Varsity's Ability To Toss Free Throws Gives Victory Margin Over Allegheny—Stage Pretty Stall In Last Minute—Bonaventure Game Went To An Extra After Lead Sea-Saws Back and Forth During Last Half

Varsity eagers looked with a certain amount of pride on their accomplishments of last week. Winning 24-22 over Allegheny Col- lege, Thursday night, the Saxons came back with that fighting form that characterized their playing earlier in the season,, but went down to a 35-30 defeat at the hands of St. Bonaventure College, Saturday night.

Allegheny flashed a spasmotic oflen- sive during the initial half, that for a little while looked as though they were unstopable. The fact that Alfred was

ALUMNI PLAN MEETING HERE AT CINCINNATI CONVENTION;

PRESENT C. F. BINNS MEDAL

Rev. Father Thomas Plass- man Declares Simplicity And Lack of Formal Edu- cation Does Not Impede Appreciation

"Simplicity and the lack of formal education by no means impedes our wonderful gift of appreciation," be- lieves The Very Rev. Father Thomas Plassman, President of St. Bonaven- ture College, who recently addressed members of the Newman Club, Catho- lic students' organization and others of Alfred University's student body, on the subject, "The Advantages of a Liberal Education."

"Liberal Education," he said, "Orig- inally mount the training of the free born citizen. It has the tendency to raise us socially and intellectually, and to be effective college education must be liberal. It should be the purpose of every liberal arts student to look forward to our future life.

"In medieval times, theology was the queen of the sciences," said Father Plassman, "And because of the need of the theologians to know of general things, the natural sciences were de- veloped and incorporated into toe college curricula.

"We must look downward to nature and the work of God; upward for divine guidance, and above all look backwards," warned the speaker.

"Have reverance for the past. It can teach all something. We must get back to real and genuine philos- ' ophy.

I "Should modern science stop us

; from using our intellect? Our century

! is not the leader in all things. Our I language is surpassed by that of the ancient Greeks;medieval German liter- ature is greater than ours; our arclri- ': teoture is merely imitative. In brief j the masters of the past cannot be

INCLUDING SIX BIG EVENTS;

ELECT EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE

Two Day Festival Will Be Held March 14 and 15—Special Assembly and Tea Dance Wednesday With Short Classes and Half Holiday—Formal Ball To Be Held Friday Night—Will Elect Queen In Assembly

With the program fast nearing completion and enthusiasm among the students already at a high pitch, confidence was expressed by members of the executive committee today, that the second annual Sa. Patrick Festival on Wednesday and Thursday, March 14 and 15, would equal and perhaps surpass that, of last year.

Alumni of the Ceramic College are looking forward to a meeting here in the near future, it was decided among some 40 Alfred alumni, faculty and students at the annual convention of the American Ceramic Society in Cin- cinnati recently. Six facility members and 13 students attended.

A feature of the convention was the presentation of the Charles Fergus Binns medal for outstanding achieve- ment in the ceramic field. Frederick Carder of the Corning Glass Works received the award It was presented by Dean M. E. Holmes in behalf of Dr. Binns, who was unable to attend the confab because of illness. Dr.

Hostetter of Corning, president of the Society, also lauded the Ceramic Col- lege in his annual address.

One of the most enjoyable events was the Alumni dinner at which some forty Alfredians were present, including students, faculty and a num- ber of alumni. It was agreed that there should be held in Alfred a meeting of the alumni in the near future to develop a program of work for the

coming year in the interests of all concerned.

LATIN CLUB TO PRESENT

FREE MOVIES

Ancient Italy and Greece will come to life again tomorrow night at S o'clock in Kenyon Memorial Hall, when two motion pictures depicting those great civilizations will be shown.

An invitation has been extended to any members of the student body who wish to attend. There will be no ad- mission.

The program is sponsored by the Latin Club. Dr. Nease is faculty advisor to the organization. It is expected that he will be present at the program, to explain various phases of the movies.

It is said that the program not only is an educational one, but als intense-' ly interesting. Only a limited num- ber can be accommodated, however, and the policy "first come, first served"

will be observed regarding seating- arrangements.

