Letters to Editor^You on Campus HaveVital Role InPeace... ’(Ed. note—The following letter is one of the most interesting that hasever been sent to the Maroon. The writer, Robert Liberman, is a forr.verUniversity student and, at present, is a lieutenant serving with the AAFoverseas. Because of the value of the message contained and because of itslength, we are publishing it in two installments, rather than delete any part.We believe the letter*s sincerity and thoughtfulness will be appreciated byevery student fortunate enough to be on this campus.)To the Editor:I left my home in Chicago for overseas duty in September1944. Since then. I’ve been fortunate inasmuch as I’ve been nearenough to the war to feel the emotions that wars evoke in menand far enough to maintain an observer’s perspective. It’ll be along time before I can return to my home, or to the U. of C., ormake eyes at the girls in Jackson Park, but when I do, it will bewith the knowledge that I’m returning to one of the few remainingdecent habitations in this world.The war in Europe has taken beauty not only out of the citiesand houses and forests, but out of the people themselves. It ishard for one to realize that eleven out of the last thirty-one yearshave been World War years for Europe. The conditions attendantupon these wars have evoked such miseries and unhappiness thatthe Young American who comes here with notions of “the glorythat is Europe” finds himself disillusioned and sometimes bitter.He finds that the supposed center of world culture is a mass ofruins, that the lofty ideals set forth in the history books areabsent from the mass of cheap and dirty conditions that dominatethe population’s existence. He finds that here, as nowhere else,evil apparently triumphs over good and that the means to successlie not so much in honest perseverance but in slippery businesstransactions. Before long, he is thoroughly confused in his ownmind. He has been.brought up to think one way and he sees thevery opposite set of values prevail.I write this to you because I feelthat the solution of what I have men¬tioned lies mainly in your hands. Youhave a means, through your paper,of bringing ideas to young people;and inferior as reading may be toactual living and experience, it cando a lot toward helping that youngAmerican when he comes back, andother young Americans before theyleave.The world has become very small,and in all but a minute proportion ofthat world, people are miserable, andto them life is a very serious business.It is realized by them that two con¬secutive generations have so destroyedthe social structure of this planetthat the happiness and prosperity(Continued on Page Six) Int House WillTeach EnglishInternational House in cooperationwith tlie University is offering in¬struction in English to students fromoutside the continental United Statesattending the universities in Chicago.Mr. Hugh R.

They state thatthere should be a retirement plan orsome form of social security for allemployees on campus; that wage in¬creases should be made, with par¬ticular emphasis on those salaries atthe lower end of the wage scale; thatthere should be a more adequate sys¬tem of job classification and auto¬matic increases for those people whohave been employed by the Universityover a period of time; and that allemployees should receive at least atwo weeks vacation with pay.

At thetime, both the people who participated and the people who heardabout it considered the affair vastly amusing. However, it didhave and it still has serious significance. Not one of the libraryreading rooms on campus has adequate artificial illumination.This is absolutely deplorable. What does the Administrationexpect of those students who wish to make use of library facilitiesat night? Shall they bring their own candles? Eyesight is aprecious thing to anybody, and an even more valuable commodityto a University student. Certainly, the stress of constant studyingto keep up With curricular requirements is enough burden fornormal eyes, without having the additional strain of reading underpoor lighting.The University cannot shrug off its responsibilities to thestudents by repeating that slightly worn saw “don't you knowthere's a war on ?". The lighting facilities in the libraries antedatethe war by many years. Moreover, materials are rapidly beingmade available, especially to high-priarity holders like, this institu¬tion. The least that can be done, if it is not possible to beginlighting improvements immediately, is to assure the students oncampus, and those other people who will desire to enter theUniversity in the future, that definite plans are being made toalter these unhealthy conditions.Nor is the matter simply one which can be properly adjustedby adding a few more bulbs to the chandeliers. Libraries all overthe country, in and out of institutions of higher learning, havefound it both expedient and wise to install reading lamps on thelibrary tables. The main branch of the Boston Public Library hashad individual reading lamps on its tables for more than seventyyears. This is no exception. It is full time for the Universityto do as much. Give us light to read by!My Dear Mr. Cohen:Last week we received and published a rather amazingletter from one Mr. Cohen, student, member of ODP, and zealouscritic