‘40-'41 in the Books
Not since Steve Brodie sailed over
the railing of Brooklyn Bridge, has
Brooklyn been tendered an honor
as great as that which the State
cagers bestowed upon the town last
weekend. Coach Hatfield's crew
selected fair Flatbush as the scene
for the windup of the most disas-
trous basketball season in years,
With the defeat at the hands of
Pratt, the team record for the year
stands at eleven defeats to two vic-
tories. Clarkson and St. Michael's
were the only outfits to fall to the
Purple and Gold assaults.
Seniors Swamp Frosh;
Mysks Schedule ’44
Spurred on by the enthusiastic
cheering section led by Dower,
Walrath and Grattan, the Class
of ‘41 Red Raiders swept to an
overwhelming victory over the
hapless Yellow Devils of the
Class of '44 Wednesday night.
The freshmen have thus kept
their season's record clean of wins.
The seniors, led by Oksala’s
high scoring of 8 points, amassed
a total of 32 tallies to the meager
15 points which the yearlings
finally scored. Chubby Quinn
was the most outstanding man
on the floor.
An outcome of this sensational
Senior victory was the challeng-
ing of the Freshman’s women's
team, not by the Senior women,
but by the Myskania men's team.
The Myskania Muscovites will be
coached by Beers, Miller, and
Dower in the necessary funda-
mentals of the women’s rules
which will be used.
Incidentally, we understand that
a certain quartet of team members

Stadium. At any rate, they hopped
an uptown subway and pulled into
the Pratt gym scant seconds before
the opening whistle. The rush in
the tube is bewildering, isn’t it
appropriate.
paign, State’s opponents garnered
645 points, while the locals man-
aged to chalk up 510. A bit of
figure juggling reveals that State
scored an average of 39.2 points per
game to the opponents’ 49.6. Com-
parison with last year’s record shows
that the present team tallied seven
points more than its predecessor,
The opposition in 1939-'40, however,
sank 102 less counters than did the
current crop of State enemies,

Swing of the Pendulum —
Tomorrow night, the male members of State
College’s senior honorary campus leadership society,
Myskania, will remove their somber black robes and
don in their stead, bright colored female bloomers, |
black jerseys, and mortar boards. Having effected |
this change, the Myskania Muscovites will trek out |
to Page Hall gymnasium where they will meet the
freshmen women in a basketball game “to be played
according to girls’ rules of 1921 as remembered by
D. V. Smith.”
Once again this year, Myskania has “let down its

The Myskania of this year, through its actions, |
has regained some of the popularity lost for various
reasons in past years. From the time it joined the
snake dance in an effort to “Beat RPI,” Myskania
has democracized itself in the eyes of the student
and has tended to move away from the “Great
ition,”
organization, they have created a question in the
minds of members of Student Association, In their
capacity as the judicial body of Student Associa-

other duties?
Their Cries Have Been Answered
The Class of 1943, although forced into it, has
put into effect a long discussed idea about State
College formal dances. It has made three noteworthy
innovations in State’s Sophomore Soiree.
1. It has lowered the bid to the dance from the
traditional $3,50 to $2.20,
2. It has engaged two bands instead of one.
3. It has thrown aside the “try to get a name |
band for the name's sake” idea. |
When before has the announcement of Soiree
music met with sincere applause in Student |
Assembly? When before has the President of Stu-
dent Association been at pains to commend a class
for its choice of music for its formal dance?
The Sophomore class has taken the init
first large scale venture and its social reputation
is in the making; but more than that, the age-old
campus cry for “lesser bands and bids that we can
afford” has been answered.
Over and above all this, is the respons

