Coca-ColaBusinessNormal thirsts of studious engi-

neers assumed alarming propor-tions yesterday afternoon in theimmediate vicinity of Eddie Pung'sRefreshment Emporium in the base-ment of Walker Memorial. Fourhundred bottles of ice-cold Coca-Cola was distributed by a chubbyrepresentative of the famous softdrink company to anyone whocrossed his path.

Everyone guessed the reason forthis sudden display of courtesy, butan inquisitive reporter sought outthe tonic Santa Clauls. "Are youdoing this to bolster the sale ofCoca-Cola in Technology?" "Ohno," denied the busy gentleman,"We are giving away this drink toalleviate the depression in the softdrink industry. May I present youwith a bottle of ice-cold Coca-Colafree of all charge?''

Engineering BooksStaff of Technology Review to

Supervise Publicationof All Bookss

Plans for publication by the Institute ofa series of translations of important scien-tific and engineering books wrere an-nounced today by Dr. Samuel W. Strattonchairman of the Corporation.

Publication of these books is to besupervised by the staff of The TechnologyReview. The first, which will be publishedthis year, is "Der Verkehrswasserbau"(Commercial Hydraulic Structures), byProfessor Otto Franzius. Publication ofthis first book in the series is made possiblethrough the cooperation and generosity ofDr. John R. Freeman, the well knowncivil and hydraulic engineer of Providence,and a member of the Corporation.

This undertaki _g, it weas stated, is anindication of the desire of Technology tomakce available to the American engineer-ing profession translations of authoritativefforeign books which wvould be too expen-sive- for commercial publication.

CREWS HOLD EARLYMORNING PRACTICE

Veterans Row Regular ShellsFreshmen In Barges

Anyone who happens to be in the vic-inity of the Technology boathouse be-tween the hours of seven and eight in themorning can see an impressive sight. Eachday at this time there are eight boatsfilled with prospective crew mnen, outchurning up the Charles River under theguidance of Coach Bill Haines and hisassistants.

Twvo of these shells contain men who arecompeting for places on next year's vaT-

sity. The members of last season's fresh-man crew, wbich wvas a heavyweightsquad, fill one of these boats while theother is made up of men from last year'svarsity and jayvee crews. Since all thesecandidates have had at least one seasonof rowving in the regulation racing shells,they are the only ones who are privilegedto practise in the. lightweight boats.

The less experienced freshmen go out forpractice in lapstreak barges. These craftsare built very much like the regular shellsexcept they- have higher sides which makethem more seaworthy and a little heavier.Each morning about five or sixm of theseboats, filled with ambitious first-year men,row under the supervision of the freshmancoach, Al Dunning. Fromn this group,numbering about fifty, eight men will bechosen to represent the Class of 1935 inthe annual Field Day race against theClass of 1931.

Sophomores Preparing forNon-Existent Oppalzents

Forty-two husky and ambitiousSophomores are getting desp erate.Every night at 5 o'clock they gatherabout the old telephone pole in theback of the track house, fasten along rope to it and pull and pull andpull, to the lusty yells of theircounter. It is hard work eventhough a witty yearling has in-formed them that work is equal toforce multiplied by distance, andthey move no distance.

Now a serious complication hasset in. The freshmen have -onlyfour men out for the tug-of-warevtent. It is impossible to evenbegin practice with such a smallnumber. The dark cloud of victoryby forfeit is loomning up before thehardy Sophomores, who have beenlooking forward to pulling the fresh-men over the line in short order.They want their success earned,and well earned. A paradox pre-sents itself in their appeal to thefreshman class to show enoughclass spirit to form- a team. Theextent of the first-year-menl's classspirit will be shown by their re-sponse.

TEAM WINS FIRSTBATTLE OF SEASON

Egan Scores Both TouchdownsIn Last Quarter, Turning

Defeat to Victory

SQUAD PLAYS GOOD B.ALL

Sophomore gridmen won their firstgame of this season over Winthrop Dormi-tory, Harvard, to the tune of 13-7, in awell-played match on a slippery field.All men on the squad were given a chanceto play, and many of the men earned well-deserved praise for the part they had inthe scoring.

