ELUCTANT though we have been in our decision to change the title of this year's Book from the somewhat well-established "Orange and White" to that of "The Big T," it has been done simply because we are not in accord with this, of late, altogether too persistent habit at Tech---this habit of transplanting traditions. Local prep schools have the inalienable privilege of copying their year book titles from the University of California's "Blue and Gold." It is not necessary to draw conclusions. In the presentation of this volume, then, it is our hope that it will be taken (or left) as a stone in an ultimate monument of tradition which will be unequivocally of us and undeniably our own. Our success is with you. The Editor. Page Nine THE 1921 BIG "T" THE BIG "T" BOARD. Arthur J. Garfield Editor Manton M. Barnes Manager Clyde R. Keith Sinclair Smith - Douglas Stromsoe Howard G.

Page Fourteen THE 1921 BIG "T" 1 THROOP HALL The oldest of the group of buildings on the C. I. T. campus. It contains the administrative offices, class rooms, drawing rooms, the assembly hall, and two of the electrical and mechanical engineering laboratories. Page Fifteen THE 1921 BIG "T" I HE DOOD LEE THE DORMITORY A frame building of the California bungalow type, spac-ious, and picturesquely situated in the rear of the orange grove. This building forms the basis for much of the college life of the Institute. It accommodates sixty men. Page Sixteen THE 1921 BIG "T" THE STEAM LABORATORY In this building is contained the equipment for experi- mental work in hydraulic and steam engineering. tunnel, used in a number of experiments for the government during the war, is located at the east end of the structure and is numbered among the most valuable experimental apparatus owned by the Institute. Page Seventeen THE 1921 BIG "T" THE GATES CHEMICAL LABORATORY The Chem Building was finished in 1917, and forms the first of additional structures to complete the ultimate campus arrangement. It contains adequate under-graduate laboratories, class-rooms, research laboratories, and a well-equipped scientific library. Page Eighteen THE 1921 BIG "T" THE BRIDGE PHYSICAL LABORATORY What is probably to be the most thoroughly equipped physical laboratory in the country is rapidly being erected across the campus from the Chem Building. The architecture follows the general plan of the group and combines favorably the artistic, the stable and the utili-tarian. It should be finished in a few months. Page Nineteen THE 1921 BIG "T" AUDITORIUM EAST WING The second of the new, uncompleted structures on the Tech property is the East wing of the main auditorium. It is to be used jointly with the Pasadena Music and Art Association for art exhibits, programs, assemblies and social gatherings. It will be ready for use next fall. Page Twenty THE 1921 BIG "T" THE ATHLETIC FIELD The athletic field equipment of Caltech approaches that of some of the largest universities in America in size, perfection and accommodation. The football field is used in the annual East versus West football game on New Years Day. South of this is the running track and baseball field, the former the scene of a number of important A. A. U. meets and the latter used annually by the Chicago Cubs in their spring practice. Tech has grounds for successful athletic teams in the future. Page Twenty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" WHAT THE OTHER HALF THINKS By Professor Clinton K. Judy HAT man who first said that the professor becomes dictatorial and intolerant through having his words submissively accepted students could not have known C. I. I. Some professors may once have expected to be listened to as the wise men they are, but that expectation was soon disappointed; the vague surviving hope, too, dwindled, and finally came the acceptance of the inevitable. Freshmen, by some pleasant dispensation, do allow something to the pro-fessor, but they find out by the time they are sophomores that they have been unnecessarily considerate. Their game thereafter is to devote themselves to windy question and opposition which, hopefully, may so disarrange the academic gown as to discover feet of ordinary clay. Well, the feet shamelessly uncovered look clay enough, and the insatiable student (O, sacred hunger of ambitious minds), the sophomore, tries to smash Now the professor must save himself if he have salvation in him. He demonstrates that clay is common to all, that to step on others' toes is but a poor way to raise oneself. He alters his tone from the magisterial to the counsel-ling, or shall one say conciliatory. In the long run, that is, for him who can run for four years, the senior finds himself not sitting under an intolerant master, but walking up to the crossroads with a fellow human being, fellow man and fellow student. Page Twenty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" ADMINISTRATION Page Twenty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" Dr. James A. B. Scherer Page Twenty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" PRESIDENT EMERITUS JAMES A. B. SCHERER SOCTOR JAMES A. B. SCHERER, known and loved as the able President of the Institute since 1908, resigned September 11, 1920. Dr. Scherer's resignation was necessitated by the condition of his health resulting from the tremendous strain of his war work. He came to Throop in 1908 and in 1910 manipulated the transfer of the old foundation into Throop College of Technology. In 1920 he again engineered a change, this time to the California Institute of Technology of our knowledge. The twelve years of loyal and faithful service that Dr. Scherer gave to the Institute have been filled with notable achievements. During the war he was Chief of Travel Service, State Council Section, Council of National Defense. Dr. Scherer won for himself the respect and love of all who knew him. Not only is he noted as an author, critic, and speaker of reputation, but also as a very capable administrator. The deep-set feeling with which Dr. Scherer is held by men of the Institute is evidenced by the following resolution which was adopted by them shortly after the opening of this year: "It now seems fitting that we, the students of the California Institute of Technology, express our deep regret at the loss we have sustained in your retirement from the Presidency of our institution. On leaving the Institute you go from us in person only, as your teachings, inspiration, loyalty, and good-fellowship shall live so long as our college exists. "We can only wish you as great a success in your private life as you enjoyed in the Presidency of this institution, and we assure you that your name will live forever in the aims and achievements of California Institute of Page Twenty-five THE 1921 BIG "T" PROF. FRANKLIN THOMAS PROF. CLINTON K. JUDY Faculty Administrative Committees LTHOUGH handicapped by the lack of a president this year, the Institute administration has gone on with remarkable efficiency. Immediately after the resignation of Dr. Scherer, the Trustees appointed the Faculty Administrative Committee. The members of this committee are: Franklin Thomas, chairman, Edward C. Barrett, Arthur A. Noyes, Clinton K. Judy, and Harry C. Van Buskirk. of the Institute. To Professor Franklin Thomas, chairman of the committee, is due much of the credit for this year's successful administration. Professor Clinton K. Judy, Chairman of the Faculty, has also been quite prominent in the administration of Institute affairs. so well organized through its officers and committees that their work has gone he institute steptionally fortunate in having such men as Professor Judy and Professor Thomas as temporary executives in the affairs of the Institute.

