Interfraternity Ball Should Attract
175 Couples
Modem - Greeks will go on parade in festive fashion Thurs- day evening at the gymnasium at the annual Interfraternity Ball, the winter's biggest splurge for fraternity men of the Alfred Uni- versity campus, from 9. p. m. to 1:30 a. m.
Curley Johnson's popular 12-piece rhythmeers from Elmira will furnish the swing for the affair, which features a new system of decorations and a lovel gift program, "unequalled,"
say committee members, "in the fra- ternity history of Alfred University."
One hundred seventy-five couples, including members and pledges of Delta Sigma Phi, Theta Kappa Nu, Klan Alpine, Kappa Phi Upsilon and Kappa Nu fraternities and their dates, honorary faculty members of fraternities, and off-campus guests, are expected to attend. The commit- tee reemphasizes its statement that no campus non-fraternity men would be permitted to attend.
Late permission for women will be 1:45 p. m.
Meanwhile preparations went ahead for a system of favors and a door prize which will be inaugurated this year. When each couple enters the dance, a corner of their ticket will be clipped off, and from a set of corresponding numbers will be drawn a winning ticket. The date will re- ceive an expensive door prize.
Bracelets, cigarette cases, compacts, cigarette lighters, and similar gifts will be presented to the women at the dance during the Grand March.
According to the committee, "it is perfectly ethical for any woman to exchange her gift with someone else if she is not entirely satisfied with it."
Under the supervision of George Gregory decorations are progressing in fine shape. The French blue fire- proof gauze "ceiling," purchased in conjunction with the Student Senate and the Ceramic Festival, will be used for atmosphere, and unusual lighting effects and side streamers will com- plete the decorations.
Chaperones for the dance will be faculty members of the Interfraternity Board of Control. Mrs. Vida Tits- worth and Mrs. C. A. Burdett, matrons of Brick and Bartlett, respectively, will be honored guests at the dance.

Betty Crandall Helps Plan For Summer Camp
Attending a Conference at Syracuse last week-end as representatives of Alfred University, Betty Jane Cran- dall and Bert M. Lynn helped formu- late plans for next summer's combined YWCA and YMCA conference to be held_ at Silver Bay on Lake George.
Combining for the first time, the two organizations plan to meet from June 14 to 22. Formerly including the YWCA's of New England, ' the con- ference next year will number men and women from New York State alone. The rest of the New England group will meet at Northfield, Mass.
General plans were made last week- end, including those #or recreation, discussion groups and leaders.
According to Miss Crandall, pro- tests from the men moved breakfast ahead half an hour and set dinner an hour earlier.
At last summer's Silver Bay Con- ference, composed of women alone, Miss Crandall was chosen from over 300 girls for their leadership and ability, will cooperate with five men as direct executives at next summer's meeting.
They will meet later this yeair to complete plans and select leaders.
Miss Orandall is the first delegate from Alfred University to be elected a member of this committee.
Wingate Judges Fiddlers' Meet
Embarking on a program of activi- ty which seeks to emulate and ex- cel last year's -work, the Alfred branch of the American Student Union, national collegiate group fav- oring liberal standards, this week lined up for the year 193(5-37.
Sylvia Gailar and Arthur Lentz were delegates last week-end at Colgate University, where a Conference of Student Unions was in progress. i
"A series of Sunday night meetings j open to all those interested for the purpose of arousing student interest in current affairs will be inaugurated the first Sunday after Christmas va- cation, when the first program in a series in defense of academic freedom will be presented.
Next spring the A.S.U. will con- centrate its efforts on the Student Peace Strike, which it expects will be bigger and more powerful than last year.
The first project of the A.S.U. is the petition being circulated around the campus this week demanding that Bob Burke, noted Anti-Fascist stu- dent, expelled from Columbia, because of his radical beliefs and movements, be reinstated at that university.
Just To Remind You
—Holiday vacation begins Friday noon, Dec. 18.
—and closes Monday morning, Jan. 4, at 8 a. m.
—and you'll lose an hour's credit in any course which you cut on the Friday before vaca- tion or the Monday after vaca- tion.