The Critic —
by Anne Rattray and Robert Hertel
Of old those met rewards who could excel
And such were praised who but endeavored well.
— Pope, "An Essay on Criticism"
The banquet is over and all the Advanced Dramatics
students are awaiting the unveiling of the little gleam-
ing Oscars and the glittering generalities in appraisal
of the past season. Before the Oscars are dumped into
the laps of the appreciative (?) actors and directors,
there are several comments on the year’s productions
which bear consideration.
We have been plugging for experimentation all
year, and are pleased {o note that the class has side-
stepped the usual run of comedies, fantasies, and tra- |
gedies, with some worthy accomplishments.
‘The technical side of the plays has shown no steady, |
sustained improvement in the use of our stage’s few
facilities. One week the sets and lights were excellently |
handled; the next week they were inartis- |
tie, poorly co-ordinated, and carelessly |
organized,
The bulk of the acting experience was |
gained by the freshmen who have pro- |
vided our stage with a great variety of ability, and,
in our opinion, bids fair to constitute one of the best
Advanced Dramatics classes of the future. It is only to
be regretted that this cannot be said of the present
class who have shown ability in directing, but have
neglected the opportunities to act.
The publicity has been well-organized and artistic,
and deserves commendation.
And now for those highly-sought,
“Oscars:”
For the outstanding production of the season, the |
prize must be shared equally by Miss McIsaac for her
inspiring production of the third act of Blizabeth and
Es and by Mi Trumbull for her version of |
Macbeth. Mr. Fulvio's Winterset ran a close second. |
For the production nearest to achieving technical
perfection, both Miss Real's Death Sends for the
Doctor and Mr, Vassilliw's A Night at an Inn deserve |
our award.
For the outstanding actor of the year, judged by his |
growth and maturity over the course of the season,
we nominate Vincent Miller. His crazed submarine
aide, his old man Death, and his Mio have allowed
him to display an expanding versatility,
It was extremely difficult to pick one outstanding
actress as no one person has enacted enough roles to
merit a single choice, In order of bril-
Nance for individual roles, we would
award an “Oscar” to: Julia Tunnell for
her commanding Elizabeth; Kay Wilson |

Budget et Assembly
The Student Associa! Associaticn will be
forced to decide on either a vertical
or horizontal cut of next year's
budget, at next Friday's assembly, in
the opinion of James Portley, ‘43,
member of Finance Board.
A vertical cut would affect each
organization equally, decreasing the
appropriation proportionally, ‘The
horizontal cut would deal with each
activity separately, with the
bility of elimination of some
cuts in others.
Portley explained that with only
900 paid members of Student Asso-
ciation expected next year, the only |
other alternative would be to raise |
the per-ca x. He predicted the
student body would prefer the cut

Concentration Big Factor
In Basketball—Clair Bee
by Carl T, Marotto
LIU Coach Clair Bee, guest speaker at last night’s MAA awards
banquet, was overwhelmingly acclaimed for his versatility evidenced
in the form of witty remarks and humorous recollections.
“Concentration is the most impor-?.
tant thing in basketball,” said Bee,
“A coach doesn’t want a ‘jersey play-
er’—one who throws the ball any-
where just to get rid of it.
“Spirit and perseverance are also
important considerations, In the
final analysis, it’s the spirit that
counts and lifts a team to greatness.”
“Play to Win"
In a personal interview with a
News representative, when asked
for some of the factors which helped
his team attain its high ranking posi-
tion, he answered, “We don’t got out
and play basketball just for the exer-
cise; we play to win! After all, if
you don’t play to win, why keep
score? The idea is to keep all the
players in the capacity of dangerous
threats, so that if one man is stopped, |
another can break through and score.
“We simply want to be able to cope
with the other team’s defense or
offense. Our object is to keep up a
normal offense that will give us about
45 points, and hold the enemy below
40 points. At our best, we like to get |
from 60 to 80 points, and keep the
other team below this mark so that
they will have to hurry their shots.”
Coach Bee felt that scholarship
was an important consideration in
building up a boy’s character, He
went on to say that he believed “that
every American boy should have the
privilege of going to a small college.”

State's first line of defense, the
plucky chess team, will be put to
another test of its thus far Hercu-
lean strength when the brain boys
tangle pawns et al with Cooper Un-
jon on the local squares this week-
end. State brains will be humming
this match since Cooper Union put
the clamps on Shaw's lads at their
last meeting during the intercolle-
giate tournament a few months back
in New York City.
Since the organization of the
chess squad two years ago, the
group has won the reputation of be-
ing the most successful athletic (?)
outfit on the campus. Including the
defeat suffered at the hands of
CCNY last week, the pawnpushers’
record to date stands at eleven
wins and four losses—and that re-
cord has been established in compe.

ranking colleges, So nice to have a|
team to keep up our reputation in

Mr. John A, Murray, who teaches
in Room 128 Milne, will be the oth-
er forward. His shooting eye entitled
him to the title of “terror of the

freshman. If he retains but one iota
of his natural talent he can be
counted on for 70 or 80 points,
Musclehead McCreary of the Mon-

Snooty-pants Smith can be count-

he has played with the R—hlers
