Nelson Metcalf, whenquestioned about Ward’s column inyesterday’s Tribune, emphasizing theimportance of football as training foranny officers.“When a national demand arises forathletically trained young men thearmy, the navy, and the marine andair corps turn first to the campuseswhere men still believe courage inthe give and taken of fierce body con¬tact and the ability of youth to thinkfast are qualities which can be bestdeveloped on a gridiron,” is the wayWard put it.Six-man is doing a good job, betterthan intercollegiate competition inthat it affords the training to people Iwho haven’t had it and probably |wouldn’t get it in a school with a Ivarsity team. But the strain and pres-1sure of intercollegiate competition isinvaluable in preparing a man forarmy leadership, he stated.Metcalf went on to question, how¬ever, whether it was a university’sl)rime purpose, even in these times, todevelop good officer material.“One Scientist Worth 10,000 tem of calling defensivestrengthens the parallelism. signalsMetcalf.ayreea with WardBlast VictimsOfficers”“The work of one scientist at the jI’niversity of Chicago may be worth |10.000 officers,” Metcalf said. |The parallel between football and |war is very close, Metcalf mentioned.;To prove his point, he presented a jbook written by a former army officer!and former football coach at West iPoint in which a chapter was devoted |to this parallelism.

The Councildoes not intend to set the 28th as thedate for future IF Balls, but intendsI to leave the choice flexible.Planning a Ball that will exceed inglamour all previous IF functions, thedance committee has secured the grandballroom of the Stevens Hotel for thisyear’s dance. Extra floor space whichthis ballroom affords will eliminatethe crowded dancing conditions whichhave existed in previous years..Although a band has not yet beencontracted for, negotiations with sev¬eral of the country’s leading orches-j tras are under way, and the commit-I tee promises the booking of a top-I flight aggregation.RegistrationsI Announcing that registration forI comprehensive examinations to be! given in December closes Novem¬ber "i, the registrar’s office asksthat students register at once inI Cobb 100.The Social Sciences Divisionalj Elxamination will be given in De-i cember and will not be given inj March as heretofore,i Spanish 101-102-103 will be giv-i en in December in addition to theother sequence examinations whichare regularly scheduled for the' Autumn Quarter. Hoeppner. . .founded opera hourPlan NewOpera Hours“A Masked Ball,” an opera by Verdiwhich hasn’t been given in Chicagofor ten years, will constitute the firstprogram when Opera Hours are re¬sumed next Wednesday.The idea of a program to acquaintstudents in advance witl^ the currentrepertoire of the Chicago’Opera Com¬pany, was conceived by Mr. Hoeppnerat the information desk, 4 years ago.Then last year the Music Departmenttook it over. The plot and an analysisof it, together with illustrations at thepiano and phonograph will be pre¬sented by Cecil Smith.This year programs will be free.Previous charges of 25c are to bedropped, but so are the old trimmingsof tea and guest artists. The five con¬secutive “hours” will be held in theReynolds Club lounge at 4:30. With a name, “Keystone,” and aconstitution the hitherto nebulouswomen’s federation became a realityyesterday as Dean Scott gave the or¬ganization official campus recogni¬tion.Claiming in their constitution that“the purpose of the organization is toprovide a democratic program of so¬cial activities for all women of theUniversity of Chicago,” Keystone willhold an open meeting at 4:30 thisafternoon in Ida Noyes Theatre tonominate and elect officers for thecoming year. In announcing the meet¬ing, Shirlee Smith, one of the leadersof the new club movement, stated thatnone of the original proponents of thenew system would stand for office butwould, instead, serve in an advisorycapacity.Eight CommitteesEight committees, each serving aseparate purpose, will function insidethe larger organization and it shallbe the prerogative of any member tojoin any committee. The committees,in which membership is open to anyKeystone member, are Orientation,Program, Social Relations, Arrange¬ments, Publicity, Financial, Secretari¬al, and Charity.The body of members, termed.-th(y.Assembly, will be directed by theboard of directors, consisting of theheads of the eight committees and achairman who will not be affiliatedwith any committee. This chairmanwill act as spokesman for the boardand will in all ways represent Key¬stone.No Annual DuesAfter this initial election, it isplanned that nominations will takeplace the second week of the SpringQuarter, with elections following, oneweek later. Miss Smith stressed thepoint that there will be no annualdues, although to finance a given ac¬tivity those participating will be as¬sessed a sum determined by the board.In addition to the regular general as¬sembly meetings held the first andthird week of every month, there willbe committee meetings on the secondand fourth week.Maroon Survey Reveals LibraryLighting Is Generally InadequateBy RAY POPLETTLighting facilities in Harper Read-j ing Room are inadequate, a MaroonI .survey showed today.

