RecreatiOnal Activities.

Now that winter seems to be here
in earnest, the various indoor games
are in full swing.
On the first two days of the week
the boys have the gymnasium during
noon hour. On the Wednesday and
Thursday noon hours, the girls have
the right to play games there The
favorite games of both groups are
volleyball and basketball, and shoot
ing baskets is also enjoyed.
The ping-pong table has been re-
paired and is placed in the study hall
every noon for the benefit of the
senior high students. The junior
high students also have their ping
pong table in their home room
Several game boards are in use
throughout the school. The eighth
and ninth graders each have their
own game board and there are now
two new boards ready for use.
Sports.
The Alumni-high school basketball
game was played during Christmas
vacation. 1t was a rather wild game
with the Alumni taking good advan-
tage of their superior weight and size
The Alumni players played a good
passing game considering that they
had had little or no practice At the
half the score was 6 to in favor of the
Alumni The second half was faster
and smoother and as result more
scoring occurred. The Alumni led
FL to IL with a minute to play but
a last minute rally on the high
schools part scored four rapid points
The game ended, however, % to It,
Askov's next game should have
been next Friday night with Fin
layson, but it has been postponed
at the request of Finlayson.

Dave Macmillan estimates that
each team in the conference will lose
at least three games, that is a team
may tie for the championship in spite
of three defeats, "and," Dave adds,
''it may be worse than that. 1t may
be tie for first place with four
defeats"
That is not likely, but it is possible.
Well, the Gophers will be hard to
beat on their home floor. They
should win five out of six Confer
ence games at home. Then, if they
can win three out of six on the road
they will be close to the top and if,
by chance, they can win four out of
six their record may match the best
in the league.

The Church And
The Community
BY REV. jobs. KNUDSEN

Today, the sixth of January, was
by the ancient church called Epi-
phany. The word means showing
or presentation" and it refers to the
presentation of the Child to the wise
men from the East. This event we
generally associate with Christmas,
but it has its own day.
The wise men have been lavishly
adorned by tradition. They have been
called kings, their number has been
set at three, and they have even
been given the names of Caspar, Mel
chior and Baltasar. The simple facts
as we know them from the gospel of
Matthew, and the only ones which
we have, are only that wise men from
the east came to Jerusalem and Beth
lehem, met King Herod, worshipped
at the crib, and departed again.
We are grateful for the recording
of this little story, and we make
extensive use of it. It is a beauti-
full and touching, symbolic proto-
type of our Christmas worship, and
innumerable authors and poets have
made use of its theme throughout the
literature of the world
The wise men came from the
Orient, and they came to worship
the Christ Child. What comes today
from the Orient?-Our first impul-
Sive answer would include the words
war, hatred, atrocities, suffering, etc.
And yet there are wise men from the
east that come even today in wor-
ship. One of the most inspiring docu-
ments published during 1887 was
the letter of China's generalissimo,
Chang Kai-shek, What the Suffer-
ings Of Jesus Mean to Me, written
after his Imprisonment at Sian.
And from Japan?-Without dim
inishing our horror and protest against
the atrocities of Japanese militarism
we should listen to the "still small
voice" of those who come to Wor-
ship from that country. Kagawa
has recently published poem which
he calls ''To Tears" Let us quote
three of the six verses:
At midnight, dawn, midday
Ye come; nor wait your coming nor
delay;
Nay fearless, with what scorn
Ye picture China by my brothers
torn.
Your scorn l must accept,
But Pm no coward; pray heed ere
more we've wept;
/ love Japan so fair,
And China too; this war cannot
bear.
Like Christ who bore our sins upon
the cross,
I, too, must bear my country's sins
and dross;
Land of my love! Thy sins are griev-
GUS to be borne,
My head hangs low upon my form
forlorn.
Even today wise men come from
the east.

lcal condition of the Gophers.
This, of course, does not mean thai
the Gophers are going to win all
their games through the rest of the
season. No basketball team does that
But it does mean they are ready to
take their place in the Big Ten cham
pionship race. If they do not win
or share the title they will not be
far away.
Coach Dave Macmillan said the
most striking point of the game in
New York in which Minnesota de-
feated Long Island university and
New York university was the super
ior physical condition of the western
boys.
"Those eastern teams" said Dave
'did not seem to know anything about
attaining that keenness of condition
which our boys had. They knew q
lot of basketball but, as the game
wore on, our players remained fast
and strong and the eastern players
faded and finally ran out of gas"
That says something for our way
of living in this section We give
our boys sounder health because we
raise them from hard working and
hard playing stock and they have the
bodies which can be trained to out
last the human machines of our larg-
est city.
Kept Their Heads.
The Gophers were put on the spot
at the very outset of their eastern
trip. In the second minute of the
opening game Captain Martin Rolek
went out with a sprained ankle. He
had been the key man in Minnesota
play and it said much for the boys
that they were able to re-adjust their
play under the tension of performing
before more than $4,000 fans and
Immediately make new combination
that was good enough to win.
Into the breach sprang Gordon
Spear, a reserve of last season, and
Johnny Dick, an untried sophomore
Both played brilliant basketball and
the Gophers breezed along just as il
they had been at full strength.
There is no doubt, however, they
will be even a better team when
Rolek returns to the lineup. He is
an instructive basketball player and
true leader. He knows how to dc
the hard things the easy way and
to guide the entire team through in
tricate and successful plays.
Best in Years.
There is no doubt that this will
be the best basketball team Mime
sofa has had in Is years. Still ii
may not be good enough to win the
Conference championship. 1t just
happens that they are all good this
year-Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois,
Purdue, Northwestern-each of these
universities has it's best team in years.