Stromsoe Editor Page Thirty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" COMMENCEMENT HE graduation exercises of the Class of 1920 marked a new era in the history of the Institute. Not only was this the largest Senior class up to that time, being the first regular graduating class since 1917, but it was also the first class to graduate under the Institute's, new name. It was on the afternoon of June 13, 1920, that the friends and relatives of the members of the Class of 1920 gathered in front of the Gates Chemical Laboratory for the exercises. After the singing of "America" by the assem-blage, Rev. Leslie E. Learned gave the Chaplain's address. Following this, Malcolm Macurda rendered a very excellent violincello. solo. Then came the address by Dr. George Ellery Hale, which will long be remembered by all who heard it. His subject was "Scientific Research as the Foundation of Engineering Education and Industrial Development." The first degree of Doctor of Philosophy ever given by the Institute was awarded to Roscoe Gilkey Dickinson. Day Ehrenfeld, Howard Domer Hoen-shel and Ernest Haywood Swift were awarded the degree of Master of Science. The following men received the degree of Bachelor of Science: Hartwick Mitchell Barnes, Paul David Barton, Virgil Holmes Best, Warren L. Bueschlein, Alfio Bissiri, James Robert Black, Bruce Burns, George Lewis Cory, Paul Newman Crosby, Elbridge Alvah Goodhue, Abraham Lincoln Hollinger, Jr., Edward Victor Hounsell, Theon Colwell Hounsell, Harvey Walter House, Walter Allen Keith, John Clark Lewis, Harold Ralph Linhoff, Frank Reid Mosher, Russell Morley Otis, Ivan Leroy Payne, William Clothworthy Renshaw, Roscoe Rolland Rockafield, Mark Sawyer, David Frederick Smith, Donald DeWitt Smith, Robert Carson Smith, Harry Prentice St. Clair, George Otto Suman, Lloyd Ensign Towne, James Raymond Wilson, Roscoe Errett Woodbury. Page Thirty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE POLE RUSH The Pole Rush at Tech has always been looked forward to with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest. This year was no exception, as the classes of '23 and '24 had just as many instinctive grievances against each other as Freshman and Sophomore classes always have. It was decided to "fight it out" on Wednesday afternoon, October 12, upon the turf of Tournament Park. The day finally arrived, and great was the excitement among the lower-classmen. The zero hour was set at three o'clock, but the contesting "mobs" were on the field long before the appointed time. Axle grease was used quite promiscuously in "fixing" the pole, and all was in readiness for the Scrubs, who came on the field in a body which to the defenders looked like a battalion of well-trained reserves. The Freshmen formed a huge wedge and the Sophomores grouped themselves around the pole as thickly as their numbers would allow. At three o'clock sharp, Ray Call started the fracas with a shot from his little pop gun. Then for twenty long minutes the spectators saw innumerable wounded pulling themselves or being pulled from beneath that struggling mass of greasy humans. For a while it looked as if the Frosh would come out on top, but as the minutes dragged on the Sophs seemed to be taking care of the youngsters very well. The Freshmen did manage to reach the bit of boomed the Class of canvas once or twice, 3 had the struggle well in hand. but it was all of no avail, and when the final gun The penalty paid by the losers to the winning Sophs was a dance at the Hotel Green, to which the whole student body was invited. Although it was a big job to defeat the sturdy young 'uns, the Sophomores say the dance was decidedly worth the effort. THE CHARGE Page Thirty-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" BIG "T" PARTY They went clambering up the mountain They climbed and climbed with glee, With shovels, picks, and axes, On their way to clean the "T." They picked the gnarled stumps away And rolled them down the hill. They also telled the weeds nearby, And threw them on the fill. They came sliding down the mountain, The class of Twenty-four, And now the "T" looks cleaner Than it's ever looked before. CLEANING OFF LETTER ON MOUNTAIN The annual "T" party was held on Saturday, December 11. Earlv in the morning many ambitious members of the class of '24 had left the toll house and by nine o"clock the majority of the class were hard at work on the mountain side. Due perhaps to the lack of shovels and picks, others contented themselves with shouting encouragement and superfluous commands from the top and less precipitous slope of the However, this superabundant group of "bosses" essential enough so that when the job was considered themselves hally voted o. k. they were as tired and self-satisfied as any. The "Big T" on Mt. Wilson is one of Tech's best known traditions. Until December 25, 1915, it was only an idea, but on that day the entire college under the leadership of Professors Clapp and Van Buskirk took the day off and cleared some seventy thousand square feet of mountainside from its covering of greasewood, cactus, manzanita, and brush. The "T" then measured 300 feet across the top and was 400 feet long. A few weeks later, after an snowfall had covered the "T" and had shown it forth to all between Pasadena and Signal Hill, the men again climbed past Henniger's Flat and removed more of the beauty of nature, this time giving the "T" its present block form. Since that time it has been the dutv-and pleasure—of all the new men in college to take a day off during the first term and make the pilgrimage to "Mecca" that the "Big T" shall stand forth clean, a lasting emblem of the spirit of California Tech. Page Forty THE 1921 BIG "T" FOOTBALL BANQUET When the first annual football banquet was given at Throop, the contemplated absence of a single faculty or student body member was almost enough to cause its postponement. At that time, in 1914, the Tech office was just large enough for the "crowd." This year's banquet, which was held at the I. O. O. F. Hall on December 10, was the best attended of any, with the exception of the one in 1918, during the S. A. T. C. Fully 225 men—professors, students, alumni—came to pay their respects to the team. The team members themselves were theer in all their glory. Some of the men could not refrain from tossing bouquets to their heroes, and before the speeches came most of the table decorations were far from where they started the evening. For the first time in the history of the Institute sweaters were presented to the letter men. CALIFORNIA-OHIO GAME On January 1, 1921, the California Tech campus was host to a big part of the tremendous crowd that came to witness the annual East vs. West football game. The California "sup er-men" won a clean-cut victory and proved them- selves the strongest gridiron team in the country. Gales Chemical Laboratory Stinch Cons Page Forty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" COLTON CEMENT PLANT TRIP On March first the Juniors and Seniors went on a tour of inspection of the cement works at Colton and Crestmore, and the pre-cooling plant at San Bernardino. The first stop was made at Crestmore where Dr. Lacey gave a lecture on the process of cement manufacture at the Riverside Portland Cement Co. Time did not permit the visiting of the interior of the plant, but the general layout was viewed from the side of an adjacent hill. The trip was then continued on to Colton, everyone arriving there by noon. After lunch the superintendent gave a lecture on the process of the California Portland Cement Co. He explained some of the machines and gave the men an idea what to look for in going through the plant. He then conducted them through the plant, from the quarry to the sacking machines. About two-thirty the upperclassmen continued on to the pre-cooling plant at San Bernardino. In this process cars containing the food products are run into compartments and subjected to cold air under pressure for four hours, bringing the temperature down to about forty degrees. Treated in this man- ner food products require less ice in shipping and keep longer. he machines and men stood up well under the long grind and every on ad a better idea of cement manufacture at the end of the da JUNIOR INSPECTION TRIP The week of May 16 seemed to be "Inspection Trip Week" for the upper-classmen, so the Junior Civil Engineers undertook a trip on their own initiative the day following the aqueduct inspection trip. This time they visited the Pasadena City Sewer Farm in San Gabriel. The trip was a part of the course in Sewerage, required of the Civils. The ways and means in which Pasadena disposes of its sewage, although not a pleasant subject, is one of great importance and The fellows had the good luck of having Mr. Demey, City Engineer, as a guide through the plant. Two methods are being used by Pasadena, by the Imhoff tank method and the Cameron type tank. The latter was much the larger of the two but less efficient. Little labor and time are required in the actual disposal of the sewage, when working properly, and it is therefore not a mean job, as many are led to believe. Although the trip was not of the most pleasant sort it was highly instructive and helpful in their work. Page Forty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" THE CEMENT PLANT TRIP Page Forty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" SENIOR DITCH DAY On the twelfth of May, the Institute halls were woefully perturbed— solemn dignity had vanished. Someone then found the following placard, which said much and proved a little. KNow YE: That Whereas We, the Class of 1921, have labored long, faithfully, and true under the domination of a case-hardened faculty; And That Whereas spring has come, and with it has come, also, a feeling of great unrest, a feeling of discontent, a feeling of perpetual lassitude and ennui which cannot be banished by classroom logic; And That Whereas it is meet and proper for kindred souls so afflicted to gather together, so that by recreation and enjoyment of nature we may better withstand decent association with one another we may form a group of men capable of withstanding the tempestuous winds of fate which seek to scatter us upon our commencement day; And That Whereas the Lord when his work of creation was almost fin- ished, rested upon the Seventh Day, thus Be It Ordained and Decreed that this Twelfth Day of May, Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one, be a Day of Rest and the Senior Ditch Day of the Class of 1921, and Be It Further Ordained and Decreed that this Day be dedicated to the relaxation, amusement, and recreation of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Twenty-one, in any manner in which is may decide; And Further that this Day be passed on to the Senior Classes of years to come as a tradition to be kept, guarded, and cherished, faithfully and well. So Be It. THE CLASS OF NINETEEN TWENTY-ONE. The next day—or was it that night—the wayward group returned. Good authority claims they had visited the wicked "wilds" of Ocean Park. Many were others were tired, but the prevalent opinion claimed a more satistactara inspection trip" than any planned by the author ities—and as a tradition it will probably remain for a long time to come. Page Forty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" POWER PLANT INSPECTION TRIP On the seventeenth of May the Junior Classmen who had been doing time in Professor Daugherty's "pipe" courses, sought to enlighten themselves as to the practicability of water machinery and took the day off for a personally conducted trip to power houses numbers one and two on the Los Angeles aqueduct. The first stop was at the San Fernando reservoir. Here the men inspected the large earth-hlled dam, the intake tower and the spillway. The next stop was at the "rapids" and then the party set out on up through the Newhall Tunnel to Dry Lake where the floating weir was investigated. The power houses were next visited and first hand information was ac- quired concerning these remarkable generating stations. Number one was the first inspected, and uses three units, having the possibility of increasing to six in the near future. The turbines are of the impulse type and are oper- ated under a head of about nine hundred feet. The entire water of the aqueduct passes through both stations. At Number Two reaction turbines are used and operated under a head of about five hundred feet. Two units are being used at the present time and seem adequate enough for the immediate future. good deal of rain and mud was encountered on the trip; nevertheless, those interested in the big engineering projects of this locality are satisfied and firmly convinced that the trip had been thoroughly well worth while. PRESS CLUB INITIATION Just prior to the spring vacation six Tech "literary celebrities" received notice that they might have the honor of joining the Press Club if they would undertake to edit a special edition of the Tech. It was made plain then and eventually that the issue was to be in the order of a "razz" sheet. At their first meeting the initiates chose Quirmbach to lead them in the project. The other unfortunates were Hambrook, Klein, Barnes, and Varney. Benioff, On Tuesday, April 5, the result of their labors, "The Hot Rivet," made its first appearance. The din of a boiler factory was utter silence to the noise they made in marketing it, at one "jit" per copy. All had been kept quiet, the flaming sheet created quite a stir. Very few persons escaped unscathed in the broadcast iconoclastic destruction the paper dealt out. Even the initiates were required to handle the copies with asbestos mittens, thus insuring their own safety. That same evening they attended their first meeting with the Press Club, at the home of Prof. MacMinn. The initiation was ended by their giving several original readings and skits. Thus were six members added to the roster of the newly formed Press Club.

MY PROM GIRL! Page Thirty-six D THE 1921 BIG "T" ANCE S Page Forty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" VARSITY CLUB DANCE Tech's 1920-21 social season was auspiciously opened on November 6 by the Varsity Club Dance. This was the first Tech dance to be held in the ball room of the Hotel Maryland. All previous dances given at the Maryland have been in the Palm Room. Stanley's orchestra supplied a type of music that kept the floor crowded until after the last strains of Home Sweet Home. In spite of a heavy downpour a large crowd turned out and enough money was realized to give the members of the football team their well-earned sweaters. FROSH DANCE On December fourth the Pea-greens paid the debt they had incurred by losing the Pole Rush to the Sophs. This payment was their version of a regular dance and was given in the ball room of the Hotel Green. Although the Frosh lost the Pole Rush they won a reputation as hosts to the college. Remarkable as it may seem the punch lasted to the very (not bitter) end. Whaley (a talented freshman) and his orchestra ably furnished the necessary syncopations. Everyone present pronounced it a fine dance, and even the Sophs had no criticisms to make. Page Forty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" THE KEM KLUB KARNIVAL Previous to this year the Chemistry Club has not taken part in the social side of College activities, but this year the Club entered the field by giving a dance. The dance was given at the Hotel Maryland on January 15 and was a very successful affair. The programs were the feature of the evening, each dance being named by some chemical process or reaction. The floor was not crowded and the Chem Club should receive due praise for the good time furnished all on the event of its first social gathering. The music was pronounced the best thus far in the year. It was furnished by Whaley's Orchestra. A. I. E. E. DANCE On January 29th all precedent was smashed by the A. E. I. I. dance, given in hostile territory. The basketball game at the S. B. U. C. gym was topped off with an informal scud, which, with the fine co-operation of S. B. U. C. Student Body officers, proved to be a social, not an hilarious, success. The large crowd gathered in the gym enjoyed Whaley's orchestra and the "Gold Dust"-ed Hoor. And, as much as has been said of the sixteen-to-one ratio at the Southern Branch, the Tech "co-eds" outnumbered the S. B. U. C. femininity certainly in that ratio. Page Forty-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" SOPHOMORE DANCE One of the most enjoyable events on the Caltech social calendar was held! at the Hotel Alexandria, February 11, when the Sophomore Class was host at a dance for the rest of the college-and as many of the Alexandria's guests. as could squeeze on to the floor. A four piece orchestra ably supplemented by a three-handed pianist furn-shed a program of ten dances and two extras which kept the crowd's fee gitated from nine bells until the desperate rally around the family coa hanger. Between struggles the justly famous Alexandria punch was served by sev- eral liveried attendants who proved to be "Maj." Klein's only social rivals. A world of credit is due the Soph dance committee, Evans, Bear, Cox. and Meade, for the great success of the affair. GNOME CLUB INFORMAL The Flintridge Country Club was used for the first time in Institute social affairs on the occasion of the Gnome Club informal given on April 2. Stanley's orchestra was again in evidence and credited themselves in the fashion so often attributed to their brand of syncopation-absolutely un-beatable. The scud came off in splendid fashion and the Gnome Club rates a vote. of acclamation from all who attended. PAJAMBOREE The City of Pasadena was "honored" during the first part of the second term by a visitation from the dorm rats. Practically every man living at the dorm assisted-with the aid of his pajamas. Every show in town was visited on the tour, but at only one-the Strand-were they made to feel even remotely welcome. Pasadena proper proved so unappreciative that the "jam-boreers" decided to let the Broadoaks School get the benefit of their high spirits. The result of their visit there was a little informal dance which was enjoyed at least by the dormers, who pronounced the whole spree a huge Page Fifty THE 1921 BIG "T" DORM DANCES The Dorm Club gave two informal and incidentally two very enjoyable dances this year, on February 26 and May 7. A limited number of tickets were sold each time, which fact put them at a premium several days in advance. Bush and Barnes, assisted by several pieces from Stanley's orchestra, passed out unrivalled syncopations. The punch, though homemade, was no more shunned than the ten-dollar- a-quart kind. The committees in charge of these dances produced results sufficient to make them rank among the most successful functions of the year. JUNIOR PROM Rather than have their dance spoiled by an over-crowded floor, the Juniors issued for it a limited number of door cards. The Prom was given at the Hotel Green on April 23, at the close of its winter season. Stanley's orchestra furnished the music-the kind which kept even the most staid of chaperones out of the secluded corners. To the extreme gratification and surprise of the revelers, and contrary to custom, dancing was allowed to continue until 12:30. It was truly another of the "grandest affairs of the season." SIGMA ALPHA PI DANCE Owing to the death of their brother, Earl V. Studebaker, '24, Sigma Alpha Pi postponed their dance from May 27 to the night of June 10, the last day •of the college year. ONE OF THE DORM AFFAIRS Page Fifty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" THE FRESHMEN DEBATERS THE FRESHMEN DEBATES President. Secretary Fred Groat Oliver Garver CTIVE participation in intercollegiate debate was abandoned by the students of the old Throop College several years ago. This year, Dr. MacArthur, a new man at the Institute, and a man who has for years been interested in forensics, feeling keenly the importance of the argumentative training resulting from the study of debate, called a meeting of all students interested. The upper classmen, feeling their already over-crowded courses of study prohibited their active participation in debate work, turned the meeting over to the freshman class. As a result a Freshman Debating Society was organized and officers elected. Tryouts were held among the freshmen debators who showed promise and a squad was chosen to represent the freshmen in intercollegiate debate, and later three teams were picked from this squad. Tech won two of the three debates scheduled, one from LaVerne College and one from Occidental, losing the third, a dual affair held with Southern Under the leadership of Doctor MacArthur, the Freshman Society has enjoved a truly successful year, and intercollegiate debate is back to stay at Tech.

