Lawrence even has his hair cut

his head. The rest OF his hair is

The ssndmen had their first
basketball game Thursday aftsr-
noon. Although the final score
would indicate a terrific trouneing,
such was not the case. The Sand
men had control OF the game all
during the first half and only the
reserve strength OF the opponents
and the practice they had was
all that made the score appear
TO be lopsided. The score at the
half was 1890. You will have to
ask the 305th what the final count
was, for that Is a military secret
as far as this outfit is concerned.
