Chmielewski Returns and StarsIn News Eleven's Victory;Brittenham's Line Work AidsIn Stopping Walker Offense

Holding back the Walloping WalkerNTaiters twice within their own tenyard line and scoring themselves ona long pass, THE TECII eleven aveng-ed last week's defeat and crashedthrough against the Walkerites by ascore of 7 to 0. Chmielewski, fully re-covered from his ankle injury receis-ed in the Voo Doo contest, directedTHE TECH team and wvas the star inthe offense. Treat, playing tackle onthe newspaper eleven, recovered afumbled punt in the second period andpaved the way for Chmielewski's longpass to Webb who outdistanced every-body to score the only points of thegame. Webb rushed the point aftertouchdown to give the writers' elevenits 7 to 0 victory.

Lincoln and Brosnahan were againthe stars of the Walker eleven butthey met a much stiffer defense thanin the previous week when they ranup a score of 19 to 0. Brittenham wasI

the outstanding player on THE TECHline and it was mainly his work whichbolstered up the newsmen's defenseand stopped the offensive play of Lin-coln and Brosnahan.

The victory last Sunday gives THETECH team one victory, one tie, andone defeat in the gamedate. Next Sunday a teaof Theta Chi men is exthe next victim of theeleven.

PERPETUAL MOTIONPATENTS GRANTED

British Government, Says Re-view, Accepts Applications;

Pockets Money

On every application for a patent on

a perpetual motion machine the Brit-ish government grants the patent and

pockets the fee, basing its act on the

assumption that such inventors arecrazy, and it might as well have themoney.

So writes John E. Burchrad, 2d, inthe Technology Review for December.The efficient and courteous U. S., onthe other hand, writes back offeringto return the fee if the inventorwishes. If he does not, his applicationis immediately refused because of thelaw of the conservation of energy,which was not one passed by Congressto get us out of the present depres-sion.

Genius GCes WestMore particularly Mr. Burchard says

that today there is at least as much"Yankee" inventive genius in theWest as in New England itself. Care-fully and accurately he analyzes sta-tistics on patent grants in the conti-nental United States.

The "Quidnuncs", in their columnBending Moments, describe how, withtwo common dry cells, an automobilecan be made to start easily in coldweather. It sounds very practical, likea page from Popular Mechanics.

We never get tired of telling youhow attractive are the pictures in theReviezu. This month it has outdone it-self with page on page of photos thatfall well within the realm of art.

Hunter Rouse, long a writer for theReview, contributes to this issue ashort resume of 8'02, called "VrhirlingEnemies of Motion", all about streamline flow.

Now at last the government has awarded acontract to this stiff-necked company whichoffered better wages and hours than eitherSNMA or the unions demanded. The InteriorDepartment will buy a Ford truck on conditionthat the local dealer sign a compliance certifi-cate, although the manufacturer himself stillrefuses. Of course, the purchase can still beruled illegal, but this is unlikely.

This is backing down on regimentation, thethought that so thoroughly aroused businessuncertainty.

A "NOBLE" EXAMPLE

LONG CRACKS THE WHIP

ACCORDING to AP dispatches the entireA1 staff of the "Reveille", the student pub-lication at Louisiana State University, has re-signed after the president of the college toldthe editors that they would have to submit tofaculty "censorship". As might be suspected,the trouble started by the publication of copydisparaging to Senator Huey Long, althoughit is hard to see how any copy could be unfairto the Honorable Senator, if half the reportsabout him are correct.

That there was little doubt as to the origin-ator of the order can be gained from the phras-ing of the headlines which said, "L.S.U. Stu-dents Suspended In Furore Over Huey's Cen-sorship of Paper." (Italics by the editor.)

One has a certain respect for Senator Longif only for his political ability and his brassnerve, but for the president, Dr. James M.Smith, who, on the evidence, has submitted toorders from above, one can have only con-tempt.

Later, twenty-six students were suspendedby this noble leader of youth for "gross dis-respect" in petitioning reinstatement of thepaper's staff.

Disregarding the moral right of a universityhead to suppress free speech, the incident in-dicates not only a corrupt government inLouisiana but a weak, subservient and inex-cusable attitude on the part-of the administra-tion and faculty of the state university. Hereat least should some respect for truth and lib-erty remain.

RED INK

TECH CIRCUS

NE of the few occasions when the student0J body is permitted to exercise its judg-ment in matters politic will occur tomorrowwhen the referendum on the Tech Circus willbe held.

Although the students may, if they wish,cast their vote according to how much alcoholthey expect to consume, they may also con-sider what problems will fall on the manage-ment, the Committee, and the Institute if aCircus is held. Of the points brought out bythe Institute Committee's statement, which,incidently, traded dignity for force in itsphrasing, the major one was that of finance.

If the Committee formally adopts this un-welcome brat, and no admission charge ismade, student tax money would not be avail-able for the expected loss.

Admission charges were the largest singlesource of income at the last Circus and evenwith this advantage a profit of some odd centswas made. As is well within its power, and asit has done with many other activities, the In-stitute Committee will, in the event that itmust sponsor a Circus to which admission ischarged, insist on a bond from the manage-ment so that it will be protected against lossand so that it can insure responsible guidance.

Since this bond will probably be of the orderof $.500, and since a large deficit; seems as in-escapable as final exams, it appears reasonablecertain that there will be no Tech Circus.

