Defeats Sigma N u in Hard-Fought Battle to Take Second

Place Playoff

The intramural basketb-all tourna­ment was brought to a close on Tues­day, March 13, when the Commons Club won the playoff for the cham­ionship of both leagues by defeating the Neutral Blue quintet 30 to 24. This marked the second consecutive year that a non-fraternity team has won the cup. The Neutral "C" .five were the champions last season.

Led by Art M'puntford and George DeBonis, the Commons Club was out in front all the way, and wa.~ never seriously headed. A foul shot by Sutherland and three hoops by Mount­ford gave the American League lead­ers a 7 to 0 lead. Hanaghan tallied a foul and field goal for the Blues, but DeBonis and Mountford found the range for two-pointers, boosting the lead to 11 to 3. At half time the Commons Club held a 19 to 6 advan­tage.

The Blues began to find themselves near the end CJoi the third quarter when Hanaghan, Howard, and Herald scored to cut the bad to eight points. During the final period both teams played on even terms, the Commons Club protecting its early lead. The score as the game ended found them on the long end of a 30 to 24 score. Mountford, DeBonis, and Pacosha played well for the victors, while Jim Hanaghan and Herald were best for the Neutral Blues. The Commons Club advanced to the finals by virtue of a victory over the Sigma Nu five, who had defeated the Neutral Gold in another playoff.

Class of 1899 is Making Plans for Gala 35th Reunion, to Be Held Here Next June Week

The Class of 1899, long noted for from the newspaper into our history its enthusiasm and love for Trinity, books. A more modern note is reached

is planning its thirty-fifth reunion for next June Week. This winter Kelso Davis, William Eaton, and Bishop McElwain have written letters

The papers contained a complete account of the various ceremonies, and the changes which thiTty-five years have made in newspaper style are amusingly evident. "Many Hartford people, including a generous repre­sentation of attractive young ladies, fetchingly decked out, favored the event with their presence" and "The band followed this ceremony with the lively two-step, 'At a Georgia Camp Meeting', which set the young people to thinking of the dance to be given in Alumni Hall this evening" are typi­cal comments by the reporter.

Elton G. Littell, Secretary of '99, writes that his class is inviting as guests to its reunion dinner members of '96 and '00. This idea was originated at the 30th reunion ban­quet and proved so successful that it was voted to repeat the invitation this June. Already a number from each of these classes has accepted.

The class of '99 has J<ept intact its enthusiasm through thirty-five years and the activity of the members should insure a successful reunion next June Week.

The first call for track candidates was also issued Wlednesday by Coach Oosting. Besides the usual number of new men whom Oosting will train for the various track events, there were the following veterans from last year; Kellam, 100 and 220-yard runs, broad and high jumps; Oaptain Daut, high and low hurdles, high and broad jumps; Warner, high and broad jumps, and discus thrower; Gladwin, two-miler; S. E. Smith, low hurdle; Harris, two-miler; Alexander, discus and shot; Hazenbush, 100 and 220-yard runs; Grant, quarter-mile run; Mowbray, pole vault.

Men lost through graduation last June were: Captain Swanson, half­mile; Thayer, javelin; Adams, quarter mile; Heinsen, pole vault; and Leav­itt, half-mile. The javelin and half­mile events are likely to be weak, in addition to the pole vault, which has only Mowbray.

PAUL LAUS GIVES TALK ON SCHOLASTIC SPORTS

IN THE PHILIPPINES Member of Freshman Class Speaks in Chapel-Collection Is Sent to Ezra Diman, '32

At the chapel service on Wednes­day, March 14, Paul Laus of the Freshman Class spoke about the games of the boys in the mission school at Sagada, Philippine Islands, which he attended. A collection was taken up dur ing the service t o be sent to E zr a Diman, '32, t he principal of the school, for t he purpose of pr ovid­ing better equipment for the students. Laus dwelt chiefly on the athletics and games of the boys in , t he Philip­pines, pointing out t hat many of their sports were identical to our own.

It seems that football and outdoor winter sports, made impossible by the warm climate, are our only major games not known in Sagada. Basket­ball, baseball, track and field sports, and other games are enjoyed, and in addition each boy must be present at calisthenic exercises given every morning at six o'clock by Mr. Diman. Chess, checkers, dominoes, and cards are enjoyed in the leisure hours.

