Kod Norvo aiul liis ovcliostra Iwivo lieoii booked for tlic eighth annual Jntcrfraternity Ball, Frank Meyers, chairman of the ball committeo, an- nounced last Friday. It is believed the annual affair will lie held in the Bitz-Carlton Hotel’s main liallroom Friday, November 3. An added fea- ture of the main social event of the fall term is an additional hour of dancing for the Greeks. In previous years the dance came to an end at 1 o’clock; this year the program calls for dancing from 9 until 2 o’clock. The committeo has also made ar- rangements to have the lounge ad- joining the main ballroom exclusive- ly reserved for Drexel .students. This will give the dance a privacy that has not been felt in other years when guests of the hotel were present in the lounge. Meyers Chairman Frank Meyers, chairman of the Ball, in announcing the committee’s selection, said, “This year the Inter- fraternity Ball will have one of the top-notch bands of the country, and since the committee has been so for- tunate in securing Bed Norvo, I feel certain that the ball will be both a financial and a social success. I would also like to announce that the ball is not limited to fraternity men. Every freshman and upperclassman in the college is cordially invited to attend.” As has been the tradition in past years, the evening following the ball will feature open house dances at all the fraternity houses at no additional charge. Members of the Interfraternity Ball committee other than Chairman Meyers are Ed Boltz, Virgil Groo, Fred Bolten, Winifred Degen, and Beth Eeese. Offlcers of the Interfraternity Council for this year are as follows: Chairman of the Ball.. Frank Meyers President .................. Johnny Eebmann Vice-President ..................Virgil Groo Secretary-Treasurer ............. Ed Boltz Athletic Chairman.. Elmer Deckman RED NORVO D ebaters M eet ’F ordian M en Plan Lodge Party Late in Fall Term Larry Smith, president of the Drexel Debating Society, called to order last Tuesday, October 10, the meeting at which plans for the com- ing season were commenced. The date of the first debate is tentatively set at November 6 with Haverford on the topic: “Eesolved: That the United States should follow a policy of strict (economic and mili- tary) isolation to all nations outside the western hemisphere engaged in civil or international armed con- flict.” The activities of the society are, in a large measure, dependent on the outcome of the still pending affilia- tion with the Philadelphia I’orensic League. If membership in the league is obtained, there will be regularly scheduled debates on the Phi Kappa Della question quoted above, with local colleges and universities all during the fall. The usual, widely varied round of debates during the winter season are already being scheduled. A Lodge party is planned for some time after Thanksgiving. Such af- fairs of the Debating Society are famed for the entertaining nature of the debates usually occurring. Four freshmen, prospective debat- ers, were present at the meeting, and it was announced that several others had indicated their interest. Hamberg Promises Improved '^JournaV For Coming Year Featuring an interview of Profes- sor Cecil Kapp, director of coopera- tive education, the first issue of the “Drexel Technical .Tournal” will be published about October It). This magazine, which is put out for the students in the engineering school, is going into its third year of publi- cation. According to Marvin Ham- berg, this year’s cditor-in-chicf, the “Journal” will be larger and contain more information of interest not only to engineers but to other students and alumni as well. Telling the inside story of how the engineers get their industry jobs, the article on the cooperative system is only one of six articles in this com- ing issue. These articles cover vari- ous subjects such as “Elimination of Static and Noise in the Radio,” “New Methods of Building,” and “The Moulding of Synthetic Plas- tics.” Mr. G. K. Matheson, instruc- tor of economics, also contributed an article on the “Application of Mathe- matics to Economics.” This year the “Journal” is spon- soring a contest to stimulate tech- nical writing among the students. Ten dollars will be awarded for the best article. Details of this contest were announced in the first issue of the Triangle. The “Drexel Technical Journal” is self-supporting, depend - ing entirely on student subscriptions. All students may obtain subscription cards at the. “Technical