He’s In The Dog House!

By Carole Huffman

Frequently upon inquiring the whereabouts of someone, the answer is "He’s in the Dog House.” Contrary to the usual connotation of the phrase this is quite a re-, spectable place on Macampus. The Dog House Is the place at which we buy our hot dogs and dunk our doughnuts.    

The name is in keeping with our McPherson traditional emblem. the bulldog. It is a nonprofit organization sponsored and operated by the Student Council. This year it is under the supervision and management of sophomore Donna Lou Sooby. “Peanuts? Or Popcorn?"

The Dog House staff is a group of dapper folk who trip around behind the counter, serving us quickly and efficiently. Waitresses are: Anita Rogers. Kathlyn Lar-son, Claudia Stump, Barbara Berry, Rita Ellen Royer, and Elsie Kindley, Geneva Krehbiel substitutes when the occasion demands.

BSCM Conference To Convene In Virginia Thanksgiving Weekend

About Macollege campus some discussion has been heard concerning the BSCM conference, the initials standing for Brethren Student Christian Movement. This year their annual conference will be held at the Brethren College campus in Bridgewater. Virginia.

The conference in to begin on Thanksgiving day at four in the afternoon and continue until the following Sunday afternoon. The BSCM is not only for students attending a Brethren college, but for all Brethren young people, although the conference is always held on one of the Brethren col-lego campuses.

This year it is hoped that enough students from Mac will desire to attend that a bus can be chartered, but if not, cars will transport the group to Bridgewater.

Macampus Makes Ready For Chase

The S C A has announced that Sadie Hawkin's Day will be Saturday, October 28. The festivities will begin with the "chase" starting at 8 a. m. Thursday, Oct. 26. and ending Friday evening at 5 p. m.. with the annual Sadie Hawk-in’s Day party being held in the gym Saturday evening. Oct. 28.

Sadie Hawkln’s Day was heralded into the events of Macampus on Nov. 7, 1941 with these calm headlines appearing in the Nov. 6th Spectator: "SADIE HAWKIN’S DAY TO BE TOMORROW.” It was the brain child of several persons of the campus and in particular, Dick Burger. Mac grad who is now a missionary in Africa.

The first observance had some of the following rules:

The "chase” shall begin on Friday at 1 p. m. and end on Saturday at 5 p. m.”

Little Abner shall be chosen from the elusive males who have escaped capture.

Daisy Mae will be chosen from one of the girls who have captured a male and her escort shall be turned free, to be chased by the unattached females of the party.

Daisy Mae shall receive a special prize, Little Abner as her partner.

These are just a few of the rules adopted in 1941.

The SCA informs the student body that the rules for this year will be made public at a later date.

So gals, start training for this Macampus classic, and boys, beware, for as Judge Hawkins says. "If a gal catches a man on this day, he's Hern."

Mister: If I can't get home this evening I’ll send you a note. Missus: Never mind. I already found it in your pocket before supper. A one-wheeled car trailer, a tractor scoop for earth moving, and several tractor jacks are among the projects of the students in Farm Mechanics.

Thursday night found Mac stu-dents down town in the strangest garb .... their pajamas! Bright reds, blues, in fact every color of the rainbow, made the pajama parade colorful, as the students paraded down through the main streets of town and through business establishments (and the pool hall). The cheer leaders led’ the crowd in some fast yells as they stopped to catch their breaths after the pulls and yanks of "crack the whip.”

Betty Ann Murrey has taken up petty theivery in the last week or so. Her roommate discovered the seat of a car in their closet which Betty Ann had hidden there, much like a pack rat collects and hides his loot. The strange, thing about the affair is that Betty Ann insists oh trying to blame others for her crime. The scat was found in the closet after the pajama parade . . . It belonged to Irwin Porter.

Parties are still the latest and most popular entertainment on Macampus, according to the number which have been given lately. Barbara Marchand gave a party in her home after the football game Friday night. Those present were Joan Pinther, George Keim, Mickey Akers, Wayne Blick-enstaff, Lucy Flory, Duane Jamison, Sue Smith, John Robison, Elsa Kurtz, Marlin Walter, Art Myers and the hostess, Barbara Mar-chand.

Peg Sargent also gave a party at her home, following the Bull-dog-Wildcat duel. Guests were Rowan Keim, Betty Ann Murrey, Phyllis Bowman, Beverly Turner, Ann Carpenter, Joan Pinther, Or-va Willems, Marilee, Grove, and the hostess, Peggy Sargent.

A slumber (less) party or two were enjoyed in the dorm last Tuesday night. The girls slept in the parlor on nice soft blankets "placed on the hard floor! Those who enjoyed said pleasures were Peggy Sargent. Orva Willems, Beverly Turner, Mickey Akers, and Lucy Flory.

