The book, entitled "How About a Man," is being published by the J. B. Lippincott Company, Philadelphia. - Hildegarde Dolson grew up in Franklin, where her family still live. Entering Allegheny in 1926, she was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma so- rority, and withdrew from college dur- ing her junior year. Now associated with Franklin Sim- on's in New York, she is one of the city's top-notch advertising women. Her contributions have appeared fre- quently in the New Yorker. It is expected that a review of Miss Dolson's book will appear in the next issue of The Campus. EDITOR'S NOTE—Each week, in addition to seventy-five exchange news papers received from colleges through- out the United States, a variegated as- sortment of press releases tumbles onto your editor's desk. All have some cause to expound, some drum to beat. A representative group in this week's mail is summarized herewith. By HOWARD GIBBS The Religious Drama Council of New York City is offering prizes to- taling $350 in a contest for the best one-act play on peace. The contest lasts from March 1 to July 1. ATTENTION, MOVIE-GOERS Place on your "must list" for movie the inimitable "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Walt Disney's first full length feature production. An R.K.O. publicity release convinces us of the value of this technicolor pro- duction. "Three years in the making—an hour and a half in the showing--a lifetime in the remembering--cost a millicn and a half—took 650 people to produce-2,000,000 sketches made- 200,e00 finally used—eight musical numbers bound to make the Hit Pa- rade." Watch the Campus for show- ing date in Meadville. ANOTHER POLL. Eight students from Allegheny Col- lege were included In a recent poll embracing 3,720 students of 223 col- leges to determine whether those 75- cent college outlines are a definite aid to Improved grades. Allegheny students pause to mourn the passing of one of the college's most promising graduates, remembering the imposing figure, the friendly manner, and the buoyant personality of Colon- el Lewis Walker. Mr. Walker died on January 31. He was 82. Always a magnanimous friend and benefactor of his beloved Alma Mater, he put zippers in our language, on our boots, jackets, notebooks, and lingerie. Allegheny College found Lewis Walker on its campus in late spring of 1872. He was a transfer student, having attended Beaver College at Beaver, Pennsylvania, for a few pre- ceding months. Colonel Walker is mentioned seve- ral times in the first volume of the, Campus, then a monthly newspaper. On December 19, 1876, he was a parti- cipant of the extemporaneous speak- ing contest. Again the Campus records that he was elected to the position of Critic in the Allegheny Literary Society, and later in 1577, he was elected Attorney.; According to the Campus of May, 1877, a Military Department was opened, with Lewis Walker at the head of the officers as First Lieutenant and Adjutant. Graduated in 1877, he received his A,M. in 1880. Local Resident. Six feet tall, handsome, and recent- ly married, he studied law in Mead- ville and was admitted to the Craw- ford County Bar in 1884. A trustee of the college in 1912 and 1913, Col. Walker served on the board again in 1926 until his death. He was a member of the college executive com- mittee. Dependable and prominent in col- lege councils, he exerted an inesti- mable influence in Allegheny's devel- opment, and in the fashioning of its educational and financial policies. Colonel Walker, anonymous contri- butor of funds to construct the Outing Club cabin and the Faculty Club house at the Bousson farm, also established a loan fund for student use. He has provided for the erection of a foun- tain figure in the alumni garden pool. Other gifts included funds for the rehabilitation of historic Ruter Hall, redecoration of Hulings Hall, and the purchase of an athletic field on Park Avenue extension. Honorary Degrees Awarded. In 1932 the college, in recognition of his accomplishments in his own field of private enterprise, conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Business (Continued on page 4) The poll honestly admits a press release "was not without its dissenting votes. One student admitted he flunk- ed—but added that the outline would have been a great help had he only read it." MORE PRIZES OFFERED. Spain comes to the fore in a $1000 contest sponsored by the League of American Writers in New York City. Essays, poems, radio and movie scripts; plays, and short stories, due by July 4, are eligible for the contest.

