Huth, Director of the HomeStudy Department, announced yester¬day that tuition for all students in thearmy below the rank of commissionedofficers will be halved in the future.Consequently, the bill for army stu¬dents will now be $10 instead of theusual $20, plus the $3 registration feewhich has in no way been changed.The loss.of revenue caused by thisreduction is not being made up by thearmy or any other government agency.It is the result of the university’spolicy to prevent students from beingentirely separated from their educa¬tion. In the words of a spokesmanfor the Home Study Department, “Itis merely being done in recognition ofservice to the defense program.’’Open CivilServiceTestOffering positions at salaries rang¬ing from 1800 to 2000 dollars a year,the United States Civil Service Com¬mission announces open comjietitiveexaminations for selections of Jun¬ior Professional Assistants.Although these examinations areusually given only once each year,registers compiled from the examina¬tion given during the last spring havebeen already exhausted, and in antici¬pation of continuing heavy demands,that examination is announced to aug¬ment the registers of eligible men.Closing date for application is No¬vember 3, and the examination willprobably be given sometime in Decem¬ber. Prospects for acceptance of thosewho score high grades in the exam¬inations are very goo<l, and registersof those who are eligible for appoint¬ment will i)robably be ready as earlyas February.Qualifications for applicants in¬clude citizenship, voting age, comple¬tion of a full four year course lead¬ing to a bachelor’s degree prior toJuly 1, 1942, and goo<l physical health.The examinations will be given onthe Univer-ity campus, as well as ifprincipal cities throughout the UnitedStates.Detailed information concerning theexamination can be obtained fromLeonard 1>. White, Professor of Pub¬lic .\dministration. Social Science 408. I Competent Personj When the course is completed. Homej Study will ask a competent person inthe vicinity of the army camp, in mostI cases a high school principal, to actI as proctor.I The only proof of service in thei army the department requires is thatj the student’s commanding officer cer-! tify his rank. Home Study expressedI the opinion that most of the eighteenI privates and non-commissioned officers' now taking courses are doing so toj continue their college work and notI to advance in the army. The offeri will remain as long as the presentemergency exists. Hold Big Rally In Mandel—Warner, McMahon,Will SpeakFaculty AsksRooseveltFor ActionY.W.C.A.

An added helpin orienting the new student intoY.W.C.A. is the handbook describingthe “Y’s’’ activities, which was handedout at the Circus Supper last night.One of the main activities is the workdone with the Settlement children andthe holiday parties given for them at jIda Noyes Hall. “...for the purpose of strengthen¬ing the President’s position on foreignpolicy and to aid in preparing Amer¬ican public opinion for graver even¬tualities which we believe lie ahead,’’11 members of the University facultyare circulating a petition to the Presi¬dent and Congress containing threepoints.These three points are as follows:1. Immediate action by our navy todestroy all enemy vessels and aircraftwhich threaten our vital sea lanes, asrecommended by the Secretary of theNavy.2. Retention of all men now servingin our armed forces, and removal ofall geographical restrictions on theuse of our armed forces, as recom¬mended by the Chief of Staff of theArmy.3. All other action necessary to as¬sure the defeat of Nazi Germany.Professor AssertIn the body of the petition the pro¬fessors a.sscrt “that there can be no jreal or lasting peace for us or the Irest of the world until Nazism is jdestroyed.’’ Working on that assump¬tion, they continue that the President |and especially the Congre.ss have been |far behind the opinion of the country,:pointing to the Lend-Lea.se bill, thetransfer of destroyers, the selective;service act, the acquisition of bases, jthe occupation of Iceland, and the eco-;nomic sanctions against Japan as evi-jdence.The Professors whose names aresigned to the document are John M.Heal, Botany; George G.

