Hubbard to Show Frozen WondersMotion Pictures in Assenra-

bly January 25 Reveal the Adventures of Icy North

Battling uuin’s enemy, Ice, by land and air will be experienced by Drexel students in an assembly on January 25, m 7 . Keverend Bernard R. Hub­bard, S. J., in person will tell his new story of Alaskan atlventures in mo­tion j)ictures, showing actual experi­ences of one of iiis expeditions.

The frozen wonders of the age will 1)0 revealed on the screen in the as- Hombly. Scenes beneath crashing ice walls of towering glaciers have been caught by Father Hubbard’s camera, and the spectacular “birth of ice- bergs” will also be shown.

The Hubi)!ir(l expedition went up tiio Taku Uiver in a steel boat to con­quer the swirling torrents of rocks and ice that once had shattered their wooden boats. On top of the Great Taku Ice Cap he fonnd the “Spirit’s H o u h s ” of native legend, “ Where no mortal can go and come back alive.”

The entire Journey was a nightmare of ice- merciless to the explorer. Kilins, thousands of feet long, will dis­close the outstanding thrills, l>eauty and human interest of the icy north. The expedition ascended fantastic ice pinnacles and descended yawning ice crevases liundreds of feet deep. ,

Year Book Progressing, Says C. W. Elston, Editor

According to Charles W. Klston, K’ditor of the “Lexerd”, work is ])ro- gressing raj)idly on the year book. At present, the individual pictures of the soiiors are being taken. This is a most important activity and all sen- iftrs wlio have received apiiointinent blanks are a?ked to return them as soon as ]>ossible.

On Wednesday, November 11, the group pictures of the underclassmen were taken, thus insuring complete and detailed information. Mr. Elston states that a large turnout was photo­graphed.

Unlike other years, the various or­ganizations will turn in reports to the “ liOxerd.” Si)ecial staff members will then compose the descriptions concern­ing each organization.

Lead DiscussionGroups and Inspection Trips; Seniors May W in Prizes

The American Institute of Mechan­ical Engineers at Drexel rnstitute has been organized and will again carry on its activities of ]>revious years. As before, the society purposes to give tlu> student engineer an opixtrtunity to ac(|uaint himself with men and nietho(is in the engineering field and to bring together mechanical engineer­ing students in order to discuss engi­neering work with men in school and in industrial fields.

The society has formerly carried on many activities suclf as monthly meet­ings, fre(pient inspection trips, and attendance at sectional and national conventions of the American Society of ^lechanical Engineers. At the la t­ter meetings, student representatives of numerous engineering schools gather to discuss their mutual prob­lems. In the future, the Society in­tends to continue the above roster of activities. Already, this term, the A. S. M. E. has sponsored several in­spection trii)s for senior class mem­bers, and will proceed further Avith tri])s for the entire membership as soon as a convenient time can be ar ­ranged. A combined meeting with the l^niversity of Pennsylvania A. S. M. E. is also on the tentative program of activities. The organization has also planned to send a delegation to the National Convc'ntion and Power Show to be hold in New York in De­cember. The society again [)roposes to give additional cooi>eration during Drexel’s Annual Open House to be held early in January. On January 7, 1!);17, a speaker fvom the Bethlehem Steel Comjiany will lecture on steel [)roduction before a combined meeting of the Chemical Engineering Society

JOE RHILE

The iron man center is out for tomorrow’s game. Joe Hhile, veteran p iw t man of the Dragons for the ])ast four years, was kicked in the back by one of the Blue Hons at Newark, last Satuiday. .Toe, who was playing a great game offensive­ly and defensively, was filling up a. hole in the center of the line when Dillon, the Blue Hen ccnter, accidentally kicked him. He stayed in the game for the next few plays, witli only his undaunted will kee])ing him go­ing. Finally, Coach Ilalas not­iced the limping and sent in Bill Harwick.

Joe has been waiting for the coming Swarthmore game all season and, like any senior grid star, liates to miss the last game of a brilliant career. But since Jo(> will definitely be out, due to a cracked vertebra, let’s all give him a. big hand and a loud cheer. He des»>rv(>s ]ilenty!

A. I. Ch. E. Convention In Baltimore a Success

Dr- Kirkpatrick Speaks on Chemical Industry as Stratton and Ward Attend Senior Meeting

The A. 1. Ch. E. convention held at Baltimore last Aveek was a marked success, according to the students Avho attended from Drexel.

With the Hotel Kennert as head- (juarters, ])lant tri])s were made to chemical works where the intricate apparatus and modern manufacturing methods were explained, and the fin­ished product traced from its raw material.

Dr. Brown, faculty advisor of the Drexel chapter, accompanied by Byron Thomi)son, president, and Dave Byrnes, senior chem. engineer, also heard the technical talks by various menibei's of chemical engineering cor­porations. Dr. Kirkpatrick gave an especially interesting talk, claiming in it that the chemical industry had a 98% recovery and w'ould establish a new mark this year.

The jioint stressed by several of the speakers was the fact that the big field right now is in salesmanship rather than in the laboratory.

Dr. Stratton and Dr. Ward attended the senior meeting of the convention.

By LEW MERRIFIELD

As the Presidential Commission on (\insumer Cooperatives returns from Europe where it has been doing some intensive investigation, interest nat ­urally centers on what type report it will present to the President. Those advocates of the principle of coopera­tive buying are, of course, hoping for a favorable report, while the mer­chants and manufacturers who fear the establishnuMit of this principle are praying for an announcement that will dami)en the ardor of consumer co­ops in America.

