Extra! Technology Aidsin Sending Flood News

Driving all night on dirt roadsto avoid the main highways andrivers, two cars carrying Tech-nology radio experts and an As-sociated Press correspondentpenetrated the flood regions ofVermont at Brattleboro, accord-ing to the latest reports fromthe Associated Press.

Pushing their way along thedark Mohawk Trail Saturdaynight, the two automobiles,rigged up with short wave trans-mitters and receivers, wereforced to go to Greenfield beforethey could find a bridge to getacross the Connecticut River,all the other bridges havingbeen washed away by one of theworst floods in New Englandh isto ry.

Car number one, in charge ofJames K. Clapp '23, instructor,and carrying the correspondent,is equipped with sending andreceiving apparatus under thecall of 1XAN. Car number two,in charge of A. H. Brolly and L.T. Goldsmith, both of the Insti-tute, is equipped with similarradio facilities and will act asa relay station under the callletters 1XMA.

Flood disaster messages willbe intercepted by 1X-V at SouthDartmout:h, owned by Col. H. R.Greene and operated by Tech-nology students, and by a sta-tion at Technology, IXAM. Inturn, they will be relayed to theAssociated Press offices. Atnight a wavelength of 85 meterswill be employed while a 40 me-ter wave will be used for day-light work. These facilities forthe flood disaster news weremade available by courtesy ofInstitute officials.

Ralph1 Jope and his marshaling co-hlorts had a pretty easy time puttingdowen the embryo Soplil-frosh riots lastFriday. And what with three Can-tabridgian guardians of the peace pa-trolling the grounds, we don't wlonderthe fights were so tame.

INSTITUTE ACQUlIRES'09 WHITE STEAMER

Technology is now the possessor ofone of the last "White Steamers"manufactured. This automobile hasa lengthy history, having be-en theofficial car of ex-President Taft. Largeside pockets are suggestive of theautomatic pistols which secret servicemen formerly carried there. A Georgialicense shield still adorns the dash.The car is a 1909 model, of 40 hors-epower, and is in excellent condition.

Henry P. Merriam '86 donated thiscar to the Automotive EngineeringDepartment for the conducting of vari-ous tests. Mr. Merriam successfullycompleted a 1200-mnile trip in thissame vehicle without the least me-chanical trouble.

FIELD DAYIF TEAMSBANQUET GUESTS

Hear Speeches Praising TheirConduct on Friday's

Battlefield

Speaking before almost 100 membersof the Field Day teams at their ban-quet Saturday night, Dr. Rockwell '96congratulated the two lower classeson the way which they condtlctedthemselves Friday. He told the menthat the classes of 1930 and 1931 hadset a precedent which succeedingclasses might well follow. Followingthe usual custom, Dr. Rockwell pre-senlted the football used in Friday'sgame to Catptain Ahlberg, leader ofthe victorious freshman team.

Captain Byrne of the Sophomoreteam gave a short talk in which hecongratulated the freshmen on theirvictory and said he had no alibis tooffer for the defeat of his team. Heextended the thanks of Sophomores toJoe Parks for his work in coachingtheir team and presented him with acigarette lighter as a token of appre--ciation for his work. The freshmanmanager made a similar presentationto Frank Silva, who coached thefreshman team. Both coaches made afew remarks on Friday's game to theeffect that the freshman victory wasdue to better playing on the part ofthe freshmen and also to their abilityto capitalize the mistakes of the Soph.omores. They said that the freshmendeserved all the more credii-lor win-ning because a freshman victory in

Finally living up to their early sea-son form, the Technology harriers rantheir best race of the year againstTufts on Friday afternoon at Frank-lin Park. and swamped the Brown andBlue by the score of 17 to 45. Capt.Ppte Kirwin, Norm McClintock, andLeon Thorsen finished in a dead heatfor first place 100 yards ahead of Capt.Johnson of Tufts.

On their showing in previous meetsthis year, Tufts was expected to putup a real fight, but the Engineers werenot to be denied and after coveringthree miles were assured of victory,as the first five men were all fromTechnology. The Cardinal and Graybig five: Kirwin, McClintock, Thorsen,Worthen, and Mitchell, were all run-ning in fine form as they ploddedthrough the mud and water on theFranklin Park course.