Journal” oflice. Commuters’ Club Organizes Party A very successful buffet supper held last Tuesday in the Women’s Lounge was the first of a series of social activities to bo sponsored by the Commuters’ Club this year. Among the ninety who attended wore a number of freshman women whose interest and enthusiasm added great- ly to the fun. A week-end at the Lodge on Octo - ber 28 and 29 is the club’s second big event for this term. Many plans for it have already been made by the entertainment committeo, of which Mildred Schlosser is in charge, and the big feature of the week-end —a Hallowe’en party on Saturday night—will, in itself, make it well worth attending. After the Randolph- Macou game on Saturday, the group will drive out to the Lodge where the foods committee in charge of Edith Thomas, will serve dinner. Later in the evening, the girls will don costumes of all descriptions for the party. On Monday, October 23, there will bo a table in tho Court to make reservations for the week-end, which will cost $1.25. ‘‘Stage Door” Cast Begins Rehearsals The Rouge and Robe will j)resent “Stage Door” on November 17 and 18. Our amateur thespians under the direction of Mrs. Chase have an- nounced the cast and are rehearsing diligently. All indications point to as huge a success at Drexel as “Stage Door” experienced on Broadway and in tho cinema. An intriguing story of the theat- rical world, “Stage Door” owes its existence to its co-authors George S. Kaufman and Edna Ferbor. First produced by Sam H. Harris at the Music Box Tlieatro in 1936, it has enjoyed continued popularity ever since. Margaret Sullavan had the lead in this first performance. Big Box Office Attraction Realizing the box oflice attraction of the play the movie producers put it on the screen. Ginger Rogers and Katharine Hepburn starred. Hazel Hendrickson who will bo re- membered for her fine performances in other Drexel theatrical achieve- ments has tho feminine lead as Terry Randall. The masculine lead is held by Todd Groo. The part of Judith Canfield will bo played by Eloanore Burkholder. Complete Oast Named Other roles chosen at the tryouts are played by the following: Helen Burton, Ruth Singles, Doris B. Ealer, Claire Bowman, Anna Pfeiffer, Kathryn Macool, Marjorie Stewart, Margaret Leinbacli, June Kompass, Dorothy Fyock, Mary Alice Minnick, Jane Cole, Eleanor Holland, Nona Briod, Mary Ann Burke, Joan Coff- man, Alvina Gillingham, Elwood L. Strousor, Ray Oonsidino, Oarl SiemerB, Jack Leo, John C. Brick, Walter Hutton, Harold Stiffler, Wal- ter Dudra, Edward Crouthamel, Her- bert Beatty, and Constance Sharpe.

Engineers’ Ball Jan. 26 Announcing January 20 a.i the date of the Engineers’ Ball, chairnian Killer Christenson reports that tho committee is hard at work in an at- tempt to make this year's dance as successful as those lield in former years. This date has been chosen to less- en the number of big affairs sched- uled for the spring term, Tlie com- mitteo feels that attendance at all tho large formal dances will thus be increased. Opera Stars at Assembly The Philadelphia Opera Company presented two of its leading singers at an assembly on Tuesday, October 10. The manager of the company announced the operas which will be given this season. lie then intro- duced the singers. The soprano sang, “I Am tho Wind,” “At Eve I Heard the Flute,” and “At the Well.” The b.aritone sang “On tho Road to Man- dalay,” “Deep River,” “The Toreador Song” from the opera “Carmen” and “The Green-Eyed Dragon.” The pro- gram was very well received by the audience, and it is hoped that similar programs will be offered at Drexel in the future. Radiomen Elect Officers John Moore was elected president of the Electronics Club this past week. Other officers who were chosen at that time are William Koenig, vice-president; William A. Robin- son, secretary; Fred Morgan, treas- urer. All these men are electrical engineers. The society plans many activities for tho year, but tho main objective of the organization is to establish an experimental radio station and to in- terest Drexel students in radio work. Students of all classes in the Insti- tute arc eligible to tho society. Meet- ings will be held twice a month, when discussions on technical sub- jects will take place and talks wall bo given by men experienced in the field. Newman Club Meets The Newman Club, under the lead- ership of Hugh Hilforty, its presi- dent, held its first meeting this term on October 11, at St. James Hall, 38th