THE TECH GivesExpert Analysis-of

T. E., N. Voo DooWildcats and Green Dragons to

Meet in Football ContestTommorrow at 5

Another. of the Institute's inter sec-tional football contests between thezeroth and the third floor will takeplace on Tech Field at 3 o'clock tomor-row afternoon when the T. E. N. GreenDragons will meet the Voo Doo WVild-cats in what has become their annualpost-season game.

Both teams are keyed up to thehighest pitch as the game apploachesand they think of the palatable mealswhich Eils once more grace their es-phagus when they have forsaken thetraining table. It is difficult to predictw-hich team will emerge victorious butat present the odds are 5 to 5 il favorof T. E. N.

Voo Doo has developed a new indi-vidualistic method of practice whichamounts to shadow tackling and run-ning similar to the performance givenin the Yale Bowl a few weeks ago be-tween halves. Goble, stellar tackle ofthe Wildcats, has been suffering froma charliehorse from tackling himselfin his secret shadow practice but it ishoped that he will be able to start thegame tomorrow.

Voo Doo has one horseman andthree mules in its backfield whichexpects to kick through to thegoal line several times. Schipper andHills are good line plungers, whileSteele is best at cutting around theends. The entire backfield is good atpunting and could be able to well out-distance their opponents on the kicks.

Walker, quarterback for the T. E. NT.aggregation, was, previous to his ad-mission tWti- Intstitute, star back -at-che National Park Seminary in Wash-ington, having been three times winnerof the back beautiful contest. Fordused to play mudguard for the Henries

Co-eds, too, have their troubleswith freshman rules at Technol-ogy. One half the freshmanclass on the Carbridge side ofthe river is wearing a freshmantie; the other half refuses to doso. The Sophomore class, how-ever, is emphatic in her demandthat the Class of '30 be obeyedby the Class of '31.-

Miss Mary -E. Betts, the onlySophomore co-ed on this side ofthe river, "suggested" to boththe freshmen members of hersex recently that it was entirelyfitti ng and proper that they wearthose beautiful ties that theirbrothers were wearing. M issMary K. Cusick acceded to therequest; Miss Rose V. Ruch, theother half of the freshman class,refused, and still consistently re-fuses, to obey the rules. It isunderstood that the Sophomoreclass will take drastic action inthis matter very soon. Therules, incidentally, do not in-clude saying "Hello" to upper-class male students.

of the scholarship committee, reportedon a survey of the comparative schol-airship standings of fraternities in 119colleges of the country. The report,said to be the first comprehensivestudy of the compa ative scholarshipsof fraternity and non-fraternity men,recommended more Aigid requirementsfor initiates.

In the report of the committee onrushing and initiation, Col. AlexanderA. Sharp recommended that only Soph-omores be admitted to fraternal or-ganizations, because of the undesirablefeatures of the "cut-throat methods"used in rushing first-year men.

Reverend Ralph W. Sockman of NewYork delivered an address on frater-nity ideals. Representatives of theNational Pan-Hellenic congress, an or-ganization comprising women's frater-nities, attended the afternoon session.

"Needed: More Science in FloodControl," by John R. Fret an '76, anauthority 'on hydraulic "ngineering,and a composite log of the Technologyflood radio expedition are the twomain offerings of the Pechnology Re-view in the December number of thealumni'magazine. The Review willbe on sale tomorrow morning in thecorridors.

Two major disasters in the form ofgigantic uncontrollable floods causingirreparable loss, have within less thana year's time reduced two vast areasin the United States to a mass ofwreckage and temporarily untillableland. The New England catastrophefollowing closely on the heels of theMississippi destruction has served toopen the eyes of government officialsto the former inefficacious methods offlood control, and has now thrown thelight on the study of scientific schemesfor the prevention of similar disastersin the future.

Flood Control Methods

in the article bay Freeman, the Re-view editors present a survey of theflood control methods utilized in theMississippi Valley and some recom-mendations (the establishment of alaboratory for the study of river hy-draulics) for improved procedure. Theauthor, who-advocates a thorough lab-oratory study of hydraulics, particu-larly of rivers and harbors, points outin his paper the absurdity of the pro-posed' spill-ways, storage-reservoirs,and reforestration plans soon to besubmitted to Congress.

