SCHWALM SPEAKS ON LIVES OF THREE MEN

Telia Under Which Case College Students Fall

President V. F. Schwalm spoke in chapel Wednesday morning. February 8. He based his talk upon the lives of three young men mentioned In the New Testament, the prodigal son, the rich young ruler, and Jesus.

Into which group do we as college students fall? In the first case, the son left home and went Into a faraway country. When he lost all his friends, money, and character, he returned home. This young man manifested the wreckage of sin. Sin starts at low levels and is evident in some activities of collegiate life. "One always pays the price of living on low levels." Schwalm stated.

The question of the rich, young ruler was “What may I do that I may have eternal life?” He, like many people today, saw the gleam of the distant goal, but seeing the price of obtaining It. turned away. Oftentimes college students fall to pay the price for high character and achievement.

Jesus made the world over with His new principles. He was opposed and humiliated but became the world's greatest hero. He saw the vision, knew the price and paid it and became a victor. There Is a religious need for victories today and this need can be fulfilled in the oncoming religious week.

BEAT BETHEL

MONDAY NIGHT!!!

LINCOLN IS REMEMBERED IN THE CHAPEL PROGRAM

The chapel. Monday. February 13, had for its theme Lincoln's birthday. The Gettysburg Address was read responsively. Ward Williams told some of the true happenings in Abraham Lincoln’s life, many of them humorous. One of the most Interesting was an Incident about Lincoln's rejection. He fell duty-bound to propose, and almost disappointed when he found out that the corpulent lady did not care for him after all.

SACRED PLAY IS GIVEN BY DRAMATIC STUDENTS

“At the Gate Beautiful” Is Presented in Church—Scene Is Laid at Temple

"At the Gate Beautiful", a play written by H. S. Mason. was presented by the Principles of Interpretation and Dramatic Art classes at the Brethren Church Sunday evening. It was directed by Genevieve Crist.

The scone of the play was laid In Jerusalem at the gates of the Temple which could be seen at the back of the stage. A render of Idols sits al the Temple gates and cry his wares to those who came to worship. There comes also to this place the unbeliev-ing Berith to seek a cure for her son who was fast dying. Demas. the rendor of Idols sells a statue of Diana to her with the promise that her son would be cured If she would be faithful to her god. Then comes Abigail, a Christian, and her healthy non. Is-sachor; when she discerns the trouble of the other woman she at once beseeches her to follow the Christ who has the power to heal the sick. Berith cannot - but value the god whom she had to purchase above the Christ she could have but for a little faith. A lame man Is brought before the gates of the Temple to beg. He Is healed by Peter and John because of belief In the Christ. At last. Diana failing her. Berith again comes to the Temple Cate and there finds Peter and John who tell her of the Christ and his powers of healing.

The cast consisted of Demos, vendor of Idols, Alex Richards: Berith, \ Jewish mother and an unbeliever, Mary Miller: Abigail, a Christian Jewish mother. Lets Wine: Issachar. Abigail's son, Artis Hershey: Raa-mah. a cripple. Willard Brammel: Peter, a disciple, Milton Early: John. a disciple, Donald Dresher: Citizens of Jerusalem, Corinne Suter. Odessa Crist, Clarice Evans. Raymond Bus-kirk. Samuel Stoner, Melvin Landes and Blanch Harris. All the parts were well-played, probable honors going to Mary Miller. Willard Brammel. Leta Wine, and Alex Richards.

Those In charge of the scenery were Miss Hoerner and Mrs. Wagoner. John Harnly, Harold Johnston and Marjorie Barber were responsible for the scenery and stage settings. Ada Brunk, Florence Dresher and Bernice Fowler served on the make-up committee.

BOYS SPONSOR CHAPEL

WHICH INSTIGATES PEP

A clever and comical stunt was put on by four boys In pep chapel Thursday, when Delbert Kelly, representing McPherson, and Milton Early, representing Ottawa, each tried desparately to get Into a small box which had been previously placed on tbs stage. Finally after many wild maneuvers, and the shedding of various amounts of wearing apparel In order to make themselves smaller, Delbert Kelly was able to enter successfully the little box, closing the lid after him. guy Hayes and Tuffy Wine dressed to the red and white of the college came In to carry off a McPherson College victory.

Friday. Feb. 17-- Sophomore class party.

