FEBRUARY 6. 1941 Price Three CentsHutchinsDinnerTonightPresident to Speak "'Off theRecord" to Students.Breaking all precedents, the DailyMaroon has invited all students to theannual Hutchins Dinner tonight at6:30 in the Burton Court dining room.In the past only “student leaders”who were outstanding for work inactivities were invited, but this yearthe affair has been opened to the en¬tire campus. Tickets are being sold byMaroon staff members and at the In¬formation Office at 76c each. Of thisamount 45c may be paid in mealtickets or dorm transfers. Since therewill be room for only 285 people,everyone should get his ticket beforethey are sold out.“Do You Favor...!”As in past years, Mr. Hutchins willanswer questions asked by students.He has usually confined his remarksto subjects relative to education. Thisyear, however, since he has alreadybroken his resolution never to com¬ment on politics, it is possible he mayanswer questions such as “Do youfavor the lend-lease bill?”, “How muchaid should we give Britain,” or “CanAmerica stay democratic if we are anarmed camp against totalitarianstates?”.No ReportersTonight in order to make the presi¬dent’s remarks more spontaneous, hisanswers to questions will be “off therecord.” No newspapers will carrynews items relative to his remarks.Therefore the only way to know whatHutchins will say will be to eat withhim.Cl]Has StudentFaculty MixerOver 150 University members areexpected to fill the library of IdaNoyes Hall this afternoon at thequarterly Student-Faculty Tea ofChapel Union. Students, fortified bytea and cookies, will meet and mixwith their professors from 3:30 un¬til 5:30.

Quiz Kidon the spot tonightFoster Mystery: WhoTook the Pants?She had to go and lose it at Foster.Unlike the song it wasn’t the onlyone she ever had, but a girl hatesto lose something that’s very closeto her.In 1929 a lot of people lost theirshirts, but the girls aren’t only losingtheir shirts, but their pants as well.Little pink pants, fugitives from aLux bath, sizes 32 and 34, are missingfrom some rooms in the dorms.It is very cold out and the girls wishthe underworld would return theirunderwear. Law ReviewFeatures ArticleBy Cyrus EatonThe February issue of the Law Re¬view will come out this week. Thissecond issue has, like the first, per¬formed the unusual feat of coming outon time.Among the main articles of an issuereplete with special features is CyrusS. Eaton’s article “Financial De¬mocracy,” advocating competitive bid¬ding among underwriters for newbond issues. Eaton, a financier inde¬pendent of Wall Street and a Uni¬versity Trustee, is currently engagedin convincing the SEC of the justiceof his plan.Arnold’s Book ReviewedThurman Arnold’s recent book.Bottlenecks in Business, is reviewedin this issue. Henry C. Simons ofour economics department writes “Fora Free Market Liberalism,” supple¬mented by “Bottlenecks” by JamesAngell McLaughlin, of the HarvardLaw faculty. Another dual presenta¬tion, concerning the application ofthe Sherman Anti-Trust Act to laborunions, is shared by David F. Cavers,visiting members of Duke’s faculty,in his “Labor vs. the Sherman Act,”and by Charles O. Douglas of ourfaculty writing “The Sherman Actvs. Labor.” These articles are especial¬ly significant in view of the SupremeCourts’ recent decision in the Hutchin¬son case.Note on Public HousingOther articles include “Consumers’Appeals from Public Service,” “Com¬mission Rate Orders” by T. RichardWitmer of Yale, and “The Contentof Courses in Legislation” by Wiscon¬sin’s Willard Hurst. Among the stu¬dent works represented are a “Noteon Public Housing in Illinois,” and a“Note on the Bertrand Russell Litiga¬tion.” -Publish Daiches'History Of BibleThe University Press has just pub¬lished a history of “The King JamesVersion of the English Bible” byDavid Daiches, instructor in Engli.sh.The book, which is based on Daiches’doctor’s thesis at Oxford, traces thehistory of English Bible translationand examines woi'k of the importantBible translators against the back¬ground of their times. He also in¬cludes a long digression dealing withthe development of Hebrew scholar¬ship in Europe.According to Daiches, translationof the Bible was strongly influenced bytwo forces: the “back to the Bible”movement of the reformers and thedisinterested scholarship which was acharacteristic of the Renaissance. Ofparticular interest to specialistsshould be Daiches’ discussions of thetranslating of Isaiah and of Hebrewscholarship in the Middle Ages andthe Renaissance.Although the material in the bookw'ould ordinarily be rather dry read¬ing, Daiches’ style has a way of arous¬ing interest in some of the most longforgotten translators. Of particularinterest to curious people who like tobrowse in appendixes, should be thecomparison of translations of excerptsName YWCA ArcticCarnival ChairmenPeggy Zimmer and Joan .Augustushave been named co-chaimen of theYWCA Artie Carnival to be held atIda Noyes on St. Valentine’s Day.They will take over the entire two topfloors of the building from 8 to 12,and the price of admission to the par¬ty is a mere ten cents.

