nent critic and writer will speakat Technology Thursday after-noon at one o'clock in room 4-270, according to an announce-ment made by Professor R. E.Rogers, of the Department ofEnglish and History, yesterday.

Sophomores Have Edge onFreshmen in Most of

The Events

CREW RACE A TOSS-UP

Soph Football Team Has WonLast Two Games and Men

Are Confident

With Field Day only four days dis-tant the teams are rapidly acquiringtheir final polish and a hot contest ispromised on the eventful day. Whilethe Sophomores appear to be the fav-ol ite just 'now their confidence mayprove to be a Waterloo and aff ord theClass of 1929 an opportunity to bringhome the Field Day bacon. Again thefrosh aggregations may spring a sur-prise by staging a final spurt duringthe week and bring their outfits upto the present level of the Sophs.

In football it looks. as though theSophomores have everything theirown way. The last two games withThayEr Academy and Lowell Aextilehave been victories, and the gamewith St. James was a close score. Ac-cording to all sport dope the LowellTextile team, outweighing the Sopho-mores, were expected to score heavily.It .s not surprising therefore that theSophs having licked them should befull of confidence about the outcomeof Field Day.

Football Cou nts M ostThe freshman team lost the first

two games and held the B. U. fresh-man to a scoreless tie. "Bud" Shjotts,the frosh coach, declares that the menare improving with each game andexpects that his squad will put up astiff battle on Field Day. Barring ac-cidenlts in the lineup the freshmenwill put a snappy, fighting bunch onthe field Friday and the Sopho-mores will have a tough struggle totriumph.

With the football game counting 5points the winner of this contest hasa good chance of winning Field Day.Crew and track each count 3 pointsand the tug-of-war only 2. The classwinning football has to win merelylone other event to have their numer-als inscribed on the Field Day Cup.

In crew the better of the two class-es is a toss up. The Sophomores havethe ,advantage of having rowed to-gether and have profited a great dealin a year under the tutelage of "Bill"

Fail-ure of the motors cut -out radio com-munication and being unable to givetheir bearings to rescue ships, theywhere compelled to drift before thewind in the high seas for days in thelight plane.

Had Charge of FlightCommander Rodgers had charge -of

the three planes which were attempt-ing the non-stop ~alwiaikian flight andMwas in command of his own planewhich nearly met disaster. Thoughforced down in mid-ocean the flightwas not considered a failure, as itdemonstrated the air worthiness andthe sea worthiness of the plane. Thedetails of the flight should be of parti-cular interest since a graduate of theInstitute., 'B. J. Canne'l '25, was navi-1gation officer of the plane.

Commander Rodgers flew to Bostonyesterday from Mitchell Field, LongIsland, in order to address the Algo-n-quin Club in the -evening. Tonight heis speaking before the Boston CityClub, whose secretary induced theCommander to come to Boston. TheAeronautical Society, hearing thatCommander Rodgers was to be in Bos-ton, made arrangements with him tospeak to the. undergraduate body.

President Stratton, a personalfriend of the Commander, will intro-duce him at the meeting today. Asthere are only two Senior classesscehduled at 4 o'clock this afternoonpractically all of the Seniors will beat liberty to attend the talk. Yester-day afternoon it had not been definite-ly decided -whether or not the fresh-men would be excused from drill to at-tend. Arranlgements have already beenconcluded to shortest the drill periodon Wednesday that the men may at-.tenld a Field Day mass meeting.

PROF. JACKSON ATHOT SPRINGS, ARK.

Meeting of Edison IlluminatingCompanies Association

Professor D. C. Jackson, head ofthe Electrical EngineeringDepartment

at the Institute, was a speaker- at the,

annual meeting of the Association of

Edison Illuminating Companies, held

last week from Tuesday to Friday at

BIot Springs, Arkansas. ProfessorJackson read a paper on "Tlhe Dis-

tribution of Elecftricity.' using data

obtained through a study of condi-tions in Newv York The distribution

of electricity is coming to be recog-

nized as one of the most important

branches of electricity investigation.This is illustrated by the fact that

Lower Manhattan uses seventy million

kilo-watt hours per year per square

mile, while the loop district of Clii-

scago uses a similarify large amount

of electricity.

