BRITISH PROBLEMS FIND RAPID
SOLUTION, SAYS DR. NEWTON
“The acute problems. of the British
Empire are being solved rapidly,” said
Dr. Newton, exchange professor from
the University of London, speaking
Thursday morning in Taylor Hall, on
“Empire Problems and Their Solution.”
The self-governing dominions of the
empire, said Dr. Newton, are unique
colonies, a “group of independent na-
tions co-ordinate with one another,
banded together in a permanent league
of defense.” The chief problem, how
to bind the league more permanently, is
already being solved through war or-
ganization. “The likely solution,” ex-
plained Mr. Newton, “is that an im-
perial cabinet, like the war cabinet, with
the dominions represented on an equal
basis with the mother-country, will
meet once a year in council.”
Speaking of India, Dr. Newton de-
clared that Kipling’s “unchanging East”
does not exist. “India,” he said “aspires
to a higher political status. The Mon-
tague-Chelmsford commission is exam-
ining conditions, and it is possible that
this generation will see India rise to a
position of self-governing dominion.”
Dr. Newton has been professor of
American history at the University of
London for six years, and has been sent
to America to strengthen the bond be-
tween England and America. He ex-
pects to speak in almost every English-
speaking university before next Octo-
ber. The History Club entertained Dr.
Newton at dinner in Pembroke.
Talks to “Cambridge Union”
Dr. Newton also met with members
of the “Cambridge Union,” a group of
Seniors who are planning to study in
England after graduation, Thursday
evening, and spoke to them on graduate
work in English universities.
“FUTURE OF THE NEGRO” SUBJECT
OF SOCIAL SERVICE LECTURE
James Welden Johnson will speak on
“The Future of the Negro” the Wed-
nesday evening after Thanksgiving va-
cation. He will also read some of his
poems.
Mr. Johnson is field secretary for the
executive board of the National Asso-
ciation for the Advancement of Colored
People. Oswald Garrison Villard and
John Haines Holmes are among the
officers of this association.
Mr. Johnson has a sonnet on “night,”
published in the Literary Digest for
March 9, 1918, and another poem in the
Survey for March 30, 1918. The latter,
called The Negro to America, is the
query of the negro as to what America
wants him to be.
, "00, bi dias! by
In a hotly-contested game, 1920's sec-
ond team downed 1922 in the first of the
finals by a score of 4-3 last Wednesday.
1922's defense was stronger in the first
half than the second, but at no time fast
enough for 1920’s forward line. V. Lid-
ell’s defensive shots from the Junior
goal were accurate and strong through-
out.
The Senior fullbacks, by smashing
long shots and following up the ball,
were able again and again to return
the ball to their forward line from near
the goal. This was especially so be-
cause the Sophomore forward line was
not well organized.
1920’s forward line, with H. Zinser as
center, was fast and “geometrically
straight.”
Line-up: 1920—H. Holmes, V. Park’,
H. Zinser**, M. Hardy, N. Gookin*,
M. Dent, L. Kellogg, I. Arnold, K. Town-
send, M. Canby, D. Jenkins,
1922—-M. Crosby, C. Baird, O. How-
ard***, A. Dunn, A. Orbison, L. Grimm,
P. Smith, M. Kinard, C. Cameron, J.
Palache, V. Lidell.
“ty a atubbstaly tbusht gists, 1920 won
the second team finals from 1922 with
a score of 5-2 Friday. Superior team-
work and greater persistence depicting the
game for the Seniors.
The Senior forward line played as a
unit, Vv Park, ’20, and N. Gookin, ’20,
making well directed shots in the circle.
H. Holmes, ’ 20, made several spéctacu-
lar runs as wing, 1922's forwards play-
ed more individually, A. Orbison show-
ing speed and fight in dribbling the ball
down the field in spite of interference.
C, Cameron’s defense for the Sopho-
mores was persistent, but could not out-
weigh 1920’s defense, based on C. Can-
by’s mighty stroke.
Line-up: 1920—H. Holmes*, V. Park*,
M. K. Carey, M. Hardy**, N. Gook-
in*. I. Arnold, L. Kellogg, M. Dent, K.
Townsend, M. Canby, D. Jenkins.
1922—M. Crosby, J. Burgess, O. How-
ard**; C, Baird, A. Orbison, M. Ken-
nard, E, Titcomb, L. Grimm, C. Came-
ron, D. Dessau, V. Lidell,
Substitutes—B. Clarke for L. Grimm,
M Vorhees for J. Burgess, A. Coolidge

giving. Drill periods will consist of
marching, setting-up exercises, quicken-
ing exercises, and mass folk dancing to
the music of the outdoor Victrola. The
company commanders will devote half
the period to platoon drill. Two or more
squads make a platoon.
On rainy days the drill will be indoors.
During cold weather a platoon of peo-
ple unable to drill outdoors will exercise
in the gymnasium. The commanders are
asking that short coats, low-heeled high
shoes, gymnasium shoes or goloshes be
worn to drills.
The company commanders, M. L.
Mall. ’20: J. Peyton, ’21, and A. Orbi-
son, '22, are planning an interclass con-
test for the early spring. Juniors and
Seniors drill on Mondays; Sophomores
on Tuesdays, and Freshmen on Thurs-
days.
Students interested in social service
work, or those who want to teach ath-
letics or gymnasium classes, by consult-
ing with their commanders may be al-
lowed to join the normal class that Miss
Applebee is holding for all company, pla-
toon and squad leaders.
