HomecomingBeloit Game and Parade To
morrow ; Dance in Evening
By Jack Rudolph
After the usual whirlwind of com
mittee meetings, telephone calls, and
purchases, the plans for the 1927
Homecoming have been completed,
and the celebration, the biggest of its kind to be held at Lawrence, is slowly
getting under way. The first event
on the program, a pep meeting in the
chapel, was conducted this morning, and everything points to a high water mark in enthusiasm.
General chairmen: Lloyd Mills,
Marielle Edens.Publicity: Ray Richards, chair
man; Jack Walters, Mary Greg
ory, Helen Upham.Grounds and tickets: Alois Fischl
and Donald Babcoek.Appropriations: Douglas Hyde,
Gladys Rvdeen, Carl Thompson.House decorating: Burton Behling,
chairman; Ernest Enquist, Marian Worthing.
Parade: William Verhage, chair
man; Jeanette Jones, Alex Hunter.
Pep Meeting and Frolic: Kenneth Dean and assistant cheerleaders,Mary Morton, Marjorie Lockard, Amy Howser.
Alumni: Helen Kneebone, chairman; Leora Calkins, Miriam
Russell, Donald Hyde.
“ Blondy” Maesch’s music, plus
Jimmie Archie’s familiar tenor voice furnished the music for the meeting,
while yells were led by Kenneth Dean and his corps of cheerleaders.
This afternoon the Appleton Boosters’ club, ritzy for the Knothole gang,
will hold a pep meeting in the chapel at four o ’clock. The youngsters have

Homecoming Parade To Be Graced By
A ll College Band
Everybody on the old band wagon!
And Saturday morning in the Home
coming parade as Mr. Moore swings his baton, wild toots from the cornet, piercing squeaks of the flute with
answering gurgles on the clarinets,
wails of the saxophones and measured beats of a big brass drum, will an
nounce to the world that Lawrence has a band and that i t ’s “ on the old
band wagon.’ ’
The hearts and feet of loyal Law- rentiana will beat time to its music with unusual enthusiasm, since this will mark the first appearance of a
Lawrence band in several years, last year’s attempt to organize one having met with little success. Those who gave up chewing gum and “ True Story” to give money to help the
cause need worry about those shekels no more, nor continue to feel that their sacrifice was in vain.
It is especially fortunate that the
band materialized this year, for now
the “ singing Vikings’ ’ will not lack
au accompaniment as they wax tuneful on “ After the Ball is Over” . And
the body of freshmen, bright and resplendent in their garb of green, wrill be kept in step, as they march along,
* by a lively martial tune.A number of the Lawrence songs
are being arranged for the band and these will be played throughout the game.

Advance Ticket Sale For ‘The Silver Cord’ To Open This Week
Theatre Guild Production To Be Pre
sented at Chapel on De
cember 14
Advance sale of tickets for “ The
Silver Cord” , a three act comedy to be staged in the Lawrence Memorial chapel by the Theatre Guild Repertory company of New York on December 14, is now open. Tickets may be procured from Dan Hardt at the college office.
For the first time'in its history, the Guild, one of the foremost dramatie
organizations of the country, is extending its activities by sending out a touring company. They are now ap
pearing at the Studebaker theatre,
Chicago, where enthutiastic audiences fill the theatre nightly.
Alexander Woolcott, dramatic critic of the New York World says of the
Guild, “ If it were decreed that for
five years I would have to confine my playgoing to one theatre but that I myself could name the theatre from
among all those now in America or
the British Empire, I would unhesitatingly choose whatever playhouse
was being made the home of the
Theatre Guild.”
Successful Comedy
Sidney Howard’s comedy “ The Sil
ver Cord” , which is to be produced in Appleton, is one of the Guild’s biggest successes. Gabriel of The Sun says, “ It is a play for the mature;
the unafraid; and to them it guarantees an evening of excitive truths and rare dramatic instinet. ”
Florence Eldridge, who has played leads in such w-ell-known plays as
“ Six Characters in Search of an Author” and “ Ambush” , and George
Gaul, who played the lead in the past
seasons in “ Seventh Heaven” , will
play the leading roles. They will be
supported by Molly Pearson, Erskine
Sanford, Hortense Alden, Frederic
March, Lawrence Cecil, Dorothy Fletcher and Leonard Loan, names fa
miliar to theatregoers everywhere.
Enthusiastic receptions and favor
able publicity accorded the Guild
players in New York and Chicago
auger well for the success of their
Appleton appearance.

Withdrawal of Lawrence
From Wisconsin-Illinois
Conference Is Announced
Henry M. Wriston
Cultivate Purpose, Is Message Of Upshaw
“ Have a purpose linked to God and you will come out a winner” was the
keynote of a chapel talk given Thursday by Mr. William Upshaw, former
congressman from Georgia, who has been lecturing throughout the state
under the auspices of the Anti-Saloon League. Mr. Upshaw whose motto is
“ Let nothing discourage you, never give up” has exemplified these words by his own life, for he was an invalid
*¥or seven years and did not enter college until he was 31.
Lack of purpose has characterized most of the college students with whom he has come in contact and he
does not believe that ten out of a hundred have a worthy ambition. He
urged the students to be unaffected, for a “ genuine love of the genuine is characteristic of the winner, and, like
counterfeit money, if you are not genuine, you will not pass.”
He touched briefly upon the menace of bootlegging, saying that “ One who patronizes a bootlegger is an enemy of
the country” and that the educated person who does it has no ideals.
He quoted from “ My Vision” , a
poem which he wrote when he attend
ed Mercer University in Georgia, and which is on the dedication page of
“ Clarion Calls from Capitol Hills” a collection of his speeches given before
the House of Representatives. He has
presented an autographed copy of the book to the college library.
Josephine Work, ’31, has been a
patient at the infirmary the past week
due to injuries received while horseback riding last Wednesday.
PROCLAMATION
To the Students and Faculty of
Lawrence College:
Homecoming has become a
tradition worthy of its name.
Its values have been recognized
by undergraduates, and faculty,
and alumni.

that day is set apart as a holi
day at our college.
Henry M. Wriston.
To the Citizens of Appleton:
Lawrence College has desig
nated October 28 and 29 as
Homecoming days. These are
days when all graduates and

make a special effort to return
and visit their Alma. Mater.
In order to cooperate w ith the
college in making this a suc
cess, and have the visitors carry
away a kindly feeling for Ap
pleton, I am asking the mer
chants and manufacturers and
a ll citizens to do every thing
possible to make these two days
enjoyable for a ll visitors, and am asking that all buildings
display decorations suitable for
the occasion.

