University Press, 1952. $3.00.Written in the author's usually lively andprovocative style with a sprinkling ofhyperboles and of down-to-earth illustrations from such things as box carsand scrap bags, this book is addressedto everyone interested in the accuracyof the English New Testament whichhe reads. It consists of an expandedrewriting of a series of lectures givenat the University of Virginia in 1947on the manuscript sources of the NewTestament and how they have beenUsed to reconstruct the Greek text uponwhich the various English versions arebased.In answering the question of his title,Dean Colwell reviews briefly the historyof the search for the oldest and bestGreek text. It is the oldest text andthe text with the most respectable ancestry which is the "best," and not thefirst printed Greek or the oldest Englishfor both of these are late and inferior inform. This late form of text unfortunately dominated the scene for threecenturies or so after the beginning ofprinting and lay behind the earlyEnglish translations up to and includingthe King James version of 1611. Colwellpoints out a number of important differences between this text and the textavailable today in such an edition asthat published by Westcott and Hort in1881.A test of various English translationsin terms of this far superior text provides an interesting table by which thereader may gauge the accuracy of theEnglish version which he uses. Thistest puts Goodspeed at the top and putsthe King James at the bottom as "undoubtedly the most inaccurate EnglishNew Testament in common use today."In this connection a sample passage fromthe Gospel of John provides 64 readingsin which the Westcott-Hort edition differs from the late medieval or "received"text. The reader should be cautionedhere that this evaluation of accuracysays nothing directly about style or readability. However, it is generally true,as Colwell says, that "the translator maydiminish, but he cannot materially increase, the accuracy of the particularGreek New Testament, from which hemakes his translation."In view of recent, important discoveries and developments in the area oftextual study the question may well beraised whether the Westcott-Hort textis too readily assumed to be the "best."Actually, some recent translators, likethe committee on the Revised StandardVersion, claim to determine their own"best" text more or less directly fromthe manuscript evidence, at least indoubtful passages. But such procedurehas usually resulted in a text very closeto Westcott and Hort. There are exceptions and there will doubtless be moreexceptions. "The Best Is Yet To Be,"the last chapter of the volume underconsideration, intimates as much, for itdescribes the current, international project for the collection and publication9 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEof the greatest amount of evidence forthe text— consonant with means and opportunity — which has ever been assembled. The two chief centers of thisvast undertaking are at Oxford andChicago. As chairman of the AmericanExecutive Committee of the project DeanColwell gives us his account out of abackground of this contemporary andmajor activity on the textual front.It is an account which clearly and effectively demonstrates the importanceand relevance of textual studies forevery reader and interpreter of theEnglish New Testament.Allen Wikgren, Associate Professor,FederatedN Theological Faculty.THE SWEDISH THEATRE OF CHICAGO, 1868-1950. By Henrietta C. K.Naeseth, Ph.D. '31. Augustana HistoricalSociety Publications, Rock Island, 1951.390 pp., illustrated. $3.00.This comprehensive and thorough-goingwork by Miss Naeseth will be welcomedby all scholars concerned with the history of theatrical activities in the UnitedStates, and particularly by those concerned with the foreign-language theatrein this country. The casual reader, too,especially if he is of Swedish descentand with Chicago forebears, will findmuch of interest.The contents will be a revelation toanyone who examines the book. Evenspecialists of the foreign-language theatrein the United States will be amazedat the rich variety and the long extentof the Swedish theatre in Chicago. Although the initial date of the study is1868, Miss Naeseth indicates clearly thatthe Swedish performances doubtless began some years before that; and theywere to continue for more than eightdecades. The records of the performances over this long period are surprisingly complete; only the earlier yearsare somewhat scanty in data, largelybecause of the great fire of 1871.The Swedish theatre of Chicago neverattained professional status, but MissNaeseth suggests that "it cannot beproperly designated as amateur. Thenucleus of capable and experiencedactors in the main companies of variousperiods provided performances that couldbe approved by professional standardsin the plays that constituted a realtheatre: the full evening programs ofplays or the full length plays seriouslyundertaken."As the author points out, the Swedishtheatre in Chicago may in a sense beconsidered to some degree representative of the foreign-language theatre ofAmerica in general; thus- here one findssome of the same characteristics of theGerman-American theatre— a marked informality, amateur players essentially,objections on the part of church groups,adverse criticism of Sunday performances, and some opposition from othernational groups.For the reader who knows relativelylittle of the Swedish plays, Miss Naesethhas made the way easy with full andample synopses of the more importantpieces. The book is further enrichedfor the general reader, as well as forthe specialist, by the inclusion of muchmaterial often not found in the annalsof the theatre: ample information onChicago's Swedish colony, biographicaldata on the actors, observations on thetastes and prejudices of the audiences,comments on institutions and organizations such as the church arid newspaperwith which the theatre came in con- MAGAZINEVolume 45 November, 1952 Number 2PUBLISHED BY THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATIONExecutive EditorHOWARD W.

