Olive Colyn opened the program by a short talk on the beauty of women gained by clothes, accessories, correct posture, and proper hairdress. Then Audrey Hammann gave a short talk on clothes for the college coed. Her talk was very interestingly "seen" by a large picture display of proper clothes for college girls.
She pointed out that before she can decide on the proper clothes for herself, she must first analyze her self before a large, full-length mirror. Then she can get clothes that will bring out the good and hide the less desireable points. Miss Hammaann gave some good advice for girls whose financial problem s large, and also on color, style, and cost of school clothes.
Dean's List Much More Exclusive
Numbers 22 Less Than Last Year; No Frosh Make All "B's" Or Better

Sanger, Fulkerson Star In Play
S. G. Hoover Acts Supporting Role In Frosh Production
An entire freshmen cast under the able direction of Mrs. Elmer Baldwin presented a one-act Thanksgiving play entitled "Stephen Becomes a Pulgrim", on Sunday evening at the College Chapel. A large audi-ence gathered to witness the splen-did initial performance of the young people.
The scene of the story is laid in the comfortable Dutch home of Jonathan and Marta Matthewrs in the year 1622. The theme revolves around the religious difficulties of English Separatists who have been residing temporarily in Holland af-ter their removal from England where they were not allowed to worship as they pleased. The part of Sephen Matthews, ably portrayed by Harold Fulkerson, traces the conflict in the heart of a promising young surgeon who feels his duty calling him to give up a secure future in Holland to go to the New World where in the midst of uncer-tainties and hardships he finds free-dom to serve god.
In addition to well-deserved praise to the director and members of the cast for an excellent Thanks-giving portrayal, special considera-tion goes to Vance Sanger in the part of Dr. Van Neer, who carried on his part in spite of the fact that he sustained a severe knee injury last week.
The members of the cast are as follows:
Jonathan Matthews, English born, a Dutch citizen, S. G. Hoover.
Marta Matthews, a plump, kind Dutch woman, his second wife, Le-nora Kanel.
Stephen Matthews, Jonathan's nephew, Harold Faulkerson.
Elder Mullins, Elder in the English church, Leslie Rogers.
Ann Mullian, his daughter, Ardys Metz.
William Sanderson, English Sep-eratist, J. Henry Dosenbrock.
Elizabeth Sanderson, his wife, Shirley Spohn.
Peter Small, English Separatist, Ned Zook.
Patience Small, his wife, Zona Preston.
Henry Radcliff, English gentle-
man, Lawrence Hawkins.
Betje Matthews, daughter of Jonathan and Marta, Miriam Roth-rock.
Doctor Van Neew, Famous professor and surgeon, Vance Sanger.

Peace Canvas Closes
Those on the campus who are in-terested in peace will be glad to know that the recent project to place in McPherson homes the suggestive statement formulated by our peace group was concluded Wednesday af-ternoon, Nov. 16.
Through the helpful cooperation of interested students, the canvas was accomplished in threw main drives on Saturday, Monday, and Wed-nesdau successively and the desired city organisation or movement seems probable. The reactions which some students reported were quite interesting: those who took part seemed to enjoy the work from a psychologies viewpoint as well as receiving the gratitude of the ones charged with the administration of the project.
W. A. A. plans Big Time For All Participants In Girl's Sports Program
Four schools have accepted the invitation extended them by the McPherson W. A. A. to take part in a round robin Volleyball Sports Day tournament here, on December 3. The schools planning to come are Southwestern, Bethel, Kansas Wes-leyan, and Sterling. Bethany has not replied as yet.
An Indian pow-wow theme has been decided upon. The teams will be divided up according to different colors and awards will be pre-sented to each girl on the winning team.
Registration will begin at 9: 00 A. M. and the tournament will start at 10: 00. A luncheon will be held at the Brethren Church for all the vis-iting girls and the local W. A. A. members who purchase tickets. Tickets will be 35c.

Dope crawls into the bucket when the Kansas Conference teams clash at the college stadium for the final contest of the season. The game will start at 2: 30 o'clock.
In recent years the rivalry be-tween these two teams has been bit-far, but it is at its highest pitch this year as both teams are more evenly-matched. The Canine gridsters also will seek to maintain a five-year record of no defeats by the Coy-otes.
Dogs in Good Shape
All members of the squad, from waterboy to the stars, have been spending two weeks of vigorous workouts in order to be in better condition to carry out the pleas which were made September 1. It will be considered a successful season should the Astle men again turn back the invaders and leap out of the conference cellar.
Last year the Bulldogs purposely upset the conference championship hopes of the over-confident Wesley-an gridsters with their best per-formance of the season in a 2-0 victory. Kansas Wesleyan has never considered McPherson strong enough to furnish any opposition, but they may be surprised this year.
Thus far in the season the Coyotes have been defeated by College of Emporia, Morningside, Ottawa, War-rensburg, Bethany. They knotted Rorkhurst in a scoreless tie and were victorious over Sterling and Baker.
Teams On Even Weight
Both teams will be an even terms as far as weight is concerned. The huskies imported to the Methodist
institution by Alexander Brown Mackie are fewer in number under the regime of Gene Johnson, who is rated as an excellent basketball coach. However, he knows how to "comb the sticks" for football material.
McPherson's "home talent" team will have no easy job against the visitors, who boast a five-man line passing attack. Bill Ruehlen, Wesley Annes, "pump priming" cheer leaders, excellent marching band (especially the easy-on-the-eyes twirlers), Bill Ruehlen, concrete stands, four professional (? ) boxers, Bill Ruehlen, Junior Shaw, Baer, Bates, and Bill Ruehlen.

Heart Throbs Talk Subjects
Bowman Says To Grab Mate In College Is Not Bad Idea
Dr. Warren D. Bowman of Washington, D. C. who was the guest speaker on the campus for Religious Emphasis Week, proved most popular in his afternoon discussions on personal relations.
The four afternoon meetings were conducted in the form of a series. The topics of the meetings in order were: ''Friendship, " "Courtship",
"Engagement", and "Marriage". After a discussion of the subject for each talk, Dr. Bowman gave his audience an opportunity to ask questions.
College Friendships Lasting
"College friendships", said Dr. Bowman in his first talk, "are some of the most lasting and worthwhile attachments a young person can make. In college one is given the opportunity of selecting the kind of friends he wants for companions throughout life. "
Dr. Bowman, who is pastor of the Washington, D. C. church of the Brethren, started his discussion of courtship by saying that college con-tacts gave one an excellent opportunity for selecting a mate, for during the college days students can see how others conduct themselves in a crowd; whether they are agreeable and likeable and have interests to one's own interests. Engagement Period Discussed
"The length of the engagement and the ages of the individuals in-volved are matters largely to be determined by the members themselves. However scientific research has discovered that the engagement period should be not shorter than three months nor longer than three years. Preferable ages for girls to marry are from 22 to 26 years and for boys from 25 to 30 years. "
Sharing Of Interests Essential
The last of Dr. Bowman's talks dealt with the problem of securing and maintaining a happy home. An important item was suggested as the mental sharing of interests, person-al attractiveness, courtesy after marriage and a genuine religious atmos-phere are all factors leading towards a happy home life.
Personal conferences following these discussions afforded many with valuable information and suggestions. The afternoon meetings were all conducted under the sponsorship of the S. C. M.

