GROWL BULLDOGS!
Friday, we face St. Mary's, the fighting Micks, on our court. To stay in the conference title running, we must taste victory in order to go on in our program to knock off Ster-ling, Bethel and Bethany. Now's the time to fight, and we can’t lose another game. The team is fighting hard, are you? Then keep it up!
HISTORIC NEWSPAPER PRESENTED LIBRARY
Copy Dated January 4, 1800 Relates Funeral Of Washington
Comments in the copy of the Ul-ster County Gazette printed Jan. 4, 1800 presented to the McPherson College Library by Frank Coler of Wilsonville, Nebraska. March 26, 1921 goes to show that the glory as-sociated with the name of George Washington is not an attachment ac-quired daring the years he had lived in history. The actual admiration and respect that his countrymen held for him while he lived are indicated by articles in the newspaper published soon after his death in Dec-ember, 1799.
A full account of the funeral services is given, including the description of the coffin, the general atmosphere of Mount Vernon at the time, the procession, the last honors paid the great general by the cavalry, infantry and artillery on ihe banks of the Potomac.
Records credit John Marshall, then a member of the House of Represent-atives and later an important United States Chief Justice, as referring to Washington at "the hero, the sage, and the patriot". He recommended to the House certain resolution as a means of showing respect to the de-ceased ex-president, to John Adams, then president of the United States, and to the nation at large during "this mournful event’’.
In the Senate's message to Adams tributes were paid to the patriot such as. "Ancient and modern fame are abolished before him.—his fame is whiter than it is brilliant. The destroyers of a nation stood abashed at his majesty.''
President Adams stated in his re-ply that, "For himself he had lived enough. For his fellow citizens he would have been immortal.''
An interesting thing to note is that the type used to tell the news of Washington's death is the same as that used for all other items of foreign and local nature. Modern Printing facilities enable daily papers to announce events of ranking importance in glaring headlines in less than twenty-four hours after its occur-fence, as compared to the three weeks that had intervened the death of "the father of his country” and the publication of the Ulster County Gazette.
Unusual Defense Game Puts Bulldogs in Title Lead Score 28-15
After ten and a half minutes of play, the score of the Bethel-McPher-son game at Newton Tuesday, with a conference leadership at stake and probably a championship, stood two to two. Miller upheld the Mc-Pher son score with a lone tip-in under the basket. Bethel had tallied two gift shots for their two point balance. During the rest of the first period, Buller, Bethel crack, managed to cage two baskets and a free throw while Miller was caging a lone bas-ket when a graymaroon set it up for him. Bethel was leading seven to four at the half. Only four field goals scored during the entire half! but after the smoke of the battle had cleared away at the end of the game, the count stood 28 to 15! How was it done?
Miller was in his hour, there a no doubt about it, scoring ten of the eleven field goals for the Canines, but who loped off the Buller to make it read just Bull? Buller scor-nd twelve of the 15 points for Bethel but he never kept his team on the top row of the Kansas conference standing. Well, Leo Crumpacker did the spelling transformation for the Bethel captain. Ray Nonken made the McPherson goal elusive. E. Crumpacker, Earl Kinzie, and "Spider" Miller kept that Bethel-Buller offense back of the damaging range.
The Bulldogs did a beautiful job of handling that bull, especially in the second half, when they would keep breaking in and carrying out and then of a sudden the ball would be in Miller’s hands and the play meant a score. Outside of a neat screened-in play from the foul line, Buller was stopped. When McPher-son got hold of the ball, it kept in their hands until the a score was tal-lied even if retreats were just about as often as charges.
The second half spelled Bethel’s undoing. Leo Crumpacker opened the play with a neat side shot. Miller twisted a basket back over his head. Schlender missed his gift shot on Kinzie's foul. Miller drops a basket from the same position. Bethel calls time out. Score 10-7 for the Bull dogs.
Nonken opens up will a free throw off Detweller. Miller back over his head again under the goal for two points more. Kinzie misses his free throw on Buller. Buller drops a basket from a screened in shot at the foul line. Twelve minutes to play. Score nine to thirteen
'Crum' misses a free throw. Miller is fed for a basket. Kinzie misses another free shot off Buller. Schlend-ed makes a Bethel try good. Kinzie rushes Buller down into the bench Time out for Buller. He misses the free shot. Miller cashes a long shot. Kinzie scores a point from foul. Miller gets a free shot. Bethel misses a free shot. Crumpacker's free throw is tapped in by Miller. 'Crum' is fouled going under. The crowd boos and hisses the referee. Crumpacker is given another shot for the crowd's behavior. He makes two out of three. Nonken dribbled through to feed Miller for a basket. Score 25 to 12.
