BLOOM BEATS MILLERSVILLE FOR CHAMPIONSHIP Second Period Spurt Carries Through When two teams of first-class athletes appeared upon the floor to do or die for the honor of their Alma Mater on the basketball courts, no one questioned the occasion nor the interest of the game. A championship game carries with it something that take young and old alike from the pleasures of the book, pipe and friends to become lost in a crowd of excited, cheering enthusiasts, each with a single thought,—victory for his team. So it was on the eve of the great game on March the ninth, the college gym packed to its doors fairly groaned from the strain and excitement of the championship event. Millersville, the first to appear on the floor went through a fast and splendid exhibition of close shooting under the basket. Unsuccessful shots were few and far between, but the Bloomsburg squad was by no means outdone in preliminary practice as time after time the Maroon and Gold uniforms flashed in the air and a well directed ball left the hands of a Bloomsburg player. . When the opening whistle blew, both teams started as from the mark and went into action. The visitors, with Gockley scoring frequently, nosed out a wide margin and held it till the close of the second period grew alarmingly near and the lead was reduced to four points as the team went off the floor between halves. . Still maintaining a lead, the visitors carried their standards high till the approach of the third period intermission, when a string of tallies, uninterrupted by Millersville scoring, totaled eleven points and brought the Maroon and Gold to the front for the first time. The visitors closed in on the scoring and led by one point at the end of the quarters. Again the Bloomsburg boys got under way and gaining the lead managed to hold it till a four-point margin hung on the score-board and the time-keeper's pistol closed the game. Bloomsburg-38, Millersville-34. During the entire game the home team used no substitutes, the first string men went through. Millersville sympathizers lost some of their hopes when in the last few minutes, Captain Rudy came out on personals.

INAUGURAL ADDRESS DR ,RAIGUEL Mexico Needs New Blood Dr. Raiguel gave his last lecture for the year on Monday, March 11. He summed up the inaugural proceedings and the recent political and economic developments in the world. His description , of the . inaugural proceed i ings was a fine one , and we certainly appreciated the fact that we could listen to them without being drenched by the rain. He discussed the entire speech of President Hoover with its main points. He said it was not a startling speech , but was a fine one: The Mexican question was brought up, and Dr. Raiguel stated that every new president in recent years has had the question arise , and that it never could be settled until there was e fusion of new blood into Mexico. Mexico is too degenerated to ever hope to accomplish much. The approaching English election was touched upon , in which Dr. Raiguel said that either Lloyd George and his Liberal or Ramsey McDonald and his Labor Party would probably gain control of the Cabinet and government. The entire talk was very interesting and enlightening and certaily made a fine conclusion to a most delightful group of lectures. Our Debaters Not all of the teams that represent the spirit and ideals of a school can be classified under the term "athletic. " There are others , among which we find our College Debating Team. A debate is a game as exciting and interesting as any game of basket ball , foot ball , or base ball. It is a game played by thinkers, the score being registered in clear , f orcefu l , convincing arguments for or against the question under discussion. A debate means hours of thou ghtful preparation on the part of each member of the team. There must be interviews and more interviews , reading and m o r e r eadi n g , outlines , briefs , practices, and finall y t he debate co m es for t h a finished product. The student body has shown a marked interest in the debates that took place on Moncontinued on page 3 V. W, Installation The Y. W. C. A. installed its new cabinet on Wednesday, March 6, at 6:30 o 'clock in the auditorium. The meeting was opened by singing the Hymn of Light. Then Margaret Oswald read a verse, after which Louise Hewitt lead in prayer. Fannie Linskill read Joshua 1:1-9, and then all jo ined in singing the hymn , Love Divine , All Love Excelling. Miss Oswald introduced the speaker of the evening, Prof. Albert who took his text from II Timothy 2, and who spoke on Christian Growth. "This growth is made up of leaves of influence; one enfolded upon the other. The most important of these influences is Christ. " ¦ The formal installation of the following continued on .page ,8 IN DEFENCE OF OURSELVES . We are of that "species known as parasites." We could write a whole book on ourselves,"but what is the use"? We're too lazy. According to a recent editorial a community can be divided intn three classes. We are hated too greatly to be members of the first group ; too lazy and have too much pride to be members the. second group ; therefore, we are of that "species known as parasites." The social leaders in this community do us our greatest favors. We make them leaders for our own purposes. They hold their "high and exalted" positions because we know we could not. In the first place, we are "too lazy"; secondly, we are not popular enough n or import ant enough , in the eyes of our fellow students. This is sufficient proof to show how we "parasites" need our aristrocracy. We come to ths communities' middle class, the "plodder s.". The class "who,"as the editorial stated "work alone in their individual ways". Plodders are not individual. Had they any individuality they would not have to "plod". They grind away for two hours on something other people can understand in one. They use everyone else's thoughts but they never have any of their own. We "parasites" are certainly indebted to this class. This class blindly follow, and we dictate to them what our "aristocracy" shall be. They gladly elect. These people never question a thing and make wonderful students ! We come now to our own group, the"scum" of the community, composed of dreamers, schemers and "wise-crackers". We take our "bawling-outs" for our inferior work here as a matter of course. These come mostly from our parents. While we are waiting for other members of the community to get the "satisfactory slant" in their subjects , we are studying Havelock Ellis, George Dorsey and other prominent writers. In class discussion we usually take the leading parts. Here we can bring out our ideas, but here we are again supressed. Why? Because the aristocracy and the "plodders" find difficulty in keeping up with our minds. Leaders in many cases are being developed from the inferior classes, only because these classes show what little they do know. Ours is concealed,therefore , we are misunderstood and classed as that "species known as parasites".

