Since there were no other limitations on how the 0ney was to be spent, various plans have been proposed and are now under al consideration. Since the ultimate decision lies with the corporation, no lan has yet been adopted, but recommendations made by the MIT Athletic lard will probably bear heavy weight. 7he Athletic Board, meeting last Thursday, went on record as favoring anaaimously: "That the Board recommends to the Administration that detail eking drawings be made of the proposed addition to Briggs Field House, the o'ering of the skating rink, and renovation of the Armory . . ." They listed tkeir first preference the building of the addition to the field hnouse. whi is believed would include added pace for all indoor sports in addition aew facilities for such sports as ncing, wrestling, and weight lifting. ext in the line of priority would be e rehabilitation of the Armory as a Rasium, if available to the Insti- lte efore March 15, 1957. It was inted out at this meeting that the Try was not now available, and e Board was asked its second pref- 'rce, in case such continued to be e case. The decision of the Board was then at the building of new tennis courts, hich would have priority behind the ornry rehabilitation, would be rmov- up to the second preference, and ecovering of Geiger Memorial Rink uId receive the third spot. The cov- !ng of the rink would also receive .ority after the rehabilitation of the nnory and building of the tennis :rts, if possible. While these recommendations will hrairly be heavily considered, it [ust be re-emphasized that the ulti- te decision lies with the Corpora- an. Other proposals which have been l:ugkt forth from time to time in- [de the purchase of indoor rowing nks and the use of the interest from sum in some manner such as pay- :gthe salary of a directorc of intra- aral sports. It is estimated that the [! priority list will be issued within as weeks, and that action on this wrill begin as soon as possible. Outside Firm MIay Run Conmons The Dining Service, now an Institute-lun branch of the Division of General Services, may soon be operated by an outside management firm. This was revealed by R. Colin Maclaurin, Director of General Services, in connection with a report that present Director of Dining Services, Frank M. Baldwin, is leaving his post. However, Mr. Maclaurin has stated emphatically that there is nothing definite about either Mr. Baldwin's leaving or the hiring of a management firm. "Mr. Baldwin has indicated to me," said Maclaurin, "that he might or might not resign from his position." As a reason for Baldwin's leaving, Maclaurin added that he "is considering buying a restaurant. "If Mr. Baldwin should resign, we would consider either replacing him with another Director of Dining Services (who would be an Institute employee) or, as the other possibility, we would consider hiring an outside management firm (whose manager here at the Institute would be an employee of the firm). Independents For Ike Subject Of Stassen Address In KresgeTonight Harold Stassen, the Special Ad- visor to the President on Disarma- ment, is coming to Massachusetts, the stamping ground of Christian Her- ter, to deliver a speech this Friday at our Kresge Auditorium. Stassen's speech will be made under the au- spices of the Lecture Series Commit- tee and the Harvard Law School Fo- rum, just as was that of Mr. Tru- man. This Friday's program was for- mulated with the "blessings" of the Republican National Committee. The topic will be "Why Should the In- dependent and Undecided Voter Sup- port Eisenhower on Election Day?" With this as a title no one can yet know' whether Mr. Stassen will have anything to say about Nixon. As the program is set up at the moment, the Lecture Series Commit- tee says that there will be no panel discussion, but that questions will be accepted from the floor after the con- clusion of the speech. The entire pro- gram will take about one hour. WTBS will carry Mr. Stassen's speech as well as a personal inter- view before the speech. Prior to his speech, Mr. Stassen will tour MIT and Harvard with rep- rescntatives of the sponsoring bodies. Placed between these trips and his speech, there has been a cocktail par- ty scheduled at the MIT faculty club on Mr. Stassen's behalf. It is interesting to note that it was Mr. Stassen who was picked to re- place Attorney General Herbert Brownell on the program. Mr. Stas- sen, the reader will recall, was the only Republican who was in pre-con- vention days outspoken against the choice of Nixon as running mate. Mr. Stassen bucked a Republican party which, with the exception of Terry Carpenter and Joe Smith, was unit- ed against the selection of anyone other than Mr. Nixon. Mr. Stassen's choice was Christian A. Herter, the governor of the state in which Stas- sen will speak this Friday evening. Harold Stassen may be termed a liberal in GOP circles. I-He has called upon the Republicans to abandon "all remnants of the policy of economic isolation." His political career has had its ups and downs. The Gover- nor of Minnesota in 1939, he was, at 32, the youngest governor in the land. In 1948 he ran second to Governor Dewey as a presidential nominee. lwo S;tudent Political Groups In Action; I oth Will Consider Election Year Topics RCMeets Next Fri.; 'Students Fr tevenson" Meet tes Ike Manager DiscssElectionIssues Candidates r ~ 1 I!a ~a rc Urrl~~~ ~l/;I,~s~l lS~i IlT Young Republican Club Presi- tJiln Alstrom announced that Mr. .Fer A.

