QUESTIONS REPORT OF
SCONcH DAY EXERCISES

Editor The Citizen:
Please allow me space IN your
paper to remark about an article
that was run in the Saturday edi-
lion. The article that / have in
mind deals with the Seniors
"Conch Day Exercises" that was
held last Friday in the High
School. / think that the school
reporter, Maurice FELTON,, has
given an unfair report of the
event and slightly twisted the
facts about in order to throw his
class in q better light.
Every year the graduating class
of the High School has charge of
a program in which the Junior
class is made the butt of their
many jokes and as a result day
of fun ensues, This year the
Seniors were very careful about
their program and did not allow
any of their plans to reach the
ready ears of the Juniors. As a
result the Juniors were caught
completely off their guard and
did not have single comeback
at the Senior Glass. This was
strictly in accordance with the
custom of the school.
The Juniors finding out that
they we're completely aateone by
the Seniors tried to retaliate by
taking the conch shell from its
resting place in the school lobby
and after being made the butt of
the Seniors Jokes tried to ruin
their picnic for them by letting
air out of the tires on the cars
that was to carry the class on
the keys. However, they failed
and in order to still satisfy them
selves wrote what ! think was an
unfair account of the program to
make the public think that they
got the best Of their upper class
men.
As have heard many COM
ments on the able way in which
the Seniors presented their pro-
gram, ! hope that you viii find
space in your paper TO run this
correction and advise the school
reporter to be more careful of his
reports for newspapers in which
the facts are supposed to be
presented clearly without throw
ing any personal feelings into
them.

NOTRE DAME, Ind. Dec. 90
Notre Danes basketball team

ball machine last night when for
the first time in history it turned
back a Purdue cage quintet, 80 to %.
Seven thousand fans gained en-

classic. and hundreds were denied
admittance as the bleachers were
crammed. 1t was the sixteenth con-
secutive victory for the Irish i've.
Joe Voegele. senior forward, led
the Notre Dame scoring attack,
gathering in twelve points, while
Captain Ed (NIooSe) Krause counted
ten and Leo Grove tailed nine. En-
met Lowery scored thirteen points
for Purdue. The game was rough,
with seventeen fouls registered
against each team. Notre Dame sank
thirteen out of twenty-five free
throws, while Purdue made only
eight of its twenty-five offerings

widening it to 20 to II at half time.
In the second period the Notre
Dame baSketeers played a waiting
game, making Purdue come for the
ball, and driving through for points
as the BoilermakerS opened their
defense to force the play. Captain

In the twenty-eight minutes be-

concerning variations of eye-gouging
and strangling that took O'Shocker'S
mind off the business at hand.
During the rest period O'Shocker
confided: IF that (you guess WHAT

Less than fifteen minutes after
they returned to the ring, and dur
