Outplay Visitors To A 10-6 Score

The last and best of the girls' var- j sity games was played last Saturday night on the home court against the well-known Ingersoll-Rand quintette tif Athens, Pa. The contest was more evenly matched than any that we have yet played, the visitors having played together for sometime and having left a very successful record in their wake

KLAN ALPINE HOLD ANNUAL BANQUET

The falsity of the saying that antici- pation is greater than realization, was proved conclusively as far as it was . , , . . , . , . i connected with the Seventh Annual As the visiting team played to one set

nt _ , n_ ^ t l -_ , , „ „ „ <-„„„ ,,io,r^/i Banquet and Ball of Klan Alpine, which was held in Piremens Hall, Sat- jurday night.

Promptly at five-thirty, Mrs. Mid- of rules and the home team played j

accordingly to another code, it was arranged to play the first half with girls' rules and the last half with boys' rules, neither of which were distinctly adhered to.

The fight put up by both sides was

"with true spirit to win. The guard

"work of the visitors was especially notable in the fact that they did not allow their opponents, to slip from their hands for even the smallest part of minute. And if our girls had not t e e n strong enough to carry one or more of their lighter opponents the game would have suffered a decided turn. On the other hand the home team had been accustomed to play according to strict girls' rules and could not quickly adapt themselves to the more open playing. But the varsity always seemed to be there in time to arrest any misfortune that might be- fall them.

The visiting team scored first by a field goal by Strange, and followed

"by a foul by Dolan who later scored the only other field shot made. Van Horn shot; two fouls in the first half and with a basket netted by Schroeder brought the score a t the whistle to

•5-4 in favor of the out-of-town team.

In the second half the varsity was

•confronted with the difficulty of playing under a new set of rules, and although the ball was in their half of the court most of the time, pass-work was made almost impossible by the close guarding of their opponents.

Neither side scored any points from t h e floor, VanHorn netting two fouls and Dolan one, tying the score 6-6.

It was decided to play another five minutes to work off the tie. The home team had become accustomed by this time to the all around playing, and although the visitors held them down for a few minutes, our girls finally broke through their tenacity and two field goals were scored to our credit, first by Neweisinger then another by Schroe- der, making the final score 10-6.

The stellar playing was masked by the close guard work of both teams, which leveled the credit pretty evenly t>ver the players. A little more en-

STUDENT SENATE

The 21st regular meeting of t h e

daugh began ringing bells in the Brick.

At six in Firemens Hall the Klan Alpiners, came into the girls' waiting room, and claimed their partners, with whom they proceeded directly, to the dining room, which was tastifully trim- med with the Klan colors: green and white,—crepe paper streamers, from the chandeliers,—and tables, graced with huge baskets holding "slathers"

of snowy carnations. Eats? Fur- nished by Caterer Claude Smith, need- ing no introduction or recommend....

Coffee Bon Bons After the banquet, toastmaster Fred Pollock called on Dr. Titsworth, Prof.

W. A. Titsworth, Prof. Bole, Vincent Axford '19, and Walt King. No ade- quate description of their witty pleas- antry can be given here. The part of one toast, however, seemed so fit- ting and true that we quote it: "Klan Alpine is to be congratulated as a fra- ternity, tor several distinctive fea- tures; there is one that caps them all,—they have Mrs. King, and there is no second Mrs. King!"

After signing the autographs, the company went up stairs where Wiley's Orchestra were tuning up for the j rlance. The orchestra had braved the elements to get here, as they came up in sleighs from Hornell.

The lights in the Hall were dimmed by purple and gold crepe paper Ian-' terns, purple and gold streamers from the walls were caught up in a most fas- cinating manner in the center of that appalling space which, when undecor- ated, always makes one think: "If the distance is so great from the floor to the ceiling of Firemens Hall, how great must be the distance from earth to Heaven!"

But little extra time for contemplat-

Frosh form by Fred Pollock, showed that girls were granted permission to at- the gods were still favorable, and in- tend the Kanakadea play without their tended nothing should mar the beauty | caps. of a perfect party.

Mrs. Temple's Telegram, the annual Kanakadea play, was presented by the Juniors, Thursday night, March 4, 1920, and was in every way a decided success. The characters were ad- mirably fitted to their parts; they showed careful preparation and training; and they handled the rather dif- j ficult situation in an altogether gratify- ing and praiseworthy manner.

