St. .Tosepli’a holds a wide edge in the series which began in 1923. For

‘ seven straight years they swept the Dragons before them, piling up a. to­tal of 57 points against 9 for Drexel. But all the while Captain Walter Halas was building uj) an offense liased on his version of the Kockne system, and in 1030 the Dragons crashed to their first victory 18-C and repeated their success the next year ■with a 21-0 score.

I t is interesting to note that the Crimson and Grey did not lose one game of this series while they were coached by Heine .Miller, the former

Lnieri'^an. After an absence "years, Miller has resumed

Large Group Attends Drexel Freshman Camp

Medford Lake Site Again Chosen As

Scene for Week-end Outing; Camp

Sponsored by Y. M. C. A.

A largo number of the entering men students became accpiainted with Drexel p(?rsonalities when they a t ­tended the orientation camp near Medford Lakes, the week-end of Sep­tember 22. As was the case last year. Camp Ockanickon was the site oi: the annual pre-registration get-together In all, 105 freshmen enjoyed the out ing.

The purpose of the camp is to create good fellowship in the freshman class, and to orientate the new extra-curricu lar activities at Drexel. Diexel Y.C. A. sponsors the annual affair, and cach year a large number of lower classmen and fiiculty members accoin pany the new men and try to giv thorn an insight into life at Drexel.

The party, which assembled in front of the Institute, was transported to the Jersey camping ground by three buses, 'ihiey reached their destina­tion late I'riday afternoon. The group was honored in the evening by the presence of Cameron Beck, supervisor of personnel in the New \ ork Stock Exchange. *Mr. Beck spoke on the necessity of honesty, courage, integ rity, and fellowshij) in the life men in this generation.

Following this, a meeting was held in the dining hall where SValt Burk, head checr-leader, instructed the group in cheers and songs. bhor talks followed by Dr. Stratton and student leaders. Dr. Stratton in his talk explained what the title “Dean of Men” means.

Saturday morning the freshmen met in the bowl and listened to short talks bv Professors Lange, McDonald Welsh, and Galphin. In the after noon a general athletic meet was held

The Varsity Club, composed of Drex- el’s letterinen, has made elaborate plans for its annual Kick-Off Dance, to be held Saturday night, October 5, in the Great Court from eight o’clock to twelve.

Markie Moyer and his Parodians will provide the musil for the opening dance of this season. The orchestra, which is well known in collegiate cir­cles, has won favor at such schools as Pitt, Gettysburg, Carnegie Tech., and Washington and Jefferson. They will be remembered by Drexel students as they played for local dances last year.

Sam Potter, chairman of the dance committee, and A. M. Hoff, Alex Rals­ton, and Harry Fox are in charge of the affair. Not only have they a r ­ranged for an orchestra known for its smooth rhythm, but also for attractive and unusual decorations. The tax for the dance has been set at one dollar.

Previous Varsity Club Kick-Off dances liave been quite successful and undoubtedly this year’s dance which follows the first football game of -the season, will equal, if not surpass the dances of previous years. As the first dance of the year, this affair is espe cially important in providing the freshmen with an introduction to Drexel social life.

Y. W. Sends Delegation to Annual Student Meeting

Five Drexel Representatives Attended

Movement at Eaglesmere Last

June.

The Annual Student Christian move­ment of the Middle Atlantic States was held in .Tune at Eaglesmere, Penn­sylvania. Drexel w:ts representod by a delegation from the Y. W. C. A. consisting of Kitty Shaver, Wally Dielim. Ann Condit, Kay Grant, and Mary Lentz.

The jiurpose of the conference was to conduct specialized ccnirses needed in the leadership of Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. groups all over the world. There wererepre sentatives there from many countries. These courses wore conducted by the informal discussion group method. International relation- ships and racial problems were the work of two discussion groups.

.^ rs. Grace Elliot, noted lecturer and author in the,field of psychology, con­ducted a group in “Creative Living and Thinking.” “Studies in Christian Faith” Avas taught by Wilhelm Pauck. The delegation from Drexel was di­vided so that the school was represent­ed in each course. A groat deal of information was secured that will be of use in conducting the Y. W. C. A. program for the coming year.

“Here in New York we have seen great many skyscrapers grow^ up the past ten years or so. They

vary in architecture from classical to ultra-modern. But the foundations are pretty much the same. Contrac­tors still have to blast down into the ■arth and lay the rough, homely stone,

steel and concrete which form the base of the skyscraper, then raise the steel framework before they can work on the marble and friezes and interior murals which decorate the building. The passer-by may never see what .. foundation looks like. But every builder has to learn that as an ABC, for his whole structure rests on it.