Flying Club ProvidesPlanes At Low CostPatty Wolfhope. . . Quadrangler hopeGlamour RaceReaches ClimaxThis AfternoonPatty Wolfhope, Quadrangler, is be¬ing publicized by her club sisters in alast minute bid for support in theMardi Gras contest. Coffee Shop hab¬itues were besieged by placards wornsandwich style yesterday as her followers paraded ior the benefit of theonlookers.A new candidate appeared on thehorizon as the Esoterics, in a lastminute bit of strategy, announced thatClarissa Rahill will run for the muchcoveted southern trip.Dark horse Clarissa is attractive,brown-haired and a great asset toHutchinson Commons where she dailypours the patrons’ second cup of coffee.Esoteric, Henrietta Mahon, won theMaroon Sun Valley contest last year.Rumors of “deals” between clubsand fraternities and last minute coupesare in the air as the end of the contestnears. The deadline is at 4 today.Professional Deontology OfBankerPresentedBy VanBuurenThe professional ethics, or the deon¬tology of the banker comprises threefactors— 1) material satisfaction,2) the moral satisfaction in the de¬veloping of his credit, and 3) the ra¬tional distribution of his credit.Such was the opinion of Dr. D. M.van Buuren of Brussels, Belgium, inpresenting a philosopher’s view of fi¬nance during a public lecture yester¬day in Social Science 122.25 Years ExperienceSaid Mr. van Buuren, who has had26 years of banking experience,“Deontology teaches the banker todisregard the direct and immediate ad¬vantage and it teaches him, instead,to prefer and appreciate the distantand conventional advantages.”He felt that a professional deontol¬ogy raises the morality of the motivesin the professions as well as buildingsolidarity in them and confidence to¬ward them.Mr. van Buuren continued,. “Profes¬sional activities must necessarily re¬peat themselves and the success of theprofessions depends upon the acceler¬ation of the repetition.”Bentham Great ContributorThe banker gave Jeremy Bentham,who is remembered for his famousphrase, “The best government is thatwhich distributes the greatest amountof happiness to the greatest numberof people,” credit for being an out¬standing contributor to w'hat is now present day professional deontology.He pointed out that an importantphase in the moral satisfaction of thebusiness man is in the perfecting ofhis product and the organization ofhis industry.Peace CaravanLeaves TodayConfident that they can help defeatthe much-discussed HR 1776, theLease-Lend bill, 35 students will leavethe University campus this afternoonfor the American Youth Congress.Yesterday, at a meeting where theyoutlined their stand on the bill, they“dedicated themselves” to accomplishwhat they consider the press has failedto do. In their opinion, the YouthCongress will be an important instru¬ment in killing the Lease-Lend billand keeping America out of war. Morethan that, they consider themselvesspokesmen of the majority of campusopinion at the University of Chicago.Drawn from several groups, thesestudents are avowedly acting as indi¬viduals, though the campus PeaceCommittee has “undertaken the taskof recruiting them.” Their sympa¬thizers will be in front of the Uni¬versity bookstore to see them off to iW'ashington at 3:30 this afternoon. Opportunity for Non-Flyersto Travel, Get Instructions.To provide airplanes for CAA stu¬dents and other University flyers at aminimum rental rate, a flying club wasorganized yesterday with the help ofReginald Stevenson and ThorntonPage of the physical science depart¬ment. The club will be patterned aftersimilar organizations at Cambridgeand Oxford.The club, which will have a member¬ship meeting today at 4:30 in Eck-hart, is open to non-flyers too, as theyplan to take students on airplane tripsto points of interest in the middlewest. The flyers themselves will havethe opportunity to rent planes for airpractice