Hope's court squad ran true to dope lost Friday night and completely outclassed the South- CUte quintet at Carnegie gym In the nrsoclatlon opener and brought home the bacon to the time of 35-24. Hope continued the strong showing made against her opponents this year and the visiting aggregation was running up the score to a 26-6 lead at the half. Previous to Friday night's game. Hope, HHlsdale. Albion and Alma were considered contenders for the M. I. A. A. championship. Hope. hav-. Ing eliminated Hillsdale and Alma having nosed out Albion last Friday, are now fighting It out for the asso- ciation leadership. These two will meet here at Carnegie gym January 20. In a game that will undoubtedly have a very great bearing upon the championship. Hope's prospects are Indeed very rosy and If t h e fellows can keep up the good work done so far. the championship banner should be adorning our gym walls next spring. Piling up an early lead, the Orange and BlUe enjoyed a comfortable mar- gin throughout the game, being headed only once and that at the be- ginning of the game. Hillsdale while never really threatening rallied short- ly after the beginning of the second period and displayed a fast offensive attack but Hope readily recovered and played on a par with the Bap- tists the remainder of the game.

Former Hopeite Passes During the past vacation friend* and former classmatcs were shock- ed and saddened by the news from the South of the death of EI«le Dj Glee. Elule entered Hope with tlie class of 1930 and this year had been working in an office In her home city Blloxl. MlHslsslppi. She died Christmas morning very un- expectedly after an Illness of only about three days. Those who knew her will always remember her for her happy, cheerful disposition and her willingness to help when help was needed. Though It Is hard to understand why one so young uhould be taken we ask with Longfellow— "Oh what hadst thou to do with cruel death Who was so /ull of Ufe."

It was decided to erect a fraternity house at a coat of 140,000 that will provide dormitory facllitiea for 20 students. In 1934 the Frater- nal society will bo one hundred years old and the fraternity house will be the society's memorial to Hope col- lege on thai occasion. Initial subscriptions were taken Fri- day night at the meeting and the result was very satisfactory, although no figures have as yet been given out. While the meeting was held l^ere similar meetings of Fraternal society alumni were being held In Albany and New York City wltl> a similar purpose In view. The project of the erection of a fraternity house waa scheduled tp he discussed at those meetings also, and the plan will be proposed to all the branches of the society In various parts of the coun- try. A. De Groot served as toastmaster. The program was given under the general idea of a ship. The following toasts were responded to :Frater J. A. Dykstra. Grand Rapids, 'The Design- er." Prater Earnest Brooks, of Hol- land. "Reality," Prater Stanley pe ' Pree, pf Zeeland. "RfWffffl" (vgc^l solos, accompanied by H. ^teflei^s)} Prater H.

