Mighty bulldogs defeat terrible Swedes

From the first the Bulldogs seemed to be cramped on the small Bethany court

BULLDOGS 31-SWEDES 27

Miller, M.C. Center and Kansas Con-ference Scoring Ace was High

Point Man

Last Wednesday evening George

Gardner's Bulldogs cagers removed another obstacle from their path to the Kansas conference title by de-feating the Terrible Bethany Swedes

31-28 in a game that was exciting

and nerve wracking for everyone that saw it. Both teams were in to win and each gave it all they had.

From the very first the Bulldogs seemed to be cramped on the small

Bethany court and could not hit their usual stride that invariably sweeps the opponents from their feet and as a result the Swedes built up a six point lead in the first few minutes

of play. In the second half the Bull-

managed to solve the Scandin-avian defense and get through for a series of counters that gave them

the lead which once theirs was kept until the end, in spite of the fact that they were tied twice.

In the first few minutes of play

Vauck got through for a set-up which was soon followed by a nice counter from Larson who was fouled and made both charity tosses good. The. score was 6-0 against us Nonken then came through in his usual man-ner and got a dandy goal, the first for the Bulldogs. Rump gets four points then Miller gets his first from long range. Nonken is fouled and gets a pair of points. All the time the Swedes managed to keep a safe margin ahead of the Bulldogs and at one time the score stood 15-8 in their favor, due largely to the shooting of the tall Swede center, but just before the end of the half Miller got a field goal and a trio of free shots making the score 15-18 where it stood until the beginning of the sec-ond period.

When the Bulldogs came back on the floor at the beginning of the second half they had seriousness and determination written across their faces in a way that meant that Swedes

would have to play a better style of game than they had previously shown if they were to win. Miller gets the first one and it was a beauty then Nonlen worked his way in for another and put the Bulldogs in the lead for the first time of the game, then Miller milled two more

points by a long shot. Tarrant then

found himself and made a counter,

then Rump scored for the Canines.

Larson gets one and a charity toss

and ties the score at 23. Miller got

another pair of goals at long range.

Larson got four more points and

again tied the score, this time at 27.

Blickenstaff slipped a pretty one

through from the center of the court.

The crowd then became almost hys-

terical as Miller hooked another

pretty one from a distance. The score

was now27-31 in favor of the visit-

ors and about two minutes to go.

Holloway went in for Crumpacker

and the Bulldogs made several des-

perate attemps to score, but failed.

Vanek got away for an open shot

but was fouled. He missed the first

charity toss but the second one was

good. Twenty-one seconds were left

in which to play. Crumpacker went

in for Holloway. Windmill for Rump,

and Eklund for Tarrant. The Swedes

got the ball from the center but the

final gun cracked just as they were

making an attempt to change the

score 28-31.

The Nonken-Blickenstaff combin-

ation showed remarkable ability in

firing the Swede defense until they

STUDENTS LOYAL TO M. C.

Practically the whole student body motored to Lindsborg last Wednes-

day evening to witness the "Bulldog-

Swede" game. Scarcely two dozen students remained in all three dormi-tories. A large number of "Bulldog" sport fans down town motored to

Lindsborg.

JOINT Y. W. AND Y. M.

The struggled of man for the best

in life, as portrayed in Bunyan's

"Pilgrim's Progress" was discussed

by M. R. Zeigler at a joint Y. M.

and Y. W. last Thursday.

For three hundred years this book has given its message to the world. It pictures a true condition of all men where on one hand are things pulling him upward, and on the other are things pulling him down In this book the character later

known as "Christian" meets "Evan-

gelist" who points the way to "Celes-

tial City", his goal. "Faithful" and

"Hopeful" are companions to him on

his journey.

I know a fellow so dumb that he

thinks celluloid is a brother to

Harold Lloyd.

This column is devoted to the cur-

rent styles for men for the coming

spring. Spring is a long time coming

so all the men will have plenty of

time to equip themselves pro and con

with the latest hits in fashion.

The newest, most collegiate nov-

elty is the dashing new masculine

head gear known as the Whoopee hat

which is guaranteed to cure the

blues, arouse pep, lead to victories in

basketball, especially in places fif-

teen miles to the north. The whoopee

hat originated in the penitentiary

where the skull cap is common. Also

keeping mosquitoes off the bald

spots of retired millionaires. The

history has been a long and varied

one, finally resulting in the latest

college fad, and when a college taken

up a new style its success is assured

and a reputation for freakishness is

established.

