Before leaving the campus we sing

like this unfortunate individual,
you haven't been before. If such

Hockey on and off the campus
has been very intoreating of late.
First of all. I’d like to toll you
nbouC the off-the-Mercdlth-campua
and on-tlie-Woman's Colloge-cam-
pus hockey. In November, a group
of ua went to Oreeneboro to a
hockey convention, We played
four gamea, with Wltithrop, W, C.,
Guilford, and Duko aa opponsnta.
At the end of the day tho State
honorary teams were selected.
Now ask me if we aren't proud of
our two tullbacka and our goalie,
roapectlvely, Marjorie Bullock,
Gertrude Foster, and Sarah Pope.
Each one of them mado the second
State honorary team.
There’s also a lot to be aaid
coucemlng our own hockey games.
The Important games have been
played which decided this scaaon's
hockey championship. The class
captains were: Sonior, Sarah
Jfll. However, if you wiah othera,
omore, Eleanor Olbba: treahman,
Elizabeth Brownlee, The raitJ put
a wet blanket on tho games sched
ule but they were floally com
pleted laat Friday. The aeniora
and Juniors played a gamo which
left tho acore 2 to 0 in favor ot
the junlora. The frcahmen lost to
tho aophomoroa with a score of 2
to 0. The seniors also loat to the
aaphomcres, and the juuiors lost
to the frcshmou, also with a 2 to 0
acore. Add, subtract, multiply,
divide, or anything you please,
and the total result Is a cham
pion sophomore team.
A. A. Room Iiupi-oved
Tho A. A. room certainly dooan't
look itself of lato; but it looks a
great deal better. The. old cabinet
iias beea roinoved and replaced
by a larger and bettor looking
cabinet which contains practically
all ot the equipment. There ia a
second covei'ed equipment box In
the form of a window aeat, and
also a cot in tho room. Anyhow,
it surely looks like something to
bo proud ot new.
Speaking now of the future,
many of us are glad to hear tiint
the'second mnjor sport of the
year—baakotball—will start aoon.
The classea will begin pi'acticlng
right after tho holidays.
Perhaps I’m mistaken, but I’vo
II suaplcton that the Associated
Proas reaiilts concerning an ali-

very intoreallng to us, Tho South
