Moon. It was,in part, the result of a reorganizationof the Weekly which had been found¬ed ten years before.Among the men whose names wereon the masthead during its earlyyears were, Harry Hansen, DonaldRichberg, Jerome Frank, and “Nat”Peffer.During the early twenties TheMaroon numbered among its staffmembers such men as Sterling North,John Gunther, Vincent Sheehan, andClifton Utley. It was that golden eraon the quadrangles when the stand¬ards of its student authors reacheda height that has never since beenequalled. The Maroons of those yearsreflected the talent they possessed.As its literary period waned, theMaroon gained fame for its progres¬sive editorial policy, for the energywith which it backed the “liberal” at¬titude in the late twenties and earlythirties. Recently, its policies havebeen more conservative and it haslacked its former willing^iess to cam¬paign for a “cause.”If it has at the same time lost someof its vitality, it has, perhaps, gainedin the breadth of its interests. Foralmost forty years the policies of TheDaily Maroon have been ceaselesslychanging, nearly always for the bet¬ter. So long as the enthusiasm of itsfounders lives on the Maroon willcontinue to move ever closer to thehigh ideals they set for it. 9 MillionCollectedFor Fund Feature Gala WeekSymposia, ReunionsAward Honorary Degrees, HoldCarnival of ’93 as Thousands “ComeBack to the Midway.”Clifton UtleyMaroon BeerParty!

The alumni of theUniversity have donated almost halfa million dollars. The faculty andstaff of the University have given ap¬proximately $80,000, of which about$15,000 laps with the alumni fund.Of the total funds given, aboutthree million is unrestricted as to use.The rest of the money has specifi¬cations as to the manner of its use,whether 4t will be spent from the 1principal interest, used for endow¬ments, scholarships, or research.Wide CoverageContributions for the fund werereceived from nearly every state andfrom many foreign countries. Theyranged in size from over a milliondollars to twenty-five cents. The lat¬ter came from an alumnus teachingin a college that cannot meet its pay-! roll. In the letter which accompani¬ed the gift the donor explained thathe was housed in one of the dormi¬tories and took his meals in the col¬lege dining hall. The money he en¬closed was literally all the cash hepossessed.The anniversary gift will be pre¬sented to the University September29 at the Alumni Assembly in Rocke¬feller Memorial Chapel.

SEPTEMBER 19. 1941By NELS FUQUAEditor's Note—In the annals of the univer^sity the name of the writer will always belinked with one of the greatest of all BlackfriarhitSy Plastered In Paris, a production which hewrote. Since his graduation in 1925 he has beenone of the most loyal and most energetic alumni.His great devotion to the welfare of the univer^sity is nearly equalled by his ability to tellanecdotes and his amazing memory for namesand personalities. In this all-time bazaar he re¬calls some of the more humorous of the univer¬sity's sagas.When you've sat.. .in Hutchinson Commons over the ruins of the forty-eight cent special dinner has your eye ever wanderedabove the portraits of the Founding Fathers to thedust and dirt covered windows? If so, unaware, youhave beheld a tradition.In the middle twenties the University staged one ofthe ftossiest parties in its history at the Commons, alundh for H.R.H. the then Prince of Wales. PresidentBurton ushered the terrified glamour boy into the hall.Trying desperately to make him feel at home, the pres¬ident said, “and, your Highness, this is an exact replicaof the Commons at Christ Church College, Oxford."The young prince looked around appraisingly be¬fore he answered, “yes, that is, except for the win¬dows.”“The windows? What do you mean? What about thewindows?”“They're clean. At Oxford it is traditional to neverwash the windows of the Commons.”From that day to this the windows of Hutchinsonhave never been washed.* *After How to Read a Book panicked all the cultureseekers on the North American continent Milt Mayerchristened Mortimer Adler with a new name, a namewhich Bennett Cerf used in introducing the author ofthe New York Book Fair and which President Hutch¬ins used in introducing him to the New York AlumniAssociation. The name? “The Margaret Mitchell ofMetaphysics.”Teddy Linn used/ .to talk about a student in his composition class, an^astonishing Irish youngster from back of the yards, ayoungster whose red socks used to be visible throughthe holes in his shoes.In one quarter the boy submitted sixty thousandwords scrawled in pencil on yellow paper—^the firstdraft of a novel. Mr. Linn recognized the power andvitality of the youngster’s work even though to histaste, founded on the Victorian classics, the subjectmatter and the language were so distasteful that hecalled his pupil's work, “a monument erected inBtsanure.”Later, teacher and pupil each used the other as<»py. In Mr. Linn’s novel, Winds Over the Campus, theyoungster is one of the characters. And it is Mr. Linnwho is the subject of the now well-known short story.The Professor by James Farrell.When the novel, first written in English class, wasfinally published under the title. Studs Lonigan, theyoung Irishman sent Mr. Linn a copy inscribed with asentence over which the professor often chuckled. Itread, “To my beloved teacher, James W'eber Linn, whotaught me all—he knew.”%£ OoJLq TfkiAOOnFOUNDED IN 1902 The last Odyssey.. .of the football boys to the east under Old ManStagg culminated with a visit to Washington wherethey were to meet the then Secretary of State, HenryL. Stimson, a Yale classmate of the coach. The squadfiled into the impressive offices in the State Departmentand lined up in front of Mr. Stimson’s mammoth desk.After a moment of hush the coach orated, “Boys,take a look at Stimmie. Take a good look at him. Stim-mie is a great soul. And the best thing about him...”(Here he paused to give his classmate such a wallopingslap on the back that the great man was obliged toclutch his desk for support.) “The best thing aboutStimmie is that he’s just as pure today as he was theday before he left Yale!”The thirty football players turned crimson withembarrassment, but the Secretary of State of theUnited States of America turned purple.Last Spring, when Richard McKeon’s edition of thetexts of Aristotle was published, he was requested tomake a personal appearance at Marshall Field’s bookdepartment to help whoop up sales. When asked toautograph copies of the book he queried, “Which namedo you want me to sign?”A long time ago...there lived in Foster Hall two sisters who—in ad¬dition to being beauties—were heiresses. One day thecampus was staggered by the announcement that theirgrandfather, the old buccan(^r who had founded thefamily fortune, was giving the University of Chicago ahalf million dollars for a building to bear his nameand, of course, to further science and research.From then on the heiresses spoke of nothing but“Grandfather’s building” and the campus spoke ofnothing but them. In fact, George Morgenstern andMilt Mayer w-rote a Blackfriers show about then, ashow called. The House Uiat Jack Built.But the campus didn’t know how the University gotthe building. One day Julius Rosenwald, a trustee ofthe University went to Grandfather and began cau¬tiously, “Well, you’ve certainly made a lot of money.”Grandfather, still unsuspecting his friend’s purpose,admitted he had been fortunate.The trustee went on, “But you’ve never given anylarge sums to philanthropy. Or cultural. Or education.”Grandfather saw it coming and swallowed hard.Mr. Rosenwald reminded, “You must have madea killing on that tip I gave you last year on Sears Roe¬buck stock.”Grandfather muttered incoherent gratitude in hisconfusion and braced himself for the worst.He didn’t have to wait long. Mr. Rosenwald pro¬posed, “I will make the University of Chicago an anon¬ymous gift of a quarter of a million dollars. You’llgive the same amount. With the half million we’ll putup a building and name it after you. How about it? Itmeans immortality at fifty cents on the dollar.”Hmm.

