TECHNIC YEAR ENDSNEW STAFF IN CHARGE

The fiscal year of the Rose Technicclosed on Friday, April twenty-fifth,when the 1918-19 staff met and heldthe election of the staff for the com-ing year. It is very fit that we pausehere and reflect upon the men whoare going out in June, who, by un-tiring efforts have kept a high classpaper before the eyes of the studentbody and alumni.The seniors who ran the Technic

during the past few months formedthe backbone of one of the strongestand most effective staffs ever selectedfrom the Rose students. Not onlyhave they kept interesting currentnews before us but they have broughtup vital points in the life of thestudent and endeavored sincerely toaid him in his daily struggle withthem. The policy of the publicationhas been a remarkably frank andfearless one while the confidence whichbusiness men of Terre Haute place init is easily evident in the success ofthe advertising section.The retiring staff earned note by

changing the Technic from a monthlyto a bi-weekly issue. The change hasso far appeared for the better and itis not likely that the monthly formwill ever again be reverted to. TheI ext change for the Technic willle robably be to the weekly publication.Fred M. Crapo ranks among the

loremost of the editors of the Tech-, ic and it will probably be manyyears before another man of equalbility will sit in the chief's chair.hile he was at the helm of the edi-

orial department he demonstrated a•ztrong characteristic of leadershiphile displaying unusual literary tal-

-lit as well. There is but little doubthat every man at Rose realizes the

.ervice rendered by the recent editor-n-chief.Crapo was not long in making theechnic staff, being first elected to As-istant Editor. He was made editor-n-chief in January, 1918, succeeding" ichard Bergmann, '18. His most.uccessful term expired on last Fri-gay when he conducted the last meet-ng of the old staff.Lester Stinson as business managerade a great record for his depart-ent. Stinson combined shrewd busi-ess ability with hard work and gotlig results in the end. His Technicareer began when he was elected tohe office of Assistant Business Man-ger with Crapo, and took charge ofhe business department at the sameime Crapo was made editor-in-chief.Arthur Erwin, alumni editor, made

he alumni notes of great interest toechnic readers and never failed toe ntribute largely to the offerings ofhe paper. He proved a writer of ex-ellent ability and an earnest hardorker. Mrs. Burton deserves men-ion in connection with Erwin for sheas of great aid to him in gatheringhe alumni news.Harry Winton Streeter, for threeears athletic editor, established aecord that ranks with those of theest of his contemporaries. Athleticslways of vital interest to Engineersere given an even more prominentlace in the foreground of theirhought by the pen of Streeter. Un-ortunately, illness and the loss ofcholastic work sustained while heas in the army forced him to retireefore the end of the year.Ivan Mendenhall of Senior localame proved an eleventh hour find. Inis last year at Rose he was electedo the staff and in a short time be-ame one of the most popular contrib-tors. The Technic loses a good manMendenhall.The work of Richard A. Leathers,rt editor, stands with that of thether Senior members. He is a verykilful cartoonist and a high classrtist. and his drawing has according-added greatly to the power of the

echnic. Leathers did not stop with(Continued on Page 2)

A BULL'S EYE FOR THERIFLE CLUB

With the coming of favorableweather the club, which until now hasbeen handicapped by a shortage ofKrag ammunition, will start the quali-fication firing at the Fort Harrisonrange. The club now has the required120 rounds per man and all memberswill have the longed for opportunityto limber up their trigger fingers atUncle Sam's expense. By way of get-ting in trim for the final set-to, prac-tice firing with a Hollifield dotter willstart immediately.The indoor range is practically com-

pleted and firing on one target beganlast Saturday. The Fort Harrisonrange has been put in good conditionand with the indoor and dotter prac-tice there is little doubt that all mem-bers will qualify.The government has provided to

date 4,800 rounds of .30 cal. and 10,-000 rounds of .22 cal. ammunition,four "Krags" and two small borerifles, and a Hollifield dotter, besidesthe necessary range equipment.The red flag is up and the target

