-In A EATON AGAIN EMEHGES AS WINNER A throng of more than 5,000, one of the largest in Co. Tourney history, witnessed the opening game of the annual affair as the Eaton Norsemen sailed down the victory steam when they once again did away with the Center Spartans. The Spartans kept up their noted tradition of always being at their best in a tournament as the Norsemen had quite a time in gaining control of the purple and white team. The Spartans had a habit of coming back every time the Eaton lads built up a sizable lead and kept up this practice until late in the game. They started strong- ly and at the end of the first period looked their best as they battled the Norsemen on even terms at 5 all. From there on, the Norse led at all stopping points, 18 to 12 at the half and 54 to 22 at the end of the third when they staged a twelve-point lead which the Spartans were not able to destroy. Honorable work was done by Reibeling as he scored 10 points fh the last half. Huffman and Smoot also proved valuable since each scored 8 markers. Prewett enabled the Norse to get their offense into working order as he came into the game in the second period. He immediate scored two baskets and added another fielder and two fouls in the final half for 8 points.' Long range shooting done by Monroe for his Spartan team proved to be of great yalue to them since he scored 22 of his team's 52 points. He was the only Center player who was able to shoot regularly over the tall Eaton aerensegg V G F T. ' G F.T.

Tournament the Eaton Norsemen were bumped off by the Selma Bluebirds 52 to 25. It was a harum-sacrum contest as both teams displayed skill ing I 4 hcndling the bell and were adept at defensive action. Selma pos- sessed the better basket eye as the Norsemen Seemed unable to fhw the target amid their long shoot- ing ranges. It was tight through the first three periods although Selma held the lead 5 to 2 at the end of the first stanza and 18 to 9 at the half. The Norse outscored the Bluebirds in a determined third quarter surge by narrowing the count to 20 to 17 at the end of that period. At this point the Bluebirds became shaky in the face of the Eaton drive. Scott led a Selma rally that was launched with the opening of- the final period and the Blue- birds scored 7 points in two minutes and at the same time they held the Norsemen scoreless to take an ll-point lead. That was about the end of it, although the purple and gold gang came back again near the end of the game through the efforts of Roberts who tossed three field baskets in the closing minutes. B. Boggs led the winners with 10 points. Roberts, Reibeling, Smoot, Lewellen, and Huffman all played good ball as a unit for the Eaton squad. Roberts scored 9 points on four field baskets and B foul. This was the best-played game of the tournament with skillful actions displayed by both teams. G F T G F T Chalfant Reibeling Sheward Lewellen P. Boggs Prewett Madlll Roberts B.

This defeat adds up to the Cardinals 55th loss in a row as they were again wiped off the basketball maps ' It was strictly purple and gold all the way through. The Norse jumbed all over the Harri- son boys starting with a 15 to 4 lead in the, first quarter and ending the session with the tab- ulation of 54 to 21. It was merely basket practice for the Norsemen squad as they easily steered their way under the basket for 'lay-ups.' They allowed the Cardinals to receive no more than 7 points ln any quarter. I I The Eaton seconds again came to life as they bagged their game also with the Freshman team fin- ishing up the affair and doing a good job. G.F.T. G.F.T.

Two-hundred streamers were made and sold to the enthusiastic high school and grade 'rooters.' It wasn't unusual to see a student chasing a Senior down the hall in order to purchase a streamer. p The idea of making the stream- ers orginated in Mrs. Eastman's 'brillant' bookkeeping class. After having conceived the idea, the pursuit of the project hbggan, The class members swung into action. Crepe paper was purchased, The lumber yard was called and the sticks were carried ln, The banners rolled off as a result of the assembly line pro- cedure amld the 'piano banging' ln the shopl The banners were appreciated by the students who used them in the county tournament at the Muncie Field House.

We won't embarrass Mr. Gibson by dlvulging the names he wrote on the paper, but we will go so far as to say that he honored his own school by selecting Eaton as one contender for the title. In any event, Mr. Hall won the bet, and Mr. Gibson's dollar. Clnci- dentally, she hasn't received the coke yet.I NORSEMEN SPORTS ACTIVITIES EATON BLACKSOUT On Friday, 'December 16 Eaton basketball squad the ice and snow in order to to Redkey to play a game with the wolves. It was a rough and hard played game as well as s fast one as the Eaton crew tangled with the Red- key five. However, the Norse brought home a victory with the score standing at 55 to 26. The wolves willing but inept performers were unable to keep up the pace with the Norse as they were behind at the close of the half 17 to 15. From this point the Wolves gradually gained and came within one point of' the Norsemen. Then the Norse broke loose and ran the score up 15 points and Redkey never was able to threaten seriously again. . There was much fouling! Red- key had three men with four fouls and Eaton had four men with four fouls when the game finished. Our second team squad lost to the Redkey 'B' team 19 to 14. G F.T.

The Norsemen showed their greatest power in the first quar- ter when the Tigers were permit- ted to gain only a two-point margin with the score standing 7 to 5.

Eaton had the better of it through the continuation of the g8.lI1eo Coach Hall, by continually substituting, employed reserves after the first quarter to give all players a chance in the scor- ing. It was a smoothly-played game with no one going out of the game via the personal foul route. The Spartans were mediocre in fast and shlfty plays in comparison to their 45-44 squad and were unable to put the anchor on the Norsemen who sailed calmly through the af- fair. Monroe got 14 points for the host club, Dave Riebellng scored 11 and Lewellen 10 for the win- ners. Seven Eaton players broke into the scoring. The second team game was won by Center 24 to 19.

' A testing cycle which covers accuracy and speed is in progres . A WBig Ten' chart records the high ten speeds in the class following each speed test. These speed tests are alternated with accuracy tests which are recorded daily on a 'Bull's Eye Chart.' If no errors are made an arrow with the student's name on it is placed in the center circle. If one error is made, the arrow is placed in the first Wcircleg if two are made, the arrow is placed in the second circle. More than two errors places the student's arrow in the field. , On the side bulletin board is a theromemeter for each student. As speed increases the Wredn mer- cury of the theromemeter rises. In this manner the up to date record of one's best speed is kept. Interest in the charts has been high and they make the oth- erwise monotonous testing seem somewhat intreging as students watch their individual daily progress. The importance Of the type- writer to the army is unques- tioned. It is used in such types of army work as preparation of correspondence, bulletins, memo- randa, circulars, general orders, special orders, various forms, and many other miscellaneous military matters. However, accuracy is absolutely necessary in this work. There is but one standard for the work. It must be correct! Students who have learned the touch system of typing in high school have been aided in many ways in both civilian and mili- tary roles.

In the field of biology and physics there are many educa- tional films available. While studying the unit of mammals in biology, we saw films showing how elephants are train- ed, the habits of the badger and gray squirrel, and reproduction of the rabbit from the time of the fertilization of the egg une' til the birth of the young rabbit, During these war days when travee ling is llmlted, we were able to enjoy a visit to the zoo in New York City, where we met many of the strange animals of the world. A colored film on the nesting and 'feeding habits of the ruby'Uuuat- ed humming bird was very instruc- tive-and interesting. I By movie, the physics class has visited the Eastman Kodak Company in Rochester, New York. There we saw the processes used in making films, cameras, and photographic paper, The inside workings of valves pistons, and ejeoters of Diesel engines have become more real to us whem visulized on the screen. Recently we traveled to Alaska with Lowell Thomas and Father Hubbard, the Glacier Priest, and with them visited the blrthplaces of 1ce4 bergs.
