MONG the interesting:; s J.' '-athletic meetings of

the year must be no-

'1~. 87) ted the Indoor Classp 6Championships of lastSaturday. A largenumber of entries fromall years, especiallyfirom '95 and '96, was

il A wl ~ conducive to closeevents, and, on the

_._~ . * · whole, it may be said1s1•~ ~ that success was as-

sured from the start. The effects of goodtraining asserted themselves to such a degreethat four records were broken, three bymen who have held them hitherto. Thegames throughout were characterized bysnap, and no tedious waiting was allowed bythe officers of the meeting. One thing alonetended to detract from the entire success of

the occasion the poor general attendance onthe part of Technology men: double thenumber present would have been only arespectable showing.

HE game against Brown at Providencecompleted a season of football at Tech-

nology which, although not entirely a success,introduced elements which are very satis-factory and well deserving of imitation infuture years. It is certainly apropos to com-mend very heartily the spirit of co-operationin the majority of members of the 'Varsitysquad, the untiring efforts of Captain Thomas,and the excellent business methods of themanagement. Never before has the finan-cial standing of the Association been sostrong, considering the falling off of subscrip-tions among the general mass of Technologymen during the past two years. The estab-lishment of the training table and the coachwas indeed a long leap forward. With butfew exceptions, every afternoon during theseason found a full quota of men at solidtraining, and even at times under discourag-ing conditions.

Only two defeats with a score of over twotouchdowns-by West Point and Brown-weresuffered by the eleven, each away from Bos-ton, while every home game was an exhibi-tion of good football. As a general summaryof the season's work and of the fourteen gamesplayed, four were tied, with Exeter twice,Chicago Athletic Association and Bowdoin;five were defeats by Amherst (a questionablescore), West Point, Williams, Brown, B. A.A.; four were victories against Hyde Park,W. P. I., Trinity, and Brown, together withthe game at College Hill, wvhich was unfin-ished. In view of the several unfortunate

THUE TE;CH

circumstances attending a number of the earliergames, of which Technology men are wellaware, the record which we have here shownis in no wise discreditable. It only remainsfor still further enthusiasm in the future todevelop a standard which will be more nearlycomparable with the work which Technologymen have accomplished along other lines.

ygjE take great pleasure in announcing thesignal success of Technology's represen-

tatives, Messrs. Mann, Thorndike, andFaville, in the competition which was openedby the Sketch Club of New York last Sep-tember. The competitive design was entitled" An Opera House for a Rich Amateur in theSouth." Mr. Mann received the gold medalfor the best design; Mr. Thorndike, Ist firstmention; and Mr. Faville, 7th second. Inthat more than forty designs were submittedby students of other architectural schools, theawards show in a most conclusive manner thesuperiority of the Architectural Course ofTechnology over those of her rivals, and thatthe Course has been an excellent one fobrsome time is manifested by the fact thatMessrs. Pennell and Ripley, former students,also received mentions.

FTER considerable thought by the pro-{ fessors and students of the course, CourseIX. has organized itself into a general societyfor the improvement of its members. It isproposed to have evening meetings in al-ternate weeks, at which discussions of topicsof interest to the course will take place, withan occasional supper, and a visit to the collegesettlement as diversions. The governingbody will consist of a representative fromeach of the three upper classes and a memberof the Faculty. All Course IX. students ofthese three classes may become members bysigning the constitution. The organizationDegins with bright prospects, and as its needhas been long apparent, its success seemsassured.

( HILE under ordinary circumstances itwould be wholly out of place for THE

TECH to attempt in any way to dictate inregard to the apparel to be worn in the domainof Technology, nevertheless the appearanceduring the past week of numerous Freshmenclad in drill suits plentifully adorned with brassbuttons, and' at best only suitable for thearmory, warrants criticism. Were the merequestion of dress only to be considered, THE

TECH would manifestly have nothing to say;but so far removed from the aims of Tech-nology is the training of a military school,that anything which would tend to produce animpression of such a purpose must be decried.Moreover, it at once reduces the Freshmanclass to the level of the Boston High-schoolboy, whose highest ambition is to wear a bluemilitary cap and trousers with gold braid tomatch.

