A. E. S. Plans To Enter Ship InNational Glider MIeet

Next Sumnmer

DR. LANGE IS ADVISER

Purchase of a high - performanceGerman soaring glider was announcedMonday bly the AeroatclEnl

neering Society. The ship, which wasobtained through Dr. Karl 0. Langeof the Meteorological Department,was formerly the property of theCape Cod Gliding School at Wellfleet.

It is known as a "Professor" sail-plane, and was built in Germany bythe Roiin-Rossitten Gesellschaft. Theglider is of a type which has estab-lished many records in Germany. andhas itself soared more than fourteenhours over the dunes of Cape Cod.

Unusual Wing ConstructionThe single wing, which has a span

of over 55 feet and an averagebreadth of only about five feet, ismade in three sections, of equallength. The middle one is bolted tothe fuselage at its center, and at itsouter ends with struts.

The two outer sections are unsup-ported externally; they are held tothe center section by two bolts at thetop and bottom of the very deep frontspar, and by one bolt at the rearspar. Most of the load, in both thecenter and outer sections, is taken bythe extremely rigid structure formedby the front spar and the plywoodforming the leading edge.

Plywood Used ThroughoutPlywood has been used throughout

the whole ship; about the only partsthat are not made of it are the wingand tail ribs; this makes f or an ex-tremelyy light and strong structure.The fuselage is monocoque; that is,the plywood covering, supported byplywood bulkheads, takes all the load,unsupported by any strong longitu-dinal members. The landing gear isa wooden skid under the forward partof the fuselage.

Ignorance and Religious BeliefAre ]Responsible Says

Llecturer

Showing how India's veneration ofthe cow and of all other living thing-s,together with its people's general ig-norance, has led to its almost univer-sal condition of poverty, Sam Higgin-bottom, missionary and close friendof Mahatma Gandhi, spoke yesterdayafternoon at; 4:00 o'clock in Roomn 10-250 on "The Educational Problem inIndia."

He described the quality of the soil,the ideal climate, and the nature ofthe people, all tending toward the im-provement of the race, and then dein-lonstrated. how contrary to what mightbe expected, India lags far behindmost -nations because of its religiousbelief. India, said Mr. Higginbot-tom, has persisted in the veneration ofthe cow, with the result that the bovinepopulation of the country is now wellover 160,000,000. The cattle and wild animals are eating, the country outof existence, he said, for the Indianfarmer does nothing to prevent theannual destruction of his crops.

Quoting statistics of the govern-ment in India, he stated that therewere sixty cows to -every hundredacres of land, and that their upkeepwas the equivalent of the annual costof supporting an army of sixty thou-

For the third time in the historyof the Inst~it, 'It a Tecnhnology studcntn~

has been a-warded a Rhodes Scholar-ship. Ivan A. Getting, 133, captain-of the Gym team and student inCourse VIII was selected last Mondayevening front a group of twelve stud-ents nominated for the honor fromNew England.

The Rhodes Scholarship will en-able Getting to study ally subject hechooses at Oxford University, Eng-land, or any other recognized under-graduate school there for two yearswith the privilege of a third year ofstudy if his record warrants it.

Late last evening Getting, whosecumulative average is 4.82, and Nvho isnow working under the direction ofPresident Karl T. Compton, conduct-ing research int-he field of electronics,said that he proposes to continue thisresearch work at Oxford.

Will Follow Theoretical ResearchHe said that he intended to follow

up the theoretical part; of the workrather than turn to the applied sci-ence. The award was announced af-ter more than 12 hours of examina-tion and deliberation on the part ofthe New England District Committee.

The committee, which sat in nearlyContinuous session from 9 A. M. to9:30 P. M., was headed by CharlesPelham Curtis, Jr., Boston lawyer anda Fellow of Harvard University. It;included Dean Paul Nixon of Bowdoin,secretary, representing Maine andMassachusetts; Attorney John R. Mc-Lane of Manchester, N.

