BULLDOGS 23-BETHEL 0

The First Quarter Was Scoreless

But In The Second, Wells Kicked A Field Goal

The McPherson Bulldog jumped out of the slump last Saturday when they showed Bethel under at New-ton with a 23-0 score. Although not all of the Bulldog regulars were in the entire game, the McPherson eleven managed to plough across the gridiron for three touchdowns.

The following is a Newton ac-count of the game as it was played:

"Newton, Kansas., Nov. 3—Bethel College lost another conference foot-ball game here today when the Mc-Pherson Bulldogs won by a score of 23 to 0. The first quarter was

scoreless, but in the second the Bull-dogs got in position and Wells, the quarterback, kicked a field goal for the first counter. Later a pass, fromm Wells to Miller, put Miller ov-er for a touchdown. In the third quarter Wells caught a Bethel short punt and carried it over. He also kicked the extra point. Haws went over for another touchdown in the fourth quarter after Bethel had fumbled a punt.

An offside killed the point Haws also provided a thrill just be-fore the final whistle intercept-ing a pass and carrying it forty yards before being tackled.

AFRICAN MISSIONARY SPEAKS

Tells Of Some of the Experiences

and Problems That Come to the

Missionary

Floyd Mallot, a missionary on furlough from Africa, spoke to a joint meeting of the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. last Tuesday. Mr Mal-lot was graduated with the Class of '27 from Manchester College, In-diana, and was among the first group of missionaries sent to Africa by the Church of the Brethren, five

Mr. Mallot told of some of the ex-

periences and problems that come to the missionary, as well as some of the rewards. The work of preach-ting The Gospel in Africa is still in its infancy, having gained a bare foothold among loland tribes. The three greatest hindrances to pro-gress are ignorance, polygamy, and beer. Changing conditions are op-erating against polygamy, while there is a noticeable decline in both polygamy and beer upon the arrival of the missionary. The progress of

LETTER FROM FORMER M. C. ATHLETE HAS BEEN RECEIVED FROM NAMPA, IDA., RECENTLY

Letter Comments on Certain Forms

Of Billboard Advertising.

The following letter from one of

the former outstanding athletes of McPherson College is somewhat in-dicative of the sentiment concern-ing certain forms of billboard ad-

vertising. The letter reads:

"Nampa, Idaho, Oct. 14, 1928. "Dean Mohler,

McPherson College, Kans.

"Dean Prof.,

"Doubtless you have seen and perhaps you have registered the same feeling as I that the nationwide billboard advertising of the American Tobacco Trust has gone so far as to get famous athletes such an Ernie Nevers, Stanford Idol, to say, "I agree with the doctors, Luck-ies are less harmful than the rest." He appears life size on the billboard in football attire. In sight of the local gridiron and says, "Look at me

American in 1926."

"You can imagine the incalculable damage to youth and to the old game we love such an attitude on the part of athletes will do. If Ernie Nevers alone were the sole offender, we would forget it, but there are many others. Coach "Chic" Meehan of Columbia, Olympic stars, and an All American of Princeton in '24 say the same thing.

"I'm sure, you as a coach, an ath-lete and a leader will do all within your power to influence present day athletes to realize their responsibil-tiy to society even though their ath-

Itis too late to change the has-beeners. It is up to the present and future young men to make or to ruin the sport life of the nation. "Yours sincerely,

"Stanley B. Keim."

A flapper's war-cry: "Two arms,

two-arms, fall in, fall in." have taken on the characteristics of a museum, as it abounds in an-tiques-- among which is a Ford. The means by which this collection was appropiated is still in the dark, but

unscrupulous persons must have coaxed the Ford there against its will.

To cap the climax, the Science Hall stubbornly refused to admit stu-dents of history and the sciences

es. Instead, they were forced to stand out in the elements, which were rather Democratic in character. Even some professors lost their complaisance and were seen to rath-er forcibly express their sentiments --by facial expression only.

Moral: If students were inclined to arise in the early morning to study as strenuous efforts as they performed the above--

then indeed this campus would be-come a modern Utopia, wherein all collegiated would make A's even unto football men and freshmen. Amen!

Boxing Match.

Delbert Kelly, weight 96 defend-ed his title as heavyweight boxing champion against the onslaught of Clarence Zink, weight 226, in a match refereed by Barney Swain. The match was so furiously contested that Manager Lindell was several  times forced to administer stimulants to the weakening Zink, and Haves manager of the champion  used the sponge and towel quite furiously. In the first round Kelley was on the defensive but in the second he rallied and punished Zink so severely that he fell to his knees several times. In the third round, the fast-tiring King was off

guard when Kelly placed a right

uppercut followed by a soft left hook to the chin which brought Zink to the

floor where he took the count. Time-keeper Ralph Frantz and Ted Crist.

Stunts Presented

Hazel Ratliff and Helen Eberly amused the audience with a clown stunt. A duck hunt was carried

cross sweaters and brought down the duck and the waiting tramp

with one shot.

One reason that has been suggested, dropping wastepaper anywhere saves time. Perhaps another might be it saves energy to drop a gum or candy wrapper any place that is convenient to let it fall. The third suggested explanation is that students are so engrossed in solving the philosophical problems of the day besides occasionally deciding whether or not to attend the next social function or doing some menial calculations concerning absences, which will determine the possibili-ties of skipping the next class, that no thought is given the discarded scraps and remnants that have only one remaining mission in life—to kindle a bonfire.

Thoughtfulness is one of the first marks of culture. The lack of it explains itself. Reasons for exhibiting such thoughtfulness should be evident However, rehearsals some-times serve as reminders.

