Engineless FlivverUses Parking Space

Amnong the amusing array of cut-down Fords, cars covered with ac-cessories, and other freaks of theautomobile world that are seenparked about the Institute everyday, the limit was reached last Fri-da) when someone took too literallythe well-known story of the Fordthat ran on its reputation, and usedone perfectly good parking spaceinll which to place his old enginelessflivver. As one walked past theplarking area, the car in questioll atfirst appeared to be a chariot of thefirst order, but on approaching it itsoon became evident that the radia-tor was lacking. On closer investi-gation it proved to be also devoidof motive power, for under the en-gine hood, where the four cylindersusually reside, one could see clearthrough to where the drive shafthad been disconnected front theclutch. Whether or not the old rel-ic had been placed there as a prac-tical joke or whether it had beenthe victim of a night attack has not

yvet been determined.

FROSH FOOTBALL TEAMROUTED BY ST. JAMES

St. James High whitewashed the fresh- aternoon bv the score of 35-0. The fresh- cmen eleven was completely helpless inthe face of the powerful St. James lineof charging backs, making only two firstdowns throughout the entire game.

The 1Ifrosh were unable to stop the end runs tof O'Neil, Donahue, and Broderick which nprovided the main source of scoring for athe St. James team; but in spite of every- athing the freshmen showed good clean pfighting spirit to the very finish. b

Onl Thursday night, the eve of FieldDay the Soplhomlore Class will holdtheir first official get-together andsmioker of the vear when the entireclass will gather in Walker Memorialto takel part in a programn arranged bythe class officers. Several pronminentundergraduate and graduate backersof the spirit of Field Day will speak atthe meeting in an effort to bring theclass together for the big struggle. Theusual refreshments of a smoker havebeen. arranged for and it was hintedthere were several other surprises onlthe program especially if the frosh 1wake up to their class consciousness.

Last rear the Class of 1926 held a 1banquet in north hail, W\alker, whichwas attended hr only part of the classalong with a few pestering freshmen (who attempted to break up the party. tThis y-ear the smoker is expected todraw a large percentage of the Soph lclass because of the absence of Tech cNight, the inimitable feature of former cField Days which was abolished thisvear by the Institute Ccmmittee.

Tickets wvill be given out all davy \Vednesdav in the main lobby to Soph-omnores so that any inquisitive members 0of the lower class may not crash the ngate at the big rally. The plans for PIthe conduct of the class on Field Day fwill be outlined at this time with a viewto having all the members work as a Punit the next day. The Soplhs haveselected a most appropriate mascot forthe parade, the character of wvhich isa deep secret.

In Thrilling Game onLynn Field

TEAM SHOWS UP WELL

io First Outside Football Game WonBy Beaver Team In

-t- oh 1 Two Years

esii- Technology won its first gridiron vic-st tory in many years when the Sopho-ri- more huskies ran rough shod over thev_- much touted General Electric eleven tois winll a game replete with thrilling plays,

12 to 7 on the Lynn field Saturday. Ex-s- cept for a short time in the third andn- fourth quarters Luke Bannon's war-e- riors had the home eleven under their

thumbs and in a great display of offen-sive and defensive power romped homevictorious when in the closing minutesof the game Ernie Dodge, playing rov-ing center, intercepted a forward passol the Beaver five yard line and raced95 yards for a touclhdown.

That run w'ill go down as one of thes great plays in the history of the sport

at Technology for the Engineers facingain ahimost sure defeat occasioned byseveral bad breaks, l)rought the teamtheir first victory of the season. The

dLynn gridnien had completed two pas-ses and were on the road to another

-touchdown over the aerial route when, Dodge snagged the pigskin out of the

air and with fine interference tore downthe length of the field amidst the wild

d cheering of the Technology backers onthe sidelines.

Red Earle Scores First GoalRed Earle scored the other touch-

dowvn in the first minutes of the gameV when he scooped up a G. E. fumble on

the Lynn 15 yard line crossing the.e goal line for a score. The home team

had received the ball onl their 20 yardline from Steele's punt and after tryinga line puay that was stopped dead, they

- attempted an end run that ended in thes fumble when Burke crashed through to

drop the runner with a hard tackle theY ball bouncing neatly into Earle's hands.

Cline's attempt at a drop kick for theextra point was blocked.

General Electric kicked to Dyer onthe 15 yard line who advanced the ballto the 30 yard mark before he wasstopped. (Cline wVent off tackle for fouryards, Burke hit center for three more.A long pass Cline to Burke netted 15yards and first down. Dyer was heldwith no gain.

GEORGE SWARTZ '24

THE TECH extends its deepest sympathies and condolences to1Tthe relatives and friends of George Swvartz '24, who died in Cali-

fornia last Thursday night. Sw artz weas President of the ALLI.T.A.A.last year, and as such wvas on the Athletic Advisory Council. Hewas connected wdith the Athletic Association ill managerial posi-tions during the 1najority of his undergraduate life, and at thesame timge did a great deal of other exitra-curriculum work.

His death removes from the ranks of Technology Alumni oneof the mosting promising of the younger men.

W'e are gllad to note the success of the Dorm Dance Comn-mittee ill reducing the insidious stag line to a mninimium lastFriday night.

SPORTS VERSUS PTI

BUDGING front appearances, the present freshman class is in favorJ of Monkey Drill as opposed to' anv o'ther formn of physical train-ing. To date, only about half as many mien have signed. up forsubstitution of athletics for PT1 as have in past years. Mir. M~c-Carthy, the Physical Director, has already -ranted an extension oftime b~eyond the date that these substitutions have had to be madepreviously, and this evening at five o'clock is the last possible hourto take action in order to avoid spending two hours a wreek untilSpring go through the conventional Monkey Drill.

