Dr. Smith Returns
From New Orleans
Atteends Meeting of the Deans of Women's Brunch of N. E. A.
Dr. Josephine Smith returned from New Orleans. Louisiana, last week where she attended a meeting of the Deans of Women Branch of the National Education. The central theme of the meeting was "Personal Guidance." This was brought out by Dr. E. A. Kilpatrick, from Columbia University, when he said that In making personality adjustments we wo should try to adjust the student to the school and help the student learn in "moment by moment learning." He further stated that moment by moment learning is more significant than class learning and can make class learning more vital by rotating it to moment by moment learning.
S. C. M. Give Conference Tea
To the soft strains of an instrumental trio conference visitors and students sipped ten anf ate tempting wafers In the luxurious comfort of the darkened student union room.
Miss Della Lehman as a charming reception committee of one, wel-comed the guests at the door and directed them to the table where Mrs. Boitnott graciously served the tea.
A speech of welcome was given by Wanda Hoover, and Miss Lehman gave a reading. The S. C. M. cabinet members acted as hosts and hostesses, mixing among the guests.
This was a most delightful gathering which gave those attending the conference a chance to get better acquainted with the students.
Hurray!

Rev. Rufus Bowman Talks To Students
“A Concept of a Gentleman" Is Subject of Address
Rev. Rufus D. Bowman, outstanding guest speaker of the Regional Conference, addressed the student body on the subject "Who Is a Gentleman?" In chapel last Thursday.
“The concept of a gentleman has had a checkered history and a varied meaning,'* said Rev. Bowman. We used to class the word scholar with the word gentleman but we've dropped the word scholar. Today the latter term goes hand In hand with a nervous breakdown. Frederick the Great's Idea of a gen Roman was a . big soldier, at least six and a half feet tall. The modern idea Is that a gentleman is one who owns a yacht and can take vacations.
*‘A good definition of a gentleman is this one taken from the preface to one of George Bernard Shaw’s plays "A Gentleman is one who puts back Into life a little more than he takes out." This conception, crossing with the present concepts, leaves room for worthy acquisition. We need clear heads as well as con-secratod hearts.
"While this definition begins with a worthy acquisition, it does not end there. There are those who might well be called "land skinners." If the moral and spiritual realm—those who drink in lifes values and do not feel the responsibility for putting anything back. Motive power is faith In God. assurance that we help to carry out eternal purpose of God. Our goal Is to stick It out-to put back into life more than we take out.
"Round and round she goes, and where she stops nobody knows!" But when the music stops, the lucky couple will get a big piece of cake. So—"Step right this way, folks, and get your tickets. Join In this merry circle and win a hunk of cake (the coffee Is free)!"
— Don’t hesitate, boys. Grab a girl and bring her over to the gym Friday night to the "Cake Walk." Or, come yourself and choose your partner after you get there. Well- -just come anyway you please. And If you and "Susy" are lucky you can have your choice of cake—black, white or indifferent.
As for you girls. If your best beaux won’t ask you. drag him over anyhow. And you unattached females, remember that this is somewhat like a dance, and the party will be dull without stags. Just put on your winsome smiles, your come-hither eyes, and flirtatious manner, and her's a quarter—I'll bet you won't ‘'sit out" very many walks.
Those who have attended cake-walks will not want to miss this one. and those who have not, don’t know what they have missed. But one thing Is very certain, you will all miss a heap of fun If you don’t come to this one. Here's what you’ll miss: the thrill of walking In circles under soft lights with your "honey bunny boo." The lucky couple will get a ticket which en-titles you each to a piece of delicious cake that will simply melt In your mouth. (Cake that has traveled many miles.) If you don't win, go get another partner (or you can keep the same one) and walk again. I might suggest that you wear com-fortable shoes. '
Perhaps you will get fatigued and wish to stop walking a few rounds. For you there will be side-line entertainments, such as dropping beans In a Jar. If you are good enough, you might win a free ticket for a walk. Oh, I forgot, you're tired!
Como on, gang, ther's cake for everyone!
Prof. John Dewey, also of Columbia, was another outstanding speaker. One of the most interesting speakers was Dorothy Dix. who spoke on "Youth Adjustment,"
An interesting feature of Dr. Smith’s trip was a tour through Vieux Carre, the old French quarter of New Orleans. Guides were girl students from the Normal Training School, at New Orleans. These girls take courses at the school In "Knowing Your City.” Places of historical interest were pointed out on the tour and something of their history related. Dr. Smith stayed In the dormitory at Sophia Newcomb College, the Women’s College of Tu-lane University.
Harold Beam
State Honored Farmer
Those who are Inclined to look with disfavor upon the farm and the vocation of farming as a life work should visit the home of Harold Beam and family at McPherson. Kansas.
It is a pleasure and Inspiration for anyone to visit the Beam home for the entire place seems to radiate with an unhurried orderliness.
Outstanding Books to Library
During the past wek the library has received several outstanding books. The books are: *Interna-
tional Understanding Through the Public School" and "The Teaching of Reading: a Second Report”, by The International Understanding through the Public School Curriculum; "Infant Nutrition" Marriott. "The Oxford Book of Modern Verse”
W. B. Yeats "The Administration
of American Education." F. P. Gravers: "Common Legal Principles," F. W. Marshall: "Man, the Un
known.” Alexis Carrol. There have also been two general shop books added.
The author W, B. Yeates's one of our outstanding modern writers. He gives you both the modern trend of writing along with the more an-cient.
The crop production, the care of the livestock, the upkeep of the buildings and the general farm records alike, show the results of careful planning and good organization.
The years in college and the two years of touching which followed, gave Mr. Bonin experiences in activi-ties which are very valuable to the community, in his farm bureau work, and farmers union, and to the church in various capacities.
Mr. Beam was winner of the "State Pasture Contest” sponsored by the "Kansas Farmer" In 1936. He has dismount ruled for years his interest in the farm bureau and the farmers union.
Hustle! Bustle! Hurry!—Students Live
Life of Ease During District Conference
Dr. Glenn J. Witherspoon
Addresses Chape! Assembly
Dr. Glenn J. Witherspoon, pastor of the First Congregational church addressed the students, Tuesday morning on the subject of a "Game of Golf."
It is Just as ridiculous to see young people go out Into life with out objectives as it is to see a man trying to play golf without a ball.” Just as the ball can go only where you hit It, your life can go only in the direction In which you aim It. You will go exactly where your interest in life leads you."
"It isn’t the person who has sixteen clubs, or sixteen talents, who makes a success of a golf game or of life; It is the person who uses efficiently one or two."
"Success comes only to those who play the game of life fairly and squarely."

