Will Launch Campaign For WSSF in Assembly
Robert Bilheimer, Yale '40, will launch the two day campaign of the WSSF on the Alfred campus with his assembly talk, "Ameri- can Students and the New Order," in Alumni Hall, Thursday morning.
Speaking of him as a friend, Chaplain Genne pointed out that,
"His experiences before the war, plus his added contacts with world student organizations, give him a wealth of background.
Immediately following Assembly, a Model A Ford will be auctioned from the steps of Kenyon Hall. The car,
•which answers to the name "Perky", has been donated to the WSSF by AUCA President Richard Humphrey '41. Humphrey will pilot "Perky" to the auction, under its own power, and there explain its pedigree. Bid- ding will begin at five dollars.
Present Executive Director of the World Student Service Fund, Mr.
Bilheimer attended both the Amster- dam and Nunspeet Conferences in the summer of 1939 and spent the re- mainder of the summer in cycling about Europe, studying European youth movements.
Forum Scheduled
An open forum will be held in Ken- yon Chapel at 4:30 on Thursday, for those who wish to become further ac- quainted with the WSSF and Mr. Bil- Jieimer. He expects to remain on campus until Friday noon and will be available to groups and individuals for conferences while here.
The Alfred campaign will be re- stricted to personal pledges on Thurs- day and Friday, February 20 and 21.
The WSSF Committee will make its appeals on the basis that each twenty dollars raised will provide for a full
<:ollege-year for a Chinese student and ten dollars worth of books and writ- ing supplies for prison cara^ univer- sities in Europe. Alfred's share in the American goal of ?100,000 has fceen set at $500 by the committee.

Sadie Hawkins Coming Soon
Sadie Hawkins is coming to Alfred again. Last year sponsored by the Student Senate, this year the two- day affair is being planned by the W.S.G. for the week-end beginning February 27.
On that Thursday, the regular meet- ing of the W.S.G. will be open to the entire campus, men as well as wo- men. It will be held at five o'clock in the chapel of Kenyon Hall.
The Sadie Hawkins dance will be held at South Hall, from 8 to 12:00 on Friday evening, the 18th. It will be preceded by buffet suppers at the girls' residence houses.
A date bureau will be operated for this week-end. Persons, men or wo- men, desiring the services of the bureau, should send their order, stat- ing their own qualifications and those desired of a date, to the Date Bureau, Box 565.
Entertain Ag Assembly
R. Crawford Livingston of Maine entertained the Aggies at their assem- bly Friday. While he lectured on con- temporary art, he made a water color portrait of Ellen Barnes '42, who had been selected to model for the artist.
Family Portrait Will Have New Set Technique
"By making use of our new plan for shifting scenery and by the co- operation of a skilled stage crew of six, it should be possible to change the involved sets in "Family Portrait"
in from two to four minutes," states Norman Emdin '42, stage manager and coordinator of all production activities for the forth-coming Footlight Club and Theta Alph Phi production'.
The brilliance of Cowden and Cof- fee's moving drama, "Family Por- trait," rests not only in its splendid dialogue but also in the four impose ing settings that the play's seven scenes necessitate. The scenery, as used in the Alfred1 production1, left the drafting boards of Norman Emdin and Arthur Crapsey '42 co-designers, early in January and actual construction of the 50 required pieces was begun late last month.
A staff of six production technicians have devoted their time during the past three weeks to the matter of con- struction. At the present time, Emdin reports, the scenery is completely con- structed, needing only painting to finish the work of construction.
The majority of the furniture pieces to be used in this play will have been built at the stage craft shops in South Hall. Previous1 to this, most of the larger properties had either been rented or borrowed.
An innovation that promises to speed up the time of shifting the scenes is the specially constructed platforms that are used in three scenes. These platforms designed by Crapsey and Emdin, are cooap- sable, and the time required to transform them from a knocked-down condition to a substantial, rigid plat- form will not exceed four seconds.
The production staff, headed1 by Emdin and Crapsey, is composed of Hal Bernstein '42, Jean Meritt '42, and Louise Kenyon '42.
DONATES PURCHASE FUNDS
Mrs. William L. Ames of Day- tona Beach, Florida, has recently made a gift of $11,600 to Alfred University to cover the purchase price of the local public school building recently acquired by the University and renamed South Hall.
The gift came quite unexpected from this generous donor and will re- lieve the Board of Trustees of the Uni- versity from responsibility for the payments which with certain interest charges involved they had expected to make to the District in annual install- ments over a period of years.
South Hall with its gymnasium pro- vides excellent facilities for the De- partment of Physical Education for Women, classroom and laboratory space for the Department of Business and Secretarial Studies, and a band and orchestra practice room. Con- venient office rooms also are available for these departments. The newly acquired building not only provides these better facilities but also re- leases needed space in other campus buildings.
Mrs. Ames, whose girlhood home was in Alfred and who was at one time a student here, has many times shown her deep interest in and loyalty to the school. Most notable was her gift in 1930 of the Susan Howell Social Hall bearing her girl- hood name and now so important and beautiful a center for the social life of the University. As a trustee, and personally Mrs. Ames has aided her Alma Mater in many other useful ways.