Continuing their policy instituted inthe first issue of the new school yearof enlightening alumni and undergrad-uates on Institute student politics, theIt'view editors delve a little furthert or the benefit of the aforementionedand correspondents of THE TECH intothe hows and whys of the thinking ma-chine of the Institute Committee. Acatechism on the Cellar Cabinet, ordi-narily called the Executive Committee,includes answers as well as questionsabout a body little kInown around theInstitute. The replies are not only in-formative but are at times humorou.,:.

Besides the featured articles and theUndergraduate Affairs section, the Rc-v iewv includes the usual monthly de-partments, as the Trend of Affairs sec-tion, Book Review section and theNews from the Classes and Technol-ogy Club sections. The cover etching,done by John Taylor Arms '11, bearsthe title "cobwebs," and a ,aterfrontcity street against a background ofbridges, each with a network of sup-porting wires.

To the Editor of "SThe Tech":Dear Sir:

May I request the privilege, of spacein your columns to present to the stu-dent body a few facts concerning apossible undergraduate activity inwhich I am greatly interested?

During the last few years there hasdeveloped in this country a growinginterest in vocal music on ,the partof the individual college communities.In some institutions it has taken theform of the substitution of a choir forthe traditional college glee 'club.. Inothers attempts have been made tohalve Im~munity singing. Here inNew England a number of the smal-ler colleges which are residential incharacter and domiciled in the smal-ler New England towns, have had for,many years a tradition of student sing-ing.

I remember well nearly twenty-fiveyears ago when I went to WesleyanUniversity as a very junior memberof the instructing staff, the pleasantimpression which was mine in the com-munity singing of the student bodythere. The result of that general in-terest and practice has recently bornefruit in the success which has attendedthe Wesleyan Glee Club in the AnnualIntercollegiate Competition held inNew York. Wesleyan has won thiscompetition, if I remember rightly,for the last two years, and when oneconsiders that finals as held in NewYork represent a nation-wide selectionof competitors, it spells no meanachievement.

My own feeling is very strongly thatthis, in part at least, is ref erable tothe general practice of student bodysinging at Wesleyan, which, as I havesaid, is a traditional custom carefullyconserved and cherished. Opportuni-ties h~ave been offered to oar owen stu-dent b'ody to develop a somewhat sim-ilar activity. We have, of course, a,

we are only superficially resident, inothers words, our dormitory life is -inits infancy.

I am sending this letter to you d-e-siring that you give it space in yourcolumns in the hope that -it mnay ex-cite some expression of opinion fromyour readers. Many yeam' contactwith various student activities hastaught me the complete futility of of-fering to the student body -an y projectfor which there is no real need.

To the Editor, of "The Tech":Dr. R~owe has been good enough to

let me read the above letter, and I ainglad to have the opportunity that itoffers me to express my hearty sym-pathy in the point of 'view that hehas outlined, and to further expressmy belief from years of experienceamong architects that there is no onething that so draws them together andestablishes an esprit de corps as a com-mnon interest in some form of singing.Both as head of the Department of-Architecture and as head of GeneralStudies I shall be delighted to co-operate with the movement that Dr.Rowe has initiated.

FENWAY

Spying in the rebels' camp and es-caping by a hairs breadth with h2is

life, riding a horse at top speed withreins held between his teeth anll twoguns blazing away at his pursuers,jumping from cliffs into water hun-dreds of feet below, and Yet a heartfull of love; that's the modern ver-sion of Jesse James as p layed byFred Thomson in a motion pictureunder that name, now at the Feaway.The scene is laid in the south, imme-diately after the Civil War, and formsa pictureque background for the hunt-ed outlaw who robs the plunderersof the poor and then turns aro~und andoffers assistance to the needy. Red-blooded he-man adventures such aswould make a ten year old youngster'sheart flutter with excitement and alove theme for the sentimental arecombined in this week's offering,"Jesse James." A good dose of Doug-las Fairbanks' thunder, wve think.