The plot is one of cross-purposes and briefly is as follows: Jack Temple, on the morning after the night before, seeing his wife doubts his statement that he was kept up in a ferris wheel all night, manufactures a tale, namely, that he has spent the night with an

•old friend, John Brown, Elm Avenue, Pickleton. His wife, to catch him, in a lie, telegraphs John Brown to come at once. An actual John Brown appears after an ingenuous friend of Jack's,—Frank Fuller—has just con- vinced Mrs. Temple that she has been unjust to Jack, that he is the John Brown, and that Jack spent the night with (him. Complications develop.

The climax is reached when Mrs.

Frank Fuller appears on the scene to j reclaim her field glasses from the man who was in the ferris wheel with her the night before. Confessions are made all around and the play closes with everybody happy.

David Robison, as Jack Temple, was the beau-ideal as a distraught husband. Isabel Mack as Mrs. Temple, was decidedly natural and pleasing in her role of the imposed-upon wife.

Burdet Crofoot proved a most ingenous teller of tales. Froby Lyttle, as a captain in the king's army, Errington Clarke, as an exasperating butler, and Leon Haynes, as a love-lorn hair- dresser, gave understanding and highly amusing interpretations of their parts. Hazel Croxford, in the role of Mrs. Temple's sister, and Ruth Still- man, as Frank Fuller's wife, were splendid. Pegy Neweisinger, as the real John Brown's wife, made that character most effective and realistic.

By a score of 15 to 23, the Fresh- men boys won the final game and thereby the series last Wednesday night. The contest was the most interesting of the class games and class feeling ran high. The game was hotly contesetd from the sidelines as well as on the court.

The Sophs started the scoring by a foul pitched by Burdick. This was soon followed by a field goal by Hinch- cliff for the Prosh. The Sophs then succeeded in getting an 8 to 2 lead but were unable to hold it long and the period ended with the Frosh leading. Score 14-12.

During the second period the Sophs scored but three ppints while the Prosh laid by nine to their credit.

Burdick made all the Soph points in this half while the Frosh honors were divided between Hinchcliff, Bliss, and Ahearn. Score 23-15.

The work of Coffin and Burdick for the Sophs was exceptionally strong while Hinchcliff, Ahearn and Bliss starred for the Frosh. The game was unusually rough and the spirit displayed was not altogether wholesome.

We feel that a better feeling should attend our class contests in the future.

BE-SQUARE DOCTOR GUTHRIE

Following is a brief life history of Dr. Samuel R. Guthrie, A. U. '08, notice of whose death from pneumonia,

appeared in the last issue of; the Fiat.

Dr. Guthrie was born in Franklin, Ky., prepared for college at the Castle Heights school and entered Alfred Col- lege in 1904. He was a varsity football man and one of the best baseball pitchers that ever threw a ball for Alfred. He was also a member of K. K. K. After his graduation from Alfred he studied medicine and prac- ticed until war was declared. He entered the service at the beginning of the war and came out as a captain in the Medical Corps. He died of pneumonia at his home in Kentucky on February 21st.

ASSEMBLY

Prof. Clawson Assumes Defense

A high class entertainment staged by the class of '23, featured by the work of Volk with the violin and the excellent rendition of songs by Stamm, both of whom responded to an en- core, was followed by a most interesting address delivered by Profesosr Clawson upon the "Beauties of Na- ture."

Professor Clawson's address was one which we will long remember, and there was much food for thought in the things which he expressed. It took us from the realm of the common- place, and transferred us to the region of observation for beauty's sake. In the bustle which is going on around us daily, seldom do we have or seldom do we take the time to gaze deeply into those things which are always with us, and which are a part of t h e terrestrial sphere upon which we are acting. Nature is the greatest thing in the world, and for the student who notices its beauties, there are great observances to be made.

The Freshman class rendered an entertainment which was one of the best yet given. There is much talent in our youngest class, and it is sure- ly a pleasure to find such evidences of the same. President Ahearn took charge of the program, which ended in the singing of the Alma Mater by the entire assemblage.

It may be that we will recall tales of the barbed wire around the trenches of France, but never in the history of this institution do we remember the time when our verdant freshman were prevented from storming their own seats in assembly at Alfred. It was a strange factor that intervened last Wednesday morning, although luckily for the freshmen, their program neces- sitated the fact that they occupy the front seats that are at other times re- served for the worthy and industrious sophomores. This, of course, was detrimental to the members of the lat- ter class, and placed them in that un- enviable state of being which is coarse- y termed as "out of luck." The freshmen were blamed of course: so were the sophomores. Both claim that they had no idea of such an "inclosure."