set and there is going to be a lot do-ing in the immediate future. At ameeting which Prof. Peddle, President,will call this week, the full old andnew membership will discuss, amongother things, the best methods ofspoiling Uncle Sam's new targets. Along mourner's bench has been pro-vided for those aspiring marksmenwho waited just too long with theprize of five sodas to reserve theirrin v.,-side seats.The fees, 50c entrance and $1.00 per

year—amount to just one-half thoseof other rifle clubs and the surpris-ing thing about it is the fact that al-though the rifle club is the largestand livest organization at school onlyabout five per cent of the studentshave realized what large returns theycan get on a small investment. Sears& Sawbuck wouldn't sell you the kickhi a Krag for a dollar and a half tosay nothing of throwing in a goodtime and a lot of clean sport for achaser.

ROSE ORCHESTRAUnder the able leadership of Prof.

Brace and Art Hill, the school or-chestra is making a steady progressin its work. So far, on account ofthe heavy hour schedule at school,the fellows have been able to prac-tice on Thursday evenings only, butthe faculty has promised to arrangehours so that two more eveningsfrom four till five will be open forpractice. The additional time willnot only help this organization butwill be a big boost for the Glee Clubalso.

SENIOR MEETING

Dr. Mees addressed the membersof the Senior class last Thursdaymorning giving general instructionsregarding their thesis work. Follow-ing, the Seniors held a class meeting.It was decided to conform with thewish of Dr. Mees and leave a classpicture at the Institute. The SeniorPicnic to be given by Gilbert was thendiscussed but no definite plans weremade in regard to it. The decisionupon the suggestion of Gilbert withreference to the foundation of a meansof recognizing the "iron men" of Rosewas held over until last Monday whenthe possibility of an honor point sys-tem was considered. A meeting ofthe class will be held every Mondaymorning from 8-9 during the periodof thesis work.

R. 0. T. C. WORKGROWS INTERESTING

NOVEL PROGRAMS FORPAST TWO SATURDAYS

Interest in military work has takena rise in the last few Saturdays.Capt. Weidlein has put on a programnot only interesting but of importancein the training of our student officers.Saturday before last two interur-

bans , were chartered and the com-panies were taken out to Hulman'sFarm where blue prints of topo-graphical map were given out. Twomaps were giiven each squad—one forrough notes and one for the finishedproduct. Instructions were thengiven that the "Heinies" were en-trenched 200 yards off the easternboundary of the farm and the youngofficers were told to plan a system oftrench for a battalion that would holdthe enemy back where they belonged.While some took the whole morningfor it, studying and arguing overelevations, drainage, field of fire, andvarious strong points, others had theirmap sketched in a few hours and en-joyed the remaining time chasing but-terflies and gathering violets. Thenat 11:30 the specials arrived to takeus back to our dinners. Everybodyenjoyed the morning's work—fromCapt. down to the lowest pvt.—and allreceived practical field instruction.Then, too, the R. 0. T. C. men stepped

out of the customary program ofstudy for candidates for engineeringcorps commissions Saturday morningwhen in--•te9dfield or listening to a lecture they satcomfortably in the Orpheum Theatreand enjoyed the benefit of the movingpictures taken under the supervisionof the general staff at Fort Sill forthe instruction of artillery officercandidates.The mechanism of practically every

gun used to advantage by the alliedforces abroad was shown in a remark-able manner by the pictures as wellas the movement of the batteries inaction and the duties of all men inthe gun crews. The pictures weretaken at the Oklahoma camp whenFrench officers were in charge of theinstruction and the drills were runthrough by veterans from the front.

