Alfred Outing Club Plans To Have 'Winter Fantasy 9 Despite Dubious Weather
Registrar Lists Time Schedule For Registering
All University students are required to register at the Registrar's office for the second semester. Freshman, special and graduate students in the Ceramics and Crafts Schools must reg- ister today. Sophomores in any Uni- versity school register Wednesday and Thursday, Jan. 12 and 13 and juniors and seniors register Friday, Monday and Tuesday, Jan. 14, 17 and 18. Fail- ure to register on the proper day or failure to have a bill accepted by the Treasurer before Jan. 21 will cause a charge of $5.00 for late registration.
Further details on registration may be obtained from the notice which was mailed to all students from the Treasurer's office.
In commenting upon the registration process, E. K. Lebohner, University treasurer, said that he hoped all stu- dents would register on time. "Late registration is a lot of trouble to us,"
he pointed out, "and we would much sooner have the students register on time and put their $5.00 to their own use." Lebohner said that the earlier registration date ought to get students to settle their bills on time, since they would not be inclined to put it off until alter they return from their mid-term vacations. Last year over a hundred students registered late be- cause they did not get back from the vacations in time to pay their bills.

Herricks Give A. U. $31,200 In Three Gifts
Alfred University has received three gifts totaling $31,200.0'0 from Mr. and Mrs. John P. Herrick of Olean, it was announced today by Pres. M. Ellis Drake.

In addition, Mr. Herrick has given
$1200.00 for immediate use in purchas- ing books. Both gifts supplement earlier donations in 1948 of $2100 for library purposes.
Mrs. Herrick has donated $5,000 to the University for repairs and major improvements to The Castle, a coop- erative women's dormitory. Remodel- ing of the structure, which houses 19 girls, will get under way as soon as possible, Dr. Drake said.
Mr. Herrick has been a member of the University's Board of Trustees since 1931 and was granted an honor- ary degree of doctor of laws from Al- fred in 1945. He is a member of the Olean and Los Angeles Chambers of Commerce, and several other profes- sional and civic organizations.

Rev. Charles Boddie Speaks Before RFA On Racial Problems
"A Tale of Two Cities" was the topic of Rev. Charles1 Boddie as he addressed the RFA Forum in Social Hall Sun- day.
Concluding his two-day visit to Al- fred, Rev. Boddie spoke concerning his experiences with res-peot to race relations in two southern towns.
"With our democratic endowment combined with a Christian ethos," he said, "we can do the job of purifying human relations and we must do it."
Rev. Boddie affirmed his faith in a successful solution of our interna- tional difficulties but he added, "We must learn to get along racially in the interest of survival and because of the enigma of Russia."
"To combat race prejudice, expose yourself to the experience of fellow- ship with members of other racial groups. Through this association, in- telligent good-will becomes a reality,"
Rev. Boddie said.

