COLLEGE PARADE BY ROBERT L E M E N S E

The first Parade this year lamented the lack of material. Now the moan is just the opposite. After we went through a week's exchanges trjdng to find some-thing to pass off on the general public in this column, the room looked like the central disposal point for all the waste-paper in the University. The other night we had a terrible nightmare about being smothered to death in a huge, mountain-like pile of newspapers, and woke up to find two Indiana Daily Students, a Plainsman, some Daily Texans, and an Ohio State Lantern in bed with me.

Bring your own brass knuckles Those who disapprove of the Washing-

ton Hall movie rush had better not transfer to the University of Hawaii. This article in the school's paper, Ka Leo a Hawaii, appealed to our sanguine appetite. The heading was, "Missiles and animals barred in flag rush." Then came the sub-heading, "Hazing Committee sets rules."

"All participants in this afternoon's fray will be expected to abide by the following rules set up by the hazing committee:

1. No hard missiles of any kind are to be used. For example: avocadoes, rocks, billiard balls.

2. No clubs, belts, ropes, etc., are to be used.

3. Referees, who will be conspicuously identified, are not to be interfered with in any way.

4. No shoes are to be worn in the flag rush.

5. Women are excluded from the flag rush.

6. There shall be no animal life used, dead or alive."

Plea for Purge at Temple An editorial in the Temple University

Netvs advises the student body and Uni-versity authorities that "forewarned is forearmed." Last year a radical group of students were barred from campus activity. This year the same group is attempting to reorganize under the title of "United Front." The group claims to have changed its views from last year, but the Neivs warns:

"We are not sure what it means by a 'United Front,' but if it is anything like the past activities of the organiza-tion, we are sure the University wants none of it.

"It is of course only a coincidence that this change of heart occurs after Soviet Russia has become a bedfellow of the United States and Great Britain, and Soviet agents are saying that they have been against Hitler all along.

"Even so, we caution the Commission and the student body to think twice and take into account past records before considering proposals brought forth by any group which has made a strange and complete change of policy."

WHAT!

THE WEEK BY JIM O'LAUGHLIN

Top of the Week: Saturday noon to Monday night

•

Near Catastrophe: Football week-ends bring relatives and

friends from all over the country. One sophomore, Omer Sturm, who lives in Morrissey Hall, was caught by the ex-citement of the Arizona game, and made plans to have his girl come up for the Indiana contest. So far, so good—^but mademoiselle decided that the trip would be very lonely, so she brought niiie girl friends along.

Then Omer couldn't get them any rooms in South Bend, so the gals had to catch their "winks" at Plymouth, Ind., which is a small metropolis about 26 miles from here! Next came the prob-lem of dates for Saturday night. Omer fixed up five of the tminvited visitors, but that was the best he could do—and the rains played on. Evidently the "fems" didn't like that, and they all came near not putting in an appearance, which would have established some sort of a record for an N. B. man just imagine—^if one fellow were stood up by ten girls on the same night!

Hide Your Face, Jim! "I think that plan has untold possi-

bilities.

Didn't Even Wait Till Saturday. . . .

••'The Week" found occasion to drop in-to the Postoffice last Friday. Noticing a SCHOLASTIC mailing envelope in the waste basket, we investigated further and also found the SCHOLASTIC which had been distributed that same day. The name on the envelope was that of a popular English professor.

Boner of the Week: Names are omitted from this tale

for very obvious reasons. I t seems that two Seniors were doing the town one afternoon when they bumped into a

mutual friend—yes a gal—^who was ac-companied by her girl friend. Well, in-troductions were made and like all N.D. men, this pair failed to catch the strang-er's last name. The quartet then hustled to the nearest fountain for cokes. While chewing ice and pufiing cigarettes, the Seniors entertained—so they thought— their guests by mimicking and condemn-ing a certain N.D. prof. As they reached the crescendo of their hilarity, their newly-made acquaintance stood up and while reaching for her purse, bellowed: "Pardon -me, but that man is my father!"

FINAL PLANS COMPLETED FOR ADVERTISING COURSE

"Notre Dame has received an exclusive grant to conduct classes in Outdoor Ad-vertising—and Notre Dame is the only University in the country which has such a course," Dean James E. McCarthy of the College of Commerce announced this week after he returned from represent-ing the school at the Golden Anniversary Convention of the Outdoor Advertising Association of America, Inc., at Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 5-10.

Dean McCarthy stated that, due to certain changes in policy, eligibility for instruction in the special class in out-door advertising ^vill be extended to a limited number of juniors. Consequently letters of application from both seniors and juniors will be accepted up to and including Saturday of this week.

While at the Los Angeles convention. Dean McCarthy took a prominent part in the program entitled, "Public Rela-tions," held on Oct. 8. He described the nature and type of instruction which the selected candidates will receive at Notre Dame. Between 400 and 500 at-tended the convention. Speaking on the same program with Dean McCarthy were such outstanding figures in the Outdoor Advertising field as E. C. Donnelly, Jr., presiding officer and president of John Donnelly and Sons; Merle L. McGinnis, educational director of Braun and Co.; Charles W. Collier, managing director of the Pacific Advertising Association; Henry T. Ewald, president of the Camp-bell-Ewald Co., Inc., and chairman of the board. National Outdoor Advertising Bureau; and Dr. Miller McClintock, au-ditor, traffic audit bureau.

According to present plans, selection of seniors and juniors for the full year course will be made within the next week. Day classes are to begin the week of Oct. 26 with members of the resident faculty, Dean McCarthy, the Rev. Thom-as A. Lahey, C.S.C, and Herbert F . Klingman, all of the College of Com-merce, in charge.

From time to time many executives of the outdoor advertising field, including

some who attended the Los Angeles con-vention, will visit Notre Dame to lecture, supervise and otherwise help in conduct-ing the course.—Bill Scanlan

32 Candidates Undergo Monogram Club Initiation

The Monogram club held its first meet-ing last week. Paul LiUis, football cap-tain, acted as president, as no officer had been elected by last year's club. First bit of business was the election of new officers. Hercules Bereolos was named president; Bob Hargrave, vice-president; and Ed Sullivan, secretary - treasurer. All three are members of the football squad.

Initiations for 32 candidates for the club was the main topic of discussion. Jim Brutz and Bob Dove, because of their gentle and brotherly attitude, were placed in charge. Immediately the two steel workers from Youngstown, Ohio, went into a huddle and called for a

meeting of aU prospective members. The meeting was held in the fieldhouse where Brutz and Dove explained their strategy behind the coming initiation. Brutz stated that in view of the national emer-gency, he felt that the Monogram club should do its bit for national defense and so established the "draftee theme."

Clean Shirts Part of Initiation

All candidates were to secure a pop-ĝ un and soldier hat, plus a bow tie, clean shirt and suit coat. The lower part of the uniform was to be supplied by Quartermaster J. W. McAllister, con-sisting of a pair of sweat pants cut off at the knees and high baseball stockings. The footwear consists of one white and one black shoe to guide their feet while on sentry duty.

The Monogram's own R.O.T.C. mem-bers were to live the life of an active soldier, rising at 5 ajn., followed by a cool wash in the lake. The campus "cadets" were instructed in the manual of arms and the correct way of address-ing Monogram members. Major Bratz and Major Dove then closed the meeting with a pep talk on the need of great Monogram club members in these hard times and a reminder that court would be held Wednesday night for all delin-quents.

All candidates were advised to secure paddles in the event that reprisals were meted out by the Monogram court. Rituals were slated for Sunday after-noon. The 32 candidate members "include:

Baseball: Fischer, Metzger, Nowicki, Mike Kelly and Campagna.

Basketball: Quinn, Butler, Singer, Captain Pope.

Track: Riordan, Dillon, OUourke, Delaney, Fehlig, Hunter, Conforti, Ma-loney. Smith, Vicars, Wdtoff, Tnpta, Gibson and Nicholson.

