Archery Apparatus Sent for By Coach

GIRLS WILL HAVE CHANCE TO PLAY ANCIENT SPORT

T H E MISSING A P P L E S MYSTERY

Swimming, t rack meets, basket-ball, and archery for girls! Yes, a t Hope College! This year! Mr. Schouten is planning a full pro-gram of athletics to be carried out this year by all the girls — Frosh,

Sophs, Juniors, Seniors. If enough girls interested in

swimming will come out, Mr. Schouten will a r range for a course i»f six lessons to be given at the Y. W. pool in Grand Rapids. Then swimming teams will be organized and inter-clasi meets arranged. Mr. Schouten hopes to be able to get the pool for Hope girls only,

at least once every week. On Thursday evenings f rom

seven-thirty until nine-thirty, Car-negie Gym will be open to the girls for basketball practice. Mr. Schouten expects to organize a basketball league composed of sev-eral teams, and to run off a tour-nament perhaps in the early spring. Also there will be inter-class t rack meets in the spring, as well as archery. The equipment for arch-ery has already been ordered and Mr. Schouten hopes t h a t there will be large numbers of girls out fo r

archery. Is there any doubt? So here is your chance girls!

Come out f o r athletics and show the fellows t h a t you can do a few things too. Watch the Anchor for

more announcements. o

Two week ago Helen Phil-lips, Sena Rensink, and Joie Rodenburg bought a basket of apples a t a downtown store, and thereby hangs a tale. They gave their ad-

i dress as Voorhees Hall and requested t h a t the f ru i t be

sent to tha t place. Several days past , and the

apples did not appear. In-quiry at the store revealed j

| tha t the order had been de- ^ i livered. Questioning of Van !

Vleck inmates in the hope tha t the f ru i t had been sent there, failed to show any

trace of the apples. A day or so la ter apple-

sauce was served in the dorm dining hall fo r lun- . cheon and apple pie for din- ! ner. Suspicion turned to-ward the Voorhees kitchen, but its innocence was estab-

lished. Unexpectedly the apples

appeared a t Voorhees Hall Thursday, and the mystery was solved. The f ru i t had been delivered to Voorhees' neighbor. Dr. Dimnent, and during his absence in the East , it had remained on his porch. As soon as possible the apples, somewhat the sof ter for their long wait, were delivered to their right-ful owners, and now the question is, what will Helen, Sena and Joie do with them?

New High School Has Good Start

HOPE HIGH ATTENDANCE INCREASING

Three New Prizes In Bible Department

Y. W. C. A. A regular X - W . meeting was

held Tuesday, October 2, in the High School Chapel. The topic was "The Fool's Creed," and the meet-ing was led by Bernadine Siebers. The song service was in charge of Sena Rensink, and a f t e r the Scrip-

• U'ure readings and prayer , Edith McGilura gave a vocal solo. Ber-

' nadine's ta lk proved the fut i l i ty of the "Fool's Creed" t h a t " there is no God." She said, "If there is no God, there is no immortali ty, and therefore no hope or no happiness, fo r there is a distinct relation be-tween belief in immortali ty and happiness. It is impossible to con-ceive of a world without God." She went on to say t h a t answered prayers tes t i fy to the fac t tha t there is a God. Bernadine closed her talk by s tressing the danger of following "The Fool's Creed."

Af te r the leader's ta lk several of the girls told why they believe in God. The meeting was closed with the singing of the " Y " song.

H. K. K. and S. G. A. Begin

To Act

Hope's famous scoreless wonders journeyed to Hillsdale last Satur-day engaging the College team

there in a little football game and playing a whole game for nothing,

the score being 0-0. Both Hope and Hillsdale threat-

ened a t times but neither team was able to push the ball across for a touchdown. Apparently, the teams were so well matched tha t

little choice was lef t . This keeps the second of the

Hope team unblemished so to speak. Tha t is, no team has yet been able to score against the Orange and Blue warriors. This speaks well of the defensive

s t rength of the Hope team. Although defensive strength has

much to do with a team's playing, offensive strength is also neces-sary. This is to all appearances

lacking in the Hope team. The squad has yet to score in an inter-

collegiate game. This marks the second M. I. A.