Schultz, Dean of Men and Professor of English, has recently com- pleted a book on The Unpublished Let- ters of Bayard Taylor. The work will be released by fhe Huntington Library Press March 1. Giving an important and interesting light on the aspects of life during the Civil War and especially on the views of the Pennsylvania poet. Dr. Schultz-Ts book is a collection of all the Bayard Taylor letters in the possession of the Huntington Library at San Marino, California. The letters are hitherto unpublished. The book, beautifully printed and bound, contains one hundred and twenty-eight of the four hundred let- ters in the collection in full; one hun- dred and twelve are summarized in- dividually and the rest are listed ac- cording to content. . Each of the letters is prefaced with a precis of the ma- terial found in the writings. Dr. Schultz has included in the volume an introductory note on Taylor's life. LIFE OF TAYLOR. Bayard Taylor was born in Kennett Square near Philadelphia in 1825. Through his travel books, four novels, many volumes of poetry, and numer- ous articles in newspapers and maga- zines, he became one of the outstand- ing literary figures of his time. Al- though the Poems of the Orient and the Pennsylvania ballads comprise his best work, he still holds the honor ot writing the outstanding translation of Goethe's Faust. Taylor would probably have remain- ed as popular as his contemporaries, Lowell, Whittier, and Longfellow, with wham he was well acquainted, had it not been for his conservative ideas. He followed the "poets of beauty," Keats and Tennyson, and looked with intense disapproval on Mark Twain (Continued on page 4) FRENCH MOVIE SHOWING HERE A French movie, which won Europe's plaudits and an international prize at Rome last year, will be offered for the delight of Allegheny students Tues- day, March 1. The Park Theatre will be the scene of presentation, sponsored by Phi Sigma Iota, honorary fraternity of , French language students. Entitled La Kermess Heroique or Carnival in Flanders the film will be presented at 4:30 o'clock. Tickets may be purchased from any members of the fraternity for 25 cents.

From 8:15 Monday night, February twenty-first, through the twenty-sixth, the Plays'nop will present this timely dramatic condemnation of war. Irwin Shaw's play is modern and exciting, with subtle and intensely real characterizations. Settings and light- ing effects, by Mr. John Hulburt, are weird and unusually effective. The play consists of twenty-one different scenes, directed by Miss Alice Spald- ing. Unprecedented in Playshop produc- tions, student activities tickets entitle students to one reserved seat. Seats may be reserved by presenting activit ties tickets at Playshop office any afternoon between 1:30 and 5:00. No activities tickets will be accepted at the doors.

Two of these men achieved the exceptionally high average of "A". The following statement was made by Prof. Philip M. Benjamin, Head Proctor, for the Proctors: "The Proctors congratulate these men upon their first term records and wish to point out especially that Mr. Norman Martin and Mr. Donald Starr, the only two men in the Freshman class to make an A average, both work at least four hours a day for their meals, and deserve especial recogni- tion for their splendid achievement." In order of their academic rating, the outstanding Freshmen are: (1) Norman Martin (2) Donald Starr, "A" average, (3) Lawrence Frost, (4) Richard Miller, Robert Oberlin, (5) William James, (6) James Gettamy, Edwin Spofford, (7) Wrightson Ton- gue, Arthur Rosen.