Visitors from far and wide have affixed their signatures to the books of the Allen Steinheim Museum in the past 18 years, a recent survey of the records since 1922 revealed.
Most famous have been Carl Sand- burg, noted American poet, who ap- peared at Alfred several years ago on the Forum program, and Jacq Vermack, famous carillonneur from the Netherlands, who viewed the his- toric building during his stay here for the purpose of playing on the Davis Memorial Carillon.
Foreign Cities Included Constantinople, Paris, Canton, Bom- bay, London, and Dublin are among the foreign cities represented, while other visitors have hailed from such places as the Fiji Islands; the Yukon, Canada; Nadejda, Russia; Tunis, Al- geria; the Philippine Islands; and Punjab, India.
Nevada is the only one of the 48 states not mentioned on the books, although Washington, D. C, the "49th state" is included.
Author Included
Recent among distinguished visit- ors is Miss Allena Champhie Best, granddaughter of Jonathan Allen, second president of Alfred University fcnd founder of the Museum. Miss Best is the author of several chil- dren's books, which she has written under the pen-name of Eric Berry.
She was here In Alfred during the latter part of last summer.
If verification could be made of some of the signatures in the books, the Steinheim would have a far more amazing list of registrants. Notable among the fictitious entries are such names as "Mrs. Adolph Hitler and Junior, Berlin, Germany"; Queen Lil, Hawaii"; "Prince of Wales, England";
"Mme. Jean J. Rousseau, Versailles";
"Joseph Stalin and officers, Mascow, Russia"; and "Colonel Charles Lind- ner;;1- "opewell. N. J."

Heating Plant Saves Money
Proper heating of the buildings at Alfred University is costing less than the "somewhat unsatis- factory" heating of past years be- cause the University has installed the Webster moderator heat-con- trol system, said President J.
Nelson Norwood in a recent re- port.
The University engineers also have provided additional heat savings through utilization of waste steam.
Waste steam from the boilers is piped through a tank pre-heating the water before it is pumped into the main boilers. After the waste steam passes through the pre-heating tank it Is piped to two buildings where it fur- nishes more than adequate tempera- tures.
During the past summer the Uni- versity spent more than $16,000 In rebuilding the interior of the central heating plant, which had been in use since 1918. Modernization of the plant has helped lower heating costs.
Dairy Club to Hold Skating Party Soon
Members of the Dairy Science Club are planning a roller-skating party to be held Wednesday evening in Wells- ville. Prof. E. M. Myers will accomp- any the group.

WSSF guarantees its money deliveries
Questions about the WSSF have arisen in campus debates from students who would like to support the Fund but also have misgivings about the administration of any war relief fund.
Will our money take food to Europe and event- ually to Hitler? Will the Fund heads be able to use our money as they see fit?
Captor nations must provide suitable food and shelter for war prisoners.. Supervision of this is one function of the Red Cross. Belliger- ents are mutually thankful for this internation- al referee, and the Red Cross is thus placed in the position of having more authority than de- manded. It and the YMCA War Prisoners' Aid are the only two organizations allowed to or- ganize camp universities and recreation.. The guarantees given by their records in the First and Second World Wars prompt the WSSP heads to invest them with the distribution of
funds. /
We have guarantees from all angles that the WSSF will be used just as we ourselves would wish, to provide for the continuance of educations which might otherwise be forever dis- continued by the war situation.
Support of the WSSF is a reflection of our faith in the value of education and in a brother- hood of students. It is an extension of the ideal of General Chiang Kai Chek—that students can best serve their country by completing their educations.
Finally, this is the one peace movement which can set foot in Europe now. Education of those for whom the war is over is a concrete preparation for post-war reconstruction.

