Henry Speaks For I. R. C. By Thomas Doeppner Ill-employed young men that our de-cadent profiteering system let loose in the world. During the last week, the Soviet press showed a friendly altitude toward England by showing the influence which the British trade unions and the working class are having in the defense of Britain. Although this does not necessarily mean that the long expected change of Russia has arrived, it is at least a statement that Russia is not in favor with the present politics of Germany and Japan. One might consider it as a thread to the axis or better triangle powers, for the Russian secretary of war de- Idared, “Russia does not consider itself free from any provacations that may threaten its borders. It is not difficult to guess what provocation he is referring to.

The World At Large By Belly Jean Sellers The meeting between Hitler and Mussolini at Brenner Pass on the Italian-German border seems to have caused a good deal of speculation and questioning. One guess is that they discussed plans for a speedy invasion both of Britain and of widespread portions of her empire. An-other guess is that they talked about forming a real peace with France instead of the present armistice, because a real peace would make the fight against the British Isles easier. H. G. Wells, the noted historian and novelist from London, said that it was consoling to falll back onto the thought that after all it may be as foolish to overrate as to underrate an enemy. He points out that they weren’t fighting war gods ; they were fighting Hermann Goering and Adolf Hitler. He also points out that it is merely a pure illusion to believe that if Goebbels, Goering, and Hitler, were disposed that peace with Germany would be possible. It would seem that the essence of the situation lies in the fact that Hitler has been able to other. That is, the rich against the Kampus Kapers— By Isabel Crumpacker CBS Presents Seminar Course About Classics “Invitation To Learning’” Is Title Of Weekly Broadcasts Approximately 110,000,000 Amer-icans are eligible to take a new seminar course, given by three of the country's leading men of letters. The course cuts through the custom-ary divisions of college curriculs to reach many important works of the world's literature. The course, for which there is neither tuition fee nor entrance examination, is open to anyone having access to a radio. Mall reaching the Columbia Broadcasting System, which sponsors the course given by radio, indicates that it should prove particularly interesting to college students and professors. Allen Tate, Princeton professor and former Rhodes scholar, whose poetry and biographical works have aided the current Southern literary renascence, is one of the teachers of the course. Another is Mark Van Doren, poet, critic, and editor of a number of anthologies. The third member of the group is Huntington Cairns, Baltimore attorney an book-lover, Cairns, 36, is counsel to the Treasury Department, and book censor of the United States. As Treasury Counsel, he passes on the importation of books to which objections have been raised. The teachers do not lecture. They sit around a table at CBS headquarters in New York, discussing, each Sunday afternoon at 4:30 p. m., EST. (3:30 p. m. CST) one of their books on their list of the world’s greatest. The series began on October 6, with Aristotle's “Politics." The sessions are similar to college seminars, except that listeners cannot ask their teachers questions. The course of discussions, titled “Invitation to Learning," touches varied subjects not ordinarily included in a single course, Ethics, autobiography, fiction, drama, criticism, science, and history are some of the topics which will be covered. Many of the classics to be discussed were written originally in Greek, Latin, French, Italian, and German, as well as English. The broadcasts, in their final form, result from experimentation by Columbia to find the men best suited to form the panel of teachers. An experimental series of broadcasts was produced this summer, on which different men appeared, sometimes more than three on a broadcast. The men finally chosen to appear on the aeries, which will continue through the end of March, seemed to Columbia's experts to complement each other’s thinking to make the best discussions. The experimental broadcasts also proved that the classics are interesting to a large portion of the American public. Mall from people of all types indicated that America wants to learn and thinks it can learn best from the greatest books. Mark Van Dorren has written a guide far listeners which can be obtained by writing to the Columbia Broadcasting System in New York. It lists the works to be discussed. Canines Score Stellar Upset To Take Lead Ottawa Receives First Conference Defeat Since "37 The McPherson Bulldogs opened their conference season with a stellar upset victory over the three-time champs of the conference, Ottawa University, 6-0. It was the first conference defeat since 1987 for the Otta-wa Braves. The win placed the Bulldogs among the conference leaders and as probable title-holders by the end of the season. The same ended with McPherson in possession of the bail on the 1-yard stripe and with 2 downs to play. Although they scored only one touchdown during the game, they |