Hidden Power Lies Within Every Person
Bowman Tells Of Potentialities
That Comes Out In Crisis
A beautiful call to worship by the chapel choir opened the Wednesday chapel service. Following devotions by Dr. V. F. Schwalm, the choir sang a special number.
Dr. Warren Bowman spoke on "Can any-good thing come out of Nazareth? " As the people in the obscure little town failed to see good in Jesus, the Savior of men, so we today fail to see the hidden possibilities in people about us as well as in ourselves.
"God works through children, youth, and adults. We have no idea of the hidden power that lies within us which will manifest itself at the appropriate time. We could rise to higher levels of learning, but we tend to stop on a plateau. To break up old habits of learning we need confidence in ourselves, which can be developed by a series of successful achievements.
One ought to be interested in the hidden splendor lying within himself. Youth lives up to what one says of it. Individuals fail because some-one failed to unearth that hidden splendor in them. We need people who can see the finest in others. Jes-us had the power to bring out the best in people with whom he came in contact. The hidden splendor comes out when one is tied up with a great cause, because it demands his highest energies and qualities.
Miss Miriam Smith, head of the English department last year, gave the Library $25 to purchase books for the English section.
As an outcome of this gift, the library has received the following books: "The Home Book of Verse". In two volumes. "The Home Book of Modern Verse", and "The Home Book Of Verse for Young Folks", all edited by Burton Stevenson, and single volumes of poetry by Carl Sandburg, Hubert Frost, and Edna St. Vincent Millay.
The library stuff is inaugurating the practice of publishing a mimeo-graphed list of new books for the convenience of students and teachers. A copy of this list will be posted on the Sharp Hall bulletin board, and a copy will be given to each member of the faculty.
McPhersonites Clamor For Concert Tickets
As eagerly as kindergarteners line
up before a drinking fountain, so eagerly did all McPhersonites or ticket bearers of those not present, line up before Bixby-Lindsay Drug store in an effort to reserve one or two of the one hundred seats available for McPherson concert members at the Newton Concert Friday. November 11, at the city auditorium.
Although a line of approximately fifty people were waiting long before nine o'clock, the first fifteen people usurped all the cards available. It comes from a reliable source that a certain Macampusan can account for nearly twenty of the rapidly disappearing entry permits.
The concert given by James Melton, famed radio and screen singer, was greatly enjoyed—by those who got to hear it— and especially by those who went with the understanding that they should have to stand during the entire performance. The artist gave a beautiful interpretation along with a finished quality of tone throughout his program, and everyone attending expressed regret that it was Impossible for all the concert members to attend.
Jesus Took Little But Left Us Much
Bowman Speaks Four Nights To Large Crowds About Personal Religion
Dr. Bowman took as his subject Monday night. "The Great Price". As a basis for his talk, he chose the story of the pearl of great price where the man sold all his posses-sions to buy one field that had the-treasure.
This parable, he said, teaches us 3 things: one must seek and seek in the right place if he will find. There is glory in taking the initiative Dr. Bowman said, "I am not so much interested in my ancestry as I am in the kind of ancestor I become. "
In the second place this man was willing to give up all he had "for this treasure. We too must give up everything for the best. In the third place he pointed out that because he gave up all that he had, he gained a great profit. Those who give up the most shall gain the most. " "If you would be great, you must render great service. "
He pointed out that Jesus was regarded as one of the greatest men in the world because he didn't take much from this world but left a great deal. If you would achieve the top you must render service at the bottom.
Paul’s Misdirected Energy
On Tuesday evening Dr. Bowman chose as a text the story of Paul’s conversion experience. The story of how after he had surrendered, he said, "Lord what will you have me do? " He said here then Paul was a picture of misdirected energy. He had intellectual training but was using it in the wrong cause.
Education does not make men good. "We have trained the intellect and have left the emotional training to Hollywood, " he said. Most boys in the reformatories are casualties of the church, home, and school.
He pointed out that Paul's conscience way bothering him. "It was hard for him to kick against the pricks; He remembered some of his past deeds in slaughtering the Christians. "If Stephen had not prayed, Paul would not have preached. " Kagawa and Grenfell had similar experiences when they left good homes to serve the common people. After that experience, Paul gave everything for Christ. Religion is a field of heroism.
The results of this experience of Paul were his writings—some of the greatest in Christian theology, churches sprang up. "Earth and heaven are hotter because Paul lived. "
"No Room. For Christ"
The subject of Dr. Bowman's address Wednesday night was "No Room For Christ. " He drew striking contrasts between young people who have room for Christ and those who don't; between homes, business and corporations. He said "Only personality is sacred. All things should be subordinated for the sake of personality. " Between universities and col-leges where they turn out people prepared only for business and colleges where the best are prepared for the humanitarian professions: between, clinches that are open for show and those that are open for the sake of Christ; between a world that is in-fested with wars and greed and mil-ions spent for armaments of war and a world some where in the future that will bow before the Christ, in that world there will be room for Christ: there will be peace. Money will be spent for schools, homes in-stead of ships and planes, "All this can happen", he said. "When people find room for Christ. "
Be Religiously Prepared
In his last address, Dr, Bowman stressed the importance of bring religiously prepared. He chose as a basis the parable of the ten virgins. He said. "Little obligations make and build character. Destiny's doors often swing on small hinges. "
"We have just as much religion as we can command in the time of trouble. The critical hour never makes or breaks anyone but merely reveals strength and reserve or the lack of reserve. "

Home And Prayer Subjects For Bowman
Opens R. E. Week With Two Addresses At College Church
In a challenging opening address for Religious Emphasis Week at the McPherson Church of the Brethren Sunday morning, Dr. Warren D. Bowman, pastor of the First Church of the Brethren in Washington. D. C., took as his theme "The Christian Home".
Definitely stating that "the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world", Dr Bowman directed the attention of young people and parents alike to the possibilities which be in the Christian home.
In his Sunday evening sermon, Dr. Bowman presented an inspirational thought-provoking message on "Pe-titionary Pratyer". Is petitionary prayer justifiable? Is prayer asking God to set aside natural laws? What is the value of intercessory prayer?
By his powerful appeals to deep thinking and by his definite examples, Dr. Bowman's sermon pointed out the significance of prayer in Christian life.