Hustle! bustle! hurry! scurry! Wo can scarcely think of enough adjectives to describe the commotion on our campus during confer-ence week. But with it all we noticed that the rosiness was coming back into the cheeks of the dormitory students who eat in the dining hall. Chocolate cookies! steaks! salads! pie and fancy deserts we are now back to spaghetti and meat balls.
The conference this year was the largest ever held in McPherson. Ten states were represented with Kansas having the most registered visitors, a total of sixty-four. All together there were 125 visitors,who registered and many attended the conference who did not register.
Although for some It was painfully, hard traveling they made It to the conference and got rewarded for their efforts . A mixed, group, from Nebraska seemingly had the worst -trouble. They started from Ne-braska Saturday morning and before long ran into the snowstorm that hit Nebraska and Kansas. They got stuck in an inumerable number of snowdrifts and the men in the group were caked with ice and snow from having to spend the greater share of two days standing, pushing or shoveling the blinding snowstorm. Very few miles had been covered by Saturday night and they were forced to stay in a small town 100 miles away all night. They started out early the next morning and battled the ice and snow all day 'till they reached McPherson at 7:30 Sunday evening.
One mother had a box of food that she was bringing for her son here at college, but the group Was forced to eat the food while they were stuck In a snowdrift for four hours. miles from any town.
Not all visitors had as rough, a
time as the Nebraska folk; No matter what the hardships were the Conference was ruled worthy of any sacrifice. Iowa and the next greatest number of registered visitors with thirty-three visiting the campus. Colorado was represented with nine visitors. Nebraska, Missouri and Oklahoma were closely represented
With Missouri having seven. Nebraska five and Oklahoma also five. Idaho, Louisiana and Illinois Were each represented with one visitor.
The conference proved to be a help to the student body also. Many couples took the opportunity for a lapse in cheeking chapel attendance, sitting together where they pleased, with a number and not not only couples failing to appear at all. We wonder just how many students told their professors. "Well, professor, I spent the evening listening to let-tures and most of the night studying my notes and I just couldn't get time to do my assignment, and didn't you think the lectures fine?"
But no matter how much Interruption resulted to campus routine the benefits of the conference overbalanced the detriments. As a matter of fact all who attended the Regional Conference this year seemed of the opinion that It was a week well spent.
Shakespearean Play, “Taming of the Shrew” To Be Given By Senior Class
Production March 23
Realistic Shakespearean Costumes to Add To Scenes
The Senior class of McPherson College Is doing something this year that has not been done here before.
It is giving a Shakespearean play. The Taming of the Shrew.”
The Shrew. Katharina. the eldest daughter of Baptista. a rich gentleman of Padua has an ungovernable spirit and fiery temper. It seems unlikely that anyone would ever venture to marry her. Her father therefore Is much blamed for deferring his consent to many excellent offers made to Bianca, Katherine's gentle sister. His excuse is that when the oldest sister is off his hands then he can see to getting Bianca married.
It happens that a gentleman, Pet-ruchia, came to Padua purposely to find a wife and hearing of the rich man's daughter determines to tame her Into a meek and manageable wife. So a courting thou Petruchia goes. He first goes to Baptista asking his consent to woo his daughter Katharina. Baptista wishes her married but forced to confess her ill character. Petruchia. still undaunted. mapped out a mode of courtship and when Jatharina rails him he tells her she speaks as sweetly, as a nightingale; when she frowns at him he says she looks like a rose newly washed with dew.
A strange courtship It is. Petruch-io tells Baptista, without Kathar-ina’s consent, that they will be married the next Sunday. Sunday comes; they are married In disorderly attire and leave before the wedding feast. They Journey to Petrouchio's home and the days following are real days in the taming of the Shrew.
At length, after the Shrew has chanced a great deal. Petruchio and his wife return to Padua. They find a company assembled at the home of Baptista for the wedding of Blanca. After the wedding feast Pet-ruchio proves that his wife is the most obedient of all. When the men send a servant to bring their wives none come Immediately but Kathar-ina. When they all arrive Katharine Is hidden by Pelruchio to tell the women what duty they owe their lords and husbands. From then on Katharina is no longer known throughout Padua as the Shrew but as the most obedient and duteous wife In all the city.
The characters as cast are Katharina Wanda Hoover the Shrew, and daughter of Baptista.