Saturday and Sunday found the Al- legheny College Outing Club holding the first Intercollegiate Snow Carnival in the history of district schools. Snow was lacking, but an alternate program suitable to snowless weather had been prepared and was pressed into nse,', with the result that the function was little hampered by the persistent balmy breezes. A week's preparation found the cabin and equipment of the club in spotless order. Early Saturday after- noon guests and members piled into, cars to spend a week-end in the open. Some delegates from the six invited saools assumed that no snow meant, no carnival and hence failed to appear, I cutting the number of expected guests appreciably. A group numbering well! over fifty, however, started for an ex- tended hike over ski trails both old! and new. Warm sun, open fields and budding; trees were quite a contrast to the ex , pected weather, but an out-of-season spring was more than acceptable. In all, some six miles of rolling country was covered before supper was an-; nounced by the traditional cow bell. Supper was rnet and conquered by a capacity crowd, while club chefs rose to the dCasion, providing luscious spaghetti and meat-balls, crowned by dessert of doughnuts and coffee. Ap- proval was universal. The prospect of a sing session encouraged a speedy new record in dish-washing. This prospect was fulfilled far into the even- , ing. The evening ice program was car- ried on despite a thin sheet of water over the ice. Earlier in the day, the lake had been marked by colored flags, indicating figure areas, race courses and safety boundaries. These, illumi- nated by red flares, offered a spectacu- lar setting for nearly two hours of good skating. The fireside program was an infor- mal game period interrupted occasion- ally as impromptu pantamines were given by inspired members. Eight boys and eight girls chaperoned by Miss Nancy Peffer stayed all night at he cabin, while the last to claim beds were so unfortunate as to be compell- ed to journey to town and return Sun- day morning. Late retirement and the drone of soothing rain promoted late sleeping and late breakfast, followed by infor- mal discussion groups and the noon (Continued on page 4) Upon giving the collection to the college Miss Tarbell insisted, "Thiii collection is only a nucleus. My idea is not merely to establish a memorial to Lincoln, but to give to the college increased facility for first-hand infor- mation and study of the history of the United States. I hope Allegheny will be able to build up a working collec- tion on American history, Lincoln be- ing the point on which it will center." College authorities have decided to ask the cooperation of students and alumni in filling out the gaps in the collection. "Certain things are needed," accord- ing to Miss Tarbell, "to make the collection a vital element in the study of the development of the democratic ideas which produced the man Lin- coln." The college authorities believe that "there is probably no one among grad- uates or undergraduates who could not by a little effort put his hands on some book, pamphlet, document, or print which belongs to the period cov- ered." Owners of material pertaining to Lincoln are urged to have it placed where it will be of some use, in the Lincoln collection of the Reis Library. Although contributions would probab- ly duplicate items already in the col- lection, the exchange value is substan- tial, and can be used to further the project. New York Alumni Association is in- teresting itself in the building of the collection, aiming to contribute the first section of books, which Lincoln studied in his early years. Lincoln prints, autographs, photo- graphs, sculpture—all legitimately be- long to the collection, as well as books on the lives of members of the Cabi- net and of the generals of the army, slavery, and the Confederacy. A PLEA! Friends of Allegheny who wish to contribute to the enlargement of the Lincoln collection are requested to communicate with Reis librarians ij they possess any of the following books, editions used by Lincoln in his early years.

COLONEL LEWIS WALKER When a true friend dies, little can be done to palliate the sense of irretrievable' loss. In an uprush of treasured memories, we can only remember his courage and persever- ance, the generosity and acumen of a man whose kinship with Allegheny was the noblest embodiment of friendship. Such a man was Colonel Lewis Walker. In the mellowing light of 82 years, Lewis Walker achieved 'the respect of the Meadville community, cherishing its economic and cul- tural well-being by maintaining its principal industry during a nation-wide depression, par- ticipating in its Literary Union, Round Table, Bar Association, Kiwanis Club and City Hos- pital. In his devotion to the college, he found the peerless bond of fraternity fellowship, as pat- ron of Delta Tau Delta, as long-time trustee of the college, donor of Park Avenue athletic field, and contributor to numerous college projects. On him the college conferred an honorary doctor's degree. He was the first graduate to receive the Alumni medal for eminent service to Alma Mater. A man of keen business judgment, his tena- city and determination in the face of rebuffs won for him success in the business world as promoter of the hookless fakener, the man who made zippers a household word. And though he achieved wealth, he aspired to simple living, finding his joy in civic spirit and college fellowship. President Tolley speaks for al lof us when he says of Lewis Walker, "In service to his Alma Mater, no name preceded his for the reason that no one loved the college more. No other trustee was so close to its problems. No friend of the college gave it help more frequently, or with greater joy." -:- AS I SEE IT .

