VAUGHAN ELECTED
BASKETBALL CAPTAIN.
At a recent meeting of the
letter men, George M. (Josh)
Vaughan was elected captain of
the 1921' bpsketball team. The
team cotld, with difficulty have
chosen a better man than Josh.
He is one of~the best players In
the steel-ring game at the Uni
versity and- a capable leader.
When in the game, Vaughan
plays with a vim unequaled by
any of the other meinbers of the
team. He has played on the
varsity two years and in him
next season's quintet has an ex
cellent leader.
. THE ONCE OVVR.
If Football Games. . were
"Thrown." First Period.
Jones passed the ball so slow
ly you could read the label on
the pigskin. Brown failed to
note the signals given by his
quarterback, but got the,signa-ls
given by the big.gamblers in the
cheering section. He dropped
the ball and ran back 50 ya'rds
for a certified checiki. Smith
made a catch of the fumbled pig.
skin, but deliberat,ely threw his
ankle. This is a difflcult trick,
but when well done never failst
to fool the paid admisaions. He
dropped on the field and timne
was called while he was worked
over. "'Think of my wife' and
child!I" he eonatantJy exclaimned
as he was carried to the college
infirmary. After arriving there
he insisted upon being taken to
a suunicipal hospital. "The pil
lows there are larger and hold
more money," he, explained
later. --
Grogan took the pillow.. ,.
beg pardon .. ... took th.e bell
next plty and ran 65
yards or a touchdown. It later
deve opsd that he had not been
rdadbed' by the gambling ring.
BrdWn was called upon to kick
the goal, but purposely booted
the ball 40 feet offside and left
fot the bank..
Second Period.'
On a"fake taciles back, pay
masters forward play ii which
tlhe hidden checkbook trick was
resorted to. Noodles, was
thrown for a loss of ten yards,
but a gain of at least $5,000. On
the next play he took the ball
again, but was kicked in the
chin and neck in the scrimmage
and knocked out. Grand jury
testimony will show he was
kicked by two of his own men.
The kick .brought $10,000'and
will be split three ways by the
victim and'the kickers.
The opposing team then got
the ball and, ran off 12 touch
downs, the home players being
too busy figuring up the day's
profits to do any tackling.
Third Period.
The 'home coeches sent the
team mascot, a white bulldog,
out on to the field to arouse the
men to a rally, but. the pup
staggered half way across the
field and dropped dead in his
tracks. A postmortem showed
he had been "doped" in the pad
dock by gambling intereste.
Fourth Period.
About this time the suspicions
of the crowd were aroused by
dissovery that the home team
cheer leaders hadn't turned a
single hand-spring, broken a sol
itary standing high jump record
or given the slightest indicati6n
of being" cuckooed from the neck
north. Their megaphorres were
later found filled with currency.
A summary of the game would
show that the visitors outplayed
the home team in all the basic
principles of football, but that
the home eleven had it on them
in point of high finance. Their
skill in protecting a player run
ning with'tly wad was particu
larly good, as was their handling
of forward,'backward and side
wise paspes of bills of large de
nominations.--The State.
Geniuses desire solitude, but
all desirers oI solitude are not
geniuses,
4here is always the danger of
the machinery conti-olling those
whom it was set up to serve.
We, are not educated in any
manner, narrow or broad, until
we have learned to control the
instinct of domination.

What Is Air?
EFORE 1894 every chemist thought he knew
what air is. "A mechanical mixture of moisture.
nitrogen and oxygen, with traces of hydrogen
and carbon dioxide, " he would explain. There was so
much oxygen and nitrogen in a given sample that he
simply detgnined the amount of oxygen preset and
assumed th t i.st to be nitrogen.
