Richard K. West, '38, managerof Field Day, announces that thisyear there will be a pit of mudten feet long and four feet widebetween the two tug-of-twarteams. The team that loses will,of course, be pulled into the mud.

The arena for this revised tug-of-war will be on Tech Field be-tween the track and the footballfield, near the rifle range. Thatis on the opposite side of the fieldfrom the grandstand.

Star McLellan Lauds AbolitionOf Throwing Rotten Eggs

"Since its inauguration aboutfive years ago, the throwing ofrefuse on Field Day has been astigma in the public eye, as evi-denced by the lack of spectators.Therefore, I believe that the abo-lition of rotten eggs is the bestthing that could occur. Nowthat garbage is abolished, Friday,October 30, will determine theathletic superiority of the lowerclasses, as it should, and notwhich of the two can first drenchhis opponent in garbage."

David S. McClellan,Senior Class President.

Saturday at the Coop field theTechnology soccer team meets Dart-mouth in a contest which, accordingto the Beaver's record this seasonwill prove a climaxing point in thelatter's fine showing so far.

Although Tech failed to meet Dart-mouth last year, all indications pointto a fast, hard struggle by both squadswith the Engineers as the leadingscorers. Dartmouth has already wona victory over Springfield College,and was defeated by Amherst by ascore of 3-2.

Technology has an excellent recordso far this year. Opening the season,the Beavers downed the visitors fromthe Bridgewater Teacher's College bya score of 4-1, and last week the En-gineers gave the finest showing ofseveral years against Harvard byholding the Crimson squad to a onegoal victory. Probably the new flood-lights on the Coop field which haveaided in lengthening the practice per-iods and a larger turnout than prev-ious years have been important fac-tors in the improved showing. Ac-cording to Coach Goldie, however, theexcellent cooperative playing w ithLaker, Li, and Captain Brittenham. asthe spearpoint of the squad have beenthe main reasons for the excellencyof the team's booting. So far AlexLaker, '39, playing in the center for-ward position, has proven high pointscorer of the team; T. C. Li, '37, as adefensive man practically held theHarvard booters at bay during the en-tire game of last week; and EddieBrittenham, '37, who has had threeyears of experience on the squad, hasproven very valuable in the left backposition.

T he lineup for Saturday's gamewill include for the Beavers:

George Mitchell, '39, g; Eddie Brit-tenham, '37, rf; T. C. Li, '37, If;George Wemple, '37, rf; James Gil-liss, '38, ch; John Lindsay, '39, lh;August Arino, '39, or; Ray Dresselly,'37, ir; Alex Laker, '39, cf; CarlosCeballas, '38, il; Antonio Arias, '39,ol.

For the remainder of the season theTech schedule will be as follows:

October 31, Clark at Worcester,2:00 P. M.; November 7, Brown atProvidence; Now-ember 14, Frosh vs.Varsity at Cambridge, 2:00 P.M.; No-vember 21, Army at Cambridge, 2:00P. M.; November 28, Yale at New Ha-ven, 1:30 P.M.

Profes It was unanimously decided thatthe throwing of eggs, fish and otherrefuse at the Field Day activities willbe banned by mutual agreement ofthe contesting classes, at a combinedmeeting of the present and last year'sFreshmen Councils, under the aus-

pices of the Institute Committee, last,Wednesday ill the East Lounge ofWalker Memorial.,Several prominent members of theInstitute Committee spoke on the sub-ject, pointing out to the lower class-men the "immaturity" of the egg-throwing tradition.

D:avid S. McClellan, '37, president;of the Senior Class, declared that thepurpose of the Institute Committeewas to do things for the "best inter-est of the students and to bring crediton M. I. T." He maintained that thegarbage-throwving debacle was not inkeeping with the ideas of Field Dayand with Technologry in general. "Youmen representing your respectiveclasses, can bring your influence to

"I believe that the Oriental peo-ple, especially the Japanese, are equalto us morally as well as mentally,"said Professor C. A. Turner, of theInstitute's Biology Department. Pro-fessor Turner was addressing a gath-ering of members and friends of theSedgwick Biological Society on the oc-casion of his return from a round-the-world-trip. "Given the opportunity,"he continued, "the Japanese or theChinese will accomplish as much asany Westerner."

Professor Turners who is a recog-nized authority on child health edu-cation, visited many foreign countrieson his tour and studied their childhealth education methods. He alsocontacted various specialists in thatfield in an effort to build up interna-tional cooperation between individualworkers.

