This informationwas gained by looking up birthdaysin Who’s Who, The American Men ofScience, Who’s Who in Chicago, Lead¬ers in Education, and other generalreference books. By subtracting thedate of birth from 1941, the Maroonstatisticians were able to obtain aclose estimate of each professor’s age.The following retirements can beexpected from among the full profes¬sors at the end of this year: Prank-lyn Bobbitt, education; William Nitze,French; Fred Koch, biochemistry; andGilbert Bliss, mathematics. Retiringnext year: McKendree Raney, direc¬tor of libraries; George Works, Deanof Students; Harlan H. Barrows, ge¬ography; Martin Sprengling, Semiticlanguages and literatures; and EdithAbbott, school of social service admin¬istration.In 1942-43: Edson Bastin, economicgeography; Dudley Reed, director ofStudent Health; and William Bower,religious education. Chester Wright ineconomics will retire between 1943and 1944.

Jim Blade and his orchestra,of the Ambassador Pump Room andDrake Camelia House, will provideboth swing and sweet music. Thedance, which starts at nine and con¬tinues until one, will be held in theBurton Dining Hall, where refresh¬ments will be served. Advertised asthe last chance to have fun beforecomps, bids at $1.60 per couple willbe placed on sale this week, and canbe obtained from any member of thedorm council or at the Judson office.Servicemen’s FrolicThe Waiter’s Dance (officially, itseems, the “Servicemen’s Frolic’’) willstart at nine in the Burton DiningHeII, to the music of Chuck Toweyand his Orchestra, popular campusoutfit. Invited will be waiters, ex-waiters, engineers and all those who,at one time or another, have punchedthe Burton-Judson time-clock. Be¬cause of funds accumulated duringthe year from tips left by dorm visit¬ors, the dance will be free to service¬men.As usual, the Judson lounge will bethe scene of a tea dance this Sundayfrom 4 to 6 and Dorm men are urgedto get dates for the affair. Announce¬ments of future Sunday afternoon teadances and a beer bust will be forth¬coming.The Dorm Council, ably headed byBill Malinowski, is responsible forthis very extensive spring social pro¬gram. According to Malinowski, thisis expected to be one of the most suc¬cessful quarters, from the dance pointof view, since the formation of thecouncil. Gilbert Bliss. . . retirement coming upPhysics DepartmentStages Push-buttonExhibit at RyersonThe Physics Department has a veryinteresting exhibit, in honor of theUniversity’s Fiftieth AnniversaryCelebration. There are buttons andbuttons—those to please the scientistand those to please the playful.By pushing one of these you canstrike the house with lightning (likeZeus); or if you feel more mercifulyou can ward off the lightning by rais¬ing a lightning rod with another but¬ton. If this is too much exertion youcan listen to cosmic waves bouncingoff an iron tube without pushing anybuttons at all.Bouncing ApplesNewton would be pleased to see therightly famed apple bouncing off hisbean in a series of murals around theroom. In the same room you can seethe sound waves made by your ownvoice or put your coin purse in anX-ray machine to see how much mon¬ey you have. (The reporter was em¬barrassed!)Around the room are various mech¬anisms illustrating scientific laws.Drop a feather and a bullet in a vacuumand they reach the bottom together.I knew that already but the guide wasgood-looking so I listened. Every 26minutes, “Old Faithful,’’ an artificialgeyser, spouts seven feet into the airand startles unwary observers. Andthere’s a mirror in which you reallysee yourself as others see you bydouble inversion of the glass so thatyour right hand is apparently on yourleft side.Astronomy ObservatoryIn connection with the Physics Ex¬hibit, there is also an astronomy ob¬servatory where on