KLINE BUSINESS MANAGER - CURTIS C ROGERS FOREWORD During the year of 1933 and 34 new activities have made their appearances on the campus. New leaders have taken the places of the old at the head of classes, at the head of organizations. New records have been established, new heights attained. Local groups have become affiliated with national groups and have added honor and prestige to the college. New students have entered college who will emerge from comparative obscurity in a few years to take the place of the graduated seniors. Some of these will emerge as athletes, some as political powers, others as leaders in the scholastic field. Aside from the fields of sport, politics, scholarship and studying is the great mass of students who are interested mainly in the dance floor or the bridge table. These students never make print, never find their names or pictures presented to the public. Yet it is this group which makes the active life of the college. It is for the student body made up of all of these different elements that this 1934 Wolverine is written and compiled. For all students there will be memories of college life brought back by a souvenir of student days. A program, a favor will make more vivid the memory of a J-Hop, a Senior Prom, a fraternity or a sorority party. There will be memories of football games, crowds cheering, spectacular plays, long runs, students going wild. There will be memories of basketball games, baseball games, radio reports of out-of-state games from the Union. Some will have memories of hours spent with books, burning the midnight oil over too inadequate lecture notes in preparation for the forthcoming bluebooks. Not all such memories are enjoyable. Others will recall hours spent in a fraternity or sorority study room where groups talked and talked and settled the great philosophical questions of the age. Hours spent in bull-throwing as it were. Political campaigns, membership drives, student oratory will come back to the ohes who have taken an active part in such activities. For many there will be recollections of moments with the one and only along sequestered walks through Pinetum or along the winding Red Cedar which is considerably more romantic at night than in the light of day. Nights, preferably moonlit, drifting along in borrowed, or when necessary rented, canoes or riding in rumble seats. Page 2 With so much to remember and so much to record, the 1934 Wolverine staff set out to publish a book which will serve as a stimulant to the memory in the years to come. In a small book of this size it is impossible to record everything that has happened this school year. There are too many students, too many friends, there are too many activities, too many interests. Therefore, it is that the staff sought to select those things which would recall snatches of the life of the college, glimpses of old friends, moments of study, moments of recreation. The first part of this book attempts to portray as briefly as possible the scenic qualities of the campus. It also contains names and photographs of roommates, class-mates, dates, speaking acquaintances. The heads of departments, the president of the college are also a part of the first section. The sport section presents typographically and photographically the many phases of sports in this college. The records and achievements of the athletes of the college together with action shots of the larger games picture the popularity of sports in the college. The activities section includes the boards, ruling bodies, organizations, honoraries and military units. Added to this the staff offers a unique feature section. The pages of this section have been carefully filled with shots of some well-known and other not so well-known activities about the campus. The last section with the fraternities and sororities complete the 1934 received as have been those in the past. olverine. May it be as well Robert Kline Page 3 D I C A T I O N Coming here in the fall of 1919 Albert H. Nelson was placed in charge of the Freshman Composition for the Agricultural stu­ dents. Two years later a course in journalism was added to his duties and in 1929 Mr. Nelson was transferred to the Publica­ tion and Journalism Department. At the same time he was named head of the summer school session which position he still holds. After two years as associate professor in the Jour­ nalism Department he became acting head in 1932. At the present time his work includes, aside from the routine of regular instruction, the supervision of the mass of bulletins sent out by the college as well as administrative counselor to the Michigan State News, campus weekly, and the Wolver­ ine, Spartan yearbook. For his cooperation with the student publications and for his fine work in handling the college publications, the staff in all sincerity dedicates this volume of the Michigan State Wolver­ ine to Professor Albert H.

Somewhere back in newspaper history Duke Farley hung the title, "Old Rounder, the Second,” on me, gave me a column in the State News, named it the Spartan Merry Go Round, and told me to let the chips fall where they might. Well, the chips fell and a couple of typewriter ribbons burned out. And outside of a couple dirty looks, all went fairly well. No hard feelings, of course. But before I get personal again, I want to express my sincerest gratitude to all of the people who aided and abetted me in this venture, to the editor of the State News who accepted the drivel, to the editor of the Wolverine who held a silent hope that this might help the yearbook, and lastly and leastly, to all the suckers who read the column at all. Doug Graham But now and always SCANNING THE YEAR Well, folks, it’s been a swelegant year here at State, whether you flunked out or not. An­ other mighty crop of young blades and ladies were turned out in mass production, the State N ews came out periodically (even if it wasn’t delivered to you), fees were lowered, hours for co-eds lengthened, beer came back, Ted Weems sounded mighty good, some people got en­ gaged, nearly all of the parties were howling successes, the profs maintained their records and percentages of flunks, the pledges got their traditional beatings during Hell Week, and the customary people got drunk every now and then, by custom. It’s my purpose to hit the high spots, and the lower ones, in this fast re­ view of campusology for the past year. Okay, the lid’s off. THE TIP-OFF let s off to the introductions. My name is, will be, Graham. I’ve been confused with heaven forbid, but the fact remains that crackers and even Graham McNamee, I’m the only and original Doug Graham of Merry Go Round fame. Accept no substitutes. When I took the name of Old Rounder I knew it was a misnomer, but we wanted to keep up the heritage of Clarence VanLopik, the first Old Rounder. You see, I’m not quite the big, bad man implied in the title which so aptly fitted the Original VanLopik, de­ spite the fact that he went under the ta­ ble one fine June night in the S.A.E. kitchen before yours truly. By about two rounds. So I would like to correct any impressions you might have gath- erered that I was the real man-about- town. But that’s not telling you the dif­ ference between a Manhattan and a Cowboy Buck (one is a mouthwash; the other can be used to remove spots on polka dot ties.) Page 64 AMONG THE HEADLINERS PROMINENT PEOPLE First let’s take a glance at the people who made the headlines for one thing or another: Jerry Muscott, a likable class politician who fell heir to the sen­ ior class presidency, no mean actor when he sticks to character. . . . Duke Far­ ley, the ambling and amiable editor of the State News, whose sarcasm is biting to his reporters, but whose words sound­ ed sweet and sugary to Virgene Allen. . . . Bob Kline, wit of the campus, ed­ itor of the Wolverine, play-writer for the Piddle Players, and actor of merit. . . . Louis Asmus, of "take it easy, fel­ lers,” fame, president of the student council, and an excellent office-man if the chairs are soft enough. ... Chuck Kelley, junior class president and stu­ dent council man, an excellent politi­ cian. * * *• MORE HOI POLLOI More prominent people in screamer heads: "Black Mac” McNutt, hard- charging football hero. . . . Frank But­ ler, of grid fame, whose address is not given as the Kit Kat club . . . my own verification. . . % Jean Kreuter, newly elected business manager of the Wolver­ ine, who made a lot of connections dur­ ing the year as phone girl in Mary Mayo, one of them being Stanley E. Weitz, State’s greatest tennis prodigy. • And while we’re on tennis, don’t forget Rex B. Norris, another wicked racketeer ... on the courts, of course. . . . Jane "Filthy McNasty” McClellan, who both­ ered me all year with pleas to keep her name out of print. . . . Lucy Plowman, my own idea of a striking blonde. ... And George Prescott’s too. • . * * * PERSONALITIES . . And still they come to mind: Helen Abbott, A.W.S. president, and center of the later hours storm. . . . Dorothy Whitman, former band sponsor, and no small beauty. .«'Don Mont­ gomery, business head of the present State News, f. . Bill Mitchell, a typical S.A.E. . . . God bless ’em. Jill Rodney, leading . daughter of the famous Rodney clan, who be­ came engaged this year to Scion Thomas Ryan Warner. . . . Gracie Newins, petite freshman, whose dumb line packed ’em in this year. . . . Tom Ottey, blond Spartan distance star, who stepped out during the cross country season to win the national collegiate championship. . . . Mary Lou Hallman, charming junior who led the J-Hop grand march and reigned over the winter formal season in queenly pomp. . Chuck Palmer, whose ready wit and endless flow of jokes panics listeners. . . . Dick O’Dell, straight-forward editor-elect of the Wolver- . . . . Other headliners of the year: Curt Rogers, business manager of the Wolverine, who as ru­ mor has it married Barb Bradford, Kappa News co-ed editor, during the year. . . . But that’s under the hat yet. . . . Kurt Warmbein, flashy sophomore backfield grid star, who came up fast and looked like the class of the year among the footballers. . Carleton "Baby-face” Spencer, man of the world, who joined forces with Red Drennan’s orchestra last fall. . Eithel LaFontsee, deep-voiced torch singer, whose soloing with Drennan went over big. . . . Helen Sutton, ChiO charmer, who enjoyed an­ other successful season, largely with Dutch Kramer, another famous person from the Tic house. . Ralph Bristol, one of the finest fencers ever produced at State, and his team­ mate, Morris Glass, fiery-haired foil master. . . . Jeanne Smith, one of the most beautiful co-eds on the State campus. . . . . Page 65 . . ine . who recently added his first even dozen of dates. . . . Jim Quello, of Greek nose fame, who couldn’t resist a desire to make use of all the things he learned in mythology class in his writeups for the News. . And Sid Wagner, one of State’s greatest coming line­ men, with Art Buss, presently the finest. . . * * 85- BAGATELLES Random Bits: The drive to make white bucks popular all winter with the men students flopped miserably with the coming of snow. . . . Despite the fact that many canoes were stolen during the year, the popularity of the old fash­ ioned Spartan custom of coasting down the Red Cedar lived on. . . . How near the Senior class came to being suckers over their Senior Prom will never be . Tom O’Brien, personal known. nomination for the best dressed man on the campus. . Louise Collins, my personal choice for the co-ed who wears clothes the nicest. . . . Jack Peckham, the wonder boy, put on a successful one- man drive to install tails for the formal season. . . . . * * * LATE HOURS NOISE Just as I predicted ’way back in the early winter, nothing would come of later hours for co-eds. . . . The hullabaloo rose mightily for a while and had the effect of getting later hours for the winter term, which incidentally, were coming anyway. . . . And then in the spring the old 12:15 ruling came back without a mur­ mur. . Dean Conrad and A.W.S. played it smart and figured the thing would blow over in a while, which it did. . Anyway the kids had their fun for a time and thought they . The cleverest thing . had won a point. . . . . . politically was the smooth way they handled the all-college vote for later hours change. Observers noted that around 500 votes were cast with only a handful, meaning 2 5 or 30, favoring 12:15 deadlines. . . . The rest wanted hours longer, as were permitted in the winter term trial. . . . But were the results ever an­ . The nounced? ballots and all were rushed to Dean Conrad’s office where they became an unimportant part of that "interesting survey.” . They were not. . . . . SECRET IS OUT It comes to light now that the E.B. N.S. club of which Beth Emery was in­ stigator and president means no more than "Entertaining but not satisfying.” You figure it out! Incidentally, Helen Cairns’ Mae West Club was a flop be­ cause the members were all expelled for breaking rules by wearing girdles. MARY STEWART’S That vast body of Spartan coke-sippers, who temper their afternoons with cigarettes and the pause that refreshes, moved the scene of their guzzling somewhat nearer the campus last fall when Mary Stewart’s entered their new quar­ ters next to Ken Hick’s men’s shop. The old place, up the avenue aways, was a cozy spot, reeking with tradition, so some of the older sippers felt a bit out of place in the shiny new habitat, but that strange feeling soon disap­ peared. Bigger, more suitably arranged, and cleverly decorated, Stewart’s soon became a popular teatime rendezvous with State social­ ites. Besides the intellectual pursuits, armor- ous tete-a-tetes, and pure and simple dreaming that went on behind its doors, it is said that most of the senior class business was, let me say, transacted over the tables there. Page 66 SANDY’S GRILLE Another popular after-the-party ren­ dezvous is Sandy’s Grille, across the way from the State Theater. Harry Sand- strom, popular State graduate, and his wife, Josephine, another State student of former days, have a cozy little nook for sandwich-seekers. For a new establish­ ment, Sandy’s has done well and is con­ stantly growing in popularity. It is my own private opinion that Jo’s chicken salad sandwiches make excellent brain- food for tired and hungry students. PRODIGAL SON RETURNS John Barleycorn made his comeback during the course of the year, but there wasn’t much of a ripple in East Lansing. When first beer and pretzels arrived, blessed event, the city fathers decried its presence and slapped down an or­ dinance forbidding the sale of suds in East Lansing haunts. The total effect was a general exodus to Lansing or spots just outside of the town limits. Special signals for bummers to town were arranged. If you held up your thumb and two fingers it was taken for granted that you were going to town to sop up beer. Several bright spots including Joe Foley’s, Cot­ ton Club (now the Kit Kat club), Trianon, Palace Gardens and Palais Royale sprung into happy existences. Several of the AeTheons shed a few tears over the closing of their favorite "O.K.T.” joint, hard by the downtown area. AND NO DRAFTS, EITHER And who hasn’t heard of the student who came back from the military de­ partment with a saddle and took it up to his engineering prof with the com­ ment, "If you are going to ride me all term you might as well ride in comfort.” GRAND MARCHING As a little side-issue, how many remember the grand march at the Senior Ball? When the signal was given for the march, I was resting