Dr. White Joins The Seminary StaffOlivet Enrollment Boosted To 819 In Recent Registration

AS THE traditional fog of re-' gistration clears, a marked in­crease in the enrollment can be seen a t a time when 80 percent of the colleges and universities report a decline.

THE NET enrollment for this year has reached the total of 819, topping the high mark for the registration of 43-44, The net en­rollment for this semester has been determined a t 561. This figure includes 55 new students, some of whom are new to our school and others who have re­turned to finish work begun in previous years.

AMONG THE latter are two Buckeyes from Ohio: Arthur Grif­fith, who is working on his Th. B. degree; and Lowell Sparks, lately of the U. S. Army. From Indiana come Sarah Thrap, Ruth Garvin, and .Opal Lowery to continue studying begun in 42-43. Illinois has two - representatives, Geral­dine Darrough and Loleeta Ing- mire, while Michigan is repre­sented by Marie Riddle and Law­rence Wehmeir. Miss Marie Phil­lips comes cross-country from sunny Pasadena, California.

NEW NIGHT courses offered which prove of particular interest to teachers in Kankakee county are Consumer Economics, Public School Art, and typewriting.

Will Move To K. C. Latter Part of June

Dr. Stephen S. White, Dean of of the Theological Department, has resigned his position on the faculty a t Olivet to become a member of the faculty of the newly organized Nazarene Theo­logical Seminary.

DR. WHITE will orcer courses in Systematic . Theology, History of Christian Thought, Doctrine of Holiness, and Doctrine of the Per­son of Christ. Organized accord­ing to the customary four-day seminary week, classes will meet on Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs­day, and Friday. All seminars will meet on Thursday from 3:00- 5:00 p. m. At tha t time Dr. White will conduct a seminar composed for the most part of seniors, in “The Theology Of Kerkegiard." Other faculty mem­bers include Dr. L. A. Reed, Dr. R. V. DeLong, Mr. Ralph Earle, and Mr. Mendall Taylor. Dr. Ben­ner’s executive duties will no doubt keep him from the class­room this first year, but in sub­sequent years he plans to offer courses in Practical and Histor­ical Theology.

Thirty credits may be earned in one year, and first, second and third year students will be called Juniors, Middlei-s, and Seniors, re­

DR. STEPHEN S. WHITE speotively. Dr. Hugh Benner, pre­sident, estimated the enrollment for the year 45-46 not to exceed seventy-five.

DR. BENNER, Dr. Reed, Dr. DeLong, and Dr. 'White recently spent two days in Chicago pur­chasing about one thousand books of philosophical and theological content to be placed in the Sem­inary library.

These, with several thousand others, will make up the nuleus of what the seminary hopes will grow to be the greatest holiness library in the world.

Dr. and Mrs. White plan to re­move to Kansas City in June. This summer he will give part of his time to evangelistic conven­tion work. As much as he will be missed by the faculty and stu­dents, Olivet is happy to see Dr. White in this new position of in-

INFANTRYMEN ADD TO COMMUNIQUES

Chaney Assists In Liberation Of The FilipinosNETHERLANDS EAST INDIES: “Counter-battery fire silenced

enemy artillery.” That’s all the communiques say, but the infantry­men on whom those Nip guns were registered could add volumes.

THE INFANTRY’S best friendis the artillery, especially , the Field Artillery’s observation bat- taliions which spot Jap guns by

Esound ranging” with microphon­es and recording machines and in­tricate trigonometric calculations, from the sound of their reports alone, or, when their muzzle flash is visible, with surveying instru­ments. Then our own artillery smashes the enemy guns.

TWO SOUND ranging platoons have just returned) to 'the N. E. I. from Leyte, Philippine Islands, to rejoin their battalion. They had a third means of locating Jap guns, on Leyte, according to Lt. Benj. J. Stabile, survey offi­cer, New York City.

“THE FILIPINOS were an am­azing help,” says Lt. Stabile. “They told us where and how many Japs were, and they insist­ed on cutting through bush, jun­gle and forest for us jvith their bolos. While the Filipinos made our work lighter, the Filipinos brought us bananas, pineapples, eggs, chickens, hot food and na­tive wine, or ‘tuba’—a beverage

in a class by itself, right between dynamite and TNT. We recipro­cated with clothes for the men, whose clothing as well as most of the rest of their possessions had been confiscated by the Japs. The women had hidden American-4 style dresses against the day of liberation.