During coming months the Club will fea- Speakers on topics of national and national importance. However, Club's activities will not all be on serious side, and joint meetings (Continued on page 6) The first organizational meeting of "Students for Stevenson" was held on Wednesday, October 3, from 5-6 p.m. Approximately thirty-five stu- dents, both graduate and undergrad- uate, were present at Crafts Lounge, East Campus, to discuss plans for the formation of teh club and to dis- cuss the possibility of forming a Young Democrat Club after the pres- idential elections are over. Gary Quinn '57, who was primari- ly responsible for taking the action which resulted in the formation of the club, had hoped that Professor Samuel Beer of Harvard University would be able to speak at the first meeting. -As he was unable to attend, Dr. Ithiel Pool, Associate Professor of Political Science at the Center for International Studies, spoke to the group. Doctor Pool stressed the fact that "the issues argued are the least im- portant ones since both parties will say those things that will win over the marginal voters." He said that the Democratic party is more of a "political" party than that of the Re- publicans. "It represents a greater variety of the American people," and thus will try to meet the needs of a broader segment of the population. Doctor Pool also pointed out that the Democratic campaign has made the American people think in terms of politics again. There has been an air of indifference among the voters during the last few years and a ;en- dency to disregard politics. However, this year the election will not be so much a popularity campaign as it will be a political campaign. In 1952 the feeling that someone was needed to "clean up the .m3ss in Washington" caused the people to look for "a knight in shining armor." This is evidenced by the thousands of letters General Eisenhower re- ceived before he decided to run. In 1956, however, the people will be thinking in terms of government rather than heroes, the Doctor said. After Doctor Pool had spoken, a few of the activities of the club were (Continued on page 6) Mr. Frank M. Baldwin Direcfor of Dining Services The Dining Service now operates commons food facilities in Walker Me- morial, Baker House, Burton House and the Graduate House. With the ending of compulsory commons meals for Freshmen this Fall, and the clos- ing down of the Campus Room of the Graduate House, there has been an overflow of Morss Hall diners during the lunch hours, which the Division of General Services has pledged itself to remedy. The first step in improving the com- mons situation was taken last week when the Dining Service opened the main dining room of the Graduate House to Commons diners between the hours of one and two in the afternoon. This has resulted in an appreciable shortening of the lunch line outside Morss Hall. Among the other colleges which have their dining services operated by outside concerns is Princeton, whose meals are served by Howard John- son's. J P Ticket Proposals Presented WithNo AUINight WatitIn Bldg, 10 The activity of the Junior Prom committee during the past few weeks reached its crucial stage with its final proposals for ticket distribution drawn up for approval. Essentially they included the same plan as last year for option procurement by juniors. As last year there will be a sale of tickets for option holders followed by a general sale to the remaining student body. An even division of ringside tables has been again proposed by the committee. But the similarity to last year's plan abruptly ends here on one major issue, which the committee felt necessary, to offer an equitable opportunitv to dorm. fraternitr men, and commuters alike. There shall be no more all-night vigil for tickets if the proposal carries either the night before options are honored or general sales begin. As presented for approval the place of ticket sales will not be announced until approximately one hour before the sale begins. This is intended to hold for Junior and gen- eral sales. With this proposal will go the sight of pitched tents, sleeping bags, and all-night bridge games in building ten. According to this all will have to wait for the official an- nouncement which will be placed on the main bulletin boards. This pro- posal is designed to offset the advant- age of small groups which can wait in shifts over individuals who have to stay in line continuously. With a combination of Les Elgart and his band and the Statler Hotel the rush for tickets should prove formid- able. The Continental Hotel Ballroom has been reserved for the second night with entertainment as yet to be chosen. Some of the details that have been worked out include the usual require- ment of three options to open a new table. The maximum number of tickets one person can have has been sub- mitted in the proposal as six along with the limitation of six options per Junior. The tentative date for option dis- tribution is Monday, October 15 with sales to Juniors on the next day fol- lowed on Wednesday by the general sale. The price will be set in the neighborhood of eight dollars. FSSP Discontinued; Inscomn Still Hears Ryer Housing Report John Holmfeld '57, giving the re- port of his committee set up to study the Foreign Students Summer Proj- ect, announced at Wednesday's Ins- .comm meeting that the FSSP has ceased functioning. Among the reasons for this deci- sion, John stated, were the present lack of capable leaders and the diffi- culty of securing competent instruc- tors during the summer. The International Program Com- mittee, he added, will try to set up a new organization to continue the work of the FSSP, for he feels that s t u d e n t exchange programs are among the most effective ways of promoting international understand- ing. The major part of the meeting was taken up with further discussion of the Ryer report during which reso- lutions were made that all students should be encouraged to live on a centralized undergraduate campus, that the partitions to be installed be- tween Burton House and Conner Hall, in the Graduate House, and in the new dormitory include door- ways, and that the utilization of 100 Memorial Drive for the housing of Nwomen students be given immediate consideration. - - - -- -- -- -- _ _ I .- -- I Lm I N I i -- - - --- - - -111 -ILVLZl r,, WCRCI w Mi