A meeting of the Edison Compan-

ies is held once each year for the pur-

pose of discussing Exective Engine-

ering and Commercial Problems. Many

Executives and Engineers of the Edi-

son Light wand Power Companies from

all over the United States were pres-

ent at the recent meeting. Some of the

subjects discussed were: High Tension

Cables, and the Distrilbution of Elec-

tricity in large cities.These Edison Companies grew up

through the old licenses obtained un-

der the Edison patents, and the Com-panies have held together since their

organization.

Unheralded Harvard SophWins Individual Honors

With Ease

"Harvard scored a big upset whenthey led the VTarsity over the Charles-river course by the score of 24-31, andthey performed a miracle when theyjust nosed out the Engineer Frosh.Both races were exceptionally wellrun and it was one of the worst breaksof the game that made the Institueharriers bow twvice to the Crimsonrunners.

Harvard was conceded a goodchance for second place in the Var-sity meet to Luttman its crack dis-tance man, but they didn't even con-sider him as the man to take themeasure of Marvin Rick. 'To showhow far off the Olympic man was,one has to notice that not only didLuttman lead him, but also 'Red' Hag-garty and Tibbetts, two Harvard starsand his own teammate Bill Rooney.Harvard showed some pretty teamwork. Their first three men ranabreast for the last quarter of thedistance, and it was not until 50-yardsfrom tht finis;h that Luttman pulledaway from his tleam mates.

Harvard Frosh Spring SupriseThe rooters were amazed at the

way these men finished; it was sodifferent from the way that they hadforecasted the race. Then came inline, five 'Tec~h men: Bill Rooney,Marvin Rick, Pete KirwIin, D:onHooper, and Akerely. It appeared asif the Institute harriers had capturedthe meet, but suddenly it was foundout that Pete had not been given anumber to wear and consequentlycould not count. In the meantime,Gordan of Harvard had scored beforeSmith of Tech and the meet was lost.It was one of the toughest breaksthat Os Hedlund has had. The firstfive Engineers finished within a per-

Large Number ofMen of InstituteSeek Employment

Shy at Sales Work-WillingTo Work Long Hours at

Small Rate

So far the T. C. A. Employment Bu-reau has had about 225 applicantsfor work, as compared with 350 forthe whole of last year. A great dealof service has been done along thisline by the T. C. A., with no chargemade for this service. There areso many men and so many things todo, that it is rather difficult to distrib-ute the work.

A very puzzling situation isnoticed in the type of work chosenby the men. Practically without ex-ception, the applicants would ratherwork more hours, and for much lesspay on some job, affording steady paythan to take work on a commissionbasis. This is true of sales work es-

pecially where less time is necessaryand which nets more money. Many ofthe sales positions are in selling goodsof a mechanical nature, which wouldgive the salesmen all insight into thebusiness which would be of muchvalue to them at Technology and intheir later life.

A position is open for some man toprepare sketches and articles of anArchitectural nature for a magazine. Aman is wanted who will teach chem-istry, trigonometry, and solid geome-try at a military school mornings.Room, board, and pay will be suppliedhim, the pay depending upon the timehe can give to teaching. The T. C. A.Employment bureau has 40 men onits files who are willing to donateblood when called upon by varous hos-pitals. There are many other posi-tions open in various lines for menwho wish to list their names in theEmployment Office.

FRESHMEN TO HEARCAPTAIN P. R. CREED

Organizer of SportsmanshipBrotherhood to Give

Second Talk

This week's freshman lecture willbe given by Captain P. R. Creed,organizer and secretary of the "sport-manship Brotherhood," and will berelated to good sportmanship inathletics.

Captain Creed is an Englishmanand while in this country for a short;stay a few years ago greatly impress-ed those present at a banquet in NewYork, when he explained his ideas oilsportmianwship. Backed by several in-fluential men Captain Creed thenundertook the organization of theSportmanship Brotherhood.

Last winter he was in Boston or-ganizing a local branch of this brother-hood known as the Boston Sportman-shilp League which was favlorablyreceived in the schools of Bostonandits surroundings especially dn Fram-inghamn. His first appearance at theInstitute was last May when he spokeat the annual banquet of the AthleticAssociation. The object of the Sport-manship Brotherhood is "to fosterand spread the ideas of good cleansportamanslhip throughout the world,"and his appearance before the fresll-man on this subject the week beforeField Day is more than a coincidence.

