T h e i r in te res t in the school was a roused by the p resence of Professor Grosvener in th e i r oflice as Consulting E ngineer . W ith war t im e enrollm ents , some of the eng ineering professors have been len t to indut>try and Mr. Grosvener was thus employed.

Par t ly througii th e i r interest in P rofessor Grosvener a n d his p a r t in the advancem en t of tecluiical educa ­tion, a n d pa r tly th ro u g h a desire to share in som e way, th e i r deep ap ­p recia t ion for the founde r of the com­pany, George K.

A n o th e r scholarship aw ard has been ex tended to Drexei by the B urden M ilk Com pany . T his scholarship is $300 to be given to the H o m e Eco­nom ics Sen ior for a p e r io d of S years to ta ling to $1500.

F ra tern i ty rushing came to an end on Monday, the 29th of January. The results of the rushing period were m ore than satisfactory to bo th the m em bers and pledges.

L am bda Chi Alpha topped all o ther fraternities in the n um ber of p ledged men. The Lambda Chi’s pledged e leven men which brought the ir total n u m b er of pledges up to an even dozen. Those pledged are Charles Zerbe, Joseph Van Name, Dick Booth, Bob Heffner, B ernard Kriedle , Ernie Mamarella , Jack Kapell , A rt Kees, T om Lyons, Boris Kudravitz and E u ­gene Dotts.

T heta Chi ran a close second to L am bda Chi with ten m en newly p ledged. The Theta Chi’s-to-be are Les Grand, George Doerfler, E d K en ­yon, Bill Boakes, Carl Olson, Nick R eiter , Jack Coneys, N orm Jarrett , Pau l Fisher, and Dick Jones.

K appa Phi Delta also p ledged ten men, a greater n u m b er than that of any recent pledging season for the K appa P h i ’s. T he ten m en are Stan­ford Blum, R obe r t Broselon, Stanley Broselon, Melvin Claver, Seymour Gerstein, Jack Prosen, Dan Rosen- burg, Mayer Schwabb, Ju l ian Silver­man, and H erm an Simon.

T he local fra ternity on the campus, A lpha P i Lam bda, pledged th ree m en whose names are R ichard Morrow, Bill Davis, and James Moon.

This pledging season has been watched by all concerned for it is im portan t in Drexel’s postwar period, par ticular ly so since the war veterans have wholeheartedly accepted frater­n ities as p a r t of the i r college life.

Rouge and Robe, th rough the ef­forts of its director, Dick Booth, and several mtMiibers of the property com ­mittee, has had the good fortune of securing the use of fu rn i tu re supplied from the stock of Ginihcl Brothers D epartm ent Store.

Mr. Ellis Ginibel has consented to loaning the furni ture to the organiza­t ion for use in its for thcoming play “ Boy Meets Girl” which will be p re ­sented in our aud ito r ium on March 9th and 10th. Plans for moving the fu rn i tu re from tlie store to the stage are underway and in several days th e cast will rehearse with fu rn i tu re and p rops and begin putting polish on a p roduction that promises to equal, if not surpass, any production in the history of the organization.

Diek Uooth To Stage HoUytrond

Bella and Samuel Spewack, rep o r t ­ers of drama, know Hollywood and how it functions and so have written a play about the p roducers and play­wrights who are ever struggling with tlie universal theme of “ Boy Meets Girl.”

From Lansdowne H igh School comes our female lead—Doris Ann Dodd who plays the par t of “Susie.” Central High and Camden High have given us J im Byrne and R ichard Lit t leton respectively to play the male leads. F rom Norristown High comes R onald Cannell ; Stanley T inney from Haverford H igh ; Bill Boaks from W oodbury High, and Ellis Goldstein from Overbrook High.

Boris Kudravetz, N orm an Blesh- nian, and Vincent Ciardo, all Alpha Psi Omega members, have worked out Drexel’s stage-lighting equ ipm en t and have submitted a written report .

Pau l Heller has designed all of the sets for the p roduction “ Boy Meets G irl” while Van Name has worked out the l ighting diagrams.

O ur most capable director, R ichard Booth, is a product of Sharon H il l H igh School’s well-known dramatis t, Mr. Fritz Fernsler.