at the lowest cost.CAA Instructors to ServeInstructors in the Civil AeronauticAuthority Training course at the Uni¬versity will serve double duty. Theywill continue their work in the flyingcourse and help out with the club.University members who did notqualify physically for the CAA coursewill also get an opportunity to learnto fly through the club. Planes will beat their service and the instructorswill give elementary ground worktraining as well as the actual flying.Other Flying Courses Continue ,In the meantime the regular CAAcourses will be conducted by the Uni¬versity as in the past. These coursesgive training to about 30 students eachquarter and besides teaching them tofly, cover several ground school coursessuch as meteorology, and the lawscovering airplane navigation. The Uni¬versity also holds a special advancedcourse for those who have successfullycompleted their elementary training.Maroon PollsFaculty StandOn HR 1776What is the actual stand of thefaculty on the “lend-lease” bill? Inorder to get as accurate an answerto this question as possible the DailyMaroon is circulating the same ballotused in the recent student war pollamong the faculty.Two groups have already passedpetitions among the faculty, one favor¬ing and the other condemning the bill,and the sentiment expressed so farseems to be about two to one in favorof H. R. 1776. However, only one halfof the faculty have signed either ofthese two petitions and the Maroonbelieves that the present poll will re¬sult in a more accurate appraisal offaculty opinion.In addition to the question of the“lend-lease” bill the faculty will beasked to line up for or against theposition taken by President Hutchinsin his radio talk. They will also bequizzed as to whether they wouldfavor fighting if the territorial pos¬sessions of the United States were at¬tacked, the desirability of declaringwar on the Axis Powers immediately,and the likelihood of the present ad¬ministration leading us into the war.The ballots are being distributedthrough faculty exchange and theresults will be printed in Tuesday’sMaroon.Seven FreshmenJoin Maroon StaffLate last night the Board of Control of the Daily Maroon announce(the affiliation of Helen Pearce, HillariThomas, Bob Dille, Marshal PatullcBeata Mueller, George Binder, an<Joan Whelan.

If nothingelse, they are soothing to our ego, and raisesmall hopes for the influence that our editorialsmight have.But we cannot be satisfied that now PoliticalUnion has attained the stature which it mightachieve as a useful campus organization. Twomore requirements must be met before it canbe as good actually as it is potentially.In the first place, and most immediately im¬portant, the meetings must be made goodenough to attract guests by having distinguish¬ed speakers express their viewpoints on thecontroversial subjects that the Union discusses.By distinguished speakers, we mean not onlyeminent faculty members, but outsiders whohave gained public recognition for their opin¬ions. Men and women of the importance ofBurton Wheeler, Dorothy Thompson or Mrs.Franklin Roosevelt, John Dewey, Sidney Hook,or Adler, to pick a few examples at random,would be able to revitalize Political Union dis¬cussions, and make Union meetings importantevents on campus.Seek New MembersIn the second place; and this is both the endfor which distinguished speakers should be se¬cured, and a means to its own achievement; theUnion should attempt immediately to draw newmembers in, representative of the whole campus.If it is to take advantage of the enthusiasmwhich reorganization always produces, the pres¬ent executives should exert every effort to bringnew blood in. In a short time, unless this is done,the temporary enthusiasm of reorganizationwill have worn off, and the Union will becomestagnant again.We are, indeed, gratified that the Union hasfollowed our suggestions