He was al¬so among the troops who, in thespring of the same year, were drivingon Rostov and the entire Ukraine.Rostov ImportantIn comparing that war with theNazi attack on Russia today, Bobrin¬skoy pointed out that the capture ofRostov, key city for the Ukraine cam-l)aign, might prove more serious forthe Russians than the fall of Moscow.“If Rostov is captured, the Germanswill be in a good position to cut offcommunications between central and18% IncreaseIn TheologiansAlthough this year’s enrollment inthe Divinity School of the Universityshows an 18% increase over last year’sregistration, this fact has nothing todo with the draft situation. This an¬nouncement has come from the officeof Dean Colwell of the DivinitySchool, following his careful investiga¬tion of the subject in collaborationwith E. C, Miller, registrar of theUniversity.One of the main reasons presentedby the survey for the decision reachedwas the fact that all of the new stu¬dents are previous theological stu¬dents, now continuing with graduatework; it was decided, therefore, thatthe increase was definitely not due tothe enrollment of new students whoturned to religion to avoid militaryservice.The gain in registration, which hasbrought the Divinity School enroll¬ment up to a total of 176, can best be jdescribed as a natural increase in a |gradual trend over a period of years, j DA Hold Tea TodayFirst in 3 YearsD.A. will hold the first of a seriesof teas, to be given every two weeksin Mitchell Tower this afternoon from3:45 to 5:30. These bi-weekly teas inthe Tower were once a D.A. traditionand are now being revived after alapse of three dry years.It is hoped that these teas will, asformerly, promote not only discussionof the problems of dramatic tech¬nique, lighting, and stage mechanicsthat arise, but also the members’closer understanding of each otherand their organization.All members of the Dramatic As¬sociation and those interested in itare encouraged to come.At least four members of theUniversity’s branch of the ChicagoFellowship of Reconciliation willattend the city meeting of that or¬ganization tonight at St. Paul’sMethodist Church.

This may sound likea paradox,’’ he went on, “but the cap¬ture of Rostov a n d a subsequentlysuccessful campaign in the Ukrainewould, in my opinion, be more im¬portant to the invaders than the fallof Moscow.’’In explaining that loyalty to Russiawas based on national rather than po¬litical sympathies, Bobrinskoy said “itis safe to say that on the whole thereis great unanimity among Russians ofall political creeds” concerning aid toRussia now. He added that “Aid toRussia” groups all over the worldhave received donations from red andwhite Russians alike, while virtuallythe entire Russian-language presssupports the USSR today, regai’dlessof what a paper’s previous editorialpolicy may have been.Warns of FutureIn returning to his earlier state¬ment that American and British sup¬plies are vital to Russia’s future, theSanskrit professor elaborated bywarning that if these supplies are notforthcoming, “there is a great dangerof Russia coming to some kind ofseparate agreement with Hitler aftera few months.”Enrollment UpIn SpanishSpanish enrollment has increasedagain this year, and one full sectionhas been added since last year. Gen¬eral reason, according to cards filledout by students, is the increased in¬terest in South America due to thepresent international situation.Two years ago there were two sec¬tions, last year it jumped to four.Typical answers to the question “whyare you taking this course?” were,“I like language,” “It sounds so pret¬ty,” “I need to graduate,” “Some dayI’m going to ’ be an ambassador tosome South American country,” and“It’s good for you, culturally, Imean.”Students, who two years ago wouldhave chosen some other language as aminor or prerequisite for teaching,are now turning to Spanish. In com¬menting, members of the RomanceLanguage depai-tment stressed thefact that the situation was only tem-porarj-^ and that languages and lit¬erature of occupied countries will ofnecessity continue. I Climaxing a week-long “V for Vic¬tory” campaign, a student committeesupporting a three-fold aid the alliesprogram will sponsor a rally in Man-del Hall at noon today.The committee, composed solely ofstudents acting independently of anyother organization affiliated with theFight for Freedom Committee, theASU, the White Committee, or anyother political group, is campaigningfor an immediate repeal of the neu¬trality act, an all-inclusive Lench-Lease bill for all nations fighting Fas¬cism, and a speed-up of production ofdefense materials.Headed by Don Ridge, the commit¬tee includes students representativeof every corner of campus life, suchas Kinereth Dushkin, Webb Fiser,James Burtle, John Porter, Joe Mol-kup, and Annette Weiss.Rally ProgramThe rally program will presentspeakers from three representativemid-western schools as speakers forthe day. Opening the speaking, W.Lloyd Warner, professor of anthro¬pology and sociology, will address thestudent audience on “MaximizingProduction.” Dr. Charles O’Donnel,professor of philosophy at De PaulUniversity, will speak on the secondpoint of the interventionists program,“The Second Lend-Lease Bill”.The final speaker.