MORRISON Manager As a premier entertaining organization de luxe, the Glee Club has just ‹ concluded its most popular and successtul season. Concerts given at Alhambra, Huntington Park, Santa Monica, Pasadena and various schools were most enthusiastically received by large audiences and declared to be the best ever. The programs rendered included songs ranging from the heavier classics to light opera selections and rag time. Mr. Douglas Mackenzie, tenor soloist, was in great demand and was always forced to give several encores before being "released." As a side attraction, the B. B. twins, Bush and Barnes, on a piano and banjo, had some novelty acts that were in a class by themselves. Prof. Franklin Thomas coached the men throughout the year and to him is due the credit for the splendid success of the club. Those receiving sweaters are: Herberger, Barnes, Bush, Mackenzie, Akers, Vesper, Mullin, H. Honsaker, Chandler, Morrison (Mgr)., J. Honsaker, Stuafter, Pine, Freeman, Spencer, Bangham, Hahn, Learned, Lownes, Clever, Meade, G. Stone. Page Fifty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" MANDOLIN CLUB This was the first year for the mandolin club and owing to the lack oft available time for practicing, no attempt was made by the members to appear in public. Under the leadership of Bob Hare several enjoyable hikes over the week end were taken by the men to their lonely haunts in the mountains where mandolins, guitars and banjos were oiled up and their sharps and flats made to. mingle with the smoke around the campfire. Plans have already been arranged for a series of concerts during the ensu- ing year. With the exception of Barnes, banjo artist premier, the same bunch will be back, and with the advantage of a previous year's work together, some high class concerts are looked forward to. Page Fifty-five- THE 1921 BIG "T" OR TECHNOND THE TECH BAND THE BAND LTHOUGH being essentially a part of the R. O. T. C. military organization, the band has featured itself in all branches of college activities of the past year. It has done as much as any team towards making California Tech a leader among her rival colleges. Besides playing in all the military reviews the band took part in the Tournament of Roses parade on New Year's Day, offered a fine program at the S. P. A. A. U. Relays on February 19, played at various assemblies, and gave a few concerts in and around Pasadena. An even more intensive program is laid out for next year, as plans are bing made to accompany the football team on all of its trips. As manager, H. R. Day has been most active in promoting social functions for the members. is due the greatest share of the credit for the success the organization has attained. Every four weeks a get-together dinner is given at the Dorm, after which a rehearsal is held and various plans dis-Manton Barnes has shown his marked ability as leader, while Schneider as drum major has kept the little boys agog with his huge horse-hair helmet and remarkable contortions with the silver baton. Page Fifty-six THE 1921 BIG "T" THE SAXAPHONE QUARTET The four saxaphone jazz bandits, known to the underworld as Catlin, Wrestler, Leavitt, and Hall, have kept their audiences in an extreme state of unrest throughout the year. Whenever "pep" was needed for a big rally before a game or meet, a requisition was immediately put into effect for their services along with those of Bush, Barnes & Co. However, the quartet's activities have not been centered around college entirely for they have been just as much in demand for various social and club affairs on the outside. Numerous trips were made with the Glee Club, as an added attraction on the latter's program. "Cat," on his big bass sax, has been acting as leader and has no rival even unto Tom Brown and his famous clown band. Suffie to say, seats sell at a premium with this gang listed on the bills.

SHIPMAN, GENERAL SECRETARY Owing to the resignation of Mr. Robson, last year's general secretary, the cabinet had to seek a new general secretary. He was found in the person of Dr. M. A. Shipman, the associate general secretary of the Pasadena Y. He has been able to come to the Tech Y. on half time only, so his work has been doubly hard. Nevertheless, he has been able to put over a program that has been a decidedly pleasant influence in this year's life of the Institute. DR. M. A. SHIPMAN HE Y. M. C. A. went ahead on the general plan outlined last year with very good success. A general secretary was secured to attend to the main business of the association and an interesting and complete program resulted. The chief activities carried on by the Y during the year included a reception given to the Freshman class at the first of the year, the maintaining of an employment bureau, the conducting of bible classes, the annual members' ban- ‹quet, and a series of addresses on the world's leading religious sects. Other activities consisted of a delegation to the Asilomar Christian Lead- • ership Conference, several social events in conjunction with Pasadena's leading • churches, assembly speakers under the auspices of the Y, and regular Wednesday noon religious meetings which were particularly well arranged and attended.

HANS KRAMER FOREWORD To: All Tech Men, Everywhere. Subject: Carrying a Rifle in College. 1.. I didn't raise my boy to be a soldier was a favorite tune within recent Its appeal and sentiment were soon forgotten, however, in conflict. The words "I didn't come to college to carry a rifle" have not yet been set to music, but their prevalence cannot be denied. Popularizing military training is as difficult as enforcing the eighteenth amendment. Why?— because it is the nature of the independent American to look askance upon anything that savors of restriction of his personal liberty or that tends to suppress his individuality. About military discipline there is as much misconception as there is about the theory of relativity. Discipline is loyal obedience. It is cultivated by the same methods in both civil and military life. The distinction that is often made is that punishments are prescribed by law for infractions of military discipline while no punishments are prescribed by law for infractions of discipline in a civil organization. Yet discipline, loyal obedience, must be maintained in a successful civilian organization engaged in engineering or any other work. The man who persistently defies his employer is simply eliminated from the scheme of things. The purpose of the World War was to make the world safe for democracy. For this end our government expended billions in treasure and thousands of lives. Today the newspapers tell of long lists of slackers. Let's get nearer home— Is it a disgrace to carry a rifle in college? HANS KRAMER, Captain, Corps of Engineers. Page Sixty THE 1921 BIG "T" SGT. BAILEY SGT. POUNDS M. SGT. LARACY SGT. COOK Reserved Officers Training Corps at California Tech T the close of the last college year the Institute authorities decided to drop military training from the curriculum. As a sort of farewell to its reign at Tech, some sixty men took advantage of the summer training offered to Engineer R. O. T. C. units at Camp Humphreys, Virginia. The true value of the work they did there, both to themselves and the country, made a decided impression on them. Realizing this value, a petition was presented to the Board of Trustees, signed by all the men who attended the camp, asking that military training be again installed as a part of the college work. The provision was made, however, that the work, insofar as was possible, should follow the same general lines as that given at Humphreys. The desired consent was given, with the result that the Military Department has just completed the most successful year since its installment in 1916. Not only have the 200 men taking the courses been benefited thereby, but the nation has profited by the training they have received, which fits them for possible emergencies. Intensive training in pontoon bridge building, signaling, knots and lash- ings, etc., was given the freshmen structed by Captain Kramer in field fortifications, demolitions, reconnaissance, and mapping. The seniors received courses in martial law and permanent fortifications. Several interesting problems were given by the Captain, among them the mapping of a portion of the City of San Marino (another section of which will be mapped next year), and the preparation of reports on the possible utilization of Tournament Park as a semi-permanent cantonment for a regiment of engineers. The solution of this problem also required the making of a map. Page Sixty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" The department succeeded in distinguishing itself in several ways during: the year. The two rifle teams, composed of ten men each, and alternates, from the Advanced and Basic groups respectively, got second and third places in the Ninth Corps Area shoot. Seventeen teams, representing twelve colleges in the Ninth Corps Area, competed in the shoot. Vesper was high man with 184, Stromsoe second with 183, and Reynolds tied for third with a man from the University of California at 182. The University of California won the shoot by two points. The battalion was ranked high in general efficiency and training among: the R. O. T. C. units throughout the country. The success of the year is due to the earnest and tireless work of Captain Kramer and his assistants, Sergeants Laracy, Bailey, Pounds, Cook and Ger--hardt, supplemented by the wholehearted support of the cadet battalion.

HUMPHRIES, VIRGINIA SIXTY-EIGHT men will take the six weeks course in military engineering given at Camp Humph-reys this summer. The men from Tech who attended last year were practically the life of the camp. They founded and edited a camp book, "The Sketching Board," organized baseball and basketball teams, and succeeded generally in taking a leading place among representatives from such colleges and universities as Massachusetts Institute of Technol-ogy, Oregon, and Yale. With Captain Kramer's training of the year just closing and their own interest in the work to back them, the college can be sure that the men who go east will again make a creditable showing at the camp, and will be prominent among men from the best colleges in the country. Captain Kramer, a West Point graduate of 1919, first made the acquaintance of Tech men at last summer's camp, where he was Adjutant. At the beginning of the year he was transferred here as Professor of Military Science and Tactics. His earnestness in helping the men to get the most possible from the courses his department offered has won him the men's appreciation, and his spirit of good fellowship their respect and liking. Without such men as the five sergeants to help him, even Captain Kramer's efforts to make the military work worth while would have amounted to little. The sergeants did more than merely earn their pay from the Government. They spent many extra hours on their work, and nearly every game or meet in which the college took part has sported the presence of at least one rooter from the Military Department.

A. T. C. had been disbanded. Before that time it had been a monthly magazine of principally literary and technical To Douglas Stromsoe and Lester Warner, the first Editor and Manager, a great deal of credit is due for the time and effort spent in placing the first weekly on a creditable basis. They were succeeded by Sinclair Smith and Don McCreery, and the size was increased by half. Arthur Garfield and Wynne Mullin took the joint responsibility last year and for a time the present size was adopted. These early editors and managers were constantly being hampered by financial diffi-culties, until finally the Student Body voted to take over the responsibility of finances, and this year, under the capable leadership of Frederic Maurer and Charles Varney, the Tech has grown to truly representative proportions and has become indispensable in the life of the Institute.

BARNES Manager EFORE the innovation of the Tech as a weekly, the year book was merely an elaborated edition of the Tech. Last year under the editorship of George Suman the "Annual" took on the appearance of a genuine college year book and bloomed forth with art work, cloth binding and a distinctive name, "The Orange and White." This year the editors not in sympathy with the above title and changed it to the "BIG T," typical of our most famous tradition and "un- deniably our own," whereas the other, though certainly adequate, savored too much of an imitation of the U. C.'s "Blue and Gold." The editorial staff this year was organized into several departments, each staff representing a book and headed by an editor who worked separately with his own staff. The entire book was supervised and put together by the editor-in-chief. The business manager ran up against several difficulties. Advertising receipts fell to a little better than half of what they had been the year before, printing and. engraving were, on the contrary, up thirty per cent, and the necessitated rise in price caused some sixty student body men not to buy; on the whole a formidable problem. Nevertheless the book is here, and whatever it is, it is representative of the ascertainable best efforts of the Associated Student Body. Page Seventy-two THE 1921 BIG "T" галя THE INSTITUTE Clyde R.

He does this often by penetrating the wilderness or desert and altering the conditions produced by nature so that some element of na- ture, unserviceable by itself, may be transposed and become of great usefulness. Flowing water may be directed so as to yield its energy, or it may be diverted hundreds of miles to make the proverbial blades of grass grow where none grew Within the province of the engineer is the task of overcoming the isolation resulting from dis-tance, or from natural barriers. The civil engi- neer is needed not alone in pioneer regions, for where population is most dense, there is the necessity for establishing sanitary conditions, and also for providing rapid and inobstructed transportation facilities. The materials with which the civil engineer achieves his results are as varied as his problems or the environment in which he may work.

Again the electrical engineer dreams and out of his fancy come strange and powerful mechanisms of copper, steel and fabric, which transform the depths of the earth into electrical energy, for ease of transportation, and then again, into energy of motion or heat at convenient points of application. Thus endeth the first period of his endeavor and all is well, for by making it possible to use in habitable place the natural energy of unhabitable places the electrical engineer has done much to eliminate from the problem of mankind a consideration of space, one of the great obstacles in the way of human accom- Page Eighty-five THE 1921 BIG "T" RAYMOND W.