But what is a consumer co-op? Briefly, it is a retail store owned by the customers patronizing it, oiierated under their direction, with all profits shared ecjually among the customer- owniTs. Tlu» volume* of business transacted by them today is very small, at least in this country, but the argument between its defenders anil oppressors is (pate heated. Those who si'ek to build up the idea claim that it is a magnificent cause, a sub­stitute for socialism, ami a great re­form for the future. The manufac- turi'rs retort bitterly to these argu­ments as the spectre of overwhelming cojiipet it ion seems to leer in their faces.

The idea of the I'residential Com­mission to investigate the condition of consumer co-ops in Europe started with I'resident Hoosevelt. lie, along with other members of the Braiji Trust, became interested in the move­ment and a plan was instigated to sponsor the organization of a govern­ment agency to aid the consumer cu- op in America. First, however, live men and a woman were sent to nine

European countries for ten weeks on the President’s “Iqnuiry on Coopera­tive Enterprise in Europe.” The com­mission was comj)osed of Jacob Baker, former assistant administrator of the WPA in charge of “self-help cooperative” projects, Leland Olds, a member of the New York Power Authority, Charles Stuart, formerly connected with the Export-lmport Bank, Clifford Gregory, scrappy editctr of the Prairie Farmer, Kobin Wood, Secretary of the Nation­al Cooperative Council, and Miss Em­ily Bates, an ardent consumer co- operator.

Till* commission visited nine coun­tries on its tour; Finland, Norway, Deiunark, Sweden, Switzerland, France, iCzechoslovakia, Grc-at Britain, and the Irish Free State. Since each country was visited less than a week on the average it is (luestionable Just how conclusive the report will be, but it is nevertheless awaited with ntuch interest.

.\nd what are the facts as discover­ed by this comniissionf Well, they discovered that consumer cooperatives in l']ui*ope are practically chain stores. They s|)end much money for advertis­ing and arrange their stores to attract attention, and thus more customers. Just as evident was the fact that these st(U't‘s do about 1")% of the retail business; that competitioa by them is practiced Just as keenly as in Amer­ica; that the co-op stores are attacked Just as bitterly there as the chain stores here; and that cooperation is a success nuiinly because tlie countries are small and the temperament of the

Drexerd Fraternity Issue Out At End of Month

Fred Cramer, editor-inchief of the “Drexerd”, has announced that the Fraternity number of the magazine will be issued on Mondav, November 30.

The magazines will be distributed in the court during the day, and stu­dents are recpiested to ]>resent their cards at the desk. All students who do not yet have cards will pre­sent tlieir matriculation cards at the desk to be clu'cked. Dr. Hanson, of the chemistry department, has writ­ten an interesting article on fraterni­ties, which will appear in this issue.

As this is the Fraternity number, a double i>age spread of fraternity and sorority i)residents will be presented along with a special Jiage showing the various fraternity insig)iias. This is­sue will display a new cover designed by Ed Hermann which is quite novel.

Glee Clubs Start Current Season

E. M. W elsh Leads Both Clubs to Greatest Success; Sponsor Court Dance, T w o Recitals

The Men’s and Women’s Glee Clubs started their membership drive W'ith a bang last Monday. The clubs pre­sented one of the most popular court dances that has been held in the Drexel Court. Music was supplied by the WPA dance orchestra and they were really quite good.

Gay decorations \vere in evidence about the court which helped to keep up the spirit of the affair. Of course no court dance would be complete without novelties so a spot dance and the ever popular Paul Jones were held. The spot dance Avas won by Bill Wild and one of the Moore twins, who obligingly did a solo for the bene­fit of the other dancers.

The club has not as yet done much because its season has Just begun. However, it did take a part in the recent Pi']) lially over station WIP, and sang at an affair in Upper Darby several weeks ago. Thg Glee Club also exjjects to lead the singing on Founder’s Day, w'hich will be cele­brated by the entire school early next mouth. Ijast Monday afternoon the Men’s (ilee Club Joined with the Wo­men’s Glee Club and sponsored a Court Dance.

Edgar ]\Iilton Welch, who has done such fine w'ork in organizing and di­recting the club, will again bo its leader for the current year. Under Mr. Welch’s leadership the Men’s Glee (.’lub has grown to be one of the most popular organizations at Drexel Insti­tute. The club has approximately twenty■fiv^ members at ])resent. Offi­cers have not been chosen, but w’ill be elected during the coming term in order that ujiper-classmen who are now in industry may have a chance to vote. Incidentally, many men from last year’s Glee Club w’ill return next term.

At the beginning of the present term over fifty freshmen who have had experiences reported to Mr. Welch to try out for the club. They w'ere notified of their ajiproval but nuiny of them failed to report for practice. Mr. Welch and the members will bo glad to welcome these newcomers and Wjjll ap|)reciato their supi>ort and co- operatioji in Joining. The Glee Club hold its reliearsals every Monday in the auditorium and on Wednesdays in the Drexel Art (ialiery. Mr. Welch also conducts a vocal class on Tues­days from four until five. Mr. Welch will welct)ine anyone who wishes to Join this class.

Mr. Welch lias announced final plans for the [)re-Christmas season. Oji December 2, in assemlily the combined clubs will give a rendition of CJhrist- ianses’s “Built on Ifock” and the solo­ist will be James Shalt>r. Oti Foun­der’s Day which is December S>, the girls will give “ Now fiet Every Tojigue Adore Thee,” by Bach. The combiiied clubs will give “Praise,” by How ley, and the men will render “A Carol for Every Man,” by Dykeina.

Dance to Be HeldWhitten Speaks At ASCE Meet

Discussion Follows Address; Representatives Invited to Visit W arner Plant

At the second meeting of the A. S. C. E. on Wednesday evening, Novem- ler 11, 193G, Mr. Herbert J. W'hitten,

Superintendent of the Philadelphia Ketail :\larine and Transportation De­partments of the Warner Company, addressed the group on the subject of “Central Mix Concretes.”

