We all know that the basketball team is
going to Saratoga to play in the finals. Our
team has played good ball all season and they
certainly deserve to play in the tournament.
It costs money to travel. The M.B.A.A.
has only enough money to send the team to a
limited number of games during the regular
season. Any extra games cost the M.B.A.A.
more money, and their budget will not balance
at the end of the year.

FOOTBALL
Yes? or No?
The second panel discussion on
the question of having football at
Milne was held February 5. Mr.
Richard Montgomery, English de-
partment, presided over the discus-
sion which gave both students and
faculty an opportunity to discuss
the problem, Dr. Fossieck, Mr.
Montgomery and Coach Grogan
represented the faculty and Bennett
Thomson, Richard Nathan, Bruce
Fitzgerald, and Sally Simmons pre-
sented the students’ viewpoint.
Mr. Montgomery presented some
desirable and undesirable aspects
of having football. The panel dis-
cussion was then opened to ques-
tioning. One of the most important
questions that was brought up was
about a field on which to hold the
games. Coach Grogan said that
* Milne has no control over Bever-
wyck park, but in past years Milne
has been able to use the field. An-
other question was whether or not
Milne would have any other teams
in the area with which to hold con-
tests. Coach pointed out that there
are a number of six-man teams in
the area that would be willing to
slay Milne.
The discussion was then opened
to questions from the audience. The
most important question that the
audience asked was about the ex-
pense of having a footbal lteam.
Coach stated that having a football
‘m is very expensive and in order
have a team, the students must
find some way to raise the money.
Coach put the point very bluntly
by saying that the students would
have to decide whether or not they
were willing to make sacrifices in
order to have football. It was de-
cided by a vote in homeroom that
the panel discussions should be con-
tinued.
Sigma Wins
Bowling Party
On Saturday, January 31, Quin
and Sigma held their joint bowling
party at the Playdium. This affair
was attended by 26-girls and even
a few male members of our school.
The gals bowled two games and
took the highest of the two for their
actual score. The scores of all the
girls in either sorority were aver-
aged to find out which group won.
‘According to custom, the society

Since the results have been posted
on the bulletin board on the first

“Charmed, I’m sure,” might very
well be Doris’ remark as she and
Jerry imitate a fakir and his snake.
With all that crazy rhythm. it’s
not strange that Doris loves to

other likes include driving to Troy
at 3:30, and Bennett’s chartreuse hat.
“Doree” has the dubious distinc-
tion of not liking pi: Also among
her dislikes are those little beasties
who ask, “How tall are you?”
This gal’s been treasurer of her

sentative, feature editor of the
Crimson and White, treasurer of the
dramatics club, staff member of the
Bricks and Ivy, secretary of her
class for the last two years, and a
CS.P.A. delegate. This year she’s
M.C. of Quin. Of course, we all
remember the wonderful job she
did playing “Essie” in the senior
play.

likes anything with four angles,

INDOOR SPORTS
ARE THE THING
By JERRY HANLEY
With thoughts of the coming card
party sifting through my head, my
cogitary processes recently became
focused on the subject of various
indoor sports (no Dad! not that
one). While the average American
male has no peer on the subject of
baseball or football, what he doesn’t
know about several of the less
muscular amusements, even though
he may play them himself, would
probably fill the library of Congress
twice over.
Chess Is a Real Gone Game
For some reason or other, the
mere mention of the word chess is
enough to make many people turn
green in the gills and execute a
hasty exit. ‘The common belief
seems to be that chess is a game
for the highly intelligent only. This
is not so. Any fool can play chess
and win. I know, I’ve done it my-
self.
The only real disadvantage to
chess is the extremely long time it
takes to play a game. Many experts
at the game find it convenient to
keep a calendar handy.
Personally, though, it has always
been my opinion that chess is for
the squares.
Card Games Most Popular
Card games are probably the most
popular among the indoor set. Out
of the long list of games in this
category, poker and bridge are, un-
doubtedly, the favorites.
Nearly everybody plays these two
games but very few people really
know as much as they think they
do about them. In fact, about the
only people who are at all well in-
formed about them are the ones who
use methods which are frowned
upon by Mr. Hoyle in order to win.
Some of these methods, by the way,
are interesting, and’ also worth
while, to know about.
Most people seem to think that
the gentlemen, usually called card
sharps, who employ the above men-
tioned’ tactics always have, as their
basic tool, some marked cards. This
is untrue. A self-respecting sharp
would rather be seen playing Old
Maid than using marked cards. The
real experts depend on nothing more
than their own digital dexterity to
keep them ahead of the game. Un-
fortunately ,some practice is re-
quired in the use of these tactics
and it is not recemmended that
people who dislike _ prison-pallor
gray in their outfitting should take
up this intriguing sport too seri-
ously.
Dice Is a Sucker Game
The real big money game, though,
is dice. This is where the gentlemen
of dishonest means may be most
often found. The reason for this is
that this is a real sucker game. In
“craps,” the most popular of these
mes, not one person out of a hun-
dred knows the correct odds on the
various side bets. Even if he does,
he is apt to lose his shirt.
After having mulled over the
above facts, it has occurred to me
that indoor sports just aren’t for
me. Tennis anyone?

ADELPHOIL
By GENE CASSIDY
Milne’s oldest society, Adelphoi
Literary, was founded in 1890. At
that time, Milne was called the
Normal School and was situated on.
Willett Street. A member of the
Inter-Society council, Adelphoi is
very active in all Q.T.S.A. functions.
In the early days of its existence, it
was devoted primarily to the pro-
motion of literary interests and now
it is primarily a fraternal organiza-
tion to promote brotherhood.
This year, Adelphoi has many
plans, the first of which is a joint
banquet with Theta Nu.
David Clarke, president, told this
reporter, “We hope to make this
year the most successful in
Adelphoi’s history.” Other officers
are Birchard Walker, veep; Gene
Cassidy, treasurer; and Don Smith,
secretary. Dr. Carleton E, Moose
is our faculty adviser. We have
16 members and hope for a great
many more.