“ 1 think we have been forgetting about foundations in our educational work, \iaying too much attention to ‘gingerbread,’ as the architects call it.

“After the war, as you know, wo had a wave of ‘niodernism.’ The style was to label ‘out of date’ and ‘old- fashioned' anything not a contempo­rary creation.

“It is my conviction that the two most useful services which our acliools can perform aro to ground the incom­ing generation in fundamentals and to teach them to think.

“ I’d like to set down u few of those

fundamentals here. I believe—“—in the ^irinciples of individu.al

initiative, stimulated by the profit mo­tive and free from regimentation, up­on which our country was built pul which were embodied in the Constitu­tion and Bill of Rights;

“—that the home and family are the foundations of the State and that our children should be taught to re­spect them;

“—in church membership and con­servative living;

“—in the homely virtues of self- denial, thrift and self-control;

“—that the business of running the State should be considered as great and honorable a career as engineer­ing, medicine or law, and that our young people should bo trained in Uie sciencc of government;

“—that we shall never have thor­oughly com])etent government or a bench' completely free from corrup­tion*' until our judges are appointed for life and not dependent upon a political machine for re-election, and our legislators chosen from those who are trained for the responsibility of governing and inculcated with the constitutional and moral principles ac­cording to which the American peojile have indicated that they wish to be governed.

“ I believe that the Ten Command­ments and the Golden Kule are as changeless as truth itself—that they and the other fundamentals of liv­ing which r havo attempted to des­cribe above are just as true today as they were nineteen centuries ago and will be centuries hence.

“We all know that as the college graduate steps off the campus into the real battle of life ho is going to run into a world of competition, selfish­ness and disillusionment, a world in which too often there are few prin­ciples, too much loose thinking and

Then, too, the show was not with­out a group of capal)le judges, for Dr. Jane L. Kift, Garden Editor of the “Philadelphia Inquirer” ; Mr. Alfred Putz, of Henry A. Dreer, Inc.; and Miss Claire Schley, of W. Atlee Bur­pee Co., were present to choose the winning exhibits.

The entries, contributed l)y Drexel alumni members, students, and faculty members, were arranged in thirty-one classes, most of which were very well represented. The highest number of points was made by Dorothy E. Hons, Germantown; second, third, and fourth honors were earned by Harlow' H. Loomis, Wayne; Julia S. Miller, Drex­el Hill; and Inna A. Schultz, Philadel phia, respectively. Among the other prize winners were Edith Meslo and Ruth Sanders, homo economics stu dents at Drexel.

Class 28 at the show proved an in­teresting and attractive display. I t consisted of Ilowers bearing the Drex­el Blue and Gold. The blue seal, sym bol of the judges’ first choice, was aflixed to the card of Mr. Loomis in this class.

Dr. Kolbe Returns From Extensive European Trip

Drexel President Who Arrived Two Weeks Ago, “Glad” To Be An American.

Dr. Parke 1?. Kolbe, President of Drexel Institute, who returned two weeks ago from an extensive Euro- ])ean trip, has indeed learned the art of being “at home abroad.” His jour­ney of three months was made to ob­serve conditions in Germany, Italy and the Balkan States. Dr. Kolbe’s absolutely imjiartial at titude aided him in “getting to the root” of the present cri.sis abroad, which he views as foreshadowing a battle to death be­tween communism, fascism and mon­archism. “Democracy is not oven in the picture,” said Dr. Kolbe upon his return. “Never in my life have I been so glad to be an American citizen!

Stresses SpiritAt the Freshman Convocation, held

on Monday afternoon, September 23, “a few words of wisdom” were pre­sented to the assembled freshmen by President Parke K. Kolbe. President Kollu' in his address laid great empha­sis upon the importance of the imme­diate realization by the fre.shman stu­dent of the growing responsibilities which must come to him with his greater privileges. After expressing his admiration of the sacrifice and the great effort that he recognizcs must be ])ut forth by students and their parents in order that college attend­ance may l)e made possible, President Kolbe stressed the fact that it is nec­essary for each college student to keep a well-formed, balanced schedule of preparation, and urged each individual lo jtrepare a carefullj' written pro­gram for his guidance through hia early days in school.

“As you enter college,” declared President Kolbe, “you may ]>e a little siir|iriscd to find yourself in possession of numerous vacant hours but, when we consider it, we are not as free as we may think we are, for the success W(> achieve depends upon the use to which we put this time. In college wo (lo not provide that the free hour he used as a study hour. That is an indi­vidual problem.”

Dr. Kolbe sjioke next of the great im))oitance of the amicable relation­ships in college as well as in life. “Be friendly; be courteous; work with your teachers; confer with them when­ever von mav feel the need of their help.”'

