PAUL HARRIS AGAIN SPEAKS
TO UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
Urges Prevention of War In Highly Acclaimed Speech—Signifi- cant Events of Past Year Reviewed—Placidity Considered Amazing
In a brief but cursory review of the past year's political and interna- tional relations in assembly last week Thursday, Paul Harris, well- known peace advocator, brought out the fact that the youth of the United States is greatly interested in deter- mining how to prevent the onslaught of war rather than asking themselves whether or not they will bear arms in case of war. This new aspect on the part of intelligent people both inside and outside of the institutions of learn ing, Mr. Harris regards as a very en- couraging indication of a significant step forward toward world peace.
However, he stated that he is amazed at the absolute placidity with which the adults of our nation have accepted the events of the year that is fast coming to a close.
It has seen the death of liberalism and democracy in Italy; Turkey em- b a r k e d o n i t s second ten-year plan; Mussolini strengthening air, army and naval forces; the polite banishment of Balbo the popular idol from a position of political responsi- bility; the backward step of Monte- video toward regionalism rather than planetarism.
Since the close of the World War in 1917, when it was agreed by all the countries concerned that they would disarm, there has been an increase of 197% in armaments. Recently how ever, an international council has been formed to supervise the manufacture' of arms which is another evidence of progress toward the goal.
The speaker then emphasized the need for keeping the United States callaborating for the strengthening of the collective countries of the world;
to continue our policy of the good neighbor which President Roosevelt set forth in his inaugural address. He also made it clear that it would be a very diplomatic move to have Norman H. Thomas immediately sent back to Geneva, w'here his services are so greatly needed to stabilize a ferment- ing convocation.
In conclusion, Mr. Harris urged the assembly to take a more active inter- est in this work since it is the present generation that will have to bear the brunt of the next war, and to "snap out" of The general lassitude which characterizes the attitude of so many individuals toward an objective demon- stration of interest in a definite move- ment toward world peace.
Later in the afternoon at 3:30 in Kenyon Hall, all those further inter- ested in conferring with Mr. Harris kad the opportunity to develop dis- cussions of a more varied nature.
They centered about the Hitler regime which the speaker thought had reach- ed the top and must now begin to
CHEM PROF SHOWS LIQUID AIR WORK
Dr. Paul E. Saunders, professor of chemistry at Alfred University, is scheduled this week to give six demon- stration's with liquid air, appearing in the public schools of Painted Post, Perryvill, Norfolk, Watertown, Rome and Camden.
Dr. Saunders began his public demonstrations Oct. 14, 1926, with a program in the regular assembly at Alfred University. Since that time he has given 288 such demonstrations appearing in 6 colleges, 21(5 high schools, and 30 Rotary clubs. Other demonstrations were for church groups, lodges or civic clubs. His work has taken him over most of New York and into several other states.
This week he appears at Painted Post, Tuesday morning; Perryville, Wednesday, Nov. 22d; Norfolk, Thurs- day morning; Watertown, Thursday afternoon; Rome, Friday morning;
Camden, Friday afternoon.
DR. A. L. JONES PRES- ENT AT ASSEMBLY
Dr. A. L. Jones, director of admis- sions a t Columbia University, was present at the weekly assembly, Thursday. He was here in the inter- est of Phi Beta Kappa, and spoke a few words of greeting before the introduction of Paul Harris. Dr.
Jones remarked on how much he felt Alfred University had advanced scho- lastically as well as materially in the past ten years, since his first visit here.

