On Wednesday night the varsity
basketball squad will inaugurate its
home season against a strong Clark-
son quintet, This will be the first
and only appearance that the Eagles
will make on the home court before
the Christmas furlough.
Because of intervening circum-
stances it will be impossible to have
‘a pep rally in Assembly today. How-
ever the team is deserving of all the
support that the students can give
them, and a pep rally will show the
boys that the students are really
behind them.
Pep Rally in Commons
Therefore, the cheerleaders have
decided to have a pep rally Wed-
nesday noon in the Commons.
Mimeographed sheets with the va
ious cheers on them will be dis-
tributed. These will include the
State College Fight Song. Everyone
should make an attempt to be
present to arouse the basketball
players to a fighting mood, which
they will need against Clarkson that
evening.
Although the squad returned
vietory-less from last week's north-
n trip, they neverthel played
as well as could be expected. We
must ize that both Clarkson and
St. Lawrence have teams of much
better playing ability.
Muscles Stiff
Then, too, we must not forget
that the players rode all day on
the train and then were playing even
before they realized that they were
in Potsdam, Their muscles were too
stiff to offer their best for the
game. In the contest with the
Larries, the Statesmen played better
ball than the score indicates, Only
a half dozen points separated the
opponents throughout most of the
game.
During the past week all squad
members have shown considerable
improvement in ballhandling and
cutting, and they hope to redeem
themselves in front of local fans.
The fast break, which was to
have been one of State's main
offensives, was used effectively
against them in their trip north,
Moose Gerber was informed by
his physician that he will be phy
cally fit to play basketball within
a few weeks.

St. Lawrence, Clarkson
Trip Quintet In North
The Purple and Gold Eagles will
be seeking their first win tomorrow
night when they tackle the RPI En-
gineers in Troy. Returning from an
unsuccessful trip, the team has been
practicing new plays and correcting
their mistakes in order to obtain
better results in Troy.
Besides boasting a strong quintet,
the Engineers offer their annual ob-
stacle, the size of their court, often
termed “the miniature prairie.”
Workouts at Siena and last week-
end's contests should have condi-
tioned the players for this game.
This will be the opening contest for
RPI and it will give them their first
chance to test last yei brilliant
freshman team in varsity competi-
tion.
Meet Clarkson Here
Next Wednesday evening the Page
Hall gym will be the scene of State's
first home contest, when Clar
makes its annual appearance, Though
the Techmen proved vastly superior
at Potsdam, the Page Hall court and
recent drills may change the aspects
of the game.
Arriving at Potsdam an hour and
a half late, the players put up a
hard-spirited fight, which — was
nevertheless, unequal to that of the
Tech team. A wide breach in the
score held throughout the game, as
the home team swamped State by a
53-29 score. Smith and Navarro of
the lucals scorn sixteen and ten
points respective, to take scoring
honors for the evening, and nearly
duplicate the total score of ten State
players who saw action, Combs,
Marsland and Bora divided eighteen
points equally to make up the major
portion of the offense
Lose 'To St, Lawrence
After a short night at Potsdam,
the team entrained to Canton where
they met St. Lawrence in an after
noon tilt, The Larries took their
measure 48-35 by virtue of an early
first quarter 17-4 lead, Though the
Statemen, led by Hansen who netted
twelve points and Marsland who
garnered 7 closed this lead to 22-17
at halftime, they were unable to
emerge victorious.
It was a big Irishman named
O'Connor who dropped, tapped, and
tossed in eight baskets and a foul
shot for a tolal of seventeen points.
Of course, Varsoke's thirteen points
didn't hinder the Li s’ cause, but
it was the former who spelled defeat
All of State's reserves were pressed
into service and several of them,
especially Rubach, showed flashes of
ability and spirit

The first personality to be con-
sidered in this column, which is to
be a regular feature, is the man who
was acting captain of the team for
the first game of the season, Frank
Hansen.
Frank is a seasoned varsity play-
er, having played on the varsity for
three years, as well as on the Frosh
team, and at the Troy Orphan Asy-
lum before coming to State. Ath-
letics has been his big extracurri-
cular activity at State; he a
member of MAA, and plays in all
the intra-mural leagues, except of
course, basketball,
As to his private life, we are
sorry to have to report that there
is absolutely nothing for a scandal-
monger to sink his or her teeth
into. In fact, Frank is almost the
epitome of perfection. He doesn't
smoke to excess, d nor
does he have any steady girl-friend
apparently (And. what can a
scandal-monger peddle unless it is
something about wine, woman, or
song?)

