The King, Morris Salasen, takes the role. His extensive experience

M d instinctive ability, indeed, marks ' a high caliber of ability. Mary Har-

with her enticing and charming VMce is one of the many assets of the east. She is to be seen in the role of a very charming princess whose love affair distorts the ' King’s mind |further, since he is already burdened vwith the worries of an ever growing revolution within his kingdom. The King’s wife is to be portrayed by Leona Siewiez whose dominating per­sonality is true to the usual queenly attitude.

Dr.Kolbe Alumni Dinner Speaker

Urges Need for Loyalty in Supp<^^ing Institute. Doc Ewing and College Crew Furnish Music.

t^The Alumni reception and dinner |aB held last Saturday evening, Nov.

in the Men’s Lounge. Many of the i.lumni had attended the Ursinus

Agame, but the results of the game had 4 little effect upon the enjoyment of

the guests. At the speakers’ table were Dr. and Mrs. Kolbe, Mr. William J . Stevens, president • of the Alumni Association, and many of the trustees ot Drezel, together with other promi­nent guests.

A t the conclusion of an excellent dinner, Dr. Kolbe was iutrodueed to the Alumni and in his address express­ed satisfaction a t the large number of Alumni and faculty present. He urged the need for loyalty to the lustii tute, and outlined several >plans for impro^ling the school. Dr. Kolbe also pledged support to the Alumni and its activities, and expressed his apprecia­tion of the Alumni workers.

Another interesting feature of the dinner was a questionnaire given to everyone present on questions concern-

. ing Drexel affairs, past and present. The memories of many of the guests were taxed in answering the 170 ques­tions in the fifteen minutes allowed. F irs t prize for men went to Bob Ober- iMltier, ’31, while Lucretia Kerr won

' first woman’s.Following the dinner, the guests

went from the lounge to the Great Court, where a receiving line was formed to meet Dr. and Mrs. Kolbe, Ifer. and Mrs. Stevens, Miss Worrell, and the Board of Trustees. From 10 to 12, Doc Ewing and his College Crew furnished rhythmic music, and danc­ing was enjoyed by most of those present.

Drexel Graduate Speaks to Engineering Students

The regular meeting of the A. I. E. E. was held last Wednesday evening in the Art Gallery. The speaker of the evening was Mr. Alfred Werner, who gave an instructive talk on “The Decibal,” a unit used in electrical en­gineering, particularly telephony, in measuring “the gain or attenuation in power” of an electric circuit. Mr. Werner was graduated from Drexel last June and has gained considerable experience from his industrial work. After the talk, an interesting discus­sion arose on general practical ques­tions.

Tentative plans were also made for the A. I. E. E. student convention of the Philadelphia district which is to be held next year. The Drexel chap­ter will serve as hosts to the visiting members of the convention.

Frosh to Attend Annual Banquet

Retailing School Girls Guests of Miss Chapman

Members of the Retailing School of the Home Economics Department were guests of Miss Ardenia Chapman, asso­ciate professor of Home Economics, for Juncheon oA Thursday, November 3, in the dining room* of the Home Economics Department, a t 12 o’clock.

After the luncheon. Miss Chapman took a few minutes to discuss the plan of the Retailing School and how it was originally formulated. She point­ed out tha t it was the only four-year Retailing course for undergraduates in the country, and that it had been drawn up after consulting the mer- fhuuts of the city.

Miss Chapman then called upon Margaret Crawford to tell some of her iatcrostiug experiences which she had while bhe was doing her co-operative work. In addition to Miss Crawford, the guests were the Misses Dorothy Donnelly, Janet Hill, Althea Jones, Suzanna Maier, Doris Ramsey, Anna Mae Bryau, Mary Harris, Mary Ann Miner, Dorothy Orr, Ethel Downes.

This 11- piece band recently completed work on a Warner Brothers vitaphone fea t­ure, and during the past summer had a very successful five weeks’ stay at Steel Pier in Atlantic City, and they are recognized as one of the finest bands in the country.

The selection of the beautiful main ballroom in the exclusive Manufac­turers’ and Bankers’ Club is another proof of the endeavor of the commit­tee to make this one of the finest dances of the year. Against a back­ground of green ferns and palms, the varicolored gowns of the women and the smart formal attire of the men intermingled with many soft colored lights is certain to make the night a never-to-be-forgotten one.

The committee in charge of the ball consists of G. Clifton Salmons, chair­man; William H awks, Joe Guggen­heim, Jam es McLatherty, and Dan

Glee Club Makes Great Progress at Rehearsals

New Men Still Needed. Women to Broadcast Over Radio in the Future. Policy is Changed.

The Glee Club ha% been advancing with great strides in spite of the split between the men’s and women’s sec­tions. The. dividing has been princi­pally to aid the singers while practic- ing, giving them more time and op­portunity to concentrate on their spe­cific abilities.

