir to sons ahd daugh¬ters of Legionnaires and 4-H Clublads and lassies, said that he hadhopes that Chicago would turn outa better team next fall.He seemed fairly optimistic overChicago’s chances for improve¬ment, said the Star.Oh, well, what if it doesn’t soundlike a Hutchins’ statement? TheIndianapolis Star was never one todistort facts. And strange men aresaying strange things these days. Gridmen Meet AtFootball BanquetJOHN CHAPMANStudent OperaHour BoardTo Be FormedIn view of the success of the 1939Opera Hour Series, Hans 0. Hoeppnerintends to make it an annual affair.A students’ opera board will be formedwhich, together with the continuedco-operation of Mr. Talley, Mrs. Mac¬millan, the Reynolds Club, and MissMarshall, manager of the Commons,gives promise of maintaining highstandard of past Opera Hours.Kiepura and GianniniAt the final presentation of the 1939Opera Hour series, Mrs. James G.Macmillan, president of the IllinoisOpera Guild, presented two of thegreatest stars of the Metropolitan andthe Chicago City Opera Company, JanKiepura and Dussolini Giannini.Kiepura, the Polish-born tenor whohas appeared in motion pictures aswell as in every great opera companyin the world, expressed his apprecia¬tion of the spirit of democracy whichprevails in the United States. Therecent developments in his homelandhave imbued in him a deep admirationfor America and Americans.Giannini Likes HourMiss Giannini, who is American bybirth and who made her debut in NewYork City, received a very favorableimpression of the work carried on bythe Opera Hour and expressed herwish that it might continue to instillin the students an appreciation andunderstanding of opera. She said thatshe believed American audiences werebeginning to realize that it is possibleto find American artists.Howard Talley presented a reviewof Wagner’s opera “Die Walkure.”The resume, though brief, broughtforth all of the major characteristicsof Wagnerian opera and presented theessentials which are necessary to itsI understanding.IIFather of GradsGives UniversityScholarship FundA Thanksgiving Day gift in the! form of a $7,500 endowment for aI scholarship came to the UniversityI from Dr. Henry R. Boettcher, a Chi-j cago eye and ear specialist.The endowment, interest on whichi will amount to enough to pay full tui¬tion for a deserving student, was givenby Dr. Boettcher in memory of hiswife, Olga Krohmer Boettcher. Thescholarship will bear her name.Graduate of UniversityDr. Boettcher, who has been prac¬ticing in Chicago since the ’90’s, is' a trustee and director of Englewoodj Hospital. He was formerly surgeonto the Illinois Charitable Eye and Earj Infirmary, surgeon at EnglewoodHospital, examining surgeon of theRu.sh Medical College eye department,and eye surgeon of the Wabash Rail-I road.j* To the fact that both his son, HenryI F., and his daughter, Catherine, werej graduated from the University, can be' attributed his loyalty to Chicago.

Marian Oastleman, Ernest LeiserNight Editor: Bill HonklaAssistant: Betty Van LiewFor Decades and CenturiesOver 1500 alumni will receive copies of to-,.day’s Maroon. All these alumni may well beproud; they are graduates of one of the great¬est schools in the country. The fame of theUniversity of Chicago comes solely from itsintellectual activity, Of all the large collegesin the country, this University is one of thefew that can maintain its proud reputation onthe basis of work done in its classrooms, lab¬oratories, and libraries. It does not need todefend its honor on the football field.Nor can its performance on the footballfield ever dishonor such a school. Even thedaily newspapers, having by this time nearlyrun out of their supply of jokes at the expenseof OUT team, have conie to realize this. Theyare beginning to admire the courage of theUniversity in daring to be a true educationalinstitution: thfey are beginning to admire the^iportsmanship of a, few young men who play^ football against such great odds merely forlove of the game.Certainly the existence of this school is anactive monument to the hope for mankind. Itis dedicated above all other things to the be¬lief that man can be a rational animal; thatsemeday there may be higher uses fur the hu¬man intellect than the shrewdness necessaryfor survival, the information requisite for get¬ting a job, or the business efficiency which en¬ables men to be good money-makers. Beyondall these things, mere means which in them¬selves are insufficient ever to make men eithergood or happy, the University serves ideals ofthat good life which is attainable only by hu¬man and rational. beings.Sometimes when people hear the sentimentsexpressed in the preceding paragraph theylaugh at them for being empty, trite, and