For lo, the jolly Yuletide spirit dothfill the air, Christmas approaches,and with it all the things essential tothe Technology conception of a lifeof comfort and supreme blessing.Which is another way of saying thatthe chances for merry wassail and -nowork to worry about will make allgood little engineers anticipate thecoming vacations with just that de-gree of anticipation which will pro-duce a corresponding degree of dis-comfort when vacations come. Be-cause everyone feels so guilty withtheir pressing obligations suddenlyremoved.

We note with regard and no littleconcern the relatively tremendousperoration of our esteemed contem-porary, the "Topics of the Times".Herein is given a slightly Jaundicedpresentation of that writer's impres-sion of the world with the so-called"iengineers" leading the show.

Somewhere in the dim dead pastsomeone has managed to give agarbled definition of the hardy practi-cal man of affairs as compared to theengineer, and both of these as setbeside the so-called man of science.And so the "Topics of the Times"thinks, it would be perfectly terribleto have old hoky-pokes in charge ofthe universe as compared to thesmooth way things are now managedby brilliant and scintillating men ofthe world.

Our purpose is hardly editorial, andthe effort to be either scathing orwitty is too mtlch for a mind made fe-brile by constant recording of the In-stitute's "humorous" occurrences.However, there is something slightlyironical to our immature thought, inthe spectacle of practical men of af-fairs, users of that type of inexactformulae known as "rule of thumb'',shouting down the sordid alley of af-fairs that they can make a much bet-ter show of it than the engineers,users of that type of rule of thumbknown as exact formulae, could possi-bly ever effect. A species of remarkvery similar to "If I can't be captain,I won't play, because it's my1 foot-ball." Ho for the madhouse, Jeeves.

The Lounger feels moved to poetry,which is a bad sign at best, and some-thing terrible at worst. However, itcan't be love, in spite of the scathingcomment of our room-mate, becausewe have yet to lose the old appetite orlie sleepless o'nights, so we hope our'public will bear with us. Howev er,w~e tire of eternal jesting and miock-

ing and have our own moments ofself-esteem, which in this case hap-1

Models of Commercial FurnacesUsed For Demonstrating

Fire Refining

The basement of Building 8 con-tains a laboratory with which vreryfew students are acquainted. It ishere that commercial metallurgicalprocesses are carried out on a smallscale. The laboratory, founded byProfessor Richards, was originally inthe basement of Rogers Building, andwas one of the first of its kind in thecountry. Its purpose is to demon-strate ore-smelting and fire refiningof various metals.

Professor C. R. Hayward, who isin charge of this laboratory, explainedsome of the work which goes on here.There are two types of furnace forroasting sulfide ores, a copper-refin-in~g furnace, a eupellingg furnace, asintering machine, a small blast-furn-ace to smelt the ores, and also severalsmall melting furnaces. Besides thesethere is room to put in special appara-tus for research.

The work. in. copper refining takesplace first in a gas-fired furnacewhich wvas built over from a rotaryroasting furnace. The impure copperis melted, and then air is blownthro-ugh it from iron -pip-es-. This airoxidizes the impurities, which thenfloat to the surface where they mayeasily be skimmed off. The copper,meanwhile, has become saturated withcopper oxide. The copper, together

with the oxide, is covered with char-coal and stirred with an unseasonedbirch pole about an inch and a halfin diameter. Thus the oxide is re-duced, and the copper is cast intosolid blocks.

Gold and Silver In Lead OreThe presence of small quantities of

gold and silver in impure lead makethe lead-refining process interesting.The lead is melted in an iron pothaving a half ton capacity, and somezinc is stirred in. This unites withthe gold and silver, and floats to thesurface, where it may be removed.The part which is skimmed off isheated in a graphite retort to abright red heat, when all of the zincwill be distilled and condensed for fu-ture use. The residue contains therich bullion mixed with a little lead.The lead is oxidized and removed inthe cupelling- furnace, leavinge a fewounces of gold and silver from theoriginal half ton of lead.

