Court Schedule Tough
It will be but a mere two weeks
before the varsity basketball squad
will trot out onto the Clarkson court
to inaugurate the 1942-43 basketball
campaign. This year's schedule
promises to be as difficult as any
previous one encountered by State
College quintets.
‘As has been the custom in pre-
vious years, the team will open the
season away, Clarkson Tech playing
the host at Potsdam on December 4.
The Eagles will meet St. Lawrence
on the following afternoon and re-
turn to play RPI and Clarkson be-
fore the Christmas vacation. Thus
the basketball squad will play one-
third of its twelve-game schedule in
two weeks.
Besides the “Larries” and the
“Techmen” the Eagles will meet
such formidable foes as Niagara,
Brooklyn Poly, and Pratt, all of
whom boast teams of better calibre
than the Statesmen. RPI and Union
also expect strong squads for the
coming campaign. The strength of
Middlebury and St. Michael's, the
two remaining State foes, is un-
Known to us as yet, but you can well
expect that they will not be push-
overs.
Candidates Few
Colleges with a small number
of male students find it difficult to
compete in intercollegiate circles.
To this, State is no exception, Al-
most all of its opponents have many
times the number of men in this
college. Moreover, State attracts
few, if any, of the student who
played varsity basketball in their
High School career.
This year will be a unique one, as
far as basketball is concerned as it
will probably be the first time that
Coach G, Eliot Hatfield will not be
forced to cut his basketball squad.
Approximately thirty men answered
Hatfield’s basketball call a few
weeks ago. The Coach planned on
keeping twenty for the varsity and
jayvees, combined. However, sev-
eral candidates have abandoned the
idea of practice, thus decreasing the
number of aspirants to about twenty
Therefore, there will probably be no
cut this year.
The situation is serious, however.
The response for basketball was very
poor, especially so among the frosh~
men and Sophomores, The bulk of
the basketeers is comprised of Ju-
niors and Seniors,
Upperclassmen On JV
Juniors and Seniors are desirable
on the varsity but their presence on
the Junior Varsity is far from a
ceptable. The purpose of the Jayvee
group, as far as we can see, is to
develop players which may be of
use to the ity in future years.
Seniors therefor of no import-
tant value in playing on the Jayvee.
It would be much better if they
were replaced by frosh or Sophs
even though these are less experi-
enced. However, as the sit
stands this y the upp¢
men cannot be replaced as the
not enough freshmen or Sophomores
trying out for Jayvee posts. Only
three of last year’s yearlings are still
practicing, while the frosh b«
mere five aspirants, compare
least twelve in previous years.
McLaren On I-M Council
Intramural Council has recently
had a change in membership, Gene
McLaren, ‘45, replaced Bert Kiley,
"44, as representative of the Ramb-
lers. This change was duc to the
fact that Kiley this year is going
to play ball with Potter rather than
the Ramblers, making him ineligible
to represent the latter team.
I-M Council Plans
Basketball Season
To Open Dec. 1
Games to be Played
Each Tuesday, Thursday
Intramural Council is at present
making plans for the fall opening of
basketball. Bill Marsland and Ed
Reed are in charge of arrangements
and hope to have the first games
played by December first at the
latest.
According to present plans the
games will be played on Tuesday
and Thursday nights on the Page
Hall court. Two games will be
played each night; the first begin-
ning at seven and the second get-
ting under way at eight,
The league will probably be
stronger in manpower this year due
to the emphasis put on sports in the
new athletic training and a deep
feeling of rivalry already being set
into motion by several groups.
However, a strong loss will be felt
if the College House cagers, who
have won the trophy for the past
three years, fail to enter a squad,
The number of teams is not known
definitely as yet, but at least eight,
and possibly ten, will appear. Each
“frat” is expected to display its
talent with individual teams as in
the past. The men’s Dorm will have
one team at least, and plans are
being made for a second if sufficient
players respond to the call. A new
group will form an independent
team, tentatively known as the
“GDIB's", according to present plans,
The Finks and the Ramblers’ will
round out the quota, with College
House making it ten if they enter.
Captains of each of these groups
are urged to turn in their lists of
players as soon as possible to Mars-
land or Reed so that the schedule
of games may be arranged, Men
who would like to referee the games
are asked also to contact the above
two in the near future.
To those players who wish to get
in some pre-season practice, the
gym will be open tomorrow after-
noon from one to five, A large num-
ber of men are expected to take
advantage of this chance.
MAA |Probes
Player Insurance
MAA council is now investigating
the possibilities of providing ins
ance for varsity and intramural
athletes. The council is determined
to make some provision whereby
medical funds will be available,
should anyone be injured while par-
ticipating in any sport supervised by
MAA
This investigation has been begun
because of the recent hospital cases
incurred in in nural football
games. Serious injuries of this type
had never before occurred, and no
one knew just exactly how to meet
the circumstances.
As explained in assembly last
week by MAA, the president, Owen
Bombard has set up in its ‘annual
budget a fund to cover injuries to
layers of varsity sports, the main
being of course, basketball,
fund at the beginning of the
year amounted to $300, but it has
been cut in half by the payment of
$150 toward the expenses of the
above mentioned cuse. MAA has