sen¬timental. Undergraduates, who consider howthey spend a good part of their time aroundhere, might leer knowingly; alumni, remem¬bering their own undergraduate days, mightwell wonder. But \yhile this University is notyet any community of scholars whole-heartedlypursuing the truth, it at least has ideals ofbecoming such a place. And it has great poten¬tialities for realizing its ideals, great facilitiesfor letting men .develop their minds, great tra¬ditions of men who have done so.This is moi*e than other large coeducationalinstitutions can boast. More than any otherschool in the country the University of Chi¬cago is recognized as a leader in intellectualpursuits. Now' that the reason of the rest ofthe world is being upset by forces of irration¬ality and prejudiced wickedness there is moreneed than ever before that the University beable to carry on its real w'ork. If the hope ofgood life for man is ever to be more than wish¬ful thinking this school must move on tow’ardsits ideal. Only when it fails to do so need itsalumni stop being proud of it. There are al¬ready so many other schools where studentsmay celebrate the completion of their four-year terms with Bachelor’s degree; there areso manypther places with good football teams.But the Univer.sity finds its unique position asa leader menaced by a financial deficit.For all its emphasis on the intellectual life,this school is not trying to turn out a long¬haired intelligentsia. It carries on a full pro¬gram of extra-curricular activities, includingsport.^ Among these, and, like the others sub¬ordinate to studies, is football. Experience ofthe past two seasons has shown that it is im¬possible for our teams, under present condi¬tions, to compete creditably with other schoolswhere the emphasis on tc^tball is gres^ter.

There are many libraries atthe University, but there are very few' fit for the “rightpeople.”Mo.st,exclusive library is cheerful Eekhart inhabitedby decrepit mathematics students and all the nice Mor¬tar Boards and Sigmas. Best feature of this littlelibrary is the nice quiet librarian and special p.rivateboorths for those who want to be alone hut who some¬times are not very'much alone at all. People like PsiU Dick Saizmann come there to see their dollies. Nieepeople like Clarabel Grossman and Dorothy Wendrickchat cheerily. A librarical Utopia.♦. .*■ -mMost people, however, cannot stand the terrific po¬grom that goes on in Eekhart and carry their whiteflag to Harper Library. Harper is most famous forthe girls that joggle up and down the center aisle.Scalpers get high prices for aisle seats. The librarianhere too is nice and quiet and never tells you to shutup very often. At 3:30 and 5:30 every day (exceptSaturday) there is a floor ehow. Try to make the 5:30one. Those Chez Paree .\dorables trucking down thecenter lane are really good stuff.♦' * wThe next Iffirary, Classics, is beginning to get veryswell people. Qtiadranglers inhabit it like anything.The KuhJS, Doris Alt, and sometimes even Harriet Lind¬say sit there.

Invite you tospeak at the University of Chicago onany convenient date. We feel such ameeting will be greatest demonstra¬tion for civil liberties in history ofcampus movement here.”This was the telegram, signed byLorraine Lewis as president of theUniversity Communist Club, whichthat organization recently sent to EarlBrowder, general secretary of theCommunist Party of the UnitedStates. The club has as yet made noarrangements with University au¬thorities concerning the place forsuch a meeting.Jim Peterson Explains“The telegram,” said Jim Peterson,speaking for the club, “is our answerto the Harvard authorities, who re¬fused to let Browder speak on theircampus on the grounds that it was‘not in good taste’, and to the headsof Dartmouth University, who feltthat his presence would be ‘incompat¬ible with the aims of the University’.Since Browder represents the greatestpeace force in America today, theserefusals can only be construed, w'efeel, as a direct move on the part ofthe war mongers of the nation.“It appears that Yale University,because of demands on the part ofstudents and faculty members there,will permit him to speak on the cam¬pus. W'e hope that our Universitywill join Yale in upholding the tradi¬tions of American freedom, and ourinvitation is also a test of the liberal¬ity of the University of Chicago. Notime is more pertinent than the pres¬ent to divide the sheep from the goats,and discover who really stands forcivil liberties, and who is merely mas¬querading in liberal garb.”Gottschalk GivesEighth Law LectureFor those interested in French 19thcentury society, and particularly inthe relation of its laws to the rest ofthe social structure, Louis R.

