NORMAL HAS NYA AID F0RSTUDENTS Government Money Benefits 59 Students From All Over The State MORE STUDENTS THIS QUARTER, SAYS REGISTRAR Better Economic Conditions Are Major Factor In Increased Attendance Washing windows, digging trees, cutting wood, carrying scenery, work­ ing in the field, helping the piano tuner, carrying soup—these are some of the novel jobs done by students un­ der the National Youth Administra­ tion at the Normal. Other students work in the office, the library and the training school. "Much credit for our increased en­ rollment must be given to the aid to students by the federal government," Kenneth Courson, Normal school ac­ countant, said this morning. "We try to give jobs to students that couldn't go to school otherwise. And it's sur­ prising how much faster ibillshavebeen paid up this year." iStudents from all over the state are included in the 59 employed, with 32 women and 22 men. Eleven are local students, and the rest come from as far away as Aberdeen, Castle Rock, Okanogan and Goldendale. Students make on an average $15 per month, although individual earn­ ings run all the way from $5 to $20. With a government allotment of $675 per month, payroll figures for the last two months were $671 and $675. Mrs. Robert E. McConnell Undergoes Operation Mrs. Robert E.

As one-time president of Amherst College, professor of philosophy and dean at Brown uni­ versity, author of several outstanding books and as director of the Center for Social Study in San Francisco he has earned the reputa­ tion of having a profound inside into the experimental phase of education. In bringing him here to discuss significant problems and trends that interest prospective teachers, the Normal school is providing a valuable service to all who are entering the teaching field. ~ * Many of his articles have been pub­ lished in leading educational and lit­ erary magazines. He has spoken very widely in American cities, colleges, and universities. He has been espec­ ially successful in speaking before Parent-Teachers associations, teachers conventions, high school and college commencements and business men's clubs. Dr. .Meikeljohn has outlined several important justifications for the time and energy given by teachers and stu­ dents to study. Among' them he 'be­ lieves the most important is studying how to set right and keep right, a so­ cial order which continually goes wrong. In his study of education and the social order he has come to the con­ clusion that the work of schools and colleges runs counter to the competi­ tion theory of human nature, which is dominant in our industrial society. One or the other must igive away he believes and today's students must de­ cide which it shall be. So timely are Dr. Meikeljohn's lec­ tures that no student contemplating a teaching career can afford to miss the coming assembly. Rainbow College Club Organized ' A^e^du&hasbeen. organized on the Ellensburg Normal Campus, mem­ bership of which is composed of all girls who are or who have belonged to the Order of Rainbow for girls.