On the kickoff, the Engineers ran theball back for two first downs, and lost it toWinthrop, who carried it back again, andon a long pass, made a touchdown. Aheaved rain set in and prevented eitherteam from passing much for the next twoquarters. The running play was remark-ably firm and clean considering the con-dition of the field, and the fact that theseason was still so young.

Several substitutions were made duringthe first half, but the team that started thesecond half was the same as that in thefirst. Sieminsk;i played quarter through-out the game. The second period startedwith a kickoff by MacIvor of Technology,which went.to the.fifteen-yard line andwas run back about twenty yards. Therewas no serious threat of a score fromeither side until the last quarter, whenthe Sophomores tightened up and scoredwhen there remained only three and a halfniinutes to play. The ball was advancedtwenty-five yards on a forward pass toHall, and pushed across on a play off-tackle. The point was lost, after a five-vard penalty for offsides, and the play

FRESHMAN GRID MENPREPARE FOR MATCH

Team Includes Letter-men FromSeveral Prep Schools

With the big game against the Sopho-mores looming before them, the freshmanfootball team continues to practise onTech Field every afternoon.

According to Coach Henry E. Worcester'32, there are now more than' forty menout for the niew class's team, among whomare several letter-men from various prepschool teams. All are shaping themselvesup well for the Field Day encounter, andby all appearances the game should be ahotly contested one.i All candidates for both freshman andSophomnore teams are asked by CoachWorcester and Manager Stoll to be streto report regularly and on time for after-noon practice on Tech Field.

Conflicts with Inter-Fraternity Dance

Conflicting dates involving the Soph-omore Dance and the first InterfraternityDance planned for December 4 formedthe basis of a lively- discussion at the Insti-tute Committee meeting held yesterdayafternoon in the West Lounge of WalkerMemorial.

The meeting was opened at 5.10 o'clockby Chairman Donald B. Gilman '32. Rich-ard S. Fossett '33, in charge of Field Day reported plans for the event practicallycomplete with provisions made for pub-licity, programs and bleachers, ushers andmarshals tentatively appointed. He statedthat the Sophomore football team wasmaking more progress than the freshmanand that only four frcshm-c-n h1eld compe ouit

No One Injured WhxenBroken Dernick Boom

Drops Two- Ton Load

Accident Is Second Which MarsAn Otherwise Perfect

Record

Two tons of Indiana limestone yester-day proved too much for a six-ton woodenderrick boom on the new Phy sics andChemistrv laboratory . The boom snappedas the load was applied, but no one was in-jured as tc fall of the heavy timber wasstopped by the hoisting cables.

The stone, which was in two large squareslabs intended to be used as facing on thebuilding, fell back on the partially loadedtruck, and cracked several other slabs.Except for a small hole caused by theheavy steel block, the truck was not in-jured. The end of the boom was stoppedin its downward plunge by the cnablewhich wuas fastened near its center.

As it is impossible to back a truck closeto the building, it is necessary to lower theboom until it is almost resting upon theside wall of the building, and it is believedthat the accident was caused by the boombeing lowered a little too far. This per-mitted the weight of the boom to rest upon

STR^ATTON BACK ATHOME FROM ENGLAND

Attended Faraday CelebrationasInstitute Representative

After an absence of more than a monthin England attending the Faraday Cele-brations, Dr. Samuel W. Stratton and 'Mr.M. A. Parris returned to the Inlstitute onWednesday.

Dr. Stratton was the official representa-tiv-e of the Institute at the Celebrations,which were attended by eminent scientistsfrom most of the important countries ofthe globe. Besides England, Germany,France, Italy and the United States, coun-tries as far away as China and Japan,India, Russia, Egypt, South Africa, Aus-tralia, New Zealand, Tasmania and Brazil,

as well as many other European countries,united in sending delegates to honor thegreat experimenter.

The celebrations w ere combined with

similar festivities in Cambridge, in honorof Clerk Maxwell, who was Faraday' sgreat collaborator and technical assistant.The program included the unveiling of twromemorial tablets to Faraday- and ITIaxwvellin Westminster Abbey by Sir JosephTomplson, and a special CommemnorativeMeeting in Queen's Hall, L~ondon, Wit whichspeeches were made by Marconi, ProfessorElihu Tomp~son, and Sir William Braggand others.

