Du Pont Dye Expert DiscussesChange of Color of Dye

With Structure

Meeting under the auspices of theM. I. T. Student Chemical Society, theNortheastern section of the AmericanChemical Society opened its programof monthly meetings for the season inthe Main Hall, Walker, Friday evening,when two outstanding experts in theirrespective fields disclosed the latestdevelopments in the sciences of vatdyes and dietetics.

Dr. Donald Macomber, noted gynae-cologist of the Harvard MedicalSchool, described recent experimentsconducted to test the effect of calciumdiet and other factors on growth andreproduction' in animal life. Slidesshowing photos and X-rays of Albinorats which were fed a diet deficient inlime indicated a marked weakening ofthe bone structure and lessening of thefecundity of the female, as well as agreat retardation in the developmentof the young.

Dr. Robert E. Rose, director of thetechnical laboratories of the DuPontCompany, discussed the chemistry oforganic dye systems, illustrating his-talk with lantern slides showing therelation between changes in the com-plex atomic structure of the dyes tothe corresponding color changes.

About 500 people attended this meet-iing, which was the first of a series ofmonthly meetings held at Technologyby the A. C. S. to discuss various im-

STUDENT GOES TOARCTIC CIRCLE ASRADIO OPERATOR

Spends Three Months as Mem-ber of McMillan Expedition

To Far North

STORM DRIVEN FOUR DAYS

Kenneth M. Gold '29 RelatesHbis Experiences Aboard

Schooner "Radio"

"I woke up with water pouring intomy bunk and all over the radio set,and with a feeling that somewhat re-sembled seasickness;" begins the threemonths' diary of Kenneth M. Gold '29of Course V, who shipped as radio op-erator on the schooner "Radio" of theMcMillan Arc-tic expedition that leftfolr the frozen circle in the early partof last summer. This brief openingsentence, written in a flooded cabin,gives one a good idea of the feelings ofthe tyro navigator in his first day outat sea June 25 off Wiscasset, Maine.

On the 110 foot schooner that carriedsupplies for the members of the expe-dition, Gold, who was selected from alarge number of applicants for theradio operator's job on the ship, foundhimself thrown in with an amiable 28-year-old captain, a mate of corpulentproportions, a mixed crew of seamen,and the sons of three Chicago million-aires who sponsored the voyagethrough the Chicago Field Museum ofNatural History. The "Radio" carrieda year and a half's provisions for themembers of the "Bowdoin," now up inthe Arctic region seeking natural his-tory specimens. The "Bowdoin" isnot expected back before Septemberof next year.

With rough water to greet the start:of'the expedition, -the Radio, Bowdoinand Seeko, a thirty-foot motor boat,left Wiscasset on June 25 as sched-uled, all headed for Dark Harbor, Me.,for a final send-off. The supplyschsoner Radio, finding the seas toorough, anchored at Boothbay Harbor,where in taking stock of the first day's"casualties," the radio operator discov-ered that "the set of batteries whichwere to run the radio and which hadlot been thoroughly fastened down by the engineer, fell from the shelveswhen the ship heaved over in a bigtide-rip, two cells breaking, all of themspilling acid and short-circuiting, andnearly causing a fire in the engine room." "We were forced to repair toRockland, Me.," he continues, "to havethe batteries .fixed, but since we couldspend, only a few hours there the bat-teries were merely refilled, and thebroken cells remained broken and leaking." This was only the first (day's disaster. I

The story of the three months' tlrip, 1from the day the Radio shoved oflfflrom the Wiscasset dock amid plaudits ito the day it dropped anchor off Glou- icesler September 15, reads like a Con- Irad tale with all its salty tang andS'igor of life on the high seas. The boat with its skeleton crew of ten smen covered in the short space of ltime thirty-three hundred miles at an average speed of six miles an hour, lmany times being forced to heave to efolr repairs, while being buffeted by,tempestuous seas. The Radio, a Bos-.ton fisherman schooner, although a sail boat, used its 120 horsepowersemi-Diesel engine practically throughthe entire voyage.

Pushing through heavy seas and Cdriving rain storms for four days andfour nights, the battered boat finally I

operated by a combination dial. Thiscombination is known to but a trustedfew on the bursar's staff. In addi-tion, the key to this door is possessedonly by these same chosen few.

