All Sophomores are called to animportant Mass Meeting this after-noon in Room 10-250 at 4 o'clock.The time of Field Day is rapidly ap-proaching, when the Sophomoresmeet the freshmen to battle forsuperiority in football, track, crew0, Iand the tug-of-war. Plans for thisField Day will be discussed, and acall for candidates for the variousteams wvill be issued. A 100 per centturnout of the class is expected.

Horace S. Ford, Jr., '31, will bein charge of the meeting, to be con-ducted in all informal manner."Os" Hedlund and "Bill" Haineswill address the class. lIbert L.Eigenbrot, '29, will be there to helpincrease the spirit of the class byconducting some cheering.

Ralph B. Atkinson, '29, Chairmnanof the Rules Comm-nittee, will speaklto the class on the Freshman Rules.Now that these rules are in force,the men will be instructed as to whatthey can do to enforce them andmake thenm, a real success, for thechief burden of enforcement naturallyfalls upon the Sophomore class. Therules will be explained in deaiil sothere will be no misunderstanding oftheir friendly purpose.

Of course the Sophomores are ex- Ipected to crush the freshmen onField Day. All Field Day leaders,including coaches and teami captainswvho can possibly attend this rmeet-ing, will be there to talk to the menand give themi any information theydesire on track, football, crew, ortug-of-war. The outlook for successis bright in all events. A great dealof interest in the class teams hasalready been shown. The Sopho-more crew is very well est'blisheunder the leadership of Coach BillHai nes.

The football team has been practic-ing regularly. I'ost all the men oflast year's team are back. Those

wvho attended Field Day last yearwill recall that this team trouncedthe Sophomores on that occasion.and a victory ove"r the freshnmen thisyear is naturally expected. The relayteam has as yet only eight men oulwhhile twelve are required for therace, but it. is hoped that more men

will .turn out shortly. Candidates areneeded for the tu.z -of-war. The callhas not been made a-s yet but it willbe out soon.

Last year the freshmenl wal the I1love fight by an overwhlelminf

majority. The freshmen this yearare 4:,tying to do as the Class of '31(lid last year. Sophomores are urffed(to come out in full force for thisevent. The Mass Meeting, it is ho)e(d.

will weld the member-s of the Classof '91 into a stTongZ unit. and

mato:inlh?- advance the preparatio nsfor Field'Day.

Handle Steam Fire EnginesThe first thing necessary was to

train men to handle the fire engines.The majority of the machines in usein Boston that time were steam-driven Amoskeag pumpers. Therewere a few La France rotary gaso-line engines, but these were so easyto operate that the Institute devotedall its time to the steam pumpers.

Engines wehe immediately secured,and there were at one time as manyas five engines on the Institutegrounds. Several companies in Bos-ton who employed engineers, suchas the Boston Elevated, the BostonEdison Co., and the John P. SquiresCo., detailed men here to take thetraining. In addition many public-spirited' men volunteered f6r; service.In this way, within five days 128 menhad been trained to run the enginesand were ready to take their placesif the emergency arose. The menwere stationed in old war-time bar-racks on the Tech grounds; and herethey stayed day and night during theperiod of their service.

Radicals Stir Up DiscontentIn the meantime, several delegates

of the various labor organizationsbegan circulating among the men.attempting to cause discontent. Assoon as this was discovered, a militaryguard was thrown around the groundsand only one entrance was left open.No one was allowed to enter or leavewithout being identified. The patrol-ling was done by several companies

In addition to the trained men atthe Institute, there was a reserve of1000 men ready at call. These hadbeen secured by the insurance com -panies, and were to serve as firemen,hosemen and alddermen. Severalautomobile companies donated a totalof twenty automobiles to distributethe men to their various stations.

To drive the engines, which wereof the La France and Christie Trac-tor type, a company of engineerswere trained. These were quarteredin the old cadet armory on ColumbusAve. The men were all told off' andin case of emergency each man knew

just where he was to go. It wasa perfect organization. The plan ofcampaign was this. As soon as theColonel in charge of affairs learnedthat a strike had been called, he wasto send a detail of men to eachengine house. They were to holdthe old crew until the new one gotthere. This measure was adopted toprevent any tampering with the ap-paratus.

