With an impregnable defense and an offense centered around ’Spider' Miller and the long range shooting of Leo Crumpacker, the Bulldogs sent the St. Benedict's Irish back home with a 32 to 16 ignomy Saturday night on the Convention Hall court.

Miller was getting in the right position for his uncanny hook shots under the basket, Crumpacker had a lucky spot out on the center of the floor. Kinzie was outstepping the Saints on the floor and Elmer Crumpacker was mixing into the plays as only a fast, light southpaw can do. When it comes to Nonken—well his exhibition of guarding offensive starts have a lot to do with the story the score tells.

The Saints were under the weather from the hard struggle of the night before when they had trounced the Bethany Swedes in a hard fought game emerging with a two point margin over the Vikings. Their goal shooting was erratic with some of the misses coming so close to scoring that the play held an element of heart-break. Burke and Obrist led the Saints with some neat play.

Both teams opened with remarkable guarding, first one team would try to break through and lose the ball without shooting and then the other. Finally Burke opened for St. Benedict's. Kinzie gets a point on personal. Nonken dribbles through to feed E. Crumpacker for a basket Nonken falls at a one handed side shot. Miller reaches over head to stop score under Bulldog basket. A long Saint shot dips down in the basket and out again. Burke is right turn on a long try. Then Leo takes it up to the foul line and tosses one. The guards are turning track threats. Miller poured a high side shot through. Bust aright rings a fast one-handed hook for the Saints. Miller gets a gift shot. Another one

Program And Luncheon Follows Ini-tiation—Utrecht And Mc Gaf-fey Speak On Health

Roller Skates, decorated Swagger sticks, bright colored hose, and other strange and interesting details indicated something unusual was occuring among the coeds of McPher son College last Tuesday. Twenty-four new members were initiated into the Women's Athletic Association. Besides obedience to general re-quirements, including a supply of gum, candy, and cosmetics for all the active members, each pledge had certain instructions to follow between 8:00 and 12:30 A. M.

At 4:30 in the afternoon the active members and the pledges gathered on the fourth floor of Harnly Hall for a social hour at which more initiation performances were executed and the formal initiation took place.

After each new member had sang the song she was asked to compose in some familiar tune, Mrs. L. A. Utrecht, Women's physical education director, spoke on the Value of Sports to Women" Miss Edith Mc-Gaffey, sponsor of the W. A. A. told of some of the benefits of the Mc-Pherson College W. A. A.

Miss Viola Bowser, president of the organization, glare the Women's Athletic Association to the new members. *

The girls then went to the home economics department where they were served sandwiches, potato chips, olives, pie, apples and hot choc-olate with marshmallows.

The new members are: Dorothy Sargent, Margaret Devilbliss, Arian Brigham, Edna Hoover, Jennie Yiengst, Florence Lehman, Mildred Swenson, Mercie Shatto, Portia Vauahn, Mary Brown, Dorothy Gregory, Ruth Lancaster, Aileen Ostlind, Katheryn Burgin, Oma Holderread, Melvina Graham, Irene Thacker, Av-ie Watenbager, Ada Stutzman, Alberta Hovis, Roberta Brown, Goldia Goodman, Esther Keim, and Ruth

Membership in the local W. A. A. is now larger than it has ever been before, totaling at present forty-two.

In a program in which are partic-ipating educators from over the state, representatives from the city schools, Central College and civic organizations and members of the McPherson college faculty. Dr. V. F. Schwalm is to be honored tomorrow in Inaugural ceremonies as new president of McPherson College.

Last spring when the resignation of Dr. D. W. Kurtz placed before the college the problem of a successor, Dr. Schwalm fell immediately before the eyes of the administration heads. When Dr. Schwalm made a visit to McPherson before accepting the position as president, the faculty and student body at once perceived that Dr. Schwalm was the only man for the office. His acceptance was received with pleasure.

Dr, Schwalm is a hoosier, having grownup in the state of Indiana and received most of his education there. He attended college Manchester, In-diana where he received his B. A. degree, Dr. Schwalm also holds a Master's degree from Chicago University and he obtained his Ph. D. there in history.

For the past eleven years, Dr. Schwalm has been Dean of the College at Manchester, which has a student body of about seven hundred. His service there has been outstanding in educational work and he comes to McPherson with the highest of rec-commendations.