They may be obtained in the col-lege colors for the small price of $1.25, which is just chicken feed foall there M. C. students. Get one or be left out in the cold— as a matter of fact we would be all left out in the cold anyhow for as an ear cover-ing they are quite inadequate.

On the street today in the lovely

snow a sturdy boy was to be seen

bravely defying the elements with

his whoopee bat on of a deep pas-

sionate pomegranate red. The color

of his cheeks rivaled the color of the

hate in hue; tears came trickling out

of his eyes at the cold but snow

flakes to the right of him, to the left

and behind him never phased his

beautiful whoopee hat. Indeed for

style he was suffering deeply. Far

be it from us girls to remind the men

of their taunts about our extremes

NATIONAL TOURNAMENT INVITE

The name of McPherson College

appears in the list of basketball

teams to which invitations have been

extended by the A. A. U. of Kansas

City to take part in the national

tournament this year.

Plans are underway for the stag-

ing of this year's tournament which is

sponsored by the Kansas City Ath-

letic Club under the directorship of

Dr. Joseph Reilly. The meet is to be

staged the week of March 11.

The last years tournament which

was captured by Cook's Painters was

regarded as one of the most succ-

ful court events ever staged and at-

tracted some fifty-three teams. It is

in gate receipts and attendance. In-vitations have been sent to last years competitors and strong entries are

expected from Los Angeles, San

Francisco, Chicago, and New Orleans.

Eliminations tournaments will be

conducted in these cities by section-

al A. U. U. officials to determine the

division champions, which will be

sent to compete in the national clas-

sic in Convention Hall in Kansas

City. Invitations have been sent to

the teams of the Kansas and Central

conferences in this state.

Students who were here last year

will remember the good showing that

George Gardner's men made in the

national tourney last spring. They

will also remember the Peru Teach-

ers. Liberal Lions and Wichita U.

fives fell before the Canines and how

eagerly we listened to the results of

the Bulldog Hillyard game when our

fellows, tired and worn by the other

games, were defeated by the 1926

and 1927 A. A. U. champions.

to be behind the times and he will

be left pining by the roadside be-

moaning the fact that he spent his

last cent taking his girl to the Swede

game and now can't buy a whoopee

hat.

So make whoopee!!!

sweater on cold, snowy days. The

whoopee hat will add a pleasing note

of color to the ensemble.

On milder days which the sun is

shining, a light grey suit with a heli -

otrope shirt, pink polka-striped four-

in-hand tie, a double breasted waist-

coat is preferable. Incidentally for

this ensemble a whoopee hat in light

tan would complete the color scheme

and give that delicate well dressed

touch which only the correct acces-

sories can give.

For dinner in the evening a tux-

edo, a hard boiled shirt with black

pearl studs, a wing collar, and a

black string tie, and trousers with

the double crease is necessary to give

a real feeling of pleasure. A whoo-

pee hat in black felt is indispensable

if one gets out into the air at night

in this foppish get-up.

Now after classes are over and

the college man desires to visit the

city and enter the Royal Puritan,

Smoke House, or Palace of Sweets,

garb of a dark brown suit with a

CHEMISTRY SOCIETY MEETS

Miss Floy Brown Elected Vice-Presi-

dent of the Organization.

The Chemistry Society met in the

chemistry lecture room Thursday.

Miss Floy Brown was elected vice-

president of the organization.

Robert Pucket and Philip Spohn

gave a demonstration and explana-

BULLDOGS STILL RETAIN UNDISPUTED LEADERSHIP

Coach Gardner’s Cagers Defeat the strong Baker

"Wildcats"

BULLDOGS 29—WILDCATS 23

Miller and Rump Share Honors as

High Point Man

The Bulldog Basketeers defeated

the Baker Wildcats 23-29 and retain-

ed undisputed leadership in the Kan-

sas Conference last Friday night be-

ing the only team in the conference

to have lost only one game thus far.

Each team played the same style of

ball and with almost equal ability,

the visitors were perhaps not so well

acquainted with the Gardners way of

playing the game as was showed in

the last few minutes when the Bull-

dog crew puled up a ten point lead

in a short time.

in Baker's favor when Roller, the mammoth center got away for an easy set-up, which was a lesson for the Canines who in turn added points

in rapid succession. Rump scored five points before Baker got another decent shot. Kleeman got a charity toss and Miller got a pair of field goals of his favorite kind. Rump got a charity toss. Poston, the substitute who went in for Roller was soon

fouled and made his free toss count. Nonken soon got a charity and it

counted. The half ended with the locals on the long end of an 11-4

score, the visitors getting but one field goal the first half while the Bulldogs got four times as many.

