Charles Wells, better known as

“Chuck” Wells, the famous sports writer. is also a cartoonist. In last Friday's Daily Republican a cartoon by Wells showed two trailers. One was pulled by a new 1946 car and the other by a man on a bike. “That,’' Dr. Mohler said. “illustrates a college education."

An abundant life or a great life does not just happen. In William Allen White’s autobiography It is found through careful reading that about 100 percent of his energy was spent for one cause. Too many causes with not enough energy spent on each does not strive for a unified life. One boy said if he. chose to be anyone he would choose to be a returnon missionary. He was not thinking of everything however.

You may live an abundant or great life if you choose but there are three requirements you must fulfill. You must have ability: college students have it or they would not be here. Correct attitudes should be attained; anything that isn't good enough to become old-fashioned isn’t good enough for the abundant life. Hard work along with ability and correct attitudes make up the formula for an abundant or great life. It must he remembered that an abundant life does not just happen.

Barbara Holderread sang a solo “The Stranger of Galilee," and Dean Fleming led the devotions.

Thursday afternoon the new Snack Room made its debut. Free coffee was served with the compliments of the King Oscar Coffee Company. Cream (for the coffee) was donated by Select Dairies.

The refreshments for the group that participated in the Kampus Klean-up were served in the Snack Room after arrangements by the S. C. A. were made.

The "open” hours for the Snack Room have been scheduled as follows: 12:30 p. m. to 1:15 p.

in, every school day; 3:30 p. m. to 5:00 p. m. every school day; 9:00 to 10:00 p. m. on study nights: 9:30 p. m. to 12:00 p. m. every Friday: 9:00 p. m. to 11:00 p. m. on Saturday; 4:00 p. m. to 6:00 p. m. on Sunday; and 9:15 p. m. to 10:00 p. m. on Sunday. Ice cream, coffee, pop. and candy will be sold at all times. In addition to these,

doughnuts in the-afternoon, and pie or cake in the evening will be served. Later in the year,

chill and soups will be served in the evening.

Even though its name has not been chosen, and although it is quite far from perfection, one ran easily see already, that the Snack Room will be well worth its cost. How much have YOU donated for its completion???

In case you are wondering what the best dressed Bulldog will be wearing at this big folk dance, jeans and pinafores will be the rage. The gymnasium will be dolled up for the occasion. Remember, it is only 30c for an ev-evening of rustic entertainment. If you are a junior, come and support your class. If you are a senior, well you know how it is with juniors. If you are lower classmen come, because you might be a junior yourself some day.

Do not hesitate if you don’t know how to square dance, because in no time at all you will learn to “promenade single file, lady in the lead Indian style.” and “swing your little squaw 'til all her ribs crack.”

A program given by the alumni of McPherson College displayed an interesting variety of talent.

Miss Leta Wine led the groin) in singing “God of Our Father's.”

A former student, Mrs. Cleo Hill (Enid Greg), sang MacDer-mit’s “In My Father’s House -are Many Mansions.” She was accompanied at the piano by Mrs.

Wilkins (Gertrude Conner.)

Mrs. Wilbur Yoder (Una Ring), recited a humorous reading entitled “Over Drawn Again.”

Dr. R. E. Mohler also an alum-

ni presided.

Fourteen McPherson College faculty members attended the Conference of the Colleges of Liberal Arts at Marymount College, Salina. Kansas, Saturday. October 19. This conference was sponsored by the North Central Association Committee on the Preparation of High School Teachers in Colleges of Liberal Arts.

There were 175 representatives present from the colleges of the states in the North Central area.

Registration Saturday morning was followed by a General Session in the College Auditorium. At 1:30 p. m. sectional meetings were held. Divisions were: (1) The Natural Sciences, (2) The Social Sciences, (3) Communications. (4) Literature. (5) Foreign Languages. (6) Fine Arts, and (7) Education.

Miss Della Lehman was chairman of the Literature group, and Dr. Fleming was chairman of the Educational group. Following the sectional meetings, there was a General Session in the Auditorium at which were given reports from the sectional meetings, and a conference summary.