and Spruce Streets. Follow- ing a short business meeting, an ad- dress was given by tlieir chaplain, Father O’Loughran. An informal dance brought the evening to a close. Plans are under way for a fresh- man dance which is to be held for all Catholic students at Drexel Lodge tonight. Any Catholic student at Drexel is welcome to membership in the Newman Club. Kick-off Dance Successful Tho Varsity Club began a success- ful season with tho Kick-off Dance last Saturday night. This was the first of a series of dances which the club is sponsoring in an effort to have all varsity men wear D-sweat- ers. Profits from the dances also provide tho members with Dragon pins which signify their sports achievements as Droxel athletes. On January 20, the club will pre- sent another danco which will be as huge a success as tho Kick-off Dance it it receives tho same kind of support. Civila Organize for Year Tho American Society of Civil En- gineers will open its series of meet- ings tonight. All students in the 0. E. course are invited to attend and become awaro of the vast oppor- tunities offered by this excellent or- ganization. Tho society guarantees that ovory member w'ill benefit by the program planned for the coming year. Mr. John Kenney, president of tho organization, will open the meeting. E. E.’s Hear Lecture The A. I. E. E., whoso membership is open to all oloctrical engineering students, hold its first mooting on Thursday night. Mr. R. H. Stier, engineering assistant to the vice- president in charge of operations, en- tertained those present with a lec- ture on “Streamlined Trolley Oars.” Tlie meeting was presided over by Mr. Robert S. Buck, who will lead the organization during the coming year. The society has made plans for many more programs of this type for this term. Now students are urged to join this fine organization and aro cordially invited to attend tho next meeting. WEEK (Continued on Page 4, Oolunm 1) I t ’s Red Norvo! Dodge Those Bullets ! G R I A N e L. E Sides and Angles of Drexel News Vol. XV PHILADELPHIA, PA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 13, 1939 No. 2 S tu d en t U nion V early R eady For O pening Renovations Near Completion With Men Hard at Work Work on the Student ITiiion is liiogressing rii[)idly, and according to Mr. Edward P. Simon, the .-irchitect, the building will be ready for tho dedication ceremonies scheduled for October 21st. A largo staff of trained electricians, masons, carpenters, and jilumbers has been working steadily since early in Soiitember in order to complete the renovation. When the contractor and his group of workers first took over the job, the building was an out-inoded struc - ture with a tyiiiciil bank layout. Tho tioor of the main room where the business with the public was gen- erally transacted was made of tile, the parts of the floor where tho tell- ers stood were constructed of a cork material, and tho floor of the presi- dent’s oflice was hardwood. There was a huge vault about half w'ay be- tween tho front entrance and tho back, extending almost the entire width of the building. Tho rear room on tho main floor contained a stove !ind an old ice box and had evi- dently been used as a iiiake-shift kitchen. There was no entrjinco overlooking Ludlow Street; there were partitions of wood and glass separating the corners from tho main room itself. The basement had been used for storage and fllo space and had never been intended for human habitation. Door Presents Problem It was imjiossible to take the safe door off its hinges and to have it carried away because it was so heavy that it would have fallen through the floor as soon as it was detached. The men liad to blast out the entire vault piece by piece with an acety- lene torch. This left a passageway straight through the center of the building from tho front entrance to the back. All the partitions were removed from the main room with the exception of a long narrow cor- ridor along the left wall which was partitioned off to form four or five oflicos for student activities. Tho floor was then torn up and replaced by tiling similar to that which covers tho floor of tho Court. Fortunately the high ceiling and tall windows fitted into tho now picture perfectly without alterations. The coiling and walls of this main room (which cov- ers a space fifty feet wide and sixty feet long and will be furnished as a lounge) have been replastored in some cases and entirely repainted. On the first floor in tho roar aro four