Thirdly, the main vault door itselfis a formidable deterrent to robbery.This is of massive steel, and is alsoprdtected by the usual combinationlock. The vault itself is a large closet-like affair, built into the building, andsurrounded by solid re-enforced con-crete walls several feet thick. Thevault is fire proof and practicallyburglar-proof, but yet this is not safeenough for the Institute's cash! Onlythe important and irreplacable recordsare kept here. These, of course, areworthless to the safe-cracker.

Still more steel and concrete is con-sidered necessary to keep itchy fin-gers away from the cash. A small,yet practically impregnable wall safeis built into one side of the mainvault. This has a heavy circular doorof hardened steel alloy which fits sotightly that there is no opportunityto pour nitroglycerine into the safeto blow the door off. The combi na-tion of this safe is confided to butone or two persons in the office. Be-hind this fourth barrier is the cash-and not much at that! The most thatcan be here at one time is the amounttaken in at the cashier's office in onebusiness day, and the most of thisis in non-negotiable checks.

In addition to all these precautions,the watchmen make very frequent

Steel, Concrete, Trick LocksAnd a Complete Burglar

Alarm System Used

Once Uncle Horace gets your money,try and get it back! That is, by thesafe-cracking route. The Institute hasone of the most elaborate burglar-proof vaults in any college in the coun-try--one which is better than somebank vaults.

Four separate and independent bar-riers stand between the outsider andthe comparitively small amount ofcash which is stored in the Institute'svaults. The first of these is of coursethe doors to the offices of the bursarand the cashier. These are protectedby special locks, using specially madekeys. Blanks for these keys are un-obtainable in the ordinary locksmith'sshop, and thus duplication of watch-men's keys is prevented.

As a second line of defense, the In-stitute has its main vault located inthe center of a corridor, the accessto which is blocked at both ends bydoors of steel and glass, which arecompletely wired for burglar alarmsystems. Breaking the wired glassor forcing the door will immediatelyset off an alarm which will attractto the scene every watchman in thebuilding, and also a wagon-load ofCambridge police.

Legitimate access to this corridorcan be secured only by first shuttingoff the alarm by meanis of a switch

Followed by the mysteriousguardian black-hand which keepspaddy wagons within itsclutches, the rejuvenated' BlackMaria, purchased by the SigmaChis a few days ago, succumbedto shanghaiing Friday night andwas subsequently discovered inthe midst of the Cambridgedump Saturday afternoon in astate of physical fatigue. As yetno clues have been found butvarious institute cliques are un-der suspicion.

Thinking their pet chariotsafely locked in the parkingspace in front of their house, theSigma Chis became engrossed intheir dancing, totally unsuspect-ing that their criminal conveyorwas to be an entity of locomo-tion for a joy-ride.

BENCHMARK GOES TENFEET INTO BEDROCK

Earth Movement To Be StudiedFrom Technology Mark

Finishing touches put on Technol-ogy's benchmark on Charles RiverRoad consist of a protecting cover of20-inch tile pipe and a cap such as isused over the openings to large watermeters. This benchmark, which con-sists of a pipe filled with concrete,extends down through 110 feet of earthto the underlying bedrock and pro-jects 10 feet into this rock so that itis securely anchored to the locationand will not easly be affected bymovements of the filled-in ground onwhich the Institute stands. In thisrespect it is the only point of its kindin Cambridge and from it the move-ments of other points such as the for-mer mark on the corner of HarvardBridge and that on the Armory canbe determined.

At the time when the Technologybenchmark was being constructed menfrom the United States Coast Sur-vey were working in Boston andtied it up with their marks. It hasalso been connected with several rail-road benchmarks and the marks ofthe city of Cambridge.

The Advanced CourseRequirements

MUST FILL 50 VACANCIES

Institute Formerly Filled 30'Percent of Quota For

New England

Some misunderstanding as to thequalifications necessary for enroll-ment in the Advanced Course of theR. O. T. C. has existed in the mindsof some students who would like toenroll, and having come to the atten-tion of Col. Harold E. Cloke, head ofthe Department of Military Science,it is thought that some explanationmight serve to clear up the situa-tion for these students.