Thirty-Eight Dollar \ Telephone Coin Box Stolen From Bartlett
A pay telephone coin box valued' at
$38 was taken Friday evening from the first floor of Bartlett, presumably while the occupants of the dormitory were at dinner. This was the third burglary to occur in Alfred in the past month. Previously $50 had been taken from a room in the Saxon Heights barracks and $25 had been removed from a wallet of a Kappa Delta mem- ber.
Chief Shampine was unable to offer any clues to the identity of the thief when contacted Sunday. He said that he does not suspect students but
"whoever took the box was familiar with the building and knew an oppor- tune time to take the box."
Telephone officials are waiting for a report from Syracuse to determine the exact amount of money that was in1 the box. Manager William Evans estimated that the actual contents amounted to less than three dollars.
Chief Shampine reiterated his warn- ing to students and fraternity houses to "keep your doors locked."
Notice
Sodalitas Latina will meet at 7:15 p.m. tomorrow at the home of Dr. and Mrs. G. S. Nease.
Blue Key Cuts Discrimination From Charter
The clause in the national Blue Key charter providing for racial discrimin- ation was removed by a 59-4 vote at the bi-annual convention of the honor- ary fraternity Dec. 28.-29 in Chicago The announcement was made locally by Jerry Smith '50, president, who said Joseph H. Holmstrom '50 was the chapter's delegate to the convention.
Russell Langworthy '49 was alternate.
Smith said the only other significant change was the increase iu the initia- tion fee from $6 to $8 to cover in- creased costs and to provide for a more extensive evpansion program.
The fraternity now has 78 chapters throughout the United States.
The local chapter announced Dec.
7 that they were anxious for the con- stitutional provision limiting member- ship to men of the Caucasian race on the grounds that "it is incongruous with the aims of a service fraternity."
A letter was sent to all chapters at that time asking that consideration be given to removal of the restriction.
Holmstrom reported that not only was the convention heavily in favor of removing the clause, but also a dele- gate from a Southern chapter present- ed the resolution favoring the move.
ResignationOfUnion Manager Announced
Paul Baker, Union Board president, announced the resignation of Mrs.
Wilda Tufaro as manager of the Cam pus Union. Mrs. Blanche Travis, is temporarily managing the Union until a new manager is chosen.
Mrs. Tufaro's resignation stated that she felt "physically incapable of man- aging the Union because of the strain involved in this type of work." Mrs.
Tufaro added that she thought she hadn't had enough experience in this particpuar type of work. Under Mrs.
Tufaro's management, the Union had been steadily losing money. For ex- ample, the financial report released by Baker indicated a deficit of $889.28 for the month of November and
$971.98 for December.
"We have received several applica- tions for the position of manager;"
Baker reported. "At present they are still being considered. If possible we would like to get a college man to handle the job."

Campus Groups
There is some confusion on campus as to where the authority of the administration extends and how much right the students have to discuss, and decide on, a certain question. We feel that the free- dom of discussion is open to everyone, and the problem begins when we try to figure out which rights and duties belong to the students, and which to the administration.
In the matter of finances, for example, is it up to the Senate to buy a time clock for the gym, or should the administration pay for it?
But money matters are not the only problem. In the matter of gov- erning student activities, should there not be a definite plan stating which group hastwhat autftority, to prevent conflict?
Perhaps the Senate could make its position on campus clear in relation to the other student groups and to the administration, and later on other groups could follow suit. «
The organization chart the Student Affairs Committee is planning might clear up quite a few points. It should show the relationship among student groups, and between each of these groups and the faculty, including the administration. Students should have a clear picture of campus activities.

Question: What suggestions do you have for improving the assembly programs?
Lynwood Byers '52—They ought to leave the lights on so the girls can continue their knitting during the as- sembly.
Arnold Kormart '51—Change the seating arrangements so as to have alternate boys and girls and show movies or something like that.
Mildred Netzke '52—Soft seats for soundly sleeping students.
Donald O. Brunswick '52—Quit hav- ing speakers.
Joseph Bowden '50—What do I care, I don't go to assembly any more.
K.P. Workers—Have the assemblies end on time so those students who work on K.P. duty can get to work on time.
Jean McGraw '52—I think the as-
sembies would be more interesting if there were more student participation.
Richard Homer '52—The Assembly Planning Program Committee has been doing a very good job with the money they have been allotted, but I think the general quality of the as- semblies could be improved with an increase in the assembly budget.
Martin Chodos '52—1 think the As- semblies have been pretty much all right.
Donald Summerhayes AT—I think there is one too many each week.
Richard Palmer CS—They should be discontinued so I can spend more time with my erstwhile alcoholic- guzzling companions.

Dean Bond's Poetry Is Published Here
A group of poems, some written dur- ing his college days nearly 50 years ago, has been published privately at Alfred by Dean Ahva J. C. Bond of the School of Theology.
The volume includes 12 poems pub- lished as a Christmas card in 19'32, a college song written at the request of the president of Salem College, W. Va., and "Sunset," the only poem for which Dean Bond has even been paid.
One of the outstanding pieces is a tribute to the late Dr. Arthur E. Main, who preceded1 Rev. Bond as dean of the School of Theology. Called "He Lives," the poem was written the night Dean Bond learned of Dr. Main's death.
Of his poetry, Dean Bond comments,
"In the main the poems are the result of attempts to express my emotions in a way to bring satisfaction to my- self. I hope they may strengthen the Christian faith of some who read them and that, in this way, these children of my mind and heart may extend my ministry as a servant Jesus Christ."

