IN OVERTIME GAME ABLY PRESENTED CHOSE:'11 A'l' TRY:OUT

Basket Scored by Elliott in Extra Five Minutes of Play Broke 21 to 21

Tie, Giving Viet-Ory to Purple a.nd Gold

In a well-mate<l conte:, t between our basket-shopters and tliose repre,:enting · the Superior Normal played in the gymnasium here on last Friday even· ing, Elliot~. regular forward who was absent f:-om the line-up during the two halves, went in when the onirtime per­iod was well under way and scored one ·basket, breaking a 21 to 21 tie and nailing victory for us by a two-point margin.

The a hsence of Dan Horne and El­liott from the line-up slowed up the playing of Coach TeniS'On''!=: quin·et to a considerable extent awl althongh Superior was never in the lead during the contest. the visiting playp:-s f: llC· ceeded in making thing!': interestinl! for our athletes by tyinl? the score just before the las~ half ended.._ Neither team showed particular strength in ability to score.

Little scoring was done Parly in the first half. the score being 3 to 2 with the locals in the lead after mo::e than firn minu~es of playini:;-. The first half ended 11 to 9 with the locals still hold­inl! the long en'1 of the count.

Superior managed to tie what ap­peared to be a wide enough lead to in­sure victor:v for T enison's team well alon~ in the second half. and the pla:ving of both ~earns bit a faster stride as the vi!!'itors shortened our lead. The signal tnminating the game found the two teams dead-locked with 21 points each. A five-minute over­time ne::iod was agree<l npon. Elliott.

~ who had bePn inrli!=:posed for f<evernl .days previous and who was unable ~o play for a verv long period. was put in for the last five minute;; of play. It was about all that he could stand but it was long enough for him to cage a basket. the only one that was made during the extra five minutes of play.

Andrews and Ritchay !':tarted the game as forwards, McBride at center and Bourn and Zorn as guards. Hlrzy was put in to replace And:ews in the sec<>"~l half. Dyer of the local faculty refereed.

MANY GOOD JOBS . OPEN FOR TEACHJ.<;RS

Detroit City School Head Will Place NorntJll Graduates at $132 Per

Month With a Promise of Even More

The superintendent of the Detroit, Mich., public schools has offered to place a number of graduates of this school; who have had two years ~r teaching experience, in the Detroit schools at a guaranteed salary of $1a2 a month and a very good possi­bility of an increase to $150 before the beginning of another school year.

All of the positions ·which it is de­sired to till with the . graduates of this institution are in grammar grade and primary work. The class room work will be in no grades higher than t he sLxth. The school year e t ends over a 10 months' period and the offer therefore can-ies a promise of a salary of $1,500 per year for each instructor engaged.

Eight Recommended Professo1· Swartz has already re­

commended eight graduates of this in­stitution, not any of which are in at­tendance here now. They are: Karen Jacobsen, Withee; Ada Quinnell and Elizabeth Quinnell. Nielsville; Mari.e Melz, Gliddon; Harriet Pinkerton Park Falls; Ida Brevad, Abbotsford; Hattie Meyers, Two Rivers, and Ruth Rausch, Columbus, Wis.

It is the plan of the Detroit pub­lic school heads to secure teachers from t he different educational institu­tions of the sta te in order to make a comparative study of their teaching m ethods.

Little Illness Experienced by Girls of Nelson Hall During Recent

Epidemic F ew students at this school have

been afflicted with the malady during­the recent influenza epidemic, at lease only a small lJercentage atr--Nelson Hall which houses more than 100 young ladies attending the institution.

An infirmary was established on the third floor of the dormitory at the time t here were the largest number of influenza cases in Stevens P oint, in order that the school would have a suitable place to care for its women students. During the past several weeks, however, there have been only fcur patients confi ned to the infi rmary who wer e afflicted with the fl u.