of The Maroon*s drama editor. Because it is so typical of acertain kind of sublime ignorance about many of the University'sextra-curricular activities, we feel that Mr. Cohen, among others,should be made privy to certain facts.For one thing, it may shock Mr. Cohen's aesthetic soul toknow that the Office of the Dean of Students disbursed to ODPin the course of the past academic year the sum of $1675.00.Added to this amount for ODP use, were the total box officereceipts for the year—the accumulation of many, many 60 centofferings from the campus. This is a goodly sum as members ofother activities not so well endowed can attest.As for Miss Stearns, our drama editor, we believe that shewas most charitable and restrained in her review of “The In¬spector-General." Certainly, the financial condition of ODP couldaffect the performances of Gogol's masterpiece in such mattersas sets, costumes, lavishness of publicity, and the like. Whymoney matters should have affected the dramatic ability of theactors is a matter which apparently Mr. Cohen, alone, can fathom.Of course, the real mystery will be Mr. Cohen's reason forparading his stupidity and bad taste in public print. Obviously,so blatant an attempt to insult the intelligence of the long-sufferingcampus can serve as no valid justification for an inept performanceof a magnificent play.We feel certain that Miss Stearns' reputation as a capablecritic, the ODP as a campus institution, and dramaturgy as an artand as an entertainment will easily survive Mr. Cohen's peculiarrationalizations.

Friday, March 2, I945Lipstick Variables, ConstantsWould Even Faze Mr. EinsteinOther factors'are also important in the distribution ratio.The intensity of light, “i", has an inverse effect. As light becomesbrighter and brighter, less and less lipstick is distributed. Theamount dispensed in total darkness approaches infinity.(This is the concluding installment of a treatise reprinted from QueensUniversity Journal.')An unusual effect of Newton's grav¬itational constant is noted in the fol¬lowing relationship. If there are onlytwo surfaces within range, the dis¬tribution is normal. If, however, athird surface is near, the distributionfalls off to almost nothing. Yet, withthe addition of a fouth surface ofopposite gender to the third, the rateof flow is twice as great as before.Slowerker attempted a series of ex¬periments to determine the effects ofpassion, but failed at first because oftransmitter trouble. In another at¬tempt the defence failed, and accurateresults were obtained. The cause ofII, passion, is as yet unknown, butit has been shown that any amount ofit renders useless the considerationof any other variable. II causes thenumber of applications per unit timeto increase greatly. The study ofthis variable is the most difficult ofall, but Slowerker’s work seems quiteadequate.Other variables of less importanceinclude temperature, area of thetransmitter, and area of the receivingsurfaces. It seems that more lip¬stick is distributed in the month ofJune, a period of high mean tempera¬ture, than in any other month of theyear. The areas of the contactingsurfaces have a direct effect.Working EquationsD=NtT II B (1)..PPB=(A’ + A”)eD — distribution coefficient, N —number of applications, T—mean tem¬perature of the body, t—time in hours,i—capdlepower, p—pucker factor.To secure the necessary data foruse in the equations, tests must beconducted under standard conditions.One variable alone is allowed to varyin each set of determinations. Theonly apparatus necessary are the lip-Top Acting Marks AlexanderKorda Films At PlayhouseThe World Playhouse’s two Englishfilms, “Rembrandt” and “The Divorceof Lady X”, both directed some yearsago by that omnipresent gentleman,Alexander Korda, are notable, not forthe unexpected in plot or photog¬raphy, but for the excpetional inacting.“Rembrandt” can make no preten¬tions of being a true representationof that master’s life, it being con¬cerned mainly with the women whosurrounded him at various periodsafter the death of his first wife andfall from prosperity. Gertrude Law¬rence as the shrewish housekeeperand Elsa Lancaster as his lovelycountry maid give really fine perform¬ances—good enough to make youwonder why Hollywood couldn’t con¬sider sacrificing glamour for talentonce in a while. Charles Laughtonseems to have a singleness of ap¬proach to all his roles, but was good,as always, in the part of Rembrandt.If one accepts the film on a purelyromantic level, it is possible to ac¬count for everything but the frequentcitation of the scriptures, used toillustrate Mr. R’s powers of speech,his life struggles and his profundity.Even though “The Divorce of LadyX” suffers from a stock plot, among other ailments, Lawrence Olivier,Merle Oberon and Gertrude Musgrovesucceed in making this bedroomcomedy worth seeing again. It doesn’treally matter that after ten minutesyou can trace the whole sequence ofevents, given the young lawyer forcedto house a young woman for the nightbecause of a room shortage. Youknow he will try to discover heridentity, be led a merry chase, andeventually, capitulate to her charms.Bill 2 PlaysFor March 9March 9, in the East Lounge of IdaNoyes Hall, the experimental theatregroup will present two short plays, asits third offering of the quarter.

