10 The Scarlet and Gray with Max Ried as Left Forward while Stanton took his place as center with Ray Birchfield and William Perceval Jones as guards. When they reached the Gym. the audience was yelling Rah! Rah! Rah! Perceval! Perceval! Perceval!” Perceval had just fallen all over the ball and made the first basket for Burgeston while Carlton had made two. In another instant one of the Carlton boys had made a foul and Jack threw for the basket and made it. This made Carlton only one point a head; they won the next toss and closed it with shooting a basket. The Carlton rooters were frantic now and the re- feree’s whistle could hardly be heard above their yells while the Burgeston rooters wore long faces. Another tcss of the ball and again it fell to Carlton forward who made a clean basket. Just then the time keeper yelled time out. Sue almost frantic could not get Jack’s attention; when at last she did there just time enough to say ‘‘change your signals.” Jack wondering why Sue would tell him to change signals did so. The score at end of first half was 8 to 3 in favor of Carlton. With the first toss of the second half Wallie sent the ball flying over the Carlton center’s head into Max’s hand who started to throw it in William Perceval’s directon but turned on his heel and threw for a basket. It rolled on the rim of the basket for a second and then went in. A rah went up for Max. The score was now 8 to 5. The next five minutes of rlay was exciting for Carlton threw for two baskets but made neither. Then Wallie went into the game as though his life depended on it. He received the ball from Ray and down the hall it went first to Perceval then to Ray and back it came with a rush and then he tried for a basket but missed; he gain- ed possession of ball and threw again for the basket, this time making it. The score now was only 8 to 7 in favor of Carlton. Jack knew by this time Sue had reasons for giving him that news. No sooner than had they made the last basket but Carlton fouled on Reid who threw for the basket and made it. Again Wallie Stanton sent the ball flying near Jack who made a clean basket. A Carlton fellow then got the ball and threw it to another one who missed it and let Ray get it. He threw it to Max who made another basket. All other sounds were drowned by the yells that went up; the score was 12 to 8 in favor of Burgeston. One more minute to play and four points ahead. The Carlton forward shot for the bas- ket but missed. The ball then passed to Ray who threw it to Jack. He threw for basket and made it. A Carlton boy got the ball, but just then the time keeper yelled time out. The girls gave a yell and Jack came over to Sue who showed him that piece of paper. He called the rest of the boys over and they all tried to think how the Carlton Capt. could have possesed it. “Swim on little fishes, too deep for me”, said Wallie. “Well it’s not for me, ” said Perceval “I have an inspiration.” “It’s a wonder” said Wallie, and then Perceval told them he had seen Jake give the Carlton Capt. a little piece of paper at noon. “Come to think about it, that does look like Jake’s writing,” said Wallie. “Wait a minute, I have a note in my skirt pocket 1 got from Jake today” said Sue and she tore a piece from it containing two or three words and with careful looking they decided that both had oeen written by the same hand. “I will see him after I dress” said Jack. “We girl» will wait on you and then we are all going down to my house and play the Vic.” “I always did like victrolas” said Wallie. The boys left and the girls started for the reading room to wait for them. In about ten minutes they were on their way to Sue’s home and Jake Wells was with them. When they ar- rived there Jack took him away from the rest and told him all. Jake owned (Continued Page 14)

Fine words and an insinuating appear- ance are seldom accociated with true virtue. He who aims to be a man of complete virtue, in his food does not seek to gratify, nor in his dwelling place does he seek the appliances of ease, he is earnest in what he is doing, and care- ful in his speech, he frequents the company of men of principle that he may be rectified; such a person may be said indeed to love to learn. If a man keeps cherishing his odd knowledge, so as continually to be ac- quiring new, he may be a teacher of others. Learning without thought is labour lost, thought without learning is peril- ous. It is only the (truly) virtuous man, who can love, or who can hate others. A scholar, whose mind is set on truth and who is ashamed of bad clothes and bad focd, is not flit to be discours- ed with. The superior man, in the world, does not set his mind either for anything or against anything; what is right he will follow. A man should say, I am not concern- ed that I have no place, I am concern- ed how I may fit myself for one, I am not concerned that I am not known, I seek to be worthy to be known. When we see men of worth, we should think of equaling them; when we see men of a contrary character, we should turn inwards and examine ourselves. In serving his parents, a son may re- monstrate with them, but gently; when he sees that they do not incline to fol- low his advice, he shows an increased degree of reverence, but does not abandon h s purpose; and should they punish him he does not allow himself to murmur. While his parents are alive, the son may not go abroad o a distance. If he does go abroad, he must have a fixed place to which he goes.