The purpose of the club is to re-unite the Rainbow inter­ ests of girls who are away from home. They are hoping to have a very busy and successful quarter in the spring, both in a social and a business way. They boast the most attractive trio on the Campus, known as the Sigma Tau Alpha Trio—and who are none other than the already popular Har­ riet Castor, Lorna Jackson, and Phyl­ lis Tidland. You'll be hearing them and you'll be hearing more of this pep­ py new club. DR. SPARKS ENDS LECTURE SERIES Discusses New Ideas On Mental Life of Child In Last Lec­ ture Before P.-T. A. Altho complete registration figures are not yet available, it is predicted by Henry J. Whitney, registrar, that the final check up will show an in­ crease over the Winter quarter enroll­ ment, which totalled 408, 18 iper cent more than the 347 recorded for the same quarter last year. While there is usually a droip in the enrollment for Spring quarter, Mr. Whitney said, the number of inquiries about the school and the increase in the number of pre-registrations indi­ cate that it will be equal or greater than in the winter. Better economic conditions in the homes, government aid to students and support of school expansion and em­ ployment of more teachers were ad­ vanced as reasons for the enrollment increase. Everyone who wanted to teach was iplaced last year, according to Mr. Whitney, who said that it appeared likely that even more openings would be found this year for graduates. There will be 75 students completing a three-year course and 20 receiving degrees for four years of work next June, he said. DR. McCONNELL WILL SPEAK AT EDUCATION MEET Spokane Conclave To Hear Re­ ports On Accrediting Of Schools Teacher-Librarians of the Yakima valley district met in conference and discussion in the Public Library at Yakima on Saturday, March 14. At that time Miss Margaret Mount, li­ brarian of the Normal school, announ­ ced plans for expanding the course in Library Science at the Ellensburg Normal. A number of the delegates expressed interest in the new course which will offer students an oppor­ tunity to earn credits toward a "min­ or" in Library Science. "You ask what makes a good rural teacher?" (Miss Jennie Moore, super­ visor of the rural school training de­ partment, is ready to give her answer. Thru much observation and study and extensive work with innumerable rural and urban teachers thruout the state, Miss Moore has become an authority on that question. "A rural teacher must have all the traits of a city teacher in a superla­ tive degree. She has a great respos- sibility and must be able to face it by herself. She must above all things have initiative and ingenuity, for she must be a "self-starter" or run the risk of never starting. Her work is to run a most complex educational mechanism smoothly. She often has a veiy wide range of ages and grades to manage. How can she do this suc­ cessfully if she is not systematic and has not the capacity to organize these young people of the group so that there is a spirit of cooperatin and helpfulness toward one another? Also, does not the wide range of grades call for one who has a broad command of subject matter? In no other situatioi does a teacher need to know the re­ quirements and thoughts of different aged children as well as does a rural teacher. "A rural teacher is the school nurse, and the school's special music and art teacher. She must keep accurate rec­ ords and make her own daily schedul'e. She must be able to make selections of materials and be responsible for keeping the environment attractive. "Having a general liking for rural life and being sincerely sympathetic with the 'problems and dreams of rural people are both essential characteris­ tics of a good rural teacher. She is a welcome member of the social center, and the people of the environment look to her for new ideas and new pleas­ ures. She contributes to the life of the rural community through special abil­ ities such as playing an instrument, coaching natural dancing and dramat­ ics, and teaching art work. Is not rural teaching indeed a challenge to any teacher? It is professional work where a teacher can develop her own ideas and personality to the utmost. 'She is loved and appreciated by those about her who add much to one's life by their sincere friendship." The annual meeting of the North­ west Association of Secondary and Higher Schools will be held in Spo­ kane April 6, 7, 8, according to an an­ nouncement received at the Normal school from Frederick E. Bolton, sec­ retary of the association. April 6 will be given over to execu­ tive meetings of the commission for accrediting schools. The theme of the program for April 7 is: "Recent Trends in Higher Education." The speakers are Frederick M. Huiiter, Chancellor of Oregon State System of Higher Education Dexter M. Keezer, president of Reed College Lee J. Rob­ inson, (president of Gonzaga Univer­ sity Georg® E. Carrothers, professor of Education, University of Michigan Robert E. McConnell, president Ellens­ burg State Normal school. The program for April 8 deals with reports of committees and commis­ sions dealing with accrediting stand­ ards. The main speakers are: George E. Carrothers, University of Michigan Frederick E. Bolton, University of Washington F'. L. Stetson, University of Oregon Philip Soulen, state high school inspector, Idaho, and M. P. Moe, executive secretary of Montana Edu­ cation association.

An ancient Persian tapestry, valuec ot $12,000, has been given to St. Olaf's College, Northfield, Minn. Speaking on "The Mental Life of the Child," Dr. L. D. Sparks of the Teacher's College education depart­ ment, concluded his series of talks to parents and teachers Tuesday evening at the Edison P.-T. A. The old fatalistic idea that heredity determines intelligence has been modi­ fied and other factors, such as body irregularities are now known to affect an individual's intellectual perform­ ance, according to Dr. 'Sparks. Intelligence tests are somewhat in­ accurate, since experience influences the test scores and sipecial aptitudes and abilities may exist even in cases of low general intelligence, he said. Special abilities are fostered by fav­ orable physical and mental traits, but disabilities, also, have definite causes. There may be lack of aptitude some physical handicap or an emotional block produced by some dramatic inci­ dent. The latter Dr. Sparks illustrated with the case of a little girl who show­ ed a poem she had written to her fam­ ily. Practically every word was badly misspelled, and hearty laughter was the only resp'onse to her efforts. This hurt the child so that she never again attempted poetry. Several years later It was discovered that the verses indi­ cated innate ability. (Continued on paee 8)