Six major events already have been j arranged for the two day festival. On

| the initial day, only two short classes j will be held in the morning, with t h e rest of the day being devoted to the inauguration of the program. The ob- jective of the festival is primarilly

one of publicizing Alfred University.

More than 700 out-of-town visitors attended last year's festival, principally the open house, which as of last year, will tie held from 7 to 9 o'clock on the initial nigiht. The committee is confident of a much larger attendance of out-of-town persons this year.

Outstanding to students' interests will be St. Pat's Parade on Thursday morning and the tea dance in the afternoon. The Faotlight Club play,

"Clean-Up" in the afternoon and the climax the formal ball that night con- stitute the major events on Friday.

All students, however, are urged to attend the Open House, Thursday nigiht, and assist in guiding visitors through the Ceramic College.

The parade, followed by the unique assembly, promises by far to be bigger and better than last year. Much effort is being put on this, especially, to make it so. Much interest has been shown by various groups on the campus regarding floats for the parade, with as many as 15 floats already promised.

St. Pat Elected

St. Pat already has been elected from among the Senior engineers. His identity will be kept secret until the j day he parades before the student '. body: His Queen will be chosen by student vote, probably in assembly, i Thursday. She will be coronated at

| the formal ball.

As yet, the hours for the formal ball have not been settled. In any event, however, there will be five hours of dancing alotted. Several nationally-famous bands are under con- j sideration. including Sleepy Hall, Tal Henry, Mickey Kay, and Julian Wsod- worth.

Whitney Kuenn is president of the executive board in charge. He is being assisted on the board by Miss Ruth Whitford, secretary-treasurer;

William Butler, student-secretary and Crawford Hallett, student treasurer.

^ LET'S GO, ALFRED!

The greatest event in Alfred University social circles is just around the corner, namely, The Second Annual St. Patrick Festival.

Here, students, is an institution worth preserving. Last year it brought, hundreds of visitors to the campus we are justly proud of, to say nothing of the fun we all had in making it the big success it was.

Co-operation was the keynote of last year's success and co-opera- tion will be the keynote of a bigger success this year. Valuable ex- perience was left to the executive committee in charge. Yet, that experience will be little or nothing unless the executive committee is backed, supported, bolstered and strengthened by the co-operation

of the student body.

Everyone can co-operate. There are three major ways. The initial one is by your patronage of the various events that hundreds of dollars are being invested in, principally for yoitr entertainment at virtual cost prices. Secondly, by sending the formal invitations, given you by the festival staff, to your friends and finally, by seeing to it that the social group with which you are associated with on the campus, has a float in the prize-competing parade.

CONGRATULATIONS TEAMS!

Congratulations Varsity on your two basketball victories this past week. One was a victory by score; the other a triumph in morale. By far the student body appreciates the latter of the two victories. It proved that Alfred athletes "can take it" and yet come back for more. In arithmatical defeat you were more glorious than in your score victory over Allegheny, reclaiming that morale, which we now feel confident will send you fighting with that true Saxon spirit against Colgate, Thursday night.

And you too, freshmen—the student body is watching your record smashing season with keen interest. Keep it up.

AND THE ATHLETIC DINNER

Comes word from President Edward King of the Student Senate, that the dinner cannot be held. AVe sympathize with "Ed,"' because he did try hard to establish this most worthy precedent. But then, this only serves to illustrate, as previously stated in this column,—

what the lack of co-operation can do. However, plans have been started for the first annual athletic dinner sometime next Spring.

The spirit of Alfred seems to be so j much a part of Miss Shepard's char-

acter that it. is difficult to imagine her belonging somewhere else. However, other schools and other interests claimed her before she came to Alfred University.

She was born in Buffalo, N. Y., and attended Waterloo High School. Then she studied for three years at Ithaca School of Physical Education from which she was graduated in 1928. j

; Miss Shepcjrd enjoyed her work there and exeeHed in it, too. She won the gold medal awarded to a senior for the best work in a competition which included all the activities of the three years.