“The ringing of the church bells in Carigara brought us full realization of what liberation meant to the Filipinos.

THE PEOPLE poured into the streets, converging on the church. I t had been used by the Japs as a hospital, and they had cremat­ed their dead in the center aisle.' I t was one of the first Catholic churches to be freed, and I know that the ringing of its bells will be taken up by church bells the length and breadth of the Philip­pines, hearlding the return of the Americans.”

Sgt. Jas. P. Owens, Fairmont, W. Va., survey transitman in the same unit, which made its landing on the Tacloban air strip, relates another instance of Filipino co­operation.

“OUR TROOPS were moving steadily up Yeyte Valley, and our survey party was close behind. Passing through Tunga, we sud­denly found ourselves ahead of the infantry. Doors and windows in the Villages were shut tightly, and we imagined Japs behind every one. But on the outskirts of one barrio, we were joined by a band of boys, led by a Filipino who had served in the U. S. Army and spoke excellent English. They insisted on being our guides and security squads, so we gave them our carbines and let them comb the underbrush for Nips, while we worked unhindered.

“AMMUNITION IS so precious to Filipino guerillas, however, that when they chased any of the enemy into the open, they held their fire.

“Two or three Japs,” said one of the boys, *we use bolo. More, we use guns’!”

“THEY CALL us the eyes and ears of the Artillery,”* Sgt. Owen said, “but the way those Filipino reinforcements of our smelled out and knived Nips, we were defin­itely eye, ear, nose and ' throat specialists!”

Sgt. Robt. R. Swogger, pla­toon communications chief, Grin-

nell, Kansas, has a brother, Bill! who was taken prisoner on Ba­taan, and is now in Jap POW camp in Formosa. Veteran of Sarmi, Kakde and Hollandia, “the Philippines were the most excit­ing of all,” he says, “because of the people and how well they re­membered the pledge ‘I Will Re turn’ of General MacArthur. They spoke, dressed and acted much like people a t home. The farms, the culture and the architecture were all interesting to me.”

MEN NEWLY assigned to the battalion, all of whom left the States for duty overseas last September, includes Pfc. Freder­ick W. Chaney, survey computer! Olivet College ex-’44, Kankakee.

MRS. MURPHY SPEAKS TO WOMEN PREACHERS

The Daughters of Martha Ann Wine’s met in the Student Pray­er Chapel recently to hear Mrs. Russell Murphy speak on a top­ic entitled “What Is Expected Of Women Pastors.” Miss Carol Tooley sang, and a birthday-gift of flowers was then presented to Mrs. Wayne Donson, president.

Music Faculty Sing, Play At Mid-Winter Recital Recently

Filling the atmosphere with the melodious strains of such compos­ers as Beethoven, i.iozart, and Schuman, various members from the Music Faculty of Olivet Naz­arene College under the direction of Walter Burdick Larsen, pre­sented a recital in the college auditorium lately.

Mrs. Geraldine Hatton, pianist, appeared first on the program and also brought the program to a close with her beautifully ren­dered final group of numbers. Mrs. Dorothy Buss, violinist, gave the audience many thrills in her exquisite presentation of “Round of the Goblins by Bazzari. Miss Katheryn Zook displayed her us­ual fineness' of interpretation in The Lord’s Prayer.

A delightful touch of humor was provided by Mr. Ethington’s little boy, who recognized his father’s appearance by saying a- loud, “There’s Daddy!” Mr. Eth- ington responded by singing I Love Life. Miss Lois Kampe, pianist, displayed beautiful tech­nique in her rendition of Bagatel- es. Miss Blanche Garner, pianist, presented Hie Island Spell with an intense depth of feeling.

The services of Sunday, Feb­ruary 18, marked the close of a fruitful revival campaign under the ministry of Dr. R. V. DeLong, District Superintendent of the Northwest Indiana District of the Church of the Nazarene, and for­mer President of Northwest Naz­arene College.