In one of the two sulfide roastersthe ore is raked over by hand to ex-pose the material to oxidation. Theother one, however, is a cylindricalmultiple-hearth furnace in which ro-tary rakes furnish the necessary agi-t ati on.

There is one feature of particularinterest in connection with the blast-furnace - a Cottrell electric dust-catcher. A line containing 220 voltsA. C. is transformed to forty thousandvolts, and then is changed to directcurrent by a mechanical rectifier. Achain hanging in the center of theflue pipe is charged negatively, andparticles of dust -receiving a chargefrom it are attracted to the sides ofthe pipe which is grounded.

Furnaces Are Laboratory ModelsThe furnaces are mostly laboratory

models of actual furnaces used incommercial practice, with a few adap-tations to suit them to smaller scaleproduction. The air which is fed tothe furnaces comes from a low-pres-sure impellor-type blower and an air-compressor which maintains a pres-sure of thirty pounds per square inch.All of the furnaces are equipped withpyrometers connected to a central in-dicator, so that the temperature ofeach may be seen at a glance.

By experimenting with furnacessuch as these, the students takingcourses in metallurgy are enabled tobecome familiar with the actual com-mercial processes which take place inlarge smelting and refining plants.

VIEWING education as a product that is bought and sold is anapproach that is used far too inf requently in analyzing the val-

ue of its services. Yet it is certainly a commodity in which there isan open market and free competition among colleges and amongprofessors.

Looking at our product from the marketing point of view,the firlst question to ask is, what need is it off ered to fill. Just ask-ing the question tells us the futility of some courses which pre-sent subjects f rom an academic point of view and more clearlyjustifies the welcome trend toward bread and butter courses. Forthe need is, of course, for such material as may enable one to enjoyand profit most from the opportunities presented by this worldof ours.

How completely present day education fills this need is per-haps our next question. And the depression is perhaps the bestclue to the answer. So-called educated students are turned out bythe thousands with no practical knowledge of how society func-tions, of what common business practises are. For his knowledgeof government many a college student must turn to the news-papers instead of to his university professor. In his technicalfield the student learns a lot of fine and true principles. But in thewalks of life he will be paid, not for his knowledge of these prin-ciples but for his ability to apply them.

To overcome education's known deficiency in teaching appli-cation, the law schools less than a century ago began the nowfamous case system of teaching. This case system is the mathe-matics teachers' "problem", applied to abstract subjects. It hasrecently been extended to accounting and business management.Soon we hope to find it in other fields.

Is our product abreast of the latest developments? Therewie find Ma source of most justifiable criticism. It is only too fre-

quently that gr aduate seminars alre the only cour ses wherein^That happens in the field affects the subject matter without atano or thl ee y ear time lag intervening.

Fincally, does our product satisfy the consumer? Whill wre getrepeat scales? All too often our' customer's next purchase is from

a competitor because, as Professor E. L. Bovvles pointed oult inT. E. ,N., the av~erage instltltor is so imbued with the importanceof his orwn subject that I-e falls illto a dreary habit in presenting

But s-ales m ethods must be improvedl! Education must be.pult into mole palatable form. the packag-e must be beautifiedi to

confrm t laest ackge design. The basic elements -may re-main the sclile, if they satisfy the trtle need, bult in this competi-tive era each school, each prlofessor, must be constantly on thealert to improv e his courise, hisz product. lest lie filid that his prles-tige is wanllinu°

j"Goona Goona", and "Slightly Married"-"Goona Goona", a romance of the

island of Bali in the south seas, is agood picture of its type, but the typeleaves many things to be wished for.

