RAMBLING ROUND
(By SapoliO)
Oirtier than ever, coming direct from
Pittsburgh

Having been troubled with Sleep
tits for the past 80 years and gently
doing on soft pine board l was
very much surprised to find that one
edition of The Republican cured me
for an entire week. My only draw
back was that l had no $1.50 for
subscription. After consulting with
Scoop on ways and means, I finally
offered carload of Spinach, but he
stated they were not planning any adj
ditions to the office and turned down
my offer temporarily. Still I have
hopes. The editor possibly may lay a
cement walk in front of his home and
spinach sand is so filling. However
we came to amicable terms by my
contracting for a bunch of Fourth of
July bananas in exchange for SUBJ
scription, so am still on the mailing
list for another year.
Pittsburgh, being very smoky, has
ban on all unnecessary smoke and
imagine my surprise to find box of
my favorites labeled to Sapolio upon
my departure from the city of having
the slogan Couples made one" Sure
send my thanks even if 1 must go to
New York to smoke them beyond the
IL mile limit.
Two Irishmen, while working on
railroad, were startled to see a train
approaching. Mike quickly sprang up
the bank alongside the tracks while
Pat started down the tracks on dead
run. The train struck Pat, tossing
him to one side. Mike asked why he
did not run up the bank. Pat replied:
"How the divil did you expect me to
beat the train up hill when couldn't
beat it on the level?"

COLLEGE BASKETBALL
Strong Peunsylvanaa Aegregatjo0 Meets Cornell At Ithaca tn Leaeuc Game,

New York, Feb. 2 W-With place in the league standing hanging in the balance. as 1t usually hangs when any two members of the East ern Intercollegiate BasketbalI League clash, the strong Pennsyl- vanta aggregation meets Cornell at Ithaca tonight in the second league game since the recess for examtna- tions.
 Penn has firm grip on the lead with three victories in as many games. with no other team offering a serious threat, Cornell is tied for third with Columbia n a result of the latter's defeat by Dartmouth Wednesday. Each has won and lost one game. By downing the league leaders tonight, the lthacans can jump into second place ahead of Dartmouth. which has three victor les and two defeats on its record.
 Cornell and Penn have not met 70 far this season. The Red and Blue has defeated Yale and Princeton by good margins and taken close game from Dartmouth while Cornell has beaten Yale after losing to the tail-end Princeton team.
 An important part of the result tonight hinges on how completely Cornclrs guards can cover Joey Schaaf. star Penn forward. who has tallied enough points in three con- tests to be close behind the league leaders who have played four or five.
