EDINBORO RED RAIDERS TOP SLIPPERY ROCK AND CALIFORNIA
---------

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Raiders Trounce Slipoery Rock
In Hectic Finish
Coach “Sox” Harrison’s Red Raid­
ers displayed their ability to come
back in the late half and overcome
an eight-point lead here Wednesday
when they rocked the Rockets back
on their heels in the most startling
finish of the season. The locals were
decidedly the pre-game underdogs on
the basis of the 41-30 setback receiv­
ed at the hands of the Green and
White earlier in the season, but they
threw caution to the winds in the
second canto as they set out to erase
a four-basket first half deficit. It
was not until seventeen of the last
twenty minutes had elapsed,however,
that the margin was successfully
made up. At this stage Intrieri’s
basket sent the Raiders into the fore,
and, followed by Simon’s final goal,
furnished the edge which spelled
victory.
The visitors took an early lead
when Truman, high scoring center,
made good on the first free throw of
the game. Pfeiffer sunk his initial
goal of the game soon after, how­
ever, and sent his team into its first
lead. The score was tied three times
in the first twenty minutes of play,
and'the lead changed hands six times
in the same period. After about ten
minutes of play had gone by, the
score was all knotted up at a dozen
points apiece, but the visitors went
to work and chiefly through the work
of Axtel, star forward, tallied eight
pointers without letting the Red and
White score. At this point in the
game the gun sounded for the end of
the half with Coach Thompson’s men
leading by the comfortable margin
of 20-12.
Case opened the second half with
a field goal shortly after the opening
whistle. Wolf followed with two in
a row to bring the count to 18-20,
but Den-bow added two for the Rocks,
giving them another four-point ad­
vantage. Intrieri accounted for two
more, and Case scored five points in
succession to give his team its first
lead of the half. The lead soon went
back to the hands of the downstaters,
remaining there until with only three
minutes to go, Simon made good on
two charity tosses to bring the locals
within an ace of tying the count.
Intrieri’s double-decker put the Har­
risonmen into the lead, with Simon
. oilowing it with the last basket of
t e &ame, giving Edinboro the long
ond of a 40-37 score. At this point
the struggle ended.
The stellar play of the two centers
Was the individual highlight of the
evening. Truman accounted for an
even dozen of his team’s points, while
>ase found the hoop to drop in one
ess counter. The scoring was eveny divided over both teams. Every

Nothing But The Truth
Truth is stranger than fiction—it is also rarer. On the anniversary of
George Washington’s birth it is fitting that The Spectator offer two well
known quotations that may lead erring prevaricators back to he lanes of
veracity.
“Tell the truth and shame the devil”—Shakespeare.
“Truth is the most valuable asset we have.
Let’s

economize it.”

—Mark Twain.

Students Hear
Coming Events
Art Lecture
of Prominence
“If you do something better than
anyone else, or sometime better than
you ever did it before; that is art.”
So said the self-confident young man
who spoke to a special assembly Tues­
day morning. Furthermore, every­
one from the first grade to the college
Seniors listened. C. Warner Williams
of Chicago, successful not only as a
sculptor, but also as a lecturer. His
preliminary remarks on art were well
received both by art and non-art
majors.
He stated, “Art is one of the most
fascinating subjects on earth and ap­
pears continually in every-day life.
Art does not preach, does not make
angels of us, is very tolerant, not
snobbish, and does not force itself on
us.” ’ Denying the trite charge that
artists are sissies, he quoted examples
from lives of Michael Angelo, Rem­
brandt, Leonardo da Vinci, and
Whistler.
Choosing Ruth Hagerson as a
model he began to demonstrate the
ability of a true artist. Real work
followed.
With quick but sure
fingers and heavy forcing movements
of arms he constructed a bas-reilef
of the features of the young lady in
likeness most surprising.
The success which this young art­
ist had in presenting his topic might
well be judged from the amazed faces
in the audience. Deepest attention
was his reward for excellent speak­
ing.