President Kidbe closed his address with a few words which he said were influenced by his Kuropen trip. He I'licouraged his freshmen hearers to ;ict intelligently in the affairs of their government, and urged that they try to realize, to ai>preciate, and to pre­serve those heritages which we pos- s. ss as ri'sidents of this country.

The Annual Freshman C.'imp for wo­men students was held again this year under the able direction of the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet. Over one hundred freshmen were entertained over the week-end of September 21-22 at the Sarah Van Rensselaer Dormitory and Drexel Lodge.

The freshmen were welcomed at a luncheon served in the dormitory, and later card games w'cre enjoyed by all.

It's Up To Your r iO M O R R O W m arks the opening o f DrexeVs football season

We Stand—

/N starting the new school year it is fitting that the T R IA N G L E should assert its position in the affairs of Drexel Institu te.In the past the T R IA N G L E has, on various occasions,

found itse lf the target o f certain vindictive, i f not vitriolic re­marks, relating to s ta ff partisanship. In a sincere effort to curb this tendency, the T R IA N G L E iiivites anyone with the slightest inclination toivard journalism to come out and show his ability.

I t is the purpose o f the Drexel T R IA N G L E to present the students loith news o f those events in ivhich they are interested. Personal bias is om itted insofar as any netvs article is con­cerned. On this point ive welcome all criticisms and letters ivhich do not exceed the bounds o f propriety.

I t is a comparatively well know n fact that the editorial policy o f a newspaper represents the views o f only one person. Inasmuch as the T R IA N G L E is the paper o f Drexel In stitu te we feel that more than one personas ideas should be expressed in the fo rm o f Editorials. For th is reason, the editorial mate­rial appearing in the T R IA N G L E this year tvill be w ritten by several individuals. This policy will assure the reader o f obtain­ing more than the usual one-sided vieiv o f a situation tinted with the wHter*s own particular colors.

This is the stand the T R IA N G L E wUl take fo r the comingyear.

r j# -and w ith it comes the question o f the spirit exhibited at

these games. I t is common knowledge that enthusiasm among the Drexel students is noticeably lacking. The question immediately arises—“Why?*’ That is ivhat we are ask­ing you! W hy is it that, at Drexel athletic games o f any s o r t ,^ this pep is so noticeably a m inushave been able to instill it into t h ^ ^ ^ u d e n t s , *y e t fo r % f^ ^ f^ ^ ^ know n reason Drexel has not btfien successful \n thp

IVe fealthg^t the^chief faik^Llies w ith the „w ith any other f d ^ r s seemingly involved. In th is ImnWiTe there is enough noise between classes, ye t a t the football games it is fortunate indeed i f the cheer leaders are able to obtain even a “peep” from the students. P art o f this lack of enthusiasm we feel m ay be,due to an inadequate knowledge of the yells and songs used at these games.

A notable and highly commendable s tart has been made w ith the incoming freshm an class, fo r at the A ll-Freshm an Assem bly quite a pep rally was held. The Y. M. C. A . aided in th is by d istributing to all freshm an boys the “D” books co7itain- ing all available in form ation along this line. The Y. W. C. A . is also aiding in obtaining more school spirit among the fresh ­m an girls by requiring their attendance at all varsity hockey games.

We realize that copies o f the songs and yells are very scarce and hope that the students wiU avail themselves o f the oppor­tun ity o f obtaining and learning as m any as possible.

We also feel that w ith added enthusiasm in the student body ivill come additional victories, fo r the colleges w ith the most s p in t are the ones which are at the top o f the list a t the end o f the season. I t is much the same as the query— “Which comes first, the chicken or the egg?" In this case it would, be— “Which comes first, school spirit or victories?** A re v ic tones the out­growth o f enthusiasm or vice versa? A t any rate let us get the spirit and have it followed by continuous w ins fo r D rexel!!!

Welcome Freshmen' W ^A C H year brings a new crop o f young men and women

^ fro m high and preparatory schools all over the country.Vo each one college life ivill present something new and

in teresting— something different fro m anything experienced in past schooling.

For the first time in their lives nm ny neiv studen ts ivill be thrown, on their oivn resources w ith only a casual helping hand fro m instructors and associates. In this bew ildenng maze of new faces and surroundings some will fall by the luay finding it impossible to adjust themselves and to overcome any obstacles which they may consider as fallacies in our educational system.

The freshm an m ust not deceive him self in the belief that he can “coast’* through college, though he m ay have been able to slight his work in previous academic training. Drexel In sti ­tute endeavors to equip the young man and young tvomayi fo r a useful life by giving a helping hand, but not by “babying** the student.

