U. of M. One of Few Colleges To Take Movies Of Scrimmages
A feature which only a few leading colleges have adopted is the taking of motion pictures of team scrimmages in order to reveal players mistakes. The University of Miami is using this system and Victor A. Gerstel, motion picture technician, is the man who introduced it.
Mr. Gerstel has been making pictures of scrimmages for the past two years and then showing them to the players in order that they may more readily learn the plays and see their mistakes.
Illinois plays will be shown the players this year as this is the type McCann is using. Also plays of Notre Dame, including the famous “dancing step’’ of the Four Horsemen will be flashed on the screen.
For the pasi. ten years Mr. Gerstel has been connected with the motion picture business and now has cne of the most complete libraries of films in the United States. These include surgical operations, scenes of animal life and other stirring pictures which he filmed himself.

PAT HAD CRAFT WELL FITTED OUT
“Which Might Include Anything” According to R. Robertson
By P. WEST and R. ROBERTSON
We’ve just uncovered a story about a certain yachting party that came off last spring. Pat West, our Physics Lab. instructor, was somehow commissioned to rescue a nice, little schooner yacht stranded at Georgetown, S. C., and sail her up the coast to Annapolis. Mr. West has always had plenty of sea stories to tell, but we never thought he was an ocean-going navigator. Robbie Robertson and Bill Walton got wind of the trip, and speeded up to Georgetown in Robbie’s Ford, boarded the boat and demanded to be signed up as the crew, being pals of the skipper. So far we haven’t definitely found out whether this was the total extent of the crew or not. We do; know that West had the craft well fitted out for the trip, which might include anything.
Billy Walton proved to be a first class hash dealer and, apparently, Robbie was chief goldbrieker although one picture has been uncovered showing him mopping the deck. A picture doesn’t prove anything though.
They stopped off in little towns along the way to play around a bit but Pat was able to keep the crew, including himself, under control and they all finished the trip safely but not too sound.