A. game of the series and the pas-sage through what might be termed the easier par t of the schedule. However, the boys are to be comemnded for their fine show-

ing thus fa r . Alma, Albion, and Kazoo re-

main on the Hope schedule. These teams always have been hard to beat. The boys will need all your support to beat them. Why not give i t ? Albion's victory over M. S. C. may have been very impress-ive but nevertheless help the boys

to beat Albion. • o

Hope High School s tarted i ts first season under tha t name with an enrollment of 45 in all courses. This is a par t of our institution in which we all may take a legitimate pride, as it has a faculty equal, if not superior to the best in * the State. All of the instructors but one have their Master 's degrees, and the school is second to none in

standards. The enrollment is an increase

over last year. The abolishing of fees this fal l brought the school into the public school class, but i t still retains the desirable fea tures of a private "prep" school.

The science students have the use of the college laboratories in

biology and physics. In having the High School di-

rectly connected with the college, Hope follows the lead set by many large Eastern Universities. Ample opportunity for practice teaching is provided, which is the practice in the larger colleges. By this, the teachers-to-be get practical expe-rience, and the students receive the best kind of supervised teaching.

Mr. Gerrit Van der Borgh, A.M., Columbit, is the Principal, and teaches classes in Science and

Mathematics. Miss Adelaide Dykhuizen. A.B.,

teaches History. She expects to receive her A.M. degree from the University of Southern California

in the near fu tu re . Mr. Edward Wolters, A.M., Uni-

versity of Michigan, teaches Latin. Mr. Edgar De Graff, A.M., Univ.

of Michigan, teaches English. o

YEA, KNICKS!

S. G. A. ORGANIZES THURSDAY

Not To Be Read At Night

Here's a new bed time story, so listen well, baby Freshmen, i t ' s all about you: Every year the campus is visited by a gruesome monster called Initiation. He goes around to all the baby Fra t s , Knichs, Cos-mies, Enas, Dichs, and Ads and takes them to their respective society halls. Then he locks them up and sets to work to ruin each group, one baby a t a time. He greases them, he paints them, he feeds them everything f rom con-densed milk and vinegar to raw eggs and flour, he takes them to the Holland Theatre and makes them perform fo r the people, and finally he spanks them good until their a f ter - thoughts a re all venge-ful . Now go to bed little Fresh-men and be good or the Initiation man will spank you harder than

ever. A. SOPH.

T h a t , the re a re upon Hope cam-pus a few supercilious yearlings, was not only observed by the Sophomore class, but also by tha t potent group of Senior men known as the H. K. K.'s. So, as it is the exalted office of these upper-class-men to enforce discipline upon the

newcomers a t Hope, the H. K. K. s not only invited four f reshmen to appear a t their meeting last Mon-day, but urged them to be pres-ent! Ju s t another case of, "not being compulsory, but only re-quired." If one must judge by the submissive, unassuming man-ner of the same four f rosh the last few days, we are assured t h a t the Hope Kurfew Klub is living up to i ts reputation. The officers of this domineering group are ;

President, Clarence Deiphouse; Vice-president, Alvin Van den Bosch; The offices Qf janitor and chief bouncer are equally divided

between Ray De Young and -

Wackenbarth. The S. G. A. is the Senior Girls'

Association which corresponds to the H. K. K.'s. Although they too had planned on measures to be taken with the too pert " infants on our campus, they decided t h a t the Sophomore class had the situ-

ation well i ^ fhand . At a very good turn-out meeting

last Thursday, the following girls

were elected as officers: President, Grace Koeppe; Vice-

president, Beatrice Vander Kamp; Secretary and Treasurer , Dorothy

Blekkink. o-

Fraternals To Enlarge Home

MODEL FRAT-HOUSE TO DE-VELOP UNDER PRESENT

P L A N S

Presently the "OKE" Home a t Columbia and Tenth will be the scene of much hammering, pound-ing, and similar evidences of car-pentry. The large attic is to be made into sleeping quarters for the members rooming on the second floor. Dormer window^ and a rais-ing of the ceiling are par t s of the work made necessary by this ar-rangement. This will permit each fellow to have a warm, comfort-able room for study and as his liv-ing quarters, while at night he can find healthy rest on the third floor where the temperature will be more suitable for tha t purpose.