BULLDOGS ARE TO PLAY BETHEL MONDAY NIGHT

Coach and Team Expect to

Turn in Victory to Make Up for Last Week’s Loss

NEWTON HAS STRONG TEAM

Large Crowd Is Expected since Game Will B During Regional Conference

The Bulldogs do not have a basketball game this week, but on Monday of next week, the men of Binford will play host to Bethel College of Newton.

Neither Coach Binford nor the team seem to be very well satisfied with the way the Bulldogs played at Bethel last Friday when they were defated 38-23, and expert to turn In a win here Monday night.

Bethel has a strong team this year, but the Bulldogs have the "stuff" In them to defeat the Newton cagers and Coach Binford and his team are determined to do it.

A large number of outsiders and friends of the college will undoubtedly attend this game as the Regional Conference will be In session here at that time. A fast preliminary game will be played at 7:00 o'clock with the main attraction at 8:15.

An unusually large number of students have rated high In scholarship for the last semester, fourteen having made the honor roll and eighteen having obtained honorable moo-lion. Last year at this time only one person bad enough honor points to be listed.

To get bis name on the honor roll, a student must get forty honor points; to get honorable mention ho must gain thirty-five points. A person receives three points for each A hour, two for each B hour, One for a C hour, and none for any grade lower.

Elmer Staats carries off the high-est scholastic honors for last semester having received A’s for all his seventeen hours of college work, which gives him 51 honor points. He is closely followed by another A student. John Goering, who has 5O points to his credit.

MOHLER LIKENS JIGSAW

PUZZLES TO HUMANITY

Tells in Y. M. C. A. Important Pieces to Personality

Prof. R. E. Mohler gave a talk In Y. W. C. A. this morning on the subject of Jigsaw Puzzles.

One never knows when he sees the minute pieces of a Jigsaw puzzle what the entire picture will be—usually It will be much more beautiful than one thinks when he sees the mass of seemingly unrelated parts. Human personality has many parts and one never knows what will be the product of that combination of parts.

Three important pieces to the jigsaw puzzle of personality are reli-gious, education, and self-mastery.

Y. M. C. A. ATTENDANCE

Last fall at the beginning of the term of school many students pledged-themselves to regular attendance at Y. M. C. A. and to Increase the actual attendance If possible. Since that time attendance has dwindled and Interest on the part of many has lagged.

It is not necessary or even desirous that all men of the college should become and attend regularly. It la desirous, however, that many should participate and contribute to Its weekly meetings.

The Y. M. C. A. is a student activity. Each-should make his contribution and take a part In Its programs. For the full benefit of everyone this organization requires that each contribute his cooperation and suggestions. This organization has the ability to solve many of the students' common problem providing the members give their-support.

BOTH SIDES

At the age of 65 William Allen White of Emporia says that his life-motto has been "Ain't It grand to be bughouse?"

"There is no sanity no devastating as utter sanity." he wrote. "Logic Is an addiction that drives men Into acute melancholy and makes dumb bunnies of its devotees," which merely means that man should see and act on only one side of a question at a time;

All this does not Imply that one should not weigh one argument against another In arriving at his decisions. The dullest of the dull, however, are those who see both sides at the same time and cannot act for lack of decision. The person who always sees "two sides" and is unable to decide will accomplish little.

What If Lincoln had paused to meditate the "side" of the South or the revolutionists the British side? With this state of affairs Adam might still be considering the other side of the question.

A great writer has stated: "Would you win success, choose a noble but unpopular cause." In our dally lives we should be devoted to our cause. Seeing both sides at once can lead only to vacillation, lack of despatch, and a zero In our thoughts.

HEART SISTERS

Every girl who has ever participated In heart sister week looks for-ward to It from year to year because of the pleasure It carries with It. There is a lot of enjoyment In receiving things without knowing the name of the giver. and much more pleasure In making life happier for someone else during the week. But why wait for heart sister week to be thoughtful and kind to someone else? Why not make year a "hear sister year?"

The boys may think "heart sister week" Is only for girls. Perhaps It Is, but boys have the privilege of being helpful to their fellow men, also. For them, also, the week should bo extended Into a year, and then longer.

Another thing. A girl or boy should think of more than one person while he or she is being kind. It doesn't help much If a person is thoughtful of one individual alone; and takes no notice of anyone else. While making It a heart sister year, why not do It right, by being real heart sisters to everyone?    