M~uch of Faraday's original apparatushas been preserved by the Royal Institu-tion of Great Britain, and one of the mostinteresting parts of the program was anevening reception at which Sir Wil liamnBragg performed Faraday's experimentswith his original apparatus. Another veryinteresting experience was that providedby the twvo-days' program in Cambridge.The delegates were each put up at one ofthe colleges of Cambridge University, andwere consequently afforded an excellentopportunity to study first hand the life ofthe students in a famous and typical Eng-lish university.

"sTHE OILD 'COLL,'-. . . ")IN an article, "The Old 'Coll' -She Ain't What She Used To

Be," published in the recent Boston Unliversity Club News, andrehashed in his address at the All-Technology Smoker, ProfessorRobert E. Rogers has made the statement that college life and theenthusiasm for undergraduate activities is fast declining. Asspecific examples he points out that the Technology junior Weekno longer exists, that Tech Show is on its last legs, that smokersand dances of every sort are only half supported, and that under-graduate activities as a whole are being run through the effort ofa few conscientious individuals who soon will have to give up thelosing battle. His reasons, in reference to the Institute, are in thefirst place, that Boston offers too many attractions of every sort tobe a proper atmosphere for student loyalty to school functions, asopposed to the state twenty years ago when the smaller studentbody had to provide its own entertainment and extra-curricularinstruction, and in the second place, that the average modern stu-:dent believes himself too sophisticated to indulge in such trivialmatters.

While Professor Rogers has presented a logical argument, it isnot above debate. Is not his complaint vaguely reminiscent of theold grad who is constantly crying for "the good old days when -"?Cannot undergraduate activities and enthusiasms evolve in theirsignificance just as do science and the arts, or any function whichis subject to the wear and tear of time and experience?

The fact that the modern college man does not react To astirring speech on school spirit with the same enthusiasm as did hisfather, the fact that he is not especially impressed with seeing hisclassmates swishing across a stage in grass skirts, the fact that hewould much rather spend five dollars for an evening at the SheratonRoom than twelve dollars for a Junior Prom in Walker Memorial;do all these prove conclusively that college students in the majoritybelieve themselves too good for extra-curricular affairss run in con-nection with their alma maters? Decidedly not!

Nothing around us except things of the most material makeupis exempt from the inevitable desire of human beings to change orreplace. College activities are no exception to this infallible rule.At Technology, for instance, Dramashop is rapidly assuming theproportions of the Tech Show of 1912; fifteenl different sports aresupported in contrast to six in 1910; student publications nownumber four; in 1913 there were only two, and so on. This wouldnot seem to indicate that undergraduate activities are becoming athing of the past.

The college student of 1931 certainly acquires as much benefitfrom the undergraduate activities as did those of a decade ago, inspite of the fact that these -activities have assumed new shapes,and havre acquired new significances. The old regime is giving wayto the new, but the fundamental purposes, the ideals, and the desiretoward good fellowship, are still incorporated in their functioning,certainly to a degree equal to, if not greater than, those of twentyyears ago.

IMMEDIATE NEEDSSQUBSTITUJTION of some recognized sport for Physical Training

is a privilege allowed to the freshmen. Technology sports ingeneral, woe are given to understand, function to give the mostbenefit to the greatest number of men. In the case of squash thesetwso ideas contradict each other, as was realized in passing a motionyesterday at the Institute Committee meeting which aims to peti-tion the Corporation for greater facilities for this sport.