The discussion included a descrip tion of the plant, the process of manu­facturing, and the method of trans­portation. 31 r. Whitten presented his pajier in a rather novel manner; he did not go into details to any extent, but instead ])resented his paper in such a way that many questions were raised by those who attended. Over half the meeting was spent in answer­ing the many (juestions thus raised.

At the conclusion of his address, Mr. Whitten extended an invitation to the group to visit one of the four plants of his comjiany at some future date.

Attention was called to an article written by Mr. Ranald V. Giles of the Civil Engineering Department, in the November issue of “Civil Engineer­ing.” Mr. Giles’ article, which may be found on page 779, is entitled, “A Model of a Rapid Sand Filter at Drex­el Institute.”

The group was also extended an in­vitation to hear an address before the Philadelphia Section of the A. S. C. E. at the Engineers’ Club, 1317 Spruce Street, on the topic of the “San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge” on Wednesday evening, November 18, 193(), at 7.30 P. M.

At the close of the meeting, it was announced that the third meeting would probably be held during the first Aveek in December and the sub­ject would probably be related to the history and construction of the several spans crossing the Schuylkill River in Philadelphia. Having no further business, refreshments were served and the meeting adjourned at 10 P.M.

Newman Club Has Dance; Annual Call Draws Many

Intercollegiate Affair Held at Mitten Hall; Joan Martin to Be Drexel Delegate at Convention

Drexel was one of the ten colleges •epresented at Mitten Hall, Temple, when the Newman Club attended the Intercollegiate Biill last Saturday night.

The affair was tremendously suc­cessful and the turnout, which was much larger than hail been antici­pated, helped to liven up the occa­sion.

The Santa Nova orchestra, which is well-known throughout Philadelphia, played very well indeed and all who ittended were more than pleased with their novel orchestrations.

Hallowe’en night, the Jjodge was the scene of a gala party which w'as very well attended and at which everyone had a most enjoyable even­ing. Among the guests for that even­ing were; Dr. and Mrs. Obold, Mrs. Leonard, and Mrs. Greene.

The next meeting, which is to be social, will be held next Tuesday night. At this ineeting final arrange­ments will bo made to have all Cath­olic students attend the mass initia- tiiui and dance which is to be held on Saturday, December a, at the Philo- patrian Club at 20th and Walnut Sts.

The convention is to be held this year a t the Hitz-Carlton Hotel and the Arcadia International. Joan Martin is ollicial delegate from Drex­el, and the ciniiinittec* has decldetl on February 5, li, and 7 as the dates. This is usually the highlight of the social season; and supper dances, tea dances, and discussion groups have already been planned. There is usual­ly a large turnout at these functions and (hu coming conventiou promises to be better than ever before. ,

Stanford-U. of C. to Be Guests at Drexel Alumni

Stanford and ITniversity of Cali­fornia alumni will gather at Drexel at five o’clock, Saturday, the 21st, to receive direct wire reports on their Big Game of the year. On the occa­sion of the Stanford-T". C. game, alum­ni clubs throughout the country hold meetings in celebration of the victory or defeat, as the case may bo. In Philadeliiliia. n Joint meeting is held. The ]>arty this year is being spon­sored ])y the University of California gr(uip but held at Drexel on invita­tion of the president of tho Stanford Club, Harriet E. Worrell, Drexel’s alumni secretary. The Stanford sec­retary is the bride of Drexel’s alumni president, Edwin P.. Middleton, and is better known to Drexel students as Miss McCormick, until recently in charge of the A])pointment Oflice of the School of Business Administra­tion.

Commuters Hold Welcome Dinner

Commuters are Oscillators, Dean Disque Maintains; Mothers Honored Guests

Oscillators would be a more proper name than commuters, according to a statement made by Dean Disque at the dinner held last Friday night by the latter organization. For, in an en­gineering sense, according to the Dean, the commuters oscillate at a frequency of from ten to twelve hours, with an amplitude of one to twenty-five miles.

This dinner was held for the women commuters and their mothers in the Drexel Cafeteria. The guests, who were introduced after the dinner, were Dean Disque, Dean Dorsey, Dean Wag- enseller, and Dean Diehm. Dean Dor­sey welcomed the mothers and told them how she had been looking for­ward to an occasion like this for many y(‘ars and that she hopes the affair may be repeated. Dean Wagenseller and Dr. Diehm then welcomed the mothers in turn and everyone adjourn­ed to the auditorium to see the enter­tainment which had been prepared.

Wanda Calhoun gave a ])iano rendi­tion of “Manhattan Serenade” and an original composition. Mary Doughery, accompanied by Bob ^McMullen, sai!g “Shoe Shine Boy.” Eileen Kepner, as a little Dutch boy, did an amusing song and dance act. Wally Diehm and her stooge Ruth Sanders, stunned and mystified the audience with a few clever conjuring acts. Wally ate con­fett i and disengag<‘(l paper streamers, turned eggs to dust, jiroduced a kitten from a hat and after a high powered sales talk, found the kitten a home. Sally Johnson and her mother con­cluded the program with a beautiful \ ioliu duet. After the entertainment the mothers wen; taken on a tour of the building.

The lovely autumn flowers which decorated the cafeteria were the gifts of Eileen Kopner.

DEBATE BROADCAST

There is a ronianoe aliout wood; if you doubt my words, rend tlie book for yourself. Mr. Sherwood hasn't written this book from a tcchnieal standpoint, at ail, but from an intrrestinj; and v»'ry read­able jioint of view.

The first part of the book is piven over to stories of various woods, all of which arc domestic woods and used, with but few exceptions, for furni­ture. Kach chapter is a short story about a particular wood, beginning in the central United States and travel­ing; eastward around the world to the West Coast.