They lack the enterprise, in their fatalistic village cultures, to see why people want toknock themselves out for sportsmanship's remote ideals; they cannot linksuch rituals, even by remote analogy,with their own. These peasants aresimilarly unable to be caught up inmodern politics, or to find anythingmeaningful in the Voice of America.Nevertheless, football itself, like somany other games with balls andgoals, originated in a peasant culture.Football, in its earliest Englishform, was called the Dane's Headand it was played in the tenth andeleventh centuries as a contest inkicking a ball between towns. Thelegend is that the first ball was askull, and only later a cow's bladder.In some cases, the goals were thetowns themselves, so that a team entering a village might have pushedthe ball several miles en route. KingHenry II (1154-89) proscribed thegame, on the ground that it interfered with archery practice. Played inDublin even after the ban, footballdid not become respectable or legaluntil an edict of James I reinstatedit. The reason was perhaps lessideological than practical: firearmshad obsoleted the art of bowmanship.RIESMAN (SEATED) AND REUEL DENNEYNOVEMBER, 1952 During the following century, football as played by British schoolboysbecame formalized, but did notchange its fundamental pattern offorceful kicking. In 1823, Ellis ofRugby made the mistake of pickingup the ball and running with ittoward the goal. All concernedthought it a mistake: Ellis was sheepish, his captain apologetic. The mistake turned into innovation when itwas decided that a running rulemight make for an interesting game.The localism, pluralism, and studiedcasualness of English sports made itpossible to try it out without securing universal assent- — three or fourpurely local variants of football, football-hazing and "wall games" arestill played in various English schools.Rugby adopted "Rugby" in 1841,several years after Cambridge hadhelped to popularize it.This establishment of the runningor Rugby game, as contrasted withthe earlier, kicking game, had severalimportant results. One was that theold-style players banded themselvesThis article is a condensed version of a paper which appeared inthe Winter, 1951, issue of theAmerican Quarterly entitled Footballin America: A Study in CulturalDiffusion. Professor and AssociateProfessor of the Social Sciences, respectively, the authors, with NathanGlazer, published The Lonely Crowdin 1950. Professor Riesman againcollaborated with Mr. Glazer whenFaces in the Crowd appeared lastspring. Professor Denney is theauthor of a volume of poems, TheConnecticut River. together for the defense of theirgame, and formed the London Football Association (1863). This name,abbreviated to "Assoc," appears tohave been the starting point for theneologism, "Soccer," the name thatthe kicking game now goes by inmany parts of the English-speakingworld. A second result was that theEnglish, having found a new game,continued to play it without tightrules until the Rugby Union of 1871.As we shall see, this had its effects onthe American game. The third andmost important result of Ellis' "mistake," of course, was that he laid thefoundations for everything fundamental about the American game betweenabout 1869 and the introduction ofthe forward pass (still illegal inRugby).In the Colonial period and rightdown to the Civil War, Americansplayed variants of the kicking football game on their town greens andschoolyards. After the War, Yale andHarvard served as the culturally receptive importers of the English.game. Harvard, meeting McGill in agame of Rugby football in 1874,brought the sport to the attention ofcollegiate circles and the press — twoidentifications important for thewhole future development of thegame. But if Harvard was anopinion leader, Yale was a technologyical one. A Yale student who h€a\studied at Rugby was instrumentalin persuading Yale men to play theRugby game and was, therefore, responsible for some of Yale's earlyleadership in the sport.5Soon after the period described byWalter Camp,1 it became clear thatAmerican players, having tasted the"running" game, were willing to giveup the soccer form. It became equallyclear that they either did not want to,or could not, play Rugby according tothe British rules. "The Americanplayers found in this code (EnglishRugby rules) many uncertain andknotty points which caused muchtrouble in their game, especially asthey had no traditions, or older andmore experienced players, to whom&; they could turn for the necessary ex-& planations," says Camp. An example1$ of such a problem was English ruleK number nine:"A touchdown is when a player,putting his hand on the ball in touchor in goal, stops it so that it remains^j dead, or fairly so."The ambiguity of the phrase"fairly so" was increased by the state-S ment in rule number eight that theball is dead "when it rests absolutelymotionless on the ground."Camp's description of these earlydifficulties is intensely interesting to& the student of cultural diffusion notonly because of what Camp observedabout the situation, but also becausefjS of what he neglected to observe. Consider the fact that the development ofH Rugby rules in England was accomplished by admitting into the rulesomething that we would call a legalfiction. While an offensive runnerwas permitted