Teachers % In the mo®t exciting game of the season on the 'home 'floor, Hope's baskete^rs met defeat a t the hands of the Western State Normal aggregation Friday evening. The game was fast and scrappy f r o m s t a r t to finish. The Hope quintet were the | more skillful in getting the ball under the gasket and made most of their points from this position while the Normal team succeeded in maintaining the lead f r o m start to finish with their long range artillery. De J a n g did stellar work as guard, time and again preventing the enemy f r o m penetrating his territory. Miller of Kazoo proved to be Hope's most dangerous opponent for he repeatedly dropped the big pill thru the meshes from the center of the floor. Kazoo started the scoring from the foul line, following this up with a long field goal. Japinga then came in for two points and the fight was on, both teams scoring alternately. The half ended just a f t e r Dickie dropped the speroid thru the ring f r o m deep center, the score being 15-11 with Kazoo on the credit side. Kazoo commenced the barrage again in the second half with threelong shots in quick succession. Hope then rallied and crept up on the Normal's lead imtH the finish. Kazoo changed h e r tactics from one of point gietting to one of killing time for she realized that the home- team was hot on the scent of the bacon. The excitement was intense f o r Hope brot down the opponents lead of ten points to but three. When the gong sounded the finish the tally read 2824, the "Celery C i t y " prospective teachers being the victors. The line-up follows— Japinga iL. F Miller Wassenaar. R.

WICHERS GIVES FIRST , LECTURE OF SERIES ON MODERN PROBLEMS The average college student occasionally comes across the word Bolsheviki or iMenshiviki, perhaps so oftefn as to become disgusted with his daily paper. We all get a vague idea of new movements, b u t few of us take the pains to find out what they really are. We forget to connect the present (events with the end of our "Hayes*' or " C r o s s " . The history department is offering a course, consisting of one lecture a week on present-day topics, f o r all those who are interested. Professor Wichers, who, perhaps, does more reading along historical limes than any other person in this part of the state, with a keen annalytical mind, is presenting present-da^ movements to us, tracing their origin and showing u s their relation to world History. That the student body is highly interested in such a course is shown by thei^ ateftdance not only, but iby their efforts to get as much of it in their notebooks as possible. |It is indfeed Ja course which one who seeks to become a cultured citizen cannot afford to miss.