Announcement of the survivors of this cut was made on December 16. The squad of twelve will compete In later contests to determine the definite personnel of the varsity de- bating trios. Coach Lubbers Is now working with the foUowing twelve jnen: Affirmative: Sluyter, Mulder, VerHey, Vlaser. Wade, Van Malsen; negative: Hogenboom, Bloemers, Hy- Ink. Bast. Steketee and McCarTQl Plans are now being formulated to hold some purely practice debates among the twelve and later to have a final elimination debate. Pr^iUw debates will probably held this week. After the final cu.t, all effort will be spent In completing an ace- hlgh case for both negative and af- firmative debating teams for use In inter-collegiate contesta. The first league debate is scheduled for the early part of February and other meets follow soon afterward. NEW YELLMASTER PEPS UP SPECTATORS A great deal of credit Is due to En^rt Slagh for his superb yell I^Ung at the Hillsdale game l^t Friday night. This was tlft. first time that he has appeared in this role and he playtd hie part well. With a ttttlt more coaching and experience he should be cne of the >«ll leaders that Hope 1^ evef turned out. Lin(ly Spanned The Atlantic; Gertrude Ederle Swam Channel But Doff Hats To a Hope Frosh Is traveling 1.800 miles home and back In a topless Fcyd jitney, wearing a green pot. goggles, a Wue overcoat four UucHle arctics. 0, V. D's and a light shirt. Open at the collar, in the worst snowstorms of the year, your idea pf a grand holiday trip? And would you end up Llndy-like and Miy: "I'd do it again' 1 . Well that's what one of Hope's gritty Frpsh did in seeing his New Yor^ friends, Disappointed by one Ford owner because of chilling storms, the sandy yearling enlisted H buddy; bought a car and left Hol- land, with spectators gainhiing on which one of the four cylinders of Ilia buggy was doing all the work, Within one hour after school recess began on December 16. Gaping Thomases didnt give him a Chance to get to Uve metropolis. But. brav- ing the Mizaard at the rate of eigh- teen miles per hour, having one flat, his pal's pockets rifled and with little sleep and leas food, he aet his foot on the home door^step on Beoember 19, Vacation weather waa One. But. the day of his return trip saw the Frosh forsaken, by his friend of the homeward trip, because of parental pressure, clothed in the same resort- ing clothes, and traveling In the top- less Henry through blinding rain- storms. Cops now threatened to pinch him for exceeding the speed limit in knots per hour. Strategy featured the return trip when he backed up a hill to force the meagre supply of gas to the engine, avoided cops with his 1927 licenses, and pre- tended to switch on worthless lights as officers hailed him during the last sixty miles of the dark ride without lights. Every one of the three nights, he was soaked to the waistline: often, he warmed his senseless hands on the steaming radiator ;then, he drummed' his left hand against the side of the wagon to keep up circulation: exer- cised heartily as he changed four flats and finally reached m a driving blizard on Sunday night, January 1st. with loU of pep left to say: "Happy New Tear." '28 ANCHOR STAFF ELECTED BY SUBSCRIBERS MEETING New Until June—Busy Basketball. Term Papers Exams. Oratorical Contests Baseball. Track. Dramatics. Eamas Again. AD IFINITUM? DRAMA C U S S PLATERS ARE HARD AT WORK THE YOUNGEST" WILL BE ACTED BY AMATEUS CAST OF STUDENTS DEAN DURFEE IS COACH While most students weie enjoying a real vacation during the Christmas holidays, the cast of the drama class play was hard at mork memorlzlrlg its lines. The rehearsals began as soon as the students returned from their homes and will continue Intens- ively throughout the month until the presentation of the play. The play chosen this year Is "The Youngest." by Phillip Barry. It Is a present day comedy In three acts. One couldn't help but enjoy every bit of It. The family situations developed will not be unknown to anyone. It will be Interesting to watch the trials and tribulations of this "family vic- tim" who later becomes the family hero and the head of the house. Tne cast Is composed of Christine Webb. Ruth Kennell, Martha Van Buren. Marrlet De Groot. Ellda Den Herder. Kenneth Mook, William Klerk. Everett Bekken and Julius Schlpper. Each one has been picked by Mrs. Durfee for his marked dramatic abU- ity and his fitness for the part to be taken. They are all working hard and under the able direction of Mrs. Dur- fee the play Is assured of success. The drama class play Is always an event In the school year and one which Is always greatly enjoyed. We know that our amateur actors are capable of very fine things. But this Is going to be the best ever, so let's boast "The Youngest." College Band Plays at Game Make Fine Progreas Amid the dull thunder of the bass- drum, the blare of cornets and trom- bones, the shrill blast of clarinets, and the steady booming of a beauti- ful bass-horn, our College Band made Its triumphal entry Into the limelight of a public appearance last Friday evening, between the halves of the Hope-HUlsdale game. Under the able direction of Nick Gosling, and Including among Its membership such talented musicians as Ray Steketee, Edwin Talman. Rus Brink, Howard Scholten, Walter Hylnk, Harold Maatman. Marvin Tin- holt, Franklin Rynbrandt, Vic Ver- mulen, Bernard Koekoek, Donald Van de Bunte, and Herman Laug, the band bids fair to be a feature among our campus activities, and as suck deserves loyal student support. Altho only one week old, having been organized last Wednesdsy, ttie band has made rapid but decldodly firm steps In the direction of "bigger and better bands." Already a report- oire of three selections has been ac- quired, and a courage and an esprit the corps has been gained that will go far along the road towards making the band felt—and heard as a potent factor In the development of College spirit. Alumnus Aaron Ungersma did a per- riotic thing at the basketball game when he made a brave attempt to lead Hopeites in the singing of: "In That Dear Old Town of Holland, Michigan." o •arle Slagh, in the Hope yell-master - regalia, contorted his body very well for hla first attempt BLOEMERS AND KRMZINOA ARE CHOSEN FOR MAJOR JOBS START FEBRUARY FIRST Small Crowd Made quick Work of Choosing New Paper Workers Lest Wednesday evening, a spirited election was held at Wlnant's Chapel, for the purpose of selecting a new Anchor Staff from among the nomin- ees whose csndldscy was the result of a staff session Just prior to the Christmas vacation. The only trouble of the metelng was experienced by the chairman and his assistants, who had some diffic- ulty In finding seating accommoda- tion, and In handling, the unusually large army of voters who turned out for the meeting. However, after much deliberation, and many ballotlngs, the following staff was elected: Editor In Chief: Harms Bloemers. Assistant Editor: Eva Tysse. Associate Editor: Russel Smith. Business Manager: Herman Krulz- inga. Assistant Business Manager: John Hamburg. Circulation Manager: Herman Laug. Sports Editor: John Nauta. Humor Editors: Donald Wade, Nlel Webb. Campus: Eleanor Verwey. Alumni: Evelyn Welmers. Exchange: Leonard Wlllett. Among the personel of the new staff will be noticed names of mem- bers of the former administration. Our new Editor-in-Chief was form- erly our head reporter. Don Wade, our dashing humorist, was returned to office In short order, while Wlllett and Smith, who formrely held report- orlal positions, have been Jacked up to the more dignified positions of Exchange Editor, and Associate Editor respectively. With such radical and sweeping changes brought in the staff, it is only logical to assume that changes as volte-face will be noticed in the policies of our paper. Not that a change in policy is particularly need- ed, or even desired, but it is to be looked for rather as the Inevitable result of the bringing Into play of new angles of thot, the Introduction of new Ideas In presentation, and in the employment of htlherto uncalled upon talent. The present staff feels confident that these new climbers of the Mount will prove themselves worthy of the trust reposed In them, and further, wishes to extend to them, heartiest and most sincere congrat- ulations. Vacation Times Give Way To Work ALL OVER BUT TELLING It's all over but the telling I But anyone standing in either of the halls anytime Tuesday or Wednesday might be pardoned for. supposing that the telling was the greater part of vacation. All the same it sure seemed good to see the old gang again even after a short absence of two weeks. Christmas is the only time of year when we can And no envy in our hearts for those Hopltes who live in Holland. The cynic may compare our attitude to that of the idiot who was pounding himself on the head with a hammer because .as he said. "It feels so good to quit", but still we hold that the kick which out -of- town students get out of vacation goes a long way toward compensating for being away from their native haunts for a large portion of the time. Van Vleckltes who braved the ter- rors of loneliness report that a the stranger would never old place because'of the quiet. All testify to a very restful and vacation, broken by a few wild —of which the