We sincerely trust thatthese pages will remind you of yourundergraduate days at the University,of the times when you, and not uswere making the news to fill thesecolumns.Several weeks ago, the Daily Ma¬roon both through its editorial pagesand through this column analyzed thefootball situation and asked that thealumni give the problem its due con¬sideration. We attempted to showthat the University of Chicago wasone of the outstanding, if not the out¬standing, educational institutions inthe counti-y. W^e attempted to showthat with this argument as their bestselling point, the alumni could co¬operate by selling the school to su¬perior students and to individuals whoexcel in scholarship, athletics, andextra-curricular activities.* * ♦You, the graduates of this institu¬tion, are aware of the education of¬fered at the University and of theopportunities open to prospective col¬legians. You are pi’obably aware ofthe fact that the University has pro¬vided excellent facilities for the phys¬ical development of its students andthat its physical education instructorscomprise a group that is second tonone.We, the students of the University,believe that the training of the intel¬lect is still of prime importance andis the reason for our being at Chicago.However, many of us, strange to say,enjoy a good football game and arenot content to see Chicago become atoy for other schools, a set-up for ourmore celebrated rivals.A recent poll among the studentsrevealed that by far the majority weredissatisfied with the present footballsituation. The majority even went sofar as to suggest subsidization provid¬ing it did not lower the scholastic re¬quirements of the University.if ifTherefore, we turn to you, thealumni, in our hour of need. Certain¬ly you, as much as us, do not enjoyturning to your Sunday paper to readthe amusing account of Chicago’s lat¬est massacre. True, football in thefinal analysis is merely a game and inthe end none of us will die whetherwe win or lose, but wouldn’t it be niceto have a good team if we are goingto have a team?Here is our solution—you, thealumni probably remember your un¬dergraduate days at the University.You probably remember the benefitsto be derived at this institution inpreference to any other university.We trust that you will pass this in¬formation on to prospective fresh¬men—to students who are seeking thebest college education that they canderive—to students who during theirhigh school days have proven theirworth in athletics and in scholarship.We believe that there are numerousindividuals who have risen to gloryon the gridiron or on other fields ofathletic endeavor and who at the sametime have not faltered in scholarship.We believe that high scholarshipand a high athletic rating are com¬patible and that such students canand should be attracted to this Uni¬versity. We believe that you, the a-lumni, frequently come in contactwith such individuals. We believethat you would be doing both themand the University a favor if youcould sell the University of Chicagoto these students.We honestly believe that Chicagocan once again make a name for it¬self on the gridiron—without lower¬ing its scholastic standards. We askfor your support. ’ Two Wins ResultOf Season’s EffortTrack-Meet Scores ArouseComment ThroughoutCountry.With the exception of a 12-2 winover the Little Giants of Wabash anda 25-0 track meet triumph againstOberlin’s Yeomen, the Mai’oon foot¬ball season is one that in the Univer¬sity’s best interests should be forgot- ]ten as soon as possible.The season opened with an evenmore menacing thud than usual whenBeloit came down from the wilds witha surprisingly well balanced attackcoupled with vicious tackling and willto win—they did, 6-0, and so usheredin the most disastrous football cam¬paign in Chicago history.Next came the Wabash game, butin spite of the fact that the Midway-men managed to hand their Indianarivals a 12-2 beating, the game as awhole was unimpressive; Co-captainsDavenport and Wasem, aided by LouLetts did the lion’s share of the work,both offensively and defensively.Following the Wabash victory