t Hungarian composer of a number ofsuccessful operettas. And about thenusic one will have no complaints

whatever. Particularly pleasing is'My Rosemarie," sung by Mr. Woolfind Miss Breen, and "Look Into My

E7yes," a charming song by Miss Taizind Mr. W'oolf. Into all the songs is

Injected a Continental rhythm andiarmony which most of the audiencefinds very pleasing, and a certainamount of American jazz for the Test.

The daughter of a compliant Amer-[can millionaire attempts to capture'he heart of the good-looking princewhom she meets in Budapest. But it

happens that the prince is not dis-)osed to meet American girls, in factae hates them and their ideas. Thus~here is plenty of opportunity, amus-ing situations and good singing and:tcting, with the girl in the role ofpursuer, contrary to most operettas.

But as a comedy, the piece falls farshort. Nor is this the f ault of thecomedians. The lines given them arecompletely devoid of any real humorDr subtlety. Flat puns and wheezestake the place of the sparkling jestswhich could so well contrast the ser-iousness of the lovers.

However, Mr. Woolf, Miss Taiz andMiss Breell form a trio which bringsup the standard. The well-trainedchorus is excellent in its inlterpreta-tion of the music, and beautiful as

Mwell. The varied costumes give anold World glamour to the'play, wvhicllon the whole,' is a worth-while en-deavor.

"WOOF WOOF,"-THE MAJESTIC

One of the newest musical comediesopened this week at the Majestic in"W5oof Woof" which as its title owesnot a little of its novelty to the do.-s

w,,hich are a part of its numerous andaccomplished cast.

A splendid chorus, eff ective sets,and some really novel and highlyentertaining specialties are featuresof this production of which WilliamDamarest and Bernard Lohmuller arethe guiding genii.

Of the cast Louise Brown as Susieand Olive Faye as Choosy were per-haps the most outstanding, althoughthe latter was not given much oppor'-tunity to exhibit her charms until themiddle of the second act. Al Sextonas Monty has a voice that we shouldreally like to hear again.

A little slow at times, the bookmakes Susie give her true love Montythe "go-by-' so many times that, de-spite her frequent declarations of herIaffection for him the effect is a bitweak.

Withs every member of the cast adancer the show makes its greatestappeal to the dance lover. Susie hasa splendid opportunity to show her ac-complishments as a dancer towardsthe end of the second act in the Bal-let of Dreams in which even Debussylends his artistry to Leonide Massine|in a supremely entertaining number.The costumes by Mabel Johnson wereCharacterized by their softness ofcolor and excellent blendintg,; the setsby Clark Robinson contributed muchto the success of the show.

In the story the dogs at first ap-pealed as a decided handicap to Susiewsho had lost her job but turned outto be a real gold mine when afternumerous misadventures one of themwon a whippet race. The actual stag-ing of the whippet race. was one ofthe novelties of the production andwas, in spite of the natural obstacles,quite well done

LOEW'S STATE

Playing at the State this week in"The Kiss," Greta Garbo fails to bringthe audience to-its 'usual appreciativeenthusiasm over her work. However,the excuse may reasonably be offeredthat the vehicle is inferior.

The story of the picture is that of awoman married to a man whom shedoes not love, and her search for free-dom. Overemotionalism and trans-parency tend to spoil the plot althoughsurprising developments keep up theinterest. Conrad Nagel does well asthe leading man.

Other than the feature picture, thereis a Hal Roach comedy with CharleyChase, which almost outdoes the mainpicture, and a stage show. "The ManAbout Town," one of the skits of theprogram is very good and a troupeof Japanese'acrobats, lend variety tothe program.

Airplane equipment valued at $10,000has been donated to the University ofPittsburgh by the War Departmentfor teaching and research work. TheWar Department furnishes all univ-ersities with equipment to be usedand st udied and also a complete listof obsolete parts on request. Thisequipment is not to be used for flying.