Interest of College Will Be Centered In Midwest
League
After being a member of the league
since its organization, Lawrence has
withdrawn from the Wisconsin-lllinois athletic conference. This decision was reached at a meeting of the athletic
Board of Control Wednesday afternoon. At the same time, Ripon college, another charter member of the
conference, has announced its withdrawal. This will leave the league with three team**, C’arroll, Northwest ern, and Lake Forest, and virtually means the breakup of the “ Little Five” after many years of activity.
Both colleges have announced their reason for dropping out as a measure
to center interest in the Midwest con
ference, composed of Wisconsin and Illinois colleges, of which both Ripon and Lawrence are members. As a member of both the W-I league and
the Midwest wheel, Lawrence is
forced to divide the interest of the schedule, and is unable to make participation in the Midwest conference worth while. By playiug four Wis
consin-lllinois games, the Blue and White has been unable to play enough
games with Midwest opponents to be considered in line for the championship. Ripon has withdrawn for the •ame reason.
The Wisconsin -Illinois conference,* or as it is called, the “ Little Five” , was organized almost twenty years
ago. At that time Lawrence, Beloit, Ripon, Carroll, and Northwestern colleges were members, and it was known as the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Ath
letic Association, its members annual
ly deciding the state collegiate title among themselves.
In 1924, Beloit college withdrew from membership, and the roll was
cut to four teams, although the Gold
and Blue have continued to meet conference members each season. These four colleges functioned through two
seasons, and last season Lake Forest
was admitted to membership, the
name being changed to the Wisconsin- lllinois conference. In the last six
teen years Lawrence has captured ten championships of the conference.
Movies and Radio W ill Perpetuate Homecoming Dance
The great homecoming dance will
be no footprint in the sands of time,
but rather the pedal impression of a
giant centipede. Movies will perpetuate the daters, who, from the vantage point of a theater seat and another date, will be able to see their antics
and each other on the screen. While they dance to the til-tillating rvthm of the Lyric Ramblers, obtained for the occasion from the Wisconsin Roof
Gardens, Milwaukee, the folks at home can listen in on their radios and
hear the music to which their children “ step.”
Elaborate decorations by the Novel
ty Decorating Company of Appleton, will transform the gymnasium into a
true De Mille version of a college
prom, and special features of musical
numbers and vaudeville will inject some true “ big time” atmosphere into the picture.
WTith the ultra-modern forces of the
movies, the radio, the roof garden
orchestra, and highly trained decora tors, the homecoming dance promises
to be like a dish of caviar on the pork and gravy menu of college life.

THE L A W R E N T I A N Friday, October 28, 1927
Italian Trip
Completed By
Ellen TuttonLawrence Good Will Student
Tells Of Italian Country Life
“ Tut'
Two (lavs in the great grape vine
yards picking and eating grapes with
the I t a l i a n
peasants, jab
bering and trying to under
stand Italian, and h e lp in g the l i t t l e
bambini climb
the ladders to
eut off the largest bunches
which were al
most too heavy fo r them to
hold in their hands has been a very happy experience. Country life is quite
different from that in America. They use lovely white oxen to draw their
carts, the women work right along with the men, they wash the clothes on stone washboards in the river, all
go barefoot, the chickens and birds
are friendly kitchen company, and the
Hies are quite at home everywhere. One is conscious all of the time that
these people are very happy and one is welcome to share whatever they have.
At tht* end of each day they gave us all tin* grapes we could carry home even though by that time I was hard
ly able to “ look one in the face” .
Wine in the making has killed all desire which I might have had for it in the glass. I even threw in a few*
hugs myself for good measure.Country Life
This lovely country life on the banks of the Arno where the autumn
crocuses are blooming, where the olive
and cypress trees cover the little
mountains, where the tiig and peach
trees are drooping with fruit, where “ le bon soleil” makes the days like those of June back home all seems a part of another existence from that
lived in the grand old Certosa on the high mountain overlooking it all
where a silent order of monks send up
their prayers every night from 12:00
to 2:00 o’clock, where they never speak to each other exeept on feast
days and Sundays, and where each
lives in the humblest cell with only a
table, a chair, a bed, and a fresco of the Christ on the wall. All this gave
me much to think about as we climbed
up among the crocuses to eat our lunch
after using the family wash basin—
the river. As we sat down the little lizzards dashed in every direction, and although it gave me a shiver or
two at first, I soon learned that they
were much more afraid of me than I
was of them.Explains Purpose
It w’as difficult to leave Geneva
where I had made friends and where I had been so very happy, where I could understand and was able to
make myself understood, and where
the people seemed to be kindness it
self. On my last Sunday there I was invited to dine at the home of the President of the Geneva School of International studies. This gave me an opportunity to explain more in detail
just how I happened to be there this summer. They were very much in
terested in the step taken by Lawrence College and they are very anxi
ous that a student be sent to them