KUNZMAN, QUITTING AS JUDGE,
DECLARES COURT LACKS POWER
Upperclass Sentiment In Favor Of System
Representative upperclassmen, cor- nered this week by relentless Fiat Lux reporters, came out strongly for continuance of Campus Court, status quo, with the backing of the admin- istration and the support of the upper classes.
Out of nine upperclass men inter- viewed in the survey, seven lined up behind a program of strict enforce- ment, supported by the administra- tion while one advocated an immediate expression of cooperation in enforce- ment or complete abolishment and a ninth favored a cutting down of the rules.
Question and answers follow:
Should Freshman rules and Campus Court be abolished, limited, or main- tained in their present status? .. ..
Freshman rules and Campus Court should not be abolished but rather given some support. The class of '39, who last year pleaded for leniency in the court, this year want closer adherence for the Frosh. If the Court returns to paddling, as it was before the time of the class of '39, and is given the support of the Student Sen- ate and Deans as well as the rest of the student body, it will become a really important organization.
Bob Bruns '38 I think that Campus Court should be maintained, not in its present status, but like it was carried on two years ago, when it was really in force. Campus Court is one of the main factors of college life in Alfred and upper classmen should be respon- sible for seeing that it is not dropped from the college schedule.
As Freshmen are almost men they should conquer the single art of tip- ping their hats in a smooth and con- trolled manner.
Bob Hughes '38 Campus Court should be preserved to maintain a tradition of Alfred's ampus. It is an asset to the student body and a feature of college life.
However, it must be supported by the (Continued on page four)
Text Of Kunzman's Statement:
'Mighty Atom' Hodges Is Recent Bridegroom
Miss Marion E. Zoller of Beaver Falls and Eric G. Hodges of Beaver Falls, the latter a former Alfred Uni- versity football and track star, were married recently.
Mrs. Hodges is a daughter of Mrs.
Edith Zoller of Potsdam.
Mr. Hodges, former "mighty atom"
of the gridiron at Alfred University, has been teaching physical educa- tion and mathematics at Beaver Falls High School since his graduation last June. He captained the Saxon eleven in his senior year and was captain of varsity track last spring.
Fraternities And Sororities Plan Busy Season Now Until Christmas
To the President of the Student Senate:
Upon receipt of this paper, I wish you to officially relieve me of my duties as Judge of Campus Court.
It is my belief, from two months of close observation, that the Campus Court should be an obsolete body in name as well as in power. The Court has striven for two months to give the Freshmen a square deal as far as a fair trial is concerned, and to give the upper- classmen a square deal by prosecuting wayward Freshmen to the best of its ability.
However, the powers of the Court are so limited both by the administration and by the definite lack of interest on the part of the majority of the upperclassmen that any success that the Court may have had to the present date is due more to the argumentative powers of its members rather than to any physical powers that it may possess.
The majority of the Freshmen abide by the rules as they are stated. However, there are a certain few that never will until they are actually brought around by brute force. These Freshmen need not adhere to the rules for the very simple and logical reason that Campus Court really has not the slightest power to enforce the campus rules. If a Freshman refuses to report before the Court, he can do so with perfect immunity.
Members of the upper classes cry that the Freshmen are getting out of control but nobody ever does anything about it. Out of twenty or thirty accusations that may be brought against Freshmen in one week, 90% are from five or six upperclassmen. If the rest do not want Freshmen rules, it is my opinion that they should be abolished without further ado.
Freshman rules have grown up as tradition within our school.
There is a certain amount of sense in them in as much as they limit the powers of a body of individuals who know nothing about the school upon entering, and who should be restricted for a time for that reason. Campus rules include a system of Campus Duties to provide labor for organizations which cannot afford to hire labor to do very necessary work. Such a system has to be backed by a suit- able punishment for non-conformers.
W.S.G. is a power because it is backed by the administration;
Campus Court is a joke because it is not. If the administration feels that it should not uphold this tradition where it does uphold others of equal importance, it is high time that we dropped the entire business as a bad job.
Last year, the Court was resorted to as a means of outlet for personal grudges. "Insubordination" meant everything from cut- ting a Senior at a dance to refusing to pick up a Junior who was bumming to Hornell. The mere receipt of a summons from Campus Court was congruent with the offender being adjudged guilty.
This year has seen a reversal of the Court's policy. Most of the offenders were informed in advance of the nature of their of- fenses; many who had adequate excuse for not adhering strictly to the rules were given a hearing out of Court and pardoned. Very few first offenders were punished and those but lightly. The Court gave every man a chance to say anything he wanted to defend himself and if there was any doubt whatsoever that the accused was not absolutely guilty, he was discharged.
If the Freshmen rules are to be effective, they must have some teeth in them. Public opinion on the part of the upperclassmen is the only solution to the problem other than effacing the rules.
It is not worth the while of any one upperclassman to have to do battle with both his peers and the Freshmen. He should at least be backed by one or the other and the day is indeed far away when he shall be backed by the Freshmen in this case. It therefore be- hooves me to resign from the position.
Sincerely yours,
(Signed) Edward Kunzman