"The Joy Girl" with Olive Bordenand Nell Hamilton is the secondaryfeature of the bill. The story, an a4n-cient one at best, shows how a well-intentioned gold-digger is fooled intomarrying a poor chauffeur, but is ex-triceated'from the misfortune by time-ly aids and proceeds to fall into thelap of luxury unknowingly.

Clara Dow, the screen's red-headedflapper vamp, in her latest comedy,"Get Your Man" is the feature attrac-tion at the Metropolitan Theatre thisweek.

Stepping from the Hawaiian lifeportrayed in "Hula," Miss Bows hasgone to France for the background ofher new comedy. As an American sub-deb seeing Paris for the first time shemeets "her mall" who is a youngnobleman in town buying his fiancee'swedding present. It's love at firstsight, with some highly amusing com-plications. Bumping into the youngman wherever she, goes, Clara ulti-mately starts a, conversation with himin a wax-works museum. So enthralledthe two are with each other that themuseum is locked up for the nightwithout either becoming aware of thepassing of time. Later the fiancee isrevealed, and Clara, bound on acquir-ing the husband of her choice, isobliged to wreck an automobile, makelove to her lover's prospective father-in-law and eventually become 'com-promised' before wedding bells ring

The stage production for the weekis Jack Partington's "Steppin' High,"and is one of the fastest moving anddiversified, shows which the Metropoli-tan has recently presented. The cen-tral attraction is, of course, GeneRodemich and his popular stage band,playing the latest dance tunes andrhythmic transcriptions of the classics.The Metropolitan has made a reputa-tion for itself by maintaining the con.

Interest In Undergraduate SingingTH RIGHT-- --- TO BE HAPPYS--- ----

THE RIGHT TO BE HAPPY, yMs

Bertrand Russell. New York: Har-per and Brothers. -$2.50.

Many more people are willing to ac-cept theoretically ideas such as Mrs.Bertrand Russell presents in "TheRight to, be Happy" than are willing~to apply them to life. However, eventhe author admits that they must beapplied slowly or the results mightbe worse than the present conditions.

Human beings have a right to hap-piness, she maintains, and in the firstpart of the book she traces the his-tory of this right daring its suppres-sion by social customs, superstition,law, and conventional morality andreligion. She thoroughly discusses thedegeneration of sex and parenthood un-der the present day beliefs, as theseare points which she finds to be thegreatest sources of happiness if theyare not too much restricted. "Irs ouruniverse so limited, is our life solacking in variety and mystery thatwe must run to take ref uge in an-other world?" "We must not emulatethe ignorant gardeners who placewater-loving plants upon a parchedand desert hill and scold their ex-cessive lust for water as a mortal sin."

Unlike many a proposed society, theone Mrs. Russell proposes makes al-lowances for all type of people so thatit should interest far more peoplethan some proposed forms of classutopias. Whether the reader agreeswith her or not, the book is intenselyinteresting for she explains the rea-sons f or her beliefs so clearly thatone is forced to take an inventory ofone's personal beliefs to see whetherthey are equally reasonable.

THE QUEST OF YOUTH T

THE QUEST OFE; YOUTH, by Jef~eryFarnol. Boston: Little Brown&Company. $2.50.

The name of Jeffery Farnol, associ-ated with his novels, has come to-besynonomous with the romance andglory of an England of a century ago."Trhe Quest of Youth" is such a novel,and as such lives up to the reputationof such earlier novels as "The HighAdventure," "Black Dartlemy's Treas'ure," and its sequel "Martin Conisby'sVengeance."

The story opens with Sir Marma-duke literally dying from indigestio nbrought on by a severe attack of ennui.On the advice of a doctor, Wother-spoon by name, and by the fortuitoushand of Fortune, Sir Marmaduke be-comes involved in situations affectingthe life of one, Eve-Ann Ash. Thespark of gallantry kindles and soonbecomes consuming. A murder occursand suspicion threatens to point an ac-cusing finger at Eve-Ann, but what aregallant heroes for?

