/frThe Chicago MaroonVoI.3,No. 13 Z-149 Friday, January 14, 1944 Price Four CentsW. Benton To FeatureU. S. - British EconomyOn New Table SeriesLast Sunday, the University of Chi¬cago Round Table began a series ofsix broadcasts dealing with British-American relations. Conducted byVice-president William B. Benton,who returned from England a fewweeks ago, the series will mark thefirst time the Round Table has pre¬sented a number of programs on thesame subject.Face issues before year’s end“Economic differences,” said Ben¬ton last Wednesday to a MAROON re¬porter, “should be discussed in wartime. Some don’t think so. I do. Wewill have to meet these issues in thenear future: if what Eisenhower saidis true, and I hope to God it is, wewill have to face them before theyear is out.“At this time these subjects arebeing discussed by a number of in¬fluential groups in London. Their dis¬cussions will form British policy. Pub¬lic opinion will form ours. But thereis a tendency over here to think thatthe ties that bind England and Amer¬ica are of the blood-is-thicker-than-water variety. They aren’t that kind.If we don’t understand these economicissues, it is my fear that the ties thatbind won’t hold.”“I want to examine ways andmeans to reconsider American policyin line with England. If these is¬sues are left alone I don’t think we’llget the kind of world we want.Chicago’s the place to do it“The subject,, however, is so con¬troversial that no single magazine orradio program can deal with it. May¬be a University like this is the proper institution to take care of it.”First of six seriesLast Sunday Calvin D. Hoover,professor of economics and Dean of Sir B. Pares DiscussesPoland: Must AccedeRuss Territorial OaimsWILLIAM B. BENTON“. . . Blood isn't thicker than water"the Graduate School at Duke Univer¬sity, and Graham Hutton, director ofBritish Information Services, collabo¬rated with Benton on the Round Ta¬ble. They covered the basic stumblingblocks between Britian and Americawhich will form the subject matterfor the other programs—Lend-lease,aviation, the pound and the dollar, re¬spective import and export rates. Thefollowing programs will deal with theways in which the two countries dif¬fer in their economic problems, tar¬iffs and other barriers, internationalmonetary and credit control, endingwith cartels and monopolies. “I believe that the area involved inthe present Russian-Polish boundarydispute should go to Russia, ” statedSir Bernard Pares, before the Grad-uate History club last Monday even¬ing. “The population of the disputedterritory is White Russian or Ukran-ian, not Polish,” he said.Avoid World War III byterritorial accessionSir Bernard, professor of Russianhistory at the University of Wiscon¬sin, said that by giving the area inquestion to Poland now, the basiswould be laid for World War III inwhich Russia and Germany would beallied against the United States andGreat Britain. “We could not possiblyhope to win against them, and in thiscase we would be throwing the entir¬ety of Poland to the mercy of theRussians. So, therefore, by giving thefragment in question to Russia now,we would be acting in the best inter¬ests of Poland for the future.”Stalin full of horse sense“I am of the opinion,” he said,” thatStalin will not want that part ofPoland where Warsaw is situated. Hewon’t want to enstrange the presentgood will of the Czechoslovakians bybeing covetous of their country. Stalinis a man of good horse sense.”No break between Russiaand Japan“If the United States and GreatBritain urge Russia to break relationswith Japan, an enormous - strategicmistake would be made,” Sir Bernardsaid in discussing Russia’s position inthe Far Eastern question. “It is trueU.S. Hope Of World?The first important prerequisite forWorld peace is that the United States,Great Britain, and Russia work to¬gether in Europe and cooperate withChina in the Far East, stated WalterJohnson, assistant professor of His¬tory at the University of Chicago,speaking at a meeting of Pi LambdaTheta and Phi Delta Kappa, educa¬tional fraternity and sorority, lastnight.Nation’s must conquerSpeaking on *‘The Current Role ofthe United States in International Re¬lations,” Mr. Johnson went on to statethat if these countries fail to cooper¬ate with each other, collective securitywill break down into World War III.Wilson and F.D.R. agreeJ^'ternational