Ever since the successful culmin-atlon of the sit-down strike In Detroit there has been an Increasing amount of labor unrest. Sit-down strikes are the vogue; labor unions seem to think that they are not on their toes if all of Its members are standing at their Jobs. If for no other reason than to assert their authority, unions are railing sit-down strikes. Whether this recent wave of strikes is due to the discovery and use of this new technique or to labor difficulties remains to be seen.
Strikes and lookouts are not new: we have had them In some form of other since the industrial revolution. Since the inception of our modern capitalistic society the worker and employer have been trying to better their respective positions. In order to do this both groups have many times resorted to methods that obviously do not Justify the ends sought. Is It necessary that under a capitalistic system there must be friction and strife between employee and employer?
In this field, as In many others, cooperatives have made notable contributions. In England there are over 275,000 employees on the payrolls of cooperatives. Of these 90 percent belong to labor unions. All the employees of the Indiana Farm Bureau Cooperative Association are union, members. This In Itself does not necessarily give the cooperatives a superior rating In their dealings with labor. It does show, however, that cooperatives realize that there must be some avenue of approach whereby both parties can come to a common understanding.
In the Maynard. Massachusetts. Cooperative Grocery Society there are 35 employees. Ordinarily salar-

In 1906 the Cooperative Wholesale Society of Great Britain set the minimum wage of women five shillings above the wage which the government get as the minimum by law In 1909. In the same country the testimony of trade union leaders shows that "tho cooperative employee Is better paid, more humanly" treated, has greater security and more continuous employment than any other class of workers."
These are but a few examples to bring out the reason for the comparative success of the cooperatives to cope with the labor problem.
An employee of a cooperative Is generally a member of the organiza-tion for which he is working. That being the case, he is logically Interested In Its welfare and will therefore not go on a strike. He realizes that he is not being exploited by some entrepreneur for at the end of the year the net profit will he divided among the members of the concern. Under capitalism, on the other hand, there are two definite groups, the employer and the employee. This fosters class consciousness. especially In the large concerns where the managing and producing parts of a plant are divorced. In a cooperative endeavor this group distinction Is not nearly so sharp and therefore friction is greatly mitigated. Instead of two definite groups the employee and employer are both affiliated as consumers in the cooperative ties tho employer and his employee with the bonds of mutual-ity for both are members of the organization and both are consumers. Thus In the truest sense cooperatives are bored upon cooperation.

chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court, comes the quotation of the week, (not made this week): The best way to deal with criticism of the court is to attend to our work and do it as well as we know how." There’s a rule worthy of wide application. In spite of its obvious conservatism.