clear nights thestars and the moon may be seen.These exhibits may be visited by stu¬dents or anyone interested in the uni¬versity on Wednesday evenings atRyerson Laboratory.Marine CommissionsOpen for GraduatesRepresentatives of the UnitedStates Marine Corps will be in Stu¬dent Health this morning after 10A.M. to give physical exams and tointerview graduating students whowish to qualify for a commission assecond lieutenant in the Marine Corps.Recent graduates, as well as thosegraduating this year, are eligible forthe tests. The quota for this year’sclass is set at seven men.Students receiving such commis¬sions will not in any way be subjectto the selective service act or any partof the recent draft regulations. Hutchins Quiet—!“For a Few Weeks’’Contrary to rumors on campus, theDaily Maroon learned yesterday thatMr. Hutchins will refrain from givingout any statements on the war for aperiod of “a few weeks.”The statement was released to theMaroon by Rachel Porter, secretaryto the President.It was intimated in high Universitycircles, that Hutchins’ statement wasdesigned to discourage news-hungryjournalists, campus and professional,who have always recog^zed Hutchas a source of good copy.Interest in what the President hasto say is expected to run high, how¬ever, when he finally decides to breakhis self-imposed silence.Finer DescribesPrinciples AtIssue In War{By MARK FISHER“I am a citizen of another nation.I can only recognize my own coun¬try’s duties.” This was the answer ofHerman Finer, eminent political sci¬entist visiting the University fromthe London School of Economics andPolitical Science, to the question ofAmerican participation in the war.The scholar had an extremely haz¬ardous trip across the Atlantic. Hetraveled in a small ship which wasbombed several times on the journeyand, indeed, one of the vessels mak¬ing up the convoy was sunk by theGermans.Principle of LoyaltyDoctor Finer did state that he be¬lieved in the principle of loyalty thatshould exist between people of sira-' ilar ideas and added that “moral re¬sponsibility was the only distinguish¬ing characteristic between man andthe lower animals.” Not only does hehold this responsibility to exist butalso argues that it increase in a directproportion with the power held by apeople.The English Social Scientist deniedthat the claims that all of the Alliedpowers could not be classified as de¬mocracies were fundamental to thequestion of aid. There is, according tohim, a “more basic” issue at stake,and the issue is whether Europe willbe organized on the basis of a groupof colonies helping to support Ger¬many or as a group of self governingstates. He admitted that this was nota choice between a perfectly good orperfectly bad system, but said that inthis choice as in all others we mustrecognize “gradations of perfection.”War Decided in AirFiner also expressed the opinionthat the war would be decided not byarmies, but by airplanes. He said thatin several more months English air¬craft production would be greatenough, with the aid of Americanplanes, to make living in the Germancities an impossibility. “The Axis willbe forced to give up all their wide¬spread European conquests when theR.A.F. is able to do on a large scalewhat the Germans have done to a fewEnglish cities.”He closed the interview by statingthat the English have today a work¬ing democracy including the rights offree speech, vote and association. Headded that the war has greatly aidedthe cause of progress by helping tobreak down the old class walls and hewas, furthermore, “absolutely cer-(Continued on page four)Score CoverBlackfriars announces a ScoreCover contest for “Dust It Off.”Winner, the drawer of the best de¬sign for the cover, receives two freetickets to a performance.Women may compete in this con¬test.

