McPherson college bulldogs win game from

FRIENDS UNIVERSITY WITH SCORE OF 28-27

Quakers Are Ahead Until Last Thirty Seconds of Play When Wiggins Makes Long Basket Giving McPherson One Point Margin

SCORE IS 17-11 AT HALF

In Last Half McPherson Makes up for Inaccurate Shots with Close Guarding

Tbe McPherson College Bulldogs basketball team met the Friends Quakers on the latter's court at Wichita last Friday night In a game that will prove to be one of the most thrilling games of the season. In the last thirty seconds or play a basket was made making the score 28-27 for McPherson.

Doth teams started slowly with Friends taking a 9-5 lead. Time was called by the Bulldogs, but as soon as play again started the quickly scored four baskets on some weird shots, to Increase their lead 17-5. At this point the Quaker coach made a disastrous more by substituting four players. This more gave the Bulldogs an opportunity to reduce the lead la 17-11, by half time.

The game was especially exciting In the last half The Bulldogs finding It very difficult to hit the basket although many shots were taken, made up for this by close guarding and hard fighting to retain the ball from Friends.

As the game neared its close, the Quakers continued to hold a six point lead, at this stage of the game McPherson rallied—Wiggins shot a one banded banket from the side and was fouled while Shooting. He missed his free throw, but Pauls obtained possession of the ball, and flipped It back Into the basket. Friends added a free throw to Increase their lead to three, but Pauls made another basket to cut Friends lend to a single point.

Less than a minute remained to play, as Wiggins obtained possession of the ball, and dribbled up to the center of the floor where he hesi-tated a moment, then arched a long shot Into the basket to give the Hull-dogs a well-earned victory.

No player stood out In the teams' victory. The team experienced difficulty In hitting the basket, but their determination to win carried them through.

MANY BOOKS ISSUED

Three Hundred Volumes On In One Day

Did you comment on the fact that so many people frequent the library the last time you had to hunt to

and a seat? Miss Heckethorn says even Impending examinations did not bring out so large a group last term. Three hundred books were out one day last week. Have the students suddenly divided to get a-head with their work, or are they farther behind this term than usual?

CHEMISTRY CLUB HAS ANNUAL PARTY FRIDAY

Approximately Forty Students Play Rook at Social

Last Friday evening beginning at 7:30 the Chemistry Club had its annual social. The party was arranged and supervised by the social committee of the Chemistry Society. Letteer Lewis Is chairman of the committee which number among its members Lola Hawkins, Elaine Beard. Gladys Riddell. and John Austin.

Moat of the evening was enjoyably spent playing rook and as the old saying goes "a good time was had by all". The game was played In the progressive manner.

The person having the highest average score was Elsie Lindholm and as a prise she received a beautiful copy of one of Sandzen's etchings, neatly framed.

No rook party is complete without Its atendant "booby” prize and this time it went to Fred Nace. It was nicely wrapped in a large gayly colored box. After carefully undoing the wrapping and opening the lid of the box Mr. Nace discovered a large amount of excelsior. Nestled down In the straw was a small mouse (Yes, it was rubber so there were no

casualties!

After the excitement had subsided a little the party-goers were served with refreshment. These consisted of delirious sandwiches, a tasty salad, and best of all. some home-made coffee. Refreshments were served and prepared by the social committee members with the capable assistance of Esther Brown, student "'dieteti-cian".

There were nearly forty persons present.

CHANGE IS MADE IN MAJOR REQUIREMENTS

Faculty Committee Decides on 20 Hour Minimum and 30 Hour Maximum

For some time the faculty committee on curriculum has been studying the minimum and maximum requirement for the major. At the present time a minimum of 24 hours of college credits is required for the major and no maximum was stated, with the exception of one field.

By a recent vote of the faculty the hours for the major have been changed to a 20 hour minimum and a 30 hour maximum In a department. This does not in any way alter the 15 hour requirement In the division.

The committee feels that this change la the major requirements will give the student more latitude and opportunity for a general course In college while at the same time it will meet the standards of schools to which any student may wish to transfer for graduate work.

On Friday night. January 21, the McPherson College Bulldogs will make their conference debut, when they engage the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes at Salina. This game will also he Kansas Wesleyan's firm conference game. There is no means of comparing the two teams in the games they have thus far played. Kansas Wesleyan will have played

thre games. playing the Fort Hayes Teachers tonight, while McPherson has played two games. McPherson's average for the first two games Is 50% having defeated Friends U. and dropping a game to St. Benedict's. Wesleyan also has a percentage of 50% having lost to Hastings and won from Kearney.

McPherson has five lettermen back while Wesleyan has four, but this advantage is changed by the fact that all four of Wesleyan's lettermen were in the starting lineup in most of the games last year. Included among their lettermen are Dyck. Suran. and Lobdell. forwards, and

Mortimer, guard, With four veterans in the lineup the Wesleyan aggregation will offer some stiff opposition.

