The Coconino sun., 1925-02-27

The past week has been a busy one
on the campus at Normal. Last Fri
day was basketball night and two Of
the best games of the season were
staged on the Ashurst auditorium
floor The first game was called at
eight o'clock between the Normal
fenlmes and the Clarkdale sextette.
Both teams played a fast game bur
the Normal lassies were feeling rather
spry and had the edge on the visitors
for size, so the consequences amounted
to victory for the Lumberjills to the
tune of SO to IL.
The Lumberjack five played "a re-
turn engagement with Olson's Ter
Tible Swedes on their return east from
California. All who saw the game
say it was the best that has been
played on the Normal court. For the
first half, the home boys held the
visitors to very close score, the half
ending with the score standing 18 to
20. However the last half showed a
remarkable rally on the part of the
visitors and with the advantage of
superior. science in passing and on the
defense, they brought the score up
rapidly with long shots from the midi
die of the floor. Olson was excep-
tionally fortunate in eaging these long
shots. Pounds played the best game
for the Swedes. The Lumberjacks
PLAYED the best game of the season,
with Camp and Moore at forwards,
Poe at center and Vickers and Jarvis
at guards. Poe was high point man
with u scores and was followed by
Moore with ten. Camp played an ex-
cellent game although he did not
score. Roscoe and Stevens were in
the game for a few minutes and did
some excellent work at forwards.
Davis took Vickers guard near the
end of the game when Vickers was
disqualified by fouls. The .sc@e was
ID to 28 which is a wonderf as howing
compared with the previous geAne with
this team two weeks previous.
When the two Normal teams meet
Prescott on the Normal court tomor-
row evening they should again take
two easy victories. Prescott is invad-
ing the northern counties and their
game with Normal will end the home
season fer the Lumberjacks.
The senior carnival which took
place Saturday night was one of the
biggest affairs this year Many towns
people attended and had grand time
The work in preparing for the carni-
val took a number of weeks and on
Friday evening before it took place, a
large number of the students paraded
down town in costumes to advertise it.
From eight until after nine O'Clock, the
booths, where trinkets, balloons, hot
dogs and fortune telling were to be
had, held great attraction for ALL
About nine the Normal Toe Warmers
struck up their music and Immediately
almost, everyone except the children,
turned to dancing. The orchestra was
attired in costume, representing
gypsy, Turk, Arab, and Spaniard. The
whole thing was over at 11:30, and
the Normal seniors had succeeded in
putting it over very successfully and
were out of debt with enough left over
for the big senior hop to be staged in
June. The seniors thank all who
came out to help make the carnival
success and invite them to other such
affairs.
Paul PIummer of Prescott was
called from the midst of his work on
the senior carnival last week by i'll
health and was forced to go to Phoe-
nix for an operation. His many friends
sincerely hope that he will be among
US again within few weeks.
There has been number of cases
of flu and an epidemic of bad colds
going around for the past week or so.
Many of the classes at Normal have
been reduced from their normal size
by absences caused by this epidemic.
However, steps have been taken to
prevent any more of it than is neces-
sary, and conditions are improving.
President and Mrs. Cotton who are
visiting in the east are expected to
return next Thursday evening. Mrs.
Cotton is visiting her daughter In
Chicago while the president is attend
ing the meeting of the department of