Books, over 200 of them, are being solicit¬ously gathered for a ten day exhibit in theReynolds Club. This exhibit is destined to makethe Alumni proud of their Alma Mater, forthese books, selected for display by their au¬thors, were all written by men and women whoat one time attended the University of Chicago.From Wednesday, September 24, until Sun¬day, September 28, the North Lounge of theReynolds Club will be open to all visitors whowish to examine this display and the subsidiarycollection of novels which have the Universityitself as a setting. Most interesting work of thelatter group, written anonymously by an Eng¬lish instructor in the College, is a novel “GreyTowers” which very pointedly criticizes theUniversity’s neglect of undergraduates.An important problem arose when it cametime to restrict the types of works to be ex¬hibited. After deciding that only books of anon-scholarly nature would be used, MartinGardner and his committee in charge could notfind a means of differentiation. However, aftermuch discussion, they concluded that non-schol-arly works do not have foot-notes. So the inter¬ested visitor will find only one book with footnotes, and that is a satire on lengthly bookswritten by Will Cuppy.Among the many books of fiction, poetry anddrama, are the works of such men as VincentSheean, John Gunther, Edgar Ansell Mowrer,Vardis Fisher, Louis Zara, and others. The au¬thors themselves chose the works they wishedto have shown.

Leacock'sRecollectionsOf ChicagobyStephen LeacockI look back with very great grat¬itude to the help that the Universityof Chicago gave me towards a realstart in life. That was forty-threeyears ago. I was twenty-nine yearsold when I entered the graduateschool as a student in Political Econ¬omy and Political Science.I had taken my B.A. degree yearsbefore (at Toronto, 1891), and was socompletely educated, so full of lang¬uages—living, dead and half-dead—that I was badly damaged and had toteach school. As an undergraduateand after graduation, I had ten yearsof it. I say nothing against schoolteaching, still less against teachingas a resident master, as I was. Forthose who, like that kind of thing, itis just the kind of thing they like.There are those who stay at schooland never grow old; for them, eachyear, the same youthful faces, thegames, the team, the home-for-the-holidays—and for that the world welllost. For such men “business” seemsas who should sell his soul to thedevil.For me not so. School teachingmeant drudgery; the status humilia¬tion; the future nothing. Just as tome college teaching, even on the low¬est grade, is the greatest professionin the world. The one means the boy;the other means the book.So after ten years, like ArtemusWard’s prisoner, I opened the windowand got out. Chicago was my window.I had decided to abandon languagesfor ever. At Chicago they made agenial pretense that I was fit for thegraduate school in economics. It is alittle hard to see why, except that Iwas obviously not fit to die.I had selected Chicago because ofthe arrival there on the staff (1899)of Dr. Gordon Laing. He and I hadbeen fellow-students, Damon and Pith-ias—or is it Scylla and Charybdis—at Toronto. He beat me at graduationby 30 seconds. He had taken classics—an even heavier load of it. But hehad stuck to it, attended Johns Hop¬kins, studied at Rome and Athens,dug excavations, read inscriptions,wrote papers—in short never let onthat he didn’t really know anythingand kept it up for fifty successfulyears. I understand that Chicago on¬ly got on to him and asked him forhis resignation. Sterling North’sA Critique Of Criticism Page Four Vol. 1, No. 1So Burton Rascoe didn’t like theUniversity! And Vincent Sheeanconsidered it more or less a waste oftime!If you ask me, the literary pose ofbelittling one’s alma mater has beencarried to its ultimate absurdity.Rascoe came from the intellectualdesert of Oklahoma. Sheean emerg¬ed from the Illinois hinterland. Likeall the rest of us who drew our firstbreath in small-town America, thesevery superior young men were thrill¬ed to their finger tips by a chance tomingle with their intellectual betters—and don’t let anyone tell you other¬wise.Why did more than fifty first-rateAmerican writers choose the Uni¬versity of Chicago for their school?Why did we gather from the comfields of Wisconsin and Iowa, fromthe cutover lands of northern Michi¬gan, from the hills of Kentucky andthe river bottoms of Missouri tospend four years on the Midway ?Herrick was one reason, Lovett an¬other. Throughout mid-America itwas known that at the University onewould find good conversation, a cre¬ative ferment, young men and womenof similar persuasion who knew allthe words in youth’s bright lexicon.The narrowness of provincial Amer¬ica, the taboos of the corn and Bible! originality. Thebelt, the booster spirit and babbittryof Main Street were said to be neu¬tralized and superseded at this Mid¬western Oxford.We came hoping to write, hopingto think, hoping to be allowed to liveour own lives in the big, exciting,dirty metropolis of Chicago. If someof us failed to take advantage of theaccumulated wisdom stored in thestacks of Harper or failed to heed theintelligent counsel of many a patient Iinstructor, the fault is ours and notthe University’s. It is just possiblethat the belittlers have confusedtheir own paucity of intellect withimagined deficiencies of the Universi¬ty.Perhaps the esthetes of Sheean’sera were as la-de-dah as he makesthem appear in his chapter entitled“American Gothic” which preludesPERSONAL HISTORY. Conceivably,campus poets were the poseurs othershave portrayed. By the time I camealong, however, the Poetry Club wasperhaps the best training field inAmerica for lyrical athletes and me¬taphysical high jumpers.Criticism was sharp and construc¬tive. Manuscripts were pooled an¬onymously at the various sessionsand read by one of the poets chosenfrom the group. Even George Dil¬lon’s Pulitzer Prize-winning lyricsdid not come off scot-free. Half adozen of us were selling our poemsto The Dial, Harpers, The Nationand other magazines. 'Two or three(of us) had taken national poetryprizes, but none was spared thefiercely honest and searchingly an¬alytical comment which arose like ahigh wind after the reading of eachpoem.

