Seven high schools including Marquette, Galva, Canton, Roxbury, Windom, Walton, and Sedgwick will compete for honors.
The festival, an all day affair, will include competition in solo events, glee clubs, bands, and orchestras.

Each soloist and group will also receive a written criticism from the Judge.
Prof. Walter H Hohmann, head of the music department of Bethel College, will be the judge. Professor Hohmann is one of the of the outstanding musicians of the state. At the present time, he holds the office of Vice President of the Kansas Music Teachers Association.
Newkirk To State; Steals First Place
Wins Local Anti-Tobacco Meet; Fields To Give Winners Prizes
Clearly analyzing the economic as-pects of the huge yearly consumption of tobacco by the American public. Donald Newkirk, sophomore varsity debater, Tuesday placed first in the local Anti-Tobacco contest with his speech entitled, "Man's Folly."
The contest, with Bill Thompson as presiding officer and chairman was directed by Debate Coach Maurice Hess.
Dutch and Model A Are Stubborn
Creation Soloist
Melvin H. Geist, Winfield, head of the voice department of South western college, will be one of the soloists for "The Creation," the oratorio the McPherson Choral Union will give March 26, at the City Auditorium. Geist is one of the outstanding tenors in Kansas.
Addison Satthoff, senior, spoke on the subject, ''Tobacco and Moral Law", while Wilburn LeWallen spoke of "Life At Its Best." Leslie Rogers, freshman used as his subject, "Duped by Dope."
Judges for the contest were Miss Della Lehman, professor of speech and dramatics; Dr. Barton Metzler, professor of ethics and religion, and Dean J. D. Bright, head of the history department.
It is believed that "Dutch' Goering has set some kind of record or the other for persist-ence. Tuesday morning when he found be was snowed in at Elyria, he got a team of horses out to make a track through five-foot snow-banks so that he could drive to the highway.
After that be drove a tractor back and forth in the road until he had a good enough track to pull his car through.
He hitched the car behind the tractor and made it to the highway, only to got stuck fifteen times on the way to McPherson. In addition to that, he had a flat tire. His famous green Model A may be given a blue ribbon for standing so much punishment.
And he should, it is thought by many, be examined to find out why he liked to go to school as bad as all that.
Drive Is Success;
Will Aid Students
Thompson, Harshbarger Show
Need of Students in Far East
The S. C. M. was in charge of the chapel program Wednesday morning. Music was furnished by Vera and Vena Flory, Rowena Wampler led in devotions and Opal Huffman sang "The Prayer Perfect".
William Thompson opened his ad-dress on the Far East with a number of challenging questions: Would you as McPherson College students be willing to study and take examinations in a bomb-proof cellar? Would yon be willing to walk, not hitch-hike, as far as from Cleveland, Ohio, to McPherson to continue your education? To live In a depression due by hand? To live without adequate food? This is actually happening in the world today.
Three sessions of the festival will be held, the first being in the morning with solo events, the second taking place in the afternoon and including solo and small ensemble events, and the final session will be held in the evening with the group events holding the center of activity. The morning and afternoon events will be held In the college chapel, and the evening will see the festival moved to the city auditorium.
This is the second year that Mc-Pherson College has sponsored this festival, the event having been held here last year. All arrangements are being made by Miss Jessie Brown, head of the department of music, and she is being assisted by the music family and a number of students.
A good sized crowd was present Sunday afternoon for the piano recital, given in the McPherson college chapel by students of Miss Fern Lingenfelter. The program was varied and short, with both beginners and advanced pupils participating.
Present Famous Play Tonight In Chapel
Newkirk's win entitled him to en-ter the state contest held at Bresee college, Hutchinson, March 10.
Dr. J. W. Fields, local dentist, offers prices of $35 for first place, $25 for second place, and $15 for third place to motivate the state contest every year.
The Play Production class with the assitance of the speech class will present a matinee larique of Thornton Wilder's famous play, "Our Town," tonight at 8 o'clock in the college chapel.
This play drew the attention of the world because of its unusual qualities. No properties were used in its production in New York, mer-ly a bare stage with chairs. "Our Town" ascended rapidly in fame dur-ing the past winter season and prob-ably, according to critics, was the most popular.
This unusual play will be presen-ted by the following cast: Mr. Gibbs Harold Larsen: Mrs. Gibbs, Margeret Kagarice, George Gibbs, Dwight Horner: Mr. Webb, Carl Smucker, Mrs. Webb, Rilla Hubbard: Emily Webb, Vera Heckman: Mrs. Soames, Faylene Stansel: Lady in box, Elma Minnick: dead persons, Orville Beeh-ler and Luther Harshbarger.
Cushman Closet Regional Meet
Speaks On Neccessity Of Living
Life Of Normal Decisions
"The Vital Necessity of Living a Life of Decision" was the topic Bish-op Ralph Cushman used when he spoke to the regional conference and the student body during the chapel period last Friday morning, ending the regional conference of the Church of the Brethren.
"Why do students of China continue their education under such adverse conditions? The answer may be found in a statement made by General Chiang Kaishek, "Students run best serve their country by continuing their education". The hope of China lies in the education of its students, said Mr. Thompson.
Because China's educational system is largely American, we can more fully understand and sympa-thize with the situation. Realizing these institutions were a democratizing force, Japan first used the universities and libraries as targets for her bombs.
Those who appeared on the program were John Parsons, Galva, Marilyn Burk, Margie Bullinger, Canton, Ida Mae and Mary Lee Johnson, Martha Jane Bright, Rosemary Philpy, June and Lenore Sorensen, Gerry Gate, Bonnie Martin, Mareta Montgomery, Canton, Donna Wal-strom, Stuart Woods, Mary Helen and Roger Frazer, Jane and Marie James.
Last Tuesday evening in the regu-lar meeting of the Forensics club Leonard Vaugh, affirmative; deba ted Vance Sanger, negative, on the subject "Dates should be chaper-oned." Interest was shown in the de-bate as was indicated by the close audience vote on the decision.