Dr. Schwalm is a man who believes in being a regular fellow among his students. He is never so engrossed in administration problems so as not to be available to student interests. He enjoys association with the student and is always concerned with their interest. He practices a policy of direct contact with his young men and women. He is held in the high-est regard in every phase of college life.

Tomorrow, in Dr. Schwalm's own words is to be the presidents 'hum-liliation" and if the students and college people can bring the president to realize how well he is regarded, the 'humiliation" will be complete.

Dramatic Art Class Presents Three Plays

On Thursday evening, February 9, the first year Dramatic Art Class of McPherson College presented three one-act plays, in the college chapel. The plays were under the direction of Miss Della Lehman, head of the dramatic act department of the college.

The first play "The Exchange" had a cast of five characters. As the curtain is drawn we see the scene of a judge's office. The characters were as follows:

DEAN SCHWEGLER CAPABLE AS EDUCATIONAL LEADER

The Inaugural Address will be giv-en by a capable man of much experience and renown to educators in this state. Dean R. A. Schwegler has been at Kansas University for consid-erable time of which three or four years were spent as acting Dean of the School of Education. Recently, his ability and experience has made him capable of mastering the Deanship of the School of Education to which he has been promoted.

“He is an orator of nation wide repair." said Prof. J. A. Blair, and his reputation as a speaker along educational lines is one of the best in the Stale of Kansas. Dean Schwegler has completed his work in the graduate school of Columbia University for his Doctorate, which places him high.

He has an extremely striking per-sonality, he is exact, has tact and knows his subject. Being a student of intense study, and one who is continually searching, he is a lec-lurer as Prof. R. E. Mohler would say, "Whom you will remember."

Speeches, Readings, Solos And Games

The senior class held a valentine party Friday night in Harnly hall on the fourth floor. About forty seniors and Prof. J. D. Bright and Dr. and Mrs. Schwalm were present.

The room in which the party was held was attractively decorated In red and white suggesting the season of valentines. Light was furnished by candles and a floor lamp. The subdued lights gave an atmosphere of comradship and romance.

Clarence Hawkins took charge of the evening's entertainment. The

evening begun with a number of heart games, stunts, and contest games.

Following the games a short program was presented. It consisted of a piano solo by Miss Myrtle Moyers, a vocal solo by Alvin Voran, a violin solo by Miss Autumn Lindbloom, and pianologues by Miss Arlene Church and Miss Portia Vaughn. Dr. Schwalm was called on for a speech as usual. He talked on the happiness of college days.

To secure partners for refreshments the boys were given slips telling them to do certain tasks. Each girl had a slip telling the task her partner was to preform and when he had done it to her satisfaction she was to make herself known.

The party ended with songs led by Alvin Voran. Those present united in singing all familiar songs ending with the college songs. Those that were present left feeling that they had been drawn close together and were more united as a class.

David Kendall traveling secretary of the Student Volunteer Movement for Foreign Missions spoke at Y. M. C. A. Tuesday morning.

In his talk he showed how people of various sections of the country had different views on religious, and that there were wrong conceptions about the true Christian life.

"The average college student". said Mr. Kendall, lives in luxury and ease, so that it is difficult for him to realize the hardship that is faced by many other people".

Each day of the week big sisters are to do a kind deed for their little heart ulsters without allowing them to know who does It. Monday night will be the Y. W. social. At that time each girl will find who her big sister is.

A reception for President V. F.Schwalm will be held Tuesday ev-ening from eight until ten o'clock in the Brethren Church basement. Orchestra music will be provided throughout the evening and refresh-ments will be served. People is invited to attend.

Lundstrom piled up eight field goals too the Sweden the same night at Lindsborg when they buried the Sterling Barrelmakers deeper in the conference cellar by a 56 to 25 score. Twelve Swedes got in action during the game and despite an early sec-ond hall rally, the Sterlings were hopelessly outclassed. It just looks like somebody has got to take those Swedes off their high horse.

The world's most interesting events are invariably the ones which the fewest people see. In support of this hypothesis we have Miss Viola Bowser falling down the steps in Science Hall and only four people seeing her.

If sometime when you come late your room nod it happens to be either too cold or too hot and you begin to want to relieve your feelings by ferociously attacking some one, just stop to think. Here are some things you might think about, or did you know them already?