Managers: William KeHy, Berming-ham, Meehan, Carr, Walsh, Stewart, Baurer and Morrison.

Cheer leader: Ted McDonald. Football Monogram winners will be

initiated later in the year, after the con-clusion of the football season.

'Farewell! To you, Indian Summer" .

ADMINISTRATION

COURSES IN PLANT SAFETY BEGUN AT NOTRE DAME

With many of her sons answering the clarion call of military service, the of-ficials of Notre Dame do not feel that their job for Uncle Sam is yet completed. Not content with the inauguration of the Naval R.O.T.C., Notre Dame has taken one more step in the march of national defense.

Beginning last week, under the finan-cial direction of the United States Office of Education as a project in its defense training course, classes in plant safety were instituted here at the University. The course will consist of 12 lessons cov-ering the history of the safety movement and its significance, problems of human behavior in safety work, the cost of acci-dents, and practical points in accident prevention. The course is under the su-pervision of Rev. James D. Trahey, formerly prefect of discipline, and class-es will be conducted from 7 till 9 p.m. twice weekly. Prof. J. A. Northcott, Jr., will be in personal charge of the course.

A notable commentary on this new approach to the national safety and well-being of factory workers is the profi-ciency and suitability of its staif of two instructors. They are well-versed men chosen from their appropriate fields of endeavor to which they have devoted their lives. B. A. Grainger, safety engi-neer of the Bendix Products division; and J. J. Eaytkich, safety engineer of the Mishawaka Eubber and Woolen Man-ufacturing Co. constitute the teaching staff. As supplementary training, sound films and slides will be used.

Fr. Trahey believes that the progress of efficiency in industrial production will be the deciding factor in the present war. It is pointed out by Fr . Trahey that in this war 18 men "at home" are needed to keep one man at the front, as compared with five men per soldier for the first so called Great War. Re-gardless of the political issues of iso-lation or intervention, the fact remains, that we are in an emergency for which we are unprepared, and the only reason-able thing to do is to build up our de-fenses as rapidly as possible.

Last year Congress appropriated money to train approximately 135,000 men and this year an additional appro-priation will provide for the training of about 300,000 workers.

More than 75 applications have been received by the University for these classes, necessitating the formation of two divisions.

REV. JAMES D . TRAHEY, C.S.C.

Father Cunningham at Meeting In Washington

Finally swinging into action on a com-mittee appointment that he became aware of late last spring, the Rev. Wil-liam F. Cuunningham, C.S.C, attended last week-end the first meeting in Wash-ington, D. C, of the general advisory committee on Inter-American Education-al Relations of the United States office of Education, made up of 12 of the leading educators in the country.

Outstanding among the other members of the committee are: Leo S. Rowe, di-rector of the Pan American Union in Washington, D. C, Herbert E. Bolton, of the University of California's famous department of South American history, a man reputed to be the outstanding ex-pert on the subject in the country; and Francis Spaulding, dean of School of Education, Harvard University. Eight members of the U. S. Office of Education committee also attended the sessions.

The opening sessions of the meeting were occupied with reports by the heads of U. S. Inter-American organizations on the work their organizations are do-ing. The opening report was delivered by the U. S. Commissioner of Education. After this brief Inter-American report a discussion took place on the present efforts of the U. S. Department of Edu-cation in this field. Present efforts ap-preciated, suggestions will be forthcom-ing on other procedures. The final meet-ing on Saturday closed with a stmunary of tentative statements of proposed of-fice programs.

Social Work Training Essential, Says Hess

Loren J. Hess, chief probation officer of the St. Joseph" circuit and superior courts, and a faculty member of the de-partment of sociology, participated in a panel discussion, "The Function of Pro-bation," at the meeting of the Chicago Academy of Criminology, held at the Medical and Dental Arts club, Chicago, on Friday evening, Oct. 10, 1941.

The discussion was led by Mr. Richard A. Chappell, U. S. chief of probation, Washington, D. C. Other members of the panel were Hon. Jacob Braude, judge of the municipal court of Chicago and Thomas D. Eliot, professor of sociol-ogy, Northwestern University.

Mr. Hess confined his' remarks to the subject of "Probation Personnel." He pointed out that while personnel stand-ards in the field of probation are ex-tremely low generally, there are a few probation departments which are leading the way to the acceptance of the view that professional social work training is an essential in sound probation work. According to Mr, Hess, "We can hardly accept the untrained probation officer, no matter how pleasing his job, as he will not be able to define problems, nor to use commimity resources xmless he has benefitted by training in an approved school of social work, which training must include supervised field work." He advocated as a minimum at least one full year of graduate work in a school of social work and suggested that pros-pective probation officers complete a three months period of intemeship at a recognized probation or parole depart-ment or in an acceptable correctional institution.

Prof. Flynn Reappointed To State Parole Board

Professor Frank T, Flynn, assistant professor of social work and a member of the American Association of Social Workers, was reappointed this past August to the board of trustees at the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. Mr. Flynn has been a member of the board since 1937.

The four members of the board of trustees, who are appointed annually by the governor of Indiana, care for the administration of the prison and admin-ister the parole system within the limits set by the state legislature. The board meets twice a month for 16 or 18 hours to discuss administration and hear parole cases.

I t was Mr. Flynn's work in sociology, which branches into criminology, that has brought him five successive appoint-ments to the board. During his first three years on the board of trustees Professor Flynn v/as also manager of the South Bend Community Fund and executive secretary of the South Bend Council of Social Agencies.

Final Centennial Plans Under Consideration

Eev. John J. Cavanaugh, C.S.C, gen-eral chairman of the Centennial, reports that much progress has been made on the plans for the observation of Notre Dame's 100th Anniversary.

Opening officially with the September of 1942, the Centennial program will move in a majestic series of events to its close in the September of 1943.

Sub-committees made their plans and reports to the general chairman during the summer just ended. The general com-mittee is now making from these color-ful pieces, the pattern which will bring world attention to Notre Dame next year.

Announcements in detail of the Cen-tennial program wiU be made soon, and alumni and friends will be acquainted with the development of the many splen-did phases under consideration.

In the meantime. Father Cavanaugh urges students with any suggestions for making the Centennial memorable, to submit these to the Centennial commit-tee while there is still time to fit them in. Once the program is annoimced, time will demand such intensive attention to its performance that new features will be practically impossible, no matter what their merit.

America is Shelter of World—Dean Manion

In a talk at Indianapolis, Ind., Dr. Clarence Manion, dean of the College of Law, stated that Coumbus on his voy-age of discovery was di\anely directed that America mighc become a haven of refuge for all of God's creatures.

To the congested and strife-torn coun-tries of Europe, America is and has been in the past a sort of practical

DEAN CLARENCE E . MANION

Utopia where the bonds of race, color and creed are practically non-existent, and oppoi'tunity is limited only by a man's ability. In this light, then, Colum-bus' discovery of America was a divine-ly directed act, providing an outlet and release for some of the cares of a trou-bled mankind. This was the substance of Dr. Manion's address in the Knights of Columbus auditorium in Indianapolis.

Dr. Manion asserted that there are more nationalities represented in the city of Gary, Ind., than there are in the present European war. The people of Gary and hundreds of similar American cities are not in continual conflict, how-ever, because they are recognized as be-ing created equal in the eyes of God. "You can't exterminate a Jew, a Pole, or a Czech and admit that all men are created equal," he said.

Dean Manion is also a member of the national committee of the America First comittee. The announcement of his ap-pointment was made this week by Gen. Eobert E. Wood, chairman of the na-tional committee of America First. A vigorous campaign is planned against the changes in the present neutrality legislation.

