FIERCE FIGHTINGALWAYS SEEN IN

TECHNIQUE RUSH

Great Court To Be The SceneOf Initial Event Of

Junior Week

TEA DANCE WILL FOLLOW

Technology's annual respite fromits labors, Junior Week, will com-mence in the Great Court tomorrowafternoon at 2:15 o'clock, with theTechnique Rush slated as the open-ing event. From then until 4 o'clockTuesday morning, the carnival spiritwill reign supreme in "The GreatWhite Factory." Clustered about ev-ery event of this rapid-moving "week"are some of the most precious tradi-tions of the Institute, which are all themore valuable because they are sofew, and continually decreasing innumber.

As a preliminary to the actual tus-sle for the coveted paddles in theRush, the retiring and incoming Man-aging Boards of Technique will paradeto the hut in the center of the GreatCourt promptly at 2:15 o'clock, ac-companied by a band. After formingin a huge circle around the hut, thelusty-lunged Harvard Stadium an-nouncer will make public the electionsto the new board of Technique 1928.

Pistol-shot Will Start StruggleAt the completion of the announce-

ment, a single pistol-shot will rendthe air, signifying that the first pad-dle is about to appear. This initialand much prized paddle, which en-titles the holder to a free copy of theyear-book autographed by PresidentSamuel W. Stratton, will appear onthe scene in a manner which is knownonly to the chosen few in the Tech-nique management. A surprise ispromised, and it has been stated thatthe paddle will positively not be re-leased from the corner of Building 3,as has been the case for the past twoyears.

FRESHMAN BASEBALLTEAM NEEDS MONEY

Lack of funds is the present ailmentof the freshman baseball team sincethle only money at its disposal now is$20 alloted it by the M. I. T. A. A.There is little or no equipment leftit by the prlevious yealrling agwgrega-tions, and as a catcher's outfit alonecosts $35, the team is in rather a badway. In addition money is requiredfor guarantees to teams whcich comehere lo play the Technology freshmen.

Following the example of the Bea-vers, who wero so successful in sell-ing season tickets to their homegames, the freshmen are planning asimilar sale of season lickets .whichwill take place after the holidays. Thetickets will b)e sold to all freshmenand upper-classmen by the membersof the team for 25 cents.

Tomorrow the freshmen play theBrown yearlings at Providence, al-tlhough as yet there is not sufficienttransportation available to get all themen there.

However, a wealthof material exists for the battery andincludes some likely contenders .inFarwell, Richards, Cline, -and Acker-mian. First base will be occupied DyCrandall or Stanley, and second byBell or Riley. Donahue is the mainshortstop competitor, and third willlocate either Cullinan or Boyle.

One man,probably from the departmlent of his-tory and government, wrould be givenfull responsibility for tile course, butthe could be aided by men from otherdepartments wvhen phases of thecourse peculiar to their bl ancil ofknowledge were to be considered. Thenumber of topics covered, and the nla-ture of the discussion, reading, andlectures dealing with each one, wouldbe a matter for the professor. Hispermission wrouldl also be the only pre-requisite for the course. The abovesubjects could be dealt withl exten-sively or not, as their importance andthe avsailable time for their consider-ation whould seem to dictate. Thecourse-is by no -means a piece of prop-alsanlda for the League of Nations.

Tlle reasons for introducing such acourse on war into any college curricu-lum. are to be ~foundle in tile present in-ternational situation and in America'spositioll of isolation. . . Events ofinternational importance are takingplacing with a rapidity -unklloan inthe nineteenth century. . . Recentdevelopments of science lhave madethe possibility of another war thenightmare of the humlaln race, Amnerica's position in the wvorldl money man-ket has placed her in the grip of eir-culmstances ever which she has littlecontrol, and, if proper attitudes bease~don a kinowrledge of essential facts ,are'not established, may plumg e her intoconflict waith her debtors. Thel e aremany vrital problemrs which cry for a,sollltion.

his recently established record in thejavlin throw is a matter of consider-able speculation around tle tracklouse. He has been getting off somemighty good throws, this last week,and seems to be improving constant-ly. There will be plenty of strongopposition, with Curran, among others,competing against lim, as well asBill Slagle, manager of track, and re-cently-elected president of the A. A.