The infirmary wus closed fo llowing r ecovery of the patients, but was r e­opened a gain thi s week to car e for two studen ts suffering wi th severe colds, two cases of tonsilitis and one of mumps.

Annual Athletic Event {;;; be Held Un<ler Auspices of si"J.t~-Normal

Re;;tricted to Eight Best Teams in This Section

Invitations have been issued to many schools in central Wisconsin to the sectional basketball tournament which is t o be conducted at the Ste­vens Point Normal school gymnasium March 4, 5 and 6. The rulings for this tournament will be the same as

THE , POINTER

in former years except th;t not mo re than eig ht teams shall be entered in any one tourney. This restriction is ordered by the Wisconsin Interscho­lastic Athletic association. As a re­sult not all schools invited will actu­ally be permitted to compete.

In sending out invitations. Coach S: A. Tenison of t.he N ormal faculty instructed teams applJing for entry in the local tournament · to send iri their records of games played so far this season. The eight teams chosen are to be selecte<l on the brisis of merit alone, Mr. Tenison to make the sel ec-tion. ·

Rule ls Unpopular The rule of lt,e W. I. A. ~ A . restrict­

ing the numLer of eompeting teams to eight is meeting general disfavor throughout the several Normal schooi districts of the state. Its application thi-s year for the first time, makes it imp.ossible to stage a big tournament. Stevens Point has gained a reputation as a basketball center and in pnst years more teams have cnte1·ed the sectional tournament here than at any ether Normal school of the state, and for this reason the new · rule will work h,udship on the local management. With more thnn a dozen teams desir­ing to enter, some will have to be dis­appointed. . Last year a total of 18 teams competed here, while this year the number will be only. eight.

Other sectional tournaments will be played simultaneously Mnrch 4 to 6 inclusive, at Platteville, Oshkosh. Mil­waukee, .La Crosse, Eau Claire, Super­ior and Whitewater Normals. and at Stout Institute at Menonronie, Wis. River Falls is barred this year, that school having broken rules governing its tourney last winter.

The winners in each section will go to Madison later in the month to com­pete for the state high school cham­pionship. ·

Second Tourney Proposed In sendinir invitations to high school

teams in this section of the st.ate, Coach S. A . Tenison asked each school if it would send its team to a sec"na t eurnament nt the Stevens Point Nor­mal later on in March for the teams ran"ked as inferior to the eight select­ed . It is pnssible that such a tourney may be held here

By virtue of its victory last Friday night a t Eau Claire over the Eau Claire Normal quintet, 32 to19r--the River Falls Normal Basketball team is assured of the northern division championship.

No1mal school c.-onference, whiie Stevens Point, Stout, Eau Claire and Superior have met with defeats. The champs have won seven conference games.

Southern Title Not Settled

In the southern section almost any­thing may hap1,e·n, though at present the race seems to lie beraeen i'latte­vllle and Oshkosh. La Crosse can, celled its games when the other team::, in the conrerence retused to meet tile 1919 champions with H'uber, nO;W playing. his fourth year in 'the La Crosse line-up, Oshkosh still has three games to play. Platteville has two, a nd Milwaukee one. Almost anything may happen, though it may be said that th.e title seems now to lit between Platteville and Oshkosh. Milwaukee plays Oshkosh Friday at Oshkosh ,'!Ind a Milwaukee victory would complcate the situation but this event seems unlikely in view of · the fact that the Oshkosh five beat Coach W owner's men on their own floor last week.

If the games in the southern sec­tion can be concluded in time, the state championship arrangements call for a game between the northern and southern champions on a neutral floor to be selected March 12.

+ TENISON'S FIVE DEFEATED

BY EAU CLAIRE QUINTET

Defeat was handed our athletes by the Eau C1aire Normal five at Eau Claire two weeks ago, the final score being 29 to 19. The erratic playing of Williams, forwa.rd for Eau Claire, who scored seven or eight baskets from the field on wild shots, made the victory possible for his team.

