Coyotes To Furnish Target For Tomorrow


Bulldogs Will Be Prepared For Fourth Conference Tilt

• Kansas Wesleyan University is the target for this year’s homecoming tomorrow night. The game will begin at 7:30 p. m. at the College Stadium.

The Coyotes will be tough, and the game will be a good opportunity for McPherson to redeem themselves after their defeat last Saturday by College of Emporia 28-0.

In their game last weekend,

Kansas Wesleyan smothered Ottawa University 53-0. The Coyotes have scored 116 points in their last two games and allowed their opponents only 0.

Starting his fifth season with KWU is Coach Gene Bissell. Last year he boosted the football team up to tie with, McPherson for second place in the conference, the highest ranking the Coyotes have had since World War II.

Coach Bissell is a graduate from Heidelburg College in Ohio, where he was twice chosen All-Ohio tackle. He turned down a Pro-football offer and instead earned his master’s degree from Western Reserve University.

His overall record in the previous four years is 15 wins. 11 losses, and 2 ties. Assisting the head football coach this season is Daffin ‘’Swede" Backstrom, director of athletics at KWU.

The Coyotes have 14 returning letter-men to the squad this year However, the loss of Bob Harris and ‘Toby'' Taburen. last season’s all-conference quarterback and halfback will have some influence upon the effectiveness of their backfield.

The past history of the two teams shows KWU has had 16 wins as compared to our 13. and between the two teams there has been 2 tics. Last year the Bulldogs pulled an upset when they defeated the Coyotes 31-12.

This season's contest between the two teams should be a fitting climax to the home coming celebrations.


Intramural

Intramurals have begun again this year with 14 teams in both the National and the American Leagues. An intramurals council has been set up to handle the teams. Heading the council are Bob Wise, Jerry McPherson, and Ed Sink.

Two weeks of practice games were played at the start of the intramurals. These games do not necessarily count in the final statistics. Following are the results of these practice games for both leagues;

B’s Beat Sterling


Two coyote pups were found by-three Kansas Wesleyan students who were cutting wheat on farm. This' incident, which took place in 1915, was the beginning of two college mascots. Hi and Ki.

Unhappy neighbors soon began complaining about the weird cries during their sleepless nights. Then, one fatal morning, duck feathers were seen outlining the coyotes' mouths.

Hi’s head was stuffed and placed in the Hall of Pioneers, the Kansas Wesleyan administration building. The coyote head was placed in the trophy case, where it customarily belongs.

The traditional mascot may be making an appearance on Macam-pus later in the week.


Gene Elliott, sophomore, scored two touchdowns to lead the Macollege B team to victory over the Sterling College B team here Monday afternoon.

In the second quarter Elliott intercepted a Sterling pass and ran it back 50 yards to score McPherson's first TD. In the third period he scored again on plunge from the 4 yard line.

McPherson's other touchdown came late in the fourth quarter when Ramon Navarro, also sophomore, plunged'over from the one - yard line.

The next gome for the McPherson B team will be next Monday afternoon. Oct. 22. against the Kansas Wesleyan B team at Salina.

On The Ballfield

By Vila, Likhite

It seems like every football coach's dream is to have a 200 pound line. With this he may be wonder how the Baltimore Colts of Pro ball feel about their 260 pound line of fighting furies.

They have had a slow start but with that good backfield headed by fullback Alan "The Horse" Ameche (everybody's All-American) they should start clicking soon.

The Detroit Lions who only won three games all last year are leading their respective division

and are still undefeated.

They apply their success to the decrease of injuries as compared to last year when some of the key players were out with injuries.

Their rookie crop this year, led by Hopalong Cassady (Ohio State) and Al Carmichael (SMU) have shown up pretty well. Veteran quarterback Bobby Layne is top form again.

Although the Chicago Cardinals had the best defense in their league last year, they could win only four games because of lack in offense.

But their youngsters showed well as the season ended. They are better than ever this year. They are leading their division ahead of the Cleveland Browns, and are still undefeated.

With a good backfield led by Ollie Matson they seem to be clicking well. .

Pro ball is made quite interesting by the presence in top players and devasting ingenuity. There players are big and strong and play their positions with ingenuity.

Their “all - out" effort makes this quite colorful to watch. The interest in this professionalism Is better than ever and the result may end up over the three million mark in attendance.

As the time posses, one is quite shocked to hear that basketball is close by. Practice has started already and one of the most colorful players to watch is Will Chamberlain of KU.

Since Wilt is a sophomore this year, he is eligible to play varsity ball. With his past perfor-


Home Ec Club Attends Workshop At K-State

The group toured through the Kansas State Home Economics Department. Part of the group was shown through a dormitory dining kitchen. The girls also saw the Student Union.


Home Ec Club members attending were: Ruth Davidson. Ruth Hanagarne, Irene Shull. Kathy Burkholder. Anne Keim. Jeane Shively. Joyce Berry, Anita Wise, Gwendene Reiff, and June McDaniel.

Sherland Ng was a guest. Miss Mildred Siek. the clubs' advisor, accompanied them.