Discus Sign-ups SlowAt present, the discus seems to be

the most unpopular event, as only twomen had entered their names up untilyesterday afternoon. It is probablethat Martini will carry home theprize in the discus, even if the wholesquad should some out and sign upfor the event on Monday afternoon.Martini will be seen again in the shotput, where he will be opposed by suchmen as Stachelhaus and possiblyGlantzberg. The competition willbe very close if these three arematched against each other.

No exceptional marks are expectedin the pole vault, but Barrington andHerbert should give the rest of thecompetitors plenty of opposition, andwhat they lack in height will prob-ably be compensated for in style andform. Good broad jumpers will fightfor premier honors in this event, andit looks as though the winner will bechosen among Edlund, Berman andWiiebe, although several other goodperformers are entered and will fightfor places. Steele, Allen and Peaseare the best bets in the high jump,and here, again, the competition willbe close. The heights reached so farthis year by Technology high jumpershave been fairly good, and it is abouttime for the men to turn aviators anddazzle the crowd with some r eal jump-ing.

Steinbrenner FavoriteSteinbrenner is conceded the 'two

lurdles, but it will be interesting toivatch the fight for second and thirdin both races. After the Cardinal andGray captain has breezed past thetape, the pack is always closelyhunched. and the spikes hit the finishline thick and fast a fraction of a sec-ond later. Fleming, Ross, Burgess,and Collins wvill provide the excite-

Probably one person in a thousandamong the crowd w-ho watched basket-ball games every winter has the slight-est idea -how the popular indoor sportwas originated. The derivation of thegame -can be traced directly to theold boyhood amusement of "DuckRock," and its existence is Gredited toDr. James A. Naismith, Instructor ofPhysical Education at the Universityof Kansas. Dr. INTaismi-th invented thegame at that college to fill a populardemand for a new sport to be playedafter the close of the football season.

Even the poorest of youngsterscould obtain the equipment necessaryto play "Duck Rock." This consistedof a large boulder about the size of atable, and a small, easily handledstone. In the gaime, one boy, who was"it," placed a lock on the boulder, andtried to keep all the other playersfrom knocking it off with the stoneswhich they had. After -lislodginlg therock the thrower attempted to get hisstone on the rock -before- the one "it"succeeded in replacing his own.- Theone who finally did this then had thehonor of being "it.'"

Now in basketball, one team tries'to prevent the other from throwing aball through a hoop instead of knock-ing a stone off a boulder. Later devel-

HAS THREE LENGTH LEAD

After an early season start that wasnothing out of the ordinary, the Car-dinal and Gray Jayvee oarsmen suld-denly gave evidence of a promisingfuture when they deefated both the150-pound varsity and the freshmen illan elimination race over the Henleydistance on the Charles River Wednles-day. As a -result of their victory (overthe freshman) the junior varsity wonthe right to meet the Navy Jayveeeight on April 23.

Just before race time Coach BillH~aines decided to make it a quadran-gular instead of a dual race by enter-inlg the first and the 150-poulnd varsityeights. As wlas to be expected thefirst varsity had little difficulty, indrawing away from the field, never be-ing headed throughout the entire dis-tance, and having over 2 yengthls ofclear water between it and the Jay-vees at the finish.

Jayvees Are SecondThe junior varsity eight took the

lead from the other two shells at thestart and held its position at secondplace over the entire course. At thefinish line they were nine seconds ol'about three lengths ahead of the 150-poulnd varsity.

It remained for thle 150's and thefreshman to furnish the real thrills of

;'the day. From the outset these twocrews staged a great battle. The 150'sstarted strong and were able to gaina slight lead over the 1930 oarsmenwhich they had a struggle to keep forthe remainder of the course. Underthe Harvard Bridge they incr easedthis lead slightly. From the bridge onto the end of the race both thesecrews fell behind the two leadingeights quite rapidly but at the sametime changed their relative positionsvery little. At the finish line the150's led the freshmen by 2 secondsor about two-thirds of a length.