Impressive Program On Armistice Day
Bright, Flory Tell Of Yesterday, Today, Prospects For Tomorrow
On Friday, November 11, the Stu-dent Council presented the Armistice Day Chapel Program. Avis Smith, Joe Smith, and Lyllis Frantz played a piano trio arrangement of "The Stars and Stripes Forever, " after which Dr. Bright gave a short talk on the events leading up to the World war.
After the dialogue poem. "The Metal Checks", was given by Vera Heckman, Winton Sheffer, and Dwight Horner. Dr. Claude Flory spoke on the subject "Today" or "Unsafe for Democracy. "
"The greatest power of Europe is Germany, and it is no longer a country of German people but a country of one man, Adolph Hitler. "
Dr. Flory believes that all arma-ment factories should be owned nationally, not by one person. It would not solve the war problem, but make it safer.
Dr. Flory spoke from personal experience when he said that the Italian army was more colorful in parad than vicious in war.
Dr. Flory remarked, "The present situation arose because England was beaten to a draw by Germany. However, I believe that England is building armaments with utmost speed and is keeping it secret. She will be heard from yet. "
His concluding remarks were. "We know what yesterday was, and what today is, but tomorrow re-mains a question. The only way the present situation can be cleared is to have mutual agreements aiming the countries based upon the princi-ples of peace. "
Mellon Impressive In Concert
James Melton, American tenor, presented by the Cooperative Concert Association, gave his enthusias-tic audience a most brilliant per-formance Friday evening, Novem-ber 11, at Newton, Kansas.
A large group of M. C. students were privileged to hear the "Voice with the Smile that Wins" and see Mr. Melton. A most pleasing stage personality is one of the greatest assets attributing to Mr. Melton's success. Graciously responding to the applause of his eager audience, James Melton sung eight encores in addition to his regular program.
Boy-Girl Stuff Attracts Many To SCM Meets
Bowman Uses Question-Answer Method To Draw Out Student Problems
During the regular S. C. M. periods on November 15 and 17. Dr. Bowman continued his discussions of boy and girl relations during college days and throughout life.
On Tuesday Dr. Bowman, using a question - and - answer method, brought out many helpful hints for college happiness. He suggested that, in order to prevent dates and studies from conflicting, every stu-dent should budget his time. He should plan not only for lessons, but also for social life.
On the matter of dating in college, Dr. Bowman suggested that it be a period of selecting a mate by a comparison of a number of indi-viduals. Only in this method of 'shopping around' can one make the best possible choice.
Petting on dates is harmful been a girl is cheapened by it.
On Tuesday Dr. Bowman discuss-ed the problems of courtship. Stu-dents who are different from the group are generally the most popular. Yet there is a danger that in one’s attempt to be 'different' one may go against social standards. To be different in the right direction is a great secret.
In preparing for marriage, Dr. Bowman urged careful thought with an eye not to "what kind of ancer-tors one had" but to "what kind of ancestors one will make."
Establishing a Christian home guarantees seven to eight times the chances of success than otherwise. If each male will be prepared to go seventy-five per cent of the way, greater understanding will be brought about.
Unselfish spirit, and a genuine religion in the home as well as in other phases of life are two of Dr. Bowman's philosophies.
If you read the Spectator, you should patronize its advertizers. They are boosters of McPherson College and the students need to boost McPherson.

"Stunt Night Really Was Fun, " Say Gay Group Who Attended Gala Event
Former C. O. Reveals Experiences With Consciences During War
Amazingly free from any trace of bitterness, Maurice A. Hess in a speech at the Sunday Night Club of the College Church last Sunday spoke on the subject, "The Individualizing of Conscience, " and used his own expirences and the experiences of other conscientious objectors during the war to illustrate his talk.
In a matter-of-fact tone of voice he related the difficulties of being a C. O. during a time of world up-heaval.
"Conscience" is a matter of individuality, " said Professor Hess. "Each Individual must make his own stand and maintain it as an individual. A general group program may be feasible, but all action must of nec-essity be individualistic.
Conspiciously absent from his talk, which carried built-by-years convic-tion, was any reference to his own personal physical suffering during the war. Absent also was all but a hint of the atrocious punishment directed at C. O. 's
Professor Hess with special em-phasis repeated the words of an officer who said, "There is no non-combatant service in the army. " Approaching the subject from an objective viewpoint, McPherson College's debate coach cited innumer-able examples of specific individual reaction to the problems.
Hess warned that with the con-science there must not be any com-promise. He showed the danger of making general statements of action apply to individual cases until the circumstances are known.
Although saying that religion need not necessarily have any thing to do with objection to participation in a military program, and expanding this statement, Hess said that a trust In God and a faith in divine guidance was an unfathomable source of strength.
Professor Hess' conviction defied inattention as he closed, "During all the days of bread and water, and all the hours of terrible idleness, I learned that God does rule over men and that divine guidance is signifi-cance. "