Intramural Loop
With 2 Victories
Last Thursday's action in the
intramural league brought the first
of the year's upsets as the Ramblers
defeated the once victorious KDR
five, 22-17, in the second game.
In the first contest a strong SLS
quintet downed the Finks, 28-14.
Playing spirited ball against KDR,
the Ramblers dropped in the first
counter, and went on to take an
11-9 lead at the half. During the
second half, they increased the lead
and rolled in to the victory, much
aided by Dingman, who sank sev-
eral spectacular one-handers. Beach
and Pfaff stood out for the losers
with 7 and four points respectively.
In the opening game of the eve-
ning the Finks fell as helpless vic-
tims to SLS, who put forth the
strongest team to be seen yet in the
league. With Hippick dropping in
16 points alone and Guarino con-
stantly breaking up the Fink's of

And Now, Tomorrow
‘Tomorrow is the last day that Miss Sara ‘T.
DeLancy, for two and one-half years Dean of
Women, will be with us, She leaves State Col-
lege to join the overseas division of the American
Red Cross. It was a difficult choice for her to
make, but since she herself decided her course,
it is not for us to question her decision, America
is at and Dean DeLaney seeks active par-
ticipation, She is indeed very courageous. For
the student body, the News bids her “bon
voyage” with the fervent hope that she will be
happy in her new post,
To Dr. Ellen Stokes, her successor, we pledge
our undivided cooperation, Hers will be a dif-
ficult change to make, from Instructor in Mathe-
matics to Dean of Women, but we sincerely be-
lieve that she has the qualities which the office
demands. She will assume her duties ata crucial
moment in the history of the College, indeed, in
the history of the world.

War Fronts by Feigenbaum
Rommel Retreating Into Tunisia
Hammered By Allied Aircraft
The Berlin radio reported this
week that General B. L, Montgom-
ery had thrown his powerful
British 8th, Army in a smashing
attack against the forces of Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel at El
Aghelia in North Africa, and that
Rommel had been forced to retreat
before this powerful offensive. The
truth of the matter is that Mont-
gomery had stopped his chase of
Rommel across 600 miles of desert
to give his wearied men a well-
earned rest, and to bring up more
men and supplies for the final at-
tempt to crack the fortifications
which Rommel had supposedly
thrown up at the narrow bottleneck
at El Agheila. The threat of a
British flanking move from the south
caused Rommel to order a general
retreat into Tunisia. Rommel’s re-
treat so far is orderly, and he is
taking everything with him. How-
ever, British and American ai
crafts are bombing and strafing his
retreating columns mercilessly.
The road along which Rommel is
withdrawing follows the coast, and
skirts the mountains on the land
side. This terrain prevents the
British from encircling the Germans,
and now they can do nothing but
chase Rommel into Tunisia without
being able to encircle him or de-
stroy him. A backward chase is a
long one, and the wily German com-
mander may still be able to make
contact with the Nazi forces fight-
ing in Northern Tunisia.
Meanwhile, the Allied forces ad-
vancing into Tunisia from the east
have received a temporary setback.
Li of advanced fighier plane
has caused the Allies to lose
control of the air, and the deadly
German 88mm. guns blasted ad-
vancing American tanks. Allied
headquarters have explained the
cause of this, Due to Admiral
Darlan’s unexpected aid in the
capitulation of the French African
colonies, the Allied found them-
selves with less losses than they
expected, but with not enough
strength to advance into Tunisia
safely. However, the decision was
made to advance despite lack of
strength, and the temporary Ger-
man success had been expected.
Arrival of Allied reinforcements
will soon drive the Germans back
into Bizerte and Tunis.
The Russian offensive continues
along the front despite stiffened
German resistance. The battle in
Russia is slow and grinding due to
the German defense positions which
have been built to fight independent
of each other and: to take a terrific
toll of the enemy. Heavy snowfall
has wrecked the vaunted Nazi
mechanized army, but at the same
time it has slowed the Russian ad-
vance. The hardest fighting is tak-
ing place around Stalingrad where
the Germans have — unsuccessly
counter-attacked in a desperate a
tempt to halt the Russian enc’
cling movement. The Red Army is
also advancing toward Rhzev due
west of Moscow.
General MacArthur reported that
the American and Australian forces
had finally captured the last Japa-
nese stronghold of Buna on the
Island of New Guniea, The fall of
the port climaxed months of fight-
ing in the jungle and dense under-
growth of the tropics. The Japs
attempted to land invasion forces on
the island, but Allied planes took
a heavy toll of the Jap ships, and
broke up the fleet. A few troops
did succeed in getting ashore, but
United Nations’ forces are moving
them up.
Communications
To the Editor:
In last week's issue of the News,
a lecture of Professor Donnal V
Smith of the Social Studies Depart-
ment merited front page recognition,
From the contents of the article
written in the generality and am-
biguity paralleled only by the At-
lantic Charter I was, with much dif-
ficulty, able to discern that the topic
and discussion concerned the “role
of the student during war times.”
By the further elimination of a
series of incongruous contradictions
I concluded that the solution offered
for the elimination of conflicting
thoughts and doubts from students
mind's could be accomplished by r
suming a “little good hard work,
presumably study, and relying upon
the activities of normal times to win
the war
Since I know the editor is bound
conscientiously to interpret the lec~
tures in the light intended rather
than distort the material to coincide
with his personal prejudices, and
since I hesitate to question the in-
tegrity of our esteemed editor, 1
shall proceed to challenge Professor
Smith directly, on the premise that
the opinions are his rather than the
editor's,
Yes, Professor Smith, we all

