An inter-collegiate association’s survey shows that the average “life” of football coaches at major colleges during the past decade has been less than four years.

In connection with the swimming squad, it was definitely stated that Captain Ruekberg or Manager Stern would be at the Uni-- versity of Chicago pool every Mon— day and Friday to time the swim- mers and generally supervise the practice. In View of this, there should be no reason why the swim— mers shouldn’t be out there getting the low-down on their respective abilities. The schedule for the com- ing season is almost complete, but not yet ready for publication. Wright and DePaul are two of the schools. on the list. Frank Hackman, with the aid of interclass and interliraternity mana- gers, made up the list of events for the interclass and interfraternity tournaments to be held January 13. There are only two events scheduled for the interclass swim, the four man relay and the three man medley. Seven events will be run off in the interfraternity swim, consisting of the four man relay, the three man medley, the 40 yard breast stroke, the 40 yard backstroke, and the 40, 100, and 220 yard crawls. It should be noted at this time that the names of all entrants in both tournaments should be submitted before the meet, and that no changes will be made the night of the meet.

He is married and has four children—all boys, ranging from one to eleven years of age. He likes to shoot with bow and arrow and shot a 500 pound seal in the Antarctic with that weapon. He has also hunt- ed crocodiles, alligators, deer, and wild boar in Panama. Former Football Player For all of these things Dr. Poultcr is relatively a young man. He was born in Salem, Iowa, March 3, 1897, and received his 3.5. degree at the Iowa Wesleyan College in 1916; while at college, he played football. At the University of Chicago he re- ceived his Ph.D. degree in chemistry in 1933. Following this he was ap— pointed to a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship and received a Sc.D. hon— orary degree from the. Iowa Wesley- an College in 1935. His work has centered itself upon research an elec- trical, chemical, physical, and optical effects of extremely high pressures; Antarctic meteor and auroral phon- omena; geophysics; glaciology; seis- mology; terrestrial magnetism; and organic chemistry. Immediately following his gradua- tion from college Dr. Poulter taught physics and later was an assistant in chemistry and biology at the Univer- sity of Chicago. In 1925 he was made head of the department of chemistry at Iowa Wesleyan College and later became head of the physics depart- ment at the same school. During the summer of 1927 he lectured at va- rious universities in fourteen western states and in Canada. In 1932 he was a member of the Arizona Meteor Ex- pedition sponsored by the Midwest Meteor Association. In conjunction with his scientific work he has designed and built many delicate precision scientific instru- ments such as the quartz spectro- graph for the “30" spectrum, record- ing microphotometer,, seismograph, tiltmeter, and high pressure appara- tus. Enlialed in Navy During the World War, Dr. Poulter enlisted in the Navy and was station- ed at Panama in the submarine (1-4 and in several ‘R’ boats. On board the submarines he was a machinist and had charge of the air compres- sors. After the war he was respon— sible for the dismanteling of the 0—4. Other of his naval work included heavy machine design and drainage engineering. He now has a Lieuten— ant Commander commission in the U.S. Navy and acts in an advisory capacity in connection with naval en- gineering research. Dr. l’onlter is a member of the fol~ lowing societies: American Physics Society, American Chemistry So- ciety, Seismological Society of Amer- ica, Iowa Academy of Science, A.A. A.S., Midwest Meteor Association, Sigma Xi, American Polar Society, Illinois Academy of Science, and Theta Kappa Nu.