camethe three “slaughters of the inno¬cents” which made headlines the coun¬try over. Harvard, a team which hasbeen only fair this season, wallopedCoach Clark Shaughnessy’s chargesunmercifully to the tune of 61-0.Michigan added insult to injury withan 85-0 holocaust which did muchtoward making Terrible Tommy Har¬mon a contender for all-Americanlaurels. Then, when many thought theworst was over, Virginia slid all overVersatile MenLead Grid TeamChicago’s 1939 gridiron outfit in¬cluded three men who are captainsof other major sports. Johnny Daven¬port, in addition to being co-captainof the football team with Bob Wasem,is captain-elect of the track team.Dick Lounsbury, captain of the bas¬ketball team, was recruited for foot¬ball in midseason, and Smokey JoeStearns, reserve tackle, is slated tolead the water polo team, along withJack Bernhardt.Davenport has received four major“C’s”, two for football and two fortrack. In his sophomore year, he wasConference dash champion but lastyear he was unable to do better thanfifth. He has been a great asset toChicago football, largely because ofhis speed.Bob Wasem has been an outstand¬ing gridder ever since he has beenat the University. Last year he wasa constant scoring threat at end, butthis year he was a marked man; sohe was moved to half back in hopethat he might elude the opposing passdefenses.Dick Lounsbury, although he hasnot played football since his highschool days, used his height to greatadvantage on the gridiron this season.As a cage star he ranked tenth inConference scoring his sophomoreyear and fourteenth last year.Like Training Table,Say Maroon PlayersOne of the most radical innovationsin Big Ten football this season is theintroduction of a training table for theevening meal. There were reports thatthe coaching staff had used the tableas a bludgeon over the heads of theChicago players, but a poll of playeropinion showed that the Maroongridders were very much in favor ofthe new development and that theyconsidered it a stimulus rather thana threat.Almost without exception, themeals were excellent according to theplayers, and, best of all, they wereallowed to eat as much as they wantedto. the hapless Maroons in the mud andsleet of Charlottesville for a 47-0 de¬bauch.Just when the Chicago playei’s werebeginning to think they were about aspoor as any team in the country,along came Oberlin, who took it on thechin from the Midwaymen 25-0. Manyof the Maroon regulars played onlyhalf the game, for the coaching staffdid not want to take any chances oninjuries with the Illinois game only aweek off.After Illinois had rolled up 46 pointsin the season finale while holding Chi¬cago scoi’eless, one of our players re¬marked, “Well, I guess it’s betterover; we just didn’t have the goodsthis year.” Agreed.I-M ProgramActive Since1924 StartStagg Appointed Dr. Mo-lander Original IM Fac¬ulty Manager.Oi’ganized competition in intra¬mural athletics came to the Univer¬sity of Chicago in 4924 as part ofa widespread movement of progres¬sive universities to enable the averagestudent to take an active part in ath¬letics.Dr. C. 0. Molander, physician ofthe varsity teams at that time, hadideas much in harmony with ElmerD. Mitchell of Michigan who is con¬sidered founder of the intramuralmovement and was consequently ap¬pointed intramural chief by A. A.Stagg. Molander set up his staff asa campus activity with student mana¬gers similar to today’s organization.Kimball Valentine of Kappa Sigmawas the first student chairman of in-tramui'als.The first competition held under thenew regime was basketball, whichwas won by Alpha Tau Omega in thewinter of 1924. Softball, touchball,and swimming were also held thatyear; track and wrestling were addedthe following year.Point SystemIn the 1924-25 school year the Or¬ganization Point System was estab¬lished giving points for participationand excellence in the various sports.Trophies are awarded to the winnersin major sports and to the first andsecond place teams in the final pointtotal.Recent trends in intramurals indi¬cate that participation has fallen off.There are