The dates of the play are March 9th and 10th. Curtain goes up on Friday niglit at e ight; Saturday at eight-thirty. The admission is $.75 in ­cluding federal tax.

So that Drexei graduates of the fu­tu re will be be tte r p rep ared to meet

actual conditions with the newest and

most complete concepts, a comm it­

tee, headed by Professor Lange, has

prepared fundam ental changes in the

engineering curricula. These changes

which will affect only the students

who have started their freshm an year

since the beginning of last Septem­

be r or later and they involve actual

changes p r im ari ly in courses taken by

electrical engineers .

U nder the new plan , fewer credits

are needed to obtain a degree in engi ­

neering. Th is reduction is caused by

a reshuilling of credits in Physics

courses and courses in D.C. m achin ­

ery. T he Physics Departm ent will

give the ir customary courses in

mechanics, heat , light, and sound, but

the course in electr icity and magnet ­

ism has been enlarged so that the

electrical engineering school need not

spend t ime on fundamentals in direct

current circuit work. T hus the EE 1

course will deal only with D.C. gen­

erators and motors exclusively.

A nother im por tan t change for all

engineering students is the re tu rn of

the study of Physics to the sophom ore

year instead of giving freshm en Pkys.

21 in the ir th i rd term.

Drexei is now receiving e lectronic

equ ipm en t ( the commercial value of

all such equ ipm en t on b an d a n d to

be received is approxim ately $10,000)

Last Saturday night the Crystal Ballntom »if the Ben Franklin Hotel beranie tlie scene of ano ther I.F. Ball. 1 lie nnisic of Alex Bartlia form ed an appropria te background for an even­ing of gaiety for 300 couples in even­ing attire, putting aside all thoughts of the terhnicalities of the classroom. I he ballroom was enhanced by the pre^ieiii-e of sorority and fraternity banners and huge red hearts.

1 lie climax of the evening came with the honoring of the I. F. Sorority sweetheart. T here were five candi­dates for this title, all of them active sorority girls or pledges. These girls: 1‘adra LeBlanc, Helen Scott, Shirley Kiafi, Virginia Brown, and A nn Franklin were nominated by votes of fraternity men |»lace«l in a ballot box in the court several days before the ilani-e. Final choice of the I.F. sweet­heart was made the Wednesday, TIuirsday, and Friday before the dance by holders of tickets to the Ball . Saturday night at 11:00 p.m. the choice of I.F. Sweetheart was nia<le public and Fadra LeBlanc was given a huge bouquet of flowers sig­nifying that she had won the tit le of LI'. Sweetheart and was to receive the homage of all fraternity men. The o ther four girls remained as at­tendants in her court.

Fadra is very well known on the Drexei campus and stands high in the esteem of all students who know her. Her pleasant smile and friendly dis­position have made her a favorite and the perfect choice for I.F. Sweetheart, She is a 4-year secretarial student, now a junior , and is an active m em ­ber of the Sigma Sigma Sigma so­rority.

The committee has announced that the dance was a financial as well as social success, and looks forward to bigger and belter Inter-Fraternity Balls in the future.

These pa.'t three years at Drexel have heen given to more than the ardent study of B. A., and so forth. Fadra is active in sports, enjoying particularly hockey, and riflery. She's a form er m em ber of the Rouge and Kobe. D.I.T.'s dramatic society, and i a m em ber of Y.W.C.A.. and the Student Building Association.

Regarding her looks, it is sufficient to say that Fadra certainly doesn’t contradict the storie^ vseVe heard abtiut the beauties v\hich come from Texas. She’s .i'3". and vseighs a well dis tr ibuted 110 pounds. Long hair , blond and ju^t a little curly at the ends, brown eyes that beam friendli- ne^s. a smile guaranteed to knock you for a loop that 's Fadra.

\ \ hen the subject of men came up during my interview w ith Fadra. there was silence, and a big grin. T ake it to mean what you like, and you’ll probably be right. As for her likes and di>likes, she's *’sin>ply in love” with chicken, and siie hates the sijjlit of spinach.