C of E Wine 30 Games in A Row

College of Emporia racked up their 30th consecutive victory last Saturday when they beat McPherson 28-0. This also gave the Presbies their 25th consecutive conference win.

The predominant figure in the game was a C. of E. freshman by the name of Rusty Addleman; Addleman made all of the winning team's touchdowns and one of the extra points as well. Fehr kicked the other three extra points All four of Addleman's touchdowns were made in the first half, as the Bulldog defense sharpened in the second half and stopped the fleet frosh.

TD’s in First Half His first score was mode in the first quarter on a 5 yard plunge over the line. Fehr kicked the ball between the goal posts for the extra point.    

The other three touchdowns were made in the second period. The second TD was another 5 yard plunge by Addleman, and the third and fourth were made in long broken field runs of 58 and 48 yards.

McPherson's ground attack was somewhat incapable of gaining much ground against the strong Presbie defense. However, their passing Was fairly effective in that they completed 10 for 20 attempts for 68 yards.


mances he may be an All-American candidate. Only time will tell.

The scene will also go to the Big Ten for they have teams that arc one of the tops in the country. In other words, the Big Ten is not only a football power, but also a basketball power and in other sports as well.

Galloping Poll

By Free-For-All Ferris

(Editor's note) Last year the SCA sponsored the Women Pay All week, but since SCA no longer exists, it seems this year there may not be a sponsor for WPA. Thus extended research has been done to get the students' feelings on WPA.

The Galloping Poll is the poll that brings you all the opinions because it is the only poll that reads and swipes things from other polls and then reprints it.

The Galloping Poll is biased on public opinion because the writer never sees his story after it has been revised.

Our poll this week is based on the question, "Are you in favor of having W. P. A. Week, or are you against it?”

Our poll showed the following results: Those for — 97 per cent, those against — 3 per cent.

These were some of the opinions that were received:

"I’m for W. P. A. Week providing some girl asks me. Girl being some nice. cute, freshman.” — Inexperienced Senior.

"I'm for W. P. A. Week providing I can be certain my invitations will not be refused by some handsome, inexperienced senior.” — An Inexperienced Frosh.

(All interested persons contact the Spectator Office at once.)

I think W. P. A. Week would be a fair turn about of fair play in that girls would ask boys for dates and pay for the expenses. I should not be in favor of it, however, because it means a lot of late leaves.” — Miss Neher

"W. P. A. Week is the week we spend in the dorm." — Lyall Sherred.

"I don’t think the boys should have to pay the bills all the time."

—    Delores Wallace.

"W. P. A. Week does not work. For people who are going steady it is a sin. Girls Just don't ask. They’re as shy as the boys." — Disappointed and Disgusted.

"W. P. A. Week is a good thing. It puts the girls in the boys' place and vice versa, and in doing so helps each one to understand the others’ problems." — Gene Wenger.

“I think that W. P. A. Week is important for this reason: In the past few weeks of school the dating of Macollege has been almost nill.

"During this period there has been a girls’ club formed under the exquisite name of "The Dateless Droops of Dotzour.

"W. P. A. Week will give this particular club some sort of social function and also will give the girls of this club a chance to tell of their daring feats with the gentlemen of this campus.

—    James W. Van Blaricum. III.

(Later James gave another

statement at a press conference which in Fahnestock is called a "Bull Session.")

James said. "Those against W. P. A. Week are obviously broke and cannot afford to take the boys out on dates.

Late Bulletin: This quotation just came from the Dateless Droops of Dotzour. Their comment about W. P. A. Week was "Ahhhh” This comment translated means. "Look out! Here we come!" And with this I go over the hill.



Homecoming queen.

"I like People," she says can didly.

Sara Ann, a junior from South English. Iowa, is a home econ omics major and plans to teach cooking and sewing after grad uation.

Her activities have ranged from playing on the girls’ basketball team her freshman year to being Santa Claus at the Dorm Christmas party. This year she is secretary of Student Council, Home Ec Club, and A Cappella Choir.

In addition, she has been a member of MCA. Chapel and Church Choirs, Ladies’ Quartet, FTA, Dorm Council, and Players Club.

Her favorite leisure - time activity is being "creative" with her roommate, Marilyn Metsker. or listening to classical music on their Hi-fi set. Singing and sewing are her hobbies.

“Queenie." as she is now affectionately known to her friends, has a reputation for rescuing stray cats and for blaming her alarm clock when she is habitual-ly late to work in the morning.

She spent this summer trailhiking in Colorado and worked the summer before in Oregon canning peas.

Sara Ann will be crowned queen tonight at the Homecoming Banquet.

Mac Represents Half The States

Macollege family comes from all parts of the world.

Half of the 48 States and six other countries or territories arc represented in the student body this year.

Five students give Puerto Rico as their home, although two more Puerto Rican students now claim Chicago as their home. Three students are from Korea, and one each comes from Africa. Germany, Greece, and Hawaii.

Kansas students top the delegations from the states with a total of 107. Next with almost half as many as Kansas is the Iowa group of 56 students.    

Missouri is represented by 22 from the Show-Me state, and 16 have left the mountains and snows of Colorado for the broad Kansas plains.