two reasons for this: first,the establishment of deferred rush¬ing in the fraternities and their sub¬sequent disappearance due to this fi¬nancial millstone. Twelve years agothere were 32 fraternities on campus;today there are 15. Due to this de¬crease it has become increasinglyhard to get men organized for com¬petition. The second reason for thisfalling off of participation is the abo¬lition of compulsory gym. In thepast, two years of gym were requiredand many men who would not ordi¬narily compete in intramurals were at¬tracted through their gym work.Wally Hebert, present intramuralFaculty Manager, replaced Molanderin 1932.The University Intramural Cham¬pions from 1925 to 1939 are listedbelow:1925—Delta Sigma Phi1926—Delta Sigma Phi1927—Delta Upsilon1928—Delta Upsilon1929—Macs (independent)1930—Phi Delta Theta1931—Phi Delta Theta1932—Phi Beta Delta1933—Phi Beta Delta1934—Phi Beta Delta1935—Phi Kappa Psi1936—Psi Upsilon1937—Psi Upsilon1938—Psi Upsilon—Alpha Delta Phi (tie)1939—Apha Delta Phi Cuhs Are FineBut Shag Fears^^Fatalities^’By LES DEANAfter looking over the freshmanroster for this season, Coach ClarkShaughnessy feels much encourage<lregarding the prospects for the var¬sity next year. “These freshmen arefar better than we’ve had since I’vebeen here,” he remarke<l yesterday.“They’re bigger, tougher, more ex¬perienced, and above all, there aremore of them,” he added.Because of bitter experience in thepast, Shaughnessy is very apprehen¬sive about the academic fatalities,which he fears may wreak havoc withthe 1940 Maroons. When he camehere seven years ago. Jay Berwangerwas a sophomore; Jay’s clas.smateshad been hailed by the press as “thegreatest freshman team in 41 years.”Very few of them ever played varsityball, however, and Berwanger was theonly one who was a real star. “Ijust walked down the street from theI F'ieldhouse to Bartlett the other dayClark Shaughnessy. . . Head Coach siruc 1932and counttnl eight or ten ineligibleswho would have been invaluable tous this year,” bemoaned the coach.“Boy how we needed them,” he con¬cluded.Shaughnessy and the members ofthe Fieldhouse coaching staff all feelthat there are some real football play¬ers among the frosh candidates. Aproof of the ability of the cubs, thecoach .stak'd that this year is the firsttime in his experience as a coach thathe has had a yearling team that wasa match for the varsity.The coach feels that the since quanon of a respectable football teamis SPRING PRACTICE. “Unless wehave our fundamentals and whole of¬fensive scheme thoroughly workedout in the Spring, we cannot hope tohave a successful football team,” heexplained.Varsity CoachesFinish SeventhMidtvay SeasonChicago’s varsity coaching staff,under Coach Clark D. Shaughnessy,has just completed its seventh yearon the Midway. Because of inadequatematerial Shaughnessy’s regime hashas not been particularly successful,losing 33 games, while winning but1 12.I From 1915 until 1926 ShaughnessyI was director of athletics and headfootball coach at Tulane University,New Orleans, where his teams won58 games, lost 27, and tied six. From1927 through 1932 he was head foot¬ball coach at Loyola University, inNew Orleans, winning 38 games, los¬ing 16, and tying two.Herbert Blumer, an all-Americantackle at the University of Missouri,played all-star professional ball withthe Chicago Cardinals.Most seasoned veteran on the staffis J. Kyle Anderson, who has been aChicago coach for 11 years. He wasa half-back and captain of the 1928baseball team at Chicago. Ewald Ny-quist moves up this year to backfieldcoach while Paul Derr is the sole new¬comer to the staff. • Letters to theEditor{Editor'n note—Chicago’s footballscores have inspired interested imii-vuiuals to contact the Daily Maroon.B> hereby submit for your consider-atation tivo examples of such corres¬pondence.)Dear Sir:I have been reading in the paper ofyour University’s football plight. 1would like to offer myself as a schol¬arship applicant.I have played four years of varsityfootball at a New Jersey high schocjduring which time we won the NowJersey Group 2 championship.

