New Books Given To University
The library of the University has profited by the presentation of several sets of valuable books. A collection of the National Geographic magazines and a rare Imperial edition of Shakespeare have been presented by Mrs. John Castle. Mrs. Castle will be remembered by many as the mother of John Castle, a student of the University who disappeared last year and for whom the entire student body joined in a fruitless search.
Dr. John Thom Holdsworth, dean of the School of Business Administration, has given the library a set on Banking Principles and Practices by R. B. Westerfield, Ph. D., and the Modern Business Series, a collection of twenty-three volumes published by the Alexander Hamilton Institute.-
Mrs. Roy H. Wilson donated a number of engineering books which include a volume of Engineering News Records.
Besides the books which have been donated, the library recently bought a set of six law books, the Compiled General Laws of Florida, published by Harrison and Company of Atlanta.

The development of the Architectural Department of the University of Miami has been very rapid. We are proud to have John L. Skinner, a most proficient instructor, as the head of this branch in the University. Mr. Skinner has received degrees from both the University of Toronto and Harvard.

Blow, blow, thou Hurricanes. Warnings were up last Friday night of the coming blow to Stetson. What didn’t blow made a racket—all the way from cowbells to Klaxons. The tin snake was garbed in ghosts, football fiends, in flowing streamers and flowering pajamas. It began twitching at sundown and, “believe it or not,” became alive at seven. It wound through a tortuous path that led it down Eighth street and 27th avenue, through Beacom Manor to Flagler street, east to Biscayne boulevard, north to 13th street, back to First street, west to the courthouse, and then' up' Flagler to the boulevard again. Occasionally hips were . in.,, evidence ‘and the downtown folks were aware that it was a cracking good rattler.
Rats and upperclassmen gathered in' front" of the McAllister to listen to “Far Fayemd” Farr entertain with his music. All men Frosh were ordered on the steps. Of all the night apparel,' there was but one nightgown. That was inhabited'by Robert Smith. A roly-poly frosh and two others' gave a “song and dance” to the unsatiable audience. Plus and Minus looked so appealing out on the sea of faces that nearly canceled each other. While in the act of "feeling like two cents ■ and pushing the same with their noses across the pavement, the unruly mob scampered over the two lowly rats in their anxiety to reach the microphone inside. Chief Cheerleader Ray Weakley permitted them to deflate their lungs, much to the dismay of the radio world. From there to the Leamington Hotel was but one long, drawn-out pash. The line spiralled into a compact'group and cheered Miami U with' Sceig? and yells to the Rollins team” inside. The parade was thei) officially disbanded, while the. fxesh* 1 men took -it upon themselves to crash'the Fairfax theatre,* '

In spite of all the competition of broadcast games and the high school game a large crowd turned out Saturday to witness the University of Miami’s second win of the season, when they beat Rollins, 32 to 0.
It was a better game than the
score signifies. The Rollins line was far more stubborn than any Miami man thought it would be.
The first quarter was played largely in Rollins territory but Miami couldn’t get the old touchdown drive.
The second quarter was a far different story and from then on there Pas no doubt whose ball game it was. The Miami line ! charged low and hard, the back-field got going and after a great ' drive down the field Jones went | over for the first touchdown.
The next touchdown came as the result of a forward pass intercepted by Jones, aided by a 43-yard run of Wilkinson, who finally took the ball over for the second I score.
-
By the way, this Jones man in-\ tercepted all but three of the ! Rollins passes. He seemed to be i at the right place at the right ! moment.
Wilkinson came near scoring again in the second period when I he ran from scrimmage 74 yards to put the ball on the 5-yard ling! The end of the half saveid thé Hiirri-! canes from scoring again.
Late in the third period Red ' Franklin started a great march i towards the south goal and after a series of fine broken field runs crossed the goal for the third marker. Hansen was an important factor in many of these runs giv-1 ing a great exhibition of the right kind of interference.
The final touchdown came as the result of a beautiful 32-vard pass. Williams to Wignall, and a ctfaple of line plunges by Blier and Hansen. Blier hit center for the1 filial score.
.To • mention- the outstanding players'woidd be merely iisUng.the men who play#d as each man did a fine job of it. In the line Catha. Hauser, Lindstroin and: Silier