BANK NIGHT. The Park presents tonight its usual Bank-Nite Prescription for Romance, with Mischa Auer, Wendy Barrie, and Kent Taylor. In brief, the alleged plot is about a Secret Service hero who chases a crook through Europe. The heroine, thinking the crook innocent, tries to thwart the hero, but finally loses the struggle and her heart too. The story is amusing but certainly not convincing—and even more briefly, "an artificial mixture of hokum and ro- mance." Letters to the Editor (EDITOR'S NOTE: Please be brief.

THE CAMPUS OF ALLEGHENY COLLEGE—FEBRUARY 16, 1938 Page Two Campus Editor Allegheny College Meadville, Pa. My dear Mr. Ziskind: My attention has been called to your editorial, "There's a Tavern in the Town." I want to thank you for bringing the matter to your readers in this telling way. Every time I contemplate our cock- tailized social life, I bow in shame at the realization that my own genera- tion, confused by the feverish pro- mises of unsocial -propagandists, voted the tavern into your town. It was your generation that was made the pawn. I am delighted that there are clear thinkers among our college youth who see that "something is sadly out of joint" and that they have been taken for a ride. "Liquor consumption in youth's formative years is a nasty in- fluence" and I am counting on the in- telligent action of those who know the real nature of alcohol to lead the way in making sobriety popular. Surely civilization of today will offer youth the community of hope. It will be necessary for youth to supply its own visions. You have my vote and active sup- port in holding up a decent ideal to students and other youth. HAROLD A. McCURDY, Pastor. Epworth M. E. Church New Castle, Pa.

Thursday, Friday, and Saturday at the Academy, Bulldog Drummond is is still getting revenge. On the same days the Park presents Fifty-Second Street, including in its cast Ian Hun- ter, Kenny Baker, and Pat Patterson. This is another rumbling, disjoint- ed musical, mixing a serious theme with song and dance sequences. The story concerns the transition of the New York street from its day as a street thoroughfare to a swing boule- vard, following this transition in the career of a famous family. The sub- ject has great possibilities but as our reviewer still says concerning the pic- ture, "52nd street remains unexplored." CHILD PRODIGY CROONS. On Sunday, student movie night, the Academy brings to Meadville Holly- wood's newest child singer in Every- body Sing. Fifteen-year-old Judy Gar- land begins the show by turning the morning singing hour of Calvin School for Girls into a swing session. She is sent home to her family and heroi- cally and loudly croons her way to a career. Fanny Brice as the maid, Ol- ga, is here and there with her usual spirit of spring technique. Author, Public Official. Mr. Deming's most notable publica- tions dealing with economic, social and historical objects include "The Press in Relation to World Peace," "Roose- velt in the Bunk House," and "How a Letter of a Country Lawyer Became International Law." Mr. Deming headed the United States Civil Service Commission under Presidents Harding, Coolidge, and Hoover. In Wyoming he served in the state legislature, later as presi- dent of the board of trustees of the University of Wyoming. INTERFRATERNITY DOLDRUMS Every so often "The Campus" editor emits a wicked snarl, twirls his mustache, and cracks the bull-whip with , diabolic wrath, seeking to castigate incompetence and reac- tionaryism wherever it exists. This week we turn the floodlight of unwel- come publicity on a hangover organization— the Men's Interfraternity Council. Osten- sibly intended to promote the mutual inter- ests of fraternity men, the Council this year has fallen into desuetude. Plans for an interfraternity ball, exchange dinners among fraternities, and a bridge tour- nament—all excellent ideas—have flitted in- to the drowsy atmosphere of the Council's bull sessions and have been promptly suffo- cated. Voicing the sentiment of a majority of stu- dents, we offer this suggestion: Let the Inter- fraternity Council rid itself of cloying inaction or else crawl back into the woodwork. — - --- For split-second service at prices within the law, the college bookstore monopoly seems to be the best of its kind on the Allegheny campus. With an economics professor ready, willing, and able to explain the miracle of the book- store's survival on a meager ten percent pro- fit, we can only accept the labyrinth of book- keeping and recognize the bookstore for what it is—a social service agency dedicated with- out fear or favor to.the welfare of Allegheny customers. And yet, for all its magnanimous intent, one significant need yet remains unfilled. During the frenetic days which marked the opening of this semester, students scurried about, seeking to locate vagrant second-hand text-books before the final order sheet went in. Perhaps, you too, were among the many seeking capsules of culture at a discount. Or perhaps, even now, a forlorn text encumbers your desk—unwanted and unsold. In the parlance of the economics depart- ment, there is only one explanation—the middleman has broken down, the instruments of exchange have been benumbed. But whatever the explanation, you pay the full price! That is why we say : "Not until we have a used-book exchange at Allegheny will the college bookstore have fulfilled its destiny !" The organization of a clearing house for used books is simple enough for even a col- lege senior to understand. Simply leave your used books at the ex- change, indicating what minimum price you will accept for the discarded remnants of your knowledge. If the book is sold, the bookstore transmits the money to you, deducting a five or ten percent service charge for the transac- tion. Is not this the very essence of justice—per- mitting a free interplay of economic forces and the free flow of economic goods? Is not this, my friends, the very apotheosis of sup- ply and demand capitalism? Is not this idea the illegitimate brainchild we have all been breathlessly waiting for? Isn't it? Or isn't it? When the empyrean light of wisdom pene- trates to the Cochran basement, perhaps a little sign will be tacked on the door. Stu- dents who can read English at sight transla- tion will find that it says: "Used Book Ex- change Open For Business." Then will there be dancing in the streets and high holiday abroad. Then, truly, may the bookstore's heraldic coat of arms—depicting one clerk rampant, the other couchant on a brocade adorned with dollar signs—be further emblazoned with the stirring motto: "Non caveat emptor," or, in common lingo, "We Do Right By Our Custo- mers !"