Although our team played without two regulars who appeared in eal"iler games, the quintet put up a deter­mined fight and threatened to over­come the lead of the winners on sev­eral occasions. The first half ended 15 to 11 with our r epresentatives only four points in the rear. E'arly Hi the secr-nd half the score stood 21 to 17. Baskets r egistered by Eau Claire were madP. on lon<? shots while the wearers of the oorple and gold scored from under the basket :>s the result of consistent tenm work.

Elliott and Hirzv started as for­wards £01' the Point, Colby replacing J-Tirzy in the second half. · Znm and Bourn wP>:>P the guards and McBride played Center.

It is possible for a debator or an orator to put practically all of his enthusiasm and ability into his work even though he has not the e,ntire support of the school, but it is a re­cognized fact that it is possible for him to put all of his energy into his wvrk and to go over the bounds as far as it is humanly possible, if he knows that the entire school is backing him

The backing that the school orator received last year-culminated in an outbreak of enthusiasm at Oshkosh that put S. P. N. on the map as the peppiest Normal in the state. Our representatives cheered longer and louder than any other scJ-iool. They wanted S. P. N. to win and they told the entire delegation so in a voice so loud nnd sincere that a great many students and Professors went home from that contest with the conviction thiit Stevens P oint is a real school.

A school is very often judged by the amount of school spirit they show. Let us not be found lacking in this one essential of a good school by not baclfing the debators and the orator.

MISTAKE Throughout the entire football -sea­

son, great enthusiasm was displayed by the student oody in the form or peppy mass meetings and send uft's, e1tnec when the team played here or away from home.

'l'his same sl::1001 spirit: was duplt­cated with the coming of the basket­ball season. Organized . IllASS meet­ings were held at their regular and cU:stGmary times just before games.

"Acco).·ding to this! custom, why wasn't . there any mass meeting Fri­day, ,Feb. 20, during general exer-· cise," is the question that both fac­ulty and students are asking one an­other. Is it because the team has been defeated in the games played with River Falls and Eau Claire? This comes very far from answering· the question and it certainly is not the reason ·; for any observer could have noticed that the student b0dy was eager to prove their faithfulness, which had been excellently displayed Friday evening during the game. Stu­dents went enthusiastically wild.

For the last four or five massmeet­ings that took place, the Forward club came to the front and proved their ability to execute organized mass­meetings. At each one of these meet­ings the cheerleader unaware of the club's plan in dP.tail would appear at whatever time he saw best.

Last Friday, the Forward club had not made any previous preparation ancl the same is true with the cheer­leadP.r, the latter depending upon the former as usual; one misunderstand­ing the other. cnnsequently no mass­meeting was held.

Mr. Herbert Steiner, State Normal School, ..-""') Stevens Point, Wis. /'

Dear Herb: Hurrah! It was surely good to re­

ceive the last issue of the "Pointer_." I sincerely wish you all success m lining up the alumni in behalf of the old school. . ..,

The "Pointer" brought back fond memories of my activities while at Normal, the successful basketball and football seasons, the many good so­cial times, and the calls to t~e office when we were shown the stra1g~t and narrow path, those concert h·1ps of the Male Qu·artette when you w~re Basso Profundo and I was a squeaking tenor and we sang "Alfonso and Gaston." I will never forget the alarm clock I wore as a watch charm.

During the summer I am Director of the Summer School of Physical Ed­ucation at Cornell University and see a good bit of Professor Lusk, \n fact, have lived with the Lusks durmg the past three summers. We. have. talked many times of the champ1onsh1p foot­ball team of 1908 when Billy Lusk was coach and I was captain. Do you remember the turkey rlinner that t he _. Lusks gave to the football squad?

I note that you are a full-fled"'ed professor at S. P. N . Here's success.

With kind personal regards and a desire to be remembered to my many friends in Stevens Point, I am
