By becoming involved in rulingson parliamentary procedure, tablingand untabling motions, and attempt-ing to censure various student gov-ernment bodies, Institute Committeeonce again effectively avoided givinga definite answer to the hazing ques-tion by refusing to reaffirm the haz-ing motion which was passed lastlarch.Many of the members felt that the

notion should not be reaffirmed un-til the definite stand of Inscomm iscited. This action was blocked in partby the stand of several pro-hazingrepresentatives, one of whom, EdFriedman '57, Dorm Council Presi-dent went so far as to say, "Hazingdoes contribute to the spirit of theeducational community." Referring toDr. Killian's letter of last spring onhazing, he added that several Ins-

mm members have been placed inan embarrassing situation due to this,and implied that the author himselfmay likewise be embarrassed. "Onlyin excess can hazing be bad!" BobLeinhard, President of '60, went onto say, "The freshmen as a whole areIn favor of hazing. They are betterfor it since it has made them worktogether. Class and school spirit aretremendously important, and are bestdeveloped through hazing." In thisane line, one of the Field Dayoaches, Harry Flagg '57, stated,Since hazing started going strong,

interest in Field Day sports has in-creased tremendously. Hazing cannotbe thrown out when there is nothingto replace it."

Many of the Inscomm representa-tives did not share these feelings,howvever. Leading the opposition wasEd Roberts '57, President of Activi-ties Council, who stated, "The inci-dents occurred because the Fresh-men were misinformed by the upper-classmen. The motion is practical;When Inscoanm takes a definite stand,hazing can and will be eliminated.azing is not a mature action, andan bring about physical and emo-itnal damage, impairing the repu-ati0n of the Institute." Tom Thom-as '57, UAVP, added, "If hazing'Ould be done without resulting inthe so-called dangerous 'excess', itfight be good, but it must be done

Field Day 1956 gets under way tomorrowafternoon at 12:00 as the freshman andsophomore classes pair off in what was oncethe culmination of a month and a half offierce class rivalry. Tomorrow's Field Day,thought slightly more than an athletic con-test in lieu of the Insconem motion outlaw-ing hazing, still promises to be filled withthrills and action as the two classes meet infour athletic contests, a tug of war, and thetraditional glove fight.

The history of Field Dagy dates back to1901 when it was instigated as a replace-ment for the Cane Rush, which the year be-folre had resulted in the death of a partici-pant. In the Cane Rush, the frosh class wasiven possession of a large cane, and at the

sound of a pistol the sophs did all they couldto take this cane away in anv manner. oftenemploying the "flying wedge." Followingthe rush in 1900, however, "the unconsciousbody of Hugh Moore '04 was found wrappedaround the cane, and although he was re-moved immediately, all efforts to revive him,er e unsuccessful." The following year

Field Day was begun with three events, thefootball game, the relay race, and the tugof war.

This first Field Dayr was won by the fresh-man class, but since that time sophomoreexperience has usually proved to be the de-ciding factor with the yearlings able to takeonly twelve of the fifty-five encounters. Atvarious times other suorts were entered intothe proarae, includinq basketball, tennis,and touch football which were later drop-ped, and crew and swimming which remaintoday. In 1927 the glove fight was instigatedand since that time it has grown in import-ance until today it is the major event on thepro.riam.

This vear, the purple shaft, the last rem-nant of the cane rush, has been abolished.Until now, possession of the shaft has notonlv beenr a psychological benefit, but addedpoints to the field dav score. One of the rulesaccompanving the shaft was that it had tobe Presented to the other class at least oncebefore Field Day, and it was the unusualmnethods of presentation, often leading toriots, that led to its abolishment. Tomor-row's Field Dar will mark the first time thatopen class rivalry has rot pDreceded the ac-tion, and its success or failure will add an-other interesting chapter to Field Day his-tory.

Frosh crewmen churn Charles River water in preparationfor the Field Day competition.

