Reap Vengeance In Fastest Game of Season MARKED IMPROVEMENT IN TEAMWORK

In one of the best exhibitions of basketball ever witnessed on an Al- fred court, the Varsity handed Hobart a nice lacing last Saturday night, when the Purple quintet emerged from the fray on the long end of a 32 to 21 score. The result is made all the more gratifying when the fact that Hobart handed Alfred a 35 to 18 beating on the Genevan's court earlier in the season, is considered.

With an offense that carried all be- for it and a defense that held well at all times, the- Varsity kept well in the lead with one exception when Hobart crept up to within four points of tie- ing the score and that for but a moment. In the first half, Alfred had everything her own way, the score at the end of the period being 21 to 7, and at one time being 20 to 2. The in- itial whirlwind attack swept the boys from the shores of Seneca Lake off their feet, ad before they recovered, the first half was over and almost certain defeat staring them in the face.

The second half showed Hobart to a Slight advantage over Alfred in the \

CELEBRATION OF THE NINETIETH BIRTHDAY OF

CHARLES W. ELLIOTT President Emeritus of Harvard

University

Colleges of the country are joining in the preparation of a book of testi- monials to be bound and presented to President Elliott on his ninetieth birthday, March 20, 1924. Tie faculty of Alfred University has adopted the following letter of greeting and con- gratulation to be engrossed on paper especially prepared for the purpose to be bound in the book:

Charles W. Elliott, D. D.

President of Harvard University, Emeritus. , Sir:

Alfred University desires to parti- cipate with Harvard and other Ameri- can colleges, and with the public, In extending to you on your ninetieth birthday heartiest congratulations and good wishes.

Your length of years and continued mental vigor are only matched by the illustrious educational achievements of your administration at Harvard.

Far beyond a half century you have been the outstanding educational leader of America, if not of the world.

You have placed all the world in your debt. Students of Harvard, inspired by your ideals of scholarship and character, have been furnished to all our colleges as teachers and execu- tives. Through them you have pro- jected your personality into every country of the world. The streams t)f good you have initiated will flow on forever.

We bid you hail! and from the vant- age point of your ninety years we crave again your cheery work of com- radeship in the things of the mind and of the spirit. May the light which you have ever followed grow still brighter with the lengthening years.

And may that light and the assurance that you are loved and honored by both your comrades and your country- men make sweet and peaceful yet many future days, and bright and glorious the more abundant life beyond.

matter of scoring, but as for team work, playing the game and the "ol' fight," the Purple equalled its oppon- ent's efforts in every instance.

Foti started the scoring when he registered a pretty side shot from an out of bounds play. Young soon followed him with another two-point j counter and then Krause, Hobart's famed athletic star, counted once on a free throw. Foti contributed two via the free throw route and Babcock registered for a brace of points when he caged one from the field. After Bremner failed to count on two foul shots, Foti rimmed his second basket of the evening, again from an out of bounds play. Raymond failed to re- port to the scorer when substituted and Young took the advantage and rang up another point from the foul line. Peterson followed immediately with another foul shot, and on the next play dribbled down the floor and registered from the field. Young counted from a pretty side shot and the Hobart defense began to stiffen.

Raymond missed on a free throw but Trapnell rang up one out of two at- tempts from the fifteen football line.

After some pass work of a superior nature, Foti slipped the ball to Babcock and the latter individual in turn drop- ped, the sphere through the basket for two more points. With the Blue and Gold tightening up, baskets became fewer but Young made a difficult shot from under the basket and a foul shot, which Krause followed with a similar counter, adding another when Peterson blocked him. Hobart's first basket from the field came when Trapnell made good on a play from tip-off.

After a few minutes of see-saw play, Krause registered a double counter as the gun announced the end of the first half.

Baldwin started the second half with a foul shot and, after several minutes of play, Trapnell secured a field goal, which aroused Krause sufficiently to allow him to make a pretty shot from near the middle of the court.

Trapnell again registered and it look- ed as though Hobart had at last hit her stride. Peterson tried to even matters up when he dribbled past Ray- mond and netted his second field goal of the evening. Trapnell, now coming rapidly into the limelight, made five points in the next minute on a field goal and three free throws.

Peterson again registered, this time on a beautiful shot from mid-court, Me- Connell counted his only point of the game on a foul shot and Trapnell evened up with a point in the same manner. Young got under a long pass from McConnell and dribbled up to drop the ball in for two points. Bald- win chalked up one on a free throw and Babcock netted a pretty back hand shot after receiving the ball from the tip off. The final gun came as Hobart was in possesion of the ball after Krause attempted another long one.