The well-known Drexelian, “Joe” Ickes, president, leads the men every Monday from 5 until 6 in the Art Gallery. The women meet under the leadership of the vice-president, Doro­thy Hans, from 12 to 1 On Wednes­days. Anyone who may be interested in trying out for the Glee Club is cor­dially invited to come out on Monday.

“Judea,” a cantata, was originally planned to be presented by the com­bined Glee Clubs during the Christmas s (^o n . This, \owever, has been dis- ca»|e^d in favt> of the lighter college sonpl musical comedy numbers, which seem to ctontain the essential pep and vigor demanded by the stu ­dents.

The Women’s Glee Club is planning to sing “on the air” on Sunday af te r ­noon, December 4. 3!'he station and time will be announced later, and you are all invited to tune them “in”— or off.

Self Help Demonstration Held in the Art Gallery

The Home Economics Department is sponsoring an exhibit of Self-Help Children’s clothing in the Art Gallery during the week of November 7 to 11, inclusive. The exhibit includes at least th irty models, designed by the Bureau of Homo Economics of the U. S. Department of Agriculture. These costumes have been planned for easy making and laundering. Through their simple self-helping devices they enable the child to learn to dress him­self, Since the exhibition is free, the departmelit hopes that many people will avail themselves of the opportu­nity of seeing it. ,

Engineers Speak To Drexel Group

E. F. Church and E. Hart­ford Address A. S. M. E. at Special Meeting. Pre-- sent Membership Plan to Audience.

The Student Branch of the A. S. M. E. was addressed b y , Professor E. J , Church, of Brooklyn Polytechnic Insti­tute, and by Mr. Earnest Hartford, assistant secretary of the A. S. M. E., both of whom are members of the committee on student relations. These talks were given a t the special meet­ing called on Wednesday, Nov. 2.

A new plan is being adopted by this committee to further the interest of Mechanical Engineering students in the activities of the branch and par­ent societies. This new plan consists of the payment of three dollars and fifty cents as yearly dues by members in good standing, in return for which they are entitled to many privileges. Among other th in ^ , they are entitled to full participation in all activities and privileges of the Student Branch, a gold Student Membership pin featur­ing his college’s initials and colors, a Membership card, use of the student loan fund, privilege of competing for cash awards, a year’s subscription to “Mechanical Engineering,” the official journal of the Society and the A. S. M. E. news. Qualified student mem­bers will automatically be transferred to the grade of Junior upon gradua­tion and then these members are en­titled to the suspension of the first year’s dues as a Junior. The Student Branch is entitled to a reimbursement to the amount of twenty-five dollars for legimiate expenses of meetingsand mileage is paid for one member and H. B. Coleman.to an annual regional meeting. (The return to the Student Member is more than his annual dues could get him were he not a member of the Branch.)

Discussions were held, pro and con, by the Mechanical Engineers, who are all members of the Student Branch of this society. Professors Billings and Hahn were present a t the meeting.

ist Lectures on Problems Met in Oil Refining Be­fore Drexel Chemical Society.

Many PresentDr. H. V. Hume addressed the

Drexel Chemical Society on November 9 on the general subject of chemical and engineering problems met in the processes of oil refining. He spoke of the large nee^ for technical men in the various stages of petroleum prod­uct production.

Dr. Hume first briefly outlined the chemical theories of composition of crude oils and defined the two chief classes: paraffin bases and asphaltic bases. Petroleum, the speaker explain­ed is a mixture of many complicated chemical structures, about which more is being learned daily.

The various chemical treatments which the many derivatives of crude petroleum undergo, were briefly men­tioned. The principal process is that of distillation. Many radical changes have been made in the last decade in this field and the need of a thorough knowledge of physical chemistry was very apparent.

Junior Pre-Junior Prom Features Two Orchestras

Dancing in Both Great Court and Mens Lounge Helps Make First Formal Dance a Social Success.

The combined Junior and Pre- Junior Prom opened the formal season a t Drexel last Friday night. The dance was especially unusual in hav­ing two orchestras to provide music throughout the evening. Boy Sea- graves held sway in the Great Court, while our own Drexelians provided melodies for the dancers in the Men’s Lounae in Bandell Hall.

ThI Great Court presented a pleas­ing appearance, with its soft light ef­fects and its gold and blue decora­tions, and Roy Seagraves’ orchestra, upon a raised platform, added its share to the scene. The balconies were conveniently used as lounges by some of the couples seeking privacy.

The Drexelians, in Randell Hall, surpassed themselves on this occasion and drew, many from the court by their entrancing waltzes. In fact, the Men’s Lounge was perhaps more popu­lar than the Great Court for dancing.

However, the number of couples a t ­tending .was not nearly so great as was expected by the committee. Nev­ertheless, everyone was made to feel welcome and could not help but en­joy the superb music presented by both orchestras. Socially, the dance was a great success.

