Approval of building plans for the new women's dormitory, donations and recommendations for the new elementary school, and approval of a $1,250,000 budget for 1955-56 are among the actions taken by the Un- ion College Board of Trustees last week. Building Begins in 1956 The preliminary plans for the new Pearl L. Rees hall schedule the building beginning for March, 1956. The new residence hall, replacing old North hall, will cost approxi- mately $500,000. Construction on die new dormi- tory which will house 230 women students, will not begin until March, 1956. The new women's residence will be of modern fire-proof brick con- struction and will be four stories high. In architecture it will be simi- lar to the new men's residence com- pleted in 1953. The new unit is the second in a series of three additions to the Col- lege View campus planned in the $7.5 million rebuilding program. Besides the men's and women's dormitory, plans call for a new ad- ministration building, but no date has been set for its construction. Plans for Elementary School Voted by the board was a plan to assist the College View SDA church on the new elementary school building. The building site will be donated by the college in addition to $30,000 of the total cost. Recommendations were passed con- cerning the operation of the school by the church board. The board sent a series of recom- mendations to the church setting up a plan of join operation of the new school by the church and the col- lege. If the recommendations are ap- proved by the church, Union Col- lege would get facilities for prac- tice teaching in the new school. Degree Changes Made Also approved was the re-elec- tion of the present faculty, the short- ening of the nursing program, and the changing of the bachelor of science degree in various fields to one bachelor of science degree only. $$$ For a New Editor We're having a contest and you're all invited! In die interests of more reading for you and less work for us, the CLOCK TOWER Staff is, as of the dateline on tiiis issue, sponsoring a feature-writing contest, complete with prizes. If your name does not appear on the masthead under "editorial staff," you qualify for the top prize of $10, and the three second prizes of $5 each. You may be a student, or staff member—we want you to write. What should you write about? A "feature" is a distinctive story or article on a person, place, or event, that may be either entertaining or informative. Sometimes the feature is built on "human interest," play- ing up a humorous, human, or a dra- matic situation. Often it will build on facts and ideas, informing the public about something new, or something unusual. It may be a story, or an interview—or almost anything. Bring your features to the CLOCK TOWER office, with your name at- tached on a separate piece of pa- per. They must be typed, double- spaced, one side of paper only. You choose the length necessary for your article. They will be evaluated pointwise, 10-1, by the CT editorial staff, on idea and presentation. DEADLINE: NOON, MARCH 11.

Food for Thought To paraphrase Francis Bacon, ". . . chew this food thoroughly and digest it well." (Ed Note—This food is ok for those on various diets!) Students in Marriage and Family class first semester learned that the most important thing a couple can have to insure marital happiness is a mutual wholesome attitude toward marriage. This idea of a healthy attitude promoting happiness may well be carried over into all life. Sometimes the attitude of Seventh-day Adventists, and to be a bit more specific, SDA college students is far from wholesome. We do not refer to morals but to the prejudiced and narrow minded thinking (or lack of thinking) which is so prevalent on this campus as well as those of our sister colleges. Most people would assure you they were "open-minded" if ask- ed on this point. These people can probably be fitted into one of three types. 1. Open at both ends. This title pretty well speaks for itself. Here is the individual who goes through life absorbing little or nothing mentally. 2. Open to certain types of material. Here is the individual who only listens to half of the story, the person who closes the door to reasoning when the facts are only part- ly in. 3. Open to all things. Here is the man who listens to all the facts, looks at both sides of the subject, evaluates, and finally comes to a conclusion after spending some time in thought. This last fellow is the one who can see advantages in both (or perhaps better stated, either) a junior-senior banquet and/or picnic. Here is the one who doesn't conclude a couple are "going steady" after two or three dates. We refer to that attitude which kills thought, the tendency of college students (SDA especially) to be content to follow the path of least resistance with little or no respect for authority, morals, or prin- ciples. The weakness is like a parasite which saps the moral strength of tomorrow's leaders until only a hollow shell, following the rigidly enforced laws, stands weak, wishy-washy, and mentally dead. What kind of a leader will a student of today bo if his character is formed by principles based on "how much he can get-away-with?" How strong can he be whose principles are those of his associates, whomever they may happen to be at the moment. He, who when ask- ed