WINGER SPEAKS ON

SECRET OF LIVING

The Reverend W. T. Luckett of Hutchinson. Kansas, opened the chapel services. Thursday. February 23. by leading In prayer.

The speaker for the morning exercises was Otho Winger, president of Manchester College. Manchester. Indiana. He brought the greetings of his college students to the assembled group.

His talk was based on the question. What Is the secret of living? He spoke of the lawyer who asked Jesus what be might do to inherit eternal life, Jesus answered him to love the Lord with all his heart, mind, and strength. ’’This do and thou shalt live," Jesus said. Living, however, (a more than mere existence and more than time stretched over so many

CALL THIRTY THREE FOULS

Kansas Wesleyan University won the Kansas Conference basketball championship by defeating the McPherson College Bulldogs here last night. The final score was 37-25.

This game was one of the roughest ever played on the Convention Hall floor and was fast from start to finish. Thirty-three fouls were called in this game by referee Gene Johnson.

Kansas Wesleyan took an early load scoring a field basket on a block piny at the start of the game. A free throw gave the Bulldogs a point, hut the Coyotes came right hack with another field goal. A Bulldog rally In the latter part of the first half gave the local team their only lead of the game, the score being 12 to 11. Wesleyan then caught McPherson napping and scored some set ups which made the score 18-13 for the Coyotes at half time.

Kansas Wesleyan continued to add to their lead during the last half. Both teams used a hard driving of-fense making the game fast and rough. Pauls and Yoder. Bulldog guards, and Dyck and Hayden, forward and guard respectively for Wesleyan. all went out on fouls.

At 2:45 last Sunday afternoon, the A Capella Choir met In the chapel to rehearse a few numbers before going to Lorraine to give the evening's program at the Baptist church.

After an hour, the group left In ears for Ellen Steinberg's home. At length the last load arrived at the Steinburg home not quite an hour late. Shortly afterwards Ellen served a delightful lunch to the choir, following which everyone left for the church.

The program was opened by the humming of the choirs theme song, during which Charles Austin made the opening remarks., "O Holy Father' and ''Gloria Patri' both by Palestrina were followed by the ladies' trio In the selection "Faith, Hope and Love”. The choir continued with "Thu Legend" by Tschaikowsky. "Lo How a Rose E'er Blooming" by Practorius. and "Cherubim Song" by Tschaikowsky. The male quartet, with Professor Voran substituting for Wayne Carr, sang "Guide Me. O Thou Great Jehovah". There followed '‘Listen to the Lambs" by Dett and "O Watchers of the Stars" by Noble Cain from the chorus. After a solo from Psalm 91 by Professor Voran, the program concluded with "Lord God of Hosts” by Tschaikowsky and "The Lord Bless You and Keep You” by Latkin.

One by one the cars returned to McPherson, the delay in starting bo-lug Caused by various tires that required attention. The trip was both enjoyable and instructive, and it is to be hoped that the A Capella can find its way in Lorraine now.

KREHBIEL SPEAKS ON

PHASE OF GOVERNMENT

W. J. Krehbiel, editor of the McPherson Daily Republican, spoke In chapel Monday, February 27, on the subject of government. He told of (he functions and purpose of government.

There are really few, things upon which government should legislate. Those Include the pursuit of life, liberty. and furthering the pursuit of happiness. The government had nothing to do with the bringing on of the depression and it can do very little to take It away.

The youth of today will be the leaders In a few years and they must realize the true purposes of government. Happiness is a condition of the mind and the way to achieve It is to have ideals. These are obtained In youth during one's college years.

The regional conference which was held at McPherson College February 19-24 ended with the sessions Friday morning. Most of the delegates departed to their homes Friday afternoon.

The students and faculty have returned to their regular routine and classes are expected to be better prepared this week. In spite of the lack of preparation In the lessons of last week much was gained from the lec-ures given. The students who wished to attend the meetings were excused from class providing the work was made up. In this way a great number of students attended.

Renewed interest and enthusiasm was created during the conference not only for those attending from afar. but for the local people. The delegates returned to their local churches with new Ideas and ideals and aims for McPherson College, which they plan to put Into practice In the coming year.

Next Tuesday the Y. M. C. A. and Y. W. C. A. will hold their annual elections. The slate of the former has not yet been completed, but the Y. W. committee have chosen the following:

FORMER PRESIDENT OF MOUNT MORRIS SPEAKS

The former president of Mount Morris College, the Reverend C. E. Davis, who Is now residing In Independence. Kansas, spoke In chapel Wednesday, February 22.