so far. For its owngood, we hope that these additional suggestionswill be considered. If they are not, the reformsalready effected will have been useless.E. S. L.The President SpeaksThose students who perpetually complainthat President Hutchins is remote and un¬available and is unconcerned with student prob¬lems, will have their chance to complain to himin person at the Maroon dinner tonight.The dinner is the President’s own idea. Hewants to know what students think, and he isperfectly willing to have them know what hethinks. Because of the tremendous pressure ofwork which his official position throws on him,he rarely has an opportunity to see them. To¬night he will, and the Maroon invites you tocome and find out what he acts like and talkslike “off the record.”He’ll TalkIn the past, he has restricted himself tocommenting about educational policy. But since he made a very recent address about politics,it is probable that he will be willing to answerany questions that his address might havecaused to be raised.At any rate, the meetings with the Presi¬dent in the past have been amusing and profit¬able. Those students who do want to ’see andtalk to him informally will find the one tonightjust as amusing, and just as profitable.E. S. L.The Traveling BazaarAn Open Letter to the BoardLong now has the campus been reading your dailyfeature of features. The Traveling Bazaar, ala Himmel,Leiser, Smith and Adams, and other campus stool-pigeons. At first it was welcomed with open arms as thedaily contact of the rah-rah undergraduate boys andgals with the institution of higher education.Later as its scope widened it was read for its widecoverage of important names and parties and for thewise quips of Himmel, everybody’s bosom pal. Todaythe Bazaar slowly wends its way along, somehow en¬dured by its campus readers, toward a lower and lowerlevel.The Bazaar still has Himmel, still Leiser, and alas,still Smith and Adams. Tuesday’s paper is featured bySir Lancelot alias Richard (I won’t tell anybody, pal)Himmel. It is filled with the week-end fraternity parties,Friday and Saturday night at Hanleys, and all thenames, with dates that he can dig up; and as an addedattraction cute little nothings about the femmes whohappen to have bad luck. With Daddy out of town, theymust go out.Sleeping It OffWednesday is even better, for Leiser often, or Him¬mel when Leiser is still sleeping one off, writes abouthow I was born on the shores of Africa or all about thesecret of little Nell’s success in winning her man. Theyhave the sweet taste of the gay ’90’s with the innocentlittle girl winning her man by innocent charms ....Thursday’s paper contains a Bazaar that is a special.One of the members of the board puts his head out thewindow and flags the first passerby who is bodily forcedinto the Maroon office, tossed down at a typewriter, andtold to write about the first thing that comes into hishead. As the odd result, we read about the differentkinds of Barflies, Sheep and Goats, and other interestingarticles of universal appeal.Ladies’ day is Friday with Smith and Adams dishingout the dirt. Sally’s job is to find out all about who thePsi Us are taking out this week and why they aren’t aMB. Shirley digs up all the dorm dope and visits theprexies of Sigma, Quad, and MB to find out their week¬ly reaction to all their BMOC dates. They then givethe clubs a big build-up and take out all the grudgesthat the dorm sob-sister’s have given them. Friday’sBazaar definitely takes the herring-wrapper as the bestof the week.Lovingly yoursJim HoatsonBazaar SupplementWILHELMINA JANSBested only by parades for “Scholarships, not Battle¬ships,” was the dynamic file of sandwich women, withsuch glamour women as Mahan, Headland and Pearce(Sic!) leading the pack, which marched through theC Shop yesterday, bringing the mid-day fiesta-siesta toa halt ....