Letters To The Editor—
Dear Editor
Last Tuesday, the Student Senate listed among its appropriations $15 to the "Fine Arts Club." Although neither the purposes nor the reasons for the existence of such an organiza- tion were discussed at any previous meeting of the Senate, the Club was granted an appropriation to function for the coming year. Lest there be any misunderstanding, the "Fine Arts Club" is a non-functioning organiza- tion. It has never held a meeting and it is never going to hold one.
At the first meeting of the Senate after the Thanksgiving vacation, a small group submitted a constitution to the Senate. On Nov. 30, posters were placed in prominent places about the campus announcing "Fine Arts Club Meeting, 7:30" —but without mentioning where this meeting was to be held. Despite the "advertizing"
and the questionable constitution, neither the Student Senate nor the student body bothered to investigate the "activities" of the Fine Arts Club.
Too often the members of the Sen- ate do not give careful consideration to the way the money belonging to the students is spent. Anyone who has seen the Senate in operation real- izes the oftentimes mechanical way in which matters are voted through the Senate.
What can be done about this situa- tion? In the first place it is about time the student body comes to real- ize the potential power and impor- tance of the Student Senate. So often the position of Senate representative is "pushed off" on some unenlightened soul who hapened to be present at a house meeting. The result la that the Senate is not half as effective as it could be.
Obviously there are people in the Senate who have the ability to discuss and act intelligently on the proposals brought to the floor. As a minority group, however, they are obliged' to carry the bulk of work.
A more active interest on the part of all the Senators would allow the work to be more evenly distributed and hence more thoroughly done. There- fore, we would like to recommend that fraternities and sororities, knowing the capabilities of their individual members, take it upqn themselves to send their best qualified men and wo- men to the Senate.
We should also like to suggest that prospective Senators be required to attend1 a class teaching parliamentary law and that a special committee be appointed to investigate the proposed constitutions of all new clubs. This committee should be required to con- tact the officers of the clubs who would outline a planned program for the year.
It is hoped that the Student Senate will appoint a committee, not neces- sarily members of the Senate, to in- vestigate this situation further and to make recommendations for the ben- efit of all concerned.

