a burst Of dumfounded Joy that the
cries of "Piggy!" coming from the
Scottsburg fans were not affecting him

Scottsburg had a forward and center

our defense formation, and we soon
found that we each had to take our

busy enough, but we found time to feed

 FOR SATURDAY
Doubleheader Attraction at High School Gymnasium
 Tomorrow Evening

The City Basketball League will offer a double bill for the enter tainment of Channel hoop fans to- morrow night at the local High School gymnasium. The Firemen's fast squad will open the warfare, taking on the Unalga quintet, and the Juneau High School five will meet the Douglas Bremen in the nightcap.
 The Unalgas strength is un- known as it hasn't appeared before this season. It is composed of husky young athletes some of whom have had considerable school cage work. It has been working out regularly and should furnish real opposition to the Bremen.
 The second game should be Q thriller. The school cagcrs are just hitting their stride. They came from behind in the opener two weeks ago and won from the strong Alumni team after the game seemed to be hopelessly lost. Since then the squad has had some stiff workouts and it's team play has improved materially.
 The Douglas Bremen got off to a bad early start this season and were trimmed by the Island school five. However, it has some first rate hoop artists in it's lineup and with little practice will be a tough customer for anything in the league.
 The opening game will start at o'clock.

A broken leg removed Hank Bru- der, the Northwestern backfield ace, from the fray early in the season. It was a coincidence that against Northwestern, Notre Danes fight ing center, Big Tim Moynihan, met similar injury that kept him from finishing the season against West Point. Fate was particularly un- kind to Moynihan, big and like able, the team jester" but reck- less, aggressive type of player apt to run the risk of just such an in- jury as he suffered. Big Tim takes his place along with such other fine centers of Notre Dame as Adam Walsh and Bud Boeringer.
 Stanford was handicapped much of the season by injuries to such outstanding players as Walt Hein- ecke, center, and the hard hitting Herb Fleishhacker. These two had about as much to do with wrecking the Army as any members of the Cardinal array last year and it will be no particular good news to West Point to know that they both will be in first class shape for the return game at Palo Alto on De- cember 28.

1 know youil tell me what's
wrong.
"I sure would like to shake
hands with you for the wonderful
advice you gave. Here's wishing
you oodles of luck and Z hoping
you'll print this SOON"
Thanks, my dear, for wishing
me "oodles of luck II can
really help you and thousands of
nice girls like you, with your prob
lens of friendship and romance,
l shall ask no better luck!
You do not tell me in your let
ter, Pep, how old you are. but my
guess is that you are sixteen. Am
nearly correct?
OF course, Pep, you are, sup
posed to be in schoo. for the pur-
pose OF getting an education.
School romance, including the ac-
QUESTION of school sweethearts, Is
a very minor consideration, indeed.
An education is of the utmost inn
portance to your entire future sue
cess. including your success in ro-
nance and marriage. That Is why
our parents go to the expense OF
keeping you in school. So give
your attention just now to acquir-
ing a t'.orough education-to ex'
ceiling In your studies-and post
pone all thought of pairing off in
couples u til school days are over.
To consider boys who come to see
you, who ride and dance and work
with you as sweethearts ana ad-
mirers is really very second rate.
To look upon them as friends ana
comrades is fine and worth while.
Why Is this true? Because it
is silly to get sentimental and
gushing until school days are
over and you are in position
to consider love and marriage seri-
ously. School days, on the other
hand. are a wonderful time, and
present a perfect opportunity for
founding fine, wholesome friend
ships, which may last lifetime,
and which in, many hundreds OF
cases have led in later years to
the happiest of marriages.
Perhaps it is because boys
sense sentimentality in your men,
tai attitude that they are inclined
to turn away from you to the
girl who appreciates and likes
them in q sympathetic. friendly
way, but is not over serious or
over.sentimental.
If you expect some girl to steal
your friend from you. Pep, the
chances are you will lose MIN.
But il you realize that friendship
and affection can be shared s+n-
erously and cannot be stolen. you
will be likely to receive more at.
tention from boys you know, and
of finer, more enduring kind. In
friendship. as in love, sometimes
the way to hold friend is to let
him go. Everyone likes to feel
free.
So IL may am going to sug-
gest that You think light-heart-
edly of boys you knew at school
as school friends rather than
school s%eethearts and cultivate
them as such. | believe in this
way you will hold all your friends
and main new ones. Isn't the plan
wor4A trying? All happiness to
you!