Using as his text the works "Dantel purposed in his heart that he world not defile himself", Bishop Cushman said that decisions are im-portant in the understanding and discovery of life and in the finding of God. He said that "unless reli-gious education climaxes in a verdict it doesn't get one anywhere". The making of a choice in the im-portant thing, and the kind of a Christian one is depends on how he sets his will to it.
Kansas Institute Held At Bethel
Bright On CentralCommittee;
Schwalm Is Among Sponsors
The fourth annual Kansas Instu-tute of International Relations will be held June 12 to 22 at Bethel college, Newton, Kansas.
Dean of McPherson college. Dr. J. D. Bright, is one of the central committee, which includes Glenn Witherspoon, local Congregational pastor; James Elrod, and William Juhnke, both of whom attended Macollege.
Among the sponsors of the Institute are found the foremost names in America and Kansas. In addition
to Dr. V. F. Schwalm and Bishop Ralph S. Cushman, such men as Arthur Capper, A. E. Hertzler, John M. Houston, Walter A. Huxman, Alfred M. Landon, W. T. Markham, Victor Murdork, Ernst F. Philblad, Payne Ratner, Charles M. Sheldon, and William Allen White add pres-tige to the institute.
Guest Day On Mcampus Is Next Friday
Macampus will be over-run with friends of the college and parents of its students next Friday when they will be special guests in a gain visitation day.
Officials of the college have arranged this Guest Day to give parents and friends a chance to better acquaint themselves with the college as it works. Classes will be held much as usual and visitors are urged to attend the discussions.
Students are urged by Dr. V. F. Schwalm to invite their parents and friends to the carefully-planned visitation occasion.
Special Program
Among the special functions of the day will be the special chapel program which will be held at 10:15, presided over by Pres. V. F. Schwalm. It will feature music by the varsity male quartet and a trumpet solo by Berle Miller. A talk by Prof. Maurice A. Hess will express the faculty's welcome to the guests. Bill Thompson will speak on behalf of the collegians, while Dr. J. W. Fields will speak as a friend and guest of the college. The chapel group will be a general assembly of guests, faculty, and students Free Luncheon.
A free luncheon will be served at noon to all visitors, who will be guests of the students in the college dining hall at noon.
Thespians Give Play Next Friday Night
"Berkely Square" To Be Feature Of Guest Day
The hardships endured by Chinese students are not entirely a curse. They provide extra-curricular activities as farming and social service, and it is mainly through these students, the outside world is able to get reliable information on the ex-isting conditions.
One of the most successful plays on the English and American stage, in which Leslie Howard starred for a year in New York and other theatrical centers, will be prevented in the college chapel next Friday, March 10, at 8:15 pm by the Thespian Club.
After a little business, the im-promptu speeches were given. Ro-bert Rive gave an impromptu
speech telling what to do to those who have not paid their class dues. Then Autumn Fields spoke on the movies sponsored by the student council recently. Wilburn LeWallen spoke on the subject of whether the basketball season was a success or not.
Bishop Cushman quoted numer-ous passages of poetry; but he especially emphasized one verse from "By the Fireside" by Robert Browning It was:
"Oh, the little more, and how much it is!
And the little less, and what worlds away;
How a sound shall quicken con-tens to bliss.
Or a breath suspend the blood's best play.
And life be a proof of this".
Officials of the American Friends Service Committee, through which much of the relief work of the Brethren church is carried out, arranged the institute. That the institute is a growing movement is shown by the fact that last year nearly 750 vital citizens from 54 different Kansas communities and four other stairs enjoyed the program. They represented 17 different vocations and 18 religious de-nominations.
Following the luncheon, at 1:15 the student council will conduct a tour of the campus beginning at the
chapel and including visits to the new Physical Education and Health
building, the museum, and a display of the largest synthetic diamond in the world. This Jewel was made at
McPherson College by Dr. J. W. Hershey, head of the chemistry department, and is housed in Harnly Hall. Prof R. E. Mohler is curator of the museum, one of the best in the midwest. Other points of interest will be included in the tour.
Applicability of religion to the problems of modern life is stressed in two new religion courses at Woman's College, University of North Carolina.
Donovan E. Smucker, who recent-ly visited Macampus, is executive secretary of the Kansas Institute of International Relations, and will supply information to anyone interested if they write him at North Newton, Kansas.
The low cost of attending the sessions and the fact that students may recieve two hours college credit based on institue sessions and special examinations, makes the program especially attractive to Macollegians.
Will Show Movie
At 2:15 an educational moving picture filmed will be shown with the recently purchased sound projector, bought by the student council.
A social tea has been aranged by the Dames Club at 3:45,. to round out the day's schedule. All visitors are invited to this event held in the beautiful Student Union Room. Class visitation periods are from 7:50 to 10:15, and 11:20 to 11:55. Students will act as guides during the day.
Shall we not send more than sym-pathy? Let us show our sympathy in the form of direct action.
In a plea for the offering which was taken, Luther Harshbarger gave three reasons why the U. S. ought to meet her aim of $100,000 for the Far East. First, there is an acute need for it. By seeding 2 per cent of this fund to Japan we can illus-trate the solidarity among students, that there can still be fellowship among students of several countries despite other differences. In the third place, this money will be sorely needed for reconstruction at the cessation of the war.
The contributions of the local student body amounted to $37.26, including pledges.
The idea is that time is not a straight line, but that events of the past, present and future can he mingled into the life of one man that we are privileged to watch.