As a result of the meeting on Education, the State Department of Public Instruction is organizing a State Council on Teacher Education. Dr. Fleming is a member of the committee called to meet in Topeka, Kansas, on Wednesday afternoon, October 30. to formulate plans for the Council.

Dr. Fleming has worked recently in helping to organize the program for the conference at Salina.

Miss Wine Presents Program of Poetry

In the pale glow of candlelight and the fragrance of roses, Miss Leta Wine gave the program at SCA last Thursday evening. The program consisted of four parts with appropriate poetry read for each part: Nature Appreciation— “A Vagabond Song” by Bliss Carman; “Give Me The Splendid Silent Sun” by Walt Whitman: “God of The Open Air” by Henry Van Dyke; “Plaintive Lyrics—“Dirge Without Music” by Edna St. Vincent Millary; “Caliban in The Coal Mines” by Louis Untermeyer; Dramatic. Secular—“The Soul of The Violin” by Margaret M. Merrill; Dramatic, Religious—“Torch Song” by Kenyon Nicholson;

Jesus. As Seen By Mary Magdalene” by Kablil Gibron.

Alice Ruth Bailey furnished the music throughout the program.

It was not the real thing, but probably as near to a screen test as any of the try outs for the one-act plays had seen. Last Monday the SAR was temporarily transformed into a production room of a theatrical association. Many McPherson College students, lured by the adventures of the stage, came to try out for various parts in the three plays.

In the hall outside the SAR. Mary Ann Krumbach received the students, instructing them to fill out two application cards for reference. One person was called into the room at a time, in ease some were inclined to be frightened of too large an audience.

“Miss Wine and Miss Lehman, this is Susie Jones. Susie, these two ladies are the judges,” was the method of presentation Miss Krumbach used. Then. “This is Phyllis Strickler, who will direct ’A Man Needs a Wife;’ Susan Ikenberry, who directs ‘Riders to the Sea:’ and Hillis Williams, director of ‘Alice Threw the Looking Glass’.”

Next Susie was asked which part she preferred to try for. After this part had been announe-ced to the judges and directors, a book containing selected parts to

be read was presented to Susie.

’’Take the stage!” Susie fell her heart skip several beats and she stumbled forward and up on the stage. It was so silent one could probably have heard a pin! drop. Then Susie was given her cue and she commenced:

“A mirror.” Susie paused, assimilating another person speak-‘ng.

“It doesn't matter. It was broken anyway.”

And on Susie read, putting all the feeling and emotion she could muster into the part of Alice. The hook seemed to tremble in her hand at times, and her knees tried to shake, but she kept on with great confidence. When she had finished she gave a sign of relief and sauntered from the center of the stage. She tried in vain to hear what Phyllis, Susan and Hillis were discussing so enthusiastically. She was thanked considerably for her efforts and ushered out by Miss Krumbach.

Susie faced the crowd gathered outside in the hall. There’s Tillie. she thought, I wonder if she is trying for Alice. I suppose she would get the part, she can put more into it that I did. Oh. well, I did my best.

There were many tested be

fore Susie and many after. Some tried out for Several parts. Some did not quite get through reading one. before their voice failed from flight. One girl even fell down as she ascended the stage. Many were experienced in acting and went so far as doing pantomine. There were British accents, Irish brogues, old voices and young voices. Love scenes, sad and happy scenes, and comedy.

Every one who tried put some teal dramatic effort into the particular part chosen. The directors had a hard time in deciding who they thought wus best suited for the various parts in the play they are to direct. After it was all over, some were confident.

| some happy, others sad. all glad the try outs were over. The questions that were uppermost in all minds were: “Will I be chosen for the part?” and “Will I become a member of the Thespian Club?"

The directors, along with Miss Leta Wine. Miss Della Lehman and Rev. Upton, who will assist the students in the productions, are hoping that rehearsals will be able, to begin Immediately. And the student body is hoping that it won’t be too long before they can see the three one-act plays on stage

“The only pre-requisite for a course in taxidermy,” stated Richard H. Schmidt, a farmer from Canton, Kansas, “is determination, a dead bird, and a jack-

knife.”