FIAT LUX JOINS ^ NEWS GROUP
The Fiat Lux was voted member- ship in the Intercollegiate Newspaper Association last Saturday at the Con- vention of the Association held at Baltimore.
Many prominent men were present and spoke on the various topics re- lated to the editing and circulation of a college newspaper.
The object of the I. N. A. is to im- prove the quality of the college news- paper by imparting to its members the varied experience of the other members of the Association.
Cups are offered each semester for the "best editorials and news make up of all the newspapers in the organiza- tion.
The Association was founded in May, 1919. Its present members in- clude: Barnard, Wilson, Elmira, Al- fred University, Villanova, Maryland College for Women, Carnegie Insti- tute, University of Rochester College for Women, Elizabethtown College, Bucknell, Drexel, Dickinson, Pitts- burgh, Temple, Lehigh, Swarthmore, Haverford, Hopkins, Brooklyn, George Washington, Delaware, Washington and Jefferson, Gettysburg, Stevens In- stitute of Technology, Franklin and Marshall, Ursinus, Muhlenburg, Sus- quehanna, Juniata, Lebanon Valley, Allegheny, Cedar Crest and Cooper Union.
The achievement of this goal has been the aim of the entire staff this year. It is hoped that the Fiat Lux will benefit by this national affiliation to produce a paper wnich will add prestige to its own name as well as that of Alfred University.
William J. Henning, editor of the Fiat Lux, was appointed to a com- mittee on investigation of methods of election of staff officers of college newspapers. ^ ^

SCIENTIST TO SPEAK BEFORE FACULTY
A special meeting of the Univer- sity faculty has been called Satur- day, November 25th at 8 P. M. in So- cial Hall, to hear Dr. Edwin H. Lewis, Dean of the Lewis Institute in Chi- 'jago, who will speak on "The last 67 years in Science". Invitations have been sent to those whom it was Lhought would1 be interested, but any- one is welcome.
The Alfred University Cross Coun- try team defeated Army at West Point, 22-33, in a race which was never in doubt after the first five men had crossed the line, as Kern, the hitherto undefeated Army star, was the only cadet to prevent a blanket finish for the first four places.
It remained for Mulligan, who finished tenth to complete the scoring for the Saxons. Oldfield and Java finished in a dead heat for the first position close- ly followed by Captain TenBroeck, and Kern of Army. The two latter men staged a spectacular dual for the im- portant third position, the Army man foarely nosing out Teddy at the tape.
Minnick, who ran with TenBroeck most of the distance was but a few yards behind these two.
At the half way mark the Alfred team had the first four places, Army had one and Prior was holding the sixth spot. The promising sophomore developed a stitch, which combined with an injured ankle, aggravated by the treacherous course, prevented his finishing the race. Although the weather was fine for cross country running, the course was "badly rutted from cavalry maneuvers of the past week, making record time impossible.
In spite of this the first five men made the second best time of the year.
With four straight victories, the (Continued on page four) Shakespeare's "Julius Caesar" pre-
ented by James Hendrickson and Jlair Bruce and their company mark- ed the first appearance of a profes- sional dramatic organization on the University campus in many years.
The players who appeared here are making a praiseworthy effort to present the vital, stimulating works of Shakespeare in all of their artistic beauty to the high schools and col- leges of the country. Theirs is rather
thankless task. Receiving little financial remuneration for their work, they have been appearing at high chools and colleges throughout the country, for the past three years. At- tendance at a single Shakespeare per- formance by competent actors is more beneficial to the student than innum- rahle classroom recitations and lec- tures of dull, academic sort usually included in high school courses in the drama.
Mr. Hendrickson and Miss Bruce and their company have presented Shakespearean plays for seven years and have toured with enviable suc- cess in forty-one states from Maine to Texas and from the Pacific North- west to Florida. They have played in the principal educational institu- tions in this country, including the Military Academy at West Point.

not.
At the Gym on the Tuesday night before Thanksgiving vacation, there will be given by the Y. W. C. A. and A. U. C. A. an All-College Harvest Masque—a "Hard-times" Social, be- ginning at 8:30 o'clock. Dr. Camp- bell has consented to give the movie at 6:30 in order that every student may attend the party and Dean De- gan has granted 12:15 permission for the girls. A prize for the most original "hard-times" costume will be awarded.
With every obstacle out of the way, and knowing that the A. U. C. A. is responsible for most of our famous Assembly speakers, each student should make it a point to buy a ticket. All-college—that means every student one of you, as well as each faculty one of you. The price will not "break" anyone. There will be a representative selling tickets at each sorority house, every fraternity house, Bartlett, Outside and at the Brick.
Here is a mere hint of the fun in store—games, round and square "old- time" dancing, and, finally, to the strains of one of our well-known orchestras, modern dancing. Let's rouse up some good old-fashioned-hard- times enthusiasm for this party and j through our concerted efforts make it uch a success that we can rave about it all Thanksgiving vacation.
PRESIDENT SPEAKS TO ROTARIANS
President Titsworth is to speak be- fore the Exchange Club in Hornell, Tuesday evening, and before the El- mira Rotary Club, Friday noon. On Sunday, he will preach in place of Chaplain McLeod at the Union church service.

