XXXIII SAN JOSE,  CALIFORNIA, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1944 Number 49 More Playthings For Preventorium  Kiddies Is Plea Of Daily  Staff  , Marking the approach of the December 20 deadline for toys to be contributed to the Spartan  Daily campaign, staff members are issuing   plea for  more playthings for the children in the Santa Clara  county hospital. Eagerly awaiting the arrival of Christmas, 28 children confined to the hospital are relying upon Christmas toys donated by Spartans  during the current campaign.  Al-though contributions  so far have been generous, enough toys have not been received to be divided among the children, according to the Daily scribes. The toy campaign has been  con-dueted  for the past nine years as one of the most outstanding  tra-ditions of the Spartan Daily.  Ac-cording to Mrs.  Eva Rector, the children's  teacher, the toys col-lected by the Daily will  consti-tute the  major  part of their Christ-mas. Mrs. Rector will collect the toys on December  20. Since the children are bed pa-tieustar4ays-svitiel,  may -be- easily handled in bed are required for them. ;looks, games, puzzles, stuffed toys, and handicraft toys are all toys of this type. Broken or used toys may also be contributed during the drive, to be tamed over (to the Salva-tion Army for repair and redis-trthut*on A4I toys may be brought to the PubHkns office,  where they will be plaed beneath the Spartan Daily Christmas tree. Contributions may be wrapped or unwrapped.  If they are wrapped, contributors Etre asked to mark whether  the toys are intended for boys or girls.

It is hoped that ' of the quarter.  Their schedule Alameda, victor over State in will be resumed at the start of the first game of the  season, again the winter quarter. Tentative started fast and built up a big  games have already been sched-lead. However, with  McCaslin  hit- uled by coach Bill Hubbard. - Hag two consecutive pivot stilts and a long shot made good by guard Ted Holmes, the Spartans pulled up to cut the Flyers' lead to 243-20 at luilf time. At the start of the  second half,  Alameda again pulled away to a safe lead as stocky  "Swede"  Buck -land continued his "hot" streak. However,  once again with  Mc-Caslin making some fine shots from the center circle, State pulled up to within seven points  of the Flyers, trailing 31-38. However, as was  the case in the first  half, the Navy men pull away again,  and with fiv utes remaining  in the game, coach Bill Hubbard substituted freely, giving his reserves a chance  to show their  stuff. The Spartans continued to have trouble with their free  throws, missing nine in the first half and three in the second for a total  of 12. Twelve  points would  have done much to help State's cause.
