Randal Returns from RomeTo Advise DA^ PublicationsBy MARIAN CASTLEMANAfter hunting medieval Arabicmanuscripts in the Vatican libraryat Rome and in public and privatelibraries of Syria, William Randallreturns to campus to direct the des¬tinies of student activities. Officiallyhe will keep a watchful eye on cam¬pus publications and act as directorof campus dramatics, but will prob¬ably effect no drastic changes. He in¬tends to leave the Dramatic Associa¬tion in the democratic path outlinedI last quarter. Tryouts for the winterproduction, “Mr. Pirn Passes By” byMilne, will be open to the entire cam¬pus, and the weekly Friday plays willbe continued. Mirror will remain thej same except for the substitution of ai new dance director.Thus those interested in campusdramatics may sit back and wait untilthe coming production to te.st Ran¬dall’s talents as a director. At thattime they will decide whether he isable to overcome the twin ob.staclesof cream-puff plays and actors.What he will do in regard to cam¬pus publications is another matter.Former campus advisers have usual¬ly been too busy to send warningswhenever they were slightly ruffled,and have limited their authority toone or two rebukes per annum.Robert Herrick^Author^ FormerProfessor^ DiesRobert Herrick, 71, well knownauthor of the early twentieth centuryand a former professor of English inthe University, died of a heart attackDecember 23 on the Virgin Islandswhere he was government secretary.Herrick and Robert Morse Lovettwere classmates at Harvard andcame here to teach in the early yearsof the University. He was a profes¬sor of rhetoric and also taughtcourses on the novel.In the literary world he was mostfamous for his prolific writing deal¬ing with psychological and socialproblems. His books include “TheWeb of Life,” “A Life for a Life,”“The Real World,” “The ConscriptMother.” and “Homely Lilia.”Excellent Literary Style“He had an excellent literarystyle,” commented J. R. Hulbert, sec¬retary of the department, who knewhim well. “He aimed to write the besthe could and in that he succeeded.His plots w^ere excellent. His weak¬ness was that he didn’t understandhuman nature. He didn’t come in con¬tact with enough people to write ac¬curately about them.”While he was here, his courseswere among the most popular in thedepartment because of his great re¬known as an author. Anyone whowanted to write tried to have him asa teacher.His novels, while not best sellers,were still among the top-ranking ofthe period. Herrick left the Univer¬sity in 1923 and assumed his positionas government secretary in 1935.Ida Noyes RevivesMedieval PartyA swing-time version of the ancientMedieval custom of celebrating thetwelfth night after Christmas will bepresented on Friday, January 6, atIda Noyes hall. Attempting to revivethe gladsome spirit of Freshmanweek, the Ida Noyes Council, theReynolds Club Council and the Stu¬dent Social Committee combine todedicate a party to the cause of de¬stroying those last vestiges of Christ¬mas spirit.Dean Charles W. Gilkey, in costume(tights, if he can be persuaded) willofficiate in a weird ceremony whichwill include the burning of the Christ¬mas trees, wreaths, sprigs, and thesinging of the remaining Christmascarols.No admission will be charged andthe sponsoring groups emphasizethat it will not be necessary to bringdates. The Ida Noyes council will seeto the girls, the Reynolds Council willpersuade eligible men.Ida Noyes will be open from top tobasement. An orchestra will play inthe decorated gym and there will bea water carnival and mixed .swim¬ming in the pool.