to carry the ball, thecondition of his doing so was that heshould happen to be standing behindthe swaying "scrum" (the tangledplayers) at the moment the ball popped back out to him. An intentional"heel out" of the ball was not permitted; and the British rules of themid-nineteenth century appear totake it for granted that the differencebetween an intentional and an unintentional heel-out would be clear toeveryone. Ellis' mistake became institutionalized — but still as a mistake.This aspect of Rugby rule-makinghad important implications for theAmerican game.British players, according to tradition as well as according to rules,could be expected to tolerate suchambiguity as that of the heel-out rulejust as they tolerated the ambiguity1. Walter Camp and Lorin F. Deland,Football (Boston: Houghton Mifflin Co.,¦ 1896). . of the "dead" ball. They could beexpected to tolerate it not only because of their personal part in developing new rules but also (a point weshall return to) because they had anaudience with specific knowledge ofthe traditions to assist them.In America it was quite anothermatter to solve such problems. NoMuzafer Sherif was present to solidify the perceptions of "nearly so,"and the emotional tone for resolvingsuch questions without recurrent dispute could not be improvised. Rather,however, than dropping the Rugbygame at that point, because of intolerance for the ambiguities involved, an effort was undertaken, atonce systematic and gradual, to fillin by formal procedures the vacuumof etiquette and, in general, to adaptthe game to its new cultural home."Downs" and "offside"The upshot of American procedurewas to assign players to the legalizedtask of picking up and tossing the ballback out of scrimmage. This in turncreated the role of the center, and thecentering operation. This in turn ledto a variety of problems» in definingthe situation as one of "scrimmage"or "non-scrimmage," and the wholequestion of the legality of passing theball back to intended runners. American football never really solved theseproblems until it turned its attention,in 1880, to a definition of the scrimmage itself. The unpredictable English "scrum" or scramble for a freeball was abandoned, and a crude lineof scrimmage was constructed acrossthe field. Play was set in motion bysnapping the ball.Meanwhile Americans became impatient with long retention of the ballby one side. It was possible for ateam that was ahead in score toadopt tactics that would insure itsretention of the ball until the endof the period. By the introduction ofa minimum yardage-gain rule in1882, the rulemakers assured the frequent interchange of the ball betweensides.The effect of this change was todramatize the offensive - defensivesymmetry of the scrimmage line, tolocate it sharply in time ("downs"),and to focus attention not only on thesnapping of the ball, but also on theproblem of "offside" players. In theEnglish game, with no spatially andTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEtemporally delimited "line of scrimmage," the offside player was penalized only by making him neutral inaction until he could move to a position back of the position of the ball.In the American game, the newfocus on centering, on a scrimmageline, and on yardage and downs, created the need for a better offside rule.From that need developed offsiderules that even in the early years resembled the rules of today. Americanrulemakers were logically extending anative development when they decided to draw an imaginary linethrough the ball before it had beencentered, to call this the "line ofscrimmage," and to make this line,rather than the moving ball itself, theoffside limit in the goalward motionof offensive players. At first, lined-upplayers of the two sides were allowedto stand and wrestle with each otherwhile waiting for the ball to be centered; only later was a neutral zoneintroduced between the opposinglines.Even with such a brief summaryof the rule changes, we are in a position to see the operation of certainrecurrent modes or patterns of adaptation. The adaptation begins withthe acceptance of a single pivotal innovation (running with the ball).The problems of adaptation beginwith the realization that this singleinnovation has been uprooted from arich context of meaningful rules andtraditions, and does not work well intheir absence.Pleasing the crowdStill more complex problems ofadaptation develop when it is realizedthat the incompleteness of the adaptation will not be solved by a reference to the pristine rules. In the firstplace, the rules are not pristine (theEnglish rules were in the process ofdevelopment themselves) . In the second place, the tradition of interpreting them is not present in experienced players. In the third place,even if it were, it might not be adaptable to the' social character and moodof the adapters.Let us put it this way. The Americans, in order to solve the heel-outproblem, set in motion a redesign ofthe game that led ultimately to timedcentering from a temporarily fixedline of scrimmage. Emphasis completely shifted from the kicking game ; it also shifted away from the combined kicking and running possibleunder Rugby rules; it shifted almostentirely in the direction of an emphasis on ball-carrying.Meanwhile, to achieve this emphasis, the game made itself vulnerableto slowdowns caused by one team's retention of the ball. It not only lostthe fluidity of the original game, butran up against a pronounced American taste for action in sports, visibleaction. There is evidence that evenif players had not objected to suchslowdowns, the spectators would haveraised a shout. The yardage rule wasthe way this crisis was met. This, inturn, led to an emphasis