The sole redeeming feature. of theproduction is the beautiful scenicphotography. The Balinese, who aresaid to have the most gracefullyformed women in the south seas, areportrayed performing their daily tasksin their native 'haunts and at thesame time a drama involving theircaste system is unfolded. It picturesthe downfall of a young nobleman be-cause of his love for -a girl of thelower class.

The subordinate feature, "SlightlyIMarried", is a very welcome foil for|the Bali story. Evalyn Knapp andMarie Prevost in the female partsand Walter Byron in the masculinerole act very creditably and certainlydo the picture justice.

The plot, which is the sustaining,pened to grind out in free verse. Lgook factor of the film, deals with theout for it. young scion of a f amous f amily who

Student Support HelpfulThe support of a small group of

students has also been essentiallyhelpful.

Althougch it awas the original policyof the Draamashop to prooduce nothingbut American plays, wolrk on the firstfess productions proved that this planmlust bc changed, since the equipmentof the Corinionls Room stag-e wvashlopelessly isladequate.

The Dramlash op, Professor Fullerstated, is looksing, forssarcl to the timew-len the pl'ans for the extension ofWaTlkler Memlorial, drawn up byr Mr.Carlson, mayl be pout to use. Theseplans call for a large stage which wtillgreatly- enhance future productions.

At present the organization is run-ning at the capacity demanded by thestudent bodys; when the demand in-creases, then this capacity wrill in-crease.

Financial Condition Good

The financial condition of theDramashop has always been good. Af-ter it weas discovered that there wasa surplus in the treasury w^hen thecost of the first play had been de-frayed, the decision to continue pro-ducing was ,announced. This firstplay, "The Hairy Ape", was -not fi-nanced, but expenditures were set-tled after the last performance.I

In an interview yesterday, Profes-sor Dean Mattison Fuller, director ofdramatics at the Institute, gave aninformal report on the condition ofthe Dramashop. For the past fiveyears Professor Fuller has had chargeof the only purely dramatic organi-zation at Technology.

According to him the co-operationof the Faculty with the Dramashophas been excellent". Especially valua-,ble have been the criticisms of manyFaculty members not entirely of theEnglish Department, who have giventheir utmost support to this activity."Particular credit," said ProfessorFuller, "goes to Professor Emerson,of the Department of Architecture,whose efforts on behalf of the Drama- i

ISAILPLANE B3OUG;HTBY STUDENT CLUB

(Conltinued from page one)Extraordinary aerodynamic "clean-

ness" makes p~ossible the very highperformance of this ship. Its sink-ing speed is about 2 feet per second;at most favorable flying speed, whichis about 30 miles per hour or 40 feetper second, it w ould go forward fortyfeet for each twvo feet of lost altitude.This means that the best gliding angleis about one in 20.

Student 1ProjectPurchase and operation of the sails

plane is entirely a student project;the funds were raised by students,the necessary overhauls will be madeby students, and it is hoped that theflying will be done by themi.

Dr. Lange will act as advisor. Heis a graduate of Technische Hoch-schlule Darmstadt and was one of thepioneers in the sailplane developmentin Germany which has attracted such

vld,e A tattention. 'le is all authorityon the meteorology of soaring, and isa "Three-Gull" pilot, which is thnehighest rating for glider pilots givenby the Federation Acronautique In-ternationale.

Flight TrainingIn order that members of the Soci-

ety may become sufficiently proficientto fly the "Professor", training in1 agood primary or secondary glider isbeing arranged for. Lieutenant HenryB. Harris, '29, graduate of the ArmyAir Corps Flying School at KelleyField and qualified as an instructorby the National Aeronautical Asso-ciation will supervise the training.

Eligibility of members of the soci-ety to take the training and, later, tofly the "Professor", will be deter-mined on the basis of number ofhours of work put in on any A. E. S.project. After a certain number ofhours, the student will become eligiblefor flight training; after more time,and after satisfying D~r. Lange as tohis ability, he will be eligible for soar-ing.

