THE INTELLECTUAL VALUE OF ATHLETICS.
We speak of the values of athletics in our schools of today under two main types. There is a moral valne of athletics balanced by an intellect- ual valne. How many of us fully realize how the various athletics are really a great asset toward the bet- terment of the intellect. Let us take for example any one of the basket ball, baseball. or football games. Every player in that game must be alert and he must be able to attack any situation which might appear, he must be able to use his ingenuity on the spur of the moment and in this way each player
soon becomes trained and can respond to the im- mediate situation.
Then again in any game of ath- letics is developed that important motive of teamwork which is so often brought forth in our life work. In any of our games of sport we see that without the cooperation of all of the players the game is lost and to win they must all work as one or have as we call it, teamwork. This motive of teamwork so often is Ineeded in our everyday life and it athletics. Thus we see how these different school sports are of such great importance in training the in- tellectual mind .- Dallas John, '26. -The Snapper, Millersville State Normal School, Millersville.

"I have such silvery shining leaves." said Mistress Silver Maple to Mistress Pine. "They rustle like silk when the wind blows. Listen to them! Don't you often wish your leaves were like mine, instead of old green prickly points?"
Mistress Pine was so mortified she could find no words with which to answer the question. She felt so dis- couraged.
At the approach of the cold weath- er. Mistress Silver Maple i'mem- bered it would soon be time to take off her fine dress. She also thought of the catty remark she had made to Mistress Pine. and blushed so vio- lently her leaves turned a deen red. Winter finally arrived. Mistress Maple was ugly and bare. A little boy stood admiring Mistress Pine.
"Can he be looking at ugly me?" inquired Mistress Pinc. The boy understood the little pine's thoughts and said aloud. "Mis- tress Pine, you are beautiful and green the whole year through. In the snow you stand so straight and majestic. You are the sentinel of the trees, but above all. you are the symbol of Christmas. the happiest time of the year."
Mistress Pine felt very humble and happy. She also had in her heart a charitable feeling toward the lone- ly, sleeping Mistress Maple Tree. Moral: Don't boast, for others have virtues too.

ATHLETICS.
Normal Crushes Maryland Law.
January 8th found the Normalites in real trim, the men's team being bolstered up with the addition of 2 of last year's players. Maryland Law School was indeed unfortunate to meet us that night, for the team, led by the wonderful shooting of Miller and Durry, played with perfect co- ordination. The fourth quarter found us so far in the lead that Coach Callowhill sent in the entire second team, who nobly kept the visitors at bay. The final whistle found Normal leading 53-30.
Hail Coach Flater!
"Licker," with his fine Westminster five. came back. saw and conquered on the night of January 22nd. With a fine sense of ingratitude, Sir Flater, "last year's captain of the Normal quintet, returned to his Alma Mater to decisively beat the team, drilled by his old coach, Mr. Callowhill, to the tune of 26 to 19.
After the end of the first quarter, when Normal led 6-5, Westminster quickly went to the fore, and stayed there. Coach Callowhill's numerous changes to seek a successful combi- nation meant nothing to the closely guarding Westminster cagers, and the game went to the visiting "prep" team.
Charlotte Hall Downed.
Normal School returned to its real form on the night of January 30, when it soundly trounced the quintet representing Charlotte Hall, to the tune of 40 to 28. After the first couple minutes of the game, the Nor- mal basketeers jumped into a lead which they never relinquished. With the end of the game six minutes away, Coach Callowhill ran in the entire second string, who held the visitors very creditably for the re- mainder of the game.
Normal Bows To Poly.
A game which belied the final score of 48-20 was participated in by Nor- mal and Poly on our home floor Feb- ruary 3rd. For three quarters, the game was a rip-roaring, slam-banging affair with Normal School never out of sight of the lead.
In the fourth quarter, the superior | precious class numerals. Miss Lena height and weight of the visitors Reilly, the doughty winner of the |the Normal Society.
finally conquered over the grit and gameness of the Normal cagers, and the Poly team got away to a long string of baskets that put the game on ice for the visitors.
The stellar work of Hergeuroeder and Passarew sparkled for the Poly attack.
Normal Boys And Girls Both Lose.
The Normal teams made a pleasant visit to Westminster, but were rudely received when their opponents, West- ern Maryland College Girls and West- minster High boys galloped away with both games.
The girls played gamely, holding their opponents to the score of 16-15 at the end of the half, by the indi- Girls Lose First Game. vidual efforts of the tall Wilson, op- The Normal sextette, playing their first game of the season January 14th, lost to the . more experienced Eastern High team. The wonderful playing of the visiting guards proved too much for our game forwards. while the Eastern forwards were able to slip past our guards a few times too many. Half time found the two teams separated by a few points, but the visiting players forged ahead in the second half and were never posing forward, who garnered all her team's thirty-one points, which were too much for the Normal lasses. This remarkable player made eight field goals and was successful in fifteen tries out of seventeen foul shots. The final score read 31 to 24. The boys bowed for the second time to Westminster Higb, this time to the score of 21 to 18. The team. which was hampered by the absence of Mahaney and Garfinkle, played a headed. The final score was 25 to strong game, even though unfamiliar 15.
playing combinations were used. The strength of the reserve force. which was so well brought out by this close game, is a strong indication that the team has about now become a well-rounded team, one to be feared because of its possibilities.