Dr. A. W. Rorwe '01, secretary ofthe Advisory Council on Athleticsand President of the Varsity Club,will introduce Captain Creed. Thelecture is the second of the freshmanseries and still be given Thursday af-ternoon at 4 o'clock in room 10-250.Attendance at this lecture is not com-pulsory, but as no freshman classesare being 'held during this hour it ishoped that all freshman will be pres-ent.

COMPETITION OPENSAFTER TlHANKSGIVING

Theplan will be explained in full at ameeting which the committee willhold just after Thanksgiving, probablyon the Tuesday following. All fresh-men interested are urged to attendthis meeting.

Candidates are expected to shareand participate in the administrationof Walker Memorial and also are ex-pected to share its social advantagesand participate in its social functions,such as dances. Members of the com-mittee and all candidates receive com-plimentary tickets to all dances andother social affairs.

IDIOT MAN (L'HOMM[E STUPIDE),an opinion of the human race byCharles Richet. New York. Bren-tano's. $2.·0.

This book is curiously interesting as'the expresion of a view point, a viewpoint that is flat and unconvincing be-cause it is too fanatically seriousRichet takes up the numerous foiblesand frailties of mankind, such as selfmutilation. drink, war, religious fanat-icism, et cetera, and attempts to proveby thlen that man, instead of beinga little belowv the angels, is some dis-tance below the animals. His argu-ments somehow fail to hit the mark,although he does succeed in project-ing something of a wholesome pessi-mism that tends to remove any illu-sion of man's present place in the sun.

A candid opinion of the book is thatthe author discovered something hehad written in his'days back in col-lege, and submitted it for publication.Coming as it does from a professor ofphysiology in France and winnier ofthe Nobel Prize for physiology in1913, it seems too amateurish and tooloosely hung together for a man of hiscalibre.

Mencken bemoans the human racewith barbed wit and subtile mialice;Mark Twain with saving humor de-cried the intelligence of man, butIdiot Man condemns homo sapiens ashomo stultissimus is ghastly serious-ness. It is a tranSCriP, with numer-ous annotations and cur-rent facts, ofthe hell-fire and brimstone sermon ofa circuit riding Babtist parson, leav-ing out only the theory of rege-nera-tion.. I

THE MIRACLE|To a hushed and subdued audience,

completely under the solemn influence

of tile Cathedral interior of the OperaHouse, comes this masterpiece of alle-Lgorical pantomime, based upon a me-diaeval legend running the gamut ofall the frailtties of llumlan emotions.In is suberbly staged, unusually wellacted, and generally effective. Thespectators were in a quandry at theend of the performance as to applause-to apnlauld seemhed almost sacrilegeyot failure to do so seemed unfair tothe act ors who had so well carriedout their palrts as to mnake one feelactually in a real cathedral.

"The Miracle" is the elaborate re-vival of a story handed down fromthe middle ages of the temptationsand adventures of a nweely installednlun, alone in the great cathedral. Shehas been r ousd to a high pitch ofreligious fervor by a most impressiveservice, yet is unable to forget a hand-somle Imight, nlow bar red from herlife by her vows. Shie is tempted bya strange piper, whloml seems to be atonce the spirit of pleasure and evil,and is carried away by his piping de-spite her endeavors to remain true to

ior pronltisos. alld to the miraculouss tLatue of the Virgill. She falls atlast, and is taken Aoff by her knight.

F*rom then onl, she is the cause ofthe downfall of many a man. She isloved by a robber baron, a prince,andc an Emperer in turn, and eachcome to a tragic end, finally gatheredin by the Spirit of Death who hauntsthe footsteps of the beautiful escapednun.

During her absence, her place hasbeen taken by the Madonna who comesto life, and steps down majesticallyfrom the pedestal uponl which her sta-tue has stood above the worshipingmultitudes.

Completely disillusioned about theoutside world, whose sin and wicked-nes has so cruelly been forced uponher, the nun goes back to her havenof refuge, the sheltering convent.Upon her return, the Virgin again as-sumes her place and all unite inthanksgiving for the miraculous re-turn of the wonderworking statue.

