THE SPECTATOR '9 School, now attending college, and a team of High School boys. The game was well attended by partisans of the High School, and was intensely interesting and exciting. Baskets were made alternately, and when the game ended the score stood 14-13 in favor of High School. The two teams lined up as follows : High School—Jones and H. Replogle, forwards; Cohoe and Hager, guards and Lindsey, center; Alumni—R. Replogle and Henderson, forwards ; Entwisle and Zimmerman, guards, and R. Hays, center. In the second half Sell and John Lindsey were substituted for Jones and H. Replogle. With the prospects for a good basketball team so fine, why not arrange for games with the Quakers ? Surely their victory over us in football is not sufficient to rest on. Any- way, during the past five years they have only 10 points against our 27. Such a series of games would doubtless prove a great success both in general interest and financially. We could also arrange games with Kiski and Indiana Normal, and make basketball as great a feature as football has been. As stated in the last month’s Spectator, the entire appa- ratus of the old J. A. C. gymnasium has been turned over to High School on payment of the small rental of one dollar per month. When our two basement gymnasiums are fitted up, all the students, both girls and boys, will have within reach the benefits to be derived from steady gymnasium work. A new system has been inaugurated whereby only mem- bers of the Athletic Association can have the use of the gym- nasium. Cards will be given to members who have paid their dues up to date, upon which Treasurer Dibert will sign his name entitling them to the use of the apparatus. By this system all dues will be paid regularly, and those members of the Association who do not indulge in track athletics, football, etc., will have more than their money’s worth out of the gymnasium. Let us see to it that none of the rowdy spirit enters into the gymnasium, such as has occasionally cropped out in the past. Let us show our appreciation of the Library Association’s gift by using it in the proper manner. Wear gymnasium slippers when upon the floor, and do not spend your surplus energy in tearing up our new outfit. E. C., ’04. The Senior boys suddenly found that their feet were wet one morning. Who covered the legs of the piano ?

THE SPECTATOR 18 “David Preston, Attorney,” in the Mirror (Central High School, Philadelphia), is an exceedingly well written story with a good plot. We congratulate the Mirror upon its excel- lent exchange column. It is truly as interesting as any story, and far surpasses in this line the dull exchanges of some other papers, whose only object seems to be to ac- knowledge the receipt of exchanges. Some papers still fail to see the benefit of an exchange column. With due appreciation of all other exchanges received, we regret that we cannot mention the interesting or weak points of all. We notice the photographs of many of the school foot-ball teams as supplements in their December issues. Have a look at them, High School, and see whether you would like to try a game with them next fall. H. B., ’04. Athletic. in High School TITfl ITH the f°otba11 season a thing of the past, we can now turn all our attention and surplus energy to indoor winter sports, basketball especially. As regards the general interest which High School takes in this sport, it stands second only to football. ! Although track athletics and baseball received quite an impetus last spring—relay racing in the Carlisle Interscholastic Meet, and base- ball in which we unmercifully snowed the Quakers under—football and basketball still stand preeminent in the list of High School athletics. From present indications there is reason to believe that this year we will have a record-breaking basketball team, even better than the one which won the Johns- town Basketball League trophy, which now adorns the study-hall. During the recent vacation was played what might be called the first official game of the season. This game, which was played in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, took place between a team composed of ex-members of High