A t Drexel, the freshm en ivill m iss some o f the campus life that is found at colleges in smaller towns, but by the same token they will also be afforded a broader education and be en­abled to escape the narrow-minded “rah-rah** » p in t that pre­vails at such institutions.

Located in the very heart o f a great city, Drexel is able to o f er the new student such educational opportunities as the tap­ping o f the huge reservoir o f inform ation held in libi'aries, shops, and museums.

Some students have spent their entire time at Drexel alter- natina between home and school w ith a social or svorting event m ixed in only occasionally. We hope tha t none of the new ones will fall into a similar n i t find fail to get the m axim um amount o f education possible during their stay at Drexel.

The T R IA N G L E urpes each arul every freshm an to make the best of his opportunities not only in the classroom but also in extra-c'urncular activities. Because there are a multitude of activities at Drexel, ea^ch one should have no trouble in finding something of interest and something worth working at outside of the classroom.

Your colleqe career is only beginning. Let us hope its com­pletion iviH not find you regretting misspent hours and wasted opportunities.

Everybody has been welcoming the •‘Frosh”, so ours will undoubtedly be superfluous. Being afflicted with the “indus try” disease we were not pre ­sent a t the annual killing, bu t we can still recall the line extending from the Comptroller’s Office, up the s ta i r ­way and around the corner to the girls’ lockers. Were you, dear fresh ­man, at the fa r end of the line by any chance?

Next came our introduction to the locker room (with apologies to the engine room w’hose space has been snatched). W hat a delightful spot tha t turned out to be— nice and warm, especially the balcony where the “Frosh” are allowed to crowd.

Did you walk into your first Math class and get a lecture from tha t mild- mannered Prof. Davis, or were you en­te rta ined by good ole “Scroot of Two” ?

Then th a t visit to our own book­store, where you doubtless thought you were buying gold nuggets. My friends, th a t ’s only the beginning. Wait ’til you find out next year tha t the two-volume R. Q. T. C. book you

year w ill ha', o oc j^ le to , and you will have to buy

the same two volumes with a different cover for your second year.

Don’t be discouraged, dear li tt le

plenty of good times if you keep your eyes opened and can develop a sense of humor th a t will enable you to chuckle a t the oddities around you.

To end the sermon, let us tell you th a t Drexel’s not such a bad spot, We’ro still alive, and the first five years are always the hardest, ask Walt Stable, the Math whizz, or “ Iron- H ead” Petchik ,

The other night one of the Frosh hill-billies from W, Virginia brought us a le tter he wanted to send to his “ lil-sugar-pie” back yonder. We were supposed to correct it bu t decided to show the folks the original. Here it is:

Our uniformed heroes nre certainly making a touchdown with the fashion designer this fail season. In every show window are shown stunning se­date costumes—reody to a t t rac t the mili tary minded collegiate lass. From sports wear to evening ott ire there arc found tailored double breasted styles

which by the way, are a god send to our thinner sisters.

In Dewees’ College shop are prac ­tical sports coats by our young Amer­ican coat designer, Helen Cookman. This designer, alert to the college gir l’s every whim, has cleverly a t tached a warm inner throat choker to a brown herring-bone tweed sports coat. This li ttle number— too—has a mili tary air with its double breasted style made possible with truly genu­ine leather buttons, (Smell them!) In the same group, nre coats made of a Harris Tweed, exported exclusivelv from England, To one of these styles is a t tached a s tr ik ing brown velvet choker. A convenient black town coat in this selection is ideal for the average college girl because of its many uses.

A new note on coats— square wood­en l)uttons, tied by the corner on to the material. In these Harris Tweeds, an overlapping tab is a t tached to the under collar to insure warmth when crossing these windy Market Street corners. A similar tab is sewed to the bottom of the inner lining to be buttoned across our knees when we go out to 46th and Haverford to watch the Drexel grid heroes— tomorrow.

In W anam aker’s— a mili tary rain- cape inexpensively priced, shown in tweeds of greens and yellow-red and other b r ighter colors.

For more dressy occasions, Blum’s comes up to our desires with the same mili tary trend. Black fabric woven with hair of fu r and tr immed in P e r ­sian lamb makes a luscious coat fox' dates. A three piece suit of the same fabric is ideal for juniors—or are we young ladies? to use when driving in town or a t tend ing the theatre . Both of these costumes are double breasted in the current mili tary order.

H ats? To be sure— to match the dressy costumes. There is a black Pers ian lamb hat with a corky front red velvet plume. In Dewees’, a red fe lt ha t with a gold cord around the crown— rather an “avan t garde” model, is s tunning for our more sophisticated Doris Goforth. In this same category of more formal frocks was a rust wool crepo dress bedecked with two rows of wooden buttons down the front.