He first became in¬terested in this problem following theassassination of King Alexander ofYugoslavia and French prime minis¬ter premier Louis Barthou in 1934.The assassins were Italians andHungarians, but the two governmentsrefused to surrender them to Frenchauthorities because they were in sym¬pathy with the men.

OCTOBER 29. 1941Page TwoBy RUTH WEHLAN andDOROTHY TUELLThe toughball games Friday were agreat success. Four teams, two sexes,played two games, the scores of whichhave been relayed to us in a late sportsflash—very late. The Shiftless Skonksdefeated The Polecats 2-0, by virtueof Head Skonk Helen Pearce’s brilliantplaying. She scored a safety on BillOostenbrug^s rear. The contest be¬tween The Varmints and The Weaselsresulted in a tie.After the games, everybody retiredto the beach, from whence they wentto the C-dance, blue jeans and all.Shirlee Smeeth was easily the best-dressed girl there, what with her levisand white gloves. We didn’t knowit was to be a formal dance, or wewould have worn our jeans.Stud Ruml, Bob Purintun, and EdRachlin are back from the Bad Lands,where they spent the week-end hunt¬ing. We asked them what they shot,and they said, “No one interesting.”We have it straight from the grape¬vine that they bagged eleven pheas¬ants. They also potted two skunks,which renders them eligible for mem¬bership in the sophomore men’s hon¬orary society. Ed Rachlin is now re¬ceiving callers in his Shoreland suitewhere he is confined with a cold. StudRuml should be receiving callers inhis Blackstone Mansions slipcover, be¬cause he has a cold, too.Come Saturday night, the Ellis Co¬op will indulge in an Academic Orgyat tneir open house. We use the term“open” advisedly, for anyone not pos¬sessing seventy-five cents must takehis fun and his woman elsewhere.Otherwise, all schizophreniacs andother people are invited to the “Dark-town Thomists’ Ball.”In our midst...is the poet laureate (by his ownnomination) of Indiana. We always-thought James Whitcomb Riley oc¬cupied that niche in the literary hallof fame, but Roy Emery, who writesmasterpieces of poetic art on Butterymatchbooks, claims the spot. Concern¬ed chiefly with the abstract virtuesand the law school, Mr. Emery haspromised to release for publicationsome of his choicer verses.Johnny Leggitt and Jack Shiltonare the latest entrepreneurs to enterthe record service business. They willsupply, for a fee, music for almostany sort of social affair. We are quitecertain that this is a good thing. Theycouldn’t be worse than Eddie Chase^and his life insurance. At a tea dancewho wants to insure a year-old infantand a 75 year old grandparent for onedollar a month?Really, the Bursar's office... is a fine place. Besides pickledgrasshoppers they have laundry. Un¬der the table opposite the InformationDesk is stacked all the laundry to besent home. If you get there before theRailyway Express man, you can slideunder the table and find out who sendsdirty shirts where. That reminds usof the boy who went to school inSwitzerland with Stuart Schulberg. It, seems he had two pairs of socks. Hewore each pair one week and thensent it home in his weekly letter forhis mother to wash.They were black silk,. . . you see, so they made a neat littlepacket, not even big enough to requireextra postage. We believe this storywith some difficulty, but we refuse toswallow the gag that goes with it. Hewas a good soccer player, says Stuart,and toward the end of the week, thesocks were stiff enough to enable himto kick beautiful goals without hisshoes. Just in case this wounds anyhardy soul who wears his socks aweek, we coat the pill with sugar.Coach Erdmann of the soccer team hasissued a call for soccer recruits, pref¬erence given, no doubt, to those whosetoes never see the light of day.Believe one who knows, the Psi U’smake wonderful hosts.