the weary dogs up in the balcony. At first it looked like the march was scheduled for up one stair and down the other. Where did all the people come from who were struggling about the floor during the march? Incidentally, the senior class, my friends, in a body, watched the whole parade on the floor—FROM the balcony. FAREWELL, SUCKERS And so, dear public, <,it comes time to bid farewell. I hope you’ve enjoyed this little bit of nonsense. Columning is not the most pleasant job on a newspaper and I’ve probably made a lot of enemies during the year. I really hope that they will forgive me for ribbing them be­ cause it has never been my intention to hurt anyone or to cast any reflections on perfectly good reputations. Now I sup­ pose I can sit back in my chair, toss the copy in the basket, plank my feet on the desk, and sigh, "Fooey!” I’ll reserve the "Nuts!” for you. Page 67 During the past year the Interfraternity Council has sponsored a movement to secure for the men students a Dean of Men. We have been opposed by a few students, but in the main the idea has met with the approval of the men students. However, it seems that few are well informed on the subject, or that many of them are disinterested. The duties of a Dean of Men may be sepa­ rated into two classes, namely, those dealing with men students in general, and those dealing with fraternities and their control. Securing a Dean would be just as important to non-fater- nity men as it would be to members of Greek letter organizations, as many of his duties are relative to men, not organizations. In the first place, a good Dean of Men acts as an adviser of the student should any grave difficulty confront him. At the present time there is no one on this campus to whom a stu­ dent can turn for this particular type of ad­ vice. A Dean is a representative of men stu­ dents in dealing with the faculty, as well as an arbiter in case of disagreements between stu­ dents and members of the faculty. At times these disagreements are purely imaginary, or the results of misunderstanding—but without someone to bring the two parties together the misunderstanding becomes a grudge. Recently an example of the true worth of a Dean has come to my attention. In a well- known eastern university, a student killed a pedestrian during a celebration after a football game. The student was neither criminal nor negligent, yet he was held on a charge of man­ slaughter. At the risk of tainting the name of his Alma Mater, the Dean of Men refused to expell the boy, because expulsion would no doubt have influenced the jury. By his actions the Dean saved the boy from a stigma which would have followed him throughout life. From the fraternity point of view, a Dean would centralize control and serve as a guide to fraternal policies. At the pesent time control is not in the hands of one man, but of many. It is difficult to determine just where the author­ ity lies because the various persons to whom we are responsible have not made clear-cut distinc­ tions as to their jurisdictions. For convenience and economy, the adminis­ tration has vested the authority to control fra­ ternity social activities in the office of the Dean of Women. The Interfraternity Council has expressed the desire to have this authority transferred into the hands of a man because we believe that a man would have a deeper appre­ ciation of fraternity problems than could a woman. We do not expect this action to be taken in the near future, due to the increased expense it would entail, but as soon as the col­ lege appropriation is increased enough to bear the additional expense, it should be done with­ out delay. Finally, fraternity houses at Michigan State need control by the college. Credit ratings have been falling for the past four years and bills outstanding are increasing rapidly, plac­ ing the fraternities in a precarious position. We would hesitate to advocate complete control of fraternity accounting, but there should be some means of preventing rash expenditures for improvements, new furnishings, and even new houses. Most universities maintain some de­ gree of financial control through the office of the Dean. We feel that the administration would aid our cause by appointing a dean with this authority. We appreciate the cooperation which the faculty has shown this year more than in the past, and wish to express the desire that it will increase in the future. The ultimate coopera­ tion will be the appointment by the administra­ tion of a dean to work with and to advise us in confronting the problems which are now be­ fore the men students. Doug Mechlin. Page 68 With the publication of the 1934 Wolver­ ine, an exceptional year in the history of stu­ dent journalistic work comes to a close. Al­ though the Agriculturist has ceased publica­ tion, the State News and the Wolverine have enjoyed excellent seasons. Whether this cir­ cumstance was due to superior management, the return of prosperity, or a combination of the above would at best be a guess. There­ fore we will coniine our remarks in this direc­ tion to congratulations to the editors and busi­ ness managers of these two publications. Now that the State News has resumed its regular semi-weekly status and the Wolverine has passed successfully through another trying year, we must look forward to new efforts to perpetuate this success and bring new journal­ istic projects to a profitable fruition. We believe it is beside the point to take up space expounding the values to be derived from campus journalistic enterprises. They are obvious. Nevertheless, there undoubtedly are more students on the campus who would make ex­ cellent journalists than are at present partici­ pating in publication activities. What, then, is needed is an agency for promoting new proj­ ects and interesting more students in them. Such an agency must throw its facilities open to the entire student body. It cannot be in the nature of an honorary requiring finan­ cial qualifications for membership. It must not be partial in its support. It must not lose sight of the true journalistic ideal of service to the whole group. Pleasure must have a place in its program but not to the exclusion of all other objectives. Campus publications are a potent force in student life. Upon their admin­ istrative officers rests a great responsibility. A campus-wide journalistic organization should strive to place the selection of these officials as far as possible upon a basis of merit. The Michigan State College Press Club has made a beginning on such a program. The field is wide open and there is much therein to challenge student interest. Mott Heath. Page 69 A. W. S. SHOULD ACT TO CHANGE CO-ED HOURS The State News was represented by its in­ quiring reporter in that vast field of student "pros and cons” this week when the question of later permission for co-eds was held before the spotlight of campus opinion. We are in no manner surprised at the trend of student attitude reflected in the replies to our enterprising reporter’s questionnaire. Out of eleven interviews there were eleven repre­ sentative M. S. C. undergraduates who de­ finitely bespoke themselves as favoring a more liberal policy with regard to co-ed hours. But this is only as we had already expected would be the case. The Student Council, too, by unanimous agreement in this week’s meeting has sub­ mitted the resolution to-wit: "The Student Council favors an extension of co-ed hour rulings to allow 1:30 permission on Friday nights and 12:30 permission on Saturdays.” A committee was selected from the govern- ing body to present this resolution at next Tuesday’s A. W. S. meeting. No indication has yet been given as to what stand the co-ed governing group shall take when the Council’s proposal reaches them. To date A. W. S. has remained silent on this It is safe to expect, however, that the score. decision of this representative women’s group will coincide with unmistakable trends already indicated by the student attitude on late hour privileges. Since A. W. S. has so much to do with the enforcement of co-ed rules, a favorable resolu­ tion by that body would add the weight necessary in effecting a change at this time. Their move is next. We look to the co-ed governing body for early determination on the course of action which will bring about these long hoped for adjustments. —Michigan State News NEW HOPES FOR LONGER CO-ED HOURS A promise of later co-ed hours here can be read in the action taken by the A. W. S. Council in last night’s meeting. Although the ultimate decision on this question of hour extension rests with a faculty social commit­ tee and the college administrative group, it has been conceded from the start that these would be favorable toward so reasonable a request coming from students of this institu­ tion. And what more logical body could be expected to present such a request than the Associated Women Students through their elected representatives who themselves take a part in enforcement of late hour rulings? Certainly no change could be hoped for with this group on record as opposing it. No public announcement is being made of the specific recommendations drawn up by the women’s council for presentation to the faculty committee. We are, therefore, not in position to approve or disapprove their action taken last evening. We do, however, most heartily commend A. W. S. for the good judgment displayed in inviting representatives for Spartan Women’s League, Pan-Hell coun­ cil and the women’s, dormitories to be present at that time and speak the minds of their respective groups on this question of co-ed late permission. By lending an ear to the popular clamor for longer hours, A. W. S. has assured us that Michigan State co-eds still have a voice for the improvement of their own conditions. Such movements constitute true student government. —Michigan State News TOO LITTLE INTEREST IN SELECTING STUDENT OFFICERS In the near future students will be given an opportunity to govern their class activities and to fill certain responsible positions on the campus. To most student voters this privi­ lege may seem trivial and hardly worth the bother required to go to the polls and make a choice. This attitude has undoubtedly been abetted by the activities of political groups on the campus. The methods employed by some office seekers give some students the im­ pression that the whole affair is cut and dried before the polls are even open. The latter, as a result, take the attitude that their vote amounts to little and will only serve to place some fraternity or sorority in power. Inasmuch as these elected officials are en­ trusted with the handling of thousands of dollars of student funds and the carrying out of projects that directly affect every person enrolled here in the school their selection is a matter that should interest every member of the student body. It should not be enough for the student to resolve to go to the polls on election day and cast his ballot for one or the other of the candidates. In the first place, nominations are important. If more students would attend class meetings and take an active part in the selection of candidates much could be done to prevent the steam roller methods of campus politicians from being very effective. Secondly, the voter should make some effort to familiarize himself with the candidates. We realize that everyone cannot become person­ ally acquainted with all of the candidates. However, it is a simple matter to obtain some knowledge of the candidate’s past record. Qualifications are important, especially for those offices which require a policy-forming ability. Also some of these officers will re­ ceive salaries and if the most good is to be derived by the students from this money, it behooves them to exercise a reasonable amount of care in choosing men to fill these positions. If a student cannot find the time or the inclination to properly exercise the voting privilege he might just as well stay away from the polls. It is the voter who comes to the Union to record his ballot without knowing who is running that the solicitors at the polls are looking for. This is the type of individual who makes it worthwhile for the candidate to have his supporters stationed at the door to pester the voter with requests to vote for one candidate or the other. These matters will bear consideration by everyone in attendance at Michigan State Col­ lege. All-college elections can be made a prac­ tical method of choosing efficient officers if the voters are willing to assume the obliga­ tions that go with such methods. —State News Page 71 This business of editing can be difficult and then again it can be comparatively simple. And this year when it was expected that it would be the most difficult help came from all sides to make it more fun than work. At the beginning every staff is faced with the financial problem. This year’s staff also had this to contend with but not for long. Gerald Muscott, Senior class president, evolved a plan by which every senior might have his or her own year book at no personal cost. This plan not only helped the staff and assured publica­ tion during a doubtful period but also en­ abled a large number of students to have a copy who otherwise would not. Then, too, the staff was fortunate in hav­ ing a business manager who understood his business. Curtis Rogers succeeded in doing what many others have failed to do. He, let us say chiseled for want of a better word, the best contracts that this school has ever had for the Wolverine thus making it possible to include more material, different and rather expensive features and at the same to reduce the price to students and to organizations be­ low any previous price. On the editorial staff the entire first part of the book is the work of Betty Shigley and Mary Watson and the staff working under them. New presentation, new views and new ideas are largely the work of these two Kappas. The sport section in its entirety is the work of Douglas Graham who carried the load of between fifty to sixty pages to fill alone which is no small task. The somewhat different feature section is the result of much planning on the part of Don Sexton who despite the fact that he has worked for less than two years on the staff has nevertheless been a great asset to the present staff. Don also carried the activities section for the greater part of the year and included the corps sponsors and military presentation in his offerings to the success of the 1934 Wolver­ ine. The social section of the book was edited by Dick O’Dell assisted by Louis Woodman. The writing for the section was done entirely by Woodman who also aided throughout the book by his fluent and free style of writing. Insofar as the divisional pages are con­ cerned a new process was evolved in Chicago Starting in the to give the desired effect. fall the finished plates were not in the hands of the printer until spring vacation. The scenics were also the product of a Chicago company. The photography for the book came from the Versluis Studios of Lansing with Mr. L. A. Versluis personally supervis­ ing the taking of the pictures. The feature section was shot with a graflex by Versluis as well as the modernistic shots of the corps sponsors. Mr. Laycock, campus photographer, assisted in the work by taking the pictures for the sport section. The photographers take the pictures, the engraver engraves them, the students write the copy and send it in, the CWA plastered our office for us, the senior class president sold our books for us so after all there’s very little to do.

