Girls' Basketball Girls' basketball of this year, has proven a grand success. So far six games have been played, there being two more to follow. Under the train- ing of Miss Hagley and Miss Frick, the girls have derf-loried some fine team work. The standing of teams on May 27 is as follows: Lost Won Percent Crimson ........ 1 5 .830 Purple --- --- 3 3 .500 Green .......... 4 2 .333 Orange ........ 4 2 .333 From this standing, it is thought that the Crimsons will finish in the lead. The girls wish to extend their thanks to Miss Hagley and Miss Frick for their kindness to them during the season. They hope that these teach- ers Will coach them next year. Don't forget to look at the bulletin for the winners' pictures. Baseball Tech baseball, when compared with that of last year, has been very suc- cessful. Last year Tech did not secure a single victory, but this year four games were lost and four Won. A great deal of the credit may be given to Mr. Sanders who managed the team. The players played well in all games, and the pitching was a great im- provement over last year's twirling. Gallahue in particular pitched Well. Francis Wilson, captain of the team, also played a very good game at third. Butler. Harris, Kimmick, and Heit- kam played Well too. Here's hoping some of these players make the mono- gram team. Basket Ball 1 For the first time basket-ball at Tech', turned out very successfully from a basket-ball standpoint. Not only were the players and fans satis- hed, but the earnings of basket-ball left over thirty-five dollars in the athletic coffers. The reds won the pennant, largely through the work of their star,Butler. For a few games he could not play,and the Reds, as a result made a miserable showing. The race was tight, and the Reds were forced to go at a fast pace to keep down the Blacks and Greens. The Blues and Grays played well at times, but they often had slumps. The monogram games proved a suc- cess, and brought most of the money to the athletic fund. The Blacks Won this series from the Whites, taking two straight games. Fehr, Butler, and Nutt of the Blacks, and Ray of the Whites received M. T's. As a Whole the year proved to be successful for the players The faculty also developed a team of Which Tech is proud. Besides humbling the Reds, our Faculty team defeated the Faculty team from Man- ual. This game with Manual was played during the time the monogram games were staged. The fans also declared the year at basket-ball had proved a success. Every night there Were games many boys and girls stayed after school to Witness them. Almost all the school stayed to see the monogram games. The money received from the mono- gram games also gave Tech a start on a much needed athletic fund. So for the first year at basket-ball, Tech has made an excellent start.

THE ARSENAL CANNGN 9 Campus at Noon fConti'nued from page four-D pils go to their favorite places, and ev- ery day you find just about the same people in the same places. Mr. Jay has put tables on the east porch of the lunch room and a good many of the boys seem to like this place better than any other. They have a nice time, to all appearances as they sit there in the shade eating ice cream. Another place where the boys con- gregate during the lunch hour is un- der the large old maple tree fthe one Where the box is.J This bunch is very active, for they are always running, jumping, wrestling or sometimes kill- ing snakes. They Gnd great sport in stepping quickly behind some innocent looking fellow and suddenly, without the slightest provocation, knocking him over. Great sport! The smaller boys who stay there are Est fights there are always interested specta- tors, and foremost among those in- terested is Harry Brown. He may be seen almost any time during the noon hour teling some small freshie to go to it or something of the sort. The girls almost all have some nice grassy spot to which they go every day. Lois Stone and Bertha Ruby may be seen every day sitting on the west residence steps, both talking ex- citedly, probably about the paper. Fay Douglas, Juanita Kendrick, Genevieve Anthony and Martha Hufi' are four girls who are almost constantly to- gether. If you will look for them at the noon hour, you will find them about half way down the north walk. Several freshies occupy the west steps of the old office building daily. Macy McGowan is always here, and at any time that you happen to pass, you can hear her urging the fresh- man girls on to victory. She is, by the way, talking about basket-ball. As everyone knows, Newell Hall is the bane of every girl's existance and he eats his lunch upstairs in room B solely for the purpose of dropping chalk down upon the unsuspecting heads of the girls who pass under- neath the window, Newell is so small, but so full of mischief, that it seems strange that the girls have not formed a union of some kind, having as the height of their ambition the abolition of Newell Hall. The archway is always crowded with boys who have great times. Some of this bunch are Newell Jen- fCont'inued on page fourteemj The Difficulties of a Geometry Test The tardy bell rings and Miss Hagley gets up from her seat at her desk and hands out papers across the front of the room and says, Pass the paper back. Everyone digs their head in their book to look at the last proposition. Finally the papers are all out and Miss Hagley says, Books closed. There is a closing and push- ing aside of geomtrys and a general search for pens and ink wells. Fin- ally, the room becomes quiet as Miss Hagley is writing out this or that question and all over the room you can see one or the other various pupils staring blankly at his neighbor as though it was the fifteenth problem on page one hundred and eleven. The propositions are well under way when a late pupil to Mr. Mills' algebra class bangs the hall door be- hind him and saunters noisily across the room banging the second door be- hind him. The class then settles down after the disturbance. X minus two equals what, Helen? is heard from Mr. Anderson's algebra class in the next room. Then Mr. Anderson goes on with the explanation of the day's work. How can that test be worked with all that noise? There is some one started at that piano now banging away at the latest popular music while loud voices are heard, then all is quiet while Mr. An- derson's melodious voice is heard trip - piano accom- again, Come Fairies sounds loud with the paniment and the idea of the propo- sition goes Heating off somewhere in mid air as Mr. Montani's voice in loud tones calls the class to order. Again the class digs to work on the problem and decides to master the problem. There is a loud crash in the hall and a chorus of voices laugh out. There is silence for a moment and a general out break and Mr. Montani's voice above it in angry tones mingle with Mr. Anderson explaining a problem in the next room. Everyone raises up from their work chews the end of their pen and their brows are knit in frowns. Then there is a pushing of chairs in the hall and the loud voices grow dim. All heads are applied to the work fContinucd on page eighteenj