Miller bats the ball in from the jump position near the goal. Buller gets a point on E. Crumpacker's foul. Kinzie adds a point. Miller
Bethel goes out on four personals Score 28 to 13.
Rock, Saylor and Rump go in for McPherson with a minute and a half to play. Buller gets another screened in shot for a basket and the Bull-dogs miss as the gun goes off.

HILLY ARD GAME IS CLASSIC
Tonight at eight o'clock on the Convention Hall floor the McPherson Bankers face the far famed St. Joseph Hillyards in a struggle that promises to be a rare treat for the cage fans hereabout.
The Hillyards with six All-Ameri-cans on their string have failed to keep all unblemished record this year suffering defeats from the Sterling Milks and the Tulsa Eagles in Missouri Valley A. A. U. contests. Heading the Kansas Independent League. conquerors of the Wichita Elks and the Portia Dynamos, the Bankers now stand in possession of Central Kansas independent honors With the coming of Jimmie Gardner to strengthen the present lineup, the Bankers will be in their top form tonight to give the fans a good comparison of what McPherson bas-ketball is like to that of other teams. As this is the second appearance of the Hillyards in Kansas, the attraction promises to draw in the out of town people and pack the new court hall to capacity.
Entire Program Praises Dr. Schwalm And Work Of College
The "Humiliation" Day of the new McPherson College President is one to be long remembered in the history of the school and the territory from which its students come, as well as in the city of McPherson. With all the tributes paid him that day, even Dr. Schwalm would have to admit that his "Humiliation", as he termed it, indicated how people regarded his humiliation. All, regardless of length of acquaintance, have warm regard and appreciation, and to those who have known him longer, he is a life friend.
Dr. Yoder was chairman for the day. After the opening numbers, Dr. Harnly delivered the Charge to the President-elect. He summerized briefly the past history of the Church of the Brethren and of the Brethren colleges, showing the sources of the ideals and policies that have built and run the schools. To Dr. Schwalm was the charge of guiding the Col lege and the lives of its young people into great future service and use-fulness, which he formally accepted with a few fitting remarks.
After another number of music, the new President delivered his address. In setting forth his views of what education should be and do, he centered his thoughts about the scientific and spiritual phases of education. He said education should make lives more maganimous, venturesome and rich and produce in them a vaster harmony. The last one hundred years have brought great discoveries in science, were soon applied to the lives or man, and brought greater leisure and comfort and less fear, ignorance, and poverty. Science game man these things, but it failed to show him how to best use them, and as a result, other improvement failed to result. Man's inner im-provement must take place through
spiritual channels, and with "hard knocks." Real men and women of character and heroism are not "hot-house products." And what does all this mean for education? It means:
1. Education shall give youth the power of selective judgment, and ap-preciation of the finer things of life. 2. It shall give youth strength to bear responsibility, and 3. It should give young people vision and a gleam of inspiration that will never leave them, nor let them be content to give
ENLARGEMENT OF CHAPEL ASSURED FOR NEXT TERM
Variety Of Programs Bring Needed Changes
The board of Directors in their meeting here Tuesday passed the plans for enlarging and reseating the college chapel. Dr Schwalm an-nounced in chapel Monday morning. Coming at a time when student interest is at its highest in regard to chapel service, the announcement is received with utmost appreciation. The inadequate stage and seating arrangement has been a serious problem to the college and the alter-ations were felt necessary in order in get full benefit in various programs. The chapel is to be fully equipped with opera seats and so enlarged as to have about eighty more seats. The stage is to be enlarged to fourteen feet and deepened.
For theatrical uses it is to have a full stage with dressing rooms below and compartments on each side. The improvement comes as another step in Dr. Schwalm's program for the advancement of student inter-ests.

Bulldog Affirmatives Here And Negatives There Skin
Coyotes
McPherson College won both ends of the debate with Wesleyan Uni-versity held last Monday night on the question, "Resolved, that the United States should cease to pro-tect by armed force, capital invested in foreign lands, except after form at declaration of war."