To tell more of the plot would belike burning to a crisp a tender juicysteak. Suffice it to say that the mys-tery is upheld to the very last pages,amidst action and adventure whichcolor every moment.

Farnol's stories are unique, "TheQuest of Youth" being no exception,-unique because of the delightf zlcharacterizations and interesting de-scriptions. There is not a dull speckin the makeup of these characters;and when set against the quaintnessand picturesqueness of old England,they acquire a rich and mellow tonethat seems to make them alive waithfire and verve-scintillating with sub-tle humor.

From the literary point of viewthis novel may be no masterpiece, butfrom the standpoint of pleasure andentertainment, "The Quest oi Youth"is eminently enjoyable.

COLLEGE DEBATERS TO FOLLOW ALONG THETRAIL OF C:APTAIN C:OOK

BATES COLLEGE at Lewiston, Maine, has varsity athleticBteams in all of the ordinary collegiate sports, but its great-

-est claim to fame is its debating team. This year this smallMaine college is about to set up another debating precedent.In 1921 she sent to England the first intercollegiate team everto cross the Atlanltic. At an early date she is planning to senda team around the world, the most ambitious debating programev~er undertaken by any institution of learning as far as weknow.

The itinerary of this trip is given as follows: "On the pro--. posed trip the Bates men will take part in about twenty-five

debates, meeting teams in the Philippines, New Zealand, Aus-tralia, South Africa, and England . The present plan is for theteam to go to San Francisco, embarking there for Honolulu,the Philippine Islanlds, New Zealand, and Australia. They willthen cross to Capetown in South Africa, proceeding up the westcoast of Africa through the Suez Canal, the MediterraneanSea, the Straits of Gibraltar, and on up to England, wherethey will sail for New York."

That Bates is qualified to carry the debating colors of Ameri-can Colleges is evidenced by her past record in the world ofundergraduate forensics. The college held its first intercol-legiate debate in 1896. Since that time it has participated in106 contests, twenty-one of which were held with foreign unli-versities. Of these 106 Bates has won eighty-two, not includ-ing the four in which there were mixed teams or no decision.

- ~We are surprised to learn that this comparatively small col-lege has gone in for debating on such a large scale. The Gan-net Newspapers of Portland, aided by a State Committee of rep-resentative citizens are raising a fund of $7,000 with the helpof the Bates Alumni body to make this latest debating expe-dition possible. The value of the intercollegiate debate is wellknown, yet in the past there has been something lacking in suchcontests to interest much more than a handful of listeners.With the introduction of this Bates idea of debating on an inter- national scale there is little doubt but what interest in college forensics will increase quite considerably.I

The Philadelphia Record speaks of Bates College as theI: "champion debating college of the world" which is quite an

uinusual distinction in these modern days when the footballXstadium is the center of the average campus building program,

and the actual center of an overwhelming percentage of uln-dergraduate thought and discussion.

Last year's coach, Mr. John Roth,,*has been teaching fencing for a nlum-ber of years around Boston. One ofthe last teams that he taught beforecoming to the engineers was the oldCasino Club of Boston that had a finefencing team. He made a winner oflast year's outfit for his first year hereand aided by Mr. Anton Gelass shouldhave even better success this season.MI-. Gelass is a graduate of the FrenchGovernment school at Joinville-le-Pont,the only school in the world giving adiploma as master of arms. Mr. Ge-lass is one of about three of the mas-ters in this country. He is a formerteacher of Mr. Roth and has beencoaching teams for a long while.

Heading this year's team is CaptainCarl Harris of last year's squad. Heis fortunate enough to be leading ateam of veterans, only one man, Siller,of last year's team being not availablefor this season. Harris is a veryclever fencer, being proficient with allthree weapons. He just missed quali-fying in last year's individual foilsinteircollegiates and with Siller quali-fied in the team finals with the epee.One of last season's highest scorers, heought to keep up the work this year.

