IVY LOOP" PARTY
NOT ALL FISHING
Lyman Plantation Gathering
Seen as Binding Closer
Sports Relations.
Ry the Associated Press.


n IEw YORK. December IS
nj Athletic leaders from seven
Eastern colleges bound by
= tradition into what has come
to be called the ivy League" are
meeting this week at the Georgia
plantation of Jim Lyman. Cornell's
athletic director, to do little hunting
and fishing.
According to the announcements,
the sole purpose is recreation, but
unless all signs point in the wrong
direction the ties that bind the in
formal college organization together
may be drawn tighter before the
week is up. 1t seems only natural
that the men who carry the athletic
burdens should talk bit about their
common problems
Already the seven colleges, Co.
lumbia Cornell, Dartmouth, Harvard,
Pennsylvania. Princeton and Yale,
have much in common. They form
the membership of the Eastern inter-
collegiate basket ball and base ball
leagues: their track and field athletes
have met annually for the past few
years in the heptagonal meet; their
relations in minor sports are friendly
and their foot ball schedules inter-
lock as much as those Of most
leagues do.
Evening star., 1936-12-15
Harvard and Penn Resume.

IN FOOT BALL, the sport that
counts most in the formation of
such a league, they have been steadily
drawing closer together in recent sea-
sons. Princeton and Harvard healed
their famous break" the Tigers
hooked up again with Penn and
Dartmouth after long lapses, Yale and
Penn began to get together, and the
latest move sees Harvard and the
Quakers resuming their foot ball
rivalry after IL years. They an
nounced yesterday they will play a
home-and-home series in 1939-40,
their first meetings since 1928.
During the past gridiron season the
league" schedule showed each team
playing two to five games within the
circuit and all but Columbia, Penn
and Harvard were at the top mark.
Next Fall IA more league games are
on the schedule with each member
playing three or more.
Interest in the suggestion Of an or
ganized league was revived recently
by editorials in the student news
papers of the seven colleges advocat-
ing the plan. Alumni publications
also have taken it up.

THE THIN, NERVOUS
woman is always in a hurry,
even in a beauty parlor.

humorists carry avoirdupoiS with
a laugh, while the cynicS are in
clined to be thin and tense.
The beauty salon operators, who
ought to know, find weight an al
most infallible clue to tempera-
ment. The thin, nervous woman
pops in, always right on the dot,
and the service is Speeded up, for
she has neither the time nor the
patience to wait. She wants to get
in and out and on her way in a
hurry.
But not so with the overweight,
who has all the time in the world,
and the happy gift of relaxing in
the first available easy chair. She
curlS up as coy as a kitten, and
Is perfectly content to have the
treatment go on for hours.
Slow movements are economical
OF calorieS, and that is one rea-
son placid people have enough
left over to store. They are not
built for speed. Haste makes
waste motion, and thin people
use up every last calorie in rush
ing around. The thinner you are,
the faster you go and the more
calorieS you burn.
You can understand the rela-
tion of speed to weight when you
consider that fast movements burn
three times as many calories as
slow movements. Very fast walk
ing, at the rate of five miles. per