Alumnus Rewarded By Army In Korea
An Alfred alumnus now serving with the American Red Cross in Korea recently waa commended for /"unusual initiative, unselfish and untiring efforts" in rendering assistance at the scene of a train accident near Naipon last September in which 23 American lives were lost. He is Assistant Field Director Lee Hill '33.
Mr. Hill who ihas been stationed in Korea for two years giving Red Cross coverage to itinerant army bases, was on the southbound train when the accident occurred. He was uninjured.
Organization Chart Proposed By SAC
The formation of an organizational chart giving a visual representation of government on campus was pro- posed at the SAC meeting, Wednesday.
This chart would help the students understand the origins of policy on campus. For example, the Student Senate and its relationship to other organizations would be outlined.
Also proposed was a more extensive weekly calendar to be published in the Fiat. This featurej it was pointed out, would provide the best means of in- forming students of activities on cam pus.
Memo
FROM: JERRYSMITH
We were planning to write a Pear- son-like denunciation this week of the Student Affairs Committee and the faculty committee appointed by the SAC which picked the 11 seniors for Who's Who in American Colleges and Universities.
Even though our wrath has been, tempered, we think there is consider- able evidence to show that several names'on the Who's Who list do not belong there any more than Lil Abner's. We hold no grudge against those individuals, it was not of their doing. Moreover it seems evident that the faculty committee didn't have pro- per information at hand to make the selection. But, if our reportorial back were not already bowed by the threat of January finals, we would prove that there are several students who deserve the honor more.
Many of those named richly deserve the honor, to be sure. The others we wish had been named probably would be embarrassed if we listed them, so we shall silently tip our hat when we pass you on the street. Being desig- nated by Who's Who won't get any position unless you have the goods to offer anyway.
However, if there is to be a singling out of those students who have con- tributed the most to the campus dur- ing their college career, then it should be a just and fair list, truly represen- tative of the cream of the campus.
This one certainly is not.
— • —
Mind you, we are condemning nobody this year. The SAC wisely passed the buck to an unidentified faculty committee along with a list of recommendations. Whether this list was compiled at random without con- sideration for every qualified student on campus, we do not know. There are plenty of places where the system
—if there was one—could have slipped this year, although SAC is supposed to be composed of the campus leaders, who should have learned to avoid such, pitfalls.
Our recommendation is this: (1) SAC should have nothing to do with the list. We always have understood that the SAC was an unofficial coun- seling body in the first place and in the second its very nature makes the task an embarrassing one. (2) Let the Student Senate or the Fiat run a poll for a week similar to TIME Mag- azine's Man of the Year poll, any stu- dent on campus may submit names of deserving seniors to the poll. (3) The persons who are named will be checked for contributions to the cam- pus by a group whose task will be merely clerical. (4) The names and the pedigrees will then be submitted to an impartial faculty committee for selection of the final 10 or 11 names.
If Who's Who is to be an honor, let us make it a real one. It can and should be. But as far as we are con- cerned with the 1948 list, anyone who brags to us tihat he was named to Who's Who will be answered "So What?"
The final report on the Operationa Alfred campaign is that $22 was con- tributed for the University employee whose purse was stolen. Among the late contributors was a former student now in Lawrence, Kan., and in the final analysis, we feel we should be genuinely pleased with the response.
We turned the money over to Chief Shampine and we hope Christmas for the Mrs. was a little better as a result of your thoughtfulness.
We suspect Lou Little is pretty dis- gusted with John McKenna, a Villan- ova College football coach, by now.
One of our correspondents tells the story of which includes Alfred's own John McKenna, a Bellerose, L. I.
freshman, who received a letter ad- dressed to John McKenna, Villanova College, Alfred, N. Y. Lou Little was asking, for the third time, that John fill out a form concerning football rules. He was pretty burned up be- cause the first two letters had gone unanswered.

Air Force To Explain Cadet Program Here
The opportunity for pilot training and a career as an officer with the United States Air Force which is open to qualified college men will be explained to Alfred men on Jan. 17 and 18 by a special Air Force Aviation Cadet Team, Lt. Col. Robert E. Guay, First Air Force Aviation Cadet Pro- curement Officer, said today.
Married or single men, 20 to 26%
years old, and physically fit, with two or more years of college, will have the opportunity to provisionally qual- ify for the flight training immediately when the traveling Aviation Cadet, team meets here, Lt. Col. Guay said.
The team is headed by Capt. Maurice O. Searle and is one of several which is visiting colleges throughout the country.
Men who volunteer and are accepted for pilot training with the Air Force will receive their basic flight training In Texas, Lt. Col. Guay said. Success- ful Cadets will be given their pilots' wings and commissions as 2nd Lieu- tenants in the Air Force Reserve after only 12 months of training. They will go on active duty immediately upon graduation and can earn pay and al- lowances in excess of $4000, a year.
Aviation Cadet classes begin three times a year . . . on March 1, July 1, and October 15, and the top men in each class receive direct commissions in the regular Air Force. All grad- uates have the opportunity to apply for regular commissions during their active duty tours.
Only men who meet the high Air Force standards will be accepted, Lt.
Col, Guay pointed out, because of the necessarily high level of intelligence and' physical fitness required to oper- ate modern military aircraft. On Jan.
17 and 18 the Aviation Cadet team will be prepared to administer all prelim- inary examinations to flight-training applicants. Those who meet the re-
quirements at that time need only take the final physical examination and complete an interview later be- fore being finally accepted and as- signed to a class.
Basic flight training courses are given at Randolph Air Force Base, San Angelo, Texas; Goodfellow Air Force Base, San Angelo, Texas; Per- rin Air Force Base, Sherman, Texas;
and Waco Air Force Base, Waco, Texas. Basic training is given in single-engine T-6 Texans. Advanced pilot training phases are given at two locations. . . single-engine in F-51 Mustangs and F-80 Shooting Stars at AVilliams Air Force Base, Chandler, Arizona; and multiple-engine training in B-25 Mitehels at Barbsdale Air Force Base, Shreveport, Louisiana.
Keramos Sponsors Educational Movies In Ceramic College
A series of industrial and visual aid movies is being shown at the Ceramic College during the month of January.
The first series consists of, indus- trial movies brought to the college under the sponsorship of the local chapter of Keramos, the national hon- orary ceramic fraternity. The follow- ing movies have been shown this month:
"A Trip through the A. P. Greene Firebrick Company," showing proces- ses in the manufacture of bricks; two movies from the Corning Glass Works showing the manufacture and use of glass in science; a movie from the General Electric Company entitled
"Exploring With X-Rays."
The presentation of industrial films will continue throughout the year, ac- cording to James Snow, president of Keramos.
In addition to these, a movie was presented by the Industrial Ceramic Design Department showing the devel- opment of letters from early Roman times through the Renaissance to modern letter forms.
Commenting on the program Dean John McMahon sstated:
"The present program is very much in line with the tendency toward the general adoption of methods of visual education. The careful selection which is being made is presenting to the students pictures of ceramics at work.
It is offering all students an oppor- tunity of learning what is involved in ceramics.
The staff fsj particularly pleased that the students are showing such keen interest in this altogether worth- while program."

