ALUMNI TO SPEAKAt Farrand Dinner

Representative Cornellians in variedwalks of life and from many places willspeak briefly at the farewell dinner toPresident Farrand at the Waldorf-Astoriain New York City December 3. WallaceB. Quail '19, chairman of the New YorkCornell Club's committee for the affair,has announced that Judge Frank H. His-cock 75, chairman of the UniversityBoard of Trustees, will preside as toast-master. Besides selections by the GleeClub, music by a popular New Yorkorchestra, and other entertainment to beannounced later, there will be specialfeatures engineered by William H. ForbesΌ6, of Cleveland, Ohio, whose super-vision of entertainment at the dinner toJames Lynah '05 last January was widelycommended.

Climax of the evening, of course, willbe an address by President Farrand. Ofhis administration of the University,from which he retires next June 30,Frank E. Gannett '98, University Trus-tee, said recently:

"Dr. Farrand's work has been emi-nently successful and satisfactory notonly to the Board but to the alumni andstudents. I might add that Cornell'saffairs are in better condition today thanever before. There will be universal regretwhen his services terminate.. . . Membersof the Board several months ago triedto persuade Dr. Farrand to continue inthe position another year, but he stead-fastly refused to do so, saying that hethought it was for the best interests ofthe University that it should immediatelyget his successor in office; and, second,that he thought for his own health andhappiness, it would be better for him toretire."

The committee looks for alumni at-tendance at this tribute to the Presidentto exceed previous records for reunionaffairs. Cornell men planning to attendthe dinner, both individually and asmembers of Class, College, or fraternitygroups, are asked to communicate withthe Cornell Club of New York to assureseating accommodations.

AboutATHLETICS

CORNELL 6, DARTMOUTH 20For the greater part of Saturday after-

noon Cornell appeared the not-improb-able winner of the football game withDartmouth. Taking command with theopening kick-off which Baker, on aformation play long practiced, ran back60 yards and deep into enemy territory,Cornell dominated the play for thegreater part of the game; scored first,staved off the superior running attackof Dartmouth, and repeatedly avoidedvictory only by a handsbreadth. In theend however, but not until the finalperiod, overwhelming speed and poweron the Dartmouth side demanded itsown—and got it.

An expert passing attack, an alertkicking game, and a dogged defense onthe part of Cornell kept the game hang-ing in the balance well into the finalperiod, until the original Cornell elevencould no longer carry the load. Thenthe necessity of substitutions clearlydemonstrated the essentiality of reservestrength in modern football and Cornell'sfatal lack in this respect. As Baker,Sheffer, Hooper, and the rest were ledstaggering from the field, out to the lastounce, the Dartmouth running attackfor the first time developed the ability

to gain consecutively. The last few min-utes saw two Green touchdowns scoredswiftly against the Cornell reserves anda near rout checked only by the finalwhistle.

With Baker's opening run of 60 yardsto the Dartmouth Z5~yard line, and fromthe aggressive, rapid attack which fol-lowed, the 15,000 spectators in the Cres-cent and a surprised Dartmouth teamknew there was to be a ball game.Shortly after, Holland leaped to catch aquick fourth-down pass from Baker toadvance the ball to the 6-yard line, andBaker and Sheffer plunged through tothe four. Two incompleted passes intothe end zone gave Dartmouth the ballon their own twenty. A moment laterPeck recovered a Dartmouth fumble onthe Dartmouth 42., skirted left end foran 8-yard gain, and on the next play wasin the clear near the goal line to receivea pass, but dropped it, forcing a kick,which was quickly returned by Dart-mouth. The play was quickly driven backto Dartmouth's north side of the field,to return to the Cornell side of the 50-yard stripe only once more in the quarter,when McLeod nearly got away alongthe east side but was stopped on theCornell zz. Then a fumble gave the ballto Cornell and it was kicked out ofdanger.

The last play of the quarter, a pass,was intercepted by Sheffer on the Dart-mouth 45, and Baker's passes to Peckand Spang took the ball to Dartmouth's

BAKER TAKES THE BALL AROUND LEFT E N D IN THE DARTMOUTH GAME P h o t o h y F e n n e r

Ahead of the runner and still on their feet are Moulton (64) and Sheffer (fi£) from the backfield, with Hemingway (84),Hughes (89), and Spang (55) coming in, and Holland (86), the giant Negro end, still further ahead to prevent future trouble.

18 and paved the way for a beautifullyexecuted double lateral, Sheffer to Mc-Keever to Holland, which put the bigNegro end behind the goal line standingup, to score. Rose's kick, with Bakerholding, was blocked. Then for most ofthe game after Dartmouth's first touch-down, made following a brilliant passingattack with five minutes of the half togo, it appeared that that one missedpoint might be the margin of Dart-mouth's victory. The Dartmouth kickfor the conversion hit the left goal postand bounced inside.

