HOPPE DIES SUDDENLY
We extend our deepest sympathy to
Mr. Hoppe, whose brother, Mr. J. Werner
Hoppe, died at 11:45 last Tuesday at a
Spokane hotel. He has been ill for sev­eral
months with throat trouble and has
undergone several operations. He leaves
a vacancy in Cheney Normal that will
be hard to fill.
Mr. Hoppe's mother will return with
him and make her home here for the
winter.

Dr. Nash returned Saturday morning
from an extended tour of eastern Wash­ington
and Oregon. He attended Stev­ens
County Institute, where he found
many of our Normal students, all doing
excellent work. From there he went to
Monmouth Normal, in southern Oregon,
by way of Spokane where he saw Mr.
Hoppe and his brother, whose death has
since saddened us.
Mr. Ackerman, president of the Mon­mouth
Normal, entertained Dr. Nash
while there. He was very interested in
the work being done there and especially
tells us of the assembly where "only
one person who was supposed to be there
was absent." From his glowing account
they certainly have things well system­atized
and are doing wonderful work.
When returning, Dr. Nash stopped at
the Vancouver High School He found
there the most complete and up-to-date
printing department that he has seen in
any of the schools. They print a semi­monthly,
twelve-page paper, "High School

AD-VANTAGES
Students and Faculty of the W. S. N. S.
Greetings:
In business as well as pleasure the spirit of co-operation
should rule.
At the mixer last week, to which the Chamber of Com­merce
so kindly invited you Faculty Folk, Dean Woodard
brought to the attention of the business men, the fact that
the students spend $11,000 every month for the necessities
of life—aside from the luxuries and pleasures. The business
men of Bellingham are getting this money. SOME are
showing their appreciation of it by helping to get the Messen­ger
to you every week; others, by letting the Messenger run
itself and expecting the trade to come their way out of the
goodness of your hearts. Can your hearts stand all this
goodness? Remember "Co-op" should be YOUR watchword.

TWO MORE STARS
In the list of Normal men in the ser­vice
which appeared in the Messenger ot
last week, the name of Lieut. Louis
Gloman was accidently omitted. Surely
we cannot afford to neglect one as well
known to us as Mr. Gloman, much less
one of our boys who wears the shoulder
straps. According to a telegram re­ceived
last Saturday by his mother, he
is now on his way to France.
A report from another one of our
boys reads as follows:
George Connell, a former Bellingham
student, has enlisted in the navy and
is at the Naval Training Station, San
Francisco, Cal., Camp D.

BASKET BALL GAME
The Normal basketball team opened
the season last Tuesday evening by a
game with the Fairhaven High School
at Lowell gymnasium. The team, while
it did not display a very great amount
of team work, showed signs of speed
and accuracy which will no doubt make
it a championship team when teamwork
has been instilled.
The holding and rushing tactics of
Fairhaven made high scoring impossible.
In the first half the Normal team ap­peared
much heavier than the South Side
team, but in the second half with Aplin
and Frye in place of Kennett and Olt­man
the teams were very evenly match­ed
in size, but in scoring the advantage
was the same.
Kennett, last season's star, made five
field goals and two foul throws in the
first half. Miller made five field goals
and four foul throws during the game.
These men led the scoring.
Bartruff. a new man from Ferndale,
played a star game at guard. Hughes
at center showed himself a heady player
as well as being speedy and clean. He
tossed the ball through the hoop five
times.
Oltman and Frye at guard showed an
ability to stay by their men and break
up difficult plays. Aplin handled the
ball well and made two field goals in
the one half he played.
Another feature of the game was
Johnny Miller's accurate shooting from
the center of the floor.
The teams lined ivp as follows:
Normal—Kennett and J. Miller,
wards; Hughes, center; Oltman
Bartruff, guards. Aplin and Fry went
in for Kennett and Oltman the second
half.
Fairhaven—Jenkins, Faltonsky, G. Mil­ler,
forwards; Starkey, center; Burpee
and Lewis, guards.