As a general rule, it is requiredthat a student shall be in the upperhalf of his class in scholastic stand-ing, but if, in the opinion of the pro-fessor in charge of his Institute course,he will graduate from the Institute,he is then eligible to enroll.

During the past years Technologymen have filled more than 30% ofthe quota for the entire New EnglandCorps Area: last year 1,181 students,Techenology had 365. Due to the factthat in the class of 1926 there were210 men in the Advanced Course whograduated and received commissionsin the Reserve Corps, a rather largernumber of vacancies have existed thanat any previous time, of which 50have still to be filled.

son Tickets Which AreSent With Schedules

Season tickets and schedules for althe Varsity and freshman athletic contests at Technology during the faland winter season will be sent to althe alumni living in the neighborhoo(of Boston by the end of this week. ThEseason tickets, if desired, may be purchased at a cost of $5.00.

This year the M. I. T. A. A. is making a special effort to increase the attendance both of the undergraduate-,and a[lumni at games. Heretofore thi,has been so poor that the opposingteam often has had a larger number ofsupporters present than Technology atgames played at the Institute.

By sending out season tickets andschedules in advance, the Athletic As

sociation plans to rouse the interestof alumn i and to give th em sulffiientlslong notice of all the games to enablethem to attend. It is hoped that thestudent body, and especially the frater.

nities and dormitories, will turn outin large bodies to back the Institutegames.

It is being planned this year to haveVarsity cheer leaders to organize the

support of the teams. These m en willprobably be chosen from among thosetwho serve as cheer leaders on FieldDay, and will be given a chance toearn thei r numerals.

TAU BETA PI HOLDSANNUAL CONVENTIONYesterday morning', at Columbus,

DhiD, the annual convention of TauBeta Pi, national honorary fraternity,was started. It will continue throughtoday and tomorrow and will closetomorrow evening. John Wr. Chamber-lain '28, who is representing the In-;titute chapter left for Columbus o n;Wednesday morning.

Tau Beta Pi fraternity is one of theargest honorary fraternities in theDountry. To become one of its mere-)ers a person must posses many stor-ing qualities. Primarily, the personnust rate very high scholastically. Inarsition to this, however, two of thenest important requisites are honesty,nd truthfulness. A good character,nentally and morally, is therefore re-puired in gaining admission to this,xclusive fraternity.

Each year a convention is held atwome place where delegates from allhe differ ent chapters assemble toether. Much of the time at theseOonventions is spent in discussing thelifweren t g ov ernment systems as con-lucted at the various colleges andniversities. S uch topics as studentseovernment, honor systems, and schoolLanagement are greatly discussed at

he conventions.

R ULES can be made, bus- they are of 'no consequence unlessenforced. When the freshman rules committee drew up

the regulations that were to affect every 1931 man, they mades§eemingly adequate provisions for the enforcement of the fewrules that they set dosvin. As yet, one can not attack the pro-posed system of enforcing the rules, for the undergraduateshave not lived up to their share of the bargain, which otherwisewould have placed the judicial system in full operation.

Most of the freshmen have obeyed the simplest and easiestrule; to wear the cardinal and gray tie. Why shouldn't theywant to wrear it? As to the remaining rules, they have not asmuch as made an attempt to carry them out. T'he undergradu-ates are sitting back in their chairs surprised or perhaps amusedonce in a great while by a meek "Hello" from a freshman. It.is surprising at the few freshmen that have been reported asoffenders. The small number reported should indicate thatthe rules were a -wonderful success and that all one could hearabout the Institute buildings were shouts and cries of "Hello,"and freshmen challenging undergraduates for -not returningtheir greetings. As we all know the scenes are much differentthan those pictured. On the approach of freshmen, under-graduates pass by iindifferent and aloof just as in the pastwhen rules were unknown. Freshmen need to be taken careof; they .4re young and frail, and their judgment of student;problems is that of a child. They can not realize how se-verely you may punish them when you lose your dignity andbecome angered.