This was his enthusiastic answer in response to an inquiry

last Friday by a Macollegite ob-

serving. Mr. Schmidt’s taxidermy exhibit displayed in the Museum on the fourth floor of Harnly Hall.

Mr. Schmidt has pursued taxidermy as a hobby for several years and has a varied collection of birds, among which are the Kansas state bird—the Meadow Lark, the quail, oriole, owl, and other bird's.

“Glass eyes for mounted birds are obtained from Germany.” Mr. Schmidt explained. He called attention to the fact that birds mounted before the war have two eyes, but those mounted during the war have only one eye, which is the eye turned toward the public. This was the practice of taxidermists in this country in order to conserve the existing supply of glass eyes.

Dr. Mohler has stated that a course in taxidermy may be offered next semester if enough students are interested in taking it.

Inter-class debates got off to a good start on Monday. October 21, at 6:45 p. m. in the SUR when the seniors versus the juniors dedebated the question picked by Pi Kappa Delta for this year. “Resolved that labor should be given a direct share in the management of Industry.” The junior team, composed of Elsie Schnorr and Carl Stucky, debating the affirmative won their debate against (the seniors, Warren Hoover and Dayton Rothrock. The sophomore team which is composed of Theodore Geisert and Robert Yoder debating the negative won the debate against the freshman team, Valeta Hershberger and Marx Jones, on Tuesday. October 22. The school champions will be determined on Monday. October 28, when the sophomores, debating the affirmative, will go against the juniors. This should prove to he a very hot debate. Anyone is invited to attend. It will be held in the SUR at 6:45.

Try-out for the men’s and women’s debate teams will be held Tuesday, October 29 at 4:00 p. m. in the SAR, for men. and Wednesday. October 30 at 4:00 p. m. in the SAR. for women. Anyone is invited to attend these try- outs. Varsity and other teams will he selected from those who try out. The question under debate is a very important one. This season should prove to be one of the most interesting debate seasons in the history of Pi Kappa Delta. Timidity is no drawback. If anyone is at all interested, he should try for one of the varsity teams.

Junior Class Plans Chapel

The Junior Class presented the Chapel program Wednesday. The

opening number on the program was the hymn “For the Beauty of the Earth” which was sung by the students and faculty and led by Doris Murdock.

The first chapter of Genesis was read by Barbara Holderread. followed by devotions in charge of Miss Holderread. “Hear our Prayer. O Lord" was sung by the Junior Class Chorus,

Williard Agee read “The Creation." a negro sermon. The program was closed with the singing of “This is my Father’s World” by the Junior Class Chorus.

The program was a worship program, a welcome change from the customary lecture.

The city to the southeast of us was the objective of the class in social work on Tuesday last. Under the watchful eye of Dean Fleming, instructor of the course, the group journeyed via automobiles piloted by Haworth, Dell, and Hoover. Inc.

Putting Hoover’s trusty relic in the middle, the three carloads sped on with little excitement, and all arrived safely in front of the Sedgwick County Social Welfare Board for the first tour of inspection (or, more correctly, tour of information-seeking). Shortly after arriving there the director of the agency appeared, and led us to an upper room for an informal discussion of the work which is done under his supervision. (For details on specific subjects see personally some member of the class this article does not have that as its purpose!) He: followed that meeting with an informative guiding tour through

the offices, so that the entire set-

up was made known to us.

Even would-be social workers

need to eat occasionally, and so the “Beverly Cafeteria" became

the scene of interest after leaving the welfare building. Very tasty food was proferred and chosen, with the usual amount of shekels needed to purchase meals these days. After the lunch hour the various students separ-ated to do a little shopping in the “big city" before the next place was to he visited.

(Here a sidelight must be told as to how the professor and one

of his pupils spent the half hour available after lunch. The Dean and Paul Haworth regard their time as worth $1.00 per hour; haircuts cost 75 cents in McPherson. in Wichita, 50 cents. The result: Fleming and Haworth use their valuable time in getting a haircut, saving the taking off an hour during some school day. besides saving a quarter! That is rather close figuring, no? )

The famous Institute of Logo- pedics, speech correction to you. freshmen, was the next place for observation, and the tour at that building proved to be quite interesting. Mrs. Hall was the informer of the Institute’s work, and she very capably explained to her listeners some of the interesting aspects. One highlight at that place was the talking into the “mirrorphone" of every one of the visitors, which machine is used to aid in speech correction. It was evident that much cor-

rective done in the clinic with persons afflicted with certain defects, especially related to the speech.