Student OperatedHousing Co-opOpens on Ellis27 Members Each Pay$11 or $12 a MonthRent.The biggest co-operative housingproject in campus history began oper¬ation yesterday. Headed by PresidentForrest Mills, Secretary-TreasurerHugh Frank and Work-manager BobQuinn, the student housing Co-op se¬cured a lease on the entire buildingat the corner of 56th and Ellis wherethe Ellis Eating Co-op now’ operates.Of the 16 rooms in the building, 14will be used as bedrooms for the 27members, all of whom w’ill be sleep¬ing there by the end of this w’eek.To care for any possible emergency,costs for the first year have beenestimated high, the rent being placedat 11 to 12 dollars per month accord¬ing to the desirability of the room.Each member will be allow’ed to payat least two dollars of his rent byworking. Students who are membersof both the housing Co-op and theeating Co-op will spend about $280per year for room and board. Theycan reduce the cost to $220 or lessif they are willing to work. Room andboard in Judson Court or at a frater¬nity w’ould cost these students anestimated $450 each year.Plan Social ProgramPlans for the coming year includea social program similar in everyrespect to that of campus fraterni¬ties. Two of the sixteen rooms are tobe set aside as common rooms to beused by all the members for study orrecreation. As soon as possible theserooms are to be equipped w’ith radiosand suitable furiture. It is hoped thatby next season the monthly rent willbe reduced considerably.Led by Jack Conway and hisChapel Union organization, the grouppoH^ the campus ~ for prospectivemembers during the month of Novem¬ber. Last month, committees securedinformation on the price of rent andfurniture and on the week before va¬cation the lease was signed. The or¬ganization is in the form of a corpor¬ation W’ith all members required tobuy a share of stock costing $10. Themoney paid for this stock can be ob¬tained by the owner only if he is ableto sell the stock to a new’ member.Most of the housing Co-op mem¬bers are also affiliated wtih the eat¬ing Co-op, which now has a member¬ship approaching 130. If the housingventure also proves successful, thereare indications that another housingCo-op may be formed next fall. Mean-w’hile plans for a women’s Co-op areunder way.Appoint DimockTo Assist PerkinsIn Labor PostMarshall Edward Dimock, associateprofessor of public administration,has been appointed second assistantsecretary of Labor.Since the government defines thework of the second assistant in mostvague terms, the nature of Dimock’sw’ork will not be known until furtherannouncement by Miss Perkins; it islikely, however, that the work willdeal with the administrative prob¬lems of the immigration depai’tment.Dimock has been granted a leave ofabsence by the University until nextOctober. His latest books are “Es¬says on the Law and Practice of Gov¬ernment Administration” and “Mod¬ern Politics and Administration.”Others include “Congress Investiga¬tion Committees” and “British Pub¬lic Utilities and National Dev’elop-ment.”Coming to the University fromCalifornia in 1928 Dimock served asassistant professor until his appoint¬ment as associate professor in 1930.During that time he made investiga¬tions for the secretary of w’ar on in¬land waterways and the PanamaCanal, and served as advisor to theNational Resources Board. Lately hehas studied the immigration bureauand at present he is surveying theoperation of large scale enterprise inorder to find principles applicable toboth government administration andbig business. JrPage Four THE DAILY MAROON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 16, 1938Side GlancesAt I-M's« « «By ERNEST LEISERThe AD Phi’s forged into the in¬tramural lead yesterday by winningthe table tennis tourney from peren¬nial champs, Phi Sigs. According tothe intramural board, they were insecond place, ten points behind thePsi U’s Tuesday. Then the board dis¬covered an Alpha Delt billiard team,which incidentally has reached thesemi-finals, and this added ten pointssqueezed the Alpha Delts into a tiewith the Ps U’s. Now the table tennisupset and its fifteen point awardputs the Alpha Delts in undisputedpossession of the organization leadwith 165 points.After scratching his head and leaf¬ing through his file cards, I-M Direc¬tor Wally Hebert came forth with theindividual point winners for theAutumn Quarter. He made an espe¬cial point of informing the reporterthat a nice, shiny trophy awaited thehigh-scorer for the intramural year.First in line for that award atChristmas time is Attorney JosephAndalman, of the University of Chi¬cago Bar Association, who leads hisnearest opponent by a healthy 55points. Lawyer Andalman gained hisplace by playing on the champ Bar¬rister squad, winning the 40-yardevent and placing second in diving inI-M swim competition, and placingsecond in the horseshoe tournament.Besides which Joe is a good billiardplayer, studies law sporadically, isthe first independent to lead in I-Mstandings for generations.* « •Several I-M enthusiasts have quer¬ied as to how points are awarded inorganization competition. It’s all ex¬plained carefully on page 27 of thelittle handbook. Physical Educationfor Men, put out by the athletic office.But since no one ever reads Univer¬sity catalogues, and besides Hebertsays he only has a few more of thehandbooks, the system of scoring forclass “I” sports, touchball, basket¬ball, and softball is herein printed forthe edification of all.The main award, 50 points, is givenan organization for entrance in thesport. The winners of each league get10 more points, and the runners-upare awarded 5. Then the fraternitychamps and the independent-dormwinners are given an additional 10points, and runners-up are given fivemore counters. Finally, the top team,the uncontested University championin the sport is awarded 15 points.This means that the Barristers got85 points for winning the touchballtitle.There are three other classes ofsports, and wrestling, in which anorganization must compete in threeweights to get points. These areawarded points on the same basis, butall the minor sports—requiring few¬er men—earn less points for the lead¬ing lights.* * *Everyone seems to be turningthumbs down on the Varsity-Barris¬ter touchball thriller. The Varsitydoesn’t like the idea, for which youcan’t much blame them. They haveeverything to lose, and nothing togain. According to I-M expert He¬bert, the game wouldn’t be especiallygood, not even in a class with theDeke-Bar Association or Alpha Delt-Psi U contests, and would be entirelyunfair to the football lettermen.He disagrees with the football menwho think that the Varsity wouldwin after a week’s practice, but whothink that the game is an unneces¬sary one, and would create more badfeeling than anything else.And to top it all off, it seems thatthe Barristers do not want to play theMaroons, and that Mr. Irving Feigeswas not representing Bar Associa¬tion when he approved of the game.

