Dissent and Patriotism
Are Held Compatible

Patriotism need not be a blind
emotion. but should be accompanied
by intelligent observation of events,
Nelson Pierce. secretary to Repre-
sentative Hill of Washington. told a
meeting of the Washington Keep
America Out of War Committee yes
terday in Mcpherson Square. Mr
Hill had been booked as the speak
er. but through an error in his
schedule was speaking in New York
at the time
To disagree with national pol
icy does not necessarily mean lack
of patriotism, said Mr Pierce. who
attacked the proposal of United
States conveys for ships going with
materials to England.
The speaker listed four points
made last year by Senator La Fol-
lette of Wisconsin in a discussion
of the European war. In substance.
the points were: The United States
has no responsibility TO keep Europe
at peace the current war is being
fought for imperial causes; extern
Sive aid to warning nations will bring

Out of Twelve so
Far This Season

Michigan Normal's specialists In
close basketball games repeated
their favorite act OF spotting the
opponent a stable number OF
points in the trst period and then
turning on the pressure In a fast
last-hslf rally at Kalamazoo Friday.
The attempt to gain a victory
over Kalamazoo College fell just
short OF the mark, as the Hurons
were defeated by a 1926 score.
The Hurons will face Hope Col
lege at Ypsilanti High School gym

who trounced Michigan Normal
two weeks ago, will be strengthen

ing lineup will probably be Ken
vanden Berg. Gil Van Wierep, Bob
Montgomery and Don De Fouw.
The varsity contest will be pre-
coded by a game between Huron
freshmen and Saginaw Y. NJ. c. A.
The tipotf is scheduled for $50.
Normal really didn't start moving
against Kalamazoo Saturday until
midway in the second half. BY
that time the Hornets were In
front by nine-point margin, 26.17.
Then, by holding Kalamazoo
scoreless, the Hurons rapidly made
up the difference on a pair OF field
goals and a free throw by Eddie
Kontrymowicz and basket by Carl
Alfsen.
Finally Fritz BENEFITS put the
game in deadlock at 26-26, and the
prospects OF Normal victory were
not at all gloomy. Kalamazoo suf-
fered q further blow at this point
when Forward Ollie Siewert twist
ed his ankle and was forced to re
tire from the game.
In trotted George Williams hith-
erto an unheralded substitute on
the Kalamazoo team. Williams
came through in the clutch, how.
ever, to score the winning point
just two minutes before the whis-
tie.
A personal foul charged to Kon-
trymowicz gave him his opportuni-
| ty. Williams, senior, calmly
stepped to the foul line and swish
ed the ball through the hoop. As
further insurance Dick Demmer
scored with four seconds to go
Kalamazoo dominated the first
half as completely as Michigan
Normal did the second period. The
Hornets took advantage OF weak
defense to push in close for a lot
Of shots.
After scorins their first point
shortly after the game started. the
Hurons did not hit the point col.
umn again until seven minutes had
been played. Then Kontrymowicz
sank a free throw.
Kalamazoo had a halftime lead
OF 1913.
Kontrymowicz was the big gun
in Normal's attack with II points,
FIVE of them made on charity
losses. Lemmer was only one point
behind with five field goals.
Kalamazoo's triumph was its
sixth Of the season. Normal has
lost ten out of ~ starts.