One Pounder DemonstratedThe demonstration of the famous

one-pounder used so effectively by theFrench forces was perhaps the mostspectacular feature of the production.The one-pounder, which earned itsname by virtue of the weight of itsprojectile, is a very light field gun andvery easily transported. Ordinarilythere is assigned to one gun a squadof eight men and one mule. The muleand the men can bring up the littlegun to the front through almost im-passable obstructions and there workhavoc with hostile fortifications.The gun and cradle can be removed

from the carriage and carried to ad-vantageous emplacements by the menwhen it becomes necessary for theadvance to be cautious and as muchunder cover as possible. The gunweighs 87 pounds and the cradle andtripods 93. Two men usually operatethe piece while the chief of the crewobserves the result of the fire and ad-justs the shots. The essential char-acteristic of the one-pounder is ac-curacy as its area of effectiveness Issmall. The range is usually short,however, and direct hits are the rulerather than the exception of one-pounder shots.

Several Carry AmmunitionSeveral men are needed to carry up

ammunition from the ammunition cartwhich is attached to the gun carriage.One hundred and sixty pounds are car-ried in the cart. The gun became in-valuable because of the fact that inan emergency one man could operatethe piece. The fire of the gun in en-

SENIOR BANQUETThe Senior Banquet was held on the

evening of April 30 at the Hotel Dem-ing. The class turned out almost 100per cent and a most enjoyable timewas had by all. Doctor Mees, Prof.Wagner and Athletic Director Gilbertwere the guests of the class.Following a four-course dinner,

Lester Stinson, president of the classacted as toastmaster and first calledupon Adolph ("Ick") Reinhard whotold of the "Joys of Matrimony."Owen Floyd came next and relatedmany humorous incidents which hadbefallen him since entering Rose. In-cidentally he let it leak out that whendeciding where to go to school he al-most picked' out Normal.When R. A. Leathers was called

upon, to the surprise of all he was no-where to be found. Dick sneaked outjust before his classmates had finishedeating to see if his motorcycle wasstill outside and we suspect that hemet a friend for he disappeared fromthe scene for the balance of the even-ing.Hon„ Aaron W. Richardson came

next and with an eloquent address on"Pipes and Pipind Down," he held theboys spellbound. We will have tohand it to Aaron for he is no meanorator. At the end of Mr. Richard-son's speech, Robin Woodruff sangseveral numbers and needless to saythey were most entertaining. Hal Ty-ler gave his impressions of Rose andspoke highly of the Institute and theClass of '19.Rufus Gilbert as usual had several

surprises and scored big when heannounced his intention of giving apicnic at Fort Park for 01,, pths

The date is to be decided later. Gilexplained that a short time ago, Mr.Milton Herz gave him twenty-five dol-lars to be used in the interest of thestudent body in whatever manner thatGilbert might see fit. This moneyGilbert turned over to the SeniorClass for the inauguration of a meansby which some recognition might begiven those who stand foremost inthe promotion of Rose activities, thedetails to be decided by the class.Gilbert also commended the class forits prominence in Rose activities andathletics and paid a glowing tributeto Owen Floyd and Alvin Barnes. Inthe course of the evening, Gil. alsopresented Stinson with the "soap"whereupon it started its now famouscareer.Professor Wagner gave a most in-

teresting talk in which he pointed outthe value of co-operation both inschool and out and expressed his ap-preciation of the manner in which theSeniors had worked with the facultyduring their time at Rose. Dr. Meesfollowed and extended the good willof the faculty to the class and thenpointed out in a most interestingmanner some of the problems whichwill be confronted by the men uponlaunching into the various fields ofengineering and business. DoctorMees also expressed a desire that theold-time custom of the graduatingclasses of leaving a class picture atthe Institute be revived.The evening was ended with a short

talk by each of the seniors and it wouldhave been an excellent thing had thelower classmen been able to hear theexpression of these men on their ap-preciation of the Institute and whatRose had grown to mean to them.

ATTENTION '21This is for the eyes of Sophs only:

A bunch of you fellows have begun tofeel sadly the lack of some class activ-ity. Now some are proposing a dance,others a boat-ride, and others stillother known or unknown forms ofamusement. Make up your mind whatyou want, talk it up among the fel-lows and then let's put it across big.Let's keep old '21 spirit going alongwith our Rose pep.