Young, with five baskets from the field and two foul shots, was high scorer for Alfred, besides playing a nice floor game. Peterson accounted for seven points in addition to leading the team in fine fashion. Bab- cock figured prominently in the pass (

work and chalked up thre field goals j to his credit. Foti guarded well!

and added two field goals to those of J his team mates. McConnell, playing the first whole game of his career exhibited remarkable back guard work and showed speed as well as ability to break up plays.

Instructive and Interesting Talk!

Before Student Body That modern science is really ful- filing the heritage left it by civilization of the past, was the gist of Prof.

Cryan's speech in assembly last Wed- nesday.

In his talk the Professor outlined the progress of science through the past to the present, terming the history cycle a spiral rather than a circle.

The middle class, clue to the division of labor had gradually usurped power.

It is this class that has initiated all worth while reforms. Progress, however, requires wealth and the great stores of wealth in India, Egypt and Peru, made their civilization possible.

So today does the wealth of the leading nations make scientific advance a reality.

It has been said that the natural re- sources of the world are being de- pleted with no replacement. This, Prof. Cryan said, was absurd when one realizes that the heat liberated in converting a pound of hydrogen to helium would heat an ordinary house 1000 years, or that a gallon of gaso- line is capable of running a Ford car 488 miles rather than sixteen if effi- cient means were- at hand. The con- version of the sow's ear to silk will be

nothing compared with miracles of the future. The inventions of the past have been but stepping stones in the creation of limitless energy. So the worries of these people are unfounded.

The four elements of the ancients have been expanded to 92 with more j to follow. So it is with everything that the ancient philosophers accepted.

Today natural possibilities have merely been scratched. Only time can tell us what will be accomplished.

Prof. Cryan's lecture was instructive as well as interesting, a rare combina- tion, and absentees lost a real opportunity in addition to the pleasure of seeing themselves in the movies.

A Hornell man, proprietor of the Majestic, sent a camera operator to photograph the procession to and from assembly. It is understood that the j reel will be shown at the Majestic shortly. Most mortals enjoy being conspicuous but do not often have the opportunity of seeing themselves thus.

"It is possible we might gain a little knowledge in 'seeing ourselves as others see us.' "

Twenty-first Formal Initiation Unusually Amusing

YEARLINGS SHOW FINE SPIRIT

FIRST OF INTER-CLASS BASKETBALL GAMES

Seniors Over Sophs The first game of the Intra-mural basketball series took place Feb. 11, when the Seniors, present champions, took the Sophs into camp to the tune of 19 to 12. Perhaps the new uni- forms, recently passed out to the Senior team had the desired psycho- logical (or otherwise) effect, but at any rate1 the supposedly dignified ones held control of the game at all times, keeping well in front of their sister class except when the Sophs managed to cage the first basket. Thus scared, the Seniors proceded to forge in front and stayed there throughout the game.

The game, while rough in spots, was clean, the roughness being more to anxiety and hard playing than to in- tentional fouling. The Seniors un- corked some pass work at times which baffled their opponents, while the Sophs had to be content with an oc- casional basket, upon the completion of a long pass or a Steve.

With the first of the series proving of a very entertaining nature, the re- maining games are sure to provoke much interest which is as it should be.

Last Wednesday evening, after much discussion, speculation and apparent anxiety as regarded coming events, the male members of the class of '27 received their first real portion of college life in the annual Freshman initiation, or night-shirt parade as it is called, which has for many years been an established college tradition.

Promptly at 7:30 the victims, equipped with paddles as per specifications, gathered one hundred per cent strong in front of the post office and, after being drawn up in regular formation, answered to roll call. Since the event was of a more or less formal nature, all participants wore evening dress with but one exception of the two- piece variety. Music of a suitable nature was furnished by the sophomore class and, following a drill, which was somewhat shorter than usual due to prevailing weather conditions, this improvised band led the march to the old academy where the exercises were scheduled to take place.

Upon entrance to the hall, which was already filled with an expectant crowd of students, faculty and towns- people., the yearlings were marshalled to seats on the floor in the form of a semi-circle facing Mecca.

The hubbub shortly subsided and F.

W. Gibson '24, rose from the judge's chair and addressed the assemblage, explaining the history of this noc- turnal function and at once proceed- ing to the busines at hand.