The Hall in which I lived had atheological name but no communityof saints. There were no common eat¬ing places, no common sitting rooms,no way of being together except inthe class rooms or in the saloons. Asa consequence there were no gradu¬ate student clubs or organizations, asyou can’t organize in a saloon. As amatter of fact, very few of the stu¬dents (this was before prohibition)ever drank.Years and years later, when I vis¬ited Oxford, I realized this lack allover again with a sort of wistfuljealousy of regret. At Oxford the“life” is everything; so much so thatyou don’t need to learn anything. Thatis why the Oxford men carry such anabiding sense of the superiority oftheir education over all others. AnOxford man feels himself in the classof a smoked ham or a pickled walnut.An Oxford man is a “brand”: a Chi¬cago man, of my day, was just some¬thing out of a box,I said there were no clubs. That isnot quite so. There was one that Iremember, the Political Science Club,that met in the little reception roomof the Hall once a month. The roomwas small but the club was smaller.But it made up for this by thewidth of the subjects it investigated.I remember that I presented a paperon China. Her Past and Her Future,which I knew to be good as I hadtaken four evenings to prepare it. Irecall the paper of a fellow studenton A Century of Right and Wrong inSouth Africa (this was in 1899) onwhich he had worked all afternoon,I recall also with affection the end¬less patience of Professor Judson (the31 later President) in attending ourmeetings, and his untiring courtesyunder what, I realize now, must havebeen unspeakable boredom.There were, I believe, other similarclubs on a much larger scale thanours. The Classical Club, which per¬mitted beer-drinking at its meetings,was notorious for its success.But I must not imply that therewas no real scholarship at Chicago.I remember once asking a graduatestudent in history what he had beendoing all summer. He answered thathe had worked on the tenth of Au¬gust. I said, “Just that one day?”He answered, “Yes, and quite enough,too; I only got part way through it.”Later I understood that he meant theTenth of August, with the capital let¬ters that hook it to the French Revo¬lution.Of my instructors, I saw verylittle of Dr. Lawrence Laughlin, thehead of the department. This waslargely my own fault, as I was veryslow in selecting and starting a thesisand Dr, Laughlin was too busy a manto waste time in mere colloquy withstudents. We, the students, did notat the time think much of Laugh-lin’s work on money. But later on Ihave come to think that his booksof succeeding years, especially hisCredit of the Nations, are among thebest work on the economics of peaceand war.Dr. Judson I specially admired. Hismethod of lecturing—a forward ad¬vance with pauses for casual ques¬tions, struck me as so good that Istole it, and never used any other.Later on, when he was president, Ihad the honor of knowing him verywell by reason of the marriage ofhis daughter with Dr. Gordon Laing.I took my lectures from ThorsteinVeblen and was deeply impressed byhim. He had no manner, no voice,no art. He lectured into his lap withhis eyes on his waistcoat. But hewould every now and then drop aphrase with a literary value to it be¬yond the common reach. In the firstlecture I heard, he happened to say,“Hume, of course, aspired to be anintellectual tough.” That got me,and kept me; the art of words is al¬most better than truth, isn’t it?Veblen’s only failing was a weak¬ness for lecturing on the Navajo In¬dians. We had a whole course on theirculture. I don’t recall who these peo¬ple were and never understood wheretheir culture came in. The lectures,I suppose, were a beginning of whathas grown into ‘behaviour econom¬ics,’ and ‘institutional economy,’which, I thank God, I am too old tolearn. Modf!

(SlI Hyde Pari 6324 all, he has played an important partin making a University just fiftyyears old the second greatest, if notthe greatest institution of its kind inthe country, as well as making signalcontributions to the theory of Ameri¬can education.It has taken an outstanding person¬ality and a brilliant intellect to con¬tinue the University’s earlier advanceduring the last 11 years, the mostdifficult of her existence. Probablyonly a man as especially endowedwith both as Hutchins could havedone this.Glamour BoyAlthough he is gray at the templesnow, and a middle-aged paunch isbeginning to make his godlike figureless Olympian, six-foot-four RobertMaynard Hutchins is still the “glam¬our boy” of American education. Heis still as brash and witty as he waswhen he was a child president at 29,except that his humor has a wearyedge to it, explicable certainly by thehot seat in which he has sat for thelast 11 years.He is less of an optimist than hewas when he first came to Chicago,and started to reform American edu¬cation in a day. Eleven years ofbucking the majority have convincedhim that his efforts have made littleimpression, and that he is almost aneducational failure. However, he isstill continuing the fight, more ma¬turely and more patiently, and evenaccording to his own terms of battle,he has certainly won some importantvictories. The classical methods ofeducation are not yet completely fol¬lowed, nor do the great books yetform the subject matter of everyschool curriculum. Yet Hutchins hasmade an important section of theUnited States at least cognizant ofsuch methods and such subject mat¬ter, and a gradually growing num¬ber of followers are being found forhis educational dicta. In techniquesof higher education, especially, hehas achieved concrete gains. Leader,if not father, of the New Plan, he hasseen other universities adopt Chica¬go’s own four freedoms, freedomfrom cumpulsory classes; freedomfrom advancing at a prescribed rate,regardless of ability; freedom frominterference in extra-curricular activ¬ities and personal life; and lastly,freedom from restrictions on inde¬pendence of thought.BeggarHutchins is essentially an educa¬tor. Since he has been president ofthe University, however, he has hadto devote his chief attention to ad¬ministration, and to the work thatFortune once called “high class aca¬demic beggary.” His personality hasbeen important in this work, and veryfew whom Hutchins has sought tocharm have been able to dislike him.The chief outlet for his essential na¬ture as an educator, for the otherside of his personality, has comefrom his work as co-teacher of acourse in the “History of Culture.”His fellow in this venture, which em¬bodies in practice some of his educa¬tional theories, has been for tenyears, Mortimer J. Adler, the secondof the triumvirate.Adler, professor of the philosophyof law, has contributed to a numberof Hutchins’ educational and ethical■-A New College Song Book!r.A BOOK IN THE BEST TRADITIONOF THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGOIn celebration of the University’s Fiftieth Anniversary,a new and enlarged edition of the University of ChicagoSong Book has been published.The last edition which has been out of print since 1939,was called by leading Chicago music houses, “the bestcollege song book in the country.”TWICE AS BIGTWICE AS MANY SONGSPrice $2.50U. of C. BOOKSTORE5802 Ellis Avenue ideas. He has gratified the intellec¬tual side of Hutchins’ nature, and thetwo have been close friends since hewas imported from Columbia a decadeago.William B. BentonAdler is an ardent follower of St.Thomas as the Catholic Christian in¬terpreter of Aristotle. He sees inthe modern materialistic world a pro¬gressive degeneracy, and feels that heis a prophet called on to restore theworld to reason and to God. Likemost prophets, he does not know howto make threats of hell and damna¬tion palatable, and in addition, he hasset himself on the side of righteous¬ness, and allies his opponents withthe forces of evil. As a consequence,regardless of the degree of truth ofhis preachings, and despite the factthat he is undoubtedly a brilliantman, he has failed to win more thana few converts, and much of a Uni¬versity that was tolerant of him as abrilliant excitable young man tenyears ago, has grown hostile towardsa dogmatist who has told them theywould best serve humanity by com¬mitting academic suicide. Adler, how¬ever, has influenced Hutchins a greatdeal, but only Hutchins has been ableto take Adler’s ideas, and adding his own, by the sheer charm of his per¬sonality, secured for them a hearing.Saint Mortimer’s chief contributionto American literature, at least interms of influence, has been the pop¬ular “How to Read a Book.” With hisdesire to improve the slipshod Amer¬ican methods of learning and reading,many people have found themselvesin agreement, and his reading primerhas won favor among many intellec¬tuals as well as best-seller addicts.His books concerned with Thomistsubject matter, however, much morescholarly and much more profound,have had very little circulation exceptamong Catholic intellectuals whowere already convinced of the truthof what he was saying.Vastly different from undiplomaticscholar Adler is the third gentlemanmentioned, William B. Benton. Heis not primarily a scholar, althoughamazingly well-read and extremelyintelligent and sensitive. He is, onthe other hand, a bom diplomat,suave, charming, a perfect exampleof the higher order of Americanbusinessman. Unlike most business¬men, his social conscience was great¬er than his desire for more money, soafter making a few comfortable mil¬lions in advertising, he came to theUniversity in 1937 to advertise thebenefits of higher education, moreespecially the privately endowedhigher education of the University ofChicago. He has done an amazinglygood, job, especially in the field ofradio education, in which he is mostinterested. The continuing success ofthe University Round Table is in im¬portant degree due to him, and pio¬neer programs like the Human Ad¬venture are his idea of dramatizingthe worth of university activities.As vice-president of the Universi¬ty, he is the silent man. He shrewd¬ly leaves decisions on policy to thebig boss, but he has influenced himconsiderably, especially in the lastyear or so. A perfect public rela¬tions man, when he works withHutchins, and when they are backedwith Adlerian ideas, they present afront of smooth-working brains andsocial suaveness that is unbeatable.FOURSOME'JACKET .WAISTCOAT • TROUSERS * SLACKS$■3750COMPLETESMART • PRACTICAL • ECONOMICALStyled by Finchley in the brisk and gracefulmanner essential to garments destined for cor¬rect but vigorous week-end aind country usageor rugged campus wear.

FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19. 1941innn.) The Circle had died a predicta¬ble death when placed in the handsof a staff consisting mostly of foot¬ball players. And so the Forge,campus poetry magazine, was alonein maintaining the literary traditionof the big school on the Midway.Contributors included Elizabeth Mad¬ox Roberts, Glen way Wescott, GeorgeDillon, Jessica Nelson North, GladysCampbell, Bertha Ten Eyck James,Stanley Newman, Robert Frost, Eu¬nice Tietjens and a host of otherdistinguished writers both on and offthe campus.One of the 67th Street studios ofColumbian Exposition vintage servedas an experimental theatre for dra¬matic presentations of all kinds.Founded by Nick John Matouskasand myself, the Cube attracted acreative motley. We painted the en¬tire interior an inky black, the wood¬en benches which cascaded toward thestage had seats of Chinese red, theblack velvet curtain swooped up oneither side with a satisfying swooshand the floor boards of the stageseldom creaked except at dramaticmoments. Framed by this smallproscenium, Katherine Dunham cre¬ated and danced her first improvisa¬tions. Several of my own early andfaulty plays were produced. Max¬well Bodenheim chanted his unen¬chanting lyrics and campus actorshammed their lines to the delight ofthe rowdy audience. If memoryserves, our noble experiment endedin a brawl. To recoup our shatteredfinances, we had stooped to puttingon “Ten Nights in a Barroom,” com¬plete with mahogany bar, free beerand sawdust on the floor. Before thecurtain went up, Nick hissed in anagonized whisper, “No cluck in thestipple; no cluck in the stipple.” Itwas not until our schoolgirl sopranostepped before the curtain to sing“Father, dear father, come home withme now, the clock in the steeplestrikes one” that I understood ourquandry. We had no bell. No clockin the steeple. So we managed thesound effect as best we could bybeating the hours on a dishpan withthe handle of a broom. By the timethe soprano was warbling “Father,dear father, come home with me now,the clock in the steeple strikes four”the audience was rolling in the saw¬dust.Unfortunately, all the Studs Loni-gans in twenty precincts had been at¬tracted by our offer of free beer.They heckled our actors, who ad lib¬bed spirited replys until at last thetomatoes and beer bottles were fly¬ing in earnest and the curtain rangdown upon a complete shambles. Itwas perhaps the only athletic contestin which the University of Chicagowas victorious during my entire col¬lege career. In a battle betweentown and gown, we routed the Loni-gans completely. But that, as I re¬member it, was our last performance.Speaking of the creator of StudsLonigan, my first memory of James Coeds Virginia Butts.

He was deliberatelystanding on the University Seal, hiscollar open and necktie askew, ex¬plaining how he had run up a $24 cab bill as a reporter for WilliamRandolph Hearst. He had been ask¬ed to cover the ice storm along thelake front and he had dutifully doneso by taking a deluxe cab from In¬ diana Harbor to Lake Bluff.Such was the literary tempo in theterrible 20’s and writers who saythey didn’t have fun are merely try¬ing to kid their public.LET'S "PICK A RIB" OR "TEAR A CHICKEN"at theTROPICAL HUT1320 EAST 57th ST.

MAYERWhen I was in college—and by col¬lege I mean the University of Chi¬cago—the Daily Maroon was cam¬paigning for a fireplace and sofas forthe bookstore, evening hours for thecoffee shop, a larger swimming pool,and a “liberal” attitude on the partof fraternity men toward Barbs. TheLiberal Club, incidentally, attractedan audience of eight to a speech onpeace by Jane Addams. Let me hastento add that I was not one of the eight.There are other memories, sweetand symbolic, of my and everybodyelse’s misspent youth. Chrysler Road¬sters. Fur coats, ranging all the wayfrom Australian wombat to Manchur¬ian man-eating dog, de riguer for thecollege man from warmest October towarmest April. Knickers (for men)and slickers (both for and as men).Gin in the Flowing Bowl at the Betahouse, gin among the Wet Smacks,Twitches, and Twirps in the dormi¬tories, gin in the drug stores. Pipecourses everywhere, always on thefirst floor and always at such pleas¬ant hours as 10 and 11 A.M. Andthe first of the Grand Old Man’s ex¬clusively moral victories.Naturally, with the world as badas it was, the University of Chicagocould not be expected to be much bet¬ter, and The Daily Maroon, even ifnobody read it, reflected the prevail¬ing cretinisms that characterized so-called college, so-called life.I have come back to the Universityof Chicago, to pass my dotage amidthe serenities that seemed, and were,so inhospitable to my madding ado¬lescence. The world, I am told, isworse, much worse, than it was inthe 1920’s; the University of Chicagoshould be correspondingly worse thanit was in my time, and the DailyMaroon should be perfectly terrible.The world is worse, all right, butthe University of Chicago, apart fromthe President and faculty, is plainlybetter, and the Daily Maroon is onlyimperfectly terrible. Whether we oweit to Coolidge, or Churchill, or to Hit¬ler, it is nevertheless a categoricalfact that the young men and womenI encounter at Hanley’s saloon on Fif¬ty-fifth Street are more realistic thanthe young men and women I encount-i ered in my youth in Rudy’s speak onLake Park Avenue. I don’t supposethat more than a dozen would turnout to hear Jane Addams on the sub¬ject of peace today; I don’t supposethat more than a dozen realize thatHitler isn’t what’s wrong with theworld. No matter; they are youngand, as Aristotle said so long ago, theyoung can not learn much.What impresses me is that they donot aspire to a job at Halsey Stuart& Company, that they do not confusethe Chicago Tribune with a news-papr; that they do not spend alltheir time at Hanley’s, that they didnot bum down Harper Library whenDoctor Hutchins took their footballsaway from them; and that a negrofraternity, applying for membershipI in the Intrafratemity Council, has; the support of hundreds of them. WhatI impresses me further, is the interesti of the Daily Maroon in fairly seriousj problems such as Professor Adler.What I say applies, I am sure, toonly a few of the undergraduates.What I say is bitterly tinctured, Isuppose, by my personal grudgeagainst the bad old days. The factremains that the Daily Maroon eithermirrors undergraduates life, as itdid in my day, or is far ahead of it.Either way there is something goodgoing on here. The Maroon is notvery good, of course. The collegepress has always been lousy, and, forobvious reasons, it has always beenthe lousiest in the city. But com¬pared to the Maroon of my day, theMaroon of today is wonderful, as arethe inhabitants of Hanley’s comparedwith the inhabitants of Rudy’s.If the reduction from unrealisticbliss to idealistic realism, which Iseem to detect among the studentstoday, really sticks, if Hitler, Roose¬velt, and the rest of the activistsmake the world so much worse, (as Isuppose they will) that the reductionto realism sticks hard, then the worldmay yet be saved by the Daily Ma¬roon and the spirit it bespeaks. Therealism will have to stick in the faceof patriotism, victory, defeat, depres¬sion, boom, and crushing collapse.The Daily Maroon will have tofoster that realism; in or out of col¬lege, will dare to or in the end, wantto. Unless it does so, it will be inthe deplorable position occupied bymost of the other amusing or unamus¬ing activities which have engagedyoung and old alike in our time—theposition to have persisted and per¬sisted without having served any pur¬pose whatever.