Dr. Carter wus the expositer of the work done at the Child Guidance Center in another section of Wichita. There much work is done in diagnosing conditions of individuals, especially children, and mostly with psychological disorders, personality disorganizations, etc. Some corrective practices arc followed by the instructors in the Center when the

experimental material is offered —and I have discovered a great deal not included in the theories cluttering up our educational text books!

As for the country here— words are futile to adequately describe the fantastic scenery- gorgeously colored. Great contrasts are to be noted as one sees the very poor and the very rich jostling along the narrow crowded streets of the cities. Many children play in the filth everywhere, digging through garbage like animals.

Time to go but I just wanted to fling a sincere compliment to the Spec staff.

Sincerely,

Mary Beth Loshbaugh

(Quotes from a recent letter to the Spec staff from Mary Beth Loshbaugh who is teaching in Puerto Rico this year. Mary Beth was a graduate of last year’s class.)

Dear Spec Staff:

If the heathen will just be abnormal Lor once and hush up during their siestas I’ll toss a few bouquets in the window of the Spec office. I’ve just finished reading the Oct. 11 issue of your publication, (thanks to my bro ther who shares his—via air mail each week.) Pursuing page three with my usual avid interest chanced to land on that reveal ing little column—Campus Interviews—“What do you think of the Spectator?’’- Humph a heap more than I used to!—Just a minute before anyone jumps to false conclusions. No slams are being thrown at past editors, and staffs of the Spec—it’s just that the Spec was the first newspaper in English I’d seen for six weeks! And if one was inclined to inquire as to the scholastic standing of a certain Miss Loshbaugh in regard to the Spanish grades meted out during her college career sufficient to say “El Mundo” is a bit above my reading level!

Pardon me—time out to settle Gorge—pronounced Hor’he — a curly haired darling—dimpled cheeks and dancing eyes that look like an angel and acts like the devil. Nothing drastic this time —merely a bit of hair pulling— the other day he bloodied a youngster's nose and the next day he scratched his leg open. I seldom interfere unless he gets violent.

Maybe you’d like to know a bit about the school here—a Methodist Mission School, we are located in a better residential section of the city. The building is enormous, five huge wings are sprawled neath one roof in typical Spanish fashion, allowing spacious quarters for kitchen, dining hall, classrooms for over 20 0, students from kindergarten to high school seniors, dormitories for the 60 boarding students, recreational rooms—not to mention lovely single rooms for the teachers.

The youngsters are mostly native though we do have many continental children who are sent here because everything is taught in English. (Missionary children, army youngsters, etc.). The Puerto Ricans are required to speak English at the table and for their class work, which they despise to do.

Frankly, I question the educational values of the first grade— for the children that is. For the inexperienced teacher a wealth of

Should We?

Friday afternoon classes lacked some members as frantic students finished floats for the Homecoming parade. It may be against the rules, but to make Homecoming a success, it is up to the students to pitch in and work. Few if any of the students missed classes because they wanted to, because working on floats is no easy job.

But if McPherson College wants a Homecoming to be proud of, the work has to be done. The students are not in the limelight, but they are willing to help. If this means missing a class, they missed it. If they had not missed it, the parade would not have been the success it was.

Classes were dismissed Thursday afternoon tor campus clean up. This was a vital part of the program, but there should be some consideration for Friday afternoon also.

It may be true that many of the students did not participate in the clean up program, and two afternoons without classes were not deserved; but the situation is still there. It is now a thing of the past, but next year the same problem will arise. Should we miss classes to help the Homecoming activities, or should we go to class?

Everybody Up!

Another Homecoming is now recorded in the pages of McPherson College history. It was the best Homecoming for several years. It made the comeback awaited for. Friday morning saw the sun, which in itself was enough to start things off in a grand way. The parade down Main Street was a credit to the college. The alumni dinner at the church of the Brethren gave the visiting alumni, former students, and friends a chance to get together.