After graduation, Miss Shepard taught physical education at Pauling High School in Queens county. She is justly proud of the fact that during the first year, her basketball team won

! the county championship. For five j years she was a playground director j in Olean and assistant director of all

Olean's playgrounds in 1931.

This is Miss Shepard's fourth year in Alfred. The first three years she I spent as a student in the university.

| She took the pre-medical course and

| majored in biology. Last June she was graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree. During the summer.

she started work for her Master's degree in physical education at Columbia teacher's college.

Being Alfred's assistant director of physical education gives Miss Shepard daily experience in other people's recreations. When she has time for leisure she's not interested in sports or athletics. She would rather read a good hook or play her violin. Books of travel and books in German are especially interesting to her. !?he hopes to combine her love for travel and for the German language in her last year at Columbia by taking a trip ] abroad to study physical education methods in Germany.

Very few of Miss Shepard's am- bitions are personal. Most of them are for Alfred. She would like to im- prove her department so that every girl could take up the particular phase of physical education which interested her most. A new gymnasium with separate facilities for men and women would help to accomplish this aim.

Miss Shepard sets an example of good sportsmanship and friendliness that her students would like to follow.

Her membership in Phi Delta Pi, the national honorary physical education sorority is proof of her ability in her own line of work.

ALUMNI PLAN MEETING HERE (Continued from page one) standing need. We wish it every pos- sible success."

"On November 9, your President, Dr.

Hostetter, officially represented the American Ceramic Society at the meeting at Alfred at which the New York State Ceramic Industries Association was formed This Association has great possibilities in furthering the technical and commercial interests of the ceramic industries of New York State."

Alfred's Group Largest Another point of interest was the reception given to the college students which was attended by approximately seventy students representing the New York State College of Ceramics at Alfred, Ohio State, University of Illinois, North Carolina, State College, Missouri University, Washington Col-

lege, Rutgers and Georgia Tech. Of these, Alfred had the largest repre- sentation. The chairman of each group introduced his associates and described the local activities of his

; college.

I Students Armstrong, Beeton, Davis, Dewey, Hallett, Henry, Hopper, j Kuenn, Richmond, Ricker, Tolbert,

! Wessels, and Young represented Al- I fred. Several obtained jobs or pro-

spects for jobs.

Ross Purdy was presented with a

| new automobile as a gift from the So- I ciety, replacing the car demolished on his trip to Alfred last November to attend the organization meeting of the Ceramic Industries Association of New York.

TWO MEETINGS PLANNED BY RADIO CLUB MEMBESS

Fanny the Frosh says: She is sc ' disappointed in the log tables she was;

supposed to order. It turned out t<

be a little book.

Alfred's Radio Club will hold two i meetings Wednesday and Thursday nights. The meeting Wednesday night will be held at 8 o'clock in the club rooms, at which time business mat- ters will be cared for. Thursday night's confab is for the purpose of the theory class and will be held at 3 o'clock in the State College of Cer- amics.

Six new members have been taken into the organization, it was an- .lounced today. They are Professor 'lay Polan, Kenneth Roberts, John Prehorne, Stephen Grennell, PoterJ

De Carlo, and James Prutsman. Thisf jrings the membership up to approxi nately 25. All others interested ir.

he organization are urged to attend either meeting, it was said.

ALLEHENY (Continued from page one) then Adessa and Serene opened a free throw duel. Serene of Allegheny was fouled in shooting. He made both iOod. On the next play, Adessa of Ulred was fouled in like-manner and inlike-manner he added both points.

Then after a minute or two, Serene was again fouled. He added another joint. Likewise, Adessa was fouled and as the half ended he chalked up another point for Alfred, making the ledgers read 13-12 in Allegheny's favor.

Shortly after the second half opened Lu'bic was fouled. His successful free throw put Allegheny two points in the lead. Then for five minutes both teams battled on a par, until Young sut in to register a field goal and dead-lock the score at 14 all. This was the signal for an Alfred offensive. Minnick dribbled in to break the deadlock in the Alfredites' favor.

A foul chalked up by Young put the home team in a three point lead, but not for long.

