COLLEGE VS.. NORMAL

The College girls basketball team
played the Normal girls in one Of the
fastest and most interesting games of
girls basketball that has been wit
messed for sometime. The game
started off with bang when the Nor.
NAL center tipped off to her side and
a few short passes meant Normal had
made the first goal. However, our
"old, strong and reliable" Bobbie was
on her opponent from then on, and
Normal seemed out of luck when the
ball came her way. The College for
wards couldn't find the center of the
rim for sometime, but when they did,
it was goodbye ball every time it
started for the basket. The pass
work between the centers and their
respective forwards was specially
good. Speed was evident in the pass
ing as well as good head-work. The
forwards of both teams showed ex.
ceptional ability in shooting both
close and long shots.
Not too much praise may be given
to any one Of them-in fact, they
were all 10 be commended. Oh, yes,
the score was SO to 81 with College

BEREA BRINGS HOME THE
BACON

ichn Welsh, the representative Of
Berea College in the Intercollegiate
Oratorical Contest held at Danville
Saturday evening, March 4th, took
first place and will represent the
state of Kentucky in the intcr.region-
al contest TO be held at later date.
Mr.. Welsh's subject was, The New
Conscience. Mr.. Leonard Fielder,
representing the University of Ken
lucky, took second place. His sub
icct was. THE Debt to the Dead"
Mr.. Fielder is a former student Of
Bcrea College, having had four years
of Academy and two years of College
work in Berea.
The third place was granted TO No
Ian Carter, representing Georgetown
College He spoke on the subject,
There is the East" The program
was one Of unusual interest and was
spiccd up by some very beautiful
vocal solos by Miss Helen Todd, and
Mr.. Seth White, student of Berea
College. Before the judges rendered
their decision it was a question which
would receive the decision, Mr.. Field
err or Mr.. Welsh. Their orations
were logically arranged and both
subjects were very attractive and
their manner of delivery was pleasing
and forceful. Mr. Carter made
smooth speech, but to any student of
oratory it was evident that Mr.. Car
ter is more Of an elocutionist than an
orator. While his delivery was pleas
ing, it was not forceful and his sub
ject was out of harmony with the
craving tendency of modern thought
This is no reflection upon Mr.. Carter,
nor upon any of those who might
have thought that he deserved a
higher place in the decision Of the
judges. AS an elocutionist, Mr.. Car
ter is exceptionally good, but to stu.
dents Of oratory MIR. Carter showed
lack of oratorical qualities.
The other speakers were as follows:
Cyrus Collins Of Centre College spoke
on "The Passing of War" Allen
Huber of Pennsylvania spoke on "Our
Democracy" and Richard Cummings,
representing Kentucky Wesleyan,
spoke on the subject, peace" The
judges were Will F. Bradbury, Mayor
Hustin Quin and George T. Ragsdale,
all of Louisville.
After the contest was over the !
visitors and others were invited to
the Christian Church, where the Dan
vile ladies had prepared refresh
ments. The Danville people and stu
dents of Centre College have a well
deserved reputation of being hospi-
table people, and there are many stu
dents from various colleges over the I
state who have been joyful recipients
of their hospitality.