THE ARSENAL CANNON 11 S ii fffffffffffmiyyyyigk ,. i A Rainy Day Scramble When the matter had finally been straightened out, Mary solemnly de- clared, Well, after this mixup, girls, my wits feel like scrambled eggs. You never saw three girls less alike in appearance, though they echoed Maryls words with feeling. Mary's hair is very brown, and lrer eyes brown, toog eyes that Wheedle their way out of any difiiculty. So naturally the other two depended on her, though she generally started the trouble. Funny and heedless, sober Susanne was more to be de- pended upon. Her hair she coaxed to stay gold, cultivated her eyelash- es, and worried days over a freckle. Perhaps that was the reason Su- sanne was never to be depended upon, because a pensive expression produces a dreamy mind. But Anne was the Hower of the flock. Such hair and such an imagination. Hair, as red as fire curled and shone on Anne's head, and vivid tales came continually from inside. The other two lost themselves completely while listening to her stories, and watched her in admiration. She was proud of her hair, and her way of illustra- ing' exciting parts. Pretty, winning, fascinating, these girls didn't have a level head among them. Last Week when the rain poured and sprinkled and drizzled, then poured again, Anne started a new story in the cloakroom, and put on her wraps at the same time, thus starting complications. Preoccupied, but still generous, Mary fished out what she thought was her umbrella from those piled in the corner and one just like the one she had left the day before for Susanne.

His first games had been discouraging but his persistency had shown itself He was competing in the semi-finals with, whom everybody proclaimed, the strongest competitor in the tourna- ment. Nor was this fact disproven when to his extreme surprise and dis- appointment he was badly beaten 6-love in three sets. The outlook was indeed discouraging. Were it not for the ever appearing streak of per- sistency in Jeff, he would certainly have given up. His small but wise brother urged him not to be despondent. As they were passing through the back gate which led to the chicken yard, Joe spied a large overgrown Rhode Island Red rooster fighting with Jumbo, the little game, After the fight was over, he compared Jeff's game with the cock fight. He said, Now Jeff that rooster fight reminds me to the dot of your game of tennis. That there old Rhodey was a lot better fighter than our Jumbo 'cause I saw him put it all over Mack's prize fighter once, so also was that feller beatin' you. Although you lost your game, Jumbo Won his, he had his losses and your gains. He lost a lot of good feathers and so forth, but now here's what you gained. You don't believe you gained anything, but let me tell you something, flrst, you know your man better now and you'll soon catch on to his serve, and second, you'll learn to place your shots more carefully. Now I noticed little gamey there and how he Won his fight. If roosters have such a thing as science, I'd say fC07lff7L?l6d on page thirteenj