The Trail of Death A vivid story of the work of early

missionaries among the Indians of north-ern Indiana, and the removal of the last of the Potawottamies from this section is told in the letters of Father Benjamin Marie Petit, last of the missionaries at Notre Dame before Father Sorin. These letters are incorporated in a book re-cently published by the Indiana Histori-cal Society in a volume entitled, "The Trail of Death."

The title is derived from the last trek of the straggling Indian tribe to their new reservation on the Osage Eiver in Kansas. The hardships and tremendous obstacles to which many of the hapless Indians succumbed on the journey, and the feelings of Father Petit, who volun-tarily accompanied them to their new home, are given in detail in the letters written by Father Petit to his Bishop and to his family in France.

This final expulsion of the Indians in 1837 climaxed a series of such mass emigrations forced on the tribes of Indi-ana, Michigan and a large part of north-ern Illinois by the federal government, A courageous ally and constant source of counsel and succor to the Indians were the missionaries of this territorj'. One of these was Father Stephen T. Badin, who resided in and about Notre Dame from 1830 to 1835. I t was he who built the first log chapel at the eastern end of St. Mary's Lake, a repli-ca of which now stands on the exact spot. Father Badin also began the work which was to climax in the founding of the University of Notre Dame seven years later.

In 1833 Father Badin was joined by Father Louis Deseille, a Flemish priest who remained until 1873, actively pro-tecting the Indians from unscrupulous government agents. He was finally ordered to leave the reserve by Colonel Pepper, government Indian agent in the territory. Father Deseille, however, re-mained in the vicinity and died a few months later, on Sept. 26, 1837.

It was then that Bishop Brute ordained and sent Father Petit, a young French priest, recently arrived in this country, to take his place among the Indians. Petit was born April 8, 1811 at Rennes, France, Brute's native city. He was graduated from the University of Rennes in 1829 and made a brilliant record at the law school from which he graduated in 1832. After three success-ful years at the bar, he renounced his profession to enter the Seminary of St. Sulpice to become a priest.

It was shortly thereafter that he ac-companied his beloved Bishop, to the New World, against the entreaties of his

Sunken Treasure at N. D. Sources close to the University re-

vealed this week, that the waters of St. Joseph's Lake, or perhaps it is St. Mary's, our informant was vague on this point, conceal untold wealth in gold and jewels. These usually reliable sources re-ported that the treasure, which consists of an undetermined amount of gold bul-lion and precious gems, has lain un-touched on the lake bottom for over a quarter of a century.

The story of this sunken treasure reads like fiction; perhaps it is. Around the middle of the nineteenth century, before the time of even the hoary and ancient seniors, Napoleon III, impressed by Father Serin's work in the New World, donated a priceless gold crown to adorn a statue of the Blessed Lady. The 24 carat gold, or however many carats are in pure gold, was encrusted with scores of rare and costly gems; masterpieces of the lapidists' art.

By some prank of Fate, this priceless "objet d'art" was lost sight of for many years and well-nigh forgotten. I t lay in the attic of the Main building for de-cades, before someone ran across it and was inspired to use it as a prop in plays given at Washington Hall. In this role the ornament was used and abused while unsuspecting student thespians literally carried a fortune around on their heads. In its generosity, the University often loaned the crown to high schools in South Bend where it received further careless treatment. Ultimately, when the tjrpe of play in which the crown was used became unpopular, the precious diadem was discarded, this time to the rubbish heap.

From here on the story reads like the Sunday Supplement. Around the time that the crown was discarded, people be-came aware of its existence. A frenzied chase ensued, similar to those in the old "mellerdrammers" where pursuers are always one step behind pursued until the last act where justice triimiphs and virtue has its own reward. In this case, however, the story did not end so hap-pily. Just as the sleuths had nearly caught up with the elusive trinket, it found its way via garbage can and rub-bish heap to the University incinerator. We can imagine them arriving breath-less, with "Stop the presses," or some such applicable expression on their lips, only to find that the treasure had once again escaped them. I t had been burnt with the refuse and been consigned to the bottom of the lake. There it rests today.

For identification purposes, a replica of the crown may be seen in the Sacristy of Sacred Heart Church. Though in no

way rivaling the beauty and grandeur of the original, it provides a good idea of the nature of the treasure which now adorns the bottom of St. Joseph's Lake.

Fact, fiction or rumor, it is an extra-ordinary tale. The SCHOLASTIC has it from reliable sources that certain mer-chants in South Bend are offering some excellent bargains in good used diving suits, and operations are expected to be commenced when the ice floes have left for wherever ice floes go in the summer time. Furthermore, the SCHOLASTIC as-sumes no responsibility for cases of colds, pneumonia, chilblains or bends re-sulting from the frenzied search for easy wealth which will ineAatably ensue, when this story becomes public.

Fr. Trahey To Attend Dr. Harmon's Inaugural

Rev. James D. Trahey, C.S.C., defense coordinator at the University, will be the University's oflicial representative Oct. 17 at the inauguration of Dr. Henry G. Harmon as seventh president of Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa. The cere-monies will be held in the University Church of Christ on the Drake campus at 3 p.m.

Dr. Arthur H. Compton, head of the department of physics and dean of the physical sciences division at the Univer-sity of Chicago, Nobel prize winner and perhaps the world's foremost experi-mentalist in radiant energy, will be the inaugural speaker.

Dr. Harmon succeeds the late Dr. Dan-iel W. Morehouse, eminent astronomer and president of Drake since 1923, whose death last January ended 40 years of service to the university.

The first three games of Notre Dame's football schedule have been broadcast by a conunercial sponsor under restrictions established by the Rev. John J. Cavan-augh, C.S.C, vice president of the Uni-versity and chairman of the faculty board in control of athletics.

Permission for the broadcasts have been granted, up to the limit of existing facilities, on the basis of the size of networks or stations requesting such permission, and without respect to whether the broadcasts are commercial or non-commercial.

The University maintains strict con-trol over the number, type, and length of commercial announcements; and the products and services advertised must be in keeping with the dignity and pro-priety of the University, Father Cavan-augh said.

While no charge is made for unspon-sored broadcasts, stations making com-mercial broadcasts are charged a fee, these revenues going for the construc-tion and maintenance of radio booths. No exclusive rights have been sold to any station or sponsor. Any profits in this connection go into the general fund of the University along with other ath-letic profits, to offset partially, Notre Dame's lack of large endowment, and to help fulfill the more existing needs of the University.

European Students Gain Degrees Earlier

Some interesting comparisons between the carefully regulated student life in America and the more or less free and easy scholastic life in Europe before the war, were given this week by Prof. James .Fitzgerald of the philosophy de-partment.

After Prof. Fitzgerald's imdergradu-ate days at Boston College, he went to the University of Louvain in Belgium. There he found the hopelessness conmaon to the carefully nurtured American stu-dent on coming in contact with a com-pletely impersonal system. The function of the teacher in this system consisted in the careful preparation of a well de-*veloped lecture. To help matters along, the whole thing was in French and al-though Prof. Rtzgerald had a working knowledge of the language, he foimd after the first two or three lectures that his working knowledge wasn't working so well. There were no definite assign-ments and the student was, in every sense of the word, on his own.

All of the graduate students lived in apartments, usually in small groups with private famiies. Student life cen-tered on the continental version of the celebrated American "bull session." The general tendency of these discussions was to view the problem in the student's field of work from the practical point of view. Since most of Prof. Fitzgerald's friends were medical students, it is not unlikely that a great many unfortunate individuals were dissected over the din-ner table.

The combination of the impersonal system and the seriousness of the stu-dent contacts probably explains in part the tremendous self discipline the meth-od develops. The European student is likely to be more mature and to gain his degree at an earlier age than the Amer-ican student.

The disadvantage of the system in-cludes the impossibility of anticipating the questions on the aU-important final examination and the likelihood that the pleasant customs of coffee drinking'and card playing will interfere seriously with the student's studies.

