Kappa Sigmas Win Way to Donut Finals Betas Take Lease on Life And Tally in Ninth; Many Fatalities Two games were played yesterday in the donut tournament. Kappa Sigma shut out the Betas, 6 to 0, in the first contest, and the Dolts trounced Phi Sigma Kappa, 7 to 1, in the second. Kappa Sig’s victory advanced them to the finals in the upper bracket with the Spee’s. The Delta reached the second round of the consolation section. Swede Westergren, of basketball reput, dribbled in the only shot that spoiled a perfect day for Dave Adolphe, Kappa Sigma hurler. Swede’s bingle came in the first inning, and the next Beta to reach first base was Hall, who drew a walk in the last canto. The can nonading that featured the Beta’s win over Psi Kappa was silenced by Adolph’s sharp-shooting. Adolph picked off nine big guns of the Betas at the plate, and the rest dropped dead before they reached first. Kappa Sig found the range for three runs in the first inning. Jame son poled out a triple that scored Bhinehart. Gunther walked Gabriel, and Mautz singled to tally both Jameson and Gabriel. The Kappa Sigs located the target three times in the fourth. Mautz, Shields, and Woodcock walked. Handley was out at first, but Mautz came in on the throw. Shields and Woodcock scored when Adolph scorched a single past short. Jerry Gunther did some sharp shooting himself. Ho struck out seven Kappa Sigs, and allowed but three bingles. Five walks and fail ure of his team-mates to hit spelled Jerry’s defeat. In the second game the Delta had little trouble winning from Phi Sig ma Kappa. They scored one run in the first and seven in the second. Wagner scored Phi Sigma Kappa’s lone counter in the last inning. Jack Bliss, donut manager, an nounced that the final games in each bracket will bo seven innings instead of the usual five. Yesterday’s scores: Beta Theta Pi ...0 1 2 Kappa Sigma .6 3 0 Batteries: Gunther and Wester gren; Adolph and Gabriel.