Among the southern states represented are Oklahoma with ten. Texas with seven. New Mexico with two. Florida with one. Louisiana with one, Arkansas with one, and Mississippi with one.

From the north come five from Nebraska, nine from Idaho, four from North Dakota, two from Minnesota, and one from Minnesota, and one from Wyoming.

Illinois has sent five students and Indiana and Ohio two each.

From the extreme cast come five from Pennsylvania, four from Maryland, one from Virginia. and one from New York.







Don't Read It! . . .

Fancy Football Facts


By Norris and Carl

Recently it occurred to us that some of the students, especially the girls, may not completely understand the game of football. This distracts from the school spirit, and also results in some rather illogical yells such as "Slide yuh bum. slide!" coming from the stands.

Therefore. Norris and Carl present to you “Fancy Football Facts" as another in the public service series. Football is another spoke in the wheel of education. Without this spoke there would be nothing to do but study on Friday nights.

A football team always consists of eleven players, except for the Baker Special Formation, which includes twelve and is frowned upon by most referees.

To understand the game, it is important to know what the numbers on the players’ backs stand for. They do not stand for the players age or his telephone number as some people seem to think, but rather for his shoe and helmet sizes. Thus, a player with the number 90 wears a size nine shoe and a size zero helmet.

Before each play, the team members meet in a huddle to draw straws to see who gets to run with the ball. The quarterback holds the straws. When he runs out of straws, the coach has to send in a substitute with more straws.

Of the eleven men on the team, seven arc linemen, (not to be confused with the men with a line who frequent the walks to Dotzour.)

The job of the linemen is to knock down all the naughty boys on the other team who want to tackle the ball carrier and ruin all the nice plans of our team.

The object or the offensive team is to make a touchdown by carrying the ball over the goalline. (The team with the ball is called the offensive team, because that is what they arc to the other team.

The referee uses a chain to measure the distance of ten yards required for a first down. The chain is a carryover from the days when football games were so rough that only convicts were used for referees, and they were always brought to the field in chains. The suits which the referees wear also illustrate their direct descent from convicts.

The best place to sit to watch a football game is on the 50 yard line, except that it is a little dangerous because the players sometimes run into you when they aren't looking.

The next best place to sit is, on the opposing teams’ bench, because should you get a chance to steal the other team’s supply of straws, it would throw them into confusion and result in a victory for us.

And now. in clothing, we want to remind you to be in lots of it when you go to the game tomorrow night.




Neher Resumes Studies At Mac

Sophomore from Oswego. Kas.. Doyle Neher. came back to Macampus Sunday to resume his studies. He has been working on the Hermitage View form in Tennessee.

Since May 30. he and an older fellow have been rising at 2:30 a.m. They milked sixty cows twice daily on this dairy farm.

Doyle also helped to show cows at four fairs: Tennessee State Fair. Nashville. Tenn.; Mid-South Fair. Memphis. Tenn.; Pan -American Livestock Exhibit. Dallas. Tex.: Arkansas State Fair. Little Rock. Ark.

All the cows, with the exception of the one exhibited in Little Rock, Ark., received Grand Champion ratings.

Fee Will Attend Meet

Dr. Mary Fee. dean of women, will attend the Annual Convention of the Kansas Association of Deans of Women and Advisers of Girls. Oct. 26-27. in Manhattan.

One evening the association will be guests of the Kansas State Players production of "Six Characters in Search of an Author."

Read and heed the Spec ads.

One of the richest words in the English language is "home."

One of the sentences which is filled with great beauty and deep sentiment in any language, is: "I have come home."

For the husband who has been separated from his family for a while on a business trip, this sentence ends the trip with joy.

For the soldier who has traveled in dangerous places and been through many battles, this sentence brings to an end an episode which often was an agony and a nightmare.

For the student who has been, away to college, and now a vacation has come, this sentence is filled with meaning.

For the college graduate who has found at the college a sense of direction which gave him a commitment in life: a companion who made his home joyous and rich; an education which undergirded his later growth and further studies; a host of friends who have stood by him through the ups and downs of life: the word "homecoming" is filled with meaning.    

The sentence. "I have come home." holds special meaning at homecoming time.

As he comes "home" to the college this year, again it is our hope that he will meet his former friends, talk with his teachers. walk in familiar places, and feel at home.

We who are the students arc on the other end of homecoming. We are already here: it is those returning who arc coming home.

The homecoming is never joy-

Extra Quads Available To Be Used As Gifts

"A yearbook would make a nice present for a student’s parents or grandparents.” says Anne Keim. editor of this year's Quadrangle.

"Students usually take their yearbooks with them and their parents don’t really get to look them over. Grandparents, too. are interested in seeing what is going on at school and what their grandchildren did."

Any student who is interested in ordering a Quadrangle for a gift should see Norris Harms before Nov. l. Cost for these annuals is $5.



ous unless those who arc at home greet the home-comer expectantly. courteously, and joyfully.

Let us have the home well prepared for the return of the home-comers. Let us greet them: let us mak them feel that we arc glad to see them; let us make them welcome.

May this be a great homecoming for all of us.
