STATE LOSES TO
ST. LAWRENCE
Stale College lost a hard game
on Saturday night wheii we lost to
St. Lawrence in the last minute of
play by the seorc of 23-20. The
combination
playing
together
Saturday night proved to be the
best that has started this year.
State excelled in passwork but was
unable to score many times after it
had worked the ball under its own
basket.
Uarber excelled for the visitors
while Springmann was the star for
State College. It was due to his
superior work that the ball was
under our basket a good share of
the time. Two of his baskets were
scored by spectacular work on his
part.
One was scored after he
dribbled the entire length of the
court and another was scored from
a difficult angle at the side of the
court, He scored half of the total
points for State. The score follows:

The regular chapel period and
third period of the morning session
on Friday, January 9, were given
over to the presentation of the thicrcollegialc Referendum on the
question of the League of Nations.
The discussion, which was well
presented, was given for the purpose of presenting the different
.-ides of the question and not for
the purpose of spreading propaganda. The vote Tuesday was not
cast as deciding on the merits of
the debate, but on the question presented, The results of lite vote
were scut to the Central Committee
in New York, where the national
result will be tabulated and given
mil for publication.
A college vote taken thus simultaneously and in a uniform ballot
sels forth the opinion of a large
body of impartial but interested
voters in the country which is fairly
representative of the public .sentiment on questions of like national
and international character.

special train for \)CA .Moines, l.owa,

Traveling on the same train were
delegates from Boston University, '
Weileslev. Ilolyoke, Smith, Yale,
Harvard, Brown, M. I. T , many
small colleges and countless little
normal schools in the Fast. Several rather exciting things happened before we had gone far.
First of all one of the cars just
back of us developed a hot box and
the unfortunate people in that car
were forced to sit up in a day
coach most of the night. For a
long time we were in Ontario,

some of us. Here we noticed that

DRAMATICS CLASS IN

Albany High School Auditorium
To-morrow Night
The Dramatic and Arts Association will present the • Dramatics
Class in three one-act plays tomorrow night in the Albany High
School auditorium. The class has
been working hard under the direction of Miss Futterer to make
the plays equal to any that have
ever been presented by this College.
The lirst play on the program
will be a kitchen comedy. It derives its name, " Between the Soup
and the Savory," from the fact that
the action takes place during the
serving of dinner in a well-to-do
English family. The play centers
around the little slavey (Emily
Sccurmanl who listens longingly
to the cook and the maid discussing their "gentlemen friends."
Unable to stand the heartless remarks to her by the maid (Mae
De Rouville) any longer, the little
slavey reads a letter which she
claims was sent to her by her
young man — but to tell the rest
would spoil It. The play is full
of funny speeches, with here and
there a touch of pathos to keep the

GREETINGS
If it's not too late here's the
•' News" board wishing everybody
a Happy New Year!
We came
back too late for an issue last
Thursday, but we feel sure the material published here will amply
recompense for last week's loss,
and for the lack of publications
during the next two weeks of
exams. The next number of the
" News" will be the annual junior
issue, to be edited entirely by the
junior members of the board and
published February 5.
In the
number following will be published
the list of new " News" board
members from whom a maximum
of five sophomores will be elected
in May to positions of Associate
Editor for 1920-21. Those who are
trying for these positions should
join Press Club and get busy!
DON'T WORRY
" The fateful time approaches,
The hour is drawing near."
No, wc have been back at College only two weeks, although it
does seem a year when we think
of the " bright prospects " immediately before us. Christmas vacation was so pleasant and so generally opposed to study that the contrast now seems overwhelming.
But, in truth, should we feel that
all pleasure lies behind and only
disaster ahead? Wc have not forgotten everything we ever knew,
and besides we have taken
" exams " before. In fact, vacation
itself has helped to prepare us to be
equal to the occasion, No matter
how we have spent it — all in
pleasure, all in work, or some of
each — we are better prepared because of it! However, if wc have
made a profitable and sensible use
of those days away from College,
so much more will we, conscious of
it or not, reap their real benefit.
During each, semester wc have

T
HE marvels of electricity have revolutionized our
manufacturing industries. With belts and pulleys
replaced by electric motors operating automatic—almost
human— machines, many a slow and tedious process has
been eliminated. The factory worker's task of yesterday
is made pleasant by his command of this magic power.
The Crane Company's plant at Chicago—electrical throughout—is n
model of industrial efficiency. Its 10,000 horsepower of driving
energy is brought by three small wires from a distant power plant.
Then, electricity drives the machinery which handles the coal for heating, cuts the steel, sifts the sand and sorts the material—in fact does
everything from scrubbing the floor to winding the clock.
Such an institution io marvelous—superhuman—made thus by the
man-multiplying force of electricity. T h e General Electric Company
has been irutrumental in effecting this evolution. First, by developing
ouccessful electrical generating and transmission apparatus to furnish
economically this modern form of power. Secondly, through many
years of active co-operation with hundreds of manufacturers, it has
j::s3tercd tha art of applying the use of electrical energy to a multitude
of needs. And finally, through branch offices and other distributing
channels, ita producis are made accessible to all.

Chemistry Club held its meeting
on January 9. James Bucci gave a
paper on rubber. He gave a short
history of it and I he countries
where it is found. When first discovered no one had any use for it.
Sir Francis Drake saw the Indians
bouncing something. He took it
back to England where, they tried
to make cloth of it but were unsuccessful. Priestly found that it
erased a pencil mark, hence the
name rubber, its original name being catchue, Later England made
use of the material for coating
cloth, being unable to use it for the
cloth itself. Macintosh first discovered this use — hence, the name
of our raincoats. It came to New
England with the pilgrims — who
found that in summer it became
soft and in winter
hardened and
cracked. Good v ear in playing witli
it, tossed it accidently on the stove,
where to his surnrise it hardened

'the tltircl play is in a light, fantastic vein, The authors of " The

name it, The play deals with the
love affair of Harlequin (Mary
Grahn) and Columbine (.Alicia Ballaglij. It is through I'uchinello,
an old peddler (Alyfanwy Williams) that the two are brought
together. To Columbine he gives
a magic slipper which has the
power of attracting love. Columbine finds that he is telling the
truth, for she no sooner puts on
the slipper than the old peddler
begins making violent love to her.
Later he sells Harlequin a wonder