Dean of Field Day observers, TrackCoach Oscar Hedlund has predicteda sophomore victory in this the fifty-sixth classic. Oscar bases his stand onpredicted soph victories in football,swimming, and the glove fight, pro-ducing a 13-9 margin. This is thetwventy-second year in a row that Os-car has gone "out on a limb", andhe's been proven wrong on only afew occasions.

Oscar, and others, have found thisa very difficult year to predict sinceelimination of rivalry has given lit-tle chance for freshman spirit to beshown. At the same time the sophshave not been active and small turn-outs for several sports have weaken-ed their chances.

Blanchard Picks FroshIn the absence of Athletic Director

Balch, Bruce Blanchard '57, Presi-dent of the AA; came out in favorof the frosh. Although he admittedhe was not up to date on the differ-ent teams, Blanchar-d said, "give itto the freshmen."

The sports staff of The Tech is

forced to go along with Coach Hed-lund in favoring the sophs, mainlyon experience. Though the resultscould go either way with a fewbreaks, the sophomores are a littlemore adept at making their ow-breaks and with last year's white-washing on their record, they're outfor revenge. We like the frosh increw on depth, the sophs in swimn-ming on experience, in the tug ofwar on organization, in the relay onluck, and in the glove fight on plan-ning. The football game could reallybe close. On paper the sophs seemfar outclassed, but papers will bethrown to the wind with the open-ing kickoff and the game could goeither way.

Both class presidents, Leinhard ofthe frosh and Long of the sophs,predicted wins for their own classes,but both emphasized the final resultswould be close. Sophomore planninghas been handled as usual by theQ-Club, while the freshmen havefinally been taken over by the re-cently elected frosh council.

away with completely, without giv-ing exceptions." It was mentioned,though, that certain exceptions wouldhave to be made; otherwise, certainactivities such as Pershing Rifleswith their hazing programs wouldsuffer. Mike Brenner '57, IFC Presi-dent, summed up the whole problemwith, "Trying to establish a limitedform of hazing is like 'separatingthe white from the yolk withoutbreaking the shell.

Another motion which receivedmuch debate was that introduced byLarry Spiro '59 representative, ask-ing for the censure of the InscommExecutive Committee for their lackof action on the hazing question.Spiro felt that Execc.mm encouragedhazing with its silence and state-ments to Thle Tech; the hazing in-cidents could have been avoided bywarnings from the executive group.

Mike Brenner, member-at-large, an-swered with, "Executive Committeewanted the matter to die quietly, soit stayed silent. The leaders of '59and '60 were contacted for help, andtheir attitude to the situation wasvery immature." Mal Jones '57, UAP,added, "We made our mistake in as-suming cooperation from the officialleaders of '59 and '60; it was a mis-take in judgment." The fact was alsobrought up that Execomm'had notbeen approached by Institute Com-mittee for action previously. Afterconsiderable debate, the motion tocensure was defeated.

The only motion that was passedat the meeting was that to declarethe Dormitory Council pro-hazing res-olution invalid. Although it was de-cided that the motion was in the spir-it of develooinx "the whole man"

A fighting Engineer team recordedsoccer history last Wednesday asthey scored the first Tech win evrerover Harvard by a decisive 4-2 mar-gin. Led by the outstanding play ofCaptain Harald Henriksen, the boot-ers played by far their best game ofthe season, as teamwork and preci-sion was exact throughout most ofthe game. Coupled with the frosh'ssame day 1-0 triumph over the Can-tabs, the win mArks probably the big-gest day in Tech soccer history.

The first period saw play even,with neither team being able to scoreuntil the 18 minute mark when wingTom Buffett hit for the first of threegoals. The lead was shortlived, how-ever, as Harvard carne right back totie a minute and a half later whenJim Shue shot the ball past Techgoalie Rudy Segovia. During the sec-ond period the teams both worked theball back and forth consistently butwithout being able to score, makingit still 1-1 at the half.

