THE CHICAGO MAROOPrice Five CentsNo Dull Summer!Plan Full ScheduleVol. 3, No. 31 Z-149 Friday, May 19, 1944McMahon Comments OnVisit To StalinJoins With KerwinIn Praising PriestThe recent suspension of FatherOrlemanski, of Springfield, Mass., hasoccasioned much comment in manyquarters. As one of the many whowent to Russia to see “what was goingon”. Father Orlemanski stated, afterconfering with Marshal Stalin inMoscow, that the Russian chief “isvery well disposed to the Roman Cath¬olic Church.” Father Orelmanski andOscar H. Lange, of the Economics De¬partment of this University, anotherof the tourists to Russia, are bothmembers of the Kosciusko League,*aliberal Polish-American organization.Upon his return to this country.Father Orlemanski was suspended bythe Bishop of his diocese.“Technically,” says Dr. McMahon,“the suspension laid upon Father Or¬lemanski results from a transgres¬sion of a church rule.” McMahonfurther points out that, unlike a lay¬man, a man who accepts holy ordersvoluntarily submits to a certain dis¬cipline governing his activities. Inmaking his trip to Russia without thepermission of his bishop. Father Or¬lemanski apparently violated canonlaw.Hopes No Permanent DamaffeMcMahon, who came to this Uni¬versity after his refusal to submit tocertain rules at Notre Dame, whichwould have resulted in censorship ofhis statements, goes on to say “Wemust all hope that no permanent dam¬age will be done by this unfortunateincident to the growing accord be¬tween Russia and religious institutions.There can be no world peace withoutthe co-operation of Russia. Concord ona religious basis between Russia andthe West will be of aid in cementingthis political and economic co-opera¬tion.”Writing for the New York Post,McMahon says, “Progress towards fullreligious freedom in Russia will de¬pend upon the attitudes of outside peo¬ples. By exaggerating current griev¬ances and difficulties, both in the po¬litical and religious spheres, we maywell succeed in driving her back intoher old ways. Winthrop Still Hudson,Former U. of C. Student,Joins Divinity FacultyPresident Hutchins has announcedthat Winthrop Still Hudson, authorof religious books and instructor atColgate-Rochester Divinity School,will teach in the Divinity School ofthe University as a member of theFederated Theological Faculty.

I grant that his pro¬cedure was irregular: those who wouldexploit this unfortunate affair tofurther widen the breach betweenAmerican and Russian thinking onpolitical and religious matters willbe serving neither the cause of re¬ligion nor of future peace.”Thus speaks a member of thechurch, who by his recent departurefrom Notre Dame, has shown whichside of the political and religiousfence he’s sitting on.(See “Orlemanski,” page six)Smedley VisitsThe Bookstore(See Page Four) Northwestern University has yield¬ed to the current demand for a liberaleducation. Its President, Dr. Frank-lyn Bliss Snyder, has announced thatone hundred fifty students will enrollunder the new plan next fall.“The doctor who knows nothing butmedicine, the technician whose onlyconcern is with his special skills, thebusinessman unmindful of larger so¬cial and economic issues, are not onlypoor citizens but inadequate humanbeings.” Dr. Snyder said.The plan which will be based uponthe “units of study system” will applyonly to the B.A. degree.