These words are not intended to frighten the freshmen, forthey have been at the Institute long enough to know better;however, they are dir ected toward the upperclassmen, withthe Sophomore class underscored. It is supposed that you un-dernstand your share in the bargain. Are you going to let theClass of 1931 joke with you. Report every one of them. It issimple enough.

in the admirable qualities of another,some approximation to the i deal, thesympathy uncondaoning, that overlooksanother's shortcomings. In short, it isa. sympathy which is effectively yetnot detrimentally restrained. PhillipsRussell stands out vividly, in the fieldof biographical writers, as a man whois not carried away by emotionalfrenzy, nor personal opinions: a mostcommendable virtue.

So John Paul Jones is re-created forthe interested reader. Once more thiscommander courageous sails the seasbringing victory after victory to thenew-born States. Once again we seethe gallant fights that made the UnitedStates a pow er on the seas, makingpossible the winning o-f the Revolit-tionary War. We get an intimate pic-ture of this fastidious hero of the sea,whlose outward sane froid completelymasked the sensitive nature below.

While from a naval strategic stand-point, his life was a tremendous suc-cess for the flag under which hesailed; from his own viewpoint, hislife was a colossal failure. The evi-dence as presented seems to pointconclusively to the fact that his -secretambitions were never realized.

John Paull Jones is a character wellworth knowing more about. PhillipsRussell is a writer who knows how toportray the life in a vivid, human,often humorous, always sympatheticmanner. "John Paul Jones: Man ofAction" is the book. F. L. M.

tide. But not until 1859 did the Bos-tOll public became sufficiently incensedto order an investigation of the prob-lem, hoping for an immediate solu-tion.

B3y 1901 the legislature was readyto begin to take action. A committee-made a three-year investigation, withthe result that the Charles River Damwas soon begun, and at last com-pleted ill 1909. In order to care f orthe storm drainages that f ormerlyRlowed through brick sewers below thenew basin level, a marginal conduitwas constructed for the entire len-thlof the Boston side of the river, empty-ing finally into the Boston Harbor.

An interesting scientific outcome ofthe construction of this conduit wasbrought to light by Tandy's investiga-'tion. When the brick-work oal theconduit was being done ,water-tighltsteel sheet-piling was driven on either,side of the trench, forming a verysatisfactory cofferdam to exclude fromthe trench all ground water from the,basin nearby. This sheet-piling wasnot removed at the end of the worl,but instead covered over wNitli ear thduring the final fill.

In the period following the open-ing of the new conduit, it has beenfound that, throughout the region justbehind the line of sheet-piling, all,wfooden piling in the foundations ofbuildings hats begun a very noticeable,decay, from the pile caps down part.way into the -round. Tandy proved,that the cofferdam had exclulded a.considerable part of the normal groundwater that formerly flowed in from-the Charles, and that in all the build-ings there had taken place a serious,decay from lack of water that wouldeventually make all such buildings.totally unsafe and unfit for use.

Present Dam Built After FiftyYears ofC Agitation By

Boston Public

So long has the present CharlesRiver Basin been taken as a matterof cour'se by Technology students thatseldom do they realize the fact thatthe river in its pr esent condition ispurely an artificial creation. It hasreally been little more than eighteenyears since the Charles was only anarrow stream, poluted with sewage,and rising and falling with the tidalmovements of the Atlantic Ocean.

Toward the end of last year MilamF. Tandy '28, carried on considerableresearch concerning the history of thebasin, and submitted a resumne of hisstudy as his final report in E33. Machof the material in this story has beentaken from Tandy's report.

Before the last glacial period theCharles was not in its present posi-tion, but flowed instead through BackBay and South Boston, with itsoutlet in the Boston H~arbor. Thlenthrough some one of Nature'smysterious chlanges, its course wasdiverted, and the stream wvasf orced to cut the channel that it nowfollows. As it was a tidal estuaryof the ocean, there wvas a constantchange of surface level, the decideddisadvantages of which are quite ob-'viou~s. At high water it was simplya part of the sea, and at low tide be.came a useless mud flat, from whosesurface rose disagreeable marsh gases.

Sewage was passed into the stream.constantly, as the continual ebb and-flow offered a simple means of dlis--posal, and an extremely- offensive ex-panse was thus created during low.

