Young Women's Christian association
i will begin with the showing of
motion pictures of the 1035 confere n c e mi Thursday at -1:10 o'clock,
; in room 151 of Busted hall. Kay

I many nf them in technicolor.
A

State
Defeated
Brooklyn
Poly
During The N e w York Trip
By Score Of 32-29
Tonight State college will be host
on the Page hall court to a team
from New York, Brooklyn Polytechnic
institute, who were defeated by the
Purple and Gold on the New York
trip by the close score of 32 to 29.
Brooklyn Poly handed State the only
defeat suffered last season, and the
(Joewey squad is out to make a sweep
of this year's series.
Brooklyn Poly brings a veteran
team to State with the exception of
last year's captain. Dilg, a forward,
who went well here last winter, is
hoping to duplicate the 13 points he
made here.
The other
forward,
Walter, scored 15 points in the New
York game this year and is a marked
man tonight. Poly uses either the
zone or man to man defense, depending on the opponents' offense or
court. Last year the zone defense
worked the best of the two defenses.
The Poly offense is the fast break
with the two forwards constantly cutling from side to side similar to the
old State offense. As far as is known,
Brooklyn Poly has had an average
season.
The State team, shattered by injuries, will put the best team available, which is still a good basketball
team, against Brooklyn Poly. John
Ryan is definitely lost for this contest because his ankle has not respnnded to treatment. The patrons
arc looking for Captain Bancroft to
return to his usual good form to work
with Margison and Welter. Concerning weigh! and height, State measures
up favorably with Poly. A State victory tonight would tally more wins
than losses for this semester.

State Freshmen are out lo avenge a
defeat suffered at the hands of the
Rensselaer High school at Rensselaer
early in the season.

A determined effort to revise the present point system
is now under way by the Point System Revision Committee. Those who now hold some office have already
received a questionnaire asking for their opinions of the
activities and the worth of their particular offices.
This action of basing the value of a position on the
amount of work it requires instead of the prestige that
g o o with it will do much to make the system more sensible and effective. Many of the lower offices that do not
carry the title of the higher positions entail considerably
more work but fewer points. It is possible for a student
to load himself up with extra-curricular affairs that will
definitely work a hardship on him and his college work.
To those who have received the questionnaire is sent
an appeal to cooperate with the Committee in its research work by promptly handing in their answers, I t
U hoped t h a t a revised schedule may be presented to
the student association for adoption and approval before
Easter, b u t before any strictly fair and unbiased table
can be compiled, the opinions of the office holders must
be received.
I t is essential for next y e a r ' s student council to have
this revised system by Movlng-up Day if it is to take
immediate action on office-holders. Delayed action this
year has only further proven the ineffectiveness of the
present system.
An article containing additional information of the
activities of the Committee and the content of the questionnaire will be found elsewhere in this issue of the

I F TENOR Joseph Bentonelli ever gets into the
*• movies, as he conceivably might, he can set the
acript writers to work on hit own life. A t die University of Oklahoma he was a member of the glee club.
He took a degree; then studied under Jean de Reszke,
peerless among teachers. Like.all standard movie
operatic tenors, he went to Italy for further study.
There plain Joe Benton, Oklahoma, U. S. A., became
Joseph Bentonelli.
He
made a debut at Bologna,
beard the applause of leal'
ians, and returned to the
United States to plod forward for the Big Chance.
He sane in Philadelphia,
but the first electric moment came in Chicago. He
was asked to substitute for
Mario Chamlee in Manon
in the Chicago Opera
House. The house echoed
to its ornate rafters. BenBrntonelli in Manon.
tonelli auditioned at the
Metropolitan in N e w York, and was put on the wait'
ing list. It chanced that be was in Director Tenor
Edward Johnson's office when word came that Richard Crooks was too ill to sing in Manon the next
night. Bentonelli. became insistent, poured out an
aria from Manon, and sang himself into the role. The
Met debut was a triumph. Add love interest to all
this, and Joe Benton of Oklahoma is set for the movies.
'THE STORY has it that Jack Major, now goodenough to appear on both networks as a singer,
once was good enough to outwit Irvin S. Cobb on a
Kentucky golf course. A rascally caddy, he pocketed
Cobb's golf balls when they fell into the rough; then
sold them back to the humorist. Cobb discovered the
trickery, but had taken a liking to the bright youngster
who had learned through necessity to live by his wits.
Under maturer guidance.
Jack joined the Y. M. C. A.
and a church.
When the church's minister took a teaching job at
Rice Institute, he brought
Jack along to college. Irvin
S. Cobb paid the bills.
Like Joe Bentonelli, Jack
sang in the college glee
club, but he had no aspirations toward the classical.
When a local theater manager asked him to whistle, yodel, and sing on a local
stage, he did so with alacrity. The encouragement he
received induced him to leave college. Now he
whistles, yodels, and sings over two networks, and
has received his state's conventional, if monotonous
blessing by being created a Kentucky colonel.