High ReturnsTo Sunny Gym^Ipha Delts WinPing-Pong TourneyThe winner of the fraternity ping-pong tournament was decided yester¬day noon in the Reynolds Club as theAlpha Delt team took both singlesmatches while dropping the doublesto the Phi Sig outfit. RepresentingAlpha Delta Phi in singles, Tully andKrietenstein defeated respectivelyCohen and Hirschberg of Phi SigmaDelta in straight games.The Alpha Delta doubles combina-^ tion of Herschel and Nohl were over-lome hy the Phi Sig duo of NorianGlickman. Students who want to be pven achance to use Bartlett Gym after¬noons from 3:30-5:00 will be givenan opportunity to show their demandthe first w'eek of January. T. N. Met¬calf, director of athletics, announcedyesterday that U. High intramuralswill be cancelled in Sunny gym dur¬ing that week and that their basket¬ball teams will practice there thattime.Metcalf feels that fhe turnout ofstudents this first week will be fair¬ly representative of the use thecourts would get the rest of the yearif U. High were not practicing inthe gym. He has also arranged tohave the floor open two orthree times a week for the rest ofthe quarter except for the last w'eekin January and the second w'eek inFebruary.The first trial period was onlypossible because intramurals will notbe underway the first week. If thereis sufficient demand nothing can bedone about moving U. High out nextnuarter, but the matter will be takeninto consideration, and there willprobably be action taKen next year.High School QuintetsPlay in FieldhouseComplete pairings for the Univer¬sity of Chicago’s annual prep basket¬ball tournament, which will be heldduring the holiday w'eek in the Mid¬way Fieldhouse, were announced yes¬terday by Nelson Norgren, basketballcoach at the University.Thirty-two city high schools arescheduled to participate in the tour¬nament, which will be held Dec. 27,28, 29, 30, and Jan. 1.Second round play-offs are sched¬uled for Thursday (Dec. 29), quar¬ter finals for Friday (Dec. 30), andsemi-finals for Saturday (Dec. 31).The championship game will beplayed Monday afternoon (Jan. 2) at4 p. m. Goal DustBy BOB REYNOLDSWell, Doc, talk about de-emphasiz¬ing sports, look at Ohio State. Thefellas down at Columbus take bas¬ketball so seriously they have clippedtheir hair to the bone as a symbol of“their cooperation and unity.’’ (Note:last four words taken from a pressrelease).And that will practically cinch theBig Ten for them too. For you mustunderstand that along H igh Street theDowntown Coaches Association, thattheir troup of hearties has just every¬thing it takes, physically speaking, tocop the crown. Now with their cra-niums exposed in a tacitly expressedblood bond of brotherhood (Note:official bulletin from the DowntownCoaches Association says so, so itmust be true) nothing can swervethem from irresistible march towardsthe promised land.Doc, old man, to say this pains memore than it will to have you hearit, but the Bucks have just opened anew million dollar edifice in tribute tothe Great God of sport. This, also isan inciting factor of much conse¬quence, because isn’t it natural thatthe brave bearers of the Crimson andGrey will play a brand of ball thatis tremendously inspired, given, as itwere, added impetus, by their fine newhome the Ohio Colesium. The bond is¬sue on the place is due this year(Note: bulletin from the Alumni As¬sociation.). Now that they have the champion¬ship stowed away in their little glasstrophy case the rest of the leaguecan settle down to a spirited fight forsecond place. In the interim, the am¬bitious Ohio chaps will trek out tothe west coast and engage variousand sundry teams that feel equal tothe Scarlet Scourges with the billiardball heads and new gym.With Captain Jimmy Hull, lastyear’s high point man, and Dick Bak¬er playing the lead roles up front,and two veterans, Boughman and iLynch policing the territory immedi-1ately beneath those brand new bas¬kets, Coach Harold Olsen fears no iother five men alive, unless they befive men from Purdue. And whocares about Purdue anyway—all they'do is