Why, all the Saints and Grinds we loafers cuss'd
Por never cutting hours, now are thrust
Into some sweat-box Jobs; but You and I
Play cards and fill our Pocket-books with Dust.

root ball no question makes of Eyes and Nose
And Ribs and L i imibs, nor stops at Teeth and Toes.
And Weaklings scoff; but there's an eager girl
Watching Him play; she knows, HE KNOWS she knows.
Yet this insulting Fresh of tender green
Fingering the Brazen Bar on which I lean,
Dares say I talk of nonsense; but I ask,
"What in the Devil then did Omar mean ?"

The State
, basket ball team opened the season of 1908 on
Friday,' January 16th, with the Lock Haven Normal School
team, in the college armory. The game was hardly more
than practice for State, but it gave the students a chance to
get a line on the team and,Captain Slorigi to try out some of
the new 'material. The regular team is practically the same
as last year and this argues well for a successful season. Bet
ter team work and better all around individual play should be
the result of two years' practice. Forkum, Kilmer and Foltz
are the best of the new material, and they were given a
chance to show their mettle in the opening game.
The Lock Haven team was weak, plainly showing the lack
of practice and team work. Dunn, Slorigi, C. Devine and J.
Devine were the stars of the evening for State, while Fish and
Brunnell showed up best for Lock Haven. In the second half
the subs, were given a chance and made a, good impression,
Forkum showing up well.
