Rejuvenated Spectator In Today’s Issue

New Features, Cuts, and Columns Added

There will be numerous changes in your Spectator this week as the second semester begins. Several new columns and features have been added.

Among the major additions to the Spectator will be a series of articles on the college. Features, trying to catch a little of the mythology, a little of the flavor that permeates the institution, will appear weekly. Many of the stories will be about men, of the present and the past, who have been associated with the college.

“The Philosophy of Professors,” will be printed three times a month, with the “President's Corner,” appearing the first week of the month. Various professors will be guest writers for the “Corner."

“We Salute,” a column devoted to the interests of alumni and friends, will begin next week. "Cuts” of prominent alumni and a brief synopsis of their work will be printed. Dr. Mohler and the Spectator have collaborated to form this file.

“Inter-Collegiate Review.” is a brief survey of the doings of other colleges. “Campus Chaos.” will collect the chuckles of the daily happenings of the campus. “By-Line.” will be an informal editorial column discussing campus problems. “Top of the Week.” is a conglomeration of notes that have been collected.

A survey of the SCA program will appear in a column each week in which the highlights of that organization will be presented.

Going from the sublime to the ridiculous, we find a column called, “Dear John,” written by one of the most prominent psychos on our fair campus. Said psycho labors under the delusion that he knows all about throwing out useful advise to those who suffer from palpitation of the heart, weak knees, glazed eyes—or to those wonderful beings who are victims of Freud’s ever present “Libido.”

Constructive suggestions will bo submitted by guest writers in the brief column, “The School of Quality.” “The College Comedy” will try to “catch” the top humerous incident of the week.

The “Gallup Poll” of the college will test the student’s opinion on national and campus matters and will be found under the heading “The Pulse of the Public.”

Beginning with this edition, pictures of the basketball players with a brief sketch about the player will appear on the sport page.

the job of making Christ known to the world. He told us that the people in China, as well as the people in all other parts of the world constantly plead, “We would see Jesus.” His message was that we should answer that plea, either by contributing to the missionary funds or by becoming missionaries. In closing Dr. Crumpacker emphasized a message that General Chiang Kai-shek sent to the General Mission Boards in America. General Chiang Kai-shek asked them to send back to China all the missionaries they possibly could.

The speaker is a former student of McPherson College having graduated in 1906, he has been a minister of the Gospel for forty-seven years. He has been prominent in China mission work, holding the position of Director of the founding of the Church of the Brethren Missions in China from 1910 to 1941. For relief work that he did during the postwar famines and plagues following World War I, Dr. Crumpacker received two tours around the world and lived for many year in China, but now he resides in Elgin. Illinois. While in China. Dr. Crumpacker helped install four men into the Christian ministry; he helped organize four substantial churches there in China, and ordained one Chinese and ten American ministers.

The McPherson Varsity Male Quartet provided part of the entertainment of the evening.

Dr. Crumpacker expressed one of his greatest desires when he slated. “I hope to have another term in China.”

Quadrangle Awarded To Best Feature

Contest Rules For Reporters Announced

A free Quadrangle will be awarded to the writer of the best feature this semester as announced in the contest rules by the staff of this paper this week.

All McPherson College students are eligible for the contest, with the exception of the editor and business manager. The editor reserves the right to determine which articles shall be judged features.

Top Leaders For Regional Retreat

The Regional Youth Retreat of the Western Region of the Church of the Brethren will take place February 21-23. 1947. The leaders for the retreat will he Paul Miller. Dr. Karl Downs, Bob Tul-ly, and Don Snider. The youth retreat will be held at McPherson immediately preceding the Regional Conference.

It was in November when things began to happen in the parlor and office of Arnold Hall. Of course, things are always happening there, but the phenomenon which suddenly appeared before the eyes of all who cared to look was quite different from anything which had happened for some time.