next year. This year I was the only student from Wisconsin and one of three from the whole Middle West. The school seems immensely worth
while to me and'offers the best that can be found in the way of orienta tion for the foreigner. Geneva is
enough Americanized to furnish a gradual step into European customs
for the American who is anxious to
enter into those customs wholeheart
edly. There was some dissatisfaction in the school this year with the students from America who apparently came for a summer’s outing, who at
tended classes at their leisure, who made no effort to enter into t)ie spirit of the school, and who became more
Americanized than when in America.League of Nations
The work for the summer closed
with two weeks on the League of Na
tions during w’hieh time we were permitted to attend many of the as
semblies. The sight of that Assembly
opens fields of thought that could keep one busy for a life time, and to hear Lord Chamberlain try to defend the English Navy in the face of the great
German, Dr. Stresemann, opened a field of thought for another lifetime.
When I heard the President of the
Swiss Confederation accept, in the name of the League, the gift of two
million dollars from an American for the construction of a library for the
League I had a strange feeling of
humility. Each time a speech is given
in the Assembly it is translated into
two other languages, which may give you some idea of how slowly the work
of the League must progress. It may also give you some idea of how* important it is for those of us in college to “ make hay while the sun shines” oi in other words, get a good grasp of
our foreign languages while we have the best opportunity in the world. It is very interesting to note that the
Germans always understand either
English or French even though they may not speak perfectly. However, they are always willing to try on the slightest provocation, which is more than can be said for the English and the French.
Florence, “ The City of Flow’ers” , is a charming place and each day I am
liking it more and more. The University proper is closed during the early part of October, but I am having an
Italian lesson every afternoon from an instructor, and the mornings I
spend in the picture galleries and the
cathedrals. There are two small Eng
lish libraries in the city where it is possible to get some very good books on Italian art.
Florence Churches
Some of the churches quite take my
breath away, as do the original paintings of which I have seen copies and have heard about all my life. I think
Professor Fairfield has been here twenty-five times, and now I under
stand why. For those of you who still
have the opportunity it would be wise to build a background for the appre
ciation and the understanding of these
lovely things in the world. While I
w-as in a French class at the Univer
sity of Geneva I was asked to write

Friday, October 28, 1927 THE L A W R E N T I A N 3
FIRST CO LLEG E PAPER WAS PU B L ISH E D IN 1867Early College Paper Called
Neoterian”44
By Carroll McEatlunn
Volume One, Number One of the
Lawrence Collegian, the forerunner of
the present Lawrcntian, was published
in December, 1867. It was a small eight page monthly paper printed in Milwaukee and was established as
“ a means of cultivating and improving our literary ability. “
Lawrence University, “ an institute of learning for both sexes,'* in those «lays had a faculty of seventeen and
an enrollment of two hundred and
seventy as compared with the hundred and forty students of the University of Wisconsin.
Tearful short stories and musings on
politics, the wonders of chemistry,
physics and astronomy, comprised the subject matter. Criticism of other
papers was freely given and taken. More than one editorial used synonyms of “ n itw it” and “ hypocrite“
to good advantage.
Advertising
Advertising was in its infancy as is shown by the following examples:
“ Miss liimebaugh will not be un
dersold. Her whole stock is to be sold out at old fashioned prices. Call while they are going.“
“ The many friends and patrons of
\V. S. Cleggett take notice! He has
moved his Shaving Saloon from No.
73 Coll. Avenue, and is now situated two doors south of the American express office. ’ *
The nearest approach to anything
contained in our Dustpan was:“ The College Courant gives us to
understand that Northwestern university has a GIRL. Selah!“
In 1871, realizing the folly of attempting to make a college paper suc
cessful as a literary monthly, notice was given that “ abstract essays and political blasts were not in order.“ The editor proposed to have discussions on the curriculum, college ex-
penses, and woman suffrage in the
college. The paper then had twenty
smaller pages, with two columns to a
page. It was published in and was put out by the Collegian company of
which all shareholders were students
and only students were on the staff. The wit improved some for the following appeared:
It was a young lady in an Eastern
academy of music who wrote her
I'. S. thusly: “ You must exkews this letter as I pla bi noat butt spek bi ere. ’ *
Name Changed
In 1878 the name was changed to
Neoterian and in 1880 to Collegian
and Neoterian. As there had been
charges of fraternity or society politics in its editing, its management was placed in the hands of Athena, Law- rean, Philathean and Phoenix, the
literary societies which were the fore
runners of our fraternities.For a time the publication of the
paper was allowed to lapse, but editions wer# printed in the last two
months of the college year in 1883. The publishing was put in the hands
of the Lawrence Paper association and since then the Lawrentian, as the paper was called, has been issued continuously.
Checkered Past
The Lawrentian varied with the times and with its staff. “ Theological dissertations and metaphysical dis
quisitions" are prevalent in some is » sues and noticeably absent in others.
Some issues abound with flowery
scroll-like headlines while others have
scarcely any headings. In 1880 we find the forerunner of the sport section in a half column write-up telling that “ Our Base Ball team has had
grand success.“ In 1893 pictures of
the glee club and the “ Athletic
Team“ were printed on smooth-faced
sheets and were attached to the issues. In place of the editorial duns
the words “ in advance“ were print
ed after the price which was one dollar for the nine issues.
The Lawrentian Association took over the management of the paper in 1897 and two years later it eam^'oot in ordinary book size but of thirty- four pages. Ads became fewer for a

