Hasty rebuilding of a shattered squad has been the task of John Kobs since the scholarship committee weilded the axe over the heads of five of his best prospects. This disaster, coupled with the slow return into shape of the three veterans who were laid the coach injuries, has caused up with many sleepless nights and days of worry. Now that Hackett, Frederick and Marx are in fair physical condition Kobs' job has been somewhat lightened but the task of building up a complete team is still far from bright looking. The eligibility cut greatly increased the number of candidates all at once. Some of this new material is gratifying but in the main the early sea son reserves must bear the brunt of the work. Against St. Viator's on January 9 the followers by State quintet surprised its winning, 30-27. In this game Kobs used several men for the first time. A gratify ing result of his hasty team building was the adeptness at which the short passing game was continued throughout the game.

It might be more to the point to ask, where do these theorists get the idea that in the life of an individual there is such a factor as college spirit. An Alumnus is a person (either masculine or feminine, according to the most recent interpretation) who has received a degree from an institution of higher learning. It may be one of t he various academic appendages conferred by the faculty or it may be an in dividual appellation presented by his classmates before t he College In made up its mind t h at he was eligible for the regulation honor. any case .An Alumnus t he is one who has extracted something from atmosphere of a college which is not absorbed by the one who merely lives in a college town. One entitled to this distinction h as qualifies- tions other than those necessary to win the approval of t he faculty and outstanding among these is college spirit. This prolongs the argument, for college spirit is a much abused term. The true n a t u re of t he ailment h as never been definitely de cided, it is an infection which causes the heart to palpitate, an ir resistible force which brings the victim to his feet when Alma Mater is played or sung, a chronic inflammation which had its inception when the alumnus was yet an undergrad and walked across the Campus on a bright spring day or waded through the snowdrifts after a January storm. More t h an this it exerts a mysterious influence which in later years draws the important events of college days into focus, sorting out individuals and occasions but blending the whole into a tapestry It constitutes—and draws to itself woven from fondest memories. strength—the bonds which draw the graduate to his alma mater.