It is from the present freshmen that our athletes of the futuremust b~e drawn, and if these men refuse to go out for sports this year,they are losing -valuable time in getting training for the future.No one has ever been found that likes M~onkey Drill, but it is a neces-sary evil, unless a mian has sufficient initiative and ambition, to goup to the Physical Director's office and sign up for a sport.

We are renlinded of the multi-titled officers of certaincolored organizations when wve see a Technology man walk-ing around writh half a dozen or mlore society emblems displayedon his vest.

CHANGING VIEWS ABOUT FRESHMEN

THE alpproacll of Field Day and its acconipanving burst of class1Tspirit calls attention ag-ain~ to the status of the benighited fr-esh-

rnan. That the ulnder-radtiate spirit of --,American colleges is under-g~lga tr-ansforilllation. in this respect is ev inced by a survey of the

Collegiate Press. 1 or the past several years newvs and editorialopinion llave indicated a rising tide of oppositioll to Sophlomore-freshmall rivalry being expressed in hazing and rough antagonism.

Thle Teclinlolog-v Field Day alas purposed to mitigate, throughorganized class contests, clamlorouls, disorganized pub~lic expressionsof underclass riv-alry. M~any other colleges have adopted similarexpedients, and the fact that such. movses have largely been initiatedby students is an interesting indication of the development of amore serious and broader viewpoint.

Tlle Sophomores are realizing that the freshmen are embryonicupper-classmen, and that no amount of bullying and sporadic haz-ing will improve their possibilities. On the other side, it is to beobserved that freshmen are realizing their position, refraining fromforwardness, and cheerfully accepting the regulations designed tosolidify and unify them as a class.

THE BRIDGE

T last traffic has been permitted to use the Harvard Bridge, inLA one direction again. This is a thing that all citizens of Boston

and Cambridge, but more especially the students at the Institutewho happen to have cars, and live in the near vicinity of the Bostonend of the bridge, should rejoice at. No longer will it be necessaryfor them to go clear up to the Cottage Farm Bridge in order tocover the eight hundred yards across the river.

It is really a. pleasure to walk across the bridge and not haveto keep one eye open for flying timnbers, and the other on the side

walls to void fallng throuhthe hols in thefoo-wy As -this

is written on Sunday the Boston Elevated has not yet started run-ning cars ovfer the river, thoug-h they where supposed to start onSaturday. Howsevrer, all is in readiness for them, and according toElevrated officials, they intend to start themn running to-day.

THE: TECH takes pleasure in announcing the election ofG. A. Hall '27t and L. F. VanA.Tater '27 to the position of Assis-tant Treasurers, and of WV. H. Reed '27 and J. S. Harris '27 tothe position of Assistant Circulation Managers.

A Record ofContinuousNews Servicefor 43 Years

Biography of Pres.Williamn B. Rogers(Edlitors note:-This is the second of a series

of B~iographical sketches of the famous In-stittite inienl represented by the new pictures i'nthe main hall of Wtalker Miemnorial. Others wvillI~e published from time to time.)

Prof. William Barton Rogers was bornill Plliladelphia, December 7, 1804. Af-ter completing his preparatory work inlocal schools, he entered the University ofPennsylv ania w-lere be received the de-gree of Doctor of Medicine. Due to hisbrilliant work in college along the linesof the natural sciences, lie was asked totake the chair of Chemistry and Physicsat William and Mary College, left vacantb%- the death of Dr. Hare.

About this time, he gave a course oflectures at the Maryland Institute, whichwon1 for him instant popularity, and nolittle professional reputation as a scientificinvestigator.

Among his early papers was one oil"Dew," one written inl collaboration wvithhis brother Henry, one on the "VoltaicBattery," and one entitled "Green Lanldsand Marls of Eastern Virginia and their

dValue as Fertilizers." This latter workwvas practically speaking, the first realeconomic survey o f any type introducedill this country. His work oll this mat-ter thoroughly convinced him that a com-plete geological survey was an absolutenecessity for the prosperity of the state.Accordingly, he appeared before the Leg-islature of Virginia, and presented hisplan. The University of Virginia wvastile first to recognize his point of view,maksing him Professor of Natural Phil-osophy and Geology. Legislature was notfar behind him with anl appointment asState Geologist of Virgillia.

His tireless efforts in this field wVoI forhim the title "Father of American Geol-ogy.,, He remained head of the Geo-logical Survey until 1842, at which timea tremendous amount of material hadbeen accumulated. This material, yearslater, formed practically the foundationof the United States Geological Survey.Among the more important of his earlyrscsarchs were: the solvent action ofwater, especially that containing carbonicacid; the wave theory of the formationof mountain chains by a simple corrugatedcrust ̀ ftovetment; and observations andcoIclusioIIs concerning thermal springslocated over an area o f five thousandsquare miles in New York; State.

But let us not forget that all this timehe had been conducting classes; and itwvas in his classes that lie enjoyed hisreal popularity. He had the most won-dlerfull power of scientific exposition.Crowds thronged his lecture room. Touse the words of one of his old students,"All the aisles would be crowded andithe windows from the outsidie." His flu-ency, his clearness (of expression, hisbeauty of diction made his lectures uni-versally popular. Thirty-five years after,there was a senii-centennlial at the Uni-versity of Virginia-a Northerner, Pro-If essor Rogers, was there; lbut somethinggreater ecclipsed the fact of his North-ern sympathies : "the old student beheldbefore hint the same William B.

A certain gentleman connected withT. E. N. recentlv miade a inost potentsuggestion to the Lounger. The gran-ite block pavement on the Harvardbridge is not really fastened dowrn. Theonly thing that is holding it, or ratherthe individual blocks, plus somie inoreor less plastic tar.