The third period was the turningpoint of the game, however, as theBeavers tallied three times in suc-cession to take an insulznountablelead. Herb Johnson opened the at-tack at 3:05 of the period as he tal-lied on a short shot from in front.A few minutes later, Harvard rush-ed Tech's goal, succeeded in drawingout Segovia, but were unable to hitthe open nets. Tech made it 3-1 at7:30 of the period as Ruffett dribbledthe ball from the center to the rightside, drew the goalie into the cor-ner, and quickly hit the opposite sideof the goal.

Tech continued to apply the pres-sure and succeeded in constantly

keeping the ball in Crimson territory.At the thirteen minute mark, Buffetcom-pleted his "hat trick" by battingin his third goal from the centerduring a Harvard defensive lapse. Inan attempt to offset the powerfulBeaver attack, the Harvard coach atthis point inserted an almost entirelyfresh team which succeeded in hold-ing back the MIT attack for the restof the quarter.

Harvard came back to life in thefourth period, applying constantpressure to the tiring Tech defense.Segovia proved more than ablethough, as he stopped every shot ex-cept an impossible head rebound ona free kick from the side which madeit 4-2. Play ended with Tech onceagain controlling play on Harvardgrounds.

The entire team wvas elated by thevictory, and Coach Arne Arnesenpointed out the whole team whenasked for the star of the game. Hedid cite Henriksen's play, however,along with Buffett, Segovia, and Sa-bin Banharnsupvat.

On Sunday, October 14 the raresight of pants flapping in the breezecould be seen between the Parallels.This is a result of seventeen sopho-mores' activity the evening before ini-tiated the first mass encounter in cur-rent frosh-soph rivalry. The fresh-men had sent Dennis Lytle to RPIbut now their pants were waving overEast Campus.

The Muglift of the following Fri-day marked the second major incidi-dent of conflict. The Frosh felt vic-torlious in the fact that "no classoffi ers were caught" in the rain ofbeer. On the other hand the sophsclaimed a record attendance. Theircomplaint was "that there were toomany freshmen some had to be sentaway."

Both classes are boasting successin the rivalry and flaunting their de-fiant challenge on the eve of the finaltest of their mettle, Field Day. In nouncertain words Bruce Blomstrom inhelping to organize the Classof '59stated the outcome of tomorrow'sevents; "In the coming Field Day theClass of '59 will again prove its

spirit at the expense of the Class of60. As has been in evidence throughthe past few weeks the freshmen al-though undoubtedly impressed bytheir statistical athletic .potentialwill realize that the position of 'topman' is not achieved through dreamsbut through action." Bob Lei-ahar(l,frosh president, after eluding thesophomores last Friday expressed thecool air of superiority in the fresh-man class in his opinion of FieldDay. "With an analysis of the teamswe see an even split, with the tug-of-war and the glove fight the chancesare good of taking Field Day." Inan attempt to justify sophomore ex-pectations of victory despite theathletic ability of the frosh class.Bud Long '60. class president, stated:"The Class of '59 is bursting at theseams with fiery enthusiasm whichwill gring the disorganized Class of'60 into the ground. Desnite theirgreat athletic potential they can'tdown the spirit of '59." The chal-lenge has been issued by both classesand they look to Field Day for thedecision.

aptitude for electronics so Dr. Stratton enterd the field ofelectrical engineering. Having received a-B3S degree fromMIT in 1923, he studied at the Universities of'Grenobleand Toulouse for a year where he obtained his "liberal arts"education. Dr. Stratton returned to MIT as a research 1lab

"assistant in 1924 working with Arthur I. Kennelly. By 1927he had procured a master of science degree at MIT and adoctor of science degree at Zurich.

1928 marked the beginninga of a long career at MIT. Forthree years Dr. Stratton served as an assistant professor inthe electrical engineering department and for eleven yearshe stayed in the physics department until he became ful11professor of physics in i94I.