Assembly situation cued to Senate
Some horses have to be prodded every so often or else they will lie down on the job. Some people are like that. When they think that every one has forgotten what they are doing they
get lax and don't do their job.
The assembly situation is getting worse in- stead of better in spite of the numerous warn- ings of the various members of the faculty. Pre- liminaries are interrupted by the late-comers which include faculty and students alike. Natur- ally, after so many warnings some action will have to be taken to correct this situation. No one will be surprised if the administration an- nounces that no one will be admitted to assem- bly after a certain time.
On January 14, the Fiat Lux ran an edi- torial urging students to improve the situation themselves by coming on time. Now it is up to the Student Senate to take definite action on the matter. In fact this is long over due. It should- n't have been necessary for the faculty to say .anything about the condition. The Senate should have seen it as one of their duties in gov- erning student life to solve the problem long before.
Is the Senate going to wait until the faculty is forced to take action or is this group going to act? Horses that have to be prodded to get any work done are seldom worthwhile; neither are people.

Name-calling, device of propaganda
The free use of the word propaganda in the past few years has led to much confusion and to many wrong impressions. It has become the habit of everyone to condemn any idea with which he was in disagreement as propaganda.
That, in itself, may be fair enough, but what these persons fail to do is admit that there is both good and bad propaganda. To the ma- jority the word propaganda connotes something which is told to them for the purpose of con- vincing them of some idea, not based on fact, which they do not want to believe. Both the
users of the word and the listeners are at fault for having let such an interpretation become attached to a perfectly good English word.
Webster has defined it thus, "any organized or concerted group, effort, or movement to spread particular doctrines, information, etc., or
"a plan for The propagation of doctrine or sys- tem of principles." With this definition in mind, how can anyone maliciously brand any effort to promote the ideals of any doctrine propaganda.
Active thinkers of today should realize the mean- ing of propaganda and should give all that they hear and see enough consideration so they may recognize the significance of such doctrines.
The important thing is not to declaim any movement, but rather to evaluate and to judge wisely what it has to offer. More especially then, do not use propaganda as a shield. Do not think that classifying various schools of thought as propaganda frees you fromi the duty of clear and effective thinking.

Music in the air
By Bob Burdick
Benny Goodman's new band, recently heard playing at the Cornell Junior Prom, proves to be a strong capable unit which shows signs of becoming the best band tHat B. G. has yet or- ganized. Cootie Williams, sepia trumpeter of Duke Ellington fame, sings some of the more Harlemesque tunes with the band, in addition to his marvelous horn-playing in the. new Sextet.
The Goodman clarinet is still tops, as proven by his "Down Beat'' rating as Favorite Soloist, hav- ing a lead of 1024 votes over his nearest con- tender.
New York's Hotel Lincoln features the ro- bust tenor sax of Tony Pastor, and his excellent orchestra. This young, but "solid" organization is climbing rapidly, because of the ability of the band itself, the thrilling arrangements offered, and the composing and playing skill of its leader.
Tony's band broadcasts for N.B.C. many nights weekly.
To answer the question of "What happened to John Kirby and his orchestra of the Flow Gently, Sweet Rhythm program?", it is believed that the "biggest little band" is on tour, and will resume its Sunday afternoon broadcasts upon the completion of its appearance trip throughout the country.
The "jungle telegraph" rumors that ASCAP will soon compromise with the radio moguls, and the Department of Justice. This will be a welcome move, as it will allow the soloists who are the prime features in many of the outstand- ing bands, to again improvise instead of i play- ing written solos according to radio's special rulings.
The Dorsey brothers, and their respective bands, are now gracing !the airways, Jimmy for N.B.C, and Tommy for Mutual. Both groups are tops in Swingland, aided and abetted by the notable musicianship of both "boys".
The ethereal Chamber Music Society of lower Basin Street starts its second year as a sustaining N.B.C. program feature on Monday night, having.celebrated its birthday last week with Dr. Allesandro (Alec) Templeton as guest star. May there be many more such birthday parties for this group.

BY THE EDITORS
"I refuse to hold anymore eggs this year!"
"Has Hell started again?" "Are you going to eat off the mantle this week?" These were a few of the comments of the faculty that were made last Monday when Hell Week officially started for two of the Greek houses, Kappa Psi and Klan Alpine.
Kappa Psi really did a good job on their pledges, while Klan Alpine pledges claim that they had it easy. Their task was to decorate the house for their pledge dance.
At the unearthly hour of 6:30 o'clock last Monday morning a long line of hapless individu- als was seen walking up that long hill back- wards. These slaves arrived at the house and humbly announced their presence while bowing before the symbol of authority, the house ban- ner. Then these fellows quietly walked up the stairs backwards, if you can .imagine .such .a thing, and gently awakened their masters. Get- ting breakfasts, carrying books and writing letters were only a few of the little tasks that they performed for their "big brothers".
One pledge had to collect autographs of prominent girls, which was alright in itself, but he had to collect them on that paper that you get 1000 sheets for a nickle. Selling snow didn't net much profit for one pledge but they say that he didn't have much capital invested in it.
Don't think that all these fellows did all this work for nothing, oh no, they all received their just reward every night in a little session held at the house. The rewards were really felt deeply.