Dobbin, Childers
Speak On Xmas
In Other Lands
Last Monday evening at a joint
meeting of the French and Spanish
Clubs, Dr. M. Annette Dobbin, In-
structor in French; and Dr. James
Wesley Childers, Assistant Professor
of Spanish, presented the Christmas
customs of two lands, France and
Mexico.
Dr. Dobbin and Dr. Childers con-
trasted Christmas in America, where
“the snow-flecked tree, bubbling
lights and multi-colored decorations
are some of the aspects,” to that of
other countries. Dr, Dobbin con-
tinued, “Instead of hanging up a
stocking on Christmas Eve, the little
French children place a wooden
shoe in front of the fireplace. The
next day they find a small coin in-
side their sabots.”
Of Mexico, Dr Childers says,"Los
Hijos (Mexican children) have a
lovely thought concerning the Three
Wise Men, ‘They believe that one is
bl one is yellow, and one is
white —representing the three lead
ing races. The children place their
shoes on the balcony, They believe
that it is the Wi Men who leave
presents thei Continuing, Dr
Childers explained, “A quaint and
charming custom unofficially opens
the Mexican holiday season) Some
time between December 16 and De-
cember 25, posadas (sessions) wind
in and out of the streets, knocking
on doors, They get refused but
continue on their way until some
home admits them and invites them
to dine. This has all, of course,
heen prearranged. Most visitors
agree that the merrily-clad crowd
and the high lilting voices present
a fond picture of Mexico at Yule-
tide”
In both France and Mexico, Mid-
night Mass is an occasion of beau-
tiful dignity and solemnity, “The

