Vol. 41. No. 11 Z-149 the UcuLu Iflo/ioon.THE UNIVERSITY OF'CHICAGO. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1941 Price Three CentsMass"V"RallyOct. 23Calling for an immediate revision ofthe neutrality act, for convoys, forfull aid to any and all countries thatare at war with Fascism, and for aunited capital and labor, a committeeof representative students on the Uni¬versity Quadrangles have tentativelyscheduled a mass ‘V’ rally for noon,Thursday, Oct. 23, at Mandel Hall.Speakers will be Dr. Francise E.McMahon, Professor of Philosophy atNotre Dame, and Professor CharlesO’Donnel of De Paul.SpeakersOriginally planned by a few campusorganizations, the rally has growninto an all-campus affair, with partic¬ipants presenting various midwayopinions. The program, formulatedyesterday, is addressed to IllinoisSenator Scott Lucas, petitioning himto support the administrations foreignpolicy. The petition asks, further, thatthe United States deliver the goods toEngland in American vessels, and un¬der American convoy if the situationwarrants protection from raiders.Demands HelpThe second part of the program de¬mands help for the countries fighting“Hitlerism,” with the final point de¬voted to an appeal for “an amalgama¬tion of the various forces of America,such as labor, capital, and agriculture,to the primary purpose of defendingour democratic way of life by maxi¬mizing our armament production asonly free men can.”Working with Ridge, who is activein the “Fight for Freedom Commit¬tee,” are Kinereth Dushkin, WebbFiser, James Hurtle, John Porter, JoeMolkup and Annette Weiss. Dushkinis the organization’s secretary, andthe remaining five form an executivecouncil. A Special Editorial:Abolish Social ClubsThe Daily Maroon favors the unqualified abolition of all ex¬clusive clubs for University women. We believe the present clubsystem is contrary to the spirit of democracy. The clubs have beenharmful to their own members, unfair to the great majority ofthe student body and bad for the University.Unlike the fraternities, the clubs have no real function otherthan showing their own members a good time. The fraternitieshave other functions in addition to their social program. Peoplehave to eat and sleep and the fraternities fulfill these needs rea¬sonably well. Therefore the fraternities and clubs are not at allcomparable and should not be considered together.That the clubs are a menace to their own members is bestdemonstrated by the attitude of a large group of women who metin Ida .Noyes Wednesday. Doubtless the charges of snobbishnessagainst clubs sometimes have been exaggerated but neverthelesswhen the clubs’ own members protest the status quo we can’t helpbut believe that “snooty club girls’’ are not unknown.It is true that there will be clickishness after clubs are abol¬ished but we think that sucl^exclusiveness would be tremendouslydifferent from the present club system. The clubs institutionalizeclicks. They often “freeze’’ casual friendships formed in the fresh¬man year. They make moving from one group to another muchmore difficult. They sometimes keep students from acquiring thefull breadth of four years at the university. In extreme cases fouryears of Lamba, Quintuple, Pglu, or some other club have beensubstituted for an education. It has been said that clubs will helpin getting jobs through securing useful contacts. But for everycontact that the club members make, we are sure they lose severalcontacts by being penned within club barriers. Clubs Have PlaceAt UniversityCohen ReturnsToTeachAgainDue to unusual circumstances,Dr. Morris Cohen, Professor Emeritusof philosophy at New York City Col¬lege, is in residence this quarterteaching the Philosophy of History.Usually on campus only during thespring. Dr. Cohen explains philosoph¬ically “Chicago has no spring, sohow could I be here, and people sayyou have wonderful autumns.”Dr. Cohen retired in 1938 afterteaching 35 years. He got his bache¬lors degree at N.Y.C.C. and his doc¬tor’s at Harvard after writing adissertation on Kant’s doctrine of hap¬piness. “I got my doctor’s and thenwas given a job teaching mathematicsfor six years,” he wryly comments.Chapel Union StartsFaculty LuncheonsToday at 12 at reserved tables inHutchinson ComnTons, the Student-Faculty Committee of Chapel Unionpulls up its chairs for the first of theregular Friday noon luncheons forUniversity students and faculty mem¬bers.For this first luncheon, representa¬tive faculty lecturers from all the 4Survey courses will be present, amongwhom will be Dr. Laves, Mr. Lohman,Mr. A. P. Scott, Dr. Ralph Buchs-baum, and Dr. R. J. Stephenson.