FAIRER ALLOCATION 0t

IF the unfortunate features of IL-he last Field Day recur next w-fall, there will be no official blame laid to the negligence of ic

the Athletic Association. If the recommendation adopted at imthe meeting yesterday is approved by their Advisory Council,u

- an adequately regulated Glove Fight will count one point tGo- cwards the score in the annual freshman-Sophomore fracas.

- ~~In making any rules for governing this free-for-all the Ath- o-- letic Association had a big problem. No other event in Field o

Day is quite so impossible of regulation. The captured gloves d

which form the basis for the scoring are always delivered inmangled pieces. It is almost impossible to preclude "ringers" di

!from participation, if the members of the class are unsports-manlike enough to permit them. A class might legally be con- lsidered winner under the present rules by the simple expedient

-of not accepting any gloves. Then there is always the questionof whether the fighting, is "fair." V

Anticipating practically all these troubles, the rules as set-forth in the recommendation to the Advisory Council should

insure an interesting, fair battle. The "human equation" ofcourse enters in, and the success of the event depends on the '

- classes' maintaining a spirit of fair play throughout, and on thetgood judgment of the marshals. C

- ~~According to the recommendation, the points as adopted byIthe Institute Committee a year ago are to be used. Thus thetfootball game will count four points, relay and crew threeteach, tug-of-war two, and the glove fight one. While it is pos-sible to conceive of a tie in either the football game or the tug-of-war, or both, it was assumed that the possibility of a tie in,the other events was extremely remote. If this very logicalassumption is accepted, it is easily seen that there is no danger

awhatever of a tie between the classes on that day. Under thesystem as used this year, a tie in both the football game and|the tug-of-war might easily mean a tie in the day's score.

Since the essential features of this new set of rules express- so unanimously the general student opinion at Technology, we- sincerely hope that the Advisory Council will approve them at

its next meeting. Insofar as that is possible, the Athletic Asso-ciation's rules make provision for any exigency which mightarise. They have the approval of the student body not only as|expressed by its Institute Committee but also as indicated by

i the general dissension over the results of the Field Day thisfall. If these rules are not accepted by the Advisory Council, itseems that it is their duty to provide something better.

QUICK ACTIONTHERE has been ready response to the plea in the November

T 22nd issue of THE TECH that Walker Memorial be openedon Sunday evening. According to Robert P. Cromwell '30, Chair-

- man of the Walker Memorial Committee, arrangements havebeen made providing that the lounges be open every Sundayevening hencef orth.

This action has been taken in answer to a definite need asexpressed by the dormitory men. On the one evening of the

- week when their studies and activities allowed them some rest- and relaxation, the only place where they could go was closed,

a circumstance which hardly seemed to carry out the purposeof Walker as a student club-house.

Ever ready to ac cede to reasonable demands from the stu-dents, the undergraduate committee in charge of Walker hasmet this objection. If there was a real need behind the de-'mands of the students, they may best show their appreciationby further using the facilities which are afforded them.

- ~Those echo are unfortunate enough to have to remain atTechnology will welcome a further announcement of theWalker Committee. The building will be open all day andevening on Thurlsday, November 28th. There one may findcomfortable places ill which to recover from the effects of theThanksgiving meal, and there one may listen to the best in

- music, or en joy curlrent periodicals or the recent books.On behalf of the Institute as a whole, wve wish to thank the

Wtalker Committee for their speedy action. It shows that theyare anxious for constructive criticism, and are attempting to

Three women students are enrolledin the School of Engineering at Wash-ingtOn University.

VARSITY SQUAD IS GOOD

As a reward for winning the heavyeight-oared class race on ColumbusDay, the members of the crew thatrepresented the Technology Varsitywere presented with individual troph-is. These cups were donated by ths_New England Rowing Asociation,which sponsored the regatta. In thisrace the Varsity defeated the UnionBoat Club crew in that class and theTechnology JayVees.

Dunlap was coxswain on the win-ning crew, in place of W~hitaker, whois pictured in this issue.

Many at PractiseActivity at the Boathlouse has been

increasing during the past two weeks.especially among the Varsity oarsmenwho have been compelled to wvork outin relays. due to the large numberswho report daily. The members of theVarsity squad work out on Molldays,Wednesdays, and Fridays at 5 o'clock,followed by the light Varsity at 5.30.The freshman crews wnork out on theremaining three days of the week.

