in his fiery speech, mentioned the possibility and the
probability of another great world war. His reference to
the fact that the school children are not taught enough
about the East is true.As a result of this lack of knowledge we do not attach enough importance to this Eastern situation. iWe think it does not affect us because it
is so far away, but It concerns us more than events happening around our own doors. It concerns us more than
tho Eu ropean War did.
The First World War
....
waj merely a war between white people—so called civilised people—no matter how dreadful. This situation in
the East may 'be the beginning of a great race war—the
war of the Orientals against the Occidentals—the truly
great world war! It will be a war of strange customs,
. strange standards of motuHty, strange religions against
the civilization and the democracy and social standards
which govern our lives. Therefore we should center our
attention on the East—tho place where history is being
made.'

Intramural Cage Loop Is
Horse Of Different Color
Intramural Basketball is now a
horse of a different color. No more is
the old type combination game of football, hockey, wrestling and'basketball
to .be seen on the local courts. Under
the well handled supervision of Coach
Tate the contests have been speeded
up and are much more interesting.
The halves are ten minutes long with
an intermission of ten minutes during
which two other teams take the floor
to battle it out.Thia gives the fans action all the time and enables the
games to be run off in short order.
Now that the season is well underway with two games a week for each
squad , a potential champion is rearing
its head in the form of the Moccasin
Varsity which to date has cleaned
house with all of its opponents.
A dark horse, the Band, seems to
have a hard time downing all Its foes,
but the opposition they do defeat seem
to be topheavy favorites in the race.
In all , sixteen teams are entered in
the tournament. This has necessitated the dividing of the squads into
ten leagues—the Maroon and the Gold.
'The teams are ranked according to
their coefficient. This Is determined
by adding up the total number of
points scored by and against a team,
and then ranked with the other
squads. If one team has scored more
points than all the rest It Is given a
number 1, but if its points scored
against is listed fourth , that toam has
a coefficient of 5, At the end the winners of both divisions will tangle for
the school honors.
With Unofficial Ruling
We.«t Chester 's 1937 grid card , released about a month ago, indicates to
the more skeptical-minded fans that
the Kiliinger charges are out for a
chance at the mythical Teachers College crown. At least they have added
another teacher 's college game to their
schedule, bringing their total with
Pennsylvania teacher-training schools
to three , the number unofficially
established for eligibility for the
my thical title.

Miss Lucy MoCammon, women 's
physical education director, is again
running a basketball tournament arranged around the girts1 gym classes.
Last year the sport was a decided success, and- from all appearances there
will be keen interest and competition
in the 1937 games.
The teams will be divided into two
groups—experienced and inexperienced players. Games will be played
at regular intervals and each team will
engage tho other teams In its group.
The winners of both divisions will
play for the championship.

In a speech that started out to hit
form al education as a preparation for
practical life, U.pton Close, former
war correspondent, and lecturer on
world conditions, discredited the "Empires" myth , before a large audience
of students and townspeople last Friday morning in the College Auditorium.
Mr. Close opened his speech by asking three questions of current Interest and requested those who knew the
answers to raise their hands. After
the "future educators" justifi ed his belief In th eir knowledge of present condition and kept their hands to themselves, he proceeded to put them
straigh t on the world crisis confronti ng them.
"The setting today Is identical to
th at of twenty-two years ago. We are
on the way to another World War unless you do something about It. We
are spending three times as much
money as Germany, Japan, France and
Italy for armaments, and the reason
Is—Jap an. That's why we keep our
entire Navy on the Pacific even though
Europe Is smoking into fire."
He said the United State 's en t r ance
into the first World War was a stupirt
blunder. It didn 't save the world for
de mocracy, but for the British empire .
And the British youth aren't at all
grateful to Uncle Sam for It, bocause
now, twenty years lator, they must go
out and Iobo their lives if it in to bo

Up ton Close ....
in his fiery speech, mentioned the possibility and the
probability of another great world war. His reference to
the fact that the school children are not taught enough
about the East is true.As a result of this lack of knowledge we do not attach enough importance to this Eastern situation. iWe think it does not affect us because it
is so far away, but It concerns us more than events happening around our own doors. It concerns us more than
tho Eu ropean War did.
The First World War
....
waj merely a war between white people—so called civilised people—no matter how dreadful. This situation in
the East may 'be the beginning of a great race war—the
war of the Orientals against the Occidentals—the truly
great world war! It will be a war of strange customs,
. strange standards of motuHty, strange religions against
the civilization and the democracy and social standards
which govern our lives. Therefore we should center our
attention on the East—tho place where history is being
made.'

