COACH GARDNER IN Y. M. C. A.
Coach George Gardner spoke on the subject. "The Value of Athletics in College and Their Influence After College”, to the members of the
Y. M C A. last Tuesday morning on the fourth floor of Harnly Hall. De-votions were led by Glen Harris. Orion High played a violin solo.
Coach Gardner, took the game of football and told some of the bene-fits a man could derive from the
game. Football teaches men les-sons which they can not learn any other place. The lessons it teaches are fundamental in after life and absolutely necessary If one is to make a success.
Some of the lessons to be learned from the game are:
1. It teaches men to be courageous. A man must be brave if he is to stand the storm and temptation of modern life.
2. It teaches men to cooperate and work together. It is a funda-mental of success to cooperate.
3. Football teaches men to be loyal to their school, coach, and fellow players.
4. Play fair and square and obey the rules of the game. The same is true in the game of life.
5. Football develops strong physical bodies.

Seventeen Cars Required To Transport Faculty and Families To Picnic Grounds.
Steak, Weiners, Buns, Pickles, Sal-ads, and Watermelons Were De-voured By Hungry Instructors
The size of the faculty of Mc-Pherson College evidently increased with the student enrollment for sev-
enteen cars were necessary to trans-port the members of that august body, together with their families, from the college campus where they must maintain their dignity to the picnic ground at Twin Elms where they might cast off their mantles of exemplary behavior and enjoy themselves in a game of baseball. They participated also in another all-American sport, namely, that one which centered around the rustic tables and benches.
A few members of the family were so engrossed in their duties that they could not be lured away by the truant ones at 3:30 but joined the crowd in time to partake of the steak and weiners which were, roasted over the bonfires under the expert direction of a member of the faculty who, during the past year, has had a great deal of experience in that method of cooking. Besides the meat, which was said to be delicious, there were buns, brown bread, pickles, salads and watermelons to help the tired professors forget their worries as well as any stiff, muscles or injured ankles which might have resulted from a too active interest in the ball game.
Just before leaving their bonfires the group formed a closed circle and sang "O Sacred Truth." Various members of the faculty reported that their was a "good'' picnic.

Oh boy, what a hand! More than fifteen instruments to urge the Bull-dogs on end to give all they have in fight to the opposing team. This is
the first baud M. C. has had for three years. The band is playing all of the college and pep songs.

THEIR NEW CHAPEL
McPherson College and Kansas Weslayan University are realizing like experiences this fall when both enter a new chapel for the first time.
The fellowship article appeared in the editorial column of the Wesleyan
Advance and also interest M.
C. students:
At last the students of Wesleyan
are privileged to go to chapel in the new Sams Memorial chapel. Yes it Is a privilege, but along with the privilege comes the question, "for what is the new chapel to be used?" Are we going to use it for all sorts of activities, band practices as an-nounced the other day. meetings of groups of all kinds, pep meetings and rallies and other things of this nature which destroys its sacredness and deeper meaning for us? or are we going to use the chapel some-what as we would a church,—a place to go each day far a little medita-tion, that our thoughts may be led into the deeper and more vital channels of life, a place to build the "Wesleyan Spirit" into the spirit of Christ?
It is an obvious fact that, after the cheer leader has worked the student body up into a high spirit of hatred for the opposing team, the speaker cannot easily gain the internet of the audience and lead their inter-ests to things in keeping with the atmosphere which the chapel decoration presents. Su rely it would be
a great pity to use the Sams Memor-ial Chapel merely as a convenient meeting place and pep hall whan it has been founded and decorated for the purpose of bringing a more re-ligious influence onto the campus.
In the next few months the stu-dent body at Wesleyan will choose what the chapel will mean to its members. Let us weigh carefully the values of each use before choos-ing the one or the other.
1929 QUADRANGLE
The McPherson College year book for nineteen hundred twenty nine will undoubtedly be the most unusual annual ever published by the student Council. The book has many features which are years in advance of the conventional college memory book. According to Robert Puckett, editor of this year's Quad-rangle, everything is entirely differ-ent but the same.
Originality marks every depart-ment of the book. Even the faculty pictures will not appear in their us-
ual places. Convention seems to
have been put aside in the planning of this unique annual.
The art work is of the modern type and is the product of the brush of Glen Golton, a leading fig-ure in art circles of this country.
Mr. Colton is located in Wichita, Kansas with the Mid Continent Art and Engraving Company. Many of his products have been featured on the covers of national magazines. The unique art work in the nineteen twenty-nine Quadrangle is fresh and vivid, with the new thought of today. In fact, the theme of the
book is briefly, "Today."
The Quadrangle was planned during the past summer vacation. It marks the advent of a new type of memory book. The year book staff which was announced last Monday to enthusiastic over the plans as sketched during the first meeting.