A foul, followed shortly after by a basket when Hibbs cut, again tied the score at 17. A long steve by Young tilirew Alfred into the lead again, but a couple of minutes later it was again deadlocked, when Lubic tallied. Alfred's diminuitive captain broke the tie shortly afterwards with another free throw, but on the next play, Weber of Allegheny had the same opportunity and made good.

Seven minutes remained to play, when Minnick cut in to again throw Alfred into a two point lead. The Allegheny lads matched strides with Alfred though with Webber sinking a long one to tie up the ledgers at 22 all with five minutes remaining. Then for four minutes both combines fought like madmen to gain the advantage, as the crowd literally raised the roof with its cheering.

Then Adessa dribbled into the nets.

The ball rolled the rim and off into the hands of Alfred's giant center, Edleson, w'.io tipped it in, giving the SaxDns a two point lead with about, one minute to play. Jumping the ball at center, Edleson, as he had done throughout the evening, obtained the tip and with the ball in Alfred's pos- session, the Purple gave a pretty exhibition to freeze the leather from the anxious hands of the Allegheny cagers.

SCHEDULE DEBATES WITH OSWEGO AND HOUGHTON

The next debate will be held with Oswego Normal school at Oswego on March 19. Arrangements are now being made to have Houghton debate at Alfred and possibly Geneseo Normal.

The next meeting will be held on Wednesday, Feb. 28 at 7:45 P. M. in the Greene Block. There will be a practice debate on the N. R. A. ques- tion.

The following week, the Forensic society will debate with Prof. Boraas' reflective thinking class.

It is necessary that two more debate teams be formed in order to carry out the program of the society for the rest of the semester. Pre-law stu- lents are urged to take an interest in this work.

All are invited to be present at the lext meeting. An open forum dis- cussion will be held after the regular debate.

ST. BONAVENTURE (Continue! from page ane) in under tiie net broke the scoring ico in the Eonnies' favor. On the next play though Adessa cut to tie up the count. Then a foul by Lonergan and a field goal by Aloxin put the Brown and White in a 5-2 lead.

Then Eric Loyatty, sophomore forward, who incidentally played a whale of a game, cut for the basket.

He- made his shot good and being fouled in shooting was given opportunity to toss a free throw, which he did to put the Saxons in a 10-6 lead.

A foul by Lonergan and a basket by Saporito threatened this lead. Loy- atty, however, again put the Purple ahead by a safe margin, when in the last couple of minutes he registered two field goals—one by a long shot and another in following up Adessa's attempted steve.

Coming hack to the hardwood after the rest period, the Saxons forged steadily ahead for about five minutes.

Alfred was leading 14-9 at the half. A foul by Young and his field goal, when Minnick passed, as well as a free throw by Adessa shoved the Purple into an 18-10 advantage. Mattola during this offensive added one point to the Bonas' score. Then things happened.

Alfred though came back with all the fury of a hurricane. Edleson i followed up Minnick's long shot to break the tie. Loyatty added another point with a free throw and a couple of seconds later, Adessa sunk a long one. Alfred then was leading 23-18 with six minutes to play. Then Bona- venture annexed Alfred's hurricane qualities.

BONNIE'S RETALIATE Saporito opened the comeback with another pivot spinner. Then Me- Gonige sunk a long one, with Lee a few seconds later dribbling in to add two more points. He was fouled and although failing to make the £pul try, Edelson, who consistent- ly during the night outjumped Lee, was forced from the game. Lee's field goal though put the Bonnies in a 24-23 lead.

From this time on it was tit for tat. Saporito scored a field goal, but . a couple of free throws by Adessa a i few seconds later with Young on the next play adding another foul point again deadlocked the count at 26 all, with two minutes and forty-five seconds remaining.

A long steve by Young put Alfred into the lead with about a minute remaining to play. Lee, 'however, chalked up on a short one to again j tie up the score with Faust heaving

| a long one to put the Bonnies into a 130-28 lead with only seconds remain-

; ing. It looked bad for Alfred, until

! Young let loose a long steve. It was good. Obtaining the tip-off, Bonnies took the ball down towards Alfred's basket. The gun sounded, but not being heard, play continued for a second or so with a Bonaventure man scoring. An extra period was ruled.