Interclub Council, thru Presi¬dent Virginia Allen, yesterday re¬leased a statement to the Maroon de¬fending clubs and stating they havea place at the University.Th6 statement, which according toMiss Allen represents the feelings ofvirtually every club on campus, reads,“Interclub Council feels that there isa place at the University of Chicagofor women’s clubs and that they fill aneed not filled in any other way.”In amplifying her claim that theinsurgents had presented no definiteprogram to discuss. Miss Allen saidthat when both they and the Maroonj arrive at a definite,, planned decision,Interclub will deal with it.Plans Going AheadMeanwhile, a spokesman for thenew movement, when contacted by theMaroon announced that plans for thenew organization were going aheadaccording to schedule and that it washoped a complete program would beready within a few days.ComplicationWhile club girls all over campusargued (tie pros and cons of club bene¬fits, a new complication developed outof the controversy. According to apopular rumor, it was held that sincethe Ida Noyes charter forbidding sor¬orities at the University expired nextyear, a wave of sorority propagandawould sweep over the Quadrangles in1942-43. However, according to DeanBrumbaugh, although there is nothingin the University constitution to pro¬hibit sororities organizing on campus,the administration would not allowclubs to secure houses or become affil¬iated with any national organizations. _That the University would take noofficial action in the club situation un¬less asked, that club ties last aftergraduation, that clubs mean much tothe University in dollars and cents,and that uprisings similar to thepresent one have taken place beforewas evident after a series of inter¬views by the Maroon with alumnaeand faculty members yesterday.Dean of Students Aaron J. Brum¬baugh said, “We’d cooperate with anynew organization the same way as Wehave with new organizations in thepast.” He added that his officehospitable to any organization fillinga definite need.He does believe that there are largeneeds not filled by the clubs but muchdepends upon the objectives and pro¬grams of the clubs themselves.Asked whether or not the Dean’soffice would offer mediation in theproblem, he replied, “The administra¬tion is interested in making an ap¬praisal in the total situation. . .and isquite willing to sit down with anygroup and discuss the issues.” Hestressed, however, that such media¬tion would be available only if the in¬terested parties requested it, and itwould not be foisted upon them. Carleton BeckGod Lets Fools Use TheirTalents In DA TryoutsBy Beata Mueller“God, let fools use their talents,”says the inscription on the wall of theReynolds Club Theatre. D.A. tryoutsthere displayed an assortment of tal¬ents to God and Mr. Randall’s view.One man, judging by his recital ofa love speech from the Merchant ofVenice, will undoubtedly succeed onthe radio, exploiting some savorytoothpaste for lovely, lovely, gleam¬ing teeth. Another, wiggling his headas he pretended to be Shylock, is asure thing to take Father Kilroy’splace in the pulpit at St. Gertrude’sChurch.A tall, thin, girl in black garments,obviously on intimate terms with dearShakespeare, certainly ought to be ahigh school English teacher. Anothernice little girl, with good legs, playedat drama in an inaudible fashion, but would have an undoubted appeal asthird from the left in a musical com¬edy chorus.There was even one man who rodevigorously over emotions of variouskinds. He will make his mark in theworld, I do not doubt, probably guid¬ing streetcars up and down the hillsof San Francisco.Louis Gottschalk' will talk tothe Graduate History Club at itsfirst meeting of the fall tonight.His topic is “Footnotes, Their ap¬propriate Use”. “There are cer¬tain types of books which shouldabsolutely not be hampered withthem, and readers should never beforced by textudl content to readthem,” comments Gottschalk. .. .no alumni gullAuthority for the statement thatclubs “have contributed as entities farout of proportion to men” was Carle-ton Beck, Alumni Secretary. He add¬ed, however, that he knew of noinstitution where either meant so lit¬tle in alumni-build-ups as at thisUniversity.According to Beck, there is no doubtthat clubs are a definite financial ad¬vantage to the University.

