VALENTINE SEMI-FORMAL TONIGHT AT 9

First place went to the Univer- sity of Pennsylvania varsity, which edged Notre Dame in the finals. Next in order, were Yale, Penn State, Princeton, Boston Universi- ty, and Wilkes.

Twenty-two teams from colleges and universities participated at the invitation of the Universitr of Boston. Teams were graded on ana- lysis, knowledge and evidence, reasoning, adapting to opposing case, skill in refution and speaking slill.

The Wilkes debators won a co- veted Certificate of Merit. The a- ward, given by the University of Boston annually, is granted to those teams which achieve an aver- age rating of excellent or superior in the tournament.

Morgan and Davis, debating on both the affirmative and negative sides, were beaten in competition by Vermont and Boston Universi- ty and were edged out by Yale University by a slim four-point margin. The topic for all delates was, "Resolved, that the non-Com- munist nations should form a new international organization."

In placing seventh, Wilkes climb- ed four positions over last year's results when it finished eleventh.

WRITER'S!! ATTENTION!!

All students including the new freshmen are reminded, if they are interested in writ- ing, to contribute their liter- ary compositions to the MA- NUSCRIPT magazine. If you would really like to see your work in print, drop it in the Manuscript box at the library. Deadline is April 10, but you know how "Tempus fugit".

Important! Potential Manu- script writers are requested to make a carbon copy of their

contributions since we will not be able to return them. The Spring issue will present a variety of literary material but it is up to you to deter- mine the type of work that will be published. So start in those short stories, poems, character sketches, articles of all sorts, or anything else that you consider worthy of atten- tion. Remember! The founda- tion of your literary skills is laid in college; opportunity is knocking once, this year. Let's take advantage of it! Every- one is bound to be excited about the one and only issue of the year in its new Spring color!

If we don't all hang together - don't sink our major differences and our creed, race and economic prejudices so as to concentrate on the struggle to bring world Com- munism's tragic dupes into the sunlight of truth and liberty - then we are more than likely to hang separately, and in many cases painfully.

BROTHERHOOD FOR SURVIVAL

By CARL M. SAUNDERS Editor, Jackson (Mich.) Citizen Patriot

At Anzio and Okinawa, and Inchon and Taegonno man asked of his comrade on his right or on his left: "Are you Catho- lic or Baptist; Jew or Episcopalian?" No man asked aught. All had faithand understanding.

A wounded comrade cried for help from the battle zone. Those two, or half dozen, who bravely crawled through enemy fire to rescue him never paused to question his religion, his color or his race.

In Korea, too, as in the battle zones of that last World War, fighting men paused in the rear lines to listen to the "Mammy" singing of a man now deadAl Jolson. Nobody called Al Jol-

son a Jew though his father had been a cantor in the syna- gogue. They called him greata great American.

Yet back home there are those who divide themselves from others who are as loyal to democratic ideals, as faithful to Amer- ican dreams. They mentally point a scornful finger and say "They are not like us; they are Jews"or Methodists or Cath- olics.

That is where brotherhood must beginin the minds of iIen and women. Superficial surfc&ce fraternizing is meaningless. It serves no lasting purpose to gather once a year with arms en- twined and to dwell vocally upon the virtues of brotherhood if what is said and done then ends there.

The true spirit of Brotherhood Week is based on under- standing. It must be deep in the heart and in the mind, func- tioning not just today or in Brotherhood Week but through all the days and weeksfunctioning for America in the American pattern of tolerance and understanding.

By GROVE PATTERSON Editor-in-Chief ,The Toledo Blade

In a talk with Gen. Douglas MacArthur the most striking and memorable thing I heard him say was this: "Man has at last made the great discovery; he has discovered how to de- stroy everything that he has created."

That remark came back to me when I read about Brother- hood Week which is promoted each year by the National Con- ference of Christians and Jews. There has always been reason enough for a feeling of brotherhood in the world. After all, the same old fabric of human nature reaches across all the borders 'd,f the earth. Those of us who were born in America or those who have come to this country to make their home, owe more to luck and to chance than is usually admitted. That I did not happen to be born in the most impenetrable part of Africa or in a Siberian village or in Tibet or the less accessible part of China is a mere matter of luck. It is nothing that I can properly boast about. It certaini wasn't because I was smart or thoughtful or farseeing. It just happened that my parents were who they were and that I was born where I was born.