Evans, directorof the University Choir, said, “the se¬lections were all very interesting andwell-chosen; they showed intelligentthought and hard work on the part ofthe contestants. Mortar Board andPi Delta Phi were very close in thejudging.”Dukes Give PartyFor Phoenix HouseWell up on the list of “unusual-if-nothing else” parties, can be foundthe escapade which took place lastFriday night at Duke House.Dick Schreiber, head of the men’sdorm, told people to make themselvesat home, and the suggestion wastaken quite literally.The girls of Phoenix thoroughlyenjoyed the radio program, a combin¬ation of Truth and Consequences,Henry Einstein, and Leo Dardarian.The novel arrangements for feedingwere made by Conrad Fischer, andTex Salmon as house president, wasover-all manager of the goings-on.Apparently the men of Duke Househad an enjoyable time, too, becausenot long afterwards they presentedthe girls with an album of ArtieShaw’s records, and a delegation spentthe evening at Phoenix listening tothem.first four of which will be “The Useof English”, “A Modern Foreign ora Classical Language”, “Mathemat¬ics”, and “An Introduction to Sci¬ence,” and “The Bases of Social Life.”However, contrary to the Chicagoplan. Dr. Snyder’s system will not bean accelerated program. As he stated,“We do not believe in forced feedings.Nor will we base it upon a list of 70or 80 books.”A parting shot at the Chicago Planwas achieved when Dr. Snyder added,“The college faculty voted five to oneto accept the plaii and the UniversitySenate approved it unanimously.” Of SocialThis summer, for the first time, acomplete social program will be un¬dertaken by the Student Social Com¬mittee. Miss Marguerite Kidwell an¬nounced yesterday. “There will bethree dances in the Ida Noyes theatrewhich opens out on to the roof, anouting and dance on PromontoryPoint, and an outdoor movie in thecloister of Ida.”Ernestine Rowe, chairman of thecommittee says, “We plan to stringcolored lights outside on the balconyof the third floor for the first danceJuly 8th”. Other “C” dances will fol¬low on the 29th of July and August19th. Usually the summer social cal¬endar has been handled by either MissKidwell or Miss Edith Ballwebber butnow that the University is running ona year-round basis, the Committeefeels that it should function by spon¬soring Summer Quarter activities.All summer, the coke-bar will beopen in the cool, quiet Ida Cloister.Wicker furniture will be placed abouton the grass and strings of coloredlight globes will adorn the roof inthe evening (until 10 o’clock).

Mr. Bloch, speaking onthe pending Murray-Wagner-Dingellbill, “the American Beveridge plan,”said that he is supporting the bill asthe best proposal yet made, for solv¬ing the posL-war .social security prob¬lem, although he admitted that it wasnot perfect. He asserted that the billshould be adopted immediately, sinceits taxing provisions would be usefulin preventing inflation during war¬time, and its social security benefitswould become available after the war,when they will be most needed. In ad¬dition, the provisions for medical in¬surance, which are needed now, wouldbecome effective immediately.Mr. Bloch added that the proposed“G.I. Bill of Rights” should be adopt¬ed at this time, and should be inte¬grated with the Murray-Wagner-Dingell Bill.

Unlike the usual artificial Holly¬wood ploss and glamour, this picturecarries with it a terrific sobering im¬pact that only sincere art and power¬ful realism can convey.The film’s primary aim is to tellthe tale of the epic stand of the Brit¬ish Eighth Army at El Alemeinagainst Rommel’s Africa Corps, andthen show the cour.se of Montgomery’ssplendid feat of crushing his foe anddriving the Germans and Italians outof Egypt. But there is infinitely moreto be gotten from this picture thana textual account of a military cam¬paign long fought and won.In a simple, yet effective, manner,the British Army photographers man¬aged to project on the screen WARin all its gargantuan intensity andimmediacy, impersonal and relentlessand deadly, so that what actually ap¬pears is not the .saccharine blurbs ofsome haut monde scrivener, but rathera completely physical (if nothingmore) tour de force which is unparal¬leled in its virtuosity.It is rather discouraging to notehow Hollywood has progres.sed in meretechnical proficiency without beingable to discover a soul of art and hon¬esty. After turning out tons of pic¬tures in the very teeth of a .severefilm shortage, the nearest we couldapproach “Desert Victory” was withthe sometimes excellent, sometimesfantastically poor “With the Marinesat Tarawa,” which is not a Hollywoodproduction.“Desert Victory” is no mere studioproduct. Four photographers werekilled and several more were woundedor captured during the filming of thiscinematic triumph. The task of cut¬ting and editing was accomplishedwith consummate discrimination anda good sense of dramatic value. Also,the narration was done with a fineeye to the greatness o fthe subjectmatter, without slopping over intoverbosity and bathos—a shortcomingtoo frequently evident in Americanfilms. F.I.G. Hot Society CatsSend ’Selves SoonThe recently innovated Hot JazzSociety of Chicago founded by stu¬dents of the University of Chicago hasnow made definite steps in the direc¬tion of recognition and distinction.