There are between three hundred and fifty and four hundred tons or coal shoveled into our heating plant furnace alone each year. Several tons are used in firing the library heating plant. If you figure this up you will find that on the average about two tons of coal would be used a days. Some days when extreme cold beats down upon our buildings several times two tons are used. Besides this shoveling of coal our custodian looks after several thousand joints of pipe and a few hundred radiators, the lighting of the buildings, bulbs and the like, furnishings of all the buildings, cares for the grounds and Lamms supervises the janitor work, repairs the buildings, yes think how much time he has to give to each of these. In fact you can see him going home most any cold night at ten o'clock all blackened by coal dirt.

For the comforts you have he must rended untiring service. Lets think before we criticize too severely and try and appreciate our custodians.

Library Science

As I look away across the campus to our “Mecca of Scholars", standing so quiet and vacant there, I am con-

in endowing such an institution for the advancement of Modem Science -—so very modern that I don't if Mr. Carnegie ever dreamed of it.

Miss Heckethorn, I believe, has a class in Library Science, but that is something aside from my reflections, and serves only to suggest my title. My account deals more with the laboratory functions of this institutions because that phase is so manifest to the senses of the observant person. There ran be no doubt of the scientific firmness of the elephantine pro-jections which, are so startling, apparent to the sense of touch when the fingers chance to stray to the under side of a table or chair. They are well constructed and more or less permanent. Don't fall to investigate them carefully the next time you have the opportunity. They are very intersting! What an opportunity for Miss Heckethorn to start a class in analysis. Ancient mysteries might come to light as Wriggleys or Black Jack. Wriggly new animals might be discovered for the scientific world.

Directly in connection with what has been said and just as interesting, is the observation of this generation of students busily at work. A musical snap-snap-snap may be heard as luxuriant clays are carefully worked over in the month of the potter. Once in a while, there is a harsh note, hut that is seldom. It is marvelous how science has intertwined itself into the chewing gums of the students. Watch this or that artful young lady or gentleman chewiag gum. They would tell you it is to the breath, but another benefit is apparent. All are striving to be

wonderful exercise and serves to pre-vent the mistake of expecting a wink from a mouthful of teeth simply be-cause there is an eyebrow present. Yes, it s distinctly scientific! Like Grapenuts, "there’s a reason."

Students are working out valuable information in book-leafing. You should always stick your finger in your month first and then be sure that you leave your fingerprint on every page. This is important:

There progressive young men amd women are also learning to completely satisfy their professors in well-rounded reports. Our should not be back-ward in this age. Elasticity and lib-erality are expedient. Stretch it all you can for the professor.

In conclusion, it is apparent that this is not meant to be a technical account. The pencil of the amateur can scarcely do it credit, and to fully appreciate it, one must see and experience it for himself. Look with an open mind, and you'll see much and feel more. It's a curious manifestation of intellectual curiosity.

William and Mary College has arranged a summer school in Europe for her students. The group will leave the States June 19. Credit will be given for courses in English and French, and arrangements have been made for advanced students to take work in the Sorbonne, the University of Paris.

Gorges and Lewis go in for the Saints. Five minutes of the half left, Leo steps on his lucky spot and pours it through. He hunts it up again and repeats. Several Saints misses and Saylor breaks in under for a counter. Both teams miss free throw as the half ends, 15 to 7.

BULLDOGS TROUNCE

BAKER WILDCATS

First Game On New Community Hall Court Brings 39-28 Count for M. C.

Five determined Bulldogs spread out on the Community hall court last Wednesday and turned the Orange Wildcats of Baker away an the last leg of a road trip including Bethel and Friends by a 39-38 count. The Bulldog lead was decisive—at the half the score wan 21-10 and at one time in the second period stood 34-15.

Young, lanky center for the Wildcats, pushed in four of the eight field goals scored in the waning mom-ents of the game a drive which brought considerable uneasiness to the fans, but Nonken and Crumpack-er, playing a mamoth game staved off the Baker tirade and McPherson was scoring again as the gun went off.