First there appeared two rugs which were laid in the aforementioned rooms. Next, various pieces of furniture began to arrive one by one or two by two. Christmas came and everyone went home joyfully, but when they again set foot on Macampus and in the Girl's Dorm they were

Last Sunday evening Dr. Franklin Henry Crumpacker spoke to approximately four hundred people in the basement of the Church of the Brethren at the annual birthday dinner. An offering was taken during the course of the dinner; the amount of money given was symbolized by a candelabra consisting of eleven candles, each of which represented one hundred dollars. The ceremony was climaxed when six of the eleven candles were lighted. The offering, $653.89, will be used for missions. Reverend James H. Elrod was the chairman of the evening’s program.

Dr. Crumpacker spoke earnestly and sincerely, urging each and every one of us to invest in

McPherson College won a smashing victory over the College of Emporia cagers last night at Convention Hall. At the final whistle the Bulldogs held the decisive margin of 50-37. It was the Bulldogs all the way with the Presby’s never in the -ead. The half-time score was 25-17. Fisher led the attack with 11 points. Carlson followed with 10.

Cast Away Cares; Elrod's Host To “Married Maes”

Tonight at 6:30, the “Married Macs." will be entertained at the home of Rev. and Mrs. James H. Elrod, 1722 East Gordon. The main event of the evening will be a “Potluck Supper”, composed of whatever happens to he "left over” or otherwise. The married couples will take covered dishes and coffee, rolls and table service will be furnished. Children of those attending the party will he taken care of by t wo of the college girls. So, with Mamma and Papa having a load taken off of their minds, and all the “Macs” who are married and have no children (can they he envied?) are expected to turn out for the occasion, with fun in store for all.

greeted by a sight which was truly for sore eyes. Draperies had been hung and more furniture added. It was really beginning to look like home. Excited girls were so happy they practically jumped up and down, but they refrained themselves because they might spoil the rug by so doing.

Really, it did look wonderful from all angles. Divans, chairs, and hassocks were tried out and proved to he as nice as they looked. Pictures were viewed by critical eyes and those same eyes gave their approval. Telephone stand, desk, and chairs beside the pictures, mirrors, draperies, and rug in the office were tested for

Children's Home

Laud SCA Work

The following letter was received last week from the Wichita Phyllis Wheatley Children’s Home:

Accept our apreciation for the lovely gifts you sent us at Christmas and your president, Mr. W. W. Peters, was so kind to bring. You helped to make the holidays more enjoyable for our children who join us in thanking you. Very truly yours,

Mrs. F. O. Miller, President; Mrs. Daisy L. Brown, Supt.” This project was sponsored by the S. C. A. for the colored children in the Home.

Hershberger Ends Mission School

To climax the January School of Missions, Professor E. S. Hershberger presented his own personal motion pictures and art sketches of life in India at the church last night. Professor Hershberger has served as missionary from the Mennonite Church, and has known the challenge and satisfaction of mission work in India. Rev. Earl Frantz was in charge of the worship service at 7:30. Preceding the evening program, a fellowship supper was enjoyed at the church.

You want to know how this all came about, do you? It was because of Miss Mary Cooley and many other friends of the college. From the girl’s angle, they really appreciate it for the parlor and office are now so beautiful they like to go in much more than they used to. From the angle of the college as a whole, the improvement of the looks of these rooms increases the beauty of the cam-pus as a whole.

Will you please consider this letter as the application for enrollment in McPherson College of John Witmore Burger who would prefer a room in the Men’s Dormitory. Upon request the credentials of the above applicant will be sent from the Jos Hillcrest School. Jos, Nigeria. British W. Africa. Please hold this application under consideration in lieu of the opening of the Fall Semester, 1963.

Monday, January 20, the record of “Peter and the Wolf” was presented to those attending chapel. This interesting diversion from the more common types of chapel programs was deeply appreciated by the majority of the listening students and faculty. The music appreciation class under the leadership of Mrs. San Romani presented this program.

