During the beginning of the school
year, tne tunnel from Richzrdson hall
to Huste.d Hell was open to the students
of Milne. this errangement wes very
suitable .nd precticelly everyone took
advanva.e of the situation. Suddeniy
the se wes closed. The reason for
this remcinud « mstery end so the stu-
dent council investigeted.
Nben they looked into the matter,
the, decidec to get up a petition to
reopen the tunnel, This question came
up 4 lon, time cgoe AS yet, nothing has
been done coout it. Wheat is the matter
with the stucent cou:cil? They are not
usuclly so lex. Why should they start
being so now?
ie understand that they were doing
somethings If they were, we would ap-
preciate it i1 they would finish it up.
The use of the jussege saved a lot of
time for those who ere sl Getcrse

THE COM ENTATOR
Yeutre righte Milne beat Vincenti.n
11-8. But only in the first half, Vin-
centiin took us (as everyone does in the
second hilf) so that we Milne spectators
saw the score, 2717 fevoring Vincentian,
adorning the scorebocrd at the end of
the game,
Tne team geve Vincentian a grent
fight with Beagle cnd Creesy as high
scorer@sTheir defense w s much too strong
for us to brestk down, and their sj,evud
much faster. If the Milne "Half Game
Team" hid been cable to play 2 second half
as good is the first,it would have resul-
ted in i victory for us.
Th.t brings up « point which I think
4s of vitcl importance, th.t of proper
training. First of cll we h-ven't a rege
ular fulltime coache Two and spmetimes
three and four different State College
fellows help our teem in a yeire Our
coaches, never experts in basket. ball
themselves, never heave the time to fige

to practice thems
Secondly ,the time our team gets to
practice is foolishe Figure it out for
yourself. There's one gym, and in that
gym two State College girls’ teams plcy,
two Stcte boys tecms, Juricr girls class-
es, a girls' virsity team cond muny other
gym classese Basket bi 11 is Mtlne's maj-
or sport, and the mjor teum in
that gets only one or two hours GQ
week to practice.
The third thing is luck of maturicl.
Milne is 2 sm:1l school ond lucks t-lent
in 111 sports. Boys interested in sports
go to other schools bec:use they realize
we do not support 2 recl sports progri.ms

the truth. and the result of this kind
of a team, coach snd school is luck of