Ho read as scripture Psalms 18:19 In which David, a free man and recognized by the Israelite people as their king, led them forth Into a large place. We, too. may he led forth into a larger Christian life.

Religion Is oftentimes made a negative thing, but is a place of freedom. A successful business life Is tbo straight and narrow way of life amid toilsome activity, long hours, and much work.

Few people find the narrow path of life. Jesus lived His thirty years In Nazareth, yet He was the freeest man who ever lived. What we are and not what we do determines the greatest part of our life.

To live a larger life, pettiness should be excluded; a Christian life in the sense of its great truths should be lived; and every person should be a vital part of Christ's work.

THE DEBATE TOURNAMENT TO BE HELD AT BETHEL

The conference debate championship, held in tournament form this year, will be decided at Bethel College at Newton Saturday. March 4. The women's tournament, a new feature, is also being held this year.

The C. E. party last Friday livening was a success for the social chairman, Florence Dresher. For about two hours, the group at ten tables worked Jig-saw puzzles and 'kid Jig-saws" belonging to the young Mohlers.

Then the tables were deserted as the students became the audience for he program, announced by Leta Wine. Faithe Ketterman gave two negro-dialect readings." "Little Brown Baby” and "Opportunity”. Clarice Evans, accompanied by Bernice Dresher, played a violin solo. ''Roll On Thou Dark and Deep Blue Ocean' was sung by Blanch Harris, following which Leta Wine played piano solo. Warner Nettleton sang 'One Fleeting Hour”.

Blanch and Ruth Harris next played the important rolls of Dr. Quack and his assistant In “The Wonder Machine" This machine lived up to its name In changing each patient Into whatever type of person he wished to become. Donald and Dorothy Dresher, who were tired if being twins and wanted to he res-pectively a girl and a boy, were hanged into a girl in overalls. Mary Miller, Pearl Walker, who wanted o be about six feet tall and slender, had the desire gratified In the person if Martha Hursh. A negro mammy, Lola Richwine. became a white girl, Lois Lackey. In a lavendar organdy dress. Milton Early, the clown who never had had any sense, twitched nervously around the stage as he ex-plained his ambition to be a college professor with a cane and some hooka. Dusty Rhoades. with cane. books, goggles, and a derby, was the result. Ruth Tice, an old. old maid. had noticed that the tall, dark girls got the men. and she wanted a man. Pauline Stutzman, powdering her nose as she came, emerged. Dr. Quack, by rubbing some medicine on the aides of an umbrella-made lady, succeeded in reducing her size. Then, seeing the results of his marvelous work, he jumped Into the machine and did not come out.

Refreshments consisting of cookies and hot. spiced grape Juice were served, after which the group sang songs. Following the particularly suggestive one of "Good Night, La-dies”, the party broke up.

CHASED BY OFFICER

Once upon a time when knights were bold, the boys of McPherson College endowed with athletic prowess, made a long, long, long Journey Into the enemy territory for the sake of victory, and their alma mater There were also In this wonderful school several students who wished to see our hounds on the hunt. These students turned out to be knights of the road.

The day before the basketeers left, two of the so-called boys of the insti-tute took forth for Ottawa on foot. After many miles of weary travel and hardships such as being so kindly allowed lo ride In Model T's It must be a privilege for only our distinguished favorite son of a well known Ph.D. was granted this favor. It seems that some way or other these students arrived In the city of Emporia much to Emporia's disgust (at least they couldn’t have been very pleased). It so seems that these boys had nothing to do until morning so they proceeded to enjoy the sights of the city. The boys went down to the railroad yards to see if they couldn't help some poor man who didn't have any too much money and incidentally I think that they wanted to ride on a freight train: of course they wouldn't think of doing it for any other reason than to try a new experience as they have always been home loving boys.

The bull In the yards took after them thinking that they were bum us It was dark and all he could see was their forms slipping and sliding along the box cars. I'm not saying this bull was mistaken. I think the same. For your Information the bull had only two legs. (He would he defined by a college professor as a man or high Ideals, bravery, courage, and honesty, imperially detailed to protect the lives and property of our citizens so that right and liberty might reign.) Oh, yes. our beloved students were running, stumbling, etc.. In the general direction most isolated from the vicinity of the bull.

