Department of AeronauticsPresents First Of Lectures

Planes Carrying 100 PersonsComing In Near Future

Predicts Speaker

Million-pound, thousand-passengerairplanes will not be the next stepin aviation development, according toIgror Sikorsky, noted aircraft de-signer, at a meeting yesterday in

room 3-440. In the next five years, hesaid, commercial aircraft will increasegreatly in size and comfort and yetlittle faster than at present.

In the near future, Mr. Sikorskypredicts that planes weighing from50 to 100 tons will be built, capableof carrying more than 100 passen-gers. "Several factors," he declared,''point to much bigger aircraft." Mostimportant, he stated, is that the largeairplane can be operated much moreeffiiciently and economically than therelatively small planes of today.

Speed is a factor which Mr. Sikor-sky believes to have reached a pointin modern design, beyond which fur-ther increase should be subordinate toother factors. In the next five yearshe expects only 40 to 50 miles anhour will be added to top speeds of

"High Type"

Rear Admiral Reuben Edwin Bak-enhus, '96, on a visit to the InstituteWednesday, expressed his admirationfor Technology and its students, term-ing the school "magnificent" and thescholars "a fery high type". Ad-miral Bakenhus is a member of theCorps of Civil Engineers. UnitedStates Navy-, and is a member of theInstitute's Visiting Committee onMathematics.

Keenly interested in fencing, whichlie first took up while at Technology,Admiral Bakenhus made a visit withthe fencing team one of the highpoints of his stat here. A trim, white-mustached man of medium- height, hisbearing suggests that of an Annap-olis graduate, although he never at-tended the Naval Academy.

There are thirty six members ofthe freshman Cabinet this year. Jo-siah S. Heal, '37, vice president ofthe T. C. A. conducted the meeting.

Morse, Howe, Bell, Mvlergenthaler,Hail and Wright. Oddly enough,though, the representatives of the artsare even more numerous, having aByron, Carlisle, Hawthorne, Lamb,Wells, Conrad, Thomas, Bach, Wag-ner. Schubert, Strauss and Sargent.

As wide-spread as the native landsof some of the students are, theirsurnames bring to mind places thatare nearly as far in the Lynn, Wake-field, Paris and Holland. The bud-ding anatomists have a Hand, Foote,and Bone to Heal. Nature lovershave a Hill, Meadow, Forest, Woods,Mlarsh, Bush, Lane and Downs. Anlamong the workers there are a Far-rner, Cook, Fisher, Weaver and Hun-ter. Astronomers will be interestedby the Moon and Start.

For its Rose, Technology has aThorn. Steele has its Rust, and theBest has its Wirtz. The Parker hashis Copp, and the Coffin has its Stiff.

Odld names include a Sap, Darling,Guy, Rumble, Thrift, Bunke, Crum,Huuni, Toy. Pancake and Hechenbleik-ner.

Diverse ale the reasons that bring

ieni to Technology, and diverse are

the names they bring with them.

There are eighteen of the omni-

p~esent Smiths, closely followed byfifteen Johlnsons. The Cohens and

the Joneses are tied for a poor third

with but five of their names apieceon the roster.

SAc least half of the school colors

is found in the Grays, although thereare no Reds for the other half. Other"colors" in the directory are Black,

Brown, Blue, Green and White.The church and the state are both

well represented. Religion has a

Pope, Cantor, Sexton and Bishop.

State political affairs are well at-tended to by a Curley, Hurley and

Greenwood, while there is a whole

presidential group in Roosevelt, Hoo-

McKinley. For international politics

there are Blum, Chamberlain, Church-hill and MacDonald.

As might be expected at a scentific

Professor Lawrence said that hewanted to clear up at this meetingany 'misinformation' that may be cir-culating around. He said that he wasagreeably surprised at the enthusi-asm shown by the student spectatorsand ventured the opinion that if thatinterest would keep up, varsity base-ball would be recognized this year.

