On January 18 Eastern dropped its fourth straight game to Western to the tune of 49-8. Western completely out- classed us, passing and shooting at will. Western's defense was also good, the Eastern team scoring but two baskets from the floor. Peine, Smith and Sar- gent starred for Western, while Steltz and Cummings looked good for Easter.

Our first win of the year came on Jan- uary 19, when we handed Gonzaga a 22-17 beating. True, the game was only a practice one, but it broke the monoto- uy of losing, and gave the team a little confidence. Baldwin scored six baskets from the floor. Capt. McGlasson, Cum- mings, Baldwin, Steltz, English, and Boteler were the players who got in the game for Eastern. On January 21 the team went to Ma- nassas, Virginia, and played the Eastern College team of that place, The score was 38-8 in favor of Manassas. The game was the roughest of the year, from Eastern’s standpoint. The line-up for Eastern was: Steltz, C.; McGlasson, R.F.; Baldwin, L Cummings, R.G.; English, Boteler, L.G.

Basketball The basketball season is now in full swing. As yet, Eastern has won only one game, but the members of the team are not discouraged and are working all the harder in order to improve their team work. Practice games have been played with Gallaudet, Alexandria High School, Episcopal High School, and Manassas, while in the Interscholastic League the team has met St. Albans, Business, Central and Western. The team is gradually improving with each game and in February should be greatly strengthened by the addition of several players, namely, Blake, Tomlin and Thomas. In the first game of the year, Gallau- det won easily by a score of something like 52 to 18. McGlasson, Barr, Boteler, McAuliffe, Swem, Baldwin, Cummings, and Saegart were the Eastern fellows who got in this game, and they showed plainly the lack of practice. In the opening game of the Interscho- lastic League Eastern was defeated by St. Albans by a score of 42-10. The slippery condition of the floor caused the players to have an uncertain footing, and consequently the game progressed rather slowly. As this was the first time the members of our team had played on such a slippery floor they were quite handicapped. Captain McGlasson did most of Eastern’s scoring, securing 7 of the 10 points. The line-up: Eastern Position St. Albans McGlasson (Capt.)..L.F......... Loker Baldwin, Saegart..R.P........- Stubbs Steltz, Swem....--- Cc Castle Cummings. ...--.R.G. Hauser Boteler...---+-- MAC Gacteno Carter In our second game, with Business, Eastern was again defeated, this time by a score of 44-13. Our team played much better than it did in the first con- test, McGlasson, Cummings, Barr, and Roteler producing a good passing game. Culligan was the STAR of the game, he alone getting 28 points for his team. The line-up: Eastern Pos. Business McGlasson...-...-- Bee Culligan Cummings, Baldwin. R.F......B. Wise Swem.

Although this was a victory for Central by a score of 22 to 13, it was not until after a close struggle that Cen- tral was able to register enough goals to win. Eastern played a good defen- sive game, guarding Central very close-

20 WEATHER: after six weeks VotuME XIX Che Srare Head All anonymous contributions thankfully received PERSONALS Barr says they won't disqualify him for studying, anyway. No, we don’t believe in Municipal Games on the 4th of July. They hurt our teams too much. Well, the basket ball team won a game at last. We sure wish Gon- zaga was in the League. An Eastern alumnus was aboard the Ford Peace Ship when it sailed. We hope he’s played a clean square game, and hasn't plugged anybody in the dark with a young cannon. Newspaper Headline: “Detective Chief Resigns After Being Criti- cised.” If they did that over here we wouldn't have any faculty. Everytime we look at Sam Hardy's feet we think of that beau- tiful old hymn, “How firm a foun- dation.” At last they gave us a REAL substitute in English. Which re- minds us of the following: Gates: “Boteler studies his English since the substitute showed up.” Barkman: “Dewey?” Gates: “Yeh. He do.” Doc Williams says he wishes it would hurry up and get warm | again. Business is Business! THE EASTERNER Prospects bright, but will probably grow cloudy “BEWARE OF FALSE PROPHETS OVER 500 STUDEN] Many New Pupils Enter Eastern Witho sult from the crowded conditions) Nobody was killed and only a very few were hurt in any way when over seventy new pupils en- tered Eastern last week. Owing to the crowded conditions in the class rooms and corridors it was feared that bombs might be placed in some inconspicuous places, but such did not prove to be the case. It was also feared that some sort of an up- | rising among the students might re- and the Faculty Riot Corps, headed by Mr. Wallis and Miss Schwartz, stood ready to suppress any mutin- ous disorder. Such did not prove to be the case, however. The only casualties reported were thise caused by several reckless pu- pils being torpedoed by Matinee- day exams. It is said that this tor- pedoing would probably not have
