"*v; . . Coach Not Optimistic
: Coach.'.'Lappenbusch is. none too
optimistic about Monday's game. He
plate" to start his-regular first string
but with . intentions. of substituting
the lirst moment that any player
slips up. on his. assignment.
J;Vander,Griend, who has improved
very fast lately, w|li De at forward
along.with Eitzer. Both boys. are
capable'of finding the hoop fre
quently, and if they are having a
. good evening the Vikings should end
the game victorious. Anderson w.ill
have to be. continually, on .his toes
at center as he will be playing op­posite
the 6-foot-4 Seattle man Ax-elson,
who is rated highly by
those who,have watched him play
Moser and Sollie will be at their
usual positions in the back court.
. Seattle Confident
"Seattle's 23 to 19 victory over Bel­lingham
last week has given them
confidence in themselves and they
will be hard to beat. Their disadvan­tages
are,that this will be their first
game away from home, this season,
and, ..they will be playing on a floor
much larger than they, are accus
tomed to. They have few block or
tip-off plays but have a very fast
team on both the offensive and der
fensive! and defensive.

The Normal Varsity basketball
quintet were a few points behind
the Logger hoopsters when the final
gong rang in Monday night's game,
ending the season for the C. P. S.
five.
The Viking machine clicked in
the early part of the game to be­wilder
the Logger five, and to hold
a slight lead, but the Loggers man­aged
to overcome the lead and
tightened their defense. During the
first half Vandef Griend, Viking
forward, was closely guarded by Old
Man Tough Luck. What looked like
sure shots turned out to be only
close. The first session ended 14-12,
C. P. S. holding a two-point lead.
Starting the second half, Stan
Bates, rangy center for the Loggers,
proved too much for. the -Normal
five by getting through their de­fense
for several beautiful one-handed
push shots, garnering four­teen
points for high point, honors
during the game.
Valkyrie Skating Party

The date of Wednesday, April 4,

The regular meeting of the Blue
Triangle club has been postponed
until Wednesday, March 7. This will
be the second meeting to be held in
the reconditioned playhouse back of
the Normal. Henny Lund will be
in charge of entertainment.
The, Jast. meeting was a gala af­fair,
being in the form of a house-warming
party for the new meeting
place. This new den was said to be
a very picturesque and suitable place
for the program that followed,
which consisted of the reactions of
the club members to books, mostly
poetry, recently read. The evening
was topped off with refreshments
of not dogs arid marshmallpws.

New Constitution
Is Commented
On by Students
Interviews Indicate Constitution
Meets favorably With,
Student Body
FOUR GIVE OPINION
No action will be taken until next
quarter on the proposed new con­stitution,
which made, its appear­ance
last Friday. When the assem­bly
schedule osc made out for next
quarter, provision will be made for
a discussion of the merits of the new
plani ; i. •
. , Comments were varied. Vernon
Leatha said: "I, think the new con­stitution
will serve better than the
type of incorporation permissible by
the. trustees. I do not favor. the
enlarging of membership of the
Board of Control. It would be cum­bersome
as well as an added ex­pense.
But I still think it would be
easier and shorter to make-a con­stitution
telling us what we can do,
instead of what we can't do."
Harriet Rickerson: "I like the
new Board of Control idea of having
a few women serve on it. The only
way they would ever get on this
board would be through action of
this kind. I also like the way the
new constitution provides for the
budget to be made up the first of
May for the whole year."
Jack Faulkner: "As a whole I
think it is much improved over the
old one. Electing two new repre­sentatives
every quarter leaves
enough experience on the board and
gives more people a chance to par­ticipate
in school offices. The plan
of having a woman elected every
quarter to the board gives the wom­en
of this school an equality they've
never had before."
Bill Pierron: "The new constitu­tion
is a remarkably fine reform.
I have no doubt that it will com­pletely
change the way student af­fairs
are managed at present."
The committee that formulated
the new constitution were as fol­lows:
Miss Nora B. Cummins, James
Bever, Edward J. Arntzen, John W.
Christy, Otto Finley and Dick Al­bert.
Student Loan Made
Those Desiring Loan for Fees
Should Apply
Students who are sure that
they will need to borrow, money
for fees for the spring quarter
should get application cards
from the business office and
discuss it with Miss Piatt,
chairman of the loan commit­tee,
before having their cards
filed at the office.
Students not sure that they
will need a loan for fees may
make applications at the begin­ning
of the quarter. The ap­plications
will be considered at
the first meeting of the quar­ter.
All students making such
loans then" must" pay a late reg­istration
fee of $1. ,. ,
Fees fQr, next .quarter are
approximately the same as last,
with a minimum of $13.

