McPherson defeats

BETHEL FIVE 26-25

Rock Makes Concluding Point After Gun Has Gone Off for End of Game

SCORE IS 15-15 AT HALF

Game Is Close All Way with Both Teams Fighting Hard

The Bulldogs won a hard fought game from the Bethel Graymaroons in the closest game that has been played at Convention Hull this season. The final score was 26-25- In favor of McPherson. Captain Rock making the deciding point on a free throw after the gun had sounded for the end of the game.

The Bethel quintet, feeling quite confident after trouncing the Bulldogs 38-23 on the tenth of February, ran up a seven to nothing lead in the first few moments of play. Their march in victory was broken however, when Jamison connected with the basket In a tip goal. He fol-lowed that quickly with another and then H. Johnston delivered on a splendid pass from center by Pauls. When Bethel called time out the score was 7-8 In favor of McPherson.

After time out Bethel evened the store and then regained the lead with an overhead shot from the foul gone. Coach Binford substituted Reinecker for Wiggins. Bethel continued to lead and Captain Rock substituted for Reinecker. The Bulldog offense gathered headway and the half ended with a goal by Jamison that tied the score 15-15.

The second period began with Jamison taking the tipoff. The first part of the half was characterized by many fumbles and poor plays. Bethel called time out. From this point the game was a constant buttle with Bethel leading by a scant margin. Yoder was taken out and C. Johnston put In the game. Johnston came through with a goal. The offense of McPherson rallied and the score of the home team climbed from 17-21 In favor of Bethel to a tie of 22-22. Pauls went out and Wiggins substituted. Bethel came back with a field goal and then a free throw. There was little time left and the Bulldogs fought desperately. H. Johnston missed a free throw. In the scramble that followed he was fouled and made both shots good. The score was 24-25. The crowd went wild. Another free throw for McPherson tied the game. Bedlam ensued. Both teams played wild in an effort to make a final score. Time after time the ball changed hands as the players strained every nerve to send it toward the home goal. In the last seconds Rock was fouled as he tried for a goal. The gun sounded and the onlookers became still as Rock took his place on the free throw line.

Twice Rock set himself to throw when altercations prevented him. On the motion of the referee he tried for point and the ball went for to the side of the basket. The hull returned and with hardly a glance he shot. The sphere rose in a clean arc, dropped down towards the basket, rolled crazily around the rim, paused on the. forward edge, and dropped through to give McPherson a lead of one point, making the final score 25-20 in favor of McPherson.

The game was characterized by some fumbling and wild playing, but there was on the whole a great deal of hard fast playing. The Bulldogs

EDWARD FRANTZ SPEAKS IN MONDAY’S CHAPE

Speaks on Youth in First Chapel of Regional Conference

The opening chapel of the regional conference was held Monday, February 20. The Rev. Hay Zook led the morning prayer. Or. Edward Frants, third president of McPherson College speaking.

Dr. Frantz served as president and teacher here, for seventeen years. He Is now editor of the Gospel Messenger.

In his Interesting talk on youth Dr. Frantz brought out three points.

His first one was the Inquisitive-ness of youth. He Is ever asking what he should do to have abundant life. The older people are too sophisticated and self-centered to bother asking questions. It takes the in-quisitiveness of youth to ask questions.

Revolt against authority is the second act typical of youth. Youth takes nothing for granted; it finds out for Itself. "Seek and ye shall find" was the Bible reference to this. but one should seek courteously, reverently, and respectfully. One should be respectful to the achievements and experiments of other ages.

The lure of possible rewards attracts youth. There are two limitations in discovering truth. One is that which is valuable should be selected and a person should not with to find out things faster than they can be borne. Youth should learn to live victoriously and triumphantly in the midst of things one cannot answer.

Following this Interesting talk the trustee, were presented to the stu-dents.

[ Editor's note: A few weeks ago In Y. M. C. A. Prof. S. M. Dell read a paper on “Parking Your Mind". So few students heard this excellent paper which compares minds to automobiles that It was decides lo publish the principal part.)

Coming home from Topeka a number of years ago, where a few of as had been attending a Y. M. C. A. meeting, we had gotten a few miles south of Lindsborg when we noticed lights ahead. We discovered that a little Ford bad parked Itself cross-wise In the road and then bad died as completely as though its end had come. It was a little after midnight and had been raining for more than an hour. Cars were returning from the ’‘Messiah" and because they could not get around the Ford and because it refused to run, 180 cars and several busses were held up.

