Mrs. Ruth Shartel McVoy, who was Let's get the ball a-rolling, a student at the university from 1903 And let us come back strong, to 1906, has written a book called "The To show our old friend, Grantland Traitor's Son."

While Ihe Wheel Kept on Turning Perpetual motion-that "quality" of mechanics the suggestion of which has caused the physicist to tear his hair, the inventor to get dopey with visions, and which has given the public appen- dicitis from swallowing whole, window displays of seeming impossibilities- has been achieved. A model in our own engineering col- lege is daily demonstrating the truth of the assertion and is causing the downfall of well-known, fundamental laws of physics and mechanics. The "Law of the Conservation of Energy" has taken an awful tumble, dragging with it the "Law of the Conservation of Mass" and knocking the props from under Sir Isaac Newton's three popu- lar hypotheses. "Laws of Friction" are shot full of holes and ,"Common Law" is going to be established in full legality. After many appeals the invention has been spread broadcast over the campus and anyone may view the ma- chine in the lower corridor of the en- gineering building. There in a corner of the hall is the machine. It is the left front wheel of-an automobile., The wheel, attached to the mounted chassis of a Studebaker, is revolving any time you look-all the time. No one is seen to touch the wheel. It does not get its power through a hidden spring or a belt in the axle. No invisible jet of air plays over the surface of .the rubber tire. The sur- rounding air is not especially sur- charged with electrons to coax the wheel around. Oh, no; the explana- tion is much simpler. Some one in an idle moment gave the wheel a turn to see if it would "go." It did, and it went for a long time. In fact, it's going yet, with the help of other turns administered in other idle moments, evidently with the theory that "one good turn deserves another." Each of the young engineers passing this point, and there is a constant stream of them, gives the wheel a kick. With their well-known liking for and understanding of "practical illustra- tions," they watch it spin and are brought to an immediate understand- ing of fundamental and complicated laws of mechanics and physics. Greased Pig Contest to Feature Game, Columbus, 0., Nov. 11-All fratern- ities and houseclubs will enter a man in the greased pig chasing contest, which will be held between the halves of the 0. S. U.-Oberlin game next Saturday. An entrance fee of fifty cents will be charged, and what is left of the animal will go to the man who catches him. AT THETHEATRESI "The Ware Case" at the Garrick "The Ware Case," which the Gar- rick company will offer at the Gar- rick theatre, Detroit, all next week,{ with Lou Tellegan as star, supported by Montague Love, Gladys Hanson,x Albert Bruning, and an unusual cast, has been termed a sensational mys- tery play of surprises. The audience is kept in doubt as to the trend of the story until the fall of the final cur- tain. The play is by George P. Bancroft,a son of Sir Squire Bancroft, who writes under the name of. George Pleydell, and was produced at the Wyndon theatre, London, where it has enjoyed long and continued success with Ger- ald du Maurier in the principal role. Despite the war excitement this play continues to exercise its hold upon the English public.' The first production is being made in Cleveland this week, and after the Detroit engagement the play goes directly to New York City. A mighty good bill is offered at the Majestic theater in the form of a min- iature musical comedy. W. B. Frie- lander, Inc., produces this play, which is written by Lou Hough, author of several good musical hits. Billy Kent is the comedian and is very clever. He is supported by a very good cast and a fair chorus. Among some of the best songs are: "Traveling," "Take a Jitney Ride," "On the Honeymoon Express," and "She Fell in Love With a Toreador." The scenery is good and the costumes are in keeping with the play.

It is the work of Victor Herbert and Henry Blossom, who have in the past given us "The Red Mill," "Mle. Modiste" and operas of that high standard. The production is under the management of its original producer, Joe Weber, who has kept the cast, chorus and or- chestra intact since it was seen in New York. Princeton's Rifle Team Gets Recruits Princeton, Nov. 11-Twenty candi- dates for the university rifle team and twelve candidates for the Freshman team reported at the first meeting held yesterday afternoon.

Seven members of last year's team have reported and prospects for a good showing this year are better this year than ever before.

One of "the team, nerally some one prominent in uni- rsity athletics, spoke to the boys of e school, and in addition to telling em of the university, invited them take part in the meetings which the am intended to hold. Banquets were held on Friday nights told the purpose of the team in visit- ing their community. On Saturday meetings with the local pastors were held in the morning, and the afternoon was spent in sports with the boys. The evening was devoted to a practical discussion of the sex prob- lem with the older ,boys of the town. Sunday afternoon the culmination of the trip came when the practical Christian life was put up to the boys by some member of the team. Gener- ally a meeting for the fathers was also held at this time. In the evening a union service of all the churches was held and three of the members ad- dressed the congregation on practical ways to better the boy life of the com- munity. The work this year will be on a larg- er scale than ever before, and the plan is to enlist about 100 university men for the purpose of making the trips. The accompanying cut shows one team engaged with the boys of a com- munity in a Saturday afternoon de- voted to sports. I WRITE FOR CATALOG y, I/ 25-4 7 E. Adams Street, Chicago /// I