Pierce who will talk on “Writ¬ing the History of Chicago;” Dr.Florence Hawley, “What the TreeRings Tell;” and “The use of micro¬film in a Modern University,” by M.Llewellyn Raney, director of Univer¬sity libraries. iDiscuss Race ProblemsIn the evening is scheduled a Sym¬posium which from advanced reserva¬tions will prove one of the best at¬tended events of the week. Fay Coop¬er-Cole, Robert Redfield, and LouisWirth will discuss “Race and Minor¬ity problems.”Yesterday Dean Richard McKeon,Ronald Crane, chairman of the Eng¬lish department, Clarence Parmeneter,(Continued on page three) “We are willing to work on all na¬tional defense orders,” said Don Gal¬lagher, C.I.O. auto workers organiz¬er, at a meeting sponsored by NewAmerica last night. “The union is onehundred per cent for the NationalDefense idea,” the strike head added,“and we have gone through our ownpicket lines to facilitate it.”The reason defense work in theplants affected by the strikes has cometo a stop is that company manage¬ments have not been willing to coop¬erate with the union, Mr. Gallaghercontended. In one instance where theunion offered to continue work on de¬fense orders, the speaker said the firmrefused the workers’ proposal becauseit was afraid the employees might“pull some tricks.”Answers ChargesReplying to charges that unionworkers in the Ford plant had destroy¬ed or tampered with machines, dies,and tools, the young labor leader de¬clared that the damage was not madepublic until two or three days afterthe strikers left the shops. Unionworkers did not do it, he said.Discussing labor conditions in theFord plant, Mr. Gallagher accused themanagement of employing racial andnationalistic hatred to prevent strikes.To further assure freedom fromstrikes, the company has in the pastemployed “service men” to report theactions and conversations of theworkers, said the speaker.One To Every TenThere is one of these men forevery ten workers, and at one time tenthousand of them were employed, headded. The speaker also said that theFord Company had in the past em¬ployed tear gas and machine guns inhandling its labor troubles.Turning to the organization of theI strike, Mr. Gallagher told his audi-i ence that a minimum of fifteen thou-; sand workers were employed in main¬taining picket lines about the Fordplant, and one hundred and fifty scoutcars were used to patrol the sur¬rounding streets.In the election to be held soon con¬cerning the strike the speaker pre¬dicted that at least 85% of the votewould be favorable to the union.Reorganized PUDebates ConvoyPolitical Union, long known for itschoice of controversial topics for de¬bate, has chosen “Should AmericaSend Convoys?” for the subject of itsfirst meeting of the quarter, today at3:30 at Law North.Under the reorganization plan, re¬cently adopted the cabinet govern¬ment, selected from the legislature,was abolished and an organizationmore similar to the Congressionalsystem substituted.Consequently, the president willopen the meeting with a short talk,explaining the issues involved. Next,speakers representing the various par¬ties will express their viewpoints,followed by general discussion.Owing to the controversial natureof the question which transcends par¬ty lines, the outcome is probably un¬predictable. Everyone is welcome tocome and the floor is open to all.Women's BaseballTo Start April 15Intramural baseball for women willstart April 15. There will be two pe¬riods, Tuesday and Thursday at 3:30,and Tuesday evening at 7.

Prof. Arnold Whitridge,Yale University, in Atlantic Monthly.When Professor Whitridge wrote the abovepassage he was indicting the American Under¬graduates’ attitude toward the war and berat¬ing them for being “unimaginative and cold¬blooded." In his article he took American collegestudents to task for over-valuing objectivity.How much truth there may be in the profes¬sor’s accusations is incidental; it is apparent toanyone on a college or university campus thatfaculty members and students alike consciouslycultivate an objective attitude toward theirstudies and, by extension, in their philosophy oflife.Overwhelming the SpiritualAt times this almost ubiquitous rationalityseems to overwhelm that portion of life whichis represented on the quadrangles by the chapel.And yet, as Professor Whitridge implies, mostpeople believe that there are problems whichcannot be solved by a rationally objective ap¬proach, and there is a place for faith and hopeand emotion in our social structure.In the ordinary course of events, few peoplefeel the necessity of expressing their hopes,ideals and beliefs, or even their innermostfears. Thus it is, that when a catastrophe com¬mon to all befalls us and we begin to look to ourfellows for support in our attempts to solve ourdifficulties we discover that we are not at allsure who feels as we do about democracy, hu¬man kindness, justice, and the like.MisunderstandingsThe older generation feels even more strong¬ly than ever that the younger is “unimaginativeand cold-blooded," and the new generation re¬news the cry that it is misunderstood. Peoplewho may, if they only knew it, subscribe to thesame values derived from similar ideals, workmadly at cross purposes creating more dilem¬mas and making the catastrophe more crush¬ing.At the same time we discover to our distressthat it is difficult to believe others may be sin¬cere and high-minded when they differ with ourfeelings and beliefs. We doubt their reasoning,their idealism, their integrity, and we end bybecoming angry with them.In other words, the need for more' mutualunderstanding among men which we all recog¬nize occasionally becomes, in times of crisis,blatantly apparent.Worth the EffortIf the Campus Conference on Religion andthe Social Order now in progress can add to thismutual understanding, it will be well worth theeffort that has been spent in planning and car¬rying it out. If, as a result of the conference,faith and hope have an opportunity to reasserttheir right to a large place in our individualphilosophies, the conference may well prove tobe one of the most important functions held onthe quadrangles this year.