cooperation by thenited States fits into American idealsnnd practices,” said Johnson; addingnat throughout our history the out¬standing American principle has beenencourage democracy in the world.Ilsoii and Franklin Roosevelt had the same idea, namely the encouragementof democracy, in mind when they linedthe United States against the totali¬tarian nations.Isolationists ShortsightedTurning to the problem of isola¬tionists, Mr. Johnson argued that theyobject to international cooperation onthe ground that America would sur¬render her national sovereignty. How¬ever, he stated that we would really besafeguarding our future. In the oneworld of the future the United Statesmust not be shortsighted and followthe isolationism of the 1920's. TheUnited States must see that our Sen¬ate does not sabotage the peace of theworld, as it did in 1919.Student Publicity Board willmeet at 4 p.m. in Lounge A, IdaNoyes Hall. Anyone who expectsto be considered as a member ofthe Board in the activities of thewinter quarter must attend thismeeting. Peace up to U.S.In conclusion Mr. Johnson statedthat if the United States failed againto work with the other nations wewill never again be the hope of theworld as we were in World War I andII. that Vladivostok is close enough toTokyo to make it a strategic point fora bomber base. However, Tokyo isalso close enough to the Russian cityto successfully cut off from the rest ofthe world.”Allied Cooperation NecessaryThere must be firm cooperation bothin political and economic spheres,among Great Britain, the UnitedStates and Russia in the years afterthe war. A situation must not arisein which Great Britain and Russiaare on either end of Europe, tuggingand pulling. “No matter what thepeace terms are,” Sir Bernard stated,“I believe Germany will try to crawlback into good relations with Russiaagain. Therefore, Great Britain andthe United States must cooperatestrongly with Russia in the politicalfield.”Siberian development im¬portant post-war factorThe economic development of Si¬beria will be one of the most impor¬tant economic factors of the next 60years, but industry cooperation withStart DancesTomorrow NiteSnowball Stomp, the first of threewinter quarter C dances will be heldtomorrow night in the Ida Noyes Hall.This dance will be under the super¬vision of Jack Berger and ErnestineRowe of the Social Committee.This is the first year that C danceprograms have been scheduled for thewinter quarter.The dancers will dance from 9 p.m.until midnight to the music of WallyHermes and his Orchestra.Girls who find themselves playingsecond fiddle to the whims of draftboards, and servicemen who were thepride and joy of their induction cen¬ters, will be brought together throughthe efforts of the Date Bureau headedby Betty Headland.War Work Committe OutlinesCampaign Plans For Quarter Russia by the other major world pow¬ers will be necessary to insure thisdevelopment. ,Shuns disarmamentSir Bernard expressed'the hope thatthe nations of the world would notdisarm after the war since he doesnot believe that international peacecan be maintained in that way.Round Table veteranSir Bernard Pares, who has beenthe former chairman of the School ofSlavonic Studies of London, has ap¬peared recently on two University ofChicago Round Tables discussing thesmall nations and their peace and theMoscow Pact.Grover 111;Michel PlansDear BrutusThe Office of Dramatic Productions’plans to present Hedda Gabler havebeen shelved until spring quarter, dueto Director Frank Grover’s illness.John Dickerson and Mary Diamondwere to play the leading roles in theproduction.In order to prevent the winter quar¬ter from slipping by minus an ODPplay, Mr. Jerry Mickel will direct acampus presentation of James Bar¬rie’s Dear Brutus. Casting has alreadybegun for the production.Dear Brutus is a dramatic fantasyconcerning the experiences at a din¬ner party of a certain group of people,all of whom have the desire to have a“second chance” in life. In his play,Barrie attempts to show what hischaracters might have been if theyhad lived according to their dreamsand secret desires. The title is aftera quotation from Shakesepeare’s Juli¬us Caesar: '“The fault, dear Brutus, is not inour stars.But in ourselves, that we are un¬derlings.”The War Activities Committee willhave a meeting this afternoon at 4p.m. in Ida Noyes Libraiy.