to state his ethics and philosophy of life, lists off some of those of his church, which he knows should be his, but more closely resemble whitewash. A rare person is he, even in our college, who stands for what he thinks and not what others think or don't think, as the case may be. E. Nuffsed CLUBLICITY SIGMA IOTA KAPPA February 3 The new officers of Sigma Iota Kappa for second semester were in- troduced at the beginning of the club's meeting on February 3. George Newmyer and Bill [arvis introduced themselves as the new Club Heralds—the traditional com- mentators on the local social life. The main event consisted of the showing of two sports films: Foot- ball Parade of 1953, and Water Sports. February 10 Mr. Robert Firth, head of Union's business department, was guest speaker at the February 10 meeting. Mr. Firth is a veteran of service on the front lines in Europe during the second World War. Some of his ob- servations provided Mr. Firth with the basis for his talk. KAPPA THETA February 2 On February 2, second semester KT club President Beverly Thomp- son introduced the other new offi- cers. They are Althea Rae, vice- president; Helen Crisp, secretary; Lila Wenzel, treasurer; Anna Ruth Ruetting, cultural secretary; Jackie Schimke, chorister; and Marlene Harrop, pianist, A reading, musical numbers, and refreshments made up the rest of the program. Participating were Charlotte Lehto, Sharlene Wood, Laurell Peterson, and the senior nurses' quartet: Althea Rae, Elaine Evanenko, Lorraine Kostenko, and Elsie Schlup. IN STUDENT DIRECTED HOUR Elder Dealy, College View SDA church custodian, examines two nondescript objects from the church's lost and found collection. "The hanky that grandma sent for Christmas may be in this church collection," said Elder M. G. Dealy, church custodian. A scarf from California lies wrin- kled in the pile with a glove of tan, a glove of green, grey gloves, blue gloves, beige gloves, some black, some red gloves, cotton gloves, knitted gloves, thin gloves, thick gloves, leather gloves. Have you lost gloves? or glove? Combs, scarfs, hankies, caps, hats, ribbons, pins and mittens— these lost objects cover much space in the large dark shelf for the lost and found of the College View SDA church. There are little children's caps (one is red with furry, bouncy, white pompoms) which should be warming ears and adorning little heads. But there they lie, in strange company, forgotten, neglected! A tiny baby cap of pale pink wool still looks adorable in spite of the dust on its dainty lace trim. Possibly its little owner's head has outgrown it long ago, but do you think the mother feels no sentiment for the little cap she made? On week days when the large church is quiet or filled by a lone organist's music, diffused gold sun- light shines through stained glass on polished wood, soft carpet, rows and rows of empty pews and shin- ing floor—but what's this? Another glove, of winter white—dropped carelessly beneath a seat—to the rest of the large glove clan it goes. One white glove among fifteen or so of black, unclaimed (unwant- ed?) gloves. These articles represent many kinds of persons—young, old, the new clove type, and the worn glove set. It might be interesting to know the environments these objects have known. In a gathering of diverse personalities there is usually a touch of mystery or drama; so with this collection. Elder Dealy can't define the object in his left hand—a bit of cord and a piece of white fur. S.N. Dear Brethren and friends in Lin- coln, It is nice to be home again after missing it for sixteen months. I came on September 27, and since then I have been very busy helping in the work here at the college. I am so glad to be back and be used of God in this part of the world field. I am working in the same depart- ment, the cafeteria and the history department. I do some teaching in the morning, and after classes I go to the cafeteria and work there until evening. I am enjoying my work even if it has been very strenuous. There is nothing so enjoyable as it is to be in the work of the Lord. I met Dr. Everett Dick a week ago today. It was just like seeing Lincoln again and meeting the won- derful people there. He reviewed our MCC here at the college late that afternoon. He left the next morning for Singapore where he was to attend a yearly meeting of our Far Eastern division workers. He is coming back to Manila some- time next month. We are always glad to have him around and espe- cially in my case—I always feel that I am in Lincoln whenever 1 meet him. His presence always brings to me fond memories of my stay there which I will remember as long as I live. We have very much to do yet; there is very little time to do the work God has given us to do. All around us we see the signs being fulfilled. Every day we hear and see jet planes at constant practice. Then all around us we see very much suffering, pain, diseases, and death. We long for a better place than this earth. We all long to go heme and enjoy what eternity has for us. May the Lord bless us all to be faithful until He comes so that we may meet each other again over there. Thank you again for all you have done for me. Sincerely, your sister in faith, MRS. JOSEFINA C. PASCUAI, The great compensation to dis- covering how little you know is dis- covering how little others know too.

