Knights Club Wins
First Round

Knights Club of Neighborhood
louise successfully crossed the first
hurdle on their way to their second
consecutive championship in the
Jackson Street Council Basketball
League, by winning the first round
with five straight victories which
assured them a spot in the cham
pionship play-off. The winners of
the second round, which started
January II, will play the knights
for the title. If the knights can re-
peat their first round performance
they will automatically be consid-
cred champions.
Runners-up for the first round
were "the old men" of the Japan
csc Methodist Church, the Metho-
dist "a" team which also finished
last years League in the number
two spot. The third place went
to the Methodist "B" team. largely
due to the loss of their game with
the "A"s.
In Thursday nights game, Pha-
lanx nosed out Japanese Presby-
terrain by a 1926 score. Wendell
Harrell scored 10 points to take
high honors for the evening, with
Ken Prim caging 9 and Bob Ka-
wahara tallying 8.
Twelve points separated the
winning Methodist sc" team from
the Filipino Catholic Youth Cru
saders in the second game of the
evening. Final score was 1922,
with Jim Nakamura of the "B"
team accounting for 10 points and
Crusader Jim Beltran scoring 8.
The final game of the evening
proved to be the thriller when the
knights beat the Methodist "A"
1924, as a result of a second half
rally. The half time score gave the
Knights a bare one point margin
at 14-13. An advantage in height,
coupled with good shooting in the
second half pulled the Knights out
of a hole and have accounted in
some measure for their position
as leading contenders in the Lea
que. The team shows advancement
from their performance of last
year, but is still ragged in spots.
Bob Derso Gagged IL points to take
honors for the game and the even
ing, with Min Uchimura taking
second honors with H. Members of
the first round winners include:
Leo Candiotti, captain. Bob Derso,
Sol Candiotti. Joe Candiotti, Lee

Sheratan Hotel, these two women
agreed that they would like to
participate in the Women's Pair
Event. and compete for the Lucille
Harris Trophy.
They were welcomed by Mr.. Lee

pressed hi shappiness to know that
they were participating in the
tournament.
After the tournament Mrs.
Brooks and Mrs. Gibson were din
ing there at the hotel, when they
learned from Mr.. Harry ]. Roth,
business manager of Greater New
York Bridge Association, who was
also dining, at the next table to
them, that they were the winning
pair. They would not allow them
selves to become too happy until
they could see the Recap Sheet.
On their way back to the Game
Room people were congratulating
them all along the corridor; by
that time they were both convinced
that they really had won. Needless
to say, they We're two very happy
people. OF course, after having
won the women's pair, they were
more than anxious to participate,
also, in the mixed pair event, and
they accepted. Result: Mrs. Brooks
and her partner. Mr.. M. c. Keller,
won the tournament. Mrs. Brooks
was completely aghast.
1t is significant to note that this
event was won primarily on defen-
sive play. So many persons be-
lieve one must play the hands in
order to win. To make the even
ing complete these players were
extended an invitation to appear
over Radio Station WOR as guests
of Mr.. Joseph Rosenfield, manager.
This was also new experience for
them as they had never before
been on the air, but with their
genial host they were made to feel
quite at home exactly as if they
were talking in familiar surround
ings with never conscious feeling

ious school-community relation
ships; and to foster better living
through renewed faith in coopera-
tive, democratic action"
The conference will be an all-day
affair, starting at $50 am. in the
auditorium of Wolf Hall on the
Newark campus, and continuing
until $3.50 pm.
Anyone who is interested is in
vited to attend" said Dr. Stauffer.
I'VE expect to have parents, teach
ers, educators, and other adults in
the community present. Residents
not only of Delaware, but of the
neighboring states, are invited"
In the morning, he said, read
ing lesson will be demonstrated.
I'm an unrehearsed situation, the

this demand. Now the university,
by establishing its reading pro-
gram, is beginning to take more
active part in providing guidance
which may contribute to the lives
of all children. The clinic aims to
provide instruction to any individ-
ual who wants to improve his
reading ability. Children, adoles-
cents. and adults may obtain help"

CHOOSE HYMN
OF THE MONTH
National Federation of Music
Clubs Choose Hymn For
This Month
ORIGIN OF HYMN

Mrs. Marian Lowe Hearne,
chairman for the Hymn of the
Month Committee of the Delaware
Federation Of Music Clubs, an
nounces that the hymn for Nov
ember is, 1--WE Plough the Fields
and Scatter" 1t was selected by
the Church Music Department of
the National Federation of Music
Clubs in its effort to have the
great hymns of the church become
better known. This fact is being
accomplished by telling its story
of origin and by singing it by
clubs, choirs, church and secular
schools, associations and other as
semblies at their meetings during
the month, as well as sung by
families in their homes.
This hymn is sometimes called
peasants song of harvest graft
tude. 1t is an instance of a poem
becoming a hymn without any
such intention on the authors part.
The words of this hymn are a part
of a long German poem of II STAN
zas written in 1882 by Matthias
Claudius a German scholar and
newspaperman, to be sung in
praise and thanksgiving TO God for
bountiful harvest. 1t was first
sung in Paul Erdmann's kitchen by
group of peasants gathered
there after the labors on their
farms during the summer. Cladius
made no attempt to write hymns
but several of his poems have
found their way into the Lutheran
and other hymnals. This one was
translated into English in 1861 by
Miss Jane Montgomery Campbell,
daughter of an English clergyman
and herself Sunday School teach
er. The tune, Dresden, to which
the words nave been set, is per-
haps the most popular one for this
hymn. 1t was arranged by Joseph
Barnby, an English organist, from
a tune by j. P. Schultz, a noted
German composer and conductor
We Plough the Fields and Scatter
We plough the fields, and scatter
The good seed on the land,
But it is fed and Watered
By Gods almighty hand;
He sends the snow in winter,
The warmth to swell the grain,
The breezes, and the sunshine,
And soft refreshing rain.
Refrain
All good gifts around US
Are sent from heaven above;
Then thank the Lord, o Thank
the Lord
For all His love.