After Young had opened the score with a field goal for Baker. Nonken pulled a flash play through the do-fense which set the McPherson fireworks off. He adds a point on a foul, Goetz tallies for Baker. Miller gets two points an a personal. Leo spills a neat shot. Then Young caught Leo napping and walked in with it. Steuber, Baker, hits. Kinzie gets going with two baskets to cause Baker to call time out. Score 11-8

Kinzie fouled—one point. Baker substitution. Elmer arches a ripping side shot next to the corner. Goetz personal, one point. Miller makes his first score from midcourt— beauty! Kinzie pulls a nice play after missing shot under goal by flash-ing down the court and intercepting the ball under the basket. Kinzie tops Crumpacker's free throw in. He is blocked on next play and gets a point. Crumpacker feeds Miller, a set-up. Baker calls time. Fulton gets a point on Crumpacker's per-sonal. The half stands 21-10.

MAN-ERISMS

Monday night was the scene of another court battle, though at Newton, when Captain John Buller's basket men took the Baker Wildcats of the perfect percent row by a 37 to 33 trimming. It was practically all due to the work of the afore mentioned John Buller. Leslie Edmonds Topeka Daily Capital Sport Editor, who refereed the game has quite a bit to say about this player, center, guard, forward, filling the place most likely in upset opposition:

"John Buller, center of the Bethel College team is my idea of a smart player. In the St. Mary’s game he took on the first one and then an-other of his opponents as they attempted to stop his progress with a modified man-to-man defense. As the game went on most of his tricks were discovered but he had scored many a basket first. Then when his own counting was interrupted, team-mates profited by the overconcer-iration on him to score for themselves. John is big but John is fast. From a standing start he can reach high speed quicker than any big man I ever saw.

"It doesn't seem possible that a man can catch a ball with his back to the goal and, though watched by pretty good guards, pivot around an opponent and dash for the basket to score, yet Buller can. It doesn't seem possible that a man can catch a ball and slam it at the basket so quickly and forcefully and yet have it drop dead in or about the hoop, but Buller can. Incidentally the team he plays for hasn't lost a game this season."

Certainly that is a smart reccom-mendation for a basketball player, and he is the main stay of the op-

position next Tuesday night, when the Bulldogs go to Newton to play Bethel. Now thirty-eight miles isn’t far, is it, fans?

Also for the moment lets pause on the Baker game Wednesday. You'll have to hand it in that Orange bunch for standing up under a three day tour away from home in the rainiest weather and then turning out that twelve point rally in the closing moments of the game. Those lanky Wildcats sure demonstrated their a-bility to hold on to the ball, get the tip, and grab the ball off the back-board. The Bulldogs were ten points ahead just before that rally, and they got that lead by working the ball in under the goal! Those loyal fans sure appreciated that game. I heard one student barking with a stiff cold cay, "Well, there's one thing about this game— if I have to stay awake all night. I'll have something to think about."

I had a shock when I read last Thursday's paper. The Kansas Wes-leyan Coyotes almost look the Bethel conference leaders off their perch in a mighty battle at Salina Wednesday night. Eight successive free throws in the final plays of the game gave the railroaders a chance to ov-ercome the Methodist lead of six points and take the game. Buller, the Bethel scoring ace was confined to four field goals while one of his teammates, Detweiller got seven. Gross and Hoisington led for Salina. Some-one must have been pretty lucky!

The dogs are gonna have quite a time to polish up for the final games after this Tuesday at Newton. Ten whole day until St. Marys come to McPherson, Feb. 24 and then six days until the Sterling game here. Those two games with Bethel and Bethany will take, all we have and this breathing spell won't do any harm.

With six players on their squad that have made All-American honors in the past, the St. Joseph Hillyards, national A. A. U. basketball champions for the past two years, will appear in McPherson February 21 against the McPherson Bankers. Mark that date on your calendar in lurid red! The Hillyards form the most famous basketball team in business. The two players chosen All-American guards in the National A. A. U. tournament last season, George Star-buck and Fred Hooker, will be here. Starbuck has made the All-American five times! Hooker played on the Ke-Nash-A team last year.

John Wulf, former Kansas University player—another All-American— is alternating at center with Jerry Spohn, formerly with Washburn, who cinched All-American center berth with the national championship Washburn team of 1925.

Hewitt, a forward, has been on the All-American string for the past two years. He, considered one of the most accurate goal shooters in the game, didn't play in college but was picked up in a business college by the president of the Hillyards. Jimmy Loveless, former Emporia Teacher, who made the second All-American squad in 1926 was the leader in individual scoring at the tournament there.