EMPIRICISM

CHANGING THE NEW DEAL MIND

NE of tle features of President Roose-0 velt's administration that goes far to in-sure us that no blind or foolhardy steps willbe talken, is that willinfness to admit error.Any extreme measure that meets strong op-position is sure to be reconsidered carefullyand modified if opposition is soundly based.Plecog-izing the danger of too rigld principlesin a changing world, the government hasadopted tie safer methods of empiricism.

An outstanding example of such r econsider-ation comes to light in the government's deal-ings wiith the Ford Motor Co. When the com-pany refused to open its books to its competi-Ltrs in order to be eligible for a Blue Eagle,General Johnson threatened to "crack down."H-e said that the government would boycott1_ ord products. More than that, he wanted thenationi to lrefuse For d cars.

In spite of the unfavorable publicity, theFord Company increased its sales until a pro-duction schedule of a million cars has been an-nounced for next year. And this while Secre-tary Perkins has been going around trying toget the other manufacturers to prevent hard-ship to their employees by operating on a ra-'tional schedule instead of by alternate periodsof rush and idleness.

In the preliminary, the two fresh-men teams of each respective collegewill also play. The M.I.T. frosh teamseems exceptionally strong this yearand a fine season is predicted forthem.

Dick Smith's return to the basketball squad yesterday materially im-proved Coach McCarthy's team's chances for victory in the game withHarvard next Saturday, McCarthy had been using Smith at center up to thetime Dick twisted his ankle two weeks ago.

McCarthy had Referee "Smoky" Kelleher over at the Hangar lastnight to blow the whistle in the scrimmage. "Smoky" is one of the bestreferees in this section and he called fouls closely in scrimmage, the firsttime that Ras been done this year.

Wolcott pulled a big surprise in the Dorm Basketball Leaguelast night when its team trounced Munroe, the pre-season favoriteto cop the title. With the Munroe passing game away off form andWolcottfs attack clicking well in the first half, the underdogs wereon the long end of a 26-15 count when the <al whstie sounded.The victory partially avenged the win that Munroe had eked outover Walcott in the finals of the Dorm Indoor Baseball Championshipa few weeks ago.

Technology's Varsity hoopmen willstart the season with a game againstHarvard on Saturday night in theHangar Gym. This game and thealumni game were the only ones thatthey -won last year. The year before,however, the team had a very suc-cessful season winning all their gamesexcept for those with Harvard andClarkson Tech. It is hoped that in spiteof the loss of Thornton as forward andKennedy as guard, the team will beable to repeat its success of two sea-sons ago.

The men have been practising zeal-ously every night for the past fewweeks. ALso Dick Smith returned tohis berth as center last night after anabsence of two weeks due to asprained ankle. The boys are doingtheir best to get into shape, and theyseem to be responding to the wordsof wisdom that Coach McCarthyspreads here and there.

Physical Training will begin to pre-pare immediately for the so-calledTrack P. T. Competition, which is asystem of winter track competitionoriginated by Coach Oscar Hedlund.The idea has been used with greatsuccess ever since its introduction inthe winter of 1928.

Normally, at least 75% of the froshout for track have never had any pre-

.vious experience, so Hedlund devisedcompetition in eight typical track

levents in order to find out each candi-dates' abilities. The student, afterpracticing, has six recorded trials inthe shot-put, broad-jump, high-jump,and three in the 50 yd dash, 60 yd.low hurdles, :1/4 mile run, Y2 mile run,and the milt: run. For his best trial ineach event he receives a certain num-ber of points, arranged on a slidingscale 100 points being received if theP. T. record is equalled, and corres-ponding points awarded for resultsless than the record.

At the conclusion of the trials in themiddle of March, each freshman'shighest seven events are totalled, andthe winner is given a gold medal sig-nifying that he was the best all aroundtrack Plan during the winter season.The second and third men are given|silver and bronze medals respectively.

The results of the system have beenmost gratifying. Each season studentsare found capable of doing thingswhich neither they nor their coachknew of. What is more, the studentshave some incentive for work duringthe long -winter months when thereare no meets held. Each year at leastone record has fallen, and the Classof '38 is anxious to show% Hedlund thatthey also have high ability in track.

The same nominationswill be used as for the contested elec-tion in an endeavor to hold the elec-tion under the same conditions thatexisted before the electioneering. Atthe last regular meeting of the Com-mittee, it was revealed that besidesthe circular sent around by the fra-ternities, both the dormitories and thecommuters had endeavored to formvoting blocks. The new election wasdecided upon as the proper remedy.

The Tech Circus question was pre-cipitated when the Institute Commit-tee voted at its meeting of Novemberl8, not to sanction or permit the hold-|ing of Tech Circus under the Institute[name. This in effect, outlawed the'Circus as an undergraduate activity.Many undergraduates, however, didnot agree with the opinion of theCommittee. As a result, a petitionsigned by over three hundred studentsand calling for a referendum was pre-

As a result thepersons running the Circus willhave to assume the financial lia-bility themselves and to furnishin advance adequate proof oftheir financial responsibility, pre-sumably in the form of a cashdeposit with the Bursar or the In-stitute Committee. Therefore itwould be impracticable to obtaina responsible group of undergrad-uates to manage the event.