Capt. Paul Johnson of Tufts, whohad been expected to be in the runningfor first place, was in the ruck at theearly part of the race, but as the run-ners approached the three mile markhe began to pull up on the leadersgradually. After three and a halfmiles he passed Newell Mitchell andat four miles he went by Chuck Worth-en. He continued to gain on the firstthree men as they ran the last mile,but finished a hundred yards in therear. The Tufts captain was com-iulettelv outrun and the first threeTechnology men could have opend upa bigger lead if it had been necessary.

Chuck Worthen and Newell Mitchellfinished after the Brown and Blueleader. giving Technology five out ofthe first six places. Ed Holmes, HalBlackwood, and Hal Dick also figuredin the scoring by taking eighth, ninth,and twelfth places for Technology.

In the freshman race, run over athree mile course, the Technology run-ners also triumphed, by even a moreoverwhelming margin than in theVarsity race. Six of the first sevenmen were Cardinal and Gray runnersand the final score was 34 to 77. Capt.Baltzer and McSheehy took the firsttwo places for Technology with Meuseof Tufts third. Semple, Murphy, Me-Erayne, and Allbright took the nextfour places and assured the Instituteteam of a clean-cut victory.

Coach Oscar Hedlund was verymuch pleased with the showing madeby his two cross country teams, es-pecially as the time for the New Eng-lands is so near.

FOC

FRESHMAN DEFEATIS BRIGHTENED BYFOOTBALL VICTORYIn one of the most hotly contested

class struggles staged at Technology,the Sophomores succeeded in repuls-ing the freshman forces by the scoreof 8 to 5. The class of '31 gainedits points by winning the footballgame 6-0, all the remaining eventsgoing to the Sophomores. In revengefor their defeat, the freshmen throughforce of numbers inflicted a decisivedefeat on the Sophomores in the glovefight by taking 137 red gloves andlosing only 93 of their own. In addi-tion much zest was added to the after-noon's program by the informal fightswhich were incessantly being stagedbetween the warring classes. In these,because of their superior class organ-ization, the Sophomores came out vic-torious nearly every time.

Sophs Win Crew RaceIt was in a drizzling rain that a

small but enthusiastic group of sup-porters watched the crews of the twoclasses maneuvering for a start short-ly after 8 o'clock on Friday morning.

JWild cheers from the Sophomore fac-tion resounded as their crew gained afull length at the start, but as thiswas because a man in the freshmanboat had caught a crab, a new startwas ordered. Again the Sophomoreeight gained a lead. OI the secondstart, the second year crew managedto pull out a halflength in front ofthe freshmen, maintaining this leaduntil the bridge was reached. There,though they had all the time been row-ing at a higher stroke than the yearl-ingS, they raised their count, andby the time the finish line was reachedhad stretched their advantage overtheir opponents to a full length. An-other outbulrs t of '30 cheers camefi om the bank as the crews crossedthe line, giving the Sophomores thefiirst three points of the Field Dayscore.

Fight for Class FlagsTo revenge their defeat, the vearl-

ing. supporter got a ladder and startedto climb the flagpole between BuildingTwo and Walker from which a 1930banner was flying. The Sophomoreswere hot on their trail and in thefight that followed, the ladder was putout of commission permanently. Butthe freshmen had the advantage ofnumbers and after a while one of theirnumber succeeded in "shinning" upthe entire height of the staff and tear-ing down the '30 banner.

Later on another Sophomore bannerwas raised on the pole near the track-house. This time they took precau-Lions to grease the flagstaff, makingall attempts to reach the banner fruit-less. Finally, a steeplejack, hired bythe Institute, arrived on the scene,and with the aid of climbing irons,took it down.

It looked bad for the Sophomoresat I o'clock, when the Field Day bandassembled at the entrance of Build-ing Two to lead the parade to thestands with a throng of about 200howling freshmen lined up behind it,and a comparatively insignificantgroup of 50 Sophomores standing offto the side. No sooner had the bandstarted to move however, than thesmaller group rushed the head of theline in a body, and fell in line aheadof the freshmen. An attempt wasmade by a small force to get the fresh-man leader's megaphone, thus causinga disturbance at the head of the yearl-ing line which held them all back andallowed the Sophomores. to follow theband in orderly fashion to the fieldgate. Here more struggles ensued,and more megaphones were ruined.