An importantpart of aerial warfare is thereforeweather forecasting. There is a needfor such men—meteorologists—in thedefense units of the government atthe present time. Under the directionof Horace R. Byers, the newly formedInstitute of Meteorology in the depart¬ment of physics is working strenuous¬ly to help fill this need.Thirty graduate students are study¬ing this new course of meteorology.From all over the United States, Can¬ada, Mexico, the West Indies, andfrom ships in both oceans weatherfiata is telegraphed into the map lab¬oratory on the third floor of Ryerson.From a busy teletype machine thestudents get this data and from itdraw up two weather maps a day.Hen ScratchesThe maps are ordinary maps tostart with, but when the students fin¬ish with them they are a confusion ofcurved lines and, as Professor Wexlerputs it, “hen scratches’’. The “henscratches’’ are meteorological symbolsand figures written over the spotsfrom which the weather data comes.Spread out over the U.S. are thirtyweather stations which send up bal¬loons evei'y midnight to sound out theweather conditions in the higher partsof the atmosphere. Instruments, radio¬sondes, connected with the balloonsautomatically broadcast back to thestations the weather conditions farabove. These reports reeived in Ryer¬son on the teletype give the studentsan opportunity to make a three-di¬mensional analysis of the atmosphereover a large part of the northernHemisphere.“Fair Toi^ght”“Fair tonight and ‘tomorrow’’ may be a forecast of long enough durationto satisfy the average person, but notthe meteorologists. Research goes on inspite of defense work. In the last twoyears accurate weather forecastinghas increased from thirty-six hours tofive days. “To further increase thisperiod,’’ declared Dr. Byers, “largerareas are needed from which to drawweather reports, especially from sta¬tions out on the oceans.’’Horace Robert Byers was born inSeattle, Washington, in 1906. He re¬ceived his bachelor’s degree at theUniversity of California in 1929 andin 1936 his Sc.D. at M.I.T. Before hereceived his doctor’s degree he wasengaged in research at various placesthroughout the counti'y.Close CallOnce while he was experimenting at1600 feet in an airplane over the SanBernadino Mountains a downcurrentof air suddenly swept the plane down1000 feet. The resulting sudden pres¬sure change completely wrecked theexperimental instrument carried onthe wing. The earth came up rapidly,and the forests below grew periouslyclose. A crashing noise came from therear of the plane. Mr. Byers hesitat¬ed to look around for he feared thetail had torn loose. Happily the noisecame from a pile of magazines whichhad fallen to the floor of the plane. At500 feet the drop ended.The Civilian Aeronautics Authorityand the U.S. Weather Bureau will of¬fer full expense fellowships for grad¬uate study in meteorology again nextyear for physical science students whohave completed their undergraduatework by next summer. Students in¬terested in winning a fellowshipshould take the civilian pilot primarycourse which begins this month.

Forexample:1. An uncommonly large number ofthe faculty have felt stronglyenough about a piece of nationallegislation concerning Americanforeign policy to sign on the dot¬ted line under a strongly wordedmanifesto pro or con.2. Opinion is definitely divided. TheLend-Lease Bill has a majority ofthe signers, but by no means anoverwhelming majority. This in¬dicates that no absolute proof ofthe rightness or wrongness of ei¬ther opinion is available, but thatdifferences of opinion representindividual judgments based on dif¬ferent lifetime accumulations ofknowledge and experience.3. Scholars who are most concernedwith people and their private af¬fairs at first hand tend to opposethe bill. Physicians are confrontedwith the immediate horrors of warand with none of the ultimatecauses.4. Scholars who are most concernedwith more general