A little less than a year ago, thecolumns of THE TECH contained aneditorial on the "new" biography, thepurport of which may be summed upin this quotation: "To tear away theshimmering veil of romantib heroworship is a fine gesture in behalf oftruth; but where truth is unnecessaryand even positively undesirable, whyoverdo the matter?"

This criticism was made of severalof the so-called "new" biographies,notably "Helen of Troy," "Galahad"and "Washington." Viewing in thislight the new biography by PhillipsRussell-that of John Paul Jones-wenotice immediately that the evil ofwhich we speak is conspicuous by itsabsence. In "John Paul Jones: Manof Action" we have the highest typeof biographical literature.

The predominant note of this workis sympathy and restraint. It is the'sympathy that arises from under-standing, the sympathy of mind formind, the sympathy which. recognizes

METROPOLITAN

Allniversary Week-the second ofits kind-holds forth at the Metropoli-tan Theatre this week. The big Bos-ton house is celebrating its own birth-day with an elaborate stage show, saidto be the biggest in months, and Rich-ard Dix's new melodrama of the ParEast, "'Shanlghai Bound."t Two pro-ductions grace the stage--jRubinsteinMelodies," with the Grand Orchestra,the Metropolitan corps de ballet, and atableau featuring Marguerite :Rinlgo,operatic soprano, and other artists,visualize the -overture, while a, JackPartington production, featuring, asusual, Gene Rodemich and the stageband, preced-es the picture. "Dixie-lanld" is the title of the revue, and itscast includes Joe Penner, lately thefeature of the Greenwich Village Fol-lies, and many -other "names" of themusical comedy stage.

China, its internal warfare andstrife, gunfire mingling with heart-throbs and sensationalism, forms thelocale of the picture, "ShanghaiBound," declared by the Paramountorganization to be the greatest vehicleever given the hand-some star. To saymerely that China forms a good localefor a story is putt-ing it mildly, for theworld has beei-- a-roused by the havocthat'has been wrought there by bat-tling armies. Every newspaper readeris following the story of China, now inthe making. With that idea in mind,"Shanghai Bound" is a most timelyattraction. Edward S. ("Tex") O'Reil-ly, formner member of the Interna-tional Police Force at Shanghai, andlate drillmaster of the Chinese Im-perial Army, wrote the original story,one based almost entirely on fact. Itwas adapted to the screen by JohnGoodrich and Ray S. Harris.

Dix plays a captain of the YangtseRiver steamer in the picture, and hisefforts to take a cargo of Americanrefugees down the river to Shanghai,and safety, form the skeleton of theplot. Miss Brian is the American girlDix saves. "Shanghai Bound"' is oneof the best pictures which we haveseen in Boston for months. It com-bines the acting of two talented starsin a X eal plot with plenty of action.It is one of the few pictures whichDix has played in a niofe serious roleand he proves himself to be decidedlycapable of it.

An Arthur Martel organ solo, an inkbottle comedy, and "Dixieland," featur-ing the world's pre-eminent saxophon-ist, Rudy Wiedoeft, complete theweek's program.

FENWAY

Manned by officers so cruel that thecrew runs away the first time they getinto port, the Golden Bough, or morecommonly the Blood Ship, is forcedto buy a "Shanghaied" crew to setsail again. Among the crew boughtin San Francisco there is a youngsailor in love with the captain'sdaughter, a preacher. and a hardened,middle-aged, mysterious seaman. Thelatter is a man who has spent 15 yearsin prison for a murder committed bythe captain of the Blood Ship and the.story of his revenge makes an unusu-ally gripping photoplay.

"The Gingham Girl" deterioratesfrom a pro-ram which with its omnis-sion would be excellent.

AlWith considerably more than a hutn-

dred and fifty ment reporting dailyto the boathouse for practice, CoachHaines is looking forward to the llostsuccessful year in the history of thesport at Techlnology. Beside thislarge number of candidates for thevarious crewvs, there are some fiftyor more men who show up onlyspasmodically, and of whom he hopesto interest many sufficiently to -,etthem out regularly for practice. Ex-perienced varsity candidates and thebest of the froshl and Sophomore FieldDay crew candidates have been goingout on the river in the shells in themornings, while in. the afternoons thebeginners are taken out in the bar-le.