Which Shall It Be?
"Breathes there a man with soul so dead, Who never to himself hath said
This is my own, my native land?"
Many of you know this excerpt, but how many of you realize the proximity of this to yourself? You realize that war is a gross violation of every moral—Peace is inborn in man, but its scarcely audible voice is drowned out by the flood of indifference which seems to be prevalent in the minds of so many.
All this is merely an invocation to you, readers of this sugges- tion, a plea in behalf of a movement for establishment of Peace as a substitute for war, in your mind. It really isn't such a terribly difficult thing to do. Threats are foolish warnings, which though ominous, only serve to make one disregard the question more.
Appeal to your common sense is most effective.
This modern generation has been accused of everything which could be adopted to fit us. Yet, most of the improvements made in civilization may be attributed to the modern generations of all time. Now here is a test for your mettle. The whole world has been trying to gain Peace without success. With just a little thought and application to the matter you can swing it.
Think of the benefits derived, think of the subject as a whole, not as abstract but as a possibility. The effect upon our country would be a record for posterity if—you only put yourself to a study of conditions as they are, the workings of our government.
Declare vourself outright. What do you think?

J. J. Merrill, a graduate of Alfred University in 18S4, and a member of the New York State Tax Commission, has written an article, "The Tax Glut- tons," which appears in the October issue of the Tax Magazine. This ar- ticle takes the form of an exposition of New York State's tax dilemma with definite proposals for relief. Mr. Mer- rill is considered an authority on taxa- tion, and his article should be of con- siderable interest to many.
Charles P. Rogers, A. U. 1888, a member of. Holmes, Rogers and Car- penter Law firm in New York City, was recently elected to the Board of Trustees to take the place of William C. Hubbard of Plainfield, N. J., who died last summer.
In a recent letter to President Tits- worth, President Emeritus Davis wrote that he had just planted thirty-two ruse bushes, which he fully expects will be in bloom by Christmas time, when the Titsworths visit them at their home in Daytona Beach, Florida.
To snowbound Alfredians this seems very optimistic.