time, and separate departments took
care of each class of news. Later short stories took up a large portion of the paper. In one issue sixteen of the twenty pages were occupied with
one story. News of the activities of
debating societies was supplanted by that of fraternities.
Radical changes came in 1903. The
staff was limited to two seniors, two
juniors, one sophomore, and one freshman. For a few issues the paper was
a bi-weekly but soon changed to a semi-monthly. The price was raised to a dollar and twenty-five cents per year. For six or seven years the col- lege grew rapidly and its growth was mirrored in the growth of the Law rentian. Ads, jokes, cuts and car
toons resembling those of today made
their appearance. News items were
occasionally illustrated by cartoons. Departments were headed with sketches. Special numbers, smaller
and bound with heavy paper covers made their appearance about 1906.
Dedication of Carnegie Library, Foot
ball, Freshman, Coed, Glee Club were special numbers. Due issue was a
mimic of the Ariel.For a year the quality of the paper
lowered and it became a monthly with fewer cuts, ads, and jokes.
1910 was the beginning of another period of growth. The price was raised and a twelve page weekly was issued. The first issue was printed in green in honor of the new tradition that
Two awards will be made for the
houses best decorated for homecoming, according to Burton Behling, ’28, chairman of the house decorations
committee. One cup will go to the
best decorated dormitory and the
other to the most attractive fraternity house.
The first judging will take place
about five o’clock Friday afternoon,
while the second judging will be held
after dark, as the final decision will be made on the basis of appearance during day and hight.
freshmen were to wear the green. The following year the paper came out as an eight-page, three-column weekly
about two-thirds the size of the pres
ent Lawrentian. Headlines resembled those used today. The Lawrentian
room was changed from the second floor of Science hall to the basement
of Main hall. Office hours were established and the room was open for
eight hours a week. To gain a posi
tion on the staff five accepted editorials and a number of poems, stories
and essay8 had to be handed in. For three years special, small, bound Thanksgiving, Freshman, Coed, and
Commencement numbers were issued.
Resembles City Paper
The Lawrentian of 1915 resembled ii. form a eity newspaper. The paper
grew from eight to twelve, then sixteen pages of four columns each. Its
staff also came to resemble that of a
newspaper. Separate departments with
distinet functions were organized. Re
porters were given assignments instead of searching out their own news.
Since then the number of columns
has increased to five and in 1925 to
six. In 1926 the paper became a
semi-weekly, and the number of pages was reduced to four.
The Lawrentian iias stabilized' the policies aad ideals of the college by printing its platform, which varies with the needs of the college, on the editorial page.
Wallstreet Is Described By Stock BrokerA vivid picture of the New York
Stock Exchange was brought before the student body of Lawrence college at convocation on Tuesday morning,
when Jason Westerfield, chairman of
the publicity committee of the New
York Stock Exchange, addressed that group.
The chief business of the exchange,
as Mr. Westerfield pointed out, is the accumulation of credit and capital in one great useful unit. That is the justification of a Wall Street, the'mar
k^t place of the nation. This ex
change of world wide renown, is an
evidence of our prosperity, progress, and domestic tranquility. “ These three characteristics of American
society,“ explained the speaker, “ can
not be explained by the natural resources of the country or by the vast
number of people, for while Russia
has these latter attributes, it has not the former. Our wealth is due, how
ever, to certain social and moral activities, which taken as a unit portray our ability to cooperate.“
In conclusion Mr. Westerfield said, ‘ ‘One hundred years ago we were no
farther advanced in respect to transportation and communication than the early Egyptians. Today we have
harnessed the forces of nature. We have transferred the burdens from
muscle to mechanics. Today, we are The foremost business center in the world.“

HOMECOMING
A spirited pep meeting in the ehapel this morning ushered in what will probably be referred to in coming years as “ the greatest homecoming Lawrence college ever had.” Elaborate preparations during the past few weeks by members of Pan-Hellenic and Blue Key will be brought out over the week-end, when returning graduates will be treated to a gala succession of events, already under way, which will reach their climax with the annual homecoming dance in Alexander gymnasium tomorrow night.
The celebration includes a big parade tomorrow morning, in which all campus Greek letter organizations will be represented, a torchlight parade tonight down the main streets of Appleton, and the Beloit-Lawrence football struggle at Whiting field tomorrow. When the proceedings have come to an end, Lawrence alumni will have had another opportunity to see the college life at its best, and to witness once more the familiar scenes of their undergraduate days.
Perhaps the most enjoyable feature of any homecoming celebration is the memorial sensations which it transmits to the returning alumni. The atmosphere of a college dance, the spirit of a football game, and the interest which the alumni must take in the entire reunion program, all reawaken an interest in the college; and it is this interest which the alumni attempt to capture upon their return to Lawrence.
The students and faculty of Lawrence college are watching with interest the enjoyment which it is hoped the returning graduates will take in their homecoming. In a very few years most of the present undergraduates will themselves be returning to their former school. The interest which all students are able to display towards the 1927 homecoming is a reflection of that which they recognize in the alumni, and which they realize will be their own sensations a few years hence. j ^ . i M
GOING UP
Interest in homecoming proceedings has been accentuated by the sudden, and unexpected withdrawal of Lawrence college from the Wiseonsin-Illinois conference, after being an active member of that athletic organization for nearly twenty years.
The change implies that in the future Lawrence will book more Midwest conference teams, and will be considered seriously in the running for championship honors in that league. Ripon, with Lawrence, has considered it unwise to divide its football activities between two conferences, and the two colleges will henceforth bend every effort towards achieving excellence in the larger wheel.
Lawrence is honorably withdrawing from participation in the Wisconsin-1 Uinoise league, after having won ten of its six championships. Highest rating in the Midwest conference has rested in Appleton but one year, when Lawrence kept its Midwest slate clean in 1922, a net was awarded the title.
With the booking in gridiron contests of such schools as Carle- ton, Coe, Cornell, Knox, Monmouth^and Hamline regularly, blue and white football stoek is bound to elimb. It is assumed by interested “ fans” that Lawrence will continue to engage Beloit and Ripon, both of which are members of the Midwest conference.
The change may usher in the greatest age of football prosperity the college has ever known. With a large group of undergraduate stars on this year's team, a very few seasons may see the development of a series of great football elevens. —Jack Walter.