In the debate here in the college chapel, Keith Hayes and Philip Spohn upheld the affirmative. The opposition was presented by Gene Henderson and Beverly Wilkison of Kansas Wesleyan.
Prof. J. H. Laurence of the College of Emporia, critic judge, in giving his decision stated that the delivery of both teams was good. He further explained that the Bulldog affirmative team surpassed their opponents in argument and refutation, showing the more clash in the issues and proof that were set forth, and taking the negative arguments up specifically and showing wherein they were faulty
Ralph Frantz and Ira Ihde debated the negative at Salina, winning the judge’s decision by one point.
This first debate of the season has followed McPherson's forensic reponsition. Student support will help in making another state championship team.
Prof. J. L. Hoff acted as chairman of the debate. Miss Myrtle Moyers played a piano solo, "Butterflies", by Lavallee.
Elder J. W. Lear, Rev. Chas. Bon-sack, Rev. R. H. Miller and Dr. J. H. Harnly Speak
OR. J. J. YODER IN CHARGE
The regional conference of McPher-son college territory convened at the McPherson church February 14th-17th. A very interesting and bene-ficial meeting was carried on which gave those in attendance new zeal and inspiration to return to their homes and face the duties of life with new zest. There were about forty ministers and workers of the territory represented besides other outside speakers. The program pub-lished in last weeks paper was followed with but few exceptions. Dr. J. J. Voder was in charge and officiated the meetings. There were three main speakers, two representatives from the general brotherhood. Rev. J. W. Lear and Rev. Chas. Bonsack and Rev R. H. Miller of North Man-chester Church. Lear represented the finance and program of the church. Bonsack represented the
Missions of our church and Miller emphasized evangelism.
The purpose of the conference was probably best emphasized in a speech given by one of the members of the college faculty. Dr. Harnly, when he said “We have emphasized training so much, during this transition period through which we are passing.
t hat we have created a psychology that has kept a great group of our able men who have not been privel-eged to go to higher schools of learning, from functioning." The minis-ter were then urged to use the ef-ficient laymen and ministers and if possible overcome this deteriorating psychology. The idea was received
with appreciation as many expressed themselves as feeling it very timely for consideration.

"Dad" Carries To Students Message Of Faith And Hope
The opportunity of a lifetime and possible the most far reaching event in the history at McPherson College come to a close last Saturday night
when many of the students thank-ed "Dad" Elliot with tears in their
eyes for the new visions of a greater goal and the realization of their pos-sibilities which he had brought be-fore them. The three days which "Dad" spent on the campus pointing out to them the higher way of life
will long be remembered and cher-ished.
"Dad" arrived on the campus Wed-nesdsay afternoon, and spoke for a little while in the group who had been meeting in preparation for his coming. Impressing them with the need of much prayer and work on their part that all might have the opportunity of hearing. That evening the men and women met in their respective groups and took further steps to make the work successful.
Thursday morning "Dad" talked for the first time to the entire student body and faculty, driving home to his listeners with all of his personal personality behind it as all through the talks, the fallacy from the point of view of ordinary efficiency of giving way to the ordinary temptations of life. Only about one person in one-hundred of the college students is ever heard from outside of his own little world, and his at-tiiude toward Impurity, Dishonesty, Disrespect for Law. Lack of Self-con-trol, Smoking cigarettes, Breaking the Sabbath, and failing to pray, and putting his foot on the neck of the fellow who is down, is going to de-termine who that person will be.
Thursday afternoon "Dad" ad-dressed the "M" Club and other men interested, on the real life values of Athletica. Many things, he said, could be learned more effectively and wholesomely in play than later through hard knocks with less chance of success. When Athletic teaches a man to play clean, play for a higher cause than himself, knocks the yellow out of him, teaches him to pray for the coordination of team spirit, teaches him to fight in the crisis when all is against him, and how to endure success as well as failure, it is making a direct contri-butions to his later life.
Thursday night "Dad'' showed how by living in accordance with the high-er laws of friendship, one could arrive eventually at a higher experience of Christ. The young man wants to become worthy by all in his power of his chosen lady's love. He is loyal to her and the things she admires. He will defend her honor and reputation as he would his own life. He is faithfully at her service. Concern in these matters will bring a satis-factory experience of Christ.
