Oust Chicag From ig Ten Tat's What shu

By KARL KESSLER
Eighty-five to nothing was the
tragic score of an unimpressive foot-
ball "mismatch" Saturday in Chica-
go.
Humiliating for Chicago and cer-
tainly no feat for Michigan to be
over-proud about was the devastating
victory tallied by the maize and blue.
The rumor of replacing Chicago in
the Big Ten lineup is again circulat-
ing, and Chicago herself has pro-
fessed disinterest in "big time" col-
lege, football. The Daily inquiring
reporters therefore ask:,
THE QUESTION: Should Chicago

be replaced in the Big Ten, and if so,
by whom?"
THE ANSWERS:
Sue Flaningham '41
Sue Flaningham, '41: "Wouldn't it
be more fun to play ten teams in-
stead of nine? I think so, and I
should like to see Chicago replaced
by Notre Dame'for that tenth team.
They would certainly offer stiff com-
petition of Big Ten calibre." '
harry A. Kelsey, '41: "But definite-
ly, if Chicago would be willing to give
up her place. And why shouldn't
Pittsburgh be the logical team for
the opening? ' Pitt has shown interest

College Film Series
Is Directed By Grad
"My latest picture 'Dancing Coed'
is partly based upon my own experi-
ences at Michigan," S. Sylvan Simon,
'32, wrote in a recent letter to his
fraternity, Kappa Nu.
Simon, who is Hollywood's youngest
director, has been assigned to make
a series of college pictures of which
"Dancing Coed," now featured at the
Michigan Theatre is the second.
"I hope that all my friends on the
campus like my picture," Simon con-
tinued, "and if they look sharply, I'm
sure that they will recognize their
alma mater behind the name of Mid-
western."

'Father Dearborn'
o Be Resurrected
In New Publication
By AUDREY FLESHAM
"Old Father Dearborn" is coming
t4 life again. The journals of Hen-
ry Dearborn, called "Father" by those
who revere him as the founder of
Fort Dearborn,, the forerunner of the
city of Chicago,: are being published
by the Caxton Club of Chicago and
edited at the William L. Clements
Library.
Titled "The Revolutionary War
Journals of Henry Dearborn, 1775.
1783," the book contains also a bi-
ograplical sketch by Hermon Dun-
lap Smith of, Chicago, four contem-
porary maps of battles he was in, and
a portrait of him. Lloyd A. Brown,
curator of maps, and Howard H.
Peckhar, curator of manuscripts at
the Clements Library, are editors of
the book which will be published
in early December.
The only journals known which.
run for the complete duration of the
war, Dearborn's diaries are the more
interesting because they are an on-
the-scenes account of the battles.
Dearborn was a lieutenant colonel at
the end of the war and was .in a posi-
tion to know what the army was do-
ing., Active in nearly all of the pro-
minent campaigns of the Revolution-
ary War, Dearborn was later Secre-
tary of War under President Thomas
Jefferson. Besides Fort Dearborn,
the town. of Dearborn, Mich., was
also, named after him.
Of the six journals, one.was never
published before. but the others came
out in an earlier edition without notes.
Four. of the journals are owned by
the Boston Public Library, one is in
the. New York Public Library, and
the other is in the Massachusetts
Historical Society.