Another assembly program has passed, and may it rest.
For quite a while it has been my opinion and the opinion of not a few members of the student body, that the assembly programs have been unadulterated propaganda. I know that wherever we go, what- ever we do, propaganda and war news crop up, but at least we have the privilege of ignoring it, if we wish. If we are listening to the radio, we can turn it off, or leave the theatre if the movie doesn't please us,—but not so the assembly program. We must sit through some speech or movie which goes against all our principles and con- cepts, simply because it is required that we attend assembly, in order to graduate.
Ordinarily, it would not be the place for the student body to criti- cize or question the choice of as- sembly programs, but in this case, I feel that criticism is entirely justi- fied. In a way, the programs are defeating their own purpose, in that while they do make us more aware of danger to ourselves, it is also giving us a "what-the-hell" at- titude about the whole thing. Con- scription is here, and war a grave possibility, and what good is a col- lege education going to be?
Why can't we have more as- sembly programs like the one Mrs.
Seidlin presented? I think every- one agrees thhat her's was one of the best this year. Our programs

"All books are either dreams or swords,
You can cut or you can drug with words." —Amy Lowell
"The Story of a Man Who Was"
is the subtitle given by James Hil- ton t o his latest novel, "Random Harvest". Laid in England be- tween the two World Wars, it i s a story comparable to "Rebecca" for its suspense.
Hilton expresses an attitude toward life in the following quo- tation.
"A is your life before the war in- jury; B is your life between that injury and the moment in Liver- pool last December 27 when, ac- cording to your statement, you suddenly remembered your name and identity; C is your life since then. Now it is demonstrably true that during Period C, that is to say, at the present time, you enjoy a normally clear recollection) of both Period C and Period A, but not of Period B." Am I right?
That was1 the problem facing Chajles' Rainier, hero of "Random Harvest", the struggle he had t o bring together the various threads of his life provides t h e motivation for this powerful story by t h e author whose "Lost Horizons" and
"Goodbye, Mr. Chips" have become American classics.
Hilton got his title from a Ger- man Official Report stating that
"According to a British Official Re- port, bombs fell at random."

should be educational and informa- tive, but they should also be en- joyable. We don't want a program which will rankle in our minds, spoil our appetites and leave us dis- satisfied and restless.

Somebody ought to recruit the fencing team for duty with the debating outfit. As one fan put it, "The'y fence for thirty seconds and argue for five minutes".

Tough but oh, so interesting are the problms that Dartmouth students in higher math get in exams. Not so long ago Prof.
Bancroft Brown sprung this one on a class.
"In the game of shooting craps, the caster rolls two dice and wins if (a) the sum be 7 or 11, (b) if the sum be 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 9, 10 and if this same sum reappears be- fore 7 is ever seen. (Ed. Note:
These elementary rules will have to be taken for granted. Couldn't find any guy on campus who could verify them). To obviate the odds against the caster, a dishonest caster employs two dice, one true the other loaded so that a certain number always appears on top.
What should this number be in order to give him the maximum advantage?"
Notice: We will sell a six- inch Hemmi slide-rule to the high- est bidder. Guaranteed ~\o figure the problem out if handled cor- rectly.
=R * *
Another problem from the files of the worthy Prof. Brown reads thusly: "An, ordinary monthly calendar for the leap-year 1940 is hung in a western bar-room.
On an unspecified day of the week of January 7-13 a cowboy enters the bar-room, draws his revolver and shoots out the date, the bullet passing through all twelve sheets. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers is odd?"
If you can figure those out you're a better man, Gunga Din, a better man.