PROPER ADMINISTRATIONFRESHMAN RULES

ECISION of the Freshman Council tostrive for the co-operation of all the

freshman class in wearing the freshman tieis decidedly encouraging. It is a step towardthe administration of freshman rules by agroup interested in their value to the fresh-man, and an improvement over enforcementby groups moved rivalry.

Wearing of the freshman tie is at once amzark of distinction, and a practical meansof helping the freshman class to orient itselfin the Institute. It stands for the pride nat-ural in a man admitted to an institute su-preme in the instruction of his chosen field,and it also stands for the new associationshe makes in identifying himself with his class.

Creation of this bond among the membersof the freshman class is perhaps the moreimportant function of the freshman tie, and itis the function productive of the more dem-onstrable results. Through its display, ev'er~yfreshman comes to recognize his classmnates,and to experience a spirit of kinship towardthem.

The Class of 1940 will-in the space ofe lessthan three years-be the leading influence di-recting all ofe Technology's undergraduate af-fairs, and the freshman tie now is doing itspart in assuring that these men will becomewvell enough acquainted with the Institute,and among themselves, to carry this respon-sibility creditably.

Recognition by the entire class of this truesignificance of the freshman tie should be alltheat is needed to insure that they will co-operalte unanimously.

OVERCONFIDENCETIME TO DEMrE NOW

\7ITH the Americas acclaiming Roose-VV velt's peace'message, and editors andcommentators praising-our success in avoid-ing European entanglements, the people ofour country must guard against overconfi-dence, against a feeling ofe contemptuous pityfor the poor deluded radicals so rapidly ap-proaching war. W'hen we begin to think sec-retly that Europe is made up of poor deludedradicals; when we view the Atlantic withcomplacence, and note with satisfaction thatthe fi-ght seems to be passing us by, we musthave regard for the insidious ways in whichour passions and sympathies can take advan-tag-e of overconfidence.

It was not until our mental barriers to warhlad been beaten down by three years of alliedpropaganda that we abandoned our neutralityand entered the World War. Since that time,many mell, including priests, who advised pat-riotismn and who thought the lives of theAmericans whlo died well sacrificed, have sinceadmitted that sympathies and passions,

The Editorial "Our Orphan Sport" in the Tuesday,3e December 8th, issue of the "Tech" did not present37 the true facts concerning the actions of the group

attempting to have Baseball re-recognized by theM. I T. A. A. The present fight for re-recognitionwas started three years ago and has not been stoppedsince. The requirement of the M. I. T. A. A. thatevery sport must function for two years independentlyin intercollegiate competition'before being grantedformal recognition has been fulfilled. In the lastthree years the independent team has scheduled seven-teen games; sixteen of which have been played. Theseventeenth, a game with the Junior Varsity teamof Boston University in 1935, was called off becauseof rain and could not be re-scheduled as it was latein the season.

The spirit of the entire squad for the three yearshas been excellent. Had it not been, the team wouldnot have lasted so long and the present group wouldnot be demanding recognition again this year. Everyobstacle has been placed in the way of the team: TheM. I. T. A. A. has tried hard to discourage the move-ment, the team was compelled to pay its own ex-penses. And yet the group continues to work. Canthis team be accused of lacking the spirit that makesa Tech Team ?

It is true that no large percentage of the gameshave been won, but Tech Teams usually get theirname for sportsmanship and spirit rather than vic-tories.

Yours truly,GILBERT W. WINSLOW, '37, Manager

'36 Independent Team.

