Four Princeton crews triumphed onLake Carnegie Saturday to make a cleansweep of the Teclhology -Princeton re-gatta. The Tiger varsit-, Javvwee, 150-pound, and freshman eights coasted homewith comfortable margins to triumpll oferthe Engineer boats. The varsity led byfour and one-half lengths at the finish,the Jayvees b- six, the ] -fltw-ights bytwo and one-half lengths over the Henleydistance, and the frcshmen sailed homefour lengths in front of the Tcchnologyoutfit.

During the starting sprint both varsityboats kept on cren terms, but the Prince-ton shell slowls forged alcadd as bothboats dropped to a more steacil- p)ace. Atthe quarter-mile miarl; the Tig-er shell hadpulled into a lead of about at !c'rtl, nindat the mile post tlic- hadl piclked ilp nelar]ythree lengths.

WILL NOT REQUIRECOLLEGE BOARDS

UNDER NEW PLANLimited Number of Students with

High Standards AdlmittedWithout Examinations

ACCEPT N. Y. REGENTS

An alternative method of admission tothe Institute for students from accreditedpreparatory and high schools was an-nounced today. These changes inicludeadmission without examiIlation of studentswho have been in the tipper fifth of theirclass for the last two vears of school, andacceptance of the New Yorl; State Regentsexaminations with high standing.

In announcing this alternative methodof admission, Professor James L. Tryon,Director of Admlissions, said: "The Insti-tute has alwavs maintained that thethorough training in English, History,languages, 1\athlematics, and Sciencegiven in the better class of high and Iprepar-atory schools is the best preparation forits courses. A recent studv of the recordsobtained in the Institute b-· men trainedin such schools shows that the majority

of those who rank itM the upper fifth oftheir classes have done exceedingly avellin their studies at Technology.

"In order to give recognition to suchsy-stematic and tlorough preparation,Technology wvill try the exlpcriment ofadmitting -itllout examinations those

applicants whlo submit satisfactory exi-dence of having completed their funda-mental training -vith hliglh standing.Beginning in Septenll)er 1933, the Insti-tute mill admit a limnitce nurmlber of stu-dents without examinations. .- smalltrial group will be admitted b)y- thismethod next September.

Encourage Students of Promise

"The Institute desires to encouragethose students whose qualities of cliar-aetcr aini intellect indicate their adapt-albility- to allt academic environment andwho1 sho-,% promise of dev-lopmcnt intouseful and forceful citizens."

In addition to maintaining a standingwithin the upper fifth of his class for thelast two , cars oE his Iprelparatory work,the student secliing admlmission wsithloutexaminations must Slave conImleted theprogram of subjects required by the Insti-tute.

TECHNOLOGY STARRANKS WITH GREATDISTANCE RUNNERS

His Two-Mile Run Is Second BeslTime In United States

This Year

BELL SETS "220" RECORD

Jack Kearns '32, veteran Technologytrack star, ran a sensational two-mile raceat the Greater Boston Intercollegiatetrack meet last Saturday in 9 minutes and28 seconds, to break a seventeen-year-oldInstitute record with the second fastesttwo-mile run in the United States thisyear. His phenomenal performance, whichcamne within 6 seconds of breaking theIC4A record, ranks him among tile coun-trv's greatest distance runners.

Dick Bell made a new Institute recordin the "220" with the fast time of 21 4-5seconds. He broke one of the oldest Insti-tute track records which was made bs-Carl Gram in 1909. Bell also wxon the 100-v ard dash with little difficulty. The trackwas soft from Friday's rain, wvhich snakesBell's feat all the more remarkable. LouHolladav wvas another Engineer to placeill the dashes. After winning his trialheats he breezed through to take third inthe "100" and fourth in the "220." Bothhe and Bell equalled the Institute recordof' 1(0 1-.5 seconds in the century.

Tlle team scored six first places andplaced in nearly even, other event. BostonCollege, howvever, wvon the mreet Mwith73 ]-2 points. Northeastern was secondwit it 68 points, and TecllnologyT rankedthiird with a total of 5U9 1-2 points. Har-lard wvas fourth wsith 24 points.

Mann Finishes Second

In the mile run Bobt Mann ran a finerace to finish second to Iaboy nahan ofBoston College. M~oynahran made a newmeet record and '.%,a-nn also broke the oldrecord. Mlann caught the Boston Collegerunner on the last lap but wvas not quitestrong enough to pass him.