    A gray beard, high-abrow, and thick glasses - " i)describes only one fa- ' - -miliar person in the . .

    MIT community-- Pro- ' '. afessor Norbert Wiener. ' : "

    As a child prodigy Pro-'*fessor Wiener received '.his A.B. from TuftsUniversity when fifteen·;years old. Four y e a r slater in 1913 h e earn eda Ph.D. from HarvardUniv ersity. When mostst udents a re c o i suae g esophomores, Norbertics.

    Wiener was through,weh college -and fully p repared to meet any intellectural

    challenge. He has demonstrated this ability on many occa-sions where he has both contributed to and initiated new

    work. Included are: postulate theory, foundation of mathe-matics, probability theory, relativity, quantum theory, andcyberne tics.

    In 1932 after eight years at MIT Wiener was made a fullprofessor of mathematics. It was from this position that hewas chosen a Docent-Lecturer at Harvar d Un iversity, avisiting lecturer at Brown University, and an exchangeteacher at Tsing Hun University in China. In between hisfrequent lec tures he fo und t ime to study wish B ertrandRussell at Cambridge, England and at other leading Euro-pean U niv ersities.

    Although Professor Wiener works with very abstract andalmost uncommutable terms, he has a lucid, fluent style oftalking which is also reflected in his books: ex-Prodigy,Cybernetics, The Human Use of Human Beings and I Am

    He Mathematician. At the present time he is working on atechnical book for the Academy of Exact Sciences concern-

    ing probability and the determination of science from thestandpoin t of finite s eries and statistics.

    Professor Wiener has recently returned from a tour ofEurope and Asia where he stayed seven months in India.He observed that throughout his trip he had no difficultyin communicating with fellow scientists. Dr. Wiener alsoreported that- as far as the technical knowledge is concernedall top scientists are equal. American research, however,outdistances European and Asian research because UnitedStates corporations have more money to donate to scientists.

    But lack of money does not deter scientific spirit and tech-nical knowhow according to Professor Wiener. India, whichis having over population difficulties along with a lack offood, is still carrying on research at a very rapid rate.

    Wiener went to Europe mainly because of invitations andto see the countries; he came back quite satisfied about his

    "last of trips" as he refers to it.Professor Wiener foresees one big change in mathematics

    for the future. "Pure and applied mathematics are to be-come closer together in the future." He also believes that

    there will be an electronic revolution in the future in whichcounting and controlling machines working by the feedback

    system will replace hand and mechanical labor. "My ex-periences in travelling around the world confirm me of itsimportance."If these predictions are like Norbert Wiener's other

    thoughts they have almost certain odds of coming true.From MIT we can watch first hand this and other innova-tions which have and will come from Professor Wiener'soffice.

    The Bidding: s1D6D

    Opening lead: five of hearts

    Now that you are back at MIT, supposedly to furtheryour professional training, you will undoubtedly appreciate

    the importance of good bridge as part of the rounding ofthe WHOLE MAN. The Kibitzer is therefore only too glad

    to aid this cause by continuing his bridge column fromlast year.

    Among the many hands that he saw this summer thefollowing one ranks among the most interesting and frus-trating hands.