In te r-F ra te rn i ty Ball? Dewees’ an ­swers the questions. A darl ing red t ransparen t velvet evening gown tr immed in silver lamee cloth across the 'jliQulders^ and West Po in t frogs down the front. To top th is gown for cooler fa ll evenings, Wahamaker's- is showing a long black velvet evening wrap with sleeves set in with full­ness to give a square shoulder e f ­fect. Anyone could keep in step with th is li tt le number but, maybe not the price. Only forty-five dollars so— Drexel’s lassies—get an F.E.R.A. posi­tion! Au revoir, nies amies, unti l next week, and a happy new term to you all.

Greetings:Doubtlessly most of the readers of

this column have read many in teres t ­ing l)ooks of fiction, drama, poetry, history, or biography, during the vaca ­tion months. September, the month in whiih n\any return to work, includ­ing authors, always brings us in teres t ­ing books of all varieties. Probably the novel does not hold first place in the books of the month, but I Avant to tell you about a novel w’hich was given to us this month by Ellen A n­derson Glasgow.

“ Vein of Iron,” the ti tle of Ellen Glasgow’s novel, has a t trac ted con­siderable amount of at tent ion on the part of the reading public. Dorothy Canfield in reviewing the book said, “But the book is no more depressing than a beautifully grave symphony. Those who like only the kind of music which is an accompaniment to the fox tro t should avoid this unflinching pres­entation of human courage and what it can endure.”

“Vein of Iron” deals with the story of the life of the Pincast le family in the Great Valley of Virginia. Tlie members of this part icular family and their ancestors before them accepted life as it came, took the joys and the sorrows for w'hat they were worth. Their joys were not many, but their sorrows and hardships were numerous because of continuous Indian warfare and raw frontier life. Ada Pincastle

plays the lending pnrt in the pages of the book. The story deals with her l)nttles of life which nre no different Irom those of her forefathers . Bo- ciui^e of her undying spiri t nnd cour- nge, she conquers where others are de- teat ed. However, Ada is not nlono in her si>lendid courage. The other char- nrters in the book also have the vein of iron which, in more simple terms, means nothing more than courage. The characters of this novel seem to ac tu ­ally breath nnd walk by themselves; they are substantial people.

The novel as a whole is one whose pages are full of wisdom and int<‘grity. “ Vein of Iron” is beautifully writ ten and is touched everywhere by Ellon Glasgow’s own sentiment concerning beauty. Because of its outs tanding qualities, such as the author’s rare descriptive passages and her manner of knit t ing the story together so firm­ly, we cannot help feel tha t Ellen Glasgow has convinced her public tha t to have courage is to have nil. Her single purpose is to thoroughly por­tray a “ Vein of Iron.”

His abi li ty to re turn punts for Hubstantial gains will play a large part in reducing the e f ­fective yardage of Ht. .Joe’s kicking.

Harry Fox haa been getting off 60 and 70 yard punts this year and his control of the ball has so improved aB to warrant “quarterback” Knapp’s use of the “quick kick” as an offensive weapon. George Baker a t fullback rounds out this experienced quartet and woe to the Hawks if this elusive ball carrier gets loose.

Captain “Boo Boo” Hoff refuses to hold the Hawks lightly. “I saw them play Temple,” he said, “and despite the flcoro, their defense is hard to pierce. I look for a tough, see-saw bat tle with our boys holding a slight edge because; of our stronger offense and our hard- charging line.”

St. Joe’s w'ill be led by Capt, Pluck, former St. Joe ’s Prep star , whose fire and spiri t lead him to the center of every play. The Hawks will be hard to stop.

Scope of Intra-Mural Sport Teams Extended

Boxing Now To Take More Impor­tant Place in Drexel’s Intra-Mural Sport Program — McMain* Now Recruiting Future Pugilists.

I t seems as though Drexel will open i ts pigskin to t ing tomorrow with a pitched bat t le against St. Joseph’s. For the past few years the Dragons haven’t had the “ Hawks” on the ir schedule, but last year Drexel played a practice game against St. Joseph’s and met with very li tt le opposition. How­ever, this year’s team has been g rea t ­ly improved and a real bat t le is ex ­pected.

* # *

Boo Hoff, captain of the team and s ta r tackle last year, will be in there scrapping for dear old Drexel a t the same position. Last year Boo was out­standing in his abili ty to open holes in the opposing lines and to break up the opposing team’s offense.

« « *

l?ifilph Petchik , mainstay of the jon’s defense during the past few s, has returned to Coach Halas’ and although Baker is slated to

. as fallback, will probably see >n tomorrow.

iker is a pre-junior who thrilled ... .^ jL joca l his spectacularline plunges last year, antf wlTd, iliCi- dontally, was one of the two sopho­more’s “ Iron Men” on last year’s v a r ­sity, will be expected to bear the brun t of th ' ',Blue /^nd Gold at tack.