We are glad to welcome Toshiro Into the ranks of the columnizers, though he may show the rest of us by writing something worthwhile. Like Odd McIntire, the rest of us just write. A lot of the stuff we spill is so old it reminds me of a clock my grand-paw has got, back in Punkin Center. We never paid any attention to it when the dust storms come along, because it was all enclosed, but one day It stopped and the repair man found the works all full of panhandle dust. You know that clock had set there and run so long the shadow of the pendulum had worn a hole clear through the back of the case.

That was a good editorial about cooperatives, but Bill. Bill, how could you say: "Obviously there is no point in saving a man’s soul when he is daily subjected to conditions that are conducive to temptation?" What can you save him from. If not from temptation? If alive, a man will he tempted; if not. he's likely past saving. Something of the individual must be worth salvaging, even in the worst existence. Pity poor us, if our only hope of salvation must await a perfect rebuilding of this slow moving old world of ours! Again. in the words of the Master.

How do I Introduce my wife to other men?
Gourdie Green.
A husband introduces his wife as "my wife' to friends and acquaintances. To Intimates and relatives, bo uses her first name alone. "Mary, this Is Jack." To servants or to casual business acquaintances he uses both her title and last name. Inserting the relationship before it, "Mr. Fluke, may I Introduce my wife Mrs. Green?" The same rules apply when a wife introduces her husband.
Question:. When a woman and a man meet who should give the first sign of recognition?
Answer: “By convention, the woman speaks first. This is intended as a protection, so that she may not have to pursue an acquaintance which is unwelcome to her. Often, of course, a man may know a woman so well that ho need not wait for her to recognize him but may speak to her as soon as he sees her.”

Go ye therefore and teach em-phasized Bishop Wise last Thursday evening. In defining teaching be brought but truth, as the great principle of life. He declared "if we have to be lovers of truth, and in order to obtain this quality we must rid ourselves of prejudices." The next desirable attribute is enthusi-asm. People who have lost their enthusiasm are dead and don't know it.
In our aspirations we are able to dream dreams and see visions ahead. In discussion charity he brought out that love is the greatest thing In the world. "The attitude of love will determine the direction of a man’s life." No teacher is successful without home and home’s ideals, "Our example in life, the life that we live every day, is a real test of one’s influence." He admonished. “Let your light so shine before men that they may see the good works of our Father In Heaven." In religion we have the summing up of all phases of life and the tying of these qualities together." He concluded with the challenge. "The roadway of spiritual adventure is as open as that of Industrial adventure. Let's seek the spiritual road."

The Fiftieth Anniversary Campaign is running a temperature this week. Miss Martha L. Klein. Conrad Iowa, a visitor at the Regional Conference, raised it a thousand degrees (dollars) last week.
The Doctor asserts, contrary to general belief, that this high tem-perature (about 16000 degrees) Is beneficial to the patient. In fact be further assures us that there will be no marked Improvement until the temperature is raiced about 84,000 ..degrees more. In other words, not until the thermometer registers 100,000 degrees.
Mr. Clifford Pierce, vice-president of Pierce and Hedrick, New York, arrived Monday to launch the Fiftieth Aniversary Campaign in McPherson territory. Mr. Pierce is not unfamil-iliar with Kansas. He was formerly secretary of the Y. M. C. A. of this state. He will remain in McPherson for the next eight weeks to direct the campaign.