In particular the Professor centeredhis activities in Japan, where he spentseveral weeks with Mrs. Turner as

the personal guest of the CombinedLife Insurance Organizations. Duringhis stay in Japan, Professor Turnerlectured in all important universitiesincluding the Royal University of To-kyo.

While in Europe, he found that M.I. T. is known and respected virtuallyeverywhere. In Tokyo there exists anM. I. T. Alumni Association whichholds regular meetings, and which ar-ranged a very successful banquet forProfessor and Mrs. Turner.

At the banquet given at the Insti-tute, Professor Turner related an in-teresting incident about a Japanesegentleman who insisted on knowingwhy a certain famous M. I. T. Profes-sor always advises his students tomarry the boss's daughter. Profes-sor Turner immediately recognize,that as one of Professor Rogers'pearls of wisdom, "and so", he con-cluded, "you can't tell what is goingto be know, most about the Institute."

With Field Day drawing closer, the outstanding question in the mindsof sophomores and freshmen is naturally, "Who is going to win Field Day?"We will not attempt to answer it, but we can opine that the freshmenwill take tug-of-war and the glove fight. The sophomores will probablywin the football game and the crew race, leaving the relay race as the de-ciding factor. This would seem to indicate a fifty-fifty chance, but the wil-lingness of any and all sophomores to take any and all bets at even moneyshould make the freshmen beware.

Frequenters of the Hangar Gym who have noticed a quiet, deter-mined, and powerful looking chap of about 25 often working out inthe boxing ring may be interested in learning that he is Tommy Raw-son, Jr. Tommy, the son of boxing coach Tommy Rawson, will fightthe New England light-heavyweight champion next week.

That sophomore tug-of-war candidates were not slackers was stronglyevidenced at practice last night. Aroused by the exhortations of the mana-gers, the coach ,and the leader, the team braced itself for one grand pull, gavethe rope all they had, and then-the rope broke.

First WrestlingeTryouts Tonight

Prospects Good This Year WithBinder, Bartholomew

And Webb Back

Preliminary weeding among thevarsity grapplers will be done byCoach Jay Ricks at 5:00 o'clock to-night in the Hangar Gym. Becauseof the importance of this meeting, afull squad is expected to turn out.

Wrestling prospects are excellentthis year, with many of last year'svarsity back, in addition to an almost

complete squad of last year's fresh-

man team. One of the outstandingadditions to the varsity this year is"'Bonebreaker" Binder, who was win-

ner in both the 155 pound and 175pound classes of the All-Tech Tour-

nament last year. Although then un-able to compete in intercollegiatewrestling because he was a transfer,Binder is now Technology's starthreat. Competing against Binder in

the 155 pound class will be Dave Mul-lins, of last year's frosh team.

Co-captains challengedCo-captains Jervis Webb and Ed-

ward Bartholomew, both of whomplaced in the New England Intercol-legiates last year, will be challengedin the 145 and 135 pound classes re-spectively by A. J. Powers and GeorgeLaurent. On the freshman team lastyear, A. J. did not lose a single matchand now intends to give captain Webba fight for the varsity post. Powerswas one of the two freshmen to wingold medals in last year's All-TechWrestling Tournament. In the 165pound class, George Zeitlin, the otherfreshman to win a championship, willchallenge Josiah Heal, who was NewEngland Intercollegiate FreshmanChampion in his first year at Tech-nology.

In the heavyweight division the bat-tle will be between Don Cestoni andEd Brittenham, who was said byCoach Ricks to be the strongest manhe had ever seen out for wrestling atTechnology. This year, Brittenhammay have gained enough wrestlingknowledge to defeat the more exper-ienced Cestoni. Gus Strom will havethe 175 pound class pretty much tohimself, but possibly be menaced bya sophomore, Phil Lucas.

The 126 pound division is still open,being the only weak spot in the team.Last year the position was filled byLouis Testa, who at the end of theseason brought glory upon the En-gineers by winning the New EnglandIntercollegiate championship in the126 lb. class. Samuel Noodleman willably take care of the 118 pound divi-sion. Small but experienced, Sam hasalways given a good account of him-self.

Varsity to meet CrimsonManager Nick Wheless has already

arranged six games on the varsityschedule. They will meet Harvard onDecember 6. Following will be meetswith Tufts, Brown, Springfieid, Col-lege of the City of New York, andBrooklyn College. The freshmen willmeet Harvard, Tufts, Brown, Spring-field and Taft prep.

