school administrators Of the Nationa
Education association. Two other

cago, DR.. Butcher of Hays, Kansas
and VIM. Allen White of Topeka. Mr..
White will probably lecture in Flag
staff during the summer course.
Mr.. McMullen, although born in the
east, says he cannot get used to east
ern distances again as compared with
western, as, for instance, a trip from
Flagstaff to Phoenix in the east would
carry one through several states.
| Meetings of educators of this kind
are very beneficial he asserts both
as regards the meeting at large where
various subjects are discussed by emil
nent lecturers and also as regards the
various smaller groups which discuss
educational problems on the informal
basis. The two main topics which
were taken up in this meeting were
curriculum making and financing. Mr..
McMullen said the following Arizona
school men were there: Mr.. Loper of
Phoenix, Mr.. Hendrix, Mesa; Mr.
Rose, Tucson; DIR. Creager, u. of A.,
and Mr.. Reynolds and Bronner from
the southern part of the state.

Winslow and n A. N. S. clashed
last Saturday night in the final games
Of the season for the Lumberjacks
Both boys and girls had previously
been defeated by this fast aggregation
and were intent on vengeance. The

rhe game started in whirl of short
passes and tie-balls and scoring was
not frequent. The first half ended
With Normal ahead on a 11-9 count.
The second half was none the less
lard fought bit Normal soon had
wo basket advantage. Near the end
It the game Winslow staged a spec
acular comeback caging two baskets
n as many minutes. The game ended
lbout a minute later with WinslOw
me point ahead, final score being
9-2O.
The boys were not very optimistic
ver the outcome of the girls game
nd knew that they were handicapped

llness of Smith. Consequently they |
anne on the floor with an attack that ,
ook the Boilermakers off their feet,
yorking the ball down the court with
he greatest ease. Both teams had \
round ten points at the end of the s
irst half. During the intermission
tudents formed serpentine and
ang school songs which seemed to 4
ut added anxiety in the Normal
rowd. Normal gradually worked up
margin, however, and things seem r
d to be coming their way when Fill

eplaced by Hanley, who showed signs +
real basketball ability inasmuch as