All-American By WERNER BAUMNorthwestern! Northwestern! Beware of the dayWhen Chicago shall meet you in football array.For a field of Maroon rushes red on my sight,And the clans of McCornack are scattered in flight.You are boastful, Northwestern, you’ll feel BadenochsoonWhen you buck against Parry, Gale, Tobin and BooneSpeik and Kennedy’ll land you, if you get the least gayWith the help of “Eckie,” Catlin, Bezdeck and DeTray.So come on, old Northwestern, we’ll win by a scoreOf a touchdown, a drop kick, a goal and' some more!But, the call comes to battle; ’tis no time now to brag.Yet, beware! Coach McCornack, of A. ’Lonzo Stagg!With these words one Dean Shephardson filled mostof the front page of the “Daily Maroon” of Friday,October 21, 1904. Long lost in the history of Universityof Chicago personalities is Mr. Shephard. But in theglorious 50-year history of the institution and the40ycar history of the Maroon, this issue hit a high-spot.Chicago met Northwestern on the gridiron the nextday. The final score tells the story: Chicago. 32, North¬western 0. That 1904 eleven did not win any champion¬ships. Although the immortal Wally Eckersall ran 107yards to a touchdown in the final game against Wis¬consin, the team did lose a heart-breaker to one ofGrant Yost’s great Michigan teams.And thus we find ourselves in the midst of “ThePassing Parade,” the story of Chicago’s great teamsand great players. The football championships of 1896and 1899 and the baseball championships of 1896 andI 1897 were already part of history. The days of thegreat Herschberger had already passed. But we shallcontinue our story from here.Grant Yost could not bask in his 1904 glory forlong. For in 1905 Stagg had another team on the field.The Maroon of December 4, 1905 tells the story. A two- STAMPF.. ,19Jfl Conference Scoring Champ.inch headline in red type shouts:“Champions of the West.” For on that1905 Thanksgiving day Chicago tri¬umphed by a 2-0 score over Michiganon Stagg Field.Spirit Rules ChicagoKing Spirit reigned in those days.Said the Maroon: “The celebrationstarted the minute Catlin hurledClark over the Michigan goal lineand scored the safety that won thevictory. It spread over the campus,over the South Side, over the cityof Chicago like wildfire. Two millionpeople rejoiced in the downfall ofMichigan. It found its outlet Thurs¬day night in wild demonstrations inthe downtown hotels, theatres, and onthe main streets of Chicago. It per¬vaded study halls, club houses andfraternity houses all day Friday;danced, yelled and sung around thebig bonfire Friday night, and culmin¬ated last night in Mandel Hall in thewildest, most glorious, most sponta¬neous outburst of Chicago spirit evershown by the students and alumni ofthe University.” Before we pass those years of 1904and 1905 we must pause to rememberanother star who flashed in the hori¬zon. One Hugo Friend. Later to becalled Judge Hugo Friend and to beelected to the Presidency of the Orderof the “C”. In 1904 he won the broadjump in the inter-collegiate joutdoormeet with a tremendous leap of 22 ft.,8^ in. Before Judge Friend left theGothic City he captained the 1905track team to the 1905 championshipand acted as a Student Marshal.Nels Norgren..In the days when he earned histwelve "C’s.” And then there was the day inNovember 1905 when Colliers maga¬zine came out with one of the firstarticles on the subsidization problem.Chicago athletes were charged withgraft. Walter Eckersall, Walter Stef¬fen and Leo DeTray promptly repliedby showing their tuition and room andboard receipts.In the winter of 1906, a day afterthe funeral of William Rainey Har¬per, a news bulletin from Harvardshocked the sports world. In a secretmeeting the trustees had decided toabolish footbal until such a time asthe game was safe for competitors.In February Chicago’s senate metto contemplate similar action but de¬cided to retain football as long asthe other schools in the Big Ten did.The Senate had no inkling of whatwas to come some 34 years later.On November 24, 1906, Wally Eck¬ersall played his last game for theMaroon. The great hero played in 41games winning 35, tying 2, and losing4, “Eckie” scored the unbelievabletotal of 209 points in his' four-yearcareer. In his final game, in whichthe Maroons whipped Nebraska 38-5,he made five drop kicks from the fieldequalling the record he establishedin a game with Illinois in 1905. Ecker¬sall played at quarterback during histriumphant career. The, 1906 cham¬pionship was lost to Minnesota by a4-2 decision. Even today, although' football no longer reigns at our insti¬tution, students still feel a lump risein their throat when they enter theBartlett Trophy Room and admire thefootballs which Eckersall paraded upand down the old Marshall Field. Early in 1907 the basketball teamcame to the front. For the first timethe Western Conference was sponsor¬ing a basketball race. One “LongJohn” Schommer played center forthe squad and starred in every game.The team ended in a tie for the cham¬pionship and won the A.A.U. title.“Long John,” who also starred as amember of the track and baseballteams is now President of the Orderof the “C.”In the fall of 1907, the Maroons wonback the championship of the Westwhen, under the leadership of CaptainDeTray, the team whipped Minnesota18-12. The “Old Man” had scoredagain. Even though the game hadbeen played away from home Chicagoagain went wild with Maroon enthu¬siasm.The 1907 track team also smothereditself in laurels. One Ned Merriamset a new record for the 440-yard runon Wednesday, March 13, 1907. Thetime was :51 4-5 and the event wasthe annual A.A.U. meet. Chicagoemerged the victor. Merriam emerg¬ed a Chicago track coach. This same1907 team also captured the Na¬tional One Mile Relay championship.Leading the relay aggregation wereNed Merriam and Norman Barker.This Norman Barker, now Senior,must be proud to know that NormanBarker Jr. has just earned his fresh¬man numerals as a member of the1941 track and golf teams.1908 A Banner Year1908 was a banner year in Chicagoathletic history when three of themajor teams emerged as undisputedconference champions. The footballsquad won its second consecutiveWestern Championship from Wiscon¬sin 18-12. Walter Steffen captainedthe team in this, his last season.“Long John” Schommer was theteam’s other star, playing a stellarseason at end.The basketball team, under Schom¬mer, won its second consecutive title, |also from Wisconsin. A play-off wasnecessitated. The outdoor track teammade it three out of four for Chicagowhen it also won the Conference title.In 1909 the basketball team againheaded the list of Maroon teams. By means of the stellar play of Pat 1 League Champions, the Chicago Cubs,Page at Left Guard and Schommer at and lost 9-0. Tinker, Evers andcenter, the team won its third con¬secutive title.Not to be forgotten is the 1909baseball team which ended in a tripletie for first place. The brilliant pitch¬ing and hitting of Page, another greatall-around athlete, was mainly respon¬sible for the team’s showing.That same spring the track teamagain won the National One-Mile Re¬lay Championship.In 1910, with John Schomer coach¬ing, the basketball team won itsfourth consecutive title. The cham¬pionship was hotly contested and wasnot decided until the final game ofthe season with Minnesota. That rec¬ord of four consecutive titles by ateam was to stand for a long time. Asa matter of fact, no major Chicagoteams have ever even approached therecord but in 1936 the fencing teamstarted to win Big Ten championshipsand has not been stopped yet. To dateCoach Hermanson’s men have won sixconsecutive titles.In the fall of 1910 the football teamsuffered a disastrous season but thebaseball team engaged in the firstInternational series, travelling to Ja¬pan to play Waseda and Keio. TheMaroons won all six games under themanagership of Page.In 1910 the Western Conferencetook up official inter-collegiate tennis.Chicago won the singles championshipin the sport in which it has been fairlyconsistently supreme ever since.The year 1911 started with a bang.On the night of Friday, February 24,1911, one Nels Norgren started mak¬ing news when in a freshman basket¬ball game against Illinois, which thefreshmen won 22-18, he broke hiscollar bone during the first half in acollision. Nels has come a long waysince then. He is now President of theNational Basketball Coaches Associa¬tion.The indoor track team was theonly 1911 title winner. This markedthe first indoor track meet held bythe Conference.An April 11, 1911, the Maroonbaseball team engaged the National Chance were too much for the Ma¬roons. In May the Waseda teamcame for a visit with Pat Page act¬ing as the team’s general managerfor the American trip. The Maroonswon the lone game with the Japan¬ese by a 6-4 score.One of those unusual years, 1912,turned out to be unusual at thattime, for which Chicago did not turnout any championship teams.The year 1913 again marked an up¬swing in athletic fortune when thebaseball, tennis and football cham¬pionships came to the University.This marked the first time that theMaroons captured both the singlesand doubles division in tennis. Un¬til 1934 the Western Conference heldno team competitions in tennis.Competitions were held separately inthe singles and doubles divisions.Norgren Captains FootballNels Norgren, “C” man in all themajor sports, was captain of the 1913(Cont. on next Page) ‘IPat PageX .- .tiT-.. .on more winnng teams than anyother “C” man.Page Ten THE DAILY MAROON. FRIDAY. SEPTEMBER 19. 1941Passing Parade--(Cent, from preceding page)championship football squad. The1914 football season found Norgrenteaching the “Old Man’s” ideas tothe students of the University ofUtah.The 1914 football team lost the |Western Conference title to one ofZuppke’s outstanding Illini elevens, iThis season marked the end of thecareer of “Shorty” Des Jardiens. DesJardiens, captain in his senior year,played three years at the center posi¬tion and was awarded All-Americanhonors his last two years.The 1915 track team revengedStagg’s 1914 defeat when it defeated iIllinois for the indoor track title in |March.On June 1 Kenneth MacNeal and;Henry Gross teamed up to win the iconference tennis doubles champion-1ships for the Maroon. IFrom then on the Maroon star of:athletic supremacy continued in isteady descendency. In 1924 Stagghad another championship footballteam—the last championship footballteam the University ever had. In1920 the basketball squad won the Ititle and in 1924 it earned a one-third !share in the title. No basketball ^championships have been won since.In 1913 the baseball squad emergedas champions and no nine has been ;able to do so again. |In 1917 the track team won both :the indoor and outdoor track titles'marking Chicago’s last year of har- jrier supremacy. The 1916 and 1921 jswimming squads developed into Chi- icago’s two championship water out¬fits. In 1922 and 1926 Conferencegolf titles were annexed.The year 1926 marked the begin-:ning of conference competition in;gymnastics and the squad won the Ititle in ’26, ’27 and ’28. The fencingteam won its first title in ’28 and Chi¬cago also held the tennis doubles titlefrom 1920 through 1923.In 1928 Chicago’s poor footballshowing started to have repercus¬sions. The team was losing morethan it was winning, spirit was dying,and the Maroon started to write edi¬torials about the situation. At theGraduate Club banquet held Novem¬ber 14, 1928, twelve-letter manSehommer rapped the team with thisstatement: “What I’d say about thisteam (1928) couldn’t be put inprint.”That same week the “Daily North¬western” came out with an editorialwhich recommended that the Uni¬versity of Chicago withdraw from-the Western Conference because ofthe poor showing of its athleticteams—particularly, its football team.Aging A. A. Stagg must have beendeeply hit by that editorial. But itwas obvious that the University wasslowly getting itself into deep water.The trend was even becoming obviousin the Maroon. When the Phi Psiswon the 1928 touchball championshipthey received as much publicity asdid the varsity squad. Outstanding sports figures in thespring of 1929 were Harold Haydonand Jack Menzies. Haydon shatter¬ed the Big Ten mark in the 70-yardhigh hurdles and was not defeated inI the event during the entire season.Menzies was captain of the gymnas¬tics team under the tutelage of the jlate Daniel Hoffer. Menzies took theindividual Fig Ten Gymnastics titlein the conference meet.On Thursday, April 25, 1929,Harold Swift announced the appoint¬ment of Robert Maynard Hutchinsto the Presidency of the University, jUndreamed of then were the reper-1cussions Dr. Hutchins was to cause, jand certainly will continue to cause, iin the history of athletics at the Uni-'versity and in the history of theWestern Conference. jBright spot in a dull year was the1929 tennis team. With George Lott, jthen third ranking national player, jand Scott Rexinger as the squadleaders, both the singles and doubles !titles were annexed by the Maroons, iOn October 12, 1929, the Maroons jwon their first conference footballvictory since 1927 when they tri- iumphed over Indiana. The Hoosierswere coached by none other than PatPage, Stagg’s former pupil. By De- jcember 1929 the Maroon was runningstories which turned back time. Theteams of 1905, ’07, and ’08 were cited *as representative of Chicago’s once,glorious athletic tradition. jCrisler Leaves University jEarly in February 1930 Fritz Cris- jler left the Midway. Crisler had |starred on the gridiron and on the jbasketball floor in the twenties and ihad been assistant football coach to IStagg. Crisler took over the posi-1tion of head coach at Minnesota ata reported salary of $9,000. NelsNorgren took over the task of coach¬ing the baseball team when Crislerleft.In the spring of 1930 the gymnastsregained the Big Ten crown and thetennis team scored for the secondconsecutive time. Captain Jack Men¬zies retained his all-around cham¬pionship and Everett Olson, a sopho¬more discovery contributed largelyto Coach Hoffer’s success. ScottRexinger won the singles tenniscrown and teamed up with Bill Calo-han to take the doubles title.That same spring Kyle Anderson,now varsity baseball coach, was ap¬pointed Frosh Coach. Kyle was cap¬tain of the 1928 baseball team wherehe played shortstop and showed ter¬rific hitting; was a regular half-backon Stagg’s football squad, and playedprofessional baseball for a shorttime.On February 4, 1931, Pat Pagecame back to his old alma mater. Patwas appointed assistant footballcoach to Stagg.The 1931 baseball squad ended insecond place when they whippedMinnesota twice on May 16.

