The fourth annual Inter-Collegiate Conference was held at Brockport, November 19-21, with State
being represented by Robert Kittredge '49, Audrey Koch and William Lyons, Juniors, and Gerald
Dunn '51. The Conference was
opened by the President of ICA, Dee

by the president of the college

its start, all eleven teachers' colleges were represented at the Conference.
Topics discussed by the various
groups included: Student Government, Assembly Programs, School
Spirit, Social Activities, the New
York State Teachers Association,
Publicity, Publications, and Recruitment. Each group then reported its
accomplishments at a general sumup meeting which was held each
day.
Highlights to come out of the
Conference included a resolution
to Dr. Francis T. Spaukling, Commissioner of Education, urging
State support, of Varsity Athletics
for the Teachers Colleges. The Conference also decided that each
delegation should try to gain greater recognition for ICA in the individual colleges, and that a quarterly news letter would be circulated by the Brockport delegation.
A committee of delegates judged
several seals which were submitted
by students of the various colleges,
and a seal for ICA was adopted. An
Invitation to Oswego for next year
was accepted. On Saturday morning each college had on display
banners, jewelry, and various publications.
After a dinner Friday night, the
delegates were guests of the Brockport Dramatics Group at Its presentation "Elizabeth the Queen," by

Holliday Heads Football
At a meeting of this year's football captains Al Holliday was elected next year's manager for the Intramural Football program. The
play-off game between KB and Potter was also discussed.
It was decided that if at all possible the game should be played,
but due to many conflicting factors
no date for the game has been decided upon as yet. Rain has caused
the postponement of the game and
darkness and the basketball season
are two of the obstacles to be overcome.

Manager Joe Carosella has announced that the Intramural Basketball league will begin play Monday evening, Dec. 6. All who are interested in entering teams should
notify the MAA manager. There will
be a meeting of all team captains
and managers at 12 noon, today, to
discuss rules, schedules and other
regulations for the coming season.
Large Entry List
In this sport the largest entry
list, consisting- of seventeen teams,
has been made. This may perpetuate the use of a two league system
to accommodate all the teams that
enter the league.
Potter Club, last year's champions, are out again to put in their
bid for the league title. EEP, which
was undefeated in league play last
year will again field a strong quintet.

saw three two-game victories for
- VanDerzee, Potter and KB, in the
evening tilts in the Page Hall gym.
The first contest was staged between VanDerzee Hall and Sayles
Hall Annex. The State Street boys
whipped right through Ontario by
taking two straight, 15-4 and 15-3.
The second game, which was to be
played between the Angels and the
Mitey Mites was forfeited.
In the third encounter of the
evening a Faculty team, walloped
in the first game, 15-2, came back
to tighten up the second game, only
to lose by the score of 15-9.
KB faced and downed SLS in the
latt set of the evening. Both these
games were very close and showed
prolonged volleying. KB eked out
the first, coming from behind, 1513 and had an even tougher battle
in the second when they overcame
a five-point disadvantage to win
18-16.
More games are planned to round
out the schedule for this year's
league.

Sophs Trip Frosh, 14-0
Playing in mud up to their knees
the class of '51 pushed over a 14-0
win on the class of '52 to add to
their rivalry victories.
After an all day rain on Friday
the 19th, Pa b e Field turned into a
bucket of mtif which was a handicap to both teams. Neither team
could do much on the ground and
thus they took to passing, and it
was the more accurate passing of
the Sophs that gave them their
victory.
Second Half Good
The game turned into a thrilling
contest during the second half as
the frosh tried several long passes
and completed a few of them to advance deep into Gremlin territory.
However, the game had its more
amusing moments when runners
stepped into one of the mud-traps
and were grounded without being
lagged by the opposition.

DeGarmo Judges Potatoes,
Competes In National Contest
Farmers are not the only ones
to judge potatoes. Students do
it, too. In fact, one of State's
students is quite superior at it.
Lindley DeGarmo '50, came out
first in last year's contest for
prize potato judgers, and fifth
in this year's contest.
He doesn't just judge spuds,
though. He can actually tell you,
just from glancing at the eyes
(of the potato, that is) whether
that particular apple of the
ground is a sharp Long Islander,
or whether it is native Californian.
DeGarmo is connected with
the vegetable department of the
4-H club, r u n know, heat,
hunger, horror, and hollandaise).
That's where he got his learning.
DeGarmo is now taking part
in a national contest for judging vegetables in Detroit, Michigan. He is on one of two teams
competing in the contest representing New York State.