In the list of men that are eligiblefor the team perhaps the next man isCarlos Ferre, captain of last year's out-fit. This is his second year on theVarsity and he has always been a de-pendable point-winner. His specialtyis with the foil. The other regularmember of last year's team, Lester, isalso out this year and should annexmany points for the team. Two goodregular substitutes in Harrison andKononoff are also working with thecoaches. Both men had experience inlast year's matches.

A stiff schedule faces the team thisseason because the teams have beenregrouped and the engineers are in thenew arrangement. Making up the restof the group are Columbia, Dartmouth,Harvard, Yale and Syracuse. With theexception of the Army this group takesin all the really strong eastern teams.Plans for this year's meets are beingsettled and the team will probablytake on most of the 'group and severaloutside.

A trip is being planned to Annapolisthat will enable the team to meet anumber of teams on the same trip.The three teams will probably includePrinceton, Penn and the Navy. An in-formal meet may also be held with theSaltus Club of New York, one of thefinest teams in the East. Syracuse andColumbia will come to Cambridge formatches. It is also quite'likely thatBowdoin and Yale will also meet theieeavers at Technology.

Certainly a hard schedule for anyteam, yet there seems no doubt thatthe team has a fine chance of comingthrough. With the advantages of ex-

perience and coaching that is behindthis year's team there is no reasonwhy Technology should not win theintercollegiates, provided the men keep

:up the way they have started off.As soon as the game opened, theycadets took the offensive and kept theengineers on the defensive throughoutthe game, scoring four of its five scoresduring the first half. The Cardinaland Gray fought hard from start tofinish, but to no avail, as the cadets Iseason for Physical Training substitu-were a mluch better team and easilyoutplayed the Institute aggregation.The first half was fast and very rough,the cadets keeping the eage Tarough-out the game. By the end of the halfthe engineers were tired and certainlyneeded the rest period.

The Beavers had much more successin holding the Army mule during thesecond half than it did during thefirst; the cadets could not breakthrough the stubborn Technology de-fense in spite of the large number ofbruised shins that the Cardinal andGray booters had already received.Although the engineers could not takethe offensive they succeeded in organ-izing a fairly good defense during thesecond half. This succeeded in hold-ing the Army to one score.

A survey of the injuries received re-vealed that besides Capt. Sparre, Haw-kins had a cut eye and Mong had hissAmjis badly battered, the second timethis year, as he was laid up for severaldays a few weeks ago. Barondi wasback in the lineup, and somehow orother he managed to get out of thegame without any injuries.

Althouggh the team waqkicked worseby the Army mule this3y'ear than itwas last, it is better than last year'steam was, It has won moire games aswell as holding a number of its op-ponents to very close scores. Lastyear's team won only one game whilethis year's has won two, tied one, andlost five. Several of the teams thatthey lost to have the reputation of be.ing this year's best teams.

Springfleld, the Army and Northeast-ern lead the list of the better knownteams in the East. All of these teamswere superior to the Cardinal and(ray, but the engineers put up a goodfight from start to finish and playedgood soccer with the exception of theNortheastern game, which was verypoorly played. This was probably dueto the fact that it was the first game ofthe season and the engineers had nottime to organize.

Capt. Sparre leads the list of thosewho will not be back in the lineup nextyear. Others who will be lost by grad-uation are Ventura, Sharabati andSacco. This leaves seven of this year'steam who will be back next year. Be-sides this, there are a number of sub-stitutes who show signs of becomingreal soccer players after a little morepractice. The forward line has lostmost of the men and will probably bethe weakest next year. Both fullbackswill probably play next year and thatwill give them a much better startthan they had this year.

tion goes on. Only two weeks havebeen put in by the youngsters in prac-tice so the coach is only beginning toget the crowd going. Already thesquad is showing plenty of men withthe ability to make good players forthe team when the outside matchesstart.

For coach this year the f rosh haveEdward R. Harrigan '29. He is agraduate of the University of Detroitand having played his three years ofcollegiate basketball there, is ineligiblefor Institute Varsity. Because he isstill interested in the game he is put-ting his time into coaching the frosh.With his experience he should be ableto turn out a good fast outfit. Overthirty men have turned out to thepractices that have been held this year.