BY LAURELL PETERSON The prophet Job has said, "Ac- quaint now thyself with God." ( Job 22:21, margin.) Because of these words the Power Hour was begun at Union College. We can only be- come acquainted with God while we are all alone with Him. Com- muning with Him through prayer and Bible study, we believe our faith can be strengthened and our devotion increased by discussing together Bible truths and sharing with others the joyous experience that comes to all who walk with God. The Power Hour is held each Wednesday morning at 9:35 in room 210. A different student is selected each week to present a short Bible study and lead out in the discussion. On February 2 Jack Blanco told us about the Lord's Day Alliance and their "Save-your-Sunday" crusade. He read several statements from The Great Controversy to help us realize that this great interest in preserving the supposed sacredness of Sunday is one more sign of the nearness of Jesus' second coming. At the close of the study we knelt in prayer, seeking God's strength to withstand the wiles of the devil and be among those who stand with Je- sus on the sea of glass to sing with Him the song of victory. Armed Forces Rctg. Sta. 333 W. Sprague Ave. Spokane 4, Wash. Feb. 1, 1955 Greetings, scholars! Well, well, second semester al- ready. Spring will be here before you know it, and that reminds me . . .are you a fugitive from the law of averages? If so, cheer up! The army might not be the murky misery some of you may have en- visioned. Cruel and inhuman pun- ishments are now frowned upon. Really it's an all new outfit; more sweat, less blood and all that sort of thing. Perhaps you will never have it so good. College education rates special treatment. Every effort is made to present the difficult or abstract in a down to earth manner. Those slightly deaf have equal opportun- ity. All instruction is in a loud clear voice. Don't worry about the friends you may be leaving behind. They adjust to your absence in a surpris- ingly short time. As a matter of fact, experience indicates that with- in a few short weeks they will have difficulty remembering your address or finding that last letter. The army is a cinch, and after all those weeks of grind your fatigued minds can rest. . . for twenty-four short months. Be seeing you, E. B. Blair Ajftel Qtadu.atia+i Mr. and Mrs. Reuben Beck, '52 and '51, workers at the Pacific Press branch in Omaha spent the week end of February 4-5 in Lincoln visit- ing friends. L. C. Northrup, M.D., '12, of Tul- sa, Oklahoma, and Mrs. R. T. Em- ery, '01, of Portland, Oregon, were in Lincoln February 7 to attend the funeral of their sister, Mrs. Elsa Ward, '20, who died in Tulsa Feb- ruary 2. Mrs. Ward had been fail- ing in health since the holidays. Dr. C. N. Rees, '31, president of Southwestern Junior College, spent a day in Lincoln visiting at the home of his mother, prior to attend- ing the college Board of Trustees meeting, February 8-9. The alumni officers are happy to announce that Elder J. L. Dittber- ner, '41, president of the Wyoming conference, will be the speaker at both church services on Sabbath. May 7, at the time of the annual Alumni Homecoming. Plan now to be on the campus for this important day. Mrs. Jose Bradley, (Ethel Robin- son, '01), a long time resident of College View, passed away Febru- ary 9 as the result of a heart attack. Mrs. Bradley had not been well for some time. She will be greatly missed by her many friends and relatives in the village. Fred Lorenz, '52, music teacher at Sheyenne River Academy in North Dakota, and Jack Wills', '54, music teacher at Sunnydale Acad- emy in Missouri, were recent cam- pus guests. @cviteterU* Banana Bread (Makes 1 loaf) 'A cup shortening 1 cup sugar 2 eggs 3 medium bananas 'A teaspoon lemon juice 2 cups cake flour 1 teaspoon soda 1/3 cup English walnuts Cream s u g a r, shortening, and eggs until light and fluffy.