L.Sports EditorDaily MaroonUniversity <if C'hicagoDear Sir,By the AP and INS, I see that theUniversity of Chicago football teamis reported in yrur paper as “a jokein the eyes of the .Xinerican peopleand a sore spot to the alumni.”The first half of the statement i.<semi-true, the latter part amounts toennui. You may snore in comfort onthe belief that if the alumni is discon¬tented with present Chicago footballthe Maroons are destined for victo¬rious Saturdays. Like the D.A.R..Hearst papers and lobby steamrol¬lers, the alumni usually manages to“reform.” An indignant alumni sim¬plifies the work of a chauvinisticsports editorialist.Fortunately for Chicago, the Ma¬roon athletic system has 'oeen accord¬ed nation-wide publicity. We of thehinterlands know that Chicago has aclub made up of 25 guys who like toplay football, that Chicago has no ef¬ficient recruiting office, that for theopposition Chicago is not a breatherbut a sigh. Nevertheless, I plead thatyou maintiiin the present system. Chi¬cago amateurism indicates that itcannot cope with Rig Tenism. RutChicago is in the right, for football,whether the public thinks so or not,is incidental to education. Michigan’-85-0 power shows that Michigan ap¬parently is professionalized.I wonder if Chicago political sci¬ence students could defeat Michiganpolitical science students in an exam¬ination by a score similar to 85-0.Chicago should continue to place a-field simon-pure outfits. Then thepeople will realize the high extent towhich college football is commerial-ly organized.After having watched collegianssuffer broken jaws, teeth, fingers,arms and legs for six years, I am con¬vinced football players in the pigskinindustrial schools should be ClOed.Football is student entertainment.When Benny Goodman hits the cam¬pus, he and his men are paid for en¬tertaining the students. The sameshould apply to football players—inthe professionalized schools. Theyought to get room, board, books,laundry and a minimum wage of $25a week, including the off season. Ifthey bring 40,000 gates on Saturdaythey should profit from their attrac¬tiveness.But if a school wants a team justfor grid expression, like your Chicagocrew, that’s fine, school-spirited fun.Chicago’s glory may be discoveredin common public reaction. Univer¬sity of Chicago? Oh, yes, they have agood school. Purmichwestern? Oh,yes, they have a good football team.Stay with ’em, boy!George Kerler,Sports Department,Lexington (Ky.) Leader.THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 29, 1939 Page FiveUnderclassmen White Hope of ChicagoSportShortsBy BOB LAWSONAlumni who hang their heads inshame when Chicago athletics arementioned will have more than onechance to crow before the school yearis completed. Now that football hasglumly retired to the sidelines for an¬other long rest, so-called minor sportstake over and promise much betterresults than the ill-fated grid teamcould offer.* * *The team which will probably leadthe way will be the fencing team..\lthough Alex George is captain, topman is Loyal Tingley. Last year hewon both the national and the mid¬west titles in epee. He is rapidly hit¬ting mid-season form and should bein for a banner performance this year.Although three of the six major let¬ter-winners of last year’s conferencechampionship team have graduatedand Jim Corbett, a fourth, has beenlost through illness, there are stillenough good men returning to neces¬sitate Coach Hermanson dividing thesquad into two teams of nine meneach.Although the best half of the ten¬nis team was lost by graduation, Chi¬cago will bo hot on the trail of theirthird straight Big Ten gonfalon. Com¬petition will be much closer this yearthan in most, with Northwestern,Michigan, Illinois, and Chicago fight¬ing it out.The loss of the Murphys and JohnnyKritenstein deprived Coach Herbertof his Number 1, 2, and 6 men. CharlieShostrom, Art Jorgenson, and JimAtkins, .3, 4, and 6 men respectivelyof last year, are the outstanding can¬didates for the top spots on this year’steam along with Cal Sawyier, top-notch soph. In winning the title lastyear, the Maroons .swept all theflights except the Number 2 whereRill Murphy had to default in the .sec¬ond round due to a back injury.Shostrom and Jorgenson, who areco-captains, will probably win thedoubles championship this year. Theywere the Number 2 team last yearand really looked good, although theywere overshadowed by the Murphytwins.The 5 and 6 slots are still very wideopen, however, and there will be muchcompetition among the members oflast year’s “B” team and two goodsophomore prospects, Don Brown andStan Levy, to win these spots.Headed by co-captains Joe Stearnsand Jack Bernhardt, the water poloteam is another good bet to raise Chi¬cago’s athletic standard.The boys are eyeing their fourthconsecutive championship, keeping inmind the fact that the team has neverfinished lower than second in 16 yearsof competition in the Big Ten.The only drawback to a good seasonis the attitude of the b6ys. They stillhave rough edges which need to besmoothed off before they are going towin any championships but theyaien’t working as hard as they needto. Coach MacGillivray recognizedthis about two weeks ago and re¬stricted freshman practice to one daya week in order to concentrate on thevarsity.' Possible highlight of the seasonwill be the tentative game scheduledwith Texas A. and M. whom the Ma¬roons defeated last year to win theNational Junior A.A.U. title at SaintLouis.Another team which has helpedbuild up Chicago’s enviable record ofhaving won more conference cham¬pionships in the last 10 years than anyschool Minnesota