Recently we found a volume added to our book lists which will probably go - far to ward achieving this same type of success. John Bentley, himself a driver of no small renown, has produced an over-simplified, but thoroughly entertaining novel concerning Wesley Rich, a writer and motor enthusiast, who finds himself caught up in the sports car racing fever and who, through various exhibitions of piloting skill, is . invited to drive for one of the leading European factory teams. The racing activity is aug mented by the inevitable roman tic interest and even an inter national cloak-and-dagger in trigue. Rich finally manages to untangle these complications and goes on to win a moral victory by deliberately losing his most important race. Exciting This is not a highly technical treatise on racing aimed solely at this sport's most avid and well informed followers, but an ex citing novel intended to please anyone with any interest at all in sports of this sort. Its refer ences are authentic and exciting, and the events are described with the vividness of one who has ac tually experienced them. Bent ley himself has driven in each of the races he mentions and a per sonal parallel can easily be drawn between Rich and his author. Plot The plot is an old standard, but the setting is one toward which most of us, at one time or another, have cast wishful glances. We are shown the cos mopolitan atmosphere of the big time racing circuits and the color and extravagance which sur round them. The factory names are, of course, disguised, but the world's SC, most prominent cars and drivers ram are easily recognized in their in ing dividual settings. ase' This novel is not one of today's ced. artistic works devoted to uncov t a ering psychological motives for A an- human behavior, but rather it ~attempts to provide an interesting *un- and entertaining two or three VO hours' reading. We believe that ield Mr. Bentley has well achieved I by3 this goal.

My Baby Dates A Wolf If he parks his little flivver Down beside the moonlit river, And you feel him all aquiver, Baby-He's a Wolf. If he says you're gorgeous looking, And your dark eyes set him cooking, But your eyes ain't where he's looking, Baby-He's a Wolf. If he says that you're an eyeful, But his hand begins to trifle, And his heart pumps like a rifle, Baby-He's a Wolf. If by chance when you're akissin', You can feel his heart amissin', And you talk but he won't listen, Baby-He's a Wolf. If his arms are strong as sinews, And he stirs the gypsy in you, And you want him close agin' you, Baby-You're- the Wolf. -Wabash College Caveman ludentI Union Resumes fovies After Holidays No movie will be shown in the Russell House next Thurs v, since holidays commence on that date, the Student ion Committee has announcedl.