This featof winning double-headers on succes¬sive week-ends has never been equal¬ed in Big Ten history.Dale Letts climaxed his three yearsas a Maroon track star in June 1931by winning the National Collegiatehalf-mile in the record time of 1:53.5.The gymnastics and tennis teamsretained the titles they won in 1930.Scott Rexinger again won the BigTen singles. Thus, 1931, the year ofeducational reorganization at Chica¬go, had its full share of athleticthrills.The 1931-32 academic year openedwith the laying of the cornerstonefor the new Field House on October8. Sam Horwitz captained the 1931football eleven to its first victorysince early in 1929 when Illinois wasdefeated for the first time since 1922.Only 1932 team to win a champion¬ship were the gymnasts who won forthe third time in as many years.Highspot in the 1931-32 year wasthe abolishment of compulsory gymnafter a long and strenuous campaignby the Daily Maroon.On Thursday, October 1932, theMaroon published an issue with astreamer head announcing: “A. A.Stagg to retire.” Metcalf of IowaState was chosen to fill Stagg’s shoes.The “Grand Old Man” had reachedthe compulsory retirement age of 70.That Stagg had not lost any of hisability through age is testified to bythe championship teams he has turnedout at the College of the Pacific. SaidDr. Frederick Woodward, vice-presi¬dent of the University of Chicago, atthe retirement of Stagg: “The expe¬rience of the last few years hasbrought out the strength and stabil¬ity of the man. An insufficiency offirst class material has made it im¬possible for him to turn out winningteams, and his prestige with the un¬thinking public has doubtless sufferedseriously. But Stagg has not lost anight’s sleep over it. He has not com¬plained, either in public or in private;he had not blamed anybody or apolo¬gized for anything.”On November 19 the Maroonsplayed their last game for Stagg butwere unable to stop the WisconsinBadgers and dropped the fontest byan 18-7 score. Indiana accounted forthe only Maroon conference victoryof the season.Shaughnessy, New CoachRumors as to Stagg’s successor asfootball coach spread far and wide.Shaughnessy, Thistelwaite, Olander,Waldorf and Phelan were consideredas possibilities. On February 9, 1933,Clark D. Shaughnessy was officiallyappointed head coach. He had pre¬viously been at Loyola of the South.Stagg, at approximately the sametime, acepted a position with the Col¬lege of the Pacific. Immediately uponShaughnessy’s appointment Staggchallenged him to a game. Said Stagg:“The College of the Pacific challengeshim to a game at the earliest possibletime. We’re not afraid of the Chica-gos, even if they have more studentsthan we have. We’re fighting cocksout there on the coast. Tell him thatstrong.”In the spring of 1933 the gymnastswon their eighth title in nine years.On April 18 Pat Page announcedthat his contract with the Universityas a baseball coach would not be re¬newed. Page was the man who hadplayed in more winning competitionfor the University than any other “C”man of all time. Page still comes backevery year for the alumni baseballgame. The baseball team immediatelyhanded a petition to Athletic DirectorMetcalf asking that Kyle Andersonbe appointed baseball coach.Max Davidson and Trevor Weisscombined on May 20 to win the dou¬bles tennis title for the University.On October 3, 1933, Metcalf an¬nounced a “revision” of the athleticsetup at the University which is stillin operation. An intramural programwas set up which was te include everyform of athletic competition and in¬struction except the intercollegiateprogram. No cuts were to be made jon any varsity squads. Said Metcalf:“Emphasis will be continued on sports-!manship and ethical standards, withno ballyhoo or overemphasis of sports,or interference with academic work.”Shaughnessy’s first football team Amos Alonzo StaggTo The “Old Man”Silent and grim, he strode along the lines.Or crouched, his keen eye on the striving men.Ah, he had coached them! was his not the brainThat moulded every play, shaped every moveOf all that grand offense? The stern defenseWas his; wrought out in flesh and bloodHis master-piece ... his strong and matchless teamHis was the mind that picked the yielding spotIn that opposing line, and his the skillThat drove the half-back through the weakening guard.Greater than this,—his was the burning speechThat gave the men their dauntless, splendid will.And singing in their veins that Spartan blood.That glories in the fight, pits strength to strength,And will not own defeat.R.H.A.From Daily Maroon of November 23, 1904.did not win a conference victory butwas sparked by one of the best Ma¬roon backfields in history, consistingof Ewald Nyquist, fullback; Jay Ber-wanger, halfback; Captain Pete Zim¬mer, halfback; and Vin Sahlin, quar¬terback. Berwanger, only a sopho¬more, was voted the most valuableplayer and was given honorary posi¬tions on All-American teams. jThe 1933-34 basketball team was |unsuccessful although sparked by ^sophomore Bill Haarlow. Haarlow iwas the team’s high scoring man un¬til he suffered a broken toe in thepreliminary warmup for the Minne¬sota team. Haarlow was named anall-conference fonvard in his firstyear of inter-collegiate competition.Hoffer’s Last ChampionsGymnastics, Fencing and Tennis ti¬ tles came to Chicago in the springof 1934. The gymnastics title turnedout to be Daniel Hoffer’s last. Thefencing championship was the firstof a streak which was to bring eightchampionships to the Midway in nineyears to date. Max Davidson won thesingle tennis championship andteamed up with Trev Weiss to againwin the doubles title.In the fall of 1934 Berwangergained All-American honors whileplaying on a team which made a medi¬ocre showing. Although he did notscore at all in the last three games ofthe season. Jay finished in a tie forsecond place in the conference scoringcolumn with 30 points to his credit.In the 34-35 basketball season BillHaarlow won the conference scoring(Cont. on Page 11)LUNCHES 25c —35c COMPLETE DINNER 40cDON'T THINKabout aHOME COOKED MEALhave one at theSt George Hotel Restaurant60th St. and Blackstone Ave. Open 7 A.M. to 8 P.M.WELCOME!