Fourth floor Arnold had a “sing” last Monday night. They went around to the different rooms on third floor singing such songs as "I'm a Little T. N. T”. Third floor hot to be outdone, in return sang “She Waded in the Water” for the benefit of the fourth floor girls. Then the girls joined in a song or two to keep the two floors on equal terms.

Monday afternoon Donna Sooby was haring trouble with the “Hoopee". It just would not start. One kind boy got it started for her, and a group of girls piled in, bound for town. Along about Main Street, the “Hoopee" refused to go further. The girls used their muscles and brawn but the car would-n’t go. Finally a pick-up truck took pity on the young ladies, and the “Hoopee” once more rolled along. The faithful car ran chokingly till it got to the drive in back of Arnold then it died. Maybe Donna what have to hire a pick-up to push her from now on.

Mary Ellen Yoder was the guest of Mary Louise Hutcherson, off campus, last Sunday night, and Joan Pinther, Carole Huffman and Dorothy Swinger had a slumber party in Mary Ellen's room. The girls overslept, and consequently one of the girls missed her 8 o’clock English class.

Those'who went to Wichita over the weekend for District Conference were Phyllis Bowman, Royce Beam, Doris Kesler, Dave Metz-

ler, Betty Ann Murrey, Irwin Porter. Claudi Stump, Naomi Man-key, Ruth Crumpacker, Albert Rogers, Don West. Dick Wagoner.

The boys in Fahnestock could have made good use of clothespins last Tuesday night after an “unknown"? group of girls put sulphur candles in the windows of some of the rooms in the boys’ dorm. The odor was potent, for it could be detected all over the campus. Some of the boys have been wondering how innocent little girls could think up such a mean trick.

Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Neher visited their daughter. Rowena last weekend. Rowena had been ill all week.

Phyllis Johnson visited her home in Missouri last week; Mildred Beck visited her home in Nickerson, Kansas; Maxine Coppock went to Kress, Texas to visit her home; and Winifred Reed and Martha Jo Rhodes visited their homes in Little River over the weekend.

“Kansas City, here we come." That’s what a group of Mar students sang on their way to the big city last week. The purpose of the trip was to see the stage play Lost in the Stars. Wayne Zeigler -took his car and those who accompanied him were Miss Lehman, Kathlyn Larson, Butch Coffman, Frank Hanagarne, and Norma Couch, Norma visited her home in K. C. while the group was there.

The football game was well attended by both young and old of McPherson, last Friday night despite the rain. The WAA girls sold food to soothe the aching throats of the enthusiastic spectators.

A young lady who had parked her car in forbidden territory returned some two hours later to spy from afar a large and patient policeman curled up in its front seat awaiting his prey.

Making a quick decision, she stepped into a taxi, rode home and telephoned the police Department that her car had been stolen.

An hour later the car was returned by the same traffic police-man, quite proud of his alertness. —Typing Tips

Bricks are now being laid for the new addition to the Frantz Industrial Arts Building. The concrete was poured for the founda-tion three weeks ago.

The Presbies are coached by Wayne McConnell, former headman at Effingham, Downs, and Manhattan high schools. McConnell’s team at Manhattan last year ranked in the top 10 in the season.

C of E was ranked as a leading contender for the Kansas Conference crown this year with 23 let-termen returning from a squad that nearly wrecked the KCAC the last month of the '49 season. However, the Presbies have already lost their first four games. Two of the losses were in the conference —13-2 to top-seeded Baker, and the stunning 12-7 upset by Bethany last week. In previous non-conference play they were defeated by two crack Missouri squads —Missouri Valley 480. and Warrensburg Teachers 2621.

The C of E base their offense around the accurate left-wing of Durand. Durand is not only a great passer —four touchdown passes already this season —but he has three of the top receivers in the conference in ends Bob Swedberg and Steve Bodnarchuk and back Jim Naughton.

Naughton, a 170 pound junior from Long Beach, Calif., was the top scorer for the Presbies in ’49. He’s the top runner on the squad, fast and deceptive.

Working with Durand and Naughton in the backfield are Bob Sandusky and Ray Morey with lettermen Wes Thew, Gene Sobke, Roger Munson, and Earl Painter backing them up. Thew packs the Presby extra points.

The line is anchored around John Majkrazak, a tough 190 pound guard from Manville, N. J. All starting linemen are letter-men Swedberg and Bodnarchuk at end, Hawaiian Willie Chal and soph Jack Cracraft at tackles, Majkrazk and senior Bob Fiatte at guards, and John Moreland at center.

The Bulldogs played their heat hall in four seasons against Baker. Despite the loss, the bulldogs need now take no back seat to anyone in the conference if they make normal improvement for the remainder of the season.