Lastweek we promised to write an editorial makinga few concrete suggestions on how such an or¬ganization could be of the most service to all thestudents.We are glad that the leaders of the newgroup are not interested in fighting the clubs.While we believe that the downfall of the clubsystem is practically certain, we think the newgroup should show the student body that theycan offer a wider and more inclusive social pro¬gram rather than waste their energy in openwarfare with the clubs.The new organization will have plenty ofwork to do without trying to fight the clubs.If the new organization offers a good socialprogram to all the students in the university,we are sure that the club system will fall topieces without anyone trying to push it over.A Large GroupAmong the problems facing the new or¬ganization will be managing a large group.There is a constant danger that the new groupwill become too large and cumbersome to runsmoothly. A possible remedy for this problemmay be breaking the new organization up intosections that will hav^ separate leadership.Such breaking down of the group should notbe objectionable if every separate section of theorganization is open to anyone who wants tojoin.We hope that the new organization will nottry to imitate the program of the clubs.While some of the members of the group willdoubtless profit from their past experiences inorganizing club activities, we hope that theywill think of original ideas for a social programthat will appeal to more students. We hope thatthey will not confine their activities to plan¬ning dances.Invite Club Women In Lexington Hall, the place where you-know-whatdoes you-know-what, we recently recognized three dif¬ferent varieties. There was a lightcat named Julius which was knownto be an habitue of the Lexington Hallbakery shop. There was a brindlecat named Julius which was known tobe an habitue of the Pulse office. Therewas a dirty gray cat named Julius,strictly a bush-league product, whichwas known to be an habitue of the— Juiius-qwner Maroon office.These three minor animals. . . made a habit of knocking themselves out by chas¬ing pieces of paper, string, phone slugs, and othervegetables such as the Maroon staff all over the Maroonoffice.It became a common cry around the Maroon office,when cats came in: “He’s gonna knock himself out!He’s gonna knock himself out!” Occasionally he (Julius)did knock himself out, and then everybody was happy,like a football forecaster.To get back to the business about you keeps learningthings, however, last night I kept learning things.Stuart and Marshall brought home the minor cat namedJulius, the bush-league product. This was all very fineby me, inasmuch as I was attending a meeting of a newfunction called Trend, a magazine to which I have beeninvited, inasmuch as I am a very serious writer. It wasall very fine by me that they should bring home this mi¬nor cat called Julius for the simple reason that I wasnot there.After the meeting... of this new function called Trend, we all went overto see Jane Tallman, where we all met a very fine beigecat named Julius, a comparatively neurotic and in- jcipiently psychotic animal. Julius chases light-chains, or iat least he did last night. He has been known to chasea light-chain as far as across the room, sometimes di¬agonally. He also likes brown paper bags, which he habi¬tually enters, wherein he is thoroughly enclosed by alland sundry who are present, since the assembled com¬pany is the proud possessor of a stapling machine,with which they thoroughly seal the cat in the bag.Whereupon the beige cat named Julius puts up quite afight and eventually tears the hell out of the bag, re¬leasing himself. But Julius is neurotic because he isreally a Juliana cat which people call Julius.This... is one of the things I kept learning last night. Afterleaving Jane’s place, I trundled home to my pallet ofstraw. This is a bundle of straw shaped in the form of apallet with a flowered chintz slipover, on