Adviser Nicholas E. Hinch EDITORIAL POLICY Editorials, whch under ordinary conditions are expected to be an intelligent interpretation of news events according to a news­ paper's individual standards are apt to become a farce in the. case of the college paper. The editorial section of the college news or­ gan is frequently found to be a dumping ground for a series of trite remarks that give little or no indication of an interest in issues outside the sacred precincts of the Campus. Maudlin statements about school spirit, the problem of mid-week dances, and a host of other trivialities are the usual stock in trade of the school paper editorialist. Maybe this is because he is expected to be the conformist type of thinker who believes that 'all is well about the educational in­ stitution and the world outside. It is expected that if his interest should wander away from the school's petty problems to the issues that are being juggled in the daily press, he must not play with the idea that perhaps good government is a pipe dream, republics are corrupt, despots are benevolent 'and democracy is impossible. This would indicate that he has a touch of curiosity about problems that are real and vital and would cast some doubt on his conservatism. Bather than be suspected of haboring radical ideas he confines his comment to standardized remarks about the routine affairs of his school. Assistant Editor Wanted The Campus Crier is now seeking an assistant editor. Miss Anne Massour- as has resigned the editorship. Wil­ liam: E. Richert, who has been assist­ ant editor during the past two quart­ ers assumes the editorship, and the faculty adviser is now looking over the school to find the most eligible and suitable person who can be train­ ed during the tSpring and Summer quarters to accept .the editor's chair next October. The prospective editor ought to be a third or fourth year stu­ dent next October with as much ex­ perience as possible before that time. I shall be 'glad to confer with any student prospect. N. E.

CAMPUS CHIC Spring has come to the Campus and in spite of the snowfall of Tuesday morning the coeds and young men of this school broke out with an epidemic of bright spring outfits. i Gray is the predominate spring col­ or, with blue running a close second, and may be brightened up with red or green, or in fact, any gayly colored accessories. Dorothy Brown has a new dark blue mannish suit with gray accessories. Blue shoes are the thing for spring and are being featured in all the stores 'besides being shown in all the fashion magazines (by the way, have you no­ ticed those worn by Dorothy Nagle?)

Short plaid coats, finger-tip length or a lit­ tle longer, are smart! for both men and women. Colored buttons are very modish and very popular arid the more colors you can get on one outfit the better it is. Gay silk prints are very good. Everyone's noticed Bernice Broad's clever red one. Pleats are still good and tucks on the stockings and yoke are especially smart. Dresses with bits of criss cross lacing are. being shown.

A few weeks ago Toscanini was guest conductor with a rather medi­ ocre radio orchestra and there was speculation as to whether the group would sound much different under the baton of the maestro than under the baton of the more ordinary leader. The effect was startling—one of the most impressive concerts resulted. Perhaps Toscanini had insisted on a larger orchestra perhaps he had bi-dt with him some of the Philharmonic lack perhaps the musicians were anxious to impress him and play well under the man with the great reputation or perhaps the spai'k wa furnished by the conducting of Toscanini. On this speculation the author would tend to the last interpretation. Toscanini is weli on the wew to be­ coming legend while yet aliveH-a nice idea for him, but a dangerous thing to music. Stefan offers his book as evi­ dence against ,¥uch a fate. In his hands "Genio" becomes a man of tre­ mendous intellect, of sensitive feelings and refined emotions, but still a man whose skill is that of muscular re­ sponses. The biographer never loses sight of what every musician knows— that performance is a matter of mus­ cular control and physical exertion— not of hypnotic trances and Ouija ma­ nipulations. Yet the picture is not of neuromotor reflexes, of perspiration and adrenalin, but of an exquisitely developed sense of movement and of a consciousness of work to hand. In a sense this is the story of a dancer. The musical sentimentalist is brot closer to reality by the reading of this book, and he does not suffer in so moving indeed, he gains. The facts of Toscanini's life are somewhat in the pattern of Horatio Alger but Stefan has manage to make the story dignified and significant. The musically sophisticated vwill hold an unfair advantage here for the in­ cidents, the names, and the perspec­ tives are needed to follow the stoi'y closely. ' Stefan Zweig supplies a foreword, and twenty-four pages of excellent can-camera pictures "are to be found at the back of the book, and their presence adds much to the impression given in words by the author.