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS Behind a big, becluttered desk in the gym­ nasium sits a short, rotund figure who guides the athletic destinies of Michigan State Col­ lege. He has a round, full face and friendly eyes. His pudgy hands flip energetically through the stacks of papers on his desk top. His name is Ralph H. Young and he holds the position of director of athletics. Within the past decade while Young has headed the athletic department, he has seen Michigan State’s Spartans rise steadily in the collegiate world of sports. Back in 1923 when Young first took over his present duties, State was but a small institution, athletically speak­ ing, struggling along under the shadows cast by the inveterate University of Michigan. Slowly, but certainly, the Spartans have risen from the ranks of underdogs until now they can enter the ring with almost any of the big-timers without giving up an ounce of weight. The Green and White banners have been carried on successful campaigns all over the nation, with the exception of the far west. In football, track, and cross-country, State is well-known among the Eastern rivals, while in basketball, baseball, and tennis the Spartans stand as powerful mid-western teams. Much of the credit for building up this rising re­ putation is due to the untiring energies of Ralph Young. When not tending to his duties in the office, Young steps into the role as head coach of track. Under his tutelage the Spartan track Page 7 5 Ralph H. Young squad has blazed an unforgetable record—a record which lists victories over leading track teams from all over the country. His proteges have brought home blue ribbons at one time or another from every major meet. COACH OF FOOTBALL ception the students are more enthusiastic now than ever. Expounding the famous Notre Dame sys­ tem of attack Bachman gave Spartan grid­ iron followers another first class football just at a time when Spartan hopes team seemed the lowest. In a schedule that listed seven major opponents Bachman’s team played heads up football from start to finish and turned in an admirable record. Bachman came to State from Florida Uni­ versity where his record for the past few sea­ sons had brought him nationwide recognition as one of the leading exponents of the system which he learned from the late Knute K. Rockne while playing on the Notre Dame University team. He previously coached at Northwestern University and Kansas State College. football The new coach gave Spartan players and followers something new in the way of grid­ iron mannerisms. Quiet and unassuming both on and off the field these traits are especially pronounced during the practice sessions. A quiet word here and there, a bit of advice or even a practical demonstration of his point seems to be getting just as good results if not better than the methods used by the violent tongue lashers. Bachman is looked upon as a "fair” coach. According to his team and those who know him personally he gives every man a chance and nothing more can be said of any coach. He is an experienced, dependable coach, capable of moulding fair materiál into smooth efficient ball-carrying machines. Since his coming a more practical and efficient coach­ ing mechanism is in operation which portends many successful seasons under the Bachman tutelage. Page 76 Charles W. Bachman One year ago this spring, March 9 to be exact, Michigan State College students, in­ structors and supporters gathered in the col­ lege gymnasium at an all-college convocation to welcome and honor a new football coach. Culminating a series of dickerings all over the country Charlie Bachman was appointed as the successor the well-known Sleepy Jimmy Crowley of Four Horsemen and State "Iron Men” fame. Enthusiastic in their re- for COACH OF BASKETBALL Known over the major portion of the nation as the originator and developer of the "Michi­ gan State system” of basketball play, Ben Van- Alstyne, head coach of the Spartan cage squad, ranks as a leader and pioneer in his chosen sport. Since he has been at State, VanAlstyne’s quin­ tets have invaded the strongholds of just about every big team in the cage world with success at one time or another. The victory percentages under the VanAl- styne regime have always been high. During the past five seasons his five won twelve con­ tests while dropping only five. Included in the list of victims were the University of Michil gan, twice defeated, Buffalo, Detroit, Wiscon­ sin and several others of importance. VanAlstyne, bespectacled mentor, is a strong proponent of team play and has built his at­ tack around fast passing, accurate basket- shooting, and a carefully planned series of blocking plays that have brought unmeasured success to State basketball teams. Though the State system has always stressed team play, VanAlstyne has developed many fine individ­ ual cagers during his work here. Buysse, Her­ rick, Rouse and VanFassen are his latest pro­ teges, while VanderRoest and Patchett culmi­ nated three years of excellent ball-playing with the winter schedule. Benjamin F. VanAlstyne light, State played the greatest game ever seen in Demonstration Hall with Notre Dame, but lost 34 to 33 after three blazing overtimes. Notre Dame, Marquette and Syracuse were the only teams to defeat the Spartans during the past season. Each one ranked along with the best in the country. In the season’s high- VanAlstyne has won acclaim for State on many courts since he came, here in 1926 and from a purely percentage viewpoint is probab­ ly the most successful State coach. COACH OF BASEBALL starts his windup, glares threateningly at the runner on third, and then lines the ball to­ ward the plate. Suddenly all is action on the diamond. As soon as the white ball leaves the pitcher’s fingers State’s runner races pell-mell for the plate. Is he foolish? Wait! The batter sticks out his bat, meets the pitched ball softly, and dumps it lazily down toward third base. A cloud of dust rises as the State man slides safely across the plate with the run. The enemy pitcher is caught flatfooted. He trips awkwardly toward the slowly rolling ball. He fumbles it in picking it up, whirls toward first base, and in his hurry throws wildly into the stands. Safe all around! The Spartans have scored a much-needed run, brought home a victory—and Coach John Kobs has triumphed again with another of his wily baseball coups. Solidly built, broad shouldered, and muscu­ lar, Kobs is one of the smartest baseball coaches now in the college game. He started out tutoring Spartan nines ’way back in 1924 and has picked up worlds of diamond lore in that decade. His chief glee comes in out­ smarting the opponents. He imparts a par­ ticular finesse to his players’ style that has allowed some of them to step up for Big League trials. Last season his club won thirteen games and lost seven. This year he must rebuild a Spar­ tan combination from rookie material after losing most of his mainstays by graduation. Page 78 John H. Kobs State has a runner on third base with only one down. The score is tied and a run now may mean a victory. State’s batsman shifts his feet uneasily, taps the plate gingerly with his bat, and glances to the dugout for his sign. He gets it and passes it on with a fingering of his cap. The opposing hurler COACH OF CROSS COUNTRY If it is true that great cross country run­ ners are made and not born then Coach Lauren P. Brown, head mentor of Michigan State’s distance harriers, has made a stack of them in his three years here. "Brownie,” rather short of stature but muscular, began his own career here at Mich­ igan State with a blazing record as a distance runner. His name was flashed in headlines many times as he brought new laurels to Michigan State. Then he graduated and ac­ cepted the offer to take former Coach Morton track distance coach. Mason’s position as From the first it was evident that Brown would be a successful mentor. He had picked up many inside tricks of the trade during his years of competition and imparted that in­ formation to his pupils. He pursued an am­ bitious policy that was soon to raise Spartan cross country to new peaks. His first star was Clark Chamberlain, whose fleet and untiring legs carried him through three brilliant seasons. Then came Tom Ottey, blond Ardmore, Pa., star, and the fans began to speak of the three as the State harrier triumvirate. The crowning glory to Lauren Brown and his team came last fall when the Spartans in­ vaded the tough VanCourtland Park course outside of New York City for the national collegiate cross country championships. Tom Ottey finished first in that race, capturing the United States championship from a lineup of stellar performers that included the coun­ try’s best. His great performance inspired the Lauren P. Brown remainder of the team to crash through with the team championship. It was the first time in history that Mich­ igan State had garnered a national crown in any sport and much praise was heaped on the squad that turned the trick. Behind it all was the retiring figure of Lauren Brown. Page 79 Lyman L. Frimodig Behind the grilled ticket windows in the Spartan "front of­ fice” stands a tall, lean man who has the ponderous task of guid­ ing the financial end of State’s athletic plant. All of the routine matters go through his hands, from the sale of thousands of foot­ ball tickets to the minutest expense account for the fencing team. His name is Lyman L. Frimodig. Everyone calls him "Frim” and as a popular figure of the ath­ letic department he ranks high. It is not unusual that "Frim” should rhyme with "vim” for that typifies his spirit. Off duty, Frimodig has a wide diversity of interests. Most any time he can be seen playing dominoes or checkers in the varsity clubrooms— and occasionally he sneaks off on fishing excursions with other departmental men. In last fall’s city elections he went out and was elected Mayor of East Lansing. Frim graduated from State when this institution was bet­ ter known as M.A.C. He took part in many sports as a star for the Aggies. At the present time, he is coach of freshman baseball, assisting in building up the rookie crop each year for John Kobs. Miles Casteel Miles, or better "Mike,” Casteel is the sort of man that any athletic department would like to have on its staff. He can coach just about everything—and does. Casteel at the present time ranks as first assistant to Charlie Bachman in coaching football. His task is to build up a powerful backfield. Oddly enough, however, he rarely sees his proteges per­ form in an actual game because his other duties carry him abroad just about every Saturday during the grid season to scout opponent teams. Many times it has been his complete and accurate scouting charts that have enabled the Spartans to conquer tough opponents. In the football off-season, Casteel helps Ralph Young with his trackmen, coaching the field event performers. Mike, rather short of build, with piercing eyes, and dark hair, is one of the most likeable men in the department. During his ten year stay with the Spartans he has built up a host of friends who predict that someday he will step into a major coaching job here—with real success. Fendley Collins Fendley Collins, Michigan State’s coach of wrestling, isn’t exactly the man you’d ordinarily pick as a victim for mayhem or assault—unless you were an exceptionally speedy runner. Because if he caught you, and he probably would, the chances are that your delicate frame would be badly twisted and knotted in some­ thing under ten seconds. Collins is every inch a man who started out as an exceptionally strong athlete and has kept his condition even after his days of collegiate competition. Tall, muscular, solid, Collins earned national honors for him­ self as a heavyweight matman at Oklahoma, home of some great mat artists. Now he has the duty of passing out choice pointers to State wrestlers. Fie knows all the tricks of the trade and when his pupils are slow to learn he often takes to the mat himself and teaches them in the hard school of experience. After the pupil has been cast about the mat with body slams, whirls, and whatnot common to wrestlers, he has generally learned how to handle him­ self in the ring without taking a bad beating. Collins has gone a long ways in helping the sport of wrestling at State by turning out several formidable winners in the up-and- coming collegiate game. Leon D. Burhans Leon D. Burhans, instructor of physical education in the State athletic department, doesn’t regularly coach any sport, but takes an active part in preparing many of the younger Spartans for later collegiate competition. Burhans yearly takes over the incoming freshman gym classes and coaches them into condition. As an instructor in the freshman gym sections, Burhans does most of the work in teaching boxing. It is his contention that every man should have some fairly substantial ideas about the manly art of self-defense before he graduates from college. When his classmen fail to get into the proper spirit of the thing, Burhans often dons the gloves himself and enlivens the affair with a few well-placed hooks or uppercuts. Burhans is probably one of the most jovial men on the athletic staff. He thoroughly enjoys his work and imparts his enthusiasm to his charges. His classes always get a big kick out of working with him, whether it be turning difficult flips in his gymnastic courses or playing indoor baseball in his games section. Russel Daubert At the head of Michigan State swimming stands a man of short stature, Coach Russell "Jake” Daubert. But "Jake” is no small figure when it comes to turning out good swimmers. Daub­ ert has only been at State since 1929 but in that short time has developed several star tankmen who have gone far in collegiate swimming. Swimming is Still but a minor sport, comparatively a baby among the other more firmly established sports, but it is coming up fast with the Spartans. State teams always have difficulty in forming a fully rounded out squad that is strong in all events, but each year there are one or two men developed here who are head and shoulders above the others and who show the way for State in competition with other tank teams. The development and rise of swimming, both in prestige and popularity, is due largely to this small man, "Jake” Daubert. Daubert has a great interest in developing swimming to a high rank at State and is putting forth a great deal of effort every year to reach his desires. It is likely with "Jake” to guide the team, and all the facilities available, that State swimming is due for big things in the future. Charles Ball An excellent tennis player himself, it is reasonable that Charley Ball, oldest in point of service of any State coach, should coach the Spartan tennis team. Red-haired, lanky, and with a fiery air, Ball takes time off every spring from his duties as chemistry professor to act as mentor of college tennis. Last season, with two of his finest products at his service, Ball turned out a sensational team which cleaned up on everyone in thé collegiate field, winning finally the Michigan Intercollegiate singles and doubles titles. His team dropped but one match during the year. Even better things are in prospect for his outfit this year. On the courts, Ball strides up and down the sidelines nervously, watching his men in action, pointing out changes in strategy, and eagle-eying close line decisions. He is always making sug­ gestions to his players on how they may improve their games—frequently uncovering hidden strong spots in each player’s attack. Bare-headed, hair blowing in the breeze, Charley Ball reminds one very much of a Napoleon as he stalks up and down directing his players through crucial matches. Tom King Tom King came to Michigan State last year along with Charley Bachman to assist in coaching the Spartan football eleven. He was hired to. act as end coach and soon won the enthusiastic loyalty of every State gridman. King, a natty dresser with a fine personality, went right to work on the State flankmen and the results of his efforts were soon evident. He turned out Ed Klewicki and Lou Zarza as his regulars, two of the best ends State has played in several years. Under them, King developed Baker and Jackson into capable performers. Under him the end play of the Spartans greatly improved. King, a Notre Dame graduate, came to State with plenty of experience behind him. He began originally, following his gradua­ tion from the Rambler institution where he was a football letter- winner, as a coach in Cincinnati, then was appointed director of athletics at the University of Louisville where he built up excellent teams in all sports. Lrom Louisville he came to State. Being a young man he has shown himself as coming up in the college coaching world and State can be proud to have him on its athletic staff. George Bauer George Bauer, Michigan State’s coach of fencing, has just closed one of his most successful sea­ sons as director of Spartan foilmen since he began coaching in this sport in 1931. His squad went through a tough season with only one defeat, while Ralph Bristol and Morris Glass were so outstand­ ing in the sport that they were awarded major letters in recognition of their ability at the close of the year. Bauer, stocky and rather short, began his career as a fencer in a Green and White uniform. He was the first State fencer to display real talent in this ancient sport which as yet is still new among collegiate circles. Upon his graduation he was named coach of fencing at State, following Prof. Waff a who formerly taught the Spartan squad. Through his energetic instruction State has risen steadily in fencing until its teams now rank among the leaders of the mid-west. The Spartans have also competed successfully in Michigan amateur meets, bringing home several individual championships. Page 83 ATHLETIC HIGHLIGHTS MAJOR SPORTS FOOTBALL Buss first Spartan in history to block a Michigan punt. Five passes completed in five attempts in second half of the Illinois Wesleyan game. State punted 20 times against Marquette. Warmbein averaged 21 yards in carrying the ball 6 times against Syracuse. Warmbein made longest Spartan run of the year in scoring after a 70 yard sprint in the Syracuse game. BASKETBALL State lost the longest game of the year to Notre Dame, 34-33, in 3 overtime periods. Buysse led season’s scoring with 126 points. Herrick played 656 minutes during the 1934 season, putting in more time than any other State performer. Van Fassen dropped in 32 foul points, 4 more than his nearest Spartan competitor. BASEBALL. Pemberton turned in 5 victories from the mound and turned in the only shutout when he hurled a 4-0 win over Iowa. Kircher led the hitters with an average of .421, batted in 16 runs, and stole 9 bases to lead in these departments of the game as well. The ten-inning trumph over Northwestern, 5-4, was the longest game played by the State nine in 1933. TRACK Keast, Hovey, Warren, and Pongrace won the 2-mile event at the Armour Tech Relays, setting a new record of 7:52.3. Ottey established a new 2-mile record for the Yost Field House with a time of 9:24.5. The mile medley relay team composed of Warren, Cobb, Hoff, and Pongrace set a new United States Intercollegiate record of 3:37.4 at the West Virginia Relay Carnival. Ottey hung up a new 2-mile record of 9:28.7 at the Michigan State Indoor Track Carnival. Ottey ran the 2-mile event against Marquette in 9:46.7 to establish a new gym record at that institution. FENCING MINOR SPORTS 5 victories and 1 loss gave State her most successful season in this sport. TENNIS Most successful season in State’s, history with 11 wins and 1 defeat, including the first victory ever recorded over the Wolverines. Weitz dropped only one set during the 193 3 season, that one going to Carson of Ypsilanti in the finals of the State Intercollegiates, Weitz winning, 4-6, 6-3, 8-6. Weitz and Norris won the State Intercollegiate doubles crown from Carson and Botts, 6-2, 6-0.

