BULLDOG ANNIHILATE BANKERS IN BENEFIT

Dogs Give Rivals Severe Drubbing In Charity Game— Score Is 59 To 26

Fair Size Crowd See Banker-Bulldog Clash—Proceeds Send Canines

To National Tournament

If McPherson and college basket-ball fans reached any conclusion in

their comparison of Banker and col-lege play last Tuesday in the bene-fit game at the Convention hall court, the honors must have all gone to the college players by virtue of their 59 to 26 victory.

The dashing faster type of play demonstrated by the Bulldogs completely shattered the slow, deliber-ated style displayed by the Banker quintet.

Leo Crumpacker was managing the Canine team as Coach Gardner was opposing in a Black and White uniform. The Daily practice and splendid shape of the college men enabled them to outspeed the Bank-ers to every phase of play. The Ca-nines jumped to a big lead early in the game when the Bankers were finding themselves and until well along in the second period the Bank-ers were unable to fall into their usual style of scoring. At the half the score stood 27 to 5 and the second string Canines held the floor during the entire third quarter. Kinzie and Miller rolled in the baskets for the Macmen while Gardner, Hill and Osborne did the greater part of the Banker scoring.

The college showing definitely settled the question of their entree in the national tourney at K. C. this week. A fair crowd was in at-tendance and a tidy sum was raised in order to finance the trip.


In spite of the fact that flat feet are commonly associated with bas— ket ball, no persons can refuse to O. K. its arch preserving effects. For what would basket ball be if it was not for the beautiful arch that ends in the goal victory? This goal is not in pots, pans or piles but two points which are sometimes sought for more desperately than sheckles themselves. The history of this game (evolution is the word to use but Bryan was a Democrat, so such is life) is short and sweet and hard to eat, a pig skin is no con-sidered a proper constituent for the contests of the alimentary canal.

Basket ball became a recognized sport when Fog Allen of K. U. re-vised it. The first thing he did to make it recognizable was to have it played in suits which would make a suit of red flanels blush. Who ex-cept the bliss and indifferent would fall to recognize it when most of the players as well as the game is ex-posed to the public? It Is rumored that Fog Allen obtained his hangover "Fog" for introducing so many misty, dismal, clouded plays into the game.    His team so mystified their

opponents that the whistle sounded like a fog horn with a far away for-


DR. FILLMORE REPRESENTS THE NO TOBACCO LEAGUE


"The time has come when we must decide whether we stand for no to-tacco or for tolerance." Such were the words of Dr. Charles M. Fillmore

who spoke to the students Thursday morning at ten o'clock in the in-terest of the No-Tobacco League of America.


Dr. Fillmore is secretary of the

'•■Tobacco League of America. He is known as the author, of the song, "Tell Mother I'll Be There." He was here on his way to the Anti-Tobacco Contest at Hillsboro Friday.

Dr. Fillmore began his talk rather dramatically by asking a number of

questions which he proceeded to

answer. He told why he stood for no tobacco. He gave ten reasons why one should not smoke. Some of the most important were that it takes time, it befouls the air, it burns up

money, and endangers the health.

THESPIANS CHOOSE PLAY

The Thespian Club met Thursday at 3:30 P M and adopted as its next play "The Goose Hangs Higg", a three-act comedy by Lewis Beach. There will be open tryout Monday, March 19, in which all that are interested may participate. Those making the cast, if not already members of the Thespian Club, will be eligible for member-ship. A motion was carried to do-nate to the College Library several plays that were purchased in making selection.

WORLD SERVICE CROUP MEETS

The World Services Group met Thursday afternoon and elected its officers for the coming year. Law-rence Lehman was elected presi-dent, Irene Gibson vice-president, Lucile Dunning secretary, and Leta Wine treasurer. After the elec-tion, Clara Burgin led devotions, and following that. Portia Vaughn gave a pianologue. Oma Holderread and Jennie Yiengst reported on the recent Student Volunteer Retreat for Kansas and Western Missouri held at Newton, Kansas. Edna Ny-quest gave a reading, and the con-cluding number was a solo by Mary Prather.