The committee in charge of the dance was headed by J.B.McLoughlin of the class of 1934. Th^. other mem­bers of the committee were W. A. Fleischli, C. Saffer, J . M. Donahue, Jr.,

Patrons and patronesses attending were: Dr. and Mrs. Leon D. Stratton, Mr. and Mrs. E. O. Lange, Mr. and Mrs. Samuel J. Leonard, Mr. and Mrs. James E. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. J . Har- land Billings.

Newman Club Holds Its First Fail Social Event

Father Plunket and James Obrecht Welcome New Members to Club. The Chaplain Entertains.

The members of the NeSrman Club held their first social event of the year on Thursday night, November 10, in the men’s gymnasium.

Before the social activities began, James Obrecht, vice-president of the organization, spoke to those present and greeted the new members. Father Plunket, the chaplain of the club, also welcomed the new members to the or­ganization, and during the evening played several piano selections and sung a few Iri:>h songs.

As refreshments, caku, sandwiches and cider were served, and the eve­ning was spent enjoyubly by indulg­ing in various diversions.

The Province Dance, a t which Drexel acted, as host, was held on Sat- urday, October 29, in St. James Hall. Represoutatives from almost all of the clubs iu the Province were present.

Results of Triangle Straw VoteAre Opposite to Those of Nation

The results of the national election and the TRIANGLE Straw Vote show some very surprising facts. In the first analysis i t would appear that fifty per cent of the students were not in sympathy with the expressed opinion of some forty million other people in the United States. Also, proceeding along the line o f a recent analysis of intelligence there must be eighty per cent of the people in the United States above the average in­telligence.

President Hoover received three times as many votes as Governor Roosevelt in Drexel, while in Phila­delphia he gained a thi'ee to two ad­vantage over his opponent. This re­flects the trend of people to vote ac­cording to the concensus of opinion of people in their locality.

Many who feared a close margin of control by either party are now as­sured that Democratic control of a wet Congress is absolute and that con­flicts between closely matched fac­tions will be elimin^ed.

The Democratic sweep is advan­tageous in tha t many capable men are available for cabinet positions. Many leading statesmen are affiliated

with the leading party and there is every indication that such prominent individuals as Owen Young, Alfred E. Smith, Newton D. Baker, Wm. G. Mc- Adoo, and Governor Ritchie, of Mary­land, are all capable men and will probably fill important administrative positions.

The returns indicate tha t there is justice and retribution for a party a r ­rogant enough to presuppose that they were the only party “fit to rule.” No political organization can consider i t ­self God’s gift to mankind and endure for any length of time.

The Greeks had a name for this sort of thing in men. They called it “hu­bris.” I t meant dangerous intoxica­tion with power, a reckless challenge to f fate, a disregard of human and divine law certain to be followed by a crushing punishment. The Straw Vote indicated that many students were confident in the ability of Mr. Hoover but failed to recognize the overwhelm­ing resentment and vengeance for events over which he, nor anv man in office, had control. His case is clearly that of an individual made to suffer for the mistakes of others.

Two new plans for stabilization of the class organization were in troduced ' before the Student Council meeting Oli Monday night. The first plan was th a t of having members sign agreements ta take the class dues from tneir deposit*The second is a system of payment with the tuition fees through the ' ;: -. Comptroller’s office.

Recent depletion of the class treaa* uries and failure of the students to reimburse the treasuries have necesid* ' : tated this action. The first plan to ■ go into effect soon, while indications are that the second plan will become permanent in the next two years. This ' system has been used in other colleges and has resulted in an increase in clsss /V; spirit, as it provides an aconnii^i^^l v ^ social program in the reach of all th f V students. ;■ 1: |;

The need of more class meetings was emphasized by John Pottom, while Jacob Jaeger asked for better care o% the lounge. The untidy condition ofj.! the lounge has been very obvious late*! ly, evidenced by the newspapers and cigarettes tossed about on the floor and the furniture. The council as]ts ' that all students try to keep the lounge in a more presentable condi* tion.

Several dance reports were accepted ' and the results of the Poll Tax refer* endum were made a permanent rule i s ‘ Drexel. '

Needed Protest

I N a recent issue of the TRIANGLE, editorial comment was made upon the unfair restriction which is placed jipon women smok­ing in the Women’s Lounge. Apparently no attempt was made

to remedy the situation by bringing the facts before the proper school authorities.

• The privilege of smoking in the lounge is greatly desired by an exceedingly large percentage of the women of the school. Since this is the case, and in view of the fact there is no logical reason for the presence of this restriction except for the tradition coming down from the days when smoking was held in a ditt’erent light, action must be taken to give this privilege to the women.

It is the place of the Women’s Student Government to represent the wdmen of the school as a whole, and it is only logi’cal for them to take the first step for the betterment of present conditions. The Administration has proven itself to be fair and liberal in correcting conditions which the majority of the students consider unfair, and there is little doubt that if the proper steps are taken a remedy can be accomplished.