HighSociety Rag and the afternoon prog¬ressed in its aura of pure New Or¬leans jazz through all the old classics:Jazzin* Babies, Dippermouth, Pana¬ma, Tiger Rag, Canal Street, andnameless, numberless choruses of theBlues.The band was the same as posted inthis column last week—Punch Miller,trumpet; Darnell Howard, clarinet;Preston Jackson, trombone; RichardM. Jones, piano—except for the sub¬stitution of Terry Tyler on drums inthe illness of Baby Dodds, and a re¬placement of Ransom Knowling forJohn Lindsay on bass.Darnell’s clarinet thrilled consist¬ently throughout the afternoon andPunch Miller’s rugged trumpet veri¬fied his name. The peak of the sessionwas probably reached in Jazzin*Babies (alias Tin Roof Blues) whichwas flawless in execution and spirit,and carried away audience and bandin one body.Almost as exceptional as the musicwas th§ crowd assembled to hear it.George Hoefer was perfect in hisrole of casual m.c.ing and contributedno small bit to the success of theafternoon.

The work attempts to treatBrazilian melodic lines in terms ofBach. Only the second movement,however, a preludiot may be properlyconsidered evocative of the spirit of Bach: here, after a heavy introduc¬tion in late-Romantic style, a themeof classical simplicity is stated overthe accompaniment of the remainingseven celli divisi. The two themes arethen alternated. The finale, a fugue,was presented with some thicknessof tone so that the responses werenot clear at some points. Aside fromthis and a momentary unevenness atthe beginning, however, the work waswell played.The Trio No, 3 for piano, violin,and ’cello, brought forward PerryO’Neil as a pianist of great inter¬pretative ability and technical power.His digital dexterity carried thework along at a pace which prevent¬ ed it from bogging down, as it mighthave in less capable hands. Thework is dry, as are so many of Villa-Lobos’ attempts to adhere more close¬ly to academic procedure.The program opened with the Qua-fMor, previously mentioned, whichwas largely a display piece forJoseph Vito’s harp. The second andthird movements employ the chorusto emulate the winds blowing overBrazilian plains. Mus. 2/c Cecil Lee-son should also be singled out for hisexcellent saxophone playing. Theprogram ended with Choros No, 7,sextet for flute, oboe, clarinet, altosaxophone, bassoon, violin, and ’cello,a work which went thru three stages:Stravirtsky’s Saare du printempSfFerde Grofe’s On the Trail, and De¬bussy’s Et la lune descend sur letemple. Well played; but highlyderivative music.—W. R. W.Dave JohnstoneMore For Your Measuredesperate man who feels that in order to breathe he mustbreak the window” is Virginia Woolf's estimation of the modempoet. It is, essentially, David Grene's as he hops about theclassroom bemoaning ‘'the apple-tree, the singing and the gold”of former age when poetry was socialized and tamed to the tenorof The People. Indeed, such a master of the craft as SeldonRodman blushes in confusion at Auden's plea, “Sir, no man'senemy, forgiving all. But will his negative inversion, be prodigal”*The poets themselves, for the mostpart, pass off this condition as theinevitable outcome of The Age ofSchizophrenia: they think they seearound them civilization disintegra¬ting into its component parts, eachpart an impermeable globule revolv¬ing in its esoteric orbit. They deny,with Eliot, their Christ. They havelost faith in their own evolution anddeserted their house of fame for thecave of .the classicists. It is unfor¬tunate they utter their pessimism, forit is hard to conceive that they believein it; else they would stop writing.For art demands a consummate be¬lief in one’s self and in society, asthe greater self, just as true beliefentails a constant play of the evolu¬tionary force of criticism. This rela¬tionship is paralleled in science byhypothesis and analysis. When eitherof these latter do not act, scienceceases; whenever belief and/or criti¬cism fail, art is not produced.Eliot’s fame is even now fading;Rodman’s, in comparison, never was.We have yet to realize the dignity ofJames Joyce and, after two thousandyears, are only commencing to probeMr. Greene’s Sophocles for all he con¬tains. These poets remain becausethey