\ \ e don't advise that you go up to every girl and ask he r if she likes chicken. T h e re ’s an easier way to know l a d r a . Just keep on the out ­look for a gorgeous gal with blond locks and a fo-o-o fr iendly smile. Get ac*]uainted!

Ocu IS. 1926 >t the Po« Ofic. in Omribgloi of

PhU*. under Act of Mtrch 3, 1879. O o l l e b i o i G D if tG S l

A fte r flic B a ll I s O v e rDear Mom:

(»ee. darling. I have so much to tell yon my head is spinning. Vi ell. here goe«. The Interfraternity-Sorority Ball is over and I mean it with all my heart. I had the be»t time I have ever had in my life. Honest. Kven though it was snowing and the weather was horrible, even thougli we couldn't get a taxi and ^^e arrived late. an«l even though my date vs as color blind an«l brought me an o r ­ange and yellow corsage for my pink gown, and even though everyone ' lepped on my net skirt and ripped it in niill»ons of i)laces.

r i l start at the beginning. Satur- da> morning I intended to get loads of beauty sleep, but at 8:30 a.m. calamitv Beltv burst in awaking me from the dead only to open my eyes to »now and so much snow. Imme- diatelv my beautiful new gown flew to my head (literally speaking, of course. M om t. It would be ruined,I can't wear it. I won't go. oh darn. After a morning of groans and a long face I perked up and decided that nothing vsould daunt me. I was go­ing to the I.F. regardless, .‘'o there .

Now. honey, this is a secret between you and me. For three hours I got ready f«>r the Ball. I really needed all that t ime and more. I set my hair, t«iok a shower, put cream on my face, took it off. put it on again. Didn’t do all it said it would. I polished m> nails and. oh. just a million things. Finally I vsas ready. My date came< he'd only been there a half an hour) and told me how beautiful I was.I almost believe I blushed. It isn’t every day a girl gets told something like that, not me anyway. (Maybe the cream did do something after all.)

Eight of us crowded into a taxi and all the way I worried about my gown being crushed. We arrived just in t ime for intermission and I was so excited. The girls looked beautiful in tiieir gowns, and their room mates’ gowns, and the fellows looked like new men in their tuxedoes. I went a round the balcony with my date and we stopped to say ‘Miello” and talk to everyone. It was such a nice feel­ing. We tried to get a d r ink in the soda pop lounge, but it was a pretty popular place and I «iuenched my thirst with (I hate to say it) water. (Jee. and how I love the Ben Franklin pepsi-cola. The orchestra was superb and 1 felt like a fairy princess gliding around the floor. Sure am glad you invested in those dancing lessons for me. (losh. 1 wish 1 were there now. At the daiu-e. not the dancing class. Mom. Towards the end of the even­ing. liie I.F. Sweetheart vsas an ­nounced and Fadra LeBlanc was chosen. She and her C.ourt looked beautiful. My dale thought I would have uuule a lovely sweetheart and gullible me felt so proud. Oh well.I can dream, can't li* So can he and whom am 1 to stop h im ? At 12:00 the orchestra played “ C.ood night Sweet Dreams.” and we bid everyone adieu.

A gang of Us went to get ham- burgers and coffee and discussed what happened at the d a n c e —who went with \»ho, what everyone wore—you know, the usual l ine and fascinating gossip. 1 sure did hate to see the evening go, but as you always say, "All good things umst come to a close.” even my piano practicing Don’t get me wrong. Mom.

I fell asleep dreaming of the heav­enly t ime vse had had and wishing that we could have an I.F. Ball every week.

Must dash now as I have oodles of work to do!

Love and ki»»es (and please send my laundry on the double, food to o ) .

Your Im pish Daughter,

, \e i l Miller was born in Mechanics- burg. Pa., during 1923 September 2\— to be exact. His life, he claims, was (pjite normal until he en te red Drexel. Of c*»urse the fact that he was editor of his high school paper and president of the .National H onor Society are common, ordinary, every day events. Oh yes he claims to have m ade lots of numey by writing for the “ Daily L»>cal News” at five cents an inch. Sports items exclusively!