is the gymnasticsteam.’Coached by Dan Hoffer, Maroongymnastics squads have had such re¬peated success that there are now on¬ly three other teams in the confer- Maroons FineBunch of Boys—ShaughnessyAs far as the victory column went,this season on the gridiron must bemarked down as a failure. On theother hand, Coach Shaughnessy hasfelt all along that his squad’s moralewas excellent. “I never worked witha finer bunch of boys,” he remarked,‘"rhey’re not good football players,but they certainly have a whale of alot of spirit. It takes an awful lot ofguts to go out there against powerfulteams like Michigan and Ohio State.”Dave Wiedemann, who was countedon to be a bulwark in the Maroonforward wall this year, was put outof commission for the season rightafter the Beloit game, in which, toquote Coach Shaughnessy, “He playedthe best game of his life.” Wiede¬mann will be back next season, how¬ever. All along the Chicago line wasweak, and a good tackle would havehelped immeasurably.In the eyes of the varsity playersand coaches, frosh Coach Vin Sahlinhas been one of the most amusingcharacters in or around the Field-house. His faith in his freshmenseems almost fanatical to them. Onthe other hand, they are smart enoughto realize that Sahlin has a way ofbacking up what he says; so theycan’t help wondering whether thefreshman team could have beatenthem.

Whetheror not the team will function well asa unit is a matter that time andconstant practice will decide.The material is present for a goodteam. Coach Norgren makes no prom¬ises or predictions about the resultsof this basketball season, but thereare no eligibility problems amongsquad members, and height, whichcounts greatly in basketball, is pres¬ent in abundance.

Survey RevealsCampus ViewsAbout FootballThe recent survey, conducted byPulse, student magazine, has shownthat a 9-1 majority of students inth^ University want a change in thefootball conditions, which will leadto bigger and better Chicago teams.The student spirit has been builtup by the recent series of defeats theMaroon team has suffered. As shownby the survey, the students are clam¬oring for a form of subsidization thatwill include only those players whoare scholastically admissable to theUniversity.Significantly, a suggestion that theMaroon schedule should include onlysmall schools or non-subsidized teamswas turned down by a 7-1 margin,while the question ‘Do you believeChicago should discontinue footballas an intercollegiate sport?’ wassnowed under by a 10-1 landslide.The student body is overwhelminglyin favor of supporting a subsidizedfootball team, composed of playerswho are scholastically acceptable tothe University, which will put theUniversity of Chicago back into itsproper position in the Big Ten. Four Teams Formed fromSquad; Varsity RivalryIntense.ASU-(Continued from page one)“The labor movement is almost theonly force in the country today,” hesaid, “which is working to bring aboutreal economic democracy. With one-third of the nation’s unemployed un¬der 26 years of age, according to fig¬ures released by the American YouthCommission, student interest in laborproblems has every reason to be morethan academic.” Unquestionably the freshman foot¬ball squad is the white hope of Chica¬go rooters; not only is the squad thelargest in several seasons, but thecoaches report that it shows moreability than any yearling outfit sinceJay Berwanger’s day.Frosh coaches Vin Sahlin and JayBerwanger even went so far as toboast that there were four cub teamsthat could whip the Varsity. Immedi¬ately there was a hue and cry for agame between the frosh and the firststringers, but he athletic departmentheads stepped in and prevented thetilt on the ground that there was al¬ready too much rivalry between thetwo squads.Split SquadInstead the unwieldy freshmansquad was split up into four units, theblues, the scarlets, the wh tes, and themaroons. Thus more individual coach¬ing was possible. The early part ofthe frosh season was spent in drillingon fundamentals, for there has been acomplaint in past years that the cubsdid not get enough blocking and tack¬ling practice.After this early work on condition¬ing and the elements of the game hadbeen done, the squad was narroweddown to two squads, the scarlets andthe blues, who subsequently playedtwo games, each team winning one.These games were conspicuous forthe fine defensive play on the part ofboth teams; the score in the first en¬counter was 14-12 in favor of theblues, while the second resulted in a13-8 victory for the scarlets. All butone of the four touchdowns were madeon long runs or passes.Fine Backfields *Both teams had an abundance offine backfield material—the scarletswere represented by such stars as BobStenberg, Art Moynihan, and Ed Hel¬ler, while the blues banked on playerslike Benny Labuda, Adam Kosacz,George Basich, and Pete Nicola.There were stellar linemen a-plentyalso. Some of the most outstandingwere Karl Guttler, “Red” Moller, andBob Weinberg of the scarlets, whowere pitted against stalwarts such asChuck Boyd, Nick Parisi, and BillOostenbrug of the blues.George Drake was another lineluminary, but a bad ankle kept himfrom playing in the second of the twogames. Bob Dodd, who received hon¬orable mention for all-state laurels inNebraska would also have been a val¬uable asset to the squad, but he cameout late and so was not in top shapefor either tilt. Others to receive thecoaches’ praise were Jim Cutshaw, LinLeach, Rex Thompson, Bob Dolan,Harlan Naas, and Bob Mustain.MAROON 1939 LINEUP-Prep School; Home Town..Crane; Chicago..Morton; Cicero, Ill...Hyde Park; Chicago..