They are merely the harmless sen- iors of UCA. Now that we have extinguished your fear, how about acquainting yourselves with the seniors? Harold ("Shorty") Reeder, presi- dent, doesn't have much to say for himself except he would someday like to become a dentist. He likes spending his spare time in sports, music, and model railroading, or eating tomato sandwiches. OF '55 r need a dentist after eating her fa- vorite food, crunchy peanut butter. Walter Newmyer is going to take the physical education course after academy. Walt seems to be another peanut butter fan who likes his in the sandwich form. Some of these student teachers seem to bother him, but, when he doesn't let that get him down, you might find him at the gym or building his model rail- road. June Robinson hopes to take sec- retarial training. She seems to be collecting things quite regularly for her hope chest. If she hasn't occu- pied her time playing basketball, vou might find her eating French fries. Seniors of 1955. First row, left to right: Marvel Jensen, Harold Reeder, Arlo Krueger, Mory Kay Humann, Charles Chambers, Phyllis Begole. Second row: Irene Williams, Joanne Smellage, Merlene Multer, Carol Hilde. Third row: June Robinson, Calvin Mcllwain, Jon Rosenthal, Robert Willis, Cornelius Covrig. Fourth row. Mr. Lickey, Sam .Wagner. The vice-president, Mary Kay Human, has quite an ambition- getting married (what a dreamer!). Any spare time she has on hand is spent writing letters to Wichita. If she has a little more time, she will do a little cooking or maybe even sit down to her favorite dish of ice cream. Phyllis Begole is planning to be a secretary and already has her start by being class secretary. She enjoys painting and playing tennis. After a hard game of tennis you might find her indulging in some of her favorite food. When Marvel Jensen is not busy figuring on the class books, you will probably find her diving into a cho- colate meringue pie to give her a little more energy to practice her piano lesson. Besides enjoying the piano, Marvel likes swimming. She is studying to be a surgical nurse. Stav clear of Marvel if you don't tell the truth, for prevaricators are her pet peeve. Charlie Chambers, sergeant-at- arms, would like very much to be a successful man, or rather a business- man. He spends a good deal of his time in sports. You better keep an eye on your strawberry patches, since strawberries are his favorite food. Arlo Krueger is already 011 the way to his ambition of being a min- ister by being pastor of the class. He usually is high point man for the Philadelphian basketball team. An- other of his hobbies is woodwork- ing. Carol Hilde must be one of those "al way s-on-the-go" i 11 d i vi d u a 1 s, since she is planning to be an air- line stewardess. To work oft a little weight that she puts on by eating lemon pie, you might find her down at the tennis court. Are you up on the latest records? Calvin Mcllwain has the low-down on that. Calvin plans to go, into nurses' training after academy or who knows—he might end up going to Columbia after he finishes study- ing at the library. He eats plenty of French fries, and he can't stand teachers who give hard quizzes. Merlene Multer plans to be a dental assistant. She will probably Sam Wagner's ambition is to get out of school, hut after that he would like to be a veterinarian. His favorite food is Italian spaghetti and his hobby is cars. To be a surgical nurse is Carolyn Kuehl's ambition. , Making scrap- books and swimming are her hob- bies. She also likes eating pecan pie. Jon Rosenthal is studying to be- come a dentist. But right now he likes sports, and his favorite dish is chow mein. Irene Williams is another one that likes traveling. She wants to be a missionary nurse. She likes to play shuffleboard and eat cream puffs. Being a farm implement dealer appeals to Robert Willis. The more cherry pie a la mode, the better he likes it. His hobby is mechanics. Joanne Smellage's ambition is to be a secretary. She likes scrapbooks and tennis. Chocolate is her favor- ite food. Cornelius Covrig, our newest sen- ior, plans to be a pharmacist. In his spare time he likes sports, and his favorite food is banana cream pie. SIIORTY REEDER OVERHEAR f by Anna Ruth Ruetting The 10:45 p.m. blink at North hall occured just as Lupe Torres started to do a little monkey-shinin.' Shir- ley Cleveland's comment was "I don't blame that light. I'd go out too." When questioned as to the method she used in getting the answer to a difficult chemistry problem, Marlene Harrop displayed the epitome of modest}'. Meekly she said, "I must have had a vision." The word is get, not git! It's get, not gat!! Every (almost every)-body says (pronounces) it (get) wrong. A joint chapel devoted to practicing the correct pronunciation might cure Unionites, but think of all the people who would still be "gittin" when they should be "getting." But then think of all the chapels. Let's experiment and see if we can do without the word get. 1. Old way. I'll get up at three o'clock in the morn- ing to study. 2. Revolutionized. I'll up at three o'clock in the morning to study. Now that's much more dignified, isn't it? Not that it really matters though, because I probably won't even make it to worship. 