To Give Special Program Here To-night
Varsity To Meet
St. Michaels' Team
The Purple and Gold court five will
play its third game of this season tomorrow night in the college gym at 8
o'clock, with St. Michael's College varsity from VVinooski Park, Vermont.
There will be a preliminary game by
Milne High school.
Following its two contests with Union
and Brooklyn Law, State had intensive
practice this week and to-morrow night's
tilt is looked upon as a lively contest.
Student tax tickets will admit students
and there will be dancing after the
game.
Coach Baker is well pleased with the
results of the week's work and looks
for good things from the squad. The
coach has inaugurated a two team system, whereby the varsity and a "B"
team both work out with the same signals and any member of the second
squad can step into the other lineup or
the whole team can go in at once.
College students will occupy special
sections of the bleachers which have been
moved from Ridgcfield park to the gym.
Another large crowd of rooters is
looked for. Last week's game brought
forth a crowd of State'students as big
as that which attended any home game
last season.
Carol Sing Tuesday
The annual carol sing by which State's
student body marks its entrance into the
magical spirit of Christmas, will be held
Tuesday, December 16, in the college
auditorium, at eight fifteen. To facilitate hearty response by students and
visitors, booklets containing the traditional carols to be sung, will be on sale
at the door for the nominal price of
five cents.
Special features will include the rendition of a carol composed by Caesar
Franck, by a picked chorus. At this
time the mixed chorus will make its
first appearance, and with a small echo
chorus will sing a selection from seventeenth century carols.
Mr. John Dick, baritone soloist of
St. Paul's Church, will sing two numbers : "Gesu Bambino," by Yon, and
"An Old Sacred Lullaby," by Corner.
There will be no charge for admission;
the public is especially invited to attend.
CLAIM HISTORY BOOK
Miss Cobb wishes to announce that
a copy of Adam's "Growth of the
French Nation" has been left at the college library. It is obviously the property of some library, but it cannot be
located as belonging to any Albany collection. Will some commuter please
claim it for his or her home library?

PROTECT REP CITATION
OF STATE
Unfortunate little incidents have occurred from time to time which makes
us wonder whether State College will
ever be ready for an honor system. Wo
talk of traditions and honor, of respecting others' rights and trusting one another—and then something happens
which proves to us that our talk is of
no avail. Lockers have' to he locked
and purses miraculously disappear. It
is tin fortunate that, through the actions
of a few individuals, the reputation of
the college in general suffers. The old
adage that a chain is no stronger than
its weakest link might apply here. The
student body, as a whole, wants State
College to be' vital in all its parts, and
surely, it will'do all in its power to sec
that "the chain has no weak links."
"THE STORY OF STATE"
Four-fifths of a century of progress,
from a normal school to a state college,
will be ended by State College, Thursday.
A student body which has grown from
29 to 1,050, and' which may expand to
2,500, if the new building appropriations
are granted by the state, will witness the
progress of those eighty years. To-day
the News begins'-'"The Story of State,''
a tale of those eighty years. Those who
wish to learn- about the humble beginnings from which • the Alma Mater
sprung, should not fail to read it.
ART LECTURE EDUCATIONAL
An art lecture, on the making of
different kinds of etchings, was given
to-day in assembly, by Miss Perinc.
The talk was based ou the exhibition of
pictures bung on • the walls in the
rotunda, for the last two weeks, and
was illustrated by lantern slides.
Miss Ferine has given a talk to members of the Albany High School Art
Chapter, which'met'in Room 208, Wednesday noon, December 10.

PHILADELPHIA RECEIVES
TAPESTRY FROM FRANCE
The French government recently
presented to the city of Philadelphia
a Gobelin tapestry after the painting
by Jaulmes, "The 'Departure of the
American Troops for the War." fl
represents the departure of an American -regiment
from
Philadelphia.
Independence'frail may be seen in the
background, while the Star and Stripes
float overhead. This tapestry was
given in testimony of France's gratitude to the city of Philadelphia.
To become an "Artiste Tapissier" at
the Gobelins,, a national institution,
one must pass a course of instruction
in the Gobelin School and then serve
two years apprenticeship in the studios
before being allowed lo try his hand
on one of (lie large looms.
Visitors may inspect the workshops
in Paris one afternoon a week. It is
interesting to note that this antique
handcraft of France still uses the same
looms that served in the days of Louis
XIV.
CHARLOTTE LOEB,
Professor of French.
ENGAGEMENT ANNOUNCED