The revival spirit began pre­vious to the services and was evi­denced by the blessings in the daily student prayer-meetings. Many prayers were answered and many souls converted during these evangelistic chapel talks and evening services. Scores have made complete consecration of 'their lives to Christian service. From the evidences of God’s hand upon us all, we can truly say, “surely the Lord hath been in this place.“

In the last service of the cam­paign, the Prayer Chest was open­ed, and while Dr. DeLong held the basin of blazing petitions, grateful hearts thanked God for answered prayers. All sorts of petitions had gone into the Pray­er Chest for special, united atten­tion: for the salvation of uncon­verted fathers or mothers, class­mates, and friends; requests for healing, and many others. Reports. are still being made of answers to prayers.

With a refreshed spirit, and quickened zeal, student and fac­ulty members take up school dut­ies, assured that the day of re­vivals is not past in Olivet.

Editorial...The following story is recorded

of Daniel Boone, th a t indefatig­able old pioneer and explorer. One day he saw new settlers passing near his isolated cabin. When he asked them where they were liv­ing, they replied.they were about seventy miles away. Boone turn­ed resolutely to his wife and said: “Old woman, we must move; they are crowding us.”

Even so, each student a t Olivet is crowded by the peoples of the far comers of the earth, and in a very real sense we cannot move. Our future is inextricably bound dp with theirs. Of neces­sity our mutual moral and spirit­ual welfare no less than our economic welfare force us togeth­er, while suspicious, prejudices, ignorances, motives of political and economic exploitation force us apart.

Only Christ can bind up the nations’ wounds and heal the broken-hearted. But as His em- missaries, we here in Olivet who profess the name of Christ must shoulder great responsibility, for Christianity is’ the antithesis of spiritual isolation. National isola­tion is alike impossible. We as prospective' leaders must fact squarely the fact th a t we are woefully ignorant of this world of ours, and are all too indiffer­ently challenged by our ignorance.

For this unfortunate state of affairs we are not to be altogeth­er censored, for we have come to youth and early adulthood in the interim between the old days of isolation and the new days of world community. This interim has seemed to come closer a t tim­es to revolution than renaissance, and even yet it would be dog­matic to declare that world com­munity will come without a ter­rific struggle. We all know that the events under way today are determining in a momentous way the “wave of the future.” Since this is a wave we all must breast if our service in life is to be as effective as it should be, let’s wake us to what’s going on about us, you and me!

The world demands it of us. Our nation will retrograde with­out informed citizens. An ignorant Christian is a shame to the Christ

Banish The Campus Pigeon

The campus pigeon must go! No one would think to look at this beautiful bird as it whirrs past fourth floor windows that, like the ra t among mammals, the pigeon among birds is cunning, destructive and filthy.

A recent report from the Illi­nois Bureau of. Public . Health reads that pigeons carry pneu­monia germs. For a person to handle a feather may mean long weeks of serious illness.

The evidence against the pigeon is, on the whole, overwhelming, and the present unfriendly atti­tude of the public toward it is reflected in our State laws.

Pigeons As FoodThere is no reason why thje

birds should not be shot, and plucked with hands carefully gloved. Their flesh is platablej and though their bodies are small, their numbers fully compensate for their lack of size. Birds that have been trapped may be kept alive in large outdoor cages, shel­tered from storms and cold, until they are wanted for the table. It is. unprofitable to keep them longJ however, for the quantity of grain or food they require amounts to more than half their own weight.

who grew up a t Nazareth which was situated a t the crossroads of overland carvans from all the civilized world and we can be sure this youth was quick to life about him. During his life he rubbed shoulders with the world. His teachings and para­bles are flavored strongly with a wide understanding of the cul­ture about him. So when He said, “I am the Way, the truth, and the life,” there was no underlying sanction of isolationism. When He said, “Go ye into all the world and preach the gospel unto every creature,3 the thought seems to be not only to go, and to preach; but implied seems to be the thought of being able to reach every person within our power. Surely wide understanding of man­kind will be useful then. Unlike the horseman, we cannot leap on our horses and ride furiously in all directions. But we can read and listen and think. We may never be pushed to the forefront as acknowledged leaders in the world, but our influence just as surely will be a strong effectual power in leaving the world a lit­tle better than we found it.