    Most players would have ended the bidding in 6 spadesin a duplicate tournament. However, the 3NT bid indicateda strong hand, and the fit at 6 diamonds is as good a con-tract in rubber bridge as any other.

    West led a small heart which dummy won. Declarer thenled queen of trumps which West refused to win (Westwas not an expert even if the play is worthy of one). Jackof diamonds was then led. When East showed out declarer

    won the third round of diamonds with the ace, leaving toWest his good king. At this point the contract seemed todepend on a winning club or spade finesse. Declarer playeda low spade to dummy's ace, and East showed out. Declarerknew now that his only hope of fulfilling the contract wasto discard two spades on the good hearts and take the clubfinesse. He proceeded accordingly, but his last heart wastrumped by West, who came back with a spade to defeat

    the contract, because of declarer's inability to return to thedummy.

    Actually there was only one way to win this unusual hand.It was to knock out the king of diamonds. West wouldhave come back with a heart on which declarer discards aspade. He then plays the ace of spades to see if there hap-pens to be a 5-0 split, which there is. Next he discards an-other losing spade on the ace of hearts. Next time consider

    the possibility of knocking out thet opponents' good trump.As you see, the above hand shows the exception that con-firms the rule.

    "Confidenfia

    TM M Tech lettersaTo the Editor of The Tech:

    In reference to the editorial of September 28th, we quiteagree that the opinion of the American student on studentproblems in foreign countries is almost nonexistent. How-ever, the implication that only four days of discussion ledto the formulation of policy on international student affairsis highly erroneous.

    The National Student Association sponsored 15 regionalinternational relations seminars last year throughout theUnited States and each summer thirty scholarships areawarded to qualified American students to attend the sixweek intensive International Relations Seminar held at Har-vard prior to the National Student Congress. Also, severalstudent organizations exist to encourage student participa-tion in problems that affect students throughout the world.

    We were disappointed that the only attitude expressedby the Editor was a negative one which stated the non-existence of student opinion on the international level. Atthe National Student Congress this summer, foreign stu-dents representing their National Union of Students re-peatedly asserted that students in their countries were look-ing to the American student for, at least, moral support.The American student has a responsibility to take an activeinterest in the affairs and problems of his internationalcounterparts for the common bond of studenthood is a.most important factor in promoting international under-standing.

    Killian Shows Need For Two Mll ion Added Incomne,

    the Institute's educational program,the committee said, will require a $7million program for the developmentof student housing.

    Warning of the critical dangers inthe "lowered standard of living" of allAmerican higher education, Dr. Kil-lian told the MIT Corporation that ona national basis over the past 14years "the percentage of the grossnational product going to higher edu-cation has remained about the samewhile the size of the job higher edu-cation has been asked to do has in-creased, in proportion, more than thegross national product."

    "In the light of the past," he said,"we cannot take for granted that ourpresent-day system of higher educa-tion is immune to deterioration orthat it does not require alert and vig-orous efforts to keep it strong."

    Reviewing the past year at MIT,Dr. Xillian listed these as among theprincipal events: The appointment ofDr. Julius A. Stratton, formerly Vice-President and Provost, to the newpost of Chancellor of MIT; the startof construction on the Karl TaylorCompton Laboratories and the Insti-tute's nuclear reactor; the outlawingby MIT students of hazing and other"outmoded activities" throughout thecampus; the first steps in evolving aSchool for Advanced Study at MIT;and the plans for a Computation Cen-ter, made possible by the InternationalBusiness Machines Corporation, whichwill serve all New England colleges.

    Urgent need for at least $2,000,000a year additional income by the In-stitute was described by Dr. James R.Killian, Jr., President, in his annualreport. "Our first order of business isto underwrite the high calibre of ourfaculty and students and their re-search," he told members of the MITCorporation.

    Speaking of the need to increaseteachers' salaries, Dr. Killian declaredthat today's conditions of "inadequatecompensation... cannot much longerbe countenanced."

    Though MIT's salary scale falls inthe top brackets for educational insti-tutions, Dr. Killian said, it is still fartoo low. "It is a shocking fact," hedeclared, "that young men receivingtheir doctor's degrees in science andengineering frequently now obtainjobs paying higher salaries than wecan pay the teachers who directedtheir graduate training."

    "I hold," he said, "that no institu-tion can be considered wealthy or evenadequately financed which cannot payadequate salaries to its faculty."