COMING EVENTS: In poring over back issues of the Kaldron, your edi- tor chanced upon a rousing epilogue to the 1933 issue. In that year, we regret to say, the editor of the Campus was placed on a purely amateur basis, at least insofar as remuneration was concerned. And so with Interest we read the declaration: "Placing the three Allegheny college publications on a purely amateur and non-salary basis has seen a great and outstanding decline in persons competing for the various staffs. "In fact," the Kaldron says, "the decline in interest has become so great that unless college authorities take some action to secure for the editors recognition of some sort, the time is rapidly approaching when Alle- gheny faces the possibility of being without publica- tions of any description. "There was a time when the editorship on one of the publications meant something. A student had some- thing to work for and was rewarded for his effort. Now he does it all for school and glory, which is very good in theory, but the coming years will see just how good it is in practice." We shudder ttpon reading that, and, truly, we don't know whether to feel embarrassed or not! DEFINITIONS: A plutocrat is a man who buys enough'new shirts to actually know where to look for the pins.

Ohio Wesleyan sends us Kay Reed who will add to the Beebe women. She rooms with Wham Bryant. Both are from Massachusetts. The 'Gators may be accused of a six- man team with the addition of George Rose in the stands, catching the ball each time it went out of bounds.

I Now that the new and greatly im- proved system of registration has end- ed, we rest our aching arches. We ex- press to the administration our wish that they rest not on their laurels but endeavor to find a more obviously ef- fective method. They say a stitch in time saves nine, but Adele Horner has different ideas on the subject after spending Satur- day night in the hospital as a result of running into her knitting needles. Saturday was a big day for many on the hill, including Phi Psi's, pledges and spectators. Students discovered that beer barrels are pretty tough things to roll in more ways than one. Cucca Boy Becker and John Lytle were back from New Jersey to help, along with Marianna Rall. Her beaming countenance was only overshadowed by the brilliance from her left hand. The Phi Delt Fall Formal brought no pin hangings but it did add a new charter member to the chapter. At least, Bob Oberlin seemed to believe the story that Abe Lincoln was fra- ternity minded.

