ALL-COMPANY BASKETBALL
TEAM.
All-Company Basketball Players to be
Selected April 10—Much Interest
Shown.
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-

velop their respective teams. 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.

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.