    Dr. Killian said that the nation'sscholarship funds now total between$50 and $75 million annually. "Doub-ling this total in two to three years,

    quadrupling it in five would begin tobring our national student aid re-sources to the level our growing needsrequire," he declared, "especially ifwe are to reduce the loss of the 100,-000 top-quality high school graduateswho do not have the means to go tocollege."

    Dr. Killian pointed out that whilethe universities are our nation's prin-cipal centers of basic research, the"overwhelming weight" of nationalresearch expenditures is for appliedresearch and development. Presentfunds, he said, "provide inadequatelyfor really uncommitted research. Thenation needs more of this kind of re-search," and the funds now availableat MIT need to be supplemented byan additional $500,000 a year.

    In addition, Dr. Killian said, theInstitute needs to enlarge promptlyits dormitory system and classroomfacilities. He called attention to acomprehensive study of dormitoriesand fraternities made last year by aspecial committee of alumni and fac-ulty headed by Edwin D. Ryer, vice-president of the Barbour StockwellCompany, Cambridge, and a memberof the M}IT Corporation. To providedormitories and student center whichwill make the greatest contribution to

    In his report for the year endingthe 1st of October, 1956, PresidentKillian announced the following sta-tistics: the total number of the studentbody rose from 5,438 in 1954-55 to5,648 in 1955-56. The graduate stu-dents enrolled numbered 2,210, whoheld degrees from 264 American and174 foreign universities. 106 womenstudents, of whom 39 were graduates,were enrolled.

    The undergraduate financial aid in-creased by almost 10% over last year,to a total of $1,039,829. 30% of theundergraduates received financial aid,and one-third worked part-time. 198graduate fellowships and 102 scholar-ships were awarded by the Institute.These and the staff awards togetheramounted to $532,741, an increase of$100,000 over last year. Alumni gave$50,000 as name, class, and regionalfunds; and the Alumni Board fundgave the same amount for scholar-ships. General Motors and the Na-tional Merit Scholarships are support-ing fifty freshmen.

    During the year 1955-56, the totalacademic expenses were $17,099,000as compared to $14,813,000 the yearbefore. Institute funds amounted to$79,292,000 invested in securities.

    The value of gifts for the year was$10,387,000 as compared to $9,145,000in 1951-52. $300,000 from the estateof Edith Carson Wilder, and $200,000anonymously donated, have been en-dowed for research.

    A11~~~~~ ~ ~ -1 ,I __ ,t.Aitoiig ble iiioie itL, txz; accoln-plishraents of the Ninth NationalStudent Congress in Chicago thissummer was the passage of a strong-ly-worded resolution on desegrega-tion. The passage of the resolutionwas attended by considerable debateon the plenary floor of the Congress,centering mainly about a paragraphcalling for alteration of the U. S.Senate's rules to eliminate the fili-buster, which has been used in thepast to block civil rights legislationin that body. This paragraph wasfinally voted out of the resolution.

    Beginning with a statement that"overt, explicit actions" have retard-ed the accomplishment of desegrega-tion in some instances, the documentcontinues to advocate "the swiftestpossible integration of the races atall educational levels."

    To implement its resolution, theCongress asked for a conference ofSouthern schools on the problem ofdesegregation, the establishment ofa staff of USNSA officers and consul-

    rants to offier advice and other serv-ices to campuses with integrationdifficulties, and an inter-regional stu-dent exchange program.

    In a separate, largely controver-sial resolution in the same generalfield, the Congress directed the Na-tional Staff to work toward the es-tablishment of a Human RelationsInstitute, to be under the supervi-sion of USNSA but with separatepersonnel.

    Other important resolutions origi-nating in the Educational AffairsCommission included a plea for con-tinuation of Federal housing loans tocolleges and universities at the pres-ent low interest rates; recommenda-tion of a Federal Scholarship Pro-gram; and various documents con-cerning the problem of academicfreedom. The final draft of the mainAcademic Freedom resolution took amiddle-of-the-road position, statingthat "removal can be justified on thegrounds of . . . lack of scholarly ob-jectivity or integrity . . . or con-

    scious participation in conspiracyagainst the government," but thatsuch removal must be preceded byconcrete evidence and that the ac-cused should be allowed a trial byhis peers before dismissal. Proposedamendments on eithelr extlreme of thetopic were defeated in the Plenary.