JUNIORS HAVE MEETING

Thursday morning at 10:00 o'clock the Junior class held a meeting to discuss the advisability of having a junior-senior banquet and a class sneak.

CALLED LION TAMERS

Various Problems Are Decided In the Basement Room By Paul Booz

The Underworld of McPherson College    gathers    each    noon to    eat

lunch in a room a short distance removed from the room of Professor Hess and little farther removed from the Y. W. C. A. room. The Underworld have in the past called them-selves the Lion Tamers and have rallied the name by taming several lions

One of the leading Tamers Is. Mike Stucky,    president of    the student

council,    strong    man,    chemist,    and

methane maker    par excellence.    El

mer Staats, debater and Intellectual giant, and John Goering of the caliber are two other leaders of the group. Some of the less experienced members are James Robertson, Robert Brooks. Eldred Mathes, Paul Booz, Luther Horn, and John Fri sen.

Dining the last six months a great many experiences have come to the group. At one time some of the weaker sex attempted to gain en trance into the stronghold and wort only repelled by the appearance of Mike Stucky's face In the doorway. This alone bespeaks the power of Mr. Stucky over women. Another experience w«s the witnessing of a boxing match between Suttle and Gott-man. It was very Interesting to watch Mr. Gottmann duck the wild swings of Suttle of which there were many.

The discussions of world situations and some other situations also take a large part of the time. One day Brooks said he'd rather be killed by a shell from a large gun than from a rifle shells because a large shell travelled slower. This statement developed into an argument between Stucky and Brooks as to whether rifle bullets were slower than others or not. The argument was not settled until Stucky said that Professor Bowman had agreed with him, because the professor had high regard for his (Stucky's) Intellectual powers.    

Other arguments ranged from the subjects of technocracy to the size of Dusty Rhoades shoes.'

SOPHOMORES HAVE PARTY

Side Headed by Harry Frantz Wins Most Contests

Friday night the Y. W. C. A. room was the scene of a gay party when the sophomore class got together.

The evening was spent in playing games and contesting. The class was divided Into two groups headed by Dean Replogle and Harry Frantz. The prize of the evening was award-ed to Harry Frantz's side for having won the largest number of contests.

Couples were paired by lining the girls on one side of a closed door, the boys on the other side, with a string between. The couples who grasphed the string at the same time were partners for refreshments which closed an evening of fun and merriment.

Ruth Hobart and Galen Ogden planned the entertainment for the evening, while Elsie Lindholm. Grace Lerew, and Marjorie Brown served on the refreshment committee.

You may have heard Marjorie Brown talking about "pig-saw juz-zles", but that’s only because her tongue got twisted around when she went to speak of Jig-saw puzzles.

During heart sister week Chris Johansen was to be the receiver of a lovely box of candy, but due to some entanglement be did not receive these delicacies. The donor did not have his name in a prominent place, or else it was not there; so the candy was handed to Grace Heckman, who naturally thought It was from her mysterious sister, and ate It. And the giver wondered why Chris did not acknowledge the gift.

How about sleeping In classes especially when you’re sitting on the first row and there are eight or ten visitors attending the session of said class? But there may be a legitimate excuse—huh. Martha?

At the sophomore party one of the contests was that a chosen boy should dress a chosen girl In paper attire. The equipment given was pins, paper, and scissors. David Duncanson had the privilege of making Maxine Ring's attire, while Dorothy Feary was LaVere Flora’s model. Mrs. Replogle, who acted as Judge, claimed David's creation as the best. She commented, "As long an It was to be a dross, I like Maxine's best,”

Of all childish and Infantile things! Miss Lehman's tea-thirty class walked out and hid from her due to her delinquency for not getting to class. Like many other precious losses—they returned.

Still the giver of the Y. W. radio keeps on mysterizing! If something doesn't happen pretty soon. Interest may die out and people may even forget that that radio is not a tradition of the college.

Everyone from Dr. Schwalm to Ward Williams has been accused of giving the radio.

Miss Lehman says that she would like to know who the unknown Is bo-cause she would like to have a radio, too.

Rather exciting, eh, to try to figure out which student is related to which trustee? Or who Is the father of whom.