From the sunshine to the ridicu¬lous is the usual order of procedure. People emote likemad all over the place and no one seems to notice any¬thing peculiar; then they leap about, tearing aroundthe parks, climbing fire-escapes and jumping fences andstill nothing is said.Tennis courts and bleachers are doing full time duty.By day, they contain the masses, basking in the sun, de¬ploring the lack of ability to study, the tragedy of at¬tending classes, and occasionally staring at the tennisplayers grueling on the courts. By night, they are thewitnesses of amorous intrigue, lovers huddled together,whispering sweet nothings about social problems, thewretched conditions of the poor, and the inhumanity ofthat nasty man.

All this time we thought Hutchins was anidealist. Now we find he is just a sucker for donations.Yours, in disillusion,Phil Rieff Retirements—(Continued from page one)Cohen in philosophy.

Thenumber of retirements tends to varyconsiderably from year to year. Indetermining whether or not the facul¬ ty of a university is declining in qual¬ity, it is also important to considerwhat new men of high scholarly abil¬ity are available to take the placesof retiring professors.47th-KinibarkKenwood 6000 25cAlterTHur., M., Sdl., Apr. 10, II, 12••N1©HT TRAIN"Thq f Ictur* of tho YoorAltoJOHN BARRYMORE and VIRGINIA BRUCEin"INVISIBLE WOMAN"Start Sun., Apr. 12"HONEYMOON FOR THREE"with ANN SHERIDAN.

THURSDAY. APRIL 10. 1941 Page ThreeThe MinorityViewpointA BULL SESSIONBy DAN CRABBIt occurr^ to me Sunday as I waslistening the the faculty’s retort toPresident Hutchins stand, that if Iwere middle-aged, I, too, might be lessreluctant to gamble in Americanlives with supposedly erudite phrases.Inasmuch as I am not, however, andinasmuch as no one has yet convincedme that there is to be another lifeafter this one, I prefer to consider themeans of improving and safeguardingthis one life which I have, rather thanto propose to throw it away to setthe world in order for several decades.Foster InterventionThose who advocate the latter pro¬gram, whether they do so in franksupport of war or by a more subtlemethod of gradual approach to it, stillseem to base their argument on oneproposition: that America cannotpossibly exist in a world with the vic-toriou.s Nazis, neither morally noreconomically. They say that Germany,upon beating England, will immedi¬ately set about to capture our trade inSouth America. Their assumption iscertainly derogatory of American en¬terprise and diplomacy which haven’tyet failed to manipulate the Latincountries as they saw fit. Their rem¬edy is practically sub-intelligent. Ger¬man economic control of South Amer¬ica will cause a lowering in U.S.standards of living. What to do ? Let’slend billions to Britain, eventuallyenter the war and lower our standardof living to a point which would makethe alternative situation look like aLucullan banquet. Evidently there arepeople who will personally lose moreby a Briti.sh defeat than the Amer¬ican people as a whole will lose byparticipation in the European con¬flict. Their numbers are small buttheir voices are, unfortunately, loudnut of all proportion.Threaten InvasionBut if the intellectual intervention¬ist has failed to frighten us with thebugbear of our Latin neighbors pan¬dering to Germany instead of to our¬selves, he has another and more pic¬turesque card up his sleeve, — to wit:when gallant little Britain goes downthere will of course be a change inthe Ivondon cabinet, their policies willbe altered and we may expect theBritish navy in conjunction with thoseof Germany, her allies and herpledges, to steam across both oceansand proceed to bombard every city insight. Invasion and immediate victoryfor the aggressors will result...Ourfriends, the interventionists, have aless flattering opinion of Americanability and resources than they aretelling their friends across the At¬lantic. With one voice they assureEngland that the grand old Americanawill soon be over to rescue them fromtheir plight and with another voice,they tell their erstwhile fellow-citi¬zens that we haven’t the will orstrength to beat off a possible invader.They may list several resources whichwould not be available to us in theevent of a Nazi victory. Rather thanwork to provide synthetic substitutes,they smugly declare intervention to bean easier and happier alternative.They may say that the U.S. cannotbuild ships to compete with Ger¬many’s potential navy. If we suggestthat the American people pitch in andwith all our resources solve this prob¬lem, they sadly shake their heads andoffer participation in the war as thebetter plan. They accuse us of anargument divorced from reality but iftheirs is realistic, then I got hold ofthe wrong dictionary.Inaccurate AnalogyThe interventionist’s favorite deviceis inaccurate