cookies, and hot punch. Rosemary Hallenbeck, chairman, is assisted by Marjorie Mclntosh, Barbara Bliss, Irma Komfort, Lois Burdett, and Bar- bara Suter.
Seeking to. clarify their situation—•
that the administration has recog- nized the magazine but failed to ex- tend the friendly group of coopera- tion to them—Leonard Lerowitz and Robert Bennett, editors of the Sax- onian, today presaged the December issue of Alfred's quarterly magazine with a public letter to the Fiat Lux.
"Obstacles, financial and otherwise, have been set in our path with what seems to be a sadistic delight in see- ing Saxonian squirm," the statement read. "Well, we're not squirming, and our second issue of the school year will be out tomorrow noon."
The editors seek to make this is- sue a plebiscite—dioes the student body want a Saxonian? They feel that they have followed student opinion as expressed in an assembly poll and personal suggestions for a light, well-balanced magazine, and that they have sought to turn theo- retical classroom work in art, short story and feature writing into prac- tical work for a magazine.
Tomorrow's issue will contain art, cartoons, photography, short stories, gossip, light humor, music, sports, an activities calendar, a popularity poll, and a plan for a dating bureau which will be made practical after vacation.
"From the very first we were pro- hibited from soliciting local advertise- ments, local meaning Hornell and Wellsville. The reason, Hornell merchants are overtaxed by Alfred lequests. We had no choice but to seek them, we did and got them, and their attitude was the best."
"Like the rest of Alfred publica-
tions, we were unable to get an of- fice for our work. The result was that equipment was scattered and money and time were wasted."
Throwing darts at the Student Senate, the editors declared that their request for financial aid to tide over the first issues was refused because the Senate said the magazine was not recognized. "As a matter of fact, a meeting of deans, registrar and presi- dent last spring recognized us."
In a statement of future policy, the editors said, "We are running un.ler a tremendous deficit, and un- less aid from administration or Sen- ate is forthcoming, the staff will take
•the matter into its own hands."
Freshman Rules Not Enforced Until Student Senate Acts
A bolt from the 'blue—the sudden resignation of Judge Edward Kunz- man—blasted wide open the entire question of Campus Court and Fresh- man rules for men on the Alfred University campus this week.
Branding Campus Court, traditional taming ground for insubordinate frosh, as a "joke" with "not the slightest power to enforce the campus rules," Edward Kunzman asked that the Student Senate accept his resigna- tion because "it is not worth the while of any one upperclassman to have to do battle with both his peers and the Freshmen."
Senate Must Act
Because of the conflict of pre- Christmas activities President George Gregory of the Student Senate today was doubtful whether the Senate, final student power in the question, would be able to meet to accept or reject the resignation before vaca- tion begins Friday.
Meanwhile a valiant attempt to get expressions of upperclass sentiment on the Court and Rules question was being made on all sides. Elsewhere in this issue will be found several representative comments.
Freshmen went their merry way today, the commendable majority
"abiding by the rules as they are stated," as Kunzman said in the letter of resignation which he made public, while others continued their policy of indifference and violation.
Attempts were being made to get the stand and policy of other colleges of the size of Alfred University on the question of the Court and Rules.
Rules Continue Unenforced Pending Senate action on the regis- nation, Frosh Rules continue with no means of enforcement until a crystal- lized upperclass sentiment evolves some new or revised system.

Forensic Society In Three Debates
Alfred University's debating club, the Forensic Society, was represented in debates over the week-end at three surrounding colleges.
Sylvia Gailar, Sam Sverdlik and Robert Bleakley journeyed to Keuka College, N. Y., where they debated with Keuka College on the question, Resolved: that industrial workers be organized on a craft union basis.. Al- fred upheld the negative but there was no dicision. Miss Gailar gave the rebuttal.
Ray Wilkerson, Weston Drake and Lee Hodges attended a round table discussion at Houghton College, Fri- day night. The discussion, which was Resolved; that the Federal Govern- ment be empowered to enact minimum hours and maximum wage, was one of the best ever attended by Forensic members, according to the three repre- sentatives.
Saturday the same men went to Ni- agara University and upheld the nega- tive of the same question discussed at Houghton, losing the debate.
Campus Imbued With Christmas Spirit—Many Programs Listed
Christmas spirit reigns supreme on the Alfred University campus this week.
Red candles and green evergreen overshadowed by silver carried out the Christmas spirit at the first high mass sung in Alfred by a quartet from ihe St. Bonaventure College Semi- nary Sunday at Newman Club ser- vices.
Featured was the Ave Maria sung by Mrs. S. R. Scholes. Rev. Hyacinth Barnhardt presided over the Catho- lic Christmas service, which took place in the Gothic.
Tuesday night the Y.W.C.A. will follow its custom of caroi-singing in
a tour of the village, starting from the Brick about 10:15 p. m. Betty Jane Crandall will lead the singing.
The Y. W. will hold a Christmas party with a tree, gifts and candy for 17 needy grade school children Wednesday evening. A free matinee for all local grade school children at the Alfred Cooperative Pictures through the courtesy of Dr. Gilbert Campbell will precede the supper and party.
Its annual Candlelight service at the University Church was the choir's part in the Christmas festivities Sun- day evening. A large group of list- eners attended.