Training is now under way for theAll -T e c h Wrestling Tournament,which will be held on the 4th and 5thof December. It is rumored thatmembers of the faculty will enter thetournament this year, for both fac-ulty and graduate students are eli-gible, provided that they have not en-gaged in intercollegiate competitionon a varsity team. Because of thelarge number of freshmen enrolledfor wrestling this year, there is aprobability that more freshmen willcome out winners than did last year.

Freshman Team Faces UnbeatenQuincy High Today In

Opening Game .

Hedlund Thinks Chances Good

Determined to break their losingstreak, the cross country team goes toNew Haven to meet Yale in its thirdencounter of the season. The Mass.State harriers edged them out lastSaturday by the narrow margin of26-29, for Tech's second straight loss.

When questioned last night, CoachHedlund appeared very optimisticconcerning the outcome of tomorrow'smeet. He asserted that he had everyreason to expect victory, since theteam has had enough practice and ex-perience by this time to put it in topcondition.

The starters for the varsity are:Captain Henry Guerke, '37; Ciro Sca-ling, '38; Eugene Cooper, '37; RobertEddy, '38; Nestor Sabi, '37; ChesterRoss, '39 and Paul Des Jardins, '38.

Today the freshman hill and dalerswill go to Franklin Park to meetQuincy High over a four mile coursewith which neither team is familiar.Quincy High is unbeaten in its twomeets so far, but the freshmen havespent a strenuous week of condition-ing and training and hope to breakthis record.

The following list will start for thefreshmen: H. Wirth, E. Wallace, E.Lemanski. E. Crosby. J. Artz, T. Gu-naris, W. Brewer and Adans.

Significance Of OrganizationExplained To Members

Scabbard and Blade, the honorarymilitary organization for advanced R.O. T. C. students, held a smoker forits senior officers on Tuesday, October20, at 7 P. M. in the Walker GrillRoom.

Colonel Vestal, head of the MilitaryScience department, spoke on the sig-nificance of the organization. Othermembers of the Faculty present wereMajor Nisley and Major Hyde.

bear, and prevent the occurrence thisyear," he said.William B. Burnet, '37, and Philip

HR Peters, '37, sought to impress thelower classmen with the fact that theprogressive trend in colleges was"away from the rah-rah stuff." Theyclaimed that egg-throwing was not aSign of class spirit, but "a sign ofboorishness." "It merely showers un-favorable publicity on our college,"said Burnet.

Richard West, '38, manager ofField Day, claimed that it was lack ofmaturity that led to this annual per-formance.

An open discussion of the questionwas conducted, and finally Harold R.Seykota, president of the SophomoreClass, was called upon to give his ideason how the class of 1939 felt aboutegg-throwing. He estimated that"twenty-five. out of thirty are againstit.'

A proposal similar to the one- madelast year, was put before the group,stating: "By mutual agreement ofboth the freshmen and the Sophomoreclasses, there will be no garbage-throwing on Field Day." This "gen-tlemen's agreement!' was unanimously-carried.

Soph Football TeamDefeated by Harvard

In a game marked by fine passingand spectacular running, the sopho-more football team lost a hard foughtcontest to the Harvard Freshman sec-ond team by an 18-12 score.

Tech scored early in the first quar-ter when Muckley plunged over fromthe six yard line. Harvard then re-sorted to an earial attack which cul-minated in a 30 yard pass for a touch-down. Harvard scored again in thesecond quarter when one of Tech'skicks was blocked. Harvard recoveredand scored a minute later on a shortline plunge.

In the third quarter Capt. Cremerof Tech tied the score with a fine runof fifty five yards. He broke loose ona fake pass and scampered down thesidelines. An argument ensued, Har-vard claiming Cremer stepped out ofbounds. However, the ruling was inTech's favor and the score stood at12-12.

Tech threatened again in the finalquarter, but was repulsed when aHarvard man intercepted a pass andran it back 30 yards. About to betackled, he flipped a lateral to a team-mate who ran the remaining 15 yardsfor the winning touchdown.

Dorm Sophomores PromiseNo Stacking Frosh Rooms

No longer will freshmen go tocompulsory dormitory dinnersfully expecting to find their mat-tresses in incinerators, or theirfurniture piled in the centers oftheir rooms.

According to Dorm Rumor, thesophomores have promised not tostack the rooms of those fresh-men attending the next dinner,Tuesday, October 27. Their ef-forts will be devoted solely to thefirst-year men who fail to put inan appearance. So freshmen mayfeel safe on that one night atleast, provided they attend thedinner.

Speakers at the dinner will beDean Vannevar Bush, vice presi-dent of the Institute, TreasurerHorace S. Ford.