"Norman flapper bathes twice in

past 33 annums. is a headline which recently appeared in the Oklahoma Daily. The story went on to explain that "Miss Justice," is a statue on top of the county courthouse. Her second bath was a coat of shiny silver paint.


MRS. NININGER WRITES FROM NEW ORLEANS

Relates Experiences While Traveling With Group On The Nininger Tour

Visit Flood Districts And Old Plan-

tations Of Souther United States Says Letter

The McPherson College Natural

History Trek Traveling with Prof. H. H. Nininger is now in southern United States. Mrs. James Rothrock received a letter from her daughter, Mrs. Nininger, written at New Or-leans, January 12, 1928.

"We spent three days back at Roanoke, La with the church people there. We wouldn't have stayed so long, but we understood it was a good place to study birds and go coon hunting, and we had promised them a Sunday. Well, I think it was good for them and us too.This is rather a lonesome life as far as the social side is concerned, and the students got acquainted with a group of young people there and were treated to a real time. On Sunday they had an all day meeting, with basket dinner. They have a small church, membership of about a hundred. Ora Huston preached in the morning. Harvey gave a talk in the afternoon, the students gave the C. W. program and Harvey gave a lecture in the evening. We had a chicken dinner and all that goes with it. In the even-ing we all went out in the country and had lunch at the minister's place.

“We camped out in the country at the home of Walter Bowers. Mrs.

Bowers was a Boone girl. They have two boys in college at M C. They gave us the use of the place and beg-ged us to come in the house. We slept in two nights. It began to rain, and they were afraid we would be flooded, but it didn't rain much until we left. Mrs. Bowers treated us all to two big meals, a chicken dinner and a fish supper.

On Saturday we spent the day driving and boating. The country is full of rivers and swamps, although around Roanoke it is level farming country. They raise rice almost entirely.    

"We found the cypress trees along the rivers and in the swamps, the trees with the trunks flared out at the bottom.

Through Flood District.

“We went to Baton Rouge from Roanoke. It was somewhat out of the way, but we wanted to see the state university and the Capitol. It also took us through the Mississippi flood district. For miles and miles, as we drove through the swamps and for-ests, we could see the water line on the trees, fences, and houses. All beneath the water had turned brown. Some places it was only a couple of feet, at others the line was up to the windows in the houses. Nearly all of these houses are occupied again. We came through one little town that has just been dug out of the sand. If was on a smaller river which broke the levee. The engineers broke the levee purposely to let the water out down here close to New Orleans to  keep it from breaking out on the side of the city.

"We have had some experience with ferries. Crossed the Mississippi on a ferry at Baton Rouge. The cost varies from 35 cents to 55 cents, but they say the most expensive ones are still ahead.

"The state Capitol is an old, musty, over-decorated, out-of-date, small building. We couldn't locate it be-cause the define is lacking. We were used to seeing a Capitol dome clear across a city.

Old Plantations Deserted

"We followed the Mississippi all the way down here from Baton Rouge, winding and curving as the river wound around and around. The high walls or levees were on one side of the road, and on the other were old plantations, with the owners' grand houses among the trees, and a dozen or more negro shacks at the back. Most of the large houses and all of the negro shacks are empty now. There were many fine, old oak trees in the yards, and we occasional-ly stopped to take pictures. Every time the cars stopped we would run up to the dike to take a look at the river. Often there was a ferry, a cattle boat or a small steamer chug-

ANTI-TOBACCO ORATION

Henry Hall, representative of Mc-Pherson College, won first place in the oratorical contest at Hillsboro, Kansas, Friday night. The occasion of the contest was the Annual Con-vention of the State Anti-Tobacco Association. There were five colleges entered; Central Academy College of McPherson, Breese College of Hutchinson, Tabor College of Hills-boro, Friends University, and Mc-Pherson College.

First place was awarded to Mc-Pherson's representative with a prize of $25 and Friends University and Central College won second and third places respectively with

prizes of $25 and $15.

