citizen's responsibility to vote in a national election. The destiny of our nation rests in the hands of the president and Congress, and to fall to cast a vote in this election is a neglect of duty. Why will so many Tech men fail to vote next Tuesday? This shirking of civic duty can only be explained by the fact that Tech's embryo engineers must be too wrapped up in their studies to be bothered with such things as elections. Some will probably say that t.bey cannot vole because they live too far from Worcester. Yet absentee ballots are available expressly for such people and can be easily obtained from one's home city. There seems to be no legitimate excuse for not voting next Tuesday.

TECH
SPORTS BEFORE MY EYES By Mr. ''X" There's plenty of activity on the sports front at Tech this weekend. The annual Alumni Homecoming wiU be featured by a football game with T rinity and a cross country meet with Boston University at the athletic field and a soccer game with Clark University on their grounds out Main South way. While the majority of the old grads will undoubtedly attend the football game, a few of the former soccer players will journey to Clark to view the 1948 edition of Higginbottom's Rustlers. This Trinity football team has built up a reputation in New England small-college circles somewhat akin to that of the Chicago Bears in the pro ranks. T he Middletown Monsters were having a circus, running up scores of 52 and 65 to 0 every Saturday until last week when the Panthers of Middlebury knocked them from the undefeated ranks to lbe tune of 24-13. On t heir record Trinity will enter the game tagged as the overwhelming favor ite to win. However, even in these days of unlimited !!Ubslilution, spirit and determination s lill count for sometbing, and these arc two qualilies the engineers have never been short of. Remember too that this is Homecoming Day, and the stands will be f1lled with alumni who remember the days when Tech was a power in New England football. Maybe their cheers will help, a nd maybe it'll be done on sheer guts, but somehow we feel that the 11Jron Men" might upset mighty Trinity. Saturday 1s soccer game, will mark the resumption of the traditional intercity rivalry between Tech and Clark. The Engineers will also face the Scarlets in basketball and baseball this year. The word around town is that the Clark students are feeling pretty cocky about the whole thing. They have been boasting about what their soccer team will do to Tech Saturday. Where all this optimism comes from is a little mysterious. For while the Tech booters have not bad a sparkling record, the Clark team has certainly had a miserable one. It's almost unbelievable that their supporters should foresee them ever defeating any team. If the engineers play tJle way they did against M.l.T. in the second half last Saturday, they should defeat and humiliate the Clarks. - - - - - -- -- - -- -- -- - - - - - - - - - -
TECII SAILORS MAKE BJG PLANS FOR COJ\IING YEAR
Ending the past school year with big plans and a brilliant demonstration of sa.iling on the part of its skippers, the Nautical Association has opened the 1948-49 year with even more expanded plans and opti· mism. Already the Association has three races under its belt with some live or six more to sail before the snow falls. The f1rst race for the Association was on October 3rd where the engineers, John Beckwith :md George Crompton, were leading until the last o( a series of four races at the Tufts quadrangular regatta when a flukey wind shift no.sed them out. On the lOth, Tech Freshmen, along with those of M .I.T. and Rhode Island State, were eliminatec.l by Tufts at the Freshman regal La at M .T .T. On the 16th John Peirce and Walter Beckwith took the helm and sheet rope in hand and sailed away with third place honors at M.I.T. Tech $llilors to date have no victories to stand with the one obtained on Easter Sunday last year in the hexagonal regatta held at Brown when W.P.I. came second only to
Brown's Charlie Ells (who was con· sidered for the American Olympic sailing team). However, they are showing the zeal and qualities needed to make a powerful contender in the Intercollegiate Yacht Rad ng Association. In between week-end regattas the Nautical Association is constantly working to improve itself. In order to classify and improve its skippers the Association is setting up a racing ladder in which anyone may challenge someone one step higher to a race in the boats on Indian Lake. Thus, the best skippers move to the top while the mediocre move to the bottom. These races will be supervised by a race committee composed of j ohn Peirce, Dave Brumback, Walter and j ohn Beckwith, Bill Borne, and Dave Flood. The committee will run the races and rule on any disputes which might arise. In addition the Nautical Association under the direction of Dave Brumback is organizing a shore school to instruct its members on the exceedingly difficult art of yacht

A small crowd of Tech men and their girls came to cheer the W.P.I. team on. They saw a good soccer g:lme which was won by M.I.T., 3·1. M.l.T. won the toss and the whistie had hardly died away starting the gnme when the M .l.T. forwards had shot through the Tech defense and scored their first goal. Later in the first qunrter they scored two more goals. The srcond quarter was hard fought with the ball conlinually going up and down the field. However, neither side was able to get by the goal .keepers and the score at the half was s till three to nothing. The Tech team came back in the third quarter trying to make up for their bad start, but were unable to score. Jim Meiklejohn, AI DcLoid 1 Bob Fulmer, and Tom Hcxlgett all played fine soccer. The fourth quar· ter was like the second IUld third ; both sides playing hard but unable to score. A few minutes before the game ended AI DeLoid put a corn.er kick up in front of the goal and Max Underwood headed it. 'into the goal for Tech's lone score. During the fourth quarter Tom Hodgetl had left the game becau!IC he had burt his right foot. His foot was later X·rayed and it was found that his big t oe was broken. This mean.'l that Tom wiU be out for the rest of the season. T hose long kicks which he got orr from his fullback position will be greatly missed. racing. This shore school will be held on Thursdays for beginners and on Fridays for advanced skippers. Regular meetings of the Association are held every T uesday night.

WPI Cross-Country Team Drops Decisions to Trinity and RPI Lust week, the Tech cross country team invaded Trinity and Rensselaer, only to be chased back home with defeats of 28-31 and 23-38. The harriers looked tough luck in the face last Wednesday when hard work by Zeleny and Howell, wbo took first and second places respectively, found the team edged out by three points. Like all the Tech teams, there was a lack of secondary strength to pull the team to victory. With a bit more or experience under the belts of the freshmen, these close defeats will turn into decisive victories. U was the same old story last Saturday, a lack of reserve strength. Dave Brown, running his best race this fall , followed Dick 7..eleny across the finish line for second and third places, but the men from Troy proved too fast for our runners.