Were we dating back to the middle ages of English History, Dr. Norwood could probably satisfactorily account for this demonstration. However, this is the twentieth century, and as Presi- dent Davis aptly observed, our assembly hall is apparently being used as a cattle ranch. The matter still remains a mystery as to its perpetra- tors. Some smile wisely and sug- gestively, others disdainfully, but no one professes to know. Were we ardent readers of the pages of fiction, we would suggest that as a trial effort our esteemed friend "Nick" Carter be given an opportunity to work on the case. Long practice of that individual in searching for the unknown and hid- den lanes about this village would give us the idea that he is always playing for a clue, and evidently desirous of driving our eminent "Gum- shoe" to the wall. We recommend that "Nick" be engaged to ferret out the mystery.

ASSOCIATIONS

Y. M. C. A.

Adolph Vossler spoke at Y. M. held last Sunday night a t the Klan Alpine.

The subject was "Loyalty." The talk centered around the question of wiiat influence should a college man give to his home community in regard to religion? The subject seemed to be one of interest and a lively discussion of the subject followed.

The Y. M. Cabinet met yesterday noon and nominated officers for the next year. The election of officers will be held at the regular meeting next Sunday evening.

SHOW-YOUIt-SPIRIT—

Y. W. C. A.

The leader at the regular Sunday night meting of the Y. W. C. A. was Bea Streeter, who talked on the topic

"We" in an interesting and profitable manner emphasiing the fact that "We"

is the opposite of the straight-backed pronoun "I". The Inter-Church World Conference held here stressed the point that we do not live to ourselves, alone, but are tied to our neighbors, next door, in the next state, or the next continent! Brotherhood and service go hand in hand, and Bea said as we girls are in college to learn how to serve we should consider some form of service that will make us better sisters to other girls, the world over.

Hazel Croxford read a selection from a Japanese girl's diary, written in Eng- lish, and very human, amusing, and vivid, showing that girls are the same, no matter where they live. Hazel played the victrola record, "One Sweet- ly Solemn Thought;" Ada Walsh read a prayer on service; and everyone sang

"Now the Day is Over."

Hollice Law made the announcement that t h e nominations for the next year's Cabinet have been made. These will be voted on sometime in the near future. In the meantime, the girls are to study the names and choose the nominees whom they consider most j suitable for the positions, as a strong

Cabinet is desired, next year.

The meeting closed with the Dox- ology and the Association benediction.

There were thirty-five girls present.

GLEE CLUB

Have you ever stopped to think just what a good Glee Club means to Al- fred? It means as much as the football team, the basketball team, the In- terscholastic Meet or the baseball team. It means advertising and it has a wide range for its advertising. That applies to a good Glee Club and this year's Club is one of the best that Alfred has ever produced, one that can compete with any college in the country. At the present time the Club is in a flurry of preparation for its big trip to New York City and New Jersey, which starts as soon as the second term exams are over. Get back of your Glee Club as you would your football team and it will "put over" its concerts with that old Al- fred spirit and pep which always wins.

The regular good-times session of the College Women's Organiation was held in the lyceum rooms at the Brick, Tuesday night, from 10:15 till about 11 o'clock. Peggy Neweisinger was chairman of the committee in charge.

Nearly all of the outside girls were present and a number of them stayed all night at the Brick, after the doings up stairs, which were original, clever, and highly entertaining. The storm of aplause brought the chorus girls back again and again. Skizzy, in a gay, red-white-and-blue costume, with characteristic vivacity, did the "turkey in the straw" to the vast delight of the audience. A victrola furnished music : for dancing, during which, wafers and j demonade were served. A good time

1 was reported by all, who hope Peggy and her jolly helpers will have charge j again, sometime.

—KHOW-YOUK-RPIIMT—

The Alfred Story Book, which was to make its debut last Wednesday, was unavoidably delayed, so in place of the sale of the books orders were taken. It is expected, however, that the books will be ready for distribu- tion by next Wednesday.

UG-I.OYAl

The preliminaries for the Peace Con- test are to be held tomorrow. While at one time the enthusiasm mounted to such a height that the tryout contest was made necessary, it seems to be waning again so that by the time the contest really comes we will have but few who are still loyal to the old white flag. The students should realize more fully the advantage offered by this contest, not only from the pecuniary point of view, but far greater from the vision of the decided opportunity to be gained from the training and experience. Every- one ought to know and become familiar with public speaking. It is hoped that more contestants will avail themselves and enter with the will that wins.