Despite the lack of touch- VARSITY FOOTBALL When Charles W. Bachman first entered his office in Room Three of the gymnasium to take up the duties as head coach of football at Michigan State College early last spring, he saw on the wall before his desk a large placard which told more eloquently than anything else the tremen­ dous job he faced. On that wall was the 1933 schedule of opponents— Grinnell, Michigan, Illinois Wesleyan, Marquette, Syra­ cuse, Kansas State, Carnegie Tech, and Detroit. It loomed as the toughest assignment a Spartan football mentor ever confronted. But Charley Bachman was used to difficult tasks so he peeled off his coat, tackling the job in his earnest, straight­ forward manner. The results of his energy were not long in being shown. Even during the early spring drills the ardent State followers noted a new snap and precision in the way things clicked. The squad showed more pep and team morale picked up as Bachman served notice that all positions were open to candidates who were willing to work, and work hard. In the fall Bachman took up the task anew. The Spar­ tans entered their training camp two weeks before the opening game of th'e season and the heavy work was soon under way. On deck for service were several veterans from the Crowleyan regime, among whom were Bernard McNutt, Arthur Buss, Bob Terlaak, Frank Butler, Al Kircher, Bob Armstrong, Jim McCrary, Russell Lay, and Ed Klewicki. Besides the array of veterans there was a promising group of sophomores coming up. Opening the season, Michigan State scored a 14 to 0 triumph over Grinnell College of Grinnell, Iowa. They suffered their first reverse of the year at Ann Abor on the following Saturday, 20 to 6, but did get some moral re­ tribution by scoring their first touchdown against the Illinois Wesleyan, the next op­ Wolverines since 1918. ponent, was subdued after a hard battle, 20 to 12. In a mud-covered field at Marquette, Wisconsin, State emerged victorious, 6 to 0, over the University of Marquette on October 21. Bernard McNutt Captain 193 3 Varsity Football When the curtain rang down Novem­ ber 2 J on the Spartan football season and Captain Bernard McNutt laid aside his football toggery for the last time, he had closed a career that will long be re­ membered by State grid fans. For three years, spectators followed his "23” jersey on brilliant runs, sharp off-tackle dashes, and thrilling cut-backs. Ofttimes they rose to their feet as the fleet Spartan back sped down the side­ lines on touchdown jaunts. In the role of a blocker, his hulking figure cut down many a would-be tackier, paving the way for his ball-carrying team-mates; "Black Mac” began as an Iron Man and played as a half and a full-back. He ripped and slashed through enemy lines, took some painful bumps, but finished smiling. Page 86 Returning to their home stand on the next week-end, the Spartans reached their peak of condition and swamped the highly-touted Syracuse University eleven to the tune of 27 to 3. The punch and fire of the State machine was no less than brilliant. Following that spectacular achievement, the Bachman- coached team met and held to scoreless ties two of the nation’s most powerful teams, Kansas State and Carnegie Tech. Both opponents ranked high as teams with real oD fensive power. In closing the season on November 2 5 at Detroit, the State eleven took a reverse on the chin from the University of Detroit gridders. The score was 14 to 0. Surveying the whole season, it was a success. Consider­ ing the repute of the opponents, the Spartans did well to go through the year with but two reverses, especially when one of them was by a team which rightfully claimed the National Football Championship. To match their two defeats the State squad had four victories, which isn’t a bad percentage. The other two games which ended in scoreless ties were in effect moral victories. Coming up fast in their first year of service, a group of sophomores, who bid fair to become leading lights in the Spartan attack next year, took a large share of the honors. They were Kurt Warmbein, ace backfield man who scored the touchdown against Michigan; Sid Wagner, bruising tackle; Dick Colina, flashy halfback, and Chuck Brown, battering fullback. Probably one of the outstanding, if not the most inter­ esting, developments in Michigan State football during the season was the employment of a forward passing at­ tack as a scoring weapon. Previous coaches at the Spartan camp always shied at the idea of building a formidable aerial game, but Charley Bachman injected the new device into State football and met with success. The use of a passing attack was consistent with Coach Bachman’s ideas of presenting an "open” type of game. If his first year’s work can be taken as any indications, we may suspect that future Spartan elevens may count among their number some excellent forward passers. Arthur Buss Voted Most Valuable Player for 193 3 At the closllof the 193 3 grid season, Art Buss, State’s big, ambling tackle, was: chosen the Most Valuable Player and re-1 ceiyed in recognition for his brilliant services the Gov. William Comstock Award. • Mentioned several times as an All- American, Buss received in addition the plaudits of coaches, fans, and sportswrit- ers. Even opponents joined in the praise. Paradoxically, slow-moving, shuffling Arthur slid through opposing lines and nailed ball-carriers with lightning speed. He became in his three years on the Spar­ tan eleven an expert at diagnosing enemy plays and then smearing them all over the lot. Quarterbacks learned quickly that left tickle was no place to make yardage. Art Buss, a tackle among tackles, was. undoubtedly one of the greatest lines­ men ever to play for State.

Wiseman MICHIGAN STATE, 14; GRINNELL, 0 The first edition of Coach Charles Bach­ man’s Michigan State Spartans was unveiled with all the attendant ceremony and fanfare on September 3 0 before a record-breaking and record-making crowd of 12,000 spectators who jammed both sides of the stadium to watch the 1933 State eleven pass and run through Grinnell College of Iowa for two touchdowns and a 14 to 0 victory. A passing attack, something new for Spar­ tan teams, was uncorked in the second period which paved the way for both of State s touchdowns. A new snap and precision in running plays, coupled with a carefully laid aerial attack, marked the playing of the Bach­ man-coached machine. A long pass from the hands of Jerry Jones to the arms of Zarza gave the Spartans their first chance to score. It was Jim McCrary, the hard-charging colored fullback, who got the honors of crossing the goal first. He rammed through the line for the six points and Jones converted the extra point. The second touchdown came moments later on another long pass, this time from Bob Armstrong to Ed Klewicki, putting the ball on the 20-yard line. Al Kircher, crack quar­ terback, maneuvered the team to the 3 -yard line with a series of off-tackle slants and re­ verses and end runs and then slipped the ball to Jerry Jones who sailed over for the marker. He added the extra point again. That ended all scoring threats and both teams battled up and down the field until the final gun. Grinnell came perilously close to the goal line but Alvin Jackson, gigantic colored end for State, loomed up on the hori­ zon to intercept a short pass and definitely void any hopes the visitors might have held for scoring on State. The Alma Mater Before the Game. ■ ■ fflSffi —B— MMM . SiIìbiìBIiII '%S ■I r !iB j ■ UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN, 26 MICHIGAN STATE, 6; Lay Kircher Terlaak In their second contest of the season, Mich- igan State s eleven bowed before a smashing barrage of three Wolverine touchdowns in the first quarter to drop a 20 to 6 decision to their traditional rivals, the University of Michigan, This same Michigan team was later to go through an undefeated season to win the Na­ tional and Western Conference Champion­ ships, But despite the fact that Harry Kipke’s great machine corraled the victory, they failed to get a corner on all the glory, for the fight­ ing Spartan squad, all keyed to toss a monkey wrench in Michigan’s lofty plans, banged and battered the touted Wolverines all through the second half much to the consternation of eleven Michigan men and any number of stolid Wolverine fans. The banging and battering culminated in an 8 6-yard march to the first touchdown a State team, had scored against Michigan since 1918, thereby ending a 15-year touchdown famine which had cast a gloomy pall over the Spartan camp. Taking the ball on their own 14 yard line in the third period the Statemen opened up a furious aerial attack that must have brought memories of Benny Friedman and Benny Oosterbaan to Michigan followers. Sophomore Kurt Warmbein began the long march with a flip to Charley Muth, substitute quarter. Muth, after a thrilling juggling act in mid- field nestled the ball safely in his arms and ran to Michigan’s 48 yard line before he was dragged down. Then Dick Colina, another reserve, assumed the role of line cruncher and spun his 148 pounds through the Great Michigan Line to the 3 5 yard line. The quarter ended and as the teams exchanged goals, many Michigan­ ders pooh poohed the idea of a State threat on the sacred home goal. However, the local fears were realized when Muth, grabbing the ball on the hip from cen­ ter, quickly faded back, turned' and sailed a long and accurate pass to Warmbein who took the ball on the run, outran the fleet Stan Fay and slid over the Michigan goal stripe just inside the sidelines. The try for point was smothered due to a bad pass from center. For the first time in the memory of a good many alumni a score went up opposite "State” in a State-Ann Arbor game. It was the swift ball carrying of Heston and Everhardus of Michigan which ruined State’s chances. Everhardus scored the first and third touchdowns in the disastrous first canto, while Heston was credited with the second. The accurate punting of John Regeczi was a major factor in the Michigan game. The Wolverine’s tricky huddle system, em­ ployed early in the game was also irksome to State’s defense preparations. According to the scribes, the Spartans out­ did the Wolverines in first downs, making nine to Michigan’s five. The home club, how­ ever, picked up more yardage in the course of the afternoon. Michigan failed to complete one pass. Page 90 MICHIGAN STATE, 20; ILLINOIS WESLEYAN, 12 The third clash of the season scheduled with Illinois Wesleyan, a supposedly minor oppo­ nent, proved to be one of the toughest tilts of the year for the Spartans. The State club had to put on a last half spurt to overcome the big and bruising visitors, and then it was only by one touchdown, 20 to 12. All during the first half the slow-starting Spartans played lethargically. The visiting Titans, led by Leach, Kaska and Bronson scampered through the State eleven for sub­ stantial yardage. Wesleyan drove hard after getting the ball on State’s 40 and converted a touchdown in short order. Their second marker came moments later after a State pass was intercepted. The Titans took to the air on two successful passes and made good on another touchdown close on the heels of the first. As the teams trotted down the runways at half-time the score stood 12 to 0 with the local team on the short end of the count. The State eleven then came back with some of the dash and pace that is characteristic of the Spartan teams in the latter parts of games. State took the ball on the kickoff and served notice on the first play that \{7esleyan must take a different attitude towards the game in progress. The first Spartan touch­ down came on a pass from Muth to Warm- bein, who scored standing. Again a forward pass to McCrary, who nabbed the ball just as he crossed the goal line, resulted in a marker. The Spartans then led by two points, 14 to 12. Once in the lead, the Spartans got up more steam and the Wesleyan defenses faded before a vicious attack. On what was probably the best individual performance of the day, Jim McCrary, fleet colored fullback, slashed his way through the secondary to run untouched for 34 yards and the third Spartan touch­ down. The game ended with the State eleven still battering the crumbling Illinois line. State made 12 first downs, Wesleyan was credited with nine. The Spartans threw ten passes and completed five. The total yardage gain gave State a clear-cut advantage. State gained 320 yards to the visitor’s 176. Bob Armstrong, halfback, carried the ball ten times and averaged 6.1 yards on every try. MICHIGAN STATE, 6; MARQUETTE, 0 Greatly hampered by many minor injuries their rough encounter with Illinois after Wesleyan the week before, Michigan State entrained for Milwaukee, Wisconsin, to meet Marquette University on October 21. Any hopes that the Marquette Hilltoppers might have entertained for a successful sea­ son were delivered a rude blow in the mud- battle that ensued. State took advantage of the only break of the game handed them early in the first quarter to drive across a touch­ down and bring home a 6 to 0 victory. A hard, slanting rain was beating down as the teams went out for their pre-game warm­ ups. They literally waded to their places for the kick-off. Someone laconically remarked that it was, a swell day for a swimming meet. At least, it was a far cry from the kind of weather Los Angeles football announcers rave about. A Marquette fumble on their own 10-yard line which Lou Zarza pounced on in a puddle paved the way for the lone score. Captain McNutt cracked off tackle for 10 yards on the first play to score standing up. The try- for-point was unsuccessful. From that moment on, a small huddled-up crowd of Marquette Alumni, gathered for their Homecoming celebration, sat dejectedly in the drenched stands waiting vainly for the Hilltoppers to score. Throughout the re­ mainder of the tilt the two elevens, unrec­ ognizable in their spattered uniforms, battled up and down the field, but no further scor­ ing resulted. Marquette put on a great threat later in the game when they battered their way to the State two-yard line and had four downs to push across a marker. Four times the Hill- toppers rammed into the Spartan line, but four times they were repulsed. This spectacu­ lar goal line stand marked one of the times of greatest defensive strength the Spartans showed during the entire season. It was the inspired slashing into the battering of Avery Paxson, State’s reserve center, that turned the Hilltopper’s best efforts. After their close call at the goal line,, the Spartans put on an effective demonstration of the old Michigan method of playing safe and sane football. Every time they got pos­ session of the slippery ball, they punted. They did this some twenty times during the fray. It must have been an embarrassing afternoon for the Hilltop safety man, who was con­ fronted all during the afternoon with catch­ ing a weaving and elusive pigskin. So conservative was the State style of play that the Spartan field general called only a dozen running plays during the entire game. And that was disappointing to the scouts who came and saw nothing. The only thing they took home were empty pages on the State offense. But it was smart football, and it brought a well-earned victory. MICHIGAN STATE, 27; SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY, 3 Charley Bachman’s Spartans rose to what was probably their highest peak during the season by turning back a heavy and tough Syracuse University eleven, 27 to 3. This overwhelming defeat handed the touted East­ erners, long rivals with State, stamped "suc­ cess” all over the Spartan schedule. The Orangemen stepped out early in the tilt which promised to be the toughest of the year and staged a vicious assault on State’s goal line. Their first thrust went to the State 18-yard line. Terlaak nailed that attempt by knocking down a lateral pass. The next try was more successful and the ball was ad­ vanced to the 15-yard line. An aroused Spar­ tan line hurtled into the center of the Syra­ cuse vortex and pushed the visitors back inch by inch for three downs. On the fourth, Joe Vavra, right tackle, dropped back and booted out a square 20-yard placekick giving Syra­ cuse three points. From that moment on, State’s eleven began its steady pushing. Syracuse’s heavy forward wall was driven to cover by the magnificent play of Lay and Terlaak. Art Buss wasn’t exactly laying down all afternoon, either. The first Spartan touchdown came in the third quarter. On the first play of the touchdown march Warmbein swept around his end for 18 yards, aided by hard and effec­ tive blocking. McNu.tt wriggled through left tackle and side-stepped his way for a 21-yard gain. Then McCrary put his big legs to work and found another gaping hole on the left side through which he scuttled for 15 more yards, putting the ball on the Syracuse 11 -yard line. A startled Orange defense hurried to cover the holes and staved off the State swarm for three downs, but on the last try Kircher worked off to the side, faked a run, then flipped a short pass