And he claims he once went fishing- in a rf>w boat even—and got sea­sick. To quote “ It was ho rr ib le .” .Nuff said.

H obbies? W hy su re—Photography especially and a half a «lozen others. He started taking pictures in high school and still takes them for “ the fun of it.” Of course being co-photo- graphic editor of the Lexerd allows ample t ime for this.

He likes football (but has never played said gam e), swimming and ice skating on the sports side. On the f«)od situation he claims he likes any­thing edib le but lu r the r elaboration brings choc<»late cake with chocolate ice cream, watermelon, and fried chicken. Also likes dancing, “a whole bunch of songs.” C hop in ’s Opus No. 33, and a certain sophom ore Alpha Sig.

Naturally he has a pet gripe, who doesn’t? At the pa r ticu la r moment it’s rain but v\e also hea r he dislikes shaving.

Right now Neil’s t im e is taken up

with being president of Alpha P i Lambda and the Men’s Student Coun ­cil. He is also a m em b er of Pi T au Sigma. hont)rary mechanical fra ter ­nity, an<l the A.S.M.E. He will be init iated into Phi K appa Ph i and Blue Key in the nea r future.

Which brings us to, naturally , the future. First «»n the list is a graduate c(»urse at M.I.T. T hen he will be an engineer and hopes to hea r the patter of eight or ten pairs of lit tle feet about h im which prtd iably takes us far enough into the fu ture.

L e t te rTo the Students:

For those of us who were here to rem em ber him, the A.S.M.E. sign in the court last week called up mem- 4»ries ol the boy who designed and built that m in ia tu re in terna l combus­tion engine. Memories of an active an»l cheerfu l s tuden t: George Darby.

Not only was (Jeorge active in the A.S.M.E. of which he was president in his senior year, but he was also a m endter of Men's S tudent Council, Scabbard and Bhule, Pi T au Sigma, an«l the sailing club. H e was Com­m odore t>f the sailing club in his seni»>r year.

It was th rough the interest and hard work of m en and women, interested men and wouumi, l ike (leorge Darby, with tiie gum ption and spirit so ne­cessary in any inst i tu t ion that many ol the s tudent tu gan i /a t ions and so­cieties now in exis tence at Drexel were fo rm ed and perpetuated . Such innovations as the M. E.’s mechanical btix a re the sort of eye-catching con ­traptions that these in terested students made anti displayed f<»r the betterment of their sitcieties. Never will we for­get the day that lit tle b«»x first made its appearance in the court. George w as I lie p roudest of a very p roud group t»f A.S.M.E. mem bers.

A nd so it is with a sigh that we viewed that A.S.M.E. sign. T he sigh because (ie«»rge Darby was k illed io action in Italy last fall. His spirit, however, will linger in Drexel us long as there is an A.S.M.E., und as long as u small in ternal cunibustion engine continues to announce the coining of A..S.M.E. nieetings.

Did you know tliat tlie Fox Theatre is not the only inst i tu t ion in P h i la ­delphia tiiat has a “ Winged Victory” ? Drexei has one too! T he original, at tha t! Well, anyway, an autlientic rep ro d u rt io n . Of rourse these two are not exactly the same k ind of “W inged Victory,” hut each serves its purposes. T h e purpose ours serves is to overlook tiie num erous activit ies of the Court. T h is she, the “ Winged ^ ictory,” does in he r own sightless, armless, complete ly headless way.

Some of tlie o ther less noticed and shouted-ahout of our cultural “ pieces des resistance” a re tlie n iarhle statues. Prohah ly you have eyed the little Medieval n u m h e r who is kissing he r hrave soldier goodhye. They stand in the i r silent embrace, oblivious to hotii tiie passing centuries and pass­ing Drexei stu«lents. H u m phrey Hogart and Charles IJoyer have no th ing on them.

A nother of our iiiarhle masterpieces is one of a m odest Grecian m aiden who has been try ing for literally ages to fasten on he r elusive bracelet. She is to be com plim ented for he r patience and perseverance. Never a he lp ing hand is she offered! Wliat a sad fate for one so fair!