The first chapel of the new semester was presented to a nearly full chapel. Dr. Frank Crum packer spoke on cooperation. The illustration of a basketball team cooperating was given as an example of the importance of working together. No one man can play the game himself. This is also true in almost all other phases of life. An old saying. “If anything is worth doing, it is worth doing well,” was quoted by Dr. Crumpacker who was taught this in his early boyhood days and who firmly believes it. In conclusion he said that in order to make the best of our lives, everyone must live together, work together, and cooperate together.

In Wednesday morning chapel, Dr. Mohler spoke on Loyalty. Two phases of loyalty were given, the first, what it means to the person who is loyal and second, what it means to the person or thing which is the object of the loyalty.

Homes cannot he maintained without loyalty. An excellent example of this is given in which a small hoy gives a blood transfusion to his father, believing that in giving his blood he will die. Several more examples were given illustrating the highest type of loyalty.

One cannot be loyal to many tilings. If a person has no goal to work toward, he should create one, work toward it, and be loyal to it and none other.

An all-school skating party will be held at Peterson’s skating rink on Saturday night from 7:30 to 9:30. Transportation is needed. Those who can provide cars will he appreciated. The party will be sponsored by Thad Jones and Wayne Weber.

“The Pulse of the Public.” one of the Spectator’s new columns, will strive each week to sponsor a pertinent and timely question with tabulations that will reveal the vox populi of McPherson College. Some very interesting and perhaps disclosing subjects are being prepared to feature in this column; any suggestions for a question to be polled will be given consideration if they are submitted to the writer of this column.

The question which was polled this week was “Do you think that there is enough college-planned recreation for college participation here on the campus?” As a secondary item, the people who were polled were asked to give suggestions for now recreation, or for improving the recreation or recreational facilities which we now have. The suggestions which were received are varied. The most suggested improvement was that the swimming pool, which was planned in the Physical Education Building, ho completed. Next In rank was the recommendation that the tenuis courts be finished, and that more adequate equipment bo provided and made available at all times, with supervision, of course, especially for ping-pong and shuffle board of equal Importance were the proposals that the students get behind

Statistics show that there are thirty-seven new students enrolled for the second semester. It is expected that the enrollment will soar even higher, when a number of new students enroll late.

Comparing these figures with those of the first semester it shows an increase of eighteen students classified as freshmen. There are fourteen new sophomores, two new juniors, and three special students, who have scheduled classes for the second semester.

At the beginning of the year a report indicated that McPherson College witnessed her greatest increase in enrollment since 19 20. A check of the files in the college office show that the increase has not quite surpassed the 1920 number. It is a fact, however, that there are more students attending McPherson College today than in the past two decades.

Today there are 495 students enrolled. In 1920 there were five hundred ninety-eight students in McPherson College, the largest enrollment since the beginning of the school in 1SS8. This proves that there is a definite boost in college enrollments after a war.

The freshman class has the greatest number of students enrolled. a total of one hundred ninety-one. This is the largest freshman class for many years and one that was unknown during the war years.

Housing has been somewhat congested during the first semester and will remain so for some time in the future. Rev. Earl M. Frantz is doing everything in his power to see that all of the new students are accommodated accordingly. It is hoped that before long the housing project for the veterans will be completed, thus ending the slightly crowded rooming situation.

Enrollment for the second semester ran concurrent with first semester examinations. The dates for enrollment were from Tuesday, January 21 until Friday, January 24. Second semester classes convened on Monday, January 27.

the Dog House Committee to see that the recreation in the Dog House is developed. and that there be more planned picnics, hikes, and parties of various kinds. Several other suggestions were mentioned.

The final results of the poll reveal that 78% of the persons interviewed think that there is not enough college-planned recreation for college participation here on the campus. The 22% who think there is enough recreation stated that their reason for so answering was the fact that there is not time for more recreation than there already Is. The opinions were distributed as follows: Classification: No.

Each of the above persons was asked the following secondary question: "Do you have any Constructive suggestions for adding to or for improving the recreation we now have?" Only 69% or the people interviewed had sugges-

who thought there was not enough recreation. 41 % of the persons had no suggestions whatsoever.