A sharp order and shoes of all sizes from fives to Bill Bowles' thirteens, went flying back over the heads .of their owners to be collected in a heap by juniors in the rear of the formation.

Thus stripped for action, Washburn introduced the prograim proper by complying with a request to give a little speech showing why Williams College has advantages over Alfred.

Needless to say, his arguments were not sufficiently convincing to Alfred- ites and a smart application of the paddles was forthcoming.

A large gong suspended back of the jury was struck frequently at which signal the entire company of Frosh was instructed to face Mecca and sa- laam. A slight amount of hesitation on the part of any individual to obey this summons was sure to call down punishment. Due to the fact that the gong always sounded at the most in- opportune moments, the amusement afforded by this part of the program furnished one of the features of the evening.

Some rare musical talent was un- covered when Olmstead endeavored to rend "Sitting In The Corner," but a limited vocabulary prevented the singer from exhibiting his vocal powers to the best advantage.

Hollis Johnston, the heavyweight of his class, held the attention through several rounds of vigorous shadow boxing which terminated in his own knockout.

"Big Bill" Bowles, with Dailey on his shoulders, had only begun his act when the gong sounded and the rider with a frantic leap responded to the invitation to descend, leaving his steed in a state of bewilderment as to the reason for the sudden de- sertion which was only dispelled by vigilant juniors and their weapons.

One corner of the arena was con- verted into a miniature tonsorial parlor when Doolittle, of the afore- mentioned exception in regard to uni- form, was sentenced to a hair cut by

the promising young barber, Caruso, This feat accomplished, the patron, rubbing the large bald spot on the top of his head, was heard to remark that it was an all-around good job and cer«

tainly worth eleven cents.

The usual sentences of counting grains of sand and the pie eating contest for blind men were meted out to well chosen delinquents while others added their bits in various ways such as local impersonations, proposals to the prettiest girl present, more speeches and songs.

As the final mirth-provoking scene, the Frosh formed a circle about the heap of shoes, and at the crucial moment, flung themselves into a mad, struggling mass in an effort to regain their property. Distracted several times by the gong, each fellow finally emerged crayfish fashion from the heap which seemed to consist mostly of arms and legs with his dearly procured belongings, or his neighbors, and retired in all haste from the chamber of horrors.

The evening passed without a regret- able mishap and the freshman class, as a whole, is to be complimented on the splendid spirit which characterized the annual event.

PURPLE CAGERS TO CLASH WITH R. S. O. TONIGHT

Busy Week For Varsity Quintet

MECHANICS SATURDAY

With two Varsity basketball games carded for this week, the old gym is certain to rock with cheers of the nature of those accorded the team last Saturday night. The rather unexpect- ed victory and totally unlooked for re- juvenated team of the last game has aroused basketball interest to the highest pitch of excitement and the Purple floor men will have no end of support when they meet Rochester School of Optometry tonight and Me- chanics Institute next Saturday evening.

Tonight, R. S. O. once, conquered this season by the Varsity by only the narrowest of margin, will attempt a comeback in the old Academy. The eye specialists are reputed to be con- siderably stronger than when they first met Alfred, and that fact coupled with the absolute proof that the Purple and Gold is in on mood to be beaten, assures a game with fight from start to finish.

On Saturday night, the Varsity will have a chance to reap revenge over Mechanics Institute which defeated the local cagers by a two point margin earlier in the season. A victory over the Rochesterians would not only provide revenge but soothe that feeling that "they should not have been beaten," which was the obvious result of the first clash between the two teams.

Wm. Slosson is spending the week- end at his home in Fairport.

Thanks to the recent heavy falls of snow, we are having ideal conditions for sleighing, and skiing, which are being enjoyed to the full extent by our lovers of out-door sports.

Melvin Merton, Wm. Krastel and Wm. Slosson have been appointed as a committee to work in conjunction with the College Junior class in arranging for the annual Kanakadea banquet.

The Frosh and Junior Frosh initiation will be held this evening at the Ag Hall. William Slosson, William Krastel, Gray Rheinbrecht and Rob Roy have devised the plans for the yearlings and it is hoped that it will be a tremendous success for the visitors and Frosh alike.

Mr. Diwan V. Shil, Ag '25, expects to leave Alfred shortly to take a course in motor mechanics at Detroit.

We wish him the best of luck in his venture, and should any of us at some future date find ourselves in sunny India,, we are requested by Mr. Shil to visit his home in the Orient.

Coach Kasper gave an interesting talk in assembly Monday on athletics.