Appropriation Issue Settled For Senate By Lack Of Funds
The matter of appropriating funds was finally settled at the Senate meet- ing Tuesday, leaving a balance of
$5.36 in the Senate Treasury.
The situation is not as dangerous t.« it would first appear according to treasurer Daniel Kane '49, since the loan of $70 given the Community Chest for organizational purposes will be repaid. In addition, next month, the Senate will receive the budget for the second semester.
Appropriations made at the last meeting included $75 for cheerleaders' uniforms.
At the Dec. 14 meeting, William Bayuk '50 reported that voting mach- ines will be available for use in the Senate elections this Spring. He said it was hoped that the use of machines would encourage more active partici- pation on the part of the students in the coming elections.
At the same meeting, Bayuk was appointed Senate parliamentarian. The new position was exercised but a few minutes later when' a tie vote occurred concerning the raising of the Foot- light Club appropriation from the pre- viously decided $75 to $150. The tie was broken by the negative vote of President Jack Jones.
David Pixley '52 was elected Senate representative to the MAGB at day's meeting.
Fiat Lux Given ExcellentRating For f 48 Issues
The Fiat Lux was rated "excellent"
for the second semester of last year by the Associated Collegiate Press.
This was the second consecutive ex- cellent rating received by the Fiat Lux, both received under the editor- ship of Roxanne Robarts '48.
Weak spots in the Fiat continue to revolve around technical difficulties such as headline writing and make up.
The ACP also saw room for improve- ment in coverage and display of sports material, again a technical aspect. The only sharp criticism of content was directed toward the quality and var- iety of features.
The coverage, originality and organ- ization of the Fiat were commended by the ACP. In commenting on the paper in general, the ACP expressed the belief that the paper is too con- servative in typography. Two-column heads and bigger headlines were sug- gested as tihe remedy. To reporters the ACP had the following advice.
"Keep your lead paragraphs short and don't go into too much detail on past events."