DEATH TRAP LAST Saturday night we had a good close look at the

famous "death-trap" that exists at that point on the Dixie highway near the St. Mary's entrance. We came away con-vinced that the most important thing the University Admin-istration, South Bend's Mayor Jesse I. Pavey and- the St. Joseph valley Notre Dame club can do right now is to take measures to lessen or eliminate this hazard to the life and limb of students of both Notre Dame and St. Mary's.

Last Saturday night was not extraordinary. There was the usual traffic between South Bend and Niles, six lanes of speeding automobiles. There was also the usual minority in the out-going traffic, while fifteen or twenty cabs that had edged out to the left lane of traffic to make the turn into St. Mary's were moving very slowly or entirely stationary in this very mobile traffic lane, waiting for a lull in the on-coming riish of cars. With the essential elements of a good trap present, it didn't take long for what was almost Death to appear. An automobile in the out-going traffic came speeding on to the scene. The driver, caught off guard at the sight of the string of cars stalled in the "fast" lane, applied the brakes, wheeled his car away from the stationary cabs, skidded side-ways past them amid the terrifying squeal of scorched tires and careened across the in-coming traffic-lane to come to an indestructive stop near the entrance. Fortunately for the twenty-five or thirty people within ten feet of the skidding automobile, there was no physical damage done.

It carmot be promised that students of Notre Dame and St. Mary's will continue to be as fortunate as long as the con-ditions which made possible this near-accident are allowed to prevail.

At present the only regulation affecting the hazard is an elastic diirty-mile speed limit. Any number of additional de-vices would seem to be helpful in reducing the hazard. Prime help would be the enforcing of a fifteen or twenty-mile limit sudi as guaranteed in ordinary "School Zones." Every rural school with enrollments from fifteen to one-hundred and fifty have these protective zones which are respected on even the busiest traffic arteries. Yet students of the University and of St. Mary's are placed on unequal terms with the Dixie High-way.

What is certainly needed at the College entrance b the installation of inexpensive amber lights which will enable

the traffic minority to get across and also slow down speeding automobiles

Whatever the traffic measures enforced, the University and the St. Joe Valley Notre Dame Club, should see to it that Mayor Pavey is aware of it, and does something to re-move the hazard.

QUIZ KIDS AT THE MOVIES THEY'RE at it again! Those clever, Httle fellows who

channed us so at the pep raUies have been offering their talent at Washington Hall every Saturday night. We're almost proud of them. In their own way they are unique—the only persons in the world who are completely unfettered by the bonds of good manners. Full of a sort of nauseating good cheer, they bounce merrily along the high road of boorishness.

We could summon a fairly lengthy list of adjectives to apply to these fugitives from a kindergarten. Stupid, elephan-tine, coarse, vulgar, moronic, childish, adolescent, are just fair samples. But it really is only a waste of time. They thrive on abuse.

Let us suggest a different angle. The next time some over-grown child explodes in ecstasy at the mention of his home town, or bounces up and down in his seat screaming and whistling when some girl crosses the screen, simply turn around and say: "Grow up, buddy!" It's twice as effective as a snarled "Quiet!"

One thing is certain. For our own integrity we must put a stop to these spoiled brats. Otherwise they will be en-couraged by this tacit approval and may even fancy them-selves to be Notre Dame men. That would be something we could never tolerate.

A REMINDER BECAUSE, in a few instances, we have found that the SCHO-

LASTIC'S poUcy was not fully understood, we wish to state again that our sole aim is to make this a student magazine representative of student opinion. We have no intention of "leading" student reaction but only "reflecting" it. We mani-festly do not intend to initiate controversies, but rather to present the student viewpoint when such controversy has arisen. We shall always strive to be the mirror and not the lens of campus life.

REAR ADMIRAL TOPS NAVY DAY PROGRAM

bers of the Notre Dame Naval Officers Reserve Corps, makes its appearance. The paper, an eight-page mimeographed bulletin, will be edited by Stewart F. Murphy of Brownson Hall, who was elected to the post last week by members of the corps. The remainder of the staff is tentative and will not be definitely chosen until after the first few issues have appeared.

The title of the paper is particularly apt, for in naval jargon an Irish pen-n.int is the name for any loose rigging aboard a ship. The aim of the new mag-agine is to publish certain "Loose ends" o1' news concerning the naval reserve corps here, naval news which does not find its way into other local papers, and to keep the reservists informed on nu-merous naval developments which do not appear in the work of the classroom. A humor section also is planned. The first issue will appear on or about Navy Day, October 27.

A rifle range has been set up, and almost completely equipped, in the space under the stands near gate 14 of the Notre Dame Stadium. Naval Eeservists are already at work on their marksman-ship and have received several challenges of matches from nearby naval reserve schools.

The range will be open to other stu-dents at the University, according to Captain H. B. Burnett of the Notre Dame R.O.T.C. unit. Those students not enrolled in the corps, however, will have to furnish their own ammunition for the .22 long rifles which will be used in the range.—Dick Kilmer

An address by Rear Admiral C. W. Nimitz, U.S.N., will highlight the first observation of Navy Day at Notre Dame, on Monday, Oct. 27. The cere-monies will be the first since the estab-lishment of a Naval Reserve Officers Training Corps on the campus this fall.

Commander F. M. McWhirter, U.S.N., commander of the Indiana Navy Area, and Paul E. Fisher, Indiana Navy Day chairman, will meet Rear Admiral Nim-itz at Plymouth to escort him to Notre Dame, where he is scheduled to address the student body and members of the faculty at 11:00 a.m. in Washington Hall. Freshmen classes will be suspend-ed for the address, and all other stu-dents who are free at 11 o'clock are urged to attend. Rear Admiral Nimitz will be the honor guest of President J. Hugh O'Donnell, C.S.C, at luncheon and shortly after will go to Indianapolis to administer the Naval Oath to men re-cruited for the Navy by the American Legion. This ceremony will take place on the steps of the Soldiers and Sailors monument in Indianapolis.

Plans are as yet incomplete for the celebration of Navy Day at Notre Dame, but members of the Naval Reserve Unit here will parade, if their recently-ordered uniforms are available. Next week's SCHOLASTIC will carry a com-plete program of events for the celebra-tion of Navy Day.

Another announcement from Naval headquarters forecast competition with THE SCHOLASTIC for next Aveek when the first issue of The Irish Pennant, a newspaper published and edited by mem-

Central Illinois Club The newly reorganized "Central Illi-

nois Club" will hold its first "mixer meeting" of the schoolyear on Wednes-day evening, October 22, at 7:10 in room 117 of the Main Building. The short program will include election of officers and discussion of activities for the coming year. All those from cen-tral Illinois are urged to attend!

Speakers Bureau Gets Activities Under Way

A new determination manifested it-self at the last meeting of the Notre Dame Speakers' bureau. After two years of struggling through ups and downs, a good, solid group which has been thor-oughly tested remains. Upon this foun-dation there are hopes of building a really great organization. A constitution, which had been neglected up to now, was drawn up. Each member eagerly con-tributed his ideas in the completion of this doctunent. Enthusiasm was in-creased as President John Specht of Chicago, lU., related to the small, effi-cient group the importance of the work. Rev. John Regis O'Neil, C.S.C, founder and religious adviser of the organization, expressed his gratitude for the interest shown by the members.

Secretary - treasurer C. S. Coco, of Lake Charles, La., announced that con-tact has been made with approximately 20 parishes in and around South Bend. A few of the speakers have already been called upon this year. At present, a new system, which aims to create a greater interest and participation on the part of the audience, is being tested. For this system to fimction, not one, but two speakers are present at each gathering. The main speaker discusses the prin-ciples and fundamentals of the topic for some 20 minutes. At this point his as-sistant breaks in with a question or two. Others should begin to take part in the discussion as this continues. If not, the assistant turns and questions the audi-ence directly, or he may take the oppo-site point of view and make necessary the defense of the declared proposition. In this way, all are urged to take an active part in the meeting. This system was first introduced at St. Joseph's par-ish on the evening .of Oct. 8 and proved a great success.