One boy recently made the remark that It should he so arranged that the boys could tell the girls what they thought of them, during heart sister week. If the spirit of heart sister week la carried through the year by everyone, the boys will have the privilege of helping the girls If they care to. Why not?—A heart sister.

GOOD ENGLISH

Do you think that a "Good English Week" would have much effect »n the students of our college? Perhaps It might hole. Such expressions as "I don't hardly think so." "He don't do it right." "I done." are incorrect and unnecessary, but don't they sound familiar? College B. A.'s have been known to use them. Some even say "Somebody learned some-one else something". The first someone must have had great ability!

Colleges exist to help students become more fitted for positions later In life. They have rounded off the square corners of many a green country lad and helped to develop his ability. Of course clothes and good English are not everything in making a success In life, but they do play their part. Impressions go a long way. Let's try to take advantage of our opportunities In learning to speak. well. if not good English, at least good American.—Submitted.

PICK OUT A TROUBLE TREE

A very wise business man we know has what he calls his "Trouble Tree It is located about a block away from his house, where he has to pass it every night on his way home.

"When I reach that tall poplar In the evening," he explains, "I leave all the troubles and worries of the day right there. 'Let them hang on the branches if they want to,' I say to myself, 'I'm through with them for the day.’ And I throw back my shoulders and stir up a grin and get ready for a fine evening with my family.

"I used to take my troubles home to my wife, and often they would stay with me all night, and I’d get up next morning with a grouch. But no more. I hang them on the Trouble Tree and, five nights out of six. they have all blown away by morning."

This man has learned one of the most Important secrets of living happily. He refuses to drag a roll-top-desk home with him every night to spoil the family dinner and to Interfere with his night's rest He retires from business every night and starts in afresh every morning.

Try it on your way home tonight If there aren't any trees on your street, pick out a telephone pole!—Selected.

Big business does not always mean good business,—Ralph Waldo Emerson.

Prosperity is not without many fears and distastes; and adversity la not without comforts and hopes.—Bacon.

Thrift Is the foundation of success in business. of contentment In the home, and of standing in society.—Russell Saga..

HEART SISTER WEEK BRINGS CLEVER GIFTS

Some Girls Receive Candy— Others Have Breakfast in Bed

Abe Lincoln has been a very popular man this week. An abundance of offerings has been laid at his feet only to be snatched away before he could get his bronze (or is It plaster of Paris) bones and muscles to percolating. Notes have been found in his ears, hands, and every other nich and cranny that would hold them.

Candy sales at the book store have picked up considerably in the last few days, also. As a consequence not a few heart sisters have had spoiled appetites at meal times. This is not so invariable, however as shown by the extra table that had to be set in the dining hall for the dinner guests last Wednesday.

Esther Stegeman's heart sister made arrangements for working in the kitchen for her once, and Gretta Wilma's called Tuesday to let her know she was thinking about her. One-day Elsie Rump received a large box, and upon looking inside found one stocking: the next day she got a little box and found therein the mate. Some of the girls have been demonstrating their culinary skill—cake, cookies, fudge, and even strawberry preserves.

Some of the more common but none the less acceptable gifts are handerchiefs, candy bars, station--ary, dishes, notebook paper, candy men; Joke books, flowers, kleenex, perfume, gum. bathsalts, and sachet.  Maxine Ring wrote a note on a valentine, cut It up and gave it to her heart sister to put back together again. Lola Richwine gave Elizabeth Holzemer a pajama bag, and Lola Hawkins got a wall motto. Dorothy Dresher's heart sister was practical and gave her a card with the heart pasted on It under which was a nickel for the Sunday School collection. Beth Bowman got the current Issue of McCall's Magazine."

Margaret Oliver said she liked Italian Balm hand lotion and promptly received a bottle. Modena Kaufman needed an English Literature book, and through the efforts of her heart sister she Is now the proud possessor of that object. Clarice Evans was sent on a wild goose chase and finally ended by finding her grades all listed for her.

Merle Fisher received an Indescribably clever heart her sister made

Among those who attend the Bethel game Friday night were Prof, and Mrs. Alvin C. Voran, Orville Voran. Ruth Hobart, Esther Pote. and Esther Brown.

were especially impressive numbers presumed by the choir.

Reappearing, the male quartette sang in a most commendable way Ne vin's ‘'Venetian Love Song" and an swered with an encore, "Mosqui-toes , by Bliss.

In closing, the entire choir sang Tschaikowsky's "Cherubim Song'', De Lamarter's "A Juno Moonrise", and Cain’s "O Watchers of the Stars".