Ways to Pasture Lush & GreenBY CLIFF FISHER

“I am the door; by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.” *

What is a door? I t i s * a pas­sage; means of approach or access.” Consider the door leading into the fortress. The fort has a twofold purpose in that it is a place of safety and it also serves as an armory where implements of warfare are afforded. If a battle is being fought, suitable weapons to vanquish the enemy are obtainable; but if one is not able to fight, he can enter through the door and rest in security un­til danger has passed. I t is easy to . discern the spiritual implica­tion. Through Christ, those who are Christians can find grace to help in time of need and in Him they can find shelter. Many times David seemed to find shelter in the Almighty when he was hard pressed by the enemy. This is borne out by the.verse “The Lord is my strength and my shield.” Surely Martin Luther must have known Christ as a door to the fort when he wrote “A mighty

fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing.”

Consider next the door of the home, Its unrestricted use is for members of the family and by it those members have an entrance to the inner circle of love and fellowship. Through Jesus, ■ ‘the propitiation for our sin,, we have the privilege of being one of the inner circles. And through Him, “an advocate with the Father,” we have access to divine love and fellowship.

The words of Christ in the ini­tial scripture can be broken down into two parts. First, there is the door as a way to salvation—of we .enter we will be saved. Then the second part of the verse “and shall go in and out, and find pas­tures” seems to give us something that pertains to the living of our lives after being saved. Does not the word door take on a new significance as a way both in and out? This is important while we are still human and live on this earth. By going in, through pray­er and communion, we receive grace to go out to live and win. In for power, out with a purpose;

Scratch, scratch! A few days ago I overheard one new student say to another, “I feel sorta scratchy.” “So do I,” said-the other. And then an older student happening by warned them against P. I. “You better watch it,- pardner,” says he. But it was too late. Gene Leithauser, that little guy from Detroit, has a special interest in Harvey Doud—his sister. Ruth Garvin of Gary, Indiana, seems to find Wayne Welton to be good company. To the other new students we sa y * ‘Careful where you step. And we’re mighty glad you’re here.3

Congratulations to Don Wayland. Another couple to help Red and Katie count the days. I t’s a pretty sparkler too, isn’t it, Lor- aine? Frannie Bradley can count days too. Scratch! Guess what? Helen Rush is keeping herself busy at the sewing machine. The object—a wedding dress! To Dorothy Davidson we wish all the hap­piness. in the world. Glad to hear that Esther Leach made a trip south to see Dave between semesters. .

Those who are wondering about some of the boys who have re­cently left O.N.C. will be glad to know that Bob Clack is a t Kessler Field, Mississippi. We don’t have further information, but Marty Linquist receives mail postmarked from there. Leo Chance a t the last report was a t Jefferson Barracks, Missouri. Also glad to have seen Dotty and Harvey on the campus last week-end. Then, too, we all share with Rosellen the good feeling of seeing Chuck here again. Good luck, fellows!

Now, to make some new recruits scratch. Melvin Wilkenson and Carol Tooley are frequently seen together. Jim Tibbs and Estella Howard make a good couple too. We’ve heard rumors that link Jack Armstrong and Virginia Arnold. I wonder what’s what. Now watch them scratch! Essie Frost has turned her attention, from the office to Green and :Athletics. Lester Wheeler seems to be trying his luck again. How are you doin, Les? Or should I ask Bethel? Scratchy, isn’t it? But listen: Dean Chatham finds Isabelle William’s company quite favorable. Tm wondering why she eats a t Underwood’s Cafe­teria every evening? Bill Wright’s likes have turned from brunettes to blonds, a blond, haven’t they, Bill? More Scratchin!

Two couples not so new but steady: Seldon N utt and Lois Jady. Yeah, she met the family. I heard Robert Newman say he couldn’t see a friend of his Sunday afternoon because of a certain lady, name­ly, Ruby Winget. Good deal!

An interesting foursome we’ve seen of late is Gloria Piggot, Gene leithauser, Irene Clerico and Harvey Doud. Just good friends, no doubt! You might like to know, too, that Winifred Templin and Her­man Olson are looking that way at each otherK“Say, Winifred!, we find it difficult keeping up with you.”