That Cortland Normal game goes down on record as the long- est ever played at Alfred. And we might add, the most harrow- ing—for players and fan.
Carillonneur Observes Weather
Prof. Ray W. Wingate can tell exactly what the weather has been on each Friday and Sunday and on every holiday for the past year except for the month of August.
According to a record he has kept each time he played the carillon, 46 of the days that he played were cloudy. Twenty-six times he played on beautiful days. Nineteen days were snowy, 14 were rainy, 12 were clear and cold, blizzards raged on 6 days, 5 days were hot and sultry, and 4 were cool.
Gales whipped around the carillon tower last Easter Sunday. On April 21, 1940, there was a blizzard and 4 inches of snow, June, 1940, was the coldest June on record. The average temperature was 48.
Prof. Wingate played a total of 119 concerts in 1940. He played 326 dif- ferent selections and a total of 1,632 numbers.
"The Song of the Bell" and "The Bells of St. Marys" are requested most often. The list of selections which he has played the most is head- ed by "America". Others ranking high are "America the Beautiful,"
"Doxology," "Joyful, Joyful," "Now The Day Is Over," "Plantation Melo- dies," "In The Gloaming," "I Love Y<» Truly" and t h e "Alma Hater."
Big Mearl (Mike) Greene, holder of shot-put record for the school, and fool bailer of the first order, added another record to
; his list Wednesday as the Purple and Gold matmen swamped the University of Buffalo by a 32-0 count.
Wrestling in the heavy weight di- vision, Greene registered a pin over Flack of the Bison outfit just 40 sec- onds after Referee Lamberti gave the starting signal, the fastest pin ever executed by an Alfred matman.
With two wins standing against two losses ttie Yunevich-men will stack up against St. Lawrence University on Saturday evening at South Hall gym- nasium. The match is scheduled to get under way at 7:30 o'clock.
Greene's pin of Flack in the Buffalo tilt came as the climax-capper of a complete rout during which four pins and four decisions were rung up by the squad in the eight bouts.
Decisions were posted by Don Lem- burg, 121 pounds; Royce Luce, 136 pounds; Haik Kavookjian, 155 pounds;
and Reggie Miner, 165 pounds.
"Frenchy" LeBlanc, 128 pounds; Stan Gutheinz, 145 pounds; and Bill Hur- ley, 175. pounds, all pinned their men in addition to Greene.
St. Lawrence will invade South Hall with a tough outfit. Saturday night they tied Rochester Mechanics Insti- tute, a team which won a two-point decision from the Saxons earlier this year. They were beaten by Syracuse University in a close match, pre- viously.
"Frenchy" LeBlanc, a winner in three of his four bouts this year will not be in action Saturday owing to an ankle injury. Pete Keenan will prob- ably move up from the Jay Vee squal to take his place.
To replace Stan Gutheinz, scho- lastically ineligible, Coach Yunevich plans to move Royce Luce up to the 145 pound class, and fill Luce's place with Jack Tuttle.
The loss of LeBlanc will be felt against St. Lawrence with Cooper of the Saints wrestling in the 128 pound slot as yet undefeated in college com- petition.
Summary of the Buffalo match:
121 pounds—Lemburg (A) deeisioneil Spidaro (B). Points, 8-0.
128 pounds—LeBlanc (A) pinned Schmidt (B). Time, 7:10.

Bison Fencers Click, 10-8, Against Saxons
Forty-five was a lucky number for Alfred's freshman eagers last week, proving to be the right combination for a duo of vic- tories over their brethren from Buffalo and the Jamestown Ex- tension.
It was Ludie Johnston all the way in the Buffalo set-to, as the lanky yearling popped a total of 25 points in the 45-28 victory, with Captain Andy Kulakowich co-starring as field general par excellence.
The entire squad saw plenty of action against the hapless Extension team and hardly worked up a sweat in climbing all over the Jamestowners by a 45-10 count. Johnny Busch was high man with 12 points.
Next game for the freshmen will be with Rochester Business Institute at Rochester tomorrow in the second of a home-and-home series. RBI was capsized earlier in the year by the freshman at Alfred.

Learn About College Life in Campus Visit
Fifty-four high school seniors from 13 vicinity schools were guests of Al- fred University, Wednesday, for a
"Guest Day'' program.
The students, accompanied by their respective principals, saw various phases of campus life, so that they might better understand college life and learn more about Alfred Univer- sity in particular.
Present plans call for a similar day for high school senior girls some- time this spring:.
Track Squad Points for IC4A Meet
First intercollegiate competi- tion of the year for Saxon track- men comes on March 1, at the an- nual IC4-A meet at Madison Square Garden, New York City.
Approximately ten men will make u p ' t h e squad taking the trip to com- pete in the fastest company of the season.
Lost to the squad this year is col- lege high-jump record holder Walter (Bo) Johnson. His scholastic ineligi- bility is a serious blow to the team.
Names of the IC4-A contingent will be announced next week. Mearl (Mike) Greene will be unable to make the trip because of wrestling assign- ments, and Elton (Willie) Gamble will not join the squad until t h e com- pletion of cage schedule.
Freshman speed merchants will work out for the first time this week in preparation for their spring com petition.

