It was th e first ga me of th e seaso n for both teams and eac h showed fla shes of real basket ball. " Cap's" scoring machin e was in better working order than th e lccal lads but the floor wo rk for th e most part was about equal. Otterbein 's inability to g et the ball under the bas­ ket an d regi ster short sho ts proved to be her outstanding weakness. A ll of her baskets we re made from the middle of the floor. A decided weakness wa also evidenced by Otter­ bein in the hooting of foul s. Al­ bright, Vvhite, Ander.son and Schutz all took a w hirl at this effort, but only •thr ee o ut o f eleve n trials we re regist­ ered. Albright was high sco rer with four baskets, while Cap t.

The Sibyl management has set th e chap el pe ri od on W edne day morning a; th e tim e wh en th e st ud ent sub sc ri ptions wi ll be taken. If you a re a Fres hman thi s year's book hould start yo ur librar y o f Sibyls and if you hav e made th e s ta rt thi s yea r's book s ho uld be one more in yo ur li b ra r y. It is your oppo rtunit y to get a co mplete hi s tory of Otterb ein during you r s tay in sc ho ol. It is th e reco rd o f Otterbein o n her seve nty-fi fth birt hday a nd it will be interes ting to com pare this book with the one that will be publi s hed on her o ne- hundr edth birthday and most of us now in sc hoo l wi ll be privileged to do just that thing. For a number of years Otterbein did not have an annual pub li catio n, but in stead eve r y a lternate Juni o r class i sued a Sibyl until the class of '21 set a new precedent. The Sibyl has now become a part of the life of Otterb ein, and more than that, each one become a part of the hi story of the sc hool. Th e value of a publication of thi s kind is continuously enhan ced a fl eeting yea r make th e m emory o f college day s deare r . A stu nt book or memory boo k may record the ha ppy even t of one pe rso n but no arrangemen t is so comprehensive a s th e Sibyl. The Sib yl thi ye ar will contain a s us ual the picture of all th e classes, societies a nd organizations of importa nce about the school. Aside from these th e Athletic and Jubilee depa rtments promise to be of unusual intere t. The personals, locals and id elights on co llege li fe are always attractive.

UNSUSPECTING YOUNG MAN IS OVERCOME BY WEALTH OF MELODY (By Disk Hoard ) I am sa untering aero the campus,' clu mping my number thirteens lei sur e­ ly along. I am ec tatic, I am enjoy­ ing everythi ng from th e whispering of the frogs to the croaking of the wil lows-it ts the incarnation of pea ce. Sudden ly I become rigid, I sta nd frozen (rh etorically) in my tracks. I am dumb (1 iterally) founded . One crash follows one ban g, till the eve n­ ing zephyrs formerly a s velvety as the down of the goose is now as rough as th e fl es h of the same. I s tand still (p hys ically), I am still (vocally), I try to peak, I can't, I am still still. Di cord heap around me, jangling

crescend o wriggle th rou gh the ozone, vibrating octaves squirm into the mist. Oh . that th ey had miss ed me. But lol The ·ound cha nge. I am sud­ denl y tran ported to realms ethereal, I am wafted away from region ter­ re trial, I am drowned in a shower of harmony, overwhelmed with notes of sapp hire, melodies of pearls and rubi e fall and float about me, I am boun~ by chords of gold, inexpress­ ab le, irre i table, unsurpassable, it-! What! It is over. I hear the street committee command, " Stand out from that shadow" . I do. I am back to earth again . I realize that I have but heard the Glee Club a s it tuned up a nd wuug into action.