make boilers. |There is some trouble around thecenter spot—nothing serious, you un¬derstand, but until regular Tom Swancan climb down from the injury listtwo sophomores must carry on.Optimism in such quantities, un¬natural around any major athleticplant, grows from the excellent Cagers Meet FourOpponents BeforeWinter QuarterAfter the game with Armour Techtonight in the Fieldhouse the Marooncagers will play four games beforethe beginning of the Winter Quarter.Oberlin will be met at the Field-house on Monday night and the Chi¬cago quintet will then attempt togain revenge on Marquette whenthey meet them two nights later onthe Fieldhouse court.While most students are enjoyingtheir vacation, the basketball teamwill continue to practice, meetingLoyola away from home on Decem¬ber 29.Yale, the only eastern team to bemet by Chicago this year will be thevisiting team January 2 at the Field-house.

Lash, national sec¬retary of the American StudentUnion, summed up present policiesof the ASU toward peace and na¬tional defense in a speech to the1000 delegates attending the fourthannual Convention of the AmericanStudent Union at City College ofNew York last week.“Lift the Embargo”Emphasizing the need for decisiveaction by the United States to stopthe aggression of Fasci.st nations,the Convention reaffirmed the ASU’sstand on collective security, urged aforeign policy that would lift theembargo on Loyalist Spain and w’ouldhalt American participation in Japa¬nese aggression, and recommended ademocratic application of the GoodNeighbor policy.

Officiallyhe w’ill keep a watchful eye on cam¬pus publications and act as directorof campus dramatics, but will prob¬ably effect no drastic changes. He in¬tends to leave the Dramatic Associa¬tion in the democratic path outlinedlast quarter. Tryouts for the winterproduction, “Mr. Pirn Passes By” byMilne, will be open to the entire cam¬pus, and the weekly Friday plays willbe continued. Mirror will remain thesame except for the substitution of anew dance director.Thus those interested in campusdramatics may sit back and wait untilthe coming production to test Ran¬dall’s talents as a director. At thattime they will decide whether he isable to overcome the twin obstaclesof cream-puff plays and actors.What he will do in regard to cam¬pus publications is another matter.Former campus advisers have usual¬ly been too busy to send warningswhenever they were slightly ruffled,and have limited their authority toone or two rebukes per annum.Elect NuveenTo UniversityBoard of Trustees Robert Herrick^Author^ FormerProfessor. DiesJohn Nuveen, Jr., investment bank¬er of Chicago, has been elected amember of the Board of Trustees ofthe University, Harold H. Swift,President of the Board, announcedrecently.“The Board of Trustees is grati¬fied that its newe.st member is analumnus of the University,” Mr.Swift said in his announcement.“Fourteen of the present active mem¬bership of 33 trustees are the Uni¬versity’s own graduates. Mr. Nuveen’sbusiness experience, his work in civicenterprises, and particularly his closeassociation with the Universitythrough his leadership of alumnigroups, all contribute to his value asa trustee.”CUss of 1918The new trustee is a partner of thefirm of John Nuveen & Co., special¬ists in municipal bonds. Born in Chi¬cago, June 6, 1896, he was a memberof the University class of 1918, buthis graduation was delayed a yearbecause of his war service with theaviation section of the Signal Re¬serve Corps.Nuveen’s civic activities are numer¬ous. He is chairman of the board ofmanagers of the YMCA hotel, Chi¬cago; member of the InternationalCommittee of the YMCA; presidentof the Board of Education of Kenil¬worth; trustee of the Chicago Sun¬day Evening Club, trustee of theBaptist Theological Union, and treas¬urer of the Chicago Manager Com¬mittee.Nuveen also has taken a promin¬ent part in alumni activities of theUniversity. He is president of theCollege Alumni Association, chair¬man of the Alumni Council, and mem¬ber of the Alumni Committee on In¬formation and Development.