TRUE DISCIPLINE
e will see to it that you have freedom, ” President Frankstated in his address to the freshmen at the Varsity Welcome; “ you must see to it that you achieve discipline. Discipline is not something imposed upon you by the university. That sort of discipline is nothing more than police regulations. A discipline that is imposed is not discipline; it is regimentation; and against the regimentation of minds the true university flees as from a plague.”
—The Daily Cardinal.
“ You cannot, if you are to be strong, flit from one adviser’s solution to that of another, and finally settle upon one of them. You must create, as a new creation of your own, your own solution.”
—Benjamin Ide Wheeler.

he wears a uniform, opposing plavers will step aside and allow him to pass.
He will drop box on other side of line,
scoring a touchdown.
Form number 2: Deflate ball; hide same under eoat; take thirty seconds
out, carry ball across the line, wait
until time is called. Touch ball to ground. Touchdown is scored.

tain on the 1927 festivities. The com
mittees in charge have been at work for weeks on the preparations for this

A new table has been placed in the circulation room for many interesting
new books on varied subjects.
OPINIONS
A great divergence of opinion as to
what is the most important feature of
homecoming is evinced by the several
replies which have been given to that
question.
President WTristor: “ I like the idea
of Homecoming. The thought of Law
rence as a home, to w’hich those who
have been here may return, is a graci
ous thought in itself. It suggests some
of the values w’hich come from college
life. It brings definitely to mind the
loyalties that grow, and ^ud, and
blossom, and bear fruit. It emphasizes the continuing interest in the
work and progress and fortunes of the college. It brings opportunity for renewal of old ties, for refreshing of
old memories, for new’ information as to new plans, for inspiration as to fu ture hopes.
“ Coming at a colorful and bracing time of the year to an occasion color
ful and joyous, the alumni find not only diversion from ordinary tasks,
not only enthusiasm for the team and its efforts, but a warmer appreciation
| of the function and place of the college in life.”
Ray Richards, ’28, chairman of the Homecoming publicity committee: “ The thing that interests me most is the alums who come back. I like to
hear howr things were done in their
day, and the impressions the} have of
Oxford Club
The Oxford club was entertained at dinner at the home of Dr. John R.

day evening. The club is to have charge of the services at the Methodist church of Green Bay next Sunday, and the following Sunday at the Methodist church of 8eymour.
the school at present. There is a promotion of school spirit too because every one is working with a common purpose. ’ *
Lola Payne, ’28, president of Orms- I by: “ Just the spirit of the whole
celebration, especially the reunion of old friends, is of utmost importanceto me.”
Lael Westberg, ’28, President of the
All-college club: “ I do not choose to
express my opinions on this subject.”Verel Knaup, ’28, Vice-president of
the All-college club: “ Perhaps the
most attractive feature of this year’s program is that of broadcasting the
music of the Homecoming dance, and
the float and house aw’ards. It will increase the interest of the student body in the dance. But greater than this it will form a bond between the
alums listening in and the students and alumni actually participating in the homecoming celebration.”
Dr. Naylor, Dean of the College:
“ By all means, the football game!”
Jack Rudolph, ’30, sports editor of
the Lawrentian: “ Homecoming tends
to shake the college out of its lethargy
and arouse a little pep, just for a change. It is one of the few times
during the year when real pep is shown.
Dr. Weston, Professor of Latin: “ Its very existence as a homecoming and the idea of reunion connected with it, seem to me the most attractive features of the idea. It is the
homecoming spirit w’hich urges alums
Brokaw Examination* To Be Held On Nov. 1
A competitive examination for the Norman Brokaw’ scholarships, for excellence in Latin, will be held on No

Beloit Faces
Viking Team
At AppletonHomecoming Gime To Be Hard
Fought; Both Elevens Inexperienced
“ Bent Beloit” is an old Lawrence
battle* cry which will be re-echoed at Whiting fieid tomorrow afternoon,
when the two rivals again face each othe r on the gridiron. With that one
thought in mind, Coaches Catlin, Ko- t.tl and Christoph have concentrated
on an offense and defense that will
cause Beloit no eiul of trouble, it is
loped, in the annual homecoming bat
tle. The struggle between the two teams stands out as one of the “ high spots’ ’ of the homecoming celebra
tion, aud a real thriller is expected.Same Lineup
Coach Catlin will use practically the same team that started the Lake Forest game, with slight substitutions
where they may be necessary. Jessup
and St. Mitchell will take care of the end positions with Bent and MacDonald in reserve. Ott will probably
grace the sidelines with his broken
finger, and his taekle berth will have
to be plugged by a substitute. Krohn will hold down the other tackle berth, and Posson may fill the other. Catlin’s two stocky sophomore guards, Yroecks
and Ehlert, will start in their posi
tions, with Shauer and Kittleson both
ready to work at center.In case Bloomer is eligible, he will
start at quarterback, with Schlagen-
hauf and Maclnnis in reserve. Brus-
satt, who starred in last week’s game, will start at one half with the old
reliable Barfell at the other. Hum
phrey will be in at fullback, with
Pierce, Hunter and Gelbke ready to take the place of any of the backfield
men.
Beloit Team
Captain Lawrence, dashing quarterback, will lead the Beloit eleven onto the field tomorrow. He is an excellent open field runner, a good tackier and
blocker, a fine punter and drop kick
er, and a satisfactory forward pass
heaver.
Williams and Botinno at halves and
Laabs at fullback will accompany
their captain in the backfield. The halfbacks are both new men, fast and
shifty, with specialization on off
tackle dashes and end runs. Laabs is
a 178 pound husky, and is the star
line smasher of the team. He also tosses a good many of Beloit’s passes.
At center Coach Bohler has a new
man, Germann, who has shown remarkable development in filling his position. Fessler, sophomore guard, is a big husky and Xieiuan, varsity man
of last year, is at the other guard.
The tackles are taken care of by Kuick and Rasinske. The latter is a
letterman of last year, while Kuick is a new man. Both are fairly light,
but are fast and aggressive. The ends, Westenberg and Lourin, are somewhat light in weight.
The whole Beloit team appears to be light, with the line averaging 164
pounds and the backfield 158 pounds. The team, however, is ably supported with substitutes for every position.
Station JBR To Broadcast Game
The snap and novelty characteriz
ing this year’s Homecoming will be
augmented by the broadcasting of the events of the big day by station JBB
of the Irving Zuelke music studio.A booth has been built on Whiting
field, and permission has been secured for the broadcasting of the football game, which will go on the air at
1:45, signing off at the dose of the game until 8:30, when the dance will