Now for the winter sports. Withthe cross country and soccer seasoncompleted, and things slowing up atthe boat house, it Is time for our nextsports to open up. The hockey teamhas been practicing now for almosttwo weeks; Coach McC~arthy hasl beenkeeping things moving with the basket-ball quintet; Lou O'Malley's leatherpushers have been punching the bagquite steadily; the wrestling squad isstarting to shape up well and the othersports such as fencing, gym, and rifleare getting into the pink.

A few more days now and the cindertrack will be closed for the season.The board track is in condition and itwould not be surprising to see CoachHedlund wo~rk his men out there anyone of these afternoons. Beyond theusual handicap meets the track housewill be comparatively quiet for thenext few months. Of course the long,tiresome winter training must be donebut it will not be until next springthat the runners and field event menwill really come into their own again.

Coach Tommy Rawson seems quitepleased these days writh the prospectsof this year's boxing team. The leatherpushers have one of the best squadsthat have represented the Institute inthe last few years. There is a practi-cally veteran team over at the Hangar and several from the 1926 yearlingsquad should make it interesting forthe Varsity. Of course Kuki's loss isa big one but with such men as O'Mal-ley, Bolanos, Keith, Peatfield, Joyce,Jamieson and a few others, opponentsof the Cardinal and Gray have theirwork cut out for them.

At last we have a complete tennistournament. It seems to be the habitin college tennis circles to start theseason with a tennis tournament inthe fall. Unhappily these tournamentsseem to fall by the wayside' afterabout the quarter final round. Lastfall the Cardinal and Gray tournamentended prematurely with no championchosen. It would seem that engineermanagers are becoming more efficient.Our congratulations to Johnny Wilson.

Basketball starts on its way Satur-day when the Engineer quintet pitsits strength against New Bedford atthe Hangar. Doe M~cCarthy's boyshave been holding some intensive prac-tice of late and should be in the pinkfor their opening fray. Norm McClin-tock, one of last year's veterans, willsoon be readly to take his regular placeatgain. He has b~eell with the crosscountry team for the last fewr monthsbut that sport is nowv completed until] 928.

FENCERS LOSE ONLY SILLERFROM LAST YEAR'S OUTFIT

Prospects for this year's fencing team at Technology appearto be very bright and the team seems to be starting out on whatpromises to be the most successful season the fencers have everhad. Both in the matter of coaching and of men the team thisyear is particularly fortunate. With last year's coach back atthe Job aided by another new man and all of last year's Varsityexcept one man to work with an outfit seems to be gettinl.under way that will make stiff opposition to the best of theteams in New England that it is scheduled to meet.

H. T. KIM '29 ISTENNIS CHAMPION

Defeats Doleran in Five SetsIn Final Round of Fall

T ournament

Homer T. Kim '29, who comes fromfar away Korea, was the victor in theannual fall Technology tennis tournna-ment which was completed last Wed-nesday. In the flnal round, he defeat-ed Paul Doleman, a graduate, in agruelling match by the score: 4-6, 4-6,6-4, 6-3, 6-2. For the first two setsDoleman's great accuracy and abilityto return almost any shot gave himthe advantage, but as the match pro-gressed Kim solved his opponent'sstyle and when the contest finishedthere was no question as to the betterman.

Unfortunately for Technology,neither of the finalists will be eligibleto compete in the spring. Kim, thenew champion, is a transfer from theUniversity of Washington, where heheld the title for three consecutiveyears, while Doleman is a graduate ofTufts College, where he was a star onthe Varsity team.

With the largest entry list of anyof the tennis tournaments held at theInstitute it was hoped that some newmaterial for the teams would be un-covered, and such hopes proved not tobe vain. Judging from the fates ofthe seeded men there are many hither-to unknown stars at Technology, andunlike the two men who reached thefinals most of them are eligibles.