The second part of the book is most interesting. Here, little known physi­cal facts and anecdotes of wood and trees are given. The manufacture of veneer and j>ly wood, what they are used for, and different facts about them are all told. Did you know that the former is a special kind of wood? 1 always thought it was a finish like a varnish.

There are also many interesting photographs aceom])anying the ivories —of forests, logging, transportation conditions, and some uncommon fea­tures of difl'erent woods. Pictures of various trees and their timbers were purposely omitted since it looks noth- iny like the wood used in furniture for it has so many stains and un­natural finishes added to it. The U'chnical things are in the back of the book—there are none in the body of the text, for it is a romance and not a scientific treatise.

The Brass Clieck--a study of Amer­ican .lournalism, by I'jiton Sin­clair.

Th»> first half of this book is a per­sonal story—the life story of Sin­clair’s exjieriences with American .lournalism. This man is on the wit­ness stand in tlu‘ case of the Amer­ican I’ublic vs. .Journalism, therefore the facts are true. Did you ever think about our American .Journalism? Did you ever stop to realize that there was and is unju.stice in this institu­tion? Whatever you thoughi, or realized, you will find out mort* things in this book about a mass of material, names, places, dates,—all familiar to you—such as you cnnnot evade. What is our journalism doing to tlu* move­ment for industrial freedom and self- government all <iver the world?

In the second half of the book, if you feel so inclined to take Sinclair’s ideas with a grain of salt, scores of other witnesses take tlielr stands. 'I'hese people—tlu\v’r(‘ familiar to you, too,— wise and true jieople of our country, in every class, in every part, ill every field—tell you their experi­ences in this iiook of facts.

Xo one is sjtared in this book— shameful things are narrated. Hut these j)eople are not jieople, they are social forces—they are capitalists of American Journalism. Do you know what the Brass Check is and where it comes in, in this book? It is a condensation of the whole book. If you don’t know what it is, read the book and .]ust find out. I f you do know, read it anyway, for you might have the wrong definition.

A lm a M ate r along theoretiea tcround of ae tua l experience

and practical l ines from their back-

For you who love to read Brown­ing’s i)oetry and would like to know more about this man who is becoming so popular, read “The Reader’s Browning,” by Walter Graham. Brow'n- ing is the one poet of Victorian Eng­land whose influence is strongly felt today.

Three factors had a great influence over Browning’s poems. The first was the home in which he was brought up. His father had a splendid selected library where young Robert could learn a great deal of English writers. This library was one of the poet’s uni­versities. His mother Avas a talented w'oman and through her he came to have a love of music.

The second influence of Brow'uing’s life waa his love for travel—most especially in Italy. A great many of his ])oenis have the glory of Rome and Naples retlected in them. Even after he went back to England, he wrote much of that country where his heart belonged and where the happy mem­ories of his love remained.

And then, the greatest influence of his life— Elizabeth Barrett—his in- \a lid wife. This was one of the strang­est and happiest marriages ' ever re­corded in Kpite of several important factors standing in the way of the couple which they both overcame.

J*'or fifteen years, Brow’ning and his Vvife lived in Italy. Their lives from then on seemed like a story book ro­mance—a son, money left to theni, and such hosts of friends besides a constant, deei), abiding lovo for cach other. Browning’s poems revealed this happiness and love. He lived to see himself established as a foremost poet.

In this small book are all his w’oll- known poems such as “Pippa Passes”, “The Pied Piper of Hamelin”, “The Ring and the Book”, naid a host of others, short and long. Notes on the various poems are given at the back of the book to help the reader.

For you Homo Economists, there’s a new edition of “The liostou Cooking School Cook Book”, by Fannie Farmer. One of the tusks in revising the book has been to vary recipes which have been so conventional and standardized, i t is hoped that the users of the book will try theso new variations. Changes have been uuide to conform with mod­ern fashions iu food—for example, the chapter on canapes and hors d'ocuvres has been greatly lengthened —foreign and sectional specialties have been added—wine is much more widely used—and all because of the increasing popuhu-ity of cocktail parties.

When I was young and day dreamed much

My ideal I could seeHe’d be so tall, so handsome, strongAnd he’d take me to teaAnd on to dinner, too, perhapsAnd then a show and danceOh, pity me, my learned friendsI lived amid a trance!But now in twenty some odd yearsMy mind is changed a bitIf [ can find my Ideal manI ’m something of a witAnd then upon this rosy dreamA new idea I see—If I should find my Ideal Man Would he be v,-anting me?????

Dear Mom:Last week I told you I was trying

to get !i .job as a waiter in the Dorms; well Mom. I got the Job, but t only served one meal and then I quit. The financial and nervous strains wore 90 gre.'it that I found I couldn’t take if, !ind I di'cided that some rugged individualist who has more intestinal fortitude than I, eould have the job —free nu'als and all.

1 tlwinght that by taking tho job I'd be able to see more of Fatima, but I found out that the waiters arc only to speak to the Coeds when spok­en to, and to talk to the girls at any other tinu' comes under the head of extr:i service. This extra service busi­ness is a, funny thing, because tho only thing you get out of it is a vory self satitied smile from the girl, and a b.-iwling out from the headwaiter.

Well, to get back to the meal—the headwaiter announced that dinner was served and the girls came in and took their places at the tables. A gong was sounded which from my instruc­tions meant that grace was being sjiid, but I noticed that the waiters were flipping the butter on the but­ter plates, so I did likewise. I had a perfect score in this until I flipped a piece of butter in the pocket of Fatima’s dress. I told her I was sor­ry, and I felt very much relieved when she smiled. The gong was again sounded, and 1 joined the rest of the waiters in j». mad dash to the kitchen door, but they must have gypped a start because I ended up last in line. Somehow I managed to get and serve the correct number of entrees, and overythinjr went swell until I dashed back to the kitchen with a tray full of dirty dishes. Somehow or other,1 st.'irted in the wrong door, and what do I do but bumj) smack into another waiter carrying a tray of dishes. The crash of '29 had nothing on this one, and there I stood, spinach to tho left of me, broken dishes to the right of ine, and the head waiter in front

o f me bcllowinjr jjud thundering. He called me something that sounded like dummeresel, ;ind after I finish writing this letter, 1 am going to look the word uj» in the dictionary, and if it means what I think it means I am going to smack him in the noso the next time I see him.