Dance for Frats Only
The Interiraternity Council to- day made public the following statement:
"To avoid any unnecessary em- barrasment we wish to make it clear that only members, pledges, and honorary faculty members of fraternities and their dates will be admitted to the Interfraternity Ball on Thursday, Dec. 17."
Alfred Visitor Had Wartime Spy Record
Alfred's mysterious visitor who strode into town concealed be- hind a long mustache, sheepskin coat, and coonskin hat last week, has turned out to be a wartime spy, arrested in 1918 for violation of the Espionage Act.
Calling himself Charles B. Tal- leyrand, the stranger appeared here on Dec. 1, claiming to be in search of a position as professor of Spanish.
According t o the Federal De- partment of Justice, Charles Tal- leyrand, alias Charles Bernel and Charles Bernal, was convicted a s an international spy in December 1918, and given a $10,000 fine and 20 year sentence, which was com- muted to two years.
Talleyrand, who was arrested and dismissed by Hornell Police, asserted that he was a former pro- fessor a t a Washington, D. C.
school.

Campus Court Crisis
Alfred must choose one of three policies—rigid enforcement by bruite strength, continuance of the present half-hearted Campus Court, or a limitation of Freshman Rules abolishing all need for the Court. This was made clear today by the cumulation of events succeeding Edward Kunzman's resignation as Judge of Campus Court.
"We have seen the "brute force" enforcement of past years, with personal grudges, biased charges, unprovable accusations dominat- ing the system. "We have seen recalcitrant freshmen persist this year in disregarding the freshman rules.
Let us forget we are collegiate. Let us eliminate the sock-wear- ing, tie-wearing, grass-walking, match-carrying sections of the frosh rules and make wearing of freshman caps attendance at athletic contest, and non-smoking on the campus the only restrictions.
The frosh caps lend the greatest aura of collegiana to this campus of ours. If dormitory counsellors, interested upperclassmen, and possibly a dean-appointed committee cannot make our insub- ordinate yearlings see the light, Alfred is not what we think it is.
Campus Court jurors will tell you that the best cures worked this year were made by sitting down and pointing out a few things to the frosh.
If our yearlings even then cannot get themselves to obey the rules, it is time the administration stepped in and weeded the crop of poor Alfredites.
This is all for future action. At the present, if the Senate ac- cepts Kunzman's resignation, we will find our frosh with no means, imaginary or otherwise, of coercion. Why not inaugurate a new program immediately?
Rules For Rosemary
Those who complain that women's rules at A^red are too strict, should look through the Freshman Bible of Rosemary Hall, gjrls' school in Greenwich, Conn.
Young women in that institution wear black stockings in the evening, but do not wear pearls because the recently-retired head of the school says they "are not real jewels".
Young men may call on Rosemary girls Sunday evenings for supper, provided they stay for chapel and hymns afterward. /
Penalties are stricter than Alfred "campuses". For smuggling in and eating a box of chocolates, Times Magazine reports, a girl was expelled. For eating a grape after hours, another was forbidden to attend the Rosemary Feast.
Comparing these regulations with the more liberal ones in effect as some of the larger colleges indicates that Alfred rules, which are imposed by the women themselves, strike a half-way mark.
If not as liberal as some, they are more liberal than others. It is entirely possible that women's rules here should be further liberal- ized, but there is no reason to think that Alfred is years behind times just because the necessary changes have not been made.

