YEAEEY EMEHEES
EAMMEE EY. GAME
Louisville Grid Contest

Called Yale-Harvard ' of
l‘ligh Schools

L - 11111.1: 111011 vs. MANUAL TRAlN.

For the sixth consecutive year,

John Schommer, Professor of Indus

L trial Chemistry and ,football official,
will umpire the annual Thanksgiving
football game between Male High and
Dupont Manual Training High
schools of Louisville, Kentucky. Ac—
cording to “John," this is for him
the most interesting game of the
year.

He says: “This is the Yalcvflarvard
game of the high schools of the coun—
try. Rivalry between the schools is
very intense, and the boys fight to
the last ditch. This one game means
more to them than all the rest of the
season put together. A fine calibre
of football is played, quick, brainy,
headworh is shown, and though of
course the teams are light, they make
up for it in speed. Last year, over
thirty thousand people attended the
game, and this year more are ex-
pected. This game rates as a big
social event in that section, and peo-
ple from all the state attend.

“The officials receive wonderful
treatment from the schools, though
last year, and the year before last, I
was forced to call decisions that cost
a team the victory. All the ofiicials
are men who ofl‘iciate in the Big Ten
games. The officials last year and

this year are Joe Magadsohn,

I told him that I would be glad to go
there the following year if he wanted
me. It appears they had been having
some difficulties over the decisions
the officials had made in previous
years. The next year I went down,
and have been going every year since
then. Evidently we must be giving

Ralph Garbett, ’28, has been ap-
pointed boxing coach for the coming
season. Garbett is well qualified to
hold this important position, as he
has trained under some‘of the best
coaches in Chicago, and also has had
a wealth of experience in the ama-
teur ring.

Captain M. C. Larkin, ’30, who un—
derwent an operation for appendici»
tie a few weeks ago is back again

. and hopes to be able to enter the
ring for the first match some time in
January providing he will be in
shape.

Briggs, Buehling‘, Jammer and
Whitfield of last year’s team are
working out regularly and show con-
siderable improvement in their con~
dition. With these four men and pos-
sibly Captain Larkin to form the back
bone of the team and the new men,
Bryant and Nelson, who show prom-
ise, a successful season is in store.

tically a1ranged arze Culver, West

The first of the class dances of the
year, that of the seniors, was held
last Friday night at the Lake Shore
Athletic Club. According to an es-
timate of C, H. Johnson, Social
Chairman, 290 couples attended,
there being; 255 tickets sold. The
others were complimentary. The
class made expenses and showed some
small profit. As Ca] says, “The dance
was a social and 11 financial success."

Zez Confrey helped to entertain by

playing his famous composition “Kit~

Varsity Drag, and a tap dance.
The dancers assembled promptly
at nine o’clock and stayed till 1201.
All reported a wonderful time, in
spite of the inclement weather.

‘Ercutire Yhoughi’ Yell:
interests Assembly

Dr. John Herman Randall, Chair-
man of the World Unity Foundation
and editor of the “World Unity Mag—
azine,” addressed the students at a
general assembly held Thursday, No-
vember 15. His subject “Creative
Thinking and How It Might Change
the ‘World,” presented a plea for bet-
ter understanding between the vari-
ous races 01' the world.

Dr. Randall graphically illustrated
the interdependence of the nations
by referring to an article by a noted
French economist regarding the daily
life of the average Parisian gentle—
man. That individual is fed, clothed,
and housed by products manufac-
tured from raw materials from every
corner of the world. With such a
situation being representative of eve-
ry nation due to the present social
and economic systems, it is obvious
that racial hatreds and international
prejudices must be abolished before
truly constructive work can be ac—
complished.

“Creative thinking, the faculty of
seeing familiar objects and situations
in new relations,” said Dr Randall,
“offers a solution to these problems.”

Dr. Randall is at present making a
tour of the United States addressing
college students and prominent civic
organizations on similar topics.

pole vaulter; and Eichen, a jumper,
have all graduated. Paul, the stellar
shot putter, is back, and in better
form than ever. Sturm 11nd Fox are

Captain Kara is trying the hurdles
again; Iverson and Timmermans are
training now for the middle dis.

Seniors Favored To Win

The stately seniors loom up as the
prospective conquerors of class lau—
rels. These frisky performers tool;
all other opponents into camp last
winter and since they have lost no
player: this season, are averse to ‘r a
ing any setbacks.

Thus the present forecast. favors
the seniors, while the freshman,
sophomores, and juniors are consid
ered as contingent possibilities. But
if the coming embroilment was to be
as one sided as that, there would he
no need of staging these hardwood.
emulations.

Under Classmen Promising

A peek into the Armory while
those determined basketballers were
righting to win a. berth on the class
teams, revealed that this season’s in-
te1~class competition is doomed to
feature some furious court entangle
meats.

Vic Taylor’s freshman squad, com-
posed of 40 members, featuring such
cavmrtets as Laden, Heller, Selmfio‘
.Musick, . Carlson,» Billings,~8uruét
and Wierzbowshi, looms up to he
more than just a mere possi lit}; in
the struggle.

Ted Schueler’ s sophomores too are
by no means dark horses in the recs

and appear veiy promising These
mentors will guide the destinies of
the under class men and are united
in determination to give the upper
classes a financing and then settle
the dispute among themselves in the
pals.

Juniors and Seniors Optimistic

Manager H. \V. Faulstich with his
juniois, and John Bady, pilot of the
seniors will undoubtedly have b‘g
laugh up their sleeves when they
hear of the under classmen‘s inten-

a

 

hing.

Professor Libby is the secretary of
the Educational Committee of the 11s-
socistion, and in this connection he
has been responsible for much val»
Liable work in the promotion of the
educational interests of the organis
zation. Many booklets and pamphlets
on elementary mechanics and on e11—
gineering principles underlying the
subject of refrigeration, have been
published under his direction and
have been widely circulated among
refrigeration experts, several of
whom have not had the advantage of
an engineering education. He is a]-
so in charge of the program of the
present convention.

Professor Libby made the trip to
Louisville by auto, and before re»
turning", expects to tour into the
southern part of the state on a visit
to the Mammoth Caves, which are lo-
cated about 100 miles south oi" Louis-
ville. He will return Monday.