About twenty-five years ago, before there was any school at Sagada, the boys had games of a much different nature, some of which were handed down by their fathers, others made up by themselves. Those about six­teen and under practiced scaiing ci;.ds and walking under water with a heavy stone on one shoulder. They also would roll some round object down a slope and spear it after it had gathered speed. They practiced wres­tling and boxing until they became quite proficient in those arts. A game closely corresponding to our sledding in winter was sliding down .a steep hill on bundles of grass or apything else which offered little resistance. Ever-popular games there, as here, were climbing a greased pole, catching a greased pig, and tossing coins.

The games of the older boys were more dangerous. They consisted chiefly of fights with clubs and stones. These battles took place on certain holidays and the appointed day was

At a meeting of the Athletic Ad­visory Council held last Mfonday it was voted t hat, subject t o Faculty ap­proval, the University of Vermont football team would be scheduled for a seventh game in 1934. The follow­ing day the F 'aculty approved the plan, and November 10, the Saturday following the Wesleyan game, has been set as the date.

It was also voted at the A. A. meet­ing to present each varsity letterman with a sweater, which will have the letter sewed on it. The color of the sweater and the type of letter used will be uniform, it was announced, but as yet the Council has not de­cided upon a standard type.

The <following men were awarded varsity letters in basketball: Captain Kelly, Daut, Kearns, Martens, Lid­dell, Sampers, Warner, and Kobrosky. Junior varsity insignia goes to Stenz, Nelson, Mountford, Ferrucci, Anthony, Dunne, and Weber.

Swimming letters were voted to the foliowing men: Mowbray, Hall, !VIot­ten, Captain Coit, Onderdonk, Dick­erson, Angus, and Manager Adrian Onderdonk.

Three men who played their last game of basketball for Trinity this season qualified for gold awards in that sport. They are Captain John Kelly, Bob Daut, ex-captain and cen­ter for three years, and Ray Liddell.

Managerial competitions were also voted on at the meeting, and the fol­lowing appointments were made: James D. Cosgrove as Manager CJof Varsity Swimming for 1935, with Paul Henderson and Harry Davis as Assistant Managers; Donald Sellars as Manager of Jayvee Swimming for 1935 ; Lucius J . Kellam as Manager of Varsity Basketball for next year, with John Geare and 'Norman Moore as Assistants; and Lloyd Rogers as Manager of Jayvee Basketball for 1935.

A T A awards were made to Little Sinclair, Ellsworth, Paddon and Day These men had all won points in swimming, but had fallen short of the number required for a letter.

The Winte1· Sports Banquet will be held in the Dining Hall Monday eve ning, March 26, at 6.30 o'clock. Mem hers of the varsity basketball and swimming teams and junior varsity insignia winners are invited as guests of the College.

In the quarter-finals Hollins de­feated Ganaway by a score of 3-1; Benjamin edged out Bainbridge in a 3-2 match; Hall advanced to the next round of play by default ; and Mason defeated J'<~ckson 3-0. The match be­tween Benjamin and Bainbridge was closely contested throughout, and the former finally won by a one point margin.

In the semi-finals Hollins defeated Benjamin by a score CJof 3-1. The match between M·ason and Hall was contested equally as hotly as the one between Bainbridge and Benjamin in the earlier round. Mason won out in the last game a single point ahead of his opponent.

The squash champion of the col­lege will be decided in a match to be played during the course of this week between the f inalists, Hollins and Mason.

VARSITY SWEATERS

Spurred on, no doubt, by the unusual success that our teams have enjoyed this year, the Athletic Advisory Council has finally deemed it advisable to award lettered sweaters to all winners of varsity insignia at Trinity. This is a commendable step, but one that should have been taken long ago. All colleges and most schools that we know of consider giving a sweater synonymous with awarding a letter, and it is rather too bad that we could not have seen our way clear to observing this practice a little earlier. The important thing is, however, that certain people have been persistent enough to put through a measure which will mean that wearing one's letter will now be possible, where it was previously an almost wholly unobserved tradition, rapidly going the way that all college traditions seem to be headed in these times.

The Council has not yet decided upon any type of sweater, but the chances are that it will be either blue or white, and that the letter appearing on it will be gold, possibly with a thin blue border. Arguments seem to be plentiful for either type, but we are bound to confess that we favor the white sweater, and we are fairly certain that most of the students do. It has been s tated that the white ones would show stains more quickly and would therefore assume a soiled appearance, unless considerable expense were incurred in having them washed or cleaned. It was our experience at school to notice that white sweaters on the whole looked neater and cleaner that did the blue. Men took pains about them, whereas they figured that the blue ones could absorb any amount of anything, and consequently paid little or no atten­tion to their upkeep. Wouldn't it be a good idea to let the men who will wear them decide what kind of sweater they want?