possibility of insurancing athletes.
This insurance would include intra
mural as well as varsity players
As yet, no definite decision has
been made, but MAA promises that
every possible means will be
thoroughly investigated and what
appears to be the most favorable will
be adopted.

Thanksgiving vacation will end
WAA’s fall program and usher in
the winter sports. Among these are
ping-pong and bowling. We would
like to see WAA inaugurate an
Inter-house Ping-pong tourney as
well as continue last year’s success-
ful Inter-house Bowling League.
We would suggest that the Ping-
pong. tourney be conducted in. this
way. Let each house hold a: pre-
liminary tourney to pick a house
champion, Then, these girls would
compete and the trophy would be
presented to the victor’s house.
At this point, we would like to
say a word to the directors of WAA.
The manner of conducting tourneys
could be improved. The tennis
Gerber Wastes No Time
With Bevy of Pretty Nurses
After kissing some ten or
eleven of his nurses goodbye,
Moose Gerber left the Albany
Hospital on Tuesday afternoon.
Along with the smear of lip~
stick, Moose could be seen sport~
ing a corset made of plaster of
paris (due to the shortage of
rubber), Moose was persuaded
to leave only after the hospital
authorities consented to let a
pretty nurse escort him home
in a doctor’s car.
Just before leaving, Moose bid
goodbye to Terry Smith, who
has been his roommate for the
past few weeks. Terry, who is
recuperating from a knee opera~
tion, will be released sometime
next week.
Basketball Squad
Dwindling Rapidly
AsHopefulsDrop
With three weeks cf fundamental
drills and light scrimmages already
past, Coach Hatfield has his rapidly
dwindling basketball squad practic~
ing diligently for the December 4
opener at Canton. Only about seven
more practice sessions remain before
the annual northern trip which
heads a tough schedule,
Of the thirty odd candidates who
answered Hatfield’s first call, only
twenty-two remain, permitting a
maximum cut of two men if both
arsity and junior varsity schedules
are maintained, However, there is
enough material at least for a fairly
rong varsity team headed by Han-
Bora, Marsland, and Combs
who have’ all played’ regularly for
State at one time or another. Be-
sides these lettermen there are Mil-
ler, Rubach, Lynch, Young, Flax,
and Mullin, with the possible addi-
tion of Braun.
Because of the small number of
aspirants the strength of the junior
varsity is going to depend greatly
on the strength of the varsity. The
greater number of experienced men
on the varsity, the fewer there will
be on the J. V's. However, as it
stands, Kullman and Hippick, two of
last year's frosh, and Reed, Wise,
Capel, and Ashworth, intramural
performers last year, will be left to
add experience to the spirit and
ability of the frosh, Riccardo, Ryan,
Powell, Bortnick, und Woods
The “fast break" and shallow and
deep figure eight systems are being
stressed to provide a varying offense
for the Eagles players.