Squash is an athletic pastime which draws a considerable por-tion of --he student body and of the Faculty as well, and in light oftheineagre facilities available at present, it seems highly in orderthat the Advisory Council on Athletics prohibit further substitu-tion of this sport for Physical Training by the first-year men. Wechampion the Institute Commnittee and its petition, and we feelthat several new squash courts will be soon coming. As was men-tioned in the meeting, it is highly more logical, instead of worryingover twso million dollars for an enlarged Walker Memnorial, to askfor twenty-seven thousand dollars to meet an immediate need.Mtay the Corporation consider the petition from that point of view.

is a poor one! In self-defense, a man canplay nothing but classical music on the oldmachine. Now a little of that is O.K. buta little more is a lot too much. If theLounger knew who was responsible forthis, be would be highly publicized -andthe Lounger will find out. Gr, gr, gr, gr,threats! The system in vogue along themusical line causes a certain amount ofclassical knowledge by compulsory xneth-ods. A man is exposed to the virus willynilly, as the old journalists put it soquaintly.

Seriously, this music mess presents aproblem, although not in the way theLounger delights in presenting it. TheSong Book sales is and was a total flop.No one knows any Tech songs. The fresh-men learn a few at camp -and promptlyforget them. Now there are Technologysongs, and good ones, too. Do you everhear themn? Does the Lounger? Does any-one? The Lounger suggests that somebig-hearted organization buy a flock ofrecords made of our own songs and stickIem in the case in place of the antedilusvianjazz.

"Don't," he begged, praved,ordered, "Don't -under any circumstancesuse a five-inch slide rule." He paused anda mnurmer of mental agitation swept theroom as each man determined that thoughthe heavens themselves fall, he would notbe responsible for such a heinous offense.Nevrer, never would he operate a five-inchslip stick.

M. I. T. HARRIERSTO RUN TODAY INMEET AT HARVARD

Varsity and Freshmen EnteredIn Trek Against Three

Other Squads

FIRST RUN OF THE SEASON

Today at. 4 o'clock a four-cornered cross-country meet for both varsity and fresh-man teams will be held at Harvard, inback of the Dillon Field House. The fourstarting teams in each run are Technology, Harvard, Dartmouth, and New Hamp-shire. There will be forty men in each race,one team being limited to ten entries.

This meet, which is an annual affair, hadsome interesting results last year. Thevarsity run was won by Harvard with only20 points, Tech was second with 54, and

iDartmouth totalled 68, Newv Hampshirenot being entered. The individual honors,howev-er, went to Don Gilman of, Tech-nology, who led the field by a good margin.Other M. I. T. harriers who placed highwvere Clark, twelfth, and Gerhard, eight-eenth.

Last year's freshman race also furnishedplenty of excitement, Harvard winningthis one also with 30 points, Dartmouthcoming next with 51, and the Institutebringing up the rear with 61. Oddlyenough, the first tsvo men to finish worethe colors of Technology, Hall and Manncrossing the line in that order. Theirteammates were so far back, however, thattheir great work could not lift the Tech-nology team from last place..

This will be the first meet of the seasonfor both Dartmouth and Technology-, buttHarvard and Newv Hamnpshire, which haveeach run once, have already shown excep-tional class. Harvard's varsity swampedHoly Cross by the more-than-perfect scoreof 15 to 55, while the freshmen cleaned upby a 27 to 46 count. New Hampshire hasdone almnost equally wyell, the varsity win-ning, IS to 40, and the freshmen, 22 to 33,against Northeastern University.

Coach Oscar Hedlund of the Technologyteam has both his squads in excellentshape, and hopes for a good showing. Afterthis, their first competition, it will be eas-ier to judge their real strength.

Good PredictionsGiven for1l931-32Basketball Team

Much is Expected from LastYear's Freshmen and

Substitutes

Witll the basket ball season rapidlyapproaching, the prospects for a successf ulseason are unusually bright. Three first-string men from last veatr's team are back,as wvell as several substitutes. The vet-erans from the 1930-31 varsity are Caps.HarrvT L. Johnson '32, Timothy P. Coffey'32, and Fred P. Feustel '33.

Much is also expected of the membersof last year's freshman team, which wasone of the best ever turned out at the Institute. At the end of last season, they ivere showing marked improvement withemery game, and there are a f ew of thegroup who are slated for varsity berthsthis year.

Ambitious SchedulesBoth the varsity and freshman sched-

uies are exceedingly good, with a fair tmajority of the games at home. When the ltro open dates are filled, the varsity willhave a slate of twelve contests, while the VYearlings will play thirteen. The schedule1Vill be printed in a later issue of THE tTECH.