It may be well for you to understand from -the begin ning why we do not always come up to your expectations First, we are definitely amateurs, working part time. We also carry a full college load. Second, most of our reporters are new to the work. Only two of us have had ex perience on the Spectator before this year. But the newcomers have the making of a good journalistic staff Third, our expenses have greatly increased. The price of pictures in the paper has doubled, and the price of printing has greatly increased. But at the same time we have neither raised our subscription rate nor our advertising rate. Fourth, our deadlines are a definite handicap to us All copy must be in by 11:00 o’clock Wednesday. This leaves two full days for news to happen and become stale before the paper is printed.

As I take up my pen to edit fifteen issues of this paper I sometimes feel rather shaky. After hearing the just and unjust criticism that has been heaped upon the'staff in the past I sometimes feel that it is not worth the effort. In one field of journalism I at least have the qualifications for this job. that is in length of experience. I probably applied for the position of Campus Editor more times than any other person in the history of this paper.

I am partial to the editorial section rather than the business side because the former gives opportunity for more self-expression through writing and style. No doubt a few people are looking with apprehension toward the Spec office for they thoroughly believe, (honestly perhaps) that the radicals now have control of the press; anything can happen and probably will. They should remember what usually happens to most radicals and reformers when they take office. Weighed with responsibility they soon rely on the tried methods for a majority of their decisions. Any problem takes on new phases when you have a chance to do something about it.

This informal column will be devoted to campus problems and items that can be constructively discussed in public. Letters from the readers and the problems they raise will he “aired” here. Instead of starting a lot of false rumors, why not raise a question and find out the facts, if possible. The student paper should express student opion. DGR.

Recently the group packing relief clothing was transferred from Student Volunteers to the Christianity in Action Commission of S. C. A. because it was felt their interests and objectives seemed to be more nearly parallel. In the past semester Christianity in Action under the guidance of Marvin Hanson. Mary Metzler, and Russell Jarboe, has been active in projects or in discussion groups. There were given from time to time various reports—cattle boat experiences en route to and from Greece, conditions and needs at the Beloit Industrial School for Girls, the health problem of Florida, especially among the Negro population in the hookworm belt, and education for peace.

One of the projects of this group was to write letters to the President of the United States and to congressmen, giving viewpoints on vital national matters, such as peacetime conscription, disarmament, and amnesty. Another project was carried out by visiting the homes of shut-ins. There are many elderly people living in the community, and they appreciate small groups of young people visiting with them in their homes. This activity is among the projects of those planned for the second semester of Christianity in Action.

The commission leaders hope to continue with the packing of the relief clothing, too. In connection with this the commission is going to co-operate in an inter-city clothing drive soon to be instigated. The members of the commission will bale the clothing which will be obtained from the results of the drive.

Not many of us have a chance to visit in person and find out what is “going on” on the campuses of other colleges. In this column we would like to give a brief review of some of the highlights of campus activities from the other colleges in the conference. We will also visit some of the other Brethren college campuses and let you “in on the know" about what other collegians are doing.

Hero’s a tidbit for a future date! Marjorie Lawrence, famous metropolitan opera soprano, has been engaged as soloist for the afternoon program given in Lindsborg on Easter Sunday. Also from Bethany College comes “info" about the performance of Handel's “Messiah" which is presented on Palm and Eastern Sundays. Soloists who have been engaged for this festival are Gertrude Berggman. contralto, Florence Vickland, lyric soprano, John Ernest Grant, baritone, and Ralph Niehaus, tenor. Both of the women artists come from Swedish parentage.

Manchester College has started its annual WSSF drive. The WSSF drive gives every college student a chance to contribute personally to the support of another college student in a war torn country. Manchester students have set their goal at $999.99. The World Student Service Fund is a vital part of the UNRRA.

On February 5, former Governor of Georgia, Ellis Arnold, will be guest speaker at a forum meeting at the University of Wichita. Gov. Arnold will be remembered for his state program which included an amendment to let 18 year olds vote, establishment of a teachers retirement fund, removal of the schools from politics and the changing of the penal system of Georgia.