small meeting rooms, which may be signed up nightly by different organ- izations. On the second floor there is a bal- cony overlooking the main lounge and two very large rooms, which are to bo used as study rooms by day in order to relieve the congestion in tho library and as conference rooms at night. UNION (Continued on Page 4, Column 2) Tail Beta Pi Plans Year of Activities JJ n derTumey,Shimp T.'iu Beta Pi, the honorary engi- neering society, is planning another year of !U'tivity, following its policy (if playing ,'i vital part in the lives of its nieinbers. In the absence of Lawrence Tumey, who is in indnstry in New York State, Joseph Shim|i, vice-president, is taking charge of the orgiuiization here at Drexel, On ^londiiy, October tenth, he left for tho national convention held at tho University of ^Missouri, in Columbia, The formal initiation fer new members will he held on the ('veiling of November 4 at Drexel Tech, to be followed by a dinner at the Hotel Wellington. Previous to this, how- ever, entrance examinations for those men eligible for Tan Beta Pi will bo given on October 20 at the Lodge, where the prospective members and their hosts will spend tho night. The society has ])ledged full co- operation to Blue Key in the tutor- ing jiliin which it is inaugurating. For th(! second consecutive year, Tan Beta Pi has been instrumental in organizing tho Engineer’s Ball. With Kinor Christenson as its chair- man, the committee is hard at work planning for the occasion. The Ball will be held .lanu.'iry 2 (i, iind will be bigger and better than ever before. Alumni Gather for A nnual H omecoming Big Program Includes Student Union Dedication, Football Game And Party at Penn Athletic Club of M e n ’s C ouncil Plans C hanges Frick in Charge Of Improvements Men’s Student Council has buckled down to real w'ork this fall. Headed by Lou Frick, acting President while Norm Roden is in industry, the Coun- cil plans to revise the Drexel Con- stitution. Just what points are to bo revised have not been announced, but many improvements are in order. Budgets for tho Engineers’ Ball and tho Mon’s Pro-Junior Lodge par - ty were approved. During the spring term, each of tho men’s classes voted five dollars to provide recordings for the Court dances. Organizations desiring aii afternoon Court dance for tho adver- tisement of an affair may have use of the recordings by contacting Stan Price early enough so arrangements ean be made. No charge is made except for breakage. The Council appointed Ed Curtiss to round up a crow to rebuild the Drexel Dragon. Much jjraise is due tho Council for the revival of such a Drexel tradition. Lou Frick deserves a lot of credit for the excellent job he is doing of filling tho president’s post. It is really a hard tasjc. A .P.L . ’s O pen New Q uarters October 28 Date Of House’ivarming Official housewarming of the new Alpha Pi Lambda fraternity house will bo held October 28, for members and their friends only. First open inspection will bo held Nov. 3, the night of the Intorfratornity Ball. During the space of about 5 years the “Apjile Pies” have outgrown two houses. This newest one, located at 33rd !ind Powelton Ave., was origin- ally tho Poth family mansion. Later it served as a hospital and before the erection of the Sarah Van Rens- selaer dormitory was used as one building of the girls’ dormitory. Formerly Girls’ Dorm Having been used iis a dormitory before, it has many of tho features to be desired in a fraternity house. At present tho lioj’s plan to accom- modate thirty-six, but they have facilities for at least fortj". Some of the most prominent features aro fourteen rooms, seven baths, heavy w'ooden doors and panels, two largo living rooms, a spiral mahogany staircase, five balconies, a large recreation room in tho basement aiid a spacious front porch and lawn. The oil burner also relieves tho boys of the very tiresome job of tending tho furnace. A largo dining liall makes possible tho serving of meals, a new plan which the follows aro planning to initiate at tho beginning of tho month of November. At present tho house operates in a military school fashion with special emphasis on self-discipline and neat - ness. Tho beds are made by the fellows themselves and their rooms aro inspected onco a week. Study hours aro also being imposed nightly. Acquisition of this now houso will relievo crowded conditions which ex- isted in the old Alpha Pi Lambda house at tho corner of Thirty-fourth and Powelton Avenue.

