Dear Folks-As Lon seems to feel quite
confident that Mr.. Robert Service will for
give him for tn followin' effort, I'm
gonna take a chanct an throw 1t on tn
screen for him:
Tn stove league bunch was whoopin' it
up in tn rear of Harry's saloon.
Tn geezer who yearly picks Washington
first was whistlin' his old-time tune.
Back of tn bar in a pinochle game, sat
tn stroke of tn midnight crew,
An watchin' his luck, as he melded his
kings, was dangerous George Nc
Blue.
When out of tn night, which was nasty
an raw, an into tn din an tn
glare,
There stumbled a knocker from gay Moo
York, be-jooled, an loaded for bear.
His shirt front looked like an African
mine. His scenery was costly an
loud,
An tossin' a roll OF "kale" on tn bar
he ordered up drinks for tn crowd.
None in tn house could place tn gink.
though We searched ourselves for a
clue,
But We drank his health, an tn last to
drink was dangerous George McBlue.
For a time dead silence filed tn room.
Not a member had dared to stir
AS we took in tn stranger from gay Moo
York, an his fashionable coat Of fur
Then on a sudden tn silence broke. an
tn stroke of tn crew chirped up.
An said from tn way he figured tn
thing It looked like Clark Grifith
would cop.
TIL opinion itself was innocent enough.
an should never have caused any
stew,
But It sure stuck pin in tn Moo York
er's goat, an he squinted at George
McBlue.
His eyes went rubberin around tn room,
an he seemed in a kind of daze,
AS he figured out quick tn size of tn
bunch that fell In his wanderin'
gaze.
Then he propped his back on tn end of
tn bar. an wiggled his cocky head.
An beloved out loud so all could hear,
"Why. 1 thought tn Old Fox was
deadT'
TIL remark was short but sounded raw,
an cut every man on tn crew,
And tn one it seemed to nettle tn most
was dangerous George McBlue.
For quick as a fash tn lights went out,
an two forms took a trip to tn
floor.
Harry let loose, an tn lights went up, an
tn key was thrust In tn door.
Pitched on his head, with his nose full
of red, was dangerous George Nc
Blue,
But you shoulda seen tn other guys face
when tn doctors had made him come
to.
Them are tn simple facts of tn case,
an I reckon / oughta know.
They say that TIL stranger had been nip
PIN too much, an l amt denyin'
it's so.
But take 1t from me, when roamin' about
don't lambast tn pet of tn crew,
Especially II there be one in tn bunch
like dangerous George McBlue.
DOPEY DAN.
Note-Lon says fine feathers mightnt
make fine birds, but they're about 30
per cent of tn argument II a guys gotta
manipulate a touch.

EASTERN LOSES TO
WESTERN BASKETERS
Capital Hill Quint Is Defeated in
Hard-fought Game.

In one of the hardest fought games in
the series, Western just managed to nose
out its rival, Eastern. in the last few
minutes of play. 1s to 10, at the Y. NJ. C.
A. gymnasium.
Both teams seemed to be well balanced
and well matched. but the boys from
Capitol Hill were greatly weakened by
the absence of their little forward,
Thomas, who was unable to get into the
fray.
The scrappy little school team from
southeast played its opponents in great
style during the first three-quarters of
She game, but their inability to make
easy shots paved the way for the West
erns' victory.
The goal shooting of the boys from
across the creek was far superior to their
rivals, although this duint also missed
many easy shots from the floor
The guarding by both teams was good.
which accounts for the low score. while
passing by both teams was the best
seen SO far in the series.
Both teams played its opponent to a
standstill the quarter ending three all.
Eastern managed TO lead the first half
by the margin of one point, Z to 6. while
at the end of the third quarter Western
took the lead, u to 10.
The Western basketers started the third
quarter with a rush and through the
good work of D. Heron managed to cage
two baskets. which were enough to bring
about victory. =
Baldwin and Powers, who made their
first appearance of the SERIES played the
lest defense for the losers.

WORST IS
ENDORSED
BY ALUMNI
Spirite Gathering of A. G..
Graduates Was Held
Yesterday

At one of the most interesting and
spirited meetings ever held about 40
members of the North Dakota Alumni
association gathered at the Little
Country theater yesterday and unani-
mously adopted the following resolu-
tionss - VI
THE alumni of the North Dakota
Agricultural college in appreciation of
the splendid administration with
which President E. F. Laid has thus
far favored the college, extend to
him their hearty support and conf
dence. Under his able leadership they
feel certain that the comprehensive
college should stand in this state will
be fearlessly promoted and energeti-
cally executed.
1--WE, the alumni of the North Da-
kota Agricultural college, hereby put
ourselves on record as heartily en-
dorsing the movement started by the
press Of the state to have the legis-
lature elect former President Worst,
as president emeritus of the North
Dakota Agricultural college"
Other matters Of business that the
alumni association put themselves on
record as favoring, were the develop
ment Of a wider spirit of athletics in
the student body, particularly look
ing forward to the fostering of win
Ter Sports SuCn as ShdLiuS, SkllHS, ETC.
The construction of more tennis
courts for the students as early as
possible was urged. Inter-class games
Of all kinds came in for their share
of consideration.
Levi Thomas, who has been secre-
tary-treasurer for several years, has
resigned and Roy Dynes, IA, was
chosen as his successor by the execu-
tive committee during the fall term.
This action was sanctioned by the
meeting. The alumni Issue Of The
Spectrum will be published during the
month of March, and A. M. Christ
ensen, president of the association,
has appointed Walter Baumgartel to
act as editor. An eight page edition
will be put out and from all accounts
1t will be live issue.
The association feeling that it is
becoming a good sized body and
can exert considerable influence, has
plans under way for holding meetings
three or four times during the year
instead of once as has been the prac-
tice in past, which will permit it
to dispose OF matters that may come
up more promptly.
