CLASS BATTLE OPENS BUTLER HOME-COMING
Best Float in Today's Parade to Get Prize; Bonfire Tonight.
Home-coming brought alumni
Friends and students of the university also streamed over the campus and looked forward to taking part in the numerous activities which will be highlighted by the 13th annual gridiron clash tomorrow between the Butler Bulldogs and DePauw Tigers. Freshmen and sophomores were to open the two-day program in their annual clash to determine if the first-year men must continue to wear their green “rhinie pods.” Success in bringing down the sophomore flag today from atop a greased pole will permit them to discard the “pods.” Captains selected for the fight were. William Fritz, Bluffton, for the freshmen, and John Heflin, Kokomo; Scott Dukes and Herbert DeHaven, both of Indianapolis, for

COMET IS BEHAVING THE WAY IT SHOULD
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.,, Nov. 1 (U. P.).—The new Cunningham comet is “behaving according to predictions” and should be visible with binoculars “almost any night now,” its discoverer, Leland Cunningham of the Harvard Observatory, said today. The comet, discovered six weeks ago, is hurtling through space toward the earth at the rate of more than 32,000 miles an hour, Mr. Cunningham said. In another month, he said, it will be [visible to the naked eye unless it becomes too diffuse. Though the comet still is 140,000,000 miles distant, Mr. Cunningham predicted it would be the brightest

they're just as accurate as the new ones. Except in some of the high schools and a few of the : grade schools the clocks are eight-day, mechanical time pieces. A few even are of the old, weight-driven variety. Electric Setup Modern
The modern trend is to replace mechanical clocks with electric ones and automatic bells (Mr. Ellis calls them program instruments) but the structure of some of the older schools won't permit installation of the newer set-up. Right now, in the mind of Mr. Ellis’ 16-year-old son, Howard, it is a toss-up whether he will follow his father’s profession or become an aviation mechanic, : After classes at Tech High School where he is studying aviation mechanics, Howard helps his father, polishing the school clocks and crating and uncrating them.