By Bob LawsonAs former sports editor of the Ma¬roon and despite my lack of successwith Pickin’ ’Em I’d like to take ahand in the argument between theMaroon editorialist and CourtneyShanken about athletics.The first thing to be taken intoconsideration is that the editorialwriter evidently is not an athlete andShanken is. The editorialist viewsthe situation as do most people whohave little or no interest in sports,and Shanken reflects the other ex¬treme.One sentence in the editorial of Fri¬day’s Maroon shows its inadequacyto comment, “We do not see thatthere are any particular advantagesthat varsity‘athletics has over intra¬mural athletics.” This is certainly thestatement of one who has competedin neither.To maintain that a maximum of 45minutes a week spent in playing in¬tramural touchball, basketball, orlawnbowling is equivalent to two orthree hours a day of hard practice forvarsity baseball, basketball, waterpolo, or gymnastics is silly. Intra¬murals contribute little or none tothe physical development of contes¬tants. One look at an I-M team aftera game is sufficient to see that; theplayers are usually so winded theycan hardly talk. Players live theirordinary lives, drinking, smoking,keeping irregular hours, and violatingall the principles of training. Theyget more exercise out of walking toclass or to Hanley’s than is providedin I-M’s.God-Like ReverenceAttitudes such as the Maroon’s arethe core of the athletic problem here.The almost g:od-like reverence withwhich President Hutchins is regard¬ed goes so far as to include that fam¬ous quotation of his, “Whenever I feelthan one per cent of the males,get daily bodily contact.It is a good thing that ourarmy does not depend on oneper cent of the nation’s males. IfMr. Ward really feels that foot¬ball does so much for the in¬dividual, why does he not adviseathletic directors to adopt Chica¬go’s plan under which no menare cut from varsity squads? Atleast the percentage of males be¬ing prepared to serve the statewould thus increase.Adler CourseAs far as “the ability of ayouth to think fast” is con¬cerned, we would like to bringout a point of our own. We havenever taken the Hutchins-Adlercourse, but people who have, in¬form us that in that course onefinds it necessary to think justas fast as the Minnesota manwho intercepted a fourth downpass on his own three yard linelast Saturday.W.B.The Parking ProblemIf Jones laboratory had beencompletely wrecked Monday,part of the blame would rest onthe students who violated Uni¬versity rules by parking theirautomobiles in the “no parking”zone in front of Jones. Onebright motorist even parked infront of the fire hydrant.The parking rules of the uni¬versity were not made with theintention of causing unnecessaryinconvenience. If students andfaculty members would pay at¬tention to these rules, the cam¬pus would be a safer and moreconvenient place to drive an au¬tomobile. There is no excuse forparking in restricted zones, sincethe university has adequateparking lots scattered all overthe campus.Breaking rules at the Univer¬sity of Chicago has not been com¬mon partly because the admin¬istration has almost alwaysavoided placing restrictions onstudents whenever possible. Inthe interest of safety and con¬venience we hope that the traf¬fic rules will be followed. like exercising, I lie down until thefeeling passes.”The pseudo-intellectualism prevail¬ing on the Quadrangles thinks it issmart to belittle athletics and athletesas stupid and bourgeousie. All ath¬letes are not like Alf Bauman ofNorthwestern nor are they all likeRhodes scholar “Whizzer” White. Butneither do all the students here whoglibly discuss Thomism or MarcelProust Phi Beta Kappas.Athletes can certainly be over-em¬phasized as a hasty glance at sportspages will show. But it is equallyshort-sighted to treat them as stu¬dents here do.Remember TeachingsAs I remember the teachings of someof the Greek Philosophers currentlypopular at the University they recom¬mended gymnastics as one of thecourses of study for young men. Itis strange how their modern discipleshave overlooked that.The majority of the students whograduate from Chicago are one-sided,and many are maladjusted. I do notclaim that more emphasis on