A. C. Denny
Denny Makes Great Sports Contribution
To Lawrence College
Athletic Director Has Turned Out
Several Championship
Teams
In his three years as athletic director, A. C. Dennv has put intra mural sports at Lawrence on a sound basis,
has brought Lawrence from the bottom of the basketball ladder to a
Mid-west conference and a Wisconsin collegiate championship, and to a sec
ond place in both races.Denny is a graduate of LaCrosse
normal where he was a football, basketball and track star. After gradu
ating from LaCrosse, Denny came to
Neenah high school where he made
exceptionally strong basketball teams.
In 1922 he came to Appleton high,
where he turned out some of its
strongest football teams.In 1923 Denny came to Lawrence.
His first basketball team placed third
in the Mid-west and Wisconsin collegiate races. In his second year Lawrence captured the Midwest championship. The third year under his
supervision saw Lawrence tie with Cornell for the Mid-west title and win the Wisconsin collegiate flag. In 1925
his teams won the Wisconsin collegi
ate track title and were undefeated in
cross country. Last year Denny took
a leave of absence, but he has already
started his cross country squad on the
road to a season without a defeat.
Lawrence Captain
Elmer Ott
A broken finger will force the Blue and White captain to remain on the sidelines tomorrow in his last Homecoming game and his last battle
against Beloit. Ott, a product of Kau-
kauna, has starred in the line lor Lawrence for three seasons, and his
work at tackle has earned him {»laces
on several mythical all-star selections.
Ott is a hard, clean tackier, a bulwark
on the defense, and does more than his
share on offense. Although he has not
had the fortune to lead a champion
ship team, Ott has fulfilled his captaincy exceedingly well, and his play has been a constant bright spot in an otherwise drab season.

Athlete A t Chicago
University
Coaches Vikings
Any “ old timer” who has followed football history since the days of 1900 will remember the day when Chicago
was playing Michigan, and the cham
pionship hung in the balance. With
the score 0 to 0. a flashy Chicago end
tackled a Michigan back behind the goal line and clinched the champion
ship for Chicago. This end was none other than Coach Mark Catlin.
Catlin is still remembered as one
of the most outstanding athletes Chicago university has ever had. Besides
being a great grid satellite, he held the world’s indoor track record for the fifty-yard high hurdles. Upon graduating from Chicago, Catlin went
to Iowa university, where he studied law and assisted in football coaching.
Later he came to Appleton to practice law and in 1909 took the coaching
reins for Lawrence football. For the
next four years his teams captured the
Little Five championship. In the fifth year they tied w;th Beloit for the title
and the next year finished second.
Catlin returned to Lawrence in 1918 to coach the famous S.A.T.C. team which still ranks as one of the strong
est Blue and White elevens of all time. He left at the end of the year,
but returned in 1924 to capture an
other Little Five pennant.