The second period started off slowly and Baker annexed four

her stride again. Soon Miller and

Crumpacker took turns and each ad-

ded in the Bulldog lead. Miller made

good two more free throws and

Rump got a long one from the field,

an act which Miller soon repeated

giving the Bulldogs a 21-8 advan-

tage. ABout the middle of the sec-

ond half Coach Gardner substituted

Holloway for Crumpacker and the

Bulldogs played a stalling game with

marvelous success keeping the ball

in their possession most all the time,

which gave Captain Nonken an op-

portunity to demonstate his dribbl-

ing ability par excellence. Once Non-

ken got away from an unwart visitor

in the shadow of his opponents'

goal, dribbled in his usual race horse

fashion the full length of the court,

made a dandy set-up. Rumors were

heard that Nonken was quite cour-

teous to his visitors in showing them

about over the court in the way he

did several times. Evidently Coach

Jeffrey's new defensive tactics,

which he has been drilling into his

men by two practices daily for the

last two weeks, to stop the star

efficient in facing the aggressive of-

fense of the Bulldog cagers. Miller

and Rump each made eleven points

for their teammates. Koehane led

the visitors with ten points. The

Wildcats were not playing true to

their usual form and seemed to lack

the endurance which the stronger

Bulldog five showed throughout

the game. The game was clean and fast,

full of thrills and plenty of excite-

ment.

PERSONAL REACTIONS—EDDY

The following articles are personal reactions as a result of Dr. Sherwood Eddy's talks. The articles are not signed and come from both students and faculty members.


WHAT SHERWOOD EDDY MEANS TO ME


We, who live in the realm of cold, scientific thought are wont to lose sight of human and spiritual values, of the universe. Our philosophy, psychology do not vivify them for us, but tend to emphasize the value of things. While Eddy was here I found again what I had lost sight of: the fact that God'« spirit is working through devoted men and women to a good cause. Personality. throbbing with a passion for humanity, alive with a seal for human good— that is Eddy. It was this same sincere, devoted christian man that appealed to the intellect of McPherson College students. He made a deposit in lives here, that we do not measure.

Now responsibilities are yours— they are mine for I see that whether

seek to elevate the value of human personality, to help others realize a

full and creative life, with all that thought implies.


IDEALS OF SHERWOOD EDDY


"Truth from his lips prevailed with double sway.

And fools who came to scoff, remained to pray".

Oliver Goldsmith possibly did not know that he was portraying Sherwood Eddy in those lines. The students of our campus may not agree with Sherwood Eddy in the ideals he presented, yet all will agree that a MAN has been here.

We might innumerate here the social and economic injustice, the inequality of nations and peoples, the devastating influences of war, the political manuvers of statesmen for selfish gain, and the distorted portrayal of nationalism by governments which Eddy has been so strenuously opposing. The true liberation of humanity is the goal towards which Sher-wood Eddy is striving. To that end he combats an orthodox and disgruntled theology as he portrays the personified humanity of Christ. He is saying that "An honest God is the noblest work of man".

The author of the "Age of Reason" hinted at Edyy's ideals in these words. "I believe in the equality of man; and I believe that religious duties consist in doing justice, loving mercy, and endeavoring to make our fellow creatures happy". But Sherwood Eddy goes farther than that. A personal Savior and an abounding ideal of service are dynamic driving powers that have caused him to remove his shackle of wealth and walk the common way of men.

There is a men who once was a millionaire. He gave away his wealth and now resoles old shoes to save the price of new ones. Such little things as that in the life of Sherwood Eddy make him what he is.


SELF-CONTROL OF INNER THOUGHTS


Dr. Sherwood Eddy has left with me a philosophy of life quite different from that which I had before. In studying the anthropological traits of myself I find there is a self-respect for self-control of inner thought. Inner thought not materialistic, but spiritual. Not for the gift — but the giver. If I succeed in life it is up to me. If I cheat—I cheat only myself. What I do now—that I shall do tomorrow. What I preach— I shall follow. What I think—I shall do.


GENUINE CHALLENGE


The vital part of Sherwood Eddy's lectures was the genuine chal-lenge which they held: their applicability to life in the real.

Am I a Christian, and if so, Dare I be one? If Christianity is worthwhile why need one act ashamed of It? Why satisfy oneself with doing less than Christ would have him do? He had the courage of His convictions- why do we allow our fralities to succumb to worldly pleasure to the exclusion of the joy which Jesus' way of life offers?