Hats off to those who so successfully prompted open house. Con­gratulations to those who live in the rooms bearing the title of prize winners. We also send our regards to Ruth Anna as she lies in the hospital. We miss you, Ruth Anna, hurry back! Incidentally, Ruth and Kenny Sparks have exchanged pictures. Jim Holman is keeping up a good pace. Good luck. Jim.

I t’s been said that Bob Whitbeck, Irval Olson, and Bill Kempe are really swell fellows. They haven’t done much to be in P. I., but we will get them one of these days.

Patience, patients, Poison Ivy lurk where you least expect them. Even behind the Fiesta door. Heh, Heh, Heh! P. I. knows!

hi for sustenance, out in sacri­fice; in for strength, out for ser­vice.

Going in is important in the preservation and deepening of our own relationship with God and going out is important because of our responsibility to others, “not of this fold,” in order that they too can find the blessed Savior who said “I am the door; by me- if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out, and find pasture.”

Open House Attracts Hundreds Of VisitorsFROST-ROSE, REISER-WELTON

ROOMS AWARDED FIRST PRIZES

Brooms, mops, dusters and oth­er cleaning equipment were never busier than they were the week­end of Open House. The purpose of Open House? Why, the answer is quite obviously to get the dorm rooms cleaned at least once a year. I t works!

Buying sprees were quickly ini­tiated and new drapes, cut flow­ers, lamps, i spreads and many other necessary things mushroom­ed in divers places. Pungent smells of wax, polish and am­monia filled the dorm halls. Each dorm inmate was industriously cleaning with one eye to the dust­pan and the other to the neigh­boring rooms to see if they would be as pretty as his own. Clever was that boy or girl who pulled off a coup d’eta t in the decorat­ing of the room.

This year, under the careful leadership of Margaret Baker and Norman Bloom, tours were am- ducted in order to show the var­ious activities of the departments of the College. Approximately seventy-five of the three hundred tourists were visitors from Kan­kakee.

Nursery facilities were provid­ed for the younger set who were interested in toys more than pretty rooms. The guides included Eleanor Seharer and Irving Sul­livan, dining hall host and host­ess, Wilma Austin and Roger Ward; Cleve James and Juanita Dennis; Don Wayland and Lor- aine Main; Elbert Speckein and Helen Rush; Harold Meadows and Katheryn Wood; Edgar Scamma- hom, Mr. and Mrs. Wilbur Bee­son, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Frye and Mr. and Mrs. Ben Lemaster.

Miss Davidson and Prof. E th-j ington were judges whose deli­beration determined the prize-win­ning rooms. For their blue ribbon room, Gladys Rose and Essie Frost were awarded $3 in mer­chandise from the Maxine Shoppe. Mildred Click and Ruth Anna Griffith were awarded $2, for second prize.

The competition on the fourth floor ended when the first prize of a leather desk blotter and matching waste-can was awarded to Jay Keiser and Wayne Welton. The second prize of leather desk reminders went to Irving Sullivan and Seldon Kelley.

After viewing among other sights Prof. Strickler’s . pickled pig, and being “shocked” by lab assistant Eunice S tarr in the Chemistry Department, besides trekking miles over the campus and through the buildings, visit­ors were sorely tempted to dangle weary feet in the cool, green depths of the swimming pool The tour ended in the Dining Hall where refreshments were served under the genial beam of Chef Murphy, and the undulating melo­dies from the string ensemble.

Ludwig Offers Tip Toward Solving Of Peace Problem

Speaking1 on “How to Treat the Germans After Defeat,” Mr. Emil Ludwig, noted biographer, native of Germany, and citizen of Switz­erland, appeared on the Kankakee Community Forum program of Monday evening, January 29.

Worthy of note was his juxta­posing the American’s sense of fair play with the German’s pas­sionate love of force, command and obedience. Of particular in­terest was his belief tha t the Al­lies will be compelled to use retal­iatory measures in order to affect complete humiliation of a people who hitherto have never consider­ed themselves defeated in their aggressive designs to dominate the world.

Spring Comes To The Fair Store

With the tang of Spring comes awakened clothes sense, and what plan of action could have more sense than a hurry-up trip to the FASHION CENTER of Kan­kakee on THE FAIR STORE’S second floor. Why all the rush? Simply because we have the new Spring fashions in much earlier this year.