Nowv, for the next inlonth or two, thes-are going to have one wvay traffic acrossthe bridge. The pave-enelt is laid inlstretches of fifty or a hundred feet (theLounger didn't have anlbitionl eaoulghto go out and find out howe long thechunks are, but the alcove figures wvillcover it nearly enough for purposes ofargullelt) with angle ironls, that arebolted down, supporting the ends ofeach section.

According to the Lounlger's froshlphysics, action and reaction are equaland opposite. All the action oaI theAbridge is front Boston to Cambridge.Therefore, the reaction is fromn Carn-b~ridge to Boston. Those trucks arepUS}Iilg backwards on those graniteblocks, and the Lounger can't see +-,hatisi goillg to keep thein fromn getting allpiled up at the Boston end of eachi sec-tionl. Do you get the idea ?

Having finished with the bridges theL~ounlger will now turn to his otherworthy opponent, the Mil. Sci. Depart-ment. Rumors and reports filter III Oilthe West Wind of a wonderful and ter-rible systemn that they heave derived forarriving at the mark due those who aretaking Soph Military Science. For thepast several Xyears. there wvas no reallyfeasible systeml in operation. The miethodlof kicking the quiz papers down stairsand marking themi according to the stepthey land oll wvorkss certain unfairness,as even the Military men realized. Nowthe idea is to tak~e the nullller of timesa mian has cut during the termi, raise itto the three halves power, subtract itfrom 118 rnillus the iman's age mrinusthle average amount that the marks thathe has received on his quizzes differf rom one hundred and multiples theresult by3 olle. Wllat could lbc sinipler?

All of wvhichl brings us lback to GS98,which is a cross between Mil. Sci- anda regular course. According to, theColonel, men not comnplying with cer-tain conditions will be CREDITEDwith an absence. His idea of creditand that of the Lounger differ, that'sall.

We see byX the papers that a newcourse is being offered by the Depart-menlt of English at the University- ofKentuckv which is called "Conversa-tion."1 the object of which is to teachthe students the art of Conversation.The Lounger supposes that tile men(and women) -ather together and servetea. and talk about not much of anv-thillg. Except for the tea, it soundslik~e most of our courses.

Another good one comnes from EurekaCollege (Yes, it exists. The Lounlger

lvooked it up in the World Almanac. It's:n Eurekca. Illinois.) The Seniors therebourv a fruit cale at the beginning of theycar, andl theta Blong -about Commenirce-

neflet time, dig it up and have a realf cast. It reminds the Lounger of theoldl custom of burying eggs for an in-dlefinitc period and then eating them. Wehlope the cake tastes good. That's all.

The Lounger feels that he has beenneglecting his friend the enemy. kll ofwhich is to say, the Faculty has not beenconsidered sufficiently these past fewweeks. The Lounger has had his handsfull with politics, and such unimportantmatters, and has been sadly kind towardshis worthy opponents.

The present situation is this:-He isinflicted at present with a course whichis supposed to be indespensible to thosewho can afford steamer fare across thebriny deep. All of which is to say, he islaboring under the graces of the ModernLanguage Department. 'His suggestion isto require all instructors to take a ciourseill arithmetic,

That may seem radical, and may beobjected to under the Constitution of theUnited States, which states that no oneshall have imposed on them any punish-ment that is cruel or unusual. However,here's what everrvbody in this particularcourse is up against at present: Lessontwelve is unusually long. Accordingly,we'll take half of it with lesson eleven,and half of it with lesson thirteen, bothof which are of the customary length.This, you see, tends to equalize the longlesson twelve, by cutting it in half. 'That's

g-oo lde rulie ruemath for you. The Lcunger intends to get this instructor to figureout his income tax report for him, whenlie has one. He doesn't see where theprofitt comes in, but there must be acatch somewhere that mak~es twice oneand a half equal to zero, or something.It really beats a cross-word puzzle allholow.lV

ISWIMMING TRYOUTS ONWEDNESDAY AT Y.M.C.A.

Coach Dean is particularly anxiousthat every possible candidate will ap-pear for the swimming try-outs at 5o'clock Wednesday afternoon at theBoston Y pool. All men will be racedcompetitively in the hundred yard dashas Coach Dean wishes to get a line onthe extent and ability of the material.This applies to the old men as well asthe new, but of course it is the newmen that the coach is anxious to lookorer.

Fall swimming will culminate with aninter-class meet which will include allevents. It is essential for the successof the swimming schedule in the springto have a thorough fall training season;so with this idea in view in additionto the preparation for the inter-class,svimming devotees should begin someactive training.

Slhould men engaged in Field Daypreparation be unable to get to the YWednesday. another try-out will beheld the following Wednesday to givethese men an opportunity to show theirwares. At this time a fifty yard dashwill be timed. Those wishing to divewill also be given an opportunity towork out competitively.

Coach Dean calls attention to thefact that unless freshmen desiring tosubstitute swimming for PhysicalTraining sign up before tonight, thephysical training department will notallow them to do so later. Today isthe last opportunity to make a substi-tution.

At present only eight men are ap-pearing regularly and this is by nomeans enough to insure a successfulseason. Fully 40 men should be out forpractice. Freshmen are reminded thatthey have as full a schedule as thevarsity.

INSTITUTE TENiNIS HASBRIGHT OUTLOOK AHEAD

Now that the Fall Tennis Tourna-Iment is history and once more J. E.Russell, captain of next year's varsity,is winner of the Tennis Cup, the pros-pects of next year's tennis team lookbrighter than ever. The team lost onlyone man by graduation, Captain Tres-sel, runner-up in the New England In-tercollegiates. The other three mem-bers of last year's team all camethrough to the semi-finals; the fourthman being Ernie Hinck, captain of the1927 team.

