be Barrett, Gillen, Simmons, Peattie, Casler, Paris, and Day.
Aside from Potter's surprising
.stand against the Albanians Wednesday, little besides Tuesday's subzero weather featured the week's
action. College House, led by Barney Tuttle's fine play, moved from
last place into a third place tie.
They recorded a 2-0 victory over
Potter club and a 13-0 score against
Kappa Beta on Wednesday. The
baseball score of the Potter game
was the result of an automatic
safety.
Tuesday's icy weather was not at
all conducive to good play and the
only feature of that day's action
was the first tie recorded in the
.season's play. The evenly matched
Robin hall and Avalon-Spencer
teams played a 13-13 tie. Sprowls,
Buhner, and Ellis were Avalon
standouts, while Archer and Busacker .showed to advantage for

rounds Into the homestretch, present indications seem to point to
Monday's KDR-Albanian battle as
the decisive game of the season.
Both these teams, unbeaten in two
seasons—we don't recall when KDR
was last scored upon—seem too
powerful for the rest of the teams
remaining on their schedules; so
the championship of the '39 season
should hinge upon their meeting.
On the basis of respective play so
far this year, KDR seems to be the
more powerful outfit.
Their offensive record is much better. They
have scored at least three touchdowns per game so far, and defensively have not had their goal
crossed this season. The Albanians
have had several narrow squeaks,
a 7-6 win over Avalon-Spencer and
a tie game last Wednesday with an
aggressive Potter Club team. However, if the breaks go their way Monday and the boys have a good day.
the Albanians could take this one.
However, signs point to a KDR victory and another championship and
a successful defense of their title.

plenty of hits with their archery
tournament program. Of the fifteen persons out for archery credit,
seven are participating in the tournament. The captains are using
the Junior Columbia Round for
tournament shooting. In this type
of round the contestants shoot four
ends (which means something like
a quiverfuli of six arrows each,
first from a distance of forty feet,
then thirty, then twenty feet. At
this writing Grace Moon leads the
meet with 247 points, closely followed by Marion Keables who has
amassed 243 points.
Incidental Intelligence: the gold
circle in the middle of the regulation target nets nine points; the
red circle, seven points; blue, five;
black, three; white, one. The black
"petticoat" surrounding the whole
target is a consolation prize—no
score! Maybe you can figure out
from the foregoing how many bull's

so far.

The juniors overwhelmed a motley touch football squad of seniors
for a 19-13 victory to start the afternoon off. In the second event
of the afternoon, a combination
team of juniors and freshmen defeated the senior-sophomore squad
in an exhibition hockey game.
By this time, the verdant freshmen, enthused by their hockey victory, had organized themselves into a lively cheering section but their
cheers died out as the sophomore
women opened rivalry by breezing
through a relay race in record time
as the crowd waited impatiently for
the men to unleash their barbarian
brutality for the cause of two points.
The yearlings' spirits rose again as
they hopped their way to an easy
victory for the potato sack point.
However, the sophomores surged
ahead again as they came across
the finish line first in the three
legged race.
Finally the much awaited hour
arrived as MAA officials rolled out
the six foot ball (which has become egg-shaped since last year).
After some more delay the game
began, only to provide the biggest
surprise of the afternoon as the
sophomores, almost without opposition, scored in less than two minutes of play. Before the verdant
freshmen, looking even greener than
ever, could recover from the shock
of the first attack, the sophs pushed
over another goal. In another minute and a half, the sophs rolled
over a third tally to put thwn ahead
10-0.
At this time the freshmen
caught the idea of the game and
finally fought their way into sophomore territory giving them their
lone three points of the game. The
sophs scored again in the middle
of the second half.
Results of ten minutes of gruelling play were: score—23-3 In favor of sophs; casualties—three freshmen; aftermath—forty tired carcasses and two more points for the
class of '42, who now lead rivalry

J. R. MrAdd ambiguities: our statement
of last week in which we voiced
our opinion that Intramural council's paid official system is hardly
consistent with the aims of Intramural sports.
Many misconstrued our comment
to be a scathing attack on the operation of Intramural council and
the men involved, which It most
definitely was not.
Actually no hidden meaning was
tucked away in its phrasing. Our
innocent remark carried nothing
beyond a lamenting that student
interest falls short of producing
free, voluntary officiating at intramural contests.
From the State School of Agriculture at Morrisville conies word
that the cross-country team with
which the Statesmen are booked
to clash tomorrow has copped two
of its three meets thus far this
season. The Aggies have downed
the Colgate frosh twice, while once
falling prey to the Syracuse yearling squad.
Last Saturday's cross-country trot
with the Delhi Soil-tillers taxed
the capacity of Washington park
with a record high attendance of
twenty-five, including both teams
and the usual run of neighborhood
kids. We pass on to Louis Francello a suggestion made to us: that
a running course be laid out with
the finishing stretch somewhere on
the campus.
Of interest to all should be the

