S. F. Chess Men Favored Over Cards First Conference Match Brings Stanford and Gray Fog Into Conflict Plans today stand virtually completed for the beginning of intramural spring football—games and practice— on March 1st, with Head Coach Jimmy Needles and his staff urging every able-bodied student to don moleskins and play on the gridiron for his class, and for his own pleasure. "The first thing I want to banish," said Coach Jimmy, in making the announcement, "is the idea that the average fellow hasn't got a chance. He has a chance — anybody with spirit has—for the varsity in the fall. But now in the springtime there is to be no talk of chance. Everybody is certain of playing plenty of football. It will be a certainty. Everybody is importuned to turn out for intramural play and is promised full opportunity to show what he can do in handling the ball and every other department of the game." Arrangements haTe already been made for men to sign up at the field- house and they are asked to put their names on the list under their class before March 1st, the starting day of the aew program. Coach Needles made it plain that the success of the new plan will depend on the support given it by the student body as a whole. If a goodly squad, some 30 or 40 men, turns out for each class, the plan will operate as anticipated and every man who turns out will enjoy himself without finding the going too stiff, as he might in autumn football. Preparations are being made to equip the class teams with full gridiron uniforms and Coach Needles is working out a full schedule so that each class will have the services of a member of the coaching staff during a part of the afternoon. The "Intramural Spring Football Program" is an innovation on the Fog campus in answer to action of other colleges in abolishing spring practice, Coach Jimmy stated. "Football is the favorite sport of the majority of the \Uc-fc." J ULid.

Lecturer REV. WILFRED PARSONS, S. J., Editor of "America," who will speak in the Little Theatre Wednesday evening. ii'i'' XM :■:■:■■ : ■ FR. PARSONS, S. J., TO SPEAK ON 'POSITION OF PAPACY' FEB. 25 Editor of "America" Is Authority on Catholic Affairs And Is Qualified to Speak Father Richard Gleeson Goes to Salt Lake City Rev. Father Richard Gleeson, S. J., faculty advisor of the University of San Francisco Development Association left the university on February 10 for Salt Lake City where he is engaged in spiritual work. He is expected back the first of March. During the absence of Father Gleeson, the Development Association has been under the direction of Father Menager, S. J. The "Position of the Papacy" will be the subject of a lecture given by Rev. Wilfred Parsons, S. J., editor of "America" and well-known authority on Catholic affairs, as announced by student authorities of Kappa Lambda Sigma, through the office of Father Edward Whelan, in the University auditorium, on Wednesday evening, February 25. Father Parsons is en route to Washington, having spent the last month in Mexico investigating the politico- religious question in that ^country. Through the efforts of Father Whelan he has been persuaded to stop for several days in San Francisco and lecture at the University auditorium on Wednesday evening, February 25th, giving the true interpretation of the Holy Father's recent encyclical. True Significance There has been much editorial comment in the newspapers and magazines and many interpretations and misrepresentations of the Papal message. Father Parsons will consider them all and explain the true significance of the communication. As editor of "America" and outstanding authority on Catholic affairs, he has his finger on the pulse of the Catholic world and is eminently qualified to speak on the subject. He is well known for his sharp comments on world affairs and his weekly editorials have a deep influence on the Catholic thought of America. Father Parsons will arrive in this city on February 24th and, following the lecture, will entrain at once for Washington. Opposition To Name "Gray Fog" Voiced At Meeting Glee Men Are Big Success In Broadcast The Glee Club scored a smashing success in its last appearance in the Palm Court of the Palace Hotel, with Jesse Stafford and his Merry Music Makers. The club offered two groups of numbers which were enthusiastically received by all present. The songs of leading universities throughout the country, presented in tb,e first group, were broadcast over Radio Station KPO, and many favorable comments reached Stafford from radio listeners. At the end of March the club will present its spring concert, offering an appropriate Lenten cantata, together with other interesting novelties not yet announced by the director, Mr. Frederick L. Brown, of the business manager, Jack Dreschsler. RED KANE REPORTED 'GREATLY IMPROVED' Eneas "Red" Kane, 31, vice-president of the student body and prominent man about the campus, was reported as considerably improved today from his recent operation for appendicitis at St. Mary's Hospital, where he has been confined since last Sunday. COLLEGE THESPIANS EXCEL IN SUPERB PRESENTATION OF SPREAD-EAGLE PLAY Poignant Tragedy of Mob Enthusiasm Brilliantly Portrayed in Little Theatre By GEORGE BRADY, JR. The College Players opened the 1931 dramatic season with a splendid presentation of "Spread- Eagle," by George S. Brookes and Walter Lister, in the University