Coach Binford will have only one man to put on the floor that has had more than one year's experience. Rock captain, is playing his fourth year for McPherson, while the rest of the squad have had not more than one year’s experience In college basketball The size of the players this year Is rather small. but they have plenty of fight as was shown In the last half of the Friends game.

The team has failed to click con-sistently as yet. which is nothing serious In view of the fact that they have only played two games. Sonic of the men are playing in unfamiliar positions, and it requires time to be-cause accustomed to their present positions Considering this fact and that of the lack of experience in college competition of the players, there is a good reason for the Bulldog's lack of smoothness thus far In the season

The team shows good possibilities, but it will require a little time for It to develop into an efficient basketball machine. However, with plenty of fight and speed, the basketball team will make a good account of Itself In the conference race. Last year Kansas Wesleyan finished one place below that of McPherson in the conference standing.

DON’T WORRY ABOUT YOUR TITLE

Putting a Packard name plate over the radiat or of a Ford does not make a Packard out of it. It will still continue to perform in the same characteristic manner in which a Ford usually performs. It will not take on any Packard qualities.

We hoard a man, who was about to get a new job, worry a whole lot the other day about what his title was going to he.

It occurred to us at the time that he was about to make his own title, and that it wasn't up to him to begin to worry about It before he started to work.

If he was in the Packard class he wouldn’t be long In getting recognized. If be showed Ford performance he would soon be classified properly by his follow workers.

A man classifies himself almost as soon as he goes to work In an or-, ganization.

There are a lot of people who want to have their title fixed first. They are a trifle timid about the demonstration they are about to make. They are not confident enough in their work to permit It to determine their classification.

There are places for Packards and places for Fords. Roth perform efficiently in their places. You can't make a Ford run like a Packard nor a Packard act like a Ford by changing the name plates.

We have known lets of men who wanted Packard titles for doing Ford work. But it never pans oat. A man's work determines his title.— Submitted.

of Franz Crumpacker, with whom most of the students are acquainted.

The Crumpackers write of the Interesting conditions amid which they work. Of the war menace, they write: “For nearly two years this section has been quartering literally thou-sands of soldiers. In some places the population has been nearly doubled-These soldiers like to live in good places so it to no wonder that nearly all the larger temple: and nearly all of the government school buildings and many residences are occupied by them. We are glad to say, that even tho the soldiers are counted by the thousands they are well behaved and pay for what they buy from the merchants and venders and often help to keep the place cleaned up."

The mission In which the Crum-packers work was organized and began work in 1910. According to their letter, “We now have four organized churches with a membership of 1398. but this Is Just a beginning. Our territory has more than a million three hundred thousand people in it, Not quite one Christian to every thousand folks. At the end of 1931 our Christian schools had 706 boys and girls enrolled. About sixty Chi-. nese and thirty foreign workers give their time to nurturing the Christians teaching, and evangelizing the Non-Christians. Each worker is responsible for more than fifteen thousand people. This Is not a small job."

All the benefits of the mission station cannot be told in the number of Chinese Christians. Mr. Crumpacker points out that, during the last 25 years, the missions have been instrumental in bringing about better general living conditions, better schools, more equality of men and women; the standard of living is higher in nearly all elements. Mr. Crumpacker refers to these improvements as “the by-products of Christianity.”

QUIPS AND QUIBBLES

COMPETING WITH OURSELVES

It is hard enough to compete with the other fellow. But the hardest Job any man has is to compete with himself. There is no mystery about, competing with others. They beat you. or yon beat them, and that's all there is to it. Everybody sees the results. But a man may be thoroughly outdone by himself without recognizing the cause.

There are several danger signals which we may all watch, however; and they will guide us.

First, we should beware of being dilatory. Putting things off is one of the sure indications that our feet are on the brink of the “slippery slope.''. It is easy to deceive ourselves. We say we are “waiting for the proper Inspiration " Or we allow ourselves to think we are "too busy" to attend to this or that—meanwhile sorting out all the easy things to do and side-tracking the jobs that are hard or distasteful.

Inspiration comes from action. It is the result of making up one's mind to take the plunge, Resolve, for instance, that you are going to call today on the hardest prospect you know; see yourself if that won't start your wits to working; or pick out the hardest job on the schedule, for today's program-and go at It Then note how mountain of difficult-ties fade away.

Some men never have "inspiration'' and never do big things—not because they lack the ability, but because they can't make up their minds to act.

Another danger signal is losing interest in one's work. This is a red flag that denotes calamity ahead. No one ever yet lost interest In a Job at which he really worked up to the limit of his capacity—-unless he happened to he a misfit. And the misfits are very few compared with those who grow stale through Indolence, Don't ask yourself if you are a misfit. Ask, rather. "Am I doing my work in the limit of my ability?"