A meeting of the Senior class was

CHAPEL ECHOES
"That man or woman who goes through life to his final resting place without giving something of his beauty and strength to the world about has lived In vain." said Rev. Frazier of the Congregational church in his speech Monday.
Startling statistics and facts were used by Rev. A. P. Jones of the Kansas - Oklahoma Anti - Cigarette League to bring to the students’ minds the dangers of the cigarette habit and its growing curse on civil-zation.
Are we living up to the best that Is in us?" was the question presented to the students by President Schwalm in chapel Friday.
Dr. J. J Yoder read various pass-ages of scripture to justify his em-phasis on the ‘‘plain common old word work, which is necessary to success In any sphere of life."
The business manager also said, "Inspiration Is largely perspiration and college life is not all a joy-ride. You may think you got by cleverly in an examination, but that is not
Dr. Yoder's advice is work, work hard and you will be happy in the reward that comes in after years
when you are out of college. _
President V. F. Sehwalm expressed his appreciation for the fine work that students are doing in the
library.
Most people who come to college have dead lions in the form of football team positions, valedictor-ies, debating or beauty laurels, as evidence of our success, strength and prowess. These are fine things to have but the gloating over them may bring the new college student to a tragic end.
OPPORTUNITY
With doubt and dismay you are smitten,
You think there's no chance for you son ?
Why the best books haven’t been written,
The beat race hasn’t been run;
The best score hasn't been made yet,
The best song hasn’t been sung;
The best tune hasn't been played yet,
Cheer up for the world is young.
No chance? Why the world Is Just eager
For the things you ought to create;
Its store of true wealth Is still meager,
Its needs are Incessant and great;
It yearns for more power and beauty.
More laughter and love and
romance.
More loyalty, labor, and duty,
No chance—why there’s nothing but chance!
For the best verse hasn't been
rhymed yet.
The best house hasn’t been
planned
The highest peak hasn't been
climbed yet,
The mightiest rivers aren't spanned.
Don't fret and worry faint hearted,
The best work hasn't been done.
BACK AGAIN
Back again from a little home Across The Great Divide — 1
Whether literal mountain peaks Or a far-flung country side -Even to a nest in another land Beyond the hungry sea Back again in a clear old school Where eager hearts are free.
Back where a handshake means a lot
And smiles are free for all—
Back where you borrow fifteen
From the fellow across the hall -Where you work together with lab and book
And laugh and study and scheme And neighborly love helps build the
house
Of the struggling student's dream.
Hours will come when we’ll yearn for home
Across The Great Divide,
But we'll build and rejoice In moun-tains of thought
Till the stubbornest tear is dried; Treasure supreme In soul will be ours
When we enter the school of men If we give to this opportunity And are glad to be back again.

McPHERSON LOSES TO QUAKERS
McPherson Scored First Touchdown In a Score of 12 to 7.
In a ragged game between Mc-Pherson College and Friends Univer-sity, McPherson took the short end of a score of 12 to 7
Wells again plays a brilliant game for McPherson. He easily is classed as the outstanding player on either team with McMunn of Friends com-ing next: MrCready of Friends also played a nice game for Friends. The McPherson boys all showed some good football but at times seemed to play a loos game. This was shown by several fumbles at very critical times. Friends also made several errors but not at such critical moments of the game.
The first of the game McPherson showed some splendid line gains which resulted in the Bull Dogs' touchdown. The second quarter opened with some good marching to-wards Friends' goal line but when McPherson tried to pass they seemed to have lost the Jinx as "Whitelaw of Friends grabbed one of the Bulldog passes and made a good gain and almost a touch down. Miller spoiled Whitelaw's good inten-tions by downing him on the Bull-dogs' 20 yard line. After a five
yard line gain the Quakers passed to their first touchdown.
The third quarter was a test of skirmaging strength on both teams until Salley again passed to White-law for a second touchdown on a fifteen yard run. McPherson opened the fourth quarter with some splendid passing and smashing. Nonken showed some neat work at
this period but spoiled his showing
by his tumble that resulted in a good
gain to the Quaker yardage.

The game with St. Marys here, should be worth turning out to as McPherson has improved her strength considerable since the first game of the season and St. Marys has always been known to play good football.
Some of the boys that were Injured in the first game of the season should be back in by that time for some good hard work. Some of those injured at Ada played at Wichita but were not In their best of condition.
Since this is the first home game and the first chance for McPherson to see their team in action, a large turn out is expected to be on the sidelines next Saturday.