OUR ATHLETIC HEROES.
Last month one of our assemblies was completely devoted to the recog- nition of Normal's representatives on the athletic field. On this day of days athletic letters and numerals were given to those whom Normal delighted to honor.
President Hilgonberg of the Ath- letic Association first made a speech introducing Miss Tall. Miss Tall made a fine speech of recognition of Normal's athletes and then the most important part of the program, that of awarding letters and numerals, came.
The Girls' Varsity Hockey Team [was the first to be honored with its "N's" and they certainly were given a fine reception. Next came the award of letters to the Boys' Varsity Soccer Team which was also given a generous round of applause.
Hockey Tournament, Senior 12. in the senior division and Junior 14 in the junior division, were recognized with the award of their respective class numerals. The boys' Senior Soccer Team, victorious over the Juniors, were then given their
Girls' Tennis Tournament, was greet- ed with cheers as she came forth to receive her athletic reward.

Fracture Frostburg's Feelings!
THE FAITHFUL FOUR.
( A true Story ) -
"We're going to be Normals," de- clared Ann and "Shorty."
"We're going to be Pents," re- turned Ellen and "Rennie."
The scene was the campus of Nor- mal School last year. The char- acters were four close friends all from the same small town out in the county. All had eagerly anticipated the Pest-Normal Contests, about which they had all heard so much be- fore coming to Normal. Already, for various reasons. they had lean- ings toward the two societies.
The four friends laughingly sepa- rated as the bell rang for the begin- ning of classes. Ann and "Shorty," in one section, went to their class- room and Ellen and "Rennie," in another section, went to a different classroom.
One day, shortly after this, all of the Normal School students filed in- to Assembly, being seated by sec- tions. Ann and "Shorty" were thunderstruck as the purpose of the Assembly was told them. This was the day on which the new students were to elect either the "Pest" or "Normal" Literary Society as the or- ganization to which they would be- long!
The undercurrent of thoughts in all four girls had been to choose one society, so that they could all be to- gether. Here they were, divided in- to two groups, too far apart in the Auditorium to hold any consultation.
Ann looked at "Shorty" and brave- ly said, "We have lost whatever chance we had of persuading Ellen and "Rennie" to become "Normals" with us, so in order to keep together. let's join the "Pests."
"Shorty" slowly nodded her head and the two loyal girls signed the slips making them "Pests."
The short period of election was soon over in order to allow the new students to join their respective so- cities. Ann and "Shorty" ran to re- join their two friends.
As soon as the two girls saw Ellen and "Rennie" they breathlessly cried, "We're with you, girls, we
joined the 'Pests!' "
Ellen and "Rennie" looked blankly at their two friends and slowly said, "Why, we joined the Normals in or- ¡der to be with you!"
L'Envoi: Ann and "Shorty" now swear fervidly by the "Pests," while Ellen and "Rennie" strongly support

In 1909 the Alumnae Association of the school met and discussed the need of more trained teachers in Maryland and through a well or- ganized campaign acquainted the people of the State as to the true situation. Hon. J. Charles Linthi- cum, an Alumnus, introduced a bill in the Legislature providing a bond issue of $400,000.00 for the purchas- ing of a suitable site for the proposed new Normal School.

passed and a committee let it be known that it wished to purchase not less than 75 acres of land on a

is that all you studied?
Grandmother: No indeed We had biology too! Mother:
Did you have real practice in teaching the children? Grandmother:
Not in a regular mapped out sys- tem. We would observe a class and would talk about the lesson and may- be we would teach our own class- mates. This was due to the fact that the Practice School was then what we might call a Pay School. Mother:
Yes, it was not until the school was moved to its present location in Towson that the practice school be- came a public school.