Many difficulties arise and he is left reading a copy of the inscription of Helen Pettigrew’s tombstone, which tells of her death over a hundred years ago.
Admission for the play is twenty-five rents for students and thirty-five cents for adults.

Koo, secretary of the World Christian Federation, and former ex-ecutive of Chinese railways, is a brilliant, skillful lecturer who will combine deep religious insight with a breadth of information on day-byday events in the Orient, when he offers a course in a return engagement to the Kansas Institute demanded by popular request of those who heard him last year.
Ingalls Speaks In Chapel
Mr. Roscoe Ingalls of Los Angels, director of the largest Junior college in the world, spoke in chapel last Monday morning.
He graduated from McPherson College in 1909. The two graduates of the class at '09 are now in high positions in the educational world, and both live in Los Angeles.
Mr. Ingalls said that he was sent
to college as a problem child and only came to McPherson by accident. His parents gained for him a tuition scholarship to McPherson. There he was called on the carpet for organising a football team and was forced

Much more lasting effects would be accomplished. I would like to see an International brigade formed to save life, rather than to destroy it."
R. H. Markham, former Kansan who went to Central Europe for edu-cational work and accepted an ap-pointent as correspondent of the Christian Science Monitor, will also give a cours ein European problems. Samuel Gay Inman, Leyton Rich-ards, Marvin Hambro, and other equally well-known members will

