In addition to the fact that the

All Indian participation in the
war, DR.. McGill explained, must be
voluntary. The red men are bound
to be excepted from any coriscrip-
ton. The same was true in the
last war, however, and it is expected
that the Indian contingent this
time will be at least as large.
Indiap soldiers are not grouped
in units but scattered generally
through the regiments. Rumors of
their presence, it was found in the
last war, had a bad psychological
effect on the Germans, who had
been impressed as boys by reading

Va. Staters
In Eke-Out
Of Morgan

PETERSBURG, Va (SNS =
The Virginia State College baske-
teers won their tenth game in
seventeen starts Monday, February
26, when they surprised Morgan
College, 59-54, here in Daniel Hall
gym. This was the Trojan's second
game of the season with the Nor
gan Bears; the first having been
won by the Bears in Baltimore on
February 2 by a one-point margin.
Napper, Trojan captain and
guard, opened the scoring when
he dribbled the ball in under the
basket and flipped it in during the
first seconds of the game. The
Bears trailed and did not draw
abreast until 1915. The Virginia
State cagers showed little effort in
again taking the lead and running
up a six-point margin. 1t was
Hoax" Brown, Trojan center, that
kept sneaking past the defense to
get in close for set-ups. During
the game, he accounted for 26
points.
With the score 1926, the Trojans
had a 5-point advantage as the
first half ended. During the last
half, the Trojans breezed through
with as much as 10 and 11-polnt
leads at various times.

Coates was Cark's steadiest pre-

Dorothy Dix Says >>>
Beware of Boy Too Much Under
Domination of His Mother

Dear Miss DIX have been en-
gagged to my fiance for five years. He
never seemed to have much money
to spend, although he was always
working steady, with fair salary
and doing extra work in his spare
time. He spent almost nothing on
me. He told me that he turned in
his entire pay envelope to his
mother and received an allowance
from her, with the understanding
that one year preceding his mar
riage he would be permitted to keep
his pay. But when the time had
come when he wanted to marry she
refused to let him keep his money,
as she had promised. Now I have
a reputation for being a patient and
understanding girl, but I've reached
my limit. AS I have come to know
my fiance's family I have found out
that there are two other members of
1t working. Two of his younger
brothers seem to have money to
burn. So does his sister. His mother
seems 10 flnd plenty OF money to
spend on her own entertainment
and that of her friends. On several
occasions I have seen the mother
give the younger sons money to take
their girls out, whereas my boy
friend has asked me to stay home
because he was financially embar-
rassed, as his mother needed the
money. So / have begun to do a
little wondering. If he cares for
me so much why does he let his
mother practically skin him alive
at my expense? His excuse for
giving His mother all of his money
is that he owes her something. True
but doesn't he owe me anything?
Evidently, his mother Is going te
delay our wedding indefinitely. Am
I supposed to go on being patient
until die Of waiting? I love him
but does he love me? MARIE.