THE GAMPUS GRIER BIG ATTENDANCE AT EDISON ALL- N ATIONFESTIV AL Obtain Real Foreign Atmosphere As Result Of Planned Exhibits About 700 tourists enjoyed travel­ ing around the world Thursday even­ ing, March 12, at the Edison Training school. This astounding opportunity for the regular "stay-at-homes" was made possible for all those who at­ tended the "Festival of Nations" which has become almost a tradition of the Edison school. It was 'presented by the children, teachers, student teachers, supervisors, and parents of the school. Upon entering the school, which was a "house of the nations" for one even­ ing, ihe travelers were first directed to their own country "Where Little Americans Work and Play.-" The kin­ dergarten demonstrated their library furniture and-other furnishings that they had and gave clever dram­ atizations which had grown out of their daily work such as a story, •which centered around their activityjn the grocery store. Good American lol- lypop.s and ice-cream were sold here. A fascinating Sugar Plum Tree was found prepared by the first grade. Also a balloon man sold colorful bal­ loons. Original dramatizations, plan­ ned and worked out bv the children •about "Home Life" were cleverly pre­ sented. "A House for iSale" and "The Twin's Birthday Party" were ployed in the new house with its furniture which the children have just finished. This is the first year that these two .grades have participated in this school affair. As the travelers climbed the stairs to the second floor, they found them­ selves in the midst of the yearly Jap­ anese celebration, the Feast of Dolls, and the Feast of Flags. Merry Jap­ anese songs were sung to the travel­ ers by the pupils. Kites, Japanese dolls, Japanese lady statuettes, and assorted animals, that the children had * made, were all for sale. Jaipanese children from Wapato, directed by Mr. Frank Fukuda, gave two charming Japanese dances, the Snow Dance, and the Parasol Dance. Four-yeai'-oid Bet­ ty Fujimoto delighted the listeners with her songs. A demonstration of Japanese costuming was also a great attraction. Across the hall was another part of the Orient. A gay Chinese street scene with huge colorful decoration^ iriade a very mystic setting for tiny markets which were located where •could be found ahnond cakes, tea, Jind delicious candied apples. The fourth grade also provided a resting 'place on the lawn of a Swiss hotel, where one could get away from the congested halls outs de. Here delightful Swiss dancers entertained the weary sight­ seers as they ate milk chocolate bars. On the second floor were found many special features, probably the most intriguing one being the Interna­ tional Coffee Shop where French pas­ tries, tarts, Norwegian spruts, fattig- fund buckles, Venetian torte, American .pies, cakes, ice cream:, coffee, and fruit ipunch were served. Exhibits of var­ ious countries with people nearby in native costume greeting the newcom­ ers in native tongue were found in various parts of the shop. Students of the Activity class arranged the ex­ hibits and helped serve the food to the many customers^ A committee of mothers consisting of Mrs. Louis Fit- terer, Mrs. SterliBg, Mrs. Wynn, Mrs. Lowe, and several pthers arranged for the securing of food. All parents helped and gave more than was asked in every way, not only in preparing the food for the coffee shop, but in loaning articles for exhibits, helping chilren in programs, and in costum­ ing clothes for different countries. No finer cooperation could have been desired from the iparents. Due to the •very fine delicacies, the food shop proved to be the most popular nook, "and financial returns were exception­ ally fine. The 'book exhibit in the children's library, "Around the World With Books" was very cleverly dis­ played and much enjoyed. Surprise packages and peanuts were for sale in the hall booth and proved to be a great attraction to the young travelers. Going to the top floor of the build­ ing, the traveler again saw America, this time America in its pioneer stage. Wonderful exhibits of pioneer homes, furnishings, costumes, and the devel­ opment of transportation were fea­ tures in the fifth grade room. Doll '" clothing, pioneer furniture, and vehic­ les were, made by the boys and 'girls. Pioneer doll's, doll quilts, rugs, and ibean bags were sold to many souvenir hunters. Pop corn balls, the pioneer . candy, was on sale also. A European travelogue consisting of talks given by pupils and slides of dif­ ferent countries was featured by the . sixth grade. As an outgrowth of an activity unit, a magnetism exhibit, talks, and demonstrations were given. A Greek exhibit was much enjoyed by the sight-seers. Home made candy and Italian torchetti were foj- sale for all who wished to refresh themselves be­ fore beginning their homeward jour­ ney. A 200-pound Montana State foot­ baller lost 19 pounds in ten" days whe* the coach decided he was overweight for spring practice. . .. • Cornell University has received a $15,000 Rockefeller Foundation grant for drama taining.