Again on the kickoff Baker appearedto be away for a touchdown run, butslipped (it then raining) on his own 45,and on the next play but one Holling-worth intercepted Baker's pass to endthat threat. After Dartmouth's quickkick the Cornellians fought doggedlyinside their own 30-yard line, but soongot going again with a series of passesthat worked, and took the ball to Dart-mouth's 2.5-yard line as the half endedand the cold rain settled in, to soak field,ball, and stands.

Throughout the third period Dart-mouth seemed satisfied with kicking thewet ball to protect its one-point lead, asCornell kept grimly boring in with re-reverse plays, runs, and then a well-executed fifteen-yard pass which Peckcaught on Dartmouth's 30 and ran tothe 12.. After the next attempted passfailed, Rose came in to try for a fieldgoal on the fourth down, but it wentlow. Undaunted, however, the Varsityquickly brought the ball back fromDartmouth's short kick to their 40, apass to Holland after Sheffer had madea first down taking it again inside theenemy's 15. Baker advanced it to the 9,and of two attempted passes the secondwas juggled by Holland but droppedbehind the goal line. This was on thirddown, and Rose had already taken offhis headgear to attempt another fieldgoal from the 10 when the officials calledthe ball back to the xo and gave it toDartmouth for two incompleted passesinto the end zone.

An exchange of punts to open thefourth period put the ball in play on theDartmouth 2.6, and a penalty for clippinggave it to Cornell on the 34, but a 15-yard penalty for holding against Cornelltook it back to the 43 and after a passattempt Baker kicked to the 12.. Herebegan the rout of a tired Cornell team,as the Green marched through six succes-sive first downs to a touchdown, madewithin three minutes of the end. Baker,exhausted, came out five minutes fromthe end, Sheffer suffered injury to hishand, and the Red line was ripped tobits, with Snavely forced to throw in tenreserves in that last few moments. Dart-mouth failed to convert, however.

Following the kickoff a fumble byMoulton at midfield gave Dartmouth itssecond start, which they quickly carried

through to the second touchdown of thisfateful quarter, this time converted.Intercepting Gildersleeve's pass nearmidfield in the last minute of play, Dart-mouth started for the Cornell goal athird time, but a fumble fifteen yardsout and the referee's whistle ended thefray. The lineups and summary:

FRESHMAN FOOTBALLA Freshman football season unblessed

with victory, marred by an unusual num-ber of injuries, and punctuated by pre-vious defeats at the hands of Colgate,Syracuse, and Wyoming Seminary cameto its conclusion Saturday morning whenan undefeated team of Pennsylvaniafreshmen won on Schoellkopf Field,54-0. Though the season is now officiallyended, the more promising Freshmenwhose studies are in good shape will prac-tice with the Varsity for another week.

The coaches are not unduly cast downby the Freshman game record, and it isbelieved that some excellent material hasbeen discovered and developed for subse-quent inclusion in Varsity ranks. Someforty men can be handed on to CoachSnavely for further development in springpractice.

On the basis of observations throughthe fall, the following appear to giveparticular promise for the future, alwaysadmitting that first-year appraisals are

dangerous in view of the astonishingphysical and mental changes that cantake place in a boy between his Freshmanand Sophomore years: Backs, Farrell,185 pounds, Baker 185, Munley 178,Bialek 183, Brown 175, Moransky 174,Sleeth 175, and Hooker 170; Ends,Burke 186, Barr 190, Mogk 188, andWalker 170; Tackles, Lafey 140, Eichler^OI, Schultz xio, and Worcester 190.guards, Obler 188, Beemer 180, Mc-Cutcheon xoo, and Spaulding 195;Centers, Phillips 100 and Taylor 170.

Of the above, Mogk and Moranskyhold regional alumni scholarships fromthe Cornell Club of New York; Farrellfrom Philadelphia, Eichler from Utiςa,Baker from Harrisburg, Burke and Bialekfrom Wilkes-Barre, Beemer and Munleyfrom Scranton. Two other regionalscholars in the Freshman Class are Jaicks,an end, from Chicago, and Guilfoyle, aguard, from New York.

LIGHTWEIGHTS BEATENThe first season of lightweight football

at the University ended Saturday justbefore the Varsity game, with the firstdefeat, by Hornell High School, 6-7, onlower Alumni Field. Coached by Na-thaniel E. Kossack '34, Robert S. Grant'34, Carl W. Willsey '34, William H.Borger '36, and Gordon F. Stofer '36,the team had previously defeated highschool teams from Geneva, Cortland,and Watkins. More than a hundred menhave been out for practice regularly, andmost of them have played in most games.Next year, it is hoped, Cornell may be-come a member of the Eastern Inter-collegiate Lightweight Football League,now composed of Rutgers, Yale, Lafay-ette, Princeton, Pennsylvania, and Villa-nova. Yale is champion this year.