Talks on the "World Student Christian Federation" and "Building a World Community" were given in C. E. Sunday night by Wanda Hoover and Paul Miller respectively. A special musical number on the pro-gram was a violin and piano sonata played by Prof. Fisher and Prof. Crawford.
"More than thirty nations are represented in the World Student Christian Federation,” stated Miss Hoover. The task of this organization is to reinterpret the real meaning of Christianity. This group feels that they must have a faith to live by, then they must be aware of points of tension and attempt to solve problems, and finally each individual organization on each campus has a missionary responsibility to carry out.
If we have really felt the influence of Christ, we'll want to give Him to others," stated Miss Hoover, and this is the task of each member of this organization.
A community is the binding together a strong fellowship for the good of al," began Miller. In order to attain this, we must get rid of class conflicts and race conflicts. Kagawa, the outstanding Japanese Christian, suggests cooperatives—a plan which might solve some of our difficulties.

CULTURE OF JAPAN
By
Contemporary Japanese Literature
The English playwright. Israel Zangwill, has likened America to a melting pot—the melting pot into which all races of the world have been thrown and out of which a new race is coming. This may be applied to the contemporary literature of Japan. The world of letters of Japan today Is the literary melting pot that has absorbed all literatures of the world and has produced and will produce a new literature out of Its chaos.
To observe the post and present of the study of Western literature In Japan, at least two angles must so kept In mind. One Is the angle of academic study. and the other, that of the study by literary men.
Taking up academic study first.
we find that all Western literature has been studied from the stand-points of literature aesthetics, philil-ogy. etc., at the Institutions. Though English. German and French literature has been the subject of the study. Russian. Italian. American and other literature has been studied. particularly since the end of the 19th century. Also the literature of ancient Greece and Home, and of the age between the end of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century, has been dealt with In the same way.
Study by literary men. however, has been much different from that. It has not been the study, but more properly rending for Interest; literary men of different ages have selected the subjects of study according to their own literary needs, and therefore, their study has not covered so wide a range as hits the academic study. It has been the rule that if the literary needs of writers of a certain period were directed for social, literary and other reasons toward Romanticism, they studied the Romantic Movement of Western countries; and If directed toward Realism, the realistic movement was studied. For Instance, the Naturalistic trend, which was strong after the Russo-Japanese war, later became Into the modern bourgeois literature of Japan; and throughout the period of development of the Naturalistic trend. the Realistic and Naturalistic work of Europe between the middle and latter parts of the 19th Century were, studied and translated in Japan.
Particularly .Turgenev, Tolstoy., Chekhov of Russia. and Flaubert. Maupassant, the Goncourt brothers and Daudet of France were inwardly digested. The literature of Northern Europe has spread to us through Ibsen and Strindberg.
The literature of Germany and Austria, too. has become thoroughly familiar to us. from the classic Goethe down to recent men like Hauptmann and Thomas Maun.
Oscar Wilde. G. Meredith. J. Galsworthy, Bernard Shaw, and others have enjoyed a fair popularity. Today James Joyce Is the literary fashion.
Edgar Allan Poe. T. Dreiser. U. Sinclair, and S. Lewis are a few of the American authors that have been more than mere names to us.
Maupassant has not been so popular as Tolstoy: and a clever pun is Invented: “Mnupassant. Mo Takus-on." means. "No more of Maupassant. or enough of Maupassant." More recently, Andre Gide seems to be enjoyed.
Consequently what we have today is a mixture of Western elements and our own. But the melting pot was not empty to start with.
The tradition of Japanese literature, we must remember, has been modified by the influence of India through the channel of Buddhism and the influence of China. We believe, therefore, that our contemporary literature Is more universal and colorful In its background than the literature of any other nation. (Continued next week)

Most Popular Man to be Chosen by Spectator-Quadrangle Poll
Since we have had a contest for the selection of a queen it is no more than proper that we should give the men on the campus a little honor. This is being attained through a Popularity contest, sponsored by the Quadrangle, with the help of the Spectator.
Below you will find a nomination ballot. The three boys receiving the most nominations will go into the run-off contest. The run-off ballot will appear in the next Issue of the Spectator. By having these ballots appear In the Spectator, nobody can complain that the student body did not have anything to say about the nominations, because each student has the privilege of making a nomination.
In order to keep the ballot-box from being stuffed, the nominator’s name mast appear on the ballot. No nomination will be valid unless the, name of the person making the nom-ination signs his name to the ballot. Cast your nomination for the most popular boy, and put the ballot in the ‘'Quad* box on the bulletin board.