1. Old, way. Get back into the "dorm" by 10:30 p.m. 2. Revolutionized. Back into the "dorm" by 10:30— uh—is a nuisance. Anyhow, let's be "gitting" rid of "git!" Or speaking in the revolutionized way, "Let's be rid of." Such are the foibles of human society. E. Nuffsed can't accuse the lower division chapel group of "letting the stars in their eyes" because when the astronomical bodies were being presented to them in the February 7 assembly their eyes were pretty well shut! Kennard Stoll said he thought that Miriam Duri- chek and Laurell Peterson were sisters because the back of their heads looked alike. (Ed. note: afjer all, look at all the scientific research being done in phrenology.) Lorraine Kostenko and Sumie Umoto, who are senior nursing students, came very close to going "to the dogs" the other night. They intended to call the Veteran's hospital to see about employment, but made a mistake and called the veterinarian instead. Maybe Cliff Burgeson thinks the "Ad" building is a sky-scraper. When Ardith Miller met him on third floor and asked him where Mr. Straight's office was he said, "It's up another block." Further implications are left to the reader. Cheerio! Must trot along now. (Ever trot? It's a pretty good way to travel! The only better way to travel is on an "unscarred elephant.") by Jon Owens No doubt most of you noticed several sleepy occu- pants of South hall; namely Allen Miller, Kenneth Dedeker, Jack Robison, Barry Siebenlist, and John Brewer wandering around the halls a few days ago. The reason for all that loss of sleep happened to be the nearby construction of some new grain elevators. The job lasted for only a few days, but the boys all worked the night shift from seven at night to seven in the morning. These hours soon prompted Allen Miller and his roommate, Jack Robison, to hang a one-hundred word "Do Not Disturb" sign on their door, entreating one and all to "go away" and let them get some sleep. However, a few of the boys decided that people do not give you good wages just because you have an honest lace. Unfortunately for them, the foremen also agree with Dr. Reinmuth and his friend, Winston Churchill. Recently, Walt Newmyer was helping a friend de- cide where to put up an anouncement for a meeting. "You could put it on the bulletin board," (a typical dormitory bulletin board) suggested Walt, "but it's already filled with important announcements." One night Floyd Harberts happened to run into Kenny Mayes. By way of greeting Floyd announced, "All right, Kenny Mayes, I know your number!" "So you know my number; well, what is it?" re- torted Mayes. "Oh! Well, it's 10, yes, that's what it is." jerry (the preacher) McGill is now an O'Henry authority, or so one would think. The class was Ad- vanced Composition (Catalogue number 168); the assignment, eight different stories by eight different authors, to be outlined. Jerry, the only confused mem- ber of the class, busily and carefully read and outlined all eight by William Sidney Porter (O'Henry to you). At least it wasn't the same story all eight times. Jerry Wiley is working way overtime for the Gold- en Cords (he's the photographer). Last seen, he was on the floor in the Biology department. A closer look revealed that he was taking a picture—of three stu- dents perched feet first on chairs. Can't wait to see that yearbook. Probably the most popular diversion around the dorm right now is basketball. Almost everyone is inter- ested in the outcome of the local games, the high scor- ers, and the fate of the University' of Nebraska team. But last Saturday night, the night of the class parties, the class parties ran a close second. A few of the sophomore boys were slightly dis- gruntled to learn about the last minute cancellation of their proposed hayride in the near-zero weather. But to top it all off, the Oklahoma fellows had more than one reason to be disgruntled.

Of all the hours of the Sabbath the vesper hour is, I believe, the most restive and awe- inspiring service of the day. It is a time set apart for us to hold indi- vidual consultation and meditation with God and reflect on His crafts- manship and protection. There are many factors that help create the attitude of individual prayerfulness and peace that per- vades the twilight hour. The last rays of the sun filtering through the stained-glass windows reminds us that another Sabbath is ending. The single light focused on the pulpit turns our thoughts to lessons from God's word. The peaceful, soothing strains of the organ seem to gently massage our souls and purify our thoughts, making us think of how wonderfully fortunate we are that just a little part of such a service can belong to us. It deters our thoughts from worldly and selfish things and leaves us quieted and somehow better prepared for the coming week's work. If I were allowed to attend only one meeting a week, I would, with- out qualification, choose that peace- ful twilight Sabbath hour of ves- pers. Mrs. Margaret W. Widener, member of the music faculty, was designated to represent Union Col- lege at the 79th National Music Teachers convention at St. Louis, February 13-16. Nationally known musicians from all over the country will be in attendance. Forums and round-table discussions on every phase of music will be discussed with special emphasis placed on musical therapy as a treatment for the retarded individual. The music department presented a group of vocal soloists at its monthly chapel programs January 10 and 11. Samplings of various types and