SOCCER TEAM LOSESScheduled unexpectedly to keep in trim

for the Thanksgiving Day game withHaverford, the soccer team met Colgateat Hamilton Friday afternoon and sufferedits fifth defeat, 3-1, in seven gamesplayed. Injuries have taken their tollthis season, Dugan and Karl Hemmerichboth playing Friday with slight handi-caps.

Colgate scored early and maintainedits drive through the first half, but inthe second the Varsity tightened up,although able to make but one goal, byDugan on a corner kick from Darling.

NOW THAT the carnage is over and thedead counted, Mrs. Louis C. Boochever,wife of the University Director of PublicInformation, appears to have been theonly Democrat elected this year to publicoffice in Tompkins County. Mrs. Boo-chever was nominated by the Democratsand duly elected as a member of theIthaca Board of Education. She wasvastly assisted by the fact that theRepublicans also endorsed her.

ON THE CAMPUS AND DOWN THE HILLBOTH VARSITY and Freshman ROTCbands took the field at Saturday's foot-ball game, and put on a noteworthy per-formance in music, marching, and spell-ing. Dartmouth didn't bring a band.We don't take a band to Hanover, either.It's too far, too difficult, and too expen-sive. Between the halves the combinedCornell bands spelled HELLO INDIANS.They spelled it correctly, too. Then theyworked out a complicated figure whereinthe red-coated Varsity band became abow and shot a red arrow composed ofwood-winds and drums into the blue-clad Freshman band who were massed asa target in the semblance of a capital D.

NOBODY is quite sure who thinks upthings for the band to spell at footballgames. There are two distinct schoolson the subject. Some say Captain GeorgeM. Williamson, Jr., the Army officer incharge of the band, does it, and that hegets the words to be spelled out of booksupplied by the War Department. Theother theory—the majority opinion, per-haps—is that Mrs. George Coleman,wife of the band's musical director,works out the formations with pins on aboard.

THERE WERE lots of dances around theHill over the weekend. And from theSun: "Will person who took silk operahat by mistake at fraternity dance Fridaynight call Mrs. Williamson (4413)."That goes for old grads, too. But if youtook the hat home it will be all right ifyou just mail it to Mrs. Williamson.Perhaps it would be just as well if youdidn't call her up.

THREE FRATERNITIES celebrated an-niversaries over the weekend. Psi Upsilonhad about sixty alumni back to com-memorate the sixtieth anniversary of thefounding of the chapter; Delta Phi enter-tained approximately forty on almost thedate of their housewarming party inLlenroc, the former home of Ezra Cor-nell, twenty-five years ago; and aboutan equal number, including eleven of theeighteen founders of the parent society,Caduceus, gathered at the Alpha GammaRho house for a twenty-fifth birthdaydinner.

THOMAS J. FARRELL, outstandingfootball back (crippled since the Colgategame), was last week elected Freshmanmember of the Student Council. Farrellwas the only one of the nineteen candi-dates for the position who neither at-tended nor made a speech at the under-graduate political rally reported lastweek. Walter H. Foertsch of Rochester,last year's Freshman stroke, and AustinH. Kiplinger of Washington, D. C ,dynamic Class leader and Campus re-porter of the Ithaca Journal, were the

OUTSTANDING FEATURE of lastweek's underclass elections was thesmallness of the number who took thetrouble to vote at all. Only 300 Freshmanturned out (less than x^ percent of theClass) and the Sophomore vote was 514,a distinct minority expression.

ARMISTICE DAY got not the slightestrecognition on the JCampus. Downtowna whistle blew on South Hill and thensilence fell on the whole community astraffic halted in the streets and a uni-formed bugler blew "Taps" from thesteps of the High School. But on theCampus all went merrily, to the sloganof "business as usual." There was nopause at any time! On the following daythe Sun called attention to the omis-sion, but they hadn't thought about itbeforehand. In the eleven o'clock lectureon American History one student whis-pered to another, "How much of a wardo you have to have before Cornell findsout about i t?"

CORINTHIAN YACHT CLUB crews de-feated two from Dartmouth, xij-ic^, infour dinghy races sailed on Cayuga LakeSunday afternoon between snow squalls.Commodore Richard H. Bertram '37 andIrwin W. Tyson '38 were the Cornellskippers.

AT A RECENT LUNCHEON the Ad-vertising Club of Ithaca discussed " t h estudent influence on local advertising."They decided it was good. The member-ship agreed that "quality goods havebeen emphasized as a result of Universitybusiness."

THE CORNELL Student Lecture Bureauhas been organized under the sponsorshipof CURW (Barnes Hall). Any time youneed a student speaker, that's the placeto go. On Armistice Day they sentspeakers to the Kings Ferry High Schoolto discuss "Religion and Peace," andthe next day another group went to theWhitney Point C.C.C. Camp to talkabout "Science."