Cage Act
A brother act in sports is nothing new—but the angle at Al- fred is unusual to say the least.
Last week a kid named Johnny
"Trigilio forged into the scoring lead in the Genesee-Orleans high
school basketball loop, and this week his big brother, Alfred's own Frank (Pike) Trigilio took over high scoring honors for the Saxon varsity.
Pike has played 12 games and leads the squad with 57 floor baskets and 25 foul conversions for a total of 139 points. Nearest man to him is Walter (Bo) John- son with 87 markers.
i High man for the Alfred year- ling outfit is lanky Ludie Johnston with 81 buckets and 14 foul shots for a total of 168 markers.

Aggies Swarm Over Extension In 51-19 Win
Second Alfred team within a week to take the measure of the Jamestown Extension cagers was the Ag School five, paced by diminuitive Tommy Allan and Fritz Seegert.
Allan marked up five biuckets and two fouls for a 12 total, and Seegert was on his heels with another five goals for ten points in the 51-19 rout.
The game brought the Aggie per- centage to .333 with two wins in six starts. Two games' are on tap this I week, the first a return encounter I with Jamestown here tonight, and the second at Canton with the Canton Aggies on Saturday.

An unfortunate misunderstand- ing in correspondence between Milt Vainder, Alfred's fencing captain, and University of Buf- falo's captain, Charlie Farrar, lost tlie Saxon foilsmen their second match of the year just when it seemed to be in the bag.
The Purple and Gold fencers made their premier home appearance of the year Wednesday at the gym and de- feated the Bison team, 5-4, in the foils bouts.
Vainder and team were under the impression that the match was over then, but upon learning that the Buffalo outfit had brought its saber team along, agreed to include saber bouts in the match despite a sad lack of experience with sabers.
These bouts went to Buffalo, 6-4, giving them a 10-8 edge for the day.
Irv Sapperstein was the Alfred stand- out of the day, winning all three of his foils bouts.
Next match for the fencers will be with Syracuse University at Syracuse on February 22. A match has been scheduled for March 29 with Renssa- laer Polytechnic Institute at Troy.

, Two superlatives in basketball were last week marked up by Al- I t'red's Purple and Gold eagers as
they dropped the most disappoint- ing game of the year to a weaker Buffalo team on Wednesday, and knocked off Cortland Normal two nights later in the longest cage contest'ever played at the gym, a 55 minute marathon.
With their season's record stand- ing at five won and seven lost, the Saxons are geared to even things up ] on their road trip this week-end with,
Clarkson and St. Lawrence.
Pike Leads Scoring
In the absence of Walter (Bo) Johnson, ^eclared scholastically in- eligible last week, it was Frank (Pike) Trigilio who led the Minnick- men in losing and winning. Trigilio scored 16 points against Buffalo and 18 against Cortland. It was the old story of the irresistible force meeting the immovable object, with neither willing to give ground. •
The game's end showed the fives knotted at 30-30, thanks to a last second foul shot by Alfred center
"Chief" Cohen. In the first overtime chukker high-scorer Pike Trigilio and Toady Rhodes each came through with a bucket to put t h e Saxons out in front 34-30.
Humphrey Nets Clinchers Hawthorne of the visitors netted a one-hander with two minutes to go, and with but fifteen seconds left, Joe Dietz of Cortland outjumped his man at the foul line and tapped the leather through the, net to tie it up.
Opening the second five-minute over- time frame Dietz sank two fouls and laid one up to shove the Teachers out in front, 38-34. The cause looked hopeless for the Saxons until Pike Trigilio again came through with a half-minute remaining with a beauti- ful pivot shot, «nd followed it with the clock at five seconds by a lay-up again deadlocking the outfits.
In the final stanza the scoring was all Alfred's. Bob Humphrey was t h e fair-haired boy as he converted a foul and netted a long looper to end t h e game, 41-38, in favor of the Minnick- men..
Bulls Close Fast
The Buffalo contest was a different story. Trailing by eight points, 30-22, as the game entered the final minutes, the Saxons rallied behind Bob Jolley and Pike Trigilio to knot the count Continued on page 4