SENIORS BEHINDTHE GUNS

CUSTOMARY SHOOT WASREMINDER OF OLD DAYS

All Seniors are great men, weknow, but the present Seniors of OldRose Poly raised themselves abovethe level of ordinary fourth yearmen and imprinted themselves in-delibly upon the memory of worship-ful under-classmen when one weekago last Friday they performed afeat, signal in Rose history, namely:The Shooting up of the School.Many were the vague rumors whis-

pered about the Hall, Thursday, and asdifferent in context were they as inorigin. There were sad head-shakesfrom under-classmen and expressionssuch as "I've read of such things, butthey were done in the good old days.I guess '17 was the last class."Through it all members of the Con-clave of Nineteen-Nineteen, stalked,unmindful, unheeding, deliberately toclasses as if the morrow was not adate set by an Engineer of old, foreternal distinction.So the rumors floated on thru the

evening and the night and thru thedreams of all but one class of the RosePolytechnic Institute. That class,perhaps, smiled, a little amused as itfolded the draperies of its cot aboutit after sundown and took a last lookto see that a certain treasure wouldrest safe 'till the trv-rn.Then Friday. The eight o'clock

class was brought to order by severalprofessors, on time, but late as usual.To an even close alien observer, therewas nothing that could have been seenin the pre-eight o'clock period thatwould have led to the suspicion thatthings were not, on that Friday morn-ing, as they usually were, but to thekeenly alert Junior, Soph, or Frosh,brought to the above unnatural con-dition by the hope that springs eternalin his youthful breast, there appearedmore than one happening that seemedto hold a hidden meaning.

It may have been that the big gunswere not made to be carried in hip-pockets or that even Seniors cannotlong hold a secret, or that the reasonfor the summons to the Senior Presi-dent from the Doctor was too easilyevident to the watchful horde that allof Rose (excepting possibly a 'Fessoror two), knew by 8:10 a. m. that theschool was as good as shot.They talked fondly of Seniors then.

What a blessing they had alwaysproven and what wisdom, what fore-sight they displayed. How much bet-ter it was to find suddenly that inless than one hour a wild, fierce bandwould drive all students from theprotecting walls of the Institute andinto the cold uninviting street, to themusic of whistling bullets and roar-ing cannon, after it had been nearlyfinally decided that in all Americathere existed not the material forsuch an outlaw band. The flockwent quietly to nine o'clock classesand settled down to listen indulgentlyto a lecture that might have lasted athousand years and indeed appalledmany professors of wisdom with theirundivided attention.Then at 9:09 the shot that made his-

tory sounded. There were others thatfollowed closely, but there is littlelikelihood that any of the once watch-ful waiters heard them, for the noiseof that first report had not forcedsound waves far beyond the ears ofstudents when the doors and windowsof the Main Building and chem labbegan to rain young Engineers. It isreally astounding that the studioustechnical men needed so little urgingto leave their favorite haunts. Ap-parently they hold firearms greatly inawe for the flight from the mauraud-ing Seniors was as voluntary and com-

EDITORIALIt is the duty of every Rose man

to exercise his best ability in the suc-cessful promotion of the resolutionsrecently made by vote of the studentbody. There is no doubt that muchgood may be derived from them, bothfor the Institute and the individual ifan earnest effort is made on the partof the individual to enforce them. Anysuch voluntary action by the studentbody is highly commendable and muchcredit and thanks are due "Dad" El-liott for the forceful manner in whichhe brought Rose to the realization ofthe lack of the necessity of these evils.The resolutions discussed and

passed are as follows:Resolved, That "shimmying" or any

form of suggestive dancing be pro-hibited at Rose dances.That a strenuous effort be made by

all to eliminate the use of obscenelanguage.That the use of tobacco on or in

the vicinity of the campus be entirelyeliminated.That cribbing at Rose be considered

entirely out of order and purely anact of dishonesty.That an earnest effort be made to

keep school politics clean.