Oh, I still have five minutes to get to class.” Because ono man had tho motto “Be On Time,” Droxel students are today reminded to be in class on the hour by tho large clock in tho court. This punctual man, in whose memory tho clock was erected, was born J. Peterson Ryder. But lie was known to the students during tho four dec- ades that he was associated with Drexel by tho att’ectionate nicknames “PR” and ‘^Chiof of the Zuzus.” Tho title “Chief of the Zuzus” was indicative of the comradeship and close understanding that existed be- tween Mr. Ryder and the students of Drexel through tho years that ho was first, Professor of Physical Educa- tion and then, Doan of Men. To Dean Ryder his students were always “Zuzus,” and they in turn proclaimed him their chief. Dean Ryder’s death, however, did not mean an end to his influence in student life at Drexel, I’lanning the most widespread alnmiii reunion ever held iit Droxel, tl’(! Alumni Association has been jiut- ting out ]irograms and making prepa- ratidiis for about seven liundrod giiesls. The homecoming will take jilace October 21, and will take tho .'ilmniii to Drexel Institute, the new Student I'uion Building, the athletic (ield, and the Penn Athletic Club. The day begins Saturday morning at Ion o’clock, when both men and women members of the association will register in the Great Court. From then until eleven-thirty the huildiiigs will be open for inspec- tion; the faculty will bo present and old ac<(ujiintances may be renewed and new friends made in the court !ind throughout the buildings. Dedicate Student Union The dedication of the Student I'nion Building will take place at this time in the buildings on Market street between 31st and 32nd Sts. Following the dedication, a buffet luncheon will be served in the Court. Special P. R. T. buses running every five minutes will carry tho Alumni to 46th and Haverford for the Drexel-Swarthmore football game, v.’hich starts at two o’clock. The game promises to be an exciting one, since, Drexel was beaten tw'o years ago, and the football team is out to ledeeni its rejiutation. A parade of “Classes” will take place before the game, luid a special section is being reserved for tlie Alumni. Buses will leave the football field and run directly to the Penn Athletic Club. Cocktail Hour at Penn A. C. Hero, from five-thirty to six-thirty, men of the Alumni will be guests of some of the “old grads” for a cocktail and social hour. Good food, light entertainment, and a few short speeches ivill bo provided < ms a conclusion to tho planned program. Honor Class of ’14 Tho class of 1914 is the ono hon- ored this yc.'ir, since it is celebrating its twenty-fifth anniversary. The committee responsible for planning and executing the affair aro tho following: Charles AVarner, ’98, Chairman Raymond Bailey, ’16 William H. Biester, Jr., ’11 Oharles E. Bonine, ’95 Herbert E. Harper, ’22 Winlield A. Scott, ’37 William J. Stevens, ’27 The reunion is arranged for all those who giaduated or took courses at Drexel, and programs have been sent to tho,“e interested. Although not the first Alumni get-together to be held at Drexel, this year’s re- union is the most extensive ever planned by tho Association. In addition to the big clock which boars his motto on its face, there also exist four scholarships that are awarded each year to senior men and womon. Dean Ryder’s interest included not only tho students but also his fellow members of the Faculty and Admin- istration Staff. At his death he left $10,000 to be used to create Faculty Rooms which up to that time wore a long desired necessity among the Drexel Faculty. In memory of this bequest the women members of tho Faculty and Administration Staff formed the Ryder Club which last Tuesday hold its first event of the year, an informal tea in tho club room. The men have formed the Men’s Faculty Club which held its first mooting on Wednesday, October 4. BVDER (Poutiuued on Page 4, Column 3) Retail Managers Out In Industry Thirty students of the cooperative Retail Management Course at Drexel aro employed in store service for the fall term, tho largest number of Re- tailing students ever to be placed in cooperative jiositions by tho college at ono time.