which I sleep.Last night it was a bundle of straw shaped in the formof a pallet with a flowered chintz slipover and a dirtygray cat named Julius, strictly a minor-league individu¬al.Now this particular Julius, despite obvious disad¬vantages such as mange and dirt and a generally untidyappearance, had certain positive qualities, chiefly an ex¬tremely extroverted personality, a good education, anda gift of gab. Because we considered each other com¬plementary personalities, we formed an immediate,almost lasting friendship, manifested by me in the giftof a high-quality phone slug attached to a piece of low-quality string and by Julius in the peculiar continualgargling noise which cats seem to affect.Paftullo came overHe took the top of the pants and I caught Julius.While Pattullo held the top open, I dropped Julius in.It was just an experiment in probability. We wanted tosee whether Julius would fall down each leg an equalnumber of times. He didn’t. He only fell down once.Through the left leg, the one he had already showed heliked.We think it was wise to invite women whostill belong to clubs into the organization. Itseems to us that a very large proportion of thewomen in the clubs are “on the fence”. They areall in favor of the new organization but still seevalues in club membership. We think that theircooperation should help to make the new or¬ganization successful and should promote abetter understanding between club women andthe rest of the campus.The success or failure of the new organiza¬tion will depend largely on the kind of coopera¬tion it gets from the unaffiliated women on cam¬pus. If they are not misled by any mistakenideas of “independence”, and work with thenew group, we are sure that with the rightkind of leadership it will be almost certain tosucceed. After that, Julius got mad. Something about beingcooped up in an old pants-leg while the rest of uswere outside laugh¬ing at him. Hewent off in a huffPattullo went t(bed, andiputonmjold flowered chint:slipover and gradu¬ally made myselihorizontal on thestraw.In about fiveminutes I heardJulius go to thebathroom andbrush his teeth. ...rationalistThen he came back, sat down on the foot of my slipoverand said, “I’m sorry I got mad. Stud.” iBe A Calorie-Counter, GirlsYou’ll Benefit In The EndBy JANE SEKEMAPractically every young woman oftoday is blessed with a zeal for self-improvement. We’re not speaking ofthe internal brand of self-improve¬ment (that’s our business and we don’thave too much zeal for it unless we’regrinds); we’re talking about the typeknown as external. We’re all prettykeen on the things we can buy to im¬prove the old foundation. Oh yes andwe’re pretty much interested in thethings we can do to be improved. Per¬haps a little re-phrasing is necessary:We’re pretty much interested in thethings other people can do to us. Butthe improvements we ourselves canmake—using our own will power andenergy—oh sure we’re interested inthem—as theories. We enjoy chattingabout a new diet, some grand exer¬cises, and how so and so lost so manypounds and so many inches—but asfor tackling them ourselves—well per¬haps we’ll get around to it next sum¬mer. Next summer will be just fine,but you know the old saying: “No“That’s all right, Julius, old man,”I said. “We all make little mistakeslike that sometimes.”“I didn’t mean to be anti-.'^cientific,”he said, “but how can you expect arationalist to endorse logical positiv-Ksm?”“I don’t know, Julius,” I said. “Ijust don’t know.”Now,... at peace with Pattullo, at peacewith Julius, at peace with the Maroon,Plus, Trend, Bend and Schmend, Idropped swiftly and surely throughthe dark reaches of the night, falling,always falling, dipping deeper anddeeper, falling asleep.In a minute I woke up.

Why not takethat zeal for self-improvement andsteer it in the channels where it be¬longs. In other words: take stock ofyourself; get a-hold of yourself; andget going: you—not somebody else.Probably it’s very obvious whereyou should begin.