COURT AND CONSTITUTIONThe Supreme Court and the Constitu-

tion. By Professor Robert E. Cushman,Government. Washington, D. C. PublicAffairs Committee. 1936. 48 pages. io£.

Is the Constitution adequate for today?Has the Supreme Court rightly inter-preted it? Should we change the Consti-tution or limit the Supreme Court?

Discussing these questions, ProfessorCushman says: "The basic nature of ourconstitutional system has not changedsince 1789. But the nation which itgoverns has vastly changed." Exploringthe decisions of the Supreme Court onthe constitutionality of the New Deal,he finds that " I n every case the Courthad to read concrete meaning into wordsso vague and general as to be in them-selves virtually without meaning, andwith no guide but its own past decisionsand present 'hunches/ " And concludingthat "our present difficulties are duepartly to an over-zealous extension ofjudicial power and partly to the failureof the 18th century constitution to meetadequately the demands of the 2.0thcentury," the author proposes that weattempt to solve both problems byclarifying Constitutional amendments.

CORPORATION LAWCorporations. By Professor Robert S.

Stevens, Law. St. Paul, Minn. West Pub-lishing Company. 1936. xvi+946 pages. $5.

It has been said that legal fictions"are scaffolding; useful, almost neces-sary, in construction, but after thebuilding is erected, serving only toobscure i t . " The author points to theorthodox definition of a corporation asan artificial personality in support of thischaracterization, and says the demolitionof such "scaffolding," which tends toobscure the reality of the individuals whohave incorporated, is the basic solutionof all corporate problems.

In scholarly yet concise style, Profes-sor Stevens presents an exposition andcritical analysis of the modern law ofcorporations. He defines legal person-ality as ' ' the embodiment of rights andobligations with which the law endowsindividuals," and posits the followingrealistic approach: '"Corporate person-ality' may be regarded as a type of duallegal personality. As such, it serves toseparate the rights ^and obligations con-nected with one's individual and personalaffairs, from his collective rights and ob-ligations as a member of an incorporatedgroup. Under this reasoning, a corpora-tion need not be looked upon as a singleperson, artificial and non-physical, but

may, with more reality, be regarded asthe group of associates who, by incorpo-rating, have acquired their corporatepersonalities."

The topics selected for treatment, withdue regard to the present importance ofeach, are corporate personality; in-corporated and unincorporated com-panies; purpose and effect of distinctionbetween the corporate and individuallegal personalities of shareholders; forma-tion of corporations; effect of irregularincorporation; promoters; corporate au-thority; ultra vires; torts and crimes;subscriptions; shares and other securi-ties; dividends; right of inspection andpre-emptive right; voting; transfer; di-rectors and officers; shareholders' ac-tions; shareholders' liability—paymentfor shares; rights and remedies of credi-tors and reorganization; dissolution ofcorporations; and foreign corporations.

Within the last seven years, severalstates, from California to Pennsylvania,have carefully revised their corporationstatutes in accordance with modernprinciples, establishing " a n enlightenedbalance between freedom and control ofcorporate management." Because thetext includes citations to the more im-portant sections of these revised acts,and because it contains liberal referencesto additional case material and legalperiodical literature, it should prove in-valuable both to practicing lawyers andto students.

ConcerningTHE FACULTY

ESTIMATING that between 60 and 80percent of all persons have ear troublescaused by mechanical noise, Professor R.Foster Kennedy, Clinical Neurology,of the Medical College in New York, toldthe Academy of Medicine October 2.1that noise is one of the major enemies ofmodern existence. He urged that in-dustrial noise, as much a hazard infactories as toxid liquids, fumes, dust andgases, be eliminated or controlled. Point-ing to the effect of noises on human con-duct, he said: "Psychologically, theycause loss of temper and play a part inquarrels. In attempts to overcome theeffects of noise, great strain is put on thenervous system, leading to neurasthenicand psychasthenic states. Long before theemotions are disturbed, certain changestake place, such as heightened pulserate, increased blood pressure, and someirregularities in heart rhythm."

Thanksgiving Day

Going to the Penn game means,

in too many Cornell cases, going

without Thanksgiving dinner.

But in a town like Philadelphia,

celebrated for its cookery since

shad first spawned in the Dela-

ware, there is every reason for

dedicating the day both to sport

and to good living.

It is possible to lunch and dine

delightfully in Philadelphia—and

without missing a moment of the

game—if one but takes a little

forethought in the matter.

At all the places around the

edges of this page Cornellians

will see that you are served in the

best Philadelphia tradition.—R.B.

WelcomeFellow - CornelliansWHEN in Philadelphia forthe game plan to stop at ahotel that is run by and forCornellians.