Tawney, worldeconomic historian and British socialreformer, explained the war attitudeof the rank and file of the Englishpeople to a University audience, atMandel Hall, last night. His sub¬ject was British Labor and the War:the Present Situation.”Tawney, a labor leader for overtwo decades, explained the laboritesviewpoint precisely, and with humor,by pointing out that a laborite hadcompeting objectives; as did the Irishbattalions, in 1916, who went overthe^top at the Somme shouting “Godsave Ireland, down with the Englishgovernment and to hell with the Ger¬mans.”“He (the laborite) knows that hehas to fight not on one front, but on“Blitz” EconomicsRoundtable SubjectFor SundayAs their topic for this Sunday,October 19, the Chicago Round Tableof the Air will discuss “Economics ofBlitzkrieg.” The discussion is broad¬casted over station W.M.A.Q. at 2:30,Participating in the Round Tablediscussion will be Peter F. Drucker,Professor of Economics at Sarah Law¬rence; Dal Hitchcock, economist andwriter; and Neil H. Jacoby, AssociateProfessor of Finance at the Univer¬sity. The program will be broadcastfrom New York. two, and, if possible, to make a goodjob of both. That has been through¬out the war the position of the Brit¬ish labor movement.”The eminent University of Londonprofessor declared that the labourmovement knows the limitations ofthe English democracy “a good dealmore intimately than the melodious in¬tellectuals \<^ho harrow their audienceswith tearful cries of stinking fish. Butthey also know what has happenedto ... all the parties of the left inevery country which suffered eman¬cipation at the hands of Herr Hit¬ler .. . ”“They mean, before settling theirown oligarchies, first of all to settlehim (Hitler).”Tawney lashed out with a potentflurry of clipped, English sentencesat the idea that this war is just an¬other conflict between two irreconcil¬able nations.“No tyrant has ever told the worldso clearly the future which he is pre¬paring for it, as has the Germanchancellor,” Tawney remarked. Hepunched the argument home by say¬ing that there is no reason to be¬lieve that, once the Nazi system ismaster of one continent, it will becontent with its triumphs. “On thecontrary, the Nazis themselveshave repeatedly told us, they regardEurope as a base from which to con¬quer the world,” he added.From a personal angle, the ruddy,mustached Englishman, born in In¬dia 61 years ago, emphatically hopedthat his country would go down fight¬ing for mankind rather than buypeace at the expense of Hitler’s vic¬tims. Even if the German general(Continued on page 3) / '[Page Two THE DAILY MAROON. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17. 1941Clubs—students to become integrated in the life of theuniversity. But we must never forget for a, minute that the clubs do not go out and huntfor people who need integrated personalities.Although the clubs maintain that they offergreat values in adjustments to the university,the maladjusted people are the last ones whohave any chance of getting into the “better”clubs.Concisely speaking the clubs are devices forgrooming the well-groomed, for adjusting theadjusted. For every student who is orientedthrough the clubs, there are a dozen universitywomen with inferiority complexes from won¬dering why they can’t get into one club or an¬other.The spokesman for the clubs also maintainthat they are necessary for the social programof the university. Such statements are con¬veniently vague. We would like to know spe¬cifically what the clubs have done for the sociallife of all the students in the University.Bad for UniversityThe clubs have been bad for the University.Not having too much to offer in the way of aconcrete program, they have tried to keep go¬ing by attaching themselves to prestige values—^by getting themselves into positions of re¬sponsibility in important University organiza¬tions through what they politely call “politics.”It is bad enough to have politics in so-calledhonor societies that never do much. It is quiteanother thing to have organized groups tryingto get control of worth-while university or¬ganizations like, for example, the Student Set¬tlement Board and the Student Publicity Com¬mittee. These organizations help represent theUniversity to the public. They should be com¬posed of the best people the University can se¬cure. But some of the club women have decidedthat loyalty to their clubs was more importantthan loyalty to the University.We are not denourtfcing any club women asindividuals. We are attacking the principle ofclubs. That is why we are extremely doubtfulabout any suggestions to purify the existingclub system. The system is such that it wouldmake even arch-angels exclusive and inclinedtoward political manipulation.A RelicWe hope the present movement to do awaywith clubs is successful in the near future. Weknow it will ultimately be successful becausethe clubs are not suited to the life of the uni-_versity; they are a relic of the days before thenew plan. It is hard to imagine any systemless adapted to the New Plan which is supposedto give freedom of opportunity to every stu¬dent. Because it does not fit into the New Plan,the club