Eight men of known ability wereseeded at the start of the tournament,but the other competitors soon showedthat they had no respect for the rec-ords of the chosen few and most of theseeded men were eliminated in theearly rounds. Alexis Kononoff, rankedsecond, next to the captain, was theonly seeded man to reach the semi-finals, where he fell victim to thesteady playing of the wily Doleman.

Of course the outstanding upset ofthe tournament was the defeat of Capt.Kuki in the first round by JohnCleary. It is unfair to rate a man onthe result of one match and too muchcredit should not be given as the Tech-nology captain may have been off form.However, Cleary, who is a Sophomoreand therefore eligible for three yearsof Varsity competition, was the onlyman besides Doleman to win a setfrom Kim,-and the new Institute cham-pion had to be on his game all the timein order to win.

Better spirit than ever before wasshown in the tournament this yearand the combination of the eagernessto play and good management made itpossible to finish all matches in goodseason in spite of poor weather. Withthe great interest shown this fall intennis, a banner season is expected inthe spring.

HOCKEY CANDIDATESHAVE EARLY HOURS

Many Turn Out For 7 O'clockPractice at Arenla

Twenty of Technology's Varsity andfreshman hockey candidates workedup an appetite for their Thanksgivingdinner by working out on the ice atthe Arena, Thursday morning, underthe direction of Coach Bill Stewart.Call them Merry Milkmen or whathave you, but the boys have got thespirit that develops winning teams.

With the news that Harvard is tohave another strong team and that allthe veterans of last year's sterling B.U. outfit will play this season, the Car-dinal and Gray prospects are dubious.The lack of veterans this year is agreat handicap, but there are so manymen on the squad that one or two findsmay be unearthed. Capt. Ralph C~ros-by, sterling forward of last year's team,is rapidly rounding into shape andshould set the team a high standard.

In the short scrimmage that washeld Thursday, the Varsity looked fair.The expected weakness on defense,after the loss of Berkely, Crandall andRichards was quite evident and CoachStewart has a huge task ahead of himto develop men to fill the positions ofthe two defense men and goal tender.The freshmen looked very good andalthough it is pretty early to judgethem they probably have the bestsquad for the last five or six years.

Jimmy Cox, the Penn State crosscountry star who has twice won theNational Intercolleglates at New York,will have another try at it next year.tI-e is only a Junior at school but ap-pears to be one of the country's bestProspects. It would not be surprisingto see him nip Willie Ritola one ofthese days in the National Amateurs'Cox was a member of the 1924 Olympicteam and should be. one of the starsin next year's international --ames.

Hard-Playing A rty TeamShows To Good AdvantageIn Defeating Beavers 5 to O

Technology received a 5-0 setback at the hands of theArmy at W'est Point last Wednesday afternoon. .The cadetswere by far the better team, outplaying the Cardinal and Grayfrom start to finish, but they were also the roughest team metthis year; and a number of the players were pretty well bat-tered, chief among whom was Capt. Sparre. He was hit byfour men and had to be carried from the field. Although notseriously injured he has some badly bruised shins and his hipswere skinned.

M~achine That CanMleasure' Emotions

|New Psyc~hological Invention IsIExhibited at Ohio

University

A new- psychological invention, amachine whlich measures the psyche-galvaniic 'responses, or, to speak lessscientifically, measures emotions, -wasexplained and demonstrated by StarkeHathaway, its inventor, at a meetings_of Kappa Delta Pi. honorary edulca-tional fraternity, at Ohio University.

This machine is reported to recordthe finer-emotions of which an individ-ual is unconscious, such as the pleas-ure derived from smoking, the feel-i ngs .xereced when anothergsepre per-son's name is mentioned, etc.

This is how it is done: Two nickelelectrodes are fastened to the palmsof the subjects. On dials with whichthe electrodes are connected, varia-tions of feeling experienced by thesubject are recorded. If the subjectthinks of a number when this samenumber is mentioned, although nochange of feeling is noticed, the de-sire to conceal the fact that this is theright number will cause the needle tofluctuate.

