PAGE SIX THE DAILY IOWAN STATE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA Sunday, January 19, 1919 ALUMNI ENGINEERS HOLD GOOD POSITIONS Are Employed by Government, by Railroad Companies, And in City Work. Many graduates of the college of applied science are holding positions of honor, responsibility, and profit. A review of the classes of the last ten years shows that at least ten alumni are consulting engineers presidents of engineering corporations. Merrill Johnson, '98, is chief engineer of bridges and buildings for the Chicago Northwestern railway until he entered the service He is now captain and adjutant of the Thiteenth engineers and according to recent reports is in France. M. F. Clements, '99, is bridge engineer of the Northern Pacific railroad. Among alumni becoming college professors are: George F. Echard, '05, who is instructor in structural engineering at the University of Vermont; G. F. Bender, '08, professor and head of the department of mechanical engineering at the State University of Arkansas; and Franklin Thomas, '08, professor of civil engineering at the Throop College of Technology, Pasadena, Cal. City engineers include, Hugh Edward Young, '05, now engineer of bridge design for Chicago; R. B. Champion, '06, superintendent of public works at Holland, Mich., and Joe Negus, '08, superintendent of the electric railway at Fort Madison. The government service is employing other S. U. I. alumni. Samuel H. McCrocy, '04, is chief of the bureau of drainage of the department of agriculture; George H. Bremner, '83, is in the derpatment of valuation of the interstate commerce commission. Howard M. North also an alumnus, is in the confidential employ of the government in connection with the Atlantic ports. R. A. White, popularly known as "Cresco," who was captain of the football team in 1908, his senior year, and who received the degree of chemical engineer in 1913 has been until lately in charge of railway construction in China. [photograph: THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA'S UNIT OF THE U.S. ARMY] SPORT SPARKS Ames lost her first pair of basketball games to Missouri on the trip to Columbia. The scores were 34 to 16 and 35 to 22. Ames will meet Kansas in a two game series Friday and Saturday at the Ames gym. Kansas, unner up for last season's title, has four veterans in the lineup and look like probable winners this year. Cornell has a strong five; Kepler, Byerly, Saunderson, and Hurlburt form a nucleus around which they have built a powerful offense. They defeated Des Moines college overwhelmingly and Coe had a hard fight to win. Iowa basketball hopes have gone high at the announcement that Finlayson will be able to play again. Medical men have stated that the Clinton find is fit physically for the game. He is out shooting baskets and no doubt will be in form for the two conference games next week. Minnesota's strong basketball team beat the Hoosiers 35 to 13 in their last game. Kingsley and Oss seem to be their whole team. Northwestern's quintet has been strengthened by the return of Eilsen, star navy half back. He is playing center and is giving a good account of himself. Marquard at forward seems to be the star of the team. Wisconsin basketball prospects received a boost this week when Zulfer, star forward on last winter's quintet, secured his release from the navy. He is out with the team and will prove a big help in the Gopher game this week. He was one of the best forwards in the conference last season. Purdue has another fast five with Markley, Smith, Whipkus, and Campbell from last year's team. Chicago downed them at the Midway by a 21 to 17 score however. Illinois looks to be in the race for the basketball title. They have four veterans back and all are working smoothly. Ingwersen, captain of the football team, is playing at guard and is the team's mainstay. Fletcher, the half back, is another wizard on the floor, basket shooting being his specialty. Contrary to all past seasons there will be no high school tournament in basketball. Health conditions have put a lid on the big affair which were to have been played at Ames. Cedar Rapids looks to be the best team in the state with Jensen, Peterson, and Letoxosky from their old team Mount Pleasant may have something in surprise as they generally do. Iowa landed a pair of athletes this week when the Devine brothers of West Des Moines registered. Both are All Star men in more than one branch of athletics, and they will make a handy couple to have around. Football is the sport in which these lads are the strongest. The University of Wisconsin has more than 8,000 names on its war record. Freshman Representative Ticket PRESIDENT--JOHN M. WORMLEY VICE PRESIDENT--OLIVE YETTER TREASURER--KALMAN COOK COR. SEC.--GERTRUDE MELOY REC. SEC.--CATHERINE DEUR CLASS DEL.--QUINN O'BRIEN ATH. DEL.--FRANK SHIMEK We believe this ticket represents the best interests of the Freshman Class and warrants your support VOTE IT STRAIGHT!