George Goff, at Iola Junior College last year, displayed the form that won him all-state Juco honors in '49. Johnny Robison, a former teammate of Goff at Lawrence Liberty Memorial High School, was equally great on the offense. Robbie was the leading groundgainer with 90 yards in 13 carries.

The rain kept the Bulldog passing game from functioning as it did in the previous two games. Wayne Blickenstaff, who threw touchdown strikes in the season’s opener, was idle the complete Baker game. The knee that Blick injured at Wm. Jewell is expected to be improved enough that the Nampa, Ida., freshman will at least ’see offensive duty.

Tackle Joe Pate has missed at least two practice sessions this week taking his selective service physical at Kansas City. Joe has been bothered by a sprained ankle.

Swedes Settle One Score; Bethel Next?

Kansas Conference

This Week's Games MC at C of E Bethel at Bethany .

Ottawa at KWU (Sat.)

Last Week’s Scores MC 6 Baker 13 Bethany 12 C of E 7 Ottawa 27 Bethel 0 KWU 14 St. Benedicts 19

One year ago at this time Linds-borg was toasting their own Bethany Swedes as the best team to hit the Kansas Conference in a decade. They had just smothered Baker 21-0 and were apparently going to romp home with the Kansas Conference crown.

When they later beat C of E 13-0, the Swedes kept their unscored upon record in the conference clean but in the process lost all-conferance players Bill Eng-strom and Jack Teitenburg for the season and had enough of their other players injured to wreck the season. Ottawa swamped them 470 and Bethel upset them 13-6.

This season Ray Hahn has sung the miseries. His line averaged a scant 170 pounds, and there were only a handful of lettermen. As usual the Swedes have arrived with something unexpected regardless of the predictions.

After losing 25-7 to a strong Kearney. Neb.. Teachers squad and 7-0 on a fluke to northwest Oklahoma in non-league play, the Swedes tied KWU 14-14. Last week they served official notice that they are going to settle a few old scores by surprising C of E 12-7.

The memory of the 113 yards C of E    penalized last year

in crippling the Swedes right out of the flag practically eliminated the Presbies from contention this year. All-conference halfback Billy Carlson, one of the few who survived last year’s game without injury, passed for both touchdowns. Don Durand’s fourth quarter flip to Bob Swedberg brought the only Presby score.

Tonight the Swedes go after the second block In their revenge campaign as they take on Bethel at Lindsborg. The third corner of the campaign will be the homecoming affair at Lindsborg against Ottawa Oct. 28.

The McPherson College Bulldogs found the football and Baker’s Boyce Smith equally slippery as the Baker Wildcats edged Chal-mer Woodard’s squad 13-6 in the first home game here last Friday.

Rain which fell intermittently for the final three quarters kept the Bulldogs from sustaining a complete offensive. Seven fumbles, of which Baker recovered five kept the Bulldogs from advancing farther than the Bakers 30 after the rain started in the second quarter.

The rain did not stop the Wildcats bounder, Boyce Smith. Smith gained 167 yards in 27 attempts, scored the winning touchdown, and passed to Gene Chubb for the other six points.

Before the rain started the Bulldogs had scored first and were started on a second march. The touchdown drive started late in the opening stanza after Baker had punted out on their own 38. A four yard loss on a reverse and a penalty set MC back to the 47. Nine yards by Kerr and 13 by Robison gave the Bulldogs a first down on the 25. Two rushes by Gene Smith, one by Don Hoch, and a penalty put the ball on the six. Robinson busted the line three times, finally slipping across from the two. Hoch’s pass for the extra point was incomplete.

The Bulldogs started a second drive after taking possession after the kickoff. The attack bogged on the 30. and Baker took over simultaneously as the rain started. For the only time in the game the Bulldogs let down. After a short delay in the rain during a penalty controversy. Baker roared back.

Boyce Smith sandwiched runs of 11, 12, and 29 yards around Harry Barrett’s five yard advance. With the ball on the 14. Smith caught the MC secondary flatfooted and tied the game up with a scoring pitch to Gene Chubb.

The Bulldog line that had been so vulnerable a week before, played great defensive ball the sec-ond half but finally yielded after twice holding the Wildcats on the scoring doorstep. The goal line stand for four downs after Baker was only three yards from a touchdown was one of the top defensive jobs seen here in years.

With four minutes remaining Johnny Robison fumbled on the 42, and John Zorn recovered. Again Smith was the thorn in the side. After reaching the 18. Baker ran a lop-sided spread play to the right four consecutice times. The first time Smith gained 13 yards, the second Bus Hill was stopped at the line of scrimmage, the third brought incomplete pass. On the fourth try Smith went over. Chris Schwanz kicked the extra point, but it was superfluous.

Howard Mehlinger tried two desperation passes but the Baker line rushed him too hard and both tosses were incomplete.