system is a glittering castle built onground that has since turned to quicksand.Therefore because the club system violatesthe broader principles of democracy, because itis unfair to the university, and because it helpsto confuse rather than to orient many new stu-^ dents, we favor its abolition. We sincerely hopethat the present members of the clubs will beable to see which way the wind is blowing. Wehope they will be remembered in the historyof the University as a group of women farsighted enough to recognize that adjustmentsmust be made to changing conditions, ratherthan as a group of die-hards who refused tomarch with evolution.This editorial has been entirely critical; insucceeding editorials we plan to make concretesuggestions directed toward the formation of anew all-campus organization open to all stu¬dents—an organization that will replace theclub system.Int. House Supper“Our House,” as seen by various officials of Inter¬national House, will be the theme of the discussionfollowing the first Sunday night supper of the quarternext Sunday at 6 at International House.At the discussion, Ernest Price, Walter Lichten¬stein, Pat Oliver, Franz Oppenheimer, and Bill Diez willspeak on their particular spheres of activities or in¬terest in the House'. A musical program by Grace Berrywill be given during the supper.Pardon UsIn the special fraternity issue of The Daily Maroonpublished yesterday the paragraph containing the fi¬nancial information about Phi Delta Theta fraternitywas run as the last paragraph of the article about BetaTheta Pi. The Phi Delta Theta financial report appearsbelow.Illinois Beta’s initiation fee is $65.00. This includeslife membership, pin and life subscription to two na¬tional magazines, the Scroll and the Palladium. Pledgesliving in the dorm pay $10.66 monthly for dues, 2 lunch¬es, and a dinner a week, while those living in the citypay $15.16 monthly for dues, four lunches, and a din¬ner each week. Actives living in the house pay $55.10per month for dues, room, and board. City men pay$12.50 per month dues and $10.65 for 4 lunches and 1dinner. Total for year for active men in the chapterhouse (including board, room and dues) is $436.60 oran average of $145.50 per quarter. BrumbaughWhen the fiftieth anniversary had cleared awayand returning students looked around for signs ofstress and strain on the dear old campus, one of thefew changes noticeable was that Dean Works had quit,and Aaron John Brumbaugh was now Dean of Stu¬dents. This seemed somewhat less than thrilling, nodoubt, especially when a Maroon headline proclaimedthat Brumbaugh planned no great changes in the ^ set¬up.Now, the dumbest cockroach in Lexington Hallknew that Brumbaugh wouldn’t proclaim any revolu¬tions. Works has set up an organization for studentdeaning that is about as good as anything in thecountry, and anyhow Brumbaugh doesn’t proclaimrevolutions. He merely sets out to accomplish them, byslow degrees. The most immediate change that stu¬dents are likely to notice is that the Dean of Studentswon’t be an office but a very real person, a quietlyfriendly man who will swivel back from his desk, suckon a pipe, and listen to what they have to say.Talk It OverIn fact, he’s likely to talk this and that over witha lot of students before long, for he has the some¬what radical notion that a Dean of Students ought toknow more things about his students than can be foundin tables of statistics. Furthermore, he actually is inter¬ested in them and their problems. Especially the latter;his idea is that his job is to try to build up a studentlife in the university that will, ideally, take care of allthe needs of students which can’t be met in class¬rooms.Now, that sounds like a fine phrase, but Brumbaughdoesn’t use fine phrases. In fact, he is one of the mostcareful users of words to be found this side of a con¬centration camp; he always means what he says, andusually a good deal more. What that means, concretely,is that the administration is going to be anxious to helpnew organizations, which will fill up some of the pres¬ent gaps, to get started.Take the fraternity-club situation, for instance. Theadministration isn’t going to abolish fraternities orclubs, any more than it would abolish the ASU. But itisn’t very happy about them, because they, or someother social organizations, could obviously be a lotmore helpful than they are. Specifically, Brumbaughwould like to see social organizations that got togetherbecause their members had some common interests,and especially interests which weren’t in direct con¬flict with the supposed end of all students, gaining aneducation. Furthermore, he’d like them to include moreof the student body.Publicly ImportantNaturally, he isn’t going to do any public takingof sides in the present club revolution, but if any sortof a sensible organization is set up by the reformers,the betting would be pretty good that they will getall kinds of cooperation in getting a good program go¬ing. And if any or all of the clubs fold up there willnot be many tears shed for them. The same may wellbe true of fraternities shortly; if they don’t show moreinterests in being parts of a