Last night the Bulldogs lost then that Kansas conference game In an extra period to the Bethany by the score of 29-26 this being the

first game lost on the home floor in the last two years and the last home game of the season for the Canines From the start the Bulldogs were outplayed In every department of the game and seemed to have fallen into a slump similar to the one they ex perienced a couple weeks ago when they barely came through for the conference title. The game was rough-with plenty of fouls being called on each side The game was slow and unspectacular,

BULLDOGS DEFEAT THE MIAMI A. C. CAGERS

The Florida Team is the Cham- pion Team of the Southern United States

BULLDOGS 45, MIAMI 39

Miller and Alexander were High Point Men

The Bulldogs downed the fast travelling Miami (Florida) A. C. basket ball boys to the count of 39-45 on the local court last Tuesday evening, before a large him so of en-thusiastic Bulldog supporters. From the start the Canines seemed to pos-sess a lot of self-confidence In facing their opponents from the South-east with un enviable record of TWO losses in the past two seasons. with a strong Bulldog determination to add to the lost column of the visit-ors. Miami displayed a fine at style of basketball which was marked by rapid passing and accurate shooting, but In face of the almost Impene-irable defense our boys afforded they had to resort In long shots.

The game started off In a hurry with Alexander, giant Miami center, looping In a long one. Crumpacker gets a counter. then Miller Gradual-ly Miami adds on in her score that led for some time until Miller and Crumpacker take turns adding points enough to tie the count at 10. Two goals by Miller and Miami calls for time-out with the score 10-14 against them. Miller then Rump, then Blickenstaff. Then Miami begins a rally. With the visitors trailing 19-20 the Bulldogs call lime out. but In spite of their defensive effort! Alex-ander dropped In a pretty one from center giving Miami a 21-20 lead at the half period.

The second half opened with added vim and fire on the part of each team. At first Miami starter to scoree dan-gerously and things looked had for the local boys until the Canine de-fense began an enormous rally. Crumpacker is fouled In his attempt to shoot. Thu goal Is good and he makes both free throw shots, Miller adds a goal and so does Crumpacker and Rump and the Miamians call for time with the count 25-30 against

them. a lead held by the Bulldogs everafter. When play was resumed Crumpacker added two more points and Miller dropped two nice long ones. Rump slapped one In. Miller again. Wirey added two points for the visitors Miller not a charity toss and made it good, then Rump annexed another one from the field. The score was 41-27 for the Bulldogs with ten minutes to go. The Canine reserves were almost ready to go In when Miami started an offensive attack that caused the Bulldogs to call for time out with the acute standing 39-43 and two minutes to play Flay was resumed and Blickenstaff annexed his third contribution to the McPherson score after which the Bulldog played a very successful stall game until the final gun cracked with the score reading 39-43 against Miami.

The Miami basketeers played their slow deliberate brand of basketball, at which they are artist, but It amounted to almost nothing in com-parison to the way the Canines led the game. The Bulldos had all their usual punch and fire and played the game their way at dizzy speed which would have spelled de-feat to any independent team, of the game. He continually got the

With the bravado characteristics of tip-off from his giant opponent and led the scoring with nineteen points Alexander led the opponents with sixteen points and Elmer Crumpack-er showed up better In this game than in any for a long time, He got a dozen points.

STUDENT ELECTIONS

With the coming Y elections student officers for next year are being chosen Following those elections come those in other organizations and student offices. The choice of the people for these positions demands that every one exercise his or her unbiased judgment and endeavor to chose the bed fitted far the respective place. School life in general and the success of the undertaking the new officers are to sponsor depends much on the compelence of those elected to the position. The choices are worthl of thought and consideration above personal prejudices and hastily drawn

McPherson DESIRABLE SIZE.

Recent moves in large universities have been to divide each one into several small schools where more individual help and supervision ran be given each student. The value of the personal contact with instructors and the advantage of doing work in less crowded conditions is becoming more and more recognized. Stopping occasionally in think that such a condition exists in a college the size of McPherson Increases our apprecia-tion of the advantages that present themselves in such a situation The rank of an institution depends largely on the class of work repaired there. The rank of this institution is likewise dependent for its standing on the work accomplished With conditions that are recognized as among the best as to size and organization It becomes evident that the way to make the best of the situation is to start in and use be time, family and equipment as we find them here In the beat way we possibility know.

BULLDOG FORENSICS

The attentions at the college debates has been noticeably better this year than previous. Such a change is gratifying and indicates interest it our debaters. An audience it would seem, would be much easier to present a convincing argument to than rows of empty chairs. Even with this increase of attendance there are yet plenty of seats in the chapel for others to attend our debates. It seems fair to expect that these men who have been spending hours every week working that they may do their best for M. C. would merit an Interest in the student body that in manifest-ed by its attendance of these forensic battles. Outstanding work In debate and oratory has been done by McPherson in past years Let the platform man know we expect history to repeat itself.

BULLDOGS DEFEAT

A. A. C. CHAMPS

by Miller, Crumpacker, and Rump

gave the visitors a three point ad-vantage. Then Jerry Spohn dropped in one cutting the Bulldog lead to 29-30. Crumpacker soon connected with the goal again giving the Ca-nines another three point lead. With but forty-five seconds to go Miller made a lightning pass to Crumpacker under the basket and two more points were added to the score. The ball went up at center. Miller got the tip, made a spectacular shot at the goal and just as it went through the hoop the final gun cracked, the score 20-36 for McPherson.

Crumpacker, left handed McPher-son forward was high point man of the game with sixteen points to his credit. Spohn led the Henry's with fourteen points. Miller, the man the Henrys said wrecked them the first time the two teams met, got twelve points in spite of the fact that the main part of the Henry defense was centered on him. A Wichita player after the game congratulated our fellows saying that we have the best team in one respect and that is that

our fellows never give up the fight until the final going is sounded.

The Bulldogs played a fast clean game and played around their oppon-ents a large share of the time finally defeating them on account of their lack of endurance, a thing which most independent teams are short on.

BETHEL GAME

McPherson College easily defeat-

ed the Bethel College quintet 17-34

on the Newton court last Thursday evening. Except for a few minutes

at the start the Bulldogs always had

a safe margin and led at the half 17-

6. McPherson easily worked its way

through the Bethel defense and in

fense that found the Mennonites al-most helpless to penetrate it for

close-up shots. More of the Bethel

led the scorers with thirteen points

for the Canines.
