At ten o'clock Atchison defeated Waterville 39 to 24. The game was more exciting than the score would indicate, the Waterville lads making the tussle interesting all the time. Pausch was the whole show for Atchison, always getting the tip on Seaton, his opponent at center while Scott, Waterville's captain hit the basket for 13 free throws.
In the first game Wamego defeated Paola 23 to 21, and it nearly broke Paola's heart. The girls play with six players, two centers being used. Grimes starred for Paola, while Miss Machin did most of the heavy scoring for Wamego, making 15 of 23 points.
The two girls' games held in morning, proved at times more interesting than the boys'.

TIGER PHILOSOPHER HIGH SCHOOL DEBATING TALKS ON EDUCATION LEAGUE ALSO MEETS
Teacher a Failure if Pupi Sighs with Relief Etc.,
Says Hudson
"The teacher is an absolute failure if the pupils say, on finishing the course, 'Thank God, I'm through with that,'" declared Dr. J. W. Hudson, professor of philosophy at the University of Missouri, in chapel this morning.
Professor Hudson, who is here to address the high school conference, n speaking on the subject "Education and Democracy," said:
"The definition of democracy is the definition of education, and the ideal of democracy is the ideal of education. Both may be defined as the progress of all through all under the leadership of the best and wisest.
"The aim of education is to try to teach everyone to look after his interests in the war of all against all. Education is not what a man learns but what he becomes. There is no education for the sake of education alone, education is for the sake of producing men."