athlet¬ics would help cure all of them. I dosay, however, the athlete who grad¬uates from here has a more liberaleducation than the majority of hisclass-mates. As the Greeks put it,“A sound mind in a sound body”.The physical development of stu¬dents is certainly as important astheir mental development. Varsityathletics provide such development.As soon as those students realize thatthey can do more about the problem.swhich beset University students inthat respect than they can in influenc¬ing Josef Stalin or Adolf Hitler therewill be a more healthy atmospherehere. Who knows, it may even getthose who are clamoring for war intothe physical condition demanded bythe army.Letters tothe EditorBoard of Control,The Daily Maroon:We members of the America Firstorgfanization are constantly under at¬tack from war propagandists of allkinds.

OCTOBER 29. 1941 Page ThreeFind CauseOfObstetricDeathsDiscovery of an important cause ofdeath at childbirth, long a medicaliiivstery, has recently been announcedbv riiiversity of Chicago pathologistsPaul E. Steiner and Clarence C. Lush-haiigh. The report was made in theJournal of the American Medical As¬sociation.Although the lethal condition iscommon, it has existed in the pastunder the obscure heading of “ob¬stetric shock.” Its prevalence duringthe period of labor or several hoursf(dlowing childbirth has long baffledscientists who now believe that withactual knowledge of the disease itsi i inedy can soon be effected.Research compiled by Steiner andl.ushbaugh, respective assistant pro¬fessor and research assistant in path-(dogy at the University of ChicagoHillings Clinics, reveals assorted em¬bolisms or clots of fatty tissue in cap¬illaries surrounding the lungs. Organ¬ic debris in sac liquid covering the em¬bryonic child in the uterus circulatesin the blood stream and eventuallybi'iigs death upon reaching the lung.Citing eight detailed cases, the twomedical researchers in summarizingtheir data consider their find as “anew obstetric disease.” Their studyof the problem has been going on fornine years.eiii Delta USteeped InTraditionsPhi Delta Upsilon has many tradi¬tions which tend to make this club(litferent from other woman’s clubs oncampus. A member of Phi Delta Up¬silon always wears pearls on her wed¬ding day, presents her club sisterswith a box of chocolates when sheannounces her engagement, and addsto the club song book upon her initia¬tion.Founded in 1914 with the idea thatassociation in fun and in mutual en¬deavor brings friendship and under¬standing, Phi Delta Upsilon has work¬ed under that ideal. The importance ofthis aim to the club as a whole is il¬lustrated by the wide range of eventsincluded in last year’s social program..Most important, perhaps, are theweekly club meetings and luncheons.Second only to these traditional meet¬ings are the quarterly formals, houseparty, and cozies celebrating basket¬ball victories over other clubs and cele¬brating pin hangings..Members of Phi Delta Upsilon areto be found in almost every campusactivity and organization. Favoritesof the group are YWCA, Mirror, Set¬tlement Board, Chapel Union, StudentForum, and Volunteer Hospital Work.Each year the club presents a cup tothe girl who has participated in themost extra curricular activities.President of Phi Delta Upsilon is.Marge Dunne, Vice President is Bet¬ty Jane Charpier, Marjorie Litt isCorresponding Secretary, while Bet¬ty Davis is Recording Secretary, ElsieDreschler is Treasurer, and the jobof Rushing Chairman is filled by Hel¬en Jane Ellsworth. There is a $25 Chatter, ChatterInter-Fratemity ComicilTo Become "Police Force ##“We’ll take more active steps in¬cluding policing although I think ithas definite limitations, and we’ll fol¬low up anonymous tips about ‘dirty’rushing,” said Clayton Traeger, pres¬ident of the Interfratemity Council,in closing the all-fraternity rushingmeeting yesterday in the ReynoldsClub.The meeting was called at the be¬hest of the I-F committee to discussthe rushing rules and was inspired byDelta Upsilon’s recent letter to theMaroon deploring the fraternit ymen’s attitudes toward the rules.Only Phi Kappa Sigma was absentas fraternity men crowded the SouthLounge to discuss the problem. Thebars of