should have scored additional points as they continued to threaten during the entire game. McPherson received the hall on the opening kickoff and marched to the ten yard line before losing the half on a tumble. The Bulldogs were within reaching dis-tance of the goal at several other times during the first half, and once attempted a field goal. The touchdown drive was begun when Vetter completed a pass to Keck which was good for 24 yards and placed the Bulldogs on the Braves 13-yard line. After several plays Vetter passed to Callen in the end zone to score the touchdown. The try for the extra point failed as the ball hit the crossbar. The spark plug in the Bulldogs offensive for the entire game was Jack Vetter, junior letterman from Kansas City. Vetter, big 200 lb. back-field veteran, reeled off yard after yard through the Ottawa defense, Vetter definitely established himself as a candidate for an all-conference berth. It was Vetter who made two beautiful interceptions and run-backs to nip any scoring ambitions that the chiefs from Ottawa might have had. McPherson suffered even in victory, for Irwin Keck, a halfback who played a brilliant, game on offense. In addition to the many trickles, suffered a fractured left arm as he tackled a Brave along the sidelines. Junior French, freshman starter at the end position, displayed a very fine type of playing in his first start of the season before the home fans. At many times during the game be pene-trated deep into enemy territory to stop any returns of Vetter's long kicks, which averaged 37.8 yards. There was only one substitution during the entire game in the line, and the line functioned perfectly at all times. They tightened during the second half so strongly that Ottawa was able to make only seven yards from scrimmage during the entire period. Every linesman did outstand-ing work to open wide gaps in the Ottawa line through which the backs scrambled for frequent gains. The starting lineup: Ottawa Pos. McPherson Dryden LE.............

Agony! Tha's what it was! When the winning touchdown was made at the game last Friday, some of the girls were beneath the stadium slap-ping mustard and wrappers on the hot dogs to be sold at the half. When the cheers fairly uprooted the struc-ture, the girls could hardly accept their misfortunate predicament in |
spite of the fact that they received free "hot dawgs" for their trouble. Only five freshmen boys turned out to decorate the football field at the last game and they staunchly declare that "We shinned up the goal posts and wound paper around them and the cross bars without even a ladder!"

Ottawa plays William Jewell college in a non-conference contain this weekend. This should be a close game, but we expect Ottawa to bounce back after last week's trouncing and win this one. In another non-conference game College of Emporia is host to the Emporia State Teachers in a homecoming celebration. Washburn defeated C. of E. ft to 0 early in the season and Emporia State walloped Washburn 3 8 to 7 last week. On a mathematical basis, Emporia State is thus considered 57 points better than C of E. However, Emporia State will probably use its reserves to a great extent in this game. Bethel is idle this week, thus giving them two weeks to prepare for the Bulldogs in McPherson's Homecoming game. lacking in the Ottawa game, when Bethel outrushed the Breves. College of Emporia played the only non-conference game last week and were quite lucky to get a 6 to 6 tie with South western. The first downs made in the game were 9 to l in favor of Southwestern. C. of E. scored their lost touchdown after recovering a fumble deep in Southwestern territory. Several developments are apparent after the conference play of last week. The most noteworthy was the change of the Bulldogs from the darkhorse— or unknown quantity—of the confer-ence into a conference contender, Ottawa was suddenly wiped out of the center of the conference picture and will probably continue to lose ground. Wesleyan and Bethany still main-tained their load, while, Baker showed strength in defeat. C. of E. suffered a severe loss when Alvin "Bud" Larson decided to quit school and were extremely tacky to tie South- Bulldogs Try For Second Conference Win They Oppose Baker Wildcats This Afternoon At Baldwin By Dean Stocky After winning their opening conference game last Friday against the Ottawa Braves, the Bulldogs travel to Baldwin today to uphold their standing at the top of the Kansas Conference, There they will meet the strong Baker University Wildcats, one of the pre-season favorites to take this years title. The Wildcats, a team rated very highly at the beginning of the season, got off to a poor start by taring their opening game to Colorado College by a score of 20 to 0. They continued their losing streak by bowing to Bethany at Lindsborg 14 to 13. Owing to their close defeat at the hands of the Swedes, Baker will probably be harder to handle