The list of speeches has been augment-

11

ed and only those which have appeal to the various organizations addressed are prepared.

Several applications for membership have been received by the organization. The procedure for admittance is as fol-lows: First, an interview with Father O'NeU. The applicant, if considered cap-able, Avill be assigned a subject for a talk. Secondly, this talk, about 15 or 20 minutes, is given to the members of the organization at their next meeting. The members are the ones who give the final vote of acceptance or rejection. Those now applying for membership are James Poinsatte of Fort Wayne, "Ind., and Mark McGrath of the Canal Zone.

Present members of the organization are John Specht, C. S. Coco, John Utz, Rochester, Minn.; Bill Lawless, Buffalo, N. Y.; Frank King, Jamaica, N. Y.; Gerald Gaffney, New York City, aiid John Malone, Toledo, Ohio.—C. S. Coco

Soph Urges Catholicism Basis for Pan-America Link

Urging that the United States open its eyes to the depth of Catholic senti-ment in Pan-American countries, Mark McGrath, a Notre Dame student from Ancon, Canal Zone, addressed the men of Holy Cross parish. South Bend at a Communion breakfast in the Holy Cross auditorium Sunday morning.

McGrath, a member of the Notre Dame Speaker's Bureau stated, in order that the United States reach a sincere and lasting union with Latin America, it must appeal to the people of the Latin nations. He pointed out that a strong uniting factor must be found— •"a factor that will urge these people to sacrifice some national interests for the Pan-American ideaL" This, according to McGrath, must be a truly substantial element and not the expedient and su-perficial cajoling of political alliances. These alliances were cited by McGrath as "made with South American leaders who have not the moral backing of their people."

Having pointed out that Latin Amer-ica is 95 per cent Catholic, although a majority of its leaders are liberal and atheistic, McGrath urged that this fac-tor would do nothing for Catholicism. He stressed the importance of the United States opening its eyes to the depth of Catholic sentiment in the Latin nations, stating that if this were done our coun-try's ambassadors would "be Catholic, or at least informed and appreciative of Catholicism." Then, Mr. McGrath stated, our country's members on Pan-American committees would not be materialists, liberalists, and atheists of all degrees; nor would its ambassadors of good will be loose-moraled, divorced motion pic-ture actors.

McGrath concluded his address by re-marking that "only through Catholicism can we expect a warm handclasp from the people of South America instead of the present transitory commercial and pseudo-education alliances with its self-appointed leaders."—Dave Condon

Wranglers Interview Membership Applicants

Came the call this week from the AVranglers for membership applications and interhall debate aspirants. The

Wranglers, an hon-orary campus foren-sic society, held its first meeting of the 1941 - '42 schoolyear last Thursday. Main business at this meet was the appointing of the various com-mittees for the year. The two committees with the most cur-

rent business are the membership and interhall debating groups. Charles Kear-ney is chairman of the former. Member-ship applicants are first given private interviews, then those Avho survive are asked to speak at a meeting of the entire club. At this meeting the final vote is taken.

Stanley Littizette is chairman of in-terhall debate, assisted by Mark Lies. Calls for interhall debaters went out this week. Within another week the first round schedules will be ready. Last year. Alumni Hall talked its way through to the interhall supremacy. A hall trophy is awarded to the A'ictor in the interhall finals.

President of the Wranglers, William Meier, who also heads the Economic Round Table, is a varsity debater and holds the highest average in the Uni-versity, 96.12. Prof. Francis J. O'Malley is faculty moderator of the organization. The Wranglers meet every Thursday at which time a paper is presented by some member of the club. The papers, usually on controversial current topics, are then discussed by the other members of the club.—Robert LeMense

Initial Meeting of Round Table Held

At the Rose Marie Tea Room, every Wednesday, there meets a group of Notre Dame men to eat — yes, but pri-marily to discuss the pro and con of the present day economic situation. The group is chartered under the name of the Economic Round Table. Last Wed-

nesday the first of these meetings for this year was held.

The initial meeting was concerned mostly with setting up the various com-mittees to carry on the club work dur-ing the year. The membership committee has already gone into action and the an-nouncement of the newly-admitted mem-bers was scheduled for some time this week. Each applicant was given a pre-liminary intei-view.

First paper of the year was read Wed-nesday by Dave Johnson. This paper presentation is a weekly affair of the group. Each member presents at least one during the course and then acts as a quasi middle man in the ensuing dis-cussion on the subject.

William Meier, whose accomplishments are mentioned in another article in this issue, is president of the Round Table. Professor WiUiam DoAvney, head of the department of economics, is the faculty ad\asor of the group.

Song Writing Team Plans New Musical Comedy

Upperclassmen and the South Benders who nearly split their sides laughing at "It Never Rains," musical comedy of last year, will be given an opportunity to complete the job, since a show of the same caliber is being planned for the coming year.

While the majority of the cast of last year's show, a parody on the draft, have graduated, married, or ironically enough, been drafted, there still remains a nucleus which should be capable of stag-ing an equally successful comedy this year. Dick Hines and John Kelley, the song-writing team that was laregly re-sponsible for the success of the first show, are now laboring over musical scores in preparation for 'the coming show. Ed Walsh, a senior manager, and Dave Curtan, cheerleader, who were as-sociated with last year's production are also working hard to insure another suc-cess.

Last year's show was independent of any connection with the University, and was produced in Central High auditor-ium at South Bend, with several girls from the high school acting in the fem-inine parts.

Some idea of the success of the show may be gathered from the fact that the proceeds amounted to approximately $1,500, all of which was donated to "Bundles for Britain." In addition to this material donation, the comedy con-tributed much towards promoting good feeling between the student body and the populace of South Bend.

Members of Propeller Club Hold Meeting

The first meeting for the year of the Notre Dame Port of the Propeller Club was held recently. Frederick Paulmann was chosen as president, and John Bis-ese as secretary-treasurer for the com-ing year. An outline of tentative plans was given for the coming season's ac-tivities, which includes a Communion breakfast, a banquet, and a possible excursion to Chicago. Mr. Herbert Bott, professor in the Foreign Commerce school, was chosen again to be the fac-ulty adviser. •

Where to 'Bum' Your Smokes . Being a freshman, every little odd fact puzzles me. Last Thursday morning I stared upon a Philip Morris advertise-ment announcing winners of the pre-\nous weeks' football forecasting.

Seven fellows won a carton each and 87 more captured 50 cigarettes each as a result of picking the exact score of one contest.

To involve myself in mathematics I amazingly figured out that exactly 5,750 cigarettes were handed out to Notre Dame students. To complete this amaz-ing discovery I further discovered that 5,750 cigarettes amount to exactly 28.75 cartons of cigarettes.

The seven lucky fellows to win cartons were E. Freeman, E. Hughes, C. Degar, C. Clapham, M. Minder, M. Meier, and C. McGuire.

N. D. Band Prepares For Five Crucial Encounters

A new enthusiasm has taken over in the ranks of the Notre Dame Band. Preparations are well imder way for approaching acti-i/ities. With the student trip to Baltimore now settled, plans are rapidly becoming realities in the devel-opment of formations and special ar-rangements. No time is to be lost as there are four (and possibly five) games which the band is to attend within the coming five weeks.

Then too, there is the concert season. Several compositions have already been introduced to the band within the past two weeks, and they have shown great interest and skill, rendering these sur-prisingly well for so short a time. At the present rate, it should not be long before the concert band makes its first appearance of the year.

