Wake Forest must be leaving
Washington with meaningful
snicker. The North Carolinians
came here for games with George

what did it do but slap the both of
them over.
The victory over Catholic Uni
versity was not scored until the
18th inning when two runs spat-
tered over the pan to give the
Southerners a~9 to z victory.

sion, Check Account Division,
Aces, Public Debt Glass b No. 1,

But wait. Ban johnson has only
begun. He is planning for even
more startling effects. Instead of
the yegg cap, he will soon have
his field umpires sporting nobby
alpine hats, each adorned with a
cut little feather. The feather will
vary in color with the day of the
week, and It is rumored that on
Sundays all six feathers will be
worn. thus giving color to the
scenery.
No vicious reds nor sOmbro
blues will be shown, but the most
delicate passionate pink, the i'm
ported pastel shades and all that
EurOpe's artists can suggest. Ban
wants the real thing and nothing
but.
Furthermore, Tommy Connolly Is
said to have suggested slashed
sleeves and trousers. Tommy is
getting gray in his old age and
being a son Of Erin suggests that
the various green orchid shades be
used as a starter.
Clark Griffith has equipped his
players with candy legs, but wait
til he sees what Ban has gone and
done. Griffith will turn red with
regret that he stopped at the candy
legs. Ban began there, having
seen the candy legs Of the New
York Giants and recalling the
lavender uniforms they once wore
in a world series against the Mack
men.

COLBY. NOTES

The debating season at Colby is
still on and the varsity team is pre-
pairing for its debates during the re-
mainder of the season. The most i'm
portant of these to be held is that
against Boston University, whose team
has had one of the most successful
seasons in the history of debating at
the Boston school. The Colby season
has been fairly successful thus far
and IL is hoped that a victory over
Boston University will be possible. as
that would be the climax to what must
be considered successful year. The
exact date Tor the contest with the
Boston team has not yet been assigned.
but will occur at some time soon after
April 26. That date was set by the
Colby authorities as the first possible
on which the team could compete and
the final selection left to the Boston
team. This selection should be made
soon, as both teams will end their sea-
sons within short time. DR.. Herbert
c. Libby, coach of the debating teams,
Is preparing the men who will COM
pete at that time and they should pre-
sent the strongest trio which has rep
resented the college this season.

the students and those who were
present at the occasion. In the man.
.ner in which every boy who took
part was dressed caused much
laughter from the student body.
Pictures were later taken of the en-
tire group outside of the school
house.
The Coburn Glee Club had their
rehearsal immediately after the

to the men on the Importance of

candidate is expected to do. He
also told the boys that the training
table will start soon and along with
that every boy is expected to keep
fit and stay in the best possible con-
dition by observing the training rules
of the school. This was followed by
the boys going on the field and doing
some real practice.
Anthony Picknarcik, who was the
manager of the Coburn baseball
team up until the past day or SO.
has recently resigned from the po-
sltion due to much school work the
individual has to make up for sick
ness. Picknarcik has the ability of
real manager and a marN to fill
his shoes will not be SO easy to find.
Coach Ray Haines called a meet
ing of all the boys in the dining
| room Immediately after the noon
dinner. He spoke to the boys on
the baseball team and told them
that they would have their first out
of door practice on the field. He
also mentioned that the team was
presently without manager, due to
the resignation of Athony Picknar-
elk. A discussion was carried on for
some time and several of the men,
bers suggested candidates for the
job. Wadsword Hamilton was the
most promising boy for the job. Aft
er an interview between the coach
and Hamilton the latter said he
would accept the position. Hamilton
came to Coburn this year and he is
to enter University of Maine this
coming fall. His home is in North
Arson.

The only witness for the State was
Oscar Haglund. deputy sheriff of

that one evening last month he and
Deputy Sheriff William V. Nash
found Denis on lower Main street

person that he could walk only with
difficulty. The case was continued
at that time because Denis was in
POOR health.
