Beta's, Phi Psi's, Phi, Gam's Sigma Chi's To Play Semi-Finals
A total of five touchdowns was scored in four games Monday afternoon as intramural football play-offs swung into first round action. Defensive play limited the victors in scoring and kept their own goal lines uncrossed in each case. Two teams which were undefeated in regular season play retained their unblemished records. Beta Theta Pi handed Sigma Phi Epsilon an 8 to 0 loss, and
Sigma Chi came through with a 6 win over Sigma Alpha Epsilon. In the other two contests, Phi Gamma Delta was victorious over Phi Delta Theta 6 to 0, and Phi Kappa Psi ran up the afternoon's high total in defeating Tau Kappa Epsilon 12 to 0.
Joseph, Beta halfback, cracked the center of the line for two yards and a (touchdown in the second quarter to give the Beta's a lead which they never relinquished. A pass from Vance Hall to "Hub" Hall. Beta end, had carried the ball within striking distance. The remaining two points came when Jervis nailed a Sig Ep back behind his own goal line for a safety.
Crabaugh and Jarrell passed well for the Sig Eps, and Garil pulled in several aerials for good gains. A strong Beta defense, however, refused to permit the losers a consistent offensive drive.
It took the Sigma Chi's until the fourth quarter to score their touchdown against an inspired band of Sig Alph's. King, Sigma Chi center, took the ball from the quarterback to run the counter across from the 4-yard line.
Until the Sigma Chi score, it had been anybody's game as Rosberg and Gage combined to pass for several substantial Sig Alg gains. Ballard gathered in one 30-yard pass for the losers which carried to the Sigma Chi 3-yard line, but the winners refused to yield and took over the ball on downs four plays later.
The last quarter also proved decisive in the hard-fought contest between the Phi Gam's and the Phi Delt's. A leaping pass by Johnson from the Phi Delt 10-yard line was speared by Hinshaw over the goal for the lone counter of the game.
During the first three quarters, play swung up and down the field as first one team and then the other seemed to kindle an offensive spark. Superb defensive play on both sides always stepped in to stop all threats, however, until the final stanza.
The Phi Psi's struck twice through the air to down the Teke's. Thorp was on the pitching end of both passes as Carpenter and Mercer shared scoring honors. The second touchdown came with but a minute remaining in the contest. Until that time, the Teke's were a constant threat to tie up the game.
The four victors advance into the semi-final round which will be played Wednesday afternoon. The pairings for tomorrow are as follows: Beta Theta Pi vs. Phi Gamma Delta; and Sigma Chii vs. Phi Kappa Fsi.
He'll Take Sound-Effect Orders For Pins, But What Noise Does An Amoeba Make?
Hollywood. (UP)—Morris M. Landres of the General Film library has been filling orders for 20 years for such things as the sound of a horse laughing or a pin dropping.
He doesn't even raise his eyebrows any more when he opens his morn- mail to read:
"Send me a yard and a half of rattlesnake."
Landres saw which way the film industry was going, back in 1926 when Warner Brothers brought sound and talk to the screen, and he set himself up in business.
His first order was for a short subject in which the principal character was to make an announcement after telling his audience he wanted it so silent "he could hear a pin drop."
He not only was able to provide all sorts of peculiar noises on request, but he became so expert in sounds that he frequently was called in when completed films had more strange sounds than ordered.
Morris got this letter:
"Send me at once the sound of a pin dropping."
The first order took a lot of heart-breaking recording.
Animal pictures came full blast with the new medium, and Landres kept his crew busy making lion, tiger, leopard, boar, dog, and horse noises, most done-with humans proficient in mimicry.
"After the imitators left, we discovered nobody knew which was which." Landres recalled. "We shut our eyes, stabbed at the pile of material and sent off whatever we grabbed."
The man who ordered a boar's roar sometimes got a horse laugh, and somebody else's lion grumbled like a tiger. But everybody was in a hurry, and not too many knew a canary from a robin, so Landres went on just as if he hadn't created a Tower of Babel in the animal kingdom.
The diagnosis work came first when the sound of a waterfall seemed to be creeping into a drawing room scene. Landes listened to several playbacks, then inquired if one of the actors had had a cold. He had.
The passage of air as the actor breathed through the tears and swollen membranes of his nose sounded exactly like a cataract.
As sound grew on the screen,
Landres' business grew and not all of it was for such unusual things. He has had to admit defeat only twice.
Once for a scientific short dealing with microscopic life in water, the producer ordered the sound of amoeba as they moved about.
"I reasoned him out of it by arguing that if they couldn't be seen with the naked eye, they couldn't be heard with the naked ear," Landres said.
The other time a producer wanted to intensify a poem with proper sound effects. He got stumped for one line, and called Landres for something to illustrate it to the ear.
Linnaean club, University botany club, met Monday night at Snow hall. Ronald McGregor, president, was in charge. Dr. Cora M. Dows presented kodachrome slides of her travels along the east coast and in Wvoming, Kansas and Arkansas.

"And the sun is beating down."
Dr. Downs' pictures were of floral gardens, including views from Cornell university, Smith college and Vassar college in the East and slides showing scenes of the University.
Upperclassmen split scoring honors with underclassmen in the women's class volleyball playoffs in Robinson gym last night as the juniors overpowered the freshmen, 35 to 14, and the seniors succumbed to sophomore strength, 30 to 38.
The next meeting will be in January.
Winners play at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow for first place, while the losers will play a consolation game.

McCook Has All Advantages As Gym, But --and
"Aw, why couldn't they let us alone? We were happy," complained several burly athletes who were moved recently from Robinson gymnasium, where they have been living, to McCook hall, under the stadium.
"Now I'll have to climb that blasted hill and if you ask me, it's not worth it." Others nodded approval.
"I don't see a private swimming pool or basket ball court around here like we had in the gym," lamented one. "Besides that, I used to roll out of bed every morning and go to class in the same building.
McCook hall may prove more satisfying than the disgruntled players think. The unit is partitioned in the middle with 16 men in each half. The men will live in two rooms and study in two others. The freshly-painted brown and buff rooms are modern and sizeable, with large windows.
Behind each unit is a large recreation room with ping pong tables and other recreational equipment, and if that isn't enough, there remains the football field and track just outside.
