Campus Boys Take
School Championship
Turn Back Off-Campus
Defenders With Little Effort
The basketball season received its
finishing touches March 10 when the
Off-Campus boys battled it out with
the Campus team. The game was
sponsored by the “E” Club. Pro-j
ceeds will be used to buy sweaters j
for the letter men.
High scoring honors go to Case,
with 12 points, Arkwright with 1'1,
and Volitich with 10.
The Off-Campus boys took the lead
during the first half with a score of
19-13. In the third quarter, how
ever, the campus crew put on pres
sure and rolled in 18 points to their
opponents 7. The last quarter was
fairly evenly matched in scoring, the
game ending 38-32 in favor of the
Campus All-Stars.
An interesting record was estab
lished by Steve Lipchick when he fin
ished the game with seven personal
fouls against him.
(Continued on Page Four)
A Mad Hatter Party based on the
March Hare of “Alice in Wonder
land” is to be held by the faculty in
the dining room of Haven Hall on
Saturday, March 25, at 8:00 o’clock.
There will be a performance by the

clean-up committee is Mr. Mallory.
The wives of the faculty members
are al'o included on the committees
with their husbands.
All students, on and off campus,

Campus Boys Take
School Championship
Turn Back Off-Campus
Defenders With Little Effort
The basketball season received its
finishing touches March 10 when the
Off-Campus boys battled it out with
the Campus team. The game was
sponsored by the “E” Club. Pro-j
ceeds will be used to buy sweaters j
for the letter men.
High scoring honors go to Case,
with 12 points, Arkwright with 1'1,
and Volitich with 10.
The Off-Campus boys took the lead
during the first half with a score of
19-13. In the third quarter, how
ever, the campus crew put on pres
sure and rolled in 18 points to their
opponents 7. The last quarter was
fairly evenly matched in scoring, the
game ending 38-32 in favor of the
Campus All-Stars.
An interesting record was estab
lished by Steve Lipchick when he fin
ished the game with seven personal
fouls against him.
(Continued on Page Four)