C. of E. Defeats McPherson College 51 to 22 In Final Kansas Conference Game—McPherson Seconds Win 21-21.
Emporia, Kan., March 3—McPher-son college lost to the College of Emporia tonight 22 to 51 In a Kansas conference game, the last game of the season for the visiting Bulldogs. C. of. E. took an early lead and held it throughout the game.
The hot shot shooting of Rock, forward, led the way to victory for C. of E. Rock scored 10 fields goals and three free throws for a total of 23 points for his team. Coach "Bud" Selves sent In several McPherson players with specific Instructions to "stop Rock" but Rock was not to be stopped because he continued scoring to run up the lead for his team.
Emporia held fears for McPherson’s Chet Johnston, keeping him guarded all the time but despite the heavy covering Johnston scored 12 points. Six of his points were made on free throws, indicating the tightness of the defense that had been clamped down upon him. Johnston was the second high scorer of the game to Rock of C. of E.
Emporia bold n 23 to 9 advantage at half time. During the middle of the second half three McPherson players were sent from the floor because of four personal fouls each. The loss or these players was a great handicap for the Bulldogs and as a result the Presides shot ahead in the scoring with Rock loading the way.
Baker university must win over Ottawa university tonight to escape sharing the conference title with C. of E.
The box score:
"Yoo hoo, Chester.” "Hey Barney," "Here we are over here." But try as we might, wo couldn’t make those Bulldogs look our way. Wo were way back on the back row, and finally wo decided that it would never do for us to sit up there where no one could see or hear us. And besides, we were afraid we would fall off those crazy bleachers. So we proceeded to move down to the front row. There were only four of us besides Mrs. "Bud" and a couple of her friends, but wo made ourselves known—to the Bulldogs, finally, and to everyone else,
Well, our team didn’t start out so good, but when they did make some goals, (I hate to brag) we really showed up that Emporia bunch. We yelled, whooped and hollered. and those Teachers looked at us as if we had had a little to much. If I remember correctly, and I think I do, they gave five yells during the whole game, and the only other time they did anything but clap their hands was when their star player went out on fouls. Our hero! In other words, they lack that old school pep that McPherson College has.
So you think our yelling was lost breath because wo lost the game? Well, perhaps we did make ourselves conspicuous, but Coach and the boys appreciated it. Got this—we made so much noise that "Bud" thought there was a whole gang of us.
And say. it certainly turned cold while we were at the game. Dan's car was almost as cold as an electrolux. So to keep from thinking about our cold feet and to keep awake we sang all the way from Florence. Oh! what harmony!
Canines Defeat
Bethany Swedes
A fast moving McPherson College basketball team, led by Chet Johnston, forward, mowed down the Bethany College Swedes of Linds-borg 37 to 28 Friday night in a Kansas Conference game at Convention Hall. Only the first three-quarters of the first half was close and from then on out McPherson held a 5 to 10 point lead all the time. Chet Johnston was the high scor-er of the game with 14 points to his credit. He did most of his scoring the first half and was the one who broke up the game as a close affair and gave McPherson the lead late in the period. In the last half Harold Johnston, Robertson and McGill started scoring to widen the margin for the Bulldogs.
The Bethany Swedes showed their power in the first half, but at no time did they threaten McPherson's lead. Bethany's greatest show of strength was late in the game when the Swedes dropped in four field goals during the last seven minutes of the game. Boeve and Carroll led Bethany's scoring with eight points each.
The Swedes were weakened somewhat late in the last half when Malmgren and Carroll, both regulars, went out of the game on personal fouls. Despite the loss of these two regulars Coach Elmer Schaake's team kept scoring but its defense was somewhat weaker.
At the start of the game Bethany scored first on a field goal but free throws by C. Johnston and Robert son and a field goal by Barngrover gave McPherson a 4 to 2 advantage. Bethany crept up to a 9 to 8 lead and at one time held an 11 to 8 lead before McPherson started hitting again. The "hit” was only a free throw and the Swedes drove ahead to 16 to 8. the last score for the Bethany visitors in the first half. McPherson then started raining in baskets to pull into a 19 to 15 lead at half-time.
McPherson at the outset of the second period, widened its margin to 25 to 16 before the Swedes scored again. From this point on through the remainder of the game McPherson was never again threatened.
The box score:
The only intra-mural basketball that was played this week was between Bredfeldt's team and Miller's. Miller's team proved too much for Bredfeidt’s and won 21-35.
