Playing of Tennis MatchesMust Be Soon As Possible

The approach of bad weathermakes it absolutely necessarythat all players entered in boththe freshman and upperclassmantennis tournaments play theirmatches as soon as possible.

If the matches are not playedby the time scheduled for eachround, the man in the lower brac-ket will positively forfeit thematch to the player in the upperbracket.

It will be well worth while tocome out on time and try to winbecause awards will be made tothe winners of both tournaments,and the results will have an im-portant bearing on choice of thevarsity- and freshman tennisteams in the spring.

Pools Used For Testing Models

A fully equipped towing tank tocost about $35,000 is one of the fea-tures of President Compton's expan-sion program. The tank will be usedfor experimenting with models oftypes of hulls under various condi-tions.

It would be about 150 feet long, tenfeet wide, and six feet deep, probablymade of concrete, and would be in thebasement of building five.

The study of models in connectionwith the building of ships is not ex-tremely new as there was a basin inthe Washington Navy Yards as earlyas 1900. Among other tanks in var-ious parts of the world, there is one1000 feet long in Hamburg, Germany,one in Scotland 500 feet long thatProfessor James R. Jack worked with,and relatively shorter ones in New-port News and in the Stevens I-nsti-tute of Technology.

Members of the class of 1940 holdtheir last rally before Field Day at 5o'clock on October 26, in Room 5-330,it was announced today by FrederickJ. Kolb, Jr., Junior Class president,who is in charge of arrangements.The purpose of the rally is to build upenough enthusiasm to put the fresh-man out in front in the annual meetbetween the two lower classes.

All reports indicate a close battle,since the freshman teams are said tobe shaping up very well. An appealwas issued by the tug-of-war team,however, for more leavy men whowere willing to work out regularly.

At the same timethis work would serve to introducethe freshmen to the theory of thepatent structure and to some of themore obvious phases of patent work.In the opening lecture of the courseDr. Bush pointed out that the UnitedStates patent office has granted overtwo million patents, which means thatthe average engineer will find manypoints of contact with the patent sys-tem.

In Next Issue

With an unexpected show of

strength among the commuters, Pres-ident Roosevelt reduced GovernorLandon's lead in The Tech's strawvote from twelve to five to nine tofive.

Landon was only a six to five choiceQf the commuters, but because of tklesmall number voting compared withthe dormitory and fraternity vote, hismajority over Roosevelt was notgreatly reduced. The commuters' votewas Landon 331, Roosevelt 254, withabout fifty votes for minor candidates.This makes the combined result Lan-don 905, Roosevelt 519, others abouta hundred.

Before the last presidential electionhi 1932, The Tech ran a similar pollin which Hoover received 1334 votes,Thomas 319, and Roosevelt 300. Thisyear Roosevelt received a somewhatlarger percentage of the Technologyvote than Roosevelt and Thomas to-gether in 1932. Thomas received one-fifth the support this year that he re-ceived in '32, while the Communistparty was more than twice as strongas four years ago.

a widely diversified list of speakers.

The failure of three of the speakers

to appear, Mr. John W. Haigis, Mr.

lege teams contained hired players for the pur-pose of winning games and thereby drawingstudents to those schools, an effort was madeto hide these deals and pleas came from everydirection for the elimination of hired playersin the name of fair play and true sportsman-ship.

This fall, along with the new policy of com-mercializing the broadcasts of many of themajor college games, comes also the open hir-ing of players at certain universities. Thesenew policies have aroused no little criticismfrom the general public as well as from theeducational field.

But there have been several arguments infavor of even greater professionalism in ioot;-ball, for that is what the present trend is lead-ing to. Most logical is the suggestion of Pro-fessor Owen of our own Naval Department.He thinks that if football players are to behired at all, that the colleges should go to thelogical extreme and hire all players and havewholly professional teams. He sees no reasonwhy every player who endangers his body inthe strenuous manoevers of this game shouldnot be given an equal chance to reap the mon-etary benefits. It certainly must be admittedthat the players at the present time receivemeagre compensali if i:rt hL^ r enudt-vo0 it

comparison to the gate receipts for the greatAmerican game.

The trend seems to be in the direction ofcomplete professionalism in football along withmany other sports including baseball, basket-ball, golf, tennis, and others. On the one handwe have the little prominent, purely profes-sional teams in a number of eastern cities. Onthe other hand we have leanings toward hiredplayers in college teams. The two seem to beacting as complementary forces toward a com-mon goal of a united and glorified sport of pro-fessional football. o

Pure professional football might rob thecolleges of maintaining the teams as drawingcards for enlarged enrollments, but it wouldhave the added feature of treating ail theschools alike and removing the present clamorof competition.

Gladys Cooper, Philip Merivale andcast stirred a dull audience to laugh-ter at the Shubert Theatre in theirfirst night performance in DodieSmith's wonderful comedy, "Call It ADay." It would perhaps be moreproper to put the emphasis on cast,for Jean Dante, Glenn -Anders, and"Catherine Hilton" (we don't knowher real name for it did not appearon the program) stood out equally asstrongly as the leading lady and thejuvenile.

Fantastic as the plot may be, it

As one would gather from the title,it all happens in between the hoursof 8:00 a.m. and 11:45 p.m. In thequiet town of London, as the chestnuttrees begin to blossom, love fills theair, perhaps a bit too full. At least itfalls all over the characters.

SCRIMS HANKERSLIGHT COMMUTERS' VOTE

NoOw that the commuters have been polled

for their presidential preferences in the

coming national election by The, Tech straw

vote, the all-Technology political picture takes

on a little different aspect. The margin for

Landon in this group is even smaller than that

in the dormitories.