on massplay, and helped to create the earlytwentieth-century problems of football. But before we consider this stepin the game's development we mustturn to examine certain factors in thesport's audience reception.A problem posed for the student ofcultural diffusion at this point can bestated as follows: What factor or factors appear to have been most influential in creating an American gamepossessing not only nationally distinctrules, but also rules having a specificflavor of intense legality about manya point of procedure left more or lessup in the air by the British game?We can now go beyond the rulemaking aspect of the game and assertthat the chief factor was the importance of the need to standardize rulesto supply an ever-widening collegiatefield of competition, along with theaudience this implied. The Englishrule-makers, it appears, dealt with asituation in which amateur play wasrestricted to a fairly limited numberof collegians and institutions. Thepower of localism was such that manyan informality was tolerated, and intended to be tolerated, in the rulesand their interpretation. Americanfootball appeared on the Americancampus at the beginning of a longperiod in which intercollegiate andinterclass sportsmanship was a problem of ever-widening social participation and concern. Football etiquetteitself was in the making.Thus, it appears that when earlyAmerican teams met, differences ofopinion could not be resolved between captains in rapid-fire agreement or penny-tossing as was the casein Britain. American teams did notdelegate to their captains the role ofNOVEMBER, 1952powerful comrade-in-antagonism withopposing captains, or, if they did,they felt that such responsibilitieswere too grave.Into just such situations footballplayers thrust all of the force of theirdemocratic social ideologies, all theirprejudice in favor of equalitarian andcodified inter-player attitudes. Undoubtedly, similar considerations alsoinfluenced the audience. Mark Ben-hey, a British sociologist who is familiar with the games played on bothsides of the Atlantic, * points out that,whereas the American game was developed in and for a student group,the English game was played beforequite large crowds who, from a classstandpoint, were less homogeneousthan the players themselves, thoughthey were as well informed as thelatter in the "law" of the game.Rugby football was seldom played bythe proletariat; it was simply enjoyedas a spectacle.Division of laborHeld by the critical fascination theBritish upper strata had for the lowerstrata, the audience was often hardlymore interested in the result of thegame than in judging the players as"gentlemen in action." "The players," Mr. Benney writes, "had to demonstrate that they were sportsmen,that they could 'take it'; and aboveall they had to inculcate the (politically important) ideology that legality was more important than power."The audience was, then, analogousto the skilled English jury at law,ready to be impressed by obedienceto traditional legal ritual and form,and intolerant of "bad form" in their"betters."The early Yale games, played before a tiny, non-paying audience,lacked any equivalent incentive toagree on a class-based ritual of "goodform," and when the audiences camelater on, their attitude toward upper-class sportsmanship was much moreambivalent — they had played thegame too, and they were unwilling tosubordinate themselves to a collegiatearistocracy who would thereby havebeen held to norms of correctness.The apparent legalism of many American arguments over the rules wouldstrike British observers as simply averbal power-play.Such differences in the relation ofthe game to the audience, on this side of the Atlantic, undoubtedly speededthe development of the specificallyAmerican variant. Native, too, arethe visual and temporal properties ofthe game as it developed even, before1900: its choreography could be enjoyed, if not always understood, bynonexperts, and its atomistic patternin time and space could seem naturalto audiences accustomed to such patterns in other foci of the national life.The midfield dramatization of lineagainst line, the recurrent startingand stopping of field action aroundthe timed snapping of a ball, thetrend to a formalized division oflabor between backfield and line,above all, perhaps, the increasinglyprecise synchronization of men inmotion — these developments make itseem plausible to suggest that thewhole procedural rationalization ofthe game which we have describedwas not unwelcome to Americans, andthat it fitted in with other aspects oftheir industrial folkways.Spurred by interest in the analysisof the athletic motions of men andanimals, Eadweard Muybridge wasgetting out his movie-like action shortsof the body motion (more preoccupied even than Vesalius or da Vinciwith the detailed anatomy of movement) ¦ at about the same time thatCoach Woodruff at Pennsylvania(1894) was exploring the possibilities for momentum play: linemenswinging into motion before the ballis snapped, with the offensive team,forming a wedge, charging toward anopposition held waiting by the offsiderule.The big stickSince we do not believe in historicalinevitability, nor in the necessaryhomogeneity of a culture, we do not ssuggest that the American game offootball developed as it did out ofcultural compulsion and could nothave gone off in quite different directions. Indeed, the very effectivenessof momentum play, as a mode of bulldozing the defense, led eventually tothe rule that the line must refrain from motion before the ball issnapped. For the bulldozing led, orwas thought to lead, to a great increase in injuries. After a particularly bloody battle between Pennsylvania and Swarthmore in 