believed in their work and push¬ed their individual art-form to itshighest possible achievement, despitethe frustrated cries of their contem¬poraries on the intellectual plateausupported by the music of the poeticline, yet viewing a pregnant atmos¬phere which can only be condensed byanalytic effort. In no wise shouldthe poet be blamed for his reader’sneglect. The reader can only inherita poem by working for it, just as itcan only be written through the poet’sintense concentration. Poetry, as itwere the distillation of prose, likewhisky, must be -enjoyed slowly andthoughtfully: otherwise, the readerCharles Tyndale, an Internation¬al House resident was fatally in¬jured in an automobile accidentTuesday. He died Thursday after¬noon in St. Lukes Hospital. must experience a drunken depression.We have, then, the Modem Tradi¬tion. In place of the myths ofSophocles; we have the puns of Joyce:neither guilty of concession to thegroundlings in the manner of Shakes¬peare’s murders. As the generalknowledge of the masses has prog¬ressed, so has the esotericism of thepoet increased. Art remains, themore sensuous for its intellectualism;the more capable of rewarding the onesincere enough to approach it: Croe¬sus still must send to Delphi for theprophecy. •Bahette CasperAroundThe Town“Hey,” shouted Otto, “I’m starving.We haven’t eaten in two weeks—it’syour duty to the Maroon to feed me!”Thoughtfully glaring at him overTrig, we decided to abandon Mathfor Otto’s health. What some peoplewon’t do for a by-line!As a just reward we took him tothe Park Row Room of the StevensHotel. Here we discovered a perfectall-round date spot. Whether youplan to spend the whole evening overa long dinner, or to drop in for thelast dance before twelve, this is yourideal.You’d better count on its costingyou more than usual dait-bait, butfor special occasions it can’t be beat.Unlike most Saturday evening spe¬cials, there is no cover or minimum,and tax isn’t excessive since there isno floor show either.Instead, we found soft music fordancing, food that satisfies and, un¬heard of miracle, good service, be itlunch or dinner time. Thanks toByrne’s new edict, there is now a newattraction—dinner dancing fromabout 7:00 P.M.So despite mid-night curfew, Chi¬cago’s winds, and demanding oc¬casions you can still plan on a morethan pleasant time at the Park Rowwithout leaving too big a dent inwallets. . . . B. C. University AirsRadio ShowsTwice ^eeklyThe University of Chicago’s RoundTable, presented every Sunday at12:30, and the Human Adventure,Wednesday evenings at 7:30, are thetwo radio features of the Universitybroadcasted over large network. Theyare considered to be two of the fore¬most public service programs on theair toda3^In its 16th year, the Round Tableis carried by 94 stations in the UnitedStates and broadcasted over shortwave to Alaska. First begun in 1931,it is the oldest continuously broad¬casted public service program in thecountry. It’s aim is to clarify publicissues and stimulate listeners to fur¬ther discussion' and research. TheRound Table studio, located in MitchellTower, is today accoustically one ofthe finest in the country. The valueof the time provided for the RoundTable by the National Broadcastingcompany during its years on the net¬work totals several million dollars.The programs’ timeliness is accentu¬ated by the fact that the broadcastsare seldom planned more than tendays in advance of air time, andscheduled programs have been fre¬quently canceled to permit a specialbroadcast on a particularly recent3vent. For, as the time Dr. EduardBenes, former president of Checho¬slovakia, consented to discuss the Ger¬man invasion of his nation, the sched¬uled program was canceled and a newone planned on only twenty-four hoursnotice. The topics for discussion areselected by the Radio Office, in collabo¬ration with interested members of thefaculty. The University has completefreedom in the determination of sub¬jects and speakers.The Human Adventure is in itssixth year of existence, and is nowon the Mutual network, and its themeis to depict for radio listeners thecontributions made by the Universitiesof the World in the improvement ofsociety, culture and science. It