formality were let down onseveral occasions as the argumentsgrew heated. Lin Leach, speaking for Alpha Del¬ta Phi, led off and said that his fra¬ternity felt that the present set ofrules were adequate but needed strict¬er enforcement.Next was John Zuermahlen, Betaand member of the Council, who echo¬ed Leach. First dissenting voice wasBob Lawson, speaking for Chi Psi,who said that his house had rushedillegally and would probably continueto do it because they were forced to.He condemned the “you scratch myj back and I’ll scratch yours” attitudeshown by the fraternities in reportinginfractions.Traeger, in answer to a questionabout dormitory rushing, said that itwas not a serious problem and wasstill in an experimental stage. There would be more enforcement of therule prohibiting rushing in the eve¬nings during the week, however, byperiodic check-ups and perhaps in¬cluding the entry heads in the com¬mittee in charge of enforcing therule.Missed the PointJim McClure, president of DU, toldTraeger that the meeting was missingthe entire point of his letter. He want¬ed to know the attitude of the aver¬age fraternity man.As more men spoke it became evi¬dent that they wanted the I-F Coun¬cil to act as policemen and they alsothought it best that a complainingfraternity need not be identified to theaccused.

Crisis Doesn’tHit Housing—Bureau Says“National defense work and the drafthave made surprisingly little changein the University’s housing arrange¬ments,” said Miss Marjorie Etnyreof the Housing Bureau. “Undergrad¬uate applications came in as usualthis fall, though graduate studentswere slower to make their arrange¬ments.”All the dormitory rooms are fullthis quarter with the exception ofsome of the most expensive suites inBurton and Judson. In assigning dor¬mitory rooms, old house members aregiven first preference and freshmenare accommodated next. Miss Etnyrefinds that most freshmen want roomsin the dormitories where meals areserved, so few of them are placedin Blake. Snell or Hitchcock. Gates,the largest of the .women’s halls, hasno freshmen.Preference as stated by the fresh¬men distribute quite evenly throughthe various halls. “The old traditionabout Foster influences many girls inmaking their choices, though they of¬ten change their minds if they cometo look at the rooms in advance,”Miss Etnyre declared.Lists of Rooms and ApartmentsBesides taking care of dormitory as¬signments, the Housing Bureau haslists of rooms and apartments avail¬able for students. Rooms listed mustmeet certain University standardsand are checked by the Bureau. Apart¬ments are not inspected but are in¬vestigated if there is any reason tobelieve them unsuitable.According to Miss Etnyre there hasnot been a housing shortage at theUniversity since International Houseand the men’s courts were built. Thisyear many people who have had sonscalled in the draft have been anxiousto rent their extra rooms. French AreNot CowedBy NazisAdolph Hitler has granted theFrench people “one last chance to cooperate.” The Germans, say the lat¬est news dispatches, have stayed 500death sentences.“But the Fi-ench people are notcowed by the Fascist public hangingsand wholesale executions,” said Her¬bert Witt, the national executive sec¬retary of the American Student Un¬ion, yesterday.The dapper Union spear-head, stop¬ping in Chicago to address an openASU meeting, in the Reynolds Club, at3:30, today, will elaborate on thetheme—“America Can Stop the FrenchReprisals.”French Universities Closed“Although French Universities havebeen closed, or converted into hospi¬tals or munitions dumps, and theFrench people are being taught Ger¬man history and destiny by busy Ger¬man firing squads, the French arecarrying on a destructive industrialwarfare against the Nazis,” Witt con¬tinued.“The American student can helpsmash one department of Fascist pow¬er by demanding that the Vichy rep¬resentatives in the United States beshipped back to their native, quasi-Fascist political bosses in Vichy.