liberal-minded educationalinstitution there will probably be a large spy-glassmounted in the dean’s window to find some new or re¬vived organizations which might be encouraged intothriving competitors.All of which is simply an illustration of the waythings are likely to get done. Keeping a goal in mind,the dean will give a little shove here and a little there,more in the form of encouragement than paternalism,and there will be no authoritarianism, and as littleinitiation of student activities from above as possible.But there will be progress, or something will have togive somewhere. Brumbaugh was once president ofMount Morris College; he thought that it needed to bechanged, and he found that his trustees wouldn’t let himchange it So he simply quit with no job in sight, andcame to Chicago to finish up his Ph.D. The universitygrabbed him and he’s been here ever since. But menwho do things like that aren’t likely to ever be contentwith the status quo.Dean’s ProgramOf course, the Dean’s program will be tied into theUniversity’s. Now, the most revolutionary thing inschool is that little occupier of odd corners, the Four-Year College.-That is the unit within which a generaleducation will be given, eventually, and, correlativelystudents will be expected to either quit school or gointo specialization when they finish. There is a prettygeneral agreement that specialized training can’t begiven adequately in the two years between the Collegeand the Bachelor’s degree, and hence that studentsshould work for an MA if they go on at all.To get this program to function the Four-YearCollege will have to come to think of itself as a unit,and the Bachelor’s Degree will have to lose its im¬portance in student minds as the natural limit of aneducation. The natural conclusion is that there oughtto be student activities which embrace the whole of theFour Ye^ College, and others which include both grad¬uates and under-graduates. At present the Big Ten rul¬ings in the way of athletic teams of either descrip¬tion, and it is interesting to speculate how long theUniversity will let itself be blocked. Brumbaugh sug¬gests that FYC teams may soon play other JuniorCollege Teams, and the Big Ten can expell Chicago forplaying Freshmen if it wants to. Meantime, watch fora growing number of “informal” teams, which don’thave any membership restrictions, and of activitieswhich include both graduates and undergraduates.

Lasker, hasbeen extended two weeks to Sunday,November 2, it was announced today.Decision to extend the show of5,000,000 hardy type chrysanthemumblooms was based on the fact thatrain during the first two weeks of theshow prevented many persons fromseeing it and also because, due to theunseasonable warm weather and theheavy rains, the chrysanthemums onlynow are coming to the peak of theirbloom.The chrysanthemum naming con¬test, a feature of the show which hascreated great interest among visitors,also has been extended. Of the morethan 1,800 varieties in fifteen hugegardens which dot the 416-acre estate,one has been selected for naming bythe public. There are twenty-sixprizes, first of which is a bouquet offlowers delivered to the winner’s homeevery week for a year by the AlliedFlorists Association.The 60-room French ProvincialManor House on the estate also willremain open for inspection by the pub¬lic. Admission to the estate is 50 centsand there is a similar additionalcharge for those desiiing to tour themanor house.Mill Road Gardens is on Old MillRoad, one mile west of WaukeganRoad (42-A) and has ample free park¬ing facilities.Arnold Will DiscussChina's Fate TodayJulean Arnold, American diplomatin the Orient from 1902 to 1940, willdeliver a public lecture on “China’sFate and America’s Future” today at4:30 in the Social Science AssemblyRoom.Mr. Arnold began his career in theFar East when he was commissionedby President Roosevelt as the firststudent interpreter of the UnitedStates government to China in 1902.In 1914, he was appointed commercialattache to China, a post which he held until 1940.The year, 1916 saw him as a dele¬gate to the Pan-Pacific CommercialConference at Honolulu, and threeyears later he received an assignmentto head the American delegation tothe China Tariff Revenue Commissionat Shanghai, a position which heagain held in 1922 and 1926.Three times decorated by the Chi¬nese government, Mr. Arnold is con¬sidered an authority on economic andcommercial China.

Weekly luncheon meet¬ings to which speakers are invited,quarterly lectures, and week-end con¬ferences stimulate the cultural inter¬ests of the group. However, the headsof this organization feel that sociallife must not be neglected, so CalvertClub sponsors socials in Ida Noyes,banquets, dances, sings and othersimilar affairs.Although only on campus for thepast two years, the Hillel Foundationhas become an important factor in thelives of many of the Jewish students.Social and cultural interests are var¬ied to include the wide span of life oncampus.Presents SpeakersHillel presents many speakers atits Firesides, in its Forum, and atmany more intimate discussions. So¬cially, it offers a full program rangingfrom dances to outings.