RUTH P. GREENE By Margery Sherman
Miss Ruth Greene is a true Al- fredian—was born here, "raised" here, loves it, and always will. She was educated in the Alfred public schools and Alfred University. After gradua- tion from Alfred University in nine- teen twenty-nine, she received an ap- pointment as Assistant Librarian in the College library. This year she is the Acting Librarian, after having re- ceived a B. L. S. in Library Science at Columbia.
When Miss Greene was ten years old she "began a history of England, but her interest flagged after she had finished a long, highly colored descrip- tion of the Picts and fine chariots of the Romans with knives on the wheels. After that she betook herself to the creation of long fantastic stories in which witches and gromes abounded. In high school she went in for essay writing and won a prize.
During College she wrote short stories and won more prizes. Someday s'he hopes to find 'time in which to write a novel—but now contents herself by writing for the Alfred Sun and the Fiat Lux.
He life is devoted with a deep seat- ed loyalty to the upbuilding of the University library and to the high standards of service for which it stands. Polite and considerate, she gives the borrowers at the library the impression that the profit she gets in lending them a book is secondary to the satisfaction of seeing that they get just the right one. She has an amazing memory for names and faces and literary tastes. This, supported by a sense of literary values and an orderly business mind, go far to- ward making the ideal librarian.
Even the common places of life have a spark for her. She is alert to what is new in world affairs and in books. She has fun, likes people, reads for pleasure as well as busi- ness, and spends much time alone.
Miss Greene says: "I have prob- ably one of those scatter-brained minds that psychologists have little use for because I am interested in many things, and have no particular hobby. My chief ambitions in life are to have a home in the city, to see more of the world and to write at some time in my life a book worthy of being a best-seller."
By Ruth Greene MRS. POMFRET SMITH
VISITS THE LIBRARY According to a somewhat ancient joke, the tallest building in town is die library—because it has the most stories. The real truth is that not all the stories come ready made to
| the library. Many dramas are enact- j ed before the librarian for the first
time and for one performance only.
"Just tell Miss that Mrs. J.
Pomfret Smith is here, will you? Oh, here you are. Oh my dear, you've got your things on. Are you going home? You're not very tired are you?
I've got to read a paper before the Twenty Minute Culture Club, on the 'Decadence of French Literature' and I know you will help me look up these books. It won't take you but a jiffy, I'm sure."
It was now five-thirty o'clock, and the librarian had just until seven o'clock to do three necessary errands, get home to her dinner, and come back to reopen the library. But she smiled pleasantly at Mrs. J. Pomfret Smith, who had already produced her list and begun to talk again.
"Oh dear, these horrid French names. I can't manage them, but I've got to get this paper ready. Now, this says to look up Alfred de Muwzet
—he wrote novels, didn't he, or.am I thinking of Dammus? Anyhow get some of his books; translations of course, and is Marie Corelli, French?
She sounds so, doesn't she? And who is Decameron? He isn't modern, is he? Then I want some novel by Lote-eye. He's the man who went crazy from drinking absinthe and shot himself in the cafe, where he used to write poetry, isn't he? Or was that Ouida? No, she was a woman, but was she French? Her name was "de la" something, so I suppose she was."
Mrs. Smith interpolated these bits of literary gossip during the librarian's trips to the catalog, the book stacks
! and the issue desk. Miss
lugged out the armfuls of books. The clock went from five-thirty to six o'clock.
"There's a critic I want to ge hold of what's his name? Oh yes, St.
Boove, have you any of the books of St. Boove? I want something to sum up the whole period. Dear me, is that clock right? Why its five after six.
Take these books with me?—gracious, no. I don't want them now, and I couldn't carry all of those. I'll come around next Tuesday and look them over here. I wanted to be sure that you'd gotten them all, and you've been perfectly lovely. Now, you just put them away somewhere, where nobody will get any of them, will you? I know its against the rules, but I guess it will be all right."
The librarian retired to her office putting a final polish to the annual report. "Cooperation and helpfulness are the keynotes of our library ser- vices," she wrote.

INQUIRING REPORTER
Question: What is a friend?
John Orzano '36: It is a person with whom you can dare to be your- self. Your soul can go naked with know exactly what this organization | him. He seems to ask of you to put
on nothing, only to be what you are.
He does not want you to better or worse. When you are with him you feel as a prisoner feels who has been declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you genuinely think, as long as it is genuinely you.
He understands those contradic- tions in your nature that leads others to misjudge you. With him you breathe freely. He is but a true friend; to whom you may impart griefs, joys, fears, hopes, suspicions, counsels, hates, and viscious sparks, your meanness and absurdities, and in opening them up to him they are lost, dissolved on the white ocean of his loyalty; he understands.
You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. It matters not. He likes you. He is like fire that purifies all you do. He is like water that cleanses all you say.
He is like wine, that warms you to the bone. He understands, he under- stands. You can weep with him, laugh with him, sin with him, and pray with him. Through and under- neath it all he sees, knows, and loves you.
A friend is one with whom you dare to be yourself. '