Editors' Note: We would be led to believeby the above letter that all is well in respectto the past, present, and future of baseballat the Institute, at least as far as the partici-pants are concerned. We would be given tounderstand that there is no lack of spirit andsupport necessary to put over baseball as amajor sport in the near future. However,they do not let on that the person who wascoachino, the "Independent" team last year,

IRave up the job in the middle of the seasonbecause there was such lack of spirit that thesquad could not possibly function as a unit.Being late and absent to practice was a com-mon occurrence. This is exactly what wasmeant in our last editorial when we saidthat if baseball is to take hold at Technology,there mnust be, an awakening of interest, es-pecially among those who are to participate.If it is to be a matter of coming to practicewhen and if each individual has nothing moreinteresting to attend to, and if a game sched-ule is to mean little more than so many tripsout of town for the enjoyment of the squad,the M. I. T. A. A. is not to be blamed for re-serving recognition and for discouraging therevival of a sport which was once believed outof place here. It must be realized that base-ball is of nature a highly organized sport andunless it is well organized and widely sup-ported it cannot be promoted successfullyhere. The question before us is whether ornot men at the Institute have the time andinterest to conduct this necessary organiza-tion.

dn't have to sell baseball to you. "We'ave to sell it to the authorities incharge."

In an effort to clear up the rumorsthat have been going around the In-titute, Professor Lawrence outlined

the history of the sport. He saidthat the last varsity baseball team.d~isbanded in 1887 and that after that, 'l]ass baseball took its place. In 1921,,he said, there was an authorizedfreshman team which succeeded inbuilding up interest and reviving thegme until in 1925 an independent

emwas formed. This independent Cenhe went on to say, was possibly t,

he most successful team that has vIver come out of Technology. It wonight games and only lost two. t(

To Interviewv Jope tHlowever," he remarked, "most of s;ze interest comes from the dormi- tories and the commuters." tIn response to a query, Heacock t]id that a committee would inter-devv Ralph T. Jope, secretary of the a,

dvsory Council as soon as possible s 1order to get a definite idea ofwhere qthystand. He also said that the lter might possibly be brought up TrXastudent referendum._

John L. SummersCoach of Squash and Tennis

Popular with students and faculty alike, and still in excellent conditionafter twenty-five years of strenuous squash playing, John L. Summers,

coach of squash and tennis, stands as an example of whata good coach should be like.

Jack enjoys the distinction of being the first coach ofsquash at the Institute. When the game was endorsedin 1926 and courts had been built, the students had to takepart in the game without the benefit of a coach. Withinthree years the authorities in charge realized their'mis-take and set about finding a suitable mentor.

After much investigation, Summers bon the post.When he came to the Institute the interest in squash was

decidedly low. During his short career here he has built up the courtgame until now it is hard to find an empty court at any time.

Jack attributes his rise to the heights in the national squash ranks, tothe practice that he put into the game when he first began. He tells

the Story of how, in order to perfect his ganme, he bet the professionalsat the 'Union Boat Club one dollar on every game.

It seems the pros would give him a fourteen point lead and then whittleit down, to win and take his dollar. "It did me good," said Summers,"I learned a lot from those fellows. But when I finally was able to playthem without a handicap they wouldn't play."

Jack turned professional in 1919 and was an assistant coach at theHarvard Boat club for a year. He went to the Union Boat club wherehe stayed eleven years as coach of squash. During this time he wonthe New England championship five times in -succession.

Coach Summers said that professional squash is 'a matter of hardwork.' But hard work or not the fact remains that Summers won hisfirst national championship in 1930, the year he came to the Institute.He repeated in 1931 and 1932. In 1933 an elbows injury hampered hischances in defending the crown but he came back in 1934 to annex it oncemore. Last year and the year before injuries kept him from recapturingthe title. Last year lie reached the quarter-finals but his shoulder both-ered him and he had to default.

Jack says that his present plans include an invasion of the nationalmatches in Pittsburgh this January. Commenting on the interest insquash in and around Boston, Jack brought out the fact that Bostonis probably the most rabid squash city in the country fith possibly NewYork as an exception.

"Squash rackets is a faster game than hockey," he said, "and theonly reason it doesn't gain such prominence is because there is onlylimited space for spectators. Along that vein, Jack mentioned the factthat he thought that squash might be popularized by making the wallsof the court out of glass so that more fans could see the action on thefloor.

