The Red Raiders of 1940—an out
standing basketball combination that
won fourteen of eighteen games play
ed—started fast with ten victories in
the first eleven starts, bogged down
in late mid-season to drop a tr.o of
contests, and then wound up the
year with four straight victories to
chma.< a most successful campaign
unuer the veteran Edinboro coach,
B. R. “Sox” Harrion.
The Red and White, which aver
aged 43.7 po.nts per game to their
opponent’s 38.5, allowed on team to
gain two decisions over them, drop
ped but two games to teachers col
lege league members—Slippery Rock
and California—and lost but a single
game on the home hardwood, a trick
that had not been turned on the Raid
ers for several years.
Defeat Slippery Rock
In what was undoubtedly the most
thrilling game of the year on the
home floor, the Raiders, after lead
ing by a margin of a single point
over a rugged Slippery Rock team
at halftime, put on the power that
sparked the r playing throughout the
season and stretched the 23-22 mar
gin to a 52-44 victory.
At Clarion, the Harrisonmen were
forced to go into an over-time period
to eke out a 32-30 win at the expense
°f the Hill team. The Raiders had

W. Verne Zahniser, faculty color j

members of the photography club
with a showing of his colored pictures
at the last Photo Cub’s meeting on
Monday.
During the course of his program,
Mr. Zahniser showed many of his fa
miliar “shots” of the compus, the
students and of other Edinboro
scenes. Although he has been tak
ing color pictures for only a little
over a year, he has a large collection
of h'ghly interesting photographs,
ranging from sunsets on the lake in
nrd-summer to the very, very frosty
rule of old man winter.
With generous sprinkling of re
marks in regard to lighting exposure,
angles, and what-not of interest to
photographers alone, the faculty
member’s talk won a rising vote of
appreciation from the Photo Cubs.

Present Poetry Talk
Lectures in Normal
Hall cn April 4th
On Thursday evening, April 4,
Robert Frost, well known writer of
modern poetry, will present a lecture
and readings from his several writ
ings, in Normal Hall Auditorium at
8:00 p. m.
Frost was born in San Fransisco,
March 26, 1875, the son of a news
paper editor. At the age of ten his
father died, and mother and son came
East and settled in Lawrence, Massa
chusetts.
He d’sliked grammar school and as
a college man found the routine of
Dartmouth dry and boring. While
he was in college he married Elinor
Marian White.
He taught for several years, and
then with his wife and four children
went to England. Here Frost pub
lished his first book, and soon his re
putationi as a poet was established
abroad and in America.
He does not force himself to write,
preferring to wait until he can write
at his best. “It takes me two days
to unscrew and two to screw up
again,” he says. “A poem/’ he ex
plains, “begins with a lump in the
throat, a homesickness or a love
sickness.
It is a reaching-out to
ward expression; an effort to find
fulfillment. A complete poem is one
where an emotion has found its
■>
thought
and the thought has found
the ^ords.”
Mr. Mallory, instructor of English,
describing Robert Frost from his ac
quaintance with him this past sum
mer says, “Robert Frost is a genial
man with a dry, subtle humor roll
ing off his chin.”
SPECTATOR TEAM PLAYS
KAPPA DELTA PHI TODAY
The Spectator basketball team
plays the Kappa Delta Phi “B” team
in the Intramural League at 4 o’clock
this afternoon in the new gymnasium.
The Spectator won last week as
the result of the Y. M. C. A. forfeit
ing the game because sufficient play
ers did not appear. The Kappa Delta
Phi ‘B” defeated the Freshman “B”
55-17 and are favored to defeat the
newsmen in today’s game.
GAME BEGINS AT 8:30
In what will be the last opportun
ity to see the varsity basketball men
of 1940 in action, the annual inter
squad basketball game, which each
year formally closes the Edinboro
court campaign, will be played in the
new gym this evening at 8:30 p. m.
This year the squad will be divided
into a Volitich team and a Soscia
team, as that old division of on-campus and off-campus has proved im
practical because of the preponder
ance of on-campus men on the pre
sent varsity.
Playing in tonight’s game with
Team Captain Nick Volitich are Ly
tle, Casoli, Crunick, Walbridge, Ackelson, Blasdell, Scalise, Abrams and
Dilley. On the opposing team, cap
tained by Frank Soscia, are Abahazi,
Meadway, Bohn, Rohde, Schollenberger, Lipchik, Culbertson, Wood and
White.

Intramural Swimming
Meet To Be Held Soon
Varsity Squad Members
Are Barred From Tourney
An Intramural Swimming Tourna
ment, with the exact date yet to be
decided upon, will be held in the first
week of April, according to an announcement by Swimming Coach
Bailey.

schedule of the regular competitive
events and winners will be Intramur
al Champions in this sport.
The varsity sq^ad members are
barred from competition in the meet
which will leave the field open for
all other men swimmers on campus.
During this week, a tournament
manager is being elected by the mem
bers of the swimming classes. Each
class nominates one person to repre

Council; then the members of all
classes elect one person from the
previously chosen nominees.
This
person is tournament manager and
represents the swimming classes on
the Intramural Council.