Page Eighty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" TESTING MACHINE Page Eighty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" GRADUATES IN MECHANICAL ENGINEERING ROFESSOR Pupin of Columbia University once defined the mechanical engineer as a man "who makes things go" as contrasted with the civil engineer, "who makes things stand." He also said the terms "mechanical," "civil," "electrical," etc., had done more to hurt engineering education than any other thing. It is true that the mechanical engineer is the man called upon to design, or to the machinery of the world. Much of his work has to do with the theory of machines, and the design of parts which are to move with great speed. To that extent he should be grounded in the mechanics of motion, ROET. I. DAUGHERTY just as the civil engineer needs to have a highly specialized knowledge in statical design. The danger in the use of the terms "mechanical," "electrical," etc., is too early specialization. The California Institute of Technology has seen from the first that all engineering is applied science, and that the engineer of today, whatever his specialty, must first of all be rigidly grounded in the principles of Science. This policy is one of our greatest assets as a College of Technology.

FORGY THE 1921 BIG "T" THE ASSOCIATED STUDENT BODY HE Student Body government faced a big task at the beginning of vear—that of the first year under the new Constitution. The "Tech" was edited and put out as in the past by the elected editor and manager, but for the first time it had the sound financial backing of the A. S. B. and turned in a profit when the accounts were closed. The Annual, too, had the A. S. B.'s financial backing. The budget of the Executive Committee was the largest ever drawn up, and called for total expenditures of over $3,000, including, however, some permanent supplies, such as office desks and a typewriter. The A. S. B. and its work, as accomplished through the Executive Com-mittee, has this year been under the leadership of President Hambrook, and the success of his administration speaks for itself as a testimonial to the loyal and efficient services which he has rendered. The Vice President, Jesse Burks, not only has had his duties in connection with the work of A. S. B. administration, but also has had upon his shoulders the leadership of the Board of Control. Robert Hare, as Treasurer, has faced considerable detail work in connection with the inauguration of the new triplicate requisition system, and has proved himself to be thoroughly efficient and capable. by The sit nod yet ti as worhas ten the deans, heis showie cion he has showed him- self to be the man for the place. Edward G. Forgy, as Secretary, faithfully kept a "true record of all proceedings" throughout the year. Beside these five, the Executive Committee has had the Publicity Man-ager, Howard G. Vesper; two representatives at large, Artemus Hickey and Edward G. Kemp; and, by invitation, the Editor of the Tech, Frederic A. Maurer.

E. E. has experienced a remarkable growth during the past year. Starting with a nucleus of five members from the 1920 society and with the able assistance of the Electrical Department, the chapter has been built up to a membership of over forty. Since the first meeting a policy of co-operation with the other technical societies has been the aim and this spirit has dominated all A. I. E. E. activities and technical meetings during the year. A dance given under the auspices of the society at the University of California, Southern Branch, set a new precedent and extended the spirit of co-operation even beyond the Student Body. The college meetings as well as those of the Los Angeles section of the A. I. E. E. have been well attended and have been a stimulus to the achievements and ambitions of the students.

Thomas of the board of managers of the National A. S. M. E., Mr. Doolittle, chairman of the Los Angeles section, and Mr. Carman, president of the national society. The Student Branch of the A. S. M. E. has taken its place among the successful societies on the campus. With a well made foundation and a bright future the society will become one of the leading and most important societies in the Institute.

Such an organi- zation has lone been needed, but it was only recently that the national society authorized student branches. The college society aims to secure greater co-operation among the students of civil engineering, to obtain eminent speakers on civil engineering topics, and to keep in close contact with the national society and the work that its members are doing. Several important meetings have been held and the membership has increased steadily. A good bit of enthusiastic interest has been displayed by a broom otive members, and it is expected that in the future the society will great value to both its members and the Institute.

The last half hour of each meeting was devoted to a short talk by some member of the Club on some subject of chemical interest with which he was familiar. The social activities of the Club included the successful Kem Klub Karnival, and a week-end trip to Forest Home, in the San Bernardino Moun-tains. The past year has been a very pleasant and profitable one for the Chem Club and plans are already being formulated to make next year even more successful.

Vice President Secretary-Treasurer. Alfred C. Catland Howard G. Vesper Hubert A. Reeves HE Varsity Club entered into the second year of its life at California Tech by giving a dance at the Hotel Maryland on November the sixth. This dance was acclaimed as a huge success by all those who were lucky enough to have attended. The proceeds were used to buy the football letter men ruff-neck sweaters. It is hoped that this custom will become a tradition at California Tech and be one of the Varsity Club's annual events. Each year as the college grows and athletics become more firmly estab-lished, in spite of the limited time alloted to them, the Varsity Club grows in proportion and its members act as a single group to toster a clean sportsmanlike attitude, both in the rooters and the contestants. The student body knowing that the members of the Varsity Club, in order to become members, have to have the welfare of the college athletics at heart are willing to accept the decisions of the Club in regard to all questions arising between the faculty and the student body over athletics and their proper functioning. This makes it possible for the Varsity Club to render service to the student body by seeing that the efforts of those taking part in the inter-collegiate sports are directed so as to bring the greatest amount of glory to their Alma Mater. The insignia adopted by the Varsity Club is a small gold "T" with the word Varsity engraved across the top.

Page One Hundred Twenty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" THE PRESS CLUB HE beginning of the year 1921 found a Press Club an actual realit! the undergraduate associations of the Institute. The clul was organized for the pleasure and interest of the men who have been the most instrumental in making the college publications, THE CALIFORNIA TECH and THe BIG T what they are today. Among the charter members are three former editors of the "Tech," as well as the editor for the year 1920-21. Active members must be from the upper classes, and must have contributed to one or the other of the two college publications. The membership is thus limited in order that the Club may have greater unity and a more dignified in view, as well as to inspire greater literary activity among the underclassmen staff members. The program of the club as outlined in the Constitution is "the promotion of literary activity in the Institute, as affecting the quality of reading matter in the student publications, the stimulation of active rather than passive interest of all Institute men in their newspaper and annual, and the forging of closer ties among the members of the staffs." A number of interesting and enjoyable meetings have been held during the year. The Club has proven its value, and with such a broad purpose and such an interested group of members, the Press Club will doubtless become one of the most worth while organizations at "Tech."

However, none is calculated to have so far reach- ing an effect upon student life as the Honor Point System. Briefly, the plan provides an appropriate recognition to those students who have contributed most to the success of student activities. Honor points are given as provided by the student body constitution for participation in the various activities of the college. Those men receiving twelve points or over in one year are awarded an honor key. Exception is made of the editors of the Annual and Tech and of the Student Body president; who receive a key by winning six points in one award. The winning of an honor key is an end well worth striving for, as is evidenced by the number of men who will receive them this year. There has been a noticeable increase in the number of men taking part in athletics. Next year the result should be even more marked. There is a standing committee which has charge of the honor point records. The committee is also looking after the choosing of a design. Its members this year are: E. L. Morrison, F. C. Makosky, H.

They are some sixty in number, and throughout the year have many times shown themselves to be the backbone of support for Tech activities. Living in such close proximity to the scene of affairs, it is cly natural that they should take a big interest in the things that are going on. Ramseyer, G. M. Schofield, S. Hall, A. C.