Additional purchases of over-stuffed suites of furni ture are coming to the lounge rooms down-stairs. A large phonograph, which came with some 200 records, pro-vides relaxation for the Fra ters . There is ample room fo r accom-modating the society meetings, as well as the various groups who drop in for a bit of talk and cheer. The second floor rooms are rapidly being filled by the members, who-will make their home here during

the school year.

i Friday—

Everything is coming smoothly a t the K. H. N. House. The Knicks have secured Mrs. Thomas DeVries as House Mother to keep the in-side of the Fra te rn i ty Hall spic and span, andva caretaker to re-tain the verdai\t beauty of the lawn and shrubbery. The fellows them-selves have spent considerable t ime washing up woodwork, install ing furni ture , and get t ing everything ready for one of the biggest years in the history of Knickerbocker.

A Knickerbocker Mothers' Club has been organized by the Holland fellows' mothers, which has been enthusiastically working to get things in shape.

The House fellows have organ-ized and elected Frank Brohow as House President. The music room and living rooms are almost com-pletely furnished and everything is being done to make the Knick House worthy of Hope's pride.

Chapel Addition i

Additional musical fea tures for the new Hope College chapel were announced when it was reveale< that Mr. and Mrs. D. E. Van der Veen and daughter of Elm Cottage are to present an echo ant iphona organ for the balcony of the new chapel. This instrument, which will be installed about 200 feet dis tant f r o m the console, is sufficiently powerful to support a gallery choir Its ensemble includes, besides dia pason pipes, twenty-five bells, the fern flute, and the vox humana.

ting in the new chapel. These additions make the new

chapel comparable with any like institution in the whole country.

HAGER SECURES TWO

GIFTS

Besides the prizes which have been awarded in former years for excellence in work in the Depart-ment of Bible, Mr. Hager this yea r , nas secured the g i f t s of two more.

By the kindness of the Ninth Re-brmed Church of Grand Rapids,

the "Anna Hydeman Memorial Jible Prize," an award of twenty-

five dollars in memory of a be-oved teacher connected with tha t

Church school since the early nine-ies, who died this pas t summer,

will be awarded the Freshman wri t ing the best essay on a sub-ject yet to be assigned.

Also, a friend of the college who wishes as yet to withhold his name is offering a prize of fifty dollars to be divided into a first prize of thirty dollars and a sec-ond of twenty to the winner of a new oratorical contest to be held under the auspices of the Bible )epartment shortly a f t e r the holi-

days. The subjects f o r the ora-tions will be in the field of religion.

The prizes f o r the depar tment given in fo rmer years will De awarded as usual . They include: The Mrs. -Samuel Sloan Foreign Mission Prize, a prize of twenty-five dollars to be awarded this year to the student who wri tes the best essay on the subject, "The His-tory of the Present Sta tus of the Student Volunteer Movement;" the Van Zwaluwenburg Domestic Mis-sion Prjze, also of twenty-five dol-lars, going this year to the s tudent wri t ing the best essay on the sub-ject, "Pro tes tan t Missions Among I ta l ians in America;" and the Dan-iel C.

STUDENT VOLUNTEER We believe t h a t Mr. Rottschaefer,

India, Hope alumnus, has one of the most interest ing callings. He teaches the boys of India some practical t rade so t h a t they may have a tangible way of pulling out of the ignorance in which they have steeped, into self respecting, self support ing Christianity.

You should have heard him at the Student Volunteers' meeting

Friday. A result of his work may soon

be witnessed by all of us — the new chapel pulpit furni ture Was

made by his boys. Mr. Rottschaefer is returning to

India Monday.

You Need Only Dollars and Sense

During these first few weeks of school there are so many bills to be paid, so many constant demands upon our pocketbooks, tha t when something like the price of a Ly-ceum Course Ticket is brought up, we wince painfully and refuse to purchase one. Isn ' t tha t r igh t? Let's not do t h a t — l e t ' s stop and think of how much we shall wish to hear these famous musicians and players (Five Big Nights of Solid Enter ta inment) when the time comes, and probably we'll buy a t i cke t Our college education is incomplete if it doesn't instill into us a liking for the esthetic pleas-ures of life.

NEW CLUB?

Eighteen char ter members held a thea t re party a t the Colonial one evening last week. During the show the f reshmen in the group were dispatched for chewing gum, which aided sound effects in the orchestra. Crucial moments in the fea tu re picture were heartily ap-

plauded. Following the performance the

group parked about a lunch counter in a sandwich shop and devoured "hamburgs" to the accompaniment of school cheers. Next came a game of "Follow the Leader" up Eighth street until another thea-t re was reached and duly rushed.