Basketball is not in the too distant future, with its demands for pre-game and half-time entertainment. It's even possible that Director Cassasanta may have several new numbers to take the place of the much - demanded "Tiger Rag."

Last Tuesday at 12:45, a very special

meeting of all the band members was held. At this session, a set of new rules and regulations was read to the mem-bers by President Donald Petersen. A strict check of attendance is to be made in the future.

In fact, the system of cuts, so familiar to the student body, has been introduced with the approval of Rev. John J. Burke, C.S.C, prefect of discipline. Such action was brought about by the members of the band themselves. Their aim for the year is to set a record in the line of achievement and to improve the Notre Dame Band in every possible way.

Metropolitan Club Plans Annual Army Game Trip

The Metropolitan Club held its first meeting on Thursday, Oct. 9, in the audi-torium of the Engineering Building.

About 150 members, including freshmen, attended the session. The main purpose of the gathering was to get an accurate es-timate of the num-ber of m e m b e r s planning t o make t h e t r i p t o t h e Notre Dame - Army game on Nov. 1.

Later, President Matty Byrne outlined the club's activities for the coming year.

During the latter part of the meeting a discussion of the annual Christmas dance was brought up, but no decisions have been made.

History of Notre Dame Partially Completed

Like Rome, the University of Notre Dame was not built in a day. And no one is more aware of that fact than Rev. Arthur J . Hope, C.S.C, and his aides who are compiling a detailed 100-year history of Notre Dame to appear in January, 1943.

Father Hope has completed the writ-ing of five chapters of the volume from a wealth of material collected during the past half-dozen years by Professor James A. Corbett. Mr. Corbett was ap-pointed by Father O'Hara to investigate the University and Provincial archives, besides those of the General Administra-tion. Professor Farrell, former member of the faculty, was the third member of the trio of historians. He devoted his time to perusing all old newspapers dat-ing from 1842 for items about the Uni-versity.

Among other things, the detailed his-tory treats of life of the students, the discipline, and regulations, the curricu-

lum, and emphasizes the ideal of spir-itual development of imdergraduates, which has always been a signal distinc-tion of Notre Dame. Of special interest also is the treatment of the malaria plague in 1854, the great fire of 1879, the continual struggle against poverty, and the intellectual growth of the insti-tution after the Civil War.

Engineers Formulate Professional Code

During 1940-41, D. C. Jackson, Jr., dean of the College of Engineering, con-ductj^d for senior engineers and senior architects, a series of weekly lectures and discussions. During the second se-mester of the year, the students consid-ered the subject of Professional Ethics, reviewing the Codes of Professional Ethics established by the national pro-fessional societies corresponding to the curricula in the College of Engineering.

It was apparent to the seniors that these codes are generally of greater value by far to men who have been in the practice of their profession for ten years or more than to recent graduates. As a result, the students devised a sim-ple code for their guidance during the first five years after their graduation.

This code is as follows: "The Engineering Profession, as all

other pi-ofessions, must have a general-but efficient standard of ethics if there is to be any unison between the prac-ticing engineer and his neighbor. More-over, it is only proper that the young engineer should have a definite course to follow in his future relationship with clients and fellow professional men. Therefore, we, the graduating class of 1941 from the Engineering College of the University of Notre Dame, propose the follo%ving code as a guide along our selected path in life.

As yoimg engineers we will: 1. Demonstrate honesty, sincerity, fair-

ness and honor in all our professional dealings.

2. Abstain from all actions which, either directly or indirectly would detract from the reputation, prospects, or pro-fessional undertakings of a fellow engineer.

3. Place our qualifications as engineers before the public in a dignified and conservative manner.

4. Consider information which concerns technical data, methods or processes and business alfairs, as weU as'aU in-formation which is not common public knowledge, to be strictly confidential and not within our rights to divulge.

5. Direct our actions toward the best in-terests of public welfare and supply our knowledge, training and skill for the use and benefit of mankind."

FRESHMAN GET-TOGETHER GIVEN BY KNIGHTS

TOM TEAKNEY

"You are cordially invited to attend a "get-together" as the guest of the Knights of Columbus, on Wednesday eve-

ning, October 15, 1941, at 8:00 p.m., Washington Hall."

T h i s invitation was r e c e i v e d by the members of the Freshman Class ear-ly this week to at-tend the "Casey's" party for them, at which they were in-troduced to the only

fraternal organization on campus. The local council, comprised entirely of Notre Dame students, planned the evening for the "Frosh" in order to better acquaint them with the organization and its var-ious activities.

The "get-together" provided a well-balanced evening of entertainment for the enjoyment of the Class of '45 and they expressed their appreciation with a large turnout. Music Avas provided by Jack MoUoy's Cavaliers who delighted the audience throughout the progi'am with tunes both sweet and swingy.

The Cavalier opened the pi-ogi-am A\ith their theme, "The Man I Love" intro-ducing Tom Tearney of the Knights of Columbus. Tearney gave a firief talk to the audience, acquainting them mth the K. of C. organization and introducing the acts to follow.

The first act on the program was a " medley of college songs presented by members of the Glee Club. This fonned an effective background for an introduc-

tion of the captains of the various ath-letic teams, performed by Joe McArdle, Notre Dame's ruddy-faced line coach.

Next the two-piano team of Joe Sav-ord and Bill Mooney offered a brilliantly arranged selection of such classic hits as "Begin the Beguine," "Tea for Two," and "Temptation." This team definitely has a flair for the finer points of synco-pation. The audience showed their ap-preciation by demanding encore after encore.

Then Jim McDonough, Notre Dame's recent contribution to the Fred Allen radio program, presented the Knute Rockne impersonation that he did on the air. In contrast to this dramatic epi-logue, Ed "Doc" Walsh, senior equip-ment manager, presented a skit entitled "What Happens In A Leahy Secret Practice." This hilarious satire literally "had them in the aisles."

Jack MoUoy's boys followed with a brace of tunes of the popular variety and Jack Whelan, magician from How-ard Hall, contributed some of the sleight-of-hand wizardry to the festivities. Re-freshments were served as the Cavaliers finished up the program with some "jump" tunes. Among these were the band's own composition, "Skoogum B'-Googie," and "Bluej. on Parade."

The last of the band music signified the end of the program and the "Frosh" voiced their approval with thunderous applause. As the last of them drifted out of Washington Hall, we overheard one enthusiastic fellow exclaim, "What a blow-out!"

Father Mclnerney Is. New Chaplain of Knights

Last Tuesday at the regular meeting of the Knights of Columbus, Grand Knight Edward Eeidy introduced Rev. Walter Mclnerney, C.S.C, the council's new chaplain, to the assembled knights.

Although Father Mclnerney is not very well known to the student body, having been stationed with the Holy Cross Mission Band for four and one half years before beginning religious in-structions at the University last Febru-ary, he is a graduate of Notre Dame, class of 1932.

The new chaplain is one of five broth-ers in the order, one of them a past state deputy of Massachusetts, He took his degree as a member of Brighton Council, Boston, Mass., in 1926.

As a member of the Knights of Co-lumbus for 15 years and with his exper-ience on the Mission Band, Father Mc-lnerney is well qualified for his duties as chaplain of Council 1477. The chap-lain's duties are many and varied. He is the spiritual director of the members and conducts all religious services, par-ticularly the memorial services held each year in November,

Among the former chaplains of Notre Dame Council are such figures as Rev. Paul J. Folk, who died last year. Rev. Eugene Burke, Rev. John Margraf, Rev, John Galligan, Rev. John Resmolds, Rev. Leo Gorman, Rev. Charles M. Carey, and Rev. John D. Gallagher, all members of the Congregation of Holy Cross,

Savord and Mooney. . . Sophisticated syncopation... Encore after encore.

