The Frank Needles team lead the varsity at half time, 12 to 10, by virtue of the dead eye long distance shooting of Al O'Neill, guard and Russ Ham, forward. Free Throws The fact that the Institute was guilty of numerous fouls, all of which resulting in free throws that St. Ignatius made good kept the Gray Fog In the running in the first half. The score see-sawed at the beginning of the second half, but gradually the St. Ignatius scoring machine began to pick up effectiveness in the second half, and as Hale and Kleckner and Maloney slipped through the Institute defense, the Ignatian total mounted. Hale broke the tie with a one handed running shot, and from then on it was just a question of the score.

Soph Debaters Hear Management Discussed The debate held in Father Cody's public speaking class on Tuesday, February 19, was on the question: Resolved: That all American cities should adopt the city management plan of government. A great deal of this debate evolved around Chairman Connolly and his decisions, but this helped to enliven an otherwise dull debate. The affirmative side managed to obtain the decision of the judges though no one could see really why a decision was made. Affirmative— Petri, J. Cronin and Robinson. Negative, R. O'Day, Morton Kenny and Rittori. The debate scheduled for Tuesday, February 26th, will be: Resolved: That the United States should join the world court. Affirmative, Welch, F. Cronin, Ryan.

J. Frank Barrett, '07, has been ap pointed chairman of the dinner committee. He and his associates will make every effort to have all former varsity basketball players who reside in California present at the affair. Despite their defeat at the hands of Santa Clara, St. Ignatius' claim to be the best cage outfit in the West cannot be discounted. The Ignatians have "borne the heat of the day." They have gone through the most strenuous schedule of any college team in the state and have defeated without exertion teams which had conquered the Broncos. The Upper Room" Drama of the Passion of Christ BANK POLICY IS SUBJECT CHOSEN FOR BIG DEBATE Annual McKinley Medal Contest Now Definitely Set for March 22 in Auditorium The McKinley Gold Medal Debate has been definitely set for March 22, according to an announcement released by Mr. Tom Spohn '30, manager of forensics. The debate is an annual contest for a gold medal, the gift of Ben McKinley, an alumnus and prominent local attorney. The medal is awarded to the best individual debater selected from the six contestants, who compete in the public debate as finalists. Two Teams The debaters as selected in the tryouts held several weeks ago in the college auditorium are: Messrs. F. Colligan '29, J. DeMartini '31, T. Kelleher '31, V. Lafferty '31, F. Silva '31. and F. O'Gara '32 with Messrs. F. Ferrari '32 and C. Brynes '31 as first and second alternates respectively. Mr. Colligan, however, has generously sacrificed his opportunity for individual honors in order that he might devote all his time to preparation for the "Northwestern Debate" which occurs shortly after the "Gold Medal Debate." Mr. Ferrari '32 as first alternate, will succeed him. Subject The subject selected by the debaters is, Resolved: That the policy of the Federal Reserve Bank in curbing stock market speculation is justified. This subject brings up one of the foremost economic questions which has arisen since the inauguration of the Federal Reserve System. It has been widely debated in collegiate circles in the past. The sides of the question as determined by lot are: Affirmative, Messrs. Silva, De Martini and O'Gara; for the negative, Messrs. Kelleher, Ferrari and Lafferty. Last Year It will be remembered that Messrs. De Martini and Lafferty, who are opponents in this contest, are the sole survivors of last year's contest, while Mr. Silva is the winner of the gold medal in the recent oratorical contest. Mr. Garret McEnerney, at present attending the University of California, is the winner of last year's contest, which was restricted solely to lower classmen. Will Enter This year, however, eligibility for the contest was thrown open to the entire student body. Despite this fact no upper-classmen save Mr. Colligan was fortunate enough to survive the competition offered by the lower- classmen. It is to be noted that the teams are each composed of two sophomores and one freshman. "The Enemy/' Channing Pollock's Immortal Drama To Be Staged April 28,29, 30, May 1,2, By College Players as Sixth Production Debate With Santa Clara Team Called Off by Ignatians The debate between Santa Clara and St. Ignatius, set for March 18th, has been called off by St. Ignatius. The debate scheduled to be the first between varsity debating teams of the two institutions in recent years was halted when the Santa Clara debating authorities failed to come to an agreement on a subject for discussion. With Santa Clara off the debating schedule, Manager William B. Spohn of St. Ignatius has only two debates listed for the coming year. On April 1, the St. Ignatius team will debate Northwestern, and later in April will debate with Stanford. Spohn is endeavoring at present to obtain more debates with other colleges. The personnel of the St. Ignatius team has not yet been chosen. The College Players under the direction of James J. Gill will offer for their next vehicle, that powerful masterpiece written by Channing Pollock, "The Enemy." The tentative dates selected for its run are April 28, 29, 30 and May 1 and 2. Place of Presentation Unselected As to whether or not this play will have a downtown run is as yet undecided. Many are in favor of it going in a playhouse somewhere in town while others are oE the opinion that the Little Theatre is the most logical place for its presentation. The advantage of a downtown run is that it should gain an unlimited amount of publicity for St. Ignatius, however at the time of this writing the question is still being debated. World War The play, "The Enemy," hinges about the world war, the scene being laid in Austria. The purpose of Pollock in writing this drama is that he wants to bring out in all vividness the terrible havoc played by war, the dissolving of friendships, the terror of destruction and ruin all play a part in this immortal picturizatlon of the •orld war. Cast The cast which will handle parts in this play is an experienced one because of the difficult roles