Perhaps the narrow Republican margin of

about five to four among the commuters may

be attributed partially to the fact that a ma-

jority of the commuters are residents of great-

er Boston, and, even though we may be reluc-

tant to admit it, Curley has a sizeable follow-

ing in this locality.However, the commuters' vote was so light,

with less than 500 voting out of a total of

about eighteen hundred, that their strongerDemocratic leaning has little effect on thetotal Technology vote and does not alter it agreat deal from the previous two to one Re-publican margin set up by the combined fra-ternities and dormitories.

Although we realize that the method of poll-ing the commuters was a more difficult onethan that of the other two groups, at least a50 percent vote could be fairly expected. Thefact that a little more than a quarter of themdid vote, places them undeniably in a class ofslackers.

Last year Professor William Greene dubbedthem "scrimes". We add to that by classingthem as "a lunch of scrimshankers."

GOOD WORKSOPHOMORE DANCE

f8ONGRtATULATIONS should be in orderTto the Sophomore Dance Committee for

its extraordinarily good work thus far in thehandling of the plans for its coming dance.

Aithough they seem to have been opposedin their aspirations by the Institute Commit-tee Xwhich levied the somewhat excessive 300

dollar bond, the committee members have sur-momiated all difficulties, raised the bond amongthlel.s-eles. signed an exceptionally good band,and started on a campaign which is destinedto land them well on the other side of success.

Pelhalps it nigiht Ibe said that they werefoltunatle in being ( l-le to contract as good albandcl at such a low pi-ice. However, much ofthe success should be accredited to business-like ablility, and slide awake attitude of thecommittee, especiallv of its chairman.

The Sophomores are definitely on their toes.They deservre the support of all Technology in

their dance of next month.

The water used will probably be-fresh water and corrections will be_made to accommodate the effects ofsalt water and the temperatures actrually encountered. The tank can be.used for finding the effects of heelinga which is necessary in designing sail. boats, and may also be equipped -with-a device to create waves and thusstudy their effects.

The equipment will include a meansMof drawing the model through the water. One type of these consists ofea crane on a track that would dra mmtest IIlVUGX a § VL 2 9A ccr Re~v @ outtur n

Governor. Declaring that workmenunder the present econonic system are''mere items of expense and produc-tion," he pointed out that, while informer days the lands in the Westtook care of the men thrown out oftheir jobs by the introduction of ma-chinery, this was no longer the case."Depressions will come more and morefrequently," he asserted, "because thatsafety-valve for remedying unemploy-ment is jammed."

Only when the workmen, and notthe stockholders, have charge of theindustries, will they be run most ef-ficiently and to the most benefit forall.

Unite against war-HoodOtiS Eooa, Communist candidate for

Governor, aimed an attack against theRepublican party and the wealthybankers supporting it on the groundthat the monied interests made theirprofits out of trade, which in turn wasresponsible for most of our interna-tional wars. "The Republican partyis the main danger," he said. Citingthe various planks in the Communistplatform, he declared that the pur-pose of the Communist party is topresent the people as an organizedfront against all forms of republican-ism and fascism, which invariably leadto war.

Open forum questionsToo short a time remaining both

for the other speakers and the ques-tion period, President John J. Wallace,'38, of Tech Union, closed the speecheswhen Mr. Hood had finished. Gover-nor Curley had left previously. Oneof the questions posed to him was:"Was Hoover responsible for the de-pression?" His answer was, "Yes,because he lacked sufficient brains torun the job (of President)." Whenasked, "If you don't approve of scrap-ping machinery, why do you approveof destroying agricultural produce?"

the Governor's answer was that, ifthe Democrats hadn't, farmers wouldstill be getting nine cents a bushel forcorr..

Mr. Rowe was asked the question:"Can you deny the fact that, viewedfrom the basis of his Kansas record,where he employed soldiers and tearbombs to suppress wage strikes, Lan-don would not be a suitable man forPresident of the United States." Mr.Rowre declared that so far as he knew-it was not an established fact that re-lief in Kansas had been so restricted.

thinking" this election, he assertedthat "Roosevelt will carry more statesthis fall than he did in '32."

Rowe denounces Curley"You have just heard the most pow-

erful Democratic speaker in the stateof Massachusetts," declared Mr. Rowe,as he took the floor. Launching anattack against the administration ofthe Massachusetts Governor, he as-serted that Curley, in running for Sen-ator, was simply "passing the buck"to Mr. Hurley, who himself had notopenly approved or disapproved of theCurley administration. Mr. Rowe de-clared that the country in general wasfast reaching that point where itwould accept extravagance in the ad-ministration of public funds as a per-manent evil. "We cannot deny," hesaid, "that with the public debt in-creasinlg at its present rate, the na-tion will be plunged into insolvencywithin 3 or 4 years."

"Stupid gesture7--CurleyHaving come in late, just before the

first speaker had ended, Governor Cur-ley next took the floor. Denouncingthe Republican campaign slogan "Votefor Landon and Land in a Job" as a"stupid gesture, and the greatestlaugh of the century," Governor Cur-ley supported the vast spending ofthe Roosevelt administration as in-tended to keep "'16,000,000 people"from starvation. Declaring that "in-stitutions of this kind are largely re-sponsible for the conditions existingat the present time," he pointed outthat the only other alternative to ac-tually scrapping machinery and laborsaving devices was to make jobs byspending. Giving as his reason thefact that the people would "do some