Have you h eard ! W e m ean the joyful, gentle t icking and chiming of the Hit tenhouse Clock? It is out of h iberna t ion (o r whatever was the m at ­ter with it) and is now gently passing the t im e away in the first floor m useum.

On Monday afternoon, February 19th, two new members were init iated into Hlue Key. Recognition has been given to these men, Wil liam L. Kuechler and Roy N. Miller, for their leadership and service to Drexei while m aintaining a better than average scholastic record.

William Kuechler is president of the Men’s senior class. President of the A.LCh.E., Secretary of Alpha Pi Lambda fraternity, a m em ber of the Engineering Societies Council and is in W ho’s Who in American Colleges and Universities. His work as Secre- tary-Treasurer of Men’s Student Coun­cil during last year won him a bid. He is also tapped for Phi Kappa Phi.

Roy Neil Miller is President of Men’s Student Council , President of Pi T au Sigma, President of Alpha Pi Lam bda fraternity.

These men were chosen from the m em bers of the Senior class by the faculty m em bers and only Blue Key underg radua te still in school with the purpose of enabling the Society to keep active till t imes re tu rn to no r ­mal. For the underclassmen who may not be familiar with Drexel’s H onor ­ary Societies, Blue Key has been established so that student leaders may obtain recognition for the ir extra cur ­r icular activities.

G e t a R e n t

An elaborate and eye-catching poster, complete witii pictures of I.F. Sweetheart candidates, and elec­tion information was literally stolen from the Drexei court last Tuesday, Feb. 13. During tlie crowded lunch hour jiassers-by observed two students take down the poster and carry it off. Witnesses said that the whole affair was execute«l in a very authoritative m anner apparently by two recent fraternity pledges.

Don l ) e \o w ami Ed Ziizelo. fra ter ­nity men who were tending the voting box for I.F. Sweetheart and were on the scene at the lime of the theft, said that they were absorbed in the ballot casting and did not see the men take the poster.

As mysteriously as it disappeared, the poster was re tu rned somewhere between tt and 9:30 Tuesday night, bent and damaged. .Student C.ouiicil as well as fraternity men are baflled by such action apjiarently on the ]iart of fellow fraternity men. Drexei In ­stitute provides rules and regulations covering posters in the court, but the students are now concerned as to whether any action will be taken to reprim and the <»ffenders.

B e h in d Serenes On th e S tag e

Ah, if the audiences of R ouge and Robe productions could only have even a phantom of an idea of what goes on “behind the scenes,” the ir en ­joyment and pleasure in a ttending the plays would increase tenfold.

The new undertaking of Rouge and Robe, “ Boy Meets (Jirl,” is zooming with high speed towards success. The cast is under high pressure with a hard nailed director on their toes every minute, but they love it. The director pleads, yells, begs, tears his hair out, loosens his tie, demonstrates actions, and lines, and paces up and down the stage, sits down in the au ­dience, runs up to the stage—back and forth, back and f o r th —there seems no end to his vitality. Direc­tions and suggestions fly thick and thin. “ We can’t hear you, m ake it bigger, are you a street c leaner?— pick up your feet, it’s a fine th ing when you can’t even read y«)ur l ines.”

The actors silently (sometimes noisily) sit in secluded corners ta lk ­ing to themselves trying to learn lines without a book and without a pony (yes, it’s even tr ied in plays).

Some scenes call for piano idaying while conversation is going on what excitement takes jdace! “ Yell!” cries the Director. “ I want to hear you yell.” The cast is also urged to learn to come through a door instead of walking through a jtartit ion.

So ends our little session beh ind the scenes. It was an interesting one, and it certainly proves that we have a large grou() of hard working students interested in Drexel’s activities.

The A.S.M.E. held a stmlent meet­ing last I'liesilay night in the student building, instead of invit ing a guest speaker, a student speaker was fea­tu red instead. This stutleni i» one of the m em bers of the senior class, namely Eil Zuz«*lo. l ie presented a iiMist timely and interesting talk on the wiml tunnel and its uses in the field of aeronautical engineering. He described the various methods «tf test­ing planes and airf«>il sectitins by siiiiilating actual flight conditions in these gigantic wind tunnels. Ed ex­plained the construction of the wind tunnel and the methods of de te rm in ­ing and producing varying velocities of air speeds.