Along with the debate tournament was held an after-dinner speaking contest in the college Dining Hall. Dorothy Steinbeck of Hutchinson Junior College ranked first and was followed by Lois Dunbar of Bresee. Thayne Sanford of Bresee and Robert Rice of McPherson tied for third Place.
The prize saying of the contest was
one given by the winner. "A speech should be like a girl's skirt, broad enough to cover the subject and short enough to be interesting. "
It is to be noted that last year Hutchinson won the triangular debate then held at Bresee, with the same number of victories. McPherson and Bresee also tied for second place last year with three wins each.
Time marches on and another mark of history has been made in good old Kline, Saturday night from 8 until 10: 30 Kline hall held it's first open house.
It was fun while it lasted and it was worth it too, even though Kline-ites were roused out bed several hours before the usual Saturday morning rising and forced to retire later, not forgetting the aching joints and flustered moments.
Verda Grove did a nice job paint-ing a permanent chart of our names. Now Kline is just like Arnold and Fahnestock. Why did Avis Smith have to leave out honor point system, with all those black marks, on the bulletin board? Maybe Avis was proud of her one little mark.
Everyone thought fixing the light on the front of Kline was a clever idea?
One visitor was a little early and very unexpected—slightly unwel-come too. Minnie the mouse came to inspect the kitchen. All Kline members proceeded to capture the poor mouse. Miriam Kimmel and that Slead gas got the prize for bravery, also for doing a messy job of
Home Too Far Away For Some
When Thanksgiving Day
near, plans for a "swell" vacation are in full swing.
Home is too far away for Virginia Kerlin and Ardys Mets, so they plan to have a happy time at Gladys Wig-gin's home in Geneseo.
Most students will be going home to see their friends and parents, but the parents of Elizabeth and Margaret Wagoner are planning to come to McPherson to see them.
Probably many alumni and par-ents of students will be seen on the campus Thanksgiving Day because of the Wesleyan-McPherson game. And most of the students will wait until after the big game to return to their home town.
Home town means their high school friends, fun, but ten to one M. C. campus will look plenty good to them when they come wandering back.
As the wind whistled down from the north Friday morning, November 18, five cars filled with McPherson College students and faculty members set out for Winfield, Kansas, to visit the State Training School. With Miss Harkey and her mother were driver Elmer Baldwin and his good wife Fern. Carrie Alice Hanson, and Elizabeth Rothrock. The Smucker car was brightened by the presence of Wilbur Stern, Lawrence Stephenson, Bob Richard-son, the great Barley, and of course. "Smuck" and Verda. The Art Baldwins and the Groffs, together with Edna Kesler and Emerson Yoder, filled the car from California. Eugene Eisenbise, with Professor Mohler along to keep up his spirits, took Stover, Rosalia Fields, and the Flory twins. Mr. and Mrs. Troyer had as their passengers Hubert Shelley, Horner and Leonard Vaughn.
Arriving at Winfield a little while before dinner time, the group spent some time on the campus of Southwestern college, looking over the various buildings and counting the numerous steps that are strung all over the campus. Then after consuming countless hamburgers and other sundry articles of food, the parly motored to the Training School, perched on top of a high hill north of town. There a guide awaited the group, and before she began the tour she gave something of the organisation of the School.
There are at the present time 1240 patients, 030 girls and 610 boys. A dairy herd of 85 cows sup-plies the milk and milk products for the institution. A bakery turns out 1000 loaves of bread every day, and 450 pies every Wednesday. Cookies are baked in 200 dozen lots, and for the Hallowe'en party 2100 dough-outs were made. To give an idea of the amount of laundry required by the institution, the guide said that several years ago when the laundry building had burned down and the laundry had to be done in killing Minnie. Kate Dobbins and Rowena Wampler were the champion tablestanders and the rest made a good squealing audience.
Miss Atkinson, with her gracious smile, welcomed the guests and di-rected them to the various rooms. Refreshments of ten sandwiches, mints, and orange and lemon slices were served.
Many guests, after visiting the basement apartments for married couples, remarked how home-like and nice they were.
Boys, how did you like the kitch-end? Several of the kitchens were given names for open house such as "The Hashanon", "Kline Kitchen-ette, " etc.
Mr. A. Baldwin was at work with his camera. All right, Baldwin, but
how would you like to have some one sneak in your room and take your picture?
Dohn Miller spent the evening playing Goldie Locks. He tried the beds to see how soft they were. It's a wonder he didn't hurt himself on the hard beds.
Some bright fellow left Helen Cole a wee bit of cheese. You guess what kind it was.
From Gene Owen To Shrimp Meyers
Two freshman fellows were walk-ing down the hall together: the one Gene Owen, and the other, Harold (Shrimp) Myers. What a contrast! Will Shrimp ever grow up? There are some short girls too, Shrimp, so don't despair.
Rilla Hubbard and Melba Burger will join you in the dwarf class.
There are a lot of tall, dark or blond, and handsome six-footers around on the M. C. campus that make hearts skip a beat or several. "Tony" Meyer, "Squeaky" Meyers, Jack Vetter, and "Tony" Voshell. (Don’t they look powerful, though? )
We have some tall, dark and beau-tiful girls too. Take a look at our queen, Sally Jane Olwin, and her tall attendant, Virginia Kerlin. Whether they be tall or short, M. C. has them handsome and beautiful.
Winfield, the bill amounted to $100 a day. The school has 421 acres of its own and leases 360 more. In the dining room 850 patients are served three times a day. In the wards others who are incapable of feeding themselves are fed by the high-er-grade "children. "'
The guide explained that all the patients are designated as children because none of them are more than twelve years old mentally. The children are grouped somewhat according to mental age, and those who are able to do so go to school for three hours every day, the girls at one time and the boys at another. There are classes ranging upward as high as the seventh reader, but there are few of the children who are capable of doing arithmetic at the seventh grade level. The higher grade girls do fancy work and sewing for the school. The money which they receive from the sale of the fancy needlework is their own to spend as they please on the rare occasions when they are privileged to go into town.
The buildings are designated by letters instead of by names, and each building is divided into wards with a supervisor on each floor. There are a good many patients who are bedfast. There are others who help to do a good bit of the work. In fact, there are only ninety-four employees at the school; the remainder of the work is done by the children who can help.
On days when it is possible the children are let outdoors to play. They have no playground equipment; they play ball if they are able; otherwise they play around much as a small child would, lacking the muscular coordination to engage in any form of play which demands precise movements.
Finally, after a song and dance put on by Hippo, one of the boys, and after Horner hal been thor-oughly squelched by this same Hippo, the party turned toward McPherson, thankful for sound minds and strong bodies.
King Pin Tourney Well Under Way
Those who have been in the gym-nasium have noticed and wondered about a certain board in there that has hooks and names on it. This is a King Pin Board used by Miss Warner's badminton class for a King Pin Tournament which is now in progress.
This tournament in one of the
challenge or self-running types of competition. Entrance for this is
as far any other type of a tournament. each player draws for a place and the first one is hung at the top in the King Pin position. The others are placed on the rows below according to the drawing. A player on a bottom row challenges a player on the row above him by linking their names together with a rubber band. If the person below wins they change places. The object is to reach and maintain the King Pin position by a certain specified time. Bob Rice now holds the King Pin position
Cars Subject To Severe Scrutiny
"Red, yellow, green, and blue,
Take your pick.
And there's still a few. " A few of what? Why different color cars, of course. Has anybody taken the time to stop and take a good look at the machines parked in the college drive? If not, try it sometime.
After a little concentration one can, perhaps, understand why Roland Juhnke drives that pretty red pick-up truck to school. It has a tot of room to place the strays that he picks up and down Euclid street.
The little tan Whippet that gal-lops in from northeast of town each day belongs to Geneva Schlehuber.
Many of the students have wondered what the letters G. B. stand for that are on Mr. Flory's car. This is just a wild guess, but it probably means "Great Britain. "
Don McCoy has an individual way of sneaking out of the campus without being seen by any of the professors. All he has to do is start big
motor and immediately a smoke screen is laid. In case somebody doesn't know Don's car it is the green gray, red, yellow, and black car without a top and a few other things.
Take the time someday to give the cars a once over and see what can be seem. It's fun, try it.
"Hey, let me out of here, I think something is after me!" That was the description of the expression on Micky Morrison's face when she looked through the microscope and saw a squirmy looking creature glide across the slide.
What fun can be had in a laboratory! It doesn't matter which it may be, biology, chemistry, design, or art.
Such acts as putting a wrong color of paint in the wrong spot, turning the gas on too much, or finding queer looking animals on a small piece of glass can be plenty funny at times.
Several weeks ago a blood curdling scream was board in the chemistry laboratory. It was nobody but Anna Jean Curran who was suddenly surprised when a flame of fire leapt out of the gas jet. -
And so, all in all, a good time is had at all times in the "labs". It's a treat to watch the "goings-on". Drop in sometime.
A large group came to "Stunt Night" last Saturday night in the student Union Room and really bad fun. Various organisations present-ted a stunt for their group.
Rowena Wampler was in charge of the success and announced. First came Hoerner Hall's "Bachelors Dream". Then "Grandma and Grandpa at the Railroad Station" was presented by the Chemistry Club. We wonder what Grandma and Grandpa would do if they had to cross the Rock Island tracks when a train, goes by every two or three hours.
Congratualaitons Donna Jean Johnson and Evelyn Amos! We didn't think you'd get through that announcing but you sure did. "Twa, twa twa twa twatwa" is the summary of Arnold Hall's stunt.
The Thespian Club made a hit with their modern version of a com-bination of Shakespeare's work.
With the marriage of Miss Vic
Queen Is Stalely As She Is Crowned
Sarah Jane Olwin Tosses Ball To Captain McGill To Start Builder Smother
Another Homecoming is in the past, but for one girl, especially, it will never be forgotten. She is Homecoming Queen, Sarah Jane Olwin or "Sally" as she is known to her many friends.
At 2:30 o'clock Armistice afternoon, "Sally" was crowned Homecoming Queen of McPherson College. And what a crown! White and red carnations!
By the way, that little hall of white fur that followed the Queen was little Mary Ann Pinkie. And. of course, every body knows that behind her were the attendants, Virginia Kerlin and Elma Minnick.
It isn't very often that a girl gets to handle a football before the Bulldogs get their hands and feet on it, but sally did. Captain McGill proudly held up his hands to catch the ball that had been touched by the fingers of the queen.
And so the game started with a bang and banged all the way through. Perhaps "Sally's" cherry smile that greeted each one as they came out of the game encouraged them to "got in there and right for old M. C."
tory to the Bulldogs we should be sure of a victory over the "Coyotes". Will that marriage be a success?
The W. A. A. really cut someone to places or rather, Dick Burger did. The victim must have been a Bulldog, else why was he so hard to knock off?
Do you remember the cute little "Dancing Dwarfs"?
Did "The Sissies of Fahnestock Hole" live up to their name? Who made up the words of the song? It was very suited to them. Did you see John Detrick so daintily throw the football? Each one played his part very well. And "The Sugar Blues" was done well without a horn by "Ace" Ikenberry.
That "One Man Act" by Herbert Michael got everyone puzzled. Tony Voshell still wonders how Dick Burger got out of the sack even after Tony tied it shut. In fact, everyone else is still wondering too.
Sponsor Duo-Piano Recital
Last Monday afternoon, November 14, at two O'clock, The McPherson Woman's Club sponsored a duo-piano recital in the college chapel. The recital featured Miss Joyce Vetter and Miss Alice Russel, who are both seniors at Kansas University and members of the music sorority, Mu Phi Epitsom. Miss Vetter is a former student of Miss Jessie Brown.
McPherson College music students were special guests at the recital.
With only one game to play this year it is natural to look back over the past season. In September the players were counting the days until the first game, full of hope and enthusiasm. Today they are looking forward to the final battle of the season, still with hope and enthusiasm.
Many sore muscles and strained bodies are the result of a strenuous, erratic season, which will be considered a success with a victory over Kansas Wesleyan. When the closing whistle is blown and the football player hangs up his harness for another year, he cannot forget that it was worthwhile and not in vain. Then he will recall various mistakes that should have been corrected.
Bob Wiegand, veteran center, will play his last game tomorrow. It will be an outstanding event which he will remember for many years. As a former Bulldog, he will look back over his college football career and recollect that Thanksgiving Day game in 1938 against Kansas Wesleyan.
Come on gang, let’s win this one for Bob! —R. G.
spicable thing—thinkable and unthinkable was undoubtedly true?
Hans Schmidt is being "taken in" today, even as John Smith was "taken in" 21 years ago. The Germans have been told lies about the Jews: How the Jews stabbed the valiant and victorious German army in the back, and therefore lost the war; how the Jews caused the depression and the inflation, and profited thereat at the expense of the "pure" Germans; how the Jews ruled Germany through democracy, Communism, and big business; and how the Jews are a race closer related to the apes than to Aryans.... "
Condemn the anti-Semitism in Germany? By all means, yes! Let us condemn, and vow we won't be "taken in" again.

