Last Friday night the men's b a s ketball team scored a r u n - a w a y 6321 victory over a hopelessly outclassed girl team. T h e girls did have
t h e lead a t one time, they scored the
first basket of the game. From t h a t
point on it was merely a question of
how high t h e score would go.

Easy Day
T h e fact t h a t the girls were lucky
enough to score t h e first basket
seemed to act as a starter for the
m e n . They waltzed by t h e guards
a n d sunk basket after basket. By t h e
end of" t h" e quarter the tally stood a t
18-5 in favor of the men, a n d the
half time score was 37-15.
T h e third quarter was a complete
rout with the girls on the receiving
end. T h e y were helpless to stop the
feints a n d fast dribbles of the h a r d c h a r g i n g males. Several times Dickinson went the length of the floor
without a serious a t t e m p t to stop
him. T h e third q u a r t e r found the
men tickling the twine for 21 points.
T h e best t h e girls could do was two.
Three's Enough
In the fourth a n d last quarter the
guys had a stroke of pity. Instead
of playing the conventional five,
m a n a g e r Phil L a s h i n s k y sent out
only three. With this advantage the
girls scored only four points to five
for t h e men. This brought the score
up to the final count of 63-21.
High scoring honors fov the men
went to Dickinson with 15. T h e best
for the girls was seven by Mary
Seymour.
-by AN U N P R E J U D I C E D FEMALEIn a well-fought, hotly contested
etc., basketball game last Friday, t h e
unbelievable happened. T h e women
of S t a t e lost their FIRST game of
the e n t i r e season to t h e men of
State.
It is r u m o r e d t h a t the only r e a son t h e fellows m a n a g e d to conquer
was t h e fact t h a t they were allowed
to play with only three men against
five girls. Formerly, they had been
tripping all over themselves but with
the smaller team they h a d less
trouble.
It was evident even to an u n informed spectator t h a t the girls far
outclassed their opponents.
The
score m a y be explained by t h e Fact

been more effective, if it lived up lo

when it came to form. Their cooperation was amazing.
It h a s been shown that the girls
came out on to]) in class, elusiveness,

only point the men topped them in
was the score. Our conclusion is t h a t
the girls were the intellectual, moral
and aesthetic victors. How do the

" 'Till We Meet Again
..."
A girl and a boy in love—a trench
a n d a h u r t l i n g bombshell—blackouts
a n d t h o u s a n d s of miles of o c e a n S t a t e t h e n . . . and now . . .
I n an a t t e m p t to sidestep the slapstick comedy acts of former m o n t h s ,
t h e Sophomore class is presenting as
its "Big T e n " a musical in seven
scenes—scenes t h a t touch both the
poignantly sad a n d t h e gloriously
h a p p y memories of S t a t e as t h e
servicemen knew it before the war.
T h i s musical which will be held in
Page Hall on April 29 at 8:15 P.M.
will be composed of t h e most beautiful and reminiscent songs of the
past few years.
After the reading of the dedication
by Arlene Polsky, the first scene,
"All the Things You Are," will begin
t h e evening's performance. " E m braceable You," Scene I I I is a highly
amusing anecdote of S t a t e College
life in 1944. Both Dr. J. Allan Hicks,
Professor of Education and a youngster from Milne will aid the Sophomore cast in this scene.
T h e beloved blackface chorus will
frolic gaily through scene IV, entitled
"Rufus
Rastus
Johnson
B r o w n " for this is the scene wherein
m u c h of the rich h u m o r of the
musical is concentrated.
J u s t as most college girls hnve a
t h e m e song all their own—a song
t h a t causes lonely tears and h e a r t break when the m a n she loves is
overseas—so "My Shining Hour" becomes the theme song of the young
a n d very real heroine.