than before. Two years ago the Wildcats won a close affair from the Bulldogs 9 to year won a free-scoring dual from them by a 28 to 31 score. This year the McPherson gridsters hope to As a result of their victory last Friday night over the highly touted Ottawa Braves, the Bulldogs are counted as real contenders for the Kansas Conference championship. Ottawa did not threaten seriously to score at any time during the game, and the Bulldog offense and defense functioned very smoothly. Coach Hayden made onlyone substitution in the line during the whole of last week's contest, and it is expected that he will use the same starters in the line which he started in the Ottawa game. The ends will probably be Junior French and Dick Cullen. Callen caught a pass in the end zone to score the lone touchdown of the game last week and French played a splendid defensive game all the way, several times nailing the kick receiver far back in enemy territory. The starting tackles will probably be Merlin Myers, a spark plug in the line against Ottawa, and Reinecker, the tall left tackle for the Bulldogs. The guards will be the two veteran lettermen, both of whom played splendid ball last week, Bob Cook and Raymond “Dutch'' Goering. At Center will be Raymond "Squeak” Meyer, an all-conference player. With the toss of Keck, who suffered a fractured arm against Ottawa, and Glen "Flipper” Funk, the back-field will probably be revised to a great extent. However, it is nearly certain that it will be built around Jack Vetter, the player who has sparked the Bulldog offense this season. The other player, who will probably start in the backfield are Sylvan Hoover and Calvin Jones, with the fourth choice undecided and Merlin Brubaker, Wilbur Bullinger, and Milo Unruh as possibilities. Early Favorites Taste DefeatOttawa Domination Ends As Bulldogs, Coyotes, Swedes Lead Suprising everybody but themselves, the McPherson Bulldogs upset the Ottawa Braves last Friday night by the score of 6 to 0. In this, the feature game of the conference last week, Ottawa was outplayed much more than the score indicated. McPherson was even on the 1-yard line as the game ended. The offensive play of Vetter and the defensive play of the line were out-standing for the Bulldogs, while De-Vore was the best for the losers. In a closely fought game Bethany defeated Baker 13 to 12, by virtue of Harry Peterson's point all after touchdown. Bethany was deep in Baker territory as the game ended. The win put Bethany at the top of the conference with two wins and no loss- Kansas Wesleyan beat Bethel 13 to 0 last week in a Thursday night affair. The statistics in this game about even, but Bethel lacked the scoring punch. This was also |
This Headline Is Born With much mental labor, this headline was finally constructed. Starting with such mental monstrost-ties as "Dribbles and Punts," "Punts and Passes," "Boots and Bingles," and going into older SPECTATOR sports heads as "Time Out For iScoops,” "Let The Chips Fall," and From Out Of Bounds,” we decided older heads just wouldn't have the scoring punch of a new head. "Ye Olde Sports Chaffe" and "Keep Up The Chatter" were designed more for cheerleaders than for us, so we discarded them, also. From the Sage of Fahnestock Hall we finally derived a punny but not puny, title. With his permission, we would that he "Let Bulldogs Bark!" To Tame Wildcats Well, after making the Braves look like a bunch of squaws our next little job will be to tame the Wildcats into a crew of tabby cats. Wo are very glad to see Coach Hayden back after his little case of flu. Everyone can rest a little more about the water situation at Baker, because the team will only be them a few hours before starting time. They spent the night last night in Ottawa and did not leave for Baldwin until this morning. Players have complained in the past that the Baldwin water has made them a little sick, and if it would have been necessary good old McPherson H2O have been lugged along. Keck Has Fine Disposition Everyone is worried about Keck's condition it seems, but Irvin himself. Doctors say that they wish all their patients would have his disposition: he was worried all Friday night about how the game was progressing. Irvin's blocking and running will be missed to no little extent in the fu-ture, and he has left a difficult position to be filled. He has had a lot of hard luck in his football career here and in spite of it be has played a lot of wonderful ball. Jack Vetter StarsGene Wilber has again made his appearance out at practice and will probably be of some value to the squad. It should not take many more exhibitions like Jack Vetter turned in last Friday to place him definitely Fanny Blows OffOr Chafes At the Mouth I'll bid three hundred. — Oh, hello there! Come right in, just hav-ing a little pinochie game. Yeah, pinochle and popcorn season is here a pop corn popper from" is now the universal thought. "Shoot the maiz-ie to me. Daisy!" Gosh, that was Arnold did all right Saturday nite. She, nuff! She looked mighty party. Noticed a coupla' pipes, and I don’t mean gas pipes, in one room. Wonder if the gals smoke 'em?

