Y., FEBRUARY 13, 1936 Page Five Mrs. Merson Describes Big Times at Washington Rotarians at their weekly luncheon Tuesday enjoyed the informal and spirited talk given by Mrs. Frankie G. Merson, head of the sociology de partment of Keuka college, telling of her recent visit to Washington, D. C., when she saw the three* major branches of government in the pro cess of transacting important busi ness. It was like a ‘'first night,” said Mrs. Merson when President Roosevelt delivered his annual mes sage to Congress, the first time it had been done at night. Mrs. Merson has spent much time in the federal capi- tol, but received a never-to-be-forgot ten thrill from her gallery seat as she watched the parade of senators, the entrance of the cabinet and final ly the entrance of the president and members of his family. After Mr. Roosevelt's unusual speech, said Mrs. Merson, the show was stolen by Sen ator McAdoo’s young and attractive wife. She received more attention than any other one person. On the following Monday morning, however, the supreme court got its innings, said Mrs. Merson, arid the A A A decision was a “home run.” The entrance of the supreme court judges is the only thing left in the United States which is done with real dignity, thinks Mrs. Merson. She was thrilled by the eloquent, free yet verbatim delivery of the long adverse decision as delivered by Justice Rob erts, and equally thrilled by the min ority opinion as fervently given by Justice Stone in behalf of himself and the other two members of the su preme bench. The next morning in the senate of fice building she enjoyed witnessing the investigating committee at work on America’s men of millions, trying to find what it was that caused this country in the early days of the World war to swerve its course from a policy of neutrality to a course which resulted inevitably in war par ticipation. The purpose of the inves tigation at this time is to prevent a reoccurrence of similar events 1 in these tumultous days.

But still maintaining a lead the lads threw caution to the wind and Duval continued his wild shots as well as batting the ball out from the board. Phelps took advantage of this and retrieved the ball most of the time and then worked it up the court to score before the weakening Penn Yan defense could get set. P y a Paul Byork, back in the game after several weeks’ lay-off, played the brand of ball expected of him but was forced to leave the court late in the game when he turned his ankle. V&nBuren put in a nice string of field goals but was weak on his foul shoot ing. Guider played his usual hard game but passed up several beauti ful opportunities to score when the going was clear. Brainard’s speed and fight was a great help to the team but he missed enough foul shots to have won the game. P y a Just one more B U T — the law of averages always holds good. The boys have been nosed out of a win right along of late B U T sometime soon they are bound to all click on the same night and click right for the entire game and then they can leave the floor laughing with a -vic tory chalked up for them instead of the other fellow. The season is grow ing short so we hope they make it soon. We really would like to report a win and give the lads a pat on the back without any ifts or buts. When will it be boys ? P y a Sweeping changes were noted in the line-up of the Lyons game Tues day night of last week. It is report ed that two stars are out for the re maining three weeks recuperating from injuries. Also the ranks of the reserves were reported depleted when a number of the players were dropped because of keeping too fre quent company with Lady Nicotine and otherwise lack of serious inter est in the game. . . . Rather late in the season for this action but boys so disposed have no place on any real athletic team. ' . p y a ! News drifting in from the game would indicate that the younger. boys f put up a scrappy fight and ended strong with a splurge of baskets late in ttie game. This in itself is, new, because in the past the boys have been starting strong and 1 then; weak ening. However;, the boys were, ap parently ufiaible to cope with the size of the Lyonnites and were beaten out even as the larger team was here some weeks ago. , > , p y a But .there seems to be a new atti tude, and a different spirit hanging over this remodeled varsity- ■ What they lack in experience seems to be made up in determination and fight. They’re serious; and with a little more practice to give, them, confidence we believe they will take at least two of the next four games. . . . Perhaps even Geneva Friday night. Better be on hand and see. W. C. T. U.