Many thanx to Bill Bcthnrds who did a swell job of piiuOi hit ti ng for your corrospondont Inst week.
Viewed from the absolute s tand point, th a t Hartw ick encounter was a very sad ailair. The boys were at least hoots and a holler from expected form.
Should ImproveMuch improvement in all depar t
ments of the game is necessary be fore the G-burg brawl. Las t year Horse Chase’s linemen smashed every Bullet oifensive thrus t except those three touchdown plays a la the in te rcepted pass route.
The H artw ick contest uncovered very in teres ting fac ts however. For ins tance— the fa c t th a t our Kenneth Rodgers, blocking back, quarter back, and ji t t e rbug is a competent car rier. Kennie, though he is no speed demon, is nevertheless fast. He re versed his field be tte r th an any other back on the gridi ron last week when he galloped odd yards to score. Inc identally, Kenneth utilized litt le downfleld blocking on tha t play. The en ti re H artw ick secondary moved to the r ight when Rodgers broke thru the right side of the defensive line. His immediate reversal of direction crossed th e defending team so tha t Rodgers traipsed the full distance to the goal line in the Thurston midst wildly waving arms.
Rodgers Tr ickyRodgers’ “Give ’em a leg take it
away” xiivot is an open field weapon worthy of mention. The effective execution of this tr ick depends on th e nicety of time for the leg must be taken away a f te r the tackier has taken his shot. Should the runner pivot before the tackie r commits himself, the tack ier need merely change direction slightly.
The performances of Messrs. Carp- lick, Quinn, and Dilarso, in the tai l back position, were heartening. These gen try proved th a t the outside ru n ning a t tack remains dangerous even a f te r power Hughes leaves the game.
Carplick F as tCarplick proved himself part icular
ly adept a t receiving punts.The in jury which forced Ed from
the game prevented his showing his wares fully. Carplick is as fa s t as Hughes on the dead run though not as fa s t a s tarter. Red-bearded Ifrankie Quinn learned his lesson about interference following two short plays wherein ho left the blockers, cut to the inside, and was jiroinptly murdered. Thereafter the Jer sey fleetfoot used the in te r fer ence like a veteran, ge tt ing off to some beauti fu l gains. His hop, skip, and spirit stylo of running is sometimes reminiscent of bro ther Jack.
Dee Shows WellDilarso, the 131 pound wonder, is
a law unto himself in the open field. Deo, who has seen litt le action, is a will-o’-the-wisp in the open field. Seldom hit squarely by a tackier, Dilarso is a. constant throat.
I n the opening minute of the first quarter, Bob Clyde, tlie roly-poly from Northeast, proved himself a capable tackier from the defensive center position. Enthusiastically aid ed by the mite, Consalvi, Clyde stopped all plays to his side. Lit tle Tony enjoyed equal success on his side of the field, rendering very foolish tho at tempts of the 200 pound Hartw ick guards to block him out.
Ends Capture FumblesEnds H utton and Silver gave their
best performances to date. Each managed to catch a Hartwick fumble during the game, and both handled end sweeps much more capably than during the Geneva fray. Ends Micklo and Engle also performed well. Mickle reported to camp two weeks la te ; therefore, ho has not reached peak condition. He tii’es easily—but while fresh, ho plays the typical “Horse” Chase smashing defensive game,
Engle a t long last shows signs of re tu rn ing to the form tha t made him one of Pennsylvania ’s outs tanding ends. His defensive play against Blue Ridge was outs tanding; he was no loss effective against Hartwick, I n high school, Sammy’s toe was magic. Pe rhaps ho will manage to regain tho extra point knack before the curta in rings down on the season.