There are thejoyboys and the students. There are the peoplewho go to fraternity parties and are written upin the Bazaar, and there are the people who go toall their classes and study evenings.Both pictures are extreme, but both factionsinvariably portray the other that way. Joyboysdon’t necessarily have heads full of tinfoil, andstudents aren’t an isolated race that wear double-lensed glasses and read Marx for fun. Essential¬ly, the two are the same.In the extreme, the rattle-brains are picturedas giddy fraternity men and club women whospend their days sleeping and their nights atU.T. They’re supposed to think of the war assomething to be avoided and ideals as rather sil¬ly. Their idea of a good time is to sit around acoke bar table, chain smoke, and tell nasty storiesabout each other.This lemon-meringue faction is supposed toregard people who aren’t like them as ratherfrustrated neurotics. Their thoughts on the sub¬ject are expressed in the words of the Presidentof Alpha Cholera in “Barefoot Boy With Cheek’’:“Understand me, Asa,” said the president,“these are nice people—in their way. But they’refrustrated: do you know why they’re frustrat¬ed?”“No, sir,” said Asa simply.“Because they can’t get into a fraternity!”So much for that. It is, however, the honestopinion of a great many down to earth, non friv¬olous people. These persons, on the other hand,are imagined as pitiful creatures.who crawl fromclass to class by day and slave over books bynight. Their lives are supposedly ruined whenthey get a B; the high point of the day is astraight from the shoulder chat on sociologicalideals.No matter which way you paint it, though,the picture is wrong. The ingredients of thesepopular misconceptions are superficialities:smoothness, wit, and gossip on the one hand—studiousness, grubbiness, and monotony on theother. Despite the respective tinsel, students donot come to the University of Chicago neatlysplit into two cat-fighting groups.If joyboys thought only of their own peachygood times together they would be unnatural.If their alleged opposites thought the only thingsin life were biophysics and economics, they’d befreaks. Both sides have come to be represented ito the other in the persons of a few extremes iwho actually do exist. Both, however, are fun-1damentally interested in the same things, effect-;ed by the same things, talk about the samethings, think about the same things.Both know damn well that there’s a war on:they ought to be, because their friends arefighting in it. Both know what’s going to happenafter this is all over—it’s hurled in their facesevery day. Neither is dumb and neither is grub¬by—it’s time enough that both realized it.It would be useless, of course, to say thatthere are no cliques on campus. What is self evi¬dent cannot be denied. Respective partisansstick to themselves and think they’re better offthan the other. All have low opinions of their op¬posites—regard them as time wasters or grinds,whichever side of the fence they happen to besitting on. Nevertheless, mutual back stabbingand contempt are quick roads up a blind alley.Scoffing and laughing at one another becausesomeone doesn’t “belong” to the little group,because those other fellows are filled with noth¬ing but hot air, conceit, and wise cracks, has theproportions of a fifth-grade gang war.They say that, in war time, campus cliquesare bound to break down. It isn’t necessary. Thereis no reason why there should be cliques here.In that case, it would be a fine thing if peoplewould quit talking about them.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR(This column is open to any student or faculty member of the Univer.sity of Chicago. The only limitation set on letters is that they should besubjects of interest and concern to CHICAGO MAROON readers.)To The Editor:I am one of those wonderful peoplewho love the MAROON. I love thenews stories and I love the columnsand I love the ads. I love all the edi¬tors and I think Shields is second onlyto God. I love the people who wanderin here who belong and a few of thosewho don’t. I think the Maroon has amost inspirational atmosphere.Passionately,Carroll AtwaterTo the Editor:We have just come from the Purdue-Chicago basketball (?) game. What’sthe matter with us? Why can’t wedisplay the spirit which all normalcollege students have? You say thatthis is not a normal college. We real¬ize that. But it is its policies that dis¬tinguish our University, not the stu¬dents. At present our student body—or rather student corpse—appears toconsider a display of that rah-rahcollege spirit as beneath its academicdignity. It is our belief that this fac¬tor contributes greatly to the tragedythat one can witness twice-weeklywhenever the Maroons invade a bas¬ketball court. Not alone is there alack of spectators, but there is a lackof enthusiasm among those few whodo attend. How can we expect thebest from our boys when we don’t givethem our best? The time to come outand cheer for them is when they arelosing; the present offers an unprece¬dented opportunity.Let’s, utilize to the utmost whateverenthusiasm that may emerge. Let’sget up an organization that will letthe team know we’re behind it. Otheruniversities have cheering sectionswith leaders—why can’t we? This isan undertaking worthy of action. Let’sprove that “book-worms and socialduds” are sufficiently broad-minded torealize the importance of athletics incollege life.Eileen Flamm To the Editor:The Maroon is a school paper, andallegedly serves the campus in thatcapacity. I have read a few issues ofthe paper which really reported thenews that the whole student bodycould read about with interest, and alot of other issues that just left mecold. The December 3rd issue was es-pecially good, I thought. There werearticles, to mention a few, on a pre¬view of a speech by Orson Welles tothe student body and the general pub¬lic, news of the baby campus publi-cation, “Counterpoint”, nearly out,an interesting report of an interviewwith a well-known authority and lec¬turer