This year has been a very successful one in company basketball, a great deal more interest having been shown than was formerly the case. There were plenty of games, and nearly all of them were hard fought and snappy. So many excellent players were de veloped in these company games that it is a difficult matter to pick an all company team and be fair to all. In an effort to do so, however, eighteen men have been picked, and a game and to be played, in which each of these men will participate. As a re sult of this game, six players will be selected from these eighteen men as an all-company team. Mr. Steger, with two assistants, will act as judges. These six men will be selected on in dividual merits alone, regardless of whether or not they are on the win ning team. Two managers, G. C. Palmer and “Doc” Sanders, each have charge of ' nine men, from whom they will de- Dr. W. H.

The manager who’s team wins will be awarded with a small basketball with his name and “All-Company Basketball Manager, 1914-1915” en graved on it. In like manner, each of the six players will be given a silver basketball with name and position engraved on same. Palmer’s Team. Sanders’ Team. Splawn Lockett Center. Burns Guard. Allan (Capt.)

A SECOND-HAND BOOK EXCHANGE Several thousand books have to be bought here in September and Febru ary of every year, and because of the price as compared with new books, many students buy second-hand books. Some students prefer new books, and, as a rule, these students do not care to sell their old text boks, but pre serve them. On the other hand, there are students who have old books they would like to sell and who would like to buy secondhand books, but it is often difficult to find a purchaser for the old text books one has, and to secure ex actly what he himself wants, because of the number of students in attend ance. This last is especially true of the Freshmen, because they are unac quainted with the upper-classmen ir September, and because the Freshmer are unfamiliar with conditions herej there is much room in them to b€ cheated on a sale of old books. Next September there will be no one from whom the Seniors can buj second-hand books, and those who are Seniors now certainly will not be here next year to dispose of their old textl books, if they cared to sell theml Juniors will not buy them in June, bej cause a person rarely buys an article that he will not need immediately, unj less he gets it at a very low bargain. Our present exchange store, which| by the way, is an exchange store onlj in the sense that money is a mediui of exchange, could easily handle sec| ond-hand books, old drawing instrv ments and other similar articles on commission basis and remedy all thd above mentioned conditions, thereby aiding many students in a financial way and saving them much trouble.