But the game Friday night was the deciding factor in making Homecoming a success. Perfect football weather was contributory as the queen was crowned and the game started.

The stands were filled with football fans. They had come to see a good game, and a good game was in the offing. It was a twenty-eight to nothing victory for the Bulldogs, as the Canines showed good ball playing.

Did the students in the stands back the team as well as they possibly could? This is just a matter of personal opinion with each student. The cheer leaders did a terrific job of leading those cheers. They are three of the best, and they were right out there, doing their job all through the game.

Differences in people make it impossible for complete unity in any group, and these differences show up in a cheering section. If a student wants to sit quietly and watch the game. No amount of nagging will get him on his feet to yell. If he doesn’t have it in him to stand up and holler, he just isn’t going to do it. But you cannot say he is lacking in school spirit just because he does not yell. He is as interested in seeing the Canines come out on top as many who yell their heads off. Different students respond in different ways. It is true we need more noise at the games. The ones who need a pep talk are those dozens who sit and talk and do not watch the game. Sometimes they yell and sometimes they do not; and when they do yell, they do not know exactly why.

There are many who get so interested in a game, such as was played Friday night, that to cheer is only a bother, while to others it is just the way to show enthusiasm. Both have school spirit. It is the third bunch, who don’t know what the score is, that lack the spirit. We need noise to let the fellows on the field know the kids are behind them and that is what the cheer leaders are striving to get when they call for, “Everybody up.’’ Out of courtesy to the team everyone should be on his feet; how to get that response is the question.

A worthy function of the Christian Liberal Arts lege is to increase the worthwhile interests of man as

as to keep vigorously alive the valuable interests one when he enters college. “The more good things we interested in,” wrote Francis Bacon long ago, “the m ardently do we live.” Both variety and depth of inter are characteristics of the educated man and woman.

A liberal arts education is one that is intended liberate; one that releases or frees the mind from

judice, ignorance, superstition and partisanship; one t emancipates the will, stimulates the imagination, broad the sympathies, increases the understanding and ma the individual a citizen of the universe and at home in world of both things and persons.

The business of the Christian college is to deve wholesomely integrated personalities that are adequat equipped and willing to participate fully in life and make meaningful contributions to life. College life should be life at its best in the developing of knowledge and un-

derstanding of, and skills in, the techniques of living whol-somely, meanfully, and magnanimously.

Student Volunteers

One division of the Student Volunteers went directly to the Industrial Arts Building as usual to bale clothing.

The other group met in the SUR. The devotional period was one which was presented at the Youth Conference in Chicago this summer. A new song, “The Old Sheep Don’t Know the Way,’’ was taught to the group and was used effectively in the devotions.

Ruth Lichty, the co-chairman, announced that a schedule is being arranged for deputation trips during November since some churches have sent replies to letters sent out by the deputation committee.

The program committees continued work on programs to be

presented on the deputation trips.

A group of Arnold Hall lasses

plus Miss Mary Slifer satisfy t their

Sunday evening appetite to-gather A committee of two is

chosen each week to be hostesses at the next week's meal. These two buy the food and prepare it for the group of approximately fifteen girls. The expense of each meal is shared by all who parti cipate Besides serving the pur-pose for which it was organized the group also has the opportunity for much fun with each other The girls who plan to come each week are Nina Kagarice, Jane Bell.

Ha Verne Lobban was entertained with a surprise birthday party given by her roommate. Marianna Stinnette. Saturday night. The party began at midnight and lasted approximately an hour. Although the time of day necessitated extreme quietness, Miss Lobban was properly escorted into her twenty-first year. The invitees were Waltine West. Donna Mohler. Masako Nakamura, Doris Coppock, Jane

Bell, and June Landes.

A supper was held Sunday evening as a co-celebration in honor of the Homecoming queen and a pineapple up-side-down cake. Laden with flour, sugar, milk, pineapple and other necessities, five hungry girls filed into the boys

dormitory kitchen at 5:30. At 6:30 a luscious delicately browned pineapple up-side-down cake was ready to be consumed by the girls. The queen received an extra large portion, then had to help with the dishes, but it was all in fun. The participants in the celebration were Phyllis Strickler, Esther Miller, Doris Hamer. Rebecca Spear and Dorris Murdock.