SORENSON Advisor ROBERT GRAY Assistant Manager SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INTERCOLLEGIATE CONFERENCE By Royal W. Sorenson VERY American college of standing realizes that a well educated man is educated physically as well as mentally and spiritually. Living conditions in these days of automobiles and other modern conveniences make it necessary for colleges to provide means where- by its students may get in an artificial way the physical education which was once a part of every young man's natural life. College sports and intercollegiate competitive games provide a means of expression and development for the vigorous students who are skillful enough to participate on representative teams, but they are not a proper substitute for a physical education program, though they may properly be a part of it. Intercollegiate competition also forms a nucleus about which an entire student body may build many of its college traditions, and it forms a medium through which the student body members as "rooters" may give expression to their college loyalty, a function of no small importance because it may be so largely instrumental in instilling in the newer students a spirit of loyalty which will be a valuable asset through life. Again, intercollegiate sports provide a channel through which the old "grads" and the college-supporting community may receive a touch of the college life with its enthusiasm of youth and be thereby stimulated and re- freshed for new endeavor in the serious business of life in which they are Page One Hundred Forty THE 1921 BIG "T" engaged. These graduates and the public, having once experienced the thrill of this contact, demand it often and without reason. The gambler has found in the activity incidental to intercollegiate competition a chance to apply his trade; the merchants of the community and, unfortunately, the colleges in some cases, have found it an advertising medium of value. These are real difficulties, but they are outweighed by the good and the fact still remains that the lessons gained by engaging in these sports are so valuable as to make it desirable for every student to have opportunity to participate in some form of athletic competition which involves team work. For this reason an appropriate athletic program should be encouraged. In Southern California there are six colleges and small universities operating under very similar conditions in many ways. The faculties of these institutions are in accord regarding the status of intercollegiate competition and college sport, in that they consider them a part of a general physical education program which, in turn, is but a limited part of an entire college curriculum. Also these faculties think they are in a better position to determine upon a program in keeping with the ideals and welfare of the college than are students who remain but a college generation; moreover, it is the belief of these faculties that what is good for one is good for all. On this basis, the Southern California Intercollegiate Conference was organized more than seven years ago and so harmonious has it been in all its operations as to leave no doubt regarding the soundness of the things for which the Conference stands. For the guidance of its members a printed constitution has been drawn up and this constitution has never in any way been considered a set of blue laws to be enforced upon some members of the Conference by the other members. So complete has been the effort at co-operation in the observance of this constitution by faculty and students of the institutions making up the Conference that each has implicit trust in the intentions of the other colleges. Thereby hangs the record of its success, for it has been a factor of no small note in the upbuilding of the proper kind of college athletics in Southern California and along the Pacific Coast. The members of this Conference are: California Institute of Technology; Occidental College: Pomona College; Southern Branch, University of Cali-fornia; University of Redlands; Whittier College. Page One Hundred Forty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" COACH SAM TENNISON Coach S. A. Tennison came to the California Institute of Technology with a very good record from Springfield College, Springfield, Illinois. He has had charge of the football and track squads, and has had a fairly successful year. Coach Tennison also directly supervised the work of the Freshmen and Sophomore gymnasium classes. COACH RAY CALL Coach Ray Call, who graduated from the California Institute of Tech-nology, then Throop College, in 1915, had charge of the basketball and track squads during the past year. As an active participant in the athletic activities of Throop College, he perhaps more than any other man realizes the peculiar Page One Hundred Forty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" THE ATHLETIC YEAR By Frederic Maurer of good sportsmanship, but established an even higher standard of athletic conduct for the guidance of future Tech athletic teams. Here at Tech, if at any Institution, must the athlete be guided, not by the selfish interest of personal popularity, but by the noble one of service to his Alma Mater. In so far as Tech men have been guided by this principle, the California Institute of Technology has had a very successful season. In the matter of winning athletic contests, which after all seems to be the criterion of success or failure, Tech has been fairly successful, and has really done better than could reasonably have been expected. With time for practice reduced to a minimum, and the "wee, sma' hours o' the night" of necessity spent in study, it is a real man's job to compete for first honors with some of our less work-burdened contemporaries. The skeptic must also bear in mind that only in rare and isolated instances does Tech draw upon high school for her student body. In most cases Tech athletes develop while in attendance at the Institute. In football C. I. T. was surprised only by Pomona and Occidental, who finished first and second in the order named. In basketball, S. B. U. C. and Redlands finished ahead of C. I. T. The Engineers acknowledged Pomona's, Redlands' and Occidental's supremacy in track. The Engineer racquet swingers were defeated by Pomona only, and this after a hard struggle. At the present writing, Tech's standing in the baseball and swimming race is undecided, but she will probably finish high in the baseball standing, and should take first place in swimming, as practically all of last year's championship team is trying out. A most interesting as well as encouraging feature of the past year was the great interest shown in Freshman athletics. The Freshmen have put a team into the field in every major sport, and their teams have been duly successful. The Frosh football team had an excellent line, and a real "punch" in the backfield. It made a name for itself by holding the highly touted Occidental Freshman team to a 7-7 tie. The Freshman basketball team lost a close game • to the Occidental frosh by one point, and defeated the S. B. U. C. frosh. The experience gained by the Freshmen will be of immense help to them in their fight for Varsity berths next year, while the rapidly growing student body will in a few years attain to such size as to make possible the turning out of record-breaking It is hoped that by next year a gymnasium and swimming pool will have been erected on the campus. If the gymnasium is erected, Tech's basket men will make a very strong bid for the Championship. Page One Hundred Forty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" FOOTBALL FOREWORD WOOTBALL, truly the king of American sports, has always had the proud distinction at Tech of inciting in its behalf more school spirit, pep, and active participation than any other sport, either major or minor. Football is a game that develops in the player all the valuable qualities of physical strength, courage, determination and skill so preeminently required by the Engineer, and it is perhaps for this reason that so much interest is displayed in the sport. When, at the beginning of the college year, Coach Tennison issued his call for football men, the response of the student body was encouraging in-deed. More men turned out than there were uniforms for, and until new uniforms could be obtained, most anything had to do. Prospects were decidedly indicative of a successful year, as, representing last year's squad were Capt. Catland, Lavagnino, Stenzil, Hambrook, Webster, Rohloff, Groat, Mullin, Hickey and Rico. Many men who were new to the squad, but who later proved to be very valuable material, turned out to add to the competition for first squad berths. Bugbee, Evans, Catlin, Wilson, Payne and Davis were those who made up the rest of the Varsity squad. Hood, Seares, Arnold, Crissman, Miller, Blakeley and Cox were the second string men who remained out all season and received monograms. In addition a Freshman squad was organized and a regular schedule played. The loss of Hollinger and Klein from the line, while keenly felt, resulted in a better balanced team, both as regards weight of individual players, and their ability. Bugbee and Evans, no pigmies themselves, filled the places left vacant in a very creditable style. Page One Hundred Forty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" FOOTBALL JG Page One Hundred Forty-five THE 1921 BIG "T" THE 1920 FOOTBALL SQUAD CAPTAIN CATLAND Alfred C. Catland, who piloted the 1920-21 football squad and tackle thereon, was pre-eminently fitted for this position. He was a football star in his high school days at Santa Ana. He has played three seasons of college football besides having played on service teams. He undoubtedly has more knowledge of football than any other man on the squad. CAPTAIN-ELECT GROAT Edmund T. Groat, who was chosen to lead next year's football team, has had wide experience both on the line and in the backfield. He played on the 1920-21 squad, and held down this difficult position in creditable style. Groat has two seasons of college football to his credit. Page One Hundred Forty-six THE 1921 BIG "T" THE U. S. C. AFFAIR THE GAMES After a short two weeks of practice, the C. I. T. gridiron squad journeyed over to U.S. C. and met the powerful U.S. C. aggregation in the first game of the season. While the game was an altogether one-sided affair in favor of U.S. C. it was a valuable experience for the Engineers for it afforded invaluable practice, and brought out the weakness and the strength of their organiza-The line showed unexpected strength, while the backfield showed the need of training. Mullin caught a forward from Lavagnino late in the game and romped over the line for Tech's only tally. The score, U.S. C. 46, Tech 7, was very good in view of the fact that U. S. C. had one of the best gridiron aggregations on the coast. GROAT BUGBRE CAPT. CATLAND Page One Hundred Forty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" INDIAN GAME The following week, on the Tournament Park turf, the Sherman Indians went down to deteat by the large score of 61-6. Although the Indians played hard and tought every minute, they showed a lack of training and coaching. They had practically no organization, and consequently it was easy for Tech The game afforded some valuable practice, although it resembled very much a track meet. The Indians' lone tally was the result of an intercepted pass which a watchful Indian managed to convert into a touchdown. EVANS DAVIS PAYNE Page One Hundred Forty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" POMONA GAME The first Conference football game was with Pomona College at Clare-mont. The Tech squad was all primed for the fray, and played very good ball, but it went up against a stone wall when it hit the Sagehen line. The Sagehens, who as it later developed and was at first apparent, had the best football team in the Conference, did not have a great deal of trouble in breaking through the Tech line for four touchdowns in all. Their interference was excellent, and it was evident that they were well trained in the game. The feature of the game from the Tech standpoint was the 80 yard run to touchdown by "Big Boy Rico" in the last quarter with but a few minutes to The score came as the result of a blocked place kick. Lavagnino con- STENZEL MULLIN WILSON Page One Hundred Forty-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" WHITTIER GAME The "Thundering Thousand" journeyed over to see Whittier mop up the Engineers, but were forced to see the Poets routed by the hardy Engineers. Score, Tech 21, Whittier 7. The Poets showed flashes of brilliancy now and but their tricks failed to bewilder the Tech line, which never failed to hold in a case of necessity. "Jitz" Lavagnino contributed very materially to the victory, for by continual kicking the Whittier team was held on its own territory until Tech got a chance to score. The first tally came in the second quarter as the result of a series of neat passes, Groat going over the line. After a series of plunges by Stenzel and Lavagnino, Payne bucked the ball over in the second half for the second tally of the game. The third score came in the fourth quarter after a series of bucks by Stenzel and Lavagnino, Stenzel carrying the ball over. LAVAGNINO KEMP HAMBROOK Page One Hundred Fifty THE 1921 BIG "T" THE BLOCKED PUNT THAT GAVE OXY THE GAME OCCIDENTAL GAME With one defeat and one victory to its credit, the team felt that nothing could stop it when it got to going in the Oxy game, and the rest of the College felt the same way. Occidental had been running into some tough luck in the first of the season, and, as is likely to be the case, her ability was greatly underrated by the Engineers. Nevertheless, Tech probably came as near beating her old rival Oxy in this as she has ever come, as Tech 7, Occidental 12—will show. The game was somewhat spoiled during the first half by an excessive number of penalties, but during the last half more freedom was allowed. The game proved to be one of the closest and exciting of the whole season. ROHLOFF CATLIN WEBSTER Page One Hundred Fifty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" S. B. U. C. GAME The Engineers had rather an easy time defeating the Southern Branch of the University of California by the lop-sided score, Tech 32, S. B. U. C. 0. The game was rather lifeless during the first half, which ended 9-0. But during the second half the Engineers got into their stride and succeeded in piling up a 32-0 score before the final whistle. A number of "regulars" were out of the game on account of sickness, which allowed second team members to get out on the field and display their prowess. Lavagnino was in fine condition. He scored two drop kicks and a touch-down, and converted two of the four touchdowns which were made. He gained on every exchange of punts, and it was in this respect that Tech gained much of her ground. Stenzel, Wilson, and Catlin, playing in the backfield, each made a touchdown. Wilson, although the lightest man on gained ground consistently. Page One Hundred Fifty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" REDLANDS GAME The Redlands game, last of the games to be played, proved to be the closest, and one of the hardest fought, of them all. Expecting a rather easy victory over the Baptists, the Tech team was surprised by the fight of the Redlands team, and had to work hard to avoid getting beaten 7-0. For three periods of ceaseless, useless line plunging, during which time neither team was able to penetrate the defense of the opposing team, the aerial route was re-to, and proved to be fruitful for both aggregations. Redlands was first to score—by means of two passes and a thirty yard run. The touchdown had a beneficial effect on the Engineers, who, using the same tactics, ran the ball to the Redlands 3-yard line, assisted by a fumble on Redlands' part. Lavagnino carried it over from here, and, while all the grandstand held its breath, booted the ball over the sticks for the one point which tied the score. Neither team was able to make anything after this, and the game ended shortly after. Page One Hundred Fifty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" THE RESERVES In addition to the men who received letters for work on the Varsity squad there were eight men who received all the hard knocks which the Varsity had in store for them, worked just as hard as did the Varsity, and fulfilled their task in the same creditable manner. To say that the football team would be worthy of existence without the backing of a strong second squad is unneces-sary—it is a fact familiar to everyone. The scrubs contributed very materially to the success of the football team this year. The second squad was composed of Blakeley, Benioff, Crissman, Hood, Cox, Arnold, Seares and Miller. Hood, Miller, Crissman, Cox and Arnold generally held the line positions, while Seares, Blakeley and Benioff had positions in the backfield. No games were scheduled with other second squads. Scrimmages with the Varsity and Freshman squads afforded the second string men their only recre-ation. Most of them got into some of the big games for a brief period, but these rare occasions were something to be cherished by the members of the scrub team. It is for this reason that the more credit should be extended to the men. What coaching they got was "leavin's," as the bulk of Coach Tennison's time was taken up with the Varsity, while Coach Call spent most of his time on the Freshman team. In spite of this they succeeded in working up a very creditable organization, which gave the two organizations just mentioned some stiff scrimmages. Page One Hundred Fifty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" THE FRESHMAN SQUAD was a credit to the Institute. A Freshmen League was authorized by the Conference officials, and Tech, Occidental and S. B. U. C. entered Freshmen teams. It was practically impossible to obtain practice games, so the Frosh obtained practice by acting as door-mats for the Varsity and scrubs and generally held their own against these first string aggregations. The first league game was with the University of California Southern Branch. The game was played on a wet field, and fumbles were numerous, which certainly had their effect on the final outcome. S. B. U. C. won, 14-0. The second game was with Occidental and in this game the Frosh more than vindicated themselves. Occidental had defeated the Branch 19-0 and were supposed to have the best Freshman team in the South, so naturally the 7-7 tie which was handed the Occidental Freshmen came as an unexpected sur- prise.