Clever Strategy Averts StrikeBut the Hon. John R. Murphy, fire

commissioner of Boston, did not wantthe firemen to strike at all. Herealized that at heart they were loyal,but that they had had their headsturned by radical labor leaders. Ac-cordingly he conceived and executedan admirable plan.

Of course, the details at Techno-logiy needed supplies from the Bostonengine houses from time to time. Sotrucks were sent over, and the driverswere allowed to look over the situa-tion and note the entire prepared-ness of the details. They then re-turned to Boston and spread thisnews among their fellows. This wasdone for some time, until finally thefiremen lost confidence in the pro-posed strike, as they saw that sucha move was very efficiently preparedfor.

Thus in due time all the disputeswere settled amicobly. And so themen trained for the emergency, al-though they never went into activeduty, had fully justified their exist-once, and had averted all dangerfrom a strike.

Following the settlement of difficul-ti-s. the Mavor and the Fire Com-missioner sent a letter of thanks to,he Corpor.ot'ion. exrpressin7 the ap-proeiation of the City of Boston.

This is merely an i-nstance of thePonstant readiness of Technology tobelP in any wav within her powers,whenever such help shall be needed.

THE ALL-TECHNOLOGY SMOKER

ONCE again will Technology undergraduates hold their annualfall get-together, always the first real student function of the

Institute year. There have been Smokers, and Smokers-somesnappy, some less so; some coarse, and some so sweet and purethat even the coeds and professors' wives who persist in comingto a men's smoker have had no cause for blushing.

But this year we have a. committee that promises the ne plusultra in All-Technology Smokers. "Peppier, faster, smoother;better and cleaner vaudeville; and a raffle that isn't just a guess-ing contest." If the committee can live up to that promise, therecan be no doubt that the Smoker will be the best in years. CantWhey? It is at least -,.oi'th attending to find out, and we,have anidea that there is a lot of truth in that promise.

In past years there has been considerable criticism by the£eminine element, and by many' of the Alumni and Faculty,of the cheapness of tne talent hired to entertain thle crowd. Thecommittee guarantees t1hat t-nhough the vaudeville aets otf this yearwill be a distinct improvemeint over the past, none of this cheap-ness will appear. But let not this be an inducement to the fairerelement to flock to this Men's Smoker, for there wvill be a pclkedgroup of bouncers pr.ersent w .7ith full instructions as to duLy-men who are still firm enough of purpose really to keep a Men'sSmoker purely masculine.

And let it be understood that the All-Technology Smoker isnot by any means for freshmen and for them alone. They areinvited, to be sure, aned even a dinner incentive is added, but theSmoker would be a fiat failure were upperclassmen to remainaway. Nor are they encouraged to come merely to make the fresh-men feel at home; on the contrary, the entertainment is beingmade attractive enough to draw any.

This dinner for the freshmen anCt ;ransf ers preceding theSmoker proper, will give all the new men an opportunity to meeteach other in an informal social gathering and break the ice forfuture endeavor. The activity talks are to be given by veteranspeakers who have explained them for years now, and should bythis time be the best obtainable. All in all, we feel sure that wecan second the promise of the Smoker Committee for a bigger,better All-Tech Smoker than the Institute has witnessed in years-- and a far more masculine one.

One of the Lounger's colleagues,who has been trying to get throughthe Institute for years and years,has tabulated for the express benefitof the entering men a series of moreor less periodic events that are boundto occur whether they are necessaryor not. These have been accuratelytimed with some sort or other ofstandard stop-watch, and ought to beauthentic:

Every 32 hours 27 minutes EddieMiller suggests some million dollarscheme.

Every 3 days 6 hours someone de-cides to eat again at Walker.

With the first game scheduled forSaturday afternoon with BradfordDurfee on the Coop field the EngineerSoccer team have been doing theirbest to get into form. This after-noon at four o'clock a scrimmagewill be held and from the results ofthis scrimmage the first team willprobably be chosen.