Congenial Atmosphere at Sayles
Impresses Commissioner Stoddard
By J, Michael Hippick
Dr. George D. Stoddard, Commis
sioner of Education in the State of
New York, i: human, extremely
amiable man, yet one of dynamic
action. At a banquet held in his
honor at Sayles Hall Tuesday, the
impression which he gave to over
150 educators of the state was one
of a man who knew his field
thoroughly and would not hesitate
to act as he saw fit in any matter
Considerably impressed by Sayles
and Pierce Halls, the Commissioner
said that thi

The social aspect
of the place was
one of great im-

His comment was,
“The — dormitory
provides much
more than artis-
tic accommoda-
tions.”
As a member
of the Commit
of the Asso
of American

years ago, Dr
Stoddard “at that
time along with
his associates

When asked about the feasibility
of a Student Union in the Farrell
Mansion. he had the greitest respect
for one, “AL some other colleges
the male alumni like to invade the
campus of their forner alma mater
and recall old experiences, and thus
take more interest in the existing
circumstances, Although State is
somewhat handicapped in this re-
spect a student union, nevertheless,

backing for such a venture could be

Dr George D. Stoddard
Speaking about education in rela-
tion to present war conditions, Dr.
Stoddard said, “The present five-
year plan should definitely remain.
However, we are at present working
toward an accelerated program,
which would reduce the time to
four years. This could be accom-
plished only through the use of
summer sessions, It would be a

In their stead should he a large

Tough Weekend for Eagles
Coach Elliott Hatfield will lead
his basketball charges into the
season’s opener tonight at Potsdam.
The varsity squad will face a tough
assignment this weekend as it
journeys to Northern New York to
tackle two formidable opponents,
Clarkson Tech and St, Lawrence on
succesive days.
‘The boys are in top shape physi-
cally and expect to put up good
battles with the more experienced
and highly talented northerners.
State will enter both contests
the underdog; however, this is no
indication that the Purple and Gold
aggregation will come out at the
short end of the score.
Whatever the Eagles lack in play-
ing ability is compensated by high
competitive rit and. fight indi-
cated in ions and in
scrimmages with Siena. The vars-
ity members have been playing to-
gether as a team more than any
other y This team play is an
indication that this winter State
students will witness some hard
fought contests on the Page court
‘Team May Win
It is because of this spirited
attitude of the team that we think
the basketball squad will win more
contests this year than State stu-
dents have seen won in past cam-
paigns.
The Eagles will

Captain-elect Corporal — Thomas
Feeney, who was drafted during the
summer vacation, is now stationed
at Fort Monmouth, N. J, It was a
very sportsmanlike act on the part
of the varsity members and MAA,
and at the same time an honor
for Corporal Feeney, to let him re-
main as the captain for the 1942-43
basketball campaign. The squad will
now have a game captain for each
contest, He will be appointed by
the coach previous to the game,
Here and There
We see that in the only cut of the
basketbal! squad made this year one
of last year’s better yearlings was
eliminated. Not that we want to
ions, but it seems to
that were others on the
squad more worthy of cut, namely a
junior or a senior.
Now that there are only two nights
per week devoted to” intramural
contests, we are looking for an carly
opening of the bowling league.