I hardly see how I or anybody else has any right or reason to look down on someone who did not happen to be so fortun- zte. The same thought applies to the hundreds of thousands

who were born here in America and are in circumstances not quite so fortunate as ours. We are lucky.

Our behavior is up to us; we are responsible for it. But our

race and nationality are a matter of chance. Why shouldn't we be brothers, not only for an international Brotherhood Week but for all weeks? What else can we be? What else makes sense?

We are all in the same boat. We had better be brothers, or what chance have any of us to survive? Without brother- hood, life can well pass out as no more than an interesting inci-

dent on a subsequently ñiined planet.

TIME FOR STUDIES

An appreciable decline in the morale and scholastic work on college campuses 'throughout the nation has been apparent as a result of the uncertain conditions existing in the world. Thoughts of impending induction into the Armed Forces have definitely been interrupting the normal processes of students, resulting in lowered grades and declining spirits.

From the University of Oklahoma comes a report that forty- six per cent of the student body there came through with "D" or "F" grades, while similar statements have been forthcoming from other institutions of learning. This situation is unfortunate, particularly in a grave lime such as this, in which education can be made a leading force for world recovery.

The Armed Forces wants and needs college-trained men to fill the positions of highest responsibility. The wisest course for men facing induction into service is, almost certainly, to extend their college preparation as much as possible, thus qualifying themselves for better positions in military service and better posi- tions upon their military discharge.

To neglect one's education at this time is folly, for time wasted here cannot be regained. Similarly, to allow our educa- tion to stop when inducted into military service is an unwise course to pursue. Educational opportunities in the Armed Forces are available and the thinking person will take advantage of them.

SENIOR CLASS PLANS GALA EVENT

FOR MARCH 9; BASKETBALL FEATURED

It seems that the boundless energy of the Senior Class is once more to be loosed on campus. Dormant since their sport dance in October, the Seniors are out again to maintain their reputation for tackling the unusual. In fact, they'll probably surpass their reputation this time.

Scheduled for March 9 is some of 'the -wierdest entertainment yet conceived. On that Friday night the Faculty All Stars will pit their skill and stamina against Half a Ton of Seniors in a basketball game such as we have never wit- nessed. It has leaked out that both teams, meeting behind locked doors are planning the most deucedly clever basketball strategy of the century - perhaps the 16th.

And after the game, then, there will be dancing. Thus shall the grief be charmed out of the losing team's supporters. Of course, those who support the winning team will undoubtedly be allowed to dance as well. However, if they are un- able to, they can probably remedy their deficiencies by registerinig at the local Fred Astaire Studio.

But no matter what eventually happense that night, delirium will surely reign - that is, unless the

weather turns cold suddenly. But even then consolation can be found in the old farmer's philosophy a- bout the snow: if it keeps up it can't come down.

This may be getting a little con- fused. But then, the night of the ninth will likely be confused, too. At least, it is toward that goal which the Seniors, in order to please their patrons, are laboring.

Prejudice, hatred and intoler- ance are completely alien to the real American character. They have cropped out at numerous times and doubtless will be ap- pearing hereafter. But they are a minority sentiment, a grating discordant note in the prevailing harmony of the American theme. Roy A. Roberts

ECCFS and ECI1LES By PAUL B. BEERS

Once upon a time a king gave a character named John Wilkes a very hard time. In fact, time after time Wilkes got messed up good and proper. But that was over two hundred years ago. Somehow the guy showing the film got it upside-down and backwards and it came out that Wilkes was the guy dishing out all the punishment. Every- body was ready to holler "robber" until they picked up their Sunday newspaper and saw "Wilkes Beats Ing's." This was very unusual. The King had a hand-picked army and he fed them plenty of green 'abbage to make them nice and big and healthy, whereas Wilkes iust had a bunch of crummy students who were ragged, tired, over- vorked, and very much in need of some nice green cabbage. Nobody 'ould expect .'battered Wilkes to give the mighty Kingsmen any rouble. A while back they had had a little skirmish on a gridiron nd Wilkes' men with that "lean and hungry" look had thumped the nighty Kingsmen, 14-12. But in the higher circles this was looked tpon with contempt. Madam Nosedrop herself had said, "Wait until he King gets Mr. Wilkes on a hardwood floor." Well, they did last aturday night. The final score: Wilkes 64, King's 62.