It is interesting to note that the' program was started with a selection from a composer of the sixteenth century and ended with a composi-tion from a present-day writer, No-bel Cain, who is the director of the A Capella Choir In Chicago.

The title "A Capella" is taken from the Italian and means "unac-companied". The covers of the programs were printed from linoleum cuts which were made by Marjorie Barber.

Much credit is due Professor Vor-an and his choir who In such a commendable manner presented the en-tertainment of the evening.

CHOIR ELECTS OFFICERS

A Capella Chooses Marjorie Barber President

Shank Incorporated has rented out Mother Emmert's bedroom since the Majorie half of the company has gone abed with a pain In her head. Or we suspect that It might be her heart. Or maybe we are mixed up and It Is the Harvey partner that has the pain In the heart—or did you say somewhere else?

McPherson College has gone dry with a vengeance. Even the fountain in the Ad building refused to give up any drop of H20.

It was suggested that Bernice Fow-ler be run through the line and pad-died for not sitting in the rooting section at the last game.

One of the numerous “flu-cold” patients went extravaganza the other day and broke a thermometer. While trying to take her temperature her olfactory organ—plain "nose” to you—began to itch. Nothing daunted she lifted a dainty finger with which to scratch the offending pro-trusion—and out popped the thermometer. And shattered. Only one measly dollar for a new one. Measly? Ob yeah!

The girls who don’t date should quickly move In with those who do —before the candy or flowers they received yesterday are gone.

And that reminds us that yesterday was Valentine's Day. Had you

heard?

There was one little boy who bought a "dreat bid bots of tandy” on Friday. And he gated upon it all day Friday and contemplated the look on the little woman's face when she received it. And on Saturday he gated at the big rod heart—all done up In cellophane—and contemplated again. And he couldn't wait until Tuesday with endless days of contemplating In between. So he gave It to her Saturday night! Oh well, she seemed paaalenty paaaleeesed anyway!

And we wonder If the driver of that taxicab ever found any use for the vest from one tux. A certain tenor—It doesn’t matter who 'cause wo can’t quite remember whether it was Wayne Carr or not. Well, as we wore starting to say, this warbler Is now singing “The Tux I Left Behind Me."

And by the by—as we read In an English - book—-Wayne Carr's suit was one which fitted. 'Twas a Joy to behold, n'cst-ce pas, nicht war, or what have you?

One girl is corresponding with a French boy In Brussels received a large photograph of him Monday. In uniform. And is he handsome? Oooh! la! la! And he said, "My high is just two yards."

Guess Laurel Fields ’just didn't like her lunch the other day. She sat around In the "Y’’ room at noon with great big forlorn eyes. And tried to look stark and starving. Although Laurel hardly needs to watch the calories yet, she succeeded rather poorly In looking bleak and hungry. However, she did excite a little sympathy and different ones offered her sustenance. About the time the meal as a whole was over she remembered that in her. early morning haste she had put her lunch outside In a locker.

Last week one girl put In a rather large order for her Heart Sister. She said that she hoped that her sister would find a way for her to get to the Bethel game.

The next time the trio or quartet performs, why not give a red flag to one so that he may wave It when they should get up to how, so that they could all do It at once. Or better yet. why not sing again?

What we really wanted to see In pop chapel:—Delbert Kelly getting out of that box after he once got In. Ho must either have been curled up like a tomato worm for an hour, or maybe Just suffocated after being locked up In that candy coup—or

cookie crate.

Dresher students Incorporated have been hurt. Last week we said there were only three cars out here on Tuesday. Wrong again! There were four—and the fourth was the Dresher limo. Well, how could one ever see It when it was parked behind the dorm?    

This Is Just about the best one we have beard recently: In order not to have to dole out the necessary shekels to get into the Bethel game. "Benchy" Lichty entered as a player. You know Benchy's size, and the man at the gate looked at him rather questioningly, but let him pass. When Coach arrived, the gateman was so muddled that he asked Binford if he had a short, stocky fellow in a turtle-necked sweater who played on the team. Coach thought over all the players, then brightened and said, “Why yes! That’s Rock, and he's captain of the team.” That man must think we grow big captains here!