Manager John D. Rumsey '33 stated 9that basket balls are available in the Hangar Gym'for anyone who wishes tolStart practice early. Regular practice ses-,'!Ons will not begin until after Field Day abut a man who is in fairly good condition .by that time will have a much better 1

thzance of staving with the squad. Unfor-Nunately only a limited number of men can SfIbe retained, because of the lack of f acili-<

SEEDED MEN Wl.ININ FALL TOURNEY

Weaker Players Weeded Out inEarly Matches With Two

Rounds OverTennis these days is moving slowly, per-

haps on account of the weather, or perhapsjust on account of a lack of interest. What-ever may be the cause, quite a few of thematches have been defatulted, either to theman in the upper bracket, or both meneliminated entirely.

All of the first seeded players have comethrough in their first matches, TormsRegan has been successful in the firstthree rounds, although he barely wvon overE. N. Poor in the second round match.The game score of the first set indicat es abit of the struggle, for it w^as 9-7.

H. F. Ross has also had three matches,all of which he has won w ithout the loss ofmore than one game to at set. Fred Feustelhad a bit more difficulty in eliminatingA. G. Bowen, 6-1, 6-3.

Dick Hanley, the other of the first fourseeded players, has blasted his way quitesuccessfully to the third round. Others ofmore than average tennis ability have alsoadvanced to this round. Eder, Feuchter,and Seligman, all of last season's froshteam, have won their first two roundmatches with a fair amount of- ease; - S.Spragens has entered the third round byvirtue of two 6-0 defeats over opponents.

Third round matches are all scheduledto be Finished by tomorrowv afternoon.Since the early threats of M~anlager Bab-cock seemed to have been carried out re-garding defaults, all matches whill bereported by that time.

As this is the second scheduled game ofthe season, a win will do very much inboosting the morale of the team and in-crease its confidence. Schulze, CaptainVelez, and Kron give the forward line itsscoring punch, and wvill bear watching in

THE TECH

Hayden PraisesAppropriationzs

for Student AidCommunication Read at Annual

.Meeting of Members of:the Corporation

"Educational institutions that -ive fin-ancial assistance to students during thepresent trving economic period are notonly benefiting the individual, but pre-venting a serious increase in unemploy-ment," said Charles Hayden '90, ofHayden, Stone &- Company, Tew York,in a communication read by- PresidentKarl T. Compton at the annual meetingOf the Corporation Wednesday afternoon.

In his letter to the Corporation, Mr.Haydenit graduate of the Institute andlife member of the Corporation, discussedthe success of the Technology Loan FundOf $4,200,000 established last year as anexperiment in financing the education ofworthy students. Mr. Hayden is chairmanof the committee supervising administra-tiOll of the fund, which was subscribed by

a group of prominent alumni and friendsof Technology under the leadership ofGerard Sw ope, president of the GeneralElectric Company.

Expects To Quadruple Loan

"As part of its plan to help studentscontinue their education, the Institutethis year expects to lend four times asmuch money as in any previous year,"Mr. Hayden said. "Already 626 students

lave received grants from the TechnologyLoan Fund to the amount of $224,000.We expect that amount will be increasedby the end of the year.

"As an experiment in financing educa-tion, the Technology Loan Fund tak-es onnew significance at a time when familyresources are in many instances curtailedor completely exhausted. The Instituteis complying to the highest degree with therequest of President Hoover's organiza-tion on unemployment relief that every-thing possible be done to help students tocontinue their education."

Students Granted Extension of Time

President Compton told the Corpora-tion that in addition to grants from the

Technology Loan Fund, the Institute hasmade scholarship grants of $84,000 to 360undergraduate students, while graduatestudents were given financial assistance tothe sum of nearly 868,000. More than500 students were granted extension oftime in which to pay their tuition.

Humphries replied, "After quite somediscussion among the Sophomores, it hasbeen decided that December 4 is the bestdate we can possibly pick. A SophomoreDance is a very tricky thing, and can gounder very easily, and therefore I thinkthat the date is verv essential to its suc-cess."

Barker ObjectsTo this Barker pointed out that Decem-