The Red Raiders of 1940—an out
standing basketball combination that
won fourteen of eighteen games play
ed—started fast with ten victories in
the first eleven starts, bogged down
in late mid-season to drop a tr.o of
contests, and then wound up the
year with four straight victories to
chma.< a most successful campaign
unuer the veteran Edinboro coach,
B. R. “Sox” Harrion.
The Red and White, which aver
aged 43.7 po.nts per game to their
opponent’s 38.5, allowed on team to
gain two decisions over them, drop
ped but two games to teachers col
lege league members—Slippery Rock
and California—and lost but a single
game on the home hardwood, a trick
that had not been turned on the Raid
ers for several years.
Defeat Slippery Rock
In what was undoubtedly the most
thrilling game of the year on the
home floor, the Raiders, after lead
ing by a margin of a single point
over a rugged Slippery Rock team
at halftime, put on the power that
sparked the r playing throughout the
season and stretched the 23-22 mar
gin to a 52-44 victory.
At Clarion, the Harrisonmen were
forced to go into an over-time period
to eke out a 32-30 win at the expense

W. Verne Zahniser, faculty color j

with a showing of his colored pictures
at the last Photo Cub’s meeting on
Monday.
During the course of his program,
Mr. Zahniser showed many of his fa
miliar “shots” of the compus, the
students and of other Edinboro
scenes. Although he has been tak
ing color pictures for only a little
over a year, he has a large collection
of h'ghly interesting photographs,
ranging from sunsets on the lake in
nrd-summer to the very, very frosty
rule of old man winter.
With generous sprinkling of re
marks in regard to lighting exposure,
angles, and what-not of interest to
photographers alone, the faculty
member’s talk won a rising vote of
appreciation from the Photo Cubs.

Present Poetry Talk
Lectures in Normal
Hall cn April 4th
On Thursday evening, April 4,
Robert Frost, well known writer of
modern poetry, will present a lecture
and readings from his several writ
ings, in Normal Hall Auditorium at
8:00 p. m.
Frost was born in San Fransisco,
March 26, 1875, the son of a news
paper editor. At the age of ten his
father died, and mother and son came
East and settled in Lawrence, Massa
chusetts.
He d’sliked grammar school and as
a college man found the routine of
Dartmouth dry and boring. While
he was in college he married Elinor
Marian White.
He taught for several years, and
then with his wife and four children
went to England. Here Frost pub
lished his first book, and soon his re
putationi as a poet was established
abroad and in America.
He does not force himself to write,
preferring to wait until he can write
at his best. “It takes me two days
to unscrew and two to screw up
again,” he says. “A poem/’ he ex
plains, “begins with a lump in the
throat, a homesickness or a love
sickness.
It is a reaching-out to
ward expression; an effort to find
fulfillment. A complete poem is one
where an emotion has found its
■>
thought
and the thought has found
the ^ords.”
Mr. Mallory, instructor of English,
describing Robert Frost from his ac
quaintance with him this past sum
mer says, “Robert Frost is a genial
man with a dry, subtle humor roll
ing off his chin.”
SPECTATOR TEAM PLAYS
KAPPA DELTA PHI TODAY
The Spectator basketball team
plays the Kappa Delta Phi “B” team
in the Intramural League at 4 o’clock
this afternoon in the new gymnasium.
The Spectator won last week as
the result of the Y. M. C. A. forfeit
ing the game because sufficient play
ers did not appear. The Kappa Delta
Phi ‘B” defeated the Freshman “B”
55-17 and are favored to defeat the
newsmen in today’s game.
GAME BEGINS AT 8:30
In what will be the last opportun
ity to see the varsity basketball men
of 1940 in action, the annual inter
squad basketball game, which each
year formally closes the Edinboro
court campaign, will be played in the
new gym this evening at 8:30 p. m.
This year the squad will be divided
into a Volitich team and a Soscia
team, as that old division of on-campus and off-campus has proved im
practical because of the preponder
ance of on-campus men on the pre
sent varsity.
Playing in tonight’s game with
Team Captain Nick Volitich are Ly
tle, Casoli, Crunick, Walbridge, Ackelson, Blasdell, Scalise, Abrams and
Dilley. On the opposing team, cap
tained by Frank Soscia, are Abahazi,
Meadway, Bohn, Rohde, Schollenberger, Lipchik, Culbertson, Wood and

An Intramural Swimming Tourna

The varsity sq^ad members are
barred from competition in the meet
which will leave the field open for

During this week, a tournament

classes elect one person from the
previously chosen nominees.
This
person is tournament manager and
represents the swimming classes on
the Intramural Council.
