COACH BOOTH'S CAGERS DEFEAT STR OUDSBURG-ON E POINT MAR GIN Score 38-37 With the score at half-time 16-14 in Stroud's favor, the boys of the Maroon and Gold raced out on the floor and totaled a score of 38 points to Stroudsburg's 37. The game played at Stroudsburg has caused considerable comment in sport circles. The close of the game showed a Scoreboard tally ing 37 points for the home-team and 35 for Bloom. Thus it would seem that Bloom had received its first league defeat of the season— but such is not the case. However, on the train on the way homei our manager checked over his score book to find that the box score summed up to 38. As soon as possible Coach Booth 'phoned Coach Crapser at Stroudsburg. Manager Dew informs us that the box scores t allied at th e end of the game but th at ther e was some question as to the r unning score. An excerpt of Coach Crapser's letter appears as follows: "Yesterday morning, after talking with you over the phone, I called up my Basket Ball Manager and had him bring th e scor e book over to the house. When he came in I asked him if he had checked with your scorer at the close of the game (which he was doing when I went to the table after the finish). He said that he did. I asked him if there were any differences. He said "Yes, that man had Wambaugh credited with four baskets when he only made three." That accounts for the difference you mentioned over the 'phone. I asked him why he checked the baskets at the end. He said, "Because he and your scorer checked their running score after each point was made." " There seems that there is some inconsistency here. If the books did not tally as the Stroudsburg man says, why weren't corrections made at once? Why did he let a mistake like that go unheeded? It doesn't appear to be sound reasoning. We will consider our score as standing at 38-37—with Bloom high as it should be. The Observer Don't forget—Dr. Raiguel Friday night on "Italy and His Interview with Mussolini". "Army " Kellar noticed four dandelions growing near the walk that leads from Waller Hall. Good work "Army". Plans are under way for more parlor space for the boarding students. Good things always come to those that wait. We noticed that some of the girls and fellows had a very desirable? "party" last week. How did you like the Sophomore Cotillion? We thought it was great! "Hecker" should lose some of his bashfulness. Its not becoming to you "Heck"; come on , strut your stuff. You see quite a few lost sheep in the Dining Room since tables have been changed. How about some more financial support for the Maroon and Gold? Don't be afraid— what are we bid? Watch this column for announcements of the North Hall dance that is to be run in the near futur e. SOPHOMORE CLASS DANCE BIG SUCCESS Well, the dance is over, and everyone is fully convinced that it could not have been better, no matter how hard the Sophomores tried. The "gym " was converted into a beautiful old-fashioned garden. There were gates, flowers, trellises, vines, a well, even the bees and butterflies could be seen peeping from amongst the flowers and vines. The dancers frequently quenched their thirst at the magic vine-covered well in the corner. Gay-colored streamers formed a heaven over the garden, and the strains of the orchestra were like those issuing from a Colonial ballroom to an enchanted garden. The beautifully colored gowns helped to complete the dazzling garden. The Sophomores are indeed inspired to do bigger things now that their dance was such a success, so watch this column and t h ey will prove to you how far success may go. Local Hitch Hikers Meet with Disaste r Three prominent characters of North Hall, namely "Dinny " Thomas, "Heck" Mower and "Bud" Morgan will think twice before they hitch hike to Stroudsburg again. On Saturday last quite uneventfully they left Bloomsburg bound for Stroudsburg to see the basket ball team play there. Everything went well until they got to Moscow (U.S. A.) which is a few miles from their intended destination. Unable to get a ride by machine they quite innocently decided to ride at the expense of the Central Railroad of New Jersey which they did by hopping a passing freight. The freight reached Stroudsburg but went through so fast that they remarked, "That's Stroudsburg, wasn't it". To make matters worse the train went on and on and on—all the way to Newark N. J. All next day the boys spent in getting home and upon their arrival at North Hall their weary appearance amply supported their some what startling adventure. Y. W. Meetin g The Y. W. C. A. had a joint meeting in Science Hall at 6:30 P. M. on Wednesday, January 30. Prayer song, "O Master Let Me Walk with Thee," was sung. After the regular devotional exercises the leader , Martha Laird , introduced Miss Martha Robinson who told the club of the missionary work she is conductin g in the Kentucky Mountains. She spoke of the school life there and of the co-operation between the religious and school life. A vote was taken for the officers for this semester. The following were elected: President—Mar garet Oswald Vice-President—Nancy Haynes Secretary—Betty Samuels Treasurer—Edith Rees The meeting was closed by repeating the Christian Endeavor Benediction. ORCHESTRAL I NSTR UME NTS Discussed by Miss Patterson Miss Patterson in our Monday morning assembly, February 4, spoke on orchestral instruments, in order that the student body might appreciate orchestra selections to a greater extent. There are four choirs in the orchestra ; the string choir, the wood-wind choir, the brass choir and the percussion choir. Each of the instruments in the different choirs was discussed and the picture of each was shown. The entire program was very interesting and enlightening, and probably in the future the students will be able to appreciate and understand orchestral pieces better. "Ita ly and Mussolini/' Subject of Dr. Rdiguel's Lecture Tonight Dr. Raiguel , the well-known lecturer, who has been in Bloomsburg for three preceeding lectures, will lecture tonight on Italy and Mussolini. Any one who has not heard Dr. Raiguel should hear him as his lectures are very interesting and enlightning. Phi Gamma Tau Dance The Phi Gamma Tau Sorority held their fourth annual dance in the college gymnasium , Saturday, February 2, 1629. The music was again furnished by Alexander 's "Jazzpirationers " who "jazzpirated as they always do with real jazzpiration. " Attending the dance were many "boyfriends " fro m back home , immaculately adorned in rented "tuxeos. " North Hall News Henry Warman has changed from the two to the four year course. There is quite a bit of talk regarding the score of the game at Stroudsburg. On Monday A. M., when there was nothing but cold water in the shower-room, the fellows evened matters by having a hot time. Anyone entering the second floor shower-room wearing a suit did so at his own risk.