If for ^ny reason the members of the Women’s Student Govern­ment are loath to take the proper steps, organized protest of a small group of temporary representatives of the women can accom­plish the same purpose.

' The situation is not only a matter of being grossly unfair and unjust, but also involves the question of creating conditions which are decidedly not of advantage to Drexel Institute. Hardly any­one would say that the environment of various commercial estab­lishments which the women of the school are compelled to frequent, if they wish to smoke, are of the best.

In view of this, toleration of the present conditions should exist no longer. Few obstacles lie in the way of the abolishment of this restriction and situation awaits only the vigorous and organized protest of the women concerned.

Financial Problems

T h e recent financial failure of the Juuior-Pre-Junior Prom forcibly tlemonsti’ates onee more the need of urgent action in the matter of collecting class dues. Deficits have occurred

all too frequently in the managiMueut of the various school dances during the past several years.

It should not be necessary to decrease the number of dances given during the school year in order to remedy the situation. In fact, it is rather doubtful whether or not this action would remedy the present condition, sijice the remaining dances would have no other insurance against failure ej^cept the fact that tiie available purchasing power of the students would have been dispersed over a smaller number of dances.

It is a matter of common consent that if class dues were com­pletely paid the cloud of financial ditticulty would completely dis­appear. Collection of these dues through the Comptroller’s otlice as au additional part of the tuition fee has the twofold advantage of not only facility of collection, but the assurance that all future classes at Drexel will always be in a stable condition financially. Added to this is the feature which is of supreme imi^rtance to ali

' students. Under the central collection system of dues, it would be perfectly plausible to hold many of the dances free of charge, with the result that all the students of the school could enjoy and receive the benefits of the social activities at Drexel.J Preliminary activity by the Student Council has been taken for

inauguration of this system. This effort slwrnld be vigorously pushed in order that the early^oompletion of the program may be brought about.

(Editor’s Note: This is the first of a series of articles to be written by faculty members concerning their works; the next will appear in au early issue of the TRIANGLE.)

Several years ago I was Personnel Adjutant of an infantry regiment. My desk was located between those of the Adjutant and the Plans and Train­ing Officer. I t didn’t take them very long to enlighten me as to the broad field covered by the term “personnel.” Many a document scanned by them was, with an expert flip of the #vrist, tossed upon my desk. Expostulations from me were invariably met with the expression with which all persounel adjutants are familiar—“Why, th a t’s personnel!” When I reported to Drexel a year ago, and was appointed personnel adjutant, I found my desk similarly located. I ’ll admit now that the memory of my former experience caused a misgiving or two.

The Personnel Section begins func­tioning on registration day in Septem­ber. Among other things, the. new student is required to fill out a per­sonnel card. The initial data consists of his name, height, and his rifle num­ber. Later the company and platoon assignments are entered, and it re­mains blank unless fate proves unkind, in which case entered in under the name will be notations such as “10 21- 32-—R. N. P. C. 1 demerit” or similar delinquencies. These cards are first arranged according to height and as­signments are made to platoon and company accordingly. Very soon after this the roster cards and stubs begin to pour in and by checking these against the personnel cards it is an easy matter to ascertain the names of those freshmen who have failed to pay the Military Department a visit. Only one man in the present class fail­ed to do this. Bad checks are not in­frequent these days, however, and I say this with my fingers crossed. In ­cidentally the personnel card forms a ])art of the student’s permanent record and furnishes valuable promotion in formation.

The next problem is to secure au accurate check at drill. In order to do this on the first drill day the pla­toon leaders are given typewritten lists for their roll books, to bo used throughout the term. During drill the Held al)sentee list is compared with the list of students who failed to draw rifles as a double chock against error. As regards sophomores, the immes of those who attend the first drill are checked against the roster cards and published lists of men in school, for unauthorized absentees. Of course tiiere are many other details, but the personnel section feels that its mis­sion has been fulfilled when the above has been accomplished.

In judging the efficiency of a regu­lar army outfit, great consideration is paid the A. W. O. L. (absent without leave) list. This applies equally well in the Drexel unit, and it gives the personnel section a great deal of pleas­ure to be able to say that cases of students who have deliberately cut drill or class witliout good reason are so rare as to bo ahnost non-existent. The oxtensive ciT-operation of the Registrar’s OfHce and the aggressive tendencies of the field office in a t ­tempting to truck down unauthorized abseiitees h^ve practicttlly eliminated tlie possibility of avoiding drill un­detected.

Ourselves 8c OthersBy THE OUBST COLUMNIST

We have never yet he.ird the answer to the question—why did we come to college f Even though we hrd a pretty good idea quite a few years ago as to vvhy we did, it changed, and how it changed we will tell in this column every couple or more issues of this pnjier. That is, if we end up this column in the middle of an incident, then we will continue in a later issue —if we don’t forget to remember.

The “auto” biography that follows is written as we remember it and apolo­gies are due to Benjy Franklin, Bos­well, etc.