By Elizabeth Hallenback Coach John Galloway enjoys his work. For three years he has coached football, basketball, and track at Al- fred University. Each year, whether victorious or not, the results have been gratifying and well worth the worry and regrets when the boys did- n't come through.
Interest in football began in Cam- bridge High School. While he was there, this small school in eastern New York, maintained the sectional champions'hip for three years in spite of opponents such as Albany, Troy and Amsterdam. With such an en- couraging start Coach Galloway began three weeks of pre-season practice at Union College. However the begin- ning of the school year found him one of Colgate's freshman squad and cap- tain of Colgate's first undefeated freshman team.
College brought many interests.
Coach Galloway was affiliated with Phi Kappa Psi fraternity. He parti- cipated in track and lacrosse as well as football. For three years he was president of his class.
From Colgate, Coach Galloway went into the "trouble shooting" depart- ment of the New York Telephone Com-
| pany. After ten months work with a j Wheatstone bridge, the f o o t b a l l I season came and he could not resist I the thoughts of pigskins, mud and touchdowns. Cambridge High School had a sucessful season under his capa- ble coaching and the spring of 1930,
! found Coach Galloway engineering spring practice at Alfred University.
From observation, Coach Galloway thinks the differance between the life- of a co-educational school and a men's college is interesting. The student is more informal on a campus where there are no girls. The chief objec- tion to a non-coeducational campus, perhaps, is the natural social life.
Fellows live for week-ends. Much valuable time and energy is wasted in planning them and "tearing out".
An occasional date on the campus dur- ing the week alleviates this.
Coach and Mrs. Galloway prefer living in a small town. During the summer they are on the road most of the time as their homes are on differ- ent sides of the Adirondacks. When he has "time out" the Coach enjoys to hunt and fish, and an occasional detective story is a good relaxation.
Coach likes the association with col- lege men. His hopes for the future are these young men and the suc- cess of their lives.
Y. W. C. A. NOTES
The Y. W. C. A. was honored this week by the presence of Professor Burdick as speaker. His speech was a challenging one, touching on prob- lems we are now facing or will have to face in the future, such as:—war, religion, sociolgy, economics, and sex.
His everlasting question was, "What a r e we going to do about them?"
He spoke from a biologist's point of view and said he /believed the Christian way of living to be the best.
He also stated that he believed in a group such as the Y. W. C. A., and thought it well able to do something worthwhile. He mentioned that it isn't quantity that counts in a group like this,-but quality.
A letter has been sent, signed by the Y. W. C. A. members, to President Roosevelt supporting him in his move- ments toward peace and urging him to send Norman Davis back to Geneva.
Fanny the Frosh says, "she likes Fiat Lux but Ivory is just as good for getting the dirt.

Everything went all rig'ht except that Harrell Cleaves called for the wrong girl and Teta returned with a black eye. He claims the cause was lack of sleep.
Congratulations, cross country team.

Exams! Just one word but oh!
the meaning that those five letters contain. Many of us in the past week have discovered that there really are some pictures in our text books.
Other strange and unknown things were revealed to us in those same books, which we daily carry to class.
Campus! Another peculiar word but with more than one meaning.
When the word is mentioned to an Alfred Co-ed it brings about the queer- est reaction. Those in doubt as to its significance may be referred to Thea.
After running every day all week in weather that most of us dreaded to walk in, the cross country team surely deserved their victory over Army, Saturday.

For the past few days the girls have been smelling something burn- ing—wood to 'be exact. No, it wasn't the house. Just wood in the furnace.
Friday afternoon, the freshman girls were entertained at tea. The house was filled with yellow button crysanthe- murns and candle light. Mrs. Boraas, Mrs. Scholes, Miss Nelson and Miss Fosdick poured for us.
Sunday afternoon, the faculty came up for tea, and found the house as warm inside as the color outside promised. Mrs. Paul E. Titsworth, Mrs. Place, Mrs. Rogers and Mrs. Bas- sett poured for the tea.
We arc now having difficulty trying to decide which way to approach the house—by road, by path, or by stile.
Any way they all lead to the same place so we can't get lost.