Marlene Dappen is at It again. We cant’ seem to keep her out of this column. Now It la her ears that are refractory. You remember the weather last Wednesday? And that the A Capella Choir was making its debut that evening? And that an unfrozen auto was unheard-of? Well, we cere trying to find a way to go, and Molly said that she was going to meet some girls at the laundry. The laundry? That’s a long ways out of her way, and to go there on a stormy wintry night like that! Well! Wo had our Ideas of a girl who would make Molly come to her father’s establishment to meet her. Molly waited at the dark, cold laundry. and finally went across the street to the Mary Ann. where the other girls finally found her. They wouldn't understand why she hadn’t met them In the lobby of the community building.

’ We were clear across on the other side of the auditorium, but we recog-nized Margaret Oliver’s laugh. Even Dr. Schwalm tapped us on the shoulder and said, "Did you hear Margaret laugh? She seems to have a good time wherever she goes.”

Tee hee! You should have gone to Salina, though? Margaret had such a good time that her sister was embarrassed to death by her boister-ousness. We didn’t mind though.

Speaking of lobby-laundry. . . . When Miss Lehman telephoned to Abilene to congratulate the broadcasters she said to the operator, "From McGaffey and Lehman." Then us an afterthought she added, “Make McGaffey '.’ ’ And the operator made It "Pearl McGaffey.” We wondered from whence Pearl McGaffey had sprung.

Yesterday the Topeka Daily Capital stated that ’’Jig-Saw Puzzles are Sporting Goods." Perhaps that accounts for the late-burning light the last several evenings In the coach’s room In the gymnasium, where such puzzles are fitted together.

Then the writer laid dawn his pen. raised his eyes heavenward and sighed. "Another Quip column finished.”

HARNLY TELLS OF HIS EARLY EXPERIENCES

Speak. in Y. M. C. A. of Mc-Pherson College Forty Years Ago

Dr. H. J. Harnly, senior faculty member of McPherson College, spoke to the Y. M. C. A. group Tuesday morning, on ‘‘McPherson College forty-two years ago”. Dr. Harnly came to McPherson College In 1892 and has been on the faculty ever since. Harnly exhibited early catalogs and publications of McPherson College. Among Interesting Items In the catalog was the fact that dormitory student expenses for board, room, and tuition totalled slightly more than $115 per your. Elocution anil public speaking courses were emphasised: later under the direction of Mr. and Mrs. Fahnestock, the commercial department grew to be of paramount Importance.

UNKNOWN FRIEND DONATES RADIO TO Y. W. C. A. ROOM

Heart Sisler Week was brought to an unexpected and happy climax by a large valentine received from a mysterious friend of McPherson College. This friend gave to the girls of the college a Philco radio that was Installed yesterday afternoon In the Y. W. C. A. room.

The girls greatly appreciate It and wish to°thank this unknown donor for such a splendid valentine.

After practice on Monday night, the A Capella Choir held a short business meeting in order to elect officers.

Marjorie Barber was chosen as president; Chris Johansen, vice president; and Newell Wine, treasurer. Faithe Ketterman. who has been secretary from the first of the year was retained in that position.

BRAVES LEAD 32-21 AT HALF

Score of 9-8 in First Half Is Closest Bulldogs Ever Get to Ottawa

The Ottawa University Braves won a Kansas Conference basketball game over the McPherson College Bulldogs Thursday, February 9. at Convention Hall by a score of 50-32.

The conference leading Ottawa quintet took an early lead and leng-thened It as the game progressed. The Braves scored first on a free throw and ran their score up to nine before the Bulldogs were able to register. The Bulldogs scoring ma-chine began to function at this point with the local team scoring eight points making the score nine to night in favor of the visitors. This was the closest that the Bulldogs came to tho Ottawa team.

The remainder of the past half was a free for all scoring game with both teams scoring heavily. Captain Rock came Into the game for McPherson and kept the Bulldogs in the running with some set-up shots. But the entire Ottawa team was hot and they were sinking counters from all over the court. The Ottawa guards wrecked the Bulldog front lino defense and drove through for shots or for passes. The half ended with Ottawa loading 32-21.

Ottawa continued with their fast passing and hot shooting during the last half and Increased their lead over the Bulldogs. The Braves usually received the ball from the tip off and passed fast until someone could get a shot. The game got rather rough during the last half and numerous fouls were called.

Senter and Long each caged a half dozen field goals for Ottawa and Billon made four with three charity-tosses. Captain Rock was high for

BRAVES BETTER CHANCE AT CONFERENCE TITLE

Having defeated the champion Bethany Swedes twice within a week. Ottawa university has well-founded hopes of bringing the Kansas conference basketball title to Ottawa to rest beside the football championship.