It was noticed during "Dad" El-liott's meetings that there were a fewgroups of students who held almostcontinual conversation among them-selves. This is a trait which hascharacterized some Rose students forseveral years. No matter how import-ant or impressive the occasion, thereis always someone who must makeremarks to his neighbor concerningsome trivial affair.This should be eliminated from Rose

as speedily as possible. Not only is itvery impolite to the speaker, but italso annoys other students, and fixesthe habit of inattention upon thestudent who does it. Let us all tryto suppress this feature, and showour visitors that Rose men can begentlemen as well as engineers.

TECHNIC YEAR ENDS(Continued from Page 1)

the brush work however, but contrib-uted several articles which were fea-tured by the Editorial Board in theirrespective issues.George M. Owens, circulation man-

ager, admirably maintained thestanding set by his predecessors.Owens' ability to get things done wasreadily apparent by his Technic workand won a name for him.The above paragraphs show clearly

what the Technic staff loses and con-sequently it can hardly be expectedthat the new staff created by the re-cent election will be as strong as theold. However, none but sincere menhave been picked and hard work anddevotion to duty are expected to main-tain the Technic's place.When Streeter was forced to resign

as Athletic Editor, Robert Walker, '21,was elected to succeed him and onlast Friday he made the jump toEditor. Walker's experience is limit-ed and time only will tell whether ornot the choice of the former staff wasa wise one.Edward Ronald, '21, was chosen

Assistant Editor and with two years'experience should be able to handlethe job with ease.Sewell, '21, succeeds Erwin as

Alumni Editor. Little is known ofSewell but coaching from the veteranis expected to make of him a highclass college journalist.

Anstead, '22, the choice as AthleticEditor, will undoubtedly be strongIn that department, for he has hadconsiderable experience in sport writ-ing for local newspapers.Froeb, '20, succeeding Manson, will

care for the fun.The Senior, Junior, and Sophomore

locals will be handled respectively byZimmerman, '20, Clark, '21, Smith, '22.Zimmermann and Clark have hadprevious Technic experience butSmith is a new-comer.George Brown, '20, and Ronald

Manson, '20, as Business Manager andAssistant respectively will probablyhave little trouble in their depart-ments. Both are former members ofthe staff.Arthur Rosenbaum, '21, as Adver-

tising Manager and Kenneth Huston,'20, and Henry Offutt, '22, as assist-ants should forni a very effective ad-vertising corps.Osmer, '20, is the circulation man-,

ager and is considered a valuable ad-dition to the staff.Several men who were defeated in

the election for positions were recom-mended by the Senior group as goodmaterial and will probably get earlytry-outs. Among those recommendedwere Bierbaum, '20; Bryan, '20; Arm-strong, '21; Steffen, '21; Wolfe, '22,and Dunlap, '22.

SENIORS BEHIND THE GUNS(Continued from page 1)

plete as that of the Boche before theDevil-Dog.For the most part the revered profs

were pitifully helpless, but there wereexceptions of course. Our own Fr-'Fessor Faurot made a gallant standand for a few minutes had the fresh-men cowed, but an open window andtwo well-placed shots proved his un-doing. The lesser Doc managed tokeep nearly half his herd on the pas-ture until 9:30 and then seeing condi-tions growing worse and worse he gaveup the ship. "Jackie" held the onlyfort that did not fall. A steady bom-bardment was kept up against theMashun Dezun stronghold but notuntil the expiration of their sentenceswere the prisoners, therein, released.Be it good or bad "Jackie" as well asthe Seniors made a reputation uponthat memorable Friday.We believe the Over-Lords de-

serve all the praise they received forthe admirable manner in which theycleared the school that morning anddouble-honor is due them because inso doing they revived a custom thathad lain dormant for twenty-fourmonths.The 1918 class graduated in Janu-

ary, fifteen months ago, and took noday for fireworks. Although they areexhonerated—for they thought everof our country—the lull caused bythem gives greater glory to 1919, whoafter twenty-four months of peace,marched thru faculty oppositionand attained a victorious objective.