But when he stop to think aboutit...what does it mean?We are basking in false glory. Weare no longer athletically speaking,in step with American education andwe must not be afraid to admit it.While the University of Chicago hasforged to the front as an academicleader in education, thus fulfilling itsprimary duty quite successfully, it nolonger rates in the sports world. Per¬haps the standards of the sportsworld are warped, perhaps our stand¬ards are wrong. Perhaps the Uni¬versity’s athletic degeneration is notdue to anything the University ofChicago did but merely to the factthat other universities expandedwhile we stood still.

Chicago teamshave compiled the following recordas far as the number of champion¬ships goes: Football 7, Basketball 6,Baseball 3, Outdoor Track 3, IndoorTrack 2, Swimming 2, Cross Country0, Wrestling 0, Golf 2, Gymnastics 8,Fencing 8 and Tennis 20. It must beremembered that only football andbaseball were played in the confer¬ence from its inception on. Othersports were added in later years.This total of 62 championships iseclipsed by only one school, Michi¬gan. But further scrutiny of therecord reveals some still more inter¬esting facts. The last championshipwon in each of the above sports wereas follows: Football 1924, Basketball1924, Baseball 1913, Outdoor and In¬door Track 1917, Swimming 1921,Golf 1926, Gymnastics 1934, Fencing1941 and Tennis 1939.Thus, in the last 15 years of West¬ern Conference competition, Chicagohas won 24 championships. All ofthese 24 championships were dis¬tributed among three sports: Gym¬nastics 7, Fencing 8 and Tennis 9.Teams Rest in CellarNo matter what we may say aboutthe good old days, Chicago has nothad a championship team in the threemajor sporto since 1924 and the lastfive teams, since 1939, have not beenable to rise out of tenth place in theBig Ten.The athletes have been trying. Itis not the fault of the boys who havebeen competing for the Maroon. Butsomething is definitely wrong. Thereis no doubt about it. We musteither meet the other schools in theconference on their level or we mustleave them. The next move is up tous.