* « *

The graduation of Brevda and W al­lace le ft gaps a t both end positions. El Conard and Bick Stevens have shown such promise in the pre-season workouts tha t many believe tha t the loss of the two stealing ends will not be f eu . '

« « «

Joe Rhile, another ve ^ran Halas- man, will be back a t his old post at center and will be flanked a t ei ther side by Chirley Foltz, who saw action last year, and Clint Smullen, another veteran Dragon. At tackle^ will be Fitzgerald and Hoff, both of whom were regulars on last year’s squad.

* * ^

Dave Curry, slated for end with Bick Stevens, will not be in the fray for a few weeks due to a twis ted ve r ­tebrae which he received in practice.

Knapp, Potter , and Fox, will be in the line-up as quarterback, le ft ha l f ­back and right halfback, respectively.

No changes in the fundamental ru l ­ings have been put through, but some modifications have been made which

“ Iittra-mural sports this year will be more extensive than last year,” states Coach Halas.

Although intra mural sports progress­ed a K^eat deal last year, they will witness even greater strides this year. There is a program of greatly varied sports, one of which will in terest every student. Among the sports are touch football, playground ball, volley ball, basketball, soccer, wrestling and box­ing. I f a student does not take part in anything else, he should a t least learn the fundamentals of self-defense. This does not, as seems to be the com­mon idea, mean tha t you have to get out and be slammed around. Boxing can be taught without physical vio­lence and should be taken advantage of.

Last year boxing was partic ipated in by a large number of students and several times boxing matches were held before basketball games. In these matches there were eight con­testants, and interes ting matches took place. Kae Crowther, who had charge of boxing in former years, is now as­sistant to the head football coach at Harvard . His place has been taken by Maury McMains, who is a t present assist ing Coach Halas with the foot­ball squad. McMains already has eighteen fellows to work out; but he is looking for still more.

Touch football takes a large pa r t in intra-mural sports because of the in ­terest shown in it t>y the fraternities, and because there are many who would like to play football but feel they do not have time for the regular game.

Men’s Tennis Tourney To Start October 5

Tennis! The twing of the rackets, the thrill of speedy play, and tha t feeling victory gives to you. Drexel- ites, th is is the sport for you.

New material for the tennis team is now to be given its opportunity. Oc­tober 2, a t 46tr and Haverford , the stooges of tennis will play to deter ­mine the most likely candidates for next year’s varsity team. Those com­peting w'ith each other in the qual ify ­ing matches will be: Logne vs. Eshle- nian. Gruel vs. Spitz, Otto vs. Gray, Cosk vs. Shrimp, Dean vs. Gray. Smith, Burgess and Wildrick drew byes.*■ Di&t.'il’s-tsr jiia team is one of which we can be proud. Last ycaiLthe team defeated F. & M., Albright, Villa-rf^ff, Delaware, Ju n ia ta and held Ursinus and lost to Penn.

The loss of members of the squad hit us hard this year, bu t hopes are high tha t enough A1 materia l will /gain be brought to light to fill the

A’acancies. Those vars ity membg,rs tha t graduated are Shafer, 1; Thayer, 2; Linehan, 4; and Lawrence, 6 . The let- teynen still with the team are Ander­son, 3, and captain; Robin, 5; and Blackstone, 3rd doubles team.

will make the classification and word­ing of the rules clearer. These changes should give the fans and rooters a b e t ­te r unders tanding of the rulings the referee makes.

The most dras tic change was made in the slowing up of the whistle. U n ­der the old rules the ball carr ier was downed when a tackier had stopped him even though he was on his feet, but, under the new ruling he is not downed unti l his knee or some other par t of his body is on the ground. This allow's the runner to throw a lateral pass even though stopped dead by a tackier. I f the runner can step out of the tackler’s arms a f te r he is stopped i t is ent irely legal under the new ruling. Coach Halas states th a t under this rule the fans may look for more open play and a fas te r game.

Dragon Backfielders Coached by McMains

Versatile Pigskin Worshipper of Pre- War Days, Quarterback of Two Championship Teams Lends Elfforts For Dragon Football.

Maurie McMains, assisant in the Physical Education Department, ia back with us again to instruct the backfield how to “ s tru t their stuff.”

Coach McMains’ football career be­gan in pre-war days when he played at Des Moines, Iowa, He was qua r te r ­back when Des Moines won the Trans- Missouri Championship. A fter the war he played with the West Coast M a­rines when they won the Service Cham­pionship. In 1921 he was playing on the Western Maryland team and the next year he coached a professional team in Baltimore. Following this he played on the Frankfo rd Legion team of th is city. Then a f t e r a year, he returned to Balt imore, where he was on the advisory board of the U ni­versity of Baltimore.