\Withl four good men like this toform the nucleus of a team, the pros-pect of Technology making a cleanssvcep of next vear's Intercollegiatesseenls assured. The doubles team ofTressel and Russell, winners of theNew England title, is broken up, butBroadhurst and Peck, the second dou-bles team is still intact, and should beco:nsiclderably improved after a year'spractice together. Russell, Hinck, andBroadhurst all intend to do consider-alble playing indoors this winter, so thatwxvhen spring permits outside playing.it whill tatke but a couple of days toadjust themselves to clav or turf.

The niost welcome addition to thetearn will be Ernie Hinclk. runner up toRussell in the Fall Tournament, boththis year and last. As captain of lastspring's freshman team, he lost onlyone match and that to Larry Evanb,Andover captain and runner-up in theNational Interscholastics. ManagerMcFarland is already booking meetsfor next spring.

In order to determine the best cox-swain at the boathouse, Bill has beentrying out a different one for the Var-sity each week. Houghton and Cohnhave both had a chance at it and at thepresent time Thomas is piloting theeight.

Relay TeamsAreFast Getting IntoShape for Friday

Sophomores Practice HoldingBaton-Freshmen Have

Strong Team

With Field Day only a few days awayboth Sophomore and ireshmen aspi-rants for the relay teams are practicingharder than ever. Ally afternoon, themen can be seen practicing starts andbursts, in an endeavor to be fit forthe time trials which will be held thisafternoon. With over 25 men out forthe berths on each team, the trialsshould give a fair idea of the speedof which each man is capable.

The Sophomores with most of lastyear's team back and a year's experienceradiate a spirit of confidence thatshould help a great deal in winning.Their only fear of losing lies in theiact that they might drop the baton asthey did last year. In order to makesure that last year's mistake be notrepeated, considerable practice alongthis line is taking place. Until this at-ternoon, no one is certain of makingthe team, although the concensus ofopinion is that the team will be builtaround Wiebe, Steinbrenner, Smith andK E. Smith. In as much as Crandellpulled a tendon in practice the otherday, there is very little possibility thathe will be ready by Field Day.

The freshmen are not given to dis-cussing their chances in the baton pas-sing contest, yet there is no depressionamong tlhiem. They are doing theirbest to get ready, and hoping that theirbest is good enough to win. It is usu-ally pretty difficult to judge a freshmanteam till after Field D)ay and this yearis no exception. They have a numberof men that are showing up excellentn practice, including Stevenson,Schwartz, Collins and Senior. Steven-son is probably the best man in thefreshman class, having competed inseveral B. A. A. meets from scratch.At present he is not in his best con-dition, but by spring he should be ableto hold his own with the best in theInstitute.

SOPHS TO HOLD FIRSTSMOKER ON THURSDAY

This week P. I. Cole, President ofthe class and Luke Bannon will addressthe Sophs several times at the Physicslectures during the week to explain tothe class the need of coming out Thurs-day night and cutting loose with theirspirit. "Class spirit has been a deadissue this year but we are going towake up with a bang and show thosefrosh a thing or two Field Day," saidCole when interviewed yesterday andit is the opinion of the rest of the classofficers.

Since a light has been placed at thecorner of the float, no mishaps havehappened, such as ramming. Beforethis light was placed there, it was very-difficult for the coxes to see exactlywhere to bring in the shell.

SOPHOMORES HOLDSMOKER TO ROUSE

FIELD DAY SPIRITFreshmen Invited to Attempt to

Attend Gathering of1927 Men

PROMISED WARM WELCOME

"Freshmen are cordially invited to at-tempt to attend the Sophomore smoker,"said P. I. Cole '27, President of theSophomore Class, in talking about thesnmoker to be given by the SophomoreClass in main hall, Walker, tomorrow at7:30 o'clock. "The) will be given aswarm a reception as it is in our powerto give them."

The smoker is being given to arousethe Field Day spirit of the Sophomores,and the program of entertainment in-cludles, according to the posters which the1927 men have spread around, "wine,women, and song."' The Sophomores willprovide the song, three women have beenengaged to entertain the men, but thewine has not yet shown any signs of ap-pearing. G. L. Bateman '25, Presidentof the Senior Class, and Austin Cole'25 will speak. A novel and spectacularfeature has been arranged to follow thesmoker, but the class officers have notyet revealed its nature.

Last year the then Sophomore Classheld a banquet to instill the proper FieldDay spirit into its members. Instead ofinstilling Field Day spirit the Class of1927 seized the opportunity to instill in-to the Sophomores anythng they couldlay their hands on, including a littledarkness caused by removing the fuseswhich control the lights in main hall;then some water from a fire hose, andfinally attempted to add some laxativeto the soup. This last was done becausethe freshmen wanted their opponents tobe in the best of health for the contests.

This year's Sophomores expect notrouble from the freshmen, however,"for", says their President, "the Class

WVith over 600 freshmen here at theInstitute and only 350 copies of the 1928Gray Book to supply the demands of theclass, Technique will have to publish asecond edition of the book if the major-ity of the frosh decide that thev wouldlike to own copies of this year book.As has already been announced, thosefrosh who are unable to secure copiesbecause of a shortage on Field Day maypurchase books by leaving their namesand orders at the booth in the mainlobby where the books will be sold onFriday. The second edition should beready within a week if the demand isgreat enough to warrant its publication.

An analysis of the financing behind thepublication of the Gray Book shows whysuch a small number of copies have beenprinted. Last year, the Gray Book soldfor two dollars. This year the book isbeing sold for half that price, althoughtile cost of publication still amounts totwo dollars. The loss on this year'sGray Book is being shouldered by Teclh-nique Volume 40. Accordingly, statesthe Technique board, in order to makethe loss thus incurred as small as pos-sible, the minimum amount of copies isbeing printed.

The form of the book is greatly dif-ferent from that of last year. The bookis bound in stiff boards, 6 inches highand 8Y2 inches wide, that is, opening thelong way of the book. Last year's bookopened the other way, yeas much larger,and -was bound in paper. The books willbe on sale in the main lobby and at theentrance to building 2 on Friday morn-ing.