Baker College is completing plans for the construction of a broadcasting station on their campus. Music, Speech, and Physics Departments are promoting this interesting undertaking.

Top honors were won for the second consecutive year by the debate team of McPherson High School at the Central Kansas League debate tournament held in McPherson, January 24. The Salina and McPherson teams tied in the number of debates won and lost, each winning four and losing two. but the local debaters excelled in speaker rankings.

Bonnie Martin, daughter of our own Mrs. Martin of the college faculty, and Scott Jones, comprising the negative team, won all three rounds they debated, and Bonnie ranked as best speaker of the tournament. The affirmative team. Lee Anna Mast and Dianne Johnson, won one and lost two debates, with Dianne ranking second among the speakers.

The final decision on the question of championship will be made by the CKL. If speaker rankings are disregarded. Salina and McPherson will be declared cochampions.

Constructive Suggestions

by Guest Columnist

Suggestions for improving our College by a guest columnist will appear in this column weekly. Coach T. C. Hayden has contributed the suggestions for this week.

“Requests have come to me from other schools for the words and the music of our college song, ‘O Sacred Truth.” But the music is not to be found and the words are not easily located in printed form. Why not have this beautiful hymn printed. words and music, and paste it in our new hymnals, also have it printed in the Growls?

We also need a marching or pep song that would be played at football and basketball games. A pep song with good Bulldog words.”

Edith and Vernon Merkey spent the week end in the home of their aunt, Mrs. S. R. Merkey of Abilene, Kansas.

Eulalia Crist had her parents and her brother, D. Albert, as week end guests. They visited her Friday night, and the family spent Saturday shopping in Wichita. Sunday was spent together in McPherson.

Prof, and Mrs. Bowman, with their daughters. Joan and Donna Marie, spent Saturday in Wichita. Ruth Davis rode with them to her home in Wichita, where she spent the week end.

Lois Frantz, Beverly Smeltzer, Ruth Berry, Hobart Hull, Bill Giles, and Russell Jarboe, were in Mt. Ida, Osage, Pink Creek, and Scott Valley, Kansas, on a deputation trip over the week end.

Ruth and Elizabeth Holsopple had as their guests on Saturday the Rev. and Mrs. W. H. Brower and Mr. and Mrs. C. O. Gibson, all of South English. Iowa.

Philip Snell of Auburn. Illinois, was a week-end guest of June Landes.

A combination farewell and birthday party was given for Dorothy Saylor on Wednesday evening, January 22. Sandwiches and pop were served to the twenty-three guests who met in her room in Arnold Hall. The party was a surprise.

Here we are at the threshold of a new semester, a new beginning, a new chance to put our names on the big book—time to turn a new leaf and reform—or am I being corny? or!

The most chaotic thing to strike the campus since last May, as each meek little student well knows, is the dread Week of Finals. It is all over now but I know we are all still shuddering. It really wasn’t the actual tests so much; it was the reports of test grades: because, no matter how much we hoped to make, the grade was always a little lower. Prof Berkebile smiles sweetly and says that this time of year he would like to take time off and hibernate for about three weeks until the crying and swearing subsides. Maybe the faculty, dear people that they are, would grant each student a three-week leave of absence to recuperate. Well anyway—one semester from now they will be dragging the lagoon for the less well-adjusted students of McCollege. But they won’t find ’em. because they will be home cramming for finals again. Well, so much for an offensive subject.

I have heard it from People who Know that Bernie Nordling is a Brain. But he still has some trouble in getting his words mixed up. Frinstance: in Introduction to Philosophy the other day, he and Susie Ikenberry were discussing immortality. Susie ventured to say that she had been reading some very deep literature on the subject, and Bernie replied, “If

you want to read something deep, wordy, and lengthy, you should try some of the stuff I have been reading on immorality.” Whereupon a fellow student queried: “Have you been reading ‘Forever Amber’ again?”

These diamonds flashing around here really have set the girls’ hearts a-flattering. June Landes and “Bailey” have the newest ones. I think. June was waiting until Philip came home from Europe. Of course we all knew she was getting it, but did YOU?