Three very successful groups of
artists are returning to Edinboro next
month. March 13 marks the return
of Ted Shawn and His Men Dancers;
March 17, Plantation Melody Singe­
rs; and March 21, the Siberian Sing­
ers. We have seen them before, we
know they’re good, so let’s give them
a boost now.
The rural schools are going to pre­
sent a Music Festival at the college.
The committee arranging this activity
is: Miss Wilson, Miss Ludgate, Miss
Forness, Mr. Bates, and Mr. Zahniser.
This event is scheduled for April 18.
April 23 promises to be an out­
standing date in Edinboro history.
On this day the College will celebrate
its 75th anniversary. Several speak­
ers of national importance will ad­
dress the college and neighboring
citizens. Governor Earle has prom­
ised to be present for this event.
On April 24 a Rural School Con­
ference will be held at the College.
On May 2 the seniors of neighbor­
ing high schools are to be given a
chance to see our college. The com­
mittee organizing the day's activities
consists of Mr. Mallory, Miss Kunkel,
Miss Hudson, Mr. McCommons, Isabel
Crawford, and John Streit. No school
for these youngsters on that day, so
let’s show them a good time and
bring them back for the next four
years.
The Spectator sees all.

In a spectacular but in no ways
less conclusive manner the Edinboro
Red Raiders finished an undefeated
home season with a clean-cut 44-32
victory over the California Vulcans,
twice conquerors of Slippery Rock,
here Friday night. The Harrisonmen
played neck and neck with the Steers­
men for the first fifteen minutes of
the initial half, but after that time
had elapsed they began to put on
the pressure, moving away to hold a
21-18 lead at intermission.
The
second half saw the gap between the
two teams widened—by mid-way in
this period the outcome was little in
doubt. The home team outscored
their opponents 23 to 14 during the
last canto.
Edinboro opened the scoring after
twelve seconds of play had elapsed,
when Simon sunk a shot from the
sidelines. Watkins, visiting center,
who ran wild from the fullback post
in football, came back soon to tie the
game up with an easy basket from
under the hoop. The struggle weav­
ed back and forth in the first half,
with the score reading at nine each
at the end of ten minutes of play,
and at a dozen each when fifteen
minutes had elapsed. Here the long
range guns of the-Red and White of­
fensive came into play to establish
the lead that was held at the half.
Shortly after the resumption of
hostilities Wolf equaled the entire
second half total of the opponents’
field goals when he dropped four
doublers in rapid succession. Wolf,
Pfeiffer, and Case shared the honor
of accounting for twenty-two points
among them in the second half.
The big scoring battle of the game
was between Wolf and McAndrews,
with the latter taking a three-point
edge through his ability to make good
on three charity tosses, while Wolf
missed on an equal number. Each of
the two forwards accounted for seven
field goals apiece. McAndrews play­
ed the entire game for California,
but Wolf saw action in less than
three-fourths of the time for Edin­
boro. Pfeiffer tallied five goals and
a pair of free throws for his team,
while Case was third in line with
nine points.
Edinboro held a distinct edge in
field goals, doubling their opponents
in that department, 20-10.
Coach
Steer’s men, however, connected with
a dozen foul throws out of eighteen
tries; Edinboro scoring on only four
out of nine attempts.
Last season the Vulcans trailed the
Raiders by three points at the half­
time intermission, but came back to
win the game and become the only
team to beat the Red and White at
Edinboro. When they went down to

Editorial
“A good book is the best blood of
a master spirit”—This quotation is
found on the first page of each of
our library’s books. If this is the
case the master spirit (if any) of an
ordinary student must be hopelessly
anemic. The library purchases many
new books each year; six weeks later
they are mysteriously missing. They
have either been appropriated by
students or signed out by faculty
members for indefinite periods. Fac­
ulty members may sign books, keep
them out until their family and
friend read them, and then lend them
to Uncle George in Walla Walla if
they so desire. By the time the book
is returned to the library the stud­
ents who have been waiting to read
it have either borrowed a copy from
a circulating library of graduated.
Students have purloined many of the
library’s best books for no good pur­
pose. This is not only dishonest; it
it selfish. How about a Student
Council check-up of the books in the
library and the ones that should be
there?