This librarywill serve as an historical stockpilefor research only. It is urged thatanyone interested in this organizationget in touch with Sandy Sulcer at theMar(jn)n office.Socialists Listen ToBendix On ControlsThe last in a series of three lectureson “The Problems of Building a So¬cialist Democracy,” sponsored by theSocialist Club, was delivered lastWednesday by Reinhard Bendix ofthe Sociology Department. Mr. Ben¬dix, speaking on “Bureaucracy in aSocialized Economy,” emphasized thefact tliat the extension of governmen¬tal control and bureaucracy under .so¬cialism would not necessarily mean arestriction of indiv’dual freedom. Hepointed to historical examples inwhich the very extension of govern¬ment led to an increase in individualfreedom for the many, although caus¬ing a restriction of freedom foi thefew.Periods of radical deprivation offreedom have occurred or may be ex¬pected in the countries of western civ¬ilization, Mr. Bendix stated, but thereaction to this deprivation may re¬sult in an agreement among the massof the people on the fundamental val¬ues of life. Suoh agreement may pro¬vide one of the conditions necessaryfor making the establishment of so¬cialism and the consequent extensionof governmental control compatiblewith individual freedom.

How¬ever, how can the lack of a needed facility whichhas never existed on this campus be explainedaway in a like fashion?Occasionally, there are students at the Uni¬versity of Chicago who desire a moment’s relax¬ation, some pleasant conversation in convivialcompany, and perhaps some refreshment aftera rigorous study session. If those students donot care for beer or any of the other varietiesof spirtus frumenti, they cannot find the diver¬sion they seek at the U.T. Well, where else canthey go?Once upon a time, there was a Coffee Shop, aReynolds Club, and an Ida Noyes Hall. The firsttwo no longer exist for the civilian students, andthe third was never much better than a museum,instead of the recreational center it might havebeen. Moreover, whatever value it may still haveis further decreased by the fact that the militaryhas taken over part of it, and other parts arenow used for general classes. Added to this con-diton, we find that most of the Commons roomsin several buildings on campus have been aban¬doned as such.Even if all three institutions were suddenlyreturned to the University for all students, there:are still two immediate faults to be found: 1) the Irecreational facilities are still insufficient to ac-'commodate the number of students brought hereby steadily incerasing enrollment; 2) the ideaof separate facilities for men and women might ihave been acceptable during the Victorian Era,but hardly today. The University student whoplans to spend a pleasant few hours in the com¬pany of one of the fairer sex, unless he boastsa well-filled wallet, must either reconsider aboutU.T. or he must look to the Midway and thePromontory as a place to pass a sociable eve¬ning.There is nobody who will deny the necessityfor wholesome recreational facilities, nor willanyone who knows the University deny that thecurrently available ones are completely inade¬quate. It is perfectly ridculous to expect a largebody of healthy students which the Universityboasts to use a structure housing heirlooms andguards and myriads of regulations for a socialcenter. Such physical properties belong quiteproperly in a home for the aged o,r a bankers’club.What the students should have at their dis¬posal is a large, modern, centrally located unionbuilding where they can bowl, play handball orsquash, listen to the radio, eat a sandwich anddrink a coke, join in a splash party, argue aboutlast week’s Humanities exam without disturbingsomeone who wants to study, play recordings, ortake their favorite girl friends dancing. Such abuilding would also provide a center for all or¬ganized campus activities as well.It is the avowed purpose of the Universityto train and develop its students to be usefuland intelligent citizens, rather than myopic pe¬dants. What better method could the Universityfind to insure the healthful, well-rounded devel¬opment and normal adjustment of its studentsthan by making the necessary provisons for sup¬plying the students with the proper social andrecreational facilities. And a union buildingwould serve just tliat function.