"I like this definition of an optimist and a pessimist," said Mr. Ingalls. "An optomist is one who sees a light where they isn't any, and the pessimist is the one who comes along and blows out the light."
The Spectator Sees
The Story Of Americania Strictly The Bull
Once upon a time there was a young nation named Amer-icania.
Americania was diferent from the other countries. All the other countries would run around and fight, or pretend to fight.
But not Americania. He would rather stay home and sit under the illusionary tree of democracy and enjoy the world's fairs growing underneath.
Then, one day, some scouts came to look over the countries for the big fight. All the other countries clashed and threatened and sent ultimatums and everything.
But not Americania. He just sat under the tree, enjoying world’s fairs.
Then a bee stung Amercania. Americania was mad at this. He said, angrily. "I shall never again speak to Hitleria." (For that was the bee’s name).
The scouts were pleased at this. "There is the country," they said, "there is just the country to get to fight in "Positively the Last War To End All Wars."
So they took Americania off to the big arena.
Then the time came to fight. Everybody was there, wait-nig. Including the radio announcers and newsreel men. The various combatants had paraded their armies, navies and airplanes, and wore all ready to fight Americania.
So they let Americania into the ring.
Americania came out rather dazed. Then all at once, he noticed two world’s fairs out on the grounds. So he sat down and simply enjoyed them.
The other combatants were mad. The scouts were mad. Everybody, in short, was mad.
But not Americania. He just sat there and enjoyed the world's fairs.
So they carted him back to where they found him—and for all wo care, he may stay there forever, enjoying his world fairs—University Daily Kansan.

Collegians Severely Frown On Super-Sleuth Dies
Super Sleuth Martin Dies, Congressman from Texas, is not in very good standing with most collegians. His forays into the realm of isms in the U. S. seem to bring only smiles to the faces of most undergraduates, although many profess to be "skeptical but not unconvincable."
Commenting on the recent action of congress giving Mr. Dies $100,000 to continue his investigations, the "Daily Iowan" at the University of Iowa said this: "It looks very much as if there’ll be a lot of fun among the Dies investigators during the coming 11 months. Probably $100,000 isn’t too much to spend for a good laugh: Hollywood spends much more for those with less humor."
While the University of Maine "Campus” called it "the most obvious and deplorable example of pure waste of public money in recent Congressional deliberations," the St. Lawrence University "Hill News" said: "It is a sad commentary on the American people that a biased, prejudiced, narrowminded committee such as this should continue its activities unchecked."
Taking a little more serious stand, the University of Minnesota "Daily" called upon Chairman Dies to choose his witnesses and issue his statements "with greater consideration. An investigation of un-American activities is definitely needed. With increased funds and a stronger personnel, the American public has a right to expect the committee to live up to the promise it showed at its inception.
Chief fault found with the investigation is that it is foreign to our constitution. The "Egyptian" of Southern Illinois Teachers College put it this way: "What would you propose doing to an individual whom Mr. Dies proves to be a subversive character? If you put such a person in prison or take away his right to express himself because his interests and opinions run contrary to that of vested interests, then we don’t need to worry about dictatorships in other countries, we’ll have one of our own."—A.

Rest Homes Proposed For Tired, Study-Worn Undergrads
Something new and novo] in the way of student accomodations is proposed by the Duke University "Chronicle"—its editors would have their alma mater establish rest homes where tired and study-worn undergraduates could spend a few days catching up on their sleep.
As a precedent for their proposal they cite the following: "Duke women are fortunate in having a unique privilege— that of spending a few days in the East campus infirmary whenever they feel themselves tired or run-down by too much study or social activity. They need not be ill to avail them-selves of this free opportunity for a rest amid quieter surroundings than prevail in the average dormitory."—A. C. P.

Spectacular But Not Fatal
Hackensack, N. J.—(ACP)— The
disease of the jitterbug bug at last
been diagnosed by a college biologist and has been declared "spectacular but not fatal” and a definite detriment to learning.
After considerable research on the "disease", Clifford H. Coles of Bergen Junior Collage here, has Issued the following report
"The poison may cause a sudden reaction In the body. In which case the Individual, without any warning symptoms, Is thrown abruptly into the throes of the disease, or the reaction may slowly build up to full vigor, requiring a month or more completely to possess the victim.
"The poison apparently is carried to all parts of the body by the bloodstream and seems to affect certain of the endocrine glands, notably the adrenal and parathyroid.
"The stimulation of the adrenals result in unusual strength, daring and endurance, characteristic of the symptoms of this malady. The stimulation of the parathyroid gland results in excessive nervous activity as is shown by the jittery convulsions and paroxisms of the body. This rendition bears some resemblance to the advanced staged of the disease commonly known as St. Vitus Dance.
"One hopeful observation I have made is that the disease is rarely fatal. Most victims seem able gradually to throw off the poison, although this may take several years. "During the height of the disturbances, however, the effects generally are detrimental. Most a flirted Individuals seem entirely unable to concentrate for any appreciable length of time on their studies. As a result these folks grow to maturity with pitifully undeveloped mentalities. Peculiarly enough, the bodily development seems none the worse for this toxic condition. On the contrary, the muscles, especially in the back, legs and arms, usually are firm and well developed.
"The agonizing contortions and unintelligible exclamations, the latter being evidently secondary efforts, produce a heart-rending effect upon the victim's parents and elderly relatives."