COUNCIL REGRETSMISMANAGEMENT ATBROWN TRACK MEET

Late Arrival of Managers andArgument Over Distance

Causes Confusion

CONSTITUTION IS TABLED

Question Ferre's Eligibility onFencing Team as He

Is a Graduate

At the second meeting of the M. I.T. Advisory Council on Athletics yes-terday evening there was little of speci-fic importance taken up and the talkwas confined to an informal generaldiscussion due to the fact that themembers wished to make the meetingas short as possible on account of theelections returns. Dr. Rowe called at-tention to several bad slip ups duringthe past year which have tended togive the Institute a shaky reputation as

t far as athletics are concerned.Last June Dr. Rowe received a let-

ter stating that in going over the filesin the M. I. T. A. A. office, a largenumber of shingles were found whichshould have been presented to the xvin-ners of the events anywhere from twoto four years previous to their dis-covery. Although practically all ofthem were sent out in duplicate whentheir absence becanme known, such anoccurrence, he stated, lessened the con-fidence of the nlen in their Athletic As-sociation and certainly did not tendto make thenl especially devoted aluniafter graduation.

Tossed For DistanceAnother very regrettable incident oc-

curred in the Brown cross country meetlast Fridav. Although the meet wasscheduled for four o'clock the Instituterunners did not make their appearanceuntil a half hour later and even at thattime there was not a sign of an officialor of a manager. Finally, however thenmen got out on the field and were allready to start off when a question aroseas to distance. The Technology nienhad understood the meet to go threeand a half miles and Doc Conners hadcoached them accordingly but theBrown men insisted equally emplhati-cally that the race wvas scheduled as afive mile one.

After a long and somewhat heatedharangue by the Brown coach it wasfinally decided to toss for the distance.The suggestion was carried out and theBrown team winning the decision, theyelected to run the five miles. Therewere no officials present and due to the

SENIOR MEDICAL EXAMGIVES HELPFUL DATA

Technology Medical DepartmentPioneer in Student Care

As a part of the research being con-ducted by thre Medical Department onthe effect of intensive study on phys-ical well-being, all mrernbers'of the Se-nior class -will undergo a physical ex-amination. after the last of the fresh-men examinations are over. Not onlywill the effect on general health be de'-terinined, but also any special defectswili be noted and their causes found.Thus, in the future, there will be anattempt to eliminate those causes andconsequently increase the welfare ofthe student body. At present, accord-ing to the records of the Medical de-partments, the majority of the studentswho leave the Ilstitute before gradu-ating, are forced to do so because ofill health.

As a whole, the Seniors seem to ap-prove of the examinations, and severalprominent members of the class haveexpressed their appreciation of the val-ue derived from the examinations.

FINAL PLANS FOR FIELD DAYARE NOW COMPLETED-BOTH

CLASSES TO HOLD MEETINGS

"Counting the ChickensBefore The're Hatched"

"The freshman class is a/raid toattempt anything against the Soph-omiores at their Smoker," says P. I.Cole,President of the Class of 1927."They know we are mluch the bettermen and they would not even daretry their strength against us FieldDay except that they are still moreafraid of being laughed at."

R. W. Head, President of theJunior Class and answering for thefreshnmen declared "The statementof the Sophomore President is to-tally unfoundled and is in no wav astatement of the facts. The Soph-oriores are undulv overconfident anddo not realize tfae strength of thefreshmen. It would be better towait until after Field Day before ad-vancing rash predicitions."

Tomorrow-Freshmen toMeet at 5

GIVE UP TEA DANCE PLAN

\'ith both the lower classes of theInstitute enthusing over the Field Dayteams and with activities to raise spiritbeing undertaken, tlhe lowly freshmanand the sophisticated Sophomore havealready relegated the national electionto the background and are waiting forFriday afternoon when they can matchstrength and skill with each other.Unable to wait for Friday to dawn theSophs have anticipated matters byscheduling a Smoker for Thursdaynight, while their freshmen rivals, de-ternlined not to be outdone, are collect-ing a "slush" fund to help increase theirchance of winning.

Immlcdiatelv following the crew racesthe Soplhomores will assemble on theInstitute side of Charles River Roadnear the end of Harvard Bridge fromwhere they will parade to the fiell.The freshmen will form in DuPontCourt at the same time. There will beno band to lead the parade this year.

Field Dav Committee assures theundergraduate body that there will bean ample supply of Marshals on handto care for any over exuberant spirits.

In order not to permit their Soph-o:more opponents to have a monopolyof class spirit the freshnmen are hold-ing a mnass nleeting in room 10-250 to-morrow at 5 o'clock. Leaders of thedifferent teanis will address the classin a final attempt to arouse a fightingspirit.

No stone has been left unturned toinvoke aid fronm the occult scienceseither, for both classes ascribe extra-ordinary powers to mascots. Both mas-cots are secret at present but no secretis made of their boasted strength andability to carry their possessors throughcrises.

RADIO BROADCASTSELECTION RETURNS

Results Received in Walker byJoint Station of Radio Men

and THE TECH

A large crowd filled the West Loungeof Walker .-femorial last night and re-ceived the results of the election directlyover the radio installed jointly by theM.I.T. Radio Society and THE TECH.Soon after 6 o'clock the returns beganto come in fropi local broadcasting sta-tions and were received with a few inter-ruptions until late in the evening. A fewdelays were caused by the necessity ofwaiting for the returns to get in to thecentral compiling stations and for thereports received to be classified.