ispresented in dramatized form, and iswritten by various authorities in theparticular field with which the dif¬ferent programs deal. Walter Yust,Editor of the Encyclopedia Britanica,serves as narrator and Sherman Drierproduces the program from stationWGN. P«9« Ffvif^oQuadranglesMiscellany. .Mr. Glamor PantsInhibitions of long standing were all released Friday night atthe Chapel Union Carnival. Would-be Yankees threw their armsoff, handsome dark men were predicted by the fortune-teller forman-starved females, and club girls dashed madly around button¬holing every one who looked willing and able to spend money andvote for a Mr. Glamor Pants. Voting was fast and furious until10:45 when final tallies of the votes (a penny per) were checked;toward the end, lipsticky kisses and cigarettes were offered forpennies. Sigma's Marty Hansen and Quads' Walter were tied forsecond (incidentally, Walter was the only candidate who rated acorsage—one flower) while Chi Rho's Larry Keilman, his lapelloaded with Chi Rho pins, pulled in 5,707 votes to take the titleof Mr. Glamor Pants of 1945. Larry's happy about his new name,but refuses to take any gifts of lacy undergarments. ■,V:;.mm<^1* * *The Unwilling FewLast week we were delivering our best sales talk for the benefit ofpassers through Harper Library trying to sell Maroons. Our repertoire var¬ies from merely holding up the back page and asking coyly whether they’dlike to get a nice pin-up picture to the monologue on how good the Maroonis for one’s soul. In desperation we marched up to one obdurate person andasked him why he wouldn’t buy the Maroon. He backed away and snarled,“I’d rather remain ignorant!” Maybe a knock is as good as a compliment •..4I 4i «Good AimLieutenant Norman H.

He insisted his “alibi” was that the weather was lousy!* * 4tSocial Notes from All OverThe formal “C” dance of last Saturday seemed to be a howling successfrom all reports. The band was good, everyone looked beautiful, and theonly dubious note was sounded by one girl who said, “Well...it was a nicecrowd, but it was almost all sailors.” Hillel’s Shushans Carnival was alsovoted Most Successful of the Year.. Maynard Wishner put the crowd in thesame place. Wish, by the way, wore a sign around him which read“Kiss Me—I Like It!” Unfortunately, no one seemed bold enough to take him up onthe proposition, if it was a proposition.. .The sterling institution of U.T.evidently is still a sterling institution despite the midnight curfew; crowdsof students have been spotted playing bridge and tanking up on the beer.* * *Another Blair AnecdoteProfessor Blair may have collected enough American humor to make upa book, but he’s still working on more material for a second (or so we hear).The other day in class Point Counter Point was being discussed. Mr. Blairremarked, “It’s obvious that this book is A.F. not B.F.,” and, when the classlooked bewildered, he explained that A.F. signified After Freud.* * *Our Favorite SuicideMaude Lynn who hung herself from a window in the Anthropology officeis still making the tabloids. We read about her tragic death in the Universityof Chicago Magazine’s last issue and it brings back fond memories of lastsummer when some frivolous-minded undergraduates carefully constructeda dummy, clothed her in shoes and a summer suit, and strung her up witha real hangman’s knot. Two police cars and four plain clothes men showedup after a deluge of calls to the Hyde Park police station.* * *Love in the Spring TimeWeddings in the near future include those of Martha Jackson, MarylouLandes, and Emmy Hoyer. Ginny Nichols’ and Bob Dille’s engagement wasannounced last week. Gerry Bovbjerg’s man was in last week and she’s nowwearing her ring. Pat Knight appeared this week with a Theta Chi pinfrom Michigan and she swears it’s only a platonic friendship. Kelly Hallgirls must be getting hopeful too—just the other day we saw a sign in oneof the windows advertising a Bridal Suite.* * *Pure GossipSaturday will be the end of club rushing and we hope all the hair-pullingwill be ended then when the demure little rushees refuse or accept their bids. /Bill Roberts and Tor Richter were on campus this week—and Ham Craig jwill be in March 1.