Eagles Meet Larries
At Canton Tomorrow
Afternoon In Followup
The State College Eagles will open
the 1942-43 basketball season tonight
at Potsdam where they will oppose
Clarkson Tech. Last year Tech had
one of the best teams ever to repre-
sent their school, a team which won
a great majority of its games. The
Techmen defeated State twice last
year, Although advance notice has
been lacking, it is reported that this
year’s team will be a strong one.
After tonight's game with Clark-
son, State's courtmen will entrain to
Canton where they will meet St
Lawrence in an afternoon tilt. The
s, who defeated State last
year in Canton, were later the
cipients of a stunning 49-46 upset
as “Bye” Benton pulled a Frank
Merriwell for State. Reports have
it that they too have a comparatively
strong team this yea
Serimmage with Siena
Coach Hatfield took his char
Siena again for a preparatory scrim-
ge on Wednesday. Although the
vores of these Siena
were not too encourag-
value in providing pra
tice on a large court against first
opposition may prove valuable.
Serimmages on the Siena court have
shown that our reserves are no-
ticably weak, and that the spirit and
stamina of the starting five will be
a major factor in the coming season.
In both practice scrimmages the
Statesmen were able to hold their
own until the starters, tired by the
three varsities of Siena, were forced
to give way to the reserves. The
reserves, however, should improve
considerably throughout the year
since it is not talent but experience
that they lack
‘Ten Make Trip
‘As the squad stands at present,
Coach Hatfield, Manager Gene Me-
Laren and the following ten will
make the Northern trip. Bora,
Combs, Flax, Hansen, Kullman,
Lynch, Mullin, Marsland, Rubach,
and Young, These ten will compose
the varsity until jayvee talent merits
var-positions which will be very
possible after a few games to expe
ence the Eaglets
In all probability, the starting
line-up will include Combs
Hansen at forwards, Young at ¢
ter, and Bora and Marsland at the
#uard positions. However, due to
the size of the courts and reserves
of their opponents, State's reserves
will probably see plenty of action on
this trip.
- To Clarkson for Opener
KDR, Ramblers
Win |-M Contest
Competition Runs High
As Campaign Opens
The intramural basketball cam-
paign got under way in Page Hall
gym on time last Tuesday with KDR
and the Ramblers gaining victories
in games featuring hard play and
scmewhat loose hall-handling.
In the first game of the season
KDR and KB battled it out in a
hard fought game with the lead
changing hands several times. With
but a few points separating both
teams at all times, the Lake Street
team managed to go ahead in the
final minutes of play and to win by
a 15-14 count. With privett feeding
the ball down the alley and Leonard
and Bombard dropping them in from
underneath, the KDR aggregation
played fast ball and finally out
matched Flax, Rabineau and th
fellow cagers.
the Dorm and Rambler teams met
in the second game with the latter
coming out on the long end of a
15-6 score. Both teams played a
fast game with the ball often being
handled loosely in the excitement
After the Dorm had made good a
foul shot and a field goal in the
early minutes, the Ramblers came
back with five points and maintained
this lead till the half. Still out in
front 6-3 at the end of the third
quarter, the winning quintet put on
a final burst in the final stanza lo
cinch the victory. MeLaren, and
Kircher were the big guns of the
winners, while Sullivan, Merritt and
Gillen added much to the loser's
cause.

Blisters Reward Big Feats;
Honorary Society Formed
After the ball (game) was
over, the intramural basketball
players limped a handicapped
race to the showers.
Few participants could boast
the absence of blisters from
their first strenuous workout on
the gym floor, but who wanted
to boast of their absence any-
way? There seemed to be more
glory in boasting their presence,
for several were seen exhibiting
their largest and placing small
wagers on them,
Both victors and vanquished
alike have suffered from their
exploits, for as it has been ex-
by some, “Even vic-
have turned to de-
(feets).”
It is alleged that a new so-
ciety is being formed about
school in honor of those who
received such injuries and
order to include girls as well
as boys who play basketball, it
is to be called the Blisters of
1-M Basketball.
Gym To Be Open Tomorrow
The Page Hall gym will be open
tomorrow at 3 PM. for anyone who
wishes to practice basketball. This
procedure will be followed through-
aut the baskethall season, provid
that it is not being used for other
purposes. However, before the gym
can be opened on Saturdays some-
one must si for it in the Dean of

‘In These Our Times’
Eprror's Note: The following comprises the ideas of one faculty member

of Social Studies, presented most of the ideas in lectures to his classes, We
deem these ideas important enough to be read and discussed by the entire
student body.
This hay been a difficult semester for all of us. The normal
college program has been disrupted by war. “The war is to be