Chi RhoSigmaIn 1903, five girls decided that theywanted to be together and that theywanted to spend their college yearstogether, so upon entering the Univer¬sity of Chicago, they organized ChiRho Sigma, one of the oldest women’sclubs on campus. In accordance withtheir first declaration of aims, mem¬bers of Chi Rho Sigma have continuedto maintain their desire of promotingsocial life on campus.Activities of the group are variedand frequently change from year toyear as the interests of the memberschange. Girls from Chi Rho Sigmacan be found in practically every or¬ganization on campus, but particular¬ly in the YWCA, Calvert Club, DA,and Federation. Social events of theyear usually include a Founder’s DayLuncheon, Mother’s Day Tea, SpringFormal, Christmas Party, Loan FundParty, a dinner the night of IF Sing,and a Harvest Home Dinner in theFall quarter.Senior BraceletEvery senior who graduates is giv¬en a Senior Bracelet to commemorateher years on campus and outstandingseniors are awarded a “C” guard toshow the honor paid them by theirclub. The giving of these prizes wasbegun in the past by girls who havesince become alumnae. The alumnaenow number over 300 and assist theclub by publishing news bulletins, adirectory, and by sponsoring manysocial affairs.Officers of Chi Rho Sigma for theyear 1941-42 are Virginia Allen, pres¬ident, Bertie Howell, Vice President,Anne Schwinn, Corresponding Secre¬tary, Jeanne Scharbau, Recording Sec¬retary, Pat Reeve, Treasurer.

ReorganizedPU MeetsPolitical Union will open its firstyear under the new reorganizationplan when the initial meeting of theyear is held today at Law North at3:30.The discussion will probably centerabout some question of the administra¬tion’s foreign policy. Though a re¬organization was voted at the end oflast year, the compromise plan whichis modeled on Congress, has not yetbeen accepted by the assembly.History OfInstituteBecause a brilliant man earnestlybelieved the theory that “the responsi¬bility of the present is to learn ofman’s past efforts to make life morelivable,” the Oriental Institute of theUniversity was founded in May, 1919.The man responsible was James Hen¬ry Breasted, professor of Orientallanguages, whose great work madethe institute a central research lab¬oratory for the study and interpreta¬tion of objects and records recoveredby archeological investigation.One of the most interesting of thevarious halls of the institute is, per¬haps, the Iranian (Persian) Hall, lo¬cated in the far northwest corner ofthe building. The sculptures in thisroom are part of those excavatedand brought back to Chicago by theOriental Institute’s Iranian Expedi¬tion. They were found on the site ofthe fortified palace terrace at Per-sepolis, constructed originally about520-515 B.C. by Darius the Great andadded to by his son Xerxes and hisdescendants.Warn Girls Not To OverdoBusiness Of Slicing Off Fat(('ontinued from page two)jolly; but you can bet they’d be twiceas jolly if they were thin.If you’re sufficiently a-boil with en¬thusiasm we may embark on the reno- jvation program at this point. A reno-1vation, to be renovation, must include |both diet and exercise. Diet is per- jhaps the more important of the twosince you have more to gain in theway of losing (don’t be confused) bythis method. So let’s concentrate ondiet and consider exercises at a laterdate.A warning is in order before yougo into your diet, of course. Don’toverdo it. College girls need plenty ofenergy, and if you cut down on yourfood intake too drastically you won’thave the necessary oomph, and, con¬sequently, your work will suffer. Of;more importance is the fact that you jmay impair your health—permanently j—by too strenuous a diet. So take it j.slowly. ITake it slowly, yes; but take itsurely. Probably the most obvious ofthe diet dangers that you will encoun¬ter is the danger of slipping. If youcan come face to face with a bag of ;potato chips and say no, you will have jpassed the first crisis and really be !on the way. For most of us it isn’t as jeasy as all that. When your friendsare sipping cokes and sodas a glass oforange juice or black coffee looks pret-1ty bleak. The important thing first of 'all is to convince yourself that it’sreally worth while. And secondly, toremain in that frame of mind. If youlearn to think about, really concen¬trate on what you eat, temptation willbe a lot easier to scare off.Become a calorie-counter. The cal¬orie content of some of the things youoat will amaze you. For instance, did !you