The rules of the chase are:

1.    In honor of Dog Patch, all

chasers and chasees are asked to contribute to the festivities by wearing clothing appropriate to the occasion-the oldest and "wors-test."

2.    A good growth on the chins of the potential Lil' Abners would add interest. A prize will be awarded for the best whiskers.

3.    All that the gals have to do, to catch a man, is to get both hands on him, provided he is caught outside any building. (No loitering beyond the state line.) Not more than six gals may attack one man, and every man shall be on his own.

4.    All unmarried and divorced faculty members shall be eligible for the race.

All disappointed gals shall have a last chance at the left-over bachelors Friday night at the party.

There will be prizes for the best facsimile in Lil’ Abners and Daisy Mae, for the most unique couple, and for the best set of whiskers.

Cole, Kansas, Introduces Christian Amendment

Leaders of the Christian Amendment Movement at Topeka. Kansas. have been taking their story to the public through a series of radio broadcasts.

The movement is attempting to gain recognition of "the authority and law of Jesus Christ" in the United States Constitution.

Congressman Albert M. Cole of Kansas has introduced a Resolution into the House of Representatives proposing the Christian Amendment. His action follows that of a similar Resolution presented in the Senate last year by Senator Arthur Capper of Kansas, who did not seek reelection.

Three sections make up the proposed Amendment. The first would state that "this nation devoutly recognizes the authority and law of Jesus Christ, Saviour and Ruler of nations, through whom are bestowed the blessings of Almighty God."

Section two points out that the Amendment would not in any way infringe on the rights of religious freedom, freedom of speech and press or of peaceful assemblage.

Section three would permit Congress to provide a suitable oath or affirmation for citizens whose religious scruples prevent them from giving allegiance to the Constitution.

Leaders of the Christian Amendment Movement believe that the Amendment will put the U. S. government on a Christian foundation, made possible Christian decisions in courts, give Christian political leaders Christian support, help church and state work together against evil, and make conditions better for non-Christians.

John Sebastian To Give First Concert

The talent committee of the McPherson Community Concert Association Friday night selected the talent for the three numbers that will be given this season.

Originally the association planned to give four concerts, it was changed to three upon popular demand. The membership drive ended Friday night with the total membership only slightly less than last year's 779.

The October concert will be given by John Sebastian, scion of a prominent and wealthy Philadelphia banking family who is considered one of the two leading virtuosos on the harmonica. He is credited with lifting this lowly instrument to a full-fledged concert medium.

The November concert will be given by Ervin Laszlo, 17-year-old Budapest youth who was born in 1932. He was acclaimed in his New York debut this year as "undoubtedly to become one of the great piano artists of our day." Last year Laszlo won first in the international music competition at Geneva, where he competed against 424 contestants from 40 countries.

In January Virginia Mac Walters, leading soprano coloratura of the New York City Center Opera Company, will be presented. The last five years Miss Mac Walters has been known as one of the best American artists and she has given the Met some real competition for the first time since the death of the Manhattan Opera Company.

Sargent, Walker Assist Spec And Quad Staffs

Two freshmen, Peggy Sargent and Raymond Walker, have been chosen assistant business managers of the Quadrangle and Spectator respectively.

Cossack Chorus Appears Thursday At Bethany College

Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers under the direction of Serge Jaroff will appear in Presser Hall, Bethany College, Linds-borg, Thursday evening, October 13, at 8:15 p. m.

Bixby-Lindsays have student tickets for $1.00 plus tax and public tickets for $1.50 plus tax.

The history of the Original Don Cossack Chorus and Dancers dates from 1920 when, near Constantinople, a group of Russian soldiers gathered around a campfire, joined in an evening of songs of home.

Among the troops was Serge Jaroff, who had studied to be a choirmaster until the war made a soldier of him.

Believing that others might enjoy the deep-throated choruses of his comrades, he selected from the spontaneous singers the most impressive voices and welded tenors, baritones, and basses into an ensemble.

Before many yeeks he had a chorus of thirty men who, with a repertoire assembled out of their wide memories, sang with a new skill under his direction. Thus was born the Don Cossack Chorus.

They became the choir of the Orthodox Cathedral of St. Sofia, in Bulgaria. It was from there that they were sent on their first tour.

In nearly three decardes since, they have traveled more than two million miles, have sung in Europe, Africa, Australia, and North and South America. Since 1939 they have toured the United States annually. In New York alone they have been heard 100 times.

Dr. C. L. Reed, president of the Lindsborg Kiwanis Club, sponsors of the event, announced that proceeds from the concert will go into the clubs underprivileged children fund.