Nurses Aides Find Work Satisfying, and Amusing
When a series of feminine giggles
accompanies a defensive statement,
“But I'd never done anything like
that before,” which in turn accom-
panies a crimson face with an em-
barrassed expression, chances are
there's a nurses’ aide in the group.
There are 51 of them—5l State
women working part-time at the
Albany Hospital, finding out that
the service they can give and the
satisfaction of aiding the war effort
are significant additions to the 30-
40 cents per hour remuneration.
They've pile up laughs and exper
ences, they've returned to their
group houses after working, tired
and sometimes a little too sick to
eat, but they agree, “It's worth it.”
The nur: aides began to filter
into the hospital two months. ago.
Some of them rolled up
sleeves and were prepared for
thing; others expected to ar
flowers for patients or to amu:
inmates of the children's ward.
by Jane Heath
At first the giggles were few,.
“Nothing funny happened to me; it
was all rather revolting,” frequently
summarized a day's work, One aide
who got her orders mixed was told,
“I thought you had to be smart
to go to State College.”
The first job of another aide was
to start changing the diapers of the
nursery residents. “I'd never even
held a baby before; I was just per-
plexed,” she confided to her room-
mate, Later she was permanently
igned to the maternity ward
where she reports, “The food is de-
licious, especially the desserts. Only
annoyance is the happy fathers who
always mill around.”
One of the workers started off
with the task of transferring an
elderly lady from a stretcher to her
bed. “I don't know how I did it.”
she related, “but the patient landed
in bed, groaning, with her head
where her feet should be and vice
Laughs, advice, and various anti-
dotes followed the story of the aide
who swallowed a mysterious pill.
“I was drinking a glass of fruit
juice which one of the patients had
left untouched,” she explained. “All
of a sudden a little round tablet slid
down with the juice.”
The second-floor aide has a
bundle of tales about “Moose” and
“Terry,” patients of a while back,
She began with “Wait till I tell you
about the time ‘Moose’ wanted . . .”
but her voice trailed off, Her facial
contortions and chuckling assured
listeners the story was funny but
not to be retold,
Gradually the gripes disappeared,
Some of the aides quit; sometimes
the vacancies were filled by others.
Many are veterans now.
Albany Hospital is almost as
popular as the Commons, but it is
much more popuar with patients,
The aides work comparatively short
hours, and the hospital maintains a
24-hour shift

Chatter
By
Pete Marchetta;
Reserve Fund ,
If MAA does nothing else this
year, it will have more than served
its purpose for the year. We say
this because we believe that in the
creation of a $1000 reserve to pro-
tect the students who participate
in athletics. The council has
started something which may prove
of great value as the years go by.
“This fund” stated Bombard, MAA
president, “will not interfere with
any fund now existant in the col-
lege. It is merely an additional
fund under MAA control.”
The need for such a control fund
was brought to light this fall when
Terry Smyth and “Moose” Gerber
were hurt while playing intramural
football. This emergency was met
by taking money from the Student
Association surplus.
Realizing the necessity for some
sort of precaution, MAA investiga-
ted possibilities of insurances. How-
ever, it came to the conclusion that
although an insurance company oft-
ered better security, the premiums
were in excess of MAA’s means.
Therefore, this scheme was advo-
cated whereby the left-over from
each year's MAA and WAA con-
tingency funds will be deposited in
the reserve fund rather than re-
turned to the Student Association
surplus.
The existence of this fund will
improve previous conditions which
made no allowance whatsoever for
a source of income with which to
pay for any serious accident which
might occur during participation in
athletics,
Ramblers, Potter
Still Undefeated
The intramural league standings
are beginning to take a definite
shape as a result of the games
played during the past week. The
Ramblers and Potter are now tied
for first with two and one victories
respectively against no defeats.
Potter Club's victory over
SLS in the opener last Thursday
showed that they definitely have the
material to make them contenders
for final honors, Led by Gipp and
Singer with 11 and 10 points re-
spectively, the State street lads
led all the way after matching
SLS's opening field goal. Hippick
was high for the losers with 13.
In the second game KB displayed
# much better combination than it
did ayainst KDR and s dd the
inexperienced Dorm t 18-18,
Botl their ball-handling and floor
yame were much improved and Bitt-
man and Leo Flax struck high
form with 33 points between them,
KB rang up their second straizht
Tuesday when they defeated the
Finks 23-19 in a rough knockout
wuine. Flax continued his inspired
drive with nine points for the win-
ners. Following this, KDR and the
Dorm put on another free-for-all
with the former gaining the nod
36-29 despite Chillemi’s 17 points
State Quintet Down RPI;
Overcome Lead to Win
Young Sinks Clincher
In State's Initial Win;
Players Earn Pants
The unpredictable Eagles chose
RPI as their first victim of the year,
and upset them 33-32 at Troy last
Saturday. A last half rally beyond
expectation was necessary to ac-
complish this feat as RPI succumbed
to State for the first time in their
new 87 gym.
The final score, even though it
was close was no indication of the
excitement and thrills of the game,
from the State viewpoint, of course.
The 33-32 score certainly doesn't
suggest an eight-point State deficit
at the half and a 23-11 score a few
minutes later, before the spirit and
conditioning of the Eagles closed
this lead.
New Pants!!!
Clad in the royal purple “warm-
up” pants, for which they had been
clamoring so long (the last State
team to wear them was the team of
"41, the squad entered the
grounds,” and after a disappointing
start earned the right to wear them.
Hatfield’s promise to let them keep
them if they won may or may not
have had its psychological effect,
but nevertheless, these purple togs
did add to the appearance of the
squad.
The defeat was bitter medicine
to RPI, for it was their second con-
secutive loss at the hands of Hat-
field’s charges. This defeat also
resulted in expressions of “sour
grapes” to year's ibi re-
garding State's “bandbox" gym, as
the Statesmen turned the trick on
their opponents own eccentric court
No Individual Stars
Individual stars were lacking in
State's lineup, but the main threat
in the RPI squad was their tall
center Hecht, who scored ten points
and played excellent defensive ball
to keep the Engineers in the game.
Hansen's seven points were enough
to garner scoring honors for State,
leaving twenty-six points which
were distributed rather evenly
among the other five scorers
The Eagles finally gained the
lead in the closing minutes of play
as Comb's basket from mid-court
was duplicated by Young's clever
lay-up shot, This gave the Purple
and Gold a 30 lead which was
protected well enough despite one
final Engineer goal. as the players
the ball.
edit’ must be given to Coach
Hatfield who anticipated the need
for conditioning and scheduled
practices at Siena The effect of
these drills was obvious at the end
of the game as State's starters fin-
ished strong,