Its passing and team work were almost perfect, but its weakness lay in the fact that the individual members could not shoot the casaba through the hoop with the same unfailing regularity that their opponents did. With a gymnasium on the campus next year, it will be possible for the men to practice more frequently and thus develop the art of shooting baskets. In order to get into shape for the conference games the Caltech basketers took on some of the best teams in Southern California. Although it did not win all these contests, the team gained some excellent practice and good ex-perience. After meeting such teams as the L. A. A. C.'s speedy quintette, the experienced U. S. C. squad, the La Verne College crew and the hard-hitting Alhambra Elks, the Tech squad was in shape to run into most anything. The Conference schedule of two games each week followed close on the heels of the practice affairs. Two games were played with each of the Conference Colleges-Pomona, Occidental, Whittier, Redlands and the Southern Branch of the University of California. There were no great changes in the line-up of this year's team and that of last year. Linne Larson at running guard played his usual brilliant game and was easily Tech's most valuable player. Captain Hickey at standing guard was a bulwark of defense. Forwards of the opposing teams generally found it convenient to try for baskets from the middle of the court. Mintie at center played a good consistent game. Timmons and Payne, the usual forwards, both of whom played on last year's freshman squad, played well together. Priddy and Vesper, the two other forwards, did good work. Schneider at guard dis- played considerable cleverness. Lavagnino, forward on last year's team, grad-uated, and Joe Larson stayed out a year to work. Otherwise all lettermen from last year were represented in this year's squad. Other men on the basketball squad were: Alles, Wilson, Bugbee and Thompson. These men received a monogram. The following freshmen, members of the freshman basketball squad, received numerals: Maltby, Waite, Barton, Smith, Moyse, Garver, Campbell and Pardee. Page One Hundred Fifty-six THE 1921 BIG "T" B ASKET BALL J.G Page One Hundred Fifty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" THE 1921 BASKETBALL VARSITY CAPTAIN ART HICKEY Art Hickey, Captain and guard of the 1920-21 Varsity basketball squad, is one fighting fool. Many a score has been kept low because of his fight and skill. Hickey has finished his second successful baskethall season. He will be back next year, much to the chagrin of the forwards of opposing teams. CAPTAIN-ELECT COLIN TIMMONS Colin Timmons, captain-elect for 1921-22, has had considerable experience in basketball. He played for Manual Arts during his prep school training, and last year played on the fast Freshman five. As an experienced foreward, he proved to be one of Tech's bulwarks of strength during the past season. With all but one of this year's Varsity squad playing the game next year, Timmons should head a successful squad. Page One Hundred Fifty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs. Pomona, January 15 Pomona's Sage Hen aggregation succeeded in defeating the Tech five in a hard-fought contest at the Pasadena "Y." This game-the first conference tilt-was featured by many fouls. The Engineers showed early season form, frequent fumbles and hard luck in shooting baskets being evident. Payne and Timmons at forward, Larson and Hickey at guard, and Mintie at center all put up a fine exhibition. At the end of the first half the score was close, Pomona maintaining a slight lead. Mackenzie went in at forward in the second half and played a good game. The game was extremely close until the last few minutes of play, when the Sage Hen forwards got loose and brought the score up to a seven point lead. Pomona's shots from the center of the floor were the feature of the contest. Score: Tech 28, Pomona 35. California Tech vs. Whittier, January 28 This game was more like a football game or a boxing match than a basketball game, both teams exhibiting considerable love for their opponents. The referee was so busy trying to keep out of the way that he didn't see the multitude of fouls that were constantly being committed. Art Hickey got a fine "shiner" when he collided with one of the 4xt's at the end of the Whittier "barn." The game was featured by the extremely few goals from the floor. Only eight field goals were made by both teams, and of these Tech made five. Timmons and Larson played well for the Engineers, while Pickett and Weaver starred for the Poets. The game ended: Tech 18, Whittier 9. Page One Hundred Fifty-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs. Occidental, January 22 The team seemed to have hit its stride in this game with Tech's old rival, each player performing in fine style. Oxy usually furnishes plenty of good competition, so, as usual, this contest wasn't any walk-away. Tech started off with a rush and secured a good lead before Oxy woke up. The half ended with the score 23-12 in favor of Tech. Payne, Timmons and Larson rang up a good many points during the first part of the second frame, but near the close of this period the Tigers seemed to go on the rampage, and succeeded in getting within one basket of tying the score. The gallery went wild. succeeded in gaining a new lead of three baskets, and at the final whistle were in the lead. Schneider playing for Hickey played a good consistent game. Priddy, Vesper and Bugbee got in for a few minutes of play in the last period. Final score: Tech 34, Oxy 28. California Tech vs. Redlands, January 26 After a long, cold, uneventful ride and a colder gym, the Tech basketers couldn't get in form. The casaba wouldn't fit the basket somehow, no matter how carefully it was tossed. The first half was noticeable on account of the very few goals made by both teams. "Father" Dye's eye was on the hog, and none of the Tech outfit could see the basket at all. In the second half Redlands opened up and seemed to shoot baskets at will. Dye and Troyer, with Lackaye feeding them the ball, made baskets regularly. Larson was closely guarded throughout the game, and so the Tech score was not as large as it might have been. Mintie at center, and Captain Hickey both played consistent, heady games. The last whistle found the score: Tech 19, Redlands 33. California Tech vs. S. B. U. C. January 29 Tech met the Southern Branch on the Branch's court and lost a hard-fought game. The score stood nearly even at the close of the first half. Tech couldn't connect with the hoop, although try after try was undertaken. Mintie, Larson, Hickey, Payne and Timmons started the game. In the second half the Cubs started off with a vengeance and established a good lead. Larson went out on personal fouls, incurred during his scrap with the two watchful Cub guards. Schneider took his place. Timmons shot some good baskets in the second strain, but the Cubs' lead was too much. The final verdict was: Tech 18, S. B. U. C. 32. A dance was given in the gym immediately after the game by the A. I.E.E., co-operating with S. B. U. C., and was dubbed a success by all present. Page One Hundred Sixty THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs. Pomona, February 2 The Tech basketers decisively defeated the Pomona Sage Hens in the second round of the Conference schedule on the Pomona court. The Engineer forwards got loose early in the contest and hung up a good lead. Larson was closely guarded and was unable to shake his man long enough to bring the score up much. Payne and Timmons were working well, Payne ringing up five goals and Timmons six. Hickey and Mintie played consistent defense, the former keeping a watchful eye on Taylor and so keeping the Pomona score down. This young fellow, however, succeeded in getting in some wonderful shots from the center of the floor. The game was hotly contested and the score was very close throughout. Final score: Tech 35, Pomona 31. California Tech vs. Whittier, February 5 The Whittier squad turned the tables on the Tech five on the Pasadena "Y" court, defeating the Engineers 28-25. The contest was more of a pole rush than a basketball game. The Poets were in good shape, while the Tech quintette was off form. Larson and Hickey, however, played good consistent ball. The Whittier crew lived up to the reputation the Quaker City has had for the last ten years for turning out good basketball teams. California Tech vs. Occidental, February 8 Because of a faulty ruling which prevented mid-week games, Oxy forfeited to Tech. California Tech vs. Redlands, February 12 This, the return game with Redlands, was played on the local "Y" court. The game was featured by the shooting of Dye and Troyer for Redlands. The Tech forwards failed to connect with the basket many times during the early period of the game. The absence of Payne, who was out on doctor's orders, was keenly felt in the first half. Timmons and Vesper passed well but couldn't find the basket. The half ended 13-3 in favor of the Redlands oufit. In the second period Tech started off with a will, Mintie and Larson bringing the score up to 11-19. This spurt lasted until the score stood 17-23 in favor of Redlands. Unluckily the Tech sprint quit here, while Dye succeeded in annexing three more baskets and a foul. At the final whistle the score stood 30-17 in favor of Redlands. Page One Hundred Sixty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs. S. B. U. C., February 19 The Southern Branch succeeded in winning its way to a 27-22 victory over the Tech squad in the final game of the 1921 basketball season. The game was hard-fought, from the beginning whistle until the curtain fell. The first half ended with the Branch maintaining a lead of eight points. In the second frame the Engineers got their eye on the basket and the fight was on. Priddy got a few nasty spills and was replaced by Vesper. Bugbee went in for Mintie. The Cubs rang up some more points and brought the score to 27-22 in their favor. Schneider went in for Vesper and Mintie replaced Bugbee, but the scoring was over and the game ended: Tech 22, S. B. U. C. 27. FRESHMEN BASKETBALL HE peagreen class of '24 put a classy, scrappy quintette into the field this year, which did credit to the freshmen, and lived up to all ex-pectations. After several weeks of practice, during which games were played with several of the high school aggregations, the Frosh were ready to take on anybody who came along. The first game in the Freshman Conference was with Occidental. The game was a fine exhibition of basketball and was close throughout. It was lost by the heart-breaking score of: Oxy 19, Tech 18. The next game was with the Southern Branch frosh. The S. B. U. C. frosh were considered one of the niftiest aggregations in the South, so it was quite a plume in the Tech Frosh's bonnet when they trimmed their rivals in a preliminary to the main Tech-S. B. U. C. varsity game by the score of 24-20. A return game with the Branch resulted in the score, Tech 26, S. B. U. C. 20. No return game was played with Occidental, as their team had been dis-banded. The men who received numerals for playing on the Frosh team were: Maltby (C.), Waite, Barton, Smith, Moyse, Garver, Campbell, and Pardee. Page One Hundred Sixty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" TRACK J,G Page One Hundred Sixty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" THE MEETS HE track season of 1921 was a successful one in the matter of reviving interest in this sport. With one of the fastest tracks in the South, good equipment, good coaching and a large number of men out, a fairly good team was developed. Although not a championship team, not one of its members graduate, which is favorable for better teams in the future. Men who won their T are: Kemp (C.), Crissman, Clough, Benioff, Reeves, Hastings, Cox and E. Groat. Cross Country Run In a pre-season affair, the cross-country run held at Claremont under the auspices of Pomona College, Tech was represented by Studebaker, '24, who came away with fifth place honors. Interclass Meet The afternoons of February 9 and 10 were featured with the annual interclass meet. As was expected, the Juniors took the meet, but were pressed closely by the Frosh. The final score was: Juniors 45, Freshmen 33, Sophomores 27, and Seniors 12. The Juniors cinched the affair by taking all three places in the shot and hundred. The latter event was won by Crissman in the fast time of 10:1. A. A. U. Relay Carnival On February 19, C. I. T. acted as host to all the track athletes of Southern California in what proved to be one of the most successful relay carnivals ever held in the South. The affair was won by U. S. C. with 25 points. Tech earned two points through Crissman's fourth in the open hundred, won by Paddock in 9:4, and a fourth taken by Crissman, Benioft, Fowler and Clough in the one-mile relay, open. The feature event of the day was the one-mile eight-man open relay. The event was one by U. S. C. in the exceedingly fast time of 3 m. 6 sec., a new world's record. Page One Hundred Sixty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" Cox Benioff THE 1921 TRACK VARSITY Kemp Crissman Hastings Tenison Pomona vs. C. I. T. and S. B. U. C. The meet with Pomona was a three-cornered affair, with Tech and Southern Branch of U. C. combined against the Sagehens, who, nevertheless, had everything their own way in a majority of the events and won by a score of 98-33. Of the 33 points, Tech made 17 and S. B. U. C. 16. Crissman was the star for Tech, winning two firsts, one in the hundred in 10:2, and another in the two-twenty in the very good time of 22:1. The four-forty was a fight all the way around, with Pomona finally taking the first two places and Clough of Tech taking third. In the field events Pomona was particularly strong, and it was here that she won the meet. Jack Cox, however, surprised everybody by clearing 10 ft. 6 in. in the polt valut, which took second place. Jim Bugbee tied for second in the high jump, the winning height being 6 ft. 9 in. The relay was a nip and tuck affair between Tech and Pomona, the Engineers taking the lead in the first two laps only to lose out to Pomona at the end. The time was 3 m. 34 3/5 sec. Page One Hundred. Sixty-five THE 1921 BIG "T" S. B. U. C. vs. C. I. T. The next meet held was the dual affair with the Southern Branch of U. C. on Tech's home grounds. This meet was held in place of the triangular meet with Redlands which scheduled Tech and S. B. U. C. to combine against Redlands. It proved to be a close and exciting meet, the relay and shot finally giving the large end of a 73 5/6-57 1/6 score to Tech. Ed Groat was high point man with a total of sixteen, gained