In high school the teachers always used to have to wake up students in American history classes, but that was nothing compared to the slumberers in chemistry. Prof. B. doesn’t mind, I think, but on the grade cards it really shows.

Speaking of Brains, as I was several paragraphs back, John Firestone is really pulling in the A’s. He is going to be a doctor, and I will wager that he will make a good one, he will memorize the books.

Now that “so and so” is editor, he is going to have ten typical poses of himself to appear in subsequent issues of the Spec. What you can’t do with power!

Braves Beat Mac For First Defeat

Since the last Spec, McPherson College has played three Raines as a result they are in second place in the conference standings (at the time of this writing) Kan sas Wesleyan, who had no team last year, is on top, their only loss coming at the hands of the Bulldogs.

The first of the three games in order, is the game that is keeping Mac in second place, the thriller with Ottawa.

In one of the closest, hardest fought games seen in Mac this season, the Braves put the first and only blemish on the dogs record. 56-55. The first score was determined when little Blaine Hush sank a free throw in the last 10 seconds. An indication of how close the game was is denoted by the fact that the score was knotted 16 different times and the lead changed hands 21 times.

Ottawa got away to a bang-up start and with only a few minutes gone led 14-6. Then the Canine corps got going and held a 23-21 lead at the halftime. The last half was a bitter battle with both teams looking good. Ottawa ganged up on Carlson and Markham but that left Verlyn Fisher open and that proved to be dangerous as he turned out to be the star of the game with 22 points. With 15 seconds to go, Dolly Unruh drew a free throw but failed to connect and the score still stood 55-55. But with 10 seconds to go Rush earned a charity toss and put one in the rack for Ottawa.

Carl Kasey

This is the first of a series of reports on the boys doing the honors on the maples for old Mac this year.

We start off with one of the scrappiest, hardest working boys on the squad, Carl Kasey. Carl is a senior at Mac this year, coming back after spending some time or Uncle Sam. He is a member of the M Club, having earned his letter back in the 4 2-4 3 season. The remarkable thing about this is that it was the first season he had ever been out for the sport, either in College or McPherson High, from which he graduated.

Kasey is only 5 feet, 10 inches; but his regular position is center. It is surprising many times what he does against men “twice his size.” He jumps as if he had springs on his feet and is “rebound crazy.”

Carl can generally be found around the Chemistry department as he is preparing to go into the Chemical research field.

Coyotes Whipped

Kansas Wesleyan came to McPherson January 21. with the only unblemished record in the conference, Ottawa having been beaten by Bethel. The Bulldogs had to win to keep their foothold in the race. And a victory it was. When the final whistle blew, McPherson had a 45-36 advantage.

Wesleyan started good, but it didn't last long. The Coyotes held a 4-3 margin in the opening minutes but the dogs got three quickies to take a lead which they never relinquished. The halftime score was 24-18.

The game was a rough and tumble affair all the way, with each team drawing twenty personals and three men leaving the game with their limit. Wesleyan was using a zone the first half and the Hayden men merely passed the ball around out front until K. W. came after it. This started the rough stuff which continued throughout the game.

The second half was merely repetition of the first half, with the Coyotes switching their de-fense to wishing tactics.

The third game the Haydenmen played since last publication was with the Bethel Grey Maroons on the latter’s court. Verlyn Fisher had a sore foot and the strange court and baskets which added up to a pretty dim picture.

M. C. started slow and so did Bethel for that matter, and when the half ended Bethel was on the long end of an 18-15 score. Then it happened. Mac went completely cold. Bethel, led by Schroeder, grabbed 10 points in the first 7 minutes and the Bulldogs were held to a blank. Things were looking mighty black when all

of a sudden they came through. Markham and Carlson each hit a couple of timely shots, and with help from the rest of the boys, set us back on our feet. When the officials said 4 minutes left, we had erased the thirteen point deficit. We grabbed a three-

point lead and held out on a 41-38 score. Markham was the guiding light getting 18 points. McPherson FG FT F

Conf. Rivalry Keen For Title

The top position in the Kansas conference basketball standings, which saw two occupants the past week, will he up for further heated argument during the next few days.