The Arch Preserver lorn sound.

Before Allen adopted the game it was a slow easy game, very much like girls basketball only it was still

slower. That the game could be slower than girls' basket hall hardly seems possible but so tradition says and tradition only lies when it lots too. There were no over hand ed shots in this game, only long

loopy under handed shots were used

so how could it be a fast game? Sheiks, Cakeaters, and Neckers (not giraffe) were barred from the game for it was a clean game. It was

so clean that it was 99% pure and

floated. Women were barred from the bleacher because the teams would not play, for long overcoats were too cumbersome and if they were left off, some girl might see an exposes ankle which would mean the social downfall of the play-er. Some of the girls might even faint and this would cause so much excitement that the players would loose interest in the game.

The legend states that basketball originated in this form but it surely must have even a farther background. It is highly possible that basket ball was the result of the union of two games, the roundball

TRACK SEASON SHOWS PROSPECTIVE MATERIAL

McPherson Should Finish With Successful Season Says Captain Puckett

Old And New Material Have Been Working Out On Track for Past Two Weeks

With a remarkably promising and enthusiastic track Squad working out since the semester opening. Captain Bob Puckett, ace track star in the dash events turns out a wel-come report on Bulldog track pro-spects for the opening of the season.

on April 6.

This year's material is probably the largest assortment of track and field men in the records of a tourn-out here, with an especially good showing in the sprint line.

Out of last year's squad, only Captain Earnest Kauffman, Betts and Rock are missing. From the appearance of the prespects working out daily, there are some mighty good men to fill their places.

With the close of the cage season, Coach Gardner will take over the training and efforts will be centered on transferring the winning spirit over into the track line.

Captain Puckett will head the dash men with Hochstrasser, Lindel and Davisson, freshmen of promise Puckett has been able to lead the conference in this event and with a teammate the dash situation would be in sure place.

For the 220, Hochstrasser of last year High fame has a record of 21.6 and with Bowers and Puckett, lettermen, the hopes in this event are high

Earl Kinzie is planning to turn out and team with Hochstrasser in the 440 and although both men are

BULLDOGS WIN FIRST A. A. U. GAME FROM PERU

Game Is Close At Half, But Safe After A Few Minutes Of Play In Last Half

Miller And Kinzie Are High Point Men— Entire Team Scores —Subs Play

A tremendous scoring drive early in the second half coupled with an impregnable defense were the main factors in the Bulldogs taking their first game in the National A. A. U. basketball tournament at Kansas City yesterday against the fast Peru Normal (Nebr.) by a final tally of

45 to 31.

The Canine quintet put across a fine exhibition of floor work to

overcome a team that has held the championship of the Nebraska State conference for the past seven years. Peru has an excellent record this year, and according to Nebraska comment was due to go a long way in the tourney.

The guardwork of Nonken and Crumpacker held the Normals back for long shots. Especially in the second half did the duo of guards show themselves when they held the Nebraska scoreless from the beginning of the period until the Canines had run the score up to 37

an 18 point lead.

Krejel, the seven-foot Nebraskan, tallied seven field goals and two free throws for the losers while his teammates, Malm, scored six times. "Spider" Miller was the high point man of the game with seven field goals and three free throws.

By virtue of this victory the Bulldogs today play the winner of the Ke-Nash-A Club    ( Renoshs,

Wise.)— Liberal (Kans) Lions game. According to last years record when the Ke-Nash-A team was runner-up in the finals and this year’s strong showing, the Ke-Nash-A five, rated one of the strongest teams in the tournament, will prob-bably face McPherson. In order to get to the semi-finals, the St. Joseph Hillyards, Wichtia U.. Miami Athletic Club. and several other strong teams will have to be eliminated, Box Score:

SANGER CRUMPACKER LEADS VICTORIOUS COAST TEAM

McPherson friends of Sanger Crumpacker, who was one of the most popular basketball players McPherson college ever produced, who followed this with splendid coaching work in the junior high school which brought him so enviable record as the mentor of an all-victorious team, and who for two years played with The Bankers, will be glad to know that he has won new laurels at Santa Monica, Calif, where he is coaching this winter. Not only has Sanger developed a real high school basket-ball team but he has captained the Buick Company Independent team of that city which went through the sea-son undefeated. In a recent review of the season's play, published in a Santa Monica newspaper. Sanger is given credit for building this outstanding team. Floyd Mishler, form-er McPherson college coach, who is also coaching at Santa Monica is also a member of this fast playing coast team.