KEEPING UP THE GOOD WORK

It requires no more than a cursory glance and an open mind to accept the unpleasant truth that a large portion of the Trinity College campus is far from pleasing to the eye. While we appre­ciate the efforts that have been and are in progress further to beautify the grounds, we nevertheless cannot help but feel that much time in the past could have been put to better advantage than has been the case. Last year the Community Chest kindly lent their support in the grading operations behind the Chapel by sending up a crew of workers daily over a considerable length of time. While their progress was somewhat retarded by the nature of their employment, we are nevertheless thankful that means were found for doing so necessary a piece of work. Now, however, with that improvement practically completed, will all work on the grounds stop there? Spring is almost here, ana we should like to see undertakings of this nature continued.

In view of the fact that there is not a sufficient distribution of buildings over the campus, it only remains that more trees and shrubbery should be planted to cover and beautify the barren areas. It is that great expanse of empty wastes extending from Vernon Street to the Trowbridge Memorial and past Boardman Hall, and from the Bishop down to Broad Street which is, of course, the greatest eyesore. Also, by a sufficient growth of foliage, that long, fearfully hideous stretch of Broad Street would be partially hidden, thus saving much wear and tear on the more aesthetic senses. It would be a simple thing for a landscape architect to devise ways and means for arboreal beautification which would free us from the grating aspect of ihe local neigh­borhood. In any event, something could be done, for surely ~Neath the Elms of our old Trinity should not be limited in scope to only a few acres of the campus, when there are so many latent possibilities.

Bicycle-Barring Administration is Root of Curriculum Unrest, Rover Reports

Dear Editor :

As faithftlT subscribers to the Trin­ity Tripod, we would like to take this opportunity to say that we consider it a very fine paper (except for that silly guff someone writes about us, which is obviously based on nothing but malicious libel). We practically always read the Tripod as it is rather difficult for Wilberforce to look up all those long words in the dictionary and sometimes he gets tir ed of just looking at the pictures; so we read it out loud to him, and that is the reason that we have noticed lately quite ~ lot of indignant letters from students and members of the faculty, all snap­ping at each other and at the educa­tional system, which must be pretty screwy from all that we can gather. (Wilberforce says he thinks so too.)

Now, what we want to say is-and we hope you will print this letter so that the Zilch sisters (See "Rover Boys on a Date") will see that we are Making Good and perhaps let us press their hands at the next taffy pull---, why can't Wilberforce bring his bicycle into Eccy. class? Of course, to a faculty so hopelessly atavistic (oh, boy) as ours, this would seem like a small point, but let us tell you, Wilberforce has cried himself to sleep about it for two weeks now and for the last three nights we've had to tie him to the bed to keep him from end­ing it all.

Anyway, last week Wilberforce, as we started to tell you, brought his bicycle into the Eccy. room and there sat the instructor, looking like a Greek god in a Hart, Schaffner, and Marx suit, digging up a lot of silly bilge to read out of a book, and all the rest of t he class was getting comfortable and beginning to catch up with their personal correspondence (letter writ­ing, to all you fellows) and one of the undergraduate students was rut­t ing the finishing touches on the job of carving his initials in the desk in Arabian scroll, and Wilberforce had just got his bicycle inside the door, when the professor looked down from his Olympus like some Hindu deity and said, "Just where the hell do you think you're going with that thing?" Well, Wilberforce was chewing gum at the time so he didn't hear him very

well; which was certainly no excuse for so jejune an action as that taken by the instructor, who jumped down from his pedestal of pedantry (ha­cha, eh, kid?) and started to take the bicycle away from h im. Now, you know as well as I do that Wilberforce is very sensitive about his bicycle and naturally, he put up a scrap, and the first thing you know this nicotine­stifled pedagogue had his big foot caught in the sprocket (which cer­tainly wasn't Wilberforce's fault) and then he got his other foot on the other pedal, and before Wilberforce could stop him he had pedalled him­self ·right into the scrap basket and smashed up the front wheel pretty badly. Now, what we want to know is, Mr. Editor, what is to 'be done? In short, won't you support us in our Equal-Rights-for-W. Rover's-Bicycle movement?