1905_, Presi dent Roosevelt himself took a handand insisted on reform.2It is apparent from the brutalityscandals of 1905 that President Roosevelt reacted against roughhouse notso much because it was physical violence, but for two related reasons.The first and openly implied reasonwas that it was connected with anunsportsmanlike attitude. The second, unacknowledged, reason was thatAmericans fear and enjoy their aggression at the same time, and thushave difficulty in pinning down theinner meanings of external violence.The game of Rugby as now played inEngland is probably as physically injurious as American football was atthe turn of the century. By contrast,American attitudes toward footballdemonstrate a forceful need to define,limit, and conventionalize the symbolism of violence in sports.Public relations issueIf we look back now at England,we see a game in which shouted signals and silent counting of timed.movements are unknown — a gamethat seems to Americans to wander inan amorphous and disorderly rough-house. Rugby, in the very home ofthe industrial revolution, seems pre-industrial, seems like one of the manyfeudal survivals that urbanization andindustrialization have altered but notdestroyed. ...The public relations issue in thegame first appears in the actions ofthe rules committee of 1906 — the introduction of the legalized forwardpass in order to open up the gameand reduce brutal power play. Between 1906 and 1913 the issue wasgenerally treated as a problem centered about players and their coaches,and thus took the form of an appealto principles rather than to audiences. However, the development of2. "In a 1905 game between Pennsylvaniaand Swarthmore, the Pennsy slogan was"Stop Bob Maxwell" one of the greatestlinesmen of all time. He was a mighty man,with amazing ability to roll back enemyplunges. The Penn players, realizing thatMaxwell was a menace to their chances forvictory, took "dead" aim at him throughoutthe furious play. Maxwell stuck it out, butwhen he tottered off the field, his face wasa bloody wreck. Some photographersnapped him, and the photo of the mangled Maxwell, appearing in a newspaper,caught the attention of the then PresidentRoosevelt. It so angered him, that he issued an ultimatum that if rough play "infootball was not immediately ruled out, hewould abolish it by executive edict." FrankG. Menke, Encyclopedia of Sports.8 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEthe high audience appeal that weshall show unfolding after 1913 wasnot autonomous and unheralded. Ifpublic relations became a dominantfactor by 1915, when the Universityof Pittsburgh introduced numbers forplayers in order to spur the sale ofprograms, it had its roots in the 1905-13 period. The rules committee of1906, by its defensive action on rough-house rules, had already implicitlyacknowledged a broad public vestedinterest in the ethos of the game.Let us turn to look at the speed withwhich football was soon permeatedby broad social meanings unanticipated by the founders of the sport.By 1913, the eve of the First WorldWar, innovation in American industry had ceased to be the prerogativeof Baptist, Calvinist, and North ofIreland tycoons. Giannini was startinghis Bank of America; the Jews wereentering the movies; and the secondgeneration of immigrants, taught inAmerica to be dissatisfied with themanual work their fathers did, wereseldom finding the easy paths of ascent promised in success literature.Where, for one thing, were they togo to college? If they sought to enterthe older eastern institutions, wouldthey face a social struggle?Such anxieties probably contributedto the fact that the game of boyishand spirited brawn played at theeastern centers of intellect and cultivation was to be overthrown by the new game of craft and field maneuverthat got its first rehearsal at thehands of two second-generation poorboys attending little - known NotreDame.The forward passThe more significant of the twoboys, Knute Rockne, was, to be sure,of Danish Protestant descent andonly later became a Catholic. Duringtheir summer vacation jobs as lifeguards on Lake Michigan, Rockneand Gus Dorais decided to work asa passing team. Playing West Pointearly in the season of 1913, they puton the first demonstration of thespiral pass that made scientific use ofthe difference in shape between theround ball used in the kicking gameand the oval that gradually replacedit when ball-carrying began. As thefirst players to exploit the legal pass,they rolled up a surprise victory overArmy.One of the effects of the nationalchange in rules was to bring the second-generation boys of the earlytwentieth century to the front, witha craft innovation that added newelements of surprise, "system," andskull-session to a game that had oncerevolved about an ethos of brawnplus character-building.With the ethnic shift, appears tohave come a shift in type of hero.The work-minded glamor of an all- 5 round craftsman like Jim Thorpegave way to the people - mindedglamor of backfield generals organizing deceptive forays into enemy territory — of course, the older martial virtues are not so much ruled out aspartially incorporated in the newimage. ...Again, . the second - generationersmark a change. A variety of sources,including letters to the sports page,indicate that a Notre Dame victorybecame representative in a way aYale or Harvard victory never was,and no Irish or Polish boy on theteam could escape the symbolism.And by the self-confirming process,the Yale or Harvard showing becamesymbolic in turn, and the game couldnever be returned, short of intra-muralization, to the players themselves and their earlier age of innocent dirtiness.The heterogeneity of America whichhad made it