D r e x e l W i n s S e c o n dSquad Gains at Will, But Fails in PayoflF Area; Sophomores Look Good In Only Bright Side of Tilt
b’inally scoring in the last few minutes of play, Droxel’s listless Dragons last week pushed a woefully weak Il.'ii'twiek football team all over the field for three jieriods for a sum total of only nine to notliing. Five times the Golden Dragons were on the tlireshold of scoring touchdowns, but through various bad breaks coupled with bad passes from center, failed to capitalize on iiiiy of them, exc>e|>t for tho au to matic safe ty scored in the second period on the tail-end of one of the many Dragon drives toward the W ar riors’ goal line.
I t was only in the last period, wlien the second team, conijtosed mostly of sophomores with a few veterans in to bolster the second- year men, jmslied the ball to the 42- yard line, a t which time Coach Halas, who seems to have changed his tac tics this year in regard to substitu tions, rushed the entire first team back into the game. Glenn Williams, a consistent ground gainer the whole afternoon, then slashed off tackle to pick up 12 yards. Again he took the ball and came to rest on the visitors’ 23. Then, using the shovel pass play th a t was the Dragons’ most consistent weapon with the exce])tiou of off-tackle smashes, Rodgers took the ball from Tommy Hughes on the run, slii>ped through tho line, reversed liis field, and crossed the goal line standing up to score the first six pointer of the game. Then the Drexel team did something th a t it failed to do the entire last season, it kicked the ext ra ])oint instead of plunging. Again it was Williams who did the trick.
Kicking GoodAbout the only place th a t the
Hartwick team showed any st rength was in the kicking department. Milone, halfback for the visitors, got off several beaut ifu l kicks, but our own Pal Hughes let loose some beau tiful kicks tha t set the Hartwick team back many yards.

G round At 6 9 lh St. and M arshall R oad Is Secured
Drexel’s new athletic field which, when finished, will measure up to the highest college standards, is in the making.
Ground for the field was purchased at 09th Street and Marshall Road in West Philadelphia. A t the present time, 09th Street is being cut through from M arket St reet to Baltimore Avenue. Thus Drexel’s field will be easily accessible to all.
Separate Football, Baseball FieldsWhen all tho ground has been se
cured, there will bo approximately sixteen acres. When completed, there will bo separate baseball and football fields, eight or ten tennis courts, a straight-away and oval track. There will also be a new stadium, a field house, and all other necessary college facilities. Tlio field will probably accommodate ten or fifteen thousand peoyile from surrounding vicinities and allow largo sports events.
Tho purchase of tho new athletic field was necessitated by tho possible sale of the present field a t 40th St. The la tt e r is pa r t of the Kirkbr ido property, which also includes tho ground for the Hospital for Mental Diseases, adjacent to our fiekl. The proposed moving of tho hospital to a new site near Newtown Square brought several ten ta tive offers for tho sale of tho 40th Street property. Turning the ground into a Federal Housing project was considered; ap parent ly no action has been taken.
Tho time for completion and occupation of tho now field is, as yet, unknown, since authorities do not know how long tho present atlilotic field will remain available for use.

K en Rodgers
As his last year of college football marches on, we pause to reflect on tho excellence of the games which Ken Rodgers has consistently played.
Ken s ta r ted off as a sophomore player with the proverbial “ bang.” He quarterbacked the Dragon eleven to a 34-7 victory over .Juniata tha t season, scoring two of the touchdowns himself as the result of well- executed forward ])asses.
Dropping the gridiron game for his pre-junior year, due to tho three- year eligibility ruling, Ken took up again last year where he had le ft off as a soph. Since then, Rodgers has always been an integral cog in the Dragon gridiron wheel. His vicious blocking and rugged backing up have helped to provide the downfall of many a Tech opponent. Having the blocking back’s job on any eleven is no picnic, mainly bruises and more bruises from hitt ing those would-be tacklers. However, Kenny has consistently done the job well.