Kansas Wesleyan’s Coyotes, who relinquished the lead to Ottawa for a 24-hour period last week, then won it back again, will be after their fifth win in six starts at Bethel (2-3) Friday.

The McPherson Bulldogs, who moved into the runnerup slot (3-1) in beating both Wesleyan and Bethel have a date with College of Emporia at McPherson Thursday.

Ottawa’s Braves, who dropped into third place in losing to Wesleyan do not have a conference game this week.

Bethel and Bethany open the conference program at Bethany Tuesday. College of Emporia plays at Bethany Friday.

Kansas Wesleyan was defeated by Fort Hays State 52 to 51 at Hays Saturday night.

This week’s strong non-conference schedule follows:

Monday—St. Benedicts at Baker; Tuesday—St. Benedicts at Ottawa; Friday—Baker at Rock-hurst; Saturday—Bethel at Southwestern.

Individual Sports

Individual Sports met immediately following Volley Ball in the Gym Tuesday evening. Numbers were drawn by each of the girls for position in the ladder ping-pong tournament. Some of the girls played tournament games while others played shuffle board. The girls are in the following order from the top of the ladder: Frances Petefish, Idabelle Ward, Donna Marie Bowman. Masako Nakamura, Lois Frantz. Nina Kag-arice, Arlene Rolfs, Ruth Davis.

“All Stars” Win From B Team

As a preliminary game to the McPherson-Ottawa game, the McPherson B team took on the college All Stars. The All Stars were men picked from the eight college intra-mural teams by the team captains. Neither team had too great an advantage and the halftime score was McPherson B’s 12, All Stars 11.

The two teams fought on even

terms in the second half, and with the score tied 30-30, and ten seconds to play Brust of the All Stars was fouled as he dribbled down the court. The stands were silent as he stepped calmly to the free throw line and then exploded as ho sank the game-winning basket.

The All Stars won the game 31-30.

Quinter Deforpch And Hoodlums Bid For Mural Title

The Sad Sacks finally broke into the win column and walked off with the heavy end of the score against the Married Macs last week. The final tabulation was 36-24.

The Macs got off to a fast four point lead in the first few minutes of play, but the Sacks came back to tie it up and go into a lead that they never relinquished. They played a stellar floor game which caught their taller opponents flat footed. Although Dadis-man scored 17 points for the los ers, he had no support from his mates. Keltner was high for the winners bucketing 15 points.

Deforpch jumped into a second place tie with the Hoodlums by beating the Scraunchers 38 to 25. The Scraunchers put up a game fight in the first half but folded like an empty suitcase after the intermission. Duane' Ward was hot and scored 18 points for De forpch. Beam and West were high for the Scraunchers with 7 apiece.

On Monday night the Sad Sacks were set hack by the Rockets 31-24. The Sad Sacks’ ranks were riddled by graduation, and it was an easy game for the Rockets.

Delbert Smith took scoring honors

for the winners with 14 points. Argabright got 9 and McClung 7 for the Sacks.

Quinter is striving to tighten their hold on first place and should have an easy job of it since their next game is against the last place Married Macs.

Other future games include the Sad Sacks against Deforpch, and the Rockets vs. the Scraunchers.

Bernard Nordling, who has been playing a bang up game this season, has played his last game with the Bulldogs. “Bernie” graduated at the end of the first semester, which, with the end of his Bethel game, wound up his college ball playing.

Bernard has been a valuable asset to the Red and White this year, especially in the drive for the conference title. In his final game he contributed much needed points and played a fine floor game.

Many of you have been wondering why Verlyn Fisher, who played such a snappy game against Ottawa was on the bench down at Bethel. The reason is that Verlyn developed a hemorrhage under a callus on his foot. This had to be removed. However it is OK now, as was indicated by his playing last night.