and less tangi¬ble aspects of American organiza¬tion tend to favor the bill. Histo¬rians, geographers, and politicalscientists have devoted their at¬tention to American national or¬ganization in a setting of worldrelations as a prerequisite frame¬work for people and their privateaffairs. The bill in question has todo with national organization andworld relations.The foregoing figures can be juggledin many other and possibly more sig¬nificant ways. The only claim that carjbe made for this particular analysis isthat, although made in a hurry by afaculty member with preconceivedopinions, it represents a sincere at¬tempt to get at truth and not to con¬ceal it.Very truly yours,Robt. S. Platt.P.S. Since Januai-y 27th, when thePro manifesto was issued, I under¬stand that 102 names have been added,bringing the total to 260 Pro asagainst 106 Con on the list of Febru¬ary 4th. Tile additional names couldhardly change the nearly unanimousopinion in favor of the bill amongspecialists in public affairs, but theymight show a favorable trend amongspecialists in private and other af¬fairs. R.S.P.Board of Control,The Daily Maroon:I’d like to inject a few words intothe bitter internecine strife raging intoday’s Maroon between Ernest Leiserand Bob Reynolds. Reynolds wondershow Germany could invade the UnitedStates. Is an armed invasion the onlykind of invasion? Even moi'e danger¬ous is an invasion of ideas. The pastdecade has seen a rash of totalitarian¬ism all over the world. Will not aGerman victory result in the spreadof the victorious ideology? Hitler hasalready “invaded” half of SouthAmerica. Possibly totalitarianism, asAnne Lindberg says, is “the wave ofthe future.” Certain it is that a Ger¬man victory will result in a greatspread of the form of governmentshown to be effective, and an increaseof Nazi agitation and prestige in theUnited States. Now possibly we’re alla bunch of gory imperialists, not asworth saving as the Negroes, as P.Zagorin claims. However I don’t thinkso, and Bob, you and I are realistsenough to know that Mr. Hutchinsmoral order will not have the vitalityto save us from the threat of a tri¬umphant totalitarian ideal.Reynolds asks for proof that Eng¬ land is our friend. Is that necessary toa down to earth realist like you? Isn’tit enough that we have the same com¬mon interest, both in a form of gov¬ernment and an economic world freeof customs-unions. A cursory exam¬ination of Germany’s economic policyin Europe will show that Mr. Hull’strade policies have no place in it. I’dalso like to remind Reynolds that theUnited States grew up and becamegreat in a world dominated by Eng¬land.These words, like those that havegone before in the Maroon, settle noth¬ing. Endless attempts at clarificationhave only beclouded the issues. It isto be hoped, however that Congresssees the light and passes the Lend-Lease Bill before it’s too late.Jay FoxJohn Gould FletcherSpeaks on CampusJohn Gould Fletcher, well-knownAmerican poet and winner of thePulitzer prize for poetry in 1939, willgive a public lecture next Thursday,at the University.The lecture will be on “Americanpoetry—Is it Regional or National?”Fletcher is presented under the aus¬pices of the William Vaughn MoodyFoundation.

THURSDAY. FEBRUARY 6. 1941THE DAILY MAROON SPORTSMaroons PreparingFor Purdue ContestWith the season well past the half¬way mark, Coach Nelson H. Nor-gren’s battered Maroon five puts thetragic memories of the year on adusty shelf, and prepares for an in¬vasion of the spiritual center of bas¬ketball, Purdue University, next Sat¬urday night.In the season thus far, the Maroonrepresentative in the Western Con¬ference winter sport boasts a record offour wins; which is more than bal¬anced by eight losses. The Wctorieshave come against Illinois Tech, NorthCentral, Marquette, and Princeton, re¬spectively.Purdue has been treading the un¬steady waters of an extremely luckyconference season.