Fox And Goose Frolics
Snow blankets on the spacious lawns of certain residences on college bill on Saturday morning appeared to bars been irresistible to a group of adventurous night wander-ers. For there, conspicuous against an otherwise smooth surface, were the tracks and paths of a fox and goose game.
Inquiries concerning the identity of these trespassers revealed that five young ladies, most of whom live on third floor of Arnold, returned at the last minute almost too breath-less to explain their evening's activ-ities. A reliable source of informa-tion relates the itinerary of the group namely as continuing down Euclid avenue, up Heaston's drive, through Field's back gate, and front yard, past the college farm (making most disturbing noises), and a few minutes later, past the new first house.
Lena Belle Olwin disclaims cap-lalnasy of the group and confers that honor on Ruth Stump.
Many students do not make full use of the periodicals available In the Macollege library. Few even realize the wealth of material con-tained in periodicals. However, it is possible to find material on practically any subject among the maga-zines in our library.
At the present time, the library is receiving over 80 periodicals. In addition, a large file of back numbers of these and other periodicals is maintained.
Immediately to the west of the entrance to the reading rooms are to be found the Readers Guides covering the years since 1910. To find material on a subject, one need merely look in the Guide, under a word or series of words related to his subject, to find a listing of articles on that subject published in various magazines during the period which the Guide covers.
On the Readers Guide table there is also a listing of the magazines in the library, revised to April 1935. This listing will soon be brought up to date, according to Miss Porney, librarian.
In the west reading rooms on the reference shelves there are a considerable number of bound periodicals. The remainder, which are housed in th basement, and the stockroom are being bound as fast as possible, to facilitate their use. They can be ob-tained by asking for them at the desk.
Portrait Attracts Eyes
So demure, so dignified, no truly beautiful. This describes the portrait of the Queen of Italy, and is located on the south wall of the library reading room.
Wilbur Stern said he thought her more beautiful than any of the mod-ern models. Rosalie Fields was reminded of those precuiliar white dogs with fluffy muff around the neck and ankles.
Outwardly the Queen appears
calm, but no doubt Inwardly she is quite excited that her portrait is being painted that her clothing and hair are so beautiful, and that she be the bride of the King of Italy. To Mussolini, now, however, she Is only a figure head; of what does she remind you?

For a mental picture of McPherson's famous Buick parked in front of the best-looking cathedrals in Europe, come to BYPD next Sunday night when Claude Dr. Flory is going to talk of churches in Europe before the young people's group at the Church of the Brethren at 6:30. The young professor is well-quali-fied to speak, having spent the last year abroad.
Last Sunday night the BYPD, although smaller than usual because of a conflict with the SCM retreat at the same time, heard an excellent book review "Acres of Diamonds" given by Mrs. Elsie Nininger. The book, written by Rev. Russell Con-well, was formerly used as a lecture and has been given to thousands of people all over the United States. A number of significant Incidents were cited from the book which has as Its purpose the betterment of mankind.
Other features of the program were a piano solo by Joy Smith and devotions led by Kirk Naylor.

Within These Walls—
Isn't it funny how a few measly inches of snow can bring out the meanness in people? Take for instance Glenford (ahem) Funk. Usually he is fairly timid, but since the snow he has become very brave. He washed Evelyn Amos's face (well, so did Keith Pierce), and even picked on poor timid little Prof. Paden. And then there's Ruth Smith. The snow has revealed her to be small but mighty, for she tripped that guy, Lyle Albright and made him land in a drift of snow.
Even Bob Rice, of the Rice-Fields combination, has made a valuable contribution to the school for quality. He braved the snow, and made a tunnel front Sharp to Harnly. The snow also has revealed that Rowena Wampler is one of the few people who can wear a snow suit, becoming-ly.

Ain't it purty? The snow, I mean! It’s a heap o' fun to roll In it. Put it down somebody’s neck, and to make snow men. Makes good sleddin' too, but it's kinda hard on those that have to shovel it off the sidewalks.

The third floor girls had a surprise birthday party for Irene Ewing Tuesday night. But the icing fell off the cake while they were singing "Happy Birthday to you." Rotten cake. The girls on the other two floors should follow the example of those on third and get together more often.