For many years the psychologyworld has teemed with talk concern-ing emotions. Great interest has beendisplayed in France, Germany, and inthe United States. Very little of im-portance has been discovered until thepresent tim-e, for all of the machinesin use have been very erratic and un-dependable. An old type first usedin Germany, which serves as a basisf or the. apparatus as it now is, was,awkward and imperfect, The workof perf ecting the psylcho-galvanometerhas continued f or more than fouryears, with failures and disappoint-ments.

Last year a student conducted ex-Iperiments with advertising materialand f ound that the reaction recordedby this apparatus possessed a highrelation to the length of time thatthe advertisement woulld be remem-bered.

David Wechsler, a German, saysthere is a distinct difference betweenthe responses of patients sufferingfrom various types of mental diseases.He has used the psycho-galvanometerto determine these differences. Re-search is now progressing to deter-mine its use-as a factor in apprehend-ing the guilt of a person charged withcriminality.

At a meeting of' Experimental Psy-chologists at Northwestern University

last year the machine was exhibitedand described by Hathaway. Severalleading psychiatrists at that time asked

for sets, which are now being built.Another exhibition of the psycho-galvanic will be made at the Aineri-acan Association of Psychologists toconvene in Columbus in December ofthis year.

In one of the editorials in McGi llDaily it is estimated that the averagesalary of the football coach of a largeuniversity is about $45,000, of a ranlk-ing professor $6000, of an average pro-.fessor $3000, and of a lecturer $1000.

NEW RADIO STATIONNEARS COMPLETION

Work is progressing favorably onTechnology's latest radio station whichis being built on Institute property be-hind the Coop store, and the station isexpected to be in operation within afew weeks. This station is being builtby the Communications branch of theElectrical Engineering Department forthe purpose of carrying out tests andexperiments on transmitting and re-ceiving apparatus.

The Mwooden building which wvillhouse the station equipment has beencompleted, and antenna equipment. isin the process of erection. Once thepower supply is definitely decided on,generators, transmitters and attendantapparatus will be installed. Mean-while, as soon1 as an antenna is avail-able it is planned to carry on sometests with. receiving equipment.

Princeton Sends40 Love Letters

To Vassar DailyWellesley, Bryn Mawr Close

Rivals For Second PlaceIn Tiger Hearts

That Princeton is by no means alIaggard when it comes to wooing bymail is shown by the following articletaken. from the Daily Princetonizan ofNovember 28. Whether the universityis at all able to keep up with theexample set by Technology men mustremain a question, as such a gather-ing of statistics is an impossibilityamong the scattered groups that at-tenld the Institute.

"Love, like a crescent moon, waxesand wanes with the seasons. Prince-|ton love, as' Judged by its letters,1 wanes noticeably just before the glad- some, but costly C~hristiiag-holidays.'

"Forty epistles a day, affectionateor otherwise, comprise thie approxi-mate usual allotment of mail fromPrinceton to Vassar. Thirty a day isthe average for both Wellesley andBryn Mawr. But strangely enough,dulring the period of two or threeweeks preceding Christmas, the fall-ing off of masculine attention isstartling.

"Instead of the constan't stream ofverbiage 'bound north for feminineinstitutions of higher learning, meredriblets of mail are then turned inIat the Post Office. Nor do conditionsreturn to normal till well after theYuletide season.

"Tllis pre-Christmas deflation] is byno means coincidence, in the opinionof Post Office clerks, who with a greatair of knowingness see in it deepermeaning. Not until well after Christ-mas has passed, according to theirword, and with it all necessity of plan-ning gifts, do the pens of Princetonstudents hasten again with faciletouch across neatly monogramed pagesof stylish stationery.l"Week-ends of proms and of football

games are the times of heaviest corsrespondence, while Sunday is the mostpopular day of the week f or epis-tolary creation. Vassar, f or example,claims about 100 letters every Sun-day night, completely outdistancingher nearest rivals, Wellesley andlBryn -Mawr, which vie f or secondplazee in the hearts of Tiger under--graduates."-Thde Daily Princetonzanz.