Varsity prospects for the conming-season are excellent, with every mem-ber of the past season's varsity b~ackexcept Dolben. Coach Haines has di-vided his veterans and the best ofthe varsity candidates into twvocrews, and will put the outfits againsteach other f or some time, in order toget the best out of each man, regard-less of whether he is a letterman orloot. Time trials will probably dotbe held until next spring.

Field Day crew candidates includethe majority of the men at the boat-house, amiong them being about sixtyfreshmen. The Sophomnores hold thenatural advantage of a year's worktogether, but the excellent materialin the ranks of the frosh promisesplenty of competition for the secondyear men. Final selection of the twocrewts will probably not be made un-til less than a week bef ore the bigrace. In the meantime, many beginl-ners continue to show up every week,and the facilities of the boathouseare taxed nearly to capacity.

,the punting gas-e the Newe Bedford|outfit all advantage.

Playing their first game of the sea-son Saturday afternoon the freshmanfootball team gave a fairly creditableperformance on Sargent Field at NewBedford. in a game with the vocational,school. Althlougll losing, the score of22-0 does not truly show the type ofgamle the froshl put uip.

In the first quarter the New Bed-ford outfit started off with a smash.The initial score of the game camewhen Santos of the "Vokes" brokeout for a touchdown putting the f roshin the hole f or six counts. Thisseemed to open a habit f or the Whlal-ers of making a score each quarter.

Working together a little better illthe second period, the f rosh lineseemed to have their opponents buf-faloed. Some of the pretty playingof the game wuas the way the yearl-ingns squashed end runs. In fact, thesewere made an advantage for the froshby the way Garrett, lef t end, wasthrowin- the runners behind the line.

Cruz, New Bedford's colored star,made the second score of the gametoward the end of the half, and withthe kick raised the tally to thirteen.The substitutes put in by Coach Silvabraced the team to holding the othersthrough the rest of the half and thewhole next quarter. New Bedfordl'sscore in the third was a field goal bySantos.

Making the last period worth wvatch-inlg was the wonderful holding of theyearling line. Throughout the quarterthe exchanging of kicks brought theball to the frosh two-yard line. Hold-ing the rush the frosh took the balland just missed first down. The froshagain held the rush for three downsbut missed on the last. A verticalpass, almost a freak, going straightup and down put the ball over theline to Cruz for New Beedford's finalscore. The game ended with a scoreof 22-0 for the Whalers.

Both the frosh line and the back-field played a fine game f or the prac-tice they have had. Ford, who didthe kicking for the team, and hasbeen getting a thirty-five yard aver-age in practice, seemed off form, forhe could not stand 11p to Santos, anal

'Under perfect weather conditionsthe first handicap track meet was runoff in fine style Saturday with a largenumber competing. J. A. McCarthy,Institute record holder in the javelin,got out a heave of 168 feet, Bernard13rockelman cleared 5 feet 10 inchesin the high jump, and a freshman,Horsie Hardy ran wild and scored infour events for a total of seventeenpoints.

In the freshman 150 yard dash theyearlings looked good especially Or-leman, who won, and Broder, whocame up froml scratch to take thirdplace. However the Sophs showedthat they are to be reckoned with onfeld day by taking four out of thefive places in the Varsity dash. HenryAddison, a second year man brokethe tape in this race.

Fred Ladd, who also placed ill thedash, won the 400 yard run in thevery good time of 47.2 seconds. IrvineRoss '30, won the 45 yard hurdles overHardy and Celette. Howard Barring-ton took the laurels in the 70 yardlow hurdles while Hardy turned thetables on Ross and nosed out the Soph-omore for second place.

Horsie Hardy was the star in thefield events, winning the shot witha heave of 39 feet 4 inches and tak-

IT. O.

At the opening kick Northeasternlgot hold of the ball and worked itdown the field. One of the Cardinaland Gray backs got it away from theNortheastern men and worked it downto the other end of the field. Thishappened several times until one ofthe Engineers kicked the ball behindhis own line. Burton kicked the cornerand Howard neatly bassed it throughSparre's hands for Northleasterll's firstscore.