Frosh Charge '30 StandsShortly after the men had all gained

the stands, kazoos were distributedamong the Sophomores, and from thenon, in irregular intervals the noise ofthem was to be heard above the usualdin. At approximately the same time,the second year men hoisted theirdummy in their midst. It was a dum-my- in caricature of a freshman, andits ridiculous appearance so enragedthe first year men that they imme-diately precipitated a fierce rush onthe Sopnomore stands to try and de-Pstoy the hated effigy.

OVERWHELM SOPHS i

IN THE GLOVE FIGHT|It w^as shortly after this that Presi-

dent Samuel W. Stratton arrived andtook his place in the b~ox speciallyconstructed for him in the reservedstands. As he entered the stands, theentire crowd greeted him by rising totheir feet and clappifng.

In the relay race, which was thefirst event of the afternoon, the Soph-omores had no trouble in opening upa large lead on their opponents. Theynever lost the lead after the first lap,and at the finish, Fred Ladd broke thetape a full 40 yards ahead of the lastfreshman. This made the Field Dayscore 6-0 in favor of the Sophomoresso far. Following this came the firsttug-of-war in which the Sophomorespractically pulled their opponents offtheir feet before it had really started.Thus f;ar things looked rather blackfor the freshlmenl.

However, from the very start of thefootball game, it was evident that the,freshmen, had the advantage. TheSophomores fought gamely, and forthe first half the result was a score-less tie. In the second tug-of-war, theSophomores had the bad side of thefield and the result was a long see-saw battle which lasted a minute and38 seconds. The ultimate outcome wasa Sophomore victory, giving them tug-of-uwar, two more points, and FieldDay. However, this also marked theend of the Sophomore victories in thefield.

Comedy Ends i n BattleAt this time, the Sophomores pulled

another little stunt that roused theire of their opponents. A small manin a '30 football uniform, and a hugefellow dressed in a 1931 outfit startedscrapping with considerable ado in thecenter of the football field. The fresh-man representative was soon knockedout, and a group from the Sophomorestands rushed out wsith a dump cartand shovels, shoveled him ill, and pro-ceeded to a cart him lawaay. Mean-whlile the crowd in the Sophomorestands struck tip "Farmer Gray." Aninfuriated mob of freshmen rushed outto stop the outrage, and were closelyfollowed by a crowd of Sophomores,The fight that ensued w as quicklybroken up with the result that thedumpl cart continued on its way to thneSophomore stands in safety.

S~oon after the opening of the sew-ond half of the football game, a fresh-manl interceplted one of the Sophomorepasses and r aced for a touchdown.The try for goal failed, lblt the yearl-illgS managed to prevent their op-ponlents from scoring at all, thus gain.ing, the five points that their classscol ed in the afternoon.

Enter the Fire HoseTow ards the close of the last quar-

ter of the football game, there wasla sudden, unexpected clearing of thefreshman stands. A group of Sopho-1mores had obtained a hose and fromthe r oof of the track house were di-recting a stream of water among theyearlings. The freshmen who stormedthe roof to put an end to the trickreceived the worst drenching of any,and as soon as the two gangs cameto -rips, the water was turned off toprevent it disturbing those in the re-served stands.

W~hen the football game had ended,members of the two classes were givena glove each, Sophomores red, andfreshmen white, and were lined upfacing each other on the forty yardlines w aiting for the signal to clashwith each other in the glove fightin which they were to try to get theiropponents' gloves, but keep theirown. The freshmen, who outnumberedthe second Iyear men almost two toone soon were able to malte their num-bers count, and before the battle hadbeen long- under way, many Sopho-mores found themselves hopelesslysmothered by four or more yearlings.Indeed, during the whole affair, thebattle seemed to be centered in thesepiles, a great many of which were scat-tered about the field. A number of

fi 6e lances were wandering about fromtime to. time looking for work, butwith an appearance of being rather

"What's less than nothing?" TheLounger settled back complacentlyand let the blue rings float lazily to-ward the ceiling. He had at last foundthe answer. Early Saturday morningscores of peppy young frosh had passedhim, still elated at their triumphaldefeat of the day before. Not onespoke to the Lounger, or so much asglanced in his august direction. Nowif they had never spoken to him be-fore, what was it now? Ah, there'sthe answer-less than nothing. Trueenough, thought the Lounger, snob-bishness, high-hattedness, breeding-of-

1-the-boa rgeoisie, or what have you?are all something, but they are bestmeasured in the negative. The Loun--er 'wondered if the present yearlingbunch could ever reach the minusmark that the class of '30 reached thisyear in the positive direction.