the Y. VV. Bazaar was well under way.
The class tables, decorated with class
colors, and bright with dainty and colorful objects, formed a circle in (lie center

the various other booths. Miss Scotland
and Miss Wallace, dressed all in while,
smiled above a counter heaped with
delicious pies and cakes. Ethel DtiBols

the Chinese laundry, lacked only the
traditional pigtail. Ruth Maynard sold

"Heart Balm" Scandal May Climax With
Wedded Bliss, Says Roberts' Friends
Has whoever threw a monkey wrench
into the machinery o[ Bemice Quinn's
romance with Lylc Roberts relented and
begun pouring lubricating oils on the
troubled waters of their friendship?
Was the "victory" gained by hired servants of the Roberts' millions last Friday
in the $25,000 "heart balm" suit won
only to be lost by the rebirth of Roberts'
alleged interest in the beautiful junior?
Is it so that Roberts wants to marry
the girl who sought to mulct him of
some of his family's vaunted wealth with
himself in the role of a cat's-paw?
To-day it was charged that the
Roberts family's pecuniary influence had
not been entirely quiescent during the
development of the trial.
Adrian
Johnson, counsel for Miss Quirih, who
professes to know nothing of the
rumored romance, indicated that evidence
of corruption among at least two of the
jurors is in his possession and that he
may demand a retrial. Failing in that,
he indicated, he may carry the case to
a higher court.
Found last night, Roberts declared
that, rumors to the contrary, "everything
is off between me and IJernicc." He
refused to enlarge upon his statement
and would not discuss whether he had
communicated with Miss Quinn since the
trial.
Told of the whispers regarding a reconciliation, Miss Quinn said:
"The next person that mentions Roberts' name to me is going to be obliterated. He is out of my life forever.
The trial has shown there is no justice."
It was a scene of pathos and of neartragedy that marked the last day of
the trial. Spectators, reporters, cameramen, were crowded in the courtroom,
all eager to learn whether the yawning maw of prison gates would swallow up the boy whose twenty-one
years had been spent in the a'tmosSOPHOMORES VICTORS
The sophomores made their redebute Monday, December 8, by
astonishing the seniors with a 12-1
score at the end of the first quarter.
With genuine teamwork the green and
white led its elder sisters a merry pace.
That this was an unusually rapid
game was proven by the necessity of
constantly changing the line-up. The
sophomores were favored in the final
score of 34-16.

phere of luxury that only multiinillillions can buy.
On the bench was Judge Hutchison,
cold, austere, his gaze keeping silence in
the ribald crowd. Within the railing
were the attorneys, Godfrey, skilled in
defending rich malefactors, methodical,
imperturbable, His manner gave little
warning of the emotional storm which
was to sweep the jury off its feet, aided,
as it is now charged, by greenback arguments. A yard away sat Johnson,
just out of law school, a young man on
his first real case. At his side and frequently engaging ill whispered conversations was Miss Quinn. Roberts was
late arriving. He came into court wearing a gray lounge suit, a blue necktie,
and blue hose. His attitude seemed
changed as he awaited the final plea from
that which he had earlier assumed. He
affected a bored air and seemed only
mildly interested while newspaper photographers took flashlight pictures of him
from several angles. This was managed
by permission from the court who also
consented to let the jury pose.
Godfrey threw logic to the winds as
he launched into his final effort for his
client. Disregarding Roberts' riches he
painted in heartrending terms the story
of his early struggles for an education.
He dwelt upon the prisoner's extreme
youth. He told how he had once been
awarded a prize for attendance at Sunday school. He ended his appeal amid
sobs from the women among the spectators and the nine lady jurors. He
quoted several stanzas of poetry, and
when the sweet chimes of the period bell
put an end to his discourse, he said:
"We rest our case."
That was Wednesday. Friday came
the verdict. Roberts was free. Day
before yesterday came Johnson's charge
of corruption. Yesterday brought the
story of the rebirth of the blighted romance. Will to-day hear the sound of