Summers attributes the popularity of the game at Technology to thefact that the equipment is inexpensive and that ii could be played atalmost any convenient time. Jack spends his spare time, if and whenthere is spare time, in the squash office restringing rackets.

.n addition to being squash coach, Jack coaches the tennis team in thespring. His position as squash and tennis coach gives him an all yearjob at the Institute. In addition to the students he coaches the facultysquash team which is entered in the class C division of the Massachusetts

Injuries To Three ImportantMen Reduces Chances Of

Institute Team

Seriously crippled by injuries, theInstitute wrestling team faces Har-vard tomorrow night at Harvard ina match, that opens the season forboth teams.

Coach Ricks would not volunteer adefinite statement on the prospects,contenting himself with the com-ment, that he had a 'better team than-usual.' He said that the fact thatthere were more men out this yearhad made it a better rounded team,with some of the weights having noone outstanding man. He would saynothing about the freshman team.

The line-up, as decided by a seriesot matches held Wednesday andThursday night:

W. W. 'Bonebreaker' Bender, EdBrittenham and Von Sestoni, threeof the teams mainstays are out withinjuries. Bender was injured in theAll-Tech wrestling tournament lastweek, Brittenham has an infectedfoot, and Sestoni has a bone bruise.These injuries will seriously crimpthe teams chance to beat Harvard.

Varsity-Noodleman, I. Watso, Ba-ral, Tholemman, Cittoli, Powers,7 eitlin, Lucas, and Burditt.

Freshmen-Lukes, Wang, Carnrick,ICohen, McCuen, Vanderpool, and Gu-nell.

Panhandler: "Say, buddy, could youspare a buck for a cup of coffee ?"

Collegian: "A dollar for coffee! Pre-posterous! "

Panhandler: "Just say yes or no-but don't try to tell me how to run mybusiness."

That the freshman tie was a markof distinction and served to readilyidentify other members of the classwas the chief reason that the coun-cil gave for its decision. The tiethey concluded, also serves to weldthe freshman into a more unifiedclass.

To fulfill one of the purposes of thecouncil-that of interesting freshmenin activities ' a committee was se-lected composed of Marshall A.Wight, Joseph F. Owens, Jr., ArthurP. McCabe, and Robert S. Clements.

Stratosphere flying is another phase, of development Mr. Sikorsky viewediwith caution. Flying at altitudes ofi about 50,000 feet, he pointed out, calls

for difficult combinations of climb and, speed as well as vital but complicated

lair-renewing apparatus. In the placeof this he offered sub-stratosphere fly-ing, at altitudes of about 25,000 feet,in regions which are above storm ar-eas. "I believe that the sub-stratos-

, phere will be investigated within theInext five years," he said.

Present-day engineering knowledgeis not delaying the giant plane, Sik-orsky declared. With the presentknowledge of aeronautics, he said, "amillion-pound plane carrying a thou-sand passengers can now be built."However, there is no use to which

I such a plane could be put at present.However, there are now ready forproduction, he said, planes of 100,000to 200,000 pounds weight, which will"form the backbone of commercialservice for many years."

8000 mile rangeCruising range of the planes to be

developed was another factor uponwhich Sikorsky had definite views."A plane can now be produced witha flying range of eight thousand to inine thousand miles," he stated, andwent on to say that any greater ,ranges would be useless for flying on ;earth. c

The greatest development of thelarger planes, Mr. Sikorsky stated,will be in seaplanes. The large fly- ling-boat he claimed to be more adap- ltible to present conditions by reasonof the much larger landing areasavailable. In the near vicinity ofthe Boston airport, he pointed out, s

there are about 10 square miles ofground suitable for landing large air-craft, while there are 500 squaremiles of water.

At the end of his talk, Mr. Sikorskyshowed a series of pictures takenwhile flying from South America inone of his Clipper ships.