APPOINTED SECRETARY Mary McLennan, senior and former student, having been appointed secre-. tary to the superintendent of schools m Kelso, has left the Campus -to begin work there. Miss McLennan was an Art major and is remembered for her fine work in photography. Substitute Nurse Serves Pour Days Students who called for medical aid at the infirmary last week were sur­ prised to find a new nurse taking over the duties of Helen Ritchie, regular school nurse, who was called away by an ii'lness in the family. For four days, Thelma Rounds, a classmate and close friend of Miss Ritchie, supervised infirmary cases and attended to the miscellaneous cuts, bruises, and colds of Normal students. Both young women 'are graduates of the Harborview hospital in Seattle. MORE ABOUT DR. SPARKS ENDS (Continued from page 1) The upper limits of attainment are roughly fixed by heredity, but no one ever achieves his full- capacities, ac­ cording to Dr. Sparks, for the reason that physical handicaps, ipoor health, and inefficient working habits fre­ quently modify accomplishment. In the three previous lectures be­ fore the Edison P.-T. A. Dr. Sparks took up the topics of Phyical Growth and the Development of the Child, Emotional Development of the Child, and Problem Children. In developing the importance of the child's physical well being, Dr. Sparks discussed the factors modi f y i n g growth and edvelopment which includ­ ed important points on malnutrition, sickness and accident that all parents should know. The emotional life of the child, dis­ cussed in the second lecture included some well established facts concern­ ing the child's problems that might become serious if they were allowed to develop. Emotions, the speaker said, are not inherited entities but a product of experiences. Emotional de­ velopment must be studied from the point of view that emotions grow from problematic situations for which the child has no response.. The third lecture of the series took uip some interesting case studies. Here it was stressed that punishment unin- telligently administered is a cure all about as ineffective as Lydia Pink- ham's pills for pale people. A parent must analyze the emotional responses seeking the cause of the response and trying to treat the case in terms of cause. m HINDU SPEAKER Dr. Kewel Motwami, Hindu and au­ thor of "Manu," a study of Hindu so­ cial theory, spoke Friday morning at the Noimal assembly. He wore na­ tive costume. He is a graduate of the Indian National University and receiv­ ed degrees at Yale and the University of Iowa. He endeavored to enlighten the Occiental mind as to Oriental thinking and his talk was a scholarly effort. Few communities have the oppor­ tunities offered Ellensburg people in the high class of educational enter­ tainment offered by outstanding men and women brought here by the Nor­ mal. A week seldom passes but that a rare program is offered which generally free to the public.