Nowhereelse than in the youths of Americancolleges can the enthusiasm about thefuture and hope for a good societybe found. Just as it is taken forgranted that “things will be all right”by most of us back home, so is it takenequally for granted that all that isgood and progressive in modernsociety is dead and gone by the ma¬jority here. The youth of Germanyis perverted, the youth of France isspiritually shot with starvation, dis¬ease' and disillusionment as is theyouth of Italy. Poli^ youths areeither dead or desirous only of a lifefree of torture. A human being cantake only so much physical pain andmental hardship before the will toresist, the will to initiate bold action,the enthusiasm required for any socialimprovement is irrevocably shatter¬ed; and precisely that condition pre¬vails in practically all of EasternEurope and in too much of the restof Europe.To me the beautiful things that theworld has given people: great stories,and the greatest thing of all—Free¬dom—have been all the more greatbecause of the fight that the earnest,common people have had to make inorder to realize them. Is all of itgoing to be lost? Many of the fel¬lows over here do not ask themselvesthis question: they may phrase itdifferently or, perhaps, not at all, butthey feel the issue, some less eloquent¬ly than others, and the shape of ourfuture society will depend a helluvalot on the answers these boys can^nd in the next few years. Wherewar has given them despair, peacemust give them hope; where incom¬petent leadership has destroyed re¬spect for authority, peace must re¬store both competence and faith;where foreign countries have evi¬denced corruption and poverty, Amer¬ica must show honesty and wisdom,in handling a mishandled generation.Modem war shatters a man’s abilityto think, so give him thoughts, greatthoughts. It breaks a man’s desireto learn things in a slow organizedfashion. He must therefore have hisopinion formed properly or else hisbitterness and irustration at thesociety that deprived him of what hefelt was more important than shoot¬ing Germans or Japs might easilymake him dangerous.Throughout all his experiences,G. I. Joe has maintained one dream,perhaps a false one, but still a verysweet one. He remembers his home,and usually it is the very opposite ofwhat he can now call “home”. Heremembers his girl, and invariablythe remembrance conjures a picturethe very opposite of anything femi¬nine that he can presently think of.He remembers his native climate andagain it usually is the opposite of the' miserable weather conditions prevaV-ing around the battle zones of theearth. From all of this emerges theconcept that the U. S. is the oppositeof all that is ugly and miserable else¬where. It is a beautiful dream andserves the young American well whenhe needs something on which to hanga hope, a future, a proof to himselfthat it’s worth while to continue tolive.

Themeet began with Alvo Martin takinga second in the mile, after which JackKendall and Bob Collins won the lowand high hurdles, respectively. DaveHjull and Brenton Stevens contributed10 points by winging the quarter andhalf mile, in that order. In the fieldevents. Chuck Ferris won the polevault and Dave Weaver took the highjump with a leap of 5* 5”.The junior team won its competi¬tion by the score of 41 to 18. Out¬standing performances were turned inby Bob Linsicone, who tied the all-time school record for the low hurdles,and Patrick Byrnes, who won the 660in 1:34 and the high jump at 6’ 2”.rr hlverines^Illinois ClashA preview of the probable outcomeof the Western Conference indoortrack meet, to be held here March 10,will be shown when Michigan, power¬ful squad clashes with the fightingmini tomorrow. Michigan is the de¬fending Big Ten champ and has re¬tained key men in practically everyevent to hold over their 1944 power¬house.Illinois has veteran distance manBob Kelly to lead them to what maybe their best chance of challengingthe well-balanced Wolverines. Kellyhas given up his pet event, the 440,to run in the half mile and mile. Theconference quarter mile champ is ex¬pected to give Michigan’s Hume twinsa run for their money in the mile.An overwhelming defeat by eitherteam is unlikely, but in case such athing ocurred, the indoor conferencechampion would be fairly easy toname. However, Wisconsin’s Badgersand the surprisingly powerful Min¬nesota squad may pose a threat tothe conference leaders and with sucha meet as the one coming up March10, the only answer can come from theChicago fieldhouse that evening. Working with an 18 mansquad in the University Field-house, Coach Kyle Anderson re¬ports good progress with thebaseball team. Anderson hasplaced stress on bunting and in¬field practice with Anderson do¬ing the hitting to the fledglingplayers. Going into their thirdweek of practice, the men aregradually coming around intocondition and working on theirthrowing and catching. Thesquad expects to go out doorsas soon as the weather permits.Jay Barker is developing into thekey Maroon infielder at third basewhile Lefty Hawks looks strong at thepitching post. Second year collegeman Jim Vaughn is awaiting theresults of his tests, but if all goeswell, Anderson will have a good manat the back stop position. Bill Knapp,outfield man and one of the strongesthitters of the squad, has been laid upwith a bad ankle and will be out ofaction for some time.There is still room for 15 or 20more men on the squad as Andersonwould like at least 18 first stringplayers. Until the baseball mentorcan be sure of a strong squad whichwill be able to stay with the gamefor the entire season he will refrainfrom scheduling a formal list ofgames. The team is practicing inthe Fieldhouse every day from 12 to2 and any men wishing to sign upshould see Anderson there.Foster Takes TwoGames and LeadLast week in the girls’ league, Fos¬ter fans saw their team chalk up twomore victories which gives them aclean first place in the 19-team com¬petition which is going in Ida Noyesevery afternoon.