Fighting like madmen and with the crowd literally raising the roof with a deafening roar, both teams battled away for the first three minutes of that extra period. Finally Lee got loose. His basket sewed the game up, but not content with this, Saporito a couple of plays later added two j more points. In the last half minute, Faust was fouled and made good to iadd one more point to the Brown and

White ledger.

John Barrymore, Helen - !ayes, Clark Gable, Lionel Barrymore, j Robert Montgomery and Myrna Loy are six stars of the upper realms in the picture world. They carry this story of the skies along to the land of Never To lie Forgotten Pictures. It is an airmail story of brave men who go forth into the black night on deeds of daring and of women who stay home and wait. It is a drama brim- ming over with thrills, tense moments, and heart action.

In addition, there will be a funny two reel comedy and a Krazy Kat car- toon.

FRESHMEN CAGERS TRIUMPH OVER LIMA AND BONNIES,

TO CONTINUE UNDEFEATED

Lima Seminary Succumbs 41-8 Before Terrific Freshman Barrage—Bonnies Put Up Game Fight But Forced

To Accept 29-18 Defeat—Subs Play In Both Games

Freshmen eagers increased their list of victims to twelve this past week, winning two more games. Lima Seminary was defeated easily by a 41-8 score. St. Bonas' Freshmen were bowled over by a 29-18 score in a harder fought game.

Although the visitors fought dog- gedly for the leatftier, they were no match for the superior Alfredites, who already have earned the reputation of being the strongest quintet in their intermediate prep class throughout this section of New York State and Northern Pennsylvania.

From the opening until the final whistle, it was a rout for the Purple basketeers. At the end of t'-ie initial quarter, when the regulars had piled up a substantial lead, Me. Lane began

Although never threatened in the loss of their widenmargin, early lead, the Saxon quintet nevertheless was pressed by the Bonnies from the opening whistle until the game was cur- tained. Furthermore, every 'basket garnered by the Saxons came only after plenty of hard work, and not with the seeming ease as has been the case in most of the previous other games.

At the end of the initial period, Al- fred led 9-0. Then McLane began his substituting in an effort to make j substituting with the second quarter the game more even. The substitutes, \ play. The second string men worked however, clicked with equal precision | almost as efficiently as the regulars and continued to add points to Al-

fred's side of the ledger, while the Lima lads were vertuously helpless.

The visitors, however, were appar- ently off-form. At least their mentor

though and when the half ended, although playing had been a little more even, the Saxons were leading 20-8.

The third period was the tightest quarter of the game. Both teams was seemingly striving to obtain a j added equal pointage to their columns, clicking formation against the rabid I Alfred, however, encountered tough offensive of the Saxons, for he too

substituted at ease, using all of his available men in vain a attempt to check the Alfredites.

VARSITY AND YEARLING CAGERS TO CLOSE SUCCESSFUL SEASONS

AWAY FROM HOME THIS WEEK

MATMEN FACE LARRIES HERE

IN LAST MEET

Victory For Saxons Over Highly-Touted St. Law- rence Team Is Hoped For

—Meet Starts At 8 P. M.

The Varsity matmen face their toughest opposition of the year when they clash with St. Lawrence in the j Track and Field House Saturday night This encounter brings the Saxon wrestling schedule to a close.

To date, the Purple and Gold grap- plers have beaten Colgate, but in turn I have succumbed to Buffalo, Rochester Mechanics, and Stroudsburg Normal.

The Varsity, led by Captain Lou Greenstein. veteran 165-pounder, and supported by such capable men as Evans, Riley, Tolbert, Nevius and Bertini, will give the Canton lads plenty of trouble.

Despite the uncertainty in the heavyweight division, Coach Felli will present a well-balanced, experienced outfit. In all probabilities, Evans will wrestle in the 11S pound class, Riley 125 or 135-poiind division, Nev- ius in the 145-pound class, Tolbert in the 155-pound class and Greenstein in the 165-pound class. The 175-pound and unlimited divisions are still in the tentotive state, with the possibilyity of Brims, husky sophomore, filling either berth.