Why are we here? To fritter away a span of three score and ten yeara (more or less)? So much flesh and bone which will be forgotten when this life's race is run? Or will the community, state, or nation recog-nise our feeble attempts as a mark in the world’s work? Is this school a better one because I am here? Or are the standards lower because of my cribbing, my dishonesty?

Am I building a character, body. and mind I will want to live in a few years hench? The flaws of immorality, greed, and hate cannot be removed or hidden My house will crumble to dust if I use cheap materials in building it.

Am I losing my mind? Have I learned to think, or do I accept everything uncritically? Above all, am I learning to Live?

A life of love, not lust, one of service, not profit; one for God not Mammon— that is the life worthwhile.


A CHRISTIAN LIFE OF SERVICE

A challenge was given by the several lectures, presented by Dr. Eddy, that ask for the best in every young man or woman.

To me it was a challenge of living a Christian life of service. To be able to live this life of service, we must be physically fit and associated in

also know the needs of our fellowmen and how to aid them. Dr. Eddy gave us an idea of some of these needs and presented plans for their remedy.

Some things that he said we knew, many things he said we can read but the inspiration of his statements came through the fact of being able to see and hear the man that has been a life time an studying and securing these facts by first hand information.

WE thank you Dr. Eddy


ARGUES FOR JUSTICE Dr. Eddy argues for justice: socially, economically, internationally, and religiously. He attacks the tabus and creeds that keep youth in biologic darkness. He denounces war. However, he failed to show why the ardent advocates of Christianity lead in the exploitation of humanity whereas the misguided atheistic Russia is doing what it can to make life more liveable. I am taught that atheists are capable only of the worst crimes on the calendar that honesty and a passion for human justice are as impossible and foreign to the minds and actions of atheists as mercy and kindness were to Attila. But for fear I may become misguided too I will not think about this seeming paradox. Dr. Eddy is the most fearless man I have ever heard at M. C. More power to him in his work against tabus, creeds, war, social, racial, and economic inequalities.

"A Flower of Yeddo. the Japa-nese playet, was presented at a meet-ing of the Cosmos club at the R. E. Mohler bom, and also a Rotary banquet at the Congregational church two weeks ago. It will be given in the near future in the chap-el as a special feature of a Japanese program which has been planned by the heads of the Fine Arts Depart-

During the past week "The Patch-work Quilt" and "The Brink of Silence" were represented. The for-mer was given in the Vanniman home before the members of the club last Tuesday afternoon. On Wednesday afternoon the members of the "Brink of Silence" cast pre-sented their play at a meeting of the Twentieth century club in the basement of the Congregational

church.

"Finders-Keepers" have been given but once, but plans for its second appearance are being considered.

There have been calls for the plays by other clubs and organiza-tions in town as well as a request from one of the neighboring towns.

NUS SLAIN BY BANDITS

Orville E. Thornburg, a member of

the class of '01 was killed by bandits

in the attempt to save his filling sta-

tion from being robbed. Thornburg

is the son of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thornburg of McPherson. Thornburg was located at Houston, Texas.

Thornburg recently completed a filling station at Houston which he had been operating only a short time. A patron of the establishment up for service and honked, seeing some-

one in sight be entered into the road of the filling station and found Thornburg with a crushed skull and in a dying condition. The cash regis-ter had been broken open and the cash removed by the bandit.

No trace could be found of the bandits. Police authorities were im-mediately notified and a search is being made of the surrounding county. Detectives working on the case express the opinion Thorn-burg had been killed by the bandits

when he attemptted to reach for a

couple of revolvers that were kept

under cover.

"PEP" MEETING HELD

IN DINING HALL In an atmosphere equal to that of a county fair or a circus, which fill-ed the dining hall at noon the day we played Ottawa here, a few of the students managed to swallow a few morsels of partially chewed foood be-tween sweet songs and yells and all sorts of shrieking noises that almost con-stantly rang through the hall during

The walls were draped with crepe paper carrying out the scheme of the school colors. The basketball team, Coach Gardner, and Leo Duke sur-rendered the table, over which was a canopy of crimson and white.

As soon as the majority had fin-ished eating, Coach Gardner was called upon to make a speech. Gard-ner remarked that. M. C. has the best basketball team in the state and thru

because of their strong desire to win, and because of a like desire that exists among the students support-

At the close of Duke’s talk the cheerleaders, Hovis and Frantz, led the students in a number of yells after which we were dismissed.

It has been rumored that the ‘pep’ meeting was a "howling" success and that it added greatly to the enthu-siasm which made itself manifest at the Bulldog-Ottawa game that night and urged the Bulldogs to victory.