News is his vocation. He was on the editorial staff of the “Baltimore Sun” for many years and his in terest lies in this field of work.

Jean McKay Ejected Captain of Wo­men’s Tennis Team. Ogden to be Manager; New Point System Comes Into Elffect.

The Women’s Athletic Board held their initial meeting of the year on Wednesday, October 2 . Unfinished business was discussed and plans for fu ture activ ities were made.

CAPTAIN “BOO” H o r r

“ I made more true fr iends in foot­ball than I ever expect to make the rest of my life,” says Mered A. Hoff, captain of Ihe varsity football team. He also states tha t football, when played clean and hard, is the best kind of sport, since you have to be on 3'our toes all of the time.

Boo Hoff graduated from Lansdale High School and Allentown Prep. He played tackle a t those schools and in 1931 entered Drexel and played end on tho varsity squad. For the next two years he played end and last year, tackle; this year he will be back again a t his old post, end. He weighs 215 pounds and stands six feet four inches. Boo played in 1931 with Mike TiaBove All-American mention from Drexel. That year Drexel played many nf the outs tanding colleges in the East and lost only to Rutgers.

Although Boo has played more than four years of varsity football, he hasn’t been disqualified because the four-year el igibility football ruling came into effect one year af ter he register at Drexel.

The nickname “Boo” came from the notorious racketeer “Boo Boo” Hoff, who was h it t ing the front page at the same time Mered came to Drexel.

Because of Hoff’s popularity, he was elected by members of the vars ity squad to fill the position of captain on this year’s team, replacing Sam Potter , who was captain last year.

Not only does Boo’s abili ty lie in football, bu t he is a basketeer “par excellence.” He has played basket ­ball for four years and showed great playing abili ty as center on the team.

Philadeli)hia, Pa.— You’ll dispense with heavy lunches if you want to be alert for your afternoon classes. That is, you will if you heed the ad vice of Dr. Donald A. Laird, Colgate Univers ity psychologist.

While on a recent visit here, Dr. Laird had this to say about the effect of eating large meals at noon time:

“Our experiments showed conclu­sively th a t brain, or cerebral, anemia, caused by the digestive organs d raw ­ing blood away from the brain, is the cause of the sluggish mental condition which afliicts oflice workers af ter the noon lunch period, and tha t this con­dition results in a definite impairment of the speed and accuracy with which their minds work.

“ When the brain is adequately sup- ])lied with blood, and li terally ‘in the pink of condition,’ mental efliciency tends to be at its highest point. When the digestive system is called upon to digest a heavy meal and draws ui>on the blood supply of the brain, mental efliciency is lowered.”

LYON a ARMORPHILADELPHIA

Washington, 1). ('.— Previous to lO.'iL*, before New Dealers came to this tf»wn, the words “Oovci'nmcnt em­ployee” conjured up in the mind of the average citizen a ])icture of a thin, middle-aged or even elderly ]>er- son, bent o\'er a desk in some Wash­ington oflice, filling in endless forms at ;i snai l’s jiace. Washington itself was pictured as a tow'n full of such clerkly jieople, plus Senators w’ith black Stetsons, and a few Cherokecs in to see the Groat White Father.

At that, Mr. Average Citizen wasn’t so fa r wrong. The national capital was something like tha t. But the New' Deal has changed things here con­siderably, and Washington’s Mummy Epoch has been superseded by the Children’s Hour, comparatively speak- ing.

At least some of the oldsters think of it as the Children’s Hour, S trong­hold af ter stroghold of the oldtimers has fallen into the hands of young

folks just out of college. The Treas­ury Dejiartment, the Department of Laboi', the Department of Commerce, the Department of Agriculture, have had their dignity severelv jolted by the inllux of f’rain Trusters, Junior l>rain Trusters, and their various ajt- prentices and discijtles.

The Dejjartment of Labor is an out­standing examjde. Once its Bureau of Labor stat ist ics had as ])ersonnel a great many elderly, slow-moving ]ieople, but now if you were to dro]> around you would find a considerable sjirinkling of youthful statisticians, out of college only a few years, ]>lus a numl)er of ex-instructors, and quite a few a t trac t ive young ladies doing stenographic work whom you might rightly suspect got out of Bander- snatch’s Bon-Ton Business Ins t i tu te just a few weeks ago.