Voorhees Hall is not Dutch! That 's settled. Each one of t he inhabitants parted with a well earned penny to send the boys a

telegram a t Hillsdale.

We're wondering what fallacy in pedagogy this comes under. Dora McCowan was doing her assign-ments in the wrong book for two weeks before she discovered the

error.

The privilege to see four sem-inary students in Band uniforms enthusiastically blowing, beating or plunking on some instrument should reap more than the present sum of sixty-six sixty. Quoting Herman Laug, we hope " I t ' s not

final." Beside these four recruits there

are thir teen or fourteen more. May we add t h a t each class is well represented. Even down to the "Frosh" if they may be called a class. Practically all the members have been measured for uniforms and have assumed the role of the "pa t ienf ' -wai t ing . However, one of the senior members claims tha t , so f a r , he has a uniform and not an ins t rument . We'll hope fo r the

best. Mr. Goslink, who has his degree

in music, has undertaken the re-sponsibility of leading this musical group. He s ta tes tha t he has great expectations for the Band as well

as f o r us. o

contest is open to Seniors only and their grades in Junior Bible will be considered in the judging of the

papers. Beside these there is the Coop-

ersville Men's Adult Bible Class Prize awarded to the Sophomore wri t ing the bes t essay on the sub-ject, "John Mark as an Evangelist and Missionary; the John Palsma Bible Prize of a Bible awarded to the member of the graduat ing class of the high school depart-ment who h a s maintained the highest s tanding in Religious Edu-cation during a residence of not less than two years; and the g i f t of a Bible to each member of the college graduat ing class due to the kindness of Mr. Gerald Beekman

of New York City.

"KHN" Cassim,

Arabian

Tiring of the picture, the par ty re-turned to the street , where one member of the group took up the profession of street-sweeping.

Van Vleck Hall narrowly escaped a serenade, as the weary club mem-bers decided to call i t an evening

and go home.

WOULD YOU SIGN IT?

(Suggested Honor Code)

Believing that a high sense of honor is requisite to self-respecting manhood and womanhood, and since I want only the best to go into the making of myself and my college, I will refrain from all forms of cheating and dishonesty, and do all in my power to discourage the same in Hope College, expecting the support of alf thope who sign this pledge.

H O P E WELL R E P R E S E N T E D AT BRUNSWICK

A grea t year is in store for New Brunswick Seminary. The Semi-nary roll now boasts a total of th i r ty men preparing for Christian ministry. I t is surprising as well as g ra t i fy ing to find five of the nine Juniors graduates of Hope College. There are al together f rom the Orange and Blue a third of the ent i re Seminary. I t is a fine thing to have men f rom the West pre-pare under such scholars as Drs. Beard slee, Raven, Worcester, "Hoff-man to fill the many needs of the Eas tern churches. In addition the Eas t offers ample opportunity for ail men constantly in varied fields of Church endeavor |

Even as the greedy

brother of Ali Babi of Knights ' notoriety, wished t h a t he could remember the magic words, "Open Sesame," when trapped in the retreat of the two score "rob-ber-gentlemen," so, no doubt, many Hopeites say, "Open 'KHN' ; " how-ever, "KHN" is doing no futi lely idle explaining and revealing — i t is acting with a vigor and energy

tha t is inevitable. Each room is completely f u r -

nished with reception rooms and meeting hall on the first floor, liv-ing quarters and studies on the second, and sleeping apar tments in

the attic. The organization is functioning

in a manner which is surprising for a body so immature. Str ingent house laws are being formulated which will put Knick Hall on an even basis with "10 o'clock" Voor-

hees. Knickerbocker has a plentitude

of plans up i t s sleeve and, perhaps,

a few ha has . " Jus t count ' K H N . ' "

— o Judging f rom the apparit ions

strolling about t he campus las t week we deduce t h a t H. K .K. has me t in secret ( ? ) session fo r t he serious philanthropic purpose of aiding the profs in the education and edification of f reshmen. The effects were really quite stunning, however. And we are looking for-ward to the "more and better" promised for next time.