Jewk HillTime InIn the New York SundayTIMES of this week, ArthurDaley wrote a column on ProBasketball, ancient style. Someof the slightly unusual practicesmight interest you, so here goes.Daley talks of the time HoneyRussell played pro ball in hisfirst game against the famousHorse Haggerty. Haggertygreeted Russell with a smile andthen told him “if you once wan¬der past the center line. Tilbreak your back.” That was aquarter of a century ago.It seems that the spectators were,so rabid that any visiting quintetnever worried about winning a game.Its chief concern was how the playerswould escape in one piece.Honey Russell played in as manyas 5 different leagues in one sea¬son, performing in 125 games In asingle year. He had five differentsets of rules to contend with andon one night he’d play in a ropecage with open baskets and no back,boards: the next night, it would bea steel cage with the baskets 12inches out from the boards; then itwould be wire backboards with thebaskets only 6 inches out.The players had their own ways ofplaying when the spectators got tooviolent. By violent, we mean tryingto rattle the players by throwinglighted cigarets at them or sprayingthem with tobacco juice. The be-heckled athletes would often clatheir helpless victims against heatin;equipment near the cage. Any oldhot stove or radiator served to takethe enthusiasm out of their opponents.When Snooks Down, another bask¬etball great, played on his own floor,his mother would be sitting in thethird row. Snooks would get his maninto proper position and then shovehim into the spectators, then MommaDowns would go to work with a hatpinand do her best to incapacitate him.In closing, Mr. Daley refers tothe above experiences aa the *goodold days’ but says that the gameis matured now and the spectatorsno longer drop tables from bal¬conies as they once did in Brooklynon Referee Jack Murray.Burton, Phi Gams Win Final GamesWith the close of the official intra¬mural season at the University ofChicago, teams can be chosen for theirwell earned ticket to the play-offs.And from a look at the box score,and from what Ensign Paresi, headof intra-murals says, they shouldreally be interesting from both thespirit and ball-play angle.Burton 30 finished up their unde¬feated season by beating Psi U 22-21,in a hotly contested match. The Bur¬ton boys moved way ahead in the firsthalf, 17-10, but in the second part ofthe fray Psi U put on a last minutedrive and came within one point oftaking the game; Time, however, tookmatters into its own hands and stoppedthe spurt by the referee’s watch. Thegame was marked otherwise only bythe excessive number of personalfouls on both sides, and the high scor¬ing of Rudolf of the OOO’s with 11points. The Phi Gams finished in a likemanner, undefeated, by walking awayfrom Hill’s Entry, 30-16. The Hillteam, playing with sleeper offense,which throttled their oponents of¬fense, came close in the first half, butlack of substitutes told in the second.Patinkin and Captain Hill led thescoring for the vanquished team.Coffee forging ahead for the PhiGames with nine points.In the Billings league. Senior MedicsI are in the top spot of the Alpha sec¬tion, the Soph Medics having to becontest with the runner-up position.Billings is ahead in the Bets Section,and Navy Frosh and the Senior MedicsII are tied for the second spot.The College League play-off betweenBurton 600 and Burton 800 will takeplace on the full court at Bartlettnext Tuesday night, and despite theloss of one of 800’s key men, it looksas though it will be a spirited game.
