THE COACH IS THE BOSS,
So much comment is being made among the students regard-
ing the unfortunate incident that recently happened in con
nection with the basketball team, and so many seem misinformed,
that we think it advisable to speak a true and impartial opinion
upon the matter. In doing so we naturally regret that it was at
all possible for such a thing to happen and especially at this
stage of the game, when co-operation and good will are. most
essential for a successful ti We are disappointed and some

they will continue to support the team with the same enthusiasm

‘The following, quoted from the local “Times-Union,” explains
itself:

Fstimates of the school expenses for next year have been cut