COLLEGE SUNDAYNEW SILK SHIRTS

$3.95 and $5.95MANY ROSE MEN IN THE

CONGREGATIONS

By request of the Y. M. C. A. bodiesat Rose and at Normal, April 27 wasset aside by the churches of the cityas college Sunday. Mr. Thompson andthe officers of the Y. M. C. A. are tobe congratulated on this work. Stu-dents who had not been to church inyears and some who had never beenwent that Sunday. The sermons wereall of a nature that interested collegemen and the ministers tried especial-ly to appeal to the students present.In many cases Rose and Normal menmade up the choirs or part of themand acquitted themselves remarkablywell. Such an event reflects creditupon the Y. M. C. A. and upon themen who turned out in such largenumbers and it would be well re-peated.

A.T.O. SMOKER TONIGHTLet everybody be at the A. T. 0.

Smoker tonight at the A. T. 0. houseat 808 Chestnut Street, and have an-other real party as we did that nightit rained so hard over in Sigma Nuterritory.There is nothing like one of these

smokers to stir up the old pep andmake the team win hard games forseveral weeks after. We're followingthe suggestions of our alumni andtrying to put those tendencies toclique to the background, which iswhy every man should get out to theschool smokers. We will admit thatwhen the Sigs threw the first smokerof the year for the school the weatherwas about as miserable as it couldbe but over fifty fellows got thereanyway proving that their schoolspirit was all that it should be. Youshould have been one of the numberthat were there and if not it is up toyou to get into the gang tonight be-fore they get too far ahead of you.A smoker is a very enjoyable form

of student amusement and collegemen generally have real times atthese gatherings. It is needless tosay the committee in charge of theaffair tonight has fixed everything upfor a ripping party to begin at 7:30and the only thing left to do is forthe fellows to turn out.

If we beat Normal this afternoonwe can talk it over tonight but ifthey win we can plan their downfallin the next battle, so be in on the de-bate.

filading a trench proved to be deadlywhile the projectiles easily pierced theheavy metal shields used to cover ma-chine guns.The famous stone "pill boxes" used

by the Germans were in many casesput out of action by the one-pounders.They were very effective in closing uploop-holes in enemy trenches wherethe larger guns could not score directhits. The rapidity of their fire, whichis 20 to 21 shots a minute and theease of their transportation and op-eration gave the one-pound guns a highplace in the artillery of the great war.

Larger Guns ShownThe operation, mechanism and du-

ties of the crews of larger guns andof the Vickers machine gun was alsoshown in the pictures. A generalknowledge of artillery activity whichis very essential to the engineeringofficer was well conveyed to the Rosestudent officers by the movie.

BOOST THE LOANThe Victory Loan, the fifth and last

loan resulting from the war is nowbeing asked by the Government andevery man at Rose who can possiblydo so should kick in for a bond. Byso doing he will not only be doing agood service to his country but mak-ing a very profitable investment aswell. The Victory Bonds pay 4%%,more than any of the other four prev-ious bonds to which Rose men freelysubscribed. The usual embarrassingfinancial condition of the student isconceded but get behind the Loanif you can, fellows, for we owe it tothe men who died and were maimedover there.