Several of the organizations on
campus are to be highly commended
for the advertising which they have
given our school.
The Women’s
Athletic Association did a great deal
along this line when they invited high
schools from surrounding districts to
attend their field day. The recent
Tournament of Plays, given by the
Dramatic Club was a great aid in
bringing the name and spirit of the
school before prospective students.
Another organization that has
worked hard along the line of school
publicity is the Press Club. Often
little is heard of its activity but in
spite of its activity it devotes its en­
tire time to boosting the school’s
future.
Other organizations have been
fully as active in many ways. Any
efforts toward bettering the welfare
of Edinboro and its students should
be encouraged.

Rev. E. Maclay Gearhart of the
Lutheran Memorial Church, Erie, was
the speaker at the first of this sem­
ester’s series of Sunday Vesper Serv­
ices. A minister of renown through­
out Erie and surrounding sections,
Rev. Gearhart spoke in an inspira­
tional manner, his lecture being bas­
ed on the thought that the grace of
God is sufficient in all things.
Pictures drawn from nature, in the
development of his somewhat abstract
subject, were presented by Rev. Gear­
hart with such clarity and beauty
and poetry of voice and thought that
the illustrations seem to have remain­
ed with his listeners even after his
subject matter has been forfgotten.
The customary Vesper formalities
were followed with the resplendently
robed choir forming a background
for the speaker. Following the Pro­
cessional Hymn by the choir, was the
invocation by Rev. Blasdell of the
Edinboro Methodist Church. A hymn
by the congregation was next, after
which the pastor of the Edinboro
Presbyterian Church, Rev. Johnston,
gave the scripture reading. A selec­
tion by the choir and Dr. Ross’ intro­
duction of the speaker preceded the
main address of the day. Rev. Gear­
hart verified beyond doubt his reput­
ed excellence here Sunday on his first
visit to the college auditorium. The
benediction having been pronounced
by Rev. Blasdell, the choir completed
the program with regality and dignity
by slowly filing from the auditorium
to the solemn sounds of the reces­
sional hymn.

Do the writers of the classics awe
you? Here are some descriptions of
the titans of literature by their chief
contemporaries.
1. Chaucer was corpulent.
2. Shakespeare was handsome
and smug.
3. Dante was a neurotic.
4. Villon was a pickpocket.
5. Tenneyson tamed several
snakes.
6. Burns operated an illegal still.
7. Shelley’s voice was so discord­
ant that most people could not
talk to him.

In the first place God made idiots.
This was for practice.
Then He
made school boards.—Mark Twain.

The Women’s Athletic Association
has always held the most important
place in all girls’ campus activities.
This has been proved again this sea­
son by the turnouts for the 3:00
Activities, Basketball, Skiing, Tobog­
ganing, and Bowling.
The newest social activity on the
campus and one which has met with
the most enthusiasm is the W. A. A.
Teas given every Thursday from 3:30
to 5:00. The first tea was given by
the Council and the second by the
Deltas. The Phis are hostesses for
the tea to be given February 27.
Among the outstanding events of
the winter season is the Ski Tourna­
ment. This year’s tournament was
held Thursday, February 20, on
Gusty Hill. The Deltas won easily,
beating the Phis 15-4. There were
seven events including single tobog­
gan for form, jumping on the tobaggan, races, and skiing in groups of
four and six. The most outstanding
event was the ski-jump successfully
attempted by Rachel Williams, Alice
Kruszka, and June Welker. After
delicious hot cocoa was served to all,
the participants rode home in luxur­
ious style—on the old school truck.

Earl D. Bruner
Speaks Here
Earl D. Bruner, head of the George
Junior Republic near Grove City, and
alumnus of Edinboro, spoke in a
special assembly here on Friday. His
subject was “Bad Boys.”
Mr. Bruner is a kindly, sympathetic
man with a deep understanding of
the boys with whom he works. He is
an outstanding social worker and in­
vestigator. He is well known as the
organizer of several reform schools,
and as the author of articles concern­
ing social misfits. •
The George Junior Republic is
unique in the history of reform
schools. It is governed by the de­
linquent boys who attend. It does
not punish; it trains for citizenship.
jn addition, the boys are given a
home life that can be very favorably
compared with that which they have
given up.
Mr. Bruner is an outstanding man
and an interesting speaker, Edinboro is proud to name him as an
alumnus.