Good Varsity MaterialTlle Varsity squad this year econ-

tains excellent material, both with re-spect to rowing ability and to wveighlt.

With two weeks of the Doi mitoryBasketball season played off there ex-ists a triple tie for the league leader-ship, Ware and Niclols, of the oldDorms, having two victories apiece.while E and F. foremost of the NewDorms Teams, have one victory.Seven games have been played, andlwhile as yet, tne true calibre of theteams cannot be estimated, the pres-ent leaders seem to be the true classof the League.

The success of the Ware team, cel-lar champions of last year, has beenthe outstanding feature of the sea-son so far, while Runkle and 01-D.among the leaders last year, have fal-len down dismally il this season'sfirst starts.

WViliam T. Moody '31 of Atkinson, isthe high scorer, so far this year, hiav-ing 19 points as compared with 17for Alfred Gutieriez '30 of Ware, and16 apiece for Adam Sysko '33 of Nich-ols, and Sprager of Ware.

HOCKEY TEAM HOLDSPRACTISE AT ARENA

Coach Stewart is Pleased atProspects for Season

(Continued from page 1)attention on shooting in order to giveCoach Bill Stewart an idea as to thecondition of the squad. There wasalso a light scrimmage between lastyear's Varsity and a group selectedfrom the likely candidates.

Freshmen Meet LaterOnly the Varsity material has been

called with the intention' of givingthem three weeks of work-outs be.-fore the freshmen don their skiates.The varsity will be tested on Decem-ber 13, when they meet B. U. onl theArena rink at 8 o'clock. A game withNortheastern is being arranged, totake place before or during the Christ-mas holidays. The game with Har-vard formerly scheduled for December12, has been changed to January 6 inorder to allow more time for practise.

Games at ArenaFive or six games have been sched-

uiled for the Arena this year and alar-ge crowd is expected at each gameto prove that such a rink is warrantedand to build up the sport for futureyears. In view of the fact that hockeyis one of the most interesting gamesto watch and without doubt the fast-est, popularity of the game is stead-ily increasing and wvill soon rank high-est of the present favorite wintersports.

Race For Goal PositionThe position of goalie promises to

bie the most strongly contested posi-tion, w ith Reilly, Coleman, Hanlson,and Wiston all intent on securing it.Other candidates are equally keen tooccupy a place on -the team and thestarting of regular practise will de-velop a highly effhciellt and smoothlyworking mac~hinle. Last year fourIgames out of the seven played were

woRD. Six men from last year's Varsityand four from the freshmen teamturned out at the first practise.

Practise Hours|All practising will be done at the|

Boston Arena either in the morning|between 7 and 8 o'clock or in the|evening between 5: 30 and 7: 30. Pos-Isibly one may be held this Sunday be-|tween 12 and 1 o'clock.|

There is a good opening for 3 or|4 freshmen in manalgerial positions|and anyone interested is asked to seeIor leave their nanle for Manager Paul|A. Davis at the Al. I. T. A. A. office|as sooI1 as possible |

Curvature of Earth May ResultFrom Data Determined

By Photography

Several iniportant, discoveries areexpected to result from the latest featof long distance photography. An-nounlcemient has just been madle of

the sucecess niet with by two army aircor'ps flyers in taking an aerial photo-g-raph of Aloult, Rainier from a dis-tance of 227 miles, which is fifty milesin excess of the previous record.

The mountains clearly shown in thepicture are far beyond the greatestdistance the eye can see. Even onclear days It is impossible to see far-ther than 27 miles because of haze,and it was necessary to use a specialtype of film sensitive to infrared rays,vhich have the property of being able

to penetrate sinoke and haze. Becausethe photog~raphier could not see his ob-jective, he wvas obliged to simply pointhis camlera In the direction of .11ount,Rainier and then await the dev-elop-ment of the film before he could de-termine wxhether the picture wlas asuccess. The picture was taken fromall altitude Af 17X,000 feet.