Inasmuch as there are advantages and disadvantages in living in both the country as well as in the city, we will assume at once that having lived in the country for many years has given, neither us nor the city fellow, any advantage over one another.

When we were a youngster in the first grade or so, our family went west—yes, west from N. Y. to Jersey. Our destination was a small one-horse town near Round Valley. The inn­keeper had adopted a stray mare and so the town -was dubbed—“one-horse.”

As we remember it, the train went past our destination because the con­ductor forgot to pull the cord. The train backed up to the station to let us off; and, in the meantime the whole village turned out in a body — all twelve of them. This was an event in that the train did not atop unless someone was to get oflf.

The engineer got out and wanted to know whose fault it was the train had to “back-water.” Immediately the conductor told him to go mind his cab, whereupon, the engineer biffed him in the nose. The brakeman step­ped in to part them and the fireman, chewing tobacco and all, tweaked his “beak.” The villagers started to make bets among themselves while the fire in the engine died out.

Just about when the fur was flying fast, Seth Hoffkin was leading his prize bull toward the other end of the town. Upon seeing the fireman’s red flannel shirt bobbing up and down the bull proceeded to take an active part in the fray. Our mother picked us up and from the top of her shoulders we saw the whole jambouree at a glance.

Dad picked up the bags and we all left the scene helter-skelter. Since we were a wee bit heavy we had to ex­pend our own steam to work up the necessary horsepower to get to our country home which was about two miles distant. On our Avay home we saw mountains in the distance and in­quired what was in back of them. We were told there were some mountains.

The answer was «atiBfacto4*y for a long time.

N>nrby were some neighbors who had a son about the same age and height as ours. Two days later, after our arrival, we had a fight. We had the same characteristics, in that we both bit, kicked and pulled hair in the clinches. We have been the best friends ever since.

The school that we attended was a little red school up on top of the hill near the “main road.” They had a big bell in a small belfry for several years. Someone (or more) swiped it and ever since the teacher had to ring a small bell by hand. Aside from the excitement during school days the life in the country was pretty quiet.

The postman came around about five times a year. Two catalogues from Sears & Roebuck, one tax bill and the three holidays a vear consti­tuted the five trips.

In the fifth grade we were trans­ferred to the large school in town. We

Once again rhiladelphia is to be honored by the presence of Miss Cor­nelia Otis Skinner. She comes to the Chestnut Street Opera Houao ou the fourteenth of November.

«‘'<’o«nt in the (tl \ Kl), from the Drexel TRIANGLE, April 129, 19.1'J: '

“N\e are under its influence—Its magic charni still envelops us. Yes, we saw Cornelia Otis Slcinner, tha t ta ented young diaeuse, in her drama ‘The \\ ives of Henry VIIL’ Miss Skinner, although alone, soon fills the stage with many, interesting and varied characters. Her beautiful stature and fair features, het full voice, with its unusually high and low range, her wonderfully expressive hands—all these features combine and form an image in our minds that we » can’t soon forgot.

“The first part of Miss Skinner’s program was comprised of several, short, original sketches portraying hu­mor and pathos. Wo see her as a Southern girl with just the right amount of accent; as a native in the lale of Barbados, with just enough fire and snap; as a modern, American girl in a night club with not too much of the drunken stupor; as a gay, young modern in the early 90’s, who goes on her first automobile ride; as an Amer­ican girl in a French hotel who in ter­sperses her English with a few scanty French phrases of her k n o w l^ e .

“The,main part of the pro^am in- ' eluded Miss Skinner’s own sketches of ‘The Wives of Henry V IU ’, a unique, mournful pageant of the un­happy queens. Miss Skinner places us in the palace of Henry V III and we see Catherine of Aragon appear in an elaborate gown of gorgeous color­ing and texture. Poor Catherine, so formal and fanatical, has lost the a f ­fections of Henry. The mighty king refuses even to recognize their Uttle child and Catherine is heart broken,. The worldly, almost feline Ann Boleyn is the king’s next choice, but, Ann was so beautiful, so coy th a t Henry became ravishingly jealous and he locked his fair queen \n the T o ^ r of London—there to remain until her execution. In her rich, black gowttn. with her hair over her shoulders, Ann Boleyn gives us a lasting picture. Henry passionately loves Jane Sey­mour, that pale “rose without a thorn.” We see Jane in her lovely, blue vel­vet, in the magnificent garden of the Palace. Henry is repulsive to her and she is exceedingly unhappy. The homespun, ridiculous Anne of Cleves anxiously anticipates the coming of Henry—‘she knows him not’ and she is impatient and foolishly happy. Katherine Howard — ‘yoUng, healthy, passionate Katherine’—must have her fling and she escapes from her royal

Gold and Blue Eleven is Defeated by Ursinus “Bears,” 28-6Dragons Lose to Ursinus in Last Game of Season

Halasmen Incur Only Loss of the Year. “Bears” Score Four Touchdowns Against Dragon Eleven.

fell apart on Patterson Field at Col- legeville, while an aroused Ursinus “Bear” slashed its way to a 28-6 vic­tory, ruthlessly smashing any hopes for Drexel’s first undefeated season. I t was the last game of the year for the Halasmen and a repetition of last year's great victory was looked for, but the “Bears” thought otherwise and unleashed a dazzling array of re­verse and double reverse plays to pile up four tonchdowns against the

making the score 14-0. The half end­ed soon afterwards.