The apparatus, a powerful Acme Re-flex outfit with a loud speaker, was setup yesterday afternoon by the membersof the Radio Society. It was tested outoilon the evening's market report and wasready for action when the Boston sta-tions began their announcements. Thisnews service gave Technology more com-plete service than several of the Bostonpapers furnished. One daily had a search-light signal service which, however, wasworked only occasionally and failed totell more than who was leading.

Members of the various clubs at onetime nearly drowned out the radio withtheir arguments over their respective can-didates, but as a rule they were philoso-phic and cheerful when their candidatelagged. While several men present stay-ed most of the evening most of the crowdcame periodically to listen awhile andthen return to their studies.

There are nlumerouts wtays ill which rivalry b~etwreen the tworSIcla'sses can showr itself besides b:y the defacing of property.

Besides injuring the names of |iathe classes themselves, painting buildings also discredits the rePu- l,tation of the Institute as a whole, and the glory of the painting, or |twrhatever- the perpetrators expect to -et from their actions, is }1

certainly not sufficient for this. bWe hope that no less inter-class rivalry woill be shown this :Field |

Day than ill past years, but let it be real rivalry, and not childish|prankishness.I

SPORTS VERSUS HAZING

TT is a strange coincidence that the wveek previous to our Field|Day the Freshmnan Discussion Clubl at Harvard adopted a resO- .

lution by a 40 to 5 vote that "hazing should be sanctioned at Har- fvard." Twxenty-thlree years ago, on November 19, the first Tech-|snology Field D5ay wvas held. It was a trial substitute for the old|cane rush between the two lower classes, in which a man was killed.|The idea was instantly successful, as was evinced by the enthuiastic|preparation which the freshmen and Sophomores made for the first tTechnology Field Day. Thus the Institute substituted for the dan- c|gerous form of hazing then in vogue a safe and sportsm-ianlike con- atest between the rival classes. l1

The main argument advanced by the Discussion Club in favror tof its resolution wuas that "Sophomore-freshm-an" horseplay helpsto unify the entering class and eliminate its indifference.. This con-tention is not unfounded, but certainly a definite, ordered chance for i~competition bet-ween the classes is a much better means to stir up 'sclass spirit and rivalry. 9

By the estal)lishmrlent of F~ield Day Technology became one of XP

the earliest colleges to oppose heazing in an active wvay. There is a tgrowing prejudice against hazing ill American colleges, and thisamzovemellt is highly commendable. It is inevitable that there should lbe rivalry between Sophlomores and freshmen evrerywvher~e, and suchtrivalry is undoubtedly a most desirable thing as a unifying factor,,but wihy should it b~e allowved to mak~e a freshman's life miserable,,and in some cases, even dangerous?!

The Freshmnan Football Team, with 126 points scored againstthem in twto games, is demoralizing the Sophomores. The latter.have no ambition to stage a track meet on the grid-iron.

ON CUTTING

TF the students at the Institute wrould -realize that they are hlere forltheir own benefit and edification, they would get more out of I

their college career. They would see the folly of cutting classes,lectures and conferences. There is no earthly use in paying out goodmoney to get an education here at one of the most expensive in-stitutions in the country and then trying to dodge everything thatmay help along that education. No one would be sufficientlyr foolishto buy tickets to a showv and then decide that there was somethingof greater interest elsewhere. Everyone ridicules such a thought.People do not do things like that if they are in their right minds.The same people who laugh at the thought of missing a perfectlygood show, however, thrill deliberately cut a class or lecture merelybecause it may inconvenience them sightly. It's a silly practice, butit's done, nevertheless.

The cutting of conferences, in addition to cheating the stuidenthim-self out of the best opportunity in the world to find out hissrealknesses and faults, is very discourteous. It is the height of im-

politeness as asell as the greatest of indiscretions to thus -et on the-wrong side of one's teacher. If wve must look at such things fromrthe purely selfish standpoint, let us re-member that it pays to keepin quell Marital the novreres that be.

DIFFERENT KIND OF AREVIEW AT MAJESTIC

A colorful hodge-pzodge~ of good andIa fews very good skits is Chlariot's Re-Iviewe, nlow\ entering its second wecek atIthe Majestic. Thle showv is distinctlydifferent froin the usual run of reviews,in that it is a series of entirely dis-connlectedl skits. Also novel is thie re- liance of the show o11 huimor of thespoken whord rather than onl the jazzandl glorious blare of the usual Anicri-call musical comedy.

Thlere are four bright particular starsill the ab~le cast, but Beatrice Lilliestands out far ahead of the other three,even ahead of Herbert Mundinl andSam Hurd. She is inimnitable; hervoice, lier dallcing, Iler costumes, andeven the waya she stands are side-split-ting. Gertrude Lawvrence's singing isnotable for its sweetness and feeling.

Tlhe humior of the lines is nowheresubtle-just good solid British fun. Themiusic is smooth, with a few catchytunes. It is particularly to be coni-menlded that nowhere do-es the orches-tra obtrude upoII tile sinlgers, as so of-ten happens in musical showes. Thesettings are miodern, and some of thernreally artistic, particularly in "Thereare timies," and in the finale. "Inau-dibility," a thrust at -mounthilg" actors,was amusing in its contrast of nmunil-ling and shouting. "Cigarette Land,""There's Life in the Old Girl Yet," and"Peace and Quiet," wvere particularlybright parts of the program.

ENGLISH COMEDY ATCOPLEY IS WELL DONE

For one liking the light comedy ofthe English type, the "Lads Hunt-worth's Experinient" bys R. C. Cartonl,is a play at the C~oplev that is verywvell donle and affords an enjoyableevening to the theatre-goer. The selec-tiOnl of the plavers to fit the differentcharacters is especially fortunate andlends a well-played aspect to the per-fo~rmlance. May Ediss as Kesiab, thescullery mnaid, lends a bit of the ludic-rous to the plot that sets the audiencerocking with laughter.

