Coach Bjorgum has been working his• squad hard since the first of December to get them in shape for this tilt. The team has begun to show some smoothness, but not nearly as much as Bjorgum hopes for during the regular season. The squad has two advantages over the teams of previous years; all the members have had considerable ex- perience and there are no men laid up by injuries. Hopes are high for giving Dickinson's experienced team a stiff battle. Noteworthy facts are that this is the first game we have ever had with Dickinson, and that this Is the first time we have engaged an out-of-state team. Dickinson Teach- ers come highly touted, with ex- perienced stars who began their playing in Montana high schools. They are making a tour of eastern Montana, playing at Miles City, Glendive, and Billings Polytechnic, besides the game with Oscar's men. The E. M. N. S. lineup will in- clude: Stevens, Tyler, and Carring- ton, guards; C. Nelson, Utterback, Hughes, Ross, Schaff, Caruso, Ful. ton, and Montross, forwards; and Johnson and Bronson. centers. The starting lineup will not be released until tomorrow. E. M. N. S. students will enjoy the last big \feed\ of the quarter at the Christmas luncheon today. This luncheon is being sponsored by the senior class. A Christmas atmosphere will be featured by the table decorations of small Christmas trees. Each person will receive some sort of favor as a Christmas gift. Mr. Bjorgum will introduce the members of the basketball team which will play Dickinson tomor- row. The rest of the program will consist of a vocal number by Vir- ginia. Lofgren, announcements by Dr. McMullen, and a puppet show by several members of the Dramat- ic Art classes. Following the program the elec- tion of the staff for the \Rimrock the school annual will be held. The Collegiana, a literary maga- zine of the Montana State Univer- sity surpassed all other American college publications of a similar nature when it scored two places on Edward J.