impossible to play theRugby game at Yale had finally hadits effect in transforming the meaningof the game to a point where Arnoldof Rugby might have difficulty indrawing the right moral or any moralfrom it. Its "ideal types" had undergone a deep and widespread charac-terological change.For the second-generation boy, withhirs father's muscles, but with very fewof his father's motives, football soonContinued on page 22B Faculty Portraits: A PortfolioBEGINNING on the next page, the Magazine presents a portfolio of portraits of outstanding members of the University's faculty: the holders of "name" and distinguished-service professorships. Theseendowed professorships bear the names either of their givers or of early leaders in the University. They constitute a special mark of distinction in the academic world.Desirous of presenting some of the more recently appointed members of this distinguished group,the editors found it necessary to limit the portfolio to holders of named chairs who have not yet becomeemeriti. Thus omitted are many eminent men: Charles E. Merriam, Anton J. Carlson, Eugene M. K.Geiling, Frank Knight, William A. Nitze, and William F. Ogburn, to name a few. These scholars andscientists stand in need of no more laurels. The present purpose is to introduce their successors in eminence. Like other introductions, many of these will be to people already well-known.At the start of the autumn quarter, some of the named chairs were vacant. The only additional omission is that of William H. Spencer, Hobart W. Williams Distinguished Service Professor in the School ofBusiness, of whom the Magazine was unable to obtain a photograph in time for this issue.NOVEMBER, 1952 9DR.

COXRobert Law Professor of FinanceAstronomy and medicinecollaborate in making QNEWIF THE ASTRONOMERS atYerkes Observatory should take tostudying the stars .with a gastroscope,it would generally be considered startling, for the tools of science are notordinarily interchangeable. But therecently reported use of an astronomical camera in medical x-ray work atthe University caused no lifted eyebrows. One of the notable facts aboutthe University Clinics — as this uniquebody of men and equipment celebrated in October the 25th anniversary of its establishment — is that itsaccomplishments frequently have resulted from just such inter-disciplinecollaboration as that which producedDr. Paul C Hodges' (See cover)adaptation of a star-camera to intraabdominal x-ray photography.Modern development of fluoroscopy has made it possible for chestx-rays to be made on a productionline basis, but other radiological jobsstill had to be done in the old way, aslow, costly process using large sheetsof film, involving such long exposuresto the radiation as to be overly riskyfor making series of pictures.The new camera, on the otherhand, is based on the Schmidt camera, which since its development inGermany two decades ago has provedhighly useful in astronomy becauseof its exceptional light - gatheringproperties. Capturing starlight in acamera had made desirable an optical system which reduced to a mini-MIRROR AT BASE OF DR. HODGES' NEWCAMERA RECORDS IMAGES FROM X-RAYTUBE ON FILM IN THROAT AT CENTERTHE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINEX-RAY CAMERAmum the amount of light lost in thecamera itself, and the Schmidt camera's combination of lenses and mirror achieved just this. The opticalsystem of the Hodges camera, basedon the Schmidt principle, is six timesas fast as a high-speed 1.5 lens.Of course it was necessary to adaptthe camera to medical work, mainlybecause the tiny pieces of film usedfor recording the spectra of siderealphenomena were too small for x-raypurposes. Consequently Dr. Hodgescalled upon the services of two youngastronomers, then at Yerkes Observatory, L. G. Henyey and Jesse L. Green-stein, to help plan the adaptation ofthe optical system.What about Schmidt?As the new camera is operated,the x-rays are produced in the tube,located above the recumbent patient.After passing through the desiredsector of his anatomy, the rays strikethe fluorescent screen located at thetop of the dumbbell-shaped camera,and just below the patient's body.This light then passes through aspherical double lens in the throat pithe camera, strikes the curved mirror,two feet in diameter, at the base ofthe "dumbbell." The mirror reflectsthe light back through the lenses andonto the roll of 70 millimeter film(twice the width of film used in familiar miniture cameras such as theLeica) . The film can be moved at the rateof six exposures per second, whichmeans that the process is fast enoughfor mass use, and also sufficientlyrapid to minimize the dosage of raysneeded for a series of pictures.The new camera was conceived inone of those fruitful Quadrangle Clublunch conversations years ago. Afteran interval in which Dr. Hodges hadbeen discussing the problem of photographing deep-lying parts of thebody, a colleague asked the pregnantquestions: "What about Schmidt?"Dr. Hodges pondered this question;a few years later a wartime NDRCgrant made it possible to work out theanswer. Today's version of the camera has been through six years ofexperiment and testing. In its presentform, it is no chromium marvel inappearance, but it works, and fromits pattern, more and cheaper modelsmay be made. Meanwhile the cameraitself, ultimately will be imbedded inthe floor, so that an ordinary hospitalbed may be rolled in place over it, animprovement which will make it possible to abandon the cumbersomeplatform involved in operating themechanism at present.Even today, however, there is nosettling into a routine with the newcamera. Already it is being tried outin the making of x-rays of other partsof