Smoking Camels Found to Ease
the Strain and Promote Weil-Being
Life gets more complex. The pace
grows faster. Where do we see the
effects? Frequently on digestion, so
often overtaxed by the busy whirl!
Smoking Camels has been established as a definite aid in promoting
good digestion. Turn to Camels
yourself. They have a mildness that
never grows tiresome. Make smoking Camels part of your daily life,
and see how much more zest you
have for smoking and how your
digestion is measurably improved.
Camels set you right!

Florida students, cursed
with eight o'clocks three times a week, have devised this
unusual alarm system. Co'inventor Frank Atkinson
described it thus: "It consists of a large brass crash
cymbal hung from the ceiling and a hammer and a bedspring mechanism for crashing it. The device is set by
placing the weighted ink bottle attached to the string
behind the clock. A lever arm attached to the clock
pushes the weight through a hole in the base, thereby
tripping the trigger that does the dirty work. The business administration student in the adjoining room who
has ten o'clock classes vigorously protests its effective'

Syracuse, with Soudermnn, tho
6' 6" center, getting the tap, had little
or no difficulty in running the score
up to 16 to 4 in the first ton minutes
before the varsity was removed.
S t a t e ' s points were made by Margison
and Bancroft.
A bit of humor was enacted when
the ball rolled under the boxing ring
and four managers dressed in white
crawled under the ring to retrieve it.
The new Syracuse men continued to
run the score up on a nervous State
team. Baliusky was the keyman on
this offense.
Dick Margison on a
cross-over was fed the ball by Bancroft for S t a t e ' s last points in the
half which gave a Syracuse 30 to 8
lead.
Plans for Alumnae week-end are

The second half saw Syracuse put
the first team in again. State showed
a reversal of form now. Instead of
playing Syracuse, they were playing
another basketball game. The passes
were better and tho movements of tho
men were surer. Syracuse was surprised by this " n e w " team that gave
them sucli opposition. First one team
and then the other would get possession of the ball only to lose the ball
as the thrust was made for the basket.

Syracuse 80,
Basketeers Score Victory Friday
Over Massachusetts Team
B y 51-30 Score
Tho State college basketball team
gave tho patrons a scare last Friday
on the Page hall court before downing Bridgewater State Teachers collego from Massachusetts 51 to 30.
State started the first of the many
(5) gnmos without the needed service
of Jerry Amyot, due to a chipped
finger joint. Bancroft sank two foul
shots and this constituted the State
score for the first ten minutes.
Bridgewater Teachers adapted their
attack to our court and worked up a
12 to 2 lead with Long dominating
the play. Two players were injured
in this rally. J. Ryan was forced to
leave the game because of an injured
ankle. Long injured his right arm
and shoulder when ho tripped over
Bancroft's leg to slide into the
bleechers.
With Long out, Bridgewater bogged
down while State, paced by Margison
and Bancroft, ran up twelve points.
Dick Margison made two clean buckets on passes from Bancroft. Duke
fed Bancroft a long pass to the side
of the court which he converted. The
small crowd did not know what to expect in the second half because of the
erratic showing in this half, which
gave State 14 to Bridgewater's 12.
As the second half opened, the
Purple and Gold continued the play
shown late In the first half. Bancroft
and Margison continued to click and
Welter also began to figure in the
offense. From Welter's tap until a
forward sank the ball, State had possession of the ball almost continuously. Welter had two overhead shots
from the comer in this rally. Neither
Bancroft nor Margison had spectacular shots, but their harmony in cuting, passing, and feinting until one
or tho other sank a basket were a joy
to behold.
State replacements began to appear
in the line-up when the Purple and
Gold had a 34-17 lend. Whether the
replacements were " c o l d " or norvous, the fact remains that Bridgewater came on with a Burge to trail
by 28 to 30. The regulars could not
be saved for the game the next night
against Syracuse but they had to go
to work again.
Bridgewater was
stopped in their tracks while State
put on another show for the gallery.
This rally became a farce with no one
ou Bridgewater aide to stop Bancroft
from making eight points in five minutes and yet give good " f e e d s " to
Margison on his cut-backs. The final
score was State 61, Bridgewater State
Teachers 30.