Chapel Echoes

“Get in the center of things in-stead of hanging on the fringe" was the theme of Miss Lehman's inspir-ing and humorous speech in chapel.

Monday.

Several outstanding remarks were, "The person who hangs on the fringe of things learns to take a negative attitude toward life and doesn't

have much fun,"

"There is not usually so much criticism of organizations from people who are in the center of the work."    

"The world remembers not that you had a good alibi, but that the deed was not done."

It was clearly discernible that the Rev. McDonald of the Baptist Church, who spoke in Chapel Wed-nesday, is an optimist. His "ser-mon" was that we get all happiness and joy out of each passing moment of our life instead of looking for a better time in the future.

The following were some of the clever quotations he gave to illus-trate his remarks: Happiness is the perfume of life that you can't pour upon others without getting a few drops yourself." "Is life worth liv-ing?—It all depends on the liver." “Turn your troubles into victory;

Don’t let your courage fade,

But if you get a lemon

Just make some lemonade,"

Prof. J. J. Yoder presented a unique question for consideration when he asked in chapel. Friday "If I were a college student now, what kind of a student would I be."

The speaker declared the best aim for a student was to arrive to be a constructive part of college life. He went on to give the different ways of accomplishing this construc-tive attitude and ended by giving statistics to show that contrary to popular opinion, the student who worked for and obtained good grades had more chances to become a suc-cess in life.

Lawrence, Kan., Feb. 31 --Repre-senatives of 14 colleges of Kansas met recently at the University to consider state of religious among the college students. Opinions express-ed ranged through many degrees of belief and disbelief in college youth of today, but a majority of the dele-gates indicated that students era penally pictured as less religious than they actually are.

From Other Schools

"If you want to be a good girl stu-dent you ought to be fat," said Miss Ina Gittings, director of physical education at the University of Ari-zona. Chubby girls not built for the rapid social pace of the univer-sities these days, Miss Gittings declared. The slender woman is more popular for social activities and danc-ing. As a result the sylph-like girls are more frequently distracted from studious pursuits by their numerous

dates.

Just another one of those incongru-ities of college life is a married man receiving a Bachelor degree.

German dishes and German phrases

used in connection with eating will be the topics taken up at the meeting of the German Club at 4:30 Monday afternoon in room 313 Fraser. The program is under the charge of M. Kast, of the department of German.

Included in the enrollment of the University of Washington are 50 Russian students who were exiled from the nation of their birth after having fought under the flag of the "White Armies" in ab effort to main-tain the old regime in Russia.

Dare something and fall, and you're a fourth class darn fool; succeed And you're a rotogravure hero.

A high brow is a person who can stand boredom without complaining.

Truth dwells in the inner man, but bringing it out to light never hurts it,

Circumstances don't make a man happy. A happy man makes his own circumstances.

The greatest mistake you can make in life is to be continually fearing you will make one.

Construction of the new $750,000 auditorium at the University of Min-nesota will begin March 1.

An instructor in the department of French at the University of Minnesota subtly announced that feminine knees were too prominent in his class-room. The co-eds pondered and at fast hit upon the idea of draping their scarfs over their knees. Thus the dignity of the instructor and co-eds was preserved.

Bulldogmas

Last week some one called the columnist a little devil. We turned right around and said we couldn't help that but he didn't need to be go conceited.

Bill, 'I love you from the bottom of my heart.”

Lena, "Thank you but I didn't care for the dregs."

Betty Schwalm. " We just got a new washing machine and papa ruined

it."

