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.

We overheard the phrase: "The smartest coat we’ve got in stock ”
The salesman was speaking of our "Sackville," an extreme form

But there is the ‘ Newcastle,” a form fitting coat with a fly-front.
And the “Scott,” our double breasted form-fitting overcoat, a
“swagger” garment.
These are all distinctly stylish models for young men and you are to
choose the one you like best, if you'll let us show them to you.

HOW ARE YOG EDUCATED?
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

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