The girl in one of our dresses is the prettiest thing on the landscape, because our styles are flawlessly fashioned into the per­fect fit and from the gayest, most colorful materials ever seen, anywhere, and you have a choice of prints, pastels, or jer­seys.

If you want to please the male eye, don’t miss our array of suits, for a survey made by Glam­our Magazine showed suits for women’s clothes as the favorite among men. You can make them your favorite with the prices ranging from $19.95 to $59.95. You will see that the FAIR STORE has anticipated this de­mand for male-tailored and dres­sy suits, when you shop here and find every color, style and weave.

Then when completing your en­semble, you won’t be able to re­sist our coats that stand unrival­ed in beauty of weave and deep rich color tones. Match or mix your suit and coat with fluency and do your own translation; com® plement your outfit by blending various shades, or make a striking contrast — for points of first importance are color. Also an im l portant point to keep in mind is the reasonable prices as low as $22.95 to $59.95. »,

THE FAIR STORE has earned the name of Kankakee’s FASHf ION CENTER, because 85% of the study and selling is concen­trated on fashion. You can al­ways visit the second floor FASHj ION CENTER with confidence to find your choice in color, your favorite ' style, and your perfect fit.

ament of Germany, Mr. Ludwig proposed the instituting of an educational program w h i ch would begin with children five and six years old. Democratic principles as set forth by great German thinkers of the past (whose influence has been passive and ineffectual in determining the political affairs of Germany up to the present time) would be inculcated into the thinking of the German youth—the potential leaders of tomorrow’s Germany, thus paving the way for the es-. tablishment of a government indi­genous to the German people and for that reason effectual in plac- in Germany in its proper rela­tionship to other nations of the world.

A Favorite Lincoln Story

A young Virginia woman who wished a pass to visit her brother, a Confederate soldier and a pris­oner in the Union lines, was brought to Lincoln by old man Blair. He had warned her before­hand: she must not betray her Confederate sympathies. The Pre­sident bent toward her, searched her face and said, “You are loy­al, of course?” Her eyes flashed, met his gaze frankly, then, “Yes, loyal to the heart’s core^-to Vir­ginia!”

He kept his eyes on her face a moment, went to a dask, wrote a line, and handed her a folded pa­per. She bowed herself out with Mr. Blair, who was saying, “Didn’t I warn you to be very careful? You have only yourself to blame.”

She unfolded the paper and read words to this effect, signed by the President: “Pass Miss—. She is an honest girl and can be trusted.”

Guild Presents Life of Lincoln In Benefit Film

The English Guild brought to the campus, on January 30 and 31, Stephen Vincent Benet’s out­standing film Abraham Lincoln. Because of its merit, the Guild chose to share it with the entire school, and accordingly four showing, lasting an hour and a half each, were given to accom­modate all those wishing to see it. Professor D. J. Strickler con-: tributed his services by projecting the picture.

The film proved to be a real tribute to the Great 'Emancipator whose passion for humanity was portrayed by a high value placed on personality and life. The first part witnessed scenes of Lincoln’s birthplace in Kentucky and his experiences in New Salem and Springfield, Illinois. The second part dealt with his life in Wash­ington, the Civil War period and his assassination.

Those who saw the picture and sensed the high ideals and human values it portrayed felt a mes­sage pertinent to America and the world today.

The Guild anticipates their meeting of February 26, to be dedicated to the literary work produced by the race liberated by “The First American,” Abraham Lincoln. .

Louise McKinley Interprets Poem

Miss Louise McKinley presented to the Forensic Society a t their monthly meeting on January 30j in the College Chapel, the distin­guished reading, The White Cliffs by Alice Juer Miller.

The Forensic program for the evening of January 30 was open­ed by the president, John Hieftje, who presented Miss McKinley. By her interpretation of the poem could be realized the practical and spiritual fiber of the English people, the reason for England’s being and the reason why Mrs. Miller was so deeply stirred to make understandable to the many what England’s white cliffs of Dover mean as a symbol to the civilized world.

There were openings for new members into the society, thus plans were made for tryouts so new members could be accepted.

room in the south end of the par­lor. Miss McKinley and her com­mittee have spent many hours arranging files, addresses, and materials for the room, so that all you need to do is to come in, get the address card from the librarian in charge, and write your letter on the Victory Club Stationery.