analogy. He will saythat we must not share France’s fate,nor Holland’s. When he compares theU.S.A. with such countries, he is re¬vealing a conception of America,which would, to put it mildly, shockour forefathers and founders. Whenhe compares the Rhine River or theBritish Channel to the Atlantic Ocean,he is revealing a conception of geog¬raphy which makes one look at himquerulously and wonder where he hasbeen with all these maps hangingaround. And if you dare allude to thesubject with which I began, he willbecome quite incensed and tell youthat even the old mossbacks are inhonorable danger of their lives inLondon, as though the distance fromCalais to London were in any waycomparable to the distance from Eu¬rope to the U.S. His argument mayconvince the people of New YorkCity, many of whom have not been inthis country long enough to under¬stand that they are on the West sideof the Atlantic; it may readily per¬ Ida Noyes CouncilPublishes Pamphletsuade those who want to believe it;but it certainly has not convinced meand will not until I see it happen.And if Euch a thing should come topass without the assistance of OrsonWelles, I credit our people withenough stamina to put up a goodfight. When the interventionist callsthis a pre-Vichy French attitude, heis insulting our country both morallyand geographically.Obvious InterestsIt must be obvious that there areinterests in this country and else¬where which fear a German victory inEurope so much that they are willingto sacrifice many American boys andmore American money to protectthemselves. Who these people are Ido not know but they are there andtheir sentiments are being projecteddown by way of the governmentthrough the body politic of the U.S.Its favorable reception among someis due to bad reasoning, among othersto no reasoning and its eventual ac¬ceptance will be due to the fact thatthose who want war are organized tocarry out their plans whereas thosewho do not, even though they consti¬tute a majority, have no power. Ourparticipation this time, if we are tohave the rare honor of recapturingthe European continent for England,will make the 1917-1918 affair looklike a Sunday afternoon picnic. Tothose who sit at home and make theircalm, diabolical proposals of intema-tionalistic idealism it may be a greatand glorious venture; to those of uswho will experience the more brutalaspects of the thing, it will only bethe tragic revelation that Democracy,be it ever so great and good, is afterall just another name for the sub¬jugation of a large number of peopleto the interests of a few.The interventionist may say, “Wewant to live well, so some of you goout and die. We’ll think of you whenyou’re gone and maybe we’ll evenbuild a lovely monument to you.’’ Butto me there is far more glory in lifethan in death and life in America canbe a sure proposition if we only stayhere and toke care of our own busi¬ness.Entertain HighSchool SeniorsThe Student Publicity Board ’ willguide high school seniors this week¬end around campus after the seniorshave visited the National CollegiateGym meet at Bartlett or the CityPublic High School fencing tourna¬ment. In three weeks about 300 select¬ed seniors will see Blackfriars, tradi¬tional outlet for terpsichordian anddramatic ability of University men.The purpose of the Board is to sellthe University to high school seniorsand the Board believes that the bestway to do this is to give seniors achance to see the University in action.From the end of March until schoolcloses in June over twenty-five dele¬gations of hopeful seniors will havevisited the University, seen athleticgames and Mandel plays, listened toMoody lectures and orchestra con¬certs, taken part in high school wres¬tling and fencing meets and goneaway convinced, the Board hopes, thatChicago is the school for them.Scholars—(Continued from page one) Under the supervision of the IdaNoyes Council, a pamphlet has beenpublished which consists of a surveyof Ida Noyes Hall. It includes thehistory of the hall, the type of itsconstruction, and a study of its furni¬ture. The purpose of the publicationis to increase appreciation of thefacilities of the building.Ida Noyes was erected in 1916 byLa Verne Noyes in memory of Idahis wife, a grraduate of Iowa StateCollege where she was active in dra¬matics and public speaking. Architectswere Shepley, Rutan, and Coolidge.A committee on furnishings wasappointed from prominent women, andthey decided that the furnishingsshould conform to no special periodor style. 'The rooms are intended torepresent an accumulation of an Eng¬lish manor house in which minglingof periods is to be seen. Most ofthe furniture obtained by the originalcommittee remained in place until1936.The large table in the center of thefoyer was designed by Italian work¬men especially for the hall.