Come down from there this instant . . .You’re making an ‘S’ of yourself!” Smedley and GeorgeHow much?” asked Smedley.“Well,” saidSmedley, “at lastwe’re going to tlnrbookstore.”He and Georgenoticed the girlsscattered in vari¬ous postures onthe lawn. “Gosh,”said Smedley, “they must be the traffichazards that Uncle Henry was tellingabout. It seems as though ten motor¬ists have had accidents on this spotwithin a week. I don’t know what thegirls have to do with it, but UncleHenry says they’re definitely toblame.”By this time they had reached thestore and went in- Smedley decidedthat he was a little hungry, and sohe and George started toward theback. When they had finally pushedtheir way through the crowd about ahalf hour later, Smedley asked thewoman behind the counter,on the menu for today?”“You can read, can’t you buddy?”she replied. “What’s “Seventeen cents,” said the girl asif that were a normal price for sud,a sandwich.“Goodness,” said Smedley as hereached his chubby fingers into hispocket. “Is that the ceiling price‘s”“It has to be.” said the woman. “Noone would pay any higher than sev¬enteen cents.”Smedley agreed and unwrapped thesandwich. _“This must be inflation.”he said as he turned to George. “Theyinflate the bread and cut down on thefilling.”There was a look of horror on hisface as he bit into the sandwich. Thenthe look changed to disgust. Abandon-ing his usual manners, Smedley threwthe sandwich on the floor.“Don’t you dare touch it, George,”he said. “You may be able to eat pa¬pers and tin cans; but you shouldn’teat that.” George the Goat didn’t needa second warning but edged tow-ardthe book counter, a safe distance fromthe sandwich.Smedley thought this was a uselessquestion so he ignored it and motionedGeorge the Goat to do the same. Hethen ordered an egg .salad sandwich.The girl gave him a thin waxed paperenvelope.BachToBaxNowadays, with a dearth of worth¬while releases in the field of classicalrecords, it doesn’t hurt to reconsidersome of the currently available albumswhich deserve to rank as classics ofthe gramaphone. The Beethoven Sec¬ond Piano Concerto, B Flat, Op. 19,although the least well-known of thefive Beethoven concertoc's, containssome of his best writing in a lightervein. Written in 1794, before the firstin *C Major, although numbered thesecond, the music has .something ofthe sparkle of late Mozart, coupledwith a slow movement which containswithin itself the seeds of the laterBeethoven adagios which were to findtheir complete unfolding only in thelast five quartets, and notably the Op.430.Victor offers it, played by ArturSchnabel, and the London Philhar¬monic, conducted by Malcolm Sargent.Although the recording dates from1932, the resonance and fidelity of thework are still unsurpassed, even bymany of the more recent releases. Addto this Schnabel’s customarily flaw¬less interpretation of Beethoven,coupled with Sargent’s well-balanceaccompaniment, and you have a per-form.ance which one never tires ofhearing.Mozart’s Symphony N>o. 36 in CC‘Linz”), K. 563, can be had on Co¬lumbia with Sir Thomas Beecham andthe London Philharmonic. This wasthe symphony with which Hans Langescored his triumph on the first of theall-Mozart concerts this season justended. The structurally flawless writ¬ing of the opening allegro spiritosooffers a study in form which a certainmodern Russian (whom I won’t name)would do well to study. While theperformance is all that could be de¬sired, the surfaces of the currentlyavailably sets should be watched. Ingeneral, new Columbia records shouldbe played twice with a steel needle,before using thorn or cactus. Theamount of dirt to be excavated on somesets is really amazing. “W’ell,” said Smedley, “as long asI’m here. I’d better get that Bi-Sci syl¬labus for my little brother, Aristo.He’s beginning to a.sk Momma que.s-tions already. This younger genera¬tion is certainly precocious, isn’t itGeorge?”George the Goat nodded approvalalthough he wasn’t completely sure ofthe complete etymology of the la.st.Just then a man came up to the coun¬ter and asked, “What can I do foryou?”“I’d like a Bi-Sci syllabus for mybrother,” said Smedley.“That’ll be two dollars and threecents,” said the man.“What?” a.sked Smedley. Georgeraised his head abruptly at the sametime-“That’ll be two dollars and threecents,” said the man.“That’s terribly expensive, isn’t it?”a.sked Smedley.“You see, my boy,” explained theman, “we just print a few of the.se andthat’s why they’re so expensive. Thelaw of supply and demand you know.”“Well,” said Smedley, “why don’tyou print more and make the costless?”“I see that you have no knowledgeof economics,” snarled the man. “Well,do you want it or not?”“No. I guess I’ll get him a copy ofDr. Fishbein’s ‘Home Medical Ad¬visor’,” answered Smedley.(Next Week: Smedley Visits aVice-Presidential Candidate)Last week I didn’t have room tobabble about the new Toscanini re¬cording of Strauss’ Blue DanubeWaltz. This really belongs in JAZZCOCKTAILS: the clarinets on the sec¬ond side sound like an embryonic jamsession, and I thought the recordshould have been labelled “by ArtToscanini and His High-Jivin’ Hun¬dred.” Aside from the overly-orches¬trated version employed, the perform¬ance is heavy handed, without any ofthe lightness of lilt and flow whichmakes Strauss. Toscanini has neverfared too well in his recordings withthe N.B.C. Symphony: this singledisc illustrates most of the flaws. Theorchestral reproduction is overly am¬plified with the resonance as dead asif it had been recorded in a tomb. Byall means stick to the older versionby George Szell and the ViennaPhilharmonic.WAV.Feature PageDon ShieldsTraveling Bazaar4“Pass the powder-puff around, yegirls of Mortar Board” ...and passthe “Loving Cup,” too, girls; the oneyou got at the sing.. .Yep, even withNita’s green belt, and Del Gordon(who forgot sometimes and sang outloud), M.B. captured ’44’s Inter-Clubagainst stiff competition from PiBelt, this year’s favorite . . .

