Staging a great comeback in their
last two games, the Co-ed basketball
sextet performed what was considered
by many as impossible, and finishe<
with two wins.in a row. This put then
in a tie with both the Columbia Higi
School and Columbia College for sec
ond, third, and fourth positions in the
city league which closed Thursday
afternoon.
Chicora, as was expected, romped
away to another title with comparative
ease, defeating every team on the sche
dule by an. overwhelming score. T<
the co-eds, however, must go the honor
of holding the champions to their
closest' margin of victory.
Starting off with a loss in a hard
fought game to Columbia College, and
then proceeding to lose to Columbia
High once and Chicora twice, making
four losses in succession, the pullets
finally came into their own. They
scored impressive wins over Columbia
College, 19-16; and Columbia Higi
17-7, to make them the sensation of th<
leagues closing games.

With the natural abandon of true art

not unnatural; all the elements of

With one hand she held a hat, a

Shaving in class was indulged in by
two University of California boys re
cently. This was inspired by the
boldness of the co-eds in powdering
their faces and performing other boud
oir privacies.
The boys appeared with shaving
equipment and during the lecture pro
ceeded to lather and shave their faces.
Professor Cross led the applause anl
announced that a grade of "A" would
be given each youth for the term if
they would disclose their names as he
could not, recognize them under the
lather.

On the rolling plains of South Schenectady, in
several scattered buildings, is a vast laboratory for
studying radio broadcastingi prolems. Gathered
here are many kinds and sizestransmitters, from
the short-wave and low-power sets to the giant
super-power unit with a 50s to 25Q-kilowatt voice.
Super-power and simultaneous broadcasting on
several waye lengths from the same station are
among the startling later-day developments in
radio. And even with hundreds of broadcasting
stations daily on the air throughout the land, these
latest developments stand for still better service
to millions of listeners.
Only five years old, yet radio broadeatigg has
developed from a laboratory experimet a
mighty industry. And alert, keen y
reaped the rewards.
But history repeats itself. Other electrical develop
ments will continue to appear. And it will be the
college man, with broad vision and trained mind,
who will be ready to serve and succeed.