the body, for example, the bloodvessels inside the skull. There is onething which it is not good for —strangely enough, considering its origin — and that is astronomy. CLINICS' PROGRESSThe research of the Clinics hasrealized an impressive number ofimportant discoveries and techniquesduring its first twenty -five years.Among the more prominent discoveries:Blood-forming organ factors whichward off irradiation disease;Proof of the use of primaquine,the first actual cure for malaria;Tests, serums, and vaccines forcontrol of scarlet fever;New drugs and ideas for treatinghemorrhage;Nitrogen mustard as an aid intackling leukemia;Radioactive drugs against heartand thyroid trouble;Lipocaic, a pancreas enzyme thathelps digest fats;A tiny internal camera tvliichphotographs the inside of thestomach;Medical applications of insecticidesand nerve gases;Measurements of the nutritionalimportance of protein duringsurgery and pregnancy; andThe germ staphylococcus whichcauses the most common formof food poisoning.The improved techniques include:Nerve-severing to cure stomachulcers;Splicing severed nerves, techniqueadvanced by basic studies ofgrowth;Reduction of the newborn deathrate through surgery and biochemistry;Tests for a new theory of biological intelligence;Diagnosis and treatment of bonedisease;Control of air-borne infections;Surgical treatment for shock;Treatment of cancer by removingthe adrenal glands (the firstsuccessful operation) ;Use of sex hormones and glandsurgery for prostate cancer; andRadical surgical techniques againstabdominal cancer.On the fire are:A "ivindow on disease" to studythe action of drugs;All-out research on irradiationdisease;The use of ultra-sound in brainsurgery;Connections between glands andmental disorders;More effective diagnosis throughcell-staining;Advanced surgery for the heartand lung; andSolution of the riddles of diseaseimmunity.NOVEMBER, 1952FOOTBALL, continued from page 9became a means to career ascent. Sowas racketeering, but football gaveacceptance, too — acceptance into thedemocratic fraternity of the entertainment world where performancecounts and ethnic origin is hardly ahandicap. Moreover, Americans asonlookers welcomed the anti-traditional innovations of a Rockne, andadmired the trick that worked, whatever the opposing team and alumnimay have thought about the effortinvolved.One wonders whether Rockne andDorais may not have gotten a particular pleasure from their craftinessby thinking of it as a counter-imageto the stereotype of muscle-men applied to their fathers.It was in 1915, at about the sametime that the newcomers perfectedtheir passing game, that the recruitment of players began in earnest.Without such recruitment, the gamecould not have served as a careerroute for many of the second generation who would not have had thecash or impetus to make the classjump that college involved.The development of the open andrationalized game has led step bystep not only to the T formation,but also to the two-platoon system.These innovations call for a verydifferent relationship among theplayers than was the case under theolder star system. For the game isnow a cooperative enterprise inwhich mistakes are too costly — tothe head coach, the budget, even thecollege itself — to be left to individ-ual initiative. At least at one institution, an anthropologist has beencalled in to study the morale problems of the home team, and to helpin the scouting of opposing teams.To the learning of Taylor, there hasbeen added that of Mayo, and coaches are conscious of the need to begroup-dynamics leaders rather thanold-line straw bosses.Today, the semi-professionalizedplayer, fully conscious of how manypeoples' living depends on him, cannot be exhorted by Frank Merriwellappeals, but needs to be "handled."And the signals are no longer thebarks of the first Camp-trained quarterback — hardly more differentiatedthan a folkdance caller — but arecues of great subtlety and mathematical precision for situations planned in advance with camera shots andcharacter fill-ins of the opposingteam. Industrial, military, and football teamwork have all a commoncultural frame.Yet it would be too simple to saythat football has ceased to be a gamefor its players, and has become anindustry, or a training for industry.In the American culture as a whole,no sharp line exists between workand play, and in some respects themore work-like an activity becomes,the more it can successfully concealelements of playfulness. Just becausethe sophisticated "amateur" of todaydoes not have his manhood at stakein the antique do-or-die fashion(though his manhood may be in-Later NoteThe gridiron scene, itself waschanging faster than these observations took account of. The NewYorker, in its October 4, 1952, number, over the initials "J. W. L." tooknotice of the fact that while the"Ivy League" had decided to preserve the spirit of amateurism byeliminating spring practice, tightening eligibility, and by other devicesaimed toward what the magazinehad heard someone call the "poorbut honest game," one of the IvyLeague's representatives did very wellagainst Notre Dame. Pennsylvania,in fact, attained a 7-7 tie in 1952against the men from South Bend.The New Yorker went on to remark that Notre Dame itself playedin 1952 under tightened rules (nofreshmen on the varsity), and implied that this was in the drift awayfrom high professionalization of theamateur game.D.R. & R.D.volved, in very ambivalent ways, inhis more generalized role as athleteand teammate), there can be a relaxation of certain older demandsand a more detached enjoyment ofperfection of play irrespective of partisanship.The role of football tutor to theaudience has been pushed heavilyonto radio and TV