Failure to Make Many Cinch Shots
Proves to.be Fatal
Pacific Lutheran college outscored
the Vikings, 32 to 29, Tuesday night
at Parkland and ; made it two
straight victories for Tacoma teams
over the Normal five.
Many shots that should have
proved good for points were missed
by the Teachers. The Vikings start­ed
out in true form and scored five
points before P. L. C. could get
going, but the lead soon dwindled
and from then on see-sawed until
half time, which ended 18-all. Mpe
was the sparkplug of the Lutherans
during the first half by making
twelve of the team's eighteen points.
At the beginning of the second
half the Lutherans gained the lead
and held it throughout the remain­der
of the game.
Moe proved to be the best of­fensive
man on the Lutheran team
by scoring fourteen of his team's
thirty-two points,

To Be Success
Says Chairman
Drama Club's Initial Performance Of
Shakespearian Farce Is Commended
By Wm. Pierron
The initial performance of Shake­speare's
farce, "The Taming of the
Shrew" last night exceeded my ex­pectations
and I recommend that
everyone who didn't see it last night
and who wants an evening of good
slapstick entertainment,' attend its
last presentation' tonight.
'Undoubtedly, the best acting was
that of Boyd Swanson, whose por­trayal
of Petruchio, the violent tam­er,
could hardly hayje been more
superb. Orvin Messegee did very
well as the clownish servant, Grumio
and Ann Matheson as Kate, the
Shrew, Marshall Bacon as the ven­erable
father Baptista, and Ralph
Hofman as Gremio, all acted their
parts very creditably.
The. other players all did fairly
well although there were a, few
places where there seemed to be
slight falterings and uncertainty in

Italian Violinist Is Due
! at Assembly Program
for Coming Tuesday
Making his first appearance in
Bellingham; Victor DePinto, violin­ist,
will play at the assembly Tues­day
March 6. DePinto, though born
in Italy, has adopted this country
as his own. Numbering among his
instructors Guiliano, Ludwig, Beck-en,
and Seblad, he brings character
and romanticism from the Old
World.
Added to his sincerity is his splen­did
stage presence that never fails
to please an audience. Mr. DePinto's
program will .probably combine the
emotional ^qualities of the Old World
with the freshness arid vigor of tiis
adoptedcc^iiy..
For ! ^ yotuif: man, Mr. DePinto
holds an unu§iial position. He is rated
high ainong j;he; present day violin
artist %y.^tousio critics^ and, the news?;
papers; hiyWgiyj^
tatlbn. .'• JPTOTQL JPS^vious wiriteups, the
artist pVopiise«^an interesting en-the
spoken dialogue. These were
negligible, however, and the per­formance
tonight will no doubt be
a good deal smoother than last
night's.
The directors are to be commend­ed
for the regularity and the rapid­ity
with which the play progressed.
It held one's interest from the start
and never dragged. The settings
were all well done, particularly the
banquet scene, and the costumes
were extremely colorful.
The play is, of course, one of
Shakespeare's most artificial and
silliest farces but I confess that I
laughed more uproariously last
night than I have at any Normal
school play, not even excepting
"Beggar on Horseback". The mus­ical
numbers of Elizabethan compos­ers
rendered by Mr. Bushell's sex­tette
were quite appropriate for the
occasion.
I would like to suggest for next
quarter, if possible, that we .attempt
some modern American satiric or
realistic play—for example, ; some­thing
by John Howard Lawson, Sid­ney
Howard, Elmer Rice, or, George
Kaufman (but not Philip Barry).

League of Nations
Team Takes Norge
Quintet Into Gamp
It would seem that the Swedes
and Norwegians finally met in a
hot battle yesterday in the little
gym. Or it might be better to say
that a Swede and four Norwegians
met. Coach Lindsley's team could
be better called the League of Na­tions,

himself), represents almost all .'the