AND GOD LAUGHED

He must liave laughed when that poor professor at a med-ical school in Chicago pinned iiat notice on his classroom door:

"When you enter here, leave Cod outside.*' A mere man trying to shut out the Source of all light,

the very Truth on which all knowledge, all education is founded, the only One who could bring us to our present reve-lation.

Is it any wonder that He must slowly reveal his power, his Infinity, his astounding truths of nature — slowly, so that man can in some measure understand His hand in it all and not become lost in the incomprehensible extent of that truth?

It is only when we take Him into account as the Director of these "laws" of science and take Him along in our search, that we can stand up under their weight. If we try to run nature just by ourselves the mighty machine turns on and crushes us.

That terribly sad bit of poetry applies especially to some great scientists, we think:

The shepherd's work was done. The sheep were safe within the fold — Ninety and nine, and one.

"Perhaps," answered the grocer, "but tha t ' s the kind the farmers sent me this morning."

Yes, try to shut out Cod! Shut out the sunshine, the cool rain, the strengthening wind! Leave them outside!

Y : r 4 ' LLll - SOPHOMORES, AT THAT!

Upon leaving Carnegie Hall Thursday night after the general mass meeting the Freshmen were halted outside by a veritable barrage of garbage. Sophomores were launching their initial attack on the Frosh.

A general feeling of protest was aroused among upper classmen by this unsportsmanlike pursuit. No doubt, the plans for this attack were suggested by a single Hope-less protagonist. Furthermore, we cannot believe that more than a small percentage of the Sophomores actually engaged them-selves in helping to carry out the scheme. And yet, the entire class deserves to come under fire of criticism. It could have prevented the low-spirited attack; it raised no protest while it was being executed; and now it withholds public criticism of its ringleaders.

Upper classmen always admire the leaders of lower classes if they are red-blooded, hard-fisted fighters. There must be keen rivalry to stimulate the spirit of progress. But leaders who are not worth idealizing should be denounced. We say emphatically that the instigators of this tomato- and egg-throwing charge upon the Frosh have exhibited a low class spirit which shall not be emulated upon Hope's campus in years to come.

Contributed.

I'm so glad you enjoyed the Ex-changes last week?—One more like tha t and I'm afraid I shall bn the ex-change editor.

The Albion College Pleiad says; "Well gents, if we can only hoi J out three more months, everything will be O. K. Some have been

hooked this summer, but the per-centage is small. Leap Yeav is almost over."

Amen.

CLASS DISTINCTIONS

In former years it has been the custom of only the Fresh-men and the Seniors to distinguish themselves by some un-usual article of clothing. We all know the black derbies of the H. K. K. of former years, and the annual verdure of the Freshmen in the fall.

However, this year these class distinctions are being ex-tended to include all the classes. The Sophomores have al-ready purchased a supply of a certain kind of hat with which they intend to differentiate themselves from the rest of the students. The Juniors too, are planning something in the way of a mark that will set them apart from their fellows.

We cannot commend this idea too highly, for, although much has been said about our lack of school spirit in the last few years, this is the first real attempt to do anything about it. These distinctive emblems of the various classes will serve to heighten the class spirit of the individual members; and this increase of class spirit will automatically reflect upon our school consciousness as a whole.

Another advantage of the new ensigna is that they will serve to show us as college students to the residents of the community as a whole, and thus increase their co-operation with us.

Perhaps too, this advent of the head covering will become a permanent thing.

I can't understand this Pleiad. In an editorial the editor says: "Last year the Pleiad raised lUeif from a third rate college paper to a first rate paper."

Yet, in plain letters, at the head of the column it says: "Entered at the Postoffice at Albion as sec-ond class matter ."

About 65,000 Frosh, all over the country, took the same intelligence

test that was handed to our own greenings, and many of the ex-change papers are raving about their own respective averages. I'm half afraid to publish Hope's aver-age because:

Friesma is sure tha t "lioness" ;•» potatoes.

Marcotte thinks Ottawa Beach is a writer.

Neinhuis wants to know how-much Dr. Nykerk charges per visit.

Meengs is sure we have an ob-servatory on the campus.

Fox went out to Getz Farm sing-ing "Gorilla My Dreams I Love You."

Harms is sure i t 's quite a strain to eat soup through a mustache.