announcers (someof whom will doubtless be mobileinto the higher-status role of commentators on politics or symphonybroadcasts) . The managerial coalescence of local betting pools into several big oceans has also contributed tothe audience stake in the game. Yetall that has so far been said does notwholly explain alumnus and subway-alumnus loyalties. It may be that wehave to read into this interest of theolder age groups a much more gen eral aspect of American behavior:the pious and near-compulsory devotion of the older folks to whateverthe younger folks are alleged to findimportant. The tension between thegenerations doubtless contributes tothe hysterical note of solemnity inthe efforts of some older age groupsto control the ethics of the game,partly perhaps as a displacement oftheir Kinsey-belabored efforts to control youthful sexuality.And this problem in turn leads toquestions about the high percentageof women in the American footballaudience, compared with that of anyother country, and the high salienceof women in football as comparedwith baseball imagery (in recentAmerican football films, girls havebeen singled out as the most influential section of the spectators) .The presence of these womenheightens the sexual impact of everything in and around the game, fromshoulderpads to the star system, asthe popular folklore of the game recognizes. Although women are not expected to attend baseball games,when they do attend they are expected to understand them and toacquire, if not a "male" attitude, atleast something approaching companionship on a basis of equalitywith their male escorts. . . .For all its involvement with suchelemental themes in American life,it may be that football has reachedthe apex of its audience appeal. Withbigness comes vulnerability: "interindustry" competition is invited, andso are rising costs — the players,though not yet unionized, learn earlyin high school of their market valueand, like Jim in Huckleberry Finn,take pride in it.The educators' counter-reformationcannot be laughted off. (See box atleft.) With the lack of ethnic worldsto conquer, we may soon find thenow-decorous Irish of the Midwestembarrassed by Notre Dame's unbroken victories. Perhaps the periodof innovation which began in 1823at Rugby has about come to an endin the United States, with largechanges likely to result only if thegame is used as a device for acculturation to America, not by the vanishing stream of immigrants to thatcountry, but by the rest of the worldthat will seek the secret of Americanvictories on the playing fields ofSouth Bend.22 THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO MAGAZINECLASS4Mm NEWSMedical alumni honoredWhen the University of Chicago Clinicscelehrated its 25th anniversary in October,one of the items on the agenda was thepresentation of distinguished service awardsto 28 former students, internes, and residents of the medical center.The awards were presented at a dinnerattended by 500 alumni and distinguishedguests from the nation's medical schools, byDr. Eleanor Humphreys, U. of C. pathologist, and vice-president of the medicalschool alumni association.

It drifts out of thepresses and hangs low over the ground andreminds you of Halloween and Thanksgiving and all of the good things of autumnrolled into one.It reminded Harry Mason, driving backfrom a business trip to a neighboring town,of all those things and something more —that it would be a wonderful idea to takehome some apples and a jug of Bailey'sfamous cider.A few moments later he eased his caroff the road and pulled to a stop at theside of the mill. It was the first time hehad been there for some years, and afterhe got out of his car he stood and lookedaround him for a moment, refreshing hismemory and trying to see if there wereany signs of change.Everything looked the same. The millwas as he had always remembered it. Theapple orchards looked full and orderly asthey always had. And the old Baileyhomestead still sat on top of the knoll, tranquil among the giant elms that surrounded it.Harry Mason nodded thoughtfully. Thewhole place had an air of peace and permanence — and that was good. It was goodbecause that was what Tom Bailey hadworked for and planned for right up to thetime of his death. Peace and permanence.Security for his wife Nora and for hisson Roger.Tom Bailey had had a taste of insecurityin his own younger days, Harry remembered. His father had left the orchards andthe mill to him so burdened with debtsand mortgages and taxes that for severalyears it was touch and go whether Tomcould keep the place at all. It took a lot ofwork — with a little luck thrown in — forhim to get "out from under" and put theorchards on a paying basis.Harry glanced up again at the old houseon the hill, recalling how he and TomBailey had sat there evenings makingplans so the Baileys' security would not bejeopardized again. Enough life insuranceto pay for help to keep the place runningwithout digging into Nora's income fromit. A separate New York Life policy for Roger's schooling. Some extra life insurance to take care of estate taxes and otherobligations that might otherwise causesome of the land to be sold ......Yes, Harry thought, the old mill hadan air of peace and permanence — and thatwas good. It was the thing Tom Baileyhad sought for his family . . . and the thingHarry, as a New York Life agent, hadhelped others build for theirs. Harrysmiled a little to himself as he turned andwalked around to the broad doorway atthe front of the mill.FEW OCCUPATIONS offer a man so much inthe way of personal reward as life underwriting. Many New York Life agents arebuilding very substantial futures for themselves by helping others plan ahead fortheirs.
