VARSITY. BASKETBALL PRACTISE BEGINS Thirty-six candidates report for initial practise—Four of last year’s squad out of school— Freshman material fair—More men needed. Last -Wednesday afternoon saw varsity basketball prastise open in the Armory, with a fair attend ance. Exactly 36 men reported for practice and handed their names to the managers. Of this number 4 were Seniors, 12 were Juniors, 5 were Sophomores, and 15 were Freshmen. This is a fair showing but no more. Basketball is one of our only two winter sports, letters are given for play ing a half in two thirds of our reg ularly scheduled games and more men certainly must report if State hopes to surpass or even equal last year’s record. Last year State won eight games, lost four and only lost the Western championship to W. &J.by a 21-19 score. The first game played last year was very significant of the necessity of early practice and lots of it; the team which defeated Pittsburg twice and the star Swarthmore ag gregation once was defeated on its own floor by Juniata College. Our prospects look, if anything, brighter than they did at this time last year. At that time the holes left by the graduation of Capt. Hartz, Mauthe, and Craig were to be filled. This year we have lost through graduation Capt. Binder and Savery; but we have also lost two 1915 men: Hay who went to Yale and Thomas who came here from Ohio State has not returned. Billy Binder is with us as a chem istry instructor and should be of considerable aid in the coaching line. Taggart of Harrisburg looks most likely as head coach; he has been coaching teams a long time, and has seen a number of years in very fast company. Capt. Park, Jester, Metzger and Wilson of last year’s team are still with us and a very good team should be built around these men as a framework, but the managers want it known that the necessity ot having more men out to practice OWe should be thankful for the fact that our country is prosperous; for bountiful crops; for our ability to help our fellowmen desolated by war; and because, here in our own community the course of trade is going on with little check or difficulty. The contrast between our condition and that of those war-shattered towns and fields, should make us contented, cheerful over our own better lot. You may think this has little or nothing to do with the cannot be over-estimated. Final arrangements have been completed for the only date on the schedule which had not been decided; on February 13, the Massachusetts In stitute of Technology will be the attraction here.

Ihe following from the Ohio ■State Lantern, we think is pretty good: A professor 111 the I'niicrsity of Chicago leceiilly told his students he could consider them educated m tile best sense of the word when they could say y es to cweiy one ol the questions that lie should put to them. The following were the questions that he desired them to lie able to answei in the affirma tive : I las education given you sym pathy with all the good causes that made you espouse them? lias it mailc you public-spirited? lias it made jm a hi other to the weak ? I laic nil learned ’now to make friends and keep them? Do von know what it is to be a fiienil yourself’ tau ion look an honest man or a pine woman m the e_\c? Do ym see anything to love in a hltle child’ V ill a lonely dog follow you in the street ’ Can you lie high-minded and happy m the meanest drudgeries of life’ Do you think washing dishes and hoeing coin just as compatible with high thinking as piano playing or gulf? Are you good for anything your self? Can you be happy alone? Can you look out 011 the world and see any thing but, dollars and Can you look into a mud puddle by the wayside and see a clear sky? Can you see anything m the pud dle but mud ? Can you look into tile sky at night and see beyond tile star.? Cut out tins ediloiial and pm it up before yom lamp. Look at it often, read the abo\e questions and ponder over them. There is a world of philosophy and of serious thinking connected with every* question that this professor asked. Can you say ‘'yes” to any or all of the questions’ Take another look at the last ii\e questions! How about the next to the last 011c’ Do you see anything to Ime in lit tle children' Can you look an honest man or pure woman in the eyes’ Are you good for anything y oil 1 -.el 1. especially for anything that is brotherly and sistcrlv love ? v "w. me you educated?