The Frosh may find some con-solation in the fact tha t President Buswell, of Wheaton College, says: "Anyone who is competent in edu-cation will be found to say 'I don't know. ' "

A FREAK TRAGEDY

In a f reak land Achrasthasee

Lived a f reak prince Kachooloh-

gee.

Freak swansdown clouds rolled

constantly by,

Afloat in a f reak blue-porcelain

sky;

Out of the castle Kachoo!oh-gee

strode

Upon his f reak mind, it appeared,

was a load.

He looked at the sun—it was pol-

ished so bright

That the f reak glare quite blinded

his sight.

So when he looked up at the downy

clouds many.

He saw a smudge where there

wasn't any!

He broke in a rage, and stamped

his freak feet ;

He sneezed till his slaves came in

terror complete;

Then he shouted aloud as he

pointed a t Gerty—

"The picnic is ruined—the clouds

are quite dir ty!"

Gerty, f reak washer maid, looked

up in surprize (She had carefully cleaned the

clouds a t sunrize). "Stop staring! Get busy, you im-

pudent chit!" Kachoo!oh-gee cried — and forgot

all about it. The picnic took place in a freak

field (paper grass) . The prince and f reak court were

out to a lass; But Gerty, with water and soap,

the ladder Climbed to the clouds growing

madder 'n madder. And when at the top she saw only

white clouds. She threw down the water and with

clatter quite loud Hurled a f t e r 't the pail; nnd with

deadly sure aim Sent the soap in the midst of a

cloud—what a shame! Unsuspecting, the picnickers par-

took of their lunch With a sip and a dip and a crunch

and a munch— When quick, as the prince sat in-

specting his toes, A drop from above fell plump on

his nose! He lifted his head, and so over his

head

Fell Gert 's empty pail, and he sank down quite dead.

The people looked on, not seeing the cloud

That the soap carried downward their f reak forms to enshroud.

They died. Oh, gently, I'm happy to say

But forever and ever so come what may.

And this story's moral, my friends, is this:

Now if you have servants, and something's amiss.

Whatever you do, whatever you say.

Congratulations, class of '30! This is the first Ume we've had to dig down in our pockets and badly mutilated bank account for mile-stones in October. But somehow we can't understand the reference to the great bargains a t $3.25. Here's hoping it 's explained before June 19.

Sophs Tell How It Feels to Win

SENSATIONS OF THOSE WHO ARE PULLING MAKE

QUEER STORY

\

Three cheers foe-Mr. Holkeboer, the college carpenter. The great genius has been discovered who can solve the problem of the Voor-hees fire place. Jus t imagine! — a real wood fire in a real fire place. Are Voorheesites glad? Just ask 'em.

We hear that some cruel profs are giving quizzes already. Just for spite we hope they're hard to correct. Also, six week exams are merely three weeks off. Cheerful thought.

So the frosh and sophs have at-tended their annual lecture and have been handed their season, re-serve seat tickets to chapel. Now let's us watch them fulfill their social obligations of attendance and also profit by the words of wis-dom which fell from the president's lips.

Any speech is known by its re-sults however and here is the first which has come to our notice. A green little f reshman asked, " I j Mrs. Dimnent a good looking woman?" A clever young soph, with the wealth of his year's ex-perience behind h i m, replied, "Sure! So is Mrs. Nykerk."

Evidently Voorhees girls are go-ing to do some more sleeping. Three new cots arrived the other day. And we've seen no new ship-ment of electric light bulbs.

S. G. A. has also met and organ-ized. The prize of that meeting, however, goes to the unanimous election of Mary and Martha as cheerleaders. But this is a partner-ship affair. They are both to be "cumbered with much serving" of the school.

Thanks for the serenade, Emer-son men. Come again.

Have you seen the new "har-nesses" with which the Voorhees waitresses are equipped? Techni-cally they are called aprons, but the girls go down to each meal ten minutes early in order to don them properly. We're afraid they're no: used to being domesticated.

Janet McKinley's ambition — a cat, a canary, and a cushion in front of the fire. It 's time to laugh.

For the benefit of frosh girls we will say that very soon you will

be. invited societies.

Canadian Lakes Btautifal Among the seven reservations set

iislde by the government of Can-tida In the Rocky mountains there Is none more beautiful than Wa-rerton Lakes National park, which lies on the eastern slope of the Kockles where these mountains ap-proach the International boundary. The park forms a rough square with a long L-shaped section added to the east, the whole having an area of about 220 square miles.