In the process of running or hoarding the train the boy of small stature encountered a cow catcher or some-thing. At least It Is placed at all railroad crossings for the protection of the trains from the ferocity of the fair sex of the bovines. Then also seemed to be some iron cactus which from all reports is somewhat uncomfortable to the anatomy of our friend Lichty. After many hardships these knights of the school of quality reached Ottawa Intact.

The day after Mr. Kurtz's and Mr. Lichty's memorable trip to Otta-wa our brave warriors fared forth to Ottawa. Their departure was too much for a couple of male students and they set forth on a trek to Ottawa. And what a trek it was. They only walked about 35 miles. Just an appetizer. These boys of higher learning and knowledge spent Thursday afternoon in traversing the distance between Herington and Council Grove. It seemed that the old bulldog tenacity bad loft them. There fore they decided to take a train lo Ottawa. But, alas these boys were very Inexperienced In the ways of the world and took the train that went on through to Ossawatomie which to these boys looked as the proper place. They were feeling a little dizzy and very angry.

You ask why they didn't find out about the train? Don't be foolish. It Isn’t correct etiquette to ask questions when on the bum it was five o'clock on a well remembered morning when these two gentlemen of Fahnestock Hall started walking again. We won't discuss the sad things of life. Our friends arrived In Ottawa, the home of the Braves, at ten o’clock that morning.

It seemed as if McPherson College had moved to Ottawa. A great many of the notables of our school could (Continued on Page Two)

TO REDUCE EXPENSES

A plan to Increase the enrollment of McPherson College by one hundred students for next year was In-augurated at the meeting of tho college board of trustees last week.

In the first place the trustees have been organized in their respective districts to encourage new students to attend McPherson College. Quotas of students are assigned to each district based on the present at-tendance from that district. Also tiding in this are the Brethren mini-tiers from each district.

The second phase of the plan provides that the male quartet will tra-vel over this region and give pro-trams. They will be assisted and accompanied by representatives of the college.

As another phase of the plan Leroy Doty, local student secretary, has been selected to work In this field.

Also looking to an Increase In en-rollment Is the new tentative sche-dule for a decrease in fees for tuition and board and room which promise to be attractive to the prospective student.

The annual International Relations Clubs Regional Conference Will be held at William Jewell College, Liberty. Missouri. March 10 and 11. This Is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace which spends twenty thousand dollars a year on International Relations Clubs.

Students from the states of Iowa, Kansas. Minnesota. Missouri. Nebraska. North Dakota, and South Dakota are eligible to attend this conference. It is In charge of Professor W. Holt Smith, faculty advisor of the International Relations Club of William Jewell College. Last year the conference was held at the University of South Dakota. Vermilion. South Dakota.

Two cars of students will go to the conference from McPherson College. Dr. J. D. Bright and Charles Austin will take cars. Five girls are planning on making the trip, Gretta Wilma Griffis. Marcella Ledell, Maxine King, Margaret Oliver, and Marlene Dappen. So far five boys have been chosen, Guy Hayes, Elmer Staats. Delvis Bradshaw. Herbert Eby, and Charles Austin. They will leave Thursday. March 9. In order to be there for the conference on Friday and Saturday.

III the Anti-Tobacco Oratorical Tryout held In the chapel Wednesday afternoon, Ward Williams won first place and Galen Ogden second place.

Mr. Williams will represent McPherson College In the state contest to be held at Bethel College in March. In this contest the prizes are $35, $25, and $15 for first. second, and third places. Last year Mr. Williams won second place In this contest.

There were five in the local tryout. the others being Royal Frantz, Willard Brammel, and Paul Boos. The Judges were Dean F. A. Rep-logle. Miss Della Lehman. Pres. Otho Winger. Dr. J. D. Bright, and Dr. Edward Frantz. .

HAPPINESS—FAITH—HEALTH

Talk happiness—The world is sad enough without your woes. No path is wholly rough. Look for the places that are smooth and clear and speak of those to real the weary ear of earth, so hurt by one continuous strain of human discontent and grief and pain.

Talk faith—The world is better off without your utter Ignorance and morbid doubt. If you have faith In God, or man. or self, any so; If not. push back upon the shelf of silence all your thoughts, 'till faith shall come—no one will grieve because your lips are dumb.

Talk health—The dreary never-changing talk of fatal maladies is worn and stale. You cannot charm, nor interest, nor please by harping on that minor chord, disease. Say you are well, or. all is well with you, and God shall bear your words and make them true.