The dinner party,which it is hoped will be only the firstin a series of such events, was spon¬sored by the Varsity “C” Club. Over160 athletes and members of the Phy¬sical Education staff were in attend¬ance.Athletic Director Metcalf acted asmaster of ceremonies. The coachespresent made short addresses. CoachVorres announced that Sam Zafroswas elected captain of next year’swrestling squad. Coach McGillivrayrevealed that Art Bethke had beenelected to head the swimming teamand Paul Smith to head the water-polo aggregation.Coach Norgren also spoke but thenew basketball captain has not beenelected. Coach Hermanson, fencingmentor, was absent. The athletes vot¬ed unanimously to send a message ofgpreeting to Coach Hoflfer who is atpresent confined to the PresbyterianHospital.Judge Hugo Friend ’05, presidentof the Order of the “C” representedthat organization. Dr. Dudley Reed, head of Student Health and memberof long standing of the coaching staffgave a witty speech.Art Lopatka spoke as President ofthe “C” club. He commented on thework the club has already done incombating the “unhealthy attitude"regarding athletics which persists onthis campus.“The club, in uniting the athletes,has indeed done much toward abolish¬ing the defeatist attitude which hasbeen rampant among Maroon ath¬letes," he said.Finer—(Continued from page one)tain" that the reforms promised theEnglish people during the war will bekept afterwards, and “they will bebased on more social security, great¬er equality of opportunity, and moredemocratic institutions, economic andpolitical.”PLEDGING NOTICEPi Delta Phi announces the pledgingof Eleanor Frantz of Springfield, Il¬linois.Gym Champs UneasyIn Title RolesThat old phrase “uneasy rests thehead that wears the crown" was madeto order for the National CollegiateAthletic Association’s gymnastics fi¬nals in Bartlett Gym, Saturday night.Most of the kings of the separate di¬visions are back to protect their in¬dividual titles, and the monarchedDlini will return with their horde ofaerial artists., But if the champions are back, soare the challengers. Newt Loken, ofMinnesota, returns to contest defend¬er Martin Boardman’s horizontal barleadership. Ed Danser, who playedsecond fiddle in both the side horseand the parallel bar events last year,returns to try again to displace HenryKoehnemann, of Illinois, and BobHanning, of Temple, top men in theside horse and parallel bar, respec¬tively.Earl Shanken, the long horse lead¬er, faces a nightmare when a tidalwave of combatants, all skilled in thefield, descend to do battle against himthis term. Lou Fina, the Illinois com¬patriot, is back to try once again fora better berth than the place position.Huston, of Temple, last season’s longhorse third place winner is also com¬ing to try again, and A1 Robertson with Captain Court Shanken, fromChicago, are not to be easily dis¬counted. Courtney won’t mind if Earlloses the long horse bounty to him,for “it is still in the family.” Earlprefers to keep it.Robertson and Loken will face StanSzypula, the national A.A.U. king, inthe Tumbling eliminations. The Ma¬roon and the Gopher finished knottedin second place last time.Practically the only event thatdoesn’t find the champion on the spotis found in the Flying Ring event.Only the number two and three menwill return to vie for the abdicatedthrone, when Temple’s Fogle and Min¬nesota’s Loken put in an appearance.