'Forewarning of the fall of the champions was given when the Swedes needed an over-time period to subdue lost-place Baker univer-sity, 30 to 28, at Lindsborg a week ago Monday night. Bethany had managed to tie the coant late In the game on two free throws by Anderson, a guard after trailing through most of the contest.

That victory sent the Swedes out of a three-way tie with Ottawa and Wesleyan, but Ottawa rejoined Bethany at the top of the standing Thursday night by defeating McPherson on the Bulldog court. 50 to 32. Senter and Long made half a dozen field goals each and Dillon, the other member of the Braves’ star trio, poured in four goals and three free throws.

Baker. Ottawa forward, and Knap-

per a guard, led the early attack that gave the Braves a 20-15 lead at the half In their game with the Swedes at Lindsborg Friday night. The Braves wound up with a 9-point scoring bee in the last eight minutes and bent the Swedes 39-30, duplicating the feat they accomplished at Ottawa the previous week.

After an Invasion of Nebraska on which they defeated the Kearney Teachers, 47-24, and Hastings college. 37-27, Kansas Wesleyan's Coyotes In the runnerup position, re-sumed conference competition In a game with Bethany at Lindsborg Monday evening and they play Ottawa at Ottawa Friday night and Baker at Baldwin Saturday, figuring In all three conference games billed for this week. On Monday the coyotes strengthened a hold on second place In the conference race by defeating Bethany 26-15.

Baker lost an exhibition decision to Washburn last week, 24-34. and McPherson was taken by Bethel. 23-

38.

The College of Emporia, fifth place team in the Central conference, invades the Kansas conference this week for three games. The Preshies play Baker at Baldwin on Monday. Ottawa at Ottawa Tuesday and Bethany at Lindsborg Friday.

BULLDOGS WILL GO ON ROAD TRIP NEXT WEEK

The latter part of next week the Bulldog cagers will tour the eastern part of the state to play two conference games and one non-confer-ence game. On Thursday Feb. 23. the Bulldogs will play the Raker University Wildcats at Baldwin. The following night McPherson will tangle with the conference leading Ottawa Braves at Ottawa. Then on Saturday night the Bulldogs will be In Atchison to play the Ravens of St. Benedict's. This last game Is a non-conference affair.'

This road trip will probably be very strenuous for the Bulldogs because they will be playing three very good teams. These games with the one with Bethel here on Monday night makes four games In six nights for the Bulldog cagers.

The Bulldogs had what could be termed a good defensive record until last week, but since last week the record could almost be classed as "rotten". Some of the men who had been looking good on defense weakened considerably and were caught flat footed several times In the games last week. Well, those games are over and the Bulldogs have several hard games which they must look forward to.

Coach Binford seemed to realize that the weakness of his men in last week's games because Monday's practice session was spent almost entirely on defense. And believe yoy me Coach surely did work those fel lows," too.

While Bethel was defeating the Bulldogs Friday night, the Swedes were taking a defeat from the fast traveling Ottawa quintet. The Braves have only lost one game in the conference and that was to the last place Baker team.

Monday night the Swedes received another set hack at the bands of Kansas Wesleyan. Bethany annexed fifteen points while the Wesleyan five scored a total of twenty-six points. Bethany held a scant lead of one point at the half, but Wesleyan was too much for them In the last half.

Rock led the scoring of the Bull-dogs in both games last week and it appears as though ho has found himself. and will he able to continue his fast pace. Harold Johnston has been scoring consistently since ho Joined the squad at the beginning of the second semester and also has been doing a good Job of ball rustling.

Next Monday night Bethel will play a return game with the Bulldogs and Binford and his men seem determined to win this game It was very evident that McPherson did not play the game they are capable of playing when they played Bethel last week and want to redeem themselves.

Several other hard games remain on the schedule and only by bard training and good support from the student body ran the Bulldogs come through In these games. The Swedes came here to close the season for the Bulldogs and tills should climax the season.

What a Business!

Two waiters were standing by a table on which Eugene Maguire, after a hard day's work, had fallen asleep.

"I've already wakened him twice,” said the first waiter, "and I'm going to wake him a third time."

"Why don't you wake him and suggest he leave?" asked the other.

The first waiter shook his head artfully. "Nothing doing." he whis-pered. "Every time I wake him up he pays his bill."
