tion of Teachers of Education in Kansas to meet annually. The of ficers of the organization are A. E. Lunceford, Ottawa, chairman and J. A. Blair, McPherson, secretary-

treasurer.

The purpose of the organization is to promote the teaching of educa-tion and to secure certificate legislation through a committee acting in conjunction with the State Board of Education.

Questions concerning the regulations of the College Standards sub-mitted by the State Board were cleared up at the meeting at Em-poria. It was made plain that all graduates must have a minimum of forty hours of junior-senior courses, and that a course cannot be classed as junior-senior, if sophomores are admitted.

In order to unify the education courses offered in the different schools, a committee was appointed

BULLDOG PEP

Real Bulldog pep was shown at the McPherson-Bethel game last Friday. Was it because we were on the winning side; or was it because we were behind the team? Now let's prove it was the latter by our attendance at the next pep meeting.

Gardner’s Crew Finds True Fighting Form

Crumpacker, Nonkin, Miller, Hanna And Graham Do Outstanding Work

The Bullpups Prove Real Strength in Last Quarter Of Game. Highest Conference Score Established

Coach Gardner's gang of fighting Bulldogs won their first grid battle of the season, last Friday afternoon, when they made nine touchdowns and added enough points to total sixty to the six points made by Bethel College of Newton.

It has been said “Every dog has his day" and the Bulldog day was November 4. The whole gang was scrapping mad. They had had chances to win before during the season but had passed them by, but on Friday afternoon, the canines took their chances, battled as a unit and as a result, they piled up the largest score that has been made in the Kansas conference this season.    _

Hanna made the fourth Bulldog touchdown. Captain Crumpacker

kicked low. Dogs 26: Bethel Pir ates 0.

Again They Score Hanna kicked off fifty-eight yards and Bethel advanced eighteen yards. The Pirates attempted a long run around Miller's end but were thrown for a seven yard loss. Bethel punted seventeen yards. The Bulldogs had the ball on the Bethel thirty yard

ROBB DONATES MAGAZINES

TO COLLEGE LIBRARY

Frank Robb of Robb's studio, has promised to give the used numbers of his subscription "Collier's Mag-azine" and "House and Garden” to

the McPherson College library.

"House and Garden” is already re-ceived by the library, but as it is

used by the horticulture classes the librarian considers two copies of it useful.

"Collier's" is not on the present subscription in the Reader's Guide Miss Margaret Hackethorn, libra-rian, suggests that other people might have files of magazines that they would be willing to place where they can be used by the students.

BOOKLET PROM NEW ZEALAND

The Publicity Office of the New Zealand government has sent a small illustrated booklet entitled "Paradise of the Pacific” to the Mc--Pherson College library The illus-trations include pictures of forests, mountains, game and industries

"Smile and the world is not with you, kick and you kick alone.”

The spirit of the college makes

the colllege. If the team support is

poor naturally the spirit is run

down to its lowest ebb. Don't let this ever happen to you. Don't let the spirit lag. Go to the games and yell, yell with all your might.

Does this support help the players? Ask them and they will tell you its puts more vim and strength into their tired bodies. To them the yelling on the side lines is music. Go to every game and social affair. Don't go with a scowl upon your face. In closing one could repeat:

"Don't go round with drawn lips, Nor a scowl upon you face;

Don't sit at home and read amd sip With another in your place."

FORMER M. C. STUDENTS

--TELL OF EXPERIENCE

Alex Richards, one of the students in Professor H. H. Nininger's Trav-eling Natural History class writes to his sister, Miss Elizabeth Richards. Richards was a student in the col-lege last year. This year he is in the party touring the United States, under the direction of Prof. H. H. Nininger, Professor of Biology in Mc-Pherson college,

Lindcove, California, October 18, 1927

Last night we camped out on a broad valley at the foot of the Sierras. The earth was so hard and dry that we could not drive our tent stakes so we slept out under the open sky, out under the flashing, gleaming and mysterious stars.

On bed was so rough that I woke about two o'clock this morn-ing and lay there, just dreaming of things gone by and things yet to be. After a while the moon came up over the eastern Sierras and the little light that it shed changed the dark, dusky valley of the evening before into a land of enchantment.

Before my eyes the mountains took on such a form of beauty as I have never seen before. Ridge after ridge they rose, first the smallest hills, then gradually ending in the lofty Sierras far away.

The day before, these same mountains had seemed small as we motor-ed along their bases; now they were beautiful and majestic. The night before, I had closed my eyes in sleep, tired of the sameness; now I lay awake during the still small hours of the morning staring at them and seeing them as they really were, beautiful Bacone description tion.

I lay there until morning, looking at the mountains. When I arose it seemed that the boys with me seemed a little faulty, and that I was the one who needed God and that they were more perfect than I ever had been.