Ramblin's—
By Ty Pryter
New Lights—
from
The Lamps—
Miles Standish, Priscilla, and John Alden, along with other pilgrim forefathers, paused at the close of a busy fall harvest to thank the Great Spirit for all the benefits and opportunities which had come to them even during time of great distress.
They gave thanks to God been use they realized that the abundant harvest was a result of their own labor—only in part.
Today, students of McPherson College will give thanks only if they realize that their accomplishments, immature or complete, are the results of their efforts—only in part.
The cynic may feel that all credit is duo him if he has brought honor to his name; has he forgotten that his college was founded, endowed, and enriched by the lives of the Great Spirit’s workers in whose hearts was a desire to build for future generations?
"As ye have received so should ye give, " are the words of One who would today challenge Christian students to lift sincere thanks to a power greater than themselves not by mumbling idle words before the loaded table but through charitable actions sown to build a better community for the not too distant posterity.
Schools in Ohio art being closed for lack of funds. Our educational system has always been the brunt of economy measures. This in spite of the fact that it is our best protection against crime and discontent. It is democracy's best insurance policy. It saves the country billions of dollars a year.
We spend billions of dollars for national defense, but neglect our internal bulwark against the real enemies of our country. School teachers are the victims of political intrigue and are poorly paid.
We do not have to look to Ohio for deplorable conditions, for even here in McPherson county politics has reared its ugly head and unseated a county superintendent who undoubtedly was the best ever to hold the office in this county. The old line Republican pull in this county unfortunately caused J. A. Blair to lose his job to an opponent of far fewer qualifications.
What polities has to do with education is what we want to know. Offices of public instruction should be filled by the merit system.
Which reminds us that part of the reorganization bill was a provision for a department of education in the President's cabinet. This could remedy many of the existing evils.
Nov, 7. We got home today from Indiana in time to hear about the big political rally to be held tonight. We suppose political bosses Saa-thoff and Stucky will be there, but we are going to use our time to a better advantage: we will go to bed and catch up on a good many hours of lost sleep. And so to bed....
Nov. 8. For the first time in our life exercised our right of franchise. We heeded neither the wise advice of Saathoff nor the judicious admonitions of Bill Thompson: we followed the dictates of our own conscience and voted a split ticket. We voted for the men we wanted whether they were Democrats or Re-publicans or whatever; when we were in doubt or when we didn't know the candidates we voted Re-publican. As a delightful closing in election day we spent the evening in the recreation room of Dr. Heaston's home. We decided that when we grow older we would like to be like Dr. Heaston.
Nov. 9, It's all over now, and some are happy and some are caplaining how it happened, in the words of Prof. Mohler. Some weep and some rejoice. At any rate, we have a new group of folk to blame for the "mess the country is in". According to our chapel speaker, we should give now or we will never give. In either words, what we will eventually be, we are now fast becoming. It causes us to take a little serious thought. Maybe we bet-ter start right now to be what we want to be twenty years from now.
Nov. 10. The pep chapel today was one of the best ones we have had for a long time. We wonder why Dave didn't break a bottle of champagne over Scrappy's nose. We had understood that that was the proper christening ceremony. Although we didn’t have a chance to participate in the election of the Queen, we think that a better choice could not have been found. Queen Sally is really and truly a Queen.
Friends think of his hirsute adorn-ation. His whickers are even better than the ones that the play production class made in class today. Dr. Bowman tells us that he will speak on Friendship, Courtship, Engage-ment, and Marriage this week. Seems like a big order for four days, but if he is as good as they say he is, the speeches should be worthwhile.
Nov, 15, Dr. Bowman tells us to shop around awhile. We guess that is what Barley is doing. Shopping may be fun, but a fellow wants to be careful lest be become like a woman—always shopping and never setting down to a single choice. The grass may be greener on the other side of the fence but if a fellow spends all his time climbing over fences he will never have time to eat any grass. Mohler tells how he and another man were endmates in a class: Mohler was at one end and the other man at the other end. We trust that our Prof. was at the top end.
Nov. 16. Dr. Bowman told us ac-cording to statistics only 10 out of 1000 students in a certain college would succeed. We wonder what per cent of the class of '39 is destined to land either in the poor-farm or on the P. W. A. It might
behoove us to put on a bit of pres-sure in order to forestall any pos-ibility of our being numbered with this unfortunate group, because who wants to spend his life leaning on a shovel handle?
Nov. 17. Lots of things happened today, but we weren’t around when they happened so we can't write about them, which may be just as well.
Nov. 18. The genetics class spent the day at the State Training School at Winfield. It was very interest-ing but as we prepared to leave, we couldn't quite decide whether we should come- home or let one of the "children" come home in out stead. We were kidnapping one of the "boys", when he tapped us on the cheek with the words, "I'm not dumb! " We still can't quite figure out who got the best of that bit of chatter. We rather think he did.
Sometimes we get to drifting along feeling Insignificant and Life becomes meaningless. But when Dr. Bowman came along and told us that we should begin training our children 50 years before they are born—or, in other words, we should begin now to train our grandchildren—well,
we feel that we are really quite sig-nificant after all.
Dr. Hershey evidently thinks there is a great store of knowledge in his first year chemistry class. Once he asked Jim Lambert what made the sky blue. And the other day he said that all of us (even the freshmen! ) knew more about chem-istry than did Lavoiser who, as you know, is called the father of chemistry.
If we could somehow assemble a year's chapel speakers the individu-als present would certainly be a conglomeration of diverse interests and natures. Preachers, politicians, boy scouts, college presidents, musi-cians, social welfare workers, and whistlers all appear before us.
Dr. Bowman has certainly left us plenty to think about—and to do.
There's something effective about the word "belching" when used in connections with guns and smoke.
Who has a more pleasant facial expression that Edith Nickey? And that cute wink of hers.
Most girls consider open house the opportune time to display a col-lection of pictures of good looking men but not so with Rowena Wampler. She selfishly kept indi-ana’s handsome gift to the ladies in her dresser drawer. No doubt this accounted for her having been so eager to go to Manchester.
Say, who writes this Jerry Kerry column anyway? Read in "Ram-blin's" last time. "We thank Jerry Kerry for attempting to keep HER column simple enough for as to read. " In "New Lights from the Lamps" is this line, "And another thing —this to MR. Jerry Karry—" Won't you get together on this thing and try to be a little more consist-ent? This double life is killing me.
Glad to see "The Lamps" burning again. Although must agree that dim lights are sometimes more desire-able.
Change in style draws no criti-cism from this quarter. We com-mend The Spectator staff for its foresight and progressiveness.
Have you all seen the handwriting on the wall? Professor Fries is constantly reminding us of our dis-tressin impecnium.
More Student Thoughts:
Grades, what to tell the folks, going to study harder, fewer dates, Thanksgiving Game, Clever Coeds:
Elma Minning, Ardys Metz, Virginia Kerlin, Shirley Spohn.
In Conclusion;
Enjoyed Dr. Bowman's discus-sions, the questions, and particu-larly his answers. The influence of his dynamic and inspiring personal-ity will long be felt on the campus.
G-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r-r! Beat Kansas Wesleyan!