Friday morning be held up before the students acid tests by which they might test their individual lives. The real test of religion is what happens when social restraints are removed. Religion is life and the test of life is growth! Life growing spiritually wants to worship, pray, serve, and be nourished. Sometimes there is no satisfaction because a GOD like JESUS is not at the center of things. The growing life is capable of repro-duction. If one has anything worth sharing, he should share it! Home gifts a wise father gives as a matter or course, other times he waits until the child wants enough to ask, and still others he will not give until the child is unselfish to ask it for another.
Friday afternoon "Dad" talked to the women, as to their responsibility in companionship with men for con-versation, dress, and physical rela-tion, urging them to put a premium on the finer arts of life. To both

Chapel Echoes
Some quotations from Rev. Charles E. Bonsack's vivid speech in chapel Monday:
"Make a few friends and a few-milestones to guide ourselves on our
way."
“The Great American desert isn't in Arizona, but under the average man's hat."
"We should carry the spirit of play and joy of game in more serious tasks
of life."
In speaking of headache, "Despite the homeliness without and the emp-tiness within, the head is better than the ache."
“If we could see all the bacteria in a drop of water wouldn't be able to see the beauty of the ocean."
And Dr. Schwalm concluded, "Who said ‘Everybody likes a fat man?"
Rev. Robert Miller of Manchester College, introducted in chapel Wed-nesday by Dr. Schwalm as "Just Rob" proved to be indeed to inspir-ing speaker. His subject was pray-er, and he gave two popular not erroneous attitudes, if prayer, first, ‘that prayer is a device by which can put my hand on the steering wheel and push God's hand off" sec-ond, "that prayer is just a kind of setting-up exercise to tone up the in-dividual." Then Rev. Miller pre-sented his ideas of the true results of prayer--"that it is a change in the heart and life of a man, that enables God to do what he was not allowed to do before prayer."
"That we apply an acid test to our standard of living" was "Dad" Elliot's challenge, in chapel Friday morning. He went on to say that "canned" religion is the greatest hindrance to Christianity today and asked the questions, "Have you a re-ligion that holds you anywhere in sorrow, temptation, or in a different environment where social props are removed?"
That the acid test of life is growth and that growth is not possible ex-rept by nourishing food, which is prayer, were other great truths which "Dad" convincingly presented
EASTERN VIEWS OF WESTERN PRACTICES OF CHRISTIANITY
To give us an idea of what the eastern christian thinks of the west-ern christians, the following extracts
ians of the east given at the Detroit Conference will be enlightenment. This great rush and thirst for
go.
It's the slip of the sole, and not
the goal
Which determines the way we go
Anyone who loves his ideals as in life as in college is certainly slow. We lost ours in kindergarten.
"Dad" Elliot stimulated a lot of thinking and it will probably be a week or two before everyone gets back to normal.
"Dad" Elliot is gone and with him a whole gob of our love. We ap-preciate a man who can think from a student's point of view.

Bulldogmas
Nogales, New Mexico, Feb. 21 Amid rousing cheers the NHS (Spirit of Ammonia ) nestled down into No-gales. Bobbie Earl the Lone Coo Coo of the air was greeted by the Mayor and given the key to the city. Beautiful Spanish senoritas and Am-erican flappers tried in vain to at-tract the attention of the aviator. To their dismay none of their kisses were accepted, with the exception of a few which the Lone Coo Coo is taking back to his boy friends.
"Nogales is a nutty town," writes the columnist special to the Specata-tor. I got into this joint with out trouble but I probably wont get out as easily. Why, only this morning I was nearly arrested. It was all due to the fact the U. S. Mexican line cuts straight down the main drag. This is certainly convenient at times but is often confusing. The Mayor of Nogales and I were setting oppos-ite at a table in Paddy Ryan's saloon. The Mayor was in Mexico and I in the United States. The Mayor had been careless with his glass and left it setting on my side—a prohibition officer was clamping the cuffs on my wrists before my friend was con-scious of my situation. He said the glass over into Old Mexico and ex-plained everything thing. Both the Mayor
and the officer apologized.
This town seems to have too much good-will as it is. Three a. m. to-morrow and the NH3 takes wing to Panama.
“Why, certainly Geraldine lots of
decks have five aces."
For a time Monday morning our confidence was severely shaken. We sat between two of the faculty in chapel who smelled suspiciously of snoke. All turned out well as we found they had only been to Lader-er’s fire sale.