Heights To Conduct Fire Drills Tonight
A fire drill will be held this evening between 8:00 and 9:00 p.m. in the Saxon Heights Barracks according to Dean of Men Edward L. Hawthorne.
Following the drill there will be a short meeting in each of the barracks in which Dean Hawthorne will partici- pate. At "these meetings Dean Haw- thorne hopes to iron out any difficul- ties which may have presented them- selves to the students during the drill.
"Next week we will hold a second drill, but this one will be unannounced.
Dean Hawthorne said. "After that we will hold no more for the rest of the year, lest the students come to regard them as a nuisance and ignore them."
The fire drills are partly the result of a survey of the college living quar- ters taken by Fire Chief William Evans. Chief Evans found that sev- eral of the housea had taken no def- inite measures toward the prevention of another disaster such as the one which struck the sorority house in Cortlani last month. The Chief made

O'Donnell, McNamara Lead In Goals To Best Buffalo 54 To 45
The Saxons got back into the win column following their defeat by Brockport with a pre-Christmas victory, 41-32 over Hobart Col- lege and last Saturday night's 54-45 upset over the University of Buffalo Bulls. The record now stands at three wins and one loss.
THE FIAT LUX, ALFRED, NEW YORK
In the Hobart game, Bill Argentieri, Gene Kassell and Bucky O'Donnell sparked the victory on defense and Paul Derzanovitch and Dick McNam- ara led the scoring with, the latter scoring a pace-setting ten points.
Don Garrison opened scoring in the Buffalo game with a one-hand pushup shot. Two more field goals followed in the opening minutes to give Alfred a lead that never was relinquished.
Buffalo threatened to tie up the game at the end of "the first half and again in the middle of the second per- iod by closing the Saxons lead to six points.
Derzanovitch, who had recovered trom a knee injury to start the game,
•was put out of play when ihe sprained his ankle eight minutes after the game began.
Coach Jay McWilliams credited the victory to a greatly improved zone defense and to excellent control of the backboards. Hannon, who replaced Derzanovitch, contributed greatly to the backboard work. Six of the first
«ight field goal attempts were success- ful and that generally indicates the game as a whole. All but four of the 16 foul attempts made during the game were successful as well.

Yesterday we were talking with Coach Yunevich about the men on his squad who wrestled Saturday evening.
Wihen we were through, we had a pretty good idea of Yunevich's rating of these men. We thought you might be interested in the conclusions.
The JMo. 1 man on the squad is Art DeVanzo or Dale Thompson. It could be either, and we're not sure ourselves so we'll leave it that way. In the third spot we would put Paul Keisow who wrestles at 1&5 lbs. He's really improved according to Yunevich. In the fourth and fifth positions would be John Alexander and Stan Koslowski in that order. After that) come Rodger Jones and Juan Jova, respectively.
These last two boys are short on ex- perience.
• • •
Coach Yunevich asked us to men- tion that he needed a 121 lb. wrestler badly. This year instead of finding the 'best man for a certain weight class the situation is such that he'll use any man he can find. This has come about because of the new ruling that freshmen in schools over 2000 cannot wrestle in varsity intercolleg- iate circles. Yunevich waa counting on Jack Wilson to take good care of this spot for him, but Wilson, who is a freshman, will have to wrestle for the frosh squad until next year.
Have you ever had to strain your eyes during the second half of a bas- ketball game, because of the smoke, to see the action taking place? We have.
Besides being a danger to the floor, smoke ihurts the players' eyes. Direc- tor McLane decided Wednesday eve- ning would be a good time to initiate the practice of absolutely no smoking at any time in the gym.
He emphasized that he wasn't going to do any policing, or have anyone else do any. "I'll leave it up to- the spectators," he said. "If they have any courtesy and common sense they will stop smoking in the gym. We told Director McLane that whether we had any common sense and courtesy or not we would certainly back him up, because we don't smoke.
* * »
Saturday evening there was consid- erable booing during a match in which a Buffalo wrestler was crawling for the edge of the mat. It was also equally obvious that many Alfred men were doing 'the same thing, but the fans didn't seem to realize this.
Wrestling is- one of the most exert- ing sports in collegiate circles, and one can hardly blame a wrestler for trying to rest a few seconds, if he can.
Crawling for the edge of the mat is a legitimate and recognized defensive gesture, so let's not boo it, but merely take it for granted.
All Men Urged To Attend First A. U. Track Meeting
All men interested in varsity or freshmen track are urged by Director James A. McLane to at- tend a meeting this afternoon at 5 p.m. in the Men's Gym. Various items will be discussed including the serious bleacher problem.
The bleachers are needed for the basketball games, but have to be removed after every game so that the tracksters can work out.
The bleachers on either side of the gym are of no worry because they can easily be raised, but the ones at the far end of the gym have created a serious problem.
There is a lack of staff, money, and time to accomplish this with the ease it should and could be . accomplished.