While condemning the anti-Jewish riots in Germany, let us not forget that 20 years ago the United Slates was the scene of similar riots against Germans—or thought-to-be-Germans— living in this country.
Germans and pacifists were dismissed from their jobs; uni-versities expelled professors and students suspected of proGerman tendencies; the espionage act was invoked against anyone who attempted to oppose the war; and the study of German literature and language in schools was prohibited by legislation. Anything German made the American people see red; and anyone thought to be pro-German was-liable to be tarred-and-feathered—if he wasn't arrested first.
For weren't the Germans the barbarians of the western world? Weren’t they the Huns who had invaded innocent little Belgium and who had cut off the hands of every Belgian child? (Well, every Belgian child anyone heard about. ) Weren't they the uncultured people about which every de-
Nov 11. No school this afternoon and a ball game! A perfect day. Of course we missed only one class because of this half-holiday, but it's the principle of the thing that we appreciate. We wondered at the inconsistency of having an American Legion demonstration on the campus of a pacifist college. Anyway we thank them for the flag-pole. We feel sorry for Southwest-ern because they were defeated, but we had rather feel sorry far them than have then feeling sorry for us. Scrappy and our new queen must have brought us luck. If we don't count the fact that Funk seemed to have been unlucky instead of lucky.
Nov. 12. Well, here it is Saturday again, and time to scrape the barnacles off of the chairs and stuff. We don't quite understand how the igloo gets so dirty, but every Saturday or so we have to clean it out. Tonight we get to go over to Kline to see how the fair maidens there keep house. We had rather see it when they have had no warning that visitors are coming... (denotes passage of time)... we rather think Kline Hall would be a nice place to live, that is if we were a member of the opposite sex. Kenneth and Don seemed to be quite at home in certain rooms on third. Tally Ha was no stranger, either. Maybe he was just checking up a bit...
Nov, 19. Whew! Grades out! Maybe we had better study more and ramble less. We hope the folks at home are in a good humor when they receive those marks. Oh, well, we ran take the usual college atti-tude settle down until the fif-teenth week, then feverishly start to cram. If we had gotten our marks before we went to Winfield perhaps we would have decided that Win-field was the best place for us after all. But we will go to Stunt Night and forget the books for a while ... We can’t quite decide who deserves the prize for the best stunt. Perhaps for a mystifying act Michael deserves recognition. We know there was some trick about that bag stunt, but we can't quite figure it out. If we can get the Wesleyan game into the bag as thoroughly as Dick was in that one, we will be satisfied to let Herby keep his secret. To all of you who will be draping yourselves around turkey a few days hence, we wish you luck, and baking soda works pretty well when yon eat too much.

Entering the wood-work shop in Fahnestock, one passes a display cabinet which has in it some inter-esting exhibits of different woods from all parts of the world.
Included in the wood collection is dog wood from the Philippines, zebra from West Coast Africa, ver-million from Africa, tiger front India, Narra from the Philippines, rose from the Indies and South America, and Teak from Siam.
S. M. Dell, Industrial arts department head, is planning to have more exhibits of educational nature on display soon, for he believes that students waiting to consult him can learn by seeing them.
Taken From Your Names
Hershey To Wichita
On November 16 Dr. Hershey ac-companied by Richard Horn, Jona-than Hammersley, and Ted Modine drove to Wichita to attend the Wichita Sectional meeting of the American Chemical Society.
The 315 women who passed tests for policewomen in New York City had 361 college degrees and four Phi Beta Kappa keys.
Nov. 13. Today we went to church as all the rest of the college students do (? ) We spent the after-noon looking at home movies, and got home in time to help the curfew toll the knell of parting day, or breaking dawn, whichever the case may be. We missed Dr. Bowman, but maybe, we can hear him this week sometime.
Nov. 14. Dohn Miller is beginning to look like somebody's grandfather. We wander what his lady
As Arthur Rhodes (rode) across the Fields of Frantz he saw a Cook Fry Hamm in a Grill. In the Grill be met a Doll who gave him quite a Rush. They ate Bacon, Rice, and Barley bread and he Sanger Long songs of Love. Then a Stern young fellow put a Stump in Arthur’s path. He took the Bright Doll to The Forrest to leave Herr with a Wolfe; but Ernest Arthur came from the Dell with a Blackman and a Campbell (camel) and rescued the Doll with a shout of Joy. So with a wave of a Reed and a toot of a Horn they crossed Akers of Fields and called away on a Van (of) Fleets.
We frequently hear of "Bull Sessions". but did you ever attend or listen in on a "Grimalkin Session"? Contrary to what that name implied, some of those sessions would really surprise you. For instance, at a recent meeting the question was asked "Where is the Inter national Date Line? " Wiggins was all ready to go, wherever it was, and try her luck at getting a date, until she discovered it is at the 180th meridian in the mid-pacific.
Can't anyone stop that kleptomaniac, Burnetta Denny? If you miss anything, especially you girls on third, look in her room, cause she seems to have sticky fingers for nicnacs.
This week finds Dohn Miller still hidden behind his fiery red beard, and still jealous of the thirtenth century peasants because they had such good food. "Tony Voshell still blushing because he entered the gym so hastily one afternoon, and the rest of us utterly exhausted from trying to think up excuses to explain the marks on our grade cards.
it didn't work because Bill Thompson had forgotten to put in a bit.