Office—No. 116, W aller H all News About You—Of You—For You EDIT O RIAL V OLUN TARY SUBSCRIPTI ONS We have been thinking, since the plea for subscriptions was made in chapel some time ago, about what was said concerning voluntary support, or the collecting of subscription s on the part of the student body for the college paper. All this is very fine, and puts the support of the paper entirely in the hands of the students themselves. As it stands now the administration has nothing to do with the collecting of money for the college paper. But would it not be better if the subscriptions were put in with the registration fee and collected in this manner, as athletic fees an d the artist course fees are collected. In this way we would have 100% support from the students and be able to publish the paper with very little trouble. Other colleges have this procedure and the students like this system, If the paper is put on a voluntary support basis, why not put athletics etc. on the same basis? Why make exceptions? We need not say what would be the ultimate results if this were the case. When money for the Y. M. C. A., school paper and other activities is collected by the students the school is the loser. It is the school that gets the "black eye" if the organization ceases to function for lack of finances. Everybody reads the Maroon and Gold at this school. This we do not doubt. But how many subscribe to the paper? Not many. This is only human nature. Why subscribe when someone else's paper can be read? No one misses the money paid through the registration fee for school activities. "Dad " .pays for it. But try and collect for anything a week after school has commenced in the fall. Everybody 's broke. This also is natural. We know from experience. This rule of voluntary support of the school publication has been in force two years. The experiment has been tried. The ultimate results are seen. We can name other State *Teachers Colleges that are having the same trouble as we are since the opening of this rule. Can't something be done about this problem?

Novelty basket-ball games are played by four men teams. These games are more or less crazy. A game of this type was played Saturday night preliminary to the Bloomsburg-Millersville game. The "short s of North Hall, captained by "Shorty " Edmunds played the "longs" from the same "rough-house," who were led by "Joe" Krafchick, "assassin extr aordin ary ". Ruch , N orth Hall 's bald , red h ead , refereed the game according to football 's most illegal rules. Because of a confl ict on the scorer 's bench the official score was not giv en and t h e "brawl" was called "no-contest" by "Fakir" Ruch. "Shorty " Edmunds, had the ad vant age at the tap. He had an edge of about two feet on his opponen t "Jimmie" Johns. "Steve" Wa u rin of the "Runts" played his usual good game at "garter " position, He got away twice for 30 yard runs. "Ted" Vital of the "Diminutives" tried several drop-kicks from the 2-foot line. Only one of these were successful. "Jimmie"Johns and "Speed" Rinker both got long hits that were foul by ineh§§. Certain ly, these would have been home runs. (The crowd almost chased them there anyway.) North Hall's "gianf'Stonewall" Perch must be congratulated for his marked tackling ability. He broke through, (not the scoring column) almost every play. The mighty Krafchick contributed much to the tied victory of the "stretched ones". "Boney" Palsgrove got a rise out of him when they met in a head-on collision. The lump came up to about an half inch.