Miss McGaffey while in Denver last summer was seen looking into the window of a small cafe. Prof. Williams inquired why the unusual interest.
Miss McGaffey replied: Isn't this strange? the sign here says “Lob-sters Served Here".

father had raise cotton in Virginia
until he raised cain on the campus. He studied bard, that is between times. At the end of two months he had dated every girl on the campus but fove and they were married so were beyond redemption. He fell for a senior girl. He did this with a selfish motive, for he would not have to fall so far for an upper class girl. She was his inspiration that is why he got D's in all his courses the first semester. A peach she was, but had, been shipped to far for she was go-ing to be a gym teacher and just loved to dance. But George could not stand the pressure of her high heels on his ample understanding so he put her on the shelf to do the dol dance. He then started to go with the boys but this about broke the heart of poor dad's pocketbook. George had to settle down, go with a freshman girl, and make average grades the rest of the year. George's popularity the first semester caused partly because of his brilliant career as a football player. The last three years of college were much like the first except that dad was more pros-perous during the third year so George swoped his Ford for a Chev-rolet. He also played a saxophone and uke as well as being a heavenly dancer (this lost art was acquired or perfected during his junior year when he was going with a fuzzy headed blond freshman.)
He graduated from college and it took him no time to get a job in a five and ten cent store where he earned the reputation of being the best collar salesman in the country, a far greater accomplishment than his godfather's MORAL: What an advantage a college education gives a man.
GEORGE MODERNMAN
George was a very beautiful baby that is when he was less than three years old. His parents were normal,
sane, healthy, loving people. He was the eleventh son so be won the name George because his mother thought that George Washington was so lucky not to have frozen his feet at Valley Forge. George was a very good child, he went to school and studied so hard that he was always at the top of the class. He never played with the bad rough boys but would rather play doll-house or make mud-pies with the sweet little girls whose curls were unmolested by him. He never threw stones, made faces, sassed his parents or picked on other dumb animals. After every dose of castor oil he would smack his lips and cry for more and his cod liver oil was taken as much
unconcern as our Bobbie takes his invigorator. He never lied except when it was necessary for his mother and father asked some of the most impossible questions.
In high school he was one of those good boys who read every book in the school library the first two years and thought a B was a failing grade He was the intellectual leader of the school but he was not enough the lender to persuade the faculty to plant a cherry orchard on the camp-us so he could cut one of the trees down in show that he was the only George the second. During his Soph-omore year he sat up for six weeks straight to prove that he didn't lie. When he was a junior he went as a bachelor to the banquet where to delivered an oration which was three hours long, for the enjoyment of his fellow students. After the banquet he took the young feminine French teacher home. This teacher helped him to look up the meaning of wild oats in the encyclopedia of course in other words he changed from lamb to a lion. He proved to be a great find in football. He was the hero of his team. He was president of his class the school orator and Valedictorian. Hr lived on his repu-tation the last year.
George Modernman then went to college. Insteading of welding a sword as his name sake had in the good old days he welded a Ford on
SALON ORCHESTRA HONORED
Professor Doll has just received the official bulletin for February of the National Federation of Music Clubs. In it appears the picture of the McPherson Salon Orchestra, “the first senior school organization in the state to federate," which is doing "commendable work." This popular orchestra is playing on a program of the Kansas Federation or Music Clubs convention at Hutchinson next month.
ARTS AND CRAFTS EXHIBIT
An art exhibit was held by the art department Feb. 12-18. The exhibit was of the work done the first se-mester.
The largest part of the exhibit was the arts and crafts work. It con-sisted of lamp shades, polychrome articles, block printing, tie dyeing, and fabric painting. There were tie dye drops at the windows.
The exhibit also included work done by the industrial arts class, the crayon crafts class the free hand drawing class, and the minting class.
The Kansas State Music Teachers' Convention was held Feb. 9 and 16 at the Hotel Lassen, Wichita. Miss Jessie Brown, Miss Fern l.ingen-felter and Professor Doll of the Col-lege music faculty, and Miss Vivian Harnly of the Inman schools attend-ed the first day. They report an unusually attractive and inspiration-al convention. The guest artists heard were Leon Sametini, violinist and Allen Spencer, pianist, both of Chicago.