Former Hopeite Passes

During the past vacation fr iend*

and former classmatcs were shock-

ed and saddened by the news f rom

the South of the death of EI«le

D j Glee. Elule entered Hope with

tlie class of 1930 and this year had

been working in an office In her

home city Blloxl. MlHslsslppi. She

died Chris tmas morning very u n -

expectedly a f t e r a n Illness of only

abou t three days.

Those who knew her will always

remember h e r for her happy,

cheerful disposi t ion and her

willingness t o help when help was

needed.

Though It Is hard to unders tand

why one so young uhould be taken

we ask with Longfellow—

"Oh what hadst thou to do with

cruel death

Who was so /ull of Ufe."

STUDENTS

DEAN DURFEE IS COACH

While most s t uden t s weie enjoying

a real vacation dur ing the Chr is tmas

holidays, the cast of the d rama class

play was hard at mork memorlzlrlg

its lines. The rehearsals began as

soon as the s t uden t s re turned f rom

their homes and will cont inue Intens-

ively th roughout the month un t i l t he

presentat ion of the play.

The play chosen this year Is "The

Youngest." by Phill ip Barry. I t Is a

present day comedy In three acts. One

couldn ' t help bu t enjoy every bit of

It. The family s i tua t ions developed

will not be unknown to anyone. I t

will be Interesting to watch the tr ials

and t r ibula t ions of this "family vic-

t im" who later becomes the family

hero and the head of the house.

Tne cast Is composed of Chris t ine

Webb. R u t h Kennell , Mar tha Van

Buren. Marrlet De Groot. Ellda Den

Herder. Kenne th Mook, William Klerk.

Everett Bekken and Ju l ius Schlpper.

Each one has been picked by Mrs.

Durfee for his marked dramat ic abU-

ity a n d his f i tness for the par t to be

taken. They are all working hard a n d

under the able direction of Mrs. Dur -

fee the play Is assured of success. T h e

drama class play Is always an event

In the school year and one which Is

always greatly enjoyed. We know t h a t

our ama teu r actors are capable of

very fine things. Bu t th is Is going to

be t h e best ever, so let's boast "The Youngest."