"SHOW THEM NO MERCY" SUNDAY, MONDAY, TUESDAY "DANGEROUS" WEDNESDAY BIG NIGHT and Return Showing . "VIVA VILLA" : THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATUR. "BEYOND BENGAL" Ithaca, N. Y.—(ACP)—Despite un­ dergraduate protest and adverse crit­ ic'sm from The Cornell Daily Sun, student newspaper, President Living­ ston S. Farrand has announced that Cornell will send two representatives to the 550th birthday celebration of the University of Heidelberg this sum­ mer. Dr. Farrand said he did not re­ gard an "exchange of courtesies" be­ tween the two institutions as involving an expression .of judgment on Ger­ man policies in government ox: educa­ tion. Distinguished alumnus Hendrjk Wil- lem Van Loon expressed a different view in two telegrams sent The Sun. Participation by Cornell in the cele­ bration would be "an insuffei'ablie in­ sult" to the university's founder, he declared. Van Loon's letter asserted that "the Germans, feeing free, white and twen­ ty-one, are of course entitled to any sort or form of 'government that hap­ pens to please their Teutonic fancy, and it is none of oyr business to what lengths they may go in offending the decent opinion of the rest of man­ kind. "But it seems incredible," he con­ tinued, "that Hitler's bright boys would care to associate with repre­ sentatives of a university founded by that eminently broadminded Quaker, Ezra Cornell." Meanwhile, Harvard authorities were trying to think their way thru a pretty quandry. Consistency called for refusal of the bid, since scholar­ ships offered by Ernst Hanfstaegel, Hitler aide, were twice refused. How­ ever, Harvard has invited Heidelberg to send representatives to itsown30dth anniversary celebration, doesn't dare to risk a retaliatory snub. Opinion at Princeton, passed up by the Nazis, seemed to be that the uni­ versity had missed nothing but a headache. Invitations to British univei'sities were withdrawn by Prof. Wilhelm Groh, rector magnificus of Heidelberg, following- publicity similar to-that at­ tending the Cornell decision here. English scholars had asserted 1936 was the 549th, not 550th anniversary of Heidelberg, basing the claim on an original charter in the British museum, adding that the date of the celebration, set for next June, coincided exactly with the date "of the Nazi "blood ipurge" of last year.

Mi s Amanda Hebeler spent a day in Tacoma before she went to Seattle to take part in a speech conference. Miss Vivian Kidwell vacationed in Portland, Oregon. Seattle visitors over the week end were Miss Jennie iMoore, Miss Mary Simpson, Mhs Dorothy Dean, who al­ so visited in Tacoma, Miss Alice Mc­ Lean and Miss Genevieve Bale whose homes are in S'eattle. Also in the Puget Sound city during the vacation were Mr. Reginald Shaw and Dr. E. E. Samuelson. Prof. N. E. Hinch visited Cheney for a short time. BOOK REVIEW By LOIS JEAN OLSEN Dr. Donald MacRae, head of the English department, not only teaches literature but writes it as well. Mac.- Rae, a graduate from Iowa Universitv with a Doctor's degree in Languages and Literature, has had several stories published in popular fiction maga-. zines, such as THE MIDLAND, THE FRONTIER & MIDLAND, and AMER­ ICAN PREFACES. In the MIDLAND'S issue of Febru­ ary-March of 1932 and in the winter issue of the FRONTIER & MID­ LAND are two of his stories. THE MIDLAND story was given two-star rating by O'Brien in his selection' of "Best Short Stoi'ies of 1933." DER SCHONE ROBERT, the FRONTIER & MIDLAND story, re­ ceived one-star rating in O'Brien's year book for 1935. Last month's AMERICAN PRE­ FACES ran one of his interesting stories called, COMFORT ME WITH APPLES'. This magazine is an Iowan publication. There is a wide divergence both in style and content among these three stories, which may also be found in the library here. MORE ABOUT READING CLINIC (Continued from page 1) "Spring Comes On Forever" by Bess Streeter Aldrich is a sweeping and in­ spiring novel of American life dealing with the settlement of the West, run­ ning from pioneer days in the 1860's down to the present time.