F late various unauthorized notices havebeen posted on the blackboards belonging

to the different organizations at Technology.Not only have regular notices been inten-tionally altered, but even entirely erased, andreplaced, sometimes by fictitious ones, andmore often by notices of quite another society.The former of these acts is puerile and utterlybeneath any student at the Institute, while thelatter is entirely needless as each organizationis supposed to own a board.

~N evil spirit, or perhaps it may be saida lack of spirit, seems to have crept in

among Ninety-six men. The enthusiasm ofthe first two years in every undertaking of the,class has to no inconsiderable degree died out,and the work of the many has been placed inthe hands of a few. The class meetings,always of importance, have been allowed todwindle in attendance, so that scarcely aquorum can now be obtained; very little workhas been done by men in the class, outside ofthe "Technique" Board, in the line of literary

118

r

THE, TECH

work for the annual, a state of affairs whichwill surely have its effect in tending to destroythe standard which other Boards have attained.Moreover, the apathy, which large numbers ofthe class have exhibited toward the attempt toobtain for the "Technique," by repeated trials,a class picture which shall be in every waymost satisfactory, merits severe censure. Thematter is of' importance, inasmuch as a poorphotograph necessitates a valueless reproduc-tion and a consequent detraction from theappearance of that portion of the annual.The interest which Ninety-five men evincedin the affair last year was commendable andcertainly worthy of being imitated.

THE TECH

The Indoor Athletic Meet.THE annual indoor class championship

games were held in the gymnasium, onExeter Street, last Saturday, and were adecided success. The crowd present, thoughnot large, was enthusiastic, and a good dealof class rivalry was displayed.

The Juniors carried the day with points tospare, scoring 42 out of a possible 80.Ninety-six was particularly fortunate in hav-ing A. H. Green, who established quite areputation during his course at Harvard, andwho won 23 points for the Juniors. He wasdefeated in but one event, the three standingjumps, and in this was a good second. Hisrecord of four firsts and a second is particu-larly remarkable, considering that he has notbeen in training for some time. Hurd andRockwell also contributed a great dealtoward the Juniors' victory, each winning afirst and breaking a record.

For the Seniors, Boeseke did the best work,scoring eleven points for his class, and break-ing the three standing jumps record by a footand a half. Thomas did some very prettyhurdling and was a close second to Ben Hurdin the 35-yard hurdles.

There is little to be said about the Sopho-mores. They lapsed into their usual semi-dormant condition, and with the exceptionof three men, showed little interest in themneet.

It was very encouraging to see the way '98took hold. Sargent was certainly a darkhorse in the dash, and he won in a verypretty race indeed, breaking the record. TheFreshmen were present in good numbers andshowed interest in every event, cheering theirmen and the '96 men as well. VWhen Sar-gent won the dash there was a great displayof enthusiasm, and the winner was carriedthe length of the gymnasium by members ofhis class.

Four records were broken, showing goodimprovement by our athletes. In the dashSargent lowered J. Dove's record by - sec.,

and in the hurdles Ben Hurd bettered his ownrecord by -5 sec. The most noticeable im-provement was in the potato race. In thisevent J. A. Rockwell not only improved hisown record by. I-4- sec., but in one of the trialheats and in the final heat the men finishedwell together, bringing almost all of themwithin last year's record. Boeseke broke hisown record of 3I feet 2 inches by a foot anda half.

The finals of both the dash and the hurdlerace were extremely close and well run. Inthe former it was impossible for one not closeto the finish to tell who had won, while in thelatter the fight for second place was especiallysharp.

There was less interest in the shot putting,fence vaulting, and pole vaulting than in theother events, owing to the lack of competition.A. H. Green had things quite his own way,and won easily.

The three standing jumps was an excitingstruggle between Boeseke and Green, theformer finally winning by jumping on theflooring instead of upon the matting. Thepotato race was, as usual, the most excitingevent of the meet. There were four trialheats, each of which was very close. Rock-well, Stevvins, Wise, and Powers were in thefinal, and finished in the order named.

After a few remarks bythe captain-elect, a vote of thanks to retiringCaptain Thomas, and a similar expression ofgratitude to Manager Tillinghast, the meetingadjourned.