little theatre on February 10, 11, 12, 1'3. This drama was brilliantly and intelligently interpreted by the talent ed cast, and the fine and graceful direction of James J. Gill added much to the effectiveness of the play. "SPREAD-EAGLE" has a theme that is concerned with the part the moneyed interests of the nation play in forcing a declaration of war. Its story is an example and a protest against the wanton sacrifice of human life that a war, fought to fatten some individuals' money-bags, necessarily demands. Poignant Tragedy This play looks at war from a viewpoint, undistorted by emotionalism and chauvanism. There is no glory— no romance—no adventure to this new viewpoint. Instead there is only the poignant tragedy of mob enthusiasm; the horrible tragedy of the human mob so easily misled and deceived by unscruplous individuals— the profiteers. Martin Henderson, a wealthy American financier, has over a billion dollars invested in mining concessions in Mexico. In order to secure these concessions he is anxious to force intervention by the United States Government: such intervention of course not only permanently securing these advantages to himself, but also releasing him from the heavy burden of taxes levied by the Mexican government. (Continued on Page 4, Col. 3) MR. LIPMAN BACK AT COLLEGE TODAY Opposition to the traditional name "Gray Fog" was heard for the first time about the campus when Edward V. O'Gara, '31, stated at the first official business meeting of the A. S. U. S. F., held in the auditorium February 12, "that the term 'Gray Fog' was distasteful to the citizens of San Francisco and that the Chamber of Commerce would be in favor of a change." His remarks met with little support from the student body, to whom his words came as a distinct surprise. Other Matter* Other matters discussed at the meeting were matters relating to the Letter Society Sport Dance, the 1931 Ignatian, the position of minor sports *t the University, and an appeal by Eneas Kane for managers for minor ■Porta. It was also voted to hold a business meeting every first Thursday of the month. A pre-medical student, irked by the strict eight o'clock ruling in regard to entering classes late, inquired into the advisability of closing the classroom doors at exactly eight o'clock. He was answered by Rev. Father Flynn, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, who stated that such a rule had been made, not to place any restrictions upon the students, but had been enacted to make the students train themselves to be on time. The dean further stated that the idea of Jesuit training was to train the whole man, his mind, his body and his habits. Donald Arney, '31, made several pointed remarks which were ruled out of order by President Cameron. Mr. John Lipman, S. J., who has been confined to St. Mary's Hospital for the past week with an infected foot, is expected to be back at his desk either today or tomorrow. During the absence of Mr. Lipman, who is professor of geology and physics, Professor Chisholm has been handling his classes, aided by Arthur Foley. Tau Delta Beta Frat Holds First Meeting The first regular spring meeting of the Tau Delta Beta Honor Commerce and Finance Society was held Thursday evening, February 3rd, at the Elks' Club. The speaker of the evening was Mr. George Woolrich, who held a round- table discussion of the "Evolution of Banking Business." S. C. and S. F. Alumnus An alumnus of Santa Clara and San Francisco Universities, Mr. Woolrich gave an interesting talk replete with novel anecdotes of the time when he attended these two Jesuit universities. Hid unique style of address was applauded by all present. Committee Is Chosen For Junior Prom Members of the Junior Prom committee selected by John F. O'Dea, president of the Junior Class, at the first meeting of the third year men, are as follows: Jack Chase, Ed Murphy, Sidney Linden, Bud Courter and Joe Mc Cormack. The committee for the Fiesta De Adios, which is the traditional farewell banquet the Juniors tend to the Senior Class, will consist of Joe Sullivan, Bob Graham, Ken Girard, Jack Maloney and Francis O'Gara. Henry Rittore was appointed to serve as treasurer in both instances. "Members of the Junior Class are determined to make both of these affairs memorable ones in the history of the University," President O'Day stated, "and no amount of work will be spared to make the Junior Prom the really prominent social event of the collegiate year," he continued. Medalist JOSEPH DONDERO, '30, who was awarded the Gold Medal as the best orator in the Y. M. I. contest. COACH BUD SPENCER HAS PLANS FOR J. C. INVITATIONAL MEET Hill Top Track Squad Looms As Powerful Outfit; Montague Excels in Speed Test Coach Bud Spencer's U. S. F. track team will meet with powerful competition this year if present plans are followed. Arrangements are being made to hold an invitational meet on the hilltop track April 18 with the University of San Francisco as host to all the stronger junior college teams in the state. Menlo, Marin, Santa Rosa, San Mateo and Sacramento Junior Colleges have been sent invitations to compete, and according to present indications they will all accept. The Gray Fog track team has been working out for the past two weeks and look as though they will be a stronger squad than that which has ever before worn the Green and Gold. All of last year's