Ask Charlotte Jasombeck how she likes the south, as she was sent to South Carolina as representative of our W. S. G. Now we know where all our little quarters go when we flunk the W. S. G. test. Virginia Boyd is planning on sending some one to
New York soon with the money W.
S. G. collects from her.
We're wondering why Kappa Psi doesn't rent a floor at the Brick.
Just ask "Bobby" about it.
Brick Mystery No. 1—Why is it Betty J. thinks electrons fill up holes and go around in circles
Our solution to the question "where!
did 'Sefty' get that black eye?" is, that he went to Dansville with Doug.
Who is the lucky girl up here that | is getting the big rush from the "stag line" at all the after dinner dances?
The latest bit of gossip is that there j is to be a "diet table" in the dinning j room. Of course the names of its..
members is to be a great big secret.!
This is a break for the waitresses, j incidentally, because about all they:
will have to put on will be water and toothpicks. i
Bartlett Dorm
Say, fellows, did you see the snow- man the girls at the Brick made? I s ! that all you can make—girls?
The second floor is greatly grieved over the moving of "Cosmopolitan"
Beers to the third floor. Dr. Beers j (L.L. D., Ph. D., M. A., B. A.) has ' often told of his experiences in all of the forty-eight states, Canada, Mex- ico, Vera Cruz and Asia Minor. Yes, he has even been to Africa. He will talk on any subject you call for Theo- logy, Philosophy. Psychology and As- tronomy are his "pets".
Ben Racusin, that Philadelphia flash, has talked of nothing else but the tackle he made in the Frosh game two weeks ago. The other night while that "intellectual group" was discussing the Cuban, situation in Doug Nevins' room, the door opened and in walked Ben. "Say fellows did you hear about my tackle?" Almost as a I group all rose and ran for the door.
No it wasn't Frankenstein. It was Racusin and his tackle that did that.
As he so modestly puts it, "I'm no Lily when I play football".
You must all get "Chuck" Riley, one of our councilors, to do that speci- alty number of his, the one with the pumpkin pie.
.Say Nagie how about returning that Frank Merriwell you borrowed from Dodd, or was it a Nick Carter?
Patchogue Charlie naa given his permission, and has again requested that his name be seen in print. There I it is, Charlie, do you need the pub- j licity?
"BLESSED EVENTS"
By John Orzano
"Bill Henning and "Scoop" Hopkins said that they will give us a report as to what goes on in Baltimore. I het they leave out the details.
Last week, "Eddie" Lerz asked for a remedy for "falling hair". I'd sug- gest to use Dr. Guillotin's method.
Guaranteeded to be effective or money refunded.
Who is the Junior that contemplates opening a "Beauty Shoppe" on the campus in the near future? You can't guess.
Speaking of shops, Cibella has opened his "Bartering Emporium" in the "Campus Club". Ross says, "come one, come all, and peel a grape while you have your ears mowed down".
He'll furnish the grapes.—Adv.
The "Lucky Strike" salesman took a beating when he started to pass out cigarettes among t h e fraternities. I didn't know that so many fellows smoked "Luckies". Neither did the salesman.
When is Henning going to hold "the funeral" in Burdick Hall.
I wonder why so many "wall flow- ers" go up to Social Hall? It might interest you to know that there are only .5366 girls to every 1.8640 boys.
The famous "Chiselers Club" has challenged the "Campus Club" to a basketball game. First, I thought that they were going to fight it out to see who would get the monoply on the campus rackets.
In George Washington's time ice cream was a novelty, but now, well why not take "Doc" Saunders' advice,
"eat ice cream and keep warm".
Place—Kenyon Hall.
Time—Exam week.
?—One Frosh, one Soph.
Soph—"Many a person has taken a beating in this room."
Frosh—"S' funny, I've never seen any blood on the seats."
Several of the faculty were stand- ing in front of the Post Office early Saturday morning waiting for others to gather as they were about to leave for a conference at Geneva. A bakery truck from out of town drove up to the restaurant and the driver seeing them called out, "Where do you play today, boys?"
Somebody asked Fanny the Frosh
"where she was going to take her major," and she said, "she didn't know any West Pointers."