Crist Is President

Of College Orchestra

The McPherson College Orches-tra it announces it's officers for the

following year as follows: presi-

dent Eulalla Crist vice-

president Doris Coppock; and secretary treasurer, John Firestone. The Orchestra has gotten off to a pretty good start, but it needs more members to make it complete. After the new music ar- rives, the orchestra will be able to "get into full swing."

Valgene Culver is another of those famous students from McPherson. The Band is fast finding out that he is a talented drummer.

LeRoy Doty is a Californian whose abilities have enabled him to become a member of the College Church Choir and to secure first place on Burton’s "hit parade."

That fellow you have seen wearing Emogene Woodhatch’s class ring is LeRoy Garst, of Cordell. Oklahoma.

Secretary of the Band for this semester is one of those up-and-coming Quinterites, James Garvey. James may make a few enemies before the semester is over, for he is one of those Chapel monitors.

The tall, dark and handsome McPhersonite with the Orsen Welles profile is Winston Goer-ing. His preference as to Macoeds is vague at present (?).

Quinter has scored again in James Graham who is one of the two Freshmen who "made" the Male Varsity Quartet.

Musical Program Given For Students

The students enjoyed an all-music program during chapel Friday. Professor Sollenberger received a great applause following his beautiful rendition of Reading's Concertina, first movement.

Professor Donald Frederick sang two delightful numbers, accompanied by Mrs. Fredericks. His selections were "Winds" by Test, and a Negro spiritual. "Land of Degraduation’’ by Robert Mac-Gimsey.

Miss Anne Krehbiel displayed her talent as she played "Etude in F Minor” by Carl Dreyer. Coming hack to the stage for her encore. she played "Caprice” by Paganini and arranged by Schumann.

Homecoming activities created a mild stir of dust some of

which this column can use such as the dust of gerlach's car which seemed to attract Carter in that direction, but Paul has gone business is as usual for Reist.

Our little Buster boy that fell for a window the other night and came up with a cut arm showed the home town girl a good time Saturday night. We wondered why he was so intent on letting his studies interfere with bis education. It seems that turn around is fair play as long as you turn around fair-so says Husband Nicholson and Wife Brown as they switch girls. But we could mention another pair of roommates that don’t quite believe in switching around, the feeling is too warm to mention more here.

With the snack room now open it should be much better to write this column. From now on we won't have to spy around all the dark corners or turn the lights on in the SUR room to find out some uninteresting item about some uninteresting people to be read by a critical public. Perhaps from now on we could even stick a little closer to the truth. The snack room really makes a fine addition to our campus and to the social life of the students. It gives the students an opportunity to become acquainted with faculty members over a cup of "King Oscar’’ and that bashful freshman hoy a chance to buy his dream-girl a coke without having to go through the torture of asking her for a formal date. If you students appreciate the snack room as much as you seem to why not cash in your share toward the drive and really finish the room like it should be.

Bechtel Speaks To Student Body

St. Marks Gospel was read to

the student body of McPherson College as the opening for Wednesday mornings chapel service. "How Lovely are Thy Dwellings" was sung by Gordon Corwin.

A few very important words were spoken by Dr. Peters which should be remembered by everyone In the school. He says that he is conscious of the accomplishments and progress of the students already and has no fear that the students will not continue to progress and better themselves. He also made a statement of importance from the janitors to the President himself. "There is no substitute for work well done.”

While traveling from Illinois to Pennsylvania, Dr. Becktel saw many roadside pottery shops. This brought to his memory a poem written by Judge Harry Brockell from East Liverpool, Ohio, the pottery center of the United States. "From Clay to Roses" tells the process by which a piece of clay was manufactured into a beautiful plate. But it tells more than that. Some folks remain as lumps of clay, others are finished and polished, still others have a rim of roses, which Dr. Becktel says is the highest ideal he knows.

Everyone must do their best

and live their best to have a rim of roses in their lives.