Visitors often frequent our halls. What effect do the rubbish littered halls produce? The collection of such is also a fire danger. A neat and clean appearance, acquired by everyone properly disposing of all wastepaper, which requires only a space of time less than one minute, is conducive to an atmosphere that inspires thoughfulness, care, and a general pleasantness of surroundings.

“Actions speak louder than words." Could it be that the method that one disposes of his wastepaper bespeak the place he has attained on the scale of civilization?

“In spile of these rules students did fight, sometimes it was with townsmen. Occasionally, a few were murdered. Evidently this substituted for football. With due credit to the church often a few were ex-

pelled. Thus, it would seem that the students of today are not no different from those of former centuries.

“Students of this time were all wearing the tonaure of cleric. This was compulsory and not style.

"When a student desired a degree he was required to swear that they had read all the logic texts ex-cept one or two especially difficult ones. There was no time limit on one's stay at the university, and undoubtedly some good work was done by individuals who settled in the university."

Discussion on “Play day" and in-tra-mural sports were then held. The former discussion resulted in the decision of the meeting that each college shall sponsor a play day each year in which nearby high schools may participate. It was also decided that a number of col-leges together should hold a college play day.

MAKING "ISMS" A RELIGION

We can't see the path if a heavy fog forever protrudes. Nor can we consider ideas unless there is complete freedom of expression.

That is one reason Communism or Fascism with its dictatorship is so reprehensible to one who detests dogmatism, narrowness, bigotry, ego-tism. It means you must bold only certain ideas—those of the ones who dictate—or none. It means surrender of the will. It is fundamentalism all over again—only car-ried over into another field.

Just as the minister used to think for his congregation—and the Bible used to think for him—so does the Communist permit Mark's teaching to think for him in a stale interpretation.

Not that Mark's teachings or the Bible are without value. We know they are indispensable, that they have more to do with our lives than we ever dreamed. Books which have so profoundly affected the people of the world must have some power, some glimmer of truth.

We do not accept either any more without some debate in our own mind. We know that there is controversy, misunderstanding, or there would be no need for the classes we attend on Sunday morning or the league we attend on Sunday night.

Whenever we blindly accept any authority other than our own minds we are again "converts'* to a religion or an ism—which acts as an opiate upon the mind and blinds it.

to worldly things.

But in the final analysis we must each of us be our own interpreter. We must find truth (whatever truth is) in our own way. What more fin-al authority as to thought and act is there to whom we may have re-dress?

Word was received last week from the Mid-Continent Engraving Co. of Wichita, Kansas that by special ar-rangements with the McCormic Arm-strong Press Mr. Hershel Logan of Chicago will do a number of wood cuts for the 1929 Quadrangle. This

Ideals formed in college will largely determine the life of the in-dividual," was the point emphasized by Monday's chapel speaker, Rever-end J. W. McDoniels of the local Baptist church.

The American public is discussing and criticizing education in general and higher education in particular.

Friday President Schwalm pre-sented higher education from the point of view of the public. It al-

leges:

1 That the product of American

colleges is impractical; that the graduate is too academic.

2.    That the colleges are not producing leadership which is needed in politics, in the educational field, and in religion.

3.    That higher education of today trained the intellect but gives no moral training. The public will soon demand that the college graduate have sufficient character to make a contribution.

4.    That educational institutions are so concerned with various activities to the extent that it is only a cross-section of a hectic commercialized, American life.

American education is under fire.

At The Tourney Theatre November 12, 13, And 14

The premier showing of Cecil B. De Mille’s "The King of Kings" will take place at the Tourney Theater Nov. 12, 13, 14. This wonderful filmization of the life of Christ en-listed the energies of the De Mille organization for a year. It Included the acting of hundreds of fine play-ers and the construction of tre-mendous sets of Bible scenes such as has never before been attempted

For the first time a picture pro-ducer has re-created the Temple at Jerusalem, the Palace of Herod and many other historical locales of the Gospel story.

Jeanie Macpherson with her adaptation and Mr. De Mille with his directing genius are said by all the reviewers to have made the history live and to have surpassed in tenderness, humanity and gripping dramatic power any previous handling of the great theme.

THESPIAN BANQUET

Placecards bearing the name of some character whom each had por-trayed pointed out to eleven mem-bers of the Thespian club the places they were to take at the dinner table which was set in the parlor of the Brethren church Saturday, Novem-ber 3, at 7 o'clock P. M. Miss Della Lehman, sponsor of the club, found on her card the name "Thespia," the feminine form of the name "Thes-pus," the Greek dramatist from whom the club takes its name.

Shaded lights, candles, a wood fire in the fireplace with some big chairs before it made the room seem homey and cheerful. The table was lighted by four green taper candles and the centerpiece was a large green bowl filled with yellow chrysanthemums placed on a round mirror. The green and gold color

After dinner had been served by Miss Eugenia Dawson and Miss Ruth Anderson entertainment in the form of contests was presented by Miss Lola Dell. The members of the club who were present answered roll call by giving, in character, a few lines

taken part. There was a “Quotable Lines" contest, a "Well-known Poet" contest. A feature of the program was the reading of an original poem dedicated to the Thespian club. Each one present was asked to give a characterization of some well-known dramatic character and the others were to guess what character was being presented. Shakespearean characters were the most popular and all varieties from Iago to Portia were presented. Miss Dell had se-cured from records of famous scenes from Shakespearean drama which were reproduced by means of a portable Orthophonic Victrola. Not the least pleasant part of the program was the circulation of programs on which were written the autographs of others who were present.

The Thespian club has thirteen numbers but two of them were unable to attend the dinner.

Students of the University of California, at Los Angeles, have introduced a new method for obtaining campus publicity. A checker match has been started, the prize to be $10 and a silver loving cup, and to he given to the man or woman who should win the final match between the group winners.