know that while you nonchalantlysip through a chocolate malted milkyou’re adding 400 calories to yourwaistline worries? If you simply ac¬quaint yourself with the number ofcalories in rich foods you’ll be goinga long way towards avoiding them.Of course you probably have but afaint idea of the number of calories invarious foods. However, that isn’t amajor problem since calorie lists areeasy to obtain. The Bookstore offersa pocket-size booklet (at two bits)which will give you calories from soupto nuts.The daily intake of the average in¬dividual should be around 2500 calor¬ies. If you want to lose weight, cutyour calories down to 1600 or 1200 a day. You’ll still have plenty to eat ifyou choose wisely. Select foods witha low calorie content, but be sure youhave a balanced diet.Carry your calorie list with youwherever you go. Before you give yourorder have the figures down pat soyou know what you’re doing. Make alist of your calorie intake at each mealevery day, and keep your list from dayto day, watching the scales at thesame time. If you keep your maximumcalorie intake around 1200, you oughtto lose two or three pounds a week.Don’t be discouraged because itsounds like a lot of bookkeeping; cal¬orie counting is really fun. And itpays in satisfaction in the end! Persian EmpireWhen the great Persian Empirewas overthrown by Alexander theGreat in 331 B.C. the terrace was de¬stroyed. Recovered from these ruinsand on exhibition in the hall are manyfragments of friezes, lintels, inscribedslabs, a large stone bull head weigh¬ing ten tons, and one of the recliningcats which flanked the doorway ofXerxes’ dwelling.However, the Iranian Hall is by nomeans the only room of interest at theinstitute, since the museum containssome 42,000 representative objects ina collection from Egypt, Palestine,Syria, Turkey, Iraq, and Iran.

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 23. 1941The ‘C’ Man’s ViewpointBy COURTNEY SHANKEN(Eds. note: This is the second in our series of articles by Major “C’’Men on the athletic problem. Courtney Shanken is captain of the gymnasticsteam. National All Around gymnastics champion and National Rope Climbingchampion. Courtney, a student marshal, also holds an academic scholarshipin the Social Sciences.)If I felt the Maroon of 1941-1942 was opening another destructive cam¬paign of criticism, this time at the athletes, I would not bother to answerWerner Baum’s letter. This kind of poison must cease flowing and must notenter the veins of the athletic situation because it will not solve our problem.' You will And my reply, therefore, to do some “muck-racking” but it mainlyattempts to lay down a concrete program in order to improve athletic condi¬tions at the University of Chicago.If the Maroon is sincere in doing something about athletics here I willmatch its sincerity with the following exposition. In it, I place much of theblame for our miserable athletic condition upon the past Daily Maroons andex-student bodies. The various instances cited to show the Maroon where ithas been guilty of fostering an “apathetic school spirit” are not to ridicule itbut to show its present handlers the path they should take. At times my criti¬cism is vigorous, but only for the sake of pointing out how potent the DailyMaroon of ’41-’42 can be to improve the athletic situation.The “C”-man’s TroublesThe athletic situation at the University, if you consider wins and losses,speaks for itself. But to the “C”-man this is not what troubles him. His wor¬ries lie chiefly in the fact that the athletic situation is as follows: (1) there isa lack of school spirit in the students and athletes; (2) there are not enoughfellows coming out for varsity competition.What can we do about this?First of all the Daily Maroon, if it believes that competing in varsity ath¬letics is a wholesome activity, should take the following course. It ought to in¬spire students to wdn a Major “C”; it ought to encourage students to partici¬pate in varsity athletics. In the past, the Daily Maroon sport page has been avery poor one. It has been filled with everything but news of its varsity ath¬letes. Articles concerning other teams have appeared at the expense of neg¬lecting news concerning our teams. Often there has been a mis-reporting ofthe facts. Your sin throughout has been a lack of interest in your athletes.You have not given the athletes something to strive for. It is up to the presentDaily Maroon to put some meaning in the phrase, “For Chicago, I Will.” Thoseare