Competition for the backfield posi-tions is very keen as there are severalmen out for each position. In lastSaturday's scrimmage all of thecandidates for these positions didvery well. Nearly all of the men Iare fast and good nassers and theirteamwork is improving daily.

Several Good FullbacksThis year the team has more good

fullbacks than ever before. Hawkirisand Riehl. veterans from last year'steam are back again, but they haveplenty of competition and will haveto work hard, if they expect to playin Saturday's game. McDowell andKim are the two men wvho are caus-ing the regulars to watch their ste-and incident..lly worlk their heads off.

Outside forwards are the mainweakn'oss of the team. but there area number of men who are out forsome of the other nositions who canplay.v well in the outside positions.

Many Freshmen Out

Quite a number of freshmen haveturned out and it is expected that ateam -will be organized. These menhave been invaluable in giving thevarsity practice and it also gives thecoach a chance to look over thenrosneces for next year. BradfordDurfee has not played any games asvet: so it wvill be the first opportunityvfor the men of both teams to get intoreal compeition.

All freshmen who wish to substi-tute track for P. T. must sign us inMr. McCarthy's office on the thirdfloor of Walker before twelve o'clockon October 22.

Regular rehearsals will be held onTuesdays and Thursdays at 5.00o'clock in 10-250, commencing to-morrow. All new men -who have nothad tryouts are urged to come outas soon as possible.

In his address to the entering classat Yale, President James RowlandAn-ell warned the freshmen to at-tend strictly to their studies. He toldthem not to become "absorbed in some

After ten days practice and withtwo and one half weeks remaining

before the first dual meet, Coach Os-car Hedlund's Varsity and freshman

cross-country squads show signs ofdeveloping into winning teams. Both

Varsity and frosh teams are scheduledto meet Holy Cross on October 20 onthe new five and three-quarter mile

Winchester course. This course whichwas recently laid out and measuredunder the supervision of Coach Hed-

lund, is over a bridal path and com-pletely surrounds a pond. The loca-

tion and terrain are ideal for crosscountry work.

Yesterday's workout 'consisted of along jog over the "circuit" alongmemorial Drive. Judging by theshowings of the candidates up to thepresent time, the Varsity team willbe selected from the following men:Captain Worthen, Thorsen, Herbert,Baitzer, Mitchell, Berry, Defazio,

Leadbetter, MeNiff, and Watson. Al-though Watson reported yesterday

for the first time, his work on lastyear's freshman team showed that he

will prove valuable as Varsity mater-ial this fall.

Several candidates for the freshmanteam have had track or cross-countryexperience at prep school, so withthese men to build around a very

creditable season looms for the year-lings. Gilman, Rogers, Jewett andConant have all excelled on the cinderpath before entering the Institute.

Both squads look good for this timein the season and Coach Hedlund

seems well satisfied with the progressto date.

A recent addition to the law-enforcing detachment of onebluecoat who preserves orderabout the Institute grounds isnone other than Mr. WilliamJackson, chief of the Informa-tion Office. An observer reportsthat "Willie" was seen inspectingthe lines of parked automobilesbehind Building 10, last Friday,noting the license number of eachcar. He refused to divulgewhether or not he was handingout summons to violators of theInstitute's intricate parking regu-lations, but his familiars predicta lot of trouble for the unfor-tunates who failed to keep withinthe space alotted to one theorti-col automobile. At any rate,we are anxious to hear whetherMr. Jackson has acquired anofficial title with his new posi-tion.

At 8 o'clock three airplanes ap-peared from the east as three pointsof red, moving as though they wereone. At the same tine from the hori-zon two giant search lights beamedpencils of white into the black sky.The beams msoved.about the sky-as ifseeking somnething to illumine untilthey came upon the three planes. Up'the River over the South side of the!,Esplanade the three planes continuedand the beams followed their., some-times losing them but quickly regain-ing their jealous hold. Soon the planeswvere out of sight and out of range ofthe light, but back they came, the tlights seeming to sense their approachn were sweeping the sky before theirwing lig'bts became visible.