Southwestern school it was a different
story, however, when, after trailing
the Vulcans by a sizeable margin at
the opening of the final quarter, the
Raiders opened with a 28-point at­
tack in that period to win a decisive
victory. Bill Holland was the hero
of that game, scoring 221 counters
in the last half.

The Y. W. C. A. under the leader­
ship of Leola Dinges, president, with
the co-operation of Nellie Loomis,
vice-president; Ruth McFadden, sec­
retary; and Loretta Walz, treasurer,
is planning a varied program for the
remainder of the school year. Meet­
ings are scheduled for every Thurs­
day night. One Thursday of each
month will be purely social under the
direction of Jean Kilgore, Chairman
of the Social Committee.
The Program Committee plans to
bring outside speakers to the college,
including Dr. Krietz, from Cambridge
Springs, Dean Miller from Allegheny
College, and Miss Schearer from the
Erie Y. W. C. A. In addition there
will be several progTams entirely pre­
sented by college students. These
may take the form of a program by
the College Trio, panel discussions,
or variety programs.
The officers feel that this varied
program offers something which will
interest everyone.

Washington Day Dance
Sponsored by ScaRAb Club
by James Pogue

The ScaRAb Club, unde?* the lead­
ership of Bert Shaffer, will hold its
annual ScaRAb Ball on Washington’s
Birthday, the twenty-second of this
month. Until last year it has always
been a costume ball. Following last
year’s example, the dance will be
semi-formal. The artistic and welldesigned decorations together with
Barney Knapp’s music will make it
undoubtedly the most colorful dance
of the season. Everyone in the club,
including the new members, is work­
ing constantly. With such a display
of willingness and co-operation we
are positive this year’s ScaRAb Club
Ball will be a grand success. The
ScaRAb Club cordially invites the en­
tire student body and faculty to at­
tend.
The chairmen of the committees
are as follows: Program, James
Pogue; decorations. Gail Taylor;
orchestra, Rupert Witalis; business
manager, Hennrietta Boss.

Haven Hall Party
by Gertrude Walker

"

On Thursday, February 13, the
Haven Hall girls entertained at a
Valentine Party for their off-campus
sisters. The party was a progressive one in which the guests visited
the first, second, and third floors of
Haven Hall and were entertained by
the occupants of each floor.
The program began with a news-,
reel presented by First Floor under
the supervision of Miss Marjorie
Pert. “The Ethiopion Situation”,
“What’s Wrong With This World of
Ours”, and “The Radiator Racket of
Haven” were some of the subjects
discussed. The refreshment commit­
tee, under the supervision of Miss
Marion Bole, served doughnuts and
coffee.
The guests then went to the Second
Floor to witness the performance of
“Our Little Nell”, the Edinboro Con­
cert Orchestra and a revue by the
Floradora Girls under the direction of
Miss Gertrude Walker.
The third and last part of the pro­
gram was “A Modern Schoolroom”
enacted on Third Floor under t:*.e
tutorship of Prof. Ruth Anderson.
Miss Clara Behringer was general
chairman for the party and was as­
sisted by committees headed by th?
Misses Peart, Boles, Walker and
Parker.
The Haven Hall girls were happy
to have this opportunity for showing
the Off-Campus girls how much we
enjoy having them with us.

So far this semester the chapel pro­
grams have been very interesting.
They promise to be equally interesting in the future, We have had a
variety of interests.
Mr. Zahniser’s poetry class gave a
very
interesting
program
for
Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. Robert
Scarpitti, Beatrice Hall, John Swift,
and Milo Connick read some very ap­
propriate selections. Mi's. Bates and
Miss Pequignot gave a recital which
was greatly appreciated by the stud­
ed high interest among our men stud­
ents, judging from the applause. Mr.