ROSE BOWSTO MILLIKIN

SUCKER TEAM PROVESSTRONG

Milliken's pinch hitting ability, CapRolshausen's wildness and numerousPoly boots sufficed to give the visi-tors eight runs in the nine innings ofTuesday's game while Rose was help-less before Bennett, the opposingtwirler after the first inning whentwo markers were pushed over.A drizzling rain that made the dia-

mond slow and muddy was responsi-ble for several errors on the part ofboth teams. Our Engineers appearedto take more delight in bobbling than

did the Illinois tossers, however, and

consequently the score suffered. Mil-liken, too, is not usually represented

by as strong an aggregation as thatwhich took the field against us. Ben-nett and Ping formed a most formid-

able battery and the first was theonly inning that they let our batterscompletely gain the upper hand. Ourheavy hitting which was so evidentagainst Indiana and Purdue did notcome out in the rain and we were ableto gather but six bingles off the hos-tile slabbist. At that we outhit Milli-ken six to five and kept up our stringof hitting victories at least.Rolshausen pitched good ball, but

unluckily the Milliken hits weretimely and long. The miserableweather was probably the cause of'High-pockets" wildness.In spite of the apparent strength

of the visiting team Rose got off to agood start, scoring two runs in thefirst inning. Brophy reached first onMcWhiter's error and went to secondon A. Reinhard's single. Both run-ners advanced when "Young Ick"Reinhard sacrificed. Ping passed thenext ball, which boot let Brophy infrom third. Pence's single scored A.Reinhard.

Milliken did not get a hit until thefifth inning although they scored onerun in the second on an error byMeadows, a stolen base and two sac-rifice flies. In the fifth round theywrested the lead from our hard-fight-ing warriors, thanks to a certain Mr.Ping and another well-known gentle-man, Mr. Reinking.There were two down in the fatal

frame when Bennett worked Rol-shausen for a pass. Barcroft beat outan infield hit, and McWhiter dupli-cated Bennett's trick. Mr. Ping up.Ping did nothing but ping the firstball over and it started in the direc-tion of Mr. Reinking, who seemedstrangely dazed but got the ball be-fore it rolled to the fence and threwit to A. Reinhard in time to hold theHon. Ping at second. Incidentallythree runners crossed.We made the Milliken birds sweat

in several innings thereafter but couldnot get a man clear around. Rustonand "Young Ick" busted dandy dou-bles with no one on much to "Lefty's"disgust, and in the ninth Bennettwalked two with one out, but turnediron man immediately after.

Barcroft doubled in the seventh andscored when "Freddy" Pence let Ping'sgrounder roll between his legs. Woeto Ping!The ninth was another bad inning.

Long (colored) was walked. Ping,Per usual, reached first on an error.Young scored both Long and Pingwith a two-bagger and raced homehimself on Gill's single.Raymond carried the soap for three

days. Box score:ROSE POLY

PURDUE WINS 15-10ROSE LOSES RAGGED

GAMEThe Rose-Purdue game played at

Lafayette was a poor exhibition ofbaseball. A total of twenty-six hitswere registered off the respectivepitchers while the fielders contributedseventeen errors. Rose made nine ofthe bobbles but had the better of thehitting 14-12.Purdue jumped into a big lead early

in the game by opportune hitting andby taking advantage of Poly errors.In the fourth the score stood 11-1against us and when we came to batin the ninth Purdue had maintainedher 10 run lead, the count standing15-5. Heavy hitting brought in fiveruns for us in the last frame and hadthe opposition badly worried, untilthe last Rose batter went out.

WABASH CANCELSWEATHER MAN THE

CAUSEWet grounds at Crawfordsville

forced the Little Giants to cancel theirgame with us scheduled for last Sat-urday. The first time we will meetthe crimson will probably be whenthe home game is played. Wabash isreported strong this year but theirdefeat at the hands of the Boiler-makers 8-0, proved that they are byno means out of our class. They boastof a classy hurler but when we showthem Rolshausen they are likely tolose some of that old Wabash confi-dence.

FIRST NORMAL GAMEThe first game with Indiana State

Normal for the city championship willbe played today at 4:30 on Rose Field.Normal has a strong team and thegame promises to be a close one. Theonly team that both Rose and Normalhave played is E. I. S. N. Rose wonby a 6 to 1 score while Normaldowned the Illinois men 18 to 1. Fromthis it would appear that Normal hasa slight advantage but with Rolshaus-en in form we should have no troublein trouncing the Teachers.Remember, fellows, we have a bas-

ketball score to settle so be on handWednesday and root for the team.

