is hit above center it will, after'
striking the object ball, follow in

Tulane-North Carolina: Some ex-
perts can negotiate an extremely dif-

making this shot it is necessary to
hold the cue in a vertical position,
strike the cue ball on one side from
the top causing it to travel in a curve
without hitting any object. Tulane.

this game is to have the cue ball
strike three cushions before making
the billiard. It matters not a jot

striking the other or makes threes

Cornell-Penn State: Unlike other

kiss in billiards is when the cue ball,
in its flight around the table, is in-

It is most disheartening. Cornell.

Fencn Class
Taught Finer
Points Of Art
Tournaments To Be Held'
To Determine Campus
ChampsThis Year
By HAROLD WILSON
The clash of steel against steel-
echoes of the bygone era of D'Artag-
nan and the Three Musketeers are
being heard regularly at the Intra-
mural building these days as a group
of 20 enthusiastic athletes learn the
fine points of the art of fencing un-
der th direction of Ray Chambers,
'41.
One of the outstanding fencers
working out under Chambers, who
i thegcampus saberhchampion, is
John Dreher, '42. Dreher copped the
foil and epee titles at the All Cain-
pus tournament held last year and
has 'attained the rank of Intermedi-
ate in the Amateur Fencer's League
of America.
Meeting Monday, Wednesday and
Friday from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m., the
class is also aided in acquiring skill
and fencing technique by two gradu-
ate students, Stewart Peck and Sol
Karch, who are both well-known in
mid-west fencing circles.
Campus interest in the sport is
strongly evinced by the fact that in
addition to this group, there are ap-
proximately 60.other fencing enthusi-
asts drilling under Coach John John-
stone at Waterman Gymnasium. The
fencing movement has also gained
adherents among coeds on campus,
several members of Chamber's group
helping to instruct them in the art.
As late as 1932-33 fencing held
footing as a varsity sport at Michi-
gan, but in 1933 it was dealt a knock-
out blow by the depression, lack of
finances finally forcing a complete
curtailment of the sport.
At the present time fencing teams
are maintained at such colleges and
universities as Purdue, Chicago, Ohio
State, Illinois, Indiana, Northwes-
tern, Wayne and Michigan State.
Hope is strong for the revival of a
fencing team here and a movement
to this end is being put before the
Board in Control of Physical Edu-
cation.
Three fencing tournaments are
planned for the forthcoming year.
One will be held for beginners, an-
other will be conducted by Scimitar,
honorary fencing society, and the
third will be the anuual All-Campus
tournament.

Alabama Faces
Tennessee Vols
Unbeaten, Untied Teams
Risk Southern Record
KNOXVILLE, Tenn., Oct. 20.-R),
--Two great undefeated and untied
football teams-Alabama's Crimson
Tide and Tennessee's Volunteers-
relaxed tonight in¢quiet spots away,
from the bedlam of downtown Knox-
ville, awaiting their classic gridiron
struggle tomorrow afternoon.
On the eve of this make-or-;
break football "natural," the Ten-
nessee gridders, coached by a wily'
retired army officer, Major Bob
Neyland, ruled a slight favorite over,
the "Big Red" of Alabama, profes-
sored by Frank Thomas, who is about'
as foxy as they come in a gridiron
way.
At the close of light limbering up:
drills this afternoon, both coaches:
announced they would start their
strongest lineups, indicating they in-
tended to roll up their sleeves and
let the chips - championship and
"bowl" hopes-fall where they may.

Pro Footbal Boss
Gets Public iss
For Teim's Scores
WASIHINGTON, Oct.20.--OP)--The
offensive power of the Washington
redskins is making their president,
George P. Marshall, one of the frost-
kissed men in America.
For a couple of seasons now, Mar-
shall and his wife, the former Cor-
rine Griffith of the movies, have
had an agreement about Redskin
touchdowns.
Everytime the team gets one, hus-
band Marshall gets a public kiss.
The Marshalls, who attend every
game together, were off to a slow
start this year.
Only one grand stand kiss in three
weeks!
Then things began to happen.
The Redskins played the Brook-
lyn Dodgers and scored six touch-
downs. Smack, six kisses on the 50-
yard line.
The next week the Redskins wal-
loped Pittsburgh, 44 to 14. Smack
seven kisses.
Thirteen kisses before 50,000 foot-
ball fans in a couple of weekends.
