Collier’s nonchalant and steady toss-

made her high scorer of the game,

Drexel’s inability to make shots—
due, perhaps, to their unfamili

The second team repeated the ex-

their lack of co-ordination, due prob-
ably to’ their lack of practice as a
team. Hardenbergh was high scorer,

center gave the lead to Bryn Mawr

Watchman Sees Ghost ;
In Taylor Corridor

afraid and ran away. “I wouldn’t be
afraid now.” We didn’t know that
we could say as much, as we were
already. alittle dismayed at the idea
that one df more disembodied spirits
were: probably leaning over our shoul-
der at. that moment, but we asked
where else Joe had seen ghosts. He
smiled and said that he didn’t like to
say because he didn’t like to frighten
anybody, “but there’s spirits every-
where.”- This only increased our ner-
vousness, but we pressed our question.
Joe admitted that there was sometimes
a slight cause for terror; there was
the time the spirit had played a joke
on him and the other night watchnian
in Taylor.: After a little coaxing he
divulged the story. It seems that the
two of them were sitting one night in
the basement of the building, when
_ | they heard the noise of a man falling
down the stairs right outside their
Both of them heard it and
sprang to their feet. They opened
the door at once, and there was noth-’
ing there to be seen. “And,” said
Joe, calmly, “it was only a spirit play-
ing a joke.” -We wonder at his cour-
age.
- Joe told us more about spirits he
had seen, on the campus, at seances,
and back in Iréland. A skeptic ask-
ed why it was that all of us couldn’t
see these materializations of which
Joe had so often been a witness. The
reply camé with amazing swiftness
and was, we think, the answer par
excellence. “Ah,” and Joe-smiled be-
nignly at the doubting Thomas, “some
can write poetry’ and some cannot.”
He explained a bit about |the method
of materializing: it seenis*that a sub-
stance known as ectoplasm emanates
from the body of the” medium, when
she is in a trance. This has been pho-
tographed, and Joe describes it as a
-j/luminous white mist that issues from
the mouth and eyes and arm-pits of
the medium. This substance is used
-|by the spirit to make itself visible:
- | out of it, the old body (when possible)
is created in image. As we have
said, Joe has seen, spoken to, and
touched these spirits, and while he
does admit a slight difference to ex-
ist between the spirit materialized
and a living body, he cannot put his
finger on it. He spoke of the passage
. {in the New Testament where Christ,
. |arisen from the tomb, meets his apos-
.|tles on the road, and they fail to rec-
. |ognize him. This was, Joe explained,

He did--not-|
arise in body, for the idea that a
freed spirit should use its old body
is as ridiculous as one’s wearing an
cast-off garment. “Now what use
will I have for this,” pointing to that
great. overcoat of his that looks as
permanent as the abiding hills, “next
year, or maybe two years from now.”
A spirit in the other world doesn’t
need a body. it’s no use to one. You
can’t hide what you’re really jike
from the dead. If you’re good, you
look it, and. if you’re bad everyone
knows it. It isn’t true that only bad |
spirits haunt the earth. It’s. more
likely to be the happy ones, for the
bad ones want to hide from those
they’ve wronged. They’re ashamed
and miserable for a long while, but
not forever—for the way. of salvation
is closed to no human soul.” And
then we knew Joe wasn’t a good Pres-
byterian.