He was a profes¬sor of rhetoric and also taughtcourses on the novel.In the literary world he was mostfamous for his prolific writing deal¬ing with psychological and socialproblems. His books include “TheWeb of Life,” “A Life for a Life,”“The Real World,” “The ConscriptMother.” and “Homely Lilia.”Excellent Literary Style“He had an excellent literarystyle,” commented J. R. Hulbert, sec¬retary of the department, who knewhim well. “He aimed to write the besthe could and in that he succeeded.His plots w'ere excellent. His weak¬ness was that he didn’t understandhuman nature. He didn’t come in con¬tact with enough people to write ac¬curately about them.”While he was here, his courseswere among the most popular in thedepartment because of his great re¬known as an author. Anyone whowanted to write tried to have him asa teacher.His novels, while not best sellers,were still among the top-ranking ofthe period. Herrick left the Univer¬sity in 1923 and assumed his positionas government secretary in 1935.

Student OperatedHousins: Co-opOpens on Ellis27 Members$11 or $12Rent. Each Paya MonthThe biggest co-operative housingproject in campus history began oper¬ation yesterday. Headed by PresidentForrest Mills, Secretary-TreasurerHugh Frank and Work-manager BobQuinn, the student housing Co-op se¬cured a lease on the entire buildingat the corner of 56th and Ellis wherethe Ellis Eating Co-op now operates.Of the 16 rooms in the building, 14will be used as bedrooms for the 27members, all of whom will be sleep¬ing there by the end of this week.To care for any possible emergency,costs for the first year have beenestimated high, the rent being placedat 11 to 12 dollars per month accord¬ing to the desirability of the room.Each member will be allowed to payat least two dollars of his rent byworking. Students who are membersof both the housing Co-op and theeating Co-op wdll spend about $280per year for room and board. Theycan reduce the cost to $220 or lessif they are willing to work. Room andboard in Judson Court or at a frater¬nity would cost these students anestimated $450 each year.Plan Social ProgramPlans for the coming year includea social program similar in everyrespect to that of campus fraterni¬ties. Two of the sixteen rooms are tobe set aside as common rooms to beused by all the members for study orrecreation. As soon as possible theserooms are to be equipped with radiosand suitable furiture. It is hoped thatby next season the monthly rent willbe reduced considerably.Led by Jack Conway and hisChapel Union organization, the grouppolled the campus for prospectivemembers during the month of Novem¬ber. Last month, committees securedinformation on the price of rent andfurniture and on the w'eek before va¬cation the lease was signed. The or¬ganization is in the form of a corpor¬ation with all members required tobuy a share of stock costing $10. Themoney paid for this stock can be ob¬tained by the owner only if he is ableto sell the stock to a new member.Most of the housing Co-op mem¬bers are also affiliated wtih the eat¬ing Co-op, which now has a member¬ship approaching 130. If the housingventure also proves successful, thereare indications that another housingCo-op may be formed next fall.

His latest books are “Es¬says on the Law and Practice of Gov¬ernment Administration” and “Mod¬ern Politics and Administration.”Others include “Congress Investiga¬tion Committees” and “British Pub¬lic Utilities and National Develop¬ment.”Coming to the University fromCalifornia in 1928 Dimock served asassistant professor until his appoint¬ment as associate professor in 1930.During that time he made investiga¬tions for the secretary of war on in¬land waterways and the PanamaCanal, and served as advisor to theNational Resources Board. Lately hehas studied the immigration bureauand at present he is surveying theoperation of large scale enterprise inorder to find principles applicable toboth government administration andbig business.Page Two THE DAILY MAROON, WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 4, 1939(^aroonFOUNDED IN 1901MEMBER ASSOCIATED COLLEGIATEPRESSThe Daily Maroon is the official studentnewspaper of the University of ChicaKO,published morninKS except Saturday, Sun¬day and Monday during the Autumn,Winter and Spring quarters by The DailyMaroon Company, 6831 University avenue.Telephones: Hyde Park 9221 and 9222.After 6 :S0 phone in stories to ourprinters.

