Under the new system sophomores are to compete for the privilege of becoming members of the junior class. Admission to the latter is to be based on scholarship records during the first two years, and will be limited to 75 per cent, of the second year men.Via the Lehigh Brown and White we learn that a Yale professor regrets that beautiful girls are becoming scarcer. He blames it on the fact that Follies girls and others lacking glorification but possessing the requirements, are not having children.The average child per Yale graduate, it is noted rather irrelevantly, is one Harvard University in 1894 and tookgreat influence wielded by members of these professions due to their cooperation in business, Francis E.Frothingham, Vice-President of the Boston banking firm of Coffin and Burr, will deliver the second Cyrus Fogg Brackett lecture of the year tonight at 8:30 in the Freshman Commons Room.The subject is important to the embryo engineer because of the fact that practically every engineering project must be financed by borrowed money. The financier must be confident of the accuracy of the estimates and predictions of the engineer before he proceeds to interest others in investing capital in a new project, and must, likewise, know how to interpret the findings of the engineer for the purpose of writing descriptions of it.Mr. Frothingham graduated fromand one-tenth.What the well dressed football hero should wear has been decided by the gridiron warriors of Marquette Uni-(Continued on Page Five)MEETING OF CRAPPLERS ON SCHEDULE TOMORROWup post-graduate work in the Lawrence Scientific School.

Field.Gams Finds Latest “Lit” More Open-Minded But Less Scintillating Than in Former YearsParts of Issue Criticized as Humdrum—Stories by Burnham and Wood Are Lauded.PSYCHOLOGY EXPERT TO TALK AT 5 TODAYUniversity of London Professor to Speak at 201 Eno on “The Power of the Human Mind.”Coach Foster Calls Out All Upperclassmen Wishing to Try for This Season's Squad.FRIDAY COTILLION CLUB PLANS ANNUAL PROGRAMOne of the most eminent of English psychologists, Professor C. Spearman of the University of London, will speak on “The Power of the Human Mind” in 201 Eno Hall at 5 this afternoon. The lecture isopen to the public and there will be no charge for admission.Professor Spearman, who is a Fellow of the Royal Society, has occupied the Chair of Mind and Logic at the University of London since 1911. His preparation for this work included years of study at Leipsic, Wurzburg, and Gottingen. He is the auothor of two important theories in(Dean Christian Gauss, reviewing for the Princetonian the first issue j of the Nassau Lit, finds the magazine less brilliant than usual but praiseivorthy for its broader and more varied range.)When Archibald Alexander, the new editor, asked me to review the November Lit I had a suspicion that in these unhappy times he was hoping to get off to a good start by being damned by the Dean. If that was his intention, I am sorry that I cannot oblige. I am constrained to find it a good number.I can qualify this somewhat. There are parts which are workaday, even humdrum. A little of it is left-hand-ed and lacking in that astonishing deftness which we have come to admire, almost to expect, in the writing of our undergraduate craftsmen. It is not nearly so advanced, so esthetic as last year’s first number. It lacks those exciting proleptic samples of the poetry of 1950. Let me therefore be-♦gin by confessing my disappointments.Price Day contributes a bit of verse which if not yet old is no longer new. He gives it the shopworn title, “Libido” but its Freudian, Sadistic expressionism is not convincing. When one can be as Mr. Day has been in the past, so artfully simple, why become so artificially complicated ? I have enjoyed so deeply some of the simpler beautiful verses he has written that I am going to ask him when next he is tempted by Expressionismus or Sadism to stay his hand and repeat as a penance a modification of Swinburne’s line,“Time that makes of new things old Leaves some old things new.”What really pains me, however, isSenior and Sophomore Voters Elect Vice-Presidents TodayNominations for the Sophomore representatives to the Intra-Col-legiate Athletic Association remain open, as none have yet been received. They may be handed in to A. Knapp 1928, G. P. Van Arkel 1929, or B. Van D. Hedges 1930. Balloting for the Senior and Sophomore Vice-Presidents takes place today and for the Junior Vice-President and Sophomore I. A. A. representatives tomorrow. The. following have been named for Vice-President: 1928—R. Jemison III and F. L. Pell Jr.; 1929—J. MacN. Thompson, J. D. Rockefeller III, B. E. Poste, and L. S. Stewart; 1930—W. D. Barfield, W. A.

Candidates for the 1931 team are to attend a meeting at 3:30 in the Gym on Monday. Men wishing to take this sport may elect it as their winter physical education course.Faced by the most difficult schedule in several years the team promises to be the best that Princeton has, recently turned out. The following men will probably occupy positions on the team: W. Graham 1929 (C), C. Mac-Rae 1929, J. Taylor 1928, R. Sum-mey 1928, C. Hunsicker 1928, W. Trompen 1930, and J. Tonetti 1930.

Thesquad’s practice for the next two weeks will be under the direction of Frank Swinnerton and will consist of muscle conditioning exercises three days each week, with hand ball and touch football on the other two days.