In the "440" Captain Jewett led thefield -until the final stretch. He tookfourth in a close race. Goochy Smith qual-ified for the final of the "880" and thentook six~tl in a very fast field. Rimbach,Ball, and Dahl Hanson all placed.

Pierce Springs Surprise

Jack Robertson led the field in thejav elin, making a meet record with a throwof 190.9 feet. Edgar Pierce sprung ca sur-prise bay wvinning the pole-vault . NibatGreen tied for second in this event al-thioulgh he had to quit when he injured'isl egr.

A Recordof Co-nti-nuous

Newus Service forOver Fifty Years

WILBUR"The Chocolate Soldier"

Vivienne Segal and Charles Purcell in"The Chocolate Soldier," a light operain three acts; music by Oscar Straus.

Light operas like '"The Chocolate Sol-dier" are not written nowadays veryoften; indeed, light opera is almost neverwritten at all any more. The fashion hasshifted to musical comedies and revues,which have little plot and continuity, andno sustained music. In last night's pro-duction, the music is not only sustained,but is consistently tuneful. The high spotis, of course, the "My Hero" number atthe very beginning; but there are nomelodic low spots. It is a continuousmusical composition, and not a miscel-laneous collection of experimental dis-cords.

So much for the opera itself; its meritshave been generally recognized for anumber of years. A good manyr revivalsare distinctly disappointing; the producersskimp and economize on so mnany itemsthat the whole production looks shoddy.That is in general not true in this case,although the men's uniforms might havebeen better chosen. The ladies' costumeswere new, and the scenery and ensemblewere satisfactor .

Eminentlv satisfactory also were theprincipals. Miss Segal and A11r. Purcellare known on Broadway, and are of thefirst rank of musical show performers.Mr. Purcell was in excellent voice, butMiss Segal bad some trouble; she had towork rather hard for the high -notes. Bothturned in excellent performances.

Alessrs. Mulcahy, Dunsmore and Rogersdid first-class work, though some mightthink some of the comedv overdone; thefemale supporting cast left little to bedesired. We wonder how soon it will takethe producers to learn that a revival of agood show, well produced, will always fill the house; we see only too few of them.

Featured on the screen of R.K.O.-Keith's this week is another picture show-ing the timewsorn and haggard story ofthe night club. This reviewer had thoughtthat night club life was already nothingmore than a reminder of the pre-depressiondays, but evidently the producers of thepicture didn't think so.

Playing the main roles in this story ofsham gaiety and intimate details of thenight-club racket, are Boris Karloff, MaeClarke, and Lewv A)yres. The whole actionof the story takes place in a single -nightand is not worth the trouble of describingits threadbare complexities.

METROPOLITAN

"Sky Bride"

A time-honored plot and wvorn-outideas, but great flying and plenty of thrills;that is what this week's picture at theMetropolitan contains. Plot: heroic stuntflyer cracks up friend, turns yellow, andthen snaps out of his cowardice in timhe tosave child from dire death, thus redeeminghimself.

Only two crack-ups are featured in thepicture, but each one of them is worthwhile seeing; the rescue of the child isalmost hair-raising. A small cast, but itincludes Jack Oakie and Richard Arlen.

The stage review, "Slavique," has awell-trained set of dancers, besides a fairacrobatic exhibition; Bing Crosby knocksaway several notions about crooners bybeing very pleasant to listen to; RannyWeeks and Sevitzky play "Faust" uppretty well; and Martel is as bad as ever.

JUST DISGUSTT°young men seeking training for engineering, which in itselfTrequires accurate and efficient work, the actions of the presentCongress must be especially distasteful. For literally months, thisbody has been in session, and as the heat of summer and the timefor national conventions draw near, small-time politics occupy thebusiness hours of our representatives. While matters of nationalimportance hang in the balance, the interests of small constitui-encies are advanced and beaten back. The viewpoint of theCongress has been decidedly local, to the detriment of the nationas a whole. Inefficiency in dealing with nation-wide questions hasbeen rampant.

The recent step of President Hoover in reprimanding theCongress for its lack of activity in settling matters of a nationalnature meets with the approval of the people who now realize howlittle has been done. Without a doubt he is supported in his callfor action; and young engineers, if we may refer to students assuch, are among his staunchest supporters. The previous actionsof Congress have filled us with utter and justified disgust; we canonly hope that what has been started will continue through theremainder of the session.