heavy-point gatherers are back again and should show a big improvement due to the experience that they gained last season. JOSEPH DONDERO, '31 IS WINNER OF Y. M. L MEDAL FOR ORATORY J. J. O'DAY IS SECOND Dondero's 'A Soviet Blunder' Is Unanimous Choice of Three Judges Joseph Dondero, '31, was adjudged the best speaker of the evening and awarded the gold medal prize for oratory in the annual oratorical contest sponsored each year by the Ignatian Council of the Young Men's Institute and held in the University Little Theatre last Monday evening, Feb. 16. "A Soviet Blunder" Dondero's subject, "A Soviet Blunder," won the unanimous decision of the three judges, Dr. Stanley Burns, Mr. Charles Wiseman and Howard Finn. Second place was awarded to J. O'Day, '32, who had as his topic "Whither America." The other speakers of the evening were Vincent Lafferty, '31, who spoke on "Opium, The Curse of the Universe"; James De Martini, '31, whose subject was "Pagan or Christian"; Lloyd Luckman, '31, who spoke on "Patriotism"; and Russel Keil, '31, who had as his subject "A Legacy." Ferrari III Due to a' sudden illness which confined him to his bed, Louis A. Ferrari, '31, was unable to deliver his speech on "The Life of St. Augustine, a Drama of Saintliness and Conflict." Music for the evening was furnished by the University ensemble under the direction of Harold A. Harper. U. S. F. VARSITY WILL DEBATE ST. MARY'S Essay Contest Closes With Over 150 Entries The Foghorn staff wishes to thank the faculty and students for their hearty cooperation in making its Essay Contest on "75 Years of Pro- gress'l a signal success. Over 150 manuscripts were turned in, practically all the English classes being represented by a sizeable number. Word comes from Alfonso Tous, chairman of the committee in charge, that work on the judging of the essays is in full swing and that efforts shall be made to reach a speedy decision as the annual staff has kindly consented to Insert the winning essay in its pages. The annual debate with St. Mary's College will take place on Thursday evening, February 26th. This will be a decision debate on the question: "Resolved, That the U. S. should cease to protect by armed force, American capital invested in foreign lands, except after formal declaration of war." In view of the recent South American disputes and the withdrawal of American troops from Nicaragua, the topic for discussion will be a most timely and interesting one. Due to the sudden illness of Frank Silva's team mate, Eneas Kane, Lloyd Luckmann will probably take the lat- ter's place for that evening. The judges have not yet signified their intentions which necessitates the postponement of their announcement. SIX WIN McKINLEY DEBATE POSITIONS The preliminary try-out contest for the members of the McKinley Debate teams was held before the Philhis- torian Debating Society on Thursday, February 12th. Those who vied for places on the teams were James S. De Martini, Eneas J. Kane, Lloyd D. Luckmann, Martin T. O'Dea, James O'Gara, and Tom Kelleher of the Senior Class; John O'Dea and Alfonso Tous of the Junior Class; Robert O'Connor and James Feeley of the Sophomore Class, and Tom Buckley, George Blanchard, William Dowling, George Fogarty and Vernon Fallon of the Freshman Class. Judges' Decision The judges, Fr. Mootz, Fr. Dunn and Mr. Gill, in their decisions awarded team places to James De Martini, Eneas Kane, Lloyd Luckmann, Martin O'Dea, John O'Dea, and James O'Gara. Alternates were Tom Kelleher and William Dowling. The debate is an annual intra-mural affair established by the donation by the Hon. B. F. McKinley of the Law College faculty; the award for the best speaker of the evening being a gold medal. The final contest will take place on Monday evening, March 16th. Many Additions Further Plans For Law Library THE library of the College of Law, University of San Francisco, has been considered as containing the nucleus of a large and magnificent library, which at some far distant day might materialize to the edification and erudition of the coming generation. However, the hopes of the future have crystallized into actualities in presentae, and our library has now outgrown Its embryonic state, due to the many purchases recently made by Regent of the Law School, Reverend Charles F. Carroll, of many well-chosen works and publications of law. A recent Inventory of the library has made it possible to arrange and rearrange, according to chronological order, the various sources of reference works. These have been properly indexed, and it is hoped the students of the entire college will avail themselves of this valuable and adjacent source of reference and authority. Sketch of Major Works A brief skeleton sketch of the major works on the shelves and their interrelationship will serve to indicate where each may be found. In the division of California records, there are complete sets in duplicate of California Reports, and California Appellate Reports. These reports are augmented by three sets of California Jurisprudence; California Digest, and Cumulative Digests by Kerr, and Binder- Morse. General Laws and Statutes with annotations by Deering; and editions of the Civil Code, Code of Civil Procedure, Penal Code, and Political Code ot different dates of publication, which are of historical as well as present day legal value, complete the (Continued on Page 4, Col- 6)