Student Trip Ticket Sale National and international problems

are doomed to take a back seat down Baltimore and Washington way as Notre Dame's "Student Special" juggernaut moves into Baltimore and thence onto Capitol Hill for a few turns on Wash-ington's famed "Merry-go-round,"

Student Trip chairman, Bob Richard-son, annoimces that tickets will go on sale for two days only, Monday and Tuesday, Oct. 27 and 28, and may be obtained at the treasurer's office. Ex-penses for the excursion will total $22.20, including game ticket. Chairman Rich-ardson takes note that this rate is con-siderably cheaper than last year's rate on the student safari. Tickets for the ball game will cost $1.85, while reserva-tions have been made at two of Wash-ington's leading hotels, the Annapolis and the New Colonial where Notre Dame men will headquarter Saturday night.

For those fortunate few who have railroad passes at their disposal, an-nouncement is made that these will be honored. Those planning to use their passes should contact Richardson as soon as possible.

NOTRE DAME SPORTS SIX GAMES OPEN INTERHALL GRID

SEASON ON CARTIER FIELD SUNDAY

Dillon and Walsh Halls Are League Favorites

This week definite schedules have been prepared for the Interhall Football League, with the delayed openers set for this Sunday. Originally the new season was to have been unveiled last Sunday, but officials decided the boys needed more seasoning to be at top strength.

During the past week, however, 12 teams have taken definite form. Normal-ly a sore point for any interhall coach, turn-out for week-day practices has been very encouraging. Normal proced-ure finds four or five players making an attempt at practicing on week-days, followed by a large number all set to play first string when game time comes. This year 15 or 20 boys from each team are out every day. This is particularly true in the case of the Walsh outfit, and they seem to be out for the title.

An attempt has been made to balance the two leagues in respect to talent. The Freshmen have been split up between the two leagues to compensate for their expected weakness. But freshmen are never to be counted out of the battle, because they are intent on forcing the upperclassmen to recognize them.

This year three games will be played in the morning at 9:30, and the other league's games played at 1:30. The players Avill meet at Cartier Field 15 minutes before their game time. Here their field will be assigned and the games will be started promptly. The teams must be ready to play at the scheduled time.

Among the freshmen, Brownson and Cavanaugh look better at this time. Among the upperclassmen, Dillon and Walsh appear best. I t is this \\Titer's opinion that the last mentioned teams, being in different leagues, will be there when the play-off game opens, with Walsh given a shade of an advantage. With such names as Deery, Graliker, Clark, Eaaf, Daigler, McKay, and Mil-ler, to mention only a few, Walsh seems to have the best outfit as play gets under way.

WHAT ABOUT SPORTS? By "Red" Lonergan

With football gossip sharing the head-lines with Europe's tin soldiers, with all America wondering who wiU be battling it out in the various bowl games on New Year's Day, we stick our necks out to bring you our predictions on this year's -masterpieces.

In the East, Fordham, Navy, Colgate, and Temple seem to be ruling the roost, with the Eams and the Goats butting it out for top honors. Colgate must get by Duke, and Navy by Notre Dame.

In the Mid-West the same old gang is fighting it out. In case you didn't know, they are Minnesota, Notre Dame, and Northwestern. The Gophers must pass the Wildcats and then the gents from Ann Arbor. Notre Dame will more than have its hands full with Navy and the same Wildcats. Northwestern must get by the Gophers and their old jinx, the Fighting Irish. It looks like a battle for top honors in the Mid-West, said battle to be decided about the time the last ear of com is husked.

Down in Dixie there is all the show of

a real mix-up. The Blue Devils from Duke are leading the race for top, may-be. Tulane's Green Wave is trying to as-sume all the proportions of a tidal wave. Maybe the Swamp foxes from Ole Miss know how to get over that wave, and even if 'Bama has lost, it stiU represents a dangerous threat.

Over in the cow country Texas wants to be boss. S.M.U. is going to give Texas a fight and Rice isn't just a spectator.

Near the peaceful Pacific we have the surprise of the nation in Oregon State. Last week they upset the "T" from Stanford, a tough job. Stanford is not just a flash-in-the-pan and we will hear some more about the "T" before the season is over. Include Santa Clara in this arena and you have as good a fight as you could want.

So there you are. Maybe you can pick your national champ from that group. We know ours.

QUESTIONS FOR THE WEEK 1. Who made the system of shock troops

famous in football?

2. Who vras credited with making the forward pass a realization in collegi-ate football?

3. Can you give the real name of these players? a) The Watchcharm Guard, b) The Gallopin' Ghost.

4. Can you name three of the five un-defeated and xmtied teams in last year's collegiate circles?

5. What is the longest run from scrim-mage in coUegiate ball?

6. Who is the famous American author who made All-American on Walter Camp's team in 1889?

LEAHY ENTERS CARNEGIE CONTEST WITH DUE PREPARATIONS

Should Be Easy Victory For High-Riding Irish

Tomorrow afternoon at Pittsburgh the Irish will attempt to stretch their winning streak to four games at the expense of Carnegie Tech. Although thousands, possibly millions, of fans are already conceding an easy victory for the Irish, Coach Frank Leahy and his staff are taking nothing for granted. For it is their policy to take each game as a definite obstacle to be hurdled and to devote all possible time to the busi-ness at hand. The Scotsmen are no ex-ceptions, despite their poor showing to date which includes losses to Westmin-ster and Muhlenberg, while winning only from Albright.

Though Tech. has lost eighteen letter-men by graduation and four more through ineligibility, it is quite certain that Head Coach Eddie Baker vtill pro-duce the best possible performance from a limited number of inexperienced men. Dr. Baker is still teaching the Warner-Sutherland fundamentals, and that sys-tem will form the background. A glance at the weight and experience charts of his players makes it evident that Carne-gie will be forced to play a much more open style of game than in the last few years, when such power runners as Con-

dit, Muha, Laposki, Lee and Camelly were available.

While the Carnegie Tech. football outlook for 1941 is by no means bright, the advent of Notre Dame will naturally cause the Tartans to put forth the very best brand of football of which they are capable. As for the Irish, their expedi-tion to Atlanta resulted in some very valuable experience for the second and third teams, though the presence of the first stringers on the field was respon-sible for all three touchdowns against Georgia Tech. The duel for individual scoring honors still goes on with right-half Steve Juzwick picking up 14 points on fullback Evans over the week-end. "Dippy" still leads with twenty-four, while Steve is closing in with twenty-two.

Much of Carnegie's attack will depend on the playing of Bill Johnson. John-son, a rugged 195 pounder, was recently switched from fullback to quarterback, in order to make room for sophomore Bill Philipchuk. The starting backfield vnll probably present Johnson at quart-er, Joe Pash and Virgil Cantini, a pair of light-weights, at the halves, and Philipchuk at full. The line, with all seven members of the 1940 unit absent, remains one big question mark. Prob-able starters, however, are tackles, Lou

Zelenka and Johnny Linberg; center, Hank Holets; and end, Johnny Ander-son. Other forward-wall posts are in-determinable at this writing.

The starting line-up for the Irish will remain the same as in the past three games: I.e., Dove; l.t., Brutz; l.g., Mad-dock; center, Ziemba; r.g., Crimmins; r.t., Lillis, ( c ) ; r.e.. Murphy; q.b., Wright; l.h., Bertelli; r.h.,Juzwik; f.b., Evans.—Al Clark

Good Time at Tech Game Editor's note: This item was supplied

by a former "Rockette" now in Atlanta. Pi-ohibitive costs prevented our sending a regular reporter.

Did anyone say the heat would stop the Fighting Irish? If so they know better now. Even with the strong de-fensive play of the Jackets, the discom-fort of the unusually hot October sim, and the injury of a few players, Notre Dame romped over Tech in a great 20 to 0 victory today before a stadium packed far beyond its usual capacity.