Still closer to the Uni¬versity is the problem of in¬come, and the effect it will haveon future University policy.This year as well as the lastyear, unless expenditures aredrastically curtailed, the cost ofrunning the University will cutinto the supply of capital. Ifnew endowments are not forth- Mr. Metcalf anticipates ob¬jections to his new seating pol¬icy for basketball games. He isgetting not only objections, buthowls, notably from the stu¬dents who anticipate quickchanges in dates from game togame and who don’t want to betied down to one seat and twoneighbors for the entire ba.s-ketball season.The greatest mystery in theentire arrangement is the rea¬son why such elaborate provi¬sions as set seats have to bemade. It is a simple enough ob¬jective that Mr. Metcalf aimsat; he wants to make sure thatevery space large enough to becalled a seat is filled. Previously,students have sprawled alongthe benches, forcing late comersto stand. A minor motive is thedesire to separate those whohave purchased C-books fromthe common herd of generaladmissions.Since these are the aims, thesimple way of achieving themwould be to count the number ofwinter books issued and rope offa corresponding number o fseats. Ushers would see thatthe required number of peopleare seated in each row. Studentswould sit with their currentchoices. There would be no dif¬ficulty, as under the proposedreserved system, of having iso¬lated seats empty when seatholders decided not to attend agame. Late comers with generaladmissions could be allowed tofill the last rows of the C-booksection.Metcalf says that studentswill object to being shoved intoplace by the ushers, a necessaryaccompaniment of an unreserved TravellingBazaarPost MortemsDavid Grene looked flustered butquite jolly when he gave an exam tohis Greek drama class on a Saturdaymorning.

JANUARY 4, 1939 Page ThreePhi DeltaTheta* * *By JOHN STEVENSPhi Delta Theta, one of the threefraternities founded at Miami Uni¬versity, was organized in 1848. To¬day, with a membership of over 40,-000,' it has 106 chapters distributedin all but four states, and in everyprovince in Canada. It also has chap¬ters in all of the Big Ten schools.The local chapter, the Illinois Beta,was founded at the old University in1865, and reestablished in the presentUniversity in 1897 by a group of menincluding Harold L. Ickes. WalterSteffen, Harvey T. Woodruff, BruceMacLeish, and Ernest Quantrell, amember of the board of trustees ofthe University w’ere among thosesuccessfully rushed by Ickes.* * *Today forty Phi Delta, ten of whomare pledges, rent the house from thealumni organization, which purchasedthe building in 1927. The 18 men liv¬ing in the house pay $66.30 for every¬thing, while the actives not living inthe house pay $20.90 for lunches,Monday night dinners, and dues.Pledges pay $8 less. The initiationfee, including the cost of the pin, lifesubscription to the two fraternitymagazines, and payment to support ascholarship fund, is $65.Although they ranked eleventh inscholarship last year they expect tobe above average this "year. Studyrules of quiet from “seven to seven”are well observed. A library includesmany text books, and a note file aswell as the usual fiction.* * *The Phi Delts are one of the threelocal fraternities that entertain thegirl’s clubs. About three times aquarter they invite a group to a “clubsupper”. These affairs, which are us¬ually given on Sunday evenings, in¬clude a supper and dancing. Othersocial events include an annual opencostume party, called the “SillyStrut”, Winter and Spring Formals,and the usual number of tea dances,and radio dances.The brothers know how to work to¬gether as a group. So far this yearthey rank third in total intramuralpoints, and they have high hopes inthe basketball tournament. They havecooperated on several occasions to im¬prove the house by winning a pingpong table, a billiard table, and aphonograph in contests, and in pitch¬ing in to decorate the rooms. A veryactive Mothers Club has cooperatedwith the active chapter in keepingthe house in good condition.Last year the Phi Delts were thefirst on this campus to sponsor a for¬eign exchange scholarship. Everyyear an active is elected to studyabroad, and a foreign student is givenfree'room and board at the chapterhouse. This year Nels Wetherell, lastyear’s gym team captain, has no liv¬ing expenses and no tuition at theUniversity