on China, news of the Commit¬tee on Social Thought, a commentaryon the new Chicago Ballet Company,and so on. There were also some short,interesting review-advertisements forbooks, and a good coverage of theathletic events.The points that I would criticizemost about the paper in general arethe faculty interviews, which havebeen rather inadequately, if not high-schoolishly, conducted. And how aboutthe faculty wives? Surprisinglyenough, they are interesting, tooThere is an obvious lack of a weeklysocial calendar, a shortage of bookreviews, and a highly restricted cov¬erage of social life on the campus.When club and fraternity news is in¬cluded in the general school paper, itis the responsibility of the reportersto make it either brief, or amusingenough for the people who aren't “in”to enjoy it. There are quite a few in¬teresting independent organizationsthat would bear writing up, too, thata lot of students know very little ornothing about.My last suggestion is that definite“news-stands” be established so thatit will be convenient to buy the paper.Yours for a better Maroon,Nan Rohrke.Bill RobertsOn The BoardsThe arrival of 1944 has brought toa close the second year of war, andwith it the usual weeping and wailingand gnashing of teeth from the localtheatrical circles who are positivethat the “theatuh” is definitely goingto the dogs. Even the very talentedand respected Helen Hayes lamentsin a recent “Life” interview thatlast year’s crop of plays consisted ofnothing more than a great amount ofobvious propaganda and several triteand childish comedies. The opinion isprevalent in the most fashionablegreen rooms that if the public wantsany really meaty, adult drama, theymust sit down and just wait quietlyuntil after the war. According to ournot too valuable but nevertheless en¬thusiastic point of view, this opinionseems unsubstantiated.Looking over last year’s playbills,we can see enough valuable materialto have made the Chicago season wellworth the while. True, a couple ofinane comedies and Theatre Guildflops reared their obnoxious headshere and there, but no theatrical sea¬son can draw to a close without oneor two turkeys. And we don’t think1943 overran its quota.At the start of the season. MossHart’s lavish drama-musical, “Ladyin the Dark” swept majestically in and left Chicago’s audienecs flounder¬ing in a sea of glittering costumesand sparkling dialogue. After a longand successful run, that irrepressibleglamourham, Gertie Lawrence, gath¬ered up her company and pushed on¬ward, carrying wdth her neul'osesand a fortune in box-office receipts.“Kiss and Tell” made us laugh . - •loud and long ... so we liked it.After all, what is the purpose of acomedy? Likewise with “The Dough-girls”, which we knew would be goodeven before we saw it. We have a firmbelief that anything by J. Fieldsis practically sure-fire.No, we haven’t forgotten “Olda-homa!” . ..’ We realize it’s breakingall records qn Broadway, and that it s“rich escapist fare”, (whatever thatis!). We know that the unforgettablesongs by Rodgers and Hammersteinare making history. Still we dontdare write about it. Why not? Mainlybecause we haven’t seen it!selves and about 6,000,000 others).Anybody got a couple of old worn-outickets they don’t want?The last four plays are only a fe''^of the many that were on the Chicagoboards during ‘43. But it's more thanenough^ to show that good theatre,plays that appeal to the public, wiwithstand this crisis just as well asthey have previous ones.\ Feature Page Muriel Newman THE CHICAGO MAROONOut of This WorldDon ShieldsTraveling BazaarWASHINGTON, D.C....You can learn a lot aboutthe University here in Washington.. .take for instancethe Cabbies.. .any one of them will tell you that they arenot only the best informed group on Capitol affairs buton the country in general... I had to get one from Un¬ion Station to Alexandria (which is quite a long drive)and was fortunate enough to get a Hack in an expan¬sive mood.. .He spotted the U. of C. seal on my .sweaterthe minute I got into the cab and immediately confessedthat he had only a rather sketchy knowledge of the Uni¬versity. . .but with ill-concealed condensation he flatteredme with a question (Washington cabbies usually tell youthings, they seldom ask you even where you want to go)“Say kid,” he inquired confidentially, “Is it REALLYtrue what they say about the Communists at thatplace?”!!! Having received innumerable comments on our spellingof the word “enuf,” we wish here to state that it wasneither the fault of the printer nor a new attitude onthe part of the MAROON. (We have no such McCormichmanias) to inaugurate a phonetic spelling. It is merelyan idiosyncrasy of this writer which she has indulged infor many years and would not consider changing. (Enufsaid ?)“Out of this world” is the correct description for yourreporter at this time. Being confined due to a seige ofchicken pox (at 18, too!), my outlook for the week hasbeen considerably curtailed. At this point I look like across between a spotted leopard, a pink polka dot dress,and a camouflage expert’s nightmare . . . Speaking olnightmares, we can imagine what a lovely one the MA¬ROON staff had when they heard of my condition. Havingbeen out with them about six hours before my “comingout” party, I can well imagine how high the odds arerunning as to who will be blossoming out next. Cheerup, kids. There are worse things. (Can’t think of anyat the moment.)Dave Smothers had a similar experience with a Chi¬cago cab driver when he made the mistake of discussingoolitics with the driver...The worthy man discoveredpoor Dave’s rather liberal opinions on the subject andalso the fact that he was a student at the University...So young David had to sit back and sweep up the follow¬ing pearls that dropped from the driver’s lips: “Lemmetell ya sumpthin Kid.. .Ya can’t listen ta dem Reds overiheie and take em serious-like.. .’Course edjuhcation’si line thing but you just read de books and don’t pay noheed ta what dose guys says or you’ll go nuts...