They know which telephonebooths can be tipped against the wallso that a penny registers as a quarterand they put their Electrical Engi-neering knowledge to work to elimin-ate the necessity for using the penny.Some one has said, give a Tech mana hairpin and he'll call London andhave the telephone company pay himfor his trouble. He knows all aboutrelays and inductive circuits. Tele-phones are as open books to him-telephone books.

So when we saw a Tech man havingdifficulty in getting his number wewere amazed. We would rather expect1e Central Library pendulum to grow;beard and teach math than to seean Engineer sweating over a tele-phone. The trouble, it developed, wasthat every time he dialed he got theOperator. We watched. He was callingCommonwealth. At last we recognizedthe bugger factor. Our friend knewhis engineering, his physics was fault-less. The only trouble was that hedidn't know the difference between thesecond letter of mooch and the thirdfigure of 210.

Language

Engineers are rugged, virile crit-ters. They can lay out cornerstonesand cycloidally moving axes. There-fore, to guide the practically unbornas yet freshman into the paths wherethe great have trod, one proceeds byfirst divesting them of their prepschool flowery language. So believesR. S. Woodbury. Consequently, the useof the word "apposition" by one ofthe misguided innocents evoked thefollowing: "I don't want you to use noTechnical Language in This Class."Romance: ...

Wie take a particular pleasure inacting as an instrument of Fate; welike to add just another Bunsen Bur-ner to the pot which some poor soulis cooking in his own soup. - We sitback with amusement when we detectan inverted function in a lecture andgrin as the lecturer struggles feeblyin a tightening mesh of foreign der-ivatives. We smile when we see sil-ken ankles ooze through dorm doorsand summon the self-appointed soph-omore souse committee to deal withthe neckers who persist in pursuingtheir instincts opposite our window.

Consequently we publish with plea-sure the follow ing' communicationtom a Tech man to his one and only.Be spent a pleasant half hour de-ciphering it after he'd told us it wasimpossible to solve without the key;no doubt you'll have no more diffi-culty than we experienced. And justwait until the Lounger column isbrought into court as exhibit A of abreach of promise suit! Fame comesto The Tech.

The letter is as follows:"As you know, we in alien lands

yield more to a superior approach, inloosening deviations that threaten toshake all faith except the last emol-lient remnant after which only barrenIdeas remain. Rudimentary in cyclicform this may be, but it does notdeny; it does not incite violence or"in a kingdom."

Her absence would adda lot to the ease of discussion." Wedon't know at the moment which co-ed it is, but we suggest that there isone sophomore co-ed who knows moredirty jokes than anyone.

Declares Kolb

Criticism and comment upon themain points of the expansion programproposed by President Compton arestill being made throughout the In-stitute. The comment centers prin-cipally on just what the programshould include.

George B. Wemple, president of theWalker Memorial Committee, whenasked whether a new gymnasium waspreferable to an addition to WalkerMemorial, said that he thinks a sep-arate gymnasium outranks the alter-native plan.

Frederick J. Kolb, President of theJunior Class and Chairman of theJunior Prom Committee, also consid-ers the construction of a separategymnasium building more importantthan an addition to Walker Memorial,as such a building would free WalkerMemorial facilities considerably in it-self. However, Kolb says, both thegym and the addition are very muchneeded.

When queried upon the dancing fa-cilities of Walker, he said that theywere very good, but that Walker hasnot the advantages or the conven-ience of some of the town hotels. How-ever if the projected addition to Walk-er contains a ballroom, as is planned;it should prove fully able to cope withthe terpsichorean needs of the Insti-tute.

only 20c and the average cost of burn-ing it is 1/3 cent per hour. Addinglamp bulb costs to electric currentcosts gives us an hourly operatingcost of about 35/100 cents, or equalaltogether to about 6/1000 cents percandlepower per hour, based on an av-erage life of 1000 hours for a Mazdalamp.

Electrically, lc each hour buys 167candlepower of light. With wax can-dles 1c hourly buys just about onecandlepower. Hence the attempt toreproduce the electrical illuminationon a library table or a newspaper bysubstituting candles for the Mazdalamps would cost 167 times more.

"A 200 watt mazda lamp can beburned for about the same price as asingle candle", Mr. Hibben says."Think of it; Abrah-am Lincoln, werehe a poor youth today, could afford toburn a bright electric lamp, but notafford tHe expense of candles! Fordecoration, candles are charming and Ilike them, but for real lighting pur-.poses, -I must deny myself that lux-ury !"