From where we sat in the president of Tech's box the crowd was very color-ful. Adding to the glamor of the occa-sion were a nimiber of distinguished guests from all over the country, repre-sentatives of the Army, Navy, and Ma-rines, and the Tech sponsors, three of Georgia's most beautiful belles. Dr. Brit-tain, our host, introduced us to his spe-cial guests among whom were Chief Jus-tice William H. Black of New York; Chief Justice Charles Eeid of Georgia; the governors of Georgia and Florida and their wives; Mayor Roy LeCraw of Atlanta and his wife; the members of the supreme, appellate, and superior courts of this district; Mrs. Frank Free-man, wife of the motion picture magnate of California; and the sponsors, Miss Marguerite Thomas, Miss Ida B. San-ders, and Miss Sara Farmer.

Tech fans were not hampered by dampened spirits and of course the Notre Dame fans had something to shout about. The crowd gathered for cocktails after the game and at the night spots for din-ner, dancing and general merry-making until 12 when the Georgia Blue Laws said it was time for all good people to be making their way home. So with this we will say goodnight with cheers to Notre Dame's imconquerable Fighting Irish and "Better luck next time" to Tech's plucky Jackets.

ON THE ENEMIES' TRAIL

With a third mark on the credit side of the ledger being chalked up by Frank Leahy's charges at the expense of the Eamblin' Wrecks, let's take a look at the records of Indiana and Arizona, first two teams vanquished by the N.D. grid machine.

Arizona, which had little but postcards to show for its debut in the Notre Dame stadium, went on the next week to hit the New- Mexico Aggies with everything but Coach Miles Casteel, taking a 47-0 decision from the N. Mex. College Station lads. This, however, would not seem too significant, since the Farmers of New Mexico State were one of the schools hit hardest by Uncle Sam. A large number of the boys, including Head Coach Jerry Hines, were in the National Guard, and were called to the colors before the ad-vent of the 1940 grid season. Hines had formerly made the Aggies the pride of the Border Conference, taking them to the Sun Bowl on one occasion.

The Arizona-Nevada U. game played under the lamps at Tucson resulted in a 26 to 7 victory for the Wildcats.

Tomorrow the Arizona boys will tackle New Mexico University.

A second Irish victory came at the expense of Bo McMillan's Hoosiers from Indiana U. The Hoosiers were upset on opening day when Gus Dorais' De-troit U. squad came out on the long end of a surprise 14-7 score. The following week Hillenbrand and Co. dropped their

•decision to the Irish, and last week-end found a Tartar in the Horned Frogs from Texas Christian University. In a hard fought battle the "you all" boys tallied 20 and held the Hoosiers to 14.

In games to come, Indiana is sched-uled to take on another tough one this week-end, meeting Nebraska. The Wild-cats from Tucson don't have it any eas-ier, playing a suicide schedule for the remainder of the season. This schedule will take all of Coach Casteel's reading and writing and arithmetic to keep the Wildcats from having their tails twisted in at least one game. One of the frays on tap is the Arizona trip to Albuquer-que, where they will meet their tradi-tional rivals, the University of New Mexico Lobos. The Arizona representa-tives last defeated the Cherry and Silver Lobos in 1937. Head mentor at New Mexico is Ted Shipkey, former All-American end at Stanford, who played against Notre Dame in the 1924 Eose Bowl game, and, if rumor has it correct, scored a touchdown against the Eockne Eamblers.—Dave Condon

INTRODUCING BY R A Y DONOVAN

Rugged, swarthy, good-natured—^that just about paints the picture of James Charles Brutz, who is plajnng a lot of left tackle for Coach Leahy's charges this fall. Jim, nicknamed "Jamson" by liis teammates, is as tough as they come while on the gridiron, but not a man on the campus can boast more friends than can this senior gridder.

Jim holds the distinction of haAnng his birthday celebrated legally all over the country each year, for i t was on Lincoln's birth-day, 1919, that he first put in his appearance. Although Jim was born in Niles, Ohio, the Brutz family soon transferred their allegiance to neai*-by Warren, and it was here that t h e i r s o n achieved g r e a t heights •with a pigskin.

Notre Dame claimed only the swarthy youth's talents on the gridiron, hut this was only one of the athletic realms in which he starred during his undergraduate prep days. In his spare mo-ments while at Warren High, Jim found time to pick up monograms on the basketball court and on the cinders. His un-canny football ability, however, caused him to concentrate exclusively on the fall sport. A fitting t r i b u t e to "Jamson's" ahility on the gridiron was paid him during his senior year in Mgh school, when the stocky lad was named on the all-Ohio eleven.

A glance at the room Jim shared w t h Joe Laiber in St. Ed's last year would liave revealed a feminine touch, for plastered in liberal quantities about the walls were magazine pictures of the Aveaker sex. If one happened to journey to "The Home of Jim Brutz" just after mail had arrived from home, i t was not unlikely' that the gridder -would be partaking of his favorite food —^Italian-cooked delicacies.

The only factor which stood between Jim and a regular position on the Notre Dame varsity during his sophomore and junior years at the University was Big Tom Gallagher, who was chosen to par-ticipate in the annual North-South char-i ty battle a t Montgomery, Ala., in 1940.

Brutz did, however, provide Tom with a worthy understudy, and at times dur-ing these two years played on a par with Gallagher. This year, however, Jim was chosen for the first string hands down.

Brutz—a man built to play 60 minute football is necessary—^has very seldom been forced to leave the ball game by in-juries. An example of the ruggedness of Mr. Brutz can be cited back in the days when he was starring on the track

for Warren. One day at practice a jave-lin pierced Jim's leg. In spite of the danger of infection from such a wound, "Our Jim" suffered no ill effects.

Jim's coarse, bellowing voice, fitting to his general appearance, has gro\vn to be one of the permanent fixtures at this year's pep rallys. He has the rare distinction of becoming notorious as a speaker without having spoken as much as a dozen words at any of the rallys. James Charles Brutz, man that he is, takes it all good-naturedly, however, when fellow students drown out his ora-tory, and with a shrug of his broad shoulders returns to his place among his teammates.

Brutz, a physical education student, spends his summers in preparation for the following football season. Most of his summer is spent as counselor at a

boys' camp, but he tapers off by labor-ing in a local steel mill at Warren.

The Brutz family will still be well rep-resented on the Notre Dame football field even after Jim's graduation next June. Marty, his "kid" brother, is one of the leading line prospects on this year's giant freshman squad.

One of the elder Brutz's chief delights seems to be in blocking kicks against the engineers of Georgia Tech. During last year's struggle in the Stadium Jim realized the big moment in any line-man's career. With Tech deep in their own territory, the 209 pound youth pro-pelled his six foot frame through the air, blocked a desperate Georgia Tech punt, caught it and ambled over the goal line for a touchdown. Again last Satur-day, Jim broke through the southern-ers' line to block a punt. This blocked kick later led to an Irish touchdown.

Although the game with Carnegie Tech Saturday is not receiving wide attention in most sectors, there is one locale which will probably be well rep-resented when the Irish take the field against the Skibos. Boosters of their home toA\Ti boy are planning to send a goodly number from Warren to Pitts-burgh tomorrow in order that they can get their last look at the veteran.

Opponents of Notre Dame must be warned that, although there may be one or two weaknesses in the Irish attack, left tackle is certainly not one of them. For this post is manned by one of the ablest, toughest Notre Dame linemen in recent years—our orator, Jim Brutz,

Getchell's Article Revives Memory of "Fifth Down"

Tomorrow afternoon's tussle at Pitts-burgh between the undefeated, highly-touted Irish of Notre Dame and the Tartans of Carnegie Tech lacks the element of high-keyed interest which marked most of the meetings between the two schools in past years. Such an interest is recalled to mind by the pub-lication in a national 50 cent monthly magazine, November issue, written by John S. Getchell, notorious wrong down Johnny, refere