Next Monday. March 6, Dr. and Mrs. J. D. Bright will hold open house for Mrs. Bright's parents, Mr. and Mrs. F. G. McGaffey, in honor of their golden wedding anniversary. The Bright home will be opon to callers from 2:30 until 5:30 and from 7 until 9 P. M.
Mr. and Mrs. McGaffey, before moving to McPherson, lived first on a farm near Holmesville, Nebraska and later near Abilene, Kansas. They have nine children, seven daughters and two sons. Five of the daughters are living in Kansas, one In New York, and one in Idaho. One son lives in Washington D. C. and the other lives in McPherson with his parents.
All of the children except one son nave attended McPherson College, five of the girls and the younger son receiving their degrees from here.

If they are nothing else, the 15 pledges of Alpha Tau Omega at the University of Missouri are ingenious. To protest regent assignment of pledge "duties'' outside their fraternity house, they marched down to the city jail, asked and received lodging for the night.

University of Illinois males, a bit out-of-sorts over the many systems used to pick campus beauty queens, have devised a rating form they believe beats any used elsewhere. Their subjects are given points for the following:
2 points for a letter from the boyfriend at home:
5 points for a male phone call:
7 points for a long-distance phone call:
8 points for each week-end date;
10 points for a major dance bid:
35 points for the first fraternity dance bid:
26 points for the first fraternity pin acquired.
Under this system, you are really a queen if you can score 50 points in a week. Chief problem is to get the co-eds to give accurate reports on phone calls, letters, etc.
Yon have probably heard of the student who went to school several years and lost so many hours by cutting classes that he came out in the hole, but here is an authentic case in which the collegian actually broke
even for one semester.
It seefs that a Texas Technoolgi-cal student enrolled for a total of 11 hours. Finding that his load was too heavy he dropped one of those. When the semester was over he had flunked nine more and received so many cuts that he lost the one he had passed. And so he was back where he started, even with the college.—A. C. P.

The Spectator
In the spring a McPherson college athlete's fancy turns to throught of track, tennis, and baseball, but inclement weather has prevented the Bulldogs from doing any more then think about these sports.
Recent snows have put the tracks, courts, and diamonds in a muggy condition. As soon as real spring weather arrives, the boys will don appropriate uniforms and indulge in their favorite forms of inter-collegiate recreation.
Coach "Buck" Astle will devote most of his attention this year to track. Individual indoor workouts have begun and complete outdoor workouts soon will be underway in preparation for coming meets,
which have not yet been arranged.
Eight lettermen are available for the cinder campaign this season. They are Rollin Wanamaker, high lamp, broad jump, and high hurdles; Glen Funk, javelin, high Jump, pole vault; Richard "Buckshot" Van Vleet, broad Jump; LaVerne York, middle distnces; Herb Stauffer, high Jump; Tony Vosbell, discus, javelin, broad jump, shot put; Elmer Ratzlaff, dashes; Dave McGill, broad jump and discus.
Bulldog Batters -
Final statistics will not be available until next week, but it is be-lieved that McPherson is near the top in total number of fouls made during the season. Such a situation is certainly not encouraging when the Bulldogs occupy last place in the scoring columns.
However, the Canine basketeers made fewer fouls during the 1939 season than did their opponents, proving there are other factors con-tributing to several fouls during the year.
When the facts are revealed, it will be discovered that the Kansas conference contains four teams which may be classified as Bulldog batters. These teams are Kansas Wesleyan, Bethany, College of Emporia, and Ottawa.
Why are they called Bulldog baiters Because the Coyotes, Swedes, Presbies, and Braves, who end the season on the top of the heap, found a glaring weakness of McPherson's crew. That weakness is retaliation, or getting even with a team which may have started something, probably unnecessary fouling.
By natural circumstances most of the swing-scat men this year were also football players. They had enough aggressiveness, persever-ance, and determination as gridster-cagers to resent illegal defensive tactics displayed by opponents. Most of the Kansas Wesleyan, Bethany, and Ottawa teams also are composed of football players.
by Ottawa.
Mark Porter, Joelle Letkeman, Dan Zook, Olan Nincehelser will not be available for workouts this year after lettering last spring. Several freshmen are reported to be out-standing prospects and will be expected to report soon for workouts.
Barngrover and Rothrock are not available for tennis this season, but Carroll Crease, Gordon Yoder, Ernest Reed, and Barns Stauffer earned letters and will be swinging the rackets. Again there are several premising freshmen and second semes-ter students who may bolster the strength of the squad, which is coached by Dr. Claud R. Flory.
Last year the Bulldog netsters defeated Hutchinson Junior College and Kansas Wesleyan while losing twice to College of Emporia, and once to Bethany and Hutchinson Junior College.
Spring sports make their debut this month!
Bulldogs Bite Dust In Season Finale
McGill, Homes Lead Canine
scoring; Bethany Wins 38-25
Trailing all the way, the McPher-son college Bulldogs succumbed to a blasting Bethany attach to the tune of 38-25 in the final game of the season at Lindsborg,Wednesday eight. The victors held a 16-13 advantage between semesters.
Bethany reserves played most of the battle and the Swede defense was air-tight against the mild "swing system" offense of McPherson. Near the end of the first half, through, the Bulldogs climbed to within one point of the leaders. At three times during the final period the margin was only three points.
Dave McGill and "Duke" Holmes shared scoring honors for McPher-son with 10 points, following Bethe-man Boove, Swede forward, with 11 tallies. WIth the victory, the Swedes retained second place in the confer-ence standings.

