Freshmen Men Talk Politics

Women's Tennis Play Progresses
Nearly 300 freshman men got their first taste of Hill politics last night at the annual Pachacamac Open House held in the ballroom of the Memorial Union.
John Milton Phillips, '37, former Men's Student Council president, and one of Pachacamac's "greats," was the principal speaker. Briefly he told what Pachacamac meant to him while he was in school and what it still means to him as a practicing lawyer.
Following this program, cider and doughnuts were served as prospective members of the Pachacamac Freshman Inner Council filled out application blanks stating their high school records.
The first organization meeting of the freshman section of the party has been set for Sunday night.

SAME GRID TEAM--over the Kansas Jayhawks Saturday, the Drake Bulldogs turned on the pressure in practice sessions here today.
(continued from page four)
Coach Vee Green ran the second team in extensive scrimmage drills to iron out rough offensive and defensive spots, turned up in the Grinnel game, won by the Bulldogs, 20 to 7.
Proving that they have a potent air attack, the Drakes, with Gene Moore, quarterback, and Walt O'Connor, halfback, firing passes for good gains to glue fingered Bill Gavin and co-captain Chan Olson at the end spots.
Only injury of the Grinnell game was relief man Dick Peterson, Bulldog end, who suffered a torn leg ligament. The rest of the squad is in good shape for the inter-conference clash with the Jayhawks.
Last year the Blue and White eleven turned in a 12-6 victory over the Jayhawks and is set to repeat the feat this year. With rivalry bitter between the Big Six and the Missouri Valley conferences, both teams will be out for a decisive victory.

BIG SIX ADOPTS---
For Immediate Enrollment and Information Call 349
(continued from page four) modified in size, is different in shape, and is now an all-steel product. The width of the new board is 54 inches or 18 inches narrower than last year's board. The height of the board has been cut 13 inches from 48 inches to 35 inches. The new board is a fan-shaped bank of solid steel which basketball authorities have rated for years superior in many respects to boards fabricated of other materials.
Big Six To Use New Goals
Since the National Basketball Committee has stated that the new boards are legal and may be installed without fear of protest, universities, colleges, and high schools from coast to coast are installing the boards at a rapid rate. Dr. F. C. Allen received word this morning from Louis Menze, basketball coach at Iowa State and secretary to the Big Six coaches, saying that all Big Six coaches are in favor of the new all-streel convex boards except Jack Gardner of Kansas State. As a result of a meeting last spring at which they went on record as saying a majority vote would prevail, the courts of the Big Six schools will soon be decked out with new boards and goals. Allen remarked that "now we will at least find a uniformity of backboards and rebounds in the Big Six which will be a big help."
Dr. Allen said this morning that he had already rushed his order for two sets of the new boards to be installed in Hoch Auditorium and Robinson gymnasium. In commenting on the effects the new boards might produce in the coming season, Allen remarked, "Scoring may be increased but it will be due to the lowering of the goal six inches and the removal of the waste space behind the goal. This will afford players behind or beneath the basket a greater opportunity to flip in goals from the end space."
Offers Increased Visibility
Another decided advantage will be the increased visibility offered on most courts from corners and ends of the gymnasiums. Also, freer use of the four-foot end space behind the backboard permits offensive play from nearly all directions and thus relieves congestion in the free-throw lane. The increased space under the basket from which a goal may be made furthers the chance for a rebound to escape the congested area.
Constructed entirely of steel, this new, streamlined adjunct to basketball represents a combination of efficient design, scientifically correct fabrication and absolute playing uniformity. "Phog" Allen predicted that "Basketball will profit by this innovation with a more wide open brand of play and large crowds should be the result."