Bolstered by a string of victories over such teams as Ithaca Y. M. C. A.

(25-12), Ithaca College (23-9), and Syracuse Y. M. C. A. (20-12, the Larry Varsity expects to add Alfred to her list of victims. "Doc" Kavanagh's charges are captained by Gallt, who, prior to his defeat by Okum, former Syracuse National Intercollegiate

| champion, won sixteen collegiate vie- j tories. Their probable lineup will be

|as follows: In the 118-pound class, Quinelle; 125-pound class, Gallt; Baltz in the 135-pound class; 145-pound class, "Soupy" Campbell. Either Co- vell or Slater will wrestle in the 155- pound class; Norwalk in the 165- pound class; Paquete in the 175-pound class, and Roberge in the unlimited class.

Quenelle and Baltz are somewhat in- experienced, but Campbell, Paquete and Roberge are veterans in their weights. The latter two wrestle in an easy and deliberate manner, while j the former goes through his bouts in a more swift and precise fashion, it is said.

The St. Lawrence team, as a whole, has a great deal of "staying power"

The Saxon matmen have trained dil- j lgently for the meet. A record crowd j is expected.

ASSEMBLY ADDRESSED BY ST. BONNIES PREXY (Continued from page one) Plassman, "is one of the greatest in- ventions of modern men.''

He added too, that "the newspapers of today are doing most of our thinking," and further stated that it was a grave fault of modern people, "who are constantly imitating each other and taking someone elses judgment for their own."

In summarizing Ois topic, Father ! Plassman enumerated the advantages of a liberal education as history, which steadies and broadens one; ! languages, which delight and make j one appreciate those things which (

others possess; philosophy, which deepens and broadens one; religion, which lifts our minds to God and which without, "would be like a . statue without a head."

TO DISCUSS PLANS FOR FESTIVE DAYS

IN SOCIETY MEET

With but two more games to play | this season, the Frosh basketball team is looking forward to running i their winning streak to fourteen j games. Already the most successful j basketball team in Western New York | and Northern Pennsylvania, the yearl-1 ing cagemen are out to defeat Genesee' Normal and Shinglehouse this week. ' Alfred will be at a slight disadvant- i age when they tackle both of these teams away from home. They are ex- pecting the most trouble from the j Genesee five. On their small home court, the Normal team is a formidable opponent. However, the Frosh team j intend taking them into camp this Fri- j day for their thirteenth win.

On Saturday the Frosh will play j Shinglehouse at Shinglehouse. Hav- • ing already encountered no difficulty j in overcoming the high school team, j the Alfred cagemen should have no | trouble in making them their four- teenth victim.

Alfred's Varsity court team will find itself pitted against tough opposition Thursday night when the Saxons journey to Hamilton to meet Colgate's Maroon eagers. Although the Varsity has shown marked inmrovement in its recent games, it will probably take the best playing the team has shown all year to give Alfred a chance against the up-staters.

The Colgate team has a tall, rangy group of players this year, with a regular center six feet three inches tall, and a reserve center who towers six feet six inches in height. Several men occupying other positions better the six foot mark.

The Maroon last week went on a four game road trip, losing to Dart- mouth, but taking wins over Williams, Army, and finally University of Buf falo by the close score of 27-24. This last close victory for Colgate gives Al- fred a ray of hope, as the Saxons de feated Buffalo earlier in the season, although suffering a defeat at the hands of the same team later.

Further plans for the second annual St. Patrick Festival will be discussed and various reports on the annual convention of the American Ceramic Society meeting in Cincinnati a few days ago heard at a meeting of the Alfred Ceramic Society in the State College of Ceramics at 7:30 o'clock tonight, it was announced today by President Whitney Kuenn.

It was urged by the president that all underclassmen and junior and senior engineers attend the meeting. An active part in the St. Patrick Festival has been planned for members of the J society he said, especially the underclassmen, who within the next couple of years or so, will assume the con- duction of the festival.