There is a decided lack ofequipment, technicians and actors(rapidly being recruited from theranks of the 4-F’s.) And yet the stu¬dios must meet some kind of quota.As a result of this, it is gettingmore and more difficult to stand somei of this third rate hogwash slapped onthe screen. It floods the aisles andmdrowns the audience in a sickening sea of slop. The new¬est terror is the majority of war pictures. I have no ob¬jection to carefully handled propaganda or faithful doc¬umentaries, but stupid spy thrillers scattered with horn¬rimmed Japs and bestial Nazis benefit no one. In allfairness, however, I must say that many a moppet getshis dime’s worth. The double feature is largely respon¬sible for a flood of asinine, badly made B-pictures whichcan scarcely entertain anybody but sub-cretins.Perpetually delightful to us are a great number ofrevived old movies. The plots are fresh, the acting al¬most uniformly good, the dialogue crisp without beingvulgar. At present the censors are becoming enormouslyconscious of the American public’s morals. A book orplay transferred to the screen is barely recognizable.Cussing is converted into mild epithets, the situationsare deflated and tepid. Worst of all, the strong leadingcharacters are usually weakened. Technicolor or BennyGoodman is supposed to save all from utter ruin. Itdoesn’t.Original screen plays, unfortunately, seem to be onthe way out. A current best-seller booklist is the sameas a thumb-nail guide to all the big pictures of the yeaiafter next. Usually they are heralded by much fanfareso every citizen feels it his righteous duty to see them.Usually they are disappointments. The fault sometimeslies in an over-rated book, but more often in over-spec-tacularizing the film.Yet the studios manage to dig up their actors, theirtechnicians, their equipment. They should rather bepraised for surviving at all with so many staggeringproblems. Fred GottesmanOne's—SelfRecently, many educators the coun¬try over have been fretting about theplight and problems of liberal artscolleges. There is a fear that the col¬leges are being driven to extinctionby the technical or ‘practical’ exigen¬cies of war. The educators feel thatthe great need for the scientist andthe engineer, as well as the spirit ofmaterialism which is rising withoutthe stimulus of need, will frustratethe restoration of the academic liberalarts when the war ends. Though theseeducators have good cause to worry,their )’easons and attitudes in defenseof the liberal arts are wrong. But, soare the materialists.The materialists are wrong becausea vibrant, flexible, progressive worldneeds art and culture. Germany—and Nazism is only another form ofmaterialism— has destroyed its intel¬lectual life. It has committed suicide,both as a nation and a method of life.There is no such thing as a static,stagnant nation. People are not mac¬hines. Under the fascist system, theyoperate like machines; their procrea¬tive, productive and consumptive ca¬pacities are measured and utilizedlike machines, but only part of thetime. The rest of their lives must bedevoted to life processes: to thought,to hope, to love. Living is more thanjust functioning.The academicians have been wrong.In the past, they hid from the worldin their “ivory towers.” They livedin the past, hardly understood thepresent, and refused to recognize afuture. They left to the merest fewarticulate liberals ,the social, political,and economic battlefields of the world.The tremulous theoreticians refusedto soil their hands or interrupt theirdessicated trains of thought. Theywere an intellectual aristocracy aboveand beyond life. They betrayed us tothe materialists who, alone, are re¬sponsible for today. Liberalism lost itsbattle by default to the forces of re¬action. We are now engaged in warbecause of that preliminary loss.But a war may be won, though abattle lost. Well, have we profited bythe shock of our first defeat? Un¬fortunately, the American universityscene would seem to indicate a nega¬tive response. Not only is the Amer¬ican university unable to influenceworld, or national, or even state af¬fairs, but we at Chicago are pre¬sented with the ludicrous situationwhere the faculty and students of ourmost progressive -university are un¬able to elect a liberal representativein a ward that is almost totally en¬compassed by campus.Where, then, can we find the mili¬tant liberalism we seek? In the hellof Europe. Unlike the American tra¬dition of the fraternity, the footballteam, the degree mill, the Europeanuinversity has another, more vitaltradition to uphold. And that tradi¬tion is being upheld in spite of cer¬tain death. Of what consequence cana European university be under Hit¬ler’s rule? Of such consequence thatthe spark of underground resistancethroughout