R. BUCKINGHAM 'When Hitler blew the whistle Oc¬tober 1 for the boys to stop shootinghot telegrams at Paris and Londonand substitute hot lead, it was timefor Uncle Sam to drop the copy ofInternational Law he had been carry¬ing in one hand and the AmericanFlag he had in the other, and run forthe nearest bomb shelter.Because when those babies in Eu¬rope go to war, they usually meanbusiness. They are out to win, byhook or crook, and quite often it isthe latter. Observing the rights of aneutral country is not in their rulebook when the going gets tough,especially if the so called “neutral” isdoing everything short of war to helpthe enemy.♦ * •The United States is finding itselfbecoming entangled tighter and tight- ler in the meshes of the European war. jAnd a “holier than thou” attitudeisn’t going to keep us out if Germanyworks herself into believing that herstrangulation and the Allies’ robusthealth is due in a large measure toAmerican one-sided neutrality.We are going to have to be able totalk the same language as Hitler ifwe plan to keep aloof. And that mustbe in the terms of “blitz krieg”, whichboils down to airplanes.* * *It is conceivable that the Nazismight think twice before provokingthe anger of a country which had 30,-000 airmen and planes for them tofly, no matter how much economichelp they were giving the enemy. Noone knows better than the Germanshow powerful supremacy of the air is.Their lightning subjugation of Polandproved the point to them.* * *Germany, in the last war, was quitecareless in her relationships with theUnited States. As far as trained ar¬mies went, America was puny,thought the Kaisar. So he pushed usuntil we declared war. But over-zealous to prove that we could putmen in the field sooner than the Ger¬mans expected. Uncle Sam sent manyhalf-trained men who were no matchfor German veterans. But as the sup¬ply continued to arrive, and the cali¬bre of the men climbed, numbers, aswell as economic back-sliding on the IHomefront, began to tell on the Cen¬tral Powers. Finally, they collapsed, Iand the war was over. Many moreYanks, though, than necessary wereleft in French cemeteries—victims oftheir country’s mass production tac¬tics which rushed them onto battlefields before they were ready to go.Even Hitler isn’t mad enough to in¬vite an enemy who has the airstrength that would swing the bal¬ance overwhelmingly into the Allies’favor to the party.Looked on in this light, the CivilAeronautics Authority plan to train15,000 college pilots annually may domore to keeping this country out ofwar than a hundred threatening notesto Berlin.In addition to being a powerfulpeace factor during this gun powder-fogged period of world history, theCAA-sponsored course has an import¬ant object as a further “end.” That isstimulating an impetus for increasedair-consciousness over the country.It is not beyond the realm of imag¬ination to see the thousands of stu¬dents who will be trained to manipu¬late airplanes spreading the “flyingbug” among their friends until pilot¬ing a plane will be as common asdriving a car. The stepped-up interestin flying will pave the way, it is pos¬sible, to the day long predicted whenno home will be complete without anairplane parked in the back yard.At presnt, the CAA offers a goodchance for students interested inaviation to learn to fly with UncleSam footing most of the bill.