The Bett's telebinocu- lar, which has been used in testing the eyes of children in the Edison school, was also explained by Miss Hebeler. Miss Clara Meisner, primary super­ visor, explained the need of large and varied experiences as a basic factoi in reading readiness. Activities and materials used in these grades were explained and demonstrated _ by Miss Laura Minkler, teacher of kindergar­ ten, and Mrs. Pearl Jones, teacher of the first grade.

Behind her, she left Matthias Meier, whom she loved and would have married, except for a whim of fate and the over-bearing nature of her father, in Nebraska, she mar­ ried her father's choice, heavy-jowled Herman Holmsdorfer from whom, in spirit, she remained forever apart. To this couple a child was born, and thus began the family whose triumphs, defeats, and individual destinies, as they touched upon the life of Amalia, are followed down thru the years. The days of the pioneer and settler forge into those of the prospering far­ mer, then into the period of the over- prosperous depression years when the descendents of prosperity gave up the town's luxuries and, in gall'ant re­ trenchment, returned to the farm. Thru all this changing scene is also woven the story of Matthias Meier and his family, who, being pioneers in business rather than farming, con- •trast interestingly with the other characters. And amid this magnifi­ cent ipageant of thg last seven decades of Amalia's life, its dreams, its brav­ ery, its traditions, there emerges the human and lovable personality of Amalia, grown very old as the story closes, but finding in the marriage of her great grandson to the grand­ daughter of her first love, Matthias, that thru the years, Spring had truly come on forever.

The one big asset of his, and a big one, too, is that he gets remarkable results from a disordered array of green athletes, who heretofore have not had the slightest idea of college competition. Another very commendable feature of his work is that he can build up good cooperative spirit in ath­ letes who have been babied by their prep mentors, because of some outstanding quality. His record is over-flowing with irrefutable proof of these qualities. He may be hard to get along with, but that is (because he holds performance above intimacy.

GOLF AND TENNIS TO FURNISH TESTS FOR WILDCAT HOPEFULS Veterans Available For Both Sports Looking forward to new conquests in the reahn of cage endeavor, the Normal school varsity hoop machine filled in with the Yakima alumni five in a recent Northwest Y. M. C. A. tournament at Yakima. This ifive. operating with the regular quint, won second place in the toumey. The Yakima hoopmen opened by de­ feating the Portland entry 58-37. In this game, a quintet composed of San­ ders, Bunstine, Drovetto, and Holl. as- asisted by 'Sill, ex-Cat guard, started the fracas and left near halftime with a comfortable advantage. The regular outfit finished the game. Bunstine and Sutphin won high point laurels. Another victory was scored, this time over Boise, Idaho, 37-18. In this tilt, the same lineups performed, with a polish rarely seen in their regular season games. Paiced by Cutie Clark and iMike Re- ser Whitman coll'ege luminaries, the Walla Walla Warriors captured the final from Yakima 44-42. This time the Wildcats left the floor at mid- game with a ten-point deficit, the gap being closed by the alumni. Other games found Walla Walla de­ feating Olympia, rolling up over 90 points, as Clark, Reser, and Bierwagen ran wild. Portland defeated Olympia 56-35, in a consolation set-to. There were no Wildcats on tye All-Star ag­ gregation. All Lettermen Are Back Baf- faro and Cappa Promising prospects With two lettermen returning, the Wildcat divot diggers will share with the other spring sports proteges, the revival of minor sport attractions, this year. Golf lias long remained in the background as a Campus pastime. A poor third was taken by the Wild­ cats last year in .their Tri-Normal en­ deavors in this sport, with the Jacob- sen brothers .boosting Bellingham into the championship picture. For the last few years no local representative has even bettered 100 as an 18 hole gross score. COLLEGIATE SPORT GOSSIP However, this dubious distinction will not be attained this year. iSam Baffaro, winner of the Seattle caddy crown and Fabio Cappa, runnerup in a Gray's Harbor .tourney, have boast­ ed medal cards in the 80's. Bill Carey, Carl Howard, Eddie Robinson, and Nate Porter will blast white pellets out of the bunkers, also. Tho the dates are not definitely known, matches are tentatively set for seven tests. P. L.