SLANTS
By Chaplain James C. McLeod
With fields and courses white with snow, we take the look ahead at the schedule of sports winter has f o r us. But before wo do that a word of comment on the fall records—thus far—for the harriers have not yet completed their schedule, with the Middle Atlantics coming up next Monday.
The record of the two fall sports teams warrant more than passing comment.
The football team with three wins, a tie and two losses, faced worthy opposi- tion all but the Cooper Union game, and have set a mark at which all future teams must shoot. The Cross Country team, w i t h only the Cornell race to mar a perfect season is the equal of any previous team within our recollection. Such judgment is based on not only wins and losses, but individual performances, team balance, and all the other requisites of a good team.
S—L—S
The court squad faces rugged opposition in every game, with nary a breather between December and March. There is one advantage in the set up however, in that a major portion of the games are to be played in the Davis Gym. Coach Galloway has reason to feel hopeful for a good basketball record, with a splendid nucleus of Varsity letter men and veterans, as well as most of last year's fine yearling aggregation, from which to build a fine Varisty. At this writing it would seem that there are at least two good men for every position, a situation seldom experienced by any Alfred coach. We look to see one of the best seasons, for, after all—isn't this Alfred's year?
S—L—S
Coach Felli was almost forced to wrestle his way through the swarm of candidates who stormed the gymnasium. As is usually the case, many of the men are inexperienced, but under his able coaching, and w i t h a fair nucleus of veterans, the Varsity grapplers are certain to make a commend- able showing. It is regretable that the status of wrestling was in question for so long, as there is not a little difficulty in arranging a schedule of satisfactory length and opposition. We hope that a sufficient number of matches may be scheduled to keep the large squad on their toes—(or should say, on top)—throughout the season.
S—L—S
The charmed circle tightens and each passing week finds fewer and fewer undefeated and untied teams within. The most conspicuous Humpty Uumpty act of this week was the failure of Purdue to win, and closely following it was the failure of Michigan to eke out even a close one from Minnesota. One can hardly say they were unexpected, as Iowa had pointed for Purdue and Minnesota had no defeats, and everything to gain in the Michigan set-to. Georgia toppled in the south, but Princeton remained top favorite in the east. Yale does not look, on its season's record, to be capable of stopping the Orange and Black, ttut those traditional games are always a big gamble. Nebraska's defeat by Pitt eased the Cornhuskers out of the picture.
S—L—S
Coming up, we see a great Army team being put to its hardest test by a Navy eleven which has met the best and is in a good spot to end the reign of the Cadets. The Army is picked to w i n and there is an air of confidence on the plains of West Point, but for all that we are pulling for (not picking) Navy. The Big Blue Boys of Yale should top the Crimson and spread gloom in Harvard Yard.. We have a feeling that Notre Dame w i l l shoot the works against Southern California. It looks even. The same goes for Stanford and California, with the former holding a slight edge.
A L F R E D - A R M Y (Continued from page one) team will now be pointed for the im- portant Middle Atlantic States Cham- pionship race, next Monday, November 27th, over the Van Courtlandt Park course. The schedule was made with this meet in mind and the team has added distance with each ensuing meet, and barring further handicaps from adverse weather should be ready.
It is planned to have the team run in Hornell at least twice this week in order that the men may become ac- customed to the level stretches.
Coach McLeod has decided on the first six men, TenBroeck, Java, Old- field, Minnick, Mulligan and Cibella, but the seventh position is still in doubt. There is little liklihood that Prior will be able to run, so the sev- enth place will be given to Knapp or Tolbert.
On the seasons records, Rutgers will furnish the Purple harriers, their Hardest competition, and Bernie Wef- ers, t h e Rutgers coach boasts of one of the best individual performers in the east in Smith. Lafayette and Le- high have had but fair success thus far. Manhattan and Union will not be starters, the former having with- drawn from the Association and Union completed its season yesterday in I. C. 4 A Meet. On the ability of a fifth man to close the big gap in the scoring balance which now exists, de- pends the result of the meet.
The order of finish and score of the Alfred-Army race follows:
1. Java (A) 27.31 2. Oldfield (A) 27.31 3. Kern (Army) 27.40 4. TenBroeck (A) 27.40.2 5. Minnick (A) 27.51 6. Bryer (Army) 27.52 7. Hildebrand (Army) 27.55 8. Breakfield (Army) 27.57 9. Howell (Army) 28.23 10. Mulligan (A) 29.32

Two farmers met on a country road and pulled up their teams. "Si," said Josh, "I've got a mule that's got dis- temper. What did you give your'n when he had it?"
"Turpentine. Giddap."
One week later they met again.
"Say, Si," said Josh, "I gave my mule turpentine and it killed him."
"Killed mine, too, Giddap."