It is when we quit working our job and it begins to work us that wo get bored. We don't get something for nothing in this world—least of all do we get happiness out of our daily tasks without paying the price of good hard work.

Another danger is the hankering after changes. It is the old. old story of pastures that always look greener on the other side of the fence. Some do well as long as their work has newness and novelty. But about the time they have gained experience and are prepared to make their efforts count they got the "wanderlust." They make good apprentices but not master-craftsman.

A prosperious business never ceases to grow and make room for those who demonstrate their merit It is only when the man himself ceases to grow that he finds his opportunities limited and feels the urge to make other fields.—J. Ogden Armour.

the game Friday spent some time at an ice-skating rink afterwards However. Orval Eddy restrained himself from skating for fear he might break the Ice. Lloyd Larsen refrained for fear he might break—other things.

The other day Millicent Nyquist found out that Willard Brammel and Warner Nettleton are not the same people. Maybe she couldn't tell them apart because they both sing.

S'funny? Prof. Voran used simply to haunt the dormitories. But since, a certain day in December he has been sticking closely to home, and—?

Just to prove that people always have a desire aroused for anything they know they can't get or have the basketball players have been known to purchase candy bars immediately after meals.

Several of the boys seem to be spending a lot of time studying for what they believe to be a quiz in campusology. Funny that girls are the best tutors.

Appendicitis is catching. Absolutely proved: Here we have had no ap-pemdectomies performed on any of our students for months—and then the local hospital gets two of our choice pupils at once.

Prof. Blair advocates college as a matchmaking place. Maybe that Is the reason he always lets his stu-dents sit where they please—in or-der to follow their own inclinations.

•"Tufty" wine blithely admits that he once burnt his forehead trying to steam his hair. We wondered where he got those "curly" locks.

Some pretty good chapels last week, don't you think? My! My! Two plays—mind you, more than one. And then a speech on technocracy! Too bad It can't last.

Have yon ever heard of the Mayflower? Do you know what it was? (Not a specie of flora) When Dr. Bright asked what the Pilgrim ship was, Elrae Carlson didn’t know—or wasn't listening.

We were wondering If you had ever heard of a few unusual words or expressions such as the following; depression, technocracy, prohibition, Intramural, examinations, lack of height, and "I’m swamped with work.” Somehow they have a familiar sound.

Talk about quick exchange artists. Esther Brown started dressing in her Cheerette costume when the supper bell started ringing and was dressed by time it stopped. And boys’ clothes at that.    

Although we might have guessed It. We ne'er thought she'd have expressed it.

The above flight Into higher literary art was caused by the following incident: One day when Lola Edwards was admiring the products of the woodwork students she sighed and let out some startling information, "How I wish I were a Carpenter.”

Surely, they must not serve enough meat In the dormitory. When Ruth Tice flung her arm in Lois Fry's face at basketball practice. Lola promptly took a bite of the flesh. Rath carried the print of her molars for a while. Cannibalistic, eh?

STUDENT SUFFERS GREAT MANY HALLUCINATIONS AS HE PREPARES TO STUDY FOR THE EXAMINATIONS

10:15 and All is quiet! I tell you. now. I hate to be a window snooper, but to get my dope on this “Burning Of The Midnight Oil”. I have endured And seen very much. Seven hours did I rake and page through my brain volumes but to find it useless. Then, I received a great fear— fear of public cursing and scorn—especially from my readers and editor.

I    decided it useless to ever attempt such a thing. So I took It upon myself to end It all. as wall as myself, and I ventured over to the beloved chemistry laboratory. Here I spied Bottle No. 313—"Make-Ye-Invisible Chloric Acid." The directions said to take 17 swallows and eat 5 cakes of yeast. This I did. and soon I found myself going through the agony of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde—and I found that my feet would not stay on the ground floor.

The neat minute I found myself outside the girl's dormitory and floating from one window to the next.

Then I entered into the building thru the open window of Esther Pole's room. I bumped into Zelta Oxley and I screamed. I guess she' wondered what happened to her because she looked white as a sheet and of course who wouldn't when someone that you couldn’t see had hit you. I went on down the hall and saw the whole bunch of feminine flock studying. I realized that much college fuel was being used up on this night because the gals were using the motto “Burning the midnight oil“. I could not stand to see such a dull place, so I flew out of Merle Fisher's window.

Then I circled the boys’ dormitory from the outside. I heard the

11    o'clock clock strike. Then I mustered up enough nerve to enter the boys' rooms by going Into Walter Weddle's window. My tour of the place Inside was much the same as in the women's abode. Yes, I really drew the conclusions that the boys' were burning the nightly fuel. I couldn't stand to see Fred Nice and Raymond Tace. or what have you. going through such pains, especially such caretaking pains. I exited through Williard Brammel's room and found my head ached miserably.