“The President’s recent declarationof revulsion at the death terror inFrance, when coupled with the returnof the P e t a i n ambassadors, wouldfurther encourage the French to con¬tinue their efforts to sabotage theGerman war effort. Washington’s rec¬ognition of the Free French De Gaul-list movement could be a blessing tothe many underground forces nowworking for a Free France right un¬der the German nose.”Final Job“Obviously, the final job of theAmerican student is the defeat of Hit¬ler’s armies,” Witt remarked. “It isan act of simple self-defense. TheFrench situation is but one aspect of"the problem of striking against Hit¬ler.”The Union leader believes that thewhole French nation would explodeunder the Brown-shirts if the Britishcould open a Western Front. He seesthe need for striking now, before theGerman military power can be movedback to Western Europe.Set Armistice DayFor Red Cross DriveArmistice Day is the date set forthe opening of the Red Cross’s annualRoll Call.

Duke Harlan walked overfor the touchdown on the next play.Without sparing a minute for breath.Bob Cummins, Red Devil stock back,brought the bad back to the Gopher5 yard line after a beautiful 25 yardrun. Cummins went over on the nextplay on a line buck for the score.George Balia then threw a pass to awaiting receiver in the end zone foran attempted conversion, but a Gophercrept up and slashed the ball down.Gophers ScoreMustering enough stamina, andwith the breaks coming their way,the Gopher team fought their waydown the field, fumbling the ball butmanaging to keep it in their posses¬sion. Sparked by their magnificentdrive, Tyki Coston threw a short passto Bob Gruen, who sprinted down inthe end zone for the first Gopher scoreagain the Satan team. Coston failedto make the conversion when his kickswerved a little to the right of thegoal post.Catching the Gopher team asleep,Duke Harlan pulled the famous sneak¬er play, lying down on the west endof the field. When the ball was passedhe raced down the field many yardsfrom any Gopher player and receiveda direct pass from “Shorty” Balia tocomplete the first half of the game.Daly caught a pass in the end zonefrom Balia to complete the conversionmaking the score 19-6 at the half.' Continuing their fighting spirit, RedDevil Bob Cummins, threw a very longpass to Bob Daly who stepped intothe end zone for the marker. Baliathen made a perfect drop kick be¬tween the posts for the conversion.Laterals CheckThe Gophers threatened again,scoring a touchdown on a pass fromTyki Coston to Bud Kontos. Theyfailed to make the extra point. BobDaly whipped down the field smash¬ing a rejuvenated Gopher spirit by- evading an entire field of Gophertacklers scoring a touchdown on a 65yard run. Coming back in a do or diespirit, the Gophers caused an uproarwhen the team lateraled three timessweeping right down the east end ofthe field, the ball finally ending up inthe hands of Roberts who brought theball down to the 2 yard line. Costonwent over on the next play for histeam’.s final scoring effort of the after¬noon.George Balia made a 50 yard runthrough an entire Gopher team for atouchdown, but the ball was calledback because of an offside penalty.Then he repeated his I’un, sweepingaround his left end evading again theamazed Gopher team while runningto the 2 yard line. Bob Cummins thenwent over on the next play for theRed Devil’s final scoring activities ofthe day. Final score was Red Devils39, Gophers 18.Duffers Defeat OwlsDesperately fighting to get into thewinning column, the Duffers defeat¬ed the Owls 14-8 in a closely played jgame that spared no feelings for the !famous Maroon spirit. Playing a pro¬fessional brand of football, the Duf¬fers’ two touchdowns were scored inthe first half. Jack Fitzgerald of theDuffers intercepted an Owl pass andran 60 yards for his team’s score. Hethen drop kicked for the conversion.Dave Comstock heaved a pass to WallyBayard a little later on for his team’ssecond and final scoring effort of theday.Bob Murray of the Owls scored thelone touchdown for his team after hehad intercepted a Duffer pass on hisown 10 yard line. Mui’ray then execut-ted a beautiful drop kick for the con¬version.May Play ArmourLeonard Shane, formed Chicago stu¬dent, now attending Armour Collegeof the Illinois Institute of Technologyis formulating a six-man footballteam at that school and plans are afootto bring the Maroons on the same field with Armour Institution some timethis fall.