We say a group because that is just what it is. In any of the class-rooms in Waller hall one can hear the shuffl e and clatter of feet as the people proceed along the hall , utterly immune to the fact that there are classes going on. Why does this have to be? Don 't you , as students , realize that sound carries very easily? Have a little bit of considera tion for others. You should put yourselves in the instructor 's place and imagine yourself conductin g a class accompanied by a continual hub-bub. This is especially noticeable around mail time. It is almost impo ssible to conduct classes. Can 't there be some rulin g on this? We suggest that the mail be held over until some where near lunch time. This would eliminate the noise that occurs , or at least a large part of it. So much for that. There is another thin g that is almost as bad as the noise—and that is the singing that occurs in the halls during class periods. Not every one is susceptable to this one form of H. & C.

Immediately after we arrived , wood was gathered and a fire started in the mouth of the cave.

Roddy had to defend himself , and be one of conservation ministes at a convention of Jewish prize-fighters , where every one emphasizes what they say with their hands. Roddy protested absolute ignorance of the charge , but traffic cops are the only persons that take ignorance for an excuse from a student. The unfortunate thin g about this trial was that Roddy could not find one "lineslinger " among all those North Hall "Toreadors" to defend him. Some of the witnesses that appeared against the accused Mr. Roddy were "Bob " Rhodda , North Hall 's "John Gilbert " and his roommate , Jack Taylor , the "jazz-phonic " violin artist. They both gave evidence which led to the dire punishment which followed. The jur y adjourned to "Bob" Knierum 's room and almost immediately agreed that Roddy was guilty. They suggested a committee to be named by "Ex " Mathews to inflict whatever penalty they saw fit , "Ex " placed "Piggie " Swinehart , a former president of the student tribunal , Ch arlie Surfield and "Joe " Ya cabonis. What punishm ent they inflicted no one knows except Mr. Roddy and the committee. The members of the "Vagabondia Court" wish to congratulate Roddy the way he withstood his ordeal and all hope Stanhope ho pes he made his last appearance as defendan t before this group.

They made good time until they passed Scranton and then things did not go so well. After a lon g wait a passing train gave some one a bright idea , so they boarded a flat car and absorbed the cold with the miles that brought them nearer Stroudsburg. Cold weather , tired legs, and every thing else was forgotten as they neared their destination , for the engine er, probably thinking of a good dinner at home in New York City, went through that town at such a rate of speed that the Bloomsburg enthusiasts decided to see where the train stopped rather than the interior of a hospital so they went on. As all good things must come to an end so did th e r ide, but not until the three adventurers were within a few miles of Newark, N. J. where they were able to get off and get located. In a rather tired condition they returned to Bloomsburg on Sunday afternoon , but not on a freight train.