The tennis teamretained the title * it had won theseason before.Saturday, November 23, 1935 mark¬ed Berwanger’s last game and it wasthat day that Chicago dailies came outwith the headline: “Berwanger 7, Illi¬nois 6.” With the Maroons behind byone touchdown and thirteen minutesgone in the third quarter he took apunt on the Illinois 40-yard markerand dashed to the two-yard line. Ber¬wanger was chosen president of hissenior class and was a uifanimouschoice for All-American honors. Jaywas awarded the Tribune’s silver foot¬ball as the outstanding player in theBig Ten and thus ended the career ofthe Maroon’s last football great.Bill Haarlow finished second toKessler in the conference scoring racein his final season of 1935-36. Haarlowdid set a new three-year conferencerecord, however, by virtue of the 415points he scored for Chicago. Theprevious record had been 405 points.Only championship to come to Chi¬cago in 1936 was that of the fencers.The tennis team lost for the first timein three years when Northwestern out¬pointed the team by a narrow margin.The 1936 football team was anotherfailure, gaining only one victory. Onlysilver lining to the dark cloud was thesurprising work of sophomore SollieSherman. Although inexperienced andhaving the handicap of coming rightafter Berwanger, Sherman gave anexcellent account of himself. Thefailure of the football team causedstirrings among the student body. TheMaroon began to criticize profession¬alism again and suggested that per¬haps we might have to drop footballor drop out of the Conference alto¬gether.1937 championships were capturedin fencing and tennis by coaches Her-manson and Hebert.In the fall of 1937 the Maroon cameout with one of its points on the plat¬form reading: “Abolish inter-collegi-I ate athletics.” A student poll showed1 that 37% of the students wanted aI change from the status quo. In thei meantime the football team lost sixI while winning one.Murphy Tennis StarThe spring of 1938 saw the fencingteam and the netters retain theirtitles. The 1938 tennis squad wasprobably the best ever assembled onthis campus with John Shostrom andBill and Chet Murphy carrying theburden. The 1938 gymnasts won theN.C.A.A. title. Irwin Beyer, nowcoaching, was the star of the team.On Saturday, November 12, 1938A. A. Stagg brought his College ofthe Pacific men to the Midway to playthe team he had made famous. NextTuesday’s issue of the Maroon con¬tained a large white space surroundedby a wide, black border. In the middleof the box it said, in the smallestprint size available,: 32-0. Shucks,fellas! The “Old Man” still knew hisbusiness.At the end of the disastrous 1938season the Maroon predicted editorial¬ly: It may take more than a year, buteventually inter-collegiate football willbe abolished by the University. Wecan read it in the stars. Maroon edi¬torial writers of the day were excep¬tionally well versed in astrology.Championships won in early 1939included water polo, fencing and ten¬nis. Practically unbeatable in Big Tencompetition were the Murphy twins.On the freshman team Wally Hebertdiscovered Calvin Sawyier, assuringhim of a tennis star for another threeyears.On November 25, 1939 the Maroonsfinished the most disastrous season inBig Ten history by losing to Illinois46-0. Student comments were not asstrong as the year before. Then,during the Christmas recess the bomb¬shell burst. The Board of Tru'steesdecided to withdraw from intercollegi¬ate football.Hutchins ExplainsOn January 12, 1940 PresidentHutchins spoke to the undergraduatestudent body and explained the Uni¬versity’s reasons for the action. Fewstudents remained unconvinced afterthe speech by the “God.” That sameday, Clark Shaughnessy announcedhis affiliation with Stanford with thestatement: “Intercollegiate football ismy first love.” One year laterShaughnessy proved that he wasright.In the spring of 1940 the fencing Learn brought a title to Chicago forthe fifth consecutive year while ru¬mors were making the rounds thatChicago would be asked to leave theConference. The tennis team lost thetitle it held for three years as theMurphy twins were sorely missed.Another set of twins, this one in gym¬nastics, had come along, however, tokeep up the tradition. Earl Shanken,fraternal twin of Courtney, took theNational title in the long-horse eventin the N.C.A.A. meet. The Shankenswere only sophomores at the time.Football was not sorely missed inthe fall of 1940. More men were play¬ing the six-man game than had en¬gaged in football the two previousyears.A miracle of small proportions tookplace during the basketball seasonwhen Captain Joe Stampf, playing ona team which could not win a singleconference game, annexed the confer¬ence scoring title with a total of 166points for the season. Nearest com¬petitor, Gene Englund of Wisconsintrailed four points behind Stampf.Today’s Athletic LeadersOnly highlights of the past aca¬demic year were the fencing team, theShanken twins, Calvin Sawyier and Stagg Field was not empty duringthe past few weeks, as might be ex¬pected. For the Chicago Cardinals,National League Pro Team used thefield in preparation for their openinggame on September 16.The feeding and rooming of the 36-man squad was undertaken by PhiSigma Delta. Due to lack of spacein the Phi Sig house some of theplayers roomed at the Phi Psi, Kap¬pa Sig, and Sigma Chi houses.Wally Kemetick. Earl Shanken re¬tained his longhorse title while broth¬er Courtney took the national all-around and rope climbing titles. Thefencing team won the conference meetby V2 a point and lost the nationalchampionship to Northwestern in aclose meet. Cal Sawyier was probablythe second best player in the Big Tenin tennis. Only Greenberg of North¬western was definitely classier. Ke¬metick, a sophomore, surprised every¬one by winning the championship ofthe number two men on conferencetennis teams.And thus we find ourselves at thebeginning of another year for Chicagoathletes. What it will bring no onewould dare to predict.flllBUniversityStyle Centerof the Middle WestSflOPFor 54 years Chicago men,college men and studentshave made The Hub theirclothing headquarters.

The Intramural Division of the De¬partment of Physical Education at¬tempts to get every male student intosome kind of competitive athletics. Awidely diversified sports program isconducted to further the Intramuralslogan of “Athletics for All.”This year the following schedule isplanned: Autumn Quarter: Touchball,Swimming, Table Tennis, Billiards,Six-man Football, Golf, Horseshoes,Lawn Bowling and Tennis; WinterQuarter: Basketball, Indoor Track,Bowling, Wrestling, Badminton, Hand¬ball, Rifle, Squash and Table Tennis;Spring Quarter: Soft Ball, OutdoorTrack, Golf, Fencing and Tennis.The team sports are conducted infraternity, dormitory, and indepen¬dent leagues. The fraternity leaguesare quite well established. The dor¬mitory league is reoganized everyyear because * of the ever changingpersonnel in the residence halls. Us¬ually, each entry in Burton and mostentries in Judson Court have teams along wdth Snell and Hitchcock Halls.The independent league is made up ofunattached students who band togeth¬er because of some common interest.The individual sports are usually con¬ducted on the straight elimination ba¬sis.