Throughout the entire production,there tuns a spirit of religion yet itdoes not pall uponl one as might soeasily be supposed. It is without doubtthe best play, (or shall we call it apagent?) that it has ever been the

ATLANTIS IN AMERICA. A studyin archaeology by Lewis Spence.New York. Bretana's. $4:00.The ohief objppt of this book is to

portray the existence of Atlantean cul.ture in America with the examples ofits culture here compared with theevidences of Atlantean culture in Eu-rope. All the suppositions made inthe volume are substantiated withproofs from historic accounts and evi-dence derived from a close study ofthe flora and fauna existing on theAmerican continents.

There has been much discussion inthe past as to the existence of theAtlantean continent as portrayed inthe works of Plato, Ovid, and in thetraditions of Europe. Mr. Spence hassummarized briely, in the first chap.ters of hlis book, the proofs that thereonce existed such a place. The con.tinent is then said to have stretchedfrom the Straits of Gibraltar, throughthe West Indies, to Mexico and Cen.tral America. The Azores and Ca.nary Islands off Europe and the WestIndies off Mexico are all that remainof the great Atlantis.

The theory advanced holds that themigration of the peoples from thecontinent was directed in two ways-toward Central America and to theEuropean continent. It would be onlynatural therefore, that these peoplewould carry with them their customs,traditions and culture. It is fromsuch material unearthed in Mexico,Central America, and the Indies thatthe book has been written.

The book is well written in a fash-ion which makes the material in it in.teresting to the reader who is not in.clined toward archaeology. In addi-tiaon, the plates and maps are capableof holding one's interest, presenting astudy in ancient geography.

MATRIX, a novel by Melvin P. Levey,New York, Thomas Seltzer, $2.00.

McKim is his name, though any oth-er would fit equally well.

McKim is a lonely individual findinglife a progression of entrances intodark, mysterious ineluctable passages.He is an aspiring youth who findsenvironment cramping and restrictive,-just as you do. He is a fearing boywho finds the sex phenomena of adol-escence an ordeal, who finds collegea mechanical mumbling of second-hand knowledge, who has diffi-culty confining his passions in themold of convention and doesn't quitesucceed,-just like the most of us. Sothis book is a novel of the vicissitudesof McKim and as such it is a novel ofthe vicissitudes of most of us; it is abook in which a man continually findshimself probed and described.

It is a book that in spots evokesloud guffaws from the purient mindedbecause it is honest, frank, unabridgedin its picture of a man's experienceswith life. The manifestations of sexare discussed with pointed nudity ofdetail. Education, college, receives akeen revaluation. And the imbecili-ties of the present social order areplayed upon with a biting wit. Wehave not anywhere read a closer, andmore penetrating analysis of adoles-cence, combined with such facility ofphrase and agree-able movement. Theauthor, some twenty odd years of age,is young enough to remember vividlythe experiences of youth and his reac-tions to schooling. So it is not a bookof senescent theorizing, but a closerange observation.

Girl artists have a very noticeablecomples of picturing feminity, at least

there is plenty of it il the NovemberVoo Doo. Whatever men are lucky

enough to be included in the drawingsal e well attended to by the fair sex.

Miss Alice Clevenger has favored

these thirsty for knowledge with "In-

timate Glimpses of the I Kepta Up-silon Sorority."

Literary work from a variety of

sources Serves to make a departurefrom the usual "line" which a col-

lege comic is apt to acquire. The

thirty odd illustrations contained in

the issue are well interspersed withliterary material of quite a differenttype than is usually seen by the VooDoo reader.

An unusual take-off oil EugeneO'Neil's play, "Desire under theElms," is one of the mllst noticeableof the literary colltributiolls. Sever alrather cute comments oil The techmain by their fair admirers are qui' eill evidence.

Really the issue is the best we haveseen since last Prom ltnulber. The

art work is uniformlly good aiid thoughmol e or less of one type, it is quiteenjoyably different. As llunlolist~s,

these girls are by no means amateurs.

We call safely say that Phos hasplaced one mol e feather in his boil-net this time.

common. Same thing may be said of the Style effect inmaking a garment.Our Coats are tailored loose, yet have body fitting lines-vide natural shoulders with no indication of draping over thehips-plain notch collars that are wide and flat and fronts in-clined toward straight lines with rounded corners.