College Band Plays at Game

Make Fine Progreas

Amid the dull t hunde r of the bass-

drum, t h e blare of cornets and t r om-

bones, t he shrill blast of clarinets,

and t h e steady booming of a beaut i -

ful bass-horn, our College Band made

Its t r iumpha l en t ry Into the l imelight

of a public appearance last Friday

evening, between the halves of t h e

Hope-HUlsdale game.

Under the able direction of Nick

Gosling, and Including among Its

membership such talented musicians

as Ray Steketee, Edwin Talman. Rus

Brink, Howard Scholten, Walter

Hylnk, Harold Maatman. Marvin T in -

holt, Frankl in Rynbrandt , Vic Ver-

mulen, Bernard Koekoek, Donald Van

de Bunte , and Herman Laug, t h e

band bids fair to be a fea ture among

our campus activities, a n d as s u c k

deserves loyal s t u d e n t support .

Altho only one week old, having

been organized last Wednesdsy, t t ie

band has made rapid b u t decldodly

f i rm steps In t h e direction of "bigger

and be t te r bands." Already a repor t -

oire of three selections h a s been ac-

quired, and a courage a n d a n espri t

t h e corps has been gained t h a t will

go fa r along the road towards mak ing

t h e band fe l t—and heard as a po ten t

fac tor In the development of College spirit .

Small Crowd Made quick Work of

Choosing New Paper

Workers

Lest Wednesday evening, a spiri ted

election was held a t Wlnant ' s Chapel,

for the purpose of selecting a new

Anchor Staff from among the nomin-

ees whose csndldscy was the resul t of

a staff session Just prior t o the Chr i s tmas vacation.

The only trouble of the metelng

was experienced by the cha i rman and

his assistants, who had some diff ic-

ul ty In f inding seating accommoda-

tion, and In handl ing, the unusual ly

large army of voters who t u r ne d out

for the meeting.

However, a f te r m u c h deliberation,

and m a n y ballotlngs, the following

staff was elected:

Editor In Chief: Harms Bloemers.

Assistant Editor: Eva Tysse.

Associate Editor: Russel Smi th .

Business Manager: Herman Krulz-

inga.

Assistant Business Manager : J o h n

Hamburg .

Circula t ion Manager: Herman Laug.

Spor ts Edi tor : J o h n Nauta .

Humor Editors: Donald Wade, Nlel

Webb.

Campus : Eleanor Verwey.

A l u m n i : Evelyn Welmers.

Exchange: Leonard Wlllett.

Among the personel of t h e new

staff will be noticed names of mem-

bers of the former adminis t ra t ion .

Our new Editor-in-Chief was fo rm-

erly our head reporter. Don Wade,

our dashing humoris t , was r e tu rned

to office In shor t order, while Wlllett

a n d Smi th , who formrely held report-

orlal positions, have been Jacked u p

to t h e more dignified posit ions of

Exchange Editor, and Associate

Editor respectively.

With such radical and sweeping

changes brought in the s t a f f , it is

only logical to assume t h a t changes

as volte-face will be noticed in the

policies of our paper . Not t h a t a

change in policy is par t icular ly need-

ed, or even desired, b u t i t is to be

looked for ra ther as the Inevitable

resul t of the bringing Into play of

new angles of tho t , t he In t roduct ion

of new Ideas In presentat ion, and in

the employment of h t l he r to uncalled

upon ta len t .

The present staff feels confident

t h a t these new climbers of the

Moun t will prove themselves worthy

of the t rus t reposed In t h e m , and

f u r t h e r , wishes to extend t o them,

hear t ies t and most sincere congrat-

ula t ions .

THE FAITHFUL FIFTY

The above title would fittingly apply to the two score and ten students who at tended the Anchor staff elections of the past week. When tellers and challengers had been appointed, it looked as though nobody would remain seated to do the voting.

The reason for this telephone booth crowd attend-ance does not seem very obvious. Announcement of the election was published in the last Anchor before the holi-days. Four f laming red signs were pasted in the hallways to remind subscribers of the meeting. And when the meeting was called, one was reminded of those fine crowds that at tend Hope's inspiring pep meetings. Of course, there were term papers to write. But, the election took exactly one hour. There was no announcement made from the Chapel platform. We have deprecated the re-strictions on that action for some time. Still these ex-tenuat ing circumstances do not condone the presence of a loyal f i f ty.