Sharbach, Jr. is certainly hard on'^0 trail of something or someone but the whole damnis shrouded in mystery. He went so far as to rob^'0 mails to prevent my precious column from reachingpublic.Washington is definitely overcrowded. Move over' fister so I can end this page. Besides the annoying itch of C. P. (Can anyone sug¬gest a remedy?), we are slowly being criven by radiosoap operas—Will Brenda catch her man? Is DannyO’Neil doomed to prison? How soon will Mary Mariansettle the problems of Washington? etc., etc. All theseweighty problems must hang in the balance until thenext episode of your favorite “story of today.” Thesecharacters never do anything but spectacular, world-significant actions. Even if it’s such a banal occurenceas turning an ankle, our hero (or heroine) is such a world-famous personnage that the event is headlined for weeks. . . This sort of dribble gets quite mononous and dryafter a few doses, n’est-ce pas? There are, however, afew consoling serials such as “Vic and Sade,” a perenialfavorite of ours, and a new one, “The Light of the World,”a dramatized version of the Bible, which compensatefor some of the bad “entertainment” on the air. If thisrepresents the level of intelligence of the listening public,we Americans must be rather low on the scale of intellect.Lamentable, Isn’t it?- To end our column on a more humorous level, we quotea statement made by one of our soldier friends (a formerUofCer): “Yes sir, the Company Commander certainlyhas a kind face—the kind you’d like to use for mortarshells.”^ancy SmithBox OfficeADVENTURES OF TARTU, THE BALKAN SPY . . .Robert Donat, cast as a british Agent posing as aRumanian Iron Guardist in Czechoslovakia, gives thisglittering spy thriller a touch of glamor.He lands in a Balkan country via parachute, posessuccessively as a Rumanian peasant, gigolo and pompusNazi officer, contacting both underground and Nazi bigshots. Before you can say sprechtenzedeutch he is work¬ing on a secret process in the chemical plant he issupposed to destroy.Needless to say, he does. Pursued by hundreds ofNazis, he does an expert bit of broken-field runningthrough countless perils—skinning through doors whichclang shut immediately after him, hopping an automobilewhich happens to be passing by at the time and drivenby underground friends, stealing a plane which happensto land in the vicinity, finally returning to England withValerie Hobson, the Czech girl with whom he had sucha stormy, if not protracted, romance, who happened tobe on the spot when he swiped the plane.Robert Donat, who gave a rococo characterization ofthe Rumanian gigilo, did some of the swooshiest actinghe has ever done. Plastered with pomade and oozing withtrite gallantries, he oiled very slickly through a sizableslice of the picture. Nobody minded the defamation ofhis character (we all know he’s a clean cut Englishman)because for about five minutes of the picture he was aclean-cut Englishman.Valerie Hobson, svelete and beautiful, dodged the de¬signing Gestapo artfully, posing as a collaborationist,and, as in all shiny melodramas, disclosing herself as aleader in the underground.“Tartu” isn’t one of those beginning-to-end moviesnecessarily. You could walk in anywhere during the pic¬ture and be biting your nails in five minutes. Of courseyou know just how it will all come out (villain foiled, heroand heroine making exciting escape. Love Wine Out, etc.)but your blood will CURDLE. Carroll Atwater and Bill Erlandson •Page ThreeWhat Price SanityIn one of his afternoon English sessions Mr. Cable was assigning articlesfor analysis. He turned to a scientific treatise on the Brownian movement.“We’ll skip by this one; it’s much too sexy.” After all, Mr. Cable, we learnedabout the birds and bees long ago, in Bi Sci.« « *Those stories about the girl who sits and knits on the landing of CobbHall every day became more and more incredible.