For a few minutes after this scoreit looked as if Technology wvas goingto take the offensive as they workedthe ball downl the field timle and timeagain. During this period the rightside of the offensive did most of thework and Ventura came within an inchof scoring when he kicked the ballinto the goal tender's hands. Afterthis attempt at scoring, Northeasterngot hold of the ball and worked itdown the, field. The ball changedhands several times until Burton man-aged to sneak a hot one into Sparre'shands. Sparre dropped it and Burtonimmediately kicked- it through thegoal for the second score of the period.

A few minutes later one of the Hus-kles kicked a ball behind their owngoal line and Baroudi kicked a cornerwhich hit one of the goal posts, butas lack would have it would not go in.A short time later Howvard shot an-other one through the Huskies andtha;t- ended the scoring for the period.Throughout most of the period theball was in Technology territory.

Second PeriodHess, a Northeastern man, was hit

in the face early in the second periodand was taken from the game becauseof a cut on his face. Foster was sub-stituted for Hess. During the firstfive minutes of the period the ball keptchanging hands and ran up and downthe field several times. Soon afterthis, Howard scored his third and lastgoal after working the ball down thefield. Immediately after this, Tech-nology should have scored when theyhad a penalty kick. However, Mongkicked it Tight into the goal tender'shands and it was immediately kickedto the middle of the field. About fiveminutes later Sampsonl snapped a shotacross the Technology goal. The ballhit the top of the goal post andbounced ill just out of Capt. Sparre'sreach. That ended the scoring andnothing of importance was done afterthlis, the ball being 'workied up anddown the field several times.

As a whole the Engineers played agood game as they wrere up against agroup of experienced players, but theyput up a good fight. It seemed as ifthey could not take advantage of thebreaks, however, missing two chances,

And-all the way up the coa~st, ice-floes andicebergs were the only companions ofthe interpid crew, while the Bowdoincarrying seven scientists besides Mc-Millan and the motorboat Seeko fol-lowed a hundred miles behind as aprecautionary measure in case the-Radio, grounded or hit any b~ad squalls.Fortunately, the only trouble en-countered was roagh weather and aslight dissatisfaction among the mem-*bers of the crew. A week of lonely-existence on board the vessel putevery one in an irritable mood. Thlisfeeling, though, soon disappeared, butreturned the last two weeks of thetrip homeward.

"We finally dropped anchor at In-dian Harbor, Aillik Bay, and aftersearching for hours among beautiful'evergreen covered islands, we foundHopedale in the early evening of the18th. ~The island was the prettiestpicture of the whole trip, wonderfulwooded islands rising out of narrowtwisting bays. This was the first E3s-kimo settlement we encountered,which was founded and maintained bythe Moravian missions. They all cameout to meet us in their motor boats(there are no longer kyaks in the Lab-rador) and we were surprised thatmost of them could speak English.

FRESH-MENDIPA-MISMABLE SPIRIT

Firs-t Year Men Scarce in Tug.of-War Practice Sesions

-More Expected Todays

Where, oh -where, are the, 'Tug ofWar Candidates. The last practiceyielded only a mere half-dozen Sopho.mores with a lone member of the fresh.mall class. This is indeed a miser-able showing and perhaps the smallestturnout in years. During the earlypart of the week there was over ascore of Sophomores applying theirweight to the rope with three or f ourfrosh eager to grasp the essentialsof the hemp pulling sport. Trueenough, the teams did not get organ-ized until last Friday but: instead ofthe progressive turnout as was anti-cipated during the week, there hasbeen a diminution of aspirants espe.cially from the freshman class.

Carl J. Bernhardt '28, SulpervisinlgManager of Tug of War has madeevery eff ort to stimulate interest illthe sport especially among the fresh-men. At this time last year, theteams wvere in the pink of conditionand the unusual feature about lastyear's frosh team was the splendid

.manner in which they reported. WhenField Day came around, there was

,almost two. full teams to pick from.,This is perhaps the main reason why,the Class of No. '30 won last year's

l pull. By the looks of things it seems,as if the Sophs will walk away with3two easy points on Feld Day unlessthe first year menl come to their sensesand stage a big turnout this after-

Inoon in back of the. track house.t There is still time lef t in which toI-develop a firstt class freshmen team,3-and every freshman not out for any1Iother Field Day sport should reportthis afternoon to Manager Bernhardt

in back of the track house ready topractice.