Drexel came back with a bang at the start of the second half and in seven plays they carried the hall over the Ursinus goal line like a well-oiled machine, and demonstrated that they could have piled up touchdowns at will if t tey had kept it up. Burns ran the opening kickoff; back to the Ursinus 45-yard line by some splendid open field running, Fleming slipped around right end to the 25-yard line and Donnelly made another first down on the four- ^en . Wright raced to the six-yard marker on the old end-around play, and then Donnelly rammed center three times for six yards and touch­down. The try for the extra point was smeared. The Dragons seemed to slip back into the sluggish state they were in during the first half, whereas a regaining of confidence by the splen­did offensive which they had just flashed should have bolstered up con­fidence, The kick-off was run back to midfield by Lodge, Ursinus backfield ace, and then the reverses started again. The ball was carried to the twenty yard line, where the Dragons recovered it on downs. The Halasmen fumbled three consecutive times, re­covering the first two times, but los­ing the ball on the last time. A gal­lant stand held the “Bears” off, and on the first play after they had re­gained the ball they fumbled and lost the ball.

The Ursinus team opened the last quarter by capitalizing on this “ break” in the form of a touchdown by Lodge, who also kicked the extra point, mak­ing the score 21-6.

The Dragons started a wi^e-open aerial attack at this point, but receiv­ers, were but able to cut loose. One pass deep in Drexel territory was in­tercepted by an Ursinus man who ran 20 yards for the “Bears’ ” last touch­down. Shuman made the extra point on a dropkick. The game ended with a score 28-6 in favor of the Ursinus “Bear.”

BELOW AVERAGE ADMISSION PRICES

No little credit for Drexel's rapid rise in the athletic world, should be Riven to Coach Walter Halas. This year he turned out what was perhaps the best eleven in the annals of Drexel Institute.

Coach Halas is a graduate of Illi­nois, class of 1916, and he learned his football from “Bob” Zuppke, famous gridiron mentor of Illinois, alternating between end and backfield. When spring rolled around Walt would be found on the mound for the nine.

In 1927 Coach Halas was introduced to Drexel, coming to our Alma Mater as coach of the football, baseball, and basketball teams. At this time mate­rial was scarce and teams playing un­der the Blue and Gold colors failed to score many wins.

Coach Walt set to work to build up a strong eleven and win the good will of the student body. His first year, 1927, the Dragon eleven won three games, tied one, and lost four. That record doesn’t seem to be anything of which to brag, but it was ta r better than that turned in by a Drexel foot­ball squad in some years.*

In ’28 the Dragons won eight and lost two; in ’29 six games were won, one tied, and three lost, and in 1931 the Dragon pigskin toters had a rec­ord of seven wins and one defeat.

Now that football for the 1932 sea­son is over, and the various members of the Dragon squad are retiring from active service on the gridiron, it would pay us to look over and pay honor to one Edward Marsh, Captain of this year’s Blue and Gold oval carriers.

Captain Marsh attended West Phila­delphia High School and Dickinson Seminary, before entering Drexel to take up his work as a Civil Engineer­ing student, not to mention his various athletic successes.

I t was under Captain Ed’s excellent leadership, and hard fighting spirit, that the Drexel Dragons wound up their 1932 season, probably the most successful in the history of the Alma Mater. Without a doubt Captain Marsh could be called the “steady pilot” of this year’s Blue and Gold eleven, never failing to offer encour­agement and fighting spirit to his co­players. Many, many times he offered thrills to all who happened to be spec­tators, and never failed to do his bit as chief punter. Sometimes he would sur])rise his opposition with a pass delivered with lightning-like rapidity.

Sports writer Leo Riordan gives the following information about our captain.

“Ed Marsh, burly Drexel leader, is a rather unique tackle. He can punt and pass and has been an important factor in the touchdowns that have netted the Dragons important 1931 and 1932 triumphs.”

Captain “Ed” Marsh likes the new football rules and is of the opinion that they do not slow up the game.

The TRIANGLE staff joins in wish­ing Captain Marsh the very best of luck in all his endeavors, both ath- Ictic and othermse.

The 1932 Halasmen reached a new pinnacle in their success as football men, winning all but the final contest with the Ursinus Bears.

Congratulations, Coach Walt. May your teams have many successful sea­sons, which, after all, they are bound to have uiider your efficient tutelage.