—Th® experience of being a mem-ber of one of the pull teams is quite a revelation. When one sees this event f rom the river's banks, .it has a decided appeal. The sport is a good, clean way to wear off class rivalry, but the rigors of the actual participation would surprise many an onlooker, for it , as any other athletic event, has i ts stren-uous moments.

Before the pull, the teams each meet in a room in Van Raalte Hall, where the captains and coaches make the actual selection of men, and where also the last words of advice and encouragement are given. Next, the teams board their trucks, and are driven down to the river's banks, there to await the completion of preliminary preparations. Each puller is as-signed his sod clotted hole in the earth, where he must dig for a footing when the warning whistle sounds.

With a few heaves a t the hemp to stretch out the slack in the rope, each team falls over on the line to wait out the twenty minutes of the first period. A few moments before this period is up, each coach calls to his men to get into a sit-ting position, and be ready to stand and give all they have, for it is in this minute of quick action tha t the pull is won.

Af te r a dozen heaves a t the rope, each team is gasping fo r breath. Cold water and smelling salts, oranges and lemons, screams and commands, all are hurled a t the straining backs of the slipping, sliding, automaton of a team. The fellows gnaw at their clothing and hurl epithets a t the ground about their feet, until soon the rope be-gins to come in with great lunges. Long, long minutes#pass, when each man feels tha t he certainly must pass out, or a t least drop tha t dirty, wet, harsh, endless string of hemp, but just one more heave may do the trick. Af t e r five min-utes of this, twenty minutes to the teams, the event is declared over, by the entering of the Frosh into the cool, reviving waters of Black River. Soon the crowd has dwindled away, and another Pull is history.

DO NOT ARGUE WITH TEMPTATION! The temptation to buy as cheaply as possible keeps many

people from practicing real economy. Real thrift is knowing what you want and then paying a fair price for a full measure of satisfaction. Good printing pays its own way.

Hillsdale Frosh romped over the Hope yearlings a t Hillsdale Sat-urday to the tune of a 13-0 vic-tory. The Hope Frosh fought hard but were simply outclassed. Injuries and failure of some men to make the t r ip weakened the team considerably and made it much easier for the Hillsdale year-lings.

With two weeks preparation the team should be in good shape for the next battle and ripe for vic-tory. There is good material on the squad although some of it lacks the proper experience.

The lack of proper spirit has ruined many teams. This applies especially to the at t i tude of the supporters. No team can do its best if the crowd behind it is at odds with the helping attitude.

For no apparent reason the crowd at the Olivet game was small—pitifully small. Now I ask you—is that the way to support a team that is making a hard drive for the Association championship?

You have no right to grumble if the team doesn't win when you don't come out for the game! Our team needs support. Are you wil-ling to help? Well, then come out to the games and help yell for the boys. We can't have a winning team without your support. Let's have lots-a pepper and ginger.

HOW BILL ROPER PICKS HIS PRINCETON VARSITY

"The quality I look fo r a t first is best described as the ability to handle one-self," says Bill Roper, Princeton coach, in the November issue of College Humor; "a close correlation between mind and mus-cle which shows in balance, speed, rhythm and grace. I seek out the men with nerve and cheerfulness, who do not complain too readily of bumps and discouragements and bruises. The successful coach studies his squad and learns the dispositions and temperaments of every player. The unimaginative boy perfectly set up but utterly lacking in fire and spirit to rise to a fighting pitch during a game is a thorn in any coach's basket of roses.

"There is a general impression that only big, brawny men have a chance to excel in football. Coach Yost, of Michigan, gives five qual-ities tha t make up the football player: determination, persever-ance, coordination, brains a n d s t r e n g t h . 'Determination, not strength, is the first thing to look for,' he says. 'The strong, brainy, co-ordinated boy is not an athlete unless he possesses the determina-tion and willingness to persevere.

"Stagg, of Chicago, believes that football players are born, not made. 'Certainly,' he points out, 'phy-sical at t r ibutes enter into being a perfect football player, but a man-ufactured tackle or fullback will always remain an automaton, a mechnical player. The boy who is worth his weight in gold is he who is always in every play and every game up to his neck. ' "

o Raising the Deuce