Did anybody get as big a kick asthe Lounger did when Ralph Jopewaddled across the field at his maxi-mum velocity to save the roof of therifle range? As a lithe, supple trackman Ralph would make a dandy-well,class president. Anyhow, scarcelyenough can be said for the success hehad-he and the other marshal-inbeing wherever the lowerclassmenleast wanted him.

Speaking of the frosh being all wet,it took the super minds of the Sopho-mores to discover that a hose wouldn'tsquirt unless the water were turnedon. As for the diplomacy of it, theSolphs even went so far as to get theMajor's permission to give the losersa soaking, Not even could the al-mighty Puss Slagle with his borrowedboots keep the hydrants locked in theface of such a commendable purpose.The fact that it was all done to givethe photographers a bit of action wasnoble in itself, even though they werenowhere in sight from the time thefirst dribble appeared till the standswere so suddenly cleared of the cour-ageous greenies.

In the mind of the Lounger, only aTech man could keep seated duringthe singing of his Al-ma Mater song;it was really pitiable to see the hatsand derby that didn't have the senseto come off when the Stein Song was

It seems that theylost their donkey mascot (what couldhave been more symbolic?) beforethey could even show it to the rest ofthe class.

With a remarkable combination ofThomas Meighan, a dramatic actor ofunusual ability; James Cruze, who di-,rected such successes as "The CoveredWagon" and "'Old Ironsides," has de-veloped an original story, "The CityGone Wild," which is the chief screenattraction at the Metropolitan Theatrethis week.

"The City Gone Wild" is a melo-drama of the underworld, givingMeighan one of the most powerfulcharacterizations he has had. He isa criminal lawyer, who, for love of agirl, turns prosecuting attorney. Thegirl's father, a capitalist, is the realking of the underworld, and about thissituation is built a strong story thatallows for fine acting.

"The City Gone Wild" deals with acrime wave and the gangsters' war onthe police. Machine guns play havocin the streets. Gangsters, at the insti-gation of the man of wealth, slay adistrict attorney. Meighan battlesthe leader in a bare-fisted fight, toavenge the death of his friend. Andthroughout, the gill he loves misunder-stands him and he is continually be-ing torn between love and duty.

Paramount has assembled an excep-tional cast to support Meighan. Mari-etta Millner, Louise Brooks, Fred Koh-ler, WTyndham Standing and GunboatSmith are a few of the outstandingmembers.

John Murray Ancderson has deviseda new stage band production withmany unusual and effective ideas."Shadowland" is the show's title and

it features many dancers and vocalartists in addition to Gene Rodemichand the augmented Met jazz band.

An orchestral production, "Studiesfrom Faust," accompanied by theGrand Orchestra, under the directionof Arthur Geissler, will give a tabloidversion of the highlights of the fa-lIous opera The presentation willfeature Georges Dufrance, formertenor of the Metropolitan Opera, IvanSteschenke, basso, and the Metropoli-Lan. ballet.I

I - J~Xwlarges-setiwE ,~u~di pe=4~t" worciieaTHE "GLOVE FIGHT"-A BRAND NEW TRADITION

THE concensus of opinion from those few post-mortem "bull-

sessions" which we have heard since last Friday afternoonpoints plainly to the fact that the "Glove Fight" is to become anintegral part of Field Day and a brand-new tradition at Tech-nology.

The Executive Committee of the Institute Committee sulg-gested the "Glove Fight", and to them goes the credit for itssuccess. The event was instituted by them in an effort to pro-vide some plan whereby the freshmen and Sophomores couldbe brought together in physical combat and yet have themspread out in groups over the battlefield. This provision wasnecessary in order to avoid the recurrence of the unfortunatedeath which occurred in an undergraduate "Cane Rush" yearsago. In this "Rush" the students always formed into a gi-gantic mob and grilled around in a mad frenzy attempting tolay hands on the "cane". The new plan was presented as aprobable solution of the problem of real danger which such amob would cause.