This Week - - -

October 7—College of Emporia, here.

October 8—S. C. A. Cluster Conference.

October 8—Fahnestock Open House.

October 11, 12—Fall Musi-cale

October 14—Sadie Hawkins Day

October 15—Wasleyan, there.

Townspeople may obtain tickets at the door. The admission will be 50c, including tax. Students will be admitted by their activity cards.

The cast remains the same as announced in last week's Spec with the possible exception of Earle Lapp playing the defendant, Edwin. This change may be necessary if Royce Beam does not recover from a bad cold.

The argument of the cantata is as follows: Edwin, tiring of his sweetheart, Angelina (Eula Wit-more), falls in love with with another. Angelina accordingly hails him into court for breach of promise. At the rise of the curtain the Usher (Vernon Nicholson), while enjoining impartially on the Jurymen, shows a definite partiality himself for the fair plaintiff.

Edwin (Royce Beam) explains that he simply happened to fall in love with another girl. Though both Jury and Judge (Harold Mc-Namee) indicate that they have had similar episodes in their own pasta, they have little sympathy for him.

After the Jury is sworn in. Angelina appears and immediately captivates all the men present. Edwin proposes various solutions, but in vain. He offers to marry her if he may marry his other sweetheart later, but her lawyer (Merrill Sanger) objects.

Edwin tries to dissuade her from wanting to marry him at all, saying that when he is drunk he would beat her.

Finally, the Judge becomes disgusted with the proceedings and offers a solution which is a surprise to everyone.

Members of the court will appear in traditional British court attire. The bride will wear a wedding gown. The bridesmaid will wear formats of blue and pink. Jury and chorus will be attired in modern dress indicating various walks of life.

"I Hear America Singing" sung by the Symphonic Choir and accompanied by Miss Bonnie Alexander at the piano and Mrs. San Romani at the organ will be the first number on the program.

The song cycle, "In a Persian Garden" will have second place. The four solo voices will be sung by Florene Messick, Laura Fillmore, Kenneth Graham, and Gil-ford Ikenberry.

Class Debaters Meet Oct. 10 And 12

College of Emporia's high-flying Presbies will take the field tonight against the dragging McPherson Bulldogs an overwhelming five touchdown favorite. C. of E. nudged de-emphasized William Jewell at Liberty, Mo., last week 20-14 as the Canines were snowed-under 64-0 at Baker in the worst defeat in the history of the school.

The Presbies, whom Ray Hahn, Bethany skipper, calls championship class, have been greatly strengthened by the addition of three regulars from last year’s squad that were previously not planned on. Eddie Hamada, allconference guard in '48, tackle Bill Smithe, and center Jack Ke-noa will be playing their first game for the Presbies this season tonight after abandoning previous plans to enter the University of Hawaii.

Tillman and Heckethorn Back In Shape

Injuries leave the Bulldogs lineup a question. Although Harry Heckethorn and co-captain Salty Tillman will be back in action after missing the Baker fracus, the status of Glen Pyle, Charlie Pete-fish, Ron Sullivan, and Don Stevens is in question. Stevens received a brain concussion in the Wildcat game, Sullivan an injured nose, and Petefish an aggravation of an old arm injury. Pyle missed most of last week's game after a head re-injury contacted in the Sterling contest. Coach Frosty Hardacre originally had fears that his best running back would be out for the season, but there are now hopes that he will see some action tonight.

If Pyle is unavailable then freshman Marlin Van Druff and Gene Arnold will probably do the fullbacking. Petefish and Kenny Newport will be at tailback.

Coach Murray Brown has lamented the loss of his first two quarterbacks, Dan Durand and Max Terhane. Both were hurt in the September 23 game against Marysville, Mo., Teachers which C. of E. lost 21-0. Neither appeared in the victory against Wm. Jewell last week. However, both arc expected to be back in play tonight. Durand does most of the Presbies' passing in the modified T offense.

C. of E. did not stir up an attack in their first game, but last week showed an improved ground game with halfback Jim Naughton and junior fullback Don Ek pacing the attack. The 210 pound Ek scored twice against William Jewell, and Naughton scored once on a 52 yards dance.

C. of E.’s weakness is apparently pass defense. In the 21-0 defeat to Marysville all scores were made by passing, and William Jewell scored twice in the first period on passes last week.

The linebacking at Baldwin was, too mimic an oft-repeated description, "stinking." George Holloway and freshman Howard Mehlinger have, shown steady improvement at the job this week and will probably get the defensive call.