During the second world war, Dr. Stratton played animportant part in the development of radar. It all began-when President Roosevelt formed a research committee of,which Dr. Compton, then president of the Institute, was amember. This research committee gave MIT the right todevelop radar and Dr. Stratton was one of the first member.;on the staff. In fact Dr. Stratton was detached from theInstitute for three years while he served as an expert con-sultant at the Office of the Secretary of War. His mainduties there were putting the radar to practical use, or ashe said "minimizing the delay from the lab to the field."To express the importance of MIT's place in the develop-ment of radar Dr. Stratton said "Just like Las Alamos wasconcerned with the atomic bomb, we here were concernedwith radar." For his outstanding services in radar, he re-ceived the Medal for Merit from the Secretary of War in1946.

After being the Chairman of the Committee on Elec-tronics of the Research and Development Board for two)ears, Dr. Stratton established the Research Laboratory o£Electronics at MIT, and acted as director until he was ap-pointed Provost in 1949. By- 1951 Dr. Stratton was VicePresident and Member of the Corporation of MIT and thisyear he was appointed Chancellor.

Amid all of the research and the excitement that wasgoing on, he wrote a book E/ects'omagnetic Theory, whichwas published in 1941.

Now that Dr. Stratton has charge of all the administra-tive matters, his job consists 'largely of weighing mattersand making many final decisions. Most of the decisions dealwith the student body. He permits the students to voicetheir opinions because he has much confidence in the stu-dent government here and believes that it is "a part ofeducation itself." When asked what he thought of themany decisions that the students had made here, good andbad, he said without delay "I think our student governmentis excellent and has a record of which we can surely beproud."

ITALIAN-AMERICAN RESTAURANTWhile the hazing controversy rages at MIT, at most of

the other colleges just hazing rages. This hazing ranges froman infantile tradition at some colleges to a-.custom at onecollege which made the staff on The Tech blush.

At some colleges, such as Adelphi, Clarkson, St. Bona-venture, University of Washington, and the University ofSan Francisco, hazing consists mainly of Freshmen wearingidentification of some sort, a few rather dumb rules, and anathletic contest to determine if the hazing period will heextended or not. Freshmen are generally required to weara beanie and an identification tag: a sensible way to get thefrosh acquainted. Then to give the -upperclassmen a feelingof superiority, several rules like do not walk on the grass,carry matches for upperclassmen, know the college songsand cheers and be ready to recite them on demand, etc., areimposed upon the freshmen. Infraction of these rules arereported to some kangaroo court which dic-tates a humilia-tion to the offender. Upon some cday the frosh usually beatthe sophs at a tug-of-war or some similar contest to stophazing.

Worcester Technology has a fight called a paddle rushwhich is similar to our glove fight. It consists of the twolower classes running to get paddles and administering theheavy end of them to the members of the other class. Sincethis isn't entertaining enough they also give free rides tothe other class to get them in condition for the paddle rush.The rivalry at Worcester Tech, very similar to that previ-ously sanctioned at MIT, seems to be fine for the boys, asit isn't outlawed there.

In Canada things are done quite differently. The Q//een'sJournal at Queen's University cites the case where eachfreshman was equipped with a yellow tin can as an ashtray for sophomores, a tape measure to obtain vital statisticson co-eds designated by seniors, and a slide rule to answermathematical questions on. demand. Must be interesting-being a freshman.