At the close of the business meet­ing a movie was shown on the B uild ­ing of a Itoiiiber. Refreshments were then serveil.

• Home Economics

Members of the Home Economics Association of Drexei met together in the Art (iailery Thursday, Febru ­ary 15, to hear Miss Corbett , extension worker in the Delaware County Dis­trict.

(ihairman of the meeting was Miss Ebersole, Hom e Econ«)iiiics instruc­tor, who in troduced Miss Corbitt to the large audience in attendance.

Subject of Miss ( io rbet t’s interesting speech was the need for employment, during the summer, of volunteers from the cities and suburban districts as farm workers. This need portends to be greater in the coming sum m er than it has been in the past few years since the outbreak of the war, and the call for volunteers. Because farmers are no longer deferred as essential workers, more pe»>ple than ever are needed to do sum m er work on farms.

Miss Corbitt , in her talk suggested the use of vacations as a profitable aii«l enjoyable t ime for aiding in the significant crisis which can be averted through a m ult i tude of volunteers to help on neighboring farms.

Another Tri Sigma week-end lia> passed but we certainly won’t forget it very ipiickly, will we, Sally? Sled­ding and skating were super attrac­tions. We w«M'(‘ glad t«i welcome back alumnae, Eh‘anor Stevenson and I'eg McNicker, and ex-f7 Joan Kinard. Joan became the bride of Lt. T heo ­dore K. (nenn , Army Air (]orps, on Saturday, December 30th, in Chapel !\o. 2, MacDill Field, Tampa, Florida. Her m other was the matriui of honor.

The following girls selected T ri Sigma and we certainly are t ickled pink about it: Lorene Holland, June Cimiiiel, Dorothy Blackburn, Flthel Hastress, Jean Mitinger, Regina Kelly, Helen Scott, Virginia Trout, Mary Long, Lorna Pratt, Rosemary Leon­ard. Helen (!umiiiings, Juanita (Con­roy. Ann Swingler, Ann Stall, Muriel 'I'edrow, and Kay Stratton.

Franny lli ti 'hcock “ skipped school’* a few days because T.t. Jack Hilhish came home. Knowing the “ Demies,” and Jack is one, we don 't blame he r one lit tle bit.

Teehette Rifle Team Undefeated

One of the first collegcfl in the country to have a women’s rifle team, Drexel has continued to hold top- notch position with a winning team. In the mili tary oflTice Sergeant Mathews takes care of all the business matters while Sergeant F le tcher is the squad's roach. Manager Jean Cailey contacted 38 colleges trying to arrange matches. She succeeded in getting n ine colleges to compete in postal matches and two for sliouldcr-to-ehoul- de r matches. Perhaps a word of ex* planation is needed about the dif­ference between postal and shonlder* lo-shouldcr matches. .Since it is im ­possible to travel to the different col­leges postal matches are carried on. Two or three colleges compete in the same match. Fo r a designated week the scores of all partic ipants are recorded. Saturday night the ten high scores are sent to their competitors and the first five are added together giving the total score for each team. The highest is of course awarded the match. Shouldor-to-shoulder matches, as the name implies, are held with both teams shooting at the same time in the same place.

The squad is made up of the fol­lowing girls and from these are chosen the ton high scorers each week: Marian Ihiutz, Elizabeth Mathe- son, Myrita Keil, Sally Ross, Eugenia GrifTilh, Ina Cassale, Eleanor Wallace, Kay O’Boyle, Lois Young. Elaine Menaugh, Jeanne lirown, Terry Weid- man, I)*»ttie Hlackburn, Libby Ileagy, and Fadra LelManc.

The first match, a postal, started the Techettes off on the right foot when they defeated Kliode Island State Col­lege 497 to 459. On January 27 Drexel again came out on top by defeating Cornell 494 to 470. F eb ru ­ary 10 there was tr ip le competit ion between Monmouth College, N orth ­western and Drexel. The results as yet have not come back.

