He made a plea for well-atttnded games, for an in terest in the tcttm and the assurance of support so that the games may be continued. He asked that every one for whom It was possible should attend the games to-night when be fore and between the halves of the Central Girls vs. W'illiamsport Girls the junior boys und the senior boys will compete for the school cham pionship. Hellene's Orchestra will furnish music for dancing after the game. Professor Severance's Views Professor Severance then spoke to the students explaining that al though at the beginning of the sea son the question as to whether or not there should be a girls basket ball team was not brought before the student body he had taken It for granted that all the students would co-operate should lie permit one to bo formed. When asked If thev wished the team to be kept and games continued the vote was unani mously "yes." Professor Severance further stated that to-night would be the deciding game, It it is well attended games shall be continued if not some other action must be taken.
