It sort of suggests that feeling of intimacy. of course, you might say that starting it with just any quotation of fact is wrong. That, precisely, is my attitude too, and so I have chosen a very appropriate one for this time of our college semester. Namely, that some people (New with responsibility, others just swell.

Has Ah, Article fly Finnegan Phlution Lecture “Doctors proved inadequate for the purpose of conserving the worker’s health in industrial processes, so of course the chemists had to take it over," were the welds of Dr. A. H. Zimmerman when he spoke on “The Reduction of Atmospheric I’olution in Chemical Processes” at the A.I.Ch. E’s second meeting of the year held in Science Hall last Friday. Dr. Zimmerman, a graduate of the class of 1926, is a ventilation engineer for the city. Dr. Zimmerman was well qualified to speak so authoritive- 1y on his subject since he did his work for the Masters and Chemical Engi- neering degrees on this Very subject of atmospheiic polution. The speech was accompanied by a series of slides which Dr. Zimmerman explained in detail to illustrate the text of his speech. Although the speech covered a broad range, it did not cover the smoke and combustion aspect of the subject. The next meeting of the A.l.Ch.E. will be held in two weeks. This meet,- ing will feature a debate on “Re- solved That Chemical Engineers Should Unionize." Frank Hackman and Paul Schultz will take the affirm- itive, and Robert Clark and Herman Bauermeister will take the negative. Arrangements have been made to have the joint meeting chapter of the A.l.Ch.E. and the se— nior chapter on Dec. 16.

Finnegan, professor of lire protection engineering at Armour, llDS written an article entitled “Bout- Page Five fraternities Football titties Covering Touchbachs and Safeties Explained Due to the numerous disputes which have arisen in this year’s early touchball games regarding: the rul— ing Fire Risks," which appears in the ing‘ as to a play being a WUCl’lhaClC October number the publication of the Chicago Associa~ of Commerce, tion of Commerce. In this article, Professor Finnegan points out that the destruction of property by fire involves a permanent loss which can not be restored, whether there is in- suruncc or not. If the owner is in- demnified, the wealth must come from capital collected by the community in the form of fire insurance. The author shows that fire losses other than physical ones, such as loss of business during suspension of op- erations, loss of customers who have made new contacts, and danger of personal injury or death preclude the full insurance Against the destructive- ness of fire. Conscientious attention to fire pre- vention and the use of protective de~ vices is shown in the article to be or a safety, Prof. John J. Schem- mci‘ was prevailed upon to give the official interpretation of the foot- ball rulcs covering this question. As every would—be player or fan knows, a safety gives two points to the team forcing: the safety upon its opposition. whereas a touchback merely results in the defending team gaining- possession of the ball on its own twenty yard line or, as Ogden field rules state, on the five yard stripe. Professor Schommer‘s posi- tion as a tap flight college football official and his nation-wide reputa- tion as an expert and consultant on rules leaves no room for question as to the authenticity of his ruling which follows: Rulings Clarified "The whole question is determined by ‘impetus’. If the impetus comes from the team defending their own goal line and sends the ball above good business, not only because it re- to, or behind their own goal and if, duccs the loss which cannot be cov- is recovered by them it is a safety. cred by insurance, but because it That impetus could come from any lowers the ‘cost of insurance ra te. . . by blocked kick or a kick into any of bringing: about a lower fire insurance the men on the kicking team.

The defenders are defined as. the team with its back against the goal line in question and the attackers as the opposing team. To explain the above semi-techniCal language there are listed here a. few common ex- amples of plays in question. A safe- ty results if the defenders center the ball behind the goal or run with it there and while still behind the line the defender in possession of the ball is tagged or steps off-side. If a wildly centered or fumbled ball passes out of the end zone, either by crossing the end line or side line ex! tended before being touched by the attackers it is a safety. Also a pass which is either blocked or goes wild and is grounded behind the passer’s goal line scores a safety against the offending: team. More Examples Given A touchback and no score results when a defender intercepts a for- ward pass behind his own goal line and is tagged before he crosses it on to the field of play. If a defend— er receives a kick behind his goal line and is tagged before crossing it the ruling is also a touchback. If, instead of attempting to cross, the goal line, the man with the ball steps beyond the side line extended or the end line, the ruling; is again a touch- back. However, if in any of the cases stated above the man in posses- sion of the ball once crosses the line on to the playing field and then runs into the end zone where he is tagged, or steps ofivside or past the end line, a safety and two points for the up- position results." til) WW; MG Wedding lime?"
