CRAIG, NAVY, GETS 20
POINTS ON COLUMBIA

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, December 10
Though the Navy won at basket ball
from Columbia here today, 40 to 10,
the scoring of all the Midshipmen but
Craig, its brilliant long-range shoot
ing forward, might have been elm
mated and still the locals would have
led by one point.
Craigs total Of 20 points was made
up of seven court goals, most of them
tossed from far away, and six sue
cesses out of seven tries from the foul
line. His goals In the first half were
all on long shots, some from the side
and generally high in the air to get
over the heads OF the Columbia play
ers. He counted twice In the second
half after receiving the oalI on long
passes.
Navy quickly ran into a Stool lead,
and they kept adding little by little
until the half, ended Is to 8.
Wilson, Columbia's captain, scored
the only field goal of the half for
the visitors just as time was called,
The Navy team let up little early
In the second half. and eight minutes
after it was started the score stood
20 to IS, a large proportion Of the
points being made from the foul line
Coach Deering of Columbia made
many changes in his team. but was
unable to get a scoring combination.
while the Navy scored more rapidly
than ever.
The New Workers. scored only three
goals from the court.

THE WRETCH

Some fellows can get away with anything. There's one in our neigh borhood who does it. Morals don't mean thing to him. He has no de- gard for truth or law. He never thinks of paying a bill. We saw him take a two dollar taxi ride without giving the driver pleasant look. And the driver only looked at him and nut tered something silly. He can't play cards. Or dance, or sing, or fool around with musical instruments. Or the radio. As a conversationalist, he's null and void. He neglects his ap- pearance terribly. He hasn't shaved. He'd let the house burn down before he'd turn in fire alarm. He lacks opinion. Even on the good old prohi- bition question nobody knows, actually where he stands. One minute he's dry. And the next minute he's wet. But, we will say this for him, he comes from darn good family, he's our new baby. l

Abandon Plan Remodel
 Noted Historic Square

PHILADELPHIA, August 2-Mrs Edward T. Stotesbury, society leader has abandoned her plan to have Inde- pendence Square and it's historic build ings remodeled after. Parisian archi- lecture models.
 Independence Square will be pre- served as it is. It is not to be re- modelled for the squiCentennial eel ebration planned here
 Mrs. Stotesbury, who recently sent Mayor Kendrick plans for the propos- ed establishment of Independence Square with colonnades and rotundas now has written the mayor, that she has become convinced thru the pro- tests of the patriotic societies that "any departure from the original plan of the old square would mar its his torical value"
 Mrs. Stotesbury's letter to the may or read:
 "The protests made by the patriotic societies through the newspapers fol- lowing the publication of plans for structural changes in Independence Square ,and particularly the eloquent appeals of Miss Anne Wharton, and Hampton L. Carson, have convinced me that any departure from the ori- ginal plan of the old square would mar it's historic value.
 "This point of view had never oc- cured to me until I read the criti- cisms,' and I fully agree that such changes should not be undertaken.
 My real purpose in having these plans drawn was to direct public at tention to the spiritual significance of Independence Hall, the old Square and the Liberty Bell in the Sesqui- -Centen- nial Celebration"

MY FAVORITE STORIES
BY Irwin Cobb

Most OF us are familiar with the story OF
the improVident person who, on being warned
by the head Of his bank that he must make
extensive deposits Immediately in order that
his drawing account might balance. made an
sWer follows:
Say, look here! I'm getting good and
tired Of having you fellows bothering me
about these petty financial details If you
begin Fostering me again I'll be derned il
don't take my Oyerdraft out of your bank and
transfer it to the Second National, across the
street.'
There's companion story for this, not
quite so old
A gentleman southern town well
known as brilliant, but careless. was per-
sistent in his applications for loans and ex-
tremely tardy about repaying them. He had
induced local bank to let him have forty
dollars and gave his note therefor.
At the end Of each 90-day period he inva-
riabIy appeared and asked that the note be
renewed; and as there was nothing else to do.
the bank always renewed it,
One day he appeared and said to the
cashier
I'D like to renew that paper OF mine you
have here"
Certainly" replied the cashier; "Ill fix
1t up for you"
The cashier made the proper preparations
for the renewal; and then he said:
Say, the directors were talking about this
paper of yours the other day. They decided
they wouldn't charge you interest on it any
longer"
That's very considerate OF them" was the
reply I'm mighty glad to hear it. l GER
tainly am under obligations to them"
Yes" continued the cashier, we're not
going to charge you interest, we're going to
charge you storage"