The number of hours necessary willbe announced soon. All shop work isin charge of James B. Kendrick, '34,vice-president of the Society, and isin progress every Saturday and mostother afternoons in Building 33. Work

THE TECH DiscontinuesUntil End of Vacation

On account of the approach-ing vacation and the fact thatmany members of the Instituteleave early, this will be the lastissue of THE TECH until theend of the holiday. THE TECHtal;es this opportunity to wishits readers a merry Christmasand a happy New Year.

is expected to start on the "Professor"this Saturday. All men interestedare requested to report at the A. E. S.Oflfce, Room 33-122, this afternoonfrom 4 to 5, or to see Bentley or Ken-drick this week.

Hope Ts Enter Elmira MeetIt is hoped that a sufficient number

of men will qualify to permit enter-ing the National Glider Meet in El-mira next summer. Dr. Lange saysthat there are only four sailplanes inthe country equal to the "Professor",and it is hoped that with his meteoro-logical advice noteworthy results will,be obtained.

These matters will be discussed atthe next smoker, which will probablybe held immediately after the holi-days. Dr. Lange will then talk on lastsummer's national soaring contest,and discuss plans for the next one.

Some of the best plays that havebeen presented, according to Profes-sor Fuller, are in this order: "TheHairy Ape", "The Showe Off", "Mar-riage", "George Dandin", and "Mr.Antonio."

"The management of the Drama-shop is at its best this year," saysProfessor Fuller. "Never before inour history has it functioned so -wellnor accomplished so much.''

Management of DramashopThe management of the Dramashop

is as follows: General Manager, Rob-ert A. A. 'Hentschel, '33; ProductionManager, Charles B. Gamble, '34;Stage Manager, W. Whitney Stueck,'35; Lighting Manager, John A.

THE TECH

HiOOPMEN TO FACECLARKSON AND R.I.

STATE THIS WEEKShaughnessy Expected To Take

Place of Bob McIver atCenter Position

BOTH TEAMS ARE STRONG'

Technology's basketball team facesstiffer opposition this week tvhan ithad last Saturday, when it meetsClarkson Tech on Thursday and RhodeIsland State on Saturday. Both games-ire to be played in the Hangar Gym,where last year's team was unde-feated. Clarkson is new on the sched-ule this year, while Rhode IslandState is one of the four teams to de-feat the Engineers last season. SinceClarkson has the reputation of havinga strong team, both games should beclose and hotly coleinea.

The Rhode Island State game wasp1ayed away last year and the finalscore was 41-26 against the Technol-ogy quintet. While nothing is knownat present about the Friars, it is safeto say that they are a strong aggre-gation, and that they will give CoachMcCarthy many an anxious momentbefore the game is over.

Clarkson Has Big TeamThe Clarkson team, from upper

New York State, is playing fourgames in Boston this week. Last nightthey played Boston University, Thurs-day they play Technology, Fridaythey meet Tufts, and Saturday theygo up against Northeastern. Fourmembers of the team were on thefreshman team which last year wasthe only one to defeat the strong Syr-acuse quintet, one of the best in thecountry. The center and forwards onthis team are towering six-footers,and this fact should give them a de-cided advantage over the shorterTechnology men.

Coach McCarthy has been tryingTom Shaughnessy in the center posi-tion'these last few days; for Bob Mc-Iver, who has been playing there allalong, will be leaving today for his home in Arizona and will not be hereto play in any of the games untilafter Christmas vacation. Added tothis, Tom Murphy, another candidatefor the same position, hurt his fingerin the Newport game and may not beable to take part. Shaughnessy is notany too tall, and will probably notget the jump as often as McIverwould, but he is fast and clever andis a very good man to have on thefloor.

Amenta To Start At Guard|If Coach McCarthy definitely de-

cides to keep Shaughnessy at center,Pat Amenta will play at guard withCo-Captain Sysko. This would givea fast, alert teaml which, if rathershorter than the greneral run, ought tomake up for that fact by its speedand aggressiveness.