It is the dear boy's opinion that Wilkes won that game with some mart thinking and that King's lost it with some dumb playing. There ye were with only a minute and a half left in the game. King's had he ball and the Colonels' lead of 63-62 looked mighty small. Then tame the turning point. Eddie Davis, right on the ball every minute f that game, stole the old sphere from a Monarch in mid-court and ustled up to put in a lay-up. Here's where King's pulled its bones'.

)avis had everybody beat and it was asure shot, but two of the ingsmen fouled him to prevent a score. If Davis had scored, King's 'ould have gotten the ball and, given a few breaks, might have been lyle to make up the three-point deficit. But the way it stood, Wilkes ad one foul shot coming and the ball would be waved out for the econd one. The Coionels couldn't lose in such a situation, as Mr. )evis is very adapt at tossing in foul shots and freezi,ng time after- rards. The topper came when King's captain, Bob McGrane, became ery unsociable and was asked to leave the game by Referee Harry udolph. Harry tacked a technical on it, and the old ballgame was 1 sewed up for little old Wilkes College. But if Davis hadn't been 'verely placed on the seat of his pants, they might be playing the ame yet. That Wilkes' victory was very delLigthtful in a number of ways. In e first place, every seat was taken in the new gym, which means number of extra pennies for 'Mr. Kersteen and hi's starving budget. ien too, King's got it sight on the noggin, where every other Wilkes am has put their one-two punch. And finally, some of the boys oved to Ralston that they can play some beautiful basketball. Al tsper and Big Zig did 'a nice job of snagging the rebounds in that t quarter. Their big mitts kept the Colonels afloat. It was speedy 'n Batroney who paced the club in that rough first period. Without

points the Colonels m'ig1ht have built up a deficit that couldn't be ercome. And you must admit that Jake Bator has even Reggie yr beat as a floor man. Captain Charlie Jackson again figured ),minently in a hoop upset over King's. Charlie picked up stray balls 'e and ther that were vital to the Colonels' cause. For the fourth sight King's game Bouncing Bob Benson was tossed out of the ne. This means that Robert was hot, because a scrapper like he is er lasts until the final gong. Petrilak was Petrilak, which is a

ng that meows around the campus half.asleep but has enough nthusiasm on a basketball court to melt the varnish. Parker's 14

points and his lovely floor game made Wilkes victory-bound. Please notice that he outscored his man, Mr. Robert McGrane. But the super star of the evening was Eddie Davis. Eddie played the kind of ball you can't possibly beat. All night long he was snatching balls right under the noses of confident Kingsmen. He took his share of rebounds, set up plays, calmed down other Colonels, and scored 18 points. By the end of the game he was punchy himself, but he put on a freeze that made Rocco English cuddle up closer to his wallet. Ah, it was a wonderful evening. Wasn't it, George?

P.S. As quoted in the January 12th issue of the Beacon: "King's will get the old Ralston treatment on the 10th in our gym. You can expect a Wilkes victory, as the Kingsmen were very lucky in the last one. Check us, darling, it's Wilkes by 8 points." Sorry boys, but was 6 points off. Will improve that on the next one.

COLONEL MATMEN

HAVE GOOD RECORD

'Laggan's boys opened the season y playing rag mop for the mon-

;ters from Millersville. Ted Rupp's rew was the classiest thing seen ii the Wilkes gym yet. To George Dvorsniak goes all our love for ;poiling the visitor's afternoon vith a beautiful pin job. But the oloneis whipped back into form y rolling over Swarthmore, 23-10. aptain Zip Cromack, George Mc- Iahon and Bob Javor all had bush-

Os of fun pinning their men. La- ayette was next. They got the ld Laggan's lightning to the shock f 2i2-6. The Zipper and Mac again urned in pins. Still on the same erip, the Colonels bounced Wyo- ning Seminary. Sem never had a 'anee. The score was 22-5. Fresh >b Javor was the only Colonel do any pinning, and he had to told by referee Billy Lee that

o did it. It wasn't that Bob was unchy, but Sem's great Marvin

Branche tried a leg pin and ended up like the butcher who backed up into his work. Next on the list was East Stroudsburg. They got the works, 29-5. Newcomer Stan Schiosser, Zip Cromack, Bob Ja- vor, and that same old :George Mc- Mahon registered pins. By now the fans considered any Colonels who didn't pin his man purely second - rate. But the winning streak of four meets had to stop no Wilkes team o the past year has been able to hit even that. Powerful West Chester was the cause. 'While Ralston's Kernals were at Ilome administering the coup de grace to King's, the wrest- lers had to take it through the nose, 6-22. The two Georges were the only consultations that Wilkes had. Both Dvorsniak and McMahon won by decisions. February 10, 1951 was an awfully great day for guys named George. Ask Geo- rge Ralston.