Miss Lehman, "How?"

Betty, "He got along alright un-til he tried to run the dished through the wringer."

The Lone Con Coo has not been heard from for two weeks. What promised to be the most successful and brilliant good tour that has ever been attempted has apparently ended by the destruction of the NH3 and possible death of the pilot.

Time and again people have asked the columnist to put jokes in this space. This time we have given in and here goes -

The overseer kept up a continual shout. Most of the men were negroes, though there were quite a few whites among them. The ripe bananas were either knocked off or picked off of the bunch as it came along. Men and boys picked them up to eat or to take home. We were there just at the fast end of it, and the bananas were pretty well cleared away. One of the bosses gave us a handful. As the men quit work they carry out sacksful that they had saved.

As a preliminary game for the Banker-Miama game last Thursday.

the second string of coach Gardners champion basketmen romped on the Tampa A.

The third quarter saw the Bulldogs pulling to-ward a slight lead and in the final they brushed aside the tiring visit-ors to take a wide margin.

Rump was the high point getter with six field goals. Rock tallied three and a free toss while Barn grover marked up just three. Saylor and Eisenbise continued their seasons guard play for some steady work.

rather new to the event. Puckett be-lieves that they are plenty capable for the place. Hochstrsser has not bent his efforts to his distance yet and Kinzie is a mighty fast man on his feet.

Bowers will again take the field in the hurdles with Kinzie and Fas-nacht as possible teammates. In the distance events, a number have been working out although no defi-nite event has been decided upon. "Berries" Crist will be in his old berth on the two-mile. Fasnacht and Hall will probably take the middle distances while Mowbray, Landes, Buskirk, Lerew, Campbell and Bishop are working out for these events.

Bowers and Fasnacht have signi-fied their entree for the broad. jump, Miller and Fasnacht for the high jump, and Miller, Barngrover and Lingenfelter will vie for the pole-vault position.

"Babe" Martin and Rock are javelin prospects. Crumpacker will take up the weights again with Sisler, Warren and Elrod working out also.

The relay prospects seem almost as favorable as the sprints as there seems to be an abundance of first class men to handle the various distances,

The class track meet is to be held the last Thursday and Friday in March, the 29 and 30. From then it will be only a week, until the first dual meet on April 6.

Bethel and Lindsborg met in the final game of the Kansas Conference to settle the discussion 38-31 for Bethany. Buller and Graber just about divided honors for the Rail men while Lundstrom was carrying off high point honors for the game. It isn't often that Buller has to concede those honors to an oppos-ing player.

Did you see in Monday's Wichita Beacon—the pretty picture of Coach Gardner's championship squad?

I heard “Si" Sargent say to the score keeper just before the college-Banker game. "These college folks act like they're gonna have a walkaway, but they're gonna’ get fooled." Well, "Si", we expected to beat the Bankers (your alibis were too true to be doubted) and I didn't enjoy the victory nearly so much as I would have if the Bankers had been in top uniform. Well, there is a whale of a lot of apprecia-tion for the service the Bankers team rendered the college in order that the team might go to the naional tourney.

The way the Bankers came back to form in the Miama game even if the Southeasterners took the long end of the count 54 to 47. Both teams were red hot and the ball was continuously pouring into the goal. It was nip and tuck until the very last moment of play, too.

Buller played with the Newton Pandandies in the National tourney game at K. C. Saturday when the Emporia Teachers eliminated the Dough Boys 38 to 30. Considering the showing of Newton High School, Bethel college and the Pan-Dandy teams Newton sure does have an array of basket talent.

We’re won the basket ball cham-pionship but there are other fields of endeavor to transfer our winning spirit. Track is only a month away and debate is in the climax. Let's

Gardner's team have turned in their first victory at the National. If they continue as successfully as they have been a week’s steady grind is ahead of them. Well, its gonna be about just as hard for some of the ardent fans at home.

The fellows well deserve a trip to Kansas City to see the tourn— ment and they're going to put Mc-Pherson College on the map!