This season Rodgers stands out as one of the best and most necessary men on the field, star ring of late as a pass receiver. He scored on a shovel pass from Hughes in tho opening ti l t with Blue Ridge, and went over for our only touchdown in the recent Hartwick clash as a result of a neat ]>iece of shovel passing and subsequent running.
Tech will miss one of our strongest, most dependable men, from the time a t the Hopkins game in November, when he plays his final college quarters.

P e r r y R i f l e M a tc h e sDuring the summer, J im Haislip
shot on the Third Corps Area Rifle Team a t Camp Perry, Ohio.
J im partic ipated in sixteen matches as a principal of his team. On each team there are ten principals, two al terna tes who only shoot if tho principals are not there, and two team captains.
The team on which Haislip shot won the Leech Cup Medal, which in cludes seven shots a t 800 yards, seven a t 900 yards, and seven a t 100 yards. J im scored 101 out of a possible 105, and won three qualifying medals as well as one Class B Medal.
Approximately 4n00 men shot in the meet which lasted for three weeks, the first week of which in cluded a small arms school. There tho men learned how to handle and ins truct in small arms shooting.
This Collegiate WorldWo knew it would happen—but
we’d hoped it wouldn’t. Tho gulping season has been ollicially and dram at ically oi)ened for another college year— and watch out for your laurels, you “ winners” of last year!
F ir s t entry in tho 1939-1940 derby is Franklin and Marshall College’s J im my Addy, a frosh from P i t t s burgh. For a mere 50-cont piece (they were get ting ten dollar bills for stunts lust year) he calmly swallowed a shaker-full of popper—and then not nco teams it desires to meet.
'I'his is ])recisely what wo are doing. The . \th le tic Department has decided to engage fewer conference opponents and schedules those opponents whom they wish to i>lay. Such a policy is deemed advisable becnuse- of the non-subsidizhig a th letic (lolicy established by the school. Intersect ional Games
Intersectional football contests between smaller schools are coming more and more into their own. The ])rirne example of such a (xilicy is the Arkansas A. & M. team. This group has a schedule of seven games, and each tilt is played in a different section of the country. Not long ago this club was hero to f ray with St. .losejih’s College.
I am not iidvising such a radical innovation into our schedule, but I do believe three or four intersectional games would enormously increase the prestige of the school. The home and home arrangement with
Dr(?xel journeys to Gettysburg to morrow for the annual fray with the Mullets. Coach Bream has a powerful squad of eleven lettermen and th ir teen sophomores, which has a l ready subdued Hucknell and Albright, both by one touchdown.
In having a qua rte t of triple-threat backs to draw on, the Battlefieldcrs ])resent their strongest backtield in recent years, l lnmilton and Bender are vetenins with two ye.'irs’ experience, while Stock and Shoemaker are sophomores who have l)roken in to the s ta r ting line-up.
Hamilton Passe rHamilton will be remembered for
his beaut iful passing in last year’s game when he heav(‘d passes right and left for good gains on almost every try, although one did boomerang when Khmling snared one and raced back over 30 yards before l)e- ing brought down. Hamilton then proceeded to intercept one of Ehm- ling’s own shots to race to the Drexel one before being brought down.
Bender is remembered for his vicious line plunging, scoring one of Gettysburg’s (i pointers last season.
Baldy Hamilton is tho spearhead of the G-burg off'ensive. His hard running, brilliant passing, and adroit kicking were dominant in sparking the Orange and Blue to its first two victories. Shoemaker, the first year fullback, is one of the most ])ower- ful buckers in Bullet footbiill history. He backs u]> the line on defense and is noted for his vicious tackling.
Coach Bream has a hard-charging rugged line; all the positions except center are occupied liy veterans: guard Baily and Glad iind tackles Hill and Ashburn have all seen serv-