If you think this is something or that hazing at MIT isrough, just take a look at the University of British Colum-bia. "As the mob descended upon the Engineering building,Redshirts locked a-Il doors, and unlimnbered heavy artilleryin the form of fire extinguishers. Finally, undaunted bydousings and liberal ministrations of lampblack, Froshforces gained efttry and wreaked brief havoc with comman-dered fire hoses." Of course they don't have depantingshere so they had to substitute it with deskirtsing. The cap-tion under a picture states: "None-too careless hands reachout from all directions to administer Redshirt discipline tostill another unidentified Freshette: The offense: who cares?The punishment: cut off her skirt." A caption of anotherpicture of a skirtless co-ed declares: "The uncomfortable-looking recipient of Redshirt attentions shown above wasonly one of dozens of first year women locked in stocksWVednesday by stern, discipline-loving Engineers. They,stated however, that their captors were 'real polite' andlthat the stocks weren't uncomfortable at all." The Societyfor the Prevention of Cruelty to Freshettes reported thataction would be taken against the EUS's treeing four skirt-less girls and molesting them with stirrup pumps.

"They were left ravished and weeping in the EUS Officesby the lustful mob."

No men, the admissions to the U of BC are closed andit's too late anyway, but then, next year is another year.Wonder if Inscorem would pass a resolution against hazingat this college ? Ah well, MIT does have its hazing, doesn'tit ?

Opening lead: 6HToday's hand provided declarer -with the opportunity of

fulfilling his optimistic bid of 7NT. However, to winneeded careful planning to establish the winning triplesqueeze on West. North's repetition of the diamond suiton the fourth level allowed declarer to believe that hispartner held a good diamond suit and was not interested ingame at 3NT. He planned to stop at 5D if his partner hadonly one ace, but upon learning that his partner had threeaces he bid 7NT. He proceeded to play hearts and dia-monds, and when the bad news became evident he blamedlack of chance for the outcome.

However, by hoping that diamonds would break he gavehimself' only one chance of fulfilling the contract.

There is another line of play in attempting to make thecontract, and that is to hope that the hand which holds thefour diamonds also holds the club and the spade threatcards.

Declarer should play J and A of hearts, noticing that'West discards a club. Then he should play the A of spadesand a small diamond to his king. He then proceeds byplaying three top hearts and West is obliged to discard aspade and two clubs, or a club and two spades. If Westhas discarded three clubs in total, he now plays the ace ofclubs, dropping the King and the play of the queen ofclubs further squeezes West, who must give up a diamondor a spade.

Notice that the ace of spades is the key play in this handand allows declarer to work on a squeeze. Furthermore, theplay of the ace of clubs hoping to force West's king to dropis also logical because a finesse in clubs 'would only givethe lath trick to declarer, which of course is insufficientin 7NT.

SophomoresMIT's sophomore eleven hopes to

finish their playing careers by ex-tending the sophomore football FieldDay streak to eleven straight when

they meet the frosh tomorrow at 1:00p.m. Since the inception of FieldDay, the sophs have dominated thegame, winning twenty-nine of thir-ty-seven gridiron contests.

The sophomores, like the frosh,will run from a split-T fomnation,varied by an occasional flanker. Thekey man in the potent '59 groundgame, and the man the frosh will

have to stop, is fullback Larry Boydwho has the speed to run the ends,and the power to crash the line. Bob"Tank" Couch and Bob Keene flank

Boyd at the halfback spots in a back-field that stresses sheer power. BruceWilcox, outstanding frosh player inlast year's Field Day tussle, is backat qua.,terback where he excels inuse of the option play.

This formidable backfield is headedby a line that is both heavy yet mo-bile. Center Herbie Prulick, flankedby guards Dix Browder and BudChamplin form the center of thesoph line. Rich Simnons and SteveWeissenberger or Bill Cramer play atthe tackle spots while Cal Swift, WaltHuaman, and Al Beard hold downthe end positions. This is virtuallythe same team that did everythingbut score against the Class of 1958last year, in bowing 12-0 in a steadydownpour. Indications are that what-ever the weather tomorrow, the sophswill have the powelr to roll and iftheir defense can hold as it did inlast Saturday's 24-0 win over the An-dover JV's they'll be tough to beat.Coaches Bill Salmon and Bob Lau-rance feel the "team has the experi-ence and the will to win."