THE NEW ENTRANCEE NTRANCE examinations seemed to be one of the items of a

college education which had to be endured. At least that wasthe case if a man swished to enter the Institute before this year.Up until this time it has been necessary for a prospective studentto take either the College Board Examinations or the regular fallInstitute examinations; there was no way to avoid them.

Technology has long had a reputation for being a school ofrigid entrance requirements and strenuous curricula, but a surveyof Institute marks and secondary-school records revealed theremarkable correlation which results in the announcement oftoday. The step taken in permitting men in the upper fifth of theirclasses to enter without examinations will doubtless meet with theapproval of almost everyone -- students, Faculty, and especially,the prospective Technology man.

UNAPPRECIATED SERVICETHERE is no t-ain without some loss. It is to the unfortunate

death of Richard M. Homberg '23, that Technology owes theexistence of the Homberg Infirmary, one of the most valuable aidsto the wvell-being of the student body that the Institute affords.The memorial to his name was erected from funds furnished partlyby his family, partly by Technology, and filled a long-felt want.

The Infirmary is primarily intended to minister to the needsof those members of the stud~ent body, Faculty, and employees,who are not sick enough to be admitted to a hospital, yet too sickto remain in their rooms without attention. A constant stream ofcolds, boils, and minor ills is always arising, cases which whentreated promptly cause no further trouble, but which can easilydevelop serious complications. There is no wray to tell how manydeaths from complications have been prevented by a few days ofsupervised rest in the Hornber- Infirmary.

One marked result of the creation of the Infirm-ary has beenavirtual stamping-out of contagious diseases amongy members of

the Institulte. AEt the first sign of such a disease in a person admittedfor treatment, the case is immediately isolated and put underobservation until it is definitely ascertained -whether the personhas the disease or not. Previous to the erection of the Infirmary,lack of the proper facilities prevented such a course.

A\n indication of the service the Infirmary renders to the stu-dent bodyr is furnished by the following figures. In the first yearof its existence it had some 19,0()0 patients; in the year 1930)-31,it had 2S,119 patients. Many parents, onl visiting the Infirmnary,have been influenced to have Technology, in preference to someother school, simnply because of the medical facilities available here.

THE TECH

ALLIGATORS TAKEFIRST GAME, 6-4

Defeat B. U. Jayvees AlthoughOuthit; Hall Pitches

Clever Game

Playing a smart game afield and provingeffective at bat, the Alligators, Tech-nology's unofficial baseball representa-tives, scored their first victory of theseason last Saturday at Coop Field, de-feating the Boston -University junior var-sity nine by a 6-4 count. In the fourthinning, with the score 3-0 against them,the Alligators staged a four-run rally toassume a lead that they held till the end.

Lefty Hall, on the mound for the win-ners, was hit rather freely, being touchedfor 17 blows, but he tightened up withmen on the bases, so that the Terriersecond-stringers were never able to scoremore than one run an inning. He passedtwo men and struck out seven.

Dick Smith was the team's leadinglbatter, collecting three safeties. Althoughouthit by the losers, 17 to 14, the .Alli-gators were able to deliver in the pinches,and far outplayed their rivals in the field,making only one error to their opponents'five.

No definite date has been decided upon

LACROSSE MEN WINFROM B. U. 5 TO 1

Technology's varsity lacrosse teambroke its jinx last Wednesday afternoonand defeated Boston University 5 goalsto 1 on the loser's field. Saturday after-noon the creasemen played an equallyimpressive game against the strong BostonLacrosse Club, but lost an early lead fora 5-4 defeat. Their season's record is nowone victory in eight games, with one con-test still to play.

Last WSednesday's victory over BostonUniversity showed a marked improvementin the Engineers' play. Safford led theplay, scoring two goals. The game onSaturday was much more exciting. TheBeavers led for more than half the contest,buit were unable to hold their advantage.

One more game remains on the schedule,with Dartmouth this Saturday. Althoughthe Hanoverites are reputed to have apowerful twelve, the Engineers will givethem an interesting tussle if they continuethe brand of play they have shown in thelast few games. The freshman team,wlhich lost its first start 16 to O. plays theTuifts yearlings tomorrow afternoon atMedford.