The Gold and Blue hockeyists were once again frowned upon by Dame Fortune when they bowed to the Merion Cricket Club by an 8-0 score at Haverford last Saturday. Although the score indicates that the game was a one-sided affair, the Dragonettes played one of their best games this season.

The Merion Cricket Club was led by Anne ToAvnsend, who has been captain of the All-American team ever since its inception in 1923. Drexel’s oppo­nents also boast of having several other All-American members on their team.

The Drexel co-eds have been playing sluggish ball all season but in this game they seemed to wake up to the fact that they were really capable of playing a better game than they have been playing thus far. ,

Anne Townsend proved too much for the Dragonettes’ defense, checking up five counters before the final whis­tle blew.

The line-up was as follows:

BUG BEARS. While closing the season with a hit of a bad tarte in our mouths, we also must express our high regard for the Drrfgons of 1932. | Their record of five wins, one tie and| one defeat is one of which we are justly proud. Too bad they didn’t click last Saturday. There would have been a much more interesting game for both teams. But the season is over; the boys have a deep respect for the moleskin-clad lads from Col- legeville and we believe they are back­ed unanimously J)y the student body. To all of us who saw the game there are no illusions about the powerful crimson eleven that ripped the cap off an undefeated season. Flashing a brilliant running attack and passing with deadly accuracy, the Ursinians stepped out with a brand of ball that just couJdn’t be stopped. However, there are other years to come. Let’s not play this game over too many times or we’ll go “sour” on an eleven of which we should all be and, we believe, are proud.

STALEMATE. Taking the Ursinus Cubs by the ears the Dragon Year­lings came through with a 6-6 tie to finish the season with a perfect .500 average. The Jayvees showed some classy football but still lack that nec­essary touch of experience that we hope they will attain next year with the varsity. The line played a grand game of ball, no one in particular be­ing outstanding. Noticeable in the. backfield play were Kaplan, Treen and Schultz (the Irishman), Treen be­ing removed from the game with a serious foot injury. “Mo” Kaplan hails from upstate, where Mike La Bove is now head coach, and he re­minds us of the days when Mike was .just a frosh. He is not built as heav­ily as La Bove and it is a good deal to say that he will fill Mike’s shoes, but we do believe that he is destined to go far. Rep^cha has given us the best Jayvee eleven in history and de­spite the overwhelming Hun defeat, we offer them congratulations! I

FIELD HOCKEY. We have pur­posely avoided commenting upon our co-ed puck-chasers. Last week they

dropped their Crick.'t Club match 8 to 0. To the great percfntage of the student body that does not follow this team of ours, it is just another loss. True, the girls from Merion ran up the highest score yet made over the Dragonettes. But something more sig­nificant happened in that game, and we want to emphasize the fact that it was the best contest plaved tliis sea.son. Until last Saturday this team of ours had turned in nothing except definite, inglorious defeats. This team supports five freshmen regulars. These newcomers have played well but have, up to now, played a losing game. Al­though- definitely defeated Saturday, these girls gained that confidence in themselves necessary to success. Whether they win a l fo f their remain­ing games or not, they may do well to call their season a successful one. We wish here to compliment Coach Henwood on her excellent work in bringing these co-eds up to the stand­ard which they have attained. Now, let’s watch these girls go places!!

BLUE OR CRIMSON. With the season near an end the. first of the “Big Three” games has rolled around. Tomorrow afternoon the Crimson Tigers of Princeton take on the fight­ing Yale Bulldog on the Tiger’s own field. Whether we truly understand it or not, we all know of the importance and spirit that this game holds in these universities. No one can say definitely who is to win. Last year Princeton didn’t have a ghost of a chance. But this is 1932. The Tigers have sent shivers up and down the spines of this season’s excellent Michi­gan Machine, held the Navy even, and rubbed Lehigh’s nose in the mud with a 53 point advantage, the second high­est score ever chalked up by a Crim­son squad. Right now they are riding the crest of the victory wave and need only to defeat Yale to prove their strength. The.blue-clad boys of Yale have a little different story to tell. They were slow getting under way this season, being tied by Bates iii their opening encounter. But at pres­ent they seem to be swinging along in their stride. They knocked off the

Last Saturday morning the Dragon Junior Varsity team journeyed to Col- legeville, where at ten o'clock, on Patterson Field, they played the I rsinus College Yearlings, in a close game which resulted in a 6-6 deadlock.

Drexel scored its touchdown in the second quarter, the score being made on a long pass, which was thrown by Kaplan, the pass settling in the arms of Stevens, who caught the ball be­hind the goal line.

The Ursinus Cubs came from behind late in the fourth period to score their only six-pointer of the game. The “Bears” carried the ball down the field after a sustained drive of sixty yards, and a series of line plunges. Calvert, husky Cub fullback, finally bucked the ball over for a touchdown. Both Year- ling aggregations failed to make the extra points after touchdown.

