McPherson Defeats Concordia Teachers
McPherson College stretched its winning streak over a period of two years to five games last Friday night by defeating Concordia Teachers College 46 to 0. For the Teachers’ the defeat was especially bitter as this was their first loss on the home turf in over four years. •
The Bulldogs scored in every per iod of the game and were down knocking on Concordia's door for another marker when the game ended. McPherson showed superiority in all of phases of the statistics, and what really pleased the McPherson followers was the column that said 10 passes thrown 7 completed for a total of 118 yards and one touchdown.
* McPherson’s defensive platoon turned in another night of allowing the opponents practically nothing either on the ground or through the air. Concorida gained a net of only 24 yards rushing and were not able to complete any of the seven passes which they attempted. The closest Concordia ever got to pay dirt was McPherson's 30 yard line.
The Bulldogs scored early in the opening period when Eddie Ball broke away on a 30-yard end sweep to cross the double stripe and hit pay dirt. Dwight McSpadden kicked the goal for the extra point.
This ended the scoring in the first period.
A sustained drive down the field at the beginning of the second period placed the Bulldogs on the one-yard line. From here Gene Smith plunged through the middle of the line for the second touchdown. McSpadden again converted.
A short time later in the same period Gene Smith completed a pass to Bob Bechtel for a 30 yard gain to Concordia's 12 yard marker.
Wayne Blickenstaff then passed to McSpadden who went over standing up to tally 6 points. The try for the conversion was short.
Just before the half ended McPherson tallied again. This time it was Eddie Ball, who with the help of several key blocks, went 56 yards to rack up his second touchdown of the evening. The try for the conversion again failed and McPherson left the field at, halftime leading 27-0.
After the traditional halftime activities, McSpadden put McPherson in scoring position with a 15-yard run and a 16 yard pass from Wayne Blickenstaff. This put McPherson on the three-yard line. John Robison advanced it to the six-inch marker, and on the next play a pass from Blickenstaff to Bechtel was good for another score. The try for the extra point again failed.
Gene Smith scored his second touchdown of the night also in the third period. From 35-yards out, he went roaring through a mass of Concordia players and crossed the double stripe standing up. The extra point attempt failed.
In the final period McPherson inaugurated a 60-yard touchdown drive that culminated with a six-yard plunge over tackle by Bob Bean for the final score of the evening. A pass from McSpadden to Ed Frantz was good for the extra point.
The entire traveling squad of thirty, saw action in the game.

What A Life The Cat Leads!
Cats! Cats! Did you ever see so many cats? Macampus is being invaded by these furry creatures, and by the looks of things, -they seem to be getting plenty of abuse from the student body.
It seems that a few of the "Fanny” boys sent one poor, little kitten out of the window of 4th floor Harnly. Of course, they tied a silk scarf around it to serve as a parachute. After that fate, the cat is still alive, however.
Did you ever try to count all those cats? If you did. it is found that no sooner have you completed a count, that another stray will come along that wasn’t included.
These creatures arc still living but its a wonder! Does anyone know-how they arc fed? Another question- How did they get here m the first place?
Before long. you can be sure that a biology class will be chasing one down to see what makes it tick Well, such is that fate of a cat on Macampus! Aren’t you glad that you’re not one of them?

Harris Teaches Library Procedure
Miss Virginia Harris, librarian, is teaching the freshman English classes one day each week.
All freshmen enrolled in Dr. Maurice A. Hess’s English classes are receiving instruction in the use of the library. Miss Harris is giving this work during the five times that she meets the freshmen.
The instruction in library usage includes the arrangement of the college library, the parts of a book, the use of the card catalog, the use of magazine indexes, and the use of reference books.
Chivalry Is Killed By Coke Machine
Chivalry is dead—killed by the machine age.
An unidentified student was observed putting the same dime over and over again in the coke machine in the basement of Anderson Hall on Kansas State College campus. This student gallantly stepped aside to allow two K-State coeds to get cokes.
As the last girl picked up her coke, the empty sign on the machine flashed.
Last seen, this "gallant" student was going off down the hall muttering to himself.

The Cracked Crystal Ball
By The Seer
Starting the third week of football predictions my season’s record stands at 32 right. 11 wrong and 5 ties for a percentage of .770. The unusual thing about last week’s games were the large number of games that ended in ties.
Oklahoma and Notre Dame, two teams that in pre-season polls had received strong consideration for national honors, were lucky to come out of their respective games with ties.
The AP poll for this week shows Michigan State retaining their ranking as the number one team of the nation. Close on their heels are Maryland and K. U. both with two victories under their belts.
One of the outstanding games for this week, from a sentimentalist's point of view is the game between Princeton and Rutgers. These two teams started it all about 100 years ago.
A game that could decide the Big Seven Conference title this weekend is being played at Lawrence. This is the game between C. U. and K. U.
As long as I am predicting various things. I might as well predict the World Series as I see it. The Yankees will win in six games The Dodgers on paper almost match the Yankees man for man except for the pitching staff where the Yankees have an advantage. The main difference, though, is the spirit that the Yankees get on "big” games. They just do not lose them.
Well, here goes on another set of football games and the prob-ble (?) winners of each.
T. C. U. over Arkansas Southern Cal over Army Wichita over Bradley California over Minnesota Kansas U. over Colorado U. Georgia Tech over S. M. U. Houston over Oklahoma A. Si M. Illinois over Wisconsin Indiana over Iowa U.
Nebraska over Iowa S.
Missouri over Kansas S.
Maryland over Clemson Michigan S. over Oregon State Stanford over Michigan U.
Navy over Cornell
Ohio State over Purdue Olahoma over Pittsburgh Oregon over Idaho Pennsylvania over Dartmouth Princeton over Rutgers Tennessee over Duke Texas over Notre Dame
U. C. L. A. over Wahington C. of E. over Bethany Ottawa over Bethel
Drake over Emporia State Teachers
Omaha over Washburn
A Freshman stood on the burning deck.
And as far as he could learn,
He stood in perfect safety.
For he was too green to bum.
