M. & M. School Notes

Dir. r. III. Scott presented the tenn
perane3 day address at chapel, Fri
day morning. He said that the sub
iect of temperance has been worn
threadbare and that temperance is
merely self-control. DR.. Scott list
ed alcohol, nicotine, marijuana, and
mars (war) as the four public en-
emies. Discussing these public men
aces he made the following state
ments: Since the repeal of prohibi-
tion in 1892, the sale Of alcohol has
increased yearly from 1932-1937,
90, 27, "a, 102 and 105 percent, re-

otine in any form. People under
the influence of marijuana are
maniacs and most criminals are adj
diets to this drug. Intemperance

Possibly the invaders low score
was a result Of NJ e MS monopili-
| zation of the ball; it is fact that
Caldwell had possession of the ball
seldom except after an M. & M. bas.
ket.
The invaders were remarkably
adept at working the ball down to
their basket. Once there however,
they were invariably confronted by
a ball-proof defense against which
their offense was helpless; they were
forced to shoot long shots or not
shoot at all, whereas the local boys
had little difficulty in scoring.
noteworthy fact about the Big
| Reds is that they permit no greedi.
ness on the part Of their opponents.
AS you may notice from the lineup,
| they made Caldwell's braves divide
the boat evenly. This share-the-
wealth plan by the way was not in
dorsed by Caldwell
On the reserve game, the McCon-
lnelsville reserves conceded a val
iantly fought for 1918 victory to
Caldwell's reserves. This is their
second defeat out of nine starts. The
| old saying that the reserves make
the varsity while true, can be chang
ed. In the case of M. & NJ IS cagers,
the varsity makes the reserve team,
since, by piling up a safe margin in
the first three quarters, the varsity
permits the seconds to see real ac-
ton during the fourth.