The result of the student agitation

at Amherst concerning the expansion

of the college was an overwhelming

victory for the advocates of a smaller

college. The ballots, distributed by

The Student, undergraduate newspa-

per, showed an emphatic preference

for a college of 600 students, almost

100 smaller than at present. Only

two or three ballots of the 600 cast

wanted a college of more than 1000

students. The discussion of the ideal

size of Amherst is significant in viewof the trustee meeting November 7, atwhich a definite college policy mustbe decided upon.

Sixty colleges will be brought to-

gether at Wellesley on the week end

of November 12 and 14, when the rep-

resentatives of all the colleges east of

the Mississippi meet in a conferencecalled by the Intercollegiate CollegeGovernment association. The confer-ence will bring forward for discussionthe chief problems in student govern-ment common to every undergraduatebody, with the hope of mutual benefit

in learning the methods found suc-

cessful by individual colleges.

ELECTION METHODS

Tr HE OTHER day, one of the Boston mayoralty candidateswas made the target of a couple of bullets, supposedly firedby partisans of some one of his opponents because he refused

to obey an anonymous order to retire from the election race. Poli-tics have always been more or less crooked, but even so a murderattempt has not heretofore been a common adjunct of an election.

That such an affair is a disgrace to the city of Boston goeswithout saying. But there is a deeper significance than that insuch setting aside of law by those who seek to execute the law, orat least to choose those who shall execute the law. It is a severeindictment of our entire system of electioneering.

Nowadays the tendency of a candidate for public office is toward"mud-slingi~ng,"--that is, telling why his rivals should not be elect-ed instead of reciting his own qualifications. Party lines up againstparty; even within the parties partisans of one man become bit-ter against those of another; and by the time a campaign is wellunder way lifelong friends have become enemies. The end of sucha situation is naturally an event like this attempt at murder.

Fortunately, in this instance the bullets failed of their mark.But until the politicians realize that it is poor policy to devotean electi'on campaign to stirring up enmity, personal violence wvillcontinue to be a menace at elections.

Outweighed but not outplayed, the fighting Sophomore ma-chine scored its second victory of the season. This time it was atthe expense of the Lo-well Textile School, who were defeated to thetulle of 6-0.

M¢enaced by the bulky Lowell juggernaut the Sophomore eleventurned on full speed ahead and split the mighty juggernaut in two.In a tense struggle between two fighting teams on the gridiron,ILowell Textile reeled under a sharp and versatile attack andfinally staggered to defeat as 500 spectators looked down from thestands at the Ljowell Stadium.

gineer and Terrier frosh elevens battled to a Scoreless tie last Friday. Itwas a mighty fine spectacle for thefew students of both aggregationswho were on the side lines. The ma-terial improvement of the En~ginleerfrosh was in evidenhee from the be-ginning of the fracas. This is a splen-did example of what coaching doesfor a team. All the past week, CoachesSchotts and Dyer ahive been drillingtheir men overtime to prepare for thebig game on Field Day and the results-of this tutoring was visible Friday.The no-score game was virtually a vic-tory for the Engineers and probablywould have been if Father Time hadnot made his decision too soon. Itwas an ideal day for football and avery fast game resulted.

Capt. Walsh won the toss and Smithkicked off for B. U. Donahue receivedthe ball and ran it back 5 yards. Teechon a series of line plunges made first.down. B. LT. lleld, and Walsh puntedto Parker. The Terriers were held fordowns. Smith booted to Tech's 20yard line. On a series of end runs,ITech made first down. The Terrierline again held for downs, and soWalsh was forced to punt. On .a fumn-ble, Tech recovered the ball.

Half Ends In MoidfieldDonahue made 6 yards around

right end. On the next play the ballwras lost on a fumble, but Tech re-covlered. Walsh kicked to B. UJ.'s 30

1yard line. Tilly made 6 off righttackle. Thle Terrier then tried thepassing game, which proved unsuc-cessful. Donahue made 4 yards off leftguard. Walsh made 3 on a line plunge.Peterson added 5 yards more, for thefirst down. Donahue made a 12 yardrun around right end, only to lose theball on a fumble.

B. U. worked the ball down thefield for a first down. On the 'nextIplay, Crosby broke through the B. U.man to nail the half back in histracks. Smith punted to Logan. Onan exchange of punts, the Terriers hadthe ball on the Institute's 45 yard line.Smith made 6 yards throug-h a hole inright guard at the half ended.