of Zurich in Switzerland,while Walter Jaeggi, who incidental¬ly has become an active brother, hasthe same advantages here.Although they do not have quite asmany athletes as last year, when fivet€?am captains were Phi Delts, theyare well represented in several sports.Led by “Killer” Valorz, they arestrongest in football and wrestling,but also have men on the gymnastics. Set Aside Reserved BasketballSeats for 'C-Book HoldersReservations Made asBooks Are Issued; StartTomorrow.Director of Athletics NelsonT. Metcalf has recently a n-nounced a new policy of accommodat¬ing Basketball C-Book holders. Start¬ing Thursday, January 5, reservedseats will be issued at the Athletic Of¬fice to all C-Book holders which willbe held for the remaining games ofthe season.At the Marquette game on Decem¬ber 21, the following printed state¬ment was issued to patrons: “AllC-Books issued for the Winter Quar¬ter will call for individually reservedseats for the six conference basket-hall games. Seat reservations will bemade at the time the books are issuedbeginning Thursday, January 6, at9 a. m.“People who wish to sit togetherat basketball games must come to¬gether to select their seats. Or oneperson may reserve as big a block ofseats as the number of Autumn Quar¬ter C-book covers he brings in; butthe owners of these covers must latercall personally for their books andshow their Winter Quarter tuitionreceipts.“C-Book owners will fill almost theentire East Stand. Those wantingcenter locations should call for theirhooks promptly. Those preferring tohave seats in the West Stand reservethem at a charge of $1.00.These changes have been effectedto reduce seating confusion and to in¬sure the personal safety of patronsagainst riot hazards, according toDirector of Athletic Metcalf. If thissystem is not suitable to a majorityof the C-Book holders, the old systemwill be reinstated on Monday nightgames, when attendance is smallerand there is no danger of overcrowd¬ing.Sponsor RidingCJass for StudentsUnder the sponsorship of the Uni¬versity a riding class, open to bothmen and women, is offered on Thurs¬day evenings at 7:30. The probablecharge for class members will be 90cents a ride, a rate offered solely tothe University group. Students inter¬ested should register in the main of¬fice at Ida Noyes hall. The class isnot to be confused with the PegasusRiding Club, as it is not sponsoredby the club but is a regular class.At 4:30 Friday, January 16, inIda Noyes hall, Mr. Lime, manager ofthe Midway Riding Academy willspeak on riding. The meeting will be Maroons OpenConference SeasonAgainst GophersCagers Down Yale Mon¬day in I n te rsectionalContest.Behind Chicago’s cagers lie thepreparatory fields of early seasontuneup competition and ahead theproving grounds of difficult Westernconference courts. They travel northto contest the Gophers of Minnesota,Saturday for the Big Ten inauguralwith the taste of Yale blood linger¬ing and impelling.Yale bowed Monday night, unableto cope with the height and occasion¬al sparkling teamwork the Maroonsemployed to fashion a 41-32 win.Height offset the speedier but nottoo accurate Bulldog forwards, and Maroon teamplay functioned effi¬ciently enough to give the impressionthat the Maroons are a group of boyswho won’t add themselves to the listof Chicago teams in the leagues’damp cellar.To temper the happy clarions, itmust be observed that at times theboola-boola boys played a brand ofball little above high school level.But none can take from Chicago itsnewly gained modicum of polish. Atriangle on the offense, formed bythe two Murphy’s and Remy Myer,set up the majority of their scoringplays, passing patiently and waitingfor the smaller Yale offense to openand allow Lounsbury and Stampf togain advantageous positions beneaththe bucket.Swishing Joe, of the Stampf clan,played top notch ball from the tip-off to the middle of the fourth quar¬ter, when he tired and slow'ed down.Others who need mention are theMurphy’s, with their steadily improv¬ing guard play. One must except injudging them the fact that both showslight hesitancy and lack of decid¬ing instantaneously where the ballwill go after they have brought itup floor.Lounsbury continues to be the bestplayer on the floor and with his ex¬cellent scoring and ball-handling abil¬ities should rank higher in the gen¬eral estimation of the Big Ten fansthan he did last year.