to interpret. The tentative cast selected by Mr. Gill is as follows: Wally Cameron as Bruce, the young Englishman. This is the lead and Wally should be able to handle it to perfection because those who saw "White Collars" will remember him for his excellent portrayal of Cousin Henry. Dr. Arnot will be played by Arthur Goldstein who is also an experienced man in college productions. His work in "The Copperhead" and "The Rear Car" is still a matter of much favorable comment from all sources. Bernard Carr, who has had experience in "The Hottentot" and "The Rear Car" will also handle a difficult role, that of Carl, the young Austrian playwright. BUCKLEY BROACHES EMPLOYMENT BOARD Alumni Association May Use Influence to Place Ignatian Undergraduates One of the most useful moves ever undertaken by the alumni association got under way at last meeting of the executive association when a committee was appointed to work out plans for an employment board for young graduates. The idea was the brainchild of Mike Buckley, who publicly broached it at the annual banquet at the Hotel Mark Hopkins. No action was taken until recently, but with a committee appointed, results are expected to appear presently. It is not the intent of the alumni association to operate an employment bureau. Rather does the association plan to establish a "contact" or "connection" board, by which students just graduating from St. Ignatius will be made aware of openings by members of the alumni who are already in the game, whatever it may be. Rockne of Notre Dame attributes his success to the fact that there are no women at Notre Dame. He claims that the co-ed is a liability because she takes a lot of the athlete's time either at the expense of his studies, his play or his sleep. Frederica Nestor The feminine lead will be in the hands of Frederica Nestor who is well known to college fans because of her excellent interpretations during the past year, her Ma Shanks in "The Copperhead" was a revelation. There seems to be an exceedingly bright future in store for Miss Nestor as she has already shown her aptitude for difficult roles. Other Roles Other parts in this mammoth production are Behrend, the Austrian politician, which will be played by Malcolm Wilmes, who is a "find" among the college players. He will be remembered for his role of Lawyer Murray in "The Rear Car." Louis Brown will portray the part of Fritz, a young Austrian soldier. Brown was very good both in "White Collars" and "The Rear Car." Last but not least, Francis Kerner, who will have the very difficult role of Jan, who in the later stages of the play becomes maniacal in his description of the battlefields. "Buss" was excellent as Joey in "The Copperhead," and he is now studying an exceedingly hard part in "The Upper Room," that of Samuel. Scenes The scenic effects in this production are to be most elaborate and no effort is being spared to make this the banner play of the year. Alumni Organizes; Gets Out Paper to Record New Activities Shifting his scene of journalistic activities William N. Connolly, '28, has taken over the editing of the new "Ignatian Alumnus," a paper devoted exclusively to activities of the alumni association and members of St. Ignatius College. The new Ignatiaii publication made its first appearance last week,, and will continue on a monthly basis. Its purpose is to draw the Ignatian alumnus together to back all St. Ignatius activities. SACRED DRAMA TO BE PLAYED MARCH 11,12,14 Monsignor Benson's Pictorial of the Passion Is Latest Vehicle Final rehearsals are now being held for "The Upper Room" which is to be offered for the approval of Ignatian fans on March 11, 12, and 14th with a matinee on the 10th. Popular Play. This drama of the Passion of Christ which was written by Monsignor Hugh Benson has.been a Lenten vehicle of little theatre groups for many years and has been thoroughly approved and commended as an appropriate Lenten offering. So much is thought of the production that professional casts have "worked" this play to good advantage because of the marvelous opportunity it affords for acting. Pantomine The actual dialogue of the play is surprisingly short as it can be read through completely within half an hour. This, however, is unnoticeable for the reason that pantomine fills in to a great extent to stretch it out to cover the time necessary to run an average length play. Do not be misled by the foregoing statement because pantomine is a very essential element in this production as every gesture has a particular meaning and unless they are followed intently much is liable to be missed. If any of the readers are acquainted with the play "The Cradle Song" they will understand just how essential pantomine is to make a production of this type a success Experienced Cast The cast working in this play are for the most part experienced. Gabrielle Greefkens who will portray the difficult role of Mary, has had varied experience in theatre work and will be remembered for her work as the sister-in-law in "White Collars." Val King as Achaz took a difficult role in "The Copperhead," that of Gillespie and handled it with the ease of a professional. Malcolm Wilmes can be depended upon to give a good account of himself in the role of Peter because of his excellence as Lawyer Murray in the "Rear Car," how could anyone forget his deep, resonant voice. Francis Kerner made a decided hit as "Joey" in "The Copperhead" and should have little difficulty in doing the part of Samuel. (Continued on page 2. column 3) Professor Haley, Recovered From Illness, Will Return to Zoology Department Soon Professor George Haley, M.A., head of the zoology department, who was near death for several days two months ago, is now almost completely recovered and his return to work at St. Ignatius College is expected soon. Professor Haley incurred a case of blood poisoning while working in the laboratory. He was dissecting a monkey, which was diseased, and a cut in his hand left him open to infection. So seriously was he ill that it was thought that a blood transfusion would be necessary, and over fifty students answered the call. It was not needed however. Except for the hand which was the source of his infection, Professor Haley is almost entirely recuperated. He has not the use of the hand infected. As a result of his illness, his proposed trip to Greenland has been called off.