“Labor and Armament Econom¬ics” is the topic that members ofthe Socialist Club will hear at ameeting of the group tonight at7:30 in Social Science 106. Thespeakers will be Frederick Harbi-son, member of the Economics De¬partment, one of the authors of“Economic Mobilization", andFrank McCulloch, a lawyer and di¬rector of the James Mullenbach In¬dustrial Institute. Champion lllini Open NineSeason With Depleted RanksRoettger The University of Illinois, defend¬ing co-champion with Northwestern,faces the coming baseball season witha sadly depleted squad. Coach WallieRoettger misses four of the mainstaysof the team which last year won tenvictories while dropping two contests.John Parcotti, Tony Pyrz, Bill Hap-ac, and “Hoot" Evers,—pitcher, short¬stop, first baseman and outfielder re¬spectively make up the foursome.Meets NorthwesternIllinois opens its title defense be¬fore Northwestern meeting Indianatomorrow and Saturday. Coach Roett¬ger has built his squad around eightlettermen: Capt. A! Grant, Joe Al¬exander, and Johnny Drish, pitchers;Bill Brewer, catcher; Liz Astroth,third baseman; Chet Ziemba, firstbaseman and catcher; Russ Dresch-sler, outfielder, and Paul Milosevich,utility man.The probable Illinois first team willinclude two Sophomores, Bob Bartley,shortstop from Hyde Park HighSchool of Chicago and Amo Bessone,third baseman, a member of Illinois’ championship hockey team.Start Star SophsOther sophomores likely to see ac-tion are Bob Wahl, who topped thebatting order on the southern trainingtrip and Ray Lunte an outfielder. PaulMilosevich will play first and “Liz”Astroth will be at second. Capt. A1Grant will probably be the Ulini’astarting pitcher with Joe Alexanderas his first substitute.The Orange and Blue will not meetChicago until the 2nd and 3rd of May.Both games will be on GreenwoodField. The lllini have only a fairchance to regain their share of thetitle. Northwestern will be muchstronger at the plate although IllinoUhas a definite edge in the pitchingdepartment.FONS INJUREDJack Fons, Maroon third base¬man sprained his ankle seriously inpractice yesterday afternoon. Jackwill be lost to the team for at leastten days. A complete medical re¬port is not yet available.Maroon HopesRideOnShankenNobody, including those powersthat be knows the troubles CourtneyShanken has. For Courtney, captainand vital support of the Chicago gym¬nastics team structure, will carry thesuccess or failure of the Maroons withhim in the NCAA, Saturday night,when he competes in every event onthe program.If Courtney, brother of the longhorse champion, Earl, performs in acalm, capable manner the Maroon fly¬ing circus can be conceded a chanceto win back the national collegiatecrown they last held in 1938. In al¬most every meet he has started thisyear, Court has fallen off of some typeof apparatus in the early events,which has led to a complete collapsein some cases.Brother C., of the Shanken family,must exchange point for point withsuch men as Paul Fina, of Illinois, andNewt Loken, of Minnesota, if the Ma¬roons are to stay in the running. Hemust, indeed, out-play the six otherAll-Around championship contestants.He will be adequately surroundedby the usual cotorie of Earl Shanken,Glenn Pierre, A1 Robertson, and pos¬sibly Jim Degan. Pierre, who former¬ly worked on all the apparatus exceptthe tumbling mats, has given upeverything else to concentrate on theside horse. The strategy dictates aneffective performance on one specificinstrument rather than a group ofmediocre showings on everything.COLLEGENIGHTNow BERN IECUMMINSand his OrchestraPROFESSIONAL FLOOR SHOWSBETTER THAN EVER COLLEGE SHOWSGet Special Student Tickets . . .