INTER-FRATERNITYMEET NEXT SATURDAYThe annual Inter-fraternity track

and field meet will be held Saturdayat Rose campus, with Sigma Nu, Al-pha Tau, Omega, P. I. E. S., ThetaXi, Alpha Chi Sigma, and the Bar-barians competing.Last year the track trophy was

won by a small margin by A. T. 0.So far this year only a few thin-clads have appeared on the cinderpath, which goes to show that therehas been a general let-up in thisbranch of sport. There are severalmen in Rose who should be strongon the track, as they have made out-standing records in high school, andshould be able to go well in college.Coach Gilbert has several meets

for Rose if she can get men enoughto make a showing. Crapo, H. L. Wil-son, Wiedemann and Wolff have beenworking hard and if other men re-port the Rose and White will be rep-resented on the track.

DIFFERENTIALSSOME SENSE OF HUMOR

A soldier was being flogged andduring the whole time of the punish-ment laughed uproariously. At theend the officer asked him the causeof his mirth.He broke out in a fresh fit of

laughter and said: "Why, I'm thewrong man."

SOUNDS LIKE MANSONWhen rain falls, does it ever rise

again?" asked the professor."Yes, sir.""Why, in dew time—"

Jake: "Well, boys, I stepped outlast night."Briggs: "Oh! Is that the reason

you got the hair cut?"Woodling: "Hair cut your left ear,

he just washed his neck."After all we'll have to admit 'that

"Fessor" hath a way about him weall admire.

BEFORELike all the other good fellows,We drink our whisky clear,Were a rambling wreck from old Rose

Tech,And a hell of an Engineer.

AFTERLike all the Normal fellowsWe drink our coffee black,Yes, and if you cuss us right and leftSoap! Soap! if we cuss you back.

You know the tune.'Twas a windy day and "Sketia"

Maxwell walked up to the open fene-tre to talk to Johonnott.Excited Voice: "Hold him, Doctor,

or he'll blow out of the window."

1922 NEWS"Bird-Legs" Geckler, ex-S. A. T. C.

devil-dog, visited friends in Brazil lastSaturday. After seeing Theda Barain "Expurgated Love" which boastedof a phenomenal two-day run at theBrazil Grotto, he returned home thatnight.John Burns attended school Friday.Eubert Taggart's mother visited

him a few days last week.

STAR TWINKL1NGS"Young Ick" Reinhard's double in

the Milliken game was down the firstbase line and would probably havebeen good for a home run had theball not hit the bleachers.Ruston's double was also a mean

blow but like the younger Reinhard'scame when the bases were empty.

Bill Meadows pulled two bobbles inthe Milliken defeat but if you will lookat the box score you can possibly ex-cuse our star third-sacker for he hadeleven chances at the far corner. Theball is hard to get in that territoryand harder to peg to first so don'tcrab about Bill's slips.

We'll have to hand it to Ping, theMilliken catcher, for he certainly livesup to his name. The way he smackedthe ball in the fifth inning with thebases stuffed was heartbreaking tosee.But Rolsie had the opposing batters

guessing and sometimes fanning theirarms off.Anstead and Biller, our own little

pinch hitters who performed in theninth inning of the Milliken duelconnected well but unluckily a Milli-ken player robbed each of a hit.Somebody said to watch Kerr of Nor-

mal in this afternoon's game. Whywatch Kerr? Watch the ball whenthe Engineers hit it so we won't loseso many on thirteenth street oppositethe Chem Lab.Anyhow Freddy can hit.Remember how many "32 to 17's"

there are painted on the walks andthe fence.Watch Jake in the Normal game.

The midget says he is due.