The conclud ing portion of her letter will be published tomorrow.) At Assouan we visited the quar ries from which the great red gran ite obelisks were taken in remote ages; and we walked out on “The I Sleeping Obelisk,’’ only partly ! hewn away from the rock. It lay in a slant, 92 feet long .The sides and top, 10 feet wide, had been I beautifully smoothed, but the mass ; had never been cut loose at the bot ! tom. Our leader expressed the belief i that these obelisks were conveyed | on thin mud to the boats which were , to carry them down the river, j Of the temples I will describe on I ly one, the one least often visited, | Abu Simbel, near the second eata j ract and the edge of the Soudan. I There are two temples here, both hewn in the side of the stupendous red sandstone cliff rising from the sands along the river. Here that su preme advertiser of all history, Kameses II, decided to place remind ers of his power and greatness on the direct path of all who traveled to and from the southland. The larg er and finer of the temples pre sents on its facade, which is the smoothed and sculptured face of the cliff, four colossal seated statues of Raineses. “They are so much the largest figures ever executed in stone that they permit no compari son.” Better Still, they are in per fect proportion to the cliff on whose face they are carved, and have no appearance of over size. The hall within is supported by two rows of Osiris pillars the face of each Osiris being a portrait of Rameses, some of them in almost perfect preservation. At the ex treme end are represented Ammon Re, God of the Sun, and Rameses, side by side. The orientation of the building is such that at the equinox the sunrise casts its rays directly upon the figure of the Sun God. It was arranged for our party to make one of its three visits to this temple at sunrise. The sun does not fall yet exactly on the figure of the god, but it flooded the apartments and lit up the figures in the red sand stone to resplendence. Another interesting visit was the one made in the evening. Mr. Fara jnllah’s men had strung electric lights along the bank and up to the entrance of the temple, where the current connected with wiring in the temple, and the whole place was il luminated by power from our boat. It was a unique experience to see tho temple of Rameses the Great,! luting from about 1250 B. C., lit' by Americans as for a festal proces- j bun on the edge of the vast Libyan lesert. Tho second temple, balancing the j 'irat at a distance, was built by Rameses for his queen Nefretere. On its face stand in relief two great statues of the queen, four of Ram eses himself. This may seem like egotism on the part of Rameses, but perhaps he exceeded most records of ancient and modern times in building any temple in honor of his wife. Even in the great temple he had little wife statues beside him reaching nearly to his knee, and tiny princesses stood about his toes and ankles, indicating that he was an affectionate monarch, inclined to the domestic as well as the grand iose. We are rapidly leaving Nubia be hind and re-approaching lower Egypt, of which much has been written. Of its temples Karnalc is impressive for the stupendous size of its columns in the famous hypo style hall; Luxor for the beauty of its lotus pilla* colonnades; Dendera and Edfu for their completeness. At Luxor we went to the site of ancient Thebes, passing the Colossi of Memnon, still sitting, but scarce ly recognizable as portraits of Amcnhotep, the Magnificient. Rounding a pass that led behind the first row of desert cliffs, we came into a narrow valley inde scribably weird and desolate. Here was a waste of chalky whiteness* girt around by limestone cliffs— the Valley of the Tombs of the Kings. Forty-eight Pharaohs are known to have been buried here. We visited the tomb of Tut-Ankh-Amen, which is open only on certain days and into which only six persons are admitted at once, a Carter representative as well as Egyptian officials keeping a care ful count of all entering and leav ing. One descends ancient steps into the tomb which is small, of two chambers hollowed out of the rock, so that it is most surprising that all the treasures found could have been packed into its small area. The inner sarcophagus, of gold, is there; in it is the outer of the mag nificient gold and enamel mummy cases, of which the other two are in Cairo museum. This gold case represents the recumbent king with hands crossed and lidding the sym bols of Osiris. The mummy of Tut Ankh-Amen rests in this case. He was one of the minor kings; one can judge of the probable splendor of other tombs by the riches found in this. When the tomb had been excavat sd and the sarcophagus and attend ant treasure had been put in place, Hie desert sand forming a talus igainst these cliffs was heaped up n its original position and no trace eft;—all this because so long as •he body or a presentment of it •ould persist unmarred, the soul or ‘double” could have a home in vliicli to continue existence in the ifter-world.

Track (Continued from page one) Burnell, and the most they can do in the Husky meet is 18 points. That leaves a deficiency of 18 points. That is one way to dope a track meet, but not a very consol ing one in this case.

It is: Mile: Jensen, Little. 100-yard dash: Extra, Flanagan. 440-yard dash: Standard, Price. Shotput: Wetzel, Stager. High jump: Flanagan, Crawford, Price. Pole vault: McCulloch, Braeher.

All Star Cast Vocational Guidance Tests to be Given by Professor Taylor Professor' Howard E. Taylor, as sistant professor in psychology, is in correspondence co-operation with E. K. Strong, graduate of the school of business at Stanford, and is con ducting vocational guidance tests for all seniors in the University which will measure their fitness for a number of occupations. “Of course all occupations de mand a certain amount of general ability and some demand special ability,” Professor Taylor said. “Driving power appears to depend upon the active interest in the pro fessional duties of one’s occupation, and contentment and satisfaction depends to a great extent on the re action of the individual to the personal, social and physical envir ment of his work. “The blanks used to conduct these tests represent the most promising method yet devised for vocational guidance as they show whether a person has reactions similar to the successful people in these occupa tions.” Professor Taylor recommends these tests to all seniors as it is not only an opportunity to see how this important analysis is conduct ed but at the same tile to gain some information of vital impor tance for themselves. Blanks can be filled out at room 305 Condon for the rest of this week. H. S. Tuttle Speaks Before P. T. A. Circles ! Professor Harold S. Tuttle of the education department spoke before the P. T.