Lawrence Has Won Fifteen Games From Beloit College
By Jack
Although Lawrence college had been playing football since 1893, it was not until six years later, in 1899, that the Vikings first met Beloit on the gridiron. Since that autumn day,
twenty-eight years ago, the Blue and White has mingled with the Blue and
Gold on twenty-three occasions. Tabulation of records reveal that Lawrence has emerged the victors of fif
teen of these battles, Beloit has won
five, and three have ended in deadlocks.
Beloit had been represented on the
football field for several years before
Lawrence ever had a team, and was considered in those days to rank with members of the Big Nine, as the
Western conference was then called,
and consequently, when Lawrence met the southerners for the first time in
1899, it wasn’t expected that the
Vikings would do more than take a
whipping. Beloit did win that first
game, but the Blue gridders put up
such a terrific battle that they were forced to play almost super football to eke out an 11 to 0 decision.
In 1900 Beloit won again, by a score of 26 to 0, but the following year, the
Blue and White broke the spell of defeat, and startled the rtate pigskin
world by administering a 24 to 0 de
feat to the proud Beloiters. The vic
tory permanently settled Beloit’s claims to superiority, for, with the exception of a forfeited game in 1910,
and ties in 1904, 1912, and 1922, twen
ty years elapsed before a Blue and Gold team carried away a decision.
The score in 1902 was 22 to 0 in
favor of Lawrence, and the following
year the teams battled to a 5 to 5 tie.
In 1905 Lawrence earned a 12 to 0 edge, and repeated in 1906 with a 10 to 5 score. Again in 1907 victory
rested on the Viking goal posts, and if Lawrence had had a trophy room, another football with the legend, 11 to 4, painted on its leather side,
would have taken its place on the
shelves.
Those four points were destined to be the last counted by the Gold
against the Blue for more than a de
cade, for until 1919 Beloit was urabit-
t«j score on Lawrence. In 1908 the score was 17 to 0, and in 1909, 5 to 0.
During the game of 1910, a squabble
arose which resulted in Lawrence
Rudolph
walking off the field and forfeiting the game to Beloit, 1 to 0. The Blues won again 1911, 8 to 0, and the following year the two elevens battled to a scoreless tie, which was followed
in 1913 and 1914, by Lawrence victories by scores of 9 to 0, and 36 to 0.
Relations were broken off in 1915 and 1916, and the World WTar, coming in 1917 and 1918, swept football from
the horizon. Lawrence had no team
in ’17, and when they reorganized in 1918, it was only a service schedule.
With peace declared, college football came into its own again in 1919,
and Beloit resumed its place on Law
rence’s schedule. That year, the year of Lawrence’s first Homecoming, the
Blue and W’hite resumed operations
with a 6 to 3 win, and repeated in
1920 and ’21 with 10 to 0 and 36 to 0
victories. In 1922 they again fought
through four periods to a scoreless
deadlock.
At last, after twenty years of failure, Beloit battered down the barriers that had held her so long from vic
tory, and in 1923 overwhelmed a Viking team, 24 to 9. This joy lasted only a year, however, as Lawrence
slipped into the rut of victory again in 1924 with a 10 to 0 win.
Although Pid Purdy, present quarterback of the Green Bay Packers,
was declared ineligible the week before the Lawrence game, in 1925, a
fighting eleven from down state bat
tered its way to a 14 to 0 victory over
its ancient Nemesis. Last season
Lawrence crushed Beloit, 24 to 7.
Lawrence F oo tb a ll P layers Have Won Nearly 140 Games
By Jack
One hundred thirty-nine victories, seventy-seven defeats, and fourteen tie games in thirty-four years. This is the complete football record of Lawrence since the college first took up the gridiron sport in 1893.
But, as one reads in old Lawren tians the story of Lawrence’s brilliant history, those figures mean more than mere games won and lost. They tell the history of the development of the college, showing how at first Lawrence was backward in accepting the sport, forced to send its first inexperienced teams against well- coached opponents and how in a short time she was fighting her way to the crest of athletic prestige through victories over larger rival colleges.
No Football Before ’93 Prior to 18H3, according to the
Lawrentian files, Lawrence did not engage in football, although Lawrence and Ripon trackmen met annually. In ’93, however, in response to continued agitation a team was organized, uniforms purchased, and the big parade was under way. There were only eleven men on that first squad, for it was not until 1896 that a second team was organized to give the varsity practice.
Late in October of 1893, this eleven travelled to Ripon for the first game of football ever played by a Blue and White team. The exact date is not given in the Lawrentian for November, ’93. Lawrence was the first to score, playing even with the experienced Ripon team throughout the first half, and the period ended 6 to 6. In the second half, Lawrence weakened anti Ripon pushed over three touchdowns to win, 24 and 6.
Two Games In *93 Only two games were played that
year, the other resulting in a 4 to 4
Rudolph
tie. Dr. J. II. Farley, well known nieinl>er of the present faculty, played right half back on that team, and during the two years following.
Since 1893, Lawrence has defeated Ripon fifteen times, lost nine games and tied three. Beloit, first encountered in 1899, ranked with the Big Nine teams, but of the twenty two games Lawrence has played with the southerners, the Blue and White has a record of fifteen wins and three ties.
Marquette first met the Vikings in 1902, and since then the latter has won seven games and lost six, including oue forfeit, and one tie. Carroll came in 1908, and here too, ¡¿awrence is on top, fourteen games to four with two tie games.
Lawrence teams held the state championship in 1911-12-13-14-20-21- 22 and 24, with the Midwest title in 1922. Most of these titles have been
won under the coaching of Coach Catlin. Only once has Lawrence gone through a season undefeated, but in many years the only defeats inflicted were at the hands of W'isconsin, Minnesota, Michigan, Chicago, and other Western conference machines. And Lawrence grads of years ago still remember the time they tied Wisconsin, a touchdown in the last minute of play saving the university team from defeat.
Theta Phis Take Net Championship
Winning three straight sets by scores of 6-2, 6-4 and 6-4, Remntel and
Catlin brought the Theta Phis through to first place in the inter-fraternity tennis race, in the final mateh played Monday afternoon. Klauner and Robson, of the Sig Eps, runners up, fought
an uphill battle from the first set on.The match was a re play by agree
ment among the players when darkness forced a halt in the fifth set of the match which was begun last Fri
day afternoon. The “ play over’ *
was not as sensational as the original dispute, although on several occasions, seemingly impossible returns w’ere
made by both teams.
Lobbing came iu for an important place in the tactics of both squads,
but volley shots from midcourts, well
timed and placed, usually brought this
“ Lindbergh tennis” to a finish. In
both the seVond and third sets the Sig
Eps staged comebacks, but the wear
ing, tearing Theta drives were more
than Robson and Klausne'r could cope
with, and the match ended, 6-2, 6-4, 6 4.
Thirteen High Schools Send Debate Requests
Thirteen high schools of W'isconsin
and Michigan have sent requests for
a place in the Lawrence debate schedule this year.
The schools which have already sent requests are: Eau Claire, Green Bay, JefTersou, Lake Mills, Menasha,
1 rairie du Chien, River Falls, Shawano, Sheboygan, South Milwaukee, and
Wausau of Wisconsin, and Escanaba and Iron Mountain of Michigan.