by a first in the discus and high hurdles and second in the shot and hammer. Crissman won the hundred in 10 flat, thereby establishing a new C. I. T. record. He also won the two-twenty in 23:4. Kemp took third in both these events. Reeves won two firsts in the hammer and shot. The four-forty was all Tech's, with Clough and Benioff coming in first and second respectively in the creditable time of 52:4. Stenzil, of football fame, came out and took third in the mile, as did Stromsoe in the 880. The relay team, composed of Benioff, Seares, Stromsoe and Clough, cinched the meet by winning in easy fashion. Other points in the track events were two seconds in the hurdles by Hastings and a third in the low hurdles by Benioff. In the field events Cox's first in the pole vault came in handy. Hastings and Mackenzie took second and third respectively in the broad jump. Seares and Evans tied for second in the high jump and Morrison tied for third in the pole vault. CONFERENCE MEET The meet with Occidental had to be called off on account of rain, so that the next meet in which the track team was seen in action was the big affair of the year, the Annual Conference Meet. The meet was held on Paddock field, and was one of the best and fastest Conference meets ever staged. Although Pomona won in comparatively easy fashion, there was hardly event in which the competition was not keen, and in which the winner had an easy time winning. California Tech, with twelve points, had to be satisfied with fourth place. Crissman was off form and failed to cop the sprints. Nevertheless he and Kemp tied for second in the hundred and so gained 4 points. Criss also took second in the two-twenty. Surprising everyone, and running one of the prettiest races of the day, Benioff came in second in the four-forty, not more than four yards behind Kilby of Redlands, who won in 502/5. Another tally was counted for Tech when Reeves took third place in the hammer throw. The relay developed into a fight for second place between Pomona and Tech. Pomona's fourth man, coming up from behind, beat Benioff to the tape by a matter of inches. Tech's team was made up of Seares, Stromsoe, Clough and Benioff Page One Hundred Sixty-six THE 1921 BIG "T" Page One Hundred Sixty-seven THE 1921 BIG "T" A. A. U. Field and Track Meet At the annual A. A. U. Field and Track Meet, held at Redlands April 23, Benioff and Studebaker kept Tech on the athletic map by winning second in the four-forty and third in the two mile respectively. Except for the four world's records broken by Paddock of U. S. C.—the 220 yd. dash, and 100, 200, and 300 meter dashes-exceptional time was not made in any of the events. Captain "Geoff" Kemp "Geoff" Kemp, Captain of this year's track squad, is a valuable man in the sprints. He specializes in the sprints, but he can also heave the shot. Kemp has been bothered by a weak ankle, and so has not shown up to his best ability in the track line. Kemp has won his T in track for the third consecutive year, and will have a chance to win another next year. Captain-Elect "Ben" Benioff "Ben" Benioff's development as a track man has come as a distinct surprise to his many friends. Before this season, Benioff had never felt a track spike underneath his flying feet, although he is a Junior at the Institute. From the very first he showed promise of developing as a 440 man, but that he would show the speed he has shown on the cinder path was never dreamed. Benioff has all the qualifications for track captain, and should head a successful squad next year. FRESHMAN TRACK TEAM EIM OR the first time in its history California Tech was represented by a Freshman team in track and field sports. The team turned out by the class of '24 was a "high-powered" one and promises good material for the Varsity next year. Although only two meets were held, one with S. B. U. C. Freshmen and one with Pasadena High School, and both these were lost by small scores, the season was a success in keeping alive the spirit and pep that characterized the class of '24. The team was captained by Studebaker. Men who won their numerals for their endeavors were: Studebaker and Squires, distances; Lownes, sprints; Pine, hurdles; Carrier, Diddel, F. Groat and Kraeger, field events. Page One Hundred Sixty-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" B ASE BALL J.G Page One Hundred Sixty-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" BASEBALL FORWORD ITTING like wild men, and winning both the Oxy and Branch games by lop-sided scores, the baseball team seemed headed straight down the stretch for the Championship, but starting with the Whittier crab-fest the team fell into a slump which they are at the material facilities, of money, of courage to go ahead, or the feeling that these present time making a desperate attempt to climb out of. In the first two games of the season Tech made 25 hits and scored 12 runs to their opponents' 11 hits and 6 runs, while in the next four conference games Tech garnered only 19 hits while the opposing teams were knocking out 37 safe bingles. However the team lost its jinx in the second Branch game when it pulled out of almost certain defeat by scoring eight runs in one inning. This year's squad was composed of seven men from last year's squad and six new men. Potts was elected captain, and has played a wonderful game in the outfield, making some wonderful catches and cutting off practically certain tallies at the plate with his cannon ball peg. Both Reynolds and Groat were veteran chuckers, and both pitched a fine brand of ball. Reynolds is also a batter of no mean ability, standing third on the batting list. Groat hits the ball less often, but when he connects it is generally for extra bases. Mintie has also been on the pitching staff this year, and has showed up well. Kemp, Schneider and Larson of last year's varsity and Priddy and Alcock of the '23 Freshman team have held down the infield positions this year. Kemp and Priddy have both played at short, and are the heaviest batters on the team. Kemp is also the fastest man on the team, and easily leads in the number of stolen bases. Larson started at second, and moved to third when Priddy went into the outfield. Linne is a good fielder and gets his peg to first in great style, but is rather weak with the bat. Alcock plays a good game at second, and bats around .300. Davis and Macdonald are old timers although they were not at Tech last year. Both play in the outfield and creditably. Davis has the edge in hitting, making about every third one safe. Macdonald acts also as auxiliary catcher. Weitekamp takes 'em behind the bat, and is one of the finds of the season. He is a new-comer to the squad, but has turned out to be a great backstop. His only weakness is in hitting the ball, otherwise he is indispensable. Page One Hundred Seventy THE 1921 BIG "T" TE CHANECH TE CH TH 四CB THE 1921 BASEBALL SQUAD THE OCCIDENTAL GAME Tech nabbed the opening game from Oxy by a 9-3 score. Ten nicely bunched hits gave the Engineers their nine tallies, while seven scattered hits brought the Tigers only three runs. The Oxy team was sadly weakened by the loss of "Bosco" Alcock, the Oxy hurling wonder, and showed the results of his loss in its playing. Practically every Tech runner that reached first stole second. The first two Tech batters got safe on errors, and scored on Reynolds' long single to right field. Oxy then got three free bases and a hit which netted her one run. Tech got another run in the second with the aid of a walk and a hit, and then both teams tightened up until the fifth frame, when the Engineers scored three more. The Engineers got another run in the sixth and two in the eighth, and Oxy had nearly given up hope when the break came her way. The first two batters got safe on errors and scored on more errors before the third batter had reached the plate. Hurr then got a clean single and the next batter hit a long fly to center. Potts grabbed the fly and then threw Hurr out at home, which put an end to Oxy's rally. Tech wound up the game with three more hits and two runs. 7 Page One Hundred Seventy-one THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tect vs. S. B. U. C., April 13, 1921 Not satisfied with the drubbing they gave Oxy in the first game, the hardy Engineers traveled over to the Southern Branch of the University of California and took the Cubs down to the tune of 12-3. The game was called at the end of the seventh. By that time the Cubs had used three pitchers and were hunting wildly for another. Priddy started the track meet in the first inning with a clean single. Kemp then knocked one over the fence, scoring Priddy. Kemp scored from second on the batter's grounder to the infield, and the inning ended Tech 2, S. B. U. C. 0. Tech scored again in the third when Kemp singled, and stole second and third. The next three batters hit, scoring three runs. In the fourth got two more, and the Cubs woke up long enough to get two tallies in this frame. Three in the fifth and two in the sixth brought the Engineers' score up to twelve. The Cubs got a run in the seventh, but they decided to call it a day, and the game was ended. The Cubs' big weakness was the lack of a first rate pitcher, for when they got a chance to field the ball, they handled it well. Inning—1 C. I. Т... S. B. U. C California Tech vs. Whittier, April 30, 1921 The Whittier game was a farce from start to finish. When the first half of the fourth inning had passed, the Whittier team had the long end of a 7-0 score. In the last half of the fourth inning Tech was at bat. The first batter was out, shortstop to first. Davis then singled and reached second when Macdonald walked. Potts came up and knocked a high fy to short center which the second baseman attempted to cover but muffed. This filled the bases, but the Whittier coach, evidently expecting to lose the game despite his long lead, claimed that the fly which Potts knocked was an infield fly and that the batter should be out whether the ball was caught or not. The umpire refused to reverse his decision, and the Whittier coach insisted that the game be protested. The protest was announced to the bleachers, and the game was played from then on by the Tech team as purely an exhibition game, which would not affect Tech's standing in the Conference. The game ended with Whittier 17, Tech 9. Perry of Whittier then de- cided he would like to withdraw his protest but Coach Call insisted game was protested, and being protested should be played over. After a long period a decision in the matter was finally reached by Conference officials, who announced that the game would stand as played. Page One Ilundred Seventy-two THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs. Pomona, April 23, 1921 Despite the fact that the Pomona game was played in a light rain it was one of the best games of the season. The final score gave Pomona 4 and Both pitchers were working exceptionally well. Groat allowed four hits and Taylor of Pomona gave three safe hits. Pomona got her first three runs with three singles and a walk in the second inning. Tech put over two runs in the third and tied the score with one in the fifth. Both teams played shut-out ball until the last of the eighth inning when Tech got two men on bases but failed to bring them home. A walk overthrow to first together with a sacrifice and a squeeze play brought home the winning run for the Sagehens in the ninth inning. The band turned out to the game in full force and enlivened the crowd with choice bits of jazz. California Tech vs. Redlands, April 30, 1921 The Redlands team glued their eyes to the ball and kept them there until they had made 13 safe bingles and 11 runs. In the meantime Tech had secured 5 hits, but no man had reached home, and the game ended with Redlands 11, Tech 0. Although Redlands ran up a long score the Tech team made only three errors. The game was won and lost on hitting, which by this time was the last thing that the Engineers could do. Redlands started scoring in frame, in which she made three runs, and kept it up steadily throughout the game. In the second, Cummings rapped out a double which scored a run. A walk and a single in the third netted another run, and so on until in the fifth inning the Redlands team ran up five runs before it could be stopped. Reynolds was the only Tech player to hit consistently. In his two times a at Maynard rapped out two clean singles The Redlands game ended the first round, of which Tech won two and lost three. 1 Page One Hundred Seventy-three THE 1921 BIG "T" California Tech vs Occidental, May 7, 1921 In the second Occidental game, the Tigers turned the tables on Tech and won, 2-0. Hitch pitched for Oxy, and evened his score with the Tech batters, who made eleven safe hits against him in the first game, by allowing only one hit. The game was unique in that only one error was made, and that one was made by a Tiger player. No one reached first until Davis got hit in the second inning and was given his base. He was forced out at second, and no one else reached the initial sack until the eighth. Roberts of Oxy whanged out a double in the third, reached third, but failed to score. The game continued airtight until the Tigers got three hits in the eighth inning and scored two runs. In the last half of the eighth Larson drew a walk and went to second when the second baseman muffed Priddy's fast grounder. The runners then got away with a pretty double steal, but with a man on second and third and only one out, Tech failed to score. California Tech vs. S. B. U. C., May 11, 1921 Bringing the score from 10-2 in favor of the Southern Branch of the University of California up to 13-11 in favor of Tech, the Engineers won the most spectacular swat fest of the season from the Cubs in the return game with the Branch on the home grounds. The Cubs made three runs in the first frame and Tech came back with two tallies. In the second the Cubs scored two runs and succeeded in loading the bases, when Reynolds was sent in to relieve Groat on the mound. Olmstead was the first man up against Reynolds. He clouted the ball for a home run which scored four runs. Reynolds fanned the next man and the side was retired. Tech failed to score in the second, while the Cubs brought home another adding two runs to Tech's score. Three outs in quick succession retired the runs which gave the Engineers a two run lead over the Cubs. During the inning Priddy made two singles, Reynolds got a double and Groat hammered out a three bagger. Both teams added another run to the score, which brought it to 13-11 in favor of Tech. The Engineers made 19 safe hits and three errors while the Cubs were making 7 hits and 6 errors. Inning—1 C. I. Т....... S. B. U.