which he did reminded many of the stuff your see in newsreels. "Squeak” Meyer and "Dutch” Goering are already making strong bids. With a good season several more will prob-ably be choices. Bethel Idle This WeekBethel, the next hurdle for the Bulldogs after they finish the score with Baker this afternoon, is idle this week. If they had any players on the injury list they would be fortunate for the layoff, but as they haven't any, it probably won't do so much good. Too many times a team gets a little rusty after a long rest. It is psy-chology to a great extent. One ex-ample of psychology was — Cap-tain Meyer suddenly popped up with the question as the ball was about to be snapped. "Hey, wait a minute are you guys all eligible?" The next play was a loss of several yards for the opponents. Gridsters Are Human Even football players are human as is shown by a few interseting inci-dents. For instance, all the gridsters are saying a lot about the new, proud grin which Coach Rock has been displaying, and the candy bars which he has been passing out here of late. Wanamaker has definitely told Mr. Hayden that he will make one more trip to Missouri, and naturally Coach says he will have to be shown that it is only one. (He isn't from Missouri. however). Merlin Myers is being groomed as a mascot for some recreation parlor, but as yet we haven't found out which it could be. When Coach asked Calvin Jones whether or not he would be interested in going to Ottawa, Jones' reply was, 'I'll let you know as soon as I find out if I can go". Well, Calvin, everyone naturally wonders who has become the new boss. |

With any one of five teams capable of winning it. Bethel and College of Emporia are not expected to win many conference games. At present three teams lead the conference. Bethany has won two and lost none, while Kansas Wesleyan and McPherson have won one and lost none. In one of the feature games this weekend the McPherson Bulldogs will meet the Baker Wildcats. The game will be played this afternoon at contenders, and Baker cannot be taken lightly even thought she lost to Bethany last week. The Bulldogs will be gunning for their second conference win. Glen Funk and Irvin "Red" Keck are lost to the Bulldogs for the rest of the seas an and Bob Brust probably will not be ready for this game. The Wildcats have a strong team built around the much publicized "Sailor Boy” Hodges. But we'll pick the Bulldogs to win this game by a close score. In the only other conference game the Bethany Swedes journey to Sa-lina tonight to play the Kansas Wes-leyan Coyotes. This has developed into a grudge game since the famed Mapes case. Both teams will shoot the works in this game. This game will be very close, and we'll let you pick the winner of this one. Let Bulldogs Bark By Dean Stucky, Sports Editor The squad is still wondering what has become of the two quarts of icecream which was promised to them by an uptown drug-store. It seems that Dick Callen misunderstood and thought that it was promised only to the follow who made the touchdown. Two quarts of ice cream is quite a little for one man to eat, but Dick was back in school again Monday. of the fellows are still bemoaning the fact that Everett wouldn't park. Student ministers, here is your chance for a little practice. Jim Burger should be told what happens to little boys that continuously divulge such rash prevarications as his tall tales about bull snakes and cats. Shhhh! What was that? I just heard Arnold whisper that one of her freshman girls had Sensation McAuley under her thumb! Ho, ho! That makes me snicker. I guess she doesn't know McAuley. I guess that's what college is for though, education and staff. As ever only more so, Fanny