BY LE MENTEUR SHAFER AND WHITE LEAD SCORING FOR 'GATORS IN THRILLER TIME OUT By WILLIAM COLLEY Since the last issue of the Campus, the Allegheny basketball team has been moving rapidly through its sched- ule. Meeting its old rival, Grove City, on the latter's court, the 'Gators went down to defeat under a barrage of telling shots. The first --half of the game was fairly even; in the second halt Grove City spurted into an early lead and held that lead until the final gun sounded. The scoreboard showed Grove City the winner by a five-point margin, 41-36. White, as usual, played an outstand- ing game, scoring 16 points. Despite Grove City's brag that they had him "figured out" and would stop him, he proved pretty slippery and caused wel- come trouble. "Shafer's the only one we're scared of," Grovers said, and he was completely bottled up, getting only three points, a new low for the Mead- ville boy. On January 22, the University of Rochester invaded the 'Gator court and won by the slim margin of two points. Those who remember last year's game will recall that this same team defeated us by but one point on their own court. Allegheny's squad clicked to perfection. Coach Lawrence had a word of praise for the team despite the fact that his team came out on' the short end of a 49-47 score. Said he, "The boys played the best game any team has ever played for me since I came to Allegheny." Shafer and White were high scorers. Invading Hiram on February 5 Allegheny proceeded to wallop them to the tune of 49-27. Shafer scored 18 points; White, 12; and "Socky" Rob- inson, 7. Hiram will again pit its '37- '38 model against the Allegheny ball Thiel, after defeating Allegheny on its home court by the close score of 33-30, had a chance to taste the bitter medicine of defeat when it met Alle- gheny on the 'Gator court Friday. They were looking in the small end of the horn when the gun sounded at the final with a 30-23 score adorning the scoreboard. Allegheny took the lead early in the first half when White flipped in one of his one-handed specialties, immediate- ly followed by a tally with Shafer tak- ing the ball on a long pass from Gratz. With only two minutes of the game gone, Thiel called time-out in an effort to pull themselves together and to stem what was to prove a terrific scor- ing spurt by the 'Gators. Don Breckinridge dropped in the Tomcats first score from just outside the foul circle. Allegheny put on a scoring rally with a few scattered tal- lies by Thiel, which brought a fast and thrilling first half to a close. Score-19-7 in favor of the 'Gators. During the rest period, something went out of the Allegheny aggregation. When the two teams returned to the floor, Thiel and Allegheny changed positions as far as effective attack and defense were concerned. Thiel began by ringing up several field goals in the opening minutes of the second half. Allegheny called time out. Visions of a one-sided game were blown to bits as Thiel began paring down the 12 point margin set in the opening stanza of the contest. Allegheny was not to be taken for a ride without making it tough for someone, coming back to their first- half brand of ball as the gun sounded at the end of the game. Shafer and White were outstanding as far as the scoring was concerned, but the fast, accurate passing of lanky Art Gratz kept the boys in the ball game. Line-up: ALLGH EN Y passers March 5.

