goalie, Fairfax Crow.
The game was played in fifteen
minute halves with only two time
outs. In the first few minutes of
the game the Mu’s scrambled for
their first score. Near the end of
the first half the Sigma’s scored to
tie the game. The half time proved
to bo quite colorful as the cheer
leaders took the spotlight. They
took turns cheering and singing for
the entire six minutes of the half
time.
The second half started off with
a bang. Both teams were hustling
to make the leading score, and the
game became rough but quick.
Again the breaks fell to the Mu’s,
and they scored twice more in the
second half.

Dr. Swain Speaks,
Compares Bibles
Dr. ,1. Carter Swain sj)oko to the
St. Alary’s student body in assem
bly on November 3. Air. Hughes
introduced the speaker who spoke
on the Revised Standard ATrsion of
the Bible.
Dr. Swain aroused the interest of
the audience at the beginning of
his speech in an amusing way by
saying that “the way to stay young
is to associate with young people
and the way to die young is to
try to keep up with them.”
He coin{)ared the new version of
the Bible to the many older transla-
tions but he concluded in saying
that the best translation is the one
an individual makes for himself.
Previous to visiting Spain she
toured London, Amsterdam, Paris,
Milan, Zurich, Venice, Naples,
Florence, and Rome.