The executive committee of the AthleticClub held a meeting last Thursday, and madethe final preparations for the class champion-ship meeting. A committee of three from theInstitute Committee reported on the cheerers,after which Messrs. A. D. Fuller, T. M.Lothrop, J. W. Thomas and C. F. Tilling-hast were elected from '95, and E. A.

-THE TRECH12

THOUGH the Lounger's days of competing for the"Technique" prizes are long past, he still views theirannouncement with keen interest and attention, and acareful perusal of the list reveals much that is suitablefor mental pabulum. It certainly is entertaining toobserve the relative value which the all-wise "Tech-nique" board places on the various aspects of geniusinherent in us all, although discouraging to remark thescant attention bestowed on the divine arts of Eratoand Euterpe. The grind fiend fares better, and lib-eral pecuniary reward awaits his efforts. But it is theingenious man who, by specious arguLments andhoneyed words, beguiles the simple tradesman intotaking an ad., who is valued above all others. He itis who is the saint of saints, adored of adored. Onthis basis the Lounger has been able to draw up thefollowing instructive little table, which comprehensivelyshows the relative value of our god-given qualities,and which he submits for a candid perusal:

Collection of ads.-- 2.- X collection of grinds.Collection of grinds - 2 X Best Poem.Best poem best piece of music $5

Advances in the inventor's art have ever beenregarded by the Lounger with lively interest. It isnow a certain weird combination of gears and levers,wheels and paddles contained in the confines of theelectrical laboratory that claims his attention. Manysurmises, some wild, and some brushing perilously nearthe truth, have stirred the calm and scientific air ofthese hallowed apartments; but strict and awful secrecyhas surrounded all with a veil of mystery which none,save only the perpetrator and his minions may penetrate.

Dame Rumor has, however, been somewhat persis-tent in her vagarious musings, and has urged thatMynheer, the electrical expert, has been devisingnothing less than a new and inevitably successful fly-ing machine. This is mere hazard, but the Loungerhas learned from more authoritative sources that it

contains more than a moiety of truth. Close barreddoors, darkened windows, and whispered consulta-tions betokened recently that a decisive trial was tobe made. All was ready. The Keely motor hadbegun to give signs of activity. The inventor anda few choice spirits were on hand to witness theconsummation of months of unremitting toil. Allstood with bated breath as the hero stepped forwardto set into action the hidden forces which were tocause the fabric to sail gracefully upward on thepulsing air -pulsing air is, the Lounger believes, thecorrect expression-but, alas ! their breaths are stillbated, for not an inch did the instrument move.

The crushed inventor's mind is still more buoyantthan his machine, however, and the Lounger hopesthat time will see the efforts of this disciple of DariusGreen crowned with more success than rewarded theexertions of his illustrious predecessor.

More successful has been the launching of a neworganization upon the seas of Technology. TheLounger feels that he has been particularly happy inhis metaphor, for he refers to the recently formedYacht Club. It is with no great surprise that he viewsthe formation of such a club after the prevalence ofsuch nautical expressions as "three sheets in the wind"and "half seas over," which have been suspiciouslypopular of late. It has been a sad fact that manyuseful and ornamental organizations of Technologyhave had but a fleeting existence after the first excite-ment of their founding has waned. Even the Lounger'sparticular proteg6, the Deutscher Verein, seems tohave fallen into a decidedly sleepy condition of late,from which the production of its plays will, theLounger hopes, awaken it. But the Lounger truststhat no harsh fate of premature decay will overtakethis latest addition. Certainly the many brimmingbumpers that have been drunk to its success ought tohave some effect.

The sight of the M. I. T. C. Y. C. burgee, and theunalloyed satisfaction of a pseudo-legitimate excusefor the yachting cap habit, should surely prove par-ticular attractions to our dry-land yachtsmen; andwhat with the undoubted popularity of the project thenew Corinthian should have a gilded career. Takingit altogether, the Lounger has worked himself intoquite a nautical mood; and with a wise caution againstfalling into the lee scuppers, or running close hauledwith the main sheet off free, he consents to dropanchor and leave the rest to the lazy-jacks.

But when the goddess sits and sings,Forgiven is the wrong;

Forgetting leader, hoine, and friends,They listen to her song.

The picture hangs above your chair;Some likeness teases me,

And once in hasty mood I said,"You're just as fair as she."