I managc'd to serve the rest of the meal without any further complica­tions, excejit I did spill aonie water down Fatima’s neck. Every time I was near Fatima, she made mo j i t ­tery, and I guess leaning over her shoulder with a water i)itcher in my hand was the last straw, because the pitcher sli|»pcd, and instead of the water going in lier glass it went down her neck.

I «lidn’t enjoy my supper at all, and when the headwaiter told me I owed the school $6.00 for broken dishes, I really felt sick. Fatima won’t look or speak to me now, so I think I will take a couple <||' asj)irins and try to slec]» it off.

Your everloving son.Chesterfield.

P. S. 1 .saved enough money during the term, so I w’ill be able to get iiway from this madhouse, and I ’ll be home for the Thanksgiving holidays.

I

A cagny Drn^on Htnlkprt a Hurpris- ingly defiant Hlue lion for the bettor part of three periods l)efore inahinfj the kill in the game laHt .Saturday ;ifternoon. The xupi»oHeflly inferior Hen put u]> :i dogged resistance and at half time had plenty to cackle about. The margin at that point atood at (5-0 in favor of Delaware’s staiwarts, much to the diHgust of Coach Halas. How­ever, the Hecond half told a different talc. With (Juinn conducting a no- passenger tour into touchdown land, along with Bick Steven’s accurate boot, the 8urpri«ed Tech boys eked out a 7 to 6 victory over the Clarknien.

Tech opened festivities in a con­vincing manner, reeling off two first «lowna on the ground and acquiring another via the air before the lleTis could erect their stone wall defense, forcing the Dragons to hand over the ball on downs. After they got it, they promptly punted out to mid-field where Foxie ran it back into Dela­ware territory. Here the air attack <\-ent sour and Baker’s toss was inter- I'eptod by llobcrts, who brokenfielded somo 70 yards for the scort'. Ware’s placement failed.

Delaware’s ])a.jania ■ clad frosh promptly went nuid and it looked bad for the Tech lads.

The remainder of the half was un­fruitful as far as scoring was concern- »*d. I’ox’s zooming i)unts held the

* Hens at bay, although the eager Clark- men appeared to have the better of the plenty rough going.

Quinn ScoresTech pried o])en the third quarter

with a drive that penetrated the final stripe. Poxie, Quinn, and Baker as­saulted the buckling Delaware line, clicking merrily along to the lien’s 30. Here Quinn chucked a pass to Graf, good for a first down on the home club’s {). Quinn, behind perfect block­ing, then negotiated the remainder of the distance for the tying marker.

Onco again, Dragon hoj)es of victory rested on Bick Steven’s talented toe, and, as usual, the Drexel man of des­tiny came through with a perfect placement, putting the llalas men out in front.

The last period provided thrills a- plenty, as determined Delaware as­saults stalled just short of the pay­off stripe. The liens, emulating more fortunate birds, took to the air and, by a series of short passes and a long run on a fake kick, advanced as far us the Dragon 10. Here they lost the ball on dow’ns as Clint Smullen crash­ed into the Blue Bird backfield, wreck­ing the offensive beyond repair. Fox punted out of danger only to see Dela­ware come right back via the air lino route. This efl’ort reached high tide on Tech’s six as a 15 yard penalty for holding and a 4.") yard loss on an a t ­tempted pass averted the score. Drex-

\«'l W'as on the march striking goahvard as the referee awarded the ball to Captain Fitzgerald, ending the most exciting ball game in the history of the Drexel-Delaware seiies.

As usual, Clint Smullen, along with Bick Stevens, dominated the Dragon’s play. Clint’s vicious blocking and tackling did much to keep the harried Tech team in the game in that hectic fourth period. Stevie ])layed a re­markable defensive game and that

' placement meant victory for the sec­ond week in succession. Joe Khile received a back injury and will miss the final game of his career.

Basketball Year Planned; Class Managers Chosen

Basketball season is almost here and the Drexel co-eds are already taking it seriously. The two division system of basketball, which was used entirely l>y the co-eds last year, will bo in full swing again this year. According to tho new rules, the center throw-in style will be used instead of the center jump. In the two division style, three forwards and three guards are used. 'I'he one forward acts as a center at the beginning of the game and (juar- ters and after a basket has been made.

Class basketball games will be play­ed the first week in .January. Class practices will be hold before that time. Tho following have been appointed to form a twim for their rosjiective classes:

Margaret I'arkhill—freshman class Hope Morrison—sophomore class .(leorgetta Marlor—junior class Murgurot Walsh—senior class

' All girls desiring to play on Iheir class teams are asked to see these girls immediately. Twenty-five A. A. points are given to anyone playing on

,tiie class teams.' ' Marian .lackson, manager of basket­ball, has arranged games with the fol­lowing teams — Ilniversity of I'a., Rouumont, Ursinus, Mt. Ht. .loseph, lieaver, and the alumni.

Subtract these two eflPorts of S t e v i e ’s ta lented toe and a very fine season would revert to a mediocre one. Certainly three victories, three defeats and two ti(>s could not be called ou ts tand ­ing and that is what remains if the extra j)oint tries of the v e t ­eran end were ruled out of the I)iclure.

The remarkable thing about these accomplishments of the ’36 team is that this is the first Drexel club in the last 6 or 7 years that has been able to cash in on these extra points.