By ARTHUR GRATZ BASKETBALL Delta Tau Delta's 36-13 defeat of Al- pha Chi Rho Thursday evening con- cluded the first half intramural bas- ketball championship for the Highland Avenue boys, as the Sigs defeated the Independents the same evening. The I.MA.C. basketeers had press- ed the Delts closely all along the race. Score in the latter tussle—S.A.E. 30, I.M.A_C. 16. As basketball moves into the second half of the schedule the Delts stand an excellent chance of retaining the cup won last year. The Delts have the best team in the league, but per- haps some other team will come through to win the second half, and necessitate a three-game playoff for the title. The teams most likely to give the Delts a fight are the Indepen- dents and the Sigs. Games scheduled for this week are as follows: Wednesday, February 16. 7:30—Delts vs. Sigs. 8:30—Phi Delts vs. Phi Psi. Thursday, February 18. 7:30—Phi Gams vs. Chi Rho. Friday, February 19. 1:30—Sigs vs. Phi Delts. 2:15—Phi Psi vs. Chi Rho. 3:00—Phi Gams vs. Independents. Looking back over the first half of the schedule, outstanding players ap- pear to be J. Lavely, Delt; Bill Cappe, Phi Delt; D. Shields, Sig; C. Thiel, Chi Rho; C. Rothrock, Phi Psi; Whit- acre, Independent; and Uhlinger, Phi Gam. An innovation this year is the for- mation of a faculty team, which now has a larger following than the frater- nity squads. The boys really put on a good game of ball, having thus far defeated two "B" league teams. All our instructors give good accounts of themselves with Brickley, Rowlingson and Way starring. The next faculty game will be late this week. We hope to see a large turnout for it. Players and spectators get .a lot of , enjoyment out of the game, so let's have more faculty play- ers, and more student and faculty rooters.. "6" LEAGUE -. I "B" League games will be announced on the intramural bulletin board, and again the intramural office requests that more cooperation be shown by the players in this league. If you are scheduled to play, please be there. HANDBALL To facilitate the running off of the handball tournament, a new draw was made at the completion of the first round. Seeded players in the new draw are: (1) W. Shields, (2) J. Lavely, (3) J. Jones, (4) D. Stoops, (5) B. Apple- yard, (6) A. Aey, (7) L. Taylor. The first round matches are to be completed as soon as posisble, and the champion will be crowned no later than the middle of March. SWIMMING While no definite date has been set for the intramural swimming meet it will probably be held the 25th and 26th of February. All swimmers are asked to get into the pool as often as pos- sible to get in condition for the meet. BOWLING Bowling, won last year by Phi Delta Theta, will start in the near future. The tournament will be run off with five man teams representing the vari- ous groups. Competition this year will probably be round-robin rather than league form. All teams seem to he shaping up pretty well, with this writer stringing along with either the defending Phi Delts, or last year's runners-up, the Sigs.

Today the Blue and Gold pack their bags and head for Buffalo, there to meet a foe untried by them this sea- son. Buffalo defeated the Grovers on the latter's court two weeks ago, leav- ing no doubt as to who was the better team. Since Allegheny was defeated earlier in the season at the hands of the Grovers, experience has galvanized a different team. February 19 will see the local squad on the home court, meeting Grove City In a return game. LOSS OF MEN PUTS HALT TO SWIM SCHEDULE Mid-year probation announcements dealt the 'Gator tank squad a fatal I blow, Coach Bruce Brickley announced 'last week. An already small, though powerful, team was too hard hit by marks to continue, several key men falling vic- tims to administration rules on aca- demic eligibility. "Completion of the schedule would have placed too heavy a strain on the remaining men," commented Coach Brickley. fore 7:30, the period has been moved up to 8:15, starting at 7:30. This is the first time such an inno- vation has taken place at Allegheny, achieved largely through the efforts of Miss Henrietta Gregory, dietician. Difficulties arose with the fact that waiters must be free to meet their early classes. By arranging a system of shifts, the impossible has been achieved. Hulings and girls' dormitories, ex- cept Cochran, have usually had from 7:15 until 8:00. Even this necessi- tated too early rising for those who are now the same as those maintained in Cochran. The present standing in Canine Pug List is two victories to one defeat for Jake of the Tau Dolt A.C. over Sig of the S.A.E. Club. Lately I observe a new contender back in the local ranks, a citizen called George, touted by the ' Phi Gams. George is a likely hound, and freim rumors I have heard I under- stand he packs a wicked disposition. We fans are looking forward to a hard- fought engagement in the future. Note: Strictly for Gentlemen Sports- men. See the camp followers in "Bury the Dead." I am not the first to ob- serve these phenomena and I won't be the last. Will some other second rate team please accept the faculty's arrogant challenge, and wipe up the gym with those upstarts? Messers. Brickley and Rowlingson are obviously asking for a puffed lip, if we may judge by their tactics. It is rumored that Joe Pierce, a like- ly leather thrower, is contemplating a career in the professional fight ranks. Promoters are trying to arrange a match for Joe with Louie Long, a lo- cal lightweight. If this deal goes thru the match will be held in Arter 26. Both boys have a large local following. at Franklin Center and Eureka Cross- roads.