The first performance of the "Glove Fight" as seen last Fri-day afternoon seems to satisfy all demands. It allows the totalfighting strength of both classes to be usdagis_ ec ohrIt provides a met-hod of easy recognition of combatants. Itseparates the fighting into small groups and reduces the dang-er of mob action to a minimum. It provides a definite methodof determining the winner. It provides different intensities ofcombat to suit individual temperaments. And finally, it is avery interesting and impressive sight ferom the spectator's pointof view, especially when viewed from the grand-stand, towatch the opposing classes line up, the Sophomores waving redgloves aloft and the freshmen white olles. and then at a shot,of the pistol to see both sides charge each other and break up immediately into man-to-man encounters all over the field.

Probably the real reason why the event has been-so well re-ceiv~ed is that it is in every sense a real "he-man's" battle. Wesaw at least two drozen combatants lying prone on the field, -notbadly hurt, but simply dead tired, winded, and all wvorn out.For those fellows who wanted it, there was more than ampleopportunity to work off their interclass rivalry and enjoy areally good scrap.

We welcome the "Glove Fight" as our newest Technologytradition, and congratulate its originators and also the spirit ofthe classes of 1930 and 1931; for it is these two classes whowill be remember ed as those which established the tradition.

AS YOU LIKE IT

To the Technology students whosecontact witl Shakespeare has beenlimited chiefly to class room study inprep school, one of Shakespeare'scomedies on the stage sounds morelike study than amusement. Yet inthe production of "As You Like It"at the Repertory Theatre one finds ananmusing production which holds itsown with modern plays for producinga pleasant evening.

Although the play is considerablysplit up into numerous acts and sceneswhich make it hard for the audienceto get into the spirit of the play dur-ing the first few scenes, it soon betsinto the swing of the play and isthoroughly enjoyable. The excellentacting, particularly of those in themale parts, makes the play go acrossvery well.

All sorts of humor are packed into 1the play from innumerable puns toc'omlic characters such as Le Beau, acourtier, Touchstone, a clown, andAudrey, Touchstone's lady love. Thestory itself is amusing so that it hasan advantage over the present playsin its diversified humor as the usualmodern play included but one of twotypes. The plot is fairly well knownto those who have studied Shake-speare.

TARBOE. by Gilbert Parker. NewYork: Harper & Brothers. $2.00.

'"The Story of Life," the subtitle to"Tarboe," Gilbert Parker's latest novel,sounds the true note of the generalcharacter of this work. To the readerthere is obviously no reason why theauthor did not call this work a biog-raphy instead of a novel, for from allaspects it is in full accordance withthe loose rules concocted by criticsthat would place it in this class. Thereis the possibility that the author asa, matter of sound business policychose to call it a novel, since afterall few are those who ever heard ofFrank Tarboe. And surely, one couldnot sing of the glorious deeds done byprobably the greatest successfulgambler that ever lived.

Frank Tarboe, born sometime in themiddle of the 19th century in ameagre wigwam, whose father was aFrench gentleman, probably spent themost fascinating and exciting life oneever heard of. His parents died be-fore he was ten, and the only means

of livelihood that they left him wasa knowledge of cards and a good shotwith the gun. He used the gun alittle, but the cards the rest of his life.He traveled around the world severaltimes playing internationally famousgamblers and swindlers of all rankandi class. Many of his gentlemanlyencounters ended with fist-fights andduels, Tarboe always the winner andvictor. Besides having a wonderfulmemory, he had more luck than onecan imagine. At one time he brokethe bank at Monte Carlo, a feat onlyfew have accomplished

Gilbert Parker writes this "story oflife" because the qualities of his char-acter were so unfortunately paradoxi-cal. Tarboe was a man of very soundand healthy character and to some ex-tent refined; however, he was a halfbreed andl engaged in a pastime thatis a menace to society. His occupa-tion often put him in gaol, and markedhim as a gambler. But Sir GilbertParker says that if he should ever beJn difficulty he should first considergoing 'ohis friend Tarboe. Awayfrom the ca~rd table thiis gambler was

In a lisagreeable drizzle coupledwith a high wind, Coach Haines or-dered the two class crews out about8:15 last Friday morning to start theathletic program for the day. Thetwo shells were launched just afterthe Varsity and Jayvees came in fromtheir regular trip down the river.The Sophomores were the first off thefloat, and rowed upstream beyond thenew Cottage Farm bridge, waiting forthe frosh to go to the line first.