Ernie Pyle was loved by the

Americans, mainly because he was unselfish. He had a rim of roses in his life. An elder of the Brethren Church wrote a poem about his brilliant grandson who was a sophomore at a university. This poem was read by Dr. Becktel. Bob, the grandson, was 23 and neither smoked, drank nor swore.

Bob had a rim of roses in his life.

The highest challenge pointed out by Dr. Becktel was to live good lives and do it in the highest way possible.

Jesus would have nothing hut life at its best. This, the students and faculty of McPherson should strive for.

case warrants it, such as remedial reading, when poor reading may be a chief factor in the handicapping of a child.

At various times during the day showers of rain threatened, hut nothing serious developed until the falling of a thundershower about halfway home from Wichita. The "Hoovermobile" developed a deflated tire before reaching home, thus causing a post-ponment of the debates. (Looks suspicious, for Hoover and Schnorr were worthy opponents for the debate!)

At any rate all arrived home with nothing more than tired bodies and weary brains, taxed with the varied and new activ ities of the day, hut with a better picture and a broader perspective in the fascinating field of social work.

Diary Data

It seems as though time drags his feet along the road of life. Yet it was a year ago that—

— the fellows were taking advantage of duck (a boid) season. A few brave females would venture out with them. To quote one, "Gee, it is fun to go duck hunting, even if there aren't any ducks.’’

Touchdowns by

Meats, Fisher,

Cramer, and Martz

McPherson College added another Important victory to its string last Friday night when they downed Kansas Wesleyan 28-0 before a capacity Homecoming crowd. It was Red and White all the way as the Bulldogs proved that they are a team that will not take no for an answer when you talk title to them.

The Bulldogs maintained their reputation for early scoring when they worked a pass and lateral play. Meats to Barr to Fisher which was good for 40 yards and gave Mac a first and 10 on K. W.’s 30. Meats hit the line hard twice to bring it to the 20. Then Jake Cramer flipped a pass to Fisher on the 2, and he went over for our first. Meats booted the extra point and it was 7-0. This ended first quarter scoring and when the whistle blew Mac had the hall on its own 30.

The second quarter opened with the dogs quick kicking to the Wesleyan 4 4. Wesleyan tried a pass only to have it intercepted by Kenny McBroom. The pass and lateral was good for a needed 4 0 yards which placed the ball on the six yard line. Meats tramped the center of the line four times and finally made it. He also made the extra point good and the score stood 14-0. but not for long.

Mac kicked off and recovered their own kickoff which gave them the ball on the Wesleyan 40. The pass and lateral play worked again, this time for 20 yards. Dolly Unruh grabbed a bad lateral just in time and skirted the end but was brought down on the 7. Jake Cramer on an end sweep went over for Mac’s third touchdown and made the score 20-0. Meats’ kick went astray and the half ended with M. C. holding a comfortable lead.

Wesleyan kicked off to open the second half but Mac sent it right back with a quick kick that rolled out of hounds on the one yard line. On the next play Captain Buck Reinecker downed the hall carrier behind the goal line for a safety and Mac lengthened their advantage to 22-0.

For the rest of the third quarter the two teams fought it out. The ball was in Wesleyan territory most of the time and quick kicking seemed to be the order of the day. The quarter ended with the score standing 22-0.

The fourth got under way with Mac reeling off a couple of first downs. Then it was Jake Cramer again. He took the ball, faded to pass, couldn’t find a man so elected to run. saw he had to get rid of it so heaved one down 48 yards through the fingers of a Wesleyan man and into the hands of Martz who went the remaining two yards for our final touchdown. That ended the scoring but not the game. Jim Brust was yet to prove his worth. He got away two beautiful kicks. The first rolled out on the 2 and was good for 58 yards. The second was just as good a kick but it went out of bounds just a foot in the end zone.

So McPherson maintains her first place position and her unbeaten record.

The Statistics:

In a game which the dopsters say will be the game of the year in the Kansas Conference, the McPherson Bulldogs will meet the Ottawa Braves on the latter’s field tonight at eight o'clock.

McPherson at the present is riding on top of the conference in a tie with Baker, while Ottawa is in second place having played one less game than the Canines.

