PROF. HANEY SPEAKS
ABOUT POWER PLANTS
Lectures to Freshman Engineers
on Phases of Electrical
Problems.
I'owit engineering, power genera
tion, iowcr plant design, and power
transmission was the subject of Trof.
J. V. llanej's talk to freshmen engin
eers Monday at 5 o'clock In M. E. 206.
lie emphasized the Importance of
Importance of proper analysis, appli
cation of theory, modification for prac
tical reasons, and selection of equip
ment In designing a power plant. The
use of which the power Is to be put
and the location of the equipment
within the plant were other import-
ant considerations that ho mentioned
"In a boiler plant, the heat from the
fuel transforms the water to the steam
that operates the steam engines which
in turn actuate the electric genera
tors." Professor Haney pointed out.
"So the selection of the fuel to be
used is of Rreiit importance, l-'or in
stance, it might be cheaper to use
cheap coal, if the plant is located near
mines, with mote wasteful nod conse
quently less expensive equipment 'ban
to buy good machinery and high grade
coal. If the plant Is far fiotu mines,
it might be best to buy the best equip
ment manufactured, since the coal ob
tamable would probably be expensive
and of a good grade.
"The general purpose ol a lower
plant will have quite an effect on the
selection of equipment," be went on.
"If a twenty-four hour current is being
supplii d it would be necess ity to de
sign an entirely different plant frem
that which would do for a factory in
operation only eight hears of the
day.
"Kquipment should bo so located
that a shutdown is almost impossible,
and especially so whin the curtent is
sold for public consumption. This is
not so important, of course, in purely
industrial plants.
Professor Haney tht n shmvid that
it is important t';at the probable fin nr.
growth of a community be taken into
account in designing municipal plants.
Slides were then shown, illustrating
different types of equipment and in
stallation and diflerent methods of
handling fuel and ash.
Professor Haney declared that an
engineer must be a true expert.
"A lawyer makes his charge whether
he wins or loses yc ur case A doctor
collects if hp cures you or kills you,"
he insisted, "but an engineer cannot
make one mis-step. Many prominent
men have made one mis-step early in
their careets'as engineers, and they
have never been able to fully make up
the loss."
YALE MAN EXPLAINS SHOOTING.
(Continued from Page 1)
should be especially encouraged, and
that Is the official recognition of the
sport by tho University Athletic Asso
ciations and. the awarding of the in
signia to members of the team. I have
had so many letters asking for the
basis on which we are awarded let
ters by our Athletic association that
I shall try to clear the matter up here.
It had been till last year the manage
ment's policy to award the rYt tt all
men placing in the Harvard, Princeton
or Oxford matches but there were ob
vious injustices in this method and
last year we recommended for insignia
the ten men with the highest averages
in Hie matches all during tho season.
This method will, 1 think, be found the
fairest. Uist year In addition to the
ten rYt Insignias the Athletic associa
tion recognized our very good record
In the prone shooting by awarding the
five highest men on the team their
class numerals in addition to the rYt.
We are of course given a regular bud
get and are a fully constituted minor
sport. The Athletic association has
been most sympathetic and helpful and
It is difficult to see how they could
have done more. Personally I am very
strongly opposed to the control of the
rifle team by the R. O. T. C. This
tends, to keep the Athletic association
uninterested and limits members of
the team to members of the It. (). T. C.
Co-uperation with the It. O. T. C. is
both necessary and beneficial to botli
At Yale this organization has done n
very great deal for us and only
through the aid of its officers and
commander has the existence and do-
eiopment of the sport been possible I
The ideal arrangement is controlled b
the Athletic association and in co-op
cration with the military. '
We have been unusually lucky in
being situated at the headquarters of
The Winchester Repeating Arms com
pany. They have given us invaluable
assistance in many ways. They pub
lished two programs for us, sent in
siructois of nation-wide reputation
such as Captain Richards and Virgil
Kic hards to help us. anil aided us a
g-eat deal in publicity. 1 would sug
gest to any manager w 1,0 wishes to
p.'ake use of the assistance in publicity

Winchester Repeating Arms company.
New Haven, Conn. Publicity of the
right kind is most desirable in pro
moting the sport. The undergraduate
body cannot be expected to show in
terest unless the matches are written
up in the college paper and other
papers.
For the future I think the greatest
Ing lies in the standardization of con
ditions, tho development of the off
hand, sitting, and kneeling positions
to obtain greater variety; and the rec
ognition more fully by tho jyar depart
ment of the Immense value of Inter
collegiate shooting in the 'preparation
of the nation by sending each year a
certain number of recognized college
teams (not R. O.. T. C. teams) to the
national matches in the summer. Con
gress as well us the war department
must be confronted with the amaz
ing possibilities and eventual econom
ics in I ills typo of preparation and this
can only bo done by unceasing effort
and publicity.
There are times when those who are
striving to promote the sport in col
lege will become pretty discouraged.
It all takes so much time and as col
leges are as a whole very conserva
tive are results may seem so very
small. Yet those who are really work
ing for the sport will find that though
the material honor from their posi
tion is not great they will obtain an
immense amount of satisfaction in
knowing that they are doing their
country great service in helping to
prepuro it for the war which we all
hope may never come. If the- war
conies how many lives may bo saved
by having as a nucleus for an army
a body of college men who bave
learned how to shoot and how to take
care of a rifle. Tho service Is all tho