The New Deal agencies, with tlieir predilection for young college g radu ­ates, have in many cases infected the old line departments under whose j u r ­isdiction some of them come, with the same virus. The AAA, under the influence of Wallace and Tugwell, hired score upon score of young eco­nomists, stat ist icians, lawyers, minor executives, and accountants, not to mention stenographers , clerks, and typists. No m atte r how small the school you come from, i t ’s a safe bet tha t you could muster at least a corporal’s guard of alumni and alum­nae of the same school, from among the em])loyee8 of the AAA. A good

mnny of them are now gettiuK I the etldrr divisions of the l>e]>artmenf • f Agriculture.

i As for the NI?A, well, before the [Supreme Court said, “ Thoti shnlt not code", it \v;is the Harvard Columbia- Princeton - l>artmouth - Michigan - Tu lane Amherst-Siwasli ;md what have- you-club all rolled into one. The wide

co r r ido rs of the Commerc(> Huildinc were filled with shaiplookinjj Phi lietes conversing earnestly with each other fitiout o)ieti )trices. co<le viola­tions. labor policies, and whether or not the Scrap Iron and Steel Ins t i ­tute's Code should have clause l.T, section 4, stricken out in fairness to manufacturers of liobby pins. Now that till’ P>lu(' F^ayl(‘ has lost its tail feathers, many of the young folks have left the NRA, but close scrutinv fliscloses that they are now with the •\AA, the Hes(>ttlement A dministra ­tion, the \V A , the FHHA, or the WPA.

'I'lie I.Mst three !igenci('s naiiK'd prob­ably have the hiphest jK'rcentage of recent college graduates on their ]>av- I’olls, of all tlu“ New Deal bureaus. Columbia, Wisconsin, and ^Michigan alumni seem to account for the g rea t ­est jiart of this grou]) of college peo- ].le.

The efTect on the town as a whole lias been marked. A walk along P enn ­sylvania Avenue a t noon or in the evening, in the compass of a few blocks, turn up dozens of university ))eo)de. Street , the c i ty ’s jirincipal shopping thoroughfare, displays in its store windows far more ’clothing meant for ])eople under th i r ty than ever before.

The cocktai)'%)unges of 14th and Kith Streets, the res taurants of Con­nect icut Avenue, are filled with young Government lawyers, economists, sten- ogra])hers, and secretaries. Gazing about idly, Joe Smith of Oregon U. discovers the i)resence of Joe P. Smith of Oregon U. and rushes over to shake his hand. They discover they’ve both been working in Wash­ington for Uncle Sam for over a year, and neither knew the other was in town. There are so many of them in from so many colleges th a t one can easily miss meeting an old classmate for months on end.

I 'n iversity proups have formpil. ■'ome nuM'tin^ regularly, others in­formally for lunch. Over the t a b l e tliey tiilk of many tliinjjs. nboiit tli' WPA allotment to Ti'xas, ;ibout n jjivl they knew back on the campus. ;)boiil M survey they expect to have a han .1 in when their b»ireau starts it gi.ing. about the superiority of Washington'' ' mint jnle]ts to th;it sulphuric acid they drank at the Cornell Penn game back in 1!*:!]. They're aj.t to be clan nish at times, especially when (r.-er- taken by nostalgia. P.ut more often tlu'v mix readily, Columbiji with Dvrt- mouth. Williams with Amherst. Tra ­ditional college rivalries >;o by the bo.'trd in W.ashington.

Most of them like the town. The presence of so many other young jhm)- ple. the academic atmosphere tha' hovers f;iintly in the air, (everv tiuM an imi)ort;int Congressman Ix'labors llie Brain Trust, or the Su])iemo Court frowns nt the N(mv Deal, it becomi's fa in ter) the i.hysical resem­blance of the Capitol with its jtarks and acres of jjreensward to ;i oam]>us, all these things contr ibute to making; n.A.'s and M.A.'s and Ph.D.'s fei'l very much at home.

In their off hours they swarm over the tennis courts and pack the swim­ming pools, fill the picture houses and crowd the concerts. Everv th ird girl among them looks like ‘ last vear’s Prom Qu(>en, and possiblv is.' The shops tha t rent bicycles,' including tandems, rq io r t a boom in their busi ­ness. At night, roller skat ing happily around the Lincoln Memorial, one finds Air. Gainsborough, who during the day is a busy and earnest young at torney over at the Department of Justice.

And meanwhile, the (tovernment clerk of yesteryear, a very Throttle bottomish individual, continues to work on in Washington, daily seeing the young folks moving in and the old folks re tiring, with the whole life of Washington get t ing new impetus from these lively youngsters.

He only hopes tha t if he decides to take a walk some evening a f te r dark, down Constitution Avenue, he w'ill be able to avoid being run over more than twice by some of these young­sters on their rented bicycles.