FreshmanAlthough still in search of their first

victory of the season, the footballteam of the Class of '60 feels thatthey have the spirit and abilities toovercome the sophomore forces. Al-though considerably weakened fromtheir original position this fall whenover fifty showed up for practice, thefresh still have the advantage ofdepth over the sophs.

This was the opinion of both HeadFresh Coach Paul Ekberg '58 andnewly elected captain Chuck Conn.Though decisively defeated by Taborin their first game, and edged 7-0 byThayer Academy last week-end, thefresh still "have lots of spirit" ac-cording to Conn.

Tomorrow's starting lineup willhave Jerry Wise or Cal Koonce atleft end, Dave Powell at left tackle,Bob McCullough at left guard, andAngus Andrews at center. On theother side of the line will be DanMichaels at right end, Ed Pollard atright tackle, and Bruce Nelson atright guard.

Quarterbacking the spirited frosheleven will be Joe Patalive, who'llbe backed up by Dick Kaplan at onehalfback slot, and either George Sti-vers or Smonkey Babcock at the other.Rounding out the team in the full-back slot will be Captain Conn.

Operating from the split-T, thefresh will depend upon an even bal-anced backfield. Coach Ekberg stated"they're all good, and in the line you

inr and this could again mean thedifference.

Through Wednesday the best timesfor the frosh had been turned in byMcDowell, Slusser, Mullen, Carmen,and Hartung. Seven more fresh willprobably be added to this nucleus toform the final squad. For '59, the bestmen to date have been Brownard,Fitzpatrick, Maier, Staples, and Wil-liamson. There has been a big turnoutfor the sophs in the past week though,and additional men with 2:20 timesunder 25 seconds may still be found.

The experience gained in last year'sField Day competition by the 59'ers,coupled with their creditable timesand spirit, could decide the outcomeof tomorrow's running of the annualrelay race.

Fressh Slim FavoriteFor Field Day CrewIn Day's First Event

First event on the Field Day plro-gram, tomorrow's upstream crewrace will decide the first three pointsof Field Day. As always in the past,the sophs are at a disadvantage sincethose who won numerals last yearare not eligible and this pits a lim-ited number of soph novices againstthe huge turnout of freshmen, someof whom have had some experience.

Saturday's race which will be row-ed from the boathouse to HarvardBridge, will put three frosh boats,yet to be picked against the numberone soph boat. Ealrlier in the morn-ing, the second set of three froshboats will race the soph's second boatover the same distance, but for nopoints. At present there are sevenfrosh boats under the direction ofCoach Frank DuBois, three of whichare composed of lightweights. TerryCarney, co-captain of last year'slightweights has been handling thecoaching of the sophs.

Last year's race saw one of thefew soph victories as '58's lone boatbettered thlree frosh competitors tothe finish line.

For the 56th year in a row, one ofthe main features of Field Day willbe the annual relay between the twocompeting classes. Each team consistsof twelve men, who run the sameeighth of a mile distance. In the past,the race has been wvon by the sophsan amazing forty-three times, but to-morrow's race shapes up as one of theclosest in years.

Coach Oscar Hedlund favors thefresh in the track event on the basisof greatelr depth and spirit. The num-ber of freshmen out almost doublesthat of sophomolres and this depthcould prove the difference even thoughthe outstanding qualifying times havebeen turned in by the sophs. Thesophs are quite confident of winning,however, and the results should proveinteresting. Last year's soph teambroke a two year jinx by beating theflrosh, even though their anchor manfell in the last 100 yards due to theslushy conditions of the track. Priorto this the sophs had dropped thebaton two years in a row, costingthem both races. This element ofchance has added suspense to eachyear's race and has been the deter-mining factor many a time. Since finaltime trials are not until today, thereis little chance to practice baton pass-

Sophs and frosh battle it out amidst grease and mnud for last year's Glove Fight victory.