Make a real contest.

—sirow-Yomt-spiniT—

The Fiats for the second term make their finale with this issue. And it is with a vague sigh of relief that we hail the end to view. The rocky road has been not quite as rocky as it might have been, or as it was last year, but we nevertheless feel that the students haven't so far given quite the co-operation that they might have.

There is however, still the best part of the school year left in which to take advantage of a small practical taste of journalistic opportunities. The character and achievements of the student-body must be set down in the annals by someone and the more there are that enter into the work, the easier and better it will be.

In this coming term it is not expected that there will be the extremely heavy rush of the previous ones—students have become better accustomed to their work and have it more under control—and time will be for a little freer scanning of the college life. So think about your school in the beautiful, inspirative moments of the spring term and do your share in the compil- ing of the annals. Boost the Col- lege.

The Junior class wishes to apologize for the disappointment experienced after the Kanakadea play last Thurs- day. The fault does not, however, lie entirely with the class. The chief reason for the extremely discourteous expulsion was because the janitor got mad when the fellows cleared the seats away in disorder. It really seems as though the students could have a place where they could have at least co-operation in their activities, as this one particular point has al-

"'nys been a thorn in the breast of all our social functions. The Juniors however, can do nothing but express their appreciation to the audience for their attendance and the good nature in which they took that last misfortune.

SAD DEATH

On last Wednesday occurred the death of Mrs. Mary Stearns, whose ac- quaintance has been to us but a brief four months. Coming here shortly after school opened to hold the home ties together with her two sons, her pleasantness and refinement impressed everyone who had the opportunity of knowing her. And it is with the deep- est regret and sympathy that we realize the loss of one who was so well adapted to beautiful and wholesome environment of our school.

Mrs. Stearns came here from Port- land, Maine, to make a home {or her two sons, John who has charge of the ancient language department, and

George who entered the Freshman class. Her death, though rather sud- den, was not without warning, as she had been suffering from bronchitis for sometime, and which finally developed bronchial pneumonia, causing her death shortly after two o'clock, March 3d.

A short funeral service was held Saturday afternoon at the house, after which the body, accompanied by her two sons, was taken to Portland for burial. The sympathy of the school is extended to her sons, John and George.

Some of the General Electric Company's Research Activities During the War:

Submarine detection devices X-ray tube for medical service Radio telephone and telegraph Electric welding and applications Searchlights for the Army and Navy Electric furnaces for gun shrinkage Magneto insulation for air service Detonators for submarine mines Incendiary and smoke bombs Fixation of nitrogen Substitutes for materials

The Service of an Electrical Research Laboratory

The research facilities of the General Electric Company are an asset of world-wide importance, as recent war work has so clearly demonstrated. Their advantages in pursuits of peace made them of inestimable value in time of war.

A most interesting story tells of the devices evolved which sub- stantially aided in solving one of the most pressing problems of the war—the submarine menace. Fanciful, but no less real, were the results attained in radio communication which enabled an aviator to control a fleet of flying battleships, and made possible the sending, without a wire, history-making messages and orders to ships at sea. Scarcely less important was the X-ray tube, specially designed for field hospital use and a notable contribution to the military surgical service. And many other products, for both com- batant and industrial use, did their full share in securing the victory.

In the laboratories are employed highly trained physicists, chemists, metallurgists and engineers, some of whom are experts of inter- national reputation. These men are working not only to convert the resources of Nature to be of service to man, but to increase the usefulness of electricity in every line of endeavor. Their achievements benefit every individual wherever electricity is used.

Scientific research works hand in hand with the development of new devices, more efficient apparatus and processes of manufacture. It results in the discovery of better and more useful materials and ulti- mately in making happier and more livable the life of all mankind.

A Substitute For Experience

It would seem fool-hardy for a Chicago Meat-Packer to send out a man to buy cattle who knew nothing whatever about them. As a matter of fact he would not do it. Yet, when you stop to think about it, there are hundreds of people buying clothes daily who do not know whether they are getting their money's worth or not. These are the people who should investigate Our Clothes because the maker gives a guarantee that the clothes will give satisfactory wear and service. This takes all of the uncer- tainty out of clothes buying Stein- Bloch Smart, Clothcraft Guaranteed and Griff Ultra Clothes.

Just a few isolated men's and young men" overcoats left. All of good quality and if your size is here the saving in price is abnormal. You'll be surprised. Drop in and have a look.