INAUGURAL PROGRAM
(Continued from Page One)
Dean R. A. Schwegler of K. U. gave
the Inaugural Address. He impressed the audience with the bigness of the Universe and the Power behind it. He styled the Universe as God's laboratory and said that science was trying to see what is going on, in that laboratory, and how it is tak-ing place. The greater the scientist, the more his work shows him the presence of that indefinable some-thing that is back of everything. This something man has known as God. His terms and ways of expresssing God and religion are constantly
changing, but God and that basic re-ligious feeling do not change. At the close, Dean Schwegler empha-sized that the mission of the College and the most challenging task that could come to any teacher is to lead young men and young women into this great laboratory to meet God and His work, see His part in tran-piring events, and live according to the meaning they reveal.
Rev. Richards closed the forenoon services with the benediction.
Tuesday afternoon was well taken by a program consisting of short talks from men from several walks of life. Mr. B. Harms, from the McPherson Chamber of Commerce, showed in a few words how it is the aim of the Chamber of Commerce to cooperate in every possible way with the plans or the college, which is now headed by such a man as Dr. Schwalm. "The school holds a place of high repute in our eyes," said Mr. Harms. Closely allied to our plan of education are the city schools and Central Academy College. Supt. Potwin, plainly stated how it is the college that makes McPherson a pleasant place to live. President Stoll of Central College hopes that we can continue to have the pleasant state of "peace" between the two schools us we now have.
The Alumni Association was rep-resented very ably by Rev. Paul K. Brandt who proved that McPherson College is playing a very large part in making the world better by sending out such alumni as she has. Rev. Robert Miller, Pastor of North Man-chester Church and Elder J. W. Lear, representing the General Mission Board, painted clearly the situation of education and religion today and the part that President Schwalm will play in helping McPherson to to its part. "I do not know a man who can nearer combine spiritual fel-owship with the greatest achieve-ments of scholarship than can Dr. Schwalm," added Rev. Miller.
Dr. W. C. Mendenhall, president of Friends University, stated that the four year institution, such as McPherson, must bridge the gap between the control from without and that from within, and that religion must do its part in this. Prof. C. W. Mathews from Kansas State Agriculture Col-ege concluded the afternoon pro-gram by complimenting McPherson tp her work and assuring us that we are a college of which Kansas can be proud.
Sterling took one more sink the nine night at the hands of Friends *. for a 37-27 count.
"DAD" ELLIOT TALKS
IN FOUR-DAY SERIES
(Continued from Page One)
women and men he upheld clean see-ing, clean hearing, clean conversa-tion, and clean physical contact.
Friday evening he brought to the men in the finest conceptions, with a minimum of negative illustrations, that the very fact that they were men should insure protection for women and children and companion-ship to them. As a man thinks, so he sets in the crises of life, though his subconscious self. The best defense against broken bones is a mighty offensive. Flood the life and thought with beautiful pictures, music, and companionship and stand shoulder to shoulder in building a great constructive social life, self entertained.
Saturday morning "Dad" delivered the climax of his talks, on "How do I get that way?" Using football as a familiar and representative illustra-tion. The player must join the squad, regardless of whether the game is rough and tackles hard and players fumbling. He must read the rule book and learn the great plays of the past. He must readjust his loy-alties. He must talk in the old players and the coach. He will learn that the only perfect player that ever existed played by the old rules, but gave them an entirely different meaning. Then he must play the game. These steps were given as steps in the Christian life.
At the Friendship dinner Saturday
night, "Dad" used as a basis of his last talk the passage "and Zaccheaus ran on before and climbed up . . . to see Jesus", The majority should free itself from the negative influ-ence of minority and climb up to see Jesus.
As the funniest boy in College puts it, "I'm gonna leave the Bull-dogma column vacant sometime and I'll make a big bit.

Topeka. Feb. 20-- McPherson by
winning from Bethel in the Bulldog’s only game last week, displaced the Gray Maroons at the top of the Kan-sas conference basketball standings.
Baker, with victories over Kansas
Wesleyan, St. Mary's and Bethany, advanced to third place. Bethany’s defeat, the second for the Swedes this season, dropped the Lindsborg
team to fourth place.___
Despite the setback by McPherson Bethel maintained the fast pace in the skirmish in which the four teams are in a close race for the conference title, winning from Sterling and Friends. Friends, by winning from Sterling and losing to Bethel, remain-ed in seventh position.