Ursinus tried to carry the ball through but was unsuccessful in their attempt. The Jayvees tried a drop- kick which went wide of the goal post. In the last quarter, Bob Schultz, of the Dragon Jayvees, who hails from Lansdale High and was a star a t that

Serious Trend Among All College Students

The New York “Times” has recently completed an interesting survey:

“The effect of the depression which has swept from the college campus much of the gay background against which the undergraduate posed his studies has also adversely afifected college enrollments, a survey of 24 colleges and universities-of the coun try indicates. \

“In answer to queries from the ‘Times’, officials of institutions from Boston to Berkeley estimated that the chief effect of the depression has been to modulate the carefree joy of campus life and to focus the atten ­tion of students on books and black­boards. The student of 1932, many of the replies indicated, has sold the flashy roadster and is buying second­hand books, and more than ever he is asking for scholarships, low priced dormitory rooms, and a chance to work his way.”

became acquainted with the driver of the lumber yard truck. We admired his truck for many years. Whenever he would get stuck in the mud we’d hitch up Dobbin and pull him out. When the motor started Dobbin got excited and kicked a hole in his radi­ator and bent his fender. The point is that we had decided to be a truck driver in order tha t we could find out what made the wheels go ’round. He used to tell us in mispronounced tech­nical terms exactly what the trouble was if any. We always “made a point of it” to be duly impressed.

One day we were astridfe Dobbin about five miles from home. W’e weren’t able to walk on one foot, and we never used a saddle. We got on by jumping off a fence, upon his back. We came to a lane where we had to get off and let the bars dow’n. Dobbin wouldn’t stay beside the fence for me to get on—“there I was!”

DR. HUME SPEAKS(Continued from Page 1, Column 5)Dr. Hume brought out the fact that

petroleum is rapidly becoming the source for innumerable chemicals and its future may be analogous to the coal tar industry. A notew'orthy ex­ample is the manufacture of isopropyl alcohol.

The use of refinery gas as a house­hold fuel was mentioned. The gas, immense volumes are produced daily, is liquified and sold under pressure to the consumer. This is an example of modern application of technical skill in reducing production cost and waste.

The speaker showed the need for a large staff of highly trained technical men in an oil refinery. Every engi­neering branch is represented and the quantities of heat, power, light, water, etc., handled by an average size re­finery is astounding.

Dr. Hume is an example of the trained men throughout the field. He is connected w’ith the Research Labor atories of the Atlantic Refining Com­pany. He is a member of Drexel also, being Professor of Organic Chemistry in the Evening Session of Drexel Institute.

QUEEN’S HUSBAND (Continued from Page 1, Colnnm 1)August Muller will net the role of

the King’s secretary, Edward Fields, who is Prince William, the fianct; by arrangement will display well the role of the German noble. Berten, the I)orsuasive diplomat, is portrayed by Karl C. Davis, while Thomas Brown- back is the irritable, blustering and demagogic General Northrup. The anarchist and revolutionary element is represented by Anthony Maile, as Laker, and J, Krause, as Fillman, the loader of this radical eelment. Robert Ilarwick plays Major Blunt, while John Engler and Melvin Ogram com­plete the visible army of two, James Clark acts as Phipps, the chess playing l)Utler, with Henry Laiming as his assistant, Pettig, the footman.

The ladies in w'aiting are played by Betty Drew' and Georgine Morris. The very carriage of this entire cast seems to promise distinction.

To supplement this quality of cast, the most elaborate stage setting is being secured. Direct imitation of the New’ York presentation is a character­istic of the play.

This play was presented several years ago at the Garrick by a profes­sional company. Satirical, witty, and fast moving, this plsiy itf solely for entertainment. The intense interest held, caused by the anxiety as to the outcome, is quite relative to the ca­pacity of the emotions for a'period of two hours.

Ip addition to the play there will be a dance which will begin a t 10:15. Ben Pritchard has promised to play two hours of request numbers as well as popular or classical numbers in be­tween the acts of the play.

Coach “Al” Repsnha’s Junior Varsity is to be commended on their fine play­ing throughout the eutire season. They liave made an excellent record during the season, winning one game, and los­ing one and tying one. The team to which they lost is considered as tough a team as any on the Varsity Dragons' schedule, namely, the Hun School, (’oach “Al" is also to be commended on the fine work he has do<!e in coach­ing and whipping together a team of such playing ability. A good J-V team is always a great a*sset in forming the next year’s Varsity squad, and it seems that the Varsity aggregation will be in need of some new material to pick from next year, as they lose quite a number of men this year through graduation. The line *will he hit harder than the backfield, while at the same time there will be a need for backfield men also.

The starting line-up for the J-V’s Saturday was as follows: Stephens at right end; Corbs, left tackle; Foltz, left guard; Martin, center; Rault, right guard; Fitzgerald, right tackle; Rhile, right end; Treen, quarterback; Schultze, left halfback; Fox, right

Mialfback; Haplar, fullback. Other Drexel men who saw action were Ap­plegate, Basile and Colthart.