We are in the Sequoia National Park today, among the big redwood. Here I find more of na-tures handiwork. Perhaps I am

beginning to be a preacher but if you could use the sermon God has prepared for us in the Sierras you would agree.

Needless to say the two popular professors were in Halloween cos-tume at last week's party.

He—"If you refuse me I'll die."

She did.

Fifty eight years later he died.

The columnist goes to pep meet-ings because he likes tbe music. Does this suggest any thing to the chapel program committee? On the other hand they’d probably prove Jazz wasn't music.

We often fail to give credit to the fellow who resist the temptation of going to college.

Chapel Echoes

We sometimes leave big opportuni-ties for small ones, but a college life offers the best of all, the opportunity to find one's self, according to Prof. B. O. Miller in his chapel talks last Monday.

Under the direction of Miss Batch-elor, the Glee club made its first chapel appearance Wednesday.

"The Earth is the Lord’s" by Simper and Guonod's "Send Out Thy Light" were the numbers presented.

Prexy judges your character by what you do when you don't have to. He advises using leisure time in the

"realms of the beautiful," doing at least one kind, unselfish act and one unpleasant task each day, reading some of the great masterpieces of literatures and mastering your Bible.

HAVE WE FORGOTTEN?

Nine years ago next Friday the greatest war in history came in a close. The flower of American youth died to give us the peace that we now enjoy. If we stop for only a moment and think what the world might be today if we had failed in our struggle to protect democracy I am sure the spirit of influence which is so evident would never be existing. Have we forgotten so soon the supreme sacrifice which one million young men made for our happiness?

The Governor of the State of Kansan, Ben Paulen, in his Armistice Day proclamation requested that the schools and college of this state set aside one-half day to be given to appropriate recognition of the great service performed by the A. E. F. Will we grant his request? Evidently not if previous custom is observed. Last year the only flag that was to be seen flying on November 11, was tacked over the engine room by Doc. Fohrney. Not one word con-cerning the Armistice was uttered either in the class rooms or chapel. The customary two minute prayer service was entirely overlooked. The writer can hardly see why even an anti-militaryist would object to a prayer of thanksgiving.

All that the writer asks is that some form of recognition be given the day. We do ourselves a wrong as well as the boys who gave their lives if we fall to remember the sacrifices or the war. Let us bow pur heads in sincere prayer that there shall be no more war: then the fallen will not have died in vain.

COLLEGE SPIRIT

Why do college students stand on the side lines of a football game and become worked up to a frenzied state of exitement? Why do we have yells and--songs? Why do we have "pep" meeting and social affairs? Why do we paddle the unruly fresh-men? Why do we throw water out of an upstairs window down on a fellow student? In other words you could ask yourself, why do we eat? We eat to live, and so it to with this college "pep”.

This spirit is gnawing at the tend-er heart of every student. Within him is that feeling of victory and ex-citement, a feeling that only a col-lege student encounters, a feeling that opens up your soul to the pub-lic

Then there is the dormitory. The home of the "R. O. D.", the "Royal Ordar of Devilment" The dormi-tory may be rough at times, but in it there is that spirit that everlast-ing spirit of life. Why complain about their conduct, for you must remember there is an old saying,

College women are becoming smaller and college man larger, according to unofficial investigation made by the department of physical education at the University of California.

BULLDOGS DEFEAT BETHANY (Continued from Page One) Bethel fumbled on the first down and Miller recovered and ran seven-teen yards to a touchdown, his second. Bigham plunged five yards for the extra point. McPhesron 34; Bethel 0.

Bethel Scores

Bethel kicked off forty-five yards

which Graham returned thirty. But the Dogs lost the ball on downs in the middle of the field. Bethel with the ball on their own forty eight yard line began a series of plunges which gained them fifty-two yards and a touchdown. They were ir-resistible, gaining through the Bull-dog line at will and making the fifty-two yards in less than four first downs. Spangler made the touch-down but his kick was low. Docs 54, Bethel 6.

The Dogs had not lost all their fight. Graham made a thirty-seven yard return of a forty-give yard kickoff. Barngrover made two yards and a pass. Crumpacker to Miller, netted eighteen more. Barngrover passed to Crumpacker for an additional first down. Crumpacker made four and Bigham six yards. It was first and goal line. Crumpacker made five yards, Bigham three and Crumpack-er went across for the ninth Bulldog touchdown. He kicked low. Bull-dogs 60 : Bethel 6.

Bigham kicked to the Bethel ten yard line and Bethel returned twenty yards. The Pirates could not gain through the line but they completed their first attempted pass for a gain of three yards as the game ended. Nonken Looked Good The Bulldogs were outweighed but they had the fight that they have lacked at times during the seasons. They fought as a unit Bull-

es, his tackling often held the Beth-

el backs for no gains and his agility and speed were evidenced when he recovered two Bethel fumbles, evad-ed Bethel tacklers and scored two touchdowns.