This week's gold star goes to the Blue Key The Key, since it's reorganization as a national hon- orary fraternity last February, has done more for Alfred than any other organization.
From one of last year's Fiats, we find the future program of the Blue Key to include: (1) Reorganization of Intramural Basketball League.
(2) Sponsorship of an intramural Softball tournament. (3) Innovation of all-college tennis tournament. (4) Wiinter sports organization.
December, 1936, finds each of the outlined aims a fact. A new Intra- mural Board, with John Barvian as President has been organized and is at present albly conducting a tourna- ment. Seven teams took part in a successful Key sponsored softball tourney held last spring. The planned tennis tournament went off as sched- uled. And the first step in the Blue Key's winter sports program, a skat- ing rink, has become a reality. Ad- verse weather conditions have prevent- ed the Key from flooding the rink—
and not even the Blue Key can change the weather.

Alfred's yearling basketeers sank the Shinglehouse High five, 41-20, last Saturday night, and tomorrow night at the gym, they will be gunning for their third straight triumph as they tangle with the strong Rochester Business Institute cagers.
Bob Glynn and Mike Corbman paced the Saxon courtment to vic- tory over the small, but plucky, Shinglehouse five. Glynn's constant aggressive tactics netted him 14 points while Corbman's cool accuracy was good for 8 points.
Shinglehouse had previously been undefeated in four games and are a power in the Central Pennsylvania League. However, the true worth of the Frosh may better be determined by their showing against the ever strong R.B.I, team. Last year saw R.B.I, and Alfred split a two game series, Alfred winning the first affair, 31-30, and losing the second 26-24.

A very tall Big Red team conquered our Saxons by a score of 47-24 on the victor's court before a crowd of 1500, including the famed Cornell band.
Amidst inspired cheering, and a blaring band, the Ithacans, led bj Capt. Rich, set up an offense which was simply too much for our gallant but Short squad. Height, and plenty of it was chiefly responsible for the Alfred loss.
The game had progressed close to two minutes before a score was made.
Captain for the evening, Nick Ober- hanick, sank a foul to give the Saxons a 1-0 lead. Cornell retaliated with an overhead field goal to gain a 2-1 ad- vantage, which they never relinquish- ed. Using a fast break and a pick-
of dogs, who set up an awful howling were present at the game—fouls were about even—the new Saxon uniforms created quite a stir—all the members of both squads took part in the game
—Don .Vredenburgh counted a two- pointer one second before the gun—
what is this Schachter injury jinx—
Ken Vance's close-guarding and fast charging game finally sent him to showers on fouls—Fargione's aggres- siveness and Arkdn's improved pass- ing stood out.

steadily added to its lead to leave the count at half time with the score 30-16 in their favor.
Schachter and Oberhanick tied as j high scorer for Alfred with six points each. Schachter entered the tilt with a bad leg, but before the game was many minutes old, he suffered an ad- ditional ankle injury plus a swollen wrist. In spite of his physical dis- abilities, he gave an excellent account of himself, playing a neat floor game,
putting in a spectacular leftnanded j at the University of Buffalo, where pivot shot and a long set shot which! he is enrolled in the freshman class

of the College of Law.
Fine, Co-Captain of last year's suc- cessful mat team which won five out of six meets, was one of the greatest a taller opponent and took the ball
off the backboard in excellent form despite the height of his opponents.
He was the only wearer of the Purple and Gold to play every second of the forty minutes.
The final score leaves very little room for alibis, at any rate Ray Buck- ley, playing his first visiting varsity game was notica:ble nervous, while expert floor play of Shoemaker was somewhat missing.
Cornell's scoring threats, Rich and Foertsch, broke into the scoring column with beautiful set shots and spectacular overhead loops. A bas- ket-hanging play caught Alfred off guard on quite a few occasions.
Sideline Notes—our boys were up against not only a taller team, but a much faster team—ia goodly number
Thus, it will be teacher against pupil on Feb. 17, at Buffalo, and on Feb. 27, at Alfred, when Coach Seid- lin's grapplers meet the matmen of his former pupil, Coach 'Sidney S.
Fine of Buffalo University.

Minnick Coaching Aggie Courtmen
Dan Minnick has been recently ap pointed coach of the Ag. School basketbell team. Minnick is probably one of the greatest athletes ever to wear a Saxon jersey, having won three letters each in basketball and cross country and two in track.
A squad of 25 men has answered Coach Minnick's call or candidates, and are working twice weekly at the high school gym. From these men, most of whom are inexperienced, Dan must fashion a team to go through a tough 13 or 14 game schedule, among whom are Geneseo Normal, Alfred Frosh, Rochester Business In- stitute, Oneonta Normal, Cobleskill Ag. School, and possibly the Hobart Frosh.
The following is the schedule of women's intramural basketball, as ar- ranged by Manager Warda Vincent:
Women's Intramural Jan. 4—7:45—Brick I
Outsiders 8:30—Theta Chi vs.
Brick II Jan. 11—7; 45—Brick II vs.