to Klewicki who nabbed the ball and fell over the goal-line. That gave State a lead they never lost. During the last period the Spartans loosed a veritable hail of brilliant plays on the that wearying visitors. Warmbein’s punt Page 92 rolled out on the one-yard line put the Syra­ cuse eleven in a bad spot. The punt was short, so after a few running plays Warmbein zipped a 20-yard pass to Klewicki for the second touchdown. The Orangemen tried in exasperation to punch through the State line but gave it up and punted to State’s own 30. It was then flashy' sophomore that Warmbein, State’s back, pulled his ace run of the year. On the first play, he wheeled off right end, took to cover under a heavy Spartan advance guard, and continued his long dash straight down the sidelines for seventy yards and a startling touchdown. That thrust wilted the Syracuse defense completely and scored a big hit with the frenzied rooters. Vic Hansen’s men filled the air with passes, but had to give the ball up on downs to State on their own 45. Time was fleeting and the Statemen drove hurriedly down the field over the demoralized visitors. They beat the gun with McCrary scoring the fourth goal. He added the twenty-seventh point a mo­ ment later. It was a very jubilant Spartan, squad that filed off the field that day, and a disallu- sioned Syracuse University team that packed its grips that night to return to the East. MICHIGAN STATE, ; KANSAS STATE, 0 Following their victory over the Univer­ sity of Syracuse and their flashy display of scoring power, the Bachman-coached machine turned to Kansas State, coached by Bo Mc- Millin, a former All-American at Centre. Meeting in the State stadium on November 4, both teams fought bitterly in a great game of defensive skill which ended in a scoreless tie. The lack of scoring in no way affected the thrilling aspect of the tilt, as both teams put on wild rallies to push over a touchdown. Whenever the offensive team neared the goal­ line, however, the defenses were tightened and the threat staved off. Unable to pierce the tough Kansas State line, or break down the strong secondary de­ fense, the Spartans battled all afternoon for a score that never resulted. The State offen­ sive looked good at times, but whenever the scoring opportunity arose it was halted by the Wildcats. The visitors, on the other hand, led by the highly-publicized Ralph Graham and Dougal Russell, hailed as All-American candidates, were effectively bottled up and kept clear of the Spartan goal-posts. Early in the game after an exchange of punting formalities, the Spartans drove down into visitor territory. Jim McCrary took the ball 15 yards on two plays to the Kansas 3- yard line. McNutt then fumbled and the ball was lost. The State machine came back with another assault a short time after which carried them deeper into enemy territory. The Spartans leveled their guns on the Wildcat secondary this time. Armstrong sent out a long, looping pass to McNutt for a 2 3-yard gain, putting the ball on the 3 5 -yard line. McCrary cracked the line three times and got to the 20. Three plays gained eight yards, but the fourth fell just short of a first down and Kansas took the ball and quickly punted out. In the second period, it was the visitor’s turn to threaten. Armstrong, punting from behind his own goal-line, sent out a nice spiral to Russell who immediately got loose and tore down the sidelines to the State 9- yard' line before he was grounded. Two line plays- lost, so Morgan dropped back on third down to pass. His toss was accurately placed to Russell in the far corner of the end zone but Russell dropped the ball behind the goal. From then until the middle of the fourth canto, the State men had their hands full stopping the battering assault on the goal- line. Once the Wildcats passed incomplete oyer the goal, and again they were stopped on downs at the 20-yard line. When the vis­ itors dared to repeat their thrust again, the Page 93 State line became unruly and led by Art Buss, Lou Zarza, Frank Butler, and Sid "Wag­ ner threw the Kansas attack back. The game ended with each team increasing its defen­ sive strength. In point of statistics, State made ten first downs and Kansas eight. The yards from scrimmage were matched, but the Wildcats used the air to net 93 yards. The home club got but 5 5 yards in this manner. MICHIGAN STATE, 0; CARNEGIE TECH, 0 Carnegie Tech, one of the nation’s strong­ est teams last fall, invaded the State strong­ hold on Nov. 11 for the first annual "State Day” program and provided the hardy spec­ tators who braved the frigid gale with some of the greatest defensive football ever wit­ nessed on the Spartan field. The game ended in a scoreless tie and brought out a great line duel that will prob­ ably go down in history. Besides the battle of the lines, each team staged a great punt­ ing contest whenever they could take advan­ tage of the wind. The greatest punt of the game was furnished by Stateman Bob Arm­ strong who lifted one from his own 15-yard line that rolled into the Tech end-zone. State won the toss and chose the wind ad­ vantage. They utilized the wind to punt on first downs, keeping the ball well down in Tech territory. The Spartan line, led by But­ ler and Klewicki, who were particularly effec­ tive in batting down the Carnegie ball-car­ riers, was breaking through with regularity and stopping all running plays. Little Tore- bus, 148-pound half, was the only visitor who could gain ground. An intercepted pass by Kircher in the sec­ ond period gave State a chance to score. The Spartans drove hard into the Tech defense and pulled out two first downs and 32 yards. They lost the ball only to come back stronger. Kircher returned a punt 18 yards to his own 28 and then McNutt slid off his own left tackle, cut back, and dashed down the field 66 yards. He was brought down finally on the seven-yard line by Torebus who caught up with him and cut him down with a last desperate plunge. Three line smashes and an offside penalty against Tech gave State fourth down and a yard to go for a touchdown. McCrary drove straight into the line, at­ tempted to dive over, but fell short of a goal by inches. In the second half, both teams opened an aerial attack to gain ground. Armstrong passed once to McNutt to put the ball on Carnegie’s 3 5-yard line. McNutt hit the line and then McCrary ripped through to the 12- yard line. Warmbein tried two thrusts into the Tech line, gaining seven yards. On fourth down, Muth called for a place-kick. But the gun, ending the third quarter, sounded and McCrary had to switch ends, kicking then into the wind. The attempt was slightly wide. After that attempt, Tech countered with a hard blast at the State goal-line. The spec­ tacular running of Torebus, plus two sue- cessful passes, enabled the visitors to come within a yard of a marker, but the effort was turned back successfully. Carnegie tried again to score, this time by a place-kick which was declared no good as it was short of the up­ rights. Armstrong, McNutt, and Buss stood out in the play for State, while Stewart and Torebus played excellent games for Carnegie. It was the shifty and speedy running of this latter player that caused the State team most of its troubles. MICHIGAN STATE, 0; DETROIT, 14 Hammered punch-drunk by a series of games with some of the toughest competition in the country, the Spartans journeyed to De­ troit and dropped the final game of the sea­ son to a team which was hitting its stride. After sixty minutes of hard, smashing foot­ ball, State staggered off the field on the short side of a 14 to 0 score. Again the Sophomore backfield men carried off most of the honors of the game. In the last half, trailing by what turned out to be the final score, Colina, Warmbein, and Brown alternated in a 65-yard drive which fell short of a score on an incomplete forward pass 5 yards short of the last line. Detroit got the jump on the Spartans early in the first quarter and with a series of breaks plus the outstanding ability of Dick Lutz and Midget Earl MacCracken drove over the first counter. State battled even during this drive and came back to stop three other U. of D. thrusts before tough breaks in the last quarter. falling before some Terlaak stopped the initial Detroit drive by intercepting a pass on the 2 yard line. Arm­ strong wind, against strong, kicking a dropped one out of bounds on the 24 yard line, State territory. Doug Nott, the main­ stay of the Detroit backfield, out-foxed the Spartans and brought the ball back to the 8 yard line. McCrary recovered a Detroit fumble inches short of the goal and Arm­ strong again kicked into a stiff breeze to the 9 yard line. McCracken slashed off his own right tackle to score, standing up. The game see-sawed from here on, mainly in State territory, with a game State team putting up an even fight against numerous bad breaks and plenty of good ball players. Brown opened up Detroit’s second scoring chance by fumbling on State’s 24 yard line. Lutz and McCracken took it over in four plays from here. State’s big drive of the afternoon followed this and then again Detroit was back in State territory with a series of whirlwind passes and some smart running by Lutz and Nott. One of' the bright features of this game to the fans was Kircher’s pass from behind his own goal line which netted 22 yards and a first down. However, the U. of D. team was back on State’s door-step as the fans got up for a weary trek back to East Lansing. SEASON’S HIGHLIGHTS Some very interesting facts about Michi­ gan State football came out of the statistic sheets compiled throughout the season for the State News by Tom Warner, sports staff statistician. According to his calculations, State outdid all opponents when it came to making first downs. The Spartans were cred­ ited with 66, while the opponents had but 59. State again led in the "yards gained from scrimmage column” where the Spartans piled up some 1,347 yards to the combined total of their enemies who picked up 1,264 through or over the Green and White gridders. How­ ever, when it came to total yards gained the opponents had the jump. They got 1,802 yards to State’s 1,796. The discrepancy was due to yardage by passes. Here the eight opposing teams used the overhead route to gather in 548 yards, while the Statemen trailed behind in using the air with only 499 yards. The opponents also completed more passes than the State eleven did. They connected times, while the Spartan combinations 41 worked 32 times. On the other hand, those teams which faced the locals tried more passes. They threw 95 and State tried 88. Spartan punting was a little below the cali­ ber displayed by opposing teams in this de­ partment. State averaged 36.1 yards in boot­ ing a total of 3,569 yards, while opponents averaged 39.4 yards in toeing a yardage of 3,771. In running back punts, State was also noticeably weak. As for fumbles, the locals ran about even with the visiting teams, jug­ gling the ball 21 times and recovering 22 loose pigskins, while opponents muffed 20 times and recovered only 19. One of the cleanest football games seen here in some years was played when the Kan­ sas State Wildcats met the local eleven in the home stadium this fall. Only six penal­ ties were assessed, all for setbacks of five yards each which may be attributed to anxiety. The first touchdown scored by a Spartan eleven against a Wolverine team since 1918 was made via the air in the second half of this year’s annual tilt with the U. of M. ag­ gregation. Muth’s heave to Warmbein in the second half produced the counter after a sus­ tained march of 86 yards led by a reserve backfield. formation. A spectacular if somewhat futile gesture was pulled by Bob Armstrong during the De­ troit game who successfully tossed a pass from behind his own goal after going back State into the orthodox punt awoke late in the game to the fact that a handicap of fourteen points was going to re­ sult in defeat and in the closing moments made a desperate attempt to score, the ball resting five yards short of the goal when the gun ended this belated drive. This incident was an example of the type of play which characterized Spartan play all this year, the local eleven generally waiting until the last half to come from behind to win. Individual honors must go to Art Buss, Capt. McNutt, Lay, Kircher, and McCrary. Of these letter winners, McCrary will be the only one returning next year. However, his excellent defensive work together with his ability to smash the line will give Bachman a tower of strength in the fullback position about which the 193 5 aggregation will be molded.

Early in the sea­ son, it was decided that no cap­ tain for the year would be elected until after the schedule was over. Patchett, lean forward star, has alternated during the games with Nick VanderRoest at right for­ ward and played an excellent brand of ball. BUYSSE LEADS CAGE SCORERS Maurice Buysse, Michigan State’s new center find, is far out in front in the race for individual scoring honors on the basketball squad. The ambidextrous pivot star has caged 17 points in two games, leading the Spartans last Saturday night to a one-point vic­ tory over the University of Mich­ igan. His closest rival is Dan Reck, is a another sophomore, who guard. Reck has scored nine points, also aiding materially in defeating the Wolverines.

With the fall term examinations pending, the Spartans will lay aside their uniforms to take up the books this week, but scheduled an exhibition match with the Battle Creek Kellogg’s quintet for last night in the Vocational field house in Lansing. The Kellogg outfit is at present leading the Central Michigan amateur league. MANAGER OF CAGE TEAM The next regular sched­ uled tilt will not come until rfter Christmas holidays, when Mississippi college comes here on Jan. 2. The 1-point victory over Michi­ gan marked the second successive year that a State five has con­ quered the Blues on the Ann Ar­ bor court and assures the Spar­ tans of at least an even break in ^heir home-and-home relations this year. Buysse Leads Scoring Maurice Buysse, lanky pivot man who hooks field goals with either hand, stepped into prom- 'nence during his first game of major college competition, scor­ ing 13 points.- He netted five qoals from the floor during the tilt and proved a constant an- loyance to the Maize and Blue ’efense. The game itself was a see-saw 'ffair with both teams grabbing he lead from time to time. Mich- gan stated the game, with five mints to State’s zero, but two baskets by Buysse and one by derrick sent the Spartans out in ’ront, 6 to 5. The quintets took urns at holding the lead, the Ipartans leading at the Meet Michigan Next On Saturday night, the State quad will get right into their business clothes, meeting the University of Michigan quintet n Ann Arbor. Western State teachers defeated Michigan in 'heir opener last Monday night. 14 to 11. However, the Wolver- 'nes are expected to be in fight­ ing trim for the State go. Mich­ igan has four regulars back in uniform this year. Petoskey, Plummer, Oliver and Regezci, and should be hard to beat. APPOINTED Larson Named Manager With Three Assistants Announcement was made this week of the appointments of the varsity basketball manager and his assistants. Ed Larson has been named manager for this year, assisted by Ed Kemp, Jack Erkfitz and Albert Stevenson. A call was also issued this week for freshmen and sopho­ mores who are interested in work- ng as basketball trainers. A number of vacancies for sopho­ more managers must be filled be­ fore the season gets under way. Those! interested should report to either Ed Larson or Ben Van­ Alstyne any afternoon from 4 to 3 except Wednesday. Larson, in explaining the sys­ tem used to appoint the men to the positions, said that three men !rom the sophomore class are chosen at the close of the year to act as assistant managers. From this group of three, the head coach, retiring manager, re­ tiring captain, trainer, and di­ rector of athletics choose the new manager. football, an athletic program purported to touch introduced by :; NOTRE DAME, 34 Without doubt, the most spectacular game ever seen, on this campus was played when State met the Notre Dame Ramblers in an attempt to break the latter’s string of 19 straight victories. The score was tied at least eleven times during the tilt. With the count at 13 all at the half, State broke loose to score five points before the visitors came back to push ahead 19 to 18 a little later. About this time Buysse was ejected on fouls after putting up a great individual exhibition of real basketball. While in the game he had outplayed and outscored the highly-touted "Moose” Krause, All-American center for 1933. His uncanny accuracy in hooking shots into the bucket from the side had much to do with giving State a slight advantage dur­ ing the fore part of the game, and in the meantime he had held his big opponent well in check. Soon after he was joined on the bench by Reck and Herrick, who had also had four fouls called against them, and three re­ serve men were necessarily sent in. This made the odds too great, and although the boys all played way over their heads, a gradual weak­ ening set in. Krause put the game on ice when he dropped two short shots in the third overtime period after State had piled up a three point advantage with less than a min­ ute to go. MICHIGAN STATE. 