A soldier sat down in the row in front ofus, escorting a girl wearing a large floppy hat. A peasant woman on ourright tried helplessly to see above the hat. She poked the girl aggressively.“You got a high hat,” she said. “You take it off or I’ll call the manager. Ipaid my money and I got a right to see the show.” The girl put a hand toher hair, prepatory to removing the offending hat. But the soldier seized herhand masterfully and insisted, “Leave it on, honey. I don’t like the wayshe said that.” The atmosphere bristled with nastiness. The girl looked aroundin some confusion, while the peasant woman arose majestically. The soldier,having won his point, allowed the girl to take off her hat, and just as shehad removed the last hat-pin the peasant woman appeared in front of herand put on a large hat.>1: « *There’s an old legend about Mr. Hutchins and his full-professors.

Brandt Explains WorkOf University PressAt the beginning of this quarter,two new men entered the faculty ofthe University of Chicago. One, NotreDame's illustrious MacMahon came into the accompaniment of nationalfanfares. The other, Joseph A. Brandt,took over his duties as director of theUniversity Press with no newspaperpublicity, with no consciousness of hispresence on the part of the studentbody.He published ‘‘Wak-Kon-Tah”In some ways, however, Brandt’sarrival may well be more importantthan MacMahon’s. He come freshfrom the presidency of the Universityof Oklahoma where he crusaded forpre-professional school education forundergraduates, faculty government,student housing, and industrial re¬search. He has been director of thePrinceton and Oklahoma UniversityPresses at Oklahoma he publishedJohn Matthews’ “Wah-Kon-Tah”, theonly college press book ever to be se¬lected by the Book of the Month Club.A Rhodes scholar, he holds Bachelorof Literature and Master of Arts de¬grees from the University of Oxford.“The nature of a University Press”,said Brandt in an interview last Tues¬day “is determined by its environ¬ment-geographical, cultural, and in¬stitutional. As such, the University ofChicago holds unlimited possibilities.It is situated in the heart of thecountry. It expresses a certain liberaleducational outlook best expressed bythe writings of President Hutchins.4 MONTH INTENSIVESecretarial Course forCOlUGE STUDENTS and GRADUATESA thorough, intensive, secretarial1 course — starting Februa.y, July,October.

After the first nine minutes,the Maroons were unable to keep upwith the lightning scoring drives ofthe Boilermakers and trailed all theway.Amos Alonzo Stagg, Chicago’s“Grand Old Man” and the nation’s“Coach of the Year,” didn’t turn upat the game as scheduled because ofa cold which confined him to his hotelroom. But ’ for the first time thisseason, a large crowd filled the bleach¬ers in the Fieldhouse. Although losingby a fairly large margin, the Marooncagers staged a real show for thestands.Through the whole game, the boysnever stopped trying and never ceasedbattling for the ball. Dick Furry(pronounced “Fur’-ee” no matter whatthe Chicago Sun says) had the fanson their feet yelling in the first min¬ute of play by sinking a beautifullong shot. Fred DeGraw followed hisexample a moment later with a free-throw and Chicago took the lead 3 to0. Purdue’s speed soon made itselffelt, however, and the Maroonstrailed 8 to 3.“Deadeye” DeGraw sank two freethrows and a long shot with his usualprecision and “Long Jack” Markwardflipped in a neat field goal putting Chi¬cago back in the scramble with Purdueleading by only two points 11-9. Thatwas about the end of the “close” partof the contest. Johnny McPhersonlooped a Purdue basket and thenCharlie Haag drilled in nine pointsin a row to put the Boilermakers outin front 22-10.Long ones from the back courtdon’t play a very big part in CoachPiggy Lambert’s “fast break” styleof play, and the speedy, yellowshirted. Boilermakers only triedthree. Even though Purdue was doingpretty well against the inexperiencedMaroons, they looked sloppy on many of their easy “step-ins.” They lost agood many points oli hurried shootingfrom under the basket.If experience and speed were not soimportant and fighting spirit couldwin basketball games, Chicago’sFighting Maroons would have beatenPurdue 70 to 27 instead of vice versa.Skating Under StandsFree To All StudentsNow that winter has set in, theskating rink under the North Standswill be open from 2 to 6 p.m. andfrom 7 to 10 p.m., every day that theweather permits.

It was unfortunatethat Stagg had to see his old AlmaMater beaten 78-26.Chicago opened the game furiouslyand played the taller De Paul veter¬ans off their feet for the first sevenor eight minutes.
