East Stroudsburg Y. W. C. A. Dance A Trip Through High School Stop s Varsity The Ho ly Lands Tourna men t Saturday Night Almost every member of the basket ball squad had a part in the tenth consecutive victory which was gained over Dickinson Seminary, of Williamsport by a score of 37 to 27. There were 14 Maroon and Gold players who took part in the game. The Junior Varsity five started and played most of the f irst period intact. 1'hey were unable to hold Dickinson and the Williamsport lads were in front when varsity reserves were sent m. The varsity five got in before the half ended and helped boost the score so that Bloomsburg was in front during the intermission by a score of 15 to 13. The varsity played much of the second half during which they pulled steadily away from Dickinson. Near the close of the game Coach Booth started sending in reserves. No Bloomsburg man was on the floor during the entire game. Smarting under the sting of defeats at the hands of Shippensburg and West Chester, East Stroudsburg Teachers' College rose to great heights here Saturday night and gained a brilliant 55 to 42 victory over Teachers' College, and put a stop to a consecutive winning streak that had continued through ten games. Led by the brilliant Kowalsky, Ease Stroudsburg got a lead early in the game and was never headed. At half time they were in front 30 to 22. This margin proved enough to safely weather a stubborn attack launched by Bloomsburg during the third period and the first part of the final quarter. Bloomsburg never came closer than two points to tying the score. That was when the count stood 34 to 32. In the closing minutes of play Bloomsburg threw caution to the wind and concentrated entirely on offense. The visitors, playing a crafty game, took advantage of this to widen the gap between the two teams. The game was decided solely on field goals with East Stroudsburg shading Bloomsburg 24 to 18. Kowalsky, the visitors ' leader, played wonderful basket ball and turned in 10 field goals for the night. The visitors had a clever team and frequently drew tho Bloomsburg back guard out of position. In the second period Bloomsburg marshalled its forces and did some fine work but could not olose up the gap in tho score. The home team did its best work in the third period and near tho opening of the final period was almost on equal Continued on Pago 4 A St. Patricks dance will be given by the Y. W. C. A.

PROFESSOR REAMS SPEAKS AT CHAPEL Our very able social studies teacher Mr. Reams gave a talk on the presidential prefential primary in order to prepare tho students for the convention that they are going to hold in the chapel some time in the near future. He said that it would not be possible to have a true representation because we would have to have over one thousand students. He told us how President Harding who was the dark horse in one campaign was put to the forefront by Boise Penrose and accepted by the people as their choice. He said that he was glad that Mr. Hoovei was going to oppose Senator Willis in Ohio altho he might lose the lead in that state. He favored Mr. Hoover as the possible candidate and ended the people will probably express a sentiment something like this. "It is too bad that sap does not choose to run in Vermont."