37; BUFFALO, 30 State again broke into the winning column by taking Buffalo College into tow while on the annual eastern trip. The Spartans were never extended except for a moment when the New Yorkers pulled up within two points during the second period. Buysse and Van- Fassen had a big night, the former dropping in three field goals and six points from the foul line, while the latter duplicated this per­ formance with the exception of three missed charity tosses. State led at the half, 17 to 14. MICHIGAN STATE, 21; SYRACUSE, 27 The Orangemen avenged a gridiron defeat from last fall by handing State her second set­ back to the tune of 27 to 21. State started off in fine shape, piling up a 10 to 2 lead, but after experimenting with a different style of play gathered only two more points while Syracuse garnered fifteen. Buysse was held well in check by Sanford of the opponents. Herrick shone for the Spartans by chalking up ten points for the Green and White. MICHIGAN STATE, 2 State dropped another hectic battle at Demonstration Hall to a determined Hilltop squad, which also felt it had a little football score to settle. Marquette brought a big fast squad to East Lansing which proved a little too tough for the Spartans to handle. Mor- stadt led the invader’s attack by contributing nine points to Marquette as his share of the evening’s work. Buysse matched this with 4; MARQUETTE, 26 nine of his own, and Reck was not far behind with seven. Marquette held the biggest lead of the game at the half with the count 18 to 11, but State came back strong after the rest period to knot the score at 18 all, and during the rest of the fray there was no appreciable difference between the two teams, Marquette being ahead by two points when the contest ended. MICHIGAN STATE, 34; MICHIGAN STATE NORMAL, 27 An overtime period was needed to down a fighting Huron quintet which had not been rated to give State too much trouble. A tight Ypsi defense together with a cautious offense with shots only being taken when the time was most opportune almost proved disastrous to the Spartans. Overconfidence on the part of the Green and White also contributed to the closeness of the score® In fact, the Hur- if ons might have gone home victorious Goode hadn’t been rushed into shooting when only 10 seconds remained. VanFassen took ad­ vantage of this break, however, to sink one with only a moment or so left. State broke loose in the overtime to score eight points while the Hurons were getting one. MICHIGAN STATE, 32 ; CENTRAL STATE, 17 Against Central State the Spartans scored their sixth victory of the year by defeating the Mt. Pleasant aggregation handily, using thirteen men against the visitors. State started slow as usual, but led 17 to 7 at half time. Central State was crippled by the loss of their star player, Hamilton, who left the game with a bad ankle. Herrick led the scoring for State. MICHIGAN STATE, *; WISCONSIN, 22 The Spartans took the road to defeat the University of Wisconsin by a one point mar­ gin. State gave the Badgers a lesson in foul shooting, dropping seven charity tosses out of seven attempted. Herrick led the scoring with ten points. VanDerRoest’s last minute basket produced the victory for State, while Rouse broke into the regular line-up for the first time to play an excellent brand of ball. MICHIGAN STATE , 36; LOYOLA, 15 The Green and White scored their most de­ cisive victory in smothering Loyola on the local floor. The visitors gained a three point lead to start off, but State registered 16 mark­ ers before Loyola could sink another shot to lead 16 to 3 at the half. State had little trouble controlling the ball through the en­ tire game. Buysse played stellar ball to roll up 12 points, while VanFassen came next with 8. MICHIGAN STATE, 33; MICHIGAN, 26 In the return encounter with Michigan, State scored its second triumph of the year over its Big Ten rival, the first time a Spar­ tan five has ever been able to accomplish this feat, notwithstanding the fact that Spartan cage teams have more than held their own with the Wolverines in recent years. The game was close throughout, proving to be somewhat of a surprise, as Michigan’s brand of basketball was not quite up to par this year. Although Bob Herrick was chased on fouls late in the game, State was still able to Page 101 go on a last minute scoring spree which left the invading quintet rather dazed. Buysse again led the scoring for State, field goals and foul shots to the number of 13 points being arched on their way from his hands. Van- Fassen accounted for 11 points and shone on defense. MICHIGAN STATE, The last home game of the year was won from the U. of D. Titans, after a hectic battle in which the Spartan guards figured promi­ nently. Herrick and Rouse displayed a fight- 27; DETROIT, 20 ing spirit which is seldom equalled on any floor. Buysse had one of his "hot” nights, and his sensational hook shots never worked better. MICHIGAN STATE, 28: DETROIT. 22 The second game of the double-header with Detroit went to State in a rough and tumble affair played on the Titan court. Although State won the game, U. of D. managed to outfoul the Spartans, 21 infractions of the rules being called against the home team of which State was able to convert only 8. Each side lost two men for excessive fouling. Er­ ratic shooting characterized the play of both teams, the winners sinking only 10 out of 54 attempted field goals. MICHIGAN STATE, State took the road for the last time dur­ ing the 1934 season to encounter Notre Dame, Marquette, and Loyola and thus round 19; NOTRE DAME, 28 out thé schedule. Another setback was re­ ceived at the hands of the Ramblers, who blanked the Spartans for the first seventeen Page 102 minutes of play and led 13 to 3 at the half. ''Big Bush” was again lost via the foul route, route, making this the second time in two starts that the towering center failed to stick the full time against Notre Dame. The South Bend five succeeded in throttling the State attack by never letting it get under way, continually opening up their defense to crowd the Spartans down on their own end of the floor. MICHIGAN STATE, 16; MARQUETTE, 40 Michgan State’s second successive defeat on their tour of the mid-west was delivered by Marquette. Like Notre Dame, the Hilltoppers had previously' beaten State at East Lansing earlier in the year by a margin of two points, but this time the Wisconsin saw fit to admin- ister a 40 to 16 drubbing, the worst defeat handed the Green and White during the 1934 season. The weary Spartans couldn’t cope with the whirlwind attack launched by the Hilltop­ pers and were snowed under by shots that pep­ pered the basket from all angles. MICHIGAN STATE, 22; LOYOLA, 20 The State cagers closed the year by success­ fully invading the Loyola court and barely squeezed out a win, 22 to 20- It was a nip and tuck affair through the entire game, with neither side piling up a comfortable lead for any length of time. The effects of a week filled with basketball told upon the Spartans who had not long before swamped the Chicago five, 36 to 15, at Demonstration Hall. A sensational one- handed shot by the State center won the game in its closing moments as well as topping off the season’s scoring for the Spartans. MM STANLEY WEITZ Tennis FLOYD MORSE Baseball By eating, sleeping and living tennis, Stan Weitz, Michigan State Intercollegiate net champ, has: at­ tained a ranking of twelfth among the midwest court stars. It is a common sight on the local cam­ pus to see Stan striding from one class to another unconsciously doing a bit of home work on a fore­ hand drivé. Weitz is continually experimenting with new strokedland flips his arms about in wild gestures as he walks, along the street with or without his tennis racket. But his court record would indi­ cate that that was the best way to practice. Floyd (River) Morse, one of the Mississippi River boys, holds forth behind the plate on the Varsity nine. Not being able to attract the batters’ atten­ tion due to his position, he attempts nevertheless to divert their gaze from the hurtling spheroid by ut­ tering loud "Wahoos.” Ordinarily quiet and little inclined to vocal outbursts, on the diamond he be­ comes a cheering moral support for the Spartan Nine. Morse also holds a prominent place in other campus activities, being a member of Excalibur, campus senior men’s honorary. His nickname River comes from the fact that legend has it that at a tender age he was carried away, home and all, by the Old Man River of the South. Page 104 SPARTAN NINE MEETS ANCIENT FOES AT ANN ARBOR SATURDAY; PEMBERTON PROBABLE PITCHER STATE NINE RALLIES IN EIGHTH TO DEFEAT FAST NOTRE DAME CLUB; FACE OHIO U. ON FRIDAY Kobsmen Rule Slight Favorites to Take Michigan in Their First Tilt of a Two-Game Series; Patchin is Slated to Hurl for Wolverines. Coach John Kobs’ Michigan State baseball team, backed by four straight victories, three of which were over Big Ten nines, will journey to Ann Arbor Saturday morning to meet their traditional diamond rivals, the Michigan team. The game is to be played in the afternoon on Ferry field. In Tenth Inning, 5-4 Wildcats Beaten Here The game will renew the ancient feud between the Wol­ verines and Spartans for baseball supremacy. A fairly good sized crowd of State fans is expected to follow the team to the university city. Lefty Pemberton, who has attained fine form in his pre­ vious games in blanking Iowa and effectively bottling up the Northwestern batting attack, will probably be the mound choice for the Spar­ tans. If he isn’t chosen, Jerry McCaslin should take over the hurling task. Either Patchin or Wistert will start for the Wol­ verines, with the first favored. State is Favorite is slim right­ hander for State, kept the Wild­ cats in the palm of his hand for eight innings, but suddenly be­ came the victim of a determined Northwestern rally in the visi­ tors’ ninth. Five hits tied the score at 3-all and sent the game into extra innings. In a sizzling ten-inning battle here last Saturday, Coach John Kobs’ Michigan State nine turned back a belated batting barrage by Northwestern to win, 5 to 4. Jerry McCaslin, The State nine favored slightly to defeat the Michigand­ ers by virtue of their fine season so far, while Michigan has failed to round into shape as soon as Coach Ray Fisher wished, drop­ ping their first Big Ten tilt to Illinois. A1 Kircher, who has been hit­ ting the ball at a .513 clip, is expected to lead the State assault against the Michigan pitchers. Rivers Morse and Abe Eliowitz, two other Spartan batsmen who rank high in the averages, are also expected to furnish fireworks for the Big Ten team. In the outfield, Kobs will pro­ bably have Kircher, Gafner, and Fawcett, this year’s captain. Red Norton is a possibility to play in centerfield in Gainer’s place. Infield Play Is Better Around the infield, the State mentor will probably have Abe Eliowitz at first base, Bill Mc­ Cann at second, Kelly Langer at short, and Arthur Rouse at third. The ragged play around second base and shortstop which resulted in the benching of McCann and Langer last week has been im­ proved, and the two looked very good in the Northwestern game last Saturday when they clicked through the first double killing of the season. Eddie Fiedler, who has worked as handy man around the squad as pitcher and third baseman, may get a chance at the shortstop job this Saturday, fol­ lowing his steady showing in the Hillsdale game. Behind the bat the Spartans will probably have Morse, a vet­ eran of last year’s team who is well acquainted with the likes and dislikes of some of the Wolverine batters. Ed Klewicki, who work­ ed behind the plate early in the season and is still leading the Northwestern came back strong in their half of the tenth to get one run, but the Kobsmen also put on a rally to take the game out of the fire. Eliowitz doubled to start the tenth frame victory rally. McCann walked. Gafner bounced to the pitcher but the Kobsmen were safe all around when the force out throw was wide of the bag. Johnson hit Fiedler with a pitched ball to force in the tying run. None was out when Arnquist booted Morse’s roller to short, letting in the winning tally. McCaslin was relieved in the tenth by Ken Little, sophomore rookie, who got the credit for the victory. McCaslin the Wildcat batters to two slim hits through eight innings and struck out 13 batsmen through his nine innings on the mound. limited Sloppy play around the key­ stone sack marred State’s victory. Kelly Langer committed three bad errors, while McCann made one. The second baseman re­ deemed himself, however, with a beautiful home run in the eighth. Nevertheless, their hesitant play in covering the bag ruined sev­ eral chances for putouts. Big “Steamshovel” Klewicki turned in a perfect day at bat with four hits in four times up. A1 Kircher, left fielder, kept up his batting orgy with two hits out of four. One of these was good for two bases. Pemberton Hurls State To Shutout Over Iowa Lefty Pemberton bore down hard on the traveling Iowa nine here last Thursday in the sea­ son’s opener to score a shining Pemberton Holds Irish Hitters to Five Scattered Hits in Fast Game; Spartans Trail 2 to 1 Until McCann Scores Tying Run in Sixth; Group Three Hits For Two Runs in Eighth. By DOUG GRAHAM After a shaky start in the first inning, Coach John Nobs’ fast Michigan State nine staged a comeback yester­ day afternoon on Old College field to annex their sixth straight victory of the season, defeating Notre Dame, 5 to 3. BATTER UP! Lefty Pemberton held the Ramblers to five hits over the route, turning in a good performance in the pinches. Notre Dame led off with a concerted attack on the Spartans, coring two runs off two hits and an error in the first in­ ning. State trailed 2 to 1 un­ til the sixth inning when they tied the score and then went on in the seventh and eighth to run up five runs. Bill McCann, second baseman, and Pemberton led the Spartan batting attack on Leonard, Irish hurler. McCann got two hits in three times up, while Pemberton batted out two singles in four times up. Known as Michigan State’s “sultan of swat”, big Abe Elio­ witz, veteran first baseman, has established a sensational record for home runs and triples. When­ ever Abe steps up to the plate the odds are heavily in his favor that things will happen. The customers expect they it—and get it. Abe aims to please. Probably his most Diamond Personalities Abe Eliowitz Notre Dame’s lead-off man, Cunha, started the game with a hard single. McGrath was set down, but White bounced one to Pemberton who tried to get Cunha going to third and threw over Rouse’s head, letting Cunha continue to the plate with the first run. White went on to second on the error. Palmisani’s single scored White with the second Irish run. Pemberton then tightened and went up through the other two bat­ ters to face him in order. State came back in their half of the first with one run when Fawcett drew a pass and Elio­ witz pasted out a triple with two out. With a chance to bring in the big first baseman and knot the score, Rouse, rookie third baseman, struck out ending the inning. SPARTANS BEAT WOLVES, 5 TO 1 McCaslin Hurls Fine Ball, Scattering Only Six Hits Over Route. ANN ARBOR, MICH. — Good pitching by Gerald McCaslin, slim righthander for Coach John Kobs’ Michigan State baseball team, beat the University of Michigan nine here Saturday, 5 to 1, The Wolverines got just six widely scattered hits off the delivery of the Spartans McCaslin, while jgan hurlers famous homer was the one he produced in the Michigan game last year. That clout, coming in the ninth inning, tied up the score at 3-3 and the game was forced into ex­ tra innings. Darkness stopped the play in the sixteenth with the score still locked at 3-3.' Abe’s circuit drive had saved the dav for State. His career as a slugger began as soon as he made his first safe hit—a triple against Mississippi A. and M. two years ago. He socked out five more triples in the next three days and then eased down to about one a week for the rest of the season. Last year, besides leading the squad in home runs, he raised his batting average 30 points and ranked second in bases on balls. How Eliowitz almost fell into obscurity as far as baseball is concerned! was revealed the other day by none other than the big first sacker himself. It seems that while attending Western High (Detroit) his first love had always been football. However, in his senior year he tried his hand at baseball—with results that almost proved tragic. For three games he failed to get a single hit. The coach, con­ vinced that Abe was a fullback and not a first baseman, warped him, “I’m giving you one more chance. You’ll be dropped from the strike out if you again.” squad Came the crisis . . .