We realize that you have not heard from us in quite a while; perhaps a word about our recent activities would not be amiss. (For amiss is as good as amile! Not bad for a beginner, was it?) In our last adventure, en­titled "The Rover Boys in Chapel" or How Tom Got Rid of His Mongo­lian Penny, our readers followed us through several jolly antics (see "Snowball-down-Mr. Watters'-neck" antic and "Cow-in-Crypt" antic). Wilberforce has received his twenty­seventh notice from the Dean that he has been expelled from college, but you know Wilbel,force-a Tartar if there ever was one. He's fooling the faculty by going to classes just the same. · Dick, of the brown serious eyes, has written several letters to the Tripod under the nom de plume of "Just 18" asking why he couldn't major in Bread Bending instead of horsing around with the English language or some equally trivial nui­sance. Wilberforce has also become quite a social influence and is now going steady with a sophomore at Miss Blatchford's-Seminary-for-the­Slightly-Simple, where he is given a great rush at all the week-end dances.

With very best wishes, (Signed) TOM ROVER,

DICK ROVER. P. S.-Please give your full atten­

tion to the bicycle fund. Wilberforce is threatening to sue.

COMMUNICATION Editorials Written In English,

and That's All, Says Critic To the Editor of the Tripod:

The editorials which appear faith­fully in each issue of the Tripod are Wl·itten in English. When you say this, you have given them their just dues. If you add anything more favorable, either you write the edito­rials yourself, or you don't read the Tripod. I have never been able to figure out how the editorial staff turns out such consistent perform­ances; it really is a revelation. I mean, after all, you'd expect that once in a while the law of averages would catch up with one or the other of the writers. But no! the powers behind our editorials are wonderfully diligent young men. Time and again they have shown that they can pro­duce the driest, dullest, most uninter­esting stuff that could possibly pass by the board.

But perhaps I am too hasty; maybe the -law of averages will catch up with them before the term is over. If it ever does-well, all I can say is that we're going to be in for some of the cleverest editorial comment that print has ever known. We can all d;op our books and spend our evenings reading page two of the Tripod, because, if our editorial writers decide to make amends for past productions and determine to balance the good with the bad, it's going to be one edifying page for the next two months.

The subject-matter used in the edi­torials is passable-in fact, there is a strong possibility that it might be read, if only it were put forward in an interesting manner. Of course, at this point we ought to mention a slight difficulty; the subject-matter is not put forward in an interesting man­ner. As I have said, the writers use the English language. That's an admirable start; and there's nothing like getting off on t he r ight foot. But t he trouble is that there are many ways of using the E nglish language. Unfortunately, our editorialists have

I OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT MADE CONCERNING THREE

GRADUATE FELLOWSHIPS Applications Should Be Filed

at College Office Up Until March 22

The College has asked The Tripod to publish the following announce­ment, which concerns the annual award to members of the Senior Class of three graduate fellowships :

There are three Graduate Fellow­f'hips which may be awarded to mem­bers of the present Senior Class for the academic year 1934-35. Full de­scription of these is given on page 87 of the College Catalog.

Applications for one of the H. E. Russell Fellowships, the W. H. Rus­sell Fellowship and the Mary A. Terry Fellowship may be made by addressing the Secretary of the Fac­ulty at the College Office. Such ap­plications should state what plans the applicant has for his graduate study and ·what preference, if any, he may have between the different Fellow­ships.

It should be noted that of the three Fellowships, the W. H . Russell may be awarded for study at a Profession­al School such as a Law School or Medical School. The H. E . Russell Fellowship and the Teny Fellowship are awarded only for non-professional study.

According to the catalog, applica­tions sh ould be on file by March 15. Due to the absence on sabbatical leave of the Secretary of the Faculty, there has been some delay in calling· atten­tion to the award of these Fellow­ships, and accordingly applications may be received up to noon on March 22.

W E'D like you to see Chesterfields made. We know you'd be im­

pressed by the absolute cleanliness of our factories.

The tobaccos are the best that money can buy.

Expert chemists test for cleanliness and purity all materials used in any way in the manufacture of Chesterfield cigarettes.

The factories are modern throughout. Even the air is changed every4lh minutes.

When you smoke a Chesterfield you can be sure that there isn't a purer ciga­rette made.

In a letter to us an eminent sci­entist says: rrchesterfields are just

as pure as the water you drink. "