At approximately 20 minutes aftereight, both crews were fighting thechoppy seas in an effort to hold theirpositions at the starting line. TheSophomores got off to a rapid start,and in an effort to overtake the upper-classmen, a freshman caught a crabwithin the first dozen strokes, and thecrews were called back. The seconltime all went well, and the Sophs tooka lead of about three-qluarters of alengtl, *-whieh they held all the no.ayto the Harvard bridge.

The open water between the twobridges was very rough, and a slightdrizzle remaining from the earlymorning rain complicated matterseven further. The Sophs ^were feath-ering neatly but the inexperiencedfrosh seemed to be having difficultie§with the high waves The freshmenwere much the more exhausted as thetwo boats went under Harvard b idge,hut they put on a spurt that broughtthem to within a quartel of a lengthof equality with the upperclassmen.

With about the distance from Build-ing 2 to WValker remaining- the Sophboat increased their stroke, and rantheir lead up to a little over a boat-length at the finish, despite the year-lings' efforts to keep alongside. Asmall crowvd at the finish line cheeredboth crews, anl they replied with thecustomary cheers for their opponents,before turning around for the returnjourney. The freshmen plainly dem-onstrated that with more practicethey will be a dangerous outfit, and acredit to any institution. The Sophsexhibited good form and a skill onlyto be obtained from long practice asa unit.

The extra race, scheduled for theopener on the program, was held after-wards. By this time, the rain and-wind had abated considerably, andconditions were almost ideal for row-ing. The second frosh were leadingthe ineligibles for a slight margin atabout the halfway point, when bow'sslide in the ineligible boat becamejammed, anda more than a half-dozenstrokes were lost in a fruitless en-deavor to repair the damage. The in-eligible crew continued the race prac-tically as a seven-oared shell, andwere nearly able to retain their posi-tion without increasing the four orfive lengths by which they trailed.The second frosh bore steadily on theoars clear to the finish line, andlooked like a Varsity outfit as theypulled in, the victors by some fivelengths.

Coach Oscar Hedlund is lookingforward to the strenuous indoor sea-son already and this week started hisVarsity relay candidates oi condi-tioning work. Many of them arenow ghi'g arohnd the circuits withthe cross country men, so they will bein good shape when the board trackwork begins.

Springfield defeated easily the Technology soccer team by a3-0 score in a fast game on the Coop last Saturday afternoon.In spite of the fact that Springfield had the ball in Cardinaland Gray territory throughout most of the game the engineersput up a real fight. From the start it could be seen that Spring-field was by far the better team as they got hold of the balland quickly worked it down into Technology territory. If itwere not for Wyman who seemed to be all over the goal, theSpringfield players would have scored many more times thanthey did.

'HAVY SOPHOMsORESOUTPULL FRESHMEN

Yearlings Made Good ShowingBut Weight Handicap

Was Too Much

Showing the effects of former ex-perience the Sophomore tug-of-warteam won the decision from the yearl-ings on two consecutive pulls. Theupperclassmen had a big advantage inthe fact that their average weight wasapproximately three pounds heavierthan their rivals. The sodden condi-tion of the field hindered both squadsconsiderably as was evidenced by themanner in which they srid over theground.

Tug-of-war was the first event onthe afternoon Field Day program andas both class teams ran out onto thefield it seemfied a difficult task to picklthe winner. With the crack of thelpistol the battle was on. The Sopho-mores seemed to take their opponentscompletely off balance, pulling themalong consistently and apparently atwill. The frosh seemed unable tomake any resemblance of a stand andthe result was inevitable.

By the time that the teams reportedfor the next match the relay race hadbeen won by the Sophomores. givingthem a 6-0 lead since they had w onthe crew race earlier in the day. Al-so the first half of the football gamehad been played, with the yearlingsshowing decidedly better form. It be-came apparent to all that 1931 had anexcellent chance of winning Field Dayif they could annex two points fromltug-of-war.