Tomorrow night at the gymnasium, Alfred's varsity courtment will meet the invading Canadians of McMasters University in the feature game of a basketball double bill.
McMasters, a Hamilton, Ontario university with an enrollment of 650, is an unknown quantity as far as basketball ability is concerned. How- ever, Coach Cox's men, still smarting from a decisive Cornell defeat, will be fighting hard and ready for any kind of opposition.
The battle for posts on the first five is being so closely contested, that Coach Cox has found it necessary to cut his junior varsity men and devote all his attention to the var- sity. The men on the revamped squad are Nick Oberhanick, Norm Schachter, Bob Shoemaker , Ray Buckley, Buzzy Keefe, Ken Vance, Sandy Arkin, Dick Brownell, Mike Fargione, Ken Getman, Don Vreden- burgh, Lyle Perkins, Joe Proe, and Joe Majeske.

Desmond Teague '38 Have fewer rules (about five) and a more strict enforcement of them which can be obtained only by strong backing of the administration.
Roger Young '38 Campus Court should be continued on its present basis with sufficient power to enforce the rules; drastic means should be used to line up the ten men who are flaunting this insti- tution.
Donald C. Hallenback '37 Campus Court snould not be abol- ished. The administration should back it. Paddling should be allowed for a third offense. Frose should tip their hats to the faculty if to no one else.
George Hill '37 I believe that the frosh rules should be continued, not that they should be enforced for a shorter period of time.
The cooperation of the upper classes is necessary to secure their enforce- ment.
George Gregory '37 If frosh rules are to be continued, Campus Court must be given more au- thority to enforce its decisions. Un- less t h e faculty and upperclassmen are willing to cooperate both frosh rules and Campus Court should be aboblished immediately.

Lack of Cooperation
(Continued from page one) Kunzman declared that the half- hearted success of the Court this fall is "due more to the argumentative powers of its members" than any- thing else. He asserted, "Campus Duties, providing labor foi organiza- tions which cannot afford to hire labor to do very necessary work, has to be backed by a suitable punish- ment for non-conformers," and "pub- lic opinion of the part of upperclass- men is the only solution to the prob- lem other than effacing the rules."
The letter drew a distinct line be- tween frosh rules for men and for women. "Women's Student Govern- ment is a power because it is backed by the administration; C a m p u s Court is a joke because it is not."
Kunzman challenged the administra- tion either to uphold the tradition as is does other of equal importance or drop the entire business as a bad job.
Following a policy determined to
;ake the Court away from its person- al-grudge policy of last year which brought freshman' revolt and a con- sequent revision in the freshman 'ules, the Court this year attempted :o be a just tribunal, Kunzman de- clared, but it had no power.
Women's Intramural Tourney Under Way As Amazons Win
Brick Amazons Defeat Brickbats 11-3 In Initial Woman's Court Game
Sports rhythms, the only course of ts kind in the United States, is being offered at Louisiana State University, t is intended to teach football, tennis, j swimming, basketball, and track con-j didates more nearly perfect timing.
Opening with a double-header be- tween the Brick Amazons and Brick- b,ats, Pi Alpha Pi and Sigma CM Nu, the women's intramural basketball tournament started off with a bang last Monday night a t the gym.
In the game between the two Brick teams, the Brickbats led off with a whirlwind attack, headed by Winnie Winikus, who sank a field goal during the first three minutes of play. The Amazons followed with a field goal and a foul shot which put them ahead 3-2 at the half.
Aided by good passing and fine co- operation from the guards, the Ama- sons forged steadily ahead to an 11-3 victory. Both teams played well for a first game and show promise of fine work when the rough edges have been smoothed off with practice.
Both teams have several' players of former years who have proven them- selves fine material, among them j
Winikus, Snyder and Zubiller. Eng- bers and Haseloff appear, a t pres- ent, to be t h e most outstanding of the frosh.

Burglar Loots Wrong House
If the burglar who looted a frater- nity house at the University of South- ern California had been an Olympic star he would have had some chance of getting away with his pilferings.
He ran down the dark avenue as fast as he could go but faster foot- steps gained on him. Before he got a block away, he was tackled from behind—tackled by Harold Small- wood, national 400 meter champion.