In stlmmary: the first varsity led1the field with a tin-e of 7:20; the Jay-||vees followed three lengths behindand covered the course in 7:31, the|150 pound crew made the distance in7:40: and the freshmen were oil the|small end of the score with a timeof 7:42. The lineups were:-l| Varsity--Bowv, Tittman; :', Donovan |3, Kelsey; 4, Collins; 5. Malmquist; 6;Dolben; 7, Knight; stroke. ZTurwvelle; co~x-|Iswain. Cool;.I

Fast Field in Mile RaceTlle longest entry lists of the meet

are in the one-mile and two-mileevents, where DeFazio, Austin, Kir-w-in, Herbert, and Thlorsen will beseell, as well as K. A. Smith and Mc-Clintock, who are g enerally accus-tomned to forcing the pace over theshorter of these two routes. The milewill, from present indications, be themost exciting and hard-foulght race ofthe day, and who ever finishes firstin this event will have earned the re-mainder of his vacation, regardlessof his condition at the beginning ofthe race.

First place in the half-mile will uln-doubtedly go to either Ken Smith,Kirwinl, or Herbtert. The race herewill be between Smith's long easystride and Kirwtin's steady pounding,'with Herbert elose at hand ready tosneak in and nose them both out.Hank Steinbrennler will try to copa few more points ill the 440, buthe will be up against Jack Hallahan,Meagher, Ken Smith and Stephenson,as well as several other old depend-ables who have signified their inten-tions of raising tile dust in this event.'The selection of the mile relay teamto go to the Penn Relays will dependto a considerable extent on the show-ings of the men in the nuarter-mile.

opmenlts in basketball have made itgrow more and more unlike the parentgame.

First Played with Volley BallAt first, basketball was played with

a volley ball, and square boxes, one ateach end of the gymnasium were usedas goals. It 1happened as a Ieonfidencethat formerly these boxes were usuallyeither peach crates or peach baskets,and it was from these that the gamederived its accepted name of basket-ball. These baskets were placed abovethe players' heads6, making it neces-sary to climb a ladder in order to getthe ball after making a goal.

Formerly the game was started withthe ball in the middle -of the floor,and at the whistle both teams kickedat it. This method soon proved sorough that the referee had to toss the ball as is nowe the custom. Elbowing Iand -shoving soonl came into proniin-ence so that a eade of fifteen rules wasadopted which stipulated that "noman can push or tackle." The firstidea was to have the iplayer confesswhen they had committed a foul, but.as there were no confessions, this il-lusion was scoon discarded.I

ly tutorial conferences -between in-structor and student will be held andduring these get-togethers the instruc-tor is to discuss the reading the stu-dent has done, suggest new readingaad go over written work. Accord-ing to Professor Roberts, this tutorialsystem being used at Harvard and atother colleges would take a great dealof the instructor's time and wouldprove costly if applied to M. I. T. per-manently.

The second method, planned to betried along with the first, would havegroup meetings of the instructor andthe ten hour men at a weekly hour tobe arranged in accordance to theirsched,ules This hour will .include adiscussion of various topics and apresentation of papers. "Therefore,each student," says the plan, "has twoseparate assignments, one of his ownchoice for the tutorial conferences and-one for the weekly group meetings.And the total work from each manwill equal if not exceed the require-ment of the E22 Option."

This innovation of the English sys-.tem which has been used at Cam-bridge and Oxford Universities for een-turies is aimed especially at giving theman with genuine intellectual and cul-tural interest a chance ,to follow hispersonal bent. Admnission to the groupwill be by written application, stat-ing what the interests are and whattopics the applicant would wish ,toread and discuss.

Every man who participates in theRush must be able to produce a re-ceipt for the full amount of the Tech-nique price before entering the roped-in enclosure. During the Rush allmen who secure paddles are asked toreport immediately at the desk tohave their names recorded before re-entering the melee.