Are There Ghost Writers Here?
All due respect to Dr. Flory, but don't you think Englishmen are silly? Imagine answering the telephone, and having someone ask "Are you there?" Listen wise guy, where do you think I am?
This business of Amos and Metz sleeping in a wet bed, is beginning to be an old story. Metz got reck-less and spilled a whole bucket of water—and Amos didn't have to take her shower the next morning.
Flossie told me this one: "If you can't say anything nice about people, don't say anything at all. Is that why people are so quiet around here?” Did she really mean it, or was it sarcasm? Anyway, it wouldn't be a bad idea for most of us to practice that first sentence.
And so to practice what I preach, don't we all with we had Mary Elizabeth Hoover's sweet disposi-tion and charming smile, which she has with her always?
If you want to hear a thrilling story about a little gray mouse, please consult Kitty Mohler.
Evidently Harold Fulkerson is taking Dr. Bowman at his word; for he (Harold) is really "shopping around". Isn't he, girls? Perhaps the reason for Dr. Bowman's extreme popularity was the fact that he, as Bill Thompson so subtly phrases it, "taught the girls how to get their man".
At any rate dates abounded in great quantities every evening in church.
And speaking of Bill Thompson, here's a joke (if you know the meaning of the words "brace" and "hit") Incidentally, before I tell this I wish to inform you that Bill Thompson really is a smart guy.

Other college papers carry stories concerning the ghost writing done on their campuses; such a story has nut appeared in the Spectator, and indeed, many students when asked to the prevalence of such a practice on this campus were entirely ignorant as to the meaning of the term.
For your own satisfaction, you really should inquire as to the pos-ibilities of ghost writing. According to information from higher authority it seems that some students, realizing their inability to write themes of "A" quality, report to hiring a ghost writer to do it for them. Payment is made with coin of the realm, menial service, or hush money.
The Spectator charges 25 per column inch of advertising so if there are ghost writers on McPherson campus why not use this medium to increase your sales?
Bottles Meet Noisome Fate In Igloo
Down in the "Igloo" otherwise known as Fries’ basement, Dwight Horner, Forrest and Wilbur Stern, and Henry Dosenbrock live in a bachelor's paradise.
They had a grand time the other night when Wilbur, the old maestro, dropped a milk buttle in the process of washing it.
It's getting round that time of year again when all the young folks begin to think of home, grandma, dinner, lots and lots to eat, and incidentally, a chance to meet some folks that haven't been seen for a long time.
To look at some of the girls on the campus you'd think they hadn't participated in such an affair as a great big Thanksgiving dinner for a long time; they look so thin and peaked. On the other hand there are some students at the college who surely ought not think of eating a turkey meal until their avoirdupois is substantially reduced.

Chem Club Members Discuss Atoms, Rays

Russell is getting kinda "Foxy" lately. But if he fails her, she has several others on the string. How she rates—at times!
Don Davidson and Winton Sheffer must have a waterproof case worked out, judging by the amount of material they lug forth from the portals of the library. The first team so far to be seen using a rebuttal box is the team. Coppedge and Reed, Mary Boring, Ardys Metz, and Joy Smith are the freshmen squad members who have already had a background of systematism instilled into their manner of debate study so that they fit into Couch Hess' program excellently.
The season has scarcely begun yet, so only a fool would attempt to prophesy the success or failure of it, but anyone who observes the daily rounds of debating in room 9 says, "It will be as good as the clay is teachable."
Just how big is an atom? Frankly, we do not know, but the chemists and chemists-to-be who attended the regular Chemistry Club meeting Nov 10 learned something concerning atoms—both of theory and demonstration.
Asta Ostlind informed them that if one could make a hole in an ordinary light bulb just large enough to admit one million atoms per second, it would take a hundred million years to fill the bulb. Kathryn Enns and Ted Modine also presented papers on the theory of atomic structure.
The Wilson Apparatus for observing the Kuipp Alpha Ray Track was demonstrated by Emerson Yoder. Richard Horn exhibited the arrangement of electrons within the atom.

"Boy, no one else here can do as good a job of breaking a milk bottle as I", he boasted.
"Oh no? " quoth Horner as he pick-ed up another bottle and nonchalantly tossed it across the room where it crashed to the floor with a more or less musical tinkle.
Not to he outdone, Wilbur repeated the feat with a fruit jar. Immediately, Horner sent a third bottle to a noisome fate.
Then J. Henry decided to get in on the fun and heaved a light bulb and a cracked dish into the midst of the wreackage. This ended the barrage, because it exhausted the available breakables.
It seems to be the customary thing for some students to carry on the family tradition at McPherson College. At least quite a few students enrolled here this year have had members of their immediate family or relatives in school here at one time or another.
Both the mother and father of Gordon Yoder, Bob Frantz, Gerald-ine and Shirley Spohn, Bob Seidel, and Gladys Wiggins were here in school at one time.
Marjorie Kinzie's father and grandfather attended school here. Quite some record, isn't it! Miriam Kimmel, Lois Florman, Esther Sherfy, Edna Mae Russell, and Rosalie Fields say that only one of their parents went here.
Mary Elizabeth and S. G. Hoover's parents weren't in school here, but many of us remember Ira Milton and Wanda, brother and sister of theirs.
(Continued from Page One)
The latter individual is a product of McPherson High School, having achieved fair athletic success there for four years. He is considered the best end in the conference by Bill Rueblen. He will be remembered for various activities on the campus and will be stopped.
Gordon Yoder's mother and sister were here too, and also several cousin. Edna Mae Russell's brother and sister and cousins were here too. It is also known that Edna Mae's mother and Kathryn Enn's father were in school here at the same time and knew each other.
Nearly everyone here has had a cousin, an aunt or uncle or two, a sister or a brother who went to school here and such a list would be quite out of place here.
Flash! Flash! Editor Stucky has fallen! No, not in love, either, but in general aloofness. He now obeys the commands of his inferior officer, Associate Editor Fields.

Five Touchdowns Smother Builders
Victory Is Clear-Cut
Despite the protestations of Coach "Master Mind" Robertson, who was busy paying off bets after the game, the contest was a clear-cut victory for the Sophs. After intercepting a pass on his own 45-yard line, Kirk Naylor returned it to the 25. "Doc" Charbonneau plunged over for the touchdown and then for the extra point.
By superb blocking, fleet running, and hard charging, Coach "Buck" Astle's McPherson College Bulldogs accumulated five touchdowns to smother Southwestern's Moundbuilders 33-14 in a non-conference home-coming content on the college field Armistice Day.
Every man on the team participated inn the conflict to over-power the heavier opponents. McPherson gain-
ed 18 first downs and 345 yards by rushing in the most effective offense displayed for two seasons.
Here they are as follows:
Ends: Dave "Tennessee Terrior" McGill; Georgei Von Arb, Ottawa.
Tackles: Marshall Kephart, Beth-any: Walt Newland, C. of E.
Guards: Pat Paxton, Bethany;
Lee Kraus
Center: Raymond "Squeaky" Meyer.

