1T worked in perfeets harmony,
IT was the desire: afs everyone 20

that lie before the party at tfis
time. ss
1--WE have almost completed this

Of the platform, and | think YOU

- Now, my friends, | am very
tired. | have since Tuesday even
ing to the present time had not more
taan six hours of sleep.
Vfs'W We have had an unusually large
number of troublesome problems and
have dealt with all the questions
save two in such manner as has won
the unanimous support of all mem,
hers of the committee.
g When we bring the platform
before you it will be a majority re

these two instances: there was Il

differences of opinion arose over
this question:. The subcommittee
struggled over the problems for
hours. 1t was unable to agree un-
animously. Last night thc full
committee went into session healing
with this plank, having to- do with
the subject of religious freedom.
Our discussion continued through
ont the night and regret to say
that as the time went on the dis

think of its future.
Z, 1--WE began to think Of its glori-
ous history and all sthat hiisnt be
Involved in this contest. And then
we drew closer together-friends
about the council table-to see II
we could not get together on this.

HIGH SCHOOL VETS
 WIN IN OVERTIME
Alumni Quintet Defeats Regulars
 by Score Of 20 to 19

After being outplayed and out scored until the last part of the game with the N. Is. Ii. S., the H. s. Alumni team yesterday made a final spurt, tied the score the regulation period. and won the overtime period | by close score 20 to IS. Both teams | played a. defensive game which ac- 1 counted For the low score. The game was played before a large crowd al; the school gymnasium.
 If the school team had shown as much form in tho second half as they did in the opening stanza, the re- suit would have been far different. From the opening gong they played a hard game. It was several minutes before the ice was broken. A per sonal was called on one of the alumni men, and Neipp dropped in both shots. The Red and Gold team at this stage of the game were playing rings around their rivals. Time and ;iAiun they bombarded the alumni goal, but only one of them was sue cessful in locating the hoop. Neipp again distinguished himself by getting
 
 the first quarters was High School 1, Alumni B..
 The brand of ball in the second half was superior to that played of the first. The best the older team could do was to get three points, a field goal by Reynolds and foul by McCabe. The high school team ran the score up to II before the half ended.
 The third quarter began with spurt by the alumni. In this quar- ter they outpfayed the Red and Gold but the latter team kept fighting ana the half ended with the score 1o all.
 The last quarter was the most ex- citing of all. The alumni team, which was really the championship team of last year hit the stride which gained them great success when they. were on the school team. They passed, dribbled and shot like their former selves. In the meantime, however, the Red and Gold team was not be- hind the bush. They also played well. but experience was starting to tell on them. With less than d min ute to go, "Bennie" LaIIar tied the score with pretty field goal and the regulation period ended with the score r all.
 The overtime period was full of thrills. Each team fought hard, and in this excitement one Of the alumni men was detected by Referee Dick Dillon, and foul was called on him. German put in the much needed foul. and 1t looked like the winning point, but Harold Weir made things look different with pretty goal from the side Of the court. With the alumni ahead by ono point "Bennie" made his fourth personal foul, and was put