The Great Delusion
It is a strange philosophy to which we of today
lay claim: a heterogeneous mixture of substitution,
"carpe diem," and memories. Only those whose
rose-colored glasses have failed to splinter amid
today's "cry havoc" still hold fast to a phantom
star they fondly call destiny, but which is nothing
more than hope and belief in some satisfactory
future.
We who are in college today are the leading exponents of this so-called philosophy. So completely
and mercilessly have we twisted and distorted the
fundamentals laid down by Socrates and Plato that
we hesitate to place our code definitely in such
an honorable branch of the arts.
Today's thought clutches desperately at each
and every attempt, however pitiful, to mask the
stark truths that surround us. Today's thought
holds fas I to the "wine and song" credo of the
revered Omar. Today's thought falls fondly back
upon the dear, dead past; spasmodically dreams of
renaissance, and sinks back into the bittersweet
fog of memory. Today's thought is fickle. Is it,
can it possibly be, the accepted mental process we
have always known?
No single person, indeed probably no minority,
could swing this mass of confused idea into a recognizable path leading to some firmly formulated purpose. Somewhere, sometime, this adolescent brainchild of half a world will grow up, will ga/e around
at its environment. Whether the knowledge that
will then come will be sickening or not can depend
only on how long the awakening takes. And certainly
there is no one who can tell how long we can
safety sleep,
There is now, as there has always been, a certain
inexorable knowledge, for just as surely as there
was a point of time 24 hours ago, so will there be
one 24 hours from now. Vet with this knowledge
comes also the uncertainty of our continued existence. Should we then tell ourselves "Take Today!"?
When have we ever known for certain that for us
tomorrow will come?
Never. V'el at the same time, humanity has bad
visions and has taken steps that those visions might
take on concrete form, Only thus has there been
progress, ll is ironic indeed, that the heroic efforts
of mankind should today result in twisted and motley theories that we fondly dub "philosophy."
The basic things have not changed. There is
still life, and death, and lime. It is true that the
inter-relationship of these three great elements has
changed. Change is natural; it encroaches upon us
as the sea upon the earth.
We are the earth, and to our inalienable rights
we have the power to adhere. Hut also like the
earth, we can accept change gracefully, and, if the
change is true advancement, gratefully. The next
few ytars, in the unique combination-roles of actors
and spectators, we shall see the struggle and the
results.

"Oh, d e a r ! W h a t did Mother
and F a t h e r do when there was
no P r a n k S i n a t r a ? "
" T h e y went to see Rudolf Valentino, of course!"
Yes, t h e P r a n k S i n a t r a of t h e
"lost" last generation, t h e great
Valentino, will appear next F r i day night a t 8:15 P.M. in Page
Hall in the "Song of the Sheik"!
Preferring t h e modern doublefeature to t h e old-fashioned play,
the senior class of Milne has d e cided to present a revival of two
old favorite cinemas.
T h e other picture on the evening's bill Is "Topper Takes A
T r i p " s t a r r i n g Roland Young and
Constance Bennett, a show t h a t
caused m a n y varied comments in
the Broadway Press when it made
its debut.
F o r k an admission ticket costing only t h i r t y - e i g h t cents, all
the children of 1926 or thereabouts, may cast an eye of dutiful
worship on the adored ravisher,

Umpire The Game Sunday
Bert Klley
T h e soldier h u n c h e d his shoulders
a g a i n s t t h e r a i n . His toes curled
unconsciously against t h e cold d a m p ness seeping t h r o u g h his sodden
boots. I t seemed t h a t h e h a d been
forever on t h a t hill, crouching in
t h e m u d behind a wall t h a t h a d
once been a terraced farm.
The
G e r m a n s were spasmodically sending over a few shells. He would h e a r
t h e whee-ee a n d fall into t h e foxhole h e h a d dug by t h e wall. Sometimes t h e explosions pelted h i m With
mud.
T h e r e h a d n ' t been a n y shells over
for quite a while. Over to t h e right,
h e could h e a r the m o r t a r s r h y t h m ically c r u n c h i n g away. An airplane
roared low overhead. Looking up, h e
saw t h e eternal grey a n d smudgy
black of the rain clouds. Absently,
h e began to h u m . He sang softly
a n old half-forgotten tune. . . .
"Somewhere over t h e rainbow, way
up high . . ."
A glow c a m e slowly over him. T h e
muscles, tense from t h e s t r a i n a n d
cold relaxed.
" . . . there's a l a n d t h a t I d r e a m e d
of, once In a lullaby . . . "
T h e pencil of memory flicked over
h i s brain cells, back to the s u m m e r
of 1939. He was sitting in front of
his t e n t ; t h e sun was sinking behind
a row of pines to t h e west, salmon
clouds s t r e t c h i n g delicate t h r e a d s
across t h e sky; from t h e portable
radio c a m e t h e voices of Fred
W a r i n g ' s Glee Club singing . . . .
" S o m e w h e r e over t h e rainbow, bluebirds fly . . . "
Somehow t h e peace of the scene
r e a c h e d out t h r o u g h t h e chemistry
of t h e old melody reacting on his
m e m o r y . He saw a g a i n t h e lake In
t h e w a r m , almost palpable calm of
sundown, He saw the little white
triangles of the sailboats slowly
weaving far up t h e lake. He h e a r d
t h e mournful "quawk" of a flight of
herons as they swung along in the
gloom of t h e western range of hills.
1939—just before t h e war started—
a convertible purring along a country
road, t h e gang t h a t used to go on
t h e h o t dog roasts, t h e steady t h u m p
of the waves against the hull of his
speed-boat. He smiled a n d continued h u m m i n g , lost in the nostalgia
of the revery.
He
didn't
hear
the
warning
whistle. T h e explosion lore up the
wall about ten feet from him. A flying brick struck him in t h e face . . .
He lay in a hospital. His s h a t t e r e d
nose no longer pained him, but a
heavy ache in the back of his h e a d
throbbed steadily.
" T h a t lousy song—" ho thought.
"Well I suppose I c a n ' t blame It on
t h e song. I t was Just plain foolishness to be clay d r e a m i n g with J e r r y
throwing shells a t me . . . Well, I
guess t h a t ' s w h a t h a p p e n s when
you go moping around d r e a m i n g of
a jolly little past,. Maybe if I'd been
fighting then like I a m now It. would
never have got me. I guess we're
going to have to keep fighting In one
way or a n o t h e r on this pebble. I
wonder how much I could gel lor

