Chemistry Finds Better Way to Descale Steel

One of the most bother- someproblemsinthemet- al indtistry is the removal of scale from the surface of stainless steels and other alloys. Scale is a thin film of metal oxide which forms at high tem­ peratures dxiring fabrica­ tion or processing. It is very abrasive to dies and other metal-forming tools, and if not com­ pletely removed causes serious flaws in the sur­ face of finished products.

"To insist that the need exists," con- ^ tinned the Notre Dame president, "is to stress the obvious. A question more to the point is, how is the need to be met. Private gifts, endowments, and grants from State legislatures are inadequate. Universities, already affected by declin­ ing incomes and increasing costs of operations, are reluctant to take on ex­ pensive projects. Industry, reasonably enough, concentrates on applied rather than on pure research, and, in any case, is financially unable to assume the burden.

What increases the specific horror of the possibility of large-scale sabotage is the fact that the atomic bomb could be brought into a highly industrialized part of this country disguised as "cigar light­ ers, keys, a watch, or shoe nails."

First, it is a concus­ sion of incredible magnitude, something for which exact comparisons are unavail­ able in contemporary experience. Sec­ ond, the heat is so terrific that it creates an endless chain of sudden spontaneous combustions long after the bomb has ex­ ploded. Third, the extensive catastrophe of debris flung everywhere catches on fire to burn mth seeming inexhausti­ ble energy for days. It is no longer a waste of time to con­ jecture what would happen if, let us say, an atom bomb fell on the Chicago Loop. Harold Richardson has it all figured out.

The exact date of Father Deseille's arrival in this country is not available but his work in this locality took in the EnpLOYEEb years 1832 to 1837. Like all other mis­ sionaries, he was too occupied to write any memoirs. Information about him must come chiefly from a few letters he wTote to his superiors, friends, and rela­ tives. He would travel from village to village preaching and comforting. It was while he was in the little village of Pokagon that he informed the. Indian flock that they would probably never see him again. "I am going to make a long journey," he said, "so remember me in your prayers and never cease to say your beads in my behalf."

Everything was rolling along fine for ion breakfast. The problem of what to do on Saturday night will be disposed of by extending the program for the afternoon into the evening. There will be no waiting in the long lines in the cafeteria on Sunday morning, because a private breakfast will be arranged. Co-chairmen Fi-itz Funk and Bill Car­ bine made this senior week-end a reality. When Bill Carey, class president, asked Fritz and Bill to take charge of the Ball, the trouble began for the two accounting majors. Eai-ly conferences took place in the dugout of 101 Walsh and the preliminary sketch was made. The Senior Week-end would be more personal than those held in the past. A picnic replaced the tra­ ditional tea dance and a private Mass and breakfast was scheduled for Sunday morning. Then Bill and Fritz began the search for a place to hold the dance.

By PETE BROWN With the exception of the above mentioned play, the Old Timers afforded the spectators the most interesting (or amus­ Under an overcast November sky, the valiant green-shirted ing) plays of the game. The best of these was a reverse from gi-aybeards of Coach Walter Ziemba fell before the powerful Steve Juzwik to Dippy Evans on the kickoff after the third iive-play offense of Coach Frank Leahy's Varsity. The game Varsity touchdown. The play caught the Varsity looking in was played last Saturday in the Stadium before 12,000 chilled spectators, who had the added attraction of the University Band serenading them before the game and at the intermission. After two and a quarter hours of tackles and blocks, the Vai'sity had scored three times, the Old Timers none. The final score was 20-0.

It took the Varsity just a little more than five minutes to register their first score. Fullback Jim Mello did the honors, toting the ball over the last white liiie.

Bob Livingston took the opening kickoff and returned it to the Varsity 26. He and Mello combined to pick up a first down with seven- aiid five-yard jaunts. After three more ti-ies at the line, the Varsity was forced to punt. Quarterback John Lujack booted the ball 41 yards to the Old Timers' 11. After one play which netted nothing, Dippy Evans fumbled the ball. George Strohmeyer, Varsity centei", recovered it on the 10. Two plays later Mello crossed the goal on a seven-yard smash over right tackle. Lujack converted to make the score 7-0.

The second score came as a climax to a 90-yard drive by the Varsity. Sandwiched between short gains by Terry Bren- nan-and Pep Panelli were two passes by QuarteiHiack Frank Tripucka to Panelli and Jim Martin good for 34 and 30 yards. Jerry Cowhig finished the drive by skirting right end for eight yards and tlie touchdown. Tripucka missed the extra point. The score stood 13-0. A long pass douni the middle from Lujack to Simmons finished the day's scoring. The play covered 62 yards with Lujack receives last minute instructions from Coach Leahy before game time.

But the Old Timers unable to capitalize on their opportunity and lost the ball on were unable to make any headway and lost the ball on downs downs. again. The opening of the fourth quarter saw Bob Dove block In the middle of the second quarter Johnny Dee, lend-lease quarterback of the Old Timers, got off a 60-yard punt which rolled over the goal. Even Dee was sui-prised at the distance of his kick. In true pro league foi-m, Juz^vik kicked off over the goal at the start of the third quarter. Flashing the old "44" on the back of his gi-een jersey, Bernie Crimmins showed why he was the No. 1 guard of the nation in '42. He was in on almost every tackle and seldom missed a blocking assignment, a rarity for the Old Timers. The passing of Frank Tnpucka and the defensive play of Johnny Lujack were two pleasing sights among the members of the Varsity. Jim Mello, Jerry Cowhig, Pep Panelli and Terry Brennan came up A\ith some spectacular running which resembled any the spectators who were in on the cuff, might have seen if they paid $3.30 for their seats.

He looked exceptionally good on a pass from Tripucka in the second quai-ter. This play set up the second touchdown.
