BULLDOGS 38, OTTAWA 26

All Five Of Regular Team Scores— Miller Goes Out On Personals

Ottawa; Kan., FeB. 14—The McPherson College Bulldogs uncorked a fine championship type of basketball late in the first half and defeated the Baptist qunitet 38 to 26, here tonight in a game which at the outset seemed in every way to belong to the local boys. In the first ten minutes Captain Kepner, the most dangerous scoring ace in the Kansas conference, flashed six shots from the center of the court, five of which went through the hoop for counters. In the meantime the Bulldogs, almost dazzled by the smooth work of their opponents were able to score but one point. Miller took time out with the score standing 10 to 1 against McPherson. Each team then scored two field goals, making the score 14 to 5 in Ottwa's favor. Five and one-half minuter remained in the first half when the Bulldog rally started. Miller, Nonken, Jamison, Deschner and Crumpacker all went through for baskets, scoring 16 points in the remaining time, eight points of which were scored in a period of one and one-half minutes. the half ended with the score favoring the visitors. 21 to 16.

Except for a few minutes in the second half, the Bulldogs held a safe lead on the Braves. Miller left the game on account of four personals with the score standing 33 to 25. Kepner left on a like offense one minute before the game was over.

M. C. ACES PLAY LAST

HOME GAME TONIGHT

Tues., Feb. 18—Nonken, Miller, and Crumpacker, veterans of the McPherson College basketball championship era, will enter the local court for the last time in competition with a Kansas conference team, at eight o'clock tonight when the Bulldogs play the St. Mary's Knights, a group of the most dangerous and the most feared cagers in the conference. Although the Bulldogs have defeated the Knights on their own home court there is no proof that the Catholics will not put up a real scrap for the honors tonight. Memories of the game with the Wildcats last week are still lurking in the minds of many of the Bulldog enthusiasts who expected an easy game. The lesson taught by Baker should bring a full house of spectators to witness what may turn out to be the best game played on the Convention Hall floor this year.

For many local fans tonight's game will be the last in which they can witness a combat between the Bulldogs and a conference opponent this year, Others plan to see the games at Lindsborg and Salina, February 26th and 28th respectively. Two more non-conference games may be scheduled for the local gymnasium, and if the championship is won, the Bulldogs may see some tournament play.

MRS. KIM SPEAKS iN

CHAPEL AND CLASSES

Wed., Feb. 12--Mrs. Induk P. Kim, a native Korean Christion, spoke in chapel and in classes this morning.

TO START WORK ON

ALUMNI MAGAZINE SOON

Thurs., Feb. 13--An Alumni Mag-azine will doon become a reality, ac-cording to plans made this evening at a meeting of an Alumni committee tee. The committee decided to put out a 16-page issue of the magazine sometime before commencement this spring, probably in April. Orville Pote, A. B , '23, who is principal of the high school at Halstead, Kansas, has been asked to take charge of or-ganization and act as temporary editor of the paper, while Dale Strick-ler of McPherson will act as busi-ness manager. They will be aided by the following Board of Editors: Eunice Almen, Leland Lindell, Miss Edith McGaffey, Prof. G N. Boone, and Dean^- R. E Mohler.

After the first issue plans will be made for permanent organization.

Twenty-two years of service added to five previous years as a city carrier is Henry’s record. An appreciation of the length of time may be gained by recalling this fact: The father of two of our students during the first semester took the examination at the same time for the job as carrier. The man was Earl Bowers. an alumnus of M. C. and whose sons John and Donald were here the first semester. At that time Mr. Bowers was not married.

Henry tells a little incident which may give someone else an idea. It starts out . . . Once upon a time a certain freshman girl was secretly married. In a short time her husband went to France as a soldier. Some weeks later a letter from the pension office at Washington, D. C . came to McPherson addressed to the girl but using her new name. Henry, it seems, was possessed of uncanny ability, and immediately guessed the secret. He took the letter io Matron and they asked her if it was her letter. She claimed it but asked them to keep it secret. They kept the secret until she graduated and announced It herself.

This is a sample of Henry's sympathetic attitude toward students. Matron says he is very good at remembering names of students and gives them help in every way possible, and some of the students know from experience that this is so.

Henry says the student body is as fine a bunch of folks as can be found anywhere. His son is coming here to school in the near future. He says he enjoys the contact with students which he has twice each day for a few minutes.

On numerous occasions he has found living mouse traps in the college mail box waiting to be sent places. One time the college boys called him out of bed In the middle of the night to liberate two unfortunate feline prowlers who had Inadvertently crawled into the box. As the keys were locked up in the post office, the kittens spent the night licking stamps.

Henry Is Interested in the college and in the basketball team. We might even call him a loyal Bulldog.

GIRLS MAKING PLANS

FOR BACKWARD PARTY

"In the spring a young man's fancy . . .

But, wait! There is a discrepancy! With apologies to that venerated poet laureate of England who made the young man at Lockflcy Hall live in the poem which contains the above quotation, the situation on the Mc-Pherson college campus is being re-versed.

Apparently the traditions of leap year have a fascination for the young ladies of Arnold Hall even out of sea-son. In order to outwit Father Time who is so slow in bringing about the next year of three hundred sixty-slx days, the members of the freshman-sophomore college ladies' Sunday school class are planning a Backward party at which the freshman-sophomore men will be the guests. And the party, according to the committee in charge, will be held in the college church parlors Friday evening. February 28.

