HUMOROUS  MAGAZINE 

IS WELL  RECEIVED 

On  registration  day  The  Green  Onion 
made  its  first  appearance  on  the  Campus. 
It  is  intended  by  the  editors  that  this  pub 
lication  shall  be  printed  once  each  month 
during  the  college  year  and  their  first  ef 
fort  tends  to  support  their  conviction  that 
further  numbers  will  be  forthcoming. 
The  January  number  is  interesting 

and 
epoch  marking. 
It  is  the  first  time  a  maga-

students  of  M.  A.  C.  with  the  idea  of  pub

been  willing  to  allow  their  names  to  appear.

mittees  and  sessions  in  the  executive  office 
of  the  College,  this  time  there  is  an  aban

that  the  matter  has  the  tacit  approval  of

VARSITY  BASKETBALL 

TEAM  LOSES  TWICE 
St.  Mary's  basketball  team  administered 
the  first  defeat  it  has  been  able  to  put  over 
against  M.  A.  C.  when  it  outscored 
the 
Green  and  White  21  to  13  on  the  East 
Lansing  court,  January  10.  St.  Viator's 
repeated  its  triumph  of  last  year,  on  Jan 
uary  13,  scoring  a  23  to  18  win.  T he  first 
of  these  games  was  characterized  by  a  lack 
of  offensive  power  during  the  first  half  and 
an  attempt  to  run  up  the  score  by  relin 
quishing  defensive  tactics 
second 
half.  Both  games  were  marked  by  a  lack 
of  ability  on  the  part  of  the  M.  A.  C,  five 
to  get  the  ball  into  the  basket  on  compara 
tively  easy  shots  although  the  visitors  suf

fallen  below  the  standard  he  set  up  on  pre

team  work  was  better  but  who  lacked  the 
polish  on  the  offense  which  the  crowd  has 
come  to  expect  of  Nuttila.

St.  Viator's  carried  with

artists  of  unusual  skill.  Their  goals  ac

In  the 
second  half  Richards'  work  put  the  home 
team  in  the  lead  but  the  offensive  staged 
by  the  visitors  overcame  this  advantage  in 
the  closing  minutes  of  play.  Frederick,  a 
sophomore,  appeared  in  his  first  game  for 
the  varsity  and  exhibited  skill  which  marks 
him  as  a  regular  at  guard.  He  will  prob

The  M.  A.  C.  team  has  not  yet  reached 
the  point  in  development  which  stamps  it 
as  one  of  the  really  good  teams  but  the 
improvement 
the  men 
against  St.  Viator's  indicates  there  is  still 
hope  that  it  will  prove  a  worthy  combina 
tion  this  season.  Coach  Kobs  has  had  a 
difficult 
task  in  shaping  the  work  of  the 
squad  to  his  system  which  involves  a  con 
siderable  change  in  methods  of  play  over 
those  used  the  past  two  years.