Harriers Halt Haverford As Weingarten Places 1st

The (’ross Country team brought its season to a close Avith a victory over the team from Haverford (’ollego on Thursday, November 12. The race was run on the Haverford College campus, and Tech’s runners considered it tho finest course they have covered this year. It is about four miles in length. At the beginning of the race tho Haverford team made ji s))londid showing, but after the half-way mark had been reached, condition began to tell, and Drexel forged ahead. The individujil winner was Lou Weingar- ten, who came across the finish line at least 100 yards ahead of Leil)old of the Haverford team. A1 Klein and Lee Layton followed Loibold to fin­ish in a dead heat. It was Layton’s last cross country race for the Blue and Gold. W'entz and Henryson were the other two men to garner j)oints for Drexel. The team score was; Drexel 20, Haverford 29.

Dave Curry, a product of Chester High, is the last member of the var­sity squad to be mentioned in our de- ))arting senior series. Dave is a ver­satile chap having occupied a regular berth both in the backfield and on the flank. Due to a lack of experienced ball toters the mentors found it neces­sary to pry open tho ’30 campaign with little Davie in tho fullback posi­tion. The loss of “Elsie” Conard, how­ever, necessitated placing the reliable Dave back on the flank where he has continued to turn in sterling perfor­mances over since. The elongated end plays a nice, consistent defensive game, but his strong suit is pluclcing for­wards out of tho ozone at crucial mo­ments. Maybe it is that 0 feet 3 inch height that aids him in the pass catch­ing art, but the really important idea is that he does catch them. Dave main­tains that all you have to do is to get to a spot whore the o))ijouonts aren’t and then catch the ball. That’s the right answer, but the trouble lies in getting to th(‘ aforementioned right spot.

Followers of Coach Leonard’s track outfit will remember that Davie has been selected as the coming track ca))- tain. His choice events are broatl- jumping, hurdling, and w’oight events. Naturally tli(» captain-elect wishes for a successful season, a wish that from all apparent signs should be granted.

Dave has earned his letter in bas­ket l)all, also, and thereby has made lumseU' one of the few three letter men in the school at the ])resent time. Nice going, St>nior. Happy Landings!

Yearlings Bump Bullet Plebes

Harvyjohnson Leads Mates to 14 to 2 Victory by Thrilling Dashes as Rep Coached Team Lands

Coach Ro|tscha’s yearlings saved some prestige for Drexel wlien they bunijjod tho Gettysburg frosh last Fri­day afternoon to the tune of 14-2. The victory was sweeter when we remem­ber that tho (i-Burg v.'irsity downed our big team in a most convincing fashion a few Saturdays back. Ac­cording to (’oach liop tho victory was a surprise as this year’s edition of the clubs have been slow to get under way, due to late classes and injuries.

Harry Johnson, a vest pocket edi­tion of Harry Fox, was the outstand­ing mole-skinner for the Tech team, thrilling the crowd w'ith several long and spectacular runs, Drexel received at tlie opening of the ball game and Johnson conveyed Bender’s boot back to his own 40, With Johnson and Wil­liams taking turns at cracking the G- Burg line the cubs marched right up to the Bulletts’ 2 yard stripe where “Wee Willie” Williams promptly buck­ed hard through right guard for the score, Brandt aerialed to DiJjarso for the extra point.

Johnson ScoresIn the second session the Cub block­

ers shook Johnson loose on an end run and the delighted youth promptly step­ped 20 yards for the second tally, Brandt ])assed to Johnson for the ex­tra point.

From this point on the cubs were content to rest on the defensive and keep their opponents from scoring. They had to stall one determined G- Burg offense on the 1 foot lino. The Bullets’ safety resulted from this stand as Brandt stepped beyond the end zone as he attempted to punt out of danger.

The defensive stars of the game were Brandt, Sacks, Teyssier, Snyder and Silbers, These lads ruined several determined G-Burg offensives,

DiLarso and Williams seconded the diminutive .Johnson’s efforts in the backfield and played bang-up games,

Engle, a substitute end, was injured in the fray. This lad played a bang- up game until a head injury forced him out,

Ursinus Defeats Dragonettes 3-0

VonKleeck Scores T w o for Ursinus to Set Back the ‘D ’ Girls for Second Loss; Play Alumni Tomorrow

Tlu' Dragonettes w-ere banded their second defeat of the year by the Ur­sinus girls on the hitter’s field, Nov. 12. At the final blow of the whistle the Drexel coeds w’ere trailing 3-0,

The game was really better than the score indicates. Both teams play­ed very hard and fast but Von Kleech, tho freshman center forward for Ursinus, was just too much for the Drexel girls. When she got loose, she tore for the goal and did her best to score. Captain Sally Hall played a very good game in holding Von Kleech to only two goals. Von Kleech scored in the first half and again in the second. Ada Young also scored one goal in tho first half for the Col- legeville girls.

Laura Meng, goalie, played a “bang- up” gamo for the defense. Her clear­ing was excellent and the three balls that went through the goal could not have been stopped by any goalie. Campbell and Coffman also played well for the losers.

Now that the footballers have al­most finished the w'ars wo feel that we can make a few offhand remarks without disturbing the morale of Coach Halas’ pet gladiators.

Bill Graf is said to know the answer to this one. . . .

To Captain AI Fitzgerald, Charley Foltz, and Clint Kmullon, tomorrow’s game marks the end of thoir athletic compptition for Drexel. Tomorrow will be, to them, tho real finale of their collegiate athletic careers.

Dave (nirry, Harry Fox, .loo Rhile, and Bick Stovens, although ending their playing days on the gridiron to­morrow, will not bid their final good­bye to Drexel athletics until next spring.