What to do About it? I was a long way from home and I just couldn't turn out the light and go to sleep.

I ventured on down the Hill avenue and LO and BEHOLD the professors lights were still burning. Yes. every, one of them were hard at their night's task.—EXAMS., of course.

When I came to Doc. Harnly's place I saw both him and John laboring industriously. I decided to take a peep at the questions—When I felt somebody pinching me- Wow. how, that hurt, To my surprise, I found my father awaking me from a long dreary nap over my history book which I had so soon forgotten after venturing into my glorious dream I found the time to be 11:15 and gee!—Was I burning MY midnight oil? Yes, I then set to work and— say why couldn't my dream have, lasted until I'd seen those test questions?—OH. well. I'll see them soon. enough at the next exam period.

LIBRARY ACQUIRES NEW PIECES OF FURNITURE

The library office is the proud possessor of two now pieces of furniture. The are depression furniture, for they cost nothing but time and energy, but they are none the less ingenious, acceptable, and usable.

One is a book shelf, that Invaluable accessory of every library. The other Is a desk, though at first glance it appears to be a sewing machine. It should look like a sewing machine, however, for It used to be one. The machine has been removed, and the frame converted into a desk. It boasts a special flat drawer for pencils and pens; its other drawers are the usual size. The desk Is especially convenient, for It can easily be rolled to wherever the librarian wants It. when she wants It there.

STUDENTS SPEAK IN CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR

Dean Mohler mentioned and dis- cussed four types of crises which young people are likely to have to meet. The first crisis, leisure, is a problem because most of us have ed- ucated ourselves for work Instead of Idleness. Mohler suggested several things that would facilitate adjustment to leisure: interest in music, reading, art, and an avocation.

"Unemployment" was the second crisis discussed by Dean Mohler. He suggested that we should broaden out and not narrow ourselves down to one job. We should learn to be happy without spending. Mohler next spoke of the crisis of sorrow, He said education should provide for on adjustment to this crisis, which can enrich our lives If we have sufficient reserve. The last crisis Dean Mohler spoke of was that of temptation. The speaker said the dangerous age Is not 15 but 50, because of the added temptations and responsibilities that come with age. Education should build up reserves that will help us to withstand temptations.

Ward Williams gave a short introduction to Dean Mohler's talk. Archie Lindholm opened the meeting, and Lilburn Gottmann closed it.

Playing a steady, deliberate offensive with a tight defense the Bulldogs were the superior team for the first twenty minutes Replogle opened the scoring with a gift shot and a few minutes later scored from the field with a beautiful shot from the side. St. Benedicts drew a foul and made good the shot. Shortly after. Reinecker dropped In a long one making the store 5 to 1. Rock dribbled In for a set-up and the Bulldogs had a 7 to 1 advantage. St. Benedicts made good another gift shot and Wiggins and Johnson entered the game Again St. Benedicts let a was fouled and another score was chalked up for the Ravens from the free throw line. After some neat pass work St, Benedicts worked the ball In for a close shot and scored their first field basket of the game. Johnston retaliated with one from the side and the half ended with McPherson leading 9 to 5 having a decided advantage In passing and floor work while holding the visitors to a minimum number of shots.

It was in the second half that the greater endurance of the visiting team began to get results. The count was soon knotted and the Ravens had taken a comfortable lead before the Bulldogs again scored. The lack of height which has been a cause for much worry this season was very much In evidence throughout the entire period Not being able to control the tip. the bulldogs were forced to the defensive and they lacked the thrive to fight for the ball.,

Professor Hess gave an enigma: For six weeks he had wondered why his debate team, had lost and be finally decided that it was because there was no pep meeting preceding the tournament "Winning is the decision to do so.” Hews stated.

This interesting program was planned by the cheerleaders. Etta Nickel and Gordon Kraus, Prof. Alvin C. Voran, and Coach Melvin Binford.

Chet Johnston is recovering from a series of bolls that have been bothering him and Is allowing up well In games. He Is very fast and has a good basket eye. Yoder has a good record on defense from his guard position. In the St. Benedict's game he held the flashy Merwick to six points and his man was held to one point In the friends game.

Reinecker has been putting lots of fight In the bulldog defense and has contributed to the scoring with some nice long shots. He has lots of drive and has been using It to advantage. Replogle is proving to be a valuable man to the Bulldog team both on of-fense and defense He handles the ball well and works In well with the Binford system of offense.

Last Wednesday at 3:30 Pauls' class A basketball team swamped Wiggins' boys by a 58-18 score. At half time Pauls' team led Wiggins’ team 29-12.

Box score:

Wiggins has fully recovered from the flu and turned In a great game against friends Friday night. His long shots have been connecting rather regularly and his defensive work has been good Stoner, letter-man from last year Is fitting In well with Binford's new system of play and will probably see action In a number of games.