Spurred on by the hopes of victory,the frosh came out ready to do olrdie. This time they managed to turnthe tables and at the pistol shotcaught the Sophs off balance. Itseemed for a few minutes as if theywould win easily. They pulled theiropponents forward about three yardsand were headed for the victory pathwhen the Sophomores suddenly braced.pulled back again, made up their lostdistance and had a comfortable mal-gin at the finish. With this event con-cluded the final I esult of Field Daywas assured.

|RILEY AND HARDY STAR

WYith the opening of Friday's foot-ball game the frosh started the big-gest surprise of the afternoon whichended in the Sophomores losing thefootball game, 6-0. Coach Silva's menwere certainly there from the startwith the fight. Playing on a slipperyfield which was an advantage for theheavier second-year men, the yearlingline not only stopped the Sophs butmade the holes for their own backs.

Overeagerness set the Sophs backright at the start for a beautifulkickoff by Johnny Byrne had to betaken over from five yards back.Starting with the kick, the froshstarted to rush the ball into Sopho-more territory and continued to doso all through the first half with onlya few setbacks. The first came whenthe Sophs recovered a fumble andkicked, putting the frosh a long wayback. Immediately the frosh resumedtheir original tactics and with somenice rushing took the ball deep intothe Sophomore territory only to be,for downs.

Real football was shown by the froshall through the half. They seemedable to get through the second-yearline almost at will until they got welldown to the line when the Sophs rosein desperation and held. With someslight aid from the referee on off-side penalties the yearlings made along series of first downs. Neitherside managed to score in the first halfbut the advantage certainly was withthe f rosh.

When the second half opened theadvantage seemed to have swung theother way anld the positions werereversed for the Sophs toolk the of-fensive and repeatedly carried the ballinto the yearling's ground only to loseit, have the frosh kick, and be forcedto start the drive all over again. Itbegan to look as though the Sopho-mores had a good chance of taking thegame.

In spite of the fact that it was theSophomore's period the frosh madethe only score of the game in thethird quarter. Grondal, the frosh full-back, stepped into a pretty Sophomorepass and ran with the ball the restof the field for a touchdown. Histeammates failed to come through withthe point after the touchdown to bringthe count to seven.

Starting in to even the score theSophomores settled into a steady rushwhich lasted the rest of the gameand just missed scoring several times.Steele, the Sophomore quarter, elr-tainly ran his team in real footballstyle and easily was the outstandingplayer on the team. He received realsupport from his line and Pratt at full lwas making some good gains. Rileymade way with some good runs andtook the receiving end of a coupleof long passes. On one pass he wasbeside the minature lake and splashedup the frosh sidelines in great style.

Dr. George S Arunldale, noted edu-cato>r, will address the faculty andstuldents of the Institute in Room 10-250 at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Hissubject is "The Studenlt's Place in Fu-ture World Development.''

Dr. Arundale was educated in vari-ous countries of Europe, graduatingwith honors from Cambridge Univer-sity. In the 25 years of his publiccareer, Dr. Arundale has been promi-nenltly associated with the IndianHome Rule Movement, in the greatre-awakening of education and learn-ing in Inldia, and recently with thedevelopment of the Labor Movementthere.

He lectures in Steinert Halltomorrow night on "America, HerPower and Her Purpose," under theauspices of the Annie Besant Lodgeof the Americanl Theosophical Society.

SOPHOMORES TAKEMEASURE OF FROSH

(Continued from Page 1)tired. By the end of the melee, every-one was completely exhausted, somueh so that there was not even awish, not to speak of an attempt tostart a parade. A peculiar feature ofthe fight was that towards the endthere were but one or two red glovesto be seen,but the final score, whichstood 137 to 93 in favor of the fresh-men seems to indictate that there musthave been a number of Sophomoregloves which were hidden and guardedfrom capture in that way.

Stein Song Concludes DayIll this fight, as in all the oth]ers,

its was almost impossible to tell whowere friends and who enemies if therewas no glove for identification. Inone case early in the day, a me-a-Phlone was demolished by a group ofSophomores for no apparent reasonat all.