All he knew was what he readin the Maroon yesterday and whatsome “wild-eyed” young things hadsaid, but he said he believed it was a“tempest in a teapot.”Only person to hold the title ofDean of Women here, Mary Talbot,was emphatic—“Any organization isbetter than the present system ofclubs.”Mrs. James Evans, alumnus ad¬viser of Sigma, Miss Josephine Allin,Quadrangler of class of 1899 andprincipal of Seward school, Mrs. PaulRussell, Esoteric of 1916, and MissHelen Norris, Sigma of 1907 and nowdean of women at CommonwealthEdison, were all vehement in their as¬sertions that club ties reached beyondgraduation. Mrs. Evans even went sofar as to say that her club had meantmore to her since she was graduatedthan when she was in school.Mrs. Charles Gilkey, wife of DeanGilkey and member of Mortar Bbard,and Mrs. Russell both recalled that asituation arose back in 1916 but fellthrough.

FRIDAY. OCTOBER 17. 194115 iPsi, D, U. Win In-M Touchball GamesBy BILL TODDBy whitewashing a somewhat un¬steady Beta outfit 26 to 0, the defend¬ing champions, Phi Gamma Delta re¬deemed themselves for their ^rt-ing loss against the Phi Psis andannounced in no uncertain terms thatthey will fight to retain the crownthey won last year.In other games played yesterday,the Phi Psis trounced the Deke “B”team 18 to 0; Beta “B” edged by PiLam 7 to 6; Chi Psi got by Phi Delton a single safety and D.U, ganged upon Phi Gam “B" 28 to 6.The Phi Gam blitzkrieg began onthe opening kickoff as Rider, Martin,Fons and Wisely collaborated on thefirst score. Incidentally, Martin andFons displayed snappy hipper-dippertactics in the broken field. Wiselywas the Phi Gam defensive stal¬wart. Completing a myriad of long andshort passes, with Bob Cumminsusually on the throwing end, the PhiPsis spent a not too strenuous after¬noon with the Deke “B” seven. Re¬sponsible for the Phi Psi points wereDearon, Shaver and Monaghan.With Berger and Taylor playingprominent parts. Beta “B” defeatedthe Pi Lams by the narrow marginof one point in a late thriller. Kranand Jacobs engineered the Pi Lamtouchdown. The whole affair, though,was a sloppy and slipshod game withboth teams committing a multitude offumbles, incomplete passes and badlyexecuted plays.Yesterday’s games were not com¬parable, in quality, to the contestsof last Wednesday, when speedy ac¬tion and good execution were the or¬der of the day.Lex Offers 50 Movie TicketsTo Winners In Football ContestFootball Contest* Rules and Entry BlankRULES1.

As we understand itone of the other campus publicationswas all lined up to spring a scoopin the near future—namely, that TheUniversity of Chicago is planning todrop out of Big Ten basketball com¬petition.The whole thing is ridiculous. It istrue that the University’s team hasfinished at the bottom of he heap inthe past few seasons. It is also truethat the outlook for this coming sea¬son is not very hopeful. The team,already weak, may be riddled by in¬eligibility. It is also true that theUniversity dropped football at a timewhen the team was in a somewhatsimilar position. Therefore, it is per¬haps only natural that this rumorshould arise at this time.Athletic Director Metcalf has as¬sured us, however, that the thoughtof taking action to drop Big Ten bas¬ketball has never entered the mindsof the administration. In an inter¬view with us, Mr. Metcalf quotedPresident Hutchin’s statment in hisannouncement on “The State of theUniversity” LX; “The University hasthe highest regard for the 'WesternIntercollegiate Conference, known asthe Big Ten. It believes that the in¬stitutions composing it have perform¬ed and are performing a great sertvice to intercollegiate sport in lead¬ing the way to hijjher standards.Withdrawal from intercollegiate foot¬ball does not mean withdraw'al fromthe Conference. The University willcontinue its association with the mem¬bers of the Big Ten wherever it ispracticable to do so.”As far as basketball is concerned,Mr. Metcalf assures us that it ispracticable to continue as a mem¬ber of the Big Ten: “The spectatorinterest is high; the boys like to playagainst Big Ten competition; Con¬ference competition does the boys alot of good morally and physically.”It is rumors such as these whichtear down morale among both spec¬tators and players.

AlthoughOberlin has had the advantage ofsome earlier training this fall, thelocal team is highly enthusiastic andconfident of victory.but this sort of gossip is just as harm¬ful if not more so.