styles of music were given. Students participating were: Wel- don Fletcher, Don Runyan, Art Dick, LaVerne Jones, Cliff Burge- son, Robert Strukow, Kathy Mar- tineson, Bob McClendon, and Verle Betts. STRAIGHT SCOOP: A N urse Se rves DR. E. P. HEINRICH Optometrist 4735 Prescott Avenue Lincoln, Nebraska Math, Music, Mental Maps IMTRAMURALS Mr. Straight is pictured at work on o survey of the curriculums in Adventist secondary schools. This is a part of his work toward a doctor's degree. when Mr. Glenn Straight bought the bookbindery and it seemed this may remain the main line in his life as he settled into the nine months work there with three months of the winter in Florida with a degree of contentment except for one desire- to continue school work. This was one of the deciding factors in his de- cision to come to Union College as head of the bindery. The former line in teaching con- tinued again with a position in the UC m u s i c department teaching wind and brass instruments. A wish to help students find their goals in life was the main drive behind study at the University in the field of Edu- cational Psychology and his change to the education department at Un- ion. Having had no special degree in mind at the beginning of his work he was encouraged by Dr. Bailer who sponsored him for his master's degree in Educational Psychology. Work on his doctor's degree lacks only his thesis, the subject of which will be "The Emotional Influence on an Easily Identified Minority Group in a Public School." This is a part of the pattern of Mr. Glenn H. Straight's life, the line leading through his teaching career, his music, his work. There is a pattern for every life. Everyone's life has followed and will follow this pattern of some form. No one is alike so no life pat- tern is alike though all have some similarity. Each person makes his own perhaps unwittingly and per- haps unintentionally but he is weav- ing it in every decision, every plan, every dream he makes. The pattern of Glenn H. Straight's life was started in Charlotte, Michi- gan. Even as a child certain inter- ests were evident. A talent in mu- sic was shown by the fine tones pro- duced on a toy Christinas horn. One significant line may have had its beginning because of the Adventist home. This line was deepened and strengthened as Glenn attended church school in Charlotte, acad- emy at Cedar Lake and college at Berrien Srpings. After two years as Winyah Lake Academy principal in Florida the Straights prepared to extend their frontiers with a trip to Spionkop College in Africa as physics head. This being ruled out by his wife's illness, Mr. Straight accepted a po- sition at Berrien Springs as math instructor. He moved from here to Walderly Academy in Wisconsin and to Bethel, Wisconsin. At Bethel a new line was drawn The little old, crippled lady lay quietly with her pale face and sunk- en eyes turned to greet me as I came in the door. Major surgery had been performed eight days ago on this little old lady. Now she was hying to gain enough strength to undergo another major operation which was necessary for life. She was crippled with arthritis and couldn't move alone. She was very difficult to take care of and demanded so much of my limited time. Each day on my way to work I felt the dread of caring for her creep upon me. She was sweet, but I just could not see any one person re- questing so much of a nurse. Before I entered her room I ut- tered a silent prayer that God would help me to be good and kind to her and give her the care she needed in a gentle way. As I pushed open the door her pale face was turned toward me. Her sunken eyes brightened slight- ly, and a trace of a smile crossed her lips for the first time. She asked for my hand and holding it gently she stated that she was glad to see me again and also said, "My dear, you were meant to be a nurse the day you were born." With God's help I had overcome my dislike of caring for her. I am so glad. No task is too great, no feeling too difficult to overcome with our Saviour's help. Let us all depend more upon Him. —VERA GRITZ Open for Business Every day except Saturday from 7-9. Fridays we close 1 hour before sundown.

Included in diis are tennis, baseball, track events, and golf. All this will be organized and many more can enter into the sports program. A semi-upset was the result of a win by the "heighty" Texoma team over the once undefeated Lucky 7 "netsters." The game was one of the scheduled American League games, Sunday, February 6. Another ex- ample of the battle for that top league position was the game Sun- day, February 13. All that happened resulted from an overtime which put the Oilers over the Rockets by one point, 57-56. Other games on the schedule have included a win by the Phila- delphians 51 over the Rockets 49. Another win by Texoma came when they were able to hold back the Oilers 47-44. Kansas trounced the Rockets 54-39 and also another win for Kansas came by a forfeit from the Lakers. In the B, or National League, sev- eral games have been played. The Ilawkeyes squeezed by the Moun- tain Boys 23-20. A very hot scoring and close game between Team 1 and the academy ended in a tie dur- ing the regulation playing period, 40-40. The overtime proved fatal for Team 1 as the academy rolled by 46-43. The complete standings and top scorers will appear in the next is- sue of the CLOCK TOWER.