If the plans for the social which have been so far revealed are carried out, the evening will be most interestingly backward. Contrary to custom, the young ladles will act as ex-corts to the young men, calling for them at their respective places of abode. However, as the number of guests is greater than the number of hostesses, every man is being urged to be present whether or not he has an escort. It would scarcely be considered discreet for the young ladies to pilot more than one of the opposite sex to the social.

Ada Brunk, Viola De Vilbis, and Tillie Heidebrecht, acting on the committee in charge of the function, plan that the entertainment as well as the serving of refreshments will take place in a backward fashion, how-ever, the committee failed to announce whether the guests were expected to leave before they came, or not.

It will be recalled that Miss Day was one of three -American teachers accused by the Turkish government of violation of the law regarding the teaching of religion. She was tried in a Turkish court, found guilty and sentenced to three days imprisonment within the school grounds, and fined one dollar and fifty cents. At the time of the Courban-Bairam Am-enesty proclamation last August by which the Turkish government pardoned four hundred prisoners Miss Day and her associates were pardoned with the others.

   THE DOPE BUCKET    

•    By the Sport Editor    *

One point every eleven seconds for a minute and ome-half, and then slowing up to one point every twenty seconds is the rate at which the Bull-dog rally was staged at Ottawa,Friday night. That is scoring three points a minute for five minutes while their opponents scored one point every two and one-half minutes.

At that rate their speed of scoring is not so bad. In consideration of the improvement that sholdl have taken place since the Baker game a week ago when the Bulldogs scored points at the rate of two points per minute while they held thelr oppon-ents scoreless, in the final quarter of

the game.

“Coach George Gardner has resigned as coach and director of athletics at McPherson College" is what the big newspapers were saying last week. We hate to lose Gardner, but since it cannot be helped, we must make the mind of it. At any rate it does seem fitting that his last year here should be a triumphant one. This year's football season was one of his most successful ones and basketball prospects are still good enough to make this year a peak in our athletic glory, unless the records of seasons 1928 and 1929 become "dead lions" to the players and their supporters.

If we take the championship this year it will be because our team is strong enough to "lick" any of the others. It will have less "off nights'' than the others. It will stick closer to training rules than others. It will fumbIe less and play smoother than the other teams. It will play the championship kind of basketball. It will have 100% support from the student body. We play the Swedes in the old Messiah building Feb. 26th.

BULLDOGS 26, BAKER 23

Baker Attempts To Stall Game But McPherson Soon Changed Their Minds

Tues., Feb. 11—With a sensation-al rally that completely baffled their opponents in the final moments of the aame, the McPherson College Bulldogs overcame a dangerous lead and defeated the Baker Wildcats 26 to 23. In their Kansas conference basketball game here tonight. The Bulldogs, not expecting a hard game from the Wildcats, started playing defensively and at a slow pace, while the Wildcats on the other hand start-ed an offensive drive that enabled them to finish the first half with a 13 to 6 lead. The mere handful of spectators, who had hoped to see a strong Bulldog team assert itself in the second half was bewildered when in the first five minutes of the period Baker took a 23 to 8 lead and start-ed on a stall game. Several substitu-tions by Gardner made short work of the Wildcat stall game and also started the Bulldog rally that ultimately brought them victory.

Playing began at a slow pace with the ball almost continually in the hands of the Baker quintet and it was two and one-half minutes before a basket was scored. Keohane was the first to tally. Then Wogan dropped one through. Miller attempted several of his favorite shots and finally was successful in sinking a pretty one. Koohane made his charity toss good and Miller did as well with his. Koehane got another field goal and Wogan made both his free throws good on Deschner's foul. Crumpacker was awarded a free throw which he made count. Poston made a wild drive in for a set-up which he scored as he was fouled. He made both free throws good. Deschner made a field goal and Bak-er was threatening the ring as the half ended with them in the lead 13 to 6.

In the first half minute Poston got through for a field goal. Miller retaliated after several rough attempts at his famous shots. Wogan dropped in another field goal. Poston repeated the act and was fouled. He made both chariy tosses count. King was sent in for Jamison with the score against the Bulldogs 21 to 8. His pur-pose was to stop Poston. Hill soon replaced Deschner and Baker became determined upon a stall game which they carried on with fair success. Wo-gan slipped in for a set-up, whereup-on Jamison and Deschner returned to the game. Time out was called and Captain Millar drew his teammates together. Soon after play was resum-ed Miller looped in a long one of his favorite kind. Crumpacker repeated with a nice side shot. In short order Deschner dropped in a nice one. Jamison tried a long shot and made it count. Posey tried and made another. These two shots drove the Bulldog supporters frantic and everyone was on his feet. The Baker coach and reserves became uneasy. Gardner had a nervous spell and Miller went wild and a one-handed shot brought the score to 23-20 in favor of the Wildcats, where they called time out with less than five minutes to play, the Bulldogs having scored ten points in the previous five minutes. Nouken was fouled in his attempted set-up. He made one free throw count. Miller got an “unconscious'’ shot and tied the score. With pandemonium in the gymnasium and the score tied Miller ordered a stall game, but he soon worked his way

in for another set-up. The Bulldogs were leading for the first time, 23 to 26 with less than two minuted to play. Crumpacker was fouled and his free throw counted. The game ended with the Bulldogs stalling the game after Baker had made several frantic but unsuccessful attempts to loop the ring.

Out of eight tries the Wildcats registered seven points from the free throw line, while the Bulldogs count-od four out of ten. Captain Miller was high point man with thirteen points of his own. The slump into which the Bulldogs had evidently fallen during the first half was completely over-come twelve minutes before the final period was up and the next few min-utes saw as strong a team playing as McPherson College has ever had.