the words past Chicago athletes made sacrifices for (without endangeringtheir academic pursuits).Maroon Continues De-emphasisThis year I thought the Daily Maroon with men like Philbrick, Himmel.Reynolds and Baum would be the bulwark of a drive for a rejuvenated schoolspirit. But alas, the Maroon appears to continue with its de-emphasis ofathletics. For instance, the Maroon has not told the student body whatoutstanding freshman athletes are doing what. What are your varsity ath¬letes doing now? Don’t report about one or two men but mention the workof the entire squad.Tell me the Daily Maroon has just got off to a bad start! Tell me theMaroon is going to take interest in its athletes!To the student body I can only say that you provide the school with itsathletic material. When Chicago teams make a poor showing it is a reflectionupon your athletic prowess and virility for you are the source of its athletes.Moreover, the student body’s support of its teams has not been an admirableone. And to those members of the student body who have the ability for var¬sity athletics but do not come out, I would use some social pressure to seethat they do.The Athletes’ ProgramTo the athletes, our program is clear. Our participation in sports hasbeen well rewarded and we will persuade other fellows to share in our ex¬periences. We do not care what happens to one another. We are going to sup¬port and help one another. Phi Sigma Deita, Psi U..D. U. "B" Win In TouchballSoccer TeamPlays WheatonA much better trained soccer team,raring to go, will make the auto tripto Wheaton, Illinois Saturday, confi¬dent of a solid victory against Whea¬ton College in their second successiveexcursion. Wheaton has experienceagainst the more aggressive easternoccer teams such as Princeton, Colum¬bia, and Cornell, but with Chicago’sundefeated status previous to theOberlin game last Saturday, whichthey lost after a tough tussle 2-1, thelocal squad remains the favorite toscore a smashing defeat of the Whea¬ton team.Shifts MadeA number of shifts have been madeto fill a gap caused by the absence ofDick Bovbjerg, veteran soccer man,who leaves for the United States NavalReserve Station next week. Tom Hy¬man, left half back will be switchedto center forward. This change isbeing made to give the team the extrapunch it needs for the final plungeneeded for the score. Coach Erdmanncommented that in the Oberlin gamethe team was down the field seven oreight times but was unable to musterthe final punch necessary for thescore. Hyman is an excellent goalhooter as w’as viewed in the Oberlingame.Ed Gilk will be given the right wingposition instead of left wing, GeorgePeck will be put in left Wing and Mar¬tin Weiner will be given a regular po¬sition at left half back.Plea For PlayersCoach Erdmann and Captain JoeTvrzicky are issuing a plea for moresoccer players who are interested inthe game and calls the attention of theforeign students at the University tothe fact that the American game ofsoccer is known as “football” in Eur¬ope and other foreign lands. Practiceis held daily at Greenwood Field at60th & University Avenue at 3:30.Wheaton’s squad is similarly a cos¬mopolitan team composed chiefly ofministers’ sons from China, India, andSiam. Leaving at 8:00 Saturdaymorning, the team will arrive on timeto take the field at 10:00 when thegame is scheduled to start. Fisher, Balia AreStars of the DayBy BILL TODD“Fisher was hot”—this briefly ex¬plains why Phi Sigma Delta over¬whelmed Kappa Sigma to the tune of12 to 6, Wednesday, in a footballgame which was closely contested ev¬ery inch of the way. The Psi U. team,exhibiting no mercy, slaughtered theSigma Chis 20 to 6. In the third gameof the day, the DU “B”s’, showingmore class than a large percentageof the “A” teams, defeated the ZBTsin a wild and wooly opus.The Phi Sigs unveiled an offensethat clocked with precision a largepercentage of the time, an offenseboasting of spinners, reverses andfrequent use of the man in motiontheme. In Fisher the Phi Sigs pos¬sess an able passer who let loose twotouchdown heaves, one to Barrashand the other to Cohen, and a n\anwho played well defensively allthrough the game. Elongated BobMoore rushed effectively for the Kap¬pa Sigs while Norm Phillips passedwell and shouldered most of the of¬fensive burden for the losers. Buck-ford clamped onto a pass for the Kap¬pa Sigma touchdown.Important factors in the decisivePsi U victory were Senn, McLollanand Barnard whose efforts accountedfor all of their team’s points.