The other possibility is to use oneof the second-strin-r men at center.But this mighit seriously handicap tileteaml because the first-string menleave been playing together for sometime nots, and the presence of a sec-ond-stringole in the line-up would dis-upt the teamwork; therefore it will

I1rohably not be done.

These two games will prove an acidtest for the Engineers and if they cantomnie through themn successfully, theyfill not have to worry about theother games on the schedule too much.And these contests will also test thevalidity of the statement that theE'ngineers are unbeatable on their owNnfloor.

Freshmen In Action SaturdayThe freshmen will meet the Rhode

Island State freshmen on Saturday,in the first official game that they willhave played. The Wentworth Institutecontest scheduled for last Saturdayivas called off, because of the inabil-ity of the WJentworth team to appearin the afternoon. In its stead the

freshmen played a team composed ofgraduate students and men on the dor-mitory teams. Coach McDonnell is ex-Pected to use the same line-up that

TECH SHOW CHORUSTRYOUTS ANNOUNCED

n The first regular chorus rehearsalof the recently revived Tech Show aswell as additional chorus tryouts areto be held in Walker Gymnasium to-night at 7:30. The additional tryouts

, are for those men who could not makethe last meeting, at which a group

1. of potential chorus girls was selected.Trials for the cast of the Tech Show

will be held tomorrow in the Facultyr Dining Room beginning at 4 o'clock in

the afternoon and again at 7 o'clockunder the supervision of Professor

. William C. Greene. No experience isneeded in this type of work, PaulLapp6, manager of the show, assures

= prospective participants.Professor Robert E. Rogers' com-

ment on the Show of three years agoindicates the success of past perform-ances and the ability of the men whodirected them:

3 "This man Langdon Matthews is the, best in the business, in his ability toItake a crowd of knock-kneed engi-

neers, all round-shouldered and flat-chested from bending over test-tubesand slide-rules, and turn them out asgood-looking a crowd of AlbertinaRasche girls as you'd ask for. Theskill, precision, and pep, and even, in

lthe individuals, grace were astonish-ing. Of course, they were helped bysure-fire music."

In another part of the article, Pro-fessor Rogers continues: "Instead ofthe old Show, this year we had sometwenty-one different bits, songs anddances, skits and specialties, somegood, some not so good, but all var-ied, rapid, and brief. The idea is allright and needs only practice."

(Continued from Page one)sand British and two hundred thou-sand native troops.

Mr. Higginbottom, who is presidentof Allahabad Christian College in Al-lahabad, India, continued and picturedto his listeners the problems and lifeof farmers of India. Cabbages weigh-ing forty pounds are not uncommonon these farms, and other vegetablesgrow equally well; only the fact thatthere is no market for the productsraised is a detriment to extensive cul-tivation.

The greatest mechanical loss Indiasuffers yearly is the erosion of mil-lions of acres of soil. Mr. Higginbot-tom, in his work on Indian agricul-tural problems, has developed a meth-od for preventing this loss and is inhopes it will be adopted throughoutthe country.

Vice-President Vannevar Bush in-troduced the speaker and conductedthe forum after the address had beencompleted. About sixty students at-tended the meeting.

At a meeting of the T.C.A. Cabinetheld at the Tech Cabin last week endthe fate of the Tech in Turkey pro-ject was discussed for an hour and ahalf, both sides of the question beingthoroughly taken up. A vote was fin-ally taken and the measure for re-moving the department from theT. C. A. was formally passed. Allthat remains now is for the AdvisoryBoard to approve this action. It isfairly certain to go through, andTech in Turkey will be no more. Thiswill cut $1,000 from the budget of theT. C. A., leaving only $300 yet to begained to subscribe the necessaryamount of $3,500.