1944--We Hang From
W A A Reveals
Subway Straps As Snow Swirls Spring Program
Boy-o-boy, we said gleefully, as
we planned our Spring vacation in
the best s p o r t s ' page tradition. Visions of long hikes, bicycle rides,
picnics, a n d o t h e r h e a l t h y outdoor
activities danced before our eyes.
So,
bright a n d early our first
morning h o m e , we d o n n e d
our
snow-suit, e a r - m u f f s a n d fur-lined
stadium boots a n d armed with a
determined look set out to indulge
In some S p r i n g sports.
After building two r a t h e r puny
snowmen we retired to our h o t water bottles a n d lemonade for several days.
Our first a t t e m p t a t a picnic r e sulted in a dismal failure.
Our
sandwiches froze solid a n d even t h e
a n t s wisely r e m a i n e d in h i b e r n a t i o n .
However, we h a v e one a c c o m p lishment of which we a r e justly
proud. We w e n t through t h e s u b ways a t four o'clock on a S u n d a y
afternoon!! And we h a v e t h e broken bones to prove it. Recalling t h a t
New Yorkers a r e noted for their
sense of humor, we m u t t e r e d in best
Reader's Digest style, to one of t h e
13 people s t a n d i n g on our left foot,
" P a r d o n me, is my rib crushing your
elbow?" Well, maybe h e was from
New Jersey.
We h a v e not given u p all h o p e of
S p r i n g , t h o u g h . In fact, we're down
to only two sweaters u n d e r our w i n ter coat now.
Notwithstanding
our
miserable
showing we h e a r r u m o r s t h a t lots
of people were really energetic d u r ing their vacation. O n e girl played
a t r e m e n d o u s game of b a d m i n t o n .
Another person (one of t h e S p o r t s '
Dept.'s ablest members) played some
fast a n d furious card games. We
have decided after t a k i n g a careful
census t h a t the following are t h e
most popular of the S p r i n g s p o r t s :
sleeping, eating and long rides, p r e ferably in maroon convertibles, r a n k
highest in t h a t order.

KLEEN-MAID WHEAT
On A Limb, Hut F a r
In line with an old baseball c u s IIOLSUM CRACKED WHEAT
tom, we would like to present our
predictions for t h e outcome of t h e
(DELICIOUS TOASTED)
league races t h i s year.
WAA h a s recently a n n o u n c e d a
tentative p r o g r a m for t h e s p r i n g
season. Softball will undoubtedly be
t h e highlight of t h e schedule. T h i s
year, due to a s h o r t e r spring s e a son the usual league will n o t be
formed. Instead, contests will b e
held a m o n g the four classes. I n
this series t h e S o p h - F r o s h rivalry
game will be contested. Rivalry
races are scheduled for t h e W e d nesday before Moving-Up Day.
T e n n i s is next in i m p o r t a n c e o n
the p r o g r a m but will not get i n t o
full swing until sometime in t h e
middle of May w h e n t h e courts will
be opened.
Riding, the o u t s t a n d i n g feature
of last year's p r o g r a m , will once
m o r e have a n i m p o r t a n t place on
t h e spring schedule. Providing t h a t
the weather continues to be p l e a s a n t , riding classes will s t a r t on S a t urday.
Last year golf was offered a s a
new spring sport but little i n t e r e s t
was displayed. Mike Buetow h a s
been appointed c a p t a i n and is now
trying to obtain t h e use of the M u nicipal Golf course a t a reduced
r a t e or better still—free of c h a r g e !
Bike riding is being initiated as a
spring sport and is u n d e r the s u p e r vision of Helen J e n n i n g s a n d L u cille Kenny.
Archery, b a d m i n t o n , h i k i n g a n d
volley ball complete t h e sports c a l e n d a r for the coming season b u t
will not get under way until t h e
weather permits p a r t i c i p a t i o n out