In a game which featured the sharp- shooting of Mc(^allum, forward for the o)tposition, and rap id fire passing and shooting by the Dragon five, Drexel was nosed out 55-43 in its game witli the U. S. Coast (h iard , on Feb ­ruary J3th. .Sharing the scoring h o n ­ors for the Drexel five were Charley Haiim. Hob l lo rrocks , and Don W ar ­r ington with n ine points apiece. W ar ­r ington, who cafitained the team for tlie evening, was forced out during the final per iod for committing five personal fouls.

Mc('alluin set the pace early in the opening period by personally scoring the game's first fourteen points in be- half of the visitors. T he Dragons then took hold of the situation and drove to a hiilf-tinie score of 31-22, the Coast (Jiiard leading. D uring the second half the game ran last and smoothly but the Drexel quin te t could come no closer than live points ot the ir bard- |M«‘s».e(l adversaries.

T o n ig h tTonight the Dragon quinte t will

take to the hom e court against one of the strongest teams on its schedule, LaSalle. Overpowered in the first en ­counter with LaSalle, the Drexel five hopes to come back to chalk an u p ­set victory to its slate. This game should prove interest ing to the spec­tators since this up-and-coming team of Drexel’s has at last gotten on the move and is exhibiting a better b ran d of basketball than it sliow'ed in the early pa r t of the season. W ith some loyal support on the sidelines, they're most sure to give an excellent account of themselves, our team.

After the game there will be an open dance in the S tudent Building, sponsored by the M en’s Athletic Coun­cil to help get the s tudent body out to the game to show some spiri t.

The p n tb ab le line-up for the game is as follows:

B e a t G i r l sThe Marines landed and the situa­

tion was well in hand. T h e battle was hard fought and the Techettes really gave them a strong defense. “ Maz” Barron, Captain Peg Balder- ston, Terry Engel and R ose Friedel were <»n guard all a f te rnoon and really had to keep m oving for what the Marines lacked in techn ique they sure made up in speed.

Tiie score ran even all th rough the game and it looked as though the Techettes were really going to see vic­tory at last but the last few m inutes decided the game when the “ lea ther ­necks” made the final baskets m aking the score 31 to 28.

f o u l S h o t sH ere we are, back again after three

weeks of loafing. W e bad a few stormy sessions w ith the e d ito r abom the d isgraceful inactivity, but, in t ru th , the rest was well apprecia ted.

O u r baske tba l l team, whose per. sonnel changes by the m on th , should h i t its s tr ide soon because the last crew out exh ib i ted a sm oo ther pass­ing game a n d an a le r t defense. Bet- te r play u n d e r the backboards was something new th a t has been added. We shan’t go ou t on a l im b on the result of tha t LaSalle encoun te r this very evening in Curtis gym, b u t we can assure you tha t am ong the final contests th e re will be a few Drexel victories. T h e games yet to play a re :

Fri., Feb. 23— LaSalle.W'ed., Feb. 28—Lafayette.Sat., Mar. 3—R utgers .Fri., Mar. 9—Jo h n s Hopkins.Sat., Mar. 10—P.M.C.

As yet the baseball schedule has not been com ple ted so there can’t be m uch said concern ing ou r opponents on the d iam o n d th is .Spring. Coach McMains has issued the call fo r candi­dates and practices will soon be under way. In tens ive practices will begin at the close of this term . Team s likely to appear on the schedule a re ; Penn, Rutgers, P r ince ton , Lafayette, and Haverford.

Although Mi.ss F o rs tn e r ’s basketball team hasn't won a game as yet the scores indicate any th ing bu t a poor team. Every score has been so close that it seems that with ju s t a little more push the girls cou ld really have a winning team. O ne of the hardest scores to take was the Chestnut Hill game that ended 29-28 in favor of the visitors. At Sw arthm ore the team was lauded by the “ G arnets” for giv­ing them one of the best fights they had had all season. Drexel managed to add up m ore po in ts against the Swarthniorians th an Pe n n had m an ­aged to do in a p rev ious game. That is really going som e! T o their op­p o n en t’s 116 points the Dragonettes have scored 96 po in ts so with four m ore games, the team ought to even up o r top the total of th e i r opponents .