Pilot Consistent

Crumpacker, the Bulldog captain played his usual consistent games. He averaged over six yards every time he carried the ball. His generalship throughout the game was a feature. Crumpacker's punting also featured; his first punt rolled out on the Beth-el seven yard line and his second punt was good for fifty-six yards. Crumpacker made three touchdowns and four out of six of his place kick attempted after touchdown.

The team fought as a mighty Bull-dog. The line, Miller, Stansbury, Murrey, Bowers, Whiteneck, Rump, Maun, Warren, Spohn and Sargent was a stone wall most or the game. They opened up holes in the Pirates line repeatedly. As a result of true Bulldog teamwork and battle, the pack scored more than any other team has been able to score in the conference this season. The line up:

of fame,

Nonken, even though he played less than three quarters, gained two hundred sixty six yards of the total five hundred twenty gained by the Dogs, more than half of the total yardage. Nonken made runs of eleven, twenty, twenty-two, forty-two, forty-four and another forty-four and a fifty yard run. He made the fifty yard run through the Bethel line for a touchdown. Each time be carried the leather his run would average seventeen and one half yards. He averaged fifteen yards on returns of punts and kick-offs. For this re-markable performance Nonken deserves more than mere mention.

Others Star

Graham, who replaced the injured Nonken, proved to be a worthy sub. He made his first Kansas conference touchdown and returned three kicks thirty, thirty-five and thirty-seven yards. His gains were consistent.

"Bill" Hanna might be called the plunging football, for every time he carried the ball more yardage was added to the Bulldog total. Hanna averaged forty-five yards on his kickoff, he made a thirty yard return of a kick and his gains averaged four yards each time Hanna carried the ball. Hanna made one touchdown and added an extra point by gaining the five yards through the line. Han-pa was injured during the third quarter.

Are You A Gum-Chewer?

Gum, like a Ford, runs on two cylinders, backfires frequently, may be used indefinitely, none the worse for wear. But, unlike the Ford, it should not be parked in public places. If gum is kept within its proper confinements, it is only a personal nuisance; but as soon as it is allowed to stray into public places —under chairs, on dance floors, and the like—it becomes a community nuisance, and should be outlawed at the next election.

The gum chewing populace will probably continue to be a gum chew-ing populace for many years, especially since our national chew is reputed to have such advantages as aiding digestion, making teeth white, curing dandruff, etc.

Everyone is aware of the many types of gum performers. We have all seen the wild antics or the excited gum-chewer, or the slow, un-pensive one. At other times a state-certain maneuvers of the sad and ment of mind can be observed called the "gum state." in which the victim neither sleeps, thinks, feels, hears, nor see--but merely chews. For masticating gum the grade-school boy is made to stand in the corner; in the high school he is sent from class and given a zero; the college student gets by easily; and the in tructor is entirely exempt.

(Excerpt from article on "Gum Chewing." taken from The Fine, published at the Flagstaff, Arizona. Teachers College.)

Sonnet

This, I say, is all that three hard years

Of books, philosophy, and art have won

My mind; the will to doubt a faith that rears Great walls of empty creed against the sun

Of reason, under which the childish fears

Of gods and kings have withered to

decay;

And science, lord of life, has found its way

To lighten labor and in sharpen spears.

And yet, the ancient wonder still endures

That men are born of love through woman's pain:

That supple grace of yielding breast

allures

To quicken life front aching life again.    

This awesome spectacle of birth decries

The blood of battle, where the wonder dies.

dent of the Kansas Academy of Sci-ences, and now head of the science department of LaVerne's sister college, McPherson, Kansas, is traveling with a group of thirteen graduate students of McPherson College, who are making a study of botany, paleontology, geology, and ornithology under his direction as they tour the United States for specimens.

The class made Laverne their headquarters as they visit Southern California, then they moved north for a week's study in the northern part of the state. They are returning to LaVerne for a short stay before starting back across the continent, by the southern route, on their pursuit of specimen study.

While here. Prof. Nininger will give a series of lectures in the College Auditorium on science, which will be of much interest to all who hear them. The first one will be given this afternoon, Tuesday, Oc-tober 25, at 3 o'clock. His suject, ’Meteors and Meteorites," will be illustrated with thirty-five specimens from his collection. This evening at 7:30 he will give his second address on "Animals of the Past", which have been a source of much interest and scientific study.

On Thursday, ‘October 27, at 3 p. m. Mr, Nininger will lecture on "Birds," dealing especially with the species that are rapidly becoming extinct. On Thursday evening at 7:30 he will give an illustrated lecture on, the "Carlsbad Cavern,” showing lantern slides.

There, will be admission charges of fifty cents for adults, twenty-five cents for high school students and