Walsh kicked off to Tutten to

on the Engineers 30 yard line. Parkercould gain X, mere yard and Smith wasforced to punlt, Donahue receiving theball. Walsh made 4 yards throughcenter which was followed by a longforward, Walsh to Donahue which wasgood for 20 yards. Walsh ripped off 3through right tackle, a forward byW alsh was grounded. The ball wasnow in the shadow of the Terrier goa!posts but B. U. was given the ball asthe result of an Engineer fumble. Heldby the Engineer forward flank, Smithwas obliged to punt. He got off anice one for 44 yards which was fum-bled, Miller falling on the ball. By aseries of off tackle plays the Terriersmade first down only to lose it by afumble. The pigskin is now on the-Engineer's one yard line with Techin possession of the ball. Walsh punt-ed out of danger the ball going to theEnginener's 35 yard line. sBy an ex-change of punts, the oval was on themiddle of the field with Tech in pos-session of the ball. By a series offormward passes, the Engineers ad-

(-Contiinued on Page 4)

Lowvell's powerful rugged eleven.never really recovered from the ef-fects of the Engineers ruthless on-slaught in the first half before whichthe Lowell forces bent and finallybroke. The Engineer aggregation wastruly a fighting machine. It is almostnest to impossible to select an indi-Ividual star as the team played soevenly.

Soph Offense StartsLowell won the flip of the coin and

chose to defend the north goal. Lubykicked off to Walker on the 20 yardline who advanced the ball 8 yards.Unable to make downs on line bucks,Corbett booted to Sealy who fumbled,Coffey recovering. Again the Engi-neer line was as impregnable as themighty Gilbralter and Corbett againbooted to Sealy who was downed inhis tracks. At this stage of the gamethe Sophomore offense began to func-tion.

Parks went through center for 4yards. Sealy skirted left end for 3more. Parks then made 3 on a buckthrough left tackle foar first down. Un-able to gain as the result of a fumble,Proctor was forced to punt gettingoff a pretty 45 yard boot to the Lowell25 yard mark. An exchange of puntsleft the oval in the middle of the field.Unable to progress Corbett punted tothe Engineers' 30 yard line whereWalker attempted to drop kick thegoal but failed. The Sophs weregiven the ball on their own 20 yardline and the offense started things go-ing anew. Parks broke through right

guard for 2 yards. Gray dashedthrough left tackle for 8 and a firstdowrl. Parks shot through center for5. Proctor followed with two more.Parks added 3 for another first down.

On the next play Parks carried theoval through center and by cleverbroken field running carried the ball135 yards to the Lowell 20 yard mark.Gray failed to drop kick the goal andLowell was given the ball. Unableto get ahead, Corbett was forced topunt, Gray receiving. Sealy make 2through tackle. 'Brosen blocked a pass.A forward pass, Sealy to Gray nego-tiated 10 yards. Unable to gain, Proc-tor got off a nice 48 yard punt. Cor-bett caught the punt but fumbled asWilson tackled him. As quick as aflash, Wilson arose, and scooped up theball and dashed a few yards over thefinal chalk mark for the only score ofthe game.

Second Half ScorelessLuby kicked off to Frederickson,

who ran the ball back to the 32 yardmark. The Engineers held for downsand Corbett punted to Gray. Parkswent ahead 6 yards on a buck throughtackle and Riley went around rightend for 6 and first down. Sealy threwa pass but it was intercepted by Mor-rill. Parks then repeated the trickby intercepting one of Corbett's pass-es as the half came to a close.

In the second half, both teamsfought hard. On the kickoff Corbettpunted to Sealy. The Enginleers thenmade two fir'st downs only to lose thepigskin by a fumble. In this half, theplaying shifted largely to the passinggame was proved a success for bothfactions. Parks, Sealy and Gray madelong runs, which brought the ball inthe shadowv of the Lowell goalposts.For Lowell, the Corbett-Walker com-binationl was successful in the forwardpass, no less than 65 yards being madein this manner. For the Sophs, theentire backfield worked to perfectionwhile on the line Metcalf, Mock andLuby wvere a bulwark of strength onthe defense time and time again break-ing through the opposing line to nailtheir mall in his tracks.

