SYRACUSE. Dec. 11.-when tho members Of
the girls basketball teams at the Syracuse Uni
versity decided to exclude mon from their pub
lie games they forgot that It was a rule that
might work both ways. On Thursday night tho
first public game was played in the college gym
nasium between the girls freshmen and soph-
omoro teams. and 1t was q lively contest, In
which the freshmen won by the score OF 8 to 2.
Tho galleries were filled with women spectators,
In the institution.
The male students, who had anxiously looked
forward 70 seeing tho contests, arc very indig-
nnnt and, say that IL 10 as fair one way as the
other, and hereafter they do not propose to ad-
init the goods to their various athletic contests.
Inc question Of admitting the men to the cham
pionship games was rather hotlv discussed at n
meeting OF the basketball girls. previous TO the
game. A vote was takon, and nearly all were
In favor of letting the mon In, but two girls OBJ
tected and the men were excluded. Tho other
girls think the DIRECTORS have, an excess OF mod
esty. and one said: II think There 10 moro harm
done by the secrecy that surrounds the matches,
and that people will think there 10 really some.
thing improper for young women In the game"
As there 10 to be q series of intercollegiate
games with Cornell, Wellesley. Wells College,
and Cortland Normal School, the question OF
male exclusion receives considerable impor-
lance.

Men are but boys of older growth,

W. ~
Women are girls forever;
The tie that binds us to our youth
Not all of life can sever.
We all recall those Christmas times
When we believed that fable
About dear Santa and the deer
He drives DER cave and gable;
How, bright and early Christmas morn,
We hurried to our stocking,
And how the gifts brought shouts Of Joy,
The family to US flocking.
How father smiled at mother when
He looked at the snow outside
And said: "Just see the deer tracks there
Where old Santa Claus did ride"
And don't we all remember well
Our visit to HAHNE g. CO.,
The fairy scenes enacted there
In the flush Of Christmas glowf
Just like ourselves their store has grown,
But far outstrips our vigor,
And, as the years go ambllng by,
Gets bigger and still bigger.
'Tis there we find the greatest choica
OF. presents for young and old,
And all the goods you see displayed
At the lowest prices sold.
So let us make the children glad,
And throw open wide the door,

which it today presents to patrons
viii be its best apoligy for it's fail
ure TO appear as usual on Satur-
day, it's regular day Of publication.
The intention originally was to
issue atwelye page paper, but
about the middle Of the week the
public appeared toawaken sudden
ly to the importance of the I'M
dertaling, and all who had not
already sent in advertisements
of their business or requested no
tices, with one accord began to
clamor for admission, and over
whelmed both the editorial and me-
chanical offices with such a flood of
work that the paper had to be en-
larged and all idea Of a Saturday
publication abandoned. Even
then it has been found impossible
to comply with all demands, and
much work has been reluctantly
refused.
The managers hoped that the
holiday edition would be presented
to its readers in a dress Of newtype,
a very large and complete invoice
of which has Just been received;
but owing to some delay in trans
portation the type did not reach
the Office until Friday, when all e&-
cept the outside page had been
printed
Tho magnitude Of the work viii
readily be appreciated. The prep
aration Of the paper represents un-
remitting labor day aud night, and
in this connection it is simple JUS
tice to give credit to the faithful
and untiring work Of the nechan-
ical force, who gave eheerfully
Iabored night after night until
midnight and after to make the
paper what it is. Mr.. w. W. I'll
