Fol lowing this, the Science Forum will play an All-Star team. With a score of 35-24, the Science Fo rum defeated the Commerce club last Wednesday and secured, for the second successive year, the championship in the Interclub Basketball tournament. Swift, sure shots and excellent floor work brought the Forum to the front early in the tournament, and enthusiastic team work kept them there until the finish. In the play-off game on Jan. 11, Sci ence defeated the Terrapins 46-18. On the following day, those expecting a sure win for the strong Commerce team, champions two years ago, were amazed when the Sodality, entering a dark horse team, held them to a four point lead. Score 18-14. Commerce Defeats Terrapins Showing efficiency and speed in floor work as well as in office technique, for which they are famous, the Commerce players won 35-19 in their game with the Terrapins on Jan. 13. Meanwhile, the Science Forum contin ued its victory march uninterrupted, de feating the Sodality team 45-24 on Jan. 14. Not to be outdone, the Sodality chalked up a 41-25 victory against the Terrapins in a late afternoon game last Wednes day, setting spectator enthusiasm at a high pitch for the final game, played, contrary to custom, at 6.30 in the eve ning. The combination of trick passes and one-hand shots by Mildred Parker, Mar ion Gilbert, and Irma Rilling, plus ex cellent team work, kept the Forum in the lead throughout the first half. Third Quarter Is Tense Commerce started a rally in the third quarter, which, if begun sooner, might have had telling effects. Mary Curry, Commerce, chalked up eight points, and La Vonne Hayes contributed a basket and a free shot for a total of 11 points. Final score was 35-24, and tlie Science Team retained the championship for the second consecutive year.

WPA Group Tours College Over 100 people visited the Col lege on Jan. 9, on an educational tour sponsored by the Chicago WPA as a part of the project which includes visits to all points of interest throughout the city. Hostesses who guided the groups through the school building and library were Geraldine Connell, Jean O'Brien, Alice Scanlan, Phyllis Hoffman, Alberta Savage, and Frances Geary. Attends Roundtable Of Jews, Christians Catherine Heerey, secretary of Cisca, represented the College at the Chicago Roundtable of Jews and Christians at a luncheon and conference on Jan. 10. The principal speaker on this occasion was Dr. Lyman Bryson, professor of adult education in the Teachers college, Co lumbia university. Write Weekly Radio Script Martha Van Dyke, Margaret Gleeson, and Isabel Molloy collect their books after script writing class, while Jane Malkemus and Annamarie Masterson, editors for the week, give directions to Dorothy Stalzer (standing) about her sequence. Priscilla Moore and Mary Molloy arrange to write their sequence together. Frances Maloney and Laetitia Kalisz are also members of the group. They Write the Lines That the Actresses Say The radio script writing class doesn't work far into the night, as the moon in the picture might suggest; at least, it doesn't work nocturnally as a unit. But the half-hour program a week keeps the group of 10 radio writers in form. In its two-hour sessions on Tuesday afternoons, the class outlines the plot of the coming episode in detail, divides it into three parts, and assigns each part, or sequence, to a student or a team of students. The editor for the week collects the three sequences, revises and correlates them, and arranges to have the 20-page manuscript duplicated and delivered at the radio station for rehearsals on Fri day afternoons. Probably the only dramatic serial on the air written and enacted solely by col lege students, College Cameos has been broadcast from WCFL each week since October, with the exception of Christmas week. The class in script writing was orga nized last year by John P. Lally, fiction editor of the Chicago Daily News, under whose direction Sally Anne's Career was launched. After - a six-month run, Sally was packed off to Europe for the summer, and the new script class, organized in September under the Osborn Rose, Ph.D., voted to prolong Sally Anne's vacation indefinitely and started their own story. Drawing from their actual experiences, the writers are evolving the story of a group of college girls, whose adventures lead them to football games, proms, radio auditions, screen tests, and include a va riety of campus activities. The problems involved in the character's lives are dis cussed at length by the class, and decis ions are reached only after prolonged de bate when the issue in the script is partic ularly perplexing. Two hours of credit in English or journalism is given for the course, to which students recommended by either of those departments may gain entrance in the second semester.