Tech made 11 hits to the opponents' 9, but seemed unable to bring the runners home. Whittier scored first in the second inning, making two runs with the aid of two hits and an error. Priddy got his second hit of the game in the third inning with a two bagger. Alcock sacrificed him around to third. He scored in the next minute when Schneider got a clean single. The side was retired without scoring again. Whittier got four runs in the fifth and three in the sixth inning. Tech managed to put over two in the eighth and one in the ninth. The final score was 9-4. Groat pitched the game for Tech and struck out eleven men. The team made only two errors, but the breaks came all for Whittier-hence the final score. Inning—1 Total C. I.

The team has gone through the entire season with but one defeat, and that by a 4-3 score. This one defeat lost the Conference championship to Pomona, but can hardly detract from the wonderful showing that has been The college had the good fortune to have within its student body five first class players. Kohtz, Shugart, Lynn, Honsaker and Clarke are all players of no mean ability and together have made up one of the strongest teams of the South. Shugart and Kohtz went to the tournament at Ojai, and although they did covered themselves with glory in deteat as well as in victory. veran confere eat envie mate which the tim tod part in during the year, the men took on and defeated U.

C. at home, the team Page One Hundred Seventy-eight THE 1921 BIG "T" SWIMMING Two successive swimming championships is the enviable record which Tech's swimming team has made in the past two years. The 1921 Conference title went to the Engineers with a count of 46 against 37 for Oxy who had the next high score. Redlands followed with 15 points and Pomona finished the list with 6 tallies. The feature of the meet was the plunge for distance In this event Harris upset the dope by nosing out Herberger for first place. Klein finished a close third. Myers was high point man for the Engineers, taking first in the 50 and 440 yard swims. Teaching Fellow Ries, who was a letter man in all the aquatic sports at the University of Chicago, was the man who so ably coached the team. The team was successfully managed by Herberger, who combined business with his participation in the watery sport. The letter men from the season of 1920 were Starr, Herberger, Myers Harries, Howard, Evans, Champion and Klein were the new members of the squad. The past season was altogether as successful as possible, and as very few of the team are leaving Tech this year, another championship team should be looked for next year. Page One Hundred Seventy-nine THE 1921 BIG "T" 1920-21 LETTER MEN ALcoCK—"Joe," brother of Occidental's famous "Bosco," has gained recognition on his own merit, and not merely as a brother of "Bosco." Playing equally well at second base and in the field, he has been one of the mainstays of the baseball team. BENIOFF-"Ben" has in one brief year developed into a marvellous 440 man. He also played on the scrub football squad. He is next year's track captain-elect. BUGBEE-"Jim" was a crackerjack lineman, who messed up more than one of the opposing guards. Jim is also a bit of a high jumper, although he did not win a track letter. He was accorded a berth on the all-conference honorary football squad. CATLAND-"Cat" has "gone in" for football more extensively than any other man in the Institute. With three seasons of college ball to his credit, membership on several service teams, and the captaincy of the past year's gridiron squad, he can safely rest on his laurels. CATLIN-"Pussy" was a back-field man of the first calibre. This was his first and last year on the squad, as he is a member of the present graduating class. CLARK-"Phil" has successfully completed his third successive year as a member of the tennis team. His steadiness and accuracy are his greatest assets. CLOUGH-"Frank," as a four-forty man, is a mainstay of the C. I. T. track squad. He makes the circuit in the creditable time of 51 2/5 secs., and runs a lap in the relay. CHAMPION—"Ed," in the relay and distance, contributed very materially to the success of the swimming team. Page One Hundred Eighty THE 1921 BIG "T" Cox-"Jack" sruprised every one by vaulting over the bar at a height of 10 ft. 6 in. This is Jack's specialty, and, like all specialists, he should improve with time. He has two years yet in which to demonstrate his ability. CRISSMAN-"Criss" has developed into a remarkably fast sprinter since his initial appearance last year. He has done the 100 in 10 flat, and the 220 in 22 secs. Nothing but tough luck prevented his winning first in both these events in the Conference meet. DAvIs—"Whit" played a very creditable game at end, and won another letter in baseball, his accurate fielding being a feature of the play. His motto is "actions speak louder than words." EvANS—"Bernie" is another two-letter man. There were not many in the Conference who were better than he at guard, while his consistent work both in sprints, distances, and diving, won for him a letter in swimming. Evans also tackled the high jump, but did not gain sufficient points to merit a letter. GROAT-"Nanny" has the distinction of being Tech's most versatile athlete. He won letters in football, playing end; track, in the field events; and finally in baseball, in which sport he has made a name for himself for three seasons as a pitcher of the first calibre. He is next year's football captain- HAMBROOK-"Dick," besides filling very capably the difficult position of Student Body President, undertook to hold down the center berth on Tech's eleven. As a stone-wall center, who was always on his feet playing the game, he had few equals. HARRIES-"Dave" tanee in the Contente meer with a power tunge of over so efor dis HASTINGS-"Hasty" specialized in the broad jump. He could also run the hurdles whenever occasion demanded. He was good for 21 feet in the Page One Hundred Eighty-one THE 1921 BIG "T" HERBERGER -"Art" was a big point winner for Tech in the plunge for dis-He also tried his luck in the breast stroke. HICKEY-"Art" was basketball captain, and one of the mainstays of the team. He played a brilliant game at standing guard. Unfortunately for Tech, he was unable to compete in swimming. A bad shoulder prevented his participation in football. HONSAKER-"Johnny" is a tall gent, which may or may not account for the fact that he is a good tennis player. He has a service that generally wins for him. HowARD-"Chuck" won his letter in swimming by taking fourth in the Con- ference meet in both the 50 yd. dash and the 440 yd. dash. KEMP-"Geoff" won letters in track and baseball. A sprained ankle kept him out of football. He was track captain. Geoff starred with the willow wand, and was a very consistent fielder. KLEIN-"Maj" took third place in the plunge for distance in the conference meet and so won a letter and a medal. KoTz-"Rusty" is a short man, which does not prevent him playing an excellent brand of tennis. At Ojai he put up a stiff battle, but was eliminated by Neer of Stanford in the first round. LARSON-"Linne" is Tech's best bet in basketball. A star in his high days, he played for the L. A. A. C., and has just completed his third successive year for Tech. Although he plays running guard, he scores by far the greatest number of points. He also won a letter in baseball. Page One Hundred Eighty-two THE 1921 BIG "T" LAVAGNINO-"Jitz," the man with the educated toe, is in a class by himself. He has played football four years for Tech, and has consequently achieved a feat which is likely never to be repeated. Graduation prevented his participation in basketball. LUMMIS-"Pud" is a valuable man in the back-stroke, and besides placing consistently in this event, he swims a lap in the relay. He has another year in which to show his talent. LYNN-"Skinny" is a new acquisition on the tennis team this year, but has been showing rare form in all the matches played so far. Only a sophomore, he is a future team captain. MADONALD-"Mac" is a little fellow, but little fellows have no disadvantage in baseball. Mac's real position is catcher, but a weak arm forced him into a field position, which he filled very capably. MINTIE-"Ernie" jumped center in most of the basketball games, and did it very well. He has developed remarkably since he came out for the first time last year. VuLn_"Brick" i or to i hassed in a beautife mo at sore hairons, d a talent each equally well. MYERS-"Tommie" is Tech's representative in the breast stroke, and in the distances. He amassed more points in meets than did any other man. PARMALEE-"Parm" has played his last year of baseball for Tech. He was a valuable man in the outfield. Page One Hundred Eighty-three THE 1921 BIG "T" PAYNE-"Leonard" starred in the backfield. He was fast and sure, and went where he wanted to go with a force that overcame all obstacles. His sureness and endurance stood him in good stead also in basketball, in the position of forward. PorTs_"Cliff" was a boon to the baseball squad this year. When Moir, who was elected captain last year, did not return, Potts was accorded the honor. He is an experienced man, and well fitted for the position he occupied. PRIDDY-"Russ's" accuracy in find the basket was a feature of his basketball playing. His accurate fielding was one of Tech's biggest assets in baseball, in which sport he played shortstop. REEVES-"Hubie" is a big fellow and has had considerable experience in his events, so he proved an invaluable asset to the track squad. His events were the shot and hammer throw. REYNOLDS-"Maynard" has pitched his last game of ball for Tech, and in his long record of performance has nothing to be ashamed of. His coolness and steadiness pulled him out of many a tight hole, while his "twisters" kept the batters of the opposing team constantly guessing. Rico-"Big Boy" made himself famous in the Pomona game, when he blocked a place kick and ran 80 yards to a touchdown. Unfortunately he developed a case of blood poisoning which caused him to lose the better part of the school year. His many friends hope he will be able to resume his studies again next year. ROHLOFF-"Ski" plays tackle and does it in an exceedingly convincing manner. His excellent work has been for two years a feature of the Tech line, as evinced by the evident admiration of co-eds in the grand stand. He hopes to repeat next year. SCHNEIDER-"Cupid" is the cute-looking gentleman who holds down first base out there on the baseball diamond. He snags 'em all-high, low or ground-ers, and has an enviable list of put-outs to his credit. He can play guard in a game of basketball equally well. Page One Hundred Eighty-four THE 1921 BIG "T" SHUCART-"Don" is of the white-panted gentry who populate the tennis courts at all hours of the day. He assisted in putting Tech second in tennis, and acquitted himself with much credit at Ojai. STARR-"Ted" was no inconsiderable factor in the winning of the swimming championship. He was captain of the swimming team which for the second time won the title. The sprints and breast-stroke were his events. STENZEL-"Dick," known as "The Flying Dutchman," gained his letter title by the determined manner in which he repeatedly plunged through opposing lines for large gains. If Dick was given the ball, it was certain that a gain would be made. TIMMONS-"Colin" played a stellar game at forward. He is an experienced basketball player, gaining his experience on a crack high school squad. He is next year's basketball captain. VESPER-"Howard" played a good game at forward. His consistency was his main asset. WEBSTER-"Glen" played an excellent game at end. This is the first year he has won a letter, but he has a good chance of repeating. WEITECAMP-"Weity" stepped into the place left vacant by the varsity catcher of last year, and while filling it very capably at the start, showed steady improvement clear to the end of the season. WILSON-"Fanny" was the demon of the Tech backfield. Weighing but 145 pounds, he was so agile and fast that time after time he broke through the line or around end for large gains. He has another year. age One Hundre ighty-h THE 1921 BIG "T" LEST WE FORGET The Raspberry is a Queer little fruit More often than Not It is best when Taken with A grain of salt.

Klein, S. A. T. C. D. O. L. Publicity Manager-Manton M. Barnes. Long before the time announced for the meeting the hall was crowded; in kingless English both Klein and Barnes were present. After a solo by Manton nominations were in order. Arthur immediately nominated Mr. Klein and Manton was right back at him, nominating Barnes. After that the nominations were closed and the balloting commenced. After many tedious ballots had been cast the vote remained the same, one to one, in favor of Mr. Klein. Finally Mr. Barnes went to sleep and Mr. Klein won by one vote. Feeling much consideration for his late opponent, Mr. Klein told Mr. Barnes to ask for the softest snap in the Student Body offices, one which would hold many honor points, no effort and great opportunity for personal publicity. Mr. Barnes took the job of Publicity Manager. The affairs of O. P. U. should go to Hell, no doubt, büt these two men showed that much more interest than the rest of our A. S. B., anyway.

Page Two Hundred Four THE 1921 BIG "T" LOCAL BOY WINS MILITARY PROMOTION The honor and fame of our fair city is being ably upheld through the faithful and earnest efforts of one of the most prominent of our manly youths who are blossoming forth into manhood under the guiding hand of the curfew and the Sunday closing law. This personage is none other than Jay DeVoe, who has been attending Throop School since graduating with Millie Smith and Hank Robinson. Mr. DeVoe saw active service during the war in the S. A. T. C. T. C. T. and became so fond of army life that he re-enlisted in the R. O. T. C. C. I. T. at the end of the war. He is at present serving the third year of his enlistment and has at last been promoted to sergeant, which responsible position he fills with the patient endeavor that is so characteristic of him. Mr. DeVoe said when interviewed on a recent visit here that he owed his intrepid advancement to a paper on "Obeying Orders" that he recently wrote, and to the fact that he always attends summer camp. Jay made a very high score on the rifle range and very nearly won a marksman medal. These medals are given to the next to the best shots in Uncle Sam's army.