Thec thlemle of the Ola%, whlile inlter-esting£,. is not of the typec that keeps anlaudience alwravs alert and has a ten-dlencev at tinmes even to l)ecomle monlot-Ollous. Were it not for the clever hu-

Returning for a nminute to Voo Doo,the Lounger agrees with whichever ofthe editors wras putting in the razzeson the cleanliness of Mass. Ave. Pro-vidd the aforesaid editor wvas refer-ring to the sand on the deah old Har-vard Bridge, It happens to })e the fateof the Lounger to have to walk; offerthat edifice at intervals, and if therehappens to be a breeze stirring at thetimie, the result is one of the miost ad-ii-rablel andl effective sand blasts thatit has ever been tile inisfortutict orftile Lounger to conie in front of. Niosandc blast is pleasant to stand b~efore,belt this one takes the cake. %*Vli\ tile'-treet C'leane~rs' Unlion perlllits till.-; Iloton1 their escutClleon to) reillilii xtant~lis b~ev nd the fulrthlesL collcvei of inu~stpeople.

'Slin(lue is sniqluer than ustial thisear. For the benefit of tie I)eniglhtedfrosh, the- 1oull-,cr wtill e~xplalin thllty itis oule of the great annutal tradlitionlsof the Institulte that THES TE-CH- shallclean up Techlniqlue ill a ' footlhall"gamne, to be playred about the iniddleof _7'ovenllber. in past Xycars, it hasccen a poillt of honor oil bothl Sidetsnot to begin practice till five da}ys lbe-for-e the gaine, and ill 120 case untilafter the challenge and acceptance havelwenl exchanged. This y ear, 'Sniqutehas already sniclued in two practices onti.-, anld they are going strong. How-canl then expect t1S to live up to the tra-dlitionl and clean theinl tip if they b~reakfaith that -vvav`?

Tile Senior Crexv is coingi l,rtrorng.So far, they have two lnenilbers. Fine.This wvill siniplify matters. Thlen% canuse a single scull with the cox astridethle stern. If he puts his right foot inthe water, the boat tulrls to starboard.andl vice-versa. If lie puts both feetdowsn hard, ilaybe he can keep the boatfromn raniming the dock, and so bcatout the frosh. That will be very good.Further, there is no possilbilitv of nunll-ber 2 raninling nurmber 3 in the stuallof the back with the loom of his oar,because there is neither nulmller 2 ornumlber 3. That further makes practiceeasy. The timing will he rather hard,bout if the cox sings out loudly enlough,lie niav b~e able to lbe heard' b%, themneibers of the crew.

The Institute has acquired all acro-beat ill this vear's freshman class. TheLounger woas weandering across the clin-kers the other day, and an ainiablefrosh strolled up to the cable that pas-ses for a fence along the roadway, andstepped up ol1 the cable and did a verycreditable slack wire performance. Itbvrougllt the Lounger lback to the daysof his childhood when he used to trythat himself, to the destruction of hisclothes and hide. However, this bird de-serves credit. He did it, and didn't fall,at least as long as the Lounger watchedllim. He should join the circus. Hewvill 'niake a mnuch better living therethan as an engineer.

The Lounger has perused -vesterdlay's'issue of Phosphorus, and he is here tostate that without the aid of one Vir-gil Quadri (Class of 1926), the art workcin the recent edition would have beenpretty much non est. Being of a statis-tical turn of mlind. he has calculatedfwith the aid of his slip-stick) that31.8182 percent of the drawings (exsclusivre of the advertisements) are bvNthe above i-eritionled, while tile art ed-itor himself did onlir 31.81818 percent.Th is also excludes the cover, whichdoesn't co-unt, ally way. Of the re-mainder, Hurkanip did 13.636 percent,K~ane did 9.09 percent and the rest arelunsigned or the signature is not legible.

The albove figures are on a numberbasis. Not having a planinileter handy,

Ithe Lounger could not figure it out onlan area b~asis, but the figures would befiftee the saine. So far as the generalquality of the issue is concerned, theLounger read it through with a distinctfeeling of relief. There seems to bea mluch letter grade of humor in thisnumber, both as hulnor, and fromn theviewpoint of readibility. On thewhole,the Lounger really thought that thiswas a pretty good nunmber,-for VooDoo.

covered that due to an error in set-ting up the flags the course run overwas 'lot five mniles but a bare four. This

of course turned things upside downagain and the niett was not an tntiresuccess.

Allen Basset arrived later and wasasked to give an explanation. Accord-ing to his statement the distance hadbeen decided upon definitely as threeand a half inles lbut the day before themeet he received a letter from Brownstating that theyr would only run onl afive iiiilc basis wvhile the lateness ofthe conlsuntlicatioll gave hini no times ilwvhicll to replyl.

It weas suggested tlaat the coni- niittee look into the record of past..ears to determine whether it wvas all unusual condition or merely that itwvas the general thing and it happens ;to stand out niore this yecar than in ;others.;

Joseph Levis, captain of the fencingteam introduced Louis Ferre to theCouncil on the subject of eligibility tothe fencing teami. XMr. Ferre while a

graduate student at Technology haspnever attended another institution analhas fenced on the teanm for one yiearonly. According to the rule of theCouncil he is ineligible on account ofhis being a graduate student and theother considerations really play no partin the issue. Although manyr collegesallow graduate students to fence andthe rules of the American Intercolle-giate Fencing Association differ fronitthose of the Amateur Athletic Associa- (,tion in that they allow graduates to 5compete, the Institue has up to the-present timne made it a hard and stead- aiast rule that no graduates nmay enter ccompetition. s

Doctor Rockwell staed that it lvas Iniot a case of individual circumstances tbut rather of a precedent that illust beiadhered to in order to prevent theDwholesale letting down of the bars to.what are now considered ineligible stu-dents. He admitted that fencing al-Ilowed a different consideration than track and its affiiated sports due toIthe rulings of the Fencing Association]and although things did not appear fa- yorab~le he woul driot sav for sure that, lif Mr. Fierre presented full proofs ill writing to the Council at its next inect-ing that other of the principle uiliver-- Tsities allowed graduates to compete, the tprecedent would not lbc broken.