At the conclusion of the glove fightthe band struck up "The Stein Song,"and the combatants, wearily rising totheir feet and gathering around theballd, all joined in. Finally Sopho-mores and freshmen, no longer deadlyenemies, dispersed peacefully and,headed for their various abodes.

T. C. A. MEETING FOR,FRESHMEN ENTRANTS

There will be a meeting of the Tech-nology Christian Association in -theFaculty Dining Room in Walker at5 o'clock this afternoon, which is be-ing held for the benefit of freshmenand any others who wi-sh to come outfor the T.

THE DIARY OF RUSSELLEBERESFOIRD

THE DIARY OF RUSSELL BERES-FORD, Edited by Cecil Roberts. NewYork, George H. Doran Co. $2.50.

Diaries are bad enough, but thediary of an archaeologist would beten times worse according to the popu-lar ideas. Archaeologists are not asa general rule considered to be roman-tic characters. Yet "The Diary ofRussell Beresford," a young archae-ologist who died in 1924, reads like aromantic novel rather than a truediary. Only the names have beenchanged since it was written as mostof the people mentioned are still alive.

Even the start of the romance be-tween Beresford and an Americanwo-lan who is already married isquite unusual as it arises from ananonymous letter. Due to the detailand attempted self-analysis of thediary, it is easy to follow the develop-ment of the affair. Each one tries toforget the other but it is impossible.There are numerous obstacles in theway that prevent a divorce but theirlove overcomes their fear of theworld's remarks. The romance itselfis one which would do credit to a goodnovel.

There is also a considerable amounton archaeology in the diary whichraises archaeology from a dead sub-ject followed by half dead individualsto a live and interesting subject whosefollowers are intensely human. Beres-ford's views on subjects which he en-counters in his travels are quite enter-taining, especially when he speaks ofsuch subjects as Americans, Mussoliniand tourists.

Beresford was a good writer and hisdiary is an excellent piece of writing.Its chief interest arises from his self-analysis which gives the reader a goodinsight into the man's character andits development during the course ofthe year before his death which thel ecord covers. As a novel the bookwou~l1d be well worth while, so as atrulle story of up-to-date life it makeseN en more interesting reading

FROSH ELEVEN WINSFROM SCRAPPY TEAM

(Continued from Page 3)For all their work the Sophomores

failed to score on the yearlings andit was noticeable that all the good

gains of the Sophs were around oneDf the line. The reason was easy to-see for the fresh captain, Ahlberg,-paying at tackle was a regular tower-of strength holding up his end of theline and sending the runs the other-way. He was hurt in the last play ofthe day and had to be helped off the.field.

No one can doubt that the frosh

earned their win for they were work-ing together beautifully and were pre-senting a real front and fighting witha real spirit against a theroreticallybetter team. Hardy played a reallysensational came for the frosh as did

Phlil Riley for the Sophs. Both teamsseemed to about equal in playing abil-ity when the game is taken as a wholebut the factor that gave the froshtheir win was that they watched theball more, closely. It was due to this

FIELD DAY TEAMSBANQUET GUESTS

(Continued from Page 1)Field Day football has been very un-usual in the past.

After each of the Field Day captainshad made a short speech, Dr. Rockwellcommented upon the sportsmanlikeway in which they took their defeatsas well as victories. This, he said,was the true Field Day spirit

Professor Prescott, president of theAlumni Association, said that this'year's Field Day was a credit to theInstitute and that the Alumni areproud of the way in which it was car-ried out.

Assistant Dean Lobdell made theaward of the Cabot medals to fivemembers of the class of 1930 for im-provement in physical condition as aresult of freshman physical training.The men who received the awardsare: M. WV. Firth, R. Roseman, F. G.Suhr, R. Fanning and I. F. Delehanty.Dr. A. W. Rowe '01, the final speakerof the evening, spoke of the successof this year's Field Day and of theglove fight in particular. The glovefight, he said, gave everyone an oppor-tunity to have all the fun they wantedand it left no unpleasant aftermath inthe minds of those who loved Tech-nology.

The passing around of the Field Daycup concluded the banquet. As eachman handled the cup, he gave hisname, class, and home residence.When the cup finally returned to Dr.Rockwell, who was toastmaster of theevening, he partook of the "unferment-ed apple juice" to the health of thosepresent.