The Maroons, who have runinto opposition when the oppositionhas been at an offensive peak, mightperform the pushing role in the pre¬dicted “Humpty-Dumpty” drama nextSaturday.Jack Fons and Joe Stampf carrythe scoring hopes of the C-men as theyready for the trip to Lafayette. Nor-gren has surprised Chicago followersby using George Krakowka, the mus¬cular guard, for most of the time inall the recent games. George, althoughnot a threat on the attack, has turnedinto a tenacious defensive player.Meet TheAthleteFloored by ineligibility temporarily,John Argali, captain of the swimmingteam, has been forced to miss the firstthree meets of his team.A mix-up in credits awarded by theBusiness School left Argali withoutthe requisite number of credits tocompete. A couple of examinations willpermit him to get into action againstPurdue a week from Saturday, how¬ever, he promises.In his third year of competition forCoach MacGillivray Arfall has been asteady, consistent performer, swim¬ming the 220 and 440-yard events.This year he will probably be draftedinto the sprints, where, with BillBaugher, he should be able to pickup quite a few pointers.In addition to swimming he is inhis third season of water polo in whichhe is a forward. Because most of thepolo meets have been against Chicagopark teams in the city league. Argali’sscholastic trebles have not botheredhim. He has not been able to competeagainst Big Ten opponents, though.Prepped at CulverBefore coming to the University heprepped at Culver Military Academy,where he won a swimming letter in hissenior year. It was at Culver thathis most memorable sports experienceoccurred. It was when Admiral Rod-man, U. S. N., presented Johnny witha medal for scoring the highest num¬ber of points in aquatic events dur¬ing the summer.Besides these two sports Argali ison the executive committee of the var¬sity “C” Club of which he is publicitydirector. He is also a member of theDolphin Club, honorary men’s swim¬ming fraternity.Reynolds ClubSwamps ScientistsThe Reynolds Club squad rompedover the Bacteriology team 50-3 lastnight as twelve teams battled in I Mcompetition at Bartlett Gym. The Bac¬teriologists failed to tally in the sec¬ond half.Johns of the Lyin-In team poured20 points as his team beat Press Re¬lations 32-22. The score at the halfwas tied 10-10. After Johns tossed aone hander in at the start of the sec¬ond half, his team was never lagging.The Deke E boys came from be¬hind to clip the Psi U D squad, 10-6.They were losing by 3 points immedi¬ately after the half, due to Grosbie’sone hander, but a bucket by Kraeger,a free by Folk, tying the score, andtwo straight goals by Tozer put thegame on ice for them.I M RESULTSLying-In, 32; Press Relations, 22Deke E, 10; Psi U D, 6Soc Ser Adm, 22; Billings, 14Psi U C, 27; Deke D, 12Jailbirds, 2; Elite C, 0Reynolds Club, 60; Bacteriology, 3AJpha Delt E, 30; Delta U E, 22Deke C, 2; Phi Sig D, 0Alpha belt D, 2; Phi Sig C, 0. As I WasSaying-By BOB LAWSONToday’s column is not one with amessage; it is, instead, one with manymessages. It is unburdening of asports editor’s soul. It reflects pathosand sadness in the small articleswhich would make good ^ries couldthey all be told.Such little bits of drama as the sud¬den epidemic of ineligibility which ishitting the Big Ten basketball teams.“Hoot” Evers and Henry Sachs of Il¬linois went first. Then Monday it wasMilt Lenheiser of Wisconsin. No in¬eligibility trouble for the Maroons,though.I could say that Big Ten basketballis too rough and dirty, but I’ve saidthat in two columns already. Incident¬ally, everyone who is playing or has iplayed the game in the Conference!that I have talked to agrees with me.(Touche, Mr. Former Big Ten Basket-iball Player, who is still cloaked inmystic anonymity.)I could mention the fact that, al¬though good tennis players can bebought by alumni and sent here, foot¬ball players cannot. Such are thevagaries of men’s minds. But of courseI can’t say this because it would bebad publicity for the University.Speaking of football, into my mindpops the names of Arch Ward andLloyd Lewis. As do all the Tribunewriters, Mr. Ward deliberately dis¬torts the present football situationand emerges with the recrudescence ofBig Ten football here. Mr. Lewis,however, as he has done so consistent¬ly and admirably in the past, is per¬fectly aware of what is happening andwrites lucidly and sympatheticallyabout it. He is probably the bestsports writer in Chicago and yet canwrite unbiasedly about Chicago ath¬letics. More power to him; long mayhe reign.And then there is intra-mural bowl¬ing which has been sadly ignored inthese pages. The outstanding individ¬ual performance to date was turned inby Baxter Richardson when he hada total of four pins at the end of thethird frame. Of such stuff are heroesmade!Perhaps you might be interested inknowing that both Northwestern andArmour Tech track men are workingout in the Fieldhouse along with theMaroon squad. The Techawks alwaysdo, but Northwestern is doing so nowbecause Patton gymnasium has beentorn down, and the new one isn’t com¬pleted. Chicago may not have a foot¬ball team, but at least it has a gym¬nasium. Does that rule Northwesternout of the Big Ten, Mr. Ward?