Or maybe It’s mother, sister, brother. or uncle. It seems that almost everyone can claim someone who Is here for the regional conference as a relative.

Since the honor roll has come not a few students are rationalizing about the reason their names did not appear. Oh well, we were too busy to study, too.

Replogle baa finally decided where the radio In the Y. W. room came from. At the sophomore party egg shells were used In a contest. Later one broken shell was found by the radio, and Rep remarked that the radio must have hatched from there.

Almost everyone has heard this

LIVING CREATIVELY IS THEME OF C.E. PROGRAM

Different Students Discuss Topics—Beam Sings

"Living Creatively" was the central three of Sunday's Christian Endeavor program, led by Everett Fasnacht.

"Gaining Vision and Serenity through Silence" was discussed by Genevieve Crist. She outlined four points of gaining vision through silence. namely: for soul cleansing, building reservoirs of thought, patiences and persistances, and by meditating we gain strength. Lawrence Lehman spoke on "Seeking Beauty." and gave examples of finding beauty In the flaming glory of Kansas sunsets. He alto showed that we all have a daily opportunity to find nature In our daily living.

Elizabeth Wagoner spoke on "Cul-tivation of Friendship and Fellow-shop." showing that a common cause was necessary before a deep friendship could develop. She says that friendships result In mutual self knowledge. The last subject, "Recover Strength through Penitence." was discussed by Delvis Bradshaw who stated that the laxity In our codes implies that sin Is abroad, necessitating a great need for penitence.

Harold Ream gave a vocal solo. Little Mother of Mine." He was accompanied by Lois Edwards.

It has been so long since I've had to open the library, I forget that It Is my turn and try to walk right through the door; I decide, of course, that I'd better unlock It first. Ho. bum! look at that stack of books; I wonder who didn't finish clearing the desk. I might as well start, so here goes. I find the cards for the books,' and discover that some new ones have to be made. I only get started when Everett Fasnacht appears; "Hey! You’re one of the assistants; show this girl where there Is a map of Kansas.—I wouldn't ask

you If I knew myself. (And yet some people think the librarian knows everything!)

Now for making the slips for overdue hooks. That Is hardly begun when Miss Heckethorn says, "The truck ought to be emptied this hour, and by the way. you can work on some of the new books If you have time." By this time there are a bunch of cards to file. I do that, and finish making the slips.

Now. I think, I may hare time to write the story Una asked for this morning. But such things don't happen, for Mary Jane comes up and asks for the "Time". I tell her there is the clock, but she says she means the magazine. Time. When I tell her "No we don't have the Time Maga-gine," I wonder if we even have any other kind of time.

That truck Is fuller than ever: I must got some of the hooks’ put away. I manage to get the books, most of them, on the shelves when l hear the bell. Who Is It? Oh. well, since it's Lester Pote, he can wait a minute until I get the lust book on the shelf. I find the magazine he wants, and start stamping the new ones which have come In the mail.

Here Is Professor Hess. He wants to read the newspapers where they have been dipped. That Is rather hard to do. Will someone lend him the clippings or tell him where they are? They are yesterday’s newspapers but he hasn't examined them yet. I find a clipping or so, and am still looking tor more when Ernest Sweetland pops up: "Where are today's papers? Haven't they come yet? Why don't you get them here a little earlier?” I explain to him that we can't help It: he'll have to talk to Beanie's dad If he wants them any earlier.

After I get Margaret some blue-black Ink to substitute for the black she really wanted. I find a lot of kids at the desk. Marcella wants Primitive Music whose author starts with a W. I tell Fasnacht It Is his turn to help me. so he gets It for her. Lola wants that "red book that Deardorff used for rhetoric the other day.” Likely as not. there's a green one Just like it. Grace wants to know where all the Child Psychology hooks are. There really ought to be at least three copies of each book to go half way around the class. Laurel comes up Just then and says: "Where's that book by Ibid? I've looked everywhere, and I Just can't find it?" Even though she has taken Library Science, she wonders why I laugh. (Right here, may I advise anyone who doesn't know Ibid to ask a dictionary.)

I check in the magazines I stamped awhile ago and put them on the racks. Then I get the papers, which have arrived by this time, and put them on the sticks. The desk Is to be cleared again, and I begin hunting cards when I hear. "Say. where's the new American?” from Ralph Sweetland. I tell him he will have to wait a day or so, and he Is satisfied—for the time being—with another magazine "Which has some good stories In It." Blanch Harris wants a book that stands right up there: he doesn't know the title.