Roy Robertson also is a lettermen, but it is doubtful whether he will be able to participate. Other track-sters who have had experience in college are Wayne Albright, Harold Duncanson, and Stephen Stover, distanc; Wesley DeCoursey, middle distances, and Vernon Beckwith, dashes.
Last year the Canine thin-clads turned in a fairly Impressive record and Coach Astle hopes to have a balanced, experienced squad to perform this season.
Although he is not certain about baseball, Coach Astle may offer baseball again as a spring sport. He in-augurated the diamond pastime last year and may continue to direct workouts "Just for fun" or with support of the college.
Several baseball players enjoyed playing last year and desire to fallow the game this spring. Further plans will be announced later by As-tle.
A regular McPherson contest started as a smooth, fast interesting exhibition. Later in the first half, though, the Bulldogs seemed to wither while the opposing team for-ged into the load, building up an eight or tea point advantage at the intermission.
The reason for such occurrences in most of the games played this season was the constand under-basket pressure by opponents, "Duke" Holmes and other centers will agree it has been a terrific struggle under both goals.
Therefore, the opponents gradually edge on the Bulldogs to make more fouls and fewer baskets, which may be smart basketball. At least this method had results. If season's scores are an accurate Indication.
Although the regular Canine basketball season is completed, Coach Astle assures us that he will hold workouts three times a week during the next three weeks. He hopes to get a running start on nest season, when he will have most of the same squad.
Bob Wiegand and Russell Kingsley, the only seniors, are looking for teaching-coaching position far next year. Both lads gained considerable experience in college competition and have a wide knowledge of many sports.
Unfortunately we stated in an is-sue of the Spectator several weeks ago that the Bulldog reserves dropped a game to the Bethany reserves. That is incorrect, for the second team actually trimmed the Swedes 42-36. In that victory, Vetter. Nordling, and Weible led the scoring for the Bulldogs and after three minutes of play. McPherson built up a tremendous lead.
A lata check-up yesterday afternoon also reveals that the reserves have won nine of thirteen contests, proving that the college has at least one winning team.
Tennis also is attracting much interest this year with the return of Coach Claude R. Flory. Four letter-men, Gordon Yoder, Carroll Crouse, Ernest Reed, and Burns Stauffer, probably will participate.
"B" Team Ends Year With Ninth Victory
Vetter Paces Mates To An Easy 20-13 Triumph
Piling up a comfortable lead in the first half, the McPherson college reserves turned in their ninth victory of the season against the Beth-any reserves 20-13 in the preliminary contest Wednesday night. This game marked the end of the fairly successful season for the Bulldog "B" team.
The reserves held a 13-4 lead at the half, then the Swedes reserves rallied, but never seriously threaten-ed the winners. Jack Veter, fresh-man guard, paced the scoring with seven points.

In case anyone was not certain, the McPherson Bulldogs definitely will not enter the national Inter-col legiate tournament this month at Kansas City. . . . Evan Ottawa may have trouble entering the competition. . . . . Kansas Wesleyan went south with the snow to participate in a tourney at El Paso, Texas, with sixteen college teems. . .Incidentally, the Bulldogs were the only Kansas conference opponents to defeat the Coyotes since Bob Hunt Joined the squad. . . . For some reason, the towering former A. A. U. player has acquired a dislike for the ''swing systme."
Ernest Monroe Ireland established a time record on making four personal fouls. Wednesday night he played only seven minutes and was sent to the showers on four personal infractions . . In the same battle, Jack Vetter placed an appropriate climax to a beetle season. He sub-stituted for Herb Stauffer late in the game and pul on Stauffeur's jersey. When Referee Cliff Ogden asked him the number of the player whom he was replacing, Vetter said he didn't know, although he was wearing his Jersey and could have glanced down to give Ogden the Information.
Speaking of tournaments, several downtown stores and groups are organizing cage teams to compete in a tourney which will be held sometime this month in the college gymnasium Intramural winners also may enter to represent the college.
No tears will be shed in this camp if Bethel squelches the Swedes tomorrow night at Newton in the final conference game of the season.