Writing letters in one way we can encourage our boys, who tell us that letters are one of the greatest morale builders because of their personal character. Our service men and women write that they want to know all about the school and church, as well as the activities of the organizations. Every period of the day, a casual passerby can see scribes indus­triously drawing original valen­tines on V-mail or scribbling a cheery message to a distant pal. Often, the passerby turns in the door to use the free period to project himself and the good blessings of life about him to a buddy in Belgium or China or the Philippines. ‘ . Remember, “they’re counting on US” and that means YOU.

Indian Men Triumphant—Take First PlaceIn The Gym

andOn The Field

BY JOHN HIEFTJE

Now that the Society season is nearing its close, and figures and facts can be tabulated, it is very possible to determine quickly some interesting comparisons between the three athletic g-oups. On the fellows’ side of the ledger we note th a t so far the Spartans lead in total points with 179 to their op- poents’ 165. The Trojans follow after with 169 over 182 for the opposition. The Indians come next with 145 to their opponents’ 146. The lowest number of points made in one game was 16 made by the Indians, and the greatest number, 47, was made by the Spartans. One game was won by a margin of one point and a t the other ex­treme, one won by- a 15 point lead. On charity tosses, the In­dians have made 30 out of 58, the Spartans 29 out of 80, and the Trojans 31 out of 90. Pasko leads the Spartans with 5 for 10, Bloom leads the Indians with 10 out of 21, and Medcalf with 3 for 5, for the Trojans. Green with 23, Kelley with 21, and Fruehling with 20 lead the rest in personal fouls.

Turning now to the women’s records, we find that the Trojan women accumulated a total of 189 points, while the Spartans garner­ed 82, and the Indians 71. This gives the Trojans 36 more points than the combined total of Indians and Spartans together.

The Indians scored 6 points in one game, for the booby prize for lowest number of points to be amassed in a single game.

Betty Fruehling turned in the highest number of points for the women, 18 for one game. Marge Leitsch made eight points in every game with the exception of one in which she' made 16. Von Seegen has made a fötal of 9 free throws out of 16 which is a real average on anybody’s ball team.

These facts may be surprising and in some cases almost un­believable but as the old saying goes, “Figures don’t lie.”

In a basketball game that prov­ed to be a nip-and tuck thriller packed full of spills and what- have-you, the Indians battled to first place in the standings by defeating the Trojans 24-22.- A nervous tension, present through­out the game, kept the fans strenuously cheering most of the time.

Each man knew what a victory that night would mean to his team. For the Indians it meant first place, for the Trojans, a tie for all. After the Indians beat the Spartans 28-26 the Trojans duplicated the feat 31-19. The final round will begin tonight, and at the present time it looks as though the Indian men have a slight edge on) their rivals for the championship.

Two weeks ago in Friday’s game, Beatty was the Indian mainstay as he totaled nine points. The feat was duplicated by Coach Shaw of the Trojans as tame after time he shot from far out, the ball describing a high arch on its flight as it zipped through the nets. Close guarding held the score low. In the last few seconds of play, Fruehling sunk a basket which would have tied the game and made necessary and overtime period had the whistle not blown as he was drib­bling in. So the game ended, with the Indians notching a high coup on their feather bands.

Trojan Sextet Rallies To Win Sixth Victory

STANDINGSW L

Trojans ............ ................. 6 0Indians ................................ 1 4Spartans .......... ..................1 4

Looking back over the results of the last few encounters on the hardwood court, we find that the Trojan women are still undefeat­ed. In one game recently, the In­dians met the Trojans for a Tro­jan victory, 42-10. Fruehling, Leitsch, and Von Seegen were the high-scoring Trojan forwards.

In the Indian-Spartan game, the former came out victors by a 20-19 score. The points were quite evenly distributed, but Clerico’s two baskets in the closing man-9 utes chalked up the first victory for the Indian women this season.

With morale running high after this victory, the Indians went af­ter the Trojan scalps -in the next encounter. Trailing by only a few points in a nip-and-tuck battle, the Indians kept the Trojans wor­ried. The Starr sextet rallied in a last minute spurt, however, and when the whistle blew and the floor was cleared, the scoreboard read Trojans, 27,“ Indians, 23.