Faced with the stiff- est schedule devised for a Green and White nine, the Spartans compiled the enviable record of fourteen victories against seven reverses which includes the games played on the southern training trip. In preparation for this annual jaunt into Dixieland, Coach John Kobs called out his candidates shortly after the curtain was rung down on the basketball season. Although unable to take his squad out of doors at once, the Spartan mentor conducted daily drills in Demonstration Hall where a batting, cage was erected. The battery men were the first to be called out, followed in a few weeks by the rest of the squad. Despite the loss of Charley Griffin and Hahl, the heart of the Spartan pitching corps during the 1932 campaign, Coach Kobs developed another first class group of twirlers. At the start of the practice, Kobs had Berwyn "Lefty” Pemberton and Jerry "Boots” McCaslin, a right hander who saw service in the previous year. As the season developed, Pemberton continued to improve on his form of the year before and became the leading hurler. McCaslin turned in some fine games during the year using a terrific fast ball to good effect. Three promising sophomores, Kenneth Little, Eddie Fiedler, and Kelly Langer, rounded out the pitching staff. In subsequent games Fiedler appeared often at short while Langer filled the position when Fiedler was on the mound. McCann drives to center field. Charles Fawcett Captain 193 3 Baseball Squad At first base Kobs was well set with the vet­ eran Abe Eliowitz back for his third year as a regular. Abe batted and threw left handed and proved a dangerous man with a stick. Second base was manned by Bill McCann with Theron Fager occasionally getting a shot at the posi­ tion. Fiedler and Langer fought it out all season for the short field position with Art Rouse getting the call for third. Floyd "River” Morse held forth behind the home sack the greater part of the season although occasion­ ally he gave the position over to Ed Klewicki, football and baseball star of the Spartans. Kle­ wicki, because of his power swinging the wand, often appeared in the outfield. However, Captain Fawcett’s name led the list of outfield candidates and as the season rolled on he showed some real hitting power as well as fielding ability. Fawcett played the difficult right or "sun” field and scraped to­ gether an enviable record. Johnny Gafner cov­ ered the center field all year while Al Kircher, he of the poker face, slept in the left pasture. In the first game of the southern trip, which was made possible "by severe retrenchment,” the Spartans measured Elon College by a tally of 6 to 5. Although the score would not indi­ cate it, nevertheless great potential hitting strength was forseen at this time. On the fol­ lowing day the Kobs hickory wielders fell be­ fore an experienced Wake Forest nine to the count of 8 to 6, again exhibiting great hitting power but in this case the Wake Forest boys exhibited a strength just a little better. In two games with the highly touted North Carolina University team the local lads dragged away two victories. The first of these came through by a score of 6 to 5 and the second by a score of 5 to 3. In the second of the two games, Eddie Fiedler came through as a real hurler and com­ pletely subdued the University nine. The Kobsmen met with their second defeat of the spring training jaunt when they dropped the last game of the trip to a powerful Duke University team. During the trip south, Al Kircher and Abe Eliowitz led their team mates with the stick, the former hitting at a clip of .475 and the latter bringing home a .375. The work of the moundsmen, especially that of the sophomores, was encouraging to Mentor Kobs and portended a successful home season. With a flourish and a ruffle of drums and the attendant ceremonies of the home season open­ ing game, President Robert Shaw tossed the spheroid across the plate to Clark L. Brody, member of the State Board of Agriculture, and the Kobsmen royally opened the season by whitewashing the strong University of Iowa team by a count of 4 to 0. A total of eleven hits rattled off the bats of the Spartans while the southpaw Pemberton held the Hawkeyes to two scratch singles. Lefty was in rare form and the Iowans were completely baffled by his mixture of curves and fast balls. Kircher con­ tinued his heavy stick work, hammering out three hits out of four times at the plate. Morse and Pemberton each turned in a two out of three. The second game of the two game series was rained out. A sizzling ten inning battle with Northwest­ ern University came next on the list of vic­ tories. The offerings of Elmer Johnson, touted Purple twirler, proved but little puzzling to the local boys. With the Green and White in a rath­ er tight spot, Ken Little’s relief pitching pulled them through to a 5 to 4 victory. After drubbing the weak Hillsdale College nine to a count of 12 to 0, State journeyed away to Evanston for a return engagement with Northwestern and came back with another scalp hung on the winning belt. This second game was less exciting than the first and the victory was by a score of 7 to 3. In the following game with the University of Michigan nine Jerry McCaslin cleverly used a change of pace to bewilder the batsmen and bring home a 5 to 1 victory. The Spartan bat­ ters shelled Patchin, the Wolverine ace twirler, off the mound. Leading the bombardment for the Spartans were Art Rouse and Eddie Fiedler. State continued its winning ways by van­ quishing Notre Dame by a 5 to 3 count and then later was cheated out of a game with Ohio University by a two day rain. On May 13 th Western State Teachers College handed the Spartans their first defeat of the regular sched­ ule by taking a tight 1 to 0 contest. With a number of big league scouts in the stands to look him over, Marquard, the Hilltopper’s cagey lefthander, won over Lefty Pemberton in a bril­ liant pitching duel. Both hurlers pitched won­ derful ball but the Western State nine pushed across a long, lone run in the ninth which was enough to win the game for them. The Spartans slumped badly the next three games, after winning an easy one from Oberlin, 14 to 3. Travelling to Michigan State Normal the Spartans were beaten 5 to 0 and two days later they were taken into camp by the Ann Ar­ bor nine by 4 to 3. For the third straight loss the Indiana University swamped the local nine 10 to 3. Finding their batting eyes once again the State nine trounced the University of Chicago 9 to 2 which broke their losing streak and gave them their fifth victory over big ten teams. Continuing their hitting the Spartans scored their second victory of the season over Notre Dame, humbling the Ramblers 14 to 5 under a barrage of base hits of all lengths, shades and as­ sortments. The last two games of the season, on June 7 and 10, brought both Western State and Michi­ gan Normal to Old College field for return en­ gagements. Western State came first and short­ ly drove away with another victory over Coach John Kob’s nine. Once again the left handed hurling of Marquard was too much for the Spartans and the Western nine pulled down an 8 to 5 victory. Marquard was not quite as ef­ fective in this game as he was in the one played in Kalamazoo but nevertheless he kept his hits well scattered and tightened up in the pinches. In the final game of the season the Spartans wound up a tough schedule by avenging an early season defeat at the hands of Michigan Normal by taking them 8 to 3. The great batting strength of the Spartan diamond men was one of the highlights of the season. Al Kircher, River Morse and Abe Elio- witz were the most dangerous batsmen. Kirch­ er finished up with an average of .421, Morse with .386 and Eliowitz with .371. The defens­ ive work of Captain Charles Fawcett, right fielder, along with his timely hitting also stood out in the season’s record. The pitching of Pemberton, of course, was the real highlight of the season. Continuing the brilliant work of a long line of Spartan left­ handers Pemberton turned in some fine games and was especially good in the pinches. It will be one of Kobs’ major tasks to find a lefthander to replace him. 1934 BASEBALL SCHEDULE SPRING TRAINING TRIP March 24 March 26 Ohio University March 27 .......................................................Duke ............Davidson March 28 .....................................................Elon April 14....................................Hillsdale College May 19 ...............................................Ohio State OFFICIAL SCHEDULE April 21 .......................Michigan State Normal May 22 ........................Michigan State Normal April 24.....................Northwestern University May 25 ..................................Indiana University May 1 ........................University of Michigan May 30 .........................University of Michigan May 5 ........................Western State Teachers June 2 .....................University of Notre Dame May 9 ........................Notre Dame University June 5 ......................................Hillsdale College May 12 .........................Western State Teachers June 8 .................................University of Iowa May 18.................................................Ohio State June 9 .................................University of Iowa Page 110 Harriers Go To National Meet Tom Ottey One of Favorites to Cop National Crown at New York Fresh from victory in the Mich­ igan State Intercollegiate, the [Spartan harriers will leave for ! New York and the National I. C. 4 A. Saturday with the strongest ! team in three years and good chances of bringing home the ! trophies. Coach Brown is taking Ottey, Pongrace, Bechtold, Ham­ mer, Hertzler, and Gardner to the meet, which will be the 25th an­ nual National Intercollegiate held ; at VanCourtlandt park, at a dis­ tance of six miles. Ottey Strong State finished fourth in the. [meet last year out of a field of 15 schools and hopes to improve its position this year. Captain Ottey took third last year in the individual scoring and both men who beat him have graduated. Bonthron of Princeton, who was [expected to give him real com­ petition, will probably be out due to a collapse at the end of a meet two weeks ago. Russell of Man­ hattan, last year’s champs, has run the course in 30:26 this year without being pressed and may be much faster than this time in­ dicates. The record for the course is 28:58.8, set by Barker last year. Ottey’s best time for the course is 29:33 but he seems to be quite a bit faster tins year than last. Two hundred entries have been received for the race so there will be quite a jam at the start. State men used to a smooth course will probably find the hilly going pret­ ty rough, but th°v have been working out over the worst hills available for the last three weeks getting ready for this meet. The men who finished in the [3rd, 4th and 5th positions on the State team last year have grad­ uated but Pongrace has speeded I un and two sophomores have been showing fine form this year and will be right in there. Eddie Bechtold is handicapped with a tendon which [slightly pulled [should be all right by the time of the race and he should be helm­ ed bv the fact that he will be [running over a course with which he is familiar. Hertzler has been [running better races as the sea- |son has come along and will nro- bablv be right up with the first [bunch of State men. Pongrace is having less trouble with his shin [splints which bothered him last [year and the first part of this season and looks better than ever. [Hammer, the second State man to [finish in the race last year, is quite a bit faster and should be tin the first ten. j State’s first team running in ptichigan State Intercollegiate for [the first time in years, took it in [the nature of a try-out for this [trip to the Nationals and won by [the most decisive margin in some in a driving snow [time. Run fetorm with a high wind and very low temperature, the team led by pttey took first, second, third, gifth, sixth and eighth. The order Six New Gymnasium Records Pass by Books in Dual Meet at Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Ottey and Jackson Share Scoring Honors for State; Metcalf Leads Hilltoppers. Surprised by the unexpected strength of the Marquette trackmen, Michigan State was swamped, 72 to 37, in an indoor dual meet last Friday night by the University of Marquette thinclads in the Hilltop gymnasium. Six old gymnasium records went by the boards under the assault. The new marks came in the 440, 880, two mile, shot-put and both relays. Ralph Metcalf, great negro sprinter, was high point man Track Candidates Work Out Daily for the meet, winning both ' the 40 and 220 yard dashes, and running as anchor man on the relay team for Mar­ quette. Tom Ottey, who was the victor in the mile and runs, and Alva two-mile Jackson, who was a place- winner in four events, divided the scoring honors for the Spartans with ten points apiece. Pongrace Drops Behind A real surprise in the meet came when Captain Otto Pon­ grace of State dropped back to fourth in the 880 by failing to time his finish properly after leading the pack for six laps. The unusual arrangement of the Hill­ top track, which is an odd-lap af­ fair, caused the visiting Spartans a great deal of trouble all during the meet and was a hard one to judge for the State runpers. Marquette won the meet with their unexpected power in the middle distances and relays. They failed to place lower than second in every event with the exception of the mile run, where State grabbed first and second places with Ottey and Hammer. Aspirants Look to Handicap Meet to Show Wares. Fall track practice is now in progress, and a large number of varsity and freshmen trackmen are practicing daily at the sta­ dium, between four and six each afternoon, in preparation for the fall track interclass handicap meet, which will be held the first week in November. All field event men, hurdlers, sprinters, and quartermilers are practicing at the stadium u^der Coach Ralph Young, while the distance men are working out un­ der Lauren Brown, cross-country coach. Although it is quite early to make any predictions, it looks as though the fall track meet should be a very interesting affair, which should produce several outstand­ ing perform- Return of Captain Tom Ottey Will Be Boon to Fall Sea­ son’s Chances; Otto Pongrace, Hammer, Hurd, Bech­ told and Small Will Round Out the Squad as Seen Now. By ROBERT GARDNER Facing one of the hardest schedules ever mapped out for a Michigan State cross-country team, Coach Lauren Brown, varsity and freshman coach, must find a way to fill the. gaps caused by the graduation of his stellar per­ formers of last season, Wissner, Fullerton and Elliott. Brown will have at his disposal the services of many track stars, including those of Cap­ tain Thomas Ottey, to fit in­ to the positions, so prospects for the fall harrier season are not entirely dimmed. The first meet on the schedule will be the All College run on October 7, after which the Spar­ tan team will be kept filling dates on every Saturday. October 28, the date for the Syracuse football game is the first home meet University of Michigan. They Take on Butler State Harriers Butler Will Be Hardest October 14 brings one of the hardest meets, that against But­ ler university at Indianapolis. Butler will be running on its own tricky course to add to its advan­ tages, while advance dope indi­ cates that the Butlermen will have another characteristically strong outfit this fall. On the following week-end the State team will journey to Mil­ waukee where they will have to test their strength over some­ thing new in the way of cross­ country courses in that part of the route will be over pavement, Tom Ottey Returns to Fold After Year’s Absence; Butler Strong. Prospects of victory over But­ ler are bright for this week-end. Coach Brown has the team in fine shape and has had to have three time trials to make up his mind as to which men he will use in the meet. Ottey will hold down the first position as usual. Pongrace and Hammer, and Bechtold are sure of the next three places on the team. Tuesday night tests pick- is and Hurd for Harrier Coach Develops ’Em Brown, Former Ace Runner, Turns Out Nationally Famous Teams Lauren P. Brown, former Spar­ tan distance ace and present coach of the nationally famous cross country squad, has piled up an impressive record at State since he began coaching here in 1931. Brownie himself was. a stellar cross-country man and one of the best two miler’s in inter­ collegiate track during his stu­ dent days at State. His time of 9:37.5 for the two mile event gave him fourth place in the national ranking in 1928. He himself ran fourth in the National I. C. A. A. A. A. cross-country run in ’31, being one place behind Clark Chamberlain his own team-mate and rival for national honors. In the fall of 1931 Brownie took over the cross-country squad and stepped out to win two duals from Butler and University of loss, by one Michigan with a point, to Notre Dame. This same year Chamberlain took second in the National I. C. A. A. A. A. run in New York and then came back two weeks later to win the Na­ tional Senior A. A. U. run at Ypsilanti. Intercollegiate In 1932 Brown’s harriers plac­ ed fourth in team standing in the National cross­ country run in New York, with third Tom Ottey place. State swept the schedule in dual meets this year, winning from Butler University of Mich­ igan, Notre Dame. finishing in Ralph H. Young, director of athletics, gives all credit for the winning of the national cham­ pionship this year to Brown’s ability. According