G-ingSPORTSI With WERNER BAUMSports EditorDefense and FootballAnother Chicago sports editor, alittle more widely read than I am, cre¬ated a minor commotion on the quad-rangles by virtue of his column, gen¬erally known as “The Wake,” yester¬day, Arch Ward was never too pop¬ular in University circles but opinionsare split since his latest utteringshave been published.I can not agree with Mr. W'ard’semphasis on the national defense as¬pect of football. Of course, everythingis done for national defense nowadaysand perhaps it is not so unusual thatfootball should be added to the list.Some of niy opinions on yesterday’sstJitement are expressed in the edito¬rial on the second page. Some points,however, call for further elucidation.Producing SoldiersI quote from Arch Ward; “Attend¬ance this fall, stimulated by such ri¬valries as those between Minnesotaand Michigan, Michigan and OhioState, and Notre Dame and Army, issoaring to ri'cord heights, but behitidit all is the thought that the game it¬self is producing men of which itscountry may be proud, as soldiers andcitizens.”Attendance, it is true, has achievednew heights this year. It seems moreplausible, however, that this increa.n*is due to the current wave of “prt»s-perity” rather than to the feeling thatthe game is producing men of whichits country' may be proud.A University’s function is to pro¬duce citizens and not soldiers. Withthe fear of being called aristocratic,we say that if the University mustproduce any soldiers, it must producethe officers. It seems that officers arenot developed on the gridiron. Mostof the footballers of which we haveheard, have not been made commis¬sioned officers but physical instructorswith a rating of non-commissioned of¬ficer. As physical instructors, theirmain duty is to lead the conscriptedand enlisted men in calisthenics.Defense Owes a DebtMr. W’ard goes on to say: “Nationaldefense owes a tremendous debt tothe Waldorfs, the Biermans, the Lea-hys, the Crislers, and the Elwards,and to the executives of their respec¬tive universities who refused to bestampeded into abolition of the sporta few years back.”In this statement W’ard seems to1 imply, at least, the University of Chi¬cago. Perhaps we should thank him( for complimenting us. As I recall it.I Chicago was the only major school toj abolish football. All by ourselves weI started a stampede.I Perhaps Mr. Ward includes Pitt andj Carnegie in this list also. For theseschools have realized, as most of theI eastern schools are now realizing, that\ collegiate football has outgrown it-; self , 'i “Executives of their respective uni-I versities who refused to be stamped-I ed” probably refused because of thei income derived from the sport, not: on account of the service they wen-: rendering to young manhood.I still maintain my position. It isbetter to have 100 men playing six-man football or 500 men playingtouchball, than to have forty menplaying ball with 80,000 spectatorsruining their vocal chords in thegrandstand.TOMMY DORSEYAND THE NATION'S FAVORITE ORCHESTRASare at your disposalthru the recordmgs of theIHVISIBLE DANCE BANDoperated byJOHN LEGGITT and JACK SHILTONThey bring you the latest tunes thru the finest recordingand public address equipmeyit available for dormitory andfraternity parties, fashion shows and teas, brawls and whathave you."You name it, we'll play it"Also public address and record rental serviceCall Plaza 9250 Formerly owned by Jim & Frank Richards