After discussing the advantages ac- cruing to the individual and the school due to earnest participation in athletics, Coach made a plea for the co- operation of everyone in making the best use of the somewhat limited equipment available at Alfred, and in making known to prospective Al- fredians the benefits of a course at this School.

Theta Gamma

Bros. Kellogg and Bliton started out i early Thursday morning with a wager j that they could hike to Ithaca and, back without any expense except pro- [ viding for their meals and ' lodging.

However both returned late Saturday night with the satisfaction that it was accomplished. The Brothers spent a day down at Cornell Univer- sity attending Farmers' Week affair, which was being held for one week.

Bros. Donald Atwater and George Wood spent the week-end at Middle- port, visiting at the home of the former's fiance, Miss Gladys Kinyon.

Many of the Brothers here should have taken up nursing as well as Ag.

Every one pitches in to assist at a moment's notice when any one be- comes ill. Donald Fullerton, who is being cared for at the Chapter House, has more than one nurse attending him. Brother Curley Anderson is the principal character who in turn playa doctor and nurse. "Curley" is thus combining theory with practice in the study of medicine.

We wish our worthy stewardess, Mrs. Emerson, a speedy recovery from her illness.

Tau Sigma Alpha

Mrs. H. F. Kekvs has been visiting Miss Truman for a few days.

The T. S. A. girls are enjoying win- ter sports.

Genevieve Martin, one of our members who spent last year at N. Y. S.

A., is visiting us.

A number of the girls attended the Junior play at Hornell.

RECTEMWALD-MARTIN The marriage of Miss Lillian Mar- tin, Ag '22, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.

George Martin, S. Main St., to Mr.

Eugene Rectemwald of Dansville, N.

Y., was solemnized last Saturday evening, at the Presbyterian parsonage, Dansville, N. ., at 8 o'clock.

A shower for the bride and groom was held Sunday night at the home of the bride's parents in Alfred. Bridge was enjoyed throughout the evening, after which a delicious supper was served. About fifteen couples at-j tended.

EASTWARD HO!—THE PRAIRIE SCHOONER CAMPAIGN!

The Ohio State Grange and the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation have combined forces in a campaign for lower taxes and less legislation.

The old time prairie schooner is the symbol for this campaign. The canvas covered wagon of our forefathers is an appropriate synonym for the old ways of our fathers — simplicity, honesty and economy in government.

From various sections of Ohio, these wagons will start, meeting at Colum- bus and from here will go to Wash- ington, not by the same tedious jour- ney which the old pioneers had to make but. by freight cars. These wagons will carry petitions to Congress from the Granges of Ohio, asking lower taxes and less legislation.

These wagons will be driven by ex- mayors, mayors and other notables of Ohio. Governor Donaheny allied him- self with the movement when he drove wagon No. 4 at Bowling Green.

Perhaps Ohio has started a country- wide agitation.

Entered a t the Alfred Post Office fis second-class matter.

Recently, there have been numerous complaints occasioned by confusion caused by various members of the underclasses in assembly. Upon occasions when meetings of the athletic association have been called following assembly, occcupants of the balcony have exhibited no little unrest and frequently even a decided lack of interest by leaving the building before the close of the meeting. This is due, no doubt, in some cases to mere thoughtlessness or ignorance of college traditions and in others for an open disregard for courtesy to fellow students.

That which we call college spirit should prevent this sort of thing. All freshmen are expected to remain in their places until the faculty and senior, junior and sophomore classes have left the building and their pres- ence is also requested at meetings of the athletic association following assembly. It should not be necessary to take any other means of enforcement than to call attention to these regu- lations.

A BUSY MAN

Prof. Wingate is a busy man these days answering communications concerning the Glee Club. Never in the history of the Glee Club have there been so many inquiries concerning dates and terms. It speaks well for the club and the school. While many of the former students desire the ap- pearance of the Glee Club in their dif- ferent towns there are also many let- ters from strangers who either heard the concert broadcasted from W. E.

A. F. in New York City last year or they have heard, of the Glee Club through the alumni and friends.

JUNIORS TO PRESENT PLAY

The Junior play, "Billeted," an Eng- i lish war-time comedy, in three acts, will be given next Thursday evening in Firemens Hall.

The play, a three act portrait of human nature, derives its plot from the billeting of English soldiers in the homes of patriotic citizens.

The cast has been hard at work for sometime and the comedy promises to be of a most entertaining nature.