CHOICE OF OCCUPATION

An analysis of American colleges by Fannie Hurst, the writer, contains considerable food for thought. Miss Hurst believes that our present system is not up to modern workaday needs.

Although there are 20.000 occupations listed in this country, the col lege students range of choice is less than forty. He can be a physician, a lawyer, an engineer, or In the broader sense a business man. Fifty per rent are selecting medicine, law or engineering. All these professions arc already overcrowded and afford little chance for the novice.

What is to be done about this? No university could equip Itself for 20,000 occupations. Perhaps the eventual solution will be for colleges and universities to seek distinctive fields of training, those fields te square as ranch as possible with the needs of their respective areas. Under such a plan no single school would burden itself with courses but schools in the aggregate would offer a wide spread of choice for the student.—Wichita Eagle.

The recent Announcement of a national liquor journal that a publicity campaign In college newspapers was being planned to create a demand among youth for beer is grousing a storm of Indignation over the country.

The international Journal of Religious Education, the official organ of the Sunday Schools of America, comments on it editorially:

"The International Connell of Religious Education, and the Christian forces which cooperate through It are deeply Interested in the highest welfare of the youth of our country. Our best thought and efforts arc devoted to development of Christian character. Representing the church in Christian education, we cooperate with the heme and the school in carrying forward education for the beat type of citizenship. We are anxiously concerned, as parents are, when we discover organised efforts to despoil and corrupt the youth of our land.

"There has come to our attention n statement which recently appeared in "Brewery Industry", published In New York, which is shocking to all who are Interested In youth. This statement begins by declaring that the expected market for beer does not exist today' presumably because the youth of our country for the past thirteen years have grown up under prohibition. So It is proposed that the prospective brewers shall plan to develop a taste for beer, starting In our colleges.

"Are the fathers and mothers of the splendid youth of America going to permit the brewers and liquor dealers to carry out their nefarious plans for corrupting young men and women? A majority of the members of Congress may vote to turn over our youth to the greed and avarice of the liquor Interests, but our faith in the good judgement and high purposes of our citizenry forbids us to believe they will ultimately sanction such a base and shameful retreat."

Spring weather must affect people with spring fever—or brain fever. Such marvelous weather Monday,. and we met six grouchy people! Maxine Ring almost bit Don Evan's head off when he questioned the veracity of her story about why she wasn’t at play practice. And one loving couple was anything but lov ing—that is temporarily. Marlene Dappen decided that her new drees looked like a prison uniform—and was unhappy. She and Ruth Hobart were complaining about getting their debate speeches mixed. Lola Hawkins looked sleepy. Wheeler Kurtz refused to write a feature. Agnes Bean was half an hour late to class. Marianna Thompson had to take a quiz and It was given over last semester's work that she hadn't had.

But It was a nice day.

And someone thought I was praying an I knelt on the floor and wrote these on the radiator Mat.

The other day a Spec reporter asked Lorene Morrison if she and Spilman had spent the week end at their homes In Roxbury. It so happened that It was the one week end that they bad not sojourned Into the northeast, but had spent a pleasant Saturday and Sunday in and around McPherson. Such is the life of a reporter!

Many students are making the popular acclaim for "more, bigger, and better regional conferences”. Reasons are many for such a cry— for Instance, one gets out of several class recitations, one has the opportunity of bearing some good speeches. and oftentimes parents and friends are in evidence during the week.

During some kind of fracas in the library last week. Robert Brooks pushed Ernest Sweetland's chair over. Students in the west reading room had to stop studying and guffaw at the childish pranks of the freshmen. But it did look rather funny to see Ernest sprawled all over the floor.

Because of this incident, Don Evans, evidently jealous of Ernest’s attention, started exercising his nasal organ in that most weird manner. Then he was the center of attraction until his performance grew monotonous. Das ist die Wahrheit, n'est-ce pas?

When students are reminiscing about the conference. If a dorm boarder happens to be In the crowd, he'll start talking about the excellency and delicacy of the food during the week. Then with a note of sadness, he'll add "Yea. but we have to eat the left overs all this week."

All these regional conference quips bring to mind an Incident which occured in the boy's dorm one morning during the week. A certain freshman who frequents this column more than his portion, arising from his night's rest, ran up to a friend’s room while still in his sleeping at tire. Opening the door and bursting

into the room, who should he find occupying It but the brother and sister-in-law of the sold friend. Maybe the Intruder didn't do a vanishing American act?

Dr. Schwalm asked two lassies while they were resting In the shade of the dormitory Tuesday morning If they were sunning themselves.