    Of particular interest to MIT wasthe adoption of a resolution layingthe basis for a conference here nextspring on rising enrollments and re-lated plroblems. The resolution rec-ommended strongly that academicstandards not be lowered under thepressure of the influx of new stu-dents desiring higher education: butthat fuller utilization be made of ex-isting equipment and teachers, andthat increased emphasis be placed onjuniolr and vocational colleges. Atthe MIT conference in the spring, iiis expected that students and educa-tors from all parts of the countrywill arrive at solutions to the prob-lem of providing advanced educationto all those qualified.

    Council can push this point through,the Class of '60 will have acconi-plished more than any of its predeces-solrs.

    The challenge to the sophomoreclass is in some ways even greaterthan that facing the freshmen. Ac-customed to one method of action,they must make a difficult transitionto another. Unable to enjoy the bene-fits of hazing they can enjoy thebenefits of group action.

    Despite the tremendous beatingtaken last year on Field Day, theClass of '59 has often shown greatpotential. It is now or never that thispotential must be fulfilled. Outnum-bered they cannot be outfought. Thejob cannot be done by class officersalone-it is the task of each andevery sophomore who wants to winon Field Day to impress this feelingupon his classmates Once havingbeen established towards Field Day,this spirit must not be allowed to die,but mnust be redirected to other classand school activities.

    There are those who think thatclass spirit is wasted; that MIT isnot the place for such things.

    We Disagree ! !!

    by F. Thomas Bond '58The end of this month will see the

    traditional Field Day battle betweenthe freshmen and sophomores. It doesnot take more than a casual glanceto prove that this Field Day willdiffer from all those that preceded it.Gone is the "hazing" and the inter-class fights that had always reachedtheir culmination in the Glove Fight.Gone are the rides, the water fights,the depantsing; what is left seemsto be only a set of athletic contests,held for no purpose and accomplish-ing no goal.

    Yet in a larger sense, Field Day1956, presents the greatest challengeto the two lower classes in the his-tory of the Institute. The Class of1960 has entered MIT with one of thegreatest activity and sports recordsin many years. During the past weekthe class has elected the men whowill form its nucleus in the comingweeks-the freshman section leaders.To these men, the challenge is to uni-fy their class in such a way that itwill not only produce victory on FieldDay, but far more important, willcreate in each freshman a class andschool spirit that will not fade. Theestablishment of class spirit will nolonger be accomplished with the "as-sistance" of the Q-Club; the creationof school spirit is now an even fargreater task.

    Forming this esprit de corps willcome now only through the effortsof the frosh. Class teams and schoolactivities are one means of showingthat there's more to Tech than aslide rule-the Class of '60 mustfind others. Class meetings, rallies,dances, mug lifts have all been triedin the past with varied success. Theone big field that lies untouched issupport of athletic teams. There isno Tech man with so heavy a sched-ule that he can't spend an hour aweek for a school team. If the Frosh

    16 Football Games This Weekend Decision To Brown Field Day Presents New ChallengeOin Wednesday, 6-3

    In a game which bore a striking re-semblance to last year's closely foughtgame, Brown University took a 5-3decision from the Tech booters onWednesday, October 3. In reversinglast year's results, Brown avenged the4-3 loss of a year ago. It was the firstgame of the campaign for both squadsand the short period of time whichhas elapsed since the opening practicesession partially explains the loss ofthis encounter.

    Brown jumped off to an early lead,scoring three times in the first quar-ter. They added another tally in thesecond period to close the first halfwith a 4-0 lead. Despite a second halfcome-back by the Beavers, Brown wasable to hang on to the decision. Thevisiting Techmen tallied once in thethird period and twice in the fourthbut to no avail.

    The Tech markers were recorded byAl Hobart '59, Tom Buffet '57 andAl Kappen '58. During the first quar-ter Morris Neiman '57 handled thegoal tending.

    Brown utilized their wings to greatadvantage and they n.:naged to tallyseveral times from the outside posi-tions. They played a hard, rough gamethat at times resembled a footballscrimmage. After having lost theopening initiative the team reboundedtin the second half to make an attemptat a rally. Unfortunately, it was acase of too little, too late.

    Tomorrow at Briggs Field the Card-inal and Grey will host the BostonUniversity eleven. Game time is slatedfor 10:30 a.m. and once again MITis out to repeat a victory of last yearwhen the Terriers were shut out 4-0.Some changes will probably occur inthe defense in order to avert anotherfive goal scoring splurge by the oppo-sition.