STATESMEN DROP PAIR
TO CLARKSON, Y.M.C.A.
When the nets had finally cooled
off last night, the score showed the
Statesmen behind Clarkson 63-39.
State enjoyed their only lead of
the evening when Bolo Marsland
tapped in a pair of rebounds, The
visitors then put into action their
spot pass offense and were never
threatened leading at the half 25-12.
Big gun for the visitors was
Mavarro who dropped the 28 points
which proved the margin of victory.
Despite the sparkling play or Han-
sen, Bora and Mullin, the Statesmen
were unable to master enough
strength to dampen the fire.
In the preliminary game, the
jayvees, lacking any creditable
offense, came out on the short end
of a 54-35 score. Capel paced the
losers with a dozen points.
Cager Spotlight
Every basketball tee:n must have
its floor general, ad this year it
is indubitably Harry Bora, With
good reason does he hold this posi-
tion, for he has had many years
experience with a basketball; four
in Scotia High School, and three in
college.
As was the case with Hansen,
Harry's extracurricular activities
have been strictly athletic, He
was a member of MAA, and a par-
licipator in some intramural sports.
He is now a senior and a member
of the Air Corps Reserve. Of course,
this means that he will be called
soon after graduation, and for this
reason we extend him our deepest
sympathy. He will be leaving much
more behind him than other State
College men since he was married
last August. His wife is the former
Mary Colfels. Remember her, '44?
Incidentally, he is known in most
quarters by the somewhat melo-
dramatic nickname of “Handsome
Harry.”
Jayvees Lose Game
To Engineer Yearlings
The State junior varsity lost its
second straight game last Saturday
night, 35-27, to the RPI Frosh. Only
in the first half did the jayvees
even stay in the running; still they
were trailing 1-14 at the inter-
mission. During the second half
the Engineers took control of the
game and were never further
threatened.
At no point in the game did the
State team display the ability of
which it is capable. It had the
advantage of playing the Techmen
in their first game. The opponents,
however, had that one essential
which can make the difference be-
tween a winning team and a team
that hasn’t a chance against com-
petition, teamwork, In the JV team
this quality was sadly lacking.
For the Eaglets, “Big Ed” Reed
was high scorer with a total of eight
points made on tacular one-
handed shots. "son was high
for the victors with 14 points.