Coach Hayden has been drilling the hoys hard all week in preparation for the toughest game. The boys not only have worked on the finer points of the game but are getting drilled into them the fact that no matter what anybody says Ottawa is fast and they are good and the hoys are going to have to play heads up championship ball to beat out the Braves.

Looking at Ottawa's record the first thing that impresses us is that they have not been scored on in conference competition. However on the other hand. Mac has scored eight touchdowns and a safety in the last two games. But we must also take into consideration that, with the exception of one game, the Braves have had a great offensive.

On that one afore mentioned game, the boys are basing all their dope. Each team played the Wesleyan Coyotes. Ottawa had difficulty in holding them to a scoreless tie while we trounced them 28-0.

However, you can have all the dope you want and rely on it to the limit and some team comes along and upsets the apple cart. Ottawa may he just the team to do it. It looks to me like it is anybody’s ball game.

All of the football fellows felt mighty good last Friday night after they had won the game from Kansas Wesleyan. You should have heard the stories and remarks that were predominant over at the College Inn about 11 p. m. After the game had been won. the Bulldogs that had dressed out in the gym were invited to the Inn to enjoy a chicken-fried steak dinner and get a chance to "tear-down” the Wesleyans anew.

Some of the fellows had bruises, others scratches, all looked very tired. Kenny McBroom was still limping on his hum ankle. Despite the worn-out feeling that they must have had, the victorious footballers managed to muster a laugh after each joke. And it just so happened that everyone told one . . . right on down the line.

Who told the biggest tale. Bobby Barr or Jake Cramer—is still a mystery. Who ate the most, "Dolly” Unruh or Buck Reineck-er, may never be determined.

After they had found their respective seats, and were waiting to be served, Coach Hayden entered upon the scene and wholeheartedly congratualted the perfect plays and the high spirits of his boys.

Later on the food was served and the fellows ate in true "Bulldog” fashion. Enjoying every minute of "talk-bet ween-bite” evening.

At eleven-thirty the last of them had left, and the waiters were ridding the tables and cleaning up. (How well four of the Fahnestock boys know this, they served the football boys, enjoyed their tall' tales and cleaned up after them,. But agreed it was all in a day’s work.

"Having a small steak dinner, though a token of appreciation, is such a meager method of showing how we feel when the Bulldogs come out with a victory like that.” was a bystanders opinion of the gathering there at the Inn on Homecoming night, "But I’m sure the guys must know how grateful and how proud we all are that they have been doing such a swell job and it is for sure that they will keep up the good teamwork.”

Scoring six touchdowns, Ottawa University whitewashed the Tark-io College Owls from Missouri at Ottawa Friday night, 37 to 0, in a non-conference game.

Stanley Hughes took the ball across early in the second period and scored again in the second half on a 46-yard run, Ray Waddell, Walter Moore, Dale Willhite, and Eddie Carver also scored for Ottawa.

The Baker Wildcats made 269

yards from rushing to the Presbyterian’s 68. Sherman Kolancy. Baker right halfback. scored throe of the five touchdowns.

Piling up 13 first downs, a powerful Bethany College football team rolled over Bethel College, 31 to 0 Friday night. The Swedes scored in the first and second periods, twice in the third and again in the fourth. Bethel made two first downs.

BULLDOG FOOT-NOTES

Several things were significant in last Friday's game that make the Canines a team to be feared.

One of the things that make the Macmen click is the fact that the team keeps right on gaining ground when the starters are brought out for a rest. Fellows like Jake Cramer, who has done some beautiful passing and running, Orville Buckingham who had a lot to do with breaking up Wesleyan's T, Jim Brust with his expert kicking, and Martz who does a hang up job of playing end just take up where the others left off and Mac goes on as if nothing had happened.

Another thing that was noticed was the kicking. We didn't keep track of the yardage gained by quick kicking hut that yardage played a tremendous part, not only in our scoring but in keeping the Coyotes back in their own territory where they couldn't set up any scoring plays.

Another thing I noticed, whether to the credit of our boys or the failure of Wesleyan, was the ability to work the same play time after time. Every man carried out his own duties well or it wouldn’t have been possible.