in both of their encounters, and in the
ten-year competition they have won
all fifteen games from their up-state
foe.
Lock Haven has taken three out of
nineteen games from the Huskies. In
their opening contests, Mansfield tripped Elmira Business Institute 26 to 9,
while Indiana, who plays Bloom at a
later date, downed Lock Haven 45 to
27.
These two teams have always given
the local Teachers plenty of trouble,
although the Huskies consistently

Intramural Cage Loop Is
Horse Of Different Color
Intramural Basketball is now a
horse of a different color. No more is
the old type combination game of football, hockey, wrestling and'basketball
to .be seen on the local courts. Under
the well handled supervision of Coach
Tate the contests have been speeded
up and are much more interesting.
The halves are ten minutes long with
an intermission of ten minutes during
which two other teams take the floor
to battle it out.Thia gives the fans action all the time and enables the
games to be run off in short order.
Now that the season is well underway with two games a week for each
squad , a potential champion is rearing
its head in the form of the Moccasin
Varsity which to date has cleaned
house with all of its opponents.
A dark horse, the Band, seems to
have a hard time downing all Its foes,
but the opposition they do defeat seem
to be topheavy favorites in the race.
In all , sixteen teams are entered in
the tournament. This has necessitated the dividing of the squads into
ten leagues—the Maroon and the Gold.
'The teams are ranked according to
their coefficient. This Is determined
by adding up the total number of
points scored by and against a team,
and then ranked with the other
squads. If one team has scored more
points than all the rest It Is given a
number 1, but if its points scored
against is listed fourth , that toam has
a coefficient of 5, At the end the winners of both divisions will tangle for
the school honors.
With Unofficial Ruling
We.«t Chester 's 1937 grid card , released about a month ago, indicates to
the more skeptical-minded fans that
the Kiliinger charges are out for a
chance at the mythical Teachers College crown. At least they have added
another teacher 's college game to their
schedule, bringing their total with
Pennsylvania teacher-training schools
to three , the number unofficially
established for eligibility for the
my thical title.

Miss Lucy MoCammon, women 's
physical education director, is again
running a basketball tournament arranged around the girts1 gym classes.
Last year the sport was a decided success, and- from all appearances there
will be keen interest and competition
in the 1937 games.
The teams will be divided into two
groups—experienced and inexperienced players. Games will be played
at regular intervals and each team will
engage tho other teams In its group.
The winners of both divisions will
play for the championship.

In a speech that started out to hit
form al education as a preparation for
practical life, U.pton Close, former
war correspondent, and lecturer on
world conditions, discredited the "Empires" myth , before a large audience
of students and townspeople last Friday morning in the College Auditorium.
Mr. Close opened his speech by asking three questions of current Interest and requested those who knew the
answers to raise their hands. After
the "future educators" justifi ed his belief In th eir knowledge of present condition and kept their hands to themselves, he proceeded to put them
straigh t on the world crisis confronti ng them.
"The setting today Is identical to
th at of twenty-two years ago. We are
on the way to another World War unless you do something about It. We
are spending three times as much
money as Germany, Japan, France and
Italy for armaments, and the reason
Is—Jap an. That's why we keep our
entire Navy on the Pacific even though
Europe Is smoking into fire."
He said the United State 's en t r ance
into the first World War was a stupirt
blunder. It didn 't save the world for
de mocracy, but for the British empire .
And the British youth aren't at all
grateful to Uncle Sam for It, bocause
now, twenty years lator, they must go
out and Iobo their lives if it in to bo
saved again.
Mr, CIoho •p rophofllert a Pacific empire, olthei 1 Japanese or American—
with a groater Wall Street In San

than fifty years. Ho salt! It Is up to
the youth of tho nation to decide If it
wants to wholly forego the "p rofits"
of war or plunge Into tho melo of horrlblo destruction. Thero Is no middle