Bethany, Baker Battle In Big Blowoff Tomorrow

This Week’s Games

Kansas Wesleyan at Ottawa.

C. of E. at McPherson.

Bethel at Sterling.

Baker at Bethany (Saturday).

Last week’s Scores

Baker 64, McPherson 0.

Kansas Wesleyan 0 Bethany 26.

C. of E. 20 William Jewell 14.

Ottawa 6 Missouri Valley 20.

Bethany brushed past their first hurdle for the Kansas Conference title as they bumped the Kansas Wesleyan Coyotes last Saturday 26-0. Sophomore Bill Carlson, brother of ex-Bethany stars Roy and Lawrence Carlson, was the big gun in the Swede tri-umps. He caught a Howard Price aerial in the first quarter for the first counter and also made another on a 37-yard scamper as the climax of a 99 yard advance. AllConference end Larry Bale scored the other touchdowns, one on a pass from Bob Gerard and the other on a freak play in which he received a handoff from the Wesleyan quarterback.

The Swedes can clear the second of three big hudles for the bunting this Saturday in the Bethany homecoming game against Baker. The Wildcats squashed McPherson 64-0 last week.

The third title aspirant, the defending champion Ottawa Braves, take on Wesleyan at Ottawa tonight as Wally Forsberg returns to his old stamping grounds. The Braves showed surprising strength as they held perennially powerful Missouri Valley to a 20-6 count at Kansas City’s Blues Stadium last Thursday. Although Ottawa has lost Forsberg as head coach and most of last season’s regulars by graduation and transfer, the Braves still have 19 lettermen including backs Bob Musgrave and pile-driving, Stan Hughes.

College of Emporia, a dark horse entry, took the measure of Williams Jewell at Liberty, Mo., last Friday 20-14. The Presbies play McPherson tonight.

Bethel, idle last week, meets Sterling tonight in the latter city in a battle that may be the tipoff on who will occupy the Kansas Conference basement.

Freshman Quartette Goes With Brammell

Mr. Ira Brammell will accompany the freshman quartette of Don West, Dick Wagoner, Earl Lapp, and Keith Allison to Lone Star, Kansas, October 9.

Probably no athletic aggrega-tion has ever stirred the imagination of this state’s citizens as did George Henry Sauer’s University of Kansas Jayhawks in 1946 and '47.

On paper there was no logic behind such an impression. In two years they lost three games, were tied two others. Except for Evans, a great player and a greater inspirational leader, the Jayhawks were just a collection of average, and less, players. They had no famous coach, intersectional schedule, or winning past.

In deed, if Kansas had been proselyting football players as long as Nebraska, Missouri, or Oklahoma, it certainly didn’t show in the records. For fifteen years the Jayhawks were the Casper Milquetoasts of the Big Six.

When George Sauer took over on Mt. Oread in '46, Jayhawk die-hards foresaw a glowing season. Nothing pretentious, mind you, but two or three wins, better than par for the usual course.

Things appeared glowing as they racked Iowa State 24-8 and nearly boat Nebraska. Then it happened. Tulsa beat them, not by one touchdown or even two, but 56-0.

After such a spanking a team ordinarily will lie down and play dead. Not those Jayhawks. That 56-0 score was the making of a team that was to be the catchiest copy in the midwest for two seasons.

Each Saturday after that the Jayhawks would go into a game as an underdog and come out with a dazzling last minute victory. The formula finally fizzled out in the 1948 Orange Bowl, but those hell-for-leather Kansans left Miami as agog as the whole Missouri Valley had been.

What was behind those gridiron Cinderellas? Ability? Probably not. But if that Jayhawk squad did not have the ability of Ray Evans, they all had a heart as big as Evans.

That is the secret behind great teams. It takes a lot of heart to bounce back from a lop-sided defeat, be it 56-0 or 64-0. Those Jayhawks had it. I wonder if anybody else has.

Bulldogs Humiliated 64-0

Baker University handed the McPherson College Bulldogs a humiliating 64-0 defeat at Baldwin, Kans., last Friday. It was the Bulldogs' 14th consecutive Kansas Conference defeat and the worst shellacking suffered by an athletic team in the history of the school.

Veteran backs Boyce Smith, Sherman Kolancy, and Rodney Enos led the scoring with two touchdowns apiece as the Wildcats scored with apparent ease.

Kolancy, a really great place-kicker, continued his extra point mastery. He got six besides a field goal to go along with his two six-pointers. Smith's second touchdown was from 85 yards out.

The Bulldogs never put together an offensive threat. They picked up 60 yards on the ground and completed but nine of 35

passes.