Strong Buffalo Matmen Outpin Saxons 26 To 6
The green Alfred University mat- men were overpowered by a strong, experienced University of Buffalo squad 26-6, Saturday evening at the Men's Gym.
This defeat demonstrated the Sax- ons' inexperience which will, in Coach Alex Yunevich's words, "continue to hamper us throughout the remainder of the season".
There was no doubt in the minds of the largest audience since before the war which team was superior as the Buffalo squad won four matches, three of which were pins, before Alfred could cop a decision.
The 121 lb. class was forfeited to Buffalo as Alfred did not have a man in that weight class. In the 128 lb.
match Bill Stewart pinned Juan Jova in 2:45 seconds of the second period, to give Buffalo a 10-0 lead.
In the 135 lb. class Salvatore Licata won a decision over Stan Koslowski 7-1, which gave Buffalo three more points. Licata and lioslowski were buddies in the Navy, and demonstrated their friendship throughout the con- test. The 145 lb. class was won by Ken Smyth of Buffalo when he pinned Rodger Jones. At the midway mark, the score was Buffalo 18, Alfred 0.
Alfred's Art DeVanzo finally broke the ice 'for the home team as he won a 7-1 decision over Bernard Caesa, to give the Purple and Gold their first three points. Buffalo's Fritz Price then nipped Paul Keisow in a decision.
Dale Thompson won an easy match over Buffalo's Gene O'Donnell by a 7-3
Maples, Alfs, Klan, Hickories, Crosses Lead In Basketball
With four weeks of the intramural basketball season completed, two teams in the American League and three in the National remain undefeat- ed.
Klan Alpine in the American League has won four as against no losses and holds decisions over such strong clubs as Delta Sig, 30-27 and Theta Gamma, 32-31. Maple City, the other unbeaten contender, has played only three games, their closest a 25-24 decision over Delta Sig. Saturday, they also nosed out powerful Kappa Delta, 29-26.
In the National League, the Red Alfs loom as the team to beat, having won all their four games. Last week they whipped Cross Country, 36-19.
The Crosses have also won four games, outscoring A.S.R.E. 22-17 in their one game last week. The Hick- ories, the third team with a perfect record in this league, have played only three games, their latest being a 45-19 victory over A.S.R.E.
The final score Monday night was 24) in the game between Cross Country and the Dairy Science Club, the first forfeit of the season.

Frosh basketeers clash with the Gene- see Junior College at 6:45 tomorrow evening as a preliminary to the main event.
Alfred has not done well against Clarkson in the past and has had to settle for 11 wins against 15 defeats.
The greatest victory over Clarkson was 49-11 in the 1929-30 season, and the worst defeat was in 1921-22 season when the Saxons lost 54-9. This year Alfred will be a slight favorite, hut the game easily can go the other way.
In the Hamilton contest the Purple and Gold will be the underdog as a vastly improved1 Hamilton squad is eager to make up for the drubbing they received last year at Alfred. The Saxons have won seven and lost five against Hamilton with the record vic- tory taking place last year when they

overpowered the Hamilton squad, 73- 52. Alfred's worst defeat came in the 1932-1933 clash with the records show- ing 57-35 to be the final score.
The Alfred matmen definitely will be the underdog when they face the Lockhaven State Teachers at Lock- haven Saturday. Coach Yunevich haa predicted that "it will be a very tough match." The last time the two equada met was in 1947, and Alfred lost 26-10.
Yunevich mentioned that tihe Saxons would again have to forfeit the 121 lb. class because there is no man on the squad for that weight.