Getting, who came to the Instituteon an Edison Scholarship which hewon in the first of the Edison con-tests in 1929, is the son of Milan Get-ting, Czecho-Slovakian consul toPittsburgh. He graduated with highhonors from the Schenley High Schoolin Pittsburgh, where he was presidentof his class. He was also captain ofhis high school gym team.

At Technology, in addition to beingin the highest scholarship group andcaptain of the gym team, he hasshown a keen interest in music. Heplays both the piano and the pipe-or-gan, and during his second year at theInstitute, played with the CombinedMusical Clubs.

Successful on Gym TeamLast March, Getting was awarded

the straight T for his exceptionalwork on the gym team. He had asuccessful season in the sport lastyear when he excelled on the sidehorse and the parallel bars. He isone of the mainstays of the gym teamthis year and is expected to place inevery one of his events in the meetsthis winter.

He has two brothers: one a studentat the University of Pittsburgh, andthe other now attending HarvardMedical School, and formerly a stud-ent at John Hopkins University. Helives with the latter in a medicalbuilding on Commonwealth Avenue,where he works for his living quar-ters.

Only two other men from the In-stitute have ever won the coveted se-lection as a Rhodes Scholar since itsinception. The first Technology manto be elected was Leonard W. Cronk-hite, '05, of Boston, who is now presi-dent of the Cronkhite Firm. The sec-ond vas Morris L. Shaffer, '30, whowas elected in December, 1930.

The Massachusetts candidates forthe scholarships were picked fromeleven applicants, who were approvedby their colleges, by a State commit-tee, following personal interviewswith the applicants. Personality, char-acter and scholarship were the chiefpoints considered in selecting theState candidates and also the finalfour winners for the New Englanddistrict.

Set Next IndoorTrack Meet ForComing Saturday

Eight Events Listed; ResultsOf Last Week Promise

Powerful Team

Coach Oscar Hedlund's second han-dicap track meet of the indoor seasonwill be held this coming Saturday.Coach Hedlund was highly pleasedwith last Saturday's meet, and is con-fident that this coming meet will bejust as successful. As this is to bethe last meet until after the Christ-mas vacation, all the candidates areexpected to be out doing their best toshow that they are worthy of makingthe team.

Last week's races showed some ex-cellent performances on the part ofWrigley, Waish, gill, Souza, andHortor, All of *hKoi aft, working for the varsity one mnile relay. Thesemnen ran in the 300-yard dash, anddespite the fact that they ran in their

-,Rveat suits, their times were excep-'Jionally good. All of this seems to

indicate that Technology will be wellrepresented in the mile relay.

Jarrell P.ulls SurpriseGoochy Smith, captain-elect of next

year's cross-country team, and BobMann are promising candidates forthe two mile relay. Billy Ball andCaptain Dick Bell have started show-ing some life in the sprints, both fin-ishing well up in Saturday's races.Dick Jarrell, a dark horse, surprisedeveryone at the meet by getting athird in the 1000-yard run. Althoughhe did this from a 20-yard handicap,he nevertheless did some strong run-ning, and in all probability he willshow something in the mile relay.

Among the freshmen Johnson,Svenson, and Runkel did fine work inthe sprints. Later Runkel ran in thevarsity 50-yard dash and finishedsecond from a three-foot handicap.Bill Royce, captain of this year'sfreshman cross-country team, andHitchcock proved by their showing 'Saturday that they will be a big helpto yearling the mile relay. GordonDonnan, who broke the freshmanpole vault record at the meet, showspromise of duplicating this feat sev-]eral more times before the seasoncomes to a close. In fact, Coach BobBowie predicts he will do over twelve ifeet, which will be a good record forfuture freshmen to shoot at.

High-Jumpers In K. of C. MeetTechnology will enter five men in

the high jump in the Kniglts of Col- vumbus meet, which will be held at the tBoston Garden next month. They are c

Sherburne, Ray, Pierce, Tomkinson, Eand Walker. Incidentally, the highjump is the only field event held at (
