Wy oming Jinx Downed A gain Championship bound, the Teachers' College five at Kingston Saturday night bowled over their ancient rivals, Wyoming Seminary, 39 to 35 to gain their seventh straight consecutive triumph and to end Wyoming 's winning streak over Bloomsburg which had reached five. Playing excellent basketball and ieadtnrr almost from the staff , Bldofiisburg duplicated the feat of Wyoming three years ago when they defeated Bloomsburg to end a string of five victories which the Maroon and Gold had gained over Wyoming. Wyoming 's brilliant guards, Captain Rees and Murphy led a last period assault of the Bloomsburg basket which brought the score to 37 to 35 with a minute to play. Then Captain McGrath got loose under the Wyoming goal and took a pass which had been thrown from the other end of the court. He made an easy basket to sew up the game. Still smarting under the sting of a 38 to 36 defeat handed them by Wyoming on their home court several weeks ago, the teachers were a determined crew Saturday night. Bloomsburg lost no time in starting their drive for victory and at the close of the first period was leading 12 to 6. This margin was increased three points in the second period, the half time score being 21 to 12. Wyoming gave much harder opposition in the second half but until the closing minutes did not threaten and then McGrath's field goal took away the sting of the threat. P. was Bloomsburg's superior passing game, coupled with accurate shooting from difficult angles that gave thqm a decided edge. They had fewer shots at the basket but that was chiefly because they selected to pass through the Wyoming defense rather than shoot long shots, the form of play Wyoming resorted to. A number of Bloomsburg students and alumni saw the game and the teachers' cheering section was almost as large as that of the home school. Ji. victory over Wyoming gives Bfoomsburg ten triumphs in 13 games. The victory has no direct bearing on the state teachers ' college championship other than it heartens the players. Victory over Wyoming is always necessary for a successful season.

A. Smith of the State Forestry Department gave an interesting talk on forest protection and conservation. He stated that one half of the total land acreage of Pennsylvania is in forests. This is slowly but steadily decreasing due to improper methods of lumbering and the ravages of forest fires. Forest fires are the most serious menace to forest conservation. There are many causes, but the two most important of these are of careless individuals and sparks from locomotives. Mr. Smith said that the Anthracite mining district was the blackest spot for forest fires in the eastern part of the United States. He contrasted Pennsylvania forests with those of China and Switzerland. In China there are no conservation laws. After tH€ land i§ cleared it is left idle. Erosion sets in and the fertile valleys are oftentimes flooded with useless soil. Only by terracing the sides of mountains and highlands can the soil be held back. On the other hand Switzerland has severe forestry laws. Only under the most strict supervision can lumbering be carried on, and then not by individuals. Timber is brought mto Pennsylvania from all over the United States. We find many uses for it such as in woodworking shops, telephone poles, railroad ties, mine timber, etc. These are mostly Douglas fir, Cedar, Yellow pine and White pine. If Pennsylvania's idle land were properly reforested, we could grow all these different types of timber here. As it is, all this land is in "idle acres", that is the owner is paying taxes on it and reaping no benefits. Mr. Smith also stated the State Forestry Department and the Department of Forests and Water are always at the services of the people. To anyone interested, trees can be obtained at a nominal charge for reforestation. K.. . . —X £)oo l^s £,ines trr m/s/sk - m Zim—"The people of New York must :e awfully dumb." Vid—"Why so?"