And right above appears a senior member of the gridiron squad whose role this season has been less promi­nent than that of others. On the rec­ords, Ross Tippin is a substitute quar­terback, but actually ho has been de­voting his time to assisting Al Ri>p- scha coach of the freshman eleven, and last Friday \vas rewarded when his yearlings trounced the Gettysburg youngsters, 14-2.

Tip is a popular member of his class, and scholastically rates among the first in the Business School. And he is up to his neck with (>xtra-cur- ricula doings; besides his activity in the Bourse, Varsity Club, and his par­ticipation in football :ind basoball; Tip at present is sports editor of the TRIANGLE. This article is being published without his knowledge, for at heart he is a shy, good-natured, modest American and would naturally balk a t such publicity.

t h e t r a c k t e a m .(»i‘tting back to tomorrow’s gamo

with Swjirthmoro, the Dragons play host to a team that has been only inod('r:itoly successful this soaflOtl, Coach Macintosh, tho new head men­tor of tlM> liittlo (Quakers, has been faced with tho task of installing his own system this year, and it usually requires some time for the boys to be­come accustomed to any such* change.

Losing four out of six so far thin V(*ar, tho Garnet has, however, uncov­ered throe freshmen who have been outstjinding thus far and have helped to brighten an otherwise drab season. In “ Buz/," Eberle, shifty running back, Sacks, the center, and McCone, guard, (’oach Maclntosli has tho nucleus ■iround which he can build a potential­ly powerful team.

Form players would unhesitatingly pick the Dragons in tomorrow’s battle but, as any coach will admit, heavy favorites frequently encounter trouble when it is least expected. On, past performances, Drexel should win han­dily if . . . that old bugaboo “over­confidence” doesn’t decide to drop in on the bovs tomorrow.

General Tracy, world-renowned pian­ist, has accepted an invitation to pre­sent a recital at Drexel. The recital will be'given in the Picture Gallery, Friday, December 4, at four o’clock. This is another in a series of recitals to give students a finer appreciation of the musical arts. Edgar Milton Welch, Musical Director at Drexel Institute, was instrumental in persuad­ing Mr. Tracy to give a performance here.

Gerald Tracy is a native of Denver, Colorado. He made his New York debut at Town Hall in March of 1933, with considerable success, winning the enthusiastic approval of a very large audience. He started serious prepara­tion for a career in Halt Lake City, and then came to Philadelphia for a season a t the Curtis Institute of Mu­sic. Later, he \\’’on a scholarship in New York.

He has appeared as soloist with or­chestra and has been a frequent re­citalist in various cities. This past season, he played the inaugural con­cert a t the new Museum of Arts and Sciences in Norfolk, Virginia.

Edgar Welch has been striving for several seasons to create more inter­est in cultural music, and has been fulfilling a desire of bringing tho lead­ing exponents of choral, instrumental, and concert music to the students of Drexel.

Pre-Junior Class Holds Pocket-Budget Dance

The Pre-Junior Class held its fall party at Drexel Lodge on Saturday, November 14. About 30 couples a t ­tended the dance, the first of a series of “experimental” dances run on small budgets as suggested by the Students’ Council. Music for the affair was furnished by the lodge’s radio.

The party, which was free to all pre-juniors, served as an informal get-together where everyone could see his classmates in a suit rather than in a pair of overalls. Dancing was not the only feature of the evening us games of interest to all were play­ed. Refreshments consisting of cider and doughnuts were served.

Chaperones for the party were Dr. and Mrs. Francis W. Brown, and Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Leonard. Charles Dill, J. C. Reid, J. Esher and W. Cozzens, class ollicers, also attended.

people is ideally suited to it. iSo too, the coops in Hurope are run v»*ry c'f- ficiently by cai)able management which is comjiarable with the quality of management in American business.

As far as consumer co-ops in Amer­ica go, they are viewed with an ap­prehension that is not clearly foiinded on facts. At ])resent the co-ops claim a business of !|'l,0n(),000 a day in our country which is less tluin 1% of the retail business in United States busi­ness. Probably .1*700,000 of this figure is business transacted by credit unions and farmer purchasing co-ops which are in reality producer and not con­sumer c6 -ops. I f it ever came to an open fight the marketing and purchas­ing co-ops would be on the side of organized business since they strive to keep prices up. The American Retail Federation’s statistics show that con­sumer co-ops are doing probably less than one-half of one per cent of Amer­ican ])usiness.

Thus it can be said that while the co-op movement is slowly growing, the aj)parent feeling of fear by the mer­chants in American business is justi­fied not by sane thinking but by vivid imagination.

The view held by most .students of consumer co-operation is that the co­ops will never threaten American en­terprise because the American people insist upon more service and conveni­ence than they can successfully pro­vide, and because American business has already shown that it can meet the strenuous competition created by its own methods.

Despite all this, the protagonists and antagonists await w’ith baited breath the report by the President’s Commis­sion which maj' mean government aid to consumer co-ops or the lone strug­gling of them w'ithout government loans or dictation.

Fannie Hurst says: “Today’s under­graduate is alert, sophisticated, in-on- the-know, intelligent, clever, cynical, sure. He is not burdened w'ith a sense of humor, he entertains self-pity, he thinks the world owes him a living, he is understandably apprehensive, he is tempted to drop his piece of meat for w^hat he sees reflected in the water. He is not inclined to properly evaluate the country in which he has played no pioneering part. He does not believe in Santa Claus.”

A. S. M. E. TO CARRYOUT YEAR’S PLAN

(Continued from Page 1, Col. 2)and the A. S. M. E. of Drexel Tech. Recently, William Contole was ap­pointed to the Engineer’s Ball Com­mittee. This ball has always been a success and proves to be a highlight of the Drexel social season. Although the meeting place has not yet been announced, the mechanical engineers also plan to attend the annual spring convention of the A. S. M. E.