A strong sophomnore team seems tohold a big advantage in tomorrow'sswim meet to be held in Alumni Poolat 12:30. Consisting of two races, a200-yard freestyle relay and a 150-yald medley relay, the meet willaward three points to the overallwinner. The basis of scoring will besix meet points for winning the free-style 5 for the medley, 4 for secondin the freestyle and 3 in the medley,and finally 2 folr thilrd in the formerrace and 1 in the latter. Each classwill enter two teams in each race,making a total of 28 competitors.

Sophs StrongWith most of last year's very suc-

cessful freshman team 1retulrning, thesophs rule as stlrong favolrites overthe spirited but inexperienced year-lingS:-He-ading the- list of -returneesfrom last yealr's fresh squad are Co-Captains Roger Kane and Lynn Jack-son. Both of these men alre quite ver-satile, with Kane swimming free-style, backstlroke, and blreaststroke,while Jackson specializes in the free-style and butterfly events. Other top

freestylelr back for the sophs isChuck Fitzgerald, who last yearcame a tenth of a second from thefrosh fifty-yard record with a 24.8clocking. Other top men for '59 willinclude Neil Divine, Bob Brooker,Bob Den Eick, Jack Kossler, PaulRosens, Bob Fahrenbach and CrisWalrd.

The fresh present a well balancedteam in good condition, and one thatcould easily cause trouble. Coach AlJohnson '58 will count on Green,Brown, Howland, Hagen, Eigbertt,Kemper, Bonesteel, and Fox for prob-able flreestyle work with Lee Alterand Tony Aldrich doing the back-stlroking. The flrosh breaststrokerswill probably be West and Kenyan.

Since compalrative times are notavailable, it is difficult to forecast the-...exact performance of the yearlingsand even previous times mean littlein the excitement of Field Day. Thisyear's sophs made '59's best showingin last year's Field Day as theybowed to the present Junior class byonly one point.

(One of the spontaneous newcontributions to Freshman-Soph-omore rivalry this Fall has beenwhat might be called, "The Dog-gered Derby." In the last issue,we published a poem by the Classof '60; here is '59's answer. Ed.)

TO THE FRESHMEN

From all over the nation they came,Nine hundred strong and more,Crossed over the flowing Charles,To do battle with the Sophomore.

The Freshmen were full of energy,With high school triumph flushed,They pitied the poor Sophomore,On Field Day he'd be crushed.

But the Frosh never figured,That the Sophomores have been

around.They've had a year to learn the

ropes,From the top down to the ground.

The brash young Frosh were out-classed,

They lost their pants by the score,And after Field Day has passed,They'll have a defeat to deplore.

So here's to you Mr. Freshman,When your dreams of victory are

no more,If you try real hard next year,Maybe you'll be a victorious

Frosh Booters Edge Harvard, 1-0;Vellavicentio Scores Single Goal

An inspired yearling soccer squad put all their skill and efforts into givingTech a double-headed victory last Wednesday over the Harvard soccer teams,by edging the Crimsonmen out, 1-0.

Harvard's booters contlrolled the play during the greater part of the firstperiod. Tech skies looked cloudy as the frosh were unable to push the play ontoHarvard's half of the field. Shaking the sun in the second quarter, the yearlingsturned the table on Harvard. Norm Dolf brought the ball down the field towardthe Halrvard goal, then passed to Dal Rhee, the center forward. Rhee booted thegoatskin sphere to Rudolfo Vellavicentio. Rudy kicked through the Halrvard's

In League I, unscored upon SAEfaces DU whom they polished off 25-0earlier in the yealr. League II will seea rematch of the Phi Delta Theta-Theta Chi game, won by the PhiDelts 19-0 on Walt AkerIund's pass-ing. League III will see champ BetaTheta Pi facing surprisingly strongSigma Chi for the ceond time. Clos-est game of the day will certainlybe in League IV where the Phi Gamsface the Delts whom they edged 7-2two weeks ago. The closeness of thefirst game indicates a real battle thistime.