Another Canine gridster, Eldon "Pat" Maloney is ready to oppose several Coyote players, whom he has faced in the ring for boxing. In fact, "Pat" is a first-rate pugilist in these parts.
Both teams have won seven games in the history of competition between the two schools. Two scoreless ties were produced in recent years. The Turkey Day opponents have accumulated 206 points while the Bulldogs have tallied only 85 points.
Thus McPherson will have plenty of reasons for chalking up another victory over the gridsters of Gene Johnson. A summary of Kansas

This tally came after a freshman scoring drive, during which the Fancy Dans mumbled 45 yards for a touchdown. Sylvan Hoover, quarterback and backbone of the greenies running attack, was the mainstay in this drive and scored on a plunge.
At the outset of the battle, Voshell and Funk shared ball-lugging duties to carry the pigskin to the l-yard line, from where Funk crashed over for the initial touchdown. Then Robertson converted for the extra point.
Alternates to this group include:
McCoy, C. of E., end; Rollin Wannamaker and Roy Robertson, end; Bob Richardson and Gene Owen. Tackles; Hofstra, Ottawa, tackle; LaVerne York. guard; Elvis Berger, C of E. gaurd; Bob Wie-gand, center; Glen Funk and Jake Cramer, backs; Jack Ramsey, Phil Palmer, and Don Meek, Ottawa, backs; Hurt, Baker, Back; Haun, Larson, and Haskell, C. of E.. backs; Polson and Carlson, Bethany, backs
"Squeaky" Myers also had a per-sonal interest in the fracas tomorrow afternoon. Virgil Baer, his high school coach, is a Wesleyan gradu-ate, now coaching at Chapman. Baer probably will come here for the game to watch his former pupil scrap an-other Baer, Marlin, Baers and Coyotes will combine against the Bulldogs.
Miller Rivals Moses
Goaded by the youngsters inso-lence, the Shock Troopers again tallied late in the last quarter, when Crouse scored on a line play. Char-bonneau again one pointed on a line plunge.
On a freak recovery of a fumble later in the opening period, Capt Dave "Tennessee Terries" McGill rac -ed 25 yards for another touchdown. He also snagged a pass from Funk early in the second frame to tally six more points.
Because the Bulldogs have not yet faced the purple Coyotes, members of that team were omitted from the list. Such players as Junior Shaw, Hylas Smith, Walter Bates, Marlin Baer, and (heaven help us) Bill Ruehlen may deserve all-loop recognition.
Kansas Wesleyan coaches, sports writers, and players have various opinions concerning the last tilt of the season. Gene Johnson, well-known for pro-game blows, said "On a dry ground, it won’t even be close." That statement can be slightly mis-understood, but it sounds like the Coyote mentor is somewhat on the rosy side. In other words, the Methodists believe they have a "pushover."
The W. A. A. of Southwestern College, Winfield, has invited our Volleyball Club to a Volleyball Sports Day to be held there in the near future.

It all started when Dohn Miller told the football boys if they best C. of E. he would not shave off his beard. Ever since he has worn an auburn facial growth.
Head Coach "Dutch" Goering and his assistant, bewhiskered Dohn Miller, needed only fifteen men to con-quer a freshman squad of two full teams. The Shock Troopers accumulated 133 yards to 111 for the yearlings and lost 11 yards compared with freshman reversals of 7 yards.
Behind splendid blocking, Funk charged 22 yards to cross the goal line before the first half ended. Cal-len kicked the extra point.
Both teams earned 8 first downs. Attempting eight passes completing two for 12 yards, the Shock Troopers held the freshmen completions to 3 for 29 yards out of 11 attempts.
In the final period Cramer tossed to Brust, who lateraled to McGill, who in turn scored the last McPher-son touchdown. "Squeaky" Meyer place-kicked for the additional counter.
For purposes of safety, we men-tioned most of the Canine Squad, but we certainly believe they are eligible for such honors, especially if they conquer the Coyotes.
Then Stuart Dunbar, also known for pre-game spouts, says "Wesleyan doesn't take this game seriously." And Johnny Gorges, center, re-marks, "There is only one game in the season for us." Let's g3et together and show the entire outfit McPherson is still in the conference.
Thursday afternoon, Nov. 8, a group of men students played in a tournament with the W. A. A. Volleyball club. The members of the club and the men were divided into four mixed teams with Lenore Shirk, Rilla Hubbard, Edith Hughey and Marvin Fox as captains. Each team played two acts of three games each. Hughey won over Hubbard, and Fox over Shirk in the first set. Fox was declared the winner in the finals. Miss Warner and some of the members of the club acted as officials.
The matter caused much consternation at Emporia however, for when "Tony" Voshell carried the ball across the goal line for the winning touchdown, his team-mates saw him laughing hysterically. He explained that he was not "out" but had just remembered Dohn's promise.
To show that he was still a good sport, the modern Moses said he would not remove the growth from his face if the team won from South-western. The Methodists let Dohn down and he's still wearing the beard. Not until the Bulldogs share the Coyote’s tail is this loyal sup-porter of the team going to return to the modern type of facial nudity.
From the above list, one is able to choose his eleven and may come clos-er to the final choice, made by Gene Kemper and the coaches of the Kansas conference.
After the shouting is over tomorrow afternoon one way or the other, one boy on the McPherson College squad will check in his football tags for the last time. Next year he may be directing a group of boys in the same sport.
Two Frosh Suffer Injury S. G. Hoover did the flinging for
the Fancy Dans until he had a tooth broken off late in the first half. After seeing a dentist to have it extracted, he returned to further aid his teammates. Vance Sanger was also a frosh casualty with a wrench-ed knee.
Hinshaw passed to Malone for the first Builder touchdown, then march-ed across the goal line for another point. Early in the fourth quarter Jones recovered a Bulldog fumble, galloped half-way down the field for the second counter, then converted for the extra joint.
Added to the names should be several players who were given positions on the all-opponent team. They are Joe Goering, Bethel, center; East-man, Haskell, back, and Chet Un-ruh, Bethel, back.
Week-End Results—
Included on the victorious soph roster were ends Bob Frantz, Herb Stauffer, and Rol Juhnke; tackles, La Rue Owen, "Swede" Carlson, and Dean Frantz; guards, Marvin Fox, Wayne Switzer, and Don Newkirk, and center, Junior Lacquement. In the backfield, Don Houghton, Kirk Naylor, "Doc" Charboneau, Carroll Crouse, and Ernest Reed maneuvered.
Old Grads, Students Enjoy Homecoming
Students and alumni under the capable leadership of Rush Holloway spent an enjoyable Friday evening together during Homecoming week.
Ottawa, only undefeated, untied team in Kansas, forged ahead to take the Kansas conference championship with a 27-0 victory over Baker. It is interesting to note that McPherson is the only team which held the Braves to less than two touchdowns, that one being the hardest earned.
Of course, we are referring to a swell player, an all-around athlete and gentlemen, a good sport and a handsome husband, Bob Wiegand, Inman's gift to McPherson College. We are not toying with words in the above sentence, for all the boys on the team will agree that they want to win this game for Bob.
The purpose of the games was not so much the winning of the game as the pleasure each individual player gets from participating in it. The Volleyball Club strives toward play for everyone, not just for those who excell. All of us enjoyed the tournament very much; and boys, we want you to come again.
The Tennis Club under the leadership of Hazel Bodice met recently and made some plans for the club activities in the spring. They also had their pictures taken for the Quad. Anyone interested in joining the Tennis Club in the spring will be welcome.

The group was divided into the Bulldogs and the Builders and each group tried to give the correct answers to currant college phrases read by Rush. But not a single student could or else wouldn't, tell what "pitching woo" meant. Maybe they should have called for a demonstration.
Old and new students then visited together until hot mince pie and coffee were served to climax the evening.
Unexpected by Bethany, College of Emporia did the expected last Friday by turning back the Irish-tutored Scandinavians, climbing into a tie for second with the Swedes, and showing they had a promising grid-ster in Bud Larson.
With these games out of the way, it remains for the Bulldogs to prove to the rest of the conference they can continue their late season stride by shoving the Coyotes back in the cellar, where they belong.
It may be too early to talk basketball with the most important game of the grid season yet to be played, but a few boys have been on the new court of the physical educa-tion building to get a start on the coming basketball campaign.