Stories must not be the only things that students read, for Raymond Buskirk Is calling for the Parents Magazine—the current one—he cannot find It anywhere on the rack In the north room. I get It for him from the rack In the south room; but I wonder what he wants It for anyway.

A few of the things that are asked at the desk are the following: "Can you tell me what I want?” "I want a copy of Lowell with Thanatopsis In It." "I want Evangeline, I think It Is anonymous.” "Give me Birds and Their Tributaries."

With all this occupying only about two hours or less, is It any wonder that I'm glad that I do not have charge of the library all the time?

MUSICAL PROGRAM IS

PUT ON IN ASSEMBLY

High School Band Members and College Students

The chapel of last Friday consisted entirely of musical selections rendered by a group of McPherson High School music students trained under Mr. August San Romani. Also numbers were given by a group of students from the fine arts department of McPherson College.

38-26.

Baker lost an exhibition last week to the College of Emporia, 26-35, and Ottawa bowed before the Pres-bies. 37-38, but Bethany prevented the Central conference team from making a clean sweep In the circuit by beating C. of E. Friday night at Lindsborg. 24-22.

Obstacles remaining between Wesleyan and the championship are Bethany and McPherson, both of which have been taken by the Coyotes this season.

The Coyotes play Bethany next Friday night and McPherson the following Tuesday in their final conference game. The other conference came billed for this week Is between McPherson and Ottawa at Ottawa. Friday night.

If Ottawa had any hopes of a basketball title to match their football title. Wesleyan gave them a severe jolt lust week by a decisive victory on the former’s court. The race Is not settled yet, however Wesleyan is holding the most strategic position at present By beating both Bethany and McPherson the Coyotes will hare the title. Should they drop one of them they can still tie for first place and If Ottawa is humped again Wesleyan would still have the title. Followers of the Bethany and McPherson teams aren’t sure that Wesleyan will win cither one of their remaining games even though they won from both the teams In earlier games. To say the least the conference Is In more of a mixup than at any time since Its formation.

The responsibility of keeping the game from going an extra period rested upon the shoulders of Rock. After the crowd was almost thrilled enough for one night. Rock steps to the free-throw line, misses the first one and lets the second one roll around on the hoop for a few sec-onds and then roll gently through.

The real test of the Bulldogs will come this week when they play Baker. Ottawa and St. Benedict’s on suc-cessive nights. If the same brand of ball is displayed as was shown against Bethel, they will bring home some victories.

The trustees and visitors seemed to enjoy the game as much as any of us.

In the preliminary game Monday night the Bulldog second team do-touted the Alden high school tean. The Alden team played good ball and held the second team to a low score. "Rube" Bowman, former McPherson College football player is coaching at Alden.

By the end of the season Coach Binford should have a good Idea as to the strong and weak points of his team. The basketball coaching class is keeping a complete record of the games played here as well as several played away from home. It might be added, the records will be a trifle Incomplete If there are many more games such as the one with Bethel. Several persons who were taking data on the game said they became so excited that they missed a shot or a pass that was taken now and then.

UNDERWORLD IS HEARD

(Continued from Page One)

debaters all arguments are carried on In all ways, probably as a relief from the formal debating before Professor Hess. Nevertheless, most of them are exceedingly Interesting, duo to quite unusual methods of illustration.

Staats is the man who checks the statements with facts, as he reads on every subject from new typos of mouse traps to moans of controlling the Doukhobors. However, there has been one argument which Staats has not been able to settle. That argument in the one between Robertson and John Friesen as to whether John’s Ford rides rougher than a rat’s tricycle on a washboard. The fooling of the group leans toward the smoothness of the latter.

It Is very probable that in the fu-ture many of the ideas which have been mulled over in that group will be Incorporated Into the activities of the world and people look back and thank those things which made it necessary to take their lunches to school.

OFFICE CORRECTS ERRORS

IN ADDING HONOR ROLL

A few mistakes were made at the office last week In adding up th points students received in making the honor roll.

Margaret Schwartz made forty-six points Instead of thirty-seven, and Gladys Riddell, who was not named, should have received honorable mention with thirty-seven points.