Bethel will have an opportunity to enter a tie with McPherson when the Newton aggregation meets the bot-tom place Sterling team, at Sterling this week, while Bethany will have an opportunity to avenge its defeat of the past week when the Swedes in-vade Baker's lair at Baldwin.
McPherson's only conference game scheduled for the week is with St. Mary's.
Eight games were scheduled for the week, as follows:
February 20 --- Kansas Wesleyan
vs. Ottawa, at Ottawa.
February 21 — Kansas Wesleyan vs. Baker, at Baldwin. Bethel vs. Sterling, at Sterling.
February 22 — Rockhurst vs. St.
Mary's at St. Mary's (Non-confer-ence.)
February 23 —Bethany vs. Baker, at Baldwin, St. Mary's vs. Kansas Wesleyan at Salina.
February 21 - Bethany vs. Ottawa, at Ottawa, St. Mary's vs. McPher-son, at McPherson Friends vs. Bethel at Newton.
(By Lawrence Mann) It's a queer thing, but if you'll
ever notice, its generally the winners that are the poor losers. I don't mean hard losers but poor losers.
Just compare the game we lost at Lindsborg and the game Bethel lost Tuesday night. I’m not speaking from the player's standpoint but rather front that of the fans. At Lindsborg, though the tide went against us, the McPherson fans said, "Just wait till they come to McPher-son." At Bethel the crowd booed and hissed the referee. After the Lindsborg game here, I wonder if the losing side will be hard losers or poor losers.
Those Swedes figured in another disaster Wednesday night when the Baker Orangemen came down to Sweden and walked off with a 37-28 competition. This time Steuber op-ened up for the men from Baldwin and did plenty damage to the Swede ponant hopes. The score was sel-dom more than two points in differ-ence until the final Baker drive.
St. Mary's college, whom we meet here the 24th, dropped a ragged ex-hibition so the Ottawa Braves last
Friday night at Ottawa, 30 to 9 at the half, and 36 to 23 final. Alexander, Binns and Kepner divided the Brave thirty-six points about evenly among themselves.
8t. Benedict's after that remarkable game when they defeated Linds-borg, went to pieces at McPherson and continued the fall at Ottawa Tuesday evening where the Braves triumphed 30 to I5. It is certainly true as Jack Oelrich puts it, "St. Benedict's has an erratic playing crew, playing almost unbeatable basketball In one game and failing to show anything like this same form in another game."
Notre Dame's football captain for the next fall season is Fred Miller, Milwaukee. He plays tackle. What's more he's worth five million dollars in his own name—who says that money has its drawbacks?
Bethel "stayed in the race” the name night at Newton by whipping the-haven't-won-yet Sterling Barrel-makers 39-24. At the half Sterling was leading 11-10 but Buller got going and rolled up a total of eight field goals.
When lowly Abilene up and smote the High champs last Friday for it 19 to 17 win, the fans could hardly realize that it happened. There's no doubt in anybody's mind that McPherson High hasn't a great team this season but the strut and cockiness of the champs before the game spelled defeat in big capitals. The win over Ellsworth Saturday was more up to form.
That loss of the High team should serve as a pointer for the college game Friday with St. Mary's. Those Micks aren't down and out yet. They're the fightenes, scrappy bunch of players you ever saw. They are not gonna he whipped until the score card tells it to 'em. Well.—there's no place in our schedule for another defeat this year!
It may be all right to spike up and win the game from the stand-point of those fans who wanna win the game at all costs but here's one who sees the other side of the question. Sport Pages are filled with the announcements of new material
THE SPECTATOR
being taken from the college teams to strengthen the professional entrees to the National tournament at
Kansas City. To bring the subject, home, let's refer to the Banker-Hill-yards game tonight. When I announced to someone some time ago that the Hillyards were coming here with their string of All-American the fellow replied. "Who are the Bankers gonna get to play with them?" Well, from my viewpoint. If they have, to go out of McPherson to get material, especially some fellow who is known to the fans to be an outsider, then I'm gonna be sore-ly disappointed. I wanna see what George Gardner, Si Sargent,Duke Strickler, Dick Hill. Massive Crum-packer, Bob Osborne, and Coach Holtfrerich can do in competition with the famed boys from St. Jo. If that string can't beat 'em. I wanna see just how much better the Hill-yards are than they, and if they do beat 'em. I wanna have McPherson get the credit. Don't you?