Present staff members feel no resentment for this condition except that it gives rise to a common objection tha t things are run by a minority. And they are when the majori ty does not appear . For, for tunately enough, the Anchor Constitution states that elections shall be made by the majori ty of those present at the meeting. Natural-ly tha t meant the majority of the minority last Wednes-day evening . Also, this is true of the average student gathering held during the past year.

Reference has been made to the dutiful two at-tendance of the pep meetings. When an at tempt was made to awake students out of an apparent coma just be-fore the first basketball game. leaders found that only a fa i thful f i f ty could sufficiently arouse themselves f rom their lethargies to appear for a little cheering. In short, things have been damnably dead. No pep—no spirit and no interest is the whole trouble. And yet everyone wants to be collegiate when enthusiasm is perhaps the primary earmark of a collegiate individual.

To suggest a remedy for this undesirable condition is indeed a herculean task. Education or legislation will not turn the trick and when they fail, we are against the wall. It seems that we can simply hope that some day Hope will have more fa i thful fifties.

THINGS

Thoreau, one of our own philosophers and keenest observers of nature is a more interesting personality than many of us often appreciate. I expect he got more real enjoyment out of his own mind and its application to nature and things living than many a millionaire gets out ot the wealth he has been at such pains to accumulate. Thoreau says in "Wolden" that he once picked up a stone of unusual beauty, and put it in his living room as an ornament. But, raid he, the thing collected dust, apd so much of his time was spent in dusting a thing while there was so much dust still to be removed from his min^i, tha t when a good lady offered him a door-mat as a gift , he he had not time for the stone, and threw it out. Again refused, prefer ing to wipe his feet on the grass ra ther than to have a door-mat to shake every now and then. Besides, when you begin with one thing you are not satis-lied with that, but go on collecting more things.

Thoreau's reasoning is even more applicable to-day than it was in his own time. How much superficial thinking, how much unnecessary expenditure of energy there is. Every day seems to increase it, and there seems no escape from the never-ending round of things. Talk with anyone you may happen to meet on the campus, and he will tell you how many goo3 intentions of his he has not had time for, nor can he account for the way the time has gone. One cannot draw the line absolutely and say these are good and these bad for your mental develop-ment, f o r what are things for one may be mind stuff for another. But there should be a balance: Some things are necessary; others add a great deal to the comforts of liv-ing; and yet,-when year follows year and in spite of all our good resolutions we are still tied (and more secure-ly) by things. Something drastic has to be done. 44Rule things, don' t let things rule you" has been said so often tha t it has become trite, and yet it has never been a more practical bit of advice than at present.

All this sounds like sermonizing—and perhaps it^ is; nevertheless the beginning of a new year is a good time to unwrap our minds f rom the swaddling clothes of things and give it a chance to grow.

M. vt iu l fellows took b rune t t e s to

Grand Rapids last week to see: "Gen-

t lemen Prefer Blondes."

Rev. H. V. S Peeke. '87. in a recent

let ter said t h a t J a p a n has adopted

foreign music very freely, " i t u by n o

means u n c o m m o n to hear youngsters

on t he street whist l ing the 'Toreador

Song' or a s t r a in f rom Rlgolet to or

some other opera. I waa a t first

amused to find myself singing a h y m n

In church to t he t u n e of Home. Sweet

Home.' 'Awake, My Soul.' 'S t re tch Ev-

ery Nerve/ Is s u n g regularly to t he

t u n e of 'Should Old Acquaintance Be

Forgot. '—and the re are others .

I recently a t t ended and conducted,

in wha t I hope was a solemn manner ,

the devotional exercises a t a certain

school chapel. At the close one of t h e

American teachers, ra ther new to t he

country, played t he girls o u t with a

march. I t was a perfectly good march,

the air being f r o m the opera Martha,

bu t a ripple of amusemen t passed

over t he girls' faces, and I myself was

qu i te convulsed. The girls had known

f rom ihelr babyhood a song sung t o

t ha t tune , and I had heard my own

chi ldren t ing it in the nursery, none

of us ever suppos ng t h a t It was any-

th ing bu t a Japanese tune . A free

t rans la t ion of t he words would be.

"The old daddy drank whiskey, got

d runk and died, while old granny,

seeing this, was so f r igh tened , t h a t

she tumbled In a heap." No wonder

we were all amuaed.