What a team those Sophs have got.After losing a close game to St. Jamesat Haverhill, they came back and de-feated Allen Military Academy 9-3 andSaturday when stacked up against themuch heavier Lowell Textile team.they came out on the long end of a6-0 score.

To es en hold Lowell Textile to alow score would be a big feather inthe Sophomore's cap, but to defeatthem when they are using their firststring players, predicts a sorry dayfor the frosh next Friday. In thegame Saturday the Lowellites hadonly 2 first downs to their credit for-the entire game while the Sophs gar-nered nine of the coveted 1st downtens.

B3oth the Soph and freshman coach-es will put their charges through astrenuous week of practice, drillingfor the game on Friday afternoon.

SOPHS AND FROSHHOLD FIRST TIME

TRIALS IN RELAY|Freshmen Have Edge on Sec-

ond Year Men Both inTime and Numbers

FINAL TRIALS TUESDAY

10 Sophs and 16 freshmen reportedS~aturday afternoon at the first timetrials held this year for t~he Field DayRelay teams. B oth squads madefairly fast times, abut tlhe fres~hmenhad the edge on their older brothersin the number of men reporting andalso in the times. At the first of theyear when candidates were signingup for the teams, the Sophs had adecided advantage over the plebes,but for the last week or two the !Soph--omore spirit thas waned until thecoaches are predicting a -freshmanvictory unless more second year menreport.

It 's not due to lack of materialthat the Sophomore team is so de-c'ient in the number of men, butprobably because they figure that theyhave the race cinched and are livingon their past laurals. The coachesare decidely dubious akbout thne Soph'schances, chiefly because of this at-titude.

Last Trials TomorrowIn the time-trials Saturday Shead,

B[ass, Meagher, Meggie and Jonesnegotiated the 220 in the best timefor the Sophomores and Earle, Ber-mlan, Hayes, Speller, Barrington, C.B. Smith Packad and Danners chalk-ed up the fastest time for the year-linlgs.

It is still not too late for any manto try out for the team and CoachHedlund will be at the track houseany afternoon after 3 P. M. to coachcandidates. The last time trials forthe teams will be held tomorrow after-noon between 3 P. M. and 5 P. M.This is absolutely the last opportu-nity that any man will have to qualifyfor the team so the track managementdesires that every mall show up forthe final test.

BEAVER SOCCERITESLOSE TO DARTMOUTH

Big Green Team Runs RloughShod Over Engineers 10-1

Outplaying t~he Engineer team fromwh~ilstle to whistle, the Dartmouth

soccer team ran roughshod over amuddy field, scoring ten times to theEngineers, once. Flynn, goalie forthe Institute forces wvas subjected toa continual barrage of Green kicks,and was able to stop the Green teamfrom scoring on many other occas-sions.

Marx, Woodbridge, and Zangerran wild for Dartmouth, scoring all oftheir teams points between tlhem.Marxalone, accounted for four of his teamspodnts. Moe was the only Engineerforward that auas able to get closeenough to the Dartmouth goalie topush t~he ball through. Ca~ptainArana played a fine game on the de-fense for the Engineers, but he wasnot ajble to stoop the heavy forwardsin tlhe Dartmouth lineup.

The big Green team outweighed theInstitute knickers man for man andthe Beavers were never able to copewith the more experienced andweightier eleven. They played a de-fense game from the opening Whistleand limited their efforts to keepingthe score as low as possible.

|HEMP PULLERS HAVEIMUCH WORK IN STORE

Timne trials were held yesterday forthe Sophomore and freshman relaysquads. Only 10 Sophs showed upfor the test while the freshmen had16. Some of the men turned in timearound 23 and 24 seconds. Today onTech Field the final chance for themen to be timed will be given be-tween 3 and 5 o'clock. All men shouldshow up as soon after 3 as possiblein order that the Field Day Team maybe chosen and given special work-outs during the week.

Both tug-of-war teams have moremen out as the time is drawing near.The two classes may be seen everynight after 5 o'clock at Tech Fieldpulling on the rope. This event is ahard one to give advance dope on asone is never sure until after the bat-tle which side has the better team. Itis principally a matter of weight al-though a team needs practice pullingtogether in order to accomplish re-sults.

Due to the fact that the Sophs havebeen turning out in larger numbersthan the frosh and have had a betterstart they are now a slight favorite.