October Lawrence Alumnus Contains
Notable Features
From the good-looking, newly-de
signed cover on through to the last of thirty-two pages of interesting reading matter, the October issue of the Lawrence Alumnus is a magazine of
which the college, thq alumni, and its editor, Dan Hardt, ’26, may well be
proud.The drawing on the cover of the
tower of Lawrenee Memorial chapel
and Main hall with the title “ The Lawrence Alumnus” is the w’ork of
Austin Saecker, ex ’17, an Appleton
artist.“ Faith, The Key to all Know
ledge’ ', the matriculation day address
delivered by Dr. L. A. Youtz, is the
opening article in the magazine.
A feature is the publication of the text of one of the addresses delivered
here during the winter by the Rev.
Henry Hitt Crane. Dr. Crane has
kindly consented to prepare three of
his addresses in manuscript form, and the other two will be printed in suc
cessive issues of the Alumnus.A reproduction of the picture taken
of the student body and faculty group before the Memorial chapel is the central illustration of the book, and twelve other cuts illustrate the vari
ous articles.There are interesting accounts of
the work of notable alumni such as
Lt. Col. Frank J. Schneller, ’02,
Neenah, president of the Lawrenee
Alumni association who was recently
unanimously elected Commander of
the Wisconsin American Legion, Rev. Arthur L. Frederick, a member of the department of religious education of
the College of Puget Souijd, Tacoma Washington, and Professor A. F. Otis,
principal of the John Milledge Gram
mar school, Augusta, Georgia.Four poems appear in the Alumnus,
three by Olga Aehtenhagen, ’20, and
one by Ralph Culnan, ’24.An editorial, “ A Decline in En
rollment” , gives satisfactory and con
clusive reasons for the slight decrease
in the student body.There are stories on Homecoming,
the college band, Greek pledging, the
new faculty members, a reprint of “ Tut’s” letter from Switzerland, a feature, “ Worms Register Come
back’ ’ written by Margaret Joslyn,
’31, and an athletic section written
by Royal LaRose, ’28, besides many items of current interest in a section
entitled “ About the Campus.”

GOLDWYN’S125 E. COLLEGE AVE. i
Browsing Through the BookshelfBy JAMES COLLIER FORD
ZELDA MARSH, by Charles G. Norris. E. P. Dutton and Company.$2.50.
“ Zelda Marsh ’ V-the very syllables
of the title have the piquanev, the unusual quality, the challenge of this
novel of a woman ’9 life. Charles G. Norris has a knack of selecting in
triguing titles; witness: “ Brass” ,
“ Bread” , and *‘ Pig Iron” ; but in none of these has the inner nature of the story so w’ell expressed itself as in this name.
There are three men in the life of Zelda Marsh. There is Michael—a
young love that, as it has a way of
doing, tinges the thoughts and actions
of all her days. Then came George Selby, a song and dance act over
burdened with a sense of the possible pleasures of life, who proposes again
and again. So Zelda becomes the wife
of a vaudeville turn and travels on
the two-a-day. With a sudden, rather daring twist of writing, Norris lifts
her out of the ¿ad tragedy of existence
w’ith Selby, and overnight Zelda becomes a star, glittering in the theatri
cal firmament. Her fame brings her in contact with Tom Harney, wealth,
youth, and assured position. There
are three men in the life of Zelda Marsh, and her'life absorbs, consumes,
and exhausts all three and is in turn
engulfed.
Norris has given us a powerful
novel in “ Zelda Marsh’ ’. It is con
vincing. True, the character of the vulgar Selby stands out above the
others, which are perhaps more shadowy than one may reasonably expect
in a realistic wTork. We do not feel
Zelda, until she has her name in the
bright lights of Broadway—she is the
veil through w'hich we see the background of the action.
Life, how’ever, is surging through
the pages of the book. This novel is
the product of one who has unques
tionably lived and experienced. It is alive with the tears, the doubts, the futilities, the rare, fine joys that throng the hours of men. It is intense w’ith the feeling of the poet when he
wrote:“ Life burns us up like fire,And song goes up in flame.”
Book Tips
This is the year of titles in color.
There’s Aiken’s “ Blue Voyage” and
Nathalie Colby’s “ Black Stream”
and Niles’ “ Black Haiti” and Julia F'eterkin’s “ Black April” . Some
body ’s been getting rough when ev
erything’s black and blue.Two of the large publishing houses
are amalgamating this year—George
H. Doran Company and Doubleday, Page, and Company. The aspiring author will get one less rejection slip
now. But hold—T. R. Coward and J. A. McCann, at present on the Bobbs-Merrill staff, are forming a new
company. So cheer up, you’ll be able to get that rejection slip after all.
WE by Charles A. Lindbergh. G. P.Putnam’s Sons. $2.50.
Here is the book you have been hearing about—Lindv’s own story,
the one he wrote in longhand himself, mis-spelling some of the w’ords and
breaking the point of the pencil from time to time.
It is the account of the background of one that has been called the Typical American, of the days and duties that finally rolled along to the moment when Lindy hopped off for Paris,
thereby capturing the imaginations of the world as no other man has done.
He has told it himself, modestly as
only he would. In the pages of its
intimate narrative, we see the University of Wisconsin against the back
ground of Lindy, the flying school; we go barnstorming with those early,
somewhat weakly-audacious passengers over the Dakotas and Montanas. We learn of Lindy as a stunt flier, of the exciting routine of his experi
ences in the air mail, of his emergency
parachute jumps. And then we go up with him to those high days of the
trans-oceanic flight and after.As in all its other activities, the
combination of “ We” has been suc
cessful in a book. It is deservedly so. The unaffected style, the moving
language of every day accomplish
ment that make up this epie of his
toric flight is simplicity itself, the
simplicity that is Lindbergh, the sim
plicity that is greatness.
To readers of “ My Mortal Enemy”
Willa Cather’s new novel “ Death Comes for the Archbishop” will hold
a challenge and invitation. Miss
Cat her seems to be addicted to these morbid titles that carry a tragic por
tent in their syllables. “ Death Comes for the Archbishop” on the shelves
of the English club library—this was
intentional—is a book, that we pre
dict won’t rest peacefully there very long.
The Pulitzer Prize-winning play for last year is among the new books at the college library. It was written by Paul Green and is entitled, “ In
Abraham’s Bosom.”