Statistics compiled by your reporter reveal that McPherson has made 166 fould as compared to 168 for the opponents. Opponents should investigate their own records to dis-cover the team with the most fouls.
This is fine weather for "scoops.." but not the newspaper variety. . . Lee Kraus can continue his ivory tinkling on a new piano which was presented to him as a gift... We
understand that members of the bas-ketball team are going to drub stu-dents who made a profit during the season by betting against McPherson. The traitors are doomed!
During the season the Bulldogs registered 159 field goals and 99
free throws while the opponents counted 220 field goals and 118 charity tosses. Other statistics show, that McPherson is next to the Coyotes in having the poorest defense, although the offense rates higher in comparison to other teams.
Spring Sports Debut
Last year in track, McPherson won dual meets with Kansas Wesley-an, Bethel, and Bethany. The Bull-dog thin-clads placed second in a quadrangular meet with Bethany, Friends, and Sterling, the winner. Then they placed third both in the Sterling Relays, which was won by College of Emporia, and in the Kan-sas conference meet, which was won.
College of Emporia, with 63 points, dumped in 26 field goals and 11 free throws to 40 minutes for the greatest offensive strength. The only game in which the Bulldogs contributed 20 field goals was against Gene Johnson's "fire de-partment." Twenty fouls were the most made by McPherson in any one game, matched against College of Emporia.
The least number of fouls in conference competition were turned in when the Wesleyan crew walloped McPherson 56-37 at Salina. The Canine basketeers probably were slightly rough in their style of playing, but intentional infractions were few in number.
College of Emporia staved off a late McPherson rally last Saturday night to defeat the Bulldogs 44-42 in the final home game of the season. The Presbies piled up a 24-16 advantage at the half, after which the lead was whittled down by "Duke" Holmes and Dave McGill.
One field goal determined the winning margin of the visitors, who were paced by Frazer with 10 tallies and S. Sharpe with 9, Twenty fouls were called on McPherson while 19 were called on the Pres-bies.
In a brilliant performance "Duke" Holmes accumulated 21 points to lead the scoring parade, followed by Dave McGill with 11.
The Bulldog reserves defeated the Y. M. C. A. second team 29-22 in the preliminary. Kingsley registered to points for high scoring honors, followed by Naylor with 8 and Holloway with 7. The "B" squad won deadlocked 13-13 at the half, then pulled into a lead near the end of the game.
Voshell Wins
Cage Intramurals
Inter-Class Tourney
To Begin Next Week
In a last minute scoring spurt, the Intramural Basketball Tournament was won by the "rattlebug-coached" Tony Voshell aggregation who landed on top by defeating the Elmer Ratzlaff team 35-32.
The teams were coached by mem-bers of the varsity basketball squad and referees were taken from the members of the squad, also.
In the first round of the tourney, Voehell started his winning spree by defeating varsity captain, Bob Wiegand's team, 34-16. Boh Frantz took high-scoring honors with 8 points. Ratzlaff's team won over Lyle Albright's team by 45-17. Elmer Kaufman being high-point man with 14 points.
In the second round Voshell came in with a win over Nordling's team, 36-17, B. Frants again taking high scoring with 7 points. In this same round Kingsley's team won over Calvin Jones' team, 28-13, Diehl being high-point man with 12 points. Kingsley then turned around and lost to Ratzladd 34-16 with Charles Baldwin high man with 12 points.
Wanamaker then played Weigand, losing to him, 28-13. High point men was W. Albright with 13 points. Vo-shall then won over Burkholder, 43-16, Jack Oliver being high point man with 28 points. Kingsley defeated Burkholder, 36-16 with Diehl high man with 12 points.
Voshell then won over Ratzlaff in one of the most exciting games of the tournament. A very close game was witnessed throughout, ending in a 21-21 tie. A three-minute over-time was than played in which Ratz-laff's team was in the lead until the last half minute when Bob Frantz, playing for Voshell, made a field goal from the center of the court, winning the game, 25-24. The in-dividual scoring was shared by Oliver and Frantz baring 8 points each. This gave Ratzlaff only one defeat.
Nordling then lost to Ratzladd, 81-