all Europe is fostered bythe university. Of such importancethat the Germans imprisoned 500 stu¬dent and faculty members of the Uni¬versity of Oslo, Norway, and utterlyannihilated more than 850 professorsand students of the University ofClermont-Ferrand, France.We are not in Europe; we are stu¬dents of the University of Chicago.Though the physical needs of ourcountry may not be as great as Eu¬rope’s, our need for an intellectualrenaissance is greater. And where cana more logical cradle be found, thanin our universities? President Lowellof Harvard University once said, “If ' - P«g« Fhf*LettersTo the Editor:My motives in writing to The Chi¬cago Maroon on the subject of a suit¬able motto for the University are un¬sullied by considerations of possiblepecuniary reward; I therefore shallnot trouble to limit myself to the fifty-word limit imposed upon contestants,a limit by the way, which is unpleas¬antly reminiscent of the rules set bysoap* and cereal manufacturers f orsimilar contests. I merely wish toraise one small voice in praise of theUniversity’s present motto, “CreesatScientia Vita Excolatur.”I am particularly dismayed to hearthat President Hutchins advocatesadoption of that noisy quotation fromWalt Whitman, the poet with the matof false chest hair and the mastery ofdiffuse bombast. “Solitary, singing inthe West,” he booms, “I strike up fora new world.” You will observe thatWalt says nothing about his worldbeing a better one.Granted that for a modern, Mid¬western university to boast a Latinmotto is as much an affectation as if itshould bpast a Neo-Thomist outlook,I remain of the opinion that no mottocould more exactly express the pur¬pose of a great modern universitythan “Let knowledge grow that lifemay be enriched.” It is certainly nomore ambiguous than many an im¬mortal line of prose or poetry.We will all agree, I think, that theprimary concern of a university is totrain minds to think, but we are ledfrom this thought to inquire as towhat are the proper uses of this fac¬ulty, once it has been acquired. Uponconsideration, we discover that basic¬ally, thinking is done in order to ac¬complish one of two ends, that is, tolive or to know—to survive or to satis¬fy intellectual curiosity. There is, Isay, nothing noble, nothing grand,nothing exalted in the view thatthought should be devoted principallyto improving living conditions, how¬ever much we may agree that “pure”thinking is contingent upon safe andcomfortable conditions. Likewise,there is little that is noble, grand, orexalted in the purpose of a univer¬sity that teaches people to think prin¬cipally in order to survive.It is my firm conviction that a uni¬versity could be dedicated to no great¬er purpose than to “let knowledgegrow that life may be enriched.”Sincerely,W. D. Fowler, Jr. ’39First Lieutenant, C.M.P.London, EnglandI read history aright, institutionshave rarely been killed while theywere alive. They commit suicide, ordie from lack of vigor, and then theadversary comes and buries them.”Here is the answer to the educators’lament. This is a clear challenge tous, the students who make the con¬tent and quality of a university. Ifthere be any value of our Americanuniversity, the time to stimulate andnurture that value is now.One cannot believe in Kismet. Mir¬acles are not to be had for the asking.We must do, not merely think aboutdoing. We must take real cognizanceof what goes on around us. The wordis awareness. We must re-establishour standards and re-affirm our ideals.We must become more politically as¬tute and less divided. We gain nothingand lose much by quibbling about thespectroscopic shades of liberalism,and we must not be blinded or befud¬dled by the smoke screens of propa¬gandists. Then, perchance, the minormiracle will come about, and we willbe more competently led. The cost isgreat, but the profit greater, and ifthe effort be honestly made, our heri¬tage need not be all gall.Page Six 'Maroons Win Game!Beat Williams NavyLast Monday, the University base¬ball nine won a second victory, 9-8 inseven innings. The victim was GeorgeWilliams College which put up a fairlygood fight. Catcher McKee of Wil¬liams seemed to be too slow for theMaroon runners who stole five bases.Pitcher Jack Markward of Chicago al¬lowed nine hits but the rest of thesquad backed him up effectively.Chicago trailed all the way until thesixth inning when a remarkable rallywas staged netting five runs. Mark-ward allowed Williams to fill the basein the first half of the last (seventh)inning but Ed VerSteeg entered thegame and pitched the Maroons out ofdanger with two strike outs and apop-fly.Workman of George Williams hitthe only extra base hit, a triple in thefirst inning- This hit brought in tworuns constituting the sailors big in¬ning (3 runs).