RATING THE FACULTY

At Antioch College, Ohio, where they are trying so many interesting ex- periments, the students are all rated once a year by the personnel department and the student government. A new outgrowth of this system is the rating of the faculty which was staged recently. Every student was called upon to rate as many members of the faculty as he felt qualified to rate in the following particulars: his fairness and openmindedness in the conduct of his courses; his ability to get his mes- sage across to his students; his con- sideration and sympathy in solving the problems of the individual student; and his general value to the college aside from these three particulars.

This rating must have been of decided value to the professors and of decided interest to all. The equiv- alent of it might well be established in every place where men work together, and some of them are placed in charge of others.

Choice of a Career

From the Yale News THE NINETY-FOUR

Someone, probably an insurance agent, was quoted recently as saying that from the mass of one hundred college graduates one individual only rose to the Polo and butler class, peril- ously near the top of the financial lad- der. Five others became comfortably off and found, themselves after twenty years at the small yacht and chauffeur stage. The other ninety-four presumably congregate in the great section of the American people who drive their own Buicks to the golf club. In other words, dreaming about being a rich man is one thing, and making the grade is "something else again."

Yet the ninety-four presumably work just as hard as the sumptuous six. Their business is the axis on which a small and uninteresting world revolves. They have become devotees of the dollar and when that fickle deity deserts, have nowhere else to turn. Jammed in a dull, straight rut of business they can never leave the road and jump the fence into finer fields of life. This, then, is the portion of ninety-four men out of every hundred now on the campus.

The answer to the problem lies in the proper choice of a career.

Between now and Commencement we shall have something to offer on the subject of "Careers." Wstch for the space with the Famous Signature.

KAPPA PSI UPS1LON

I

Brother Barone has decided to take up permanent residence in Hornell and commute to Alfred. The other | brothers are much worried over the reasons for which Bro. Barone made the decision to change. When ques- tioned he said that it was only proper to keep them a secret since "to the discoverer belongs the spoils."

Pledge "Jack" Lane spent Sunday a t the Kappa Psi House.

Brother Cole of Pittsburghhad seven abstracts published in the February issue of the Journal of the American Ceramic Society. The abstracts were made from Italian engineering mag- azines.

A spirited member of '25 received a great surprise at the Kappa Psi House last Monday evening. He was returning from a Frat meeting and noticed in passing the house that a red lantern was hanging from the railing of the porch directly in front of the door. He realized immediately that someone had forgotten that the steps were to the left of the door, and had stepped off the porch and had been hurt in the fall. After the accident someoae had put jupl t h e railing and hung up the lantern as a warning to others. He dashed into the house with great haste to comfort his friends if possible. To his dis- may he learned, that no on© was hurt. The lantern was just a signal that a fraternity meeting was in progress* a part of the new custom suggested by the Interfraternity Coun- cil.

PI ALPHA PI

The Pi Alpha girls celebrated their first birthday by having a theatre party. The girls left Alfred early in the evening and went to the Shattuck in Hornell to see the actors and ac- tresses from Alfred perform. After the show, a dainty lunch was served at Babcock's Tea Room. During the return trip, the Pi Alpha bus served as a "rescue omnibus," by picking up some Alfred wayfarers along the way.

The evening was a merry one and Pi Alpha's birthday was a success.

EXTRACTS FROM EXCHANGES The Tripod—Hartford, Conn.—

The Interfraternity Council is no more. At an open meeting of the council Tuesday evening, it was defi- nitely decided by the representatives of the seven fraternities comprising the council to abandon the rushing agreement established five years ago and return to the ancient "cut-throat' method.

The policy of "Every fraternity for itself and the devil take the hinder- most" will be the vogue at Trinity next September.

A unique plan has been devised and has succeeded to a marked extent at Trinity to retain its promising Fresh- men, especially the athletes in the Yearling class. It has been estimated that about 35 per cent of the freshman class flunk out at Mid-years, and of that percentage, the greater part are men of athletic ability. In order to diminish this percentage of scho- lastic fatalities, a student tutoring system has been inaugurated where- by the men in good standing tutor the men in poorer standing.

Green and White—Salem, West Va.—

The alumni of Salem College have recently launched an endowment drive with $500,000 as their goal.

The Campus—Allegheny College—

A series of mass meetings, purely of student origin, has been started in Allegheny College for the discussion of such subjects a s : "The Menace of War," "Race Problems" and "Ku Klux Klan."

Hamilton Life—Hamilton College, Clin- ton, N. Y.—

Students and faculty of Hamilton College favor the Bok peace plan as shown by a 300 to 28 vote.