The weakness of the Colonels so far has been the 123-pound spot. Rocky Reynolds, a standout fresh- man of last year, came up with an

WILKES COLLEGE BEACON

WILKES BEATS KING'S

IN RED HOT CONTEST

The game was decided off the backboards as the shorter Wilkes squad consistently out-jumped and out-hustled their taller opponents. Eddie Davis and "Big Park" Pe- trilak were the spark plugs which kept the Wilkes quintet traveling at a speed which finally broke down the King's machine. Eddie was hitting well from the outside and he sparked a fast break which kept King's off balance all night. Petrilak helped the cause with a series of newly developed jump shots, and he accounted for the majority of the Wilkes rebounds.

Wilkes trailed throughout most of the game. The margin was slim, but the King's quintet managed to stay ahead when Davis dropped a long shot to tie the game at 30 all.

The King's squad pulled ahead to a six point lead at the beginning of the third quarter, but they were unable to widen the gap. Late in the final period, King's scored three fast baskets, Wilkes kept in the running primarily through the efforts 'of Bobby Benson who sank three consecutive one hand set shots from the side.

The game went into the last 6 minutes with Wilkes trailing 61-55 but the Colonels put on a final spurt which netted them 9 points to the Monarchs 1. After Wilkes took the lead 64-62, McGrane fol- lowed Benson to the showers as he committed his fifth personal foul. With only seconds remaining, a King's player missed an easy lay- up. Petrilak took the rebound and threw it the length of ihe floor. 'The clock ran out as the King's team attempted to get back in scoring p'osition.

Communiques from the Colonels' Camp

The Wilkes victory Saturday was the raw result of the hustle and spirit 'of 10 men who went out to win a game and did just that. Four men were in the double fig- ure column,: Bartroney, Benson, Petrilak and Davis.

Parlçer Petrilak has developed from a good reh'ound, n'o shot man into a dead-eye of the team. By our oO'unt he missed only three shots Saturday nigh't. We may have missed a few, but he certainly didn't miss many. His fade-away jump shot is something new. It had the King's defense completely baffled.

When King's m'eets Wilkes, the Colonels seem to :h'aul out the truaty old jinx and beat a battered old lion to death with it. It's get- ting to be a habit. The new title for the basketball team, "the lion tamers".

'Gene Snee wound Uip with one pass during, Saturday's game that hit the banking board at the end 'of the gym. We figured that it was a shot; there were only about 30 seconds 'left to play in the quarter. Some spectators thought, however, that 'Gene was getting the jump on spring training.

injury in pre-season practice and he has been forced to sit the sea- son out. This 'has hurt. Lovable Skinny Ennis, filling in for Rocky, improved 'a hundred fold, once even turning in a draw; but Skin- ny has been forced to retire from sports due to a heavy c'hest cold and a couple of final exams that were not so cold. Joe Reynolds, no relation 'of Rockswell, has taken Skinny's place, if that's possible, and Coach Laggan is just hoping that Joe can fill the bill.

The strongest spot on the ros- ter is the 17 division. Mighty Mouse MeMahon is j'ust unconquer- able. 'So far, George's man has heard the thump of the referee three times. Twice George slipped up and only won by a decision. Will La Rock get rocked? And if Mac ever gets a heavy chest cold or a couple of final exams that aren't so cold, wthdch is slicing an "if" pretty thin, Laggan will have Bill Foote to fill in. There are no worries concerning the 167 pound class.

WOMEN BASKETEERS

LOSE TO MISERY

The Wilkes College Girls' Bask- etball team introduced the distaff side of the cage game last Satur- day afternoon at two p.m. The girls lost a rather one-sided c'ontest to Miseric'ordia, 40-14. The game, while not an exhibition of skill, deserved reams of praise as the girl's put up a noble batle against a fr more experienced club. Two girls, Joan Brewster and Marilyn Twomey, carried off the scoring honors for Misericordia. Brewster made a specialty of sinking one handed push shots. Twothey, on the other hand, utilized a driving under hand hook shot which was any- thing but orthodox. thing but orthodox. West and Gre- gory lead the Wilkes scorers.

The annual observance of Broth- erhood Week, designed to promote cordiality between Catholics, Pro- testants and Jews, draws its in- spiration from some of the most brilliant and honored names in our history.
