MAROON AND GOLD. SENIORS DEFEAT FACULTY IN FIRST GAME OF SEASON Y. W. C. A. 0^- ■ Basketball Season Opens With Victory for '21. Basketball was revived here Saturday night when the Faculty and Seniors clashed in their an nual game. The game was fast and furious, and was interesting despite the one-sided score. The Seniors, aided by the yells and songs of their fair classmates, managed to win by a handsome margin, 18 to 3. The Faculty put up a hard scrap against a heavier and more experienced team, being greatly weakened by the absence of their star players, Coach Corboy, who was out of town, and Professor Myrick, whereabouts unknown. The first half was fast and ended with a score of 6 to 2 in favor of the Seniors. In the sec ond half the Seniors found the pocket for six field goals, while the Faculty scored one point on a foul. Professors Hook, Bab cock, Everette, Cannon, and Lam beth, starred for Faculty, while B. B. Johnson and Newman show ed up best for Seniors. Line-up: Seniors. Position. Faculty. Johnson, H.

The topic for the evening was, “Lopsided Triangle.” The leaders were Misses Minnie Edge and Bessie Holmes, the Scripture lesson be ing chosen from Luke 2:52: ‘“Jesus increased in wisdom, sta ture and knowledge.” The triangle in a college girl’s life has for its base the spiritual side of life, the other sides being mental and physical. Miss Youmans discussed the mental side of the college girl’s life. In this discussion she said that we are so busy with other things that we forget to fill our minds with the proper food. We are not careful enough with our speech and our manners. If we would use our minds in perform ing the daily tasks and try to im prove our conversation w'e would be broad minded. Girls often like to follow the line of least resist ance in college life. They fail to take Math, or some other science because it is hard, and they will have to use their minds. She brought out the point that we are all going to be citizens some day and we should strive to develop our minds so that we will be ca pable of voting, in ai> intelligeH-t,- manner. Then we are careless in our Bible study—we do not use our minds enough. We should learn to be quick in decision, to economize and to be original. To keep down bad habits we must use the mind. To be the best girls mentally we must let our minds rule the body and thereby make our environment better. Miss Wheeler discussed the physical side of the college girl’s life. If we are all right physi cally then the mental and spirit ual side has a firm foundation. She brought out the point tjiat there are some p^ it a disgrace physically fit are danger, kwith the \5i We should each one examine our triangle and strive to build up the weak side. Several other talks were made. One very encouraging talk came from our chairman of the mem bership committee, Miss Corbitt, when she reported every girl in college had joined Y. W. with the exception of three. They have joined since Thursday night. So we have gone “over the top” in getting new members. We are hoping to make this year a red letter year in the history of our college Y. W. C. A. Y. M. C. A. On Thursday evening our Y. M. C. A. was opened for the first time this season. At 7:30 sharp the doors W'ere flung wide and all the old members were present and many new ones with very promis ing faces were to be seen seated in the hall. As the minute came for the opening Mr. Hutchinson, our promising president, called the group to order. Following he read a portion of Scripture from the 13th chapter of I Corinthians, after w'hich W. C. Hook led in prayer. Following this a lively subject, “Friendship,” was discussed by several members of the associa- tio^i. , , ( The first speaker was Rev. W. C. Hook, talking from the Wreck of Friendships. Mr. Hook gave us some helpful suggestions as to how we might overcome these in our Y. M. C. A.. Second on the program was Mr. H. L. Scott, speaking on Culti vating Our Friendship. Mr. Scott always has something good in store for us and what he said was very suggestive and helpful. Next in order was Mr. Lynam. Mr. Lynam spoke on the Limits of Friendship. What he said was very much appreciated indeed. Fourth on the list was W. M. Clem. Mr. Clem spoke on the Reward of Friendship, and gave some very good suggestions tlrat- will surely be helpful to the or ganization. I. O. Houser spoke on the High er Friendships. Mr. Houser’s easy and suggestive style was ap preciated as well as the helpful thoughts he presented. Last on the list was Rev. J. F. McCauley, who spoke on the Triangle. Mr. McCauley’s talk was full of real hope and inspira tion and all present were thrilled with his remarks. After a hymn the meeting was closed by a short prayer from Mr. Houser.'