Professor Billings, of the mechanical engineering department of Drexel Institute, is the honorary chairman of the organization. The officers are; Albert Juram, chairman; Charles Schneider, vice-Chairman; Edward Berry, corresponding secretary; Sam­uel Mitchel, recording secretary; Her­bert Raynea, treasurer.

All mechanical engineering students are invited to join the student branch at Diexel, while upper classmen may become student members of the senior society of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

Senior members have an additional advantage in that they are eligible to comjiete for a j.rize by presenting an engineering paper at the annual stu­dent convention, and they are also eligible to compete for the Charles T. Main National Award. Incidentally, Drexel men have won several cash |)rizes in student competition during th(> ]iast two years.

The time and place of the next evening meeting of the A. S. M. E. will be announced on the bulletin board in a short time.

Plans for a three-act play to be presented during the winter term were disfussed at the last meeting of Alpha Psi Omega last Wednesday.

Though Alpha Psi Omeg.-i will spon­sor the i>lay, the Kouge and Hobe will produce it. The tentative dates for ilie play are February l ‘J and 13. It will be either ;i tragedy or a modern play similar to “Petticoat Fever.”

After the meeting, the club mem­bers were invited to join Rouge and Kobe to see a one-act play, “ A Moun­tain Tragedy,” which was directed by Helen Albert. The members of the cast were: Sarah, Margaret Engel; Mr. Cecil, Harry Schontz; Mel Woods, Charles McCoy; Mrs. Toller, Eleanor Brrome; and Uncle Jed, Tom Polites.

This play is the first of a scries of eight to be given during this term. The second will be presented next Tuesday night. This play, which is entitled “A Bird in the Hand” is di­rected by Elmer Groo.

“The Last of the Lowries” will be presented in an assembly on Wednes­day, November 25. The production is directed by Robert MwCullough.

The remaining plays are not defi­nitely scheduled but if present plans succeed, they will all be given in December.

HALL OFFERS NOVEL COURSE

Police courts, domestic relations courts, and the whirring of the large newspaper presses. Sounds interest­ing? Well, that and more may be had in a course given here at Drexel.

In English 16, better known as “Technical Journalism,” all the ins and outs of newspaper w^ork are dis­cussed. So far, the students who are taking English 16 have made field trips to the court of Domestic Rela­tion, the plants of the “Ledger” and the “ Philadelphia Bulletin,” and sev­eral morning police hearings. Assign­ments arc made in a manner to imi­tate as nearly as possible the condi­tions that arise in actual newspaper l>ractice.

English 1(5 is given by Dr. F]. J. Hall and is an elective open to all juniors and seniors. It is a three hour course.

Figures don’t lie (ask the Math department, or the (’oeds), and ac­cording to this, Drexel’s Football team is the best in tho country. This is shown by the following:

Hrexel 7, Ursinus 6 .I'rsinus 0 , Bucknell (i.Villanova 0 , Bucknell 6 .Now since Bucknell defeated botli

Ursinus and Villanova by the same score, this makes both Ursinus and Villanova of equal strength (equals added to equals, you know), and since Drexel is one point better than Ur­sinus, they are also one point better than Villanova.

Villanova 13, Penn State 0.This makes Drexel 14 points bettor

than Penn State.Penn ID, Penn State 12.Yippee! Drexel is 7 points better

than Penn.Penn 16, Navy 6 .Drexel has now advanced to 17

points better than Navy.Navy 3, Notre Dame 0.Believe it or not, Drexel is twenty

points better than Notre Dame.Notre Dame 7, Ohio State 2.Goody, goody, Drexel is 25 points

better than Ohio State.Now just to niake it hard for you

to follow us, and to give the team u chance (figuratively speaking) to kick some more teams around a bit, we split the scoring into two branches.

Branch A:Ohio State 0, Pitt 6 .P itt 0, Fordham 0.Since Drexel was 25 better than

Ohio State, these two games put Drex- el 19 points ahead of both Pitt and Fordham.

Branch B:Xorthwestern 14, Ohio State 13.Northwestern 6 , Minnesota 0 .Minnesota 14, Washington U. 7.After these three games had been

played, and after we scrambled the numbers, we find that Drexel, who is- 25 points better than Ohio State, are now 24 ]»oints better than Northwest­

ern, ;$ii points better than Minnonota, and 37 points better than Wjishlngton I'niversity, who (we hope) are the Pacific Conference Champions. This makes Prexel undisputed champions of the Hose Mowl, Sugar Bowl, Orange Bowl, and Punch Bowl, but if Drexel is defeated by Swarthmore, remombor the “ Literary Digest” poll.

Editor’s Note: When wo asked our demon TRLVXGLK statistician just what he thought Louisiana State and Marcpiette would think about thia ar­rangement, he said not to bother him because he was busy making another report to show that the depression really started in Roosevelt’s term and ended in the Hoover administration. After this remark he was gently but very firmly ejected from the TRI­ANGLE Oflice.

Drexel Tech Shares N.Y.A. Help; 230 Aided

Drexel Tech has' had its share iji the benefit derived from the N. Y. A. program. The students aro employed in secretarial, laboratory and many other forms of work about tho school.

The only change in management of the N. Y. A. this year is a quarterly check-up by its government. At the time of this che,.k-up all the appropri­ation to the school must be used up or the a])propriation will be roduced.

All work is being carried on within the school. Although there have been requests for students to work at posi­tions in outside work, none of the jiositions have been filled because of lack of time on the }>art of the stu­dents.

The ratio between men and women on the N. Y. A. is about the same as that of the registration. At present there are 230 students employed and working beneficially in Drexel.

A notice posted at tho University of Illinois reads as follows: “A wild­life club for students, graduates and undergraduates will bo organized.” Hml

The books iu tho University of Min­nesota’s library aro valued a t over two million dollars.