Now that Harvey Shank had a ton-silectomy performed, the male quartet is singing a duet. Six bloodthirsty creatures watched the gory operation.

Delvis Bradshaw didn't even watch it but be seemed to get scared out anyway and Is still carrying the extra flesh in his throat.

Tonsils and appendices seem to have gone out of style around here. At least everyone is getting rid of them.

Would you say that the surface of the gym floor was slightly glossy last night causing players to hug it closely now and then? We hardly need to ask!

Among the social elite were the hon-be seen on the streets of the city, orable Mr. and Mrs. Alvin Voran. Other notables were Mr. Glenn Webb, son of a well known contractor, Mr. Tuffy Wine of the well known Light Wines and Beers, who are so prominent in American poli-tics at the present time. Oh yes, there were two fair co-eds who seemed to be interested In the basketball team as a team of two men Instead of the required five. They were none other than the Misses Hawkins and Ring.

Ye olde Bulldogs lost their battle, but we have excuses. Mr. Webb and his burden started home that night. This left four boys of very scant financial means in Ottawa. Straws were drawn and the lucky two were privileged to remain and go to Atchi-son. Lichty and Taylor, being the losers, started back to McPherson. It seems as though they arrived home without serious difficulty. The basketball team and the afore-mentioned boys went te St. Benedict's Saturday morning, where a wonderful time waa had by all. The game that night was very Interesting if you didn't mind the score. Everything but victory being acquired the famous Bulldogs departed for home. —An Assistant Coach.

Students Talk on Various Topics in Christian Endeavor

Sunday night’s Christian Endeavor closed the series of discussions on "Living Creatively”.

Royal Frantz discussed "Following the Noblest Personality". Ho said that we must choose whether wo will follow the difficult path that Jesus traveled, or some other path.

"Cooperating Creatively with God." was Martha Andes' subject. Others have cooperated with God-in the past, and we must continue to help wayward souls. If we answer the challenge.

Lilburn Gottmann gave a talk showing some of the risks that have been and are encountered, and showed some of the penalties that people who tried to live creatively have endured. Gottmann says that we will all have to run risks and then we must accept penalties if we are to step out ahead of the crowd.

The last topic, "Making Wise Use of Time," was discussed by Mary Miller. Who stated that we should all check up oar daily actions and see if every twenty-four hours is spent wisely, and If not. why not.

Kirby Page's book. "Living Creatively”, was need as a basis of these programs. Lester Pote was chairman of Sunday night's program.

Friday night. March 3, will be the closing basketball game of the sea-son. The Swedes of Bethany College will be In McPherson to furnish the opposition for the Bulldogs.

Dope in Swede-Bulldogs of the past las meant very little and this year it is hoped that It will be upset What dope there Is probably gives the Swedes an advantage. Bethany won over the Bulldogs by a seven point margin earlier In the season at Lindsborg. Also Bethany has won over McPherson for several years In the past.

Since the early season game the McPherson squad has played some good basketball and some poor bas ketball. If the Bulldogs are able to play their best basketball a victory can be expected. One thing that is assured is that It will be a real bat-tle when the Bulldogs and the Swedes clash.

Captain Rock is the only senior member of the Bulldog squad and will he playing In his last college game, Conch Binford and his Bulldog basketeers are all set for the Swedes and expectt to upset all dope.

LAST GAME OF SEASON

ST. BENEDICTS BEATS BULLDOGS BY 44-19

The third defeat in as many nights was given to the Bulldogs at Atchi-son Saturday. February 25. by St. Benedict's College. The Ravens gave the McPherson quintet a sound drub-bing. the final score being 14-19.

St. Benedict's look an early lead and Increased it as the game progressed. The Bulldogs never threatened the Raven lead after a few minutes of the game had passed. After about five minutes of play with the score 9-6 In favor of St. Benedict's the Karens scored almost at will and from every position. The score at the halt was 18-7.

The Ravens scored two baskets In quick succession at the start of the second half to make the score 22-7. The Bulldogs, tired from two hard games on succeeding nights, did not give the Havens much opposition and frequent substitutions failed to help. Pauls seemed to be the only McPher-son man that was not tired out and gave the Havens some little worry.

Merwick, St. Benedict's forward and captain, led the scoring with fifteen points. Pauls played a good game both offensively and defensively for McPherson.