William Johnson Walker, M. D., wasborn in LCharlestown, Massachusetts,March 15, 1789. After completinggrammar school, he entered PhillipsAcademy, Andover, and was graduatedfrom there. He matriculated at Har-vard and was graduated with the de-gree of Bachelor of Arts in 1810. Asa boy he had been keenly interested inthe medical profession, and since thisinterest had grown with him, he tooka post-graduate course at Harvard andwas made a Doctor of Medicine in 1813.Awake to the opportunities which lay inobtaining foreign experience, Dr. Wal-ker event abroad and there spent sev-eral years studying in various foreignhospitals. He then returned to Charles-town; and in the 30 years that followed,his practice grew continuously. Ac-cording to the custom of the time hetrained many young men for their med-ical career.

In 1845. he retired from practice andinvested his savings in the rapidly de-veloping industries, and railroads ofthe country. His good judgment and

COMBINED MUSICAL CLUBSVery important meeting today at 5

in room 10-250. Everyone must bepresent, new constitutional amendmentswill be voted on. Will not interferewith any rehearsals.

Due to the absence of Tech Nightboth classes are making careful andwvell laid plans to make the night be-fore and the day itself one to be re-membered. The frosh "slush" fund, alevy of the sum of 20 cents per man,has been collected and paid into thecoffers of the class, and will be usedfor equipment, mascot, wearing appa-rel, and banner. Due to the fact thatthe frosh are buying or hiring a mascotthe Sophs scoff and claim that a mer-cenarv will be vastly inferior to theirluck bringer. They also boast thatthey will remove the wearing appareland seize the banner as spoil of war.

Mascots and emblems have played aconspicuous part in past Field Days.Last rear's 1926 mascot reputed to beone of the 1910 taxicabs that transport-ed the French army to the first battleof the Marne succumbed to the torchafter a battle roval; and the colors of1927 wvere the center of a drawn en-gagement in which both sides were lib-erally soaked with fire hoses. A woollyram was 1927's mascot last year.

Soph Football FavoritesAccording to plans approved by the

Institute committee, a tea dance wasto have taken the place of Tech Night,but last night no arrangements hadbeen made to engage Walker Memorialfor the dance. Activities other thanthe important athletics have not as yetbeen announced.

Not only are the rank and file of theclasses primed for Friday but the FieldDav teams have reached the peak ofcondition. Soph football is occupyingthe limelight at present. Their inspir-ing victory over the Lynn General Elec-tric School last Saturday has giventhe supporters of 1927 belief that theSophs will beat the frosh even more de-cisivelv that THE TECH defeatedTechnique last year. However, thefreshmen made a greatly improvedshowing against St. James, a teamwhich has lost but a single game inseveral years. The frosh also pointout that the 1927 eleven fumbled oftenand hope to convert 1927 fumbles into1928 touchdowns.

When a member of the Varsity crewexclaims "How those boys can pull!"it gives the impression that the 1928crew possesses the necessary requisitesto make the crew race one of the mosthostly contested events of the after-noon. Every afternoon till well afterdark the rival crews are on the riverbut the cover of darkness preventsscouts of the two boards of strategyfrom getting ideas of the form of theiropponents.

MUSICAL CLUBS SEEKFOUR SPECIALTY ACTS

Novelty Entertainment DesiredTo Help Enliven Program

This year the Combined MusicalClubs will select four specialty actswith which to intersperse their pro-grams of regular numbers by the va-rious clubs, thus producing a little va-riety in the clubs' presentations. Menwho are chosen for these acts will betaken on both the winter and springtrips made by the clubs during theChristmas and spring vacations re-spectively, and will also take part in thefour big local concerts of the year; theFall Concert, the Winter Concert, theIntercollegiate Concert, and the SpringConcert, the latter being a regular fea-ure of Junior Prom Week.

The management of the clubs is try-ing to secure this year one or twospecialty acts of other than a musicalnature. Last year all the specialty actswere musical performances of one sortor another, but it is the general opinionof the clubs that something that is nota musical act would aid in doing awaywith the monotony that is sometimesnoticeable in an all-musical program.In the line of non-musical specialtyacts the clubs would like to secure agood reader, a man with enough theat-rical ability and stage presence to puton a little skit or act at the concertsof the clubs. Two years ago, the clubshad a magician as a specialty actorand they would like to repeat the fea-ture, so that any man adept in the mys-tic art has an opportunity to try outfor the position.

As for the musical specialty acts, theclubs would like to hear from anyfreshmen or upper-classmen who playnative instruments, trick instruments,

or who perform eccentric dances. Ap-pointments for try-outs can be madeby applying to W. P. Lowell Jr. '25 anyafternoon at 5 o'clock in the MusicalClubs office, room 310, Walker.

In 1891 and 1892 he did graduate workat Harvard University. He is the au-thor of 20 books on physics, mathemat-ics, and electricity.

For 15 years Dr. Franklin has inter-ested himself in playground work, hav-ing started the playground movementin Bethlehem in 1909. He has managedto interest engineers in his ideas sothat they have originated and developedmany plans for the furtherance of thissort of endeavor. Particularly has hebeen interested in the improvement ofswimming pools, and he and his engin-eering friends have developed an im-proved type of swimming pool which isclaimed to far surpass all previous at-tempts along this line.

One of the latest things to interestDr. Franklin is the improvement of theCharles River Basin in winter. He hassuggested a plan to the MetropolitanPark Board, but they have taken no ac-tion on it as yet.