Delhi Captures First Three
Positions As Teachers
Lose Initial Meet
State's cross-country team takes
to the road tomorrow and Journeys
to Morrisville where It will engage
the Aggies in the second meet of
the season for the Teachers. The
contest last year was won by the
Morrisville club by a score of 2332. This meet was run in a driving
rainstorm which turned the Washington park course Into a mud-hole.
Last Saturday, the Purple and
Gold began the current season by
losing to Delhi 21-34. Delhi placed
men in the first, second, and third
places. This close placing made a
big difference in the final result.
The first State runner to finish was
Gene Agnello who took fourth
place. He was followed closely by
Bob Cooke, who clinched the number five spot. Frank Hansen and
Lou Francello captured seventh and
eighth positions. Manley took the
last position by placing tenth.
Slow Time
The time for this meet over a
short 2.4 mile course was a slow
17:33. Last season, the record for
the 3.4 course was set at 17:20.
The first showing of the season
had several bright spots which glimmered through all the gloom of defeat.
Gene Agnello's finishing fourth
to lead the Statesmen was not too
surprising. Gene has been running
in great form during all of the trial
runs. The Injury to his feet has
apparently healed and he will prove
a big asset to the team. Cooke and
Hansen lived up to previous expectations.
Bob captured the fifth
spot easily. Hansen uncorked a
brilliant spurt to nose out the Delhi man who was threatening both
Francello and him. Although Francello finished far down, it Is logical
to expect much better running from
him. All of the men expect to run
better on a longer course of 3.8 over
which all the remaining meets will
be run.
To Meet Alfred
Next week, State's squad will
journey to Alfred where the Purple
and Gold will attempt to avenge
last year's 36-19 defeat.

Graduates Elect
Foley President
Extensive Social Program
Include* Bridge Club,
Dances, Athletics
For the first time in recent years,
the graduate students of State college have organized themselves into
a class comparable to the class organizations of the undergraduate
body. At a meeting on Wednesday, October 18, Joseph Foley was
chosen president of the class. Other
officers are: vice-president, Anne
Brown; secretary, Jean Dusenbury;
and treasurer, Thomas Casey.
The class had its second dance
last night in the Commons of Hawley hall and plan to have some sort
of gathering every two weeks thus
giving it a more extensive social
program than that of any of the
undergraduate classes.
As last year, the male students
will enter the intra-mural program
of MAA with both a basketball and
softball team. Many of the graduates are looking forward to the
sports program and "hope to do as
well or better than last year" when
they were the top team in the basketball league. Dennis Peper, '39,
is the athletic director of the graduates. They plan to play the winner of the touch football league.
Among the other activities, a bridge
club will be formed and the graduates will be able to participate in
a number of tournaments.
With 169 students in the class
plans have been made for what the
graduate students term, "a banner
year socially for the too often neglected graduate students." The aim
of the class is to bring the graduates
closer to the under-graduates who
generally regard them as outsiders.
The social committee will be a
revolving one to include every member of the class some time during
the year.
Miss Moreland, dean of students,
Dr. Belk, professor of education,
and Mr. Bulger, personnel director,
are faculty advisors for the class.

of proper regulations, to prohibit
the practice of dirty playing In intramural games.
Secondly, I suggest that Intramural council get together and make
a few rules regarding the refereeing
of the games. Make the referees
more strict in their calling of fouls
and as a whole, make the elastic
six-man football rules more definite
and specific so that the referee will
be able to point to a definite rule
when he makes his decisions.

Symphony Orchestra
To Present Concert
The State college symphony orchestra, now In its second season,
is planning to present a concert as
one of the assembly programs in the
near future, possibly before the
Christmas vacation. The selections
for the program have not been chosen as yet, but they will be picked
from numbers now being rehearsed.
Started by the class of 1942, t h e ;
symphony orchestra, a student project from the start, has been recognized by the student body and
Music council, and has been allotted a sum of $100 in its budget.
It is hoped that the orchestra
may accompany the chorus in its
spring concert when it presents
Bonn Godounov. However, the orchestration is foreign, and there is
some doubt as to whether it can be
secured at a reasonable price.
Later in the year, the orchestra
will present a concert of its own in
an evening program.

At a recent meeting of the Pedagogue board, William Brophy, '41,
was elected business manager to

has resigned. The new advertising

Cappiello Will Again Direct
Most Important Affair
of Senior Class
To Play Both Sweet and Swing Music Tonight
To the swishing of new gowns
and the crackle of stiff shirts,
the seniors will "hop" tonight;
"hop" to the solid swing and sentlmentalism of Len Fennell and
his following of "jive" specialists.
From all indications based on past
performances, the class of 1940
will enjoy Its dancing to the
utmost.
Fennell brandishes a baton biweekly at the George F. Pavilion In Johnson City where such
bands as Glenn Miller of "serenade" fame, Tommy Dorsey,
who tackles a trombone hard
and low, and Artie Shaw who
"began the Begulne," have lately
seen service.
With constant playing the Fennell outfit has become a well
organized group which plays with
the precision of a forty dollar
micrometer. According to latest
reports by Santi Porcino, '39,
who heard him last week, Fen-

"I Can't Give You Anything But

A bit of human interest has
found its way into the band in
the form of one Al Brlnkman, a
sightless pianist, who gives a
performance that ranks with the
best. Tamer Aswad sweetens up
the sentimental sendouts in a
mellow baritone voice of the Kenny Sargent type.
The seniors are presenting an
orchestra whose music will be
"running through your mind"
"day In and day out" for some
time to come.
State SCA Council
To Convene Friday
The class of 1940 will open State's
social season tonight when it
presents the traditional Senior Hop
on the Hotel Ten Eyck Roof Garden. Dancing will be from 10:00
to 2:00 o'clock to the rhythm of
Len Fennell and his Binghamton
band.
Reserve Dance Floor
Joseph Cappiello, who has had
charge of the class of '40's Junior
Prom and Sophomore Soiree, promises that this year's hop will be
both a social and financial success as is evident from the advance
sale of tickets and general enthusiasm. In previous years, the affair
has been conducted at the Aurania
club at much higher rates.
Refreshments will be served before intermission which will be from
12:00 to 12:30 o'clock.
Arrangements have been made to reserve
the dance floor for those couples
attending the hop. The ballroom
decorations will feature the class of
'40's banner and the class colors
of yellow and white.