JOHANSEN'S TEAM LEADS "B" INTRA- MURAL CONFERENCE

Last week's games In this league went true to form without changing the team standings. On Friday at 1:30 Johansen's team overcome a hard fighting Sweetland team by a 20-10 score. The score at half time was 6-2 In favor of the victors.

At 4:30 Friday Brammell's team managed in beat Heckman's team In a very close game which threatened seriously to upset the dope. The final score was 23-26 for Brammell. At half time the score was 16-10 In favor or Brammell's men but shortly after the second half started their lead was cut to a count of 18-16.

Yesterday at 4:00 Brammell's team won another victory over Sweetland to boost their team standing again. Johannes's team still held to first place by remaining Idle but tomorrow they will probably meet Heckman’s team. The score of yesterday's game was 20-9 for Bram-mell's men. At half time the score was 7-5 for Brammell who was able to pull away In the second half.

Whitcher, 45; E. Sweetland. 38; Brammell, 34; Williams. 31: Booz. 29: Pote. 29; Suttle. 23; Heckman. 19; Webb. 15: Johansen. 10.

Last week Austin downed Kraus in a very close and exciting game 26-23. At half time the score was 15-9 In favor of Kraus's team but Austin's team got to hitting In the second half and were too much for their opponents who kept up a hard battle.

Yesterday Kraus's team won a 33-19 victory' over Harnly's team in a much closer game than the score Indicates. At half time the score was 24-9 for Kraus but soon after that It was cut to but a three-point lead. Then Kraus got to hitting again and he margin was widened.

A correct team standing and list of high scorers In this league will ap-pear next

BULLDOGS DEFEATED BY BAKER WILDCATS 37-33

On Thursday night, February 23. i the Bulldogs lost their first game of the eastern trip to the Baker University Wildcats by a score of 37-33. It was a close battle all the way with neither team having much advantage. The Bulldogs had defeated the Wildcats earlier In the season at McPherson by a score of 24-19 In another closely played game.

Baker took a lead of a few points at the start of the game after working through the Bulldog defense. Mc- Pherson soon registered in the scor- ing column and pulled up with the Wildcats. Again Baker scored and then the Bulldogs rallied and scored baskets in quick succession to take a nice lead. At this point It looked as though the Bulldogs let down a lit-tle, and Baker was given a chance to catch up gradually. McPherson was still bolding to a scant lead of one, point with the scorn 14-13 at the half.

The second half was a close battle all the way with both teams playing some good basketball. Several times the Bulldog scoring machine func-

tioned well and the McPherson team would take a lead of a few points, but a bad play or two would cost the McPherson five their lead. Several times during the last half It looked as though the Bulldogs "had the game, but Baker pulled some nice plays and good shooting to keep the game close.

With less than a minute to play McPherson was leading by one point and Spear, Baker forward shot from almost mid-court and made his shot putting the Wildcats one point ahead. Spear followed with a free throw and then Just as the gun sounded Finley scored a field goal to account for the 4 point margin.

Finley, Baker center, led the scoring and played a nice game -In general. Several played well for McPherson with many figuring in the scoring. Pauls found his one handed shots working in this game.

Many shots that were close In went wild while others were close, but rolled off the rim. None of the McPherson men were able to hit consistently.

Dillon of Ottawa was high point man or the game with thirteen points to his credit. Pauls and H. Johnston played well for McPherson.

Wesleyan was given something to think about in their final game last night, hut they are conference champions. It was a rough game and the Bulldogs really played some classy ball. The passing was much Improved. but McPherson's shooting was poor.

The big game Is yet to come. The Bulldogs can beat the Swedes and they are determined to do that Friday night on the Convention Hall floor. We know that dope Is with the Swedes, but dope cannot beat us.

Friday. February 24. the Bulldogs lost their second game of their trip In a hard fought game with the Braves of Ottawa University. The final score was 38-26.

The Braves scored first and led by a few points during most of the first half. After Ottawa scored the Bulldogs made a point from the field. The first half was a real battle with neither team able to penetrate the defense of the other with consistency. McPherson rallied a little before the half ended and at the Intermission the Bulldogs were leading 14-13.

At the start of the second half McPherson scored first with a goal from the field to make the score 16-13. Ottawa soon scored a field basket and then another and from then on the Bulldogs were never In the lead. The first ten minutes of the second half still found the Bulldogs fairly close, but not seriously threatening the Braves.

About the middle of the last half Ottawa began to pull farther away from the Bulldogs and build up their lead farther until the end of the game. McPherson missed many open shots, especially during the last half.