I do not t h i n k tha t I have ever said

any th ing abou t the taxes of t h i s

country . They are like ce r ta in f a m o u s

languages—painful , f r equen t , and f ree .

There Is an Income tax. a household

tax which is assessed on t he fami ly

cooking stove aa a un i t b u t a deter -

n.lned in o ther ways a» to a m o u n t .

Besides th is t h e r e Is a tax on real es-

tate. on bicycles, on dogs, on business,

and on various o ther th ings besides. I

recently paid a yearly tax of $2.30 be-

cause I employ a housemaid. I have

noted tha t In some places a tax Is as-

sessed on each safe . though no t on

money vaults bu i l t In. B u t we get a

good deal for ou r money. The roads

are well kept. T h e educat ional system

is a wonder, t h o u g h no more perfect

t h a n any o the r educat ional system.

Almost everything Is looked af ter . I n

the spring and fall the poUce come

a round to see if you have cleaned

houae. One feels a t first t h a t t h i s IH

an a f f ron t to one's digni ty, b u t It l i

a f t e r all a comfort to know t h a t no t

only yourself bu t all your neighbors

w e obliged to keep t he open spots

and the h idden spots cleaned up.

I hear very l i t t le a b o u t t he Exclu-

sion law passed a couple of years ago

by which Japanese emigran ts were ab -

solutely forbidden our American

shores, b u t I hear enough and sense

enough to know t h a t t h e Japanese

hear t was sorely wounded by t h e

manner In which the th ing was done.

I t was entirely possible to have

achieved the same results, which have

the i r desirable side, and still have

avoided wounding t he reasonable self-

respect of the Japanese people. I m a r -

vel a t t h e creditable m a n n e r In which

they have conducted themselves unde r

the circumstances. As far as I am

perconally concerned. I experienced

noth ing bu t the greates t f r iendl i -

ness."

Just as Interes t ing f rom one point of

to get t he views of nat ives concerning

foreigner there was no t a Christ ian,

yet each stressed the pecul iar needs of

his own count ry . One Hindu woman

was especially Interes t ing. Although a

Old records show that the cost of Columbus' first expedition to America amounted, in modem exchange, to only $7200. To finance Columbus, Isabella, Queen of Spain, offered to pawn her jewels. Today .Word comes from Spain indicating tha t a twentieth Century importation from the new world is fast effect-ing a sufficient saving to ransom many royal jewels. The Spanish Northern Railway reports tha t the American equipment with which in 1924 the railroad electrified a mountainous section of its lines from Ujo to Pajares has accomplished the following economies:

1. A 55% saving in the cost of power. 2. A reduction of 40% in the number of engine miles for

the same traffic hcndlcd. 3. A saving of 73^% in the cost of repairs and upkeep

for locomotives. 4. A saving of 63% in crew expenses. 5. A reduction cf 31% in the cost of moving a ton-

kilometer of freight.

In every part of the world, electricity has replaced less efndent methods and is saving sums far greater than the ransom of a queen's jewels. You will always find it an important advantage in your work and in your home.

FROSH COURT TEAM TRIMS RUSK CO, REPRESENTATIVES

SMITH BEST FOR YEARLINGS IN

PRELIMINARY WHOOP

MATCH

In a game preliminary to the Hope-

Hlllsdole affair at Carnegie gym Fri-

day night, the Hope Preshmnn squad,

meeting the Holland Rusk outfit ,

showed much promise of developing

Into a smooth-working five, taking

the city league team Into camp In

a fast, hard-fought game with a score

of 23-16.

Piling u p anearly lead, the Fresh-

man played consistently and clearly

outclassed their opponents, and lead-

ing at the half 13-2. Their playing

from every angle was superior to that

of the "biscuit" men and repeatly

they broke through to score the ne-

cessary points.

Schouten used his entire squad

against the visitors, b u t each com-

bination seemed to func t ion well

against t h e Invaders. Arendshorst 's

bunch rallied too late In the final

period, fall ing short by seven points,

t h e yearlings being ahead at the final

whistle 23-16.

Last year, the Reserve-team showed

Itself superior to the city league

teams and apparently the Freshman

are capably following In t h e footsteps

of their predecessors. Jack has some

fine material on the '31 squad and

no doubt some of them will make the

varsity next year.

Smith looked best for the Frosh

being high point man, while De

Waard and Klaasen showed up well

for Holland Rusk.