to Young, Brownie worked his squad with just enough finesse to have them at their peak for the run in Van Cortlandt park last week. The records testify to the general all- around condition of the squad. All runners under 25 place in a field of about 125. The five-man team within the first 20, and three men in the first 10. Brownie, al­ though young in years as a coach, has turned out a record which the vast majority of coaches in the country would be proud to point to as their own. Spartans Defeat Butler Harriers Sears of Butler Wins, Fol­ lowed by Bechtold and Ottey The Spartan harriers defeated Butler university 20 to 35 in the first meet of the season for the State men. Captain Sears of the Butler team was first, followed by Eddie Bechtold, Capt. Ottey, John Hammer, Otto Pongrace, Chuck Dennis, and Walt Hertzler, in that order. Except for the first nlace the Snartans blanked VARSITY CROSS COUNTRY Coach Brown’s harriers, now National Champions, opened the season with only fair prospects for their current season. Tom Ottey, Otto Pongrace, Ralph Small and Bob Gardner were the only veterans reporting. Wess Hurd, Johnny Hammer, Eddie Bechtold, Bill Hertz- ler, Dixon and Crosbie checked in early in the season and Brownie went on from this group to build up a National Champion Cross Country Team. Next week’s contest with Marquette was cancelled and the All College run held in its place. Ottey, Pongrace and Bechtold annexed the first three places in that order. Nelson Gardner, sensational freshman runner, stepped off 21:20 for the CC course and a new freshman record to pin down fourth place. Hammer, Hertzler, R. Gardner and Dennis finished next in that order, followed by Berry and Holton, two more frosh distance men. The first dual meet of the season came against Butler, there. Sears, Butler’s outstanding dis­ tance star, annexed first place in the run but al­ most the entire state team finished before an­ other Butler man reached the tape. Eddie Bech­ told, a new sophomore to the harrier ranks, slipped into second, one notch ahead of Tom Ottey. Ottey was followed by Johnny Ham­ mer, then Pongrace, Dennis and Hertzler. The score of the meet was State 20, Butler 3 5. On October 28 the Spartan team, rounding into championship form, handed Michigan a shellacking and slipped in an almost perfect count, taking the meet 17 to 40. Ottey, Bech­ told, Hammer and Pongrace followed each oth­ er across the finish before Smith, of U. of M., managed to score points for the Wolverines. Pongrace’s battle with Smith over the entire home stretch was the real high-light of the meet. Brown, Coach; Gardner, Dennis, Small, Heppinstall, Macauley, Mgr. Bechtold, Pongrace, Capt. Ottey, Hertzler, Hammer. The following week State’s harriers, now be­ ginning to attract national attention for their running, handed Notre Dame the freeze-out, taking the first four places and 9th for a five- man total of 19 to Notre Dame’s 37. In the Michigan State Intercollegiate the fol­ lowing Saturday State stepped in against three strong harrier teams and annexed another first. The team scores for the meet were Michigan State 17, Michigan Normal 54, Western State 57, and Detroit Tech 105. Ottey, Bechtold and Hammer took the first three places with Pongrace and Hertzler taking 5 th and 6th. With an unbroken string of victories be­ hind them the Spartan runners left for Van Courtland park in New York City for a crack at the I.C. A.A.A.A. cross country meet for the National Championship. Led by Captain Tom Ottey, who put up a stirring fight with Mangin, stellar runner from the East, to take first, the State team went on to capture the gold track shoes. Pongrace finished second for State in 9 th place, followed closely by Eddie Bechtold in 14th, Johnny Hammer 18th, and Hertzler 20th. Bob Gardner, running in sixth place for State, although not officially counting in the team score, captured 3 5 th against the strongest field of runners assembled for this contest. State scored with a 54, followed by Manhattan with 84, Yale with 100, Cornell 113, Syracuse 118, and Maine 177. Rhode Island, Harvard, Pittsburgh and Penn State also ran—up in the 200’s. Back once more in familiar surroundings the now justly famous harriers took first honors at the State A.A.U. meet with 20 points. Normal was second with a team score of 46. Tom Ottey again took first place, nearly equaling his for­ mer mark although running on a slow, muddy course. Nelson Gardner, the new freshman find of Brownie’s, came through with second place, close behind Ottey. Otto Pongrace finished 4th, with Johnny Hammer 5 th, Hertzler 7th, and Bechtold 9 th, to count for team score. Other State runners finishing were Small 13 th, Gard­ ner, Bob, 14th, and Dennis 23 rd. The final meet of the season for the Spartan runners was the ClC or Central Inter-Collegi- ates. Sears, who led the Spartans in their meet with Butler again captured first place although Butler had no team officially entered. The Spar­ tans wound up the meet and the season with a grand slam for positions after this with Ottey, Pongrace, Hammer, Hertzler, and Bechtold coming down the stretch in that order. The score of the other teams entered in the meet were: Michigan State Normal 67, Notre Dame 74, Western State 90, and Ball Teachers 100. Gold track shoes, for the national champion­ ship, and major letters were awarded to Captain Tom Ottey, Otto Pongrace, Eddie Bechtold, Johnny Hammer and Bill Hertzler on the team and their hard-working manager Bill Macauley. Bob Gardner, Small and Dennis were awarded minor letters. Page 113 VARSITY TRACK A large group of individual performers, ne­ cessitating the awarding of thirty letters and five service awards, combined to give State a better than average record for both winter and spring track in 1933. Led by Captain E. G. (Ted) Bath in the hur­ dles, the Spartan thinclads participated in some of the leading meets throughout the country, scoring heavily in some of them. The indoor season opened February 11th with the West Virginia Relays at Morgantown, West Virginia. Clifford Liberty took a fourth in the 70-yard high hurdles after losing in the final heat in the low hurdles over the same dis­ tance. In the high jump Kleinheksel and Smith tied for third at five feet ten inches, while Hurd took a second in the mile run. In the distance events the mile relay took second, the 880 re­ lay team took a second, and the medley relay four took a third. In the first dual meet, that with Ohio Wes­ leyan University, State ran away with a 83% to 2 5 % victory. State took all but two firsts. Findlay of Wesleyan won the 220 yard dash in a last lap drive against Keast, while the Ohio 880 yard relay team took a slow race from the Spartans. On March 3rd Marquette University sent its track team to East Lansing for a dual meet with the Spartans. The feature of the meet was the appearance of Ralph Metcalfe, famous negro speed merchant, in the dashes. Metcalfe took the 40 yard dash and the 220 yard dash in excel­ lent time. State finally won the meet 61 3/5 to 47 2/5. The Spartan sprinters had another crack at Metcalfe and his pals when both State and Mar­ quette entered teams in the Seventh Annual Central Intercollegiate Indoor meet at Notre Dame. In the 60 yard dash Metcalfe cracked off a first without a State man being in the run­ ning. But in the 440 Keast of State won a thrill­ ing second after fighting Mullins of Western State all of the way. Mullins won the event. In the distance events Pongrace took a third in the 880, Hurd a second in the mile, and Ottey a sec­ ond in the two mile. Captain Bath took first in the 60 yard high hurdles with Liberty a close second. Liberty placed third in the 60 yard low hurdles. In the pole vault Holcomb of State took second after McKinley and Lowry of Ypsi had tied for first. Page 114 In the final scores of the meet State took sec­ ond with 28 1/3 points with Michigan Normal College winning the affair with 31 /z points. The medley relay team, composed of Keast, Warren, Pongrace and Hurd, won their event in the First Annual Butler University Indoor Relays, held March 2 5 in Indianapolis, while State took fourth in the four mile relay, and a fifth in the one mile relay. Captain Bath won his preliminary heat in the 70 yard high hurdles and also his semi-final heat but took third in the finals at the Fifth Annual Armour Tech Indoor Relay held at the field house of the University of Chicago in Chicago. The only first won by State was in the two mile relay where Keast, Hovey, Warren and Pon­ grace were clocked in 7:53.2. In the one mile relay the same team took a fifth with Pittsburgh winning. Continuing their travels the Spartans sent en­ tries to the Thirty-ninth University of Penn­ sylvania Relays at Philadelphia. Bath took a third in the 120 yard high hurdles. The Spartans also placed in the relays; they took a fifth in the distance medley relay, third in the 480 yard shuttle relay, fourth in the two mile relay and fourth in the mile relay. The first encounter out of doors during the spring track season was a dual meet with the University of Notre Dame at East Lansing. The Spartans handed the Ramblers a 67-64 defeat after one of the closest meets held here in recent years. Notre Dame made a clean sweep of the 100 and 220 yard dashes but Hoff and Keast of Michigan State tied for first in the 440 with Pongrace and Warren grabbing second and third in the 8 80 to partially even things up. Hurd won a second place in the mile and a first in the two mile grind, with Hammer winning third in the latter event. Bath and Liberty placed first and second in the 120 yard high hurdle and then reversed the order to take the 220 low hurdles. In the field events Holcomb won the pole vault and Jackson took a first in the broad jump and a second in the high jump. Notre Dame took all three places in the shot put but Buss took a first and Adler a third in the discus. State’s mile relay team of Pongrace, Hoff, Warren, and Keast won the mile relay in 3:26.5. Continuing the outdoor season Coach Young took several team members to the classic of eastern track meets, the Fifty-seventh Annual L.C.A.A.A.A. meet, at Harvard Stadium, Cam­ bridge, Massachusetts. Liberty was eliminated in the 110 meter low Page Ili hurdles in his preliminary heat. Bath took a third in his heat and qualified in the semi-final for the finals. In the finals he took third. The race was won by Lyon of Southern California. Warren took sixth in his heat in the 800 meter run. Pongrace won his heat in 1:55.6 and third in the finals, which was won by Bonthron of Princeton. Liberty qualified in the preliminary heat of the 200 meter low hurdle race. He was elimi­ nated in the semi-finals. Hurd took sixth in the 1,500 meter run, another event which was won by the celebrated Bonthron. Beaumont failed to place in the javelin. State took third in a field of twenty schools at the Eighth Annual Central Intercollegiate Meet at Milwaukee, Wisconsin, the first week in June. Once again the Spartans ran into Met­ calfe, Marquette speed boy, and were forced to see both Marquette and Kansas State Teachers College finish ahead of them in the scoring. Kansas was first with 3 8 points, Marquette sec­ ond with 28, and State third with 20 points. Other heavy scorers were the University of Wisconsin squad with 18, and the Ramblers of Notre Dame University with 17 points. State’s first points came from a fourth by Hoff in the 440 yard dash, a third by Hammer in the two mile run, a third by Liberty in the 120 yard high hurdles, a first by Liberty in the 220 yard low hurdles, and a third by Holcomb in the pole vault, a second by Beaumont in the javelin, a third in the 880 yard relay, and a third in the mile relay. The blue ribbon event of the American col­ legiate track world, the National Collegiate Track Meet, held at Soldiers Field, Chicago, also drew a handful of entrants from Michigan State. Bath ran in the 120 yard high hurdles but was eliminated as was Liberty in the 220 yard low hurdles. Pongrace was eliminated in the prelim­ inaries of both the 8 80 yard run and the mile run. Holcomb was the only point winner for State. He tied for fourth place in the pole vault. Beaumont failed to place in the javelin.

Their score of 380 was almost 50 points higher than the total made by Purdue university which placed second. The tour­ nament was sponsored by the National Associated Unions of which the M. S. C. Union is a member. Jake Scherer played a re­ markably fine game and led the Spartan team with a total of 101.

No definite schedule has been announced yet, but home and home meets with Michigan and Notre Dame are coming up this year.

E. Pinkston Gives Speech; Tom Morris Chosen Captain The Spartan tankmen formally closed their season last Tuesday, March 6, with a banquet held at Hunt’s Food Shop. C. E. Pinks­ ton, coach at the Detroit Athletic club, was the principal speaker. Mr. Henry of the Math depart­ ment, Mr. Prophet, Coach Young and Coach Daubert also spoke to the team. freshman The highlight of the program was the election of the varsity and team captains. Tom Morris, of Lansing, was chosen varsity captain. Morris was an outstanding swimmer in the back stroke events, and well deserves the honor. The honor­ ary co-captains of the freshman teams are Botting and Harry- man, both of whom are prospec­ tive varsity free-stylers. The record of this year’s team can stack up with any previous records although the boys did VARSITY GOLF TEAM The chasers of the pellet trotted over the course twice to come back defeated in the opening part of the season. The first defeat came at the hands of the University of Michigan while the second came from the University of Notre Dame. Whereupon Coach Ben VanAlstyne’s trusty men settled down and finished the season with a record of five wins, four losses and one tie. Round­ ing the course in good shape and inserting ball in hole at the proper time accounted for the twin victories over the Michigan State Normal College and Grand Rapids Junior College. In a double meeting with the University of Detroit the State clubbers came out even with one up. Captain Russell Turrill led the latter half of the season with a total of 23 points. Bob Mueller ran him a close second with a total of 22 points. Bob Clark followed with a score of 18 while Bill Mitchell, the S. A. E. whiz, trailed with 121/2 points. Of the other golfers on the Spartan squad, Bob Herrick was the only one to score. Tying the University of Detroit with a score of 9-9 the same squad came back later to defeat the barnyard poloists to the tune of 13 l/i to 4 ^2 which would indicate a last minute rush for games. The campus appears to be conducive to the sport as indicated by the number of times the State golfers tee off from one class and drive to the next over the winding walks and hills and valleys and through the Forest of Arden. With a nucleus made up of Mueller and Mitchell, VanAlstyne will build another successful golf team for 1934. Mitchell, Clark, VanAlstyne, Turrill, Herrick. Page 118 VARSITY TENNIS TEAM Victories over the University of Michigan, Ohio State University, and Western State Teach­ er’s College, together with a successful conquest of both the singles and doubles titles in the Michi­ gan State Intercollegiates, figured prominently in giving State thé most outstanding tennis record in her history. Led by a quartet of undefeated veterans, the net aggregation swept through the season with the loss of only one match which went to the U. of M., a blemish later partly erased by virtue of a win in a return meet, the first ever taken by a Spartan team in competition with the Wolverines. During the 1933 season, Captain Stan Weitz, Rex Norris, Don Link, and Dave Nordwall accounted for half the singles victories, ably supported by Marshall Goodwin, Bill Loose, Guy Stonebreaker, Merle Gee, and Don Sexton. Weitz and Norris turned in the outstanding perform­ ances of the year by conquering the pick of collegiate netters in the midwest in dual competition. Weitz wound up his victories by winning the Michigan State Closed Championships at Grand Rapids late in the summer of last year and gained twelfth position in the official midwest rankings, Norris close on his heels in thirteenth place. This serves to show the evenly matched abilities of the two Spartan racquet wielders. Other members of the squad gave indications of what may be expected of them this season by winning several tournaments. Don Sexton especially showed great improvement during the summer months, and although warming the bench most of the time early in the year, flashed so spectacular a brand of tennis after the close of school that he was able to capture the Illinois State Open crown at Olympia Fields, Chicago, serving warning to returning veterans of a possible change in the coming tennis line-up in 1934. Willard Klunzinger led the yearling tennis group and as Michigan’s leading representative made a respectable showing at the National Junior tournament at Culver, promising to be a valu­ able addition to the varsity during the next three years. Sawyer, Goodwin, Loose, Stonebreaker, Weitz, Norris, Link. VARSITY SWIMMING Of the sixteen awards announced for varsity swimming ten of them were to sophomores. Three major letters were awarded, all of them to sophomores; nine minor letters were passed out, six of which went to sophs, and one of the two service awards went to second year men. At the beginning of the year Coach Daubert had every hope for a brilliant season, but the fail­ ure of several of last years star frosh team to return to school took away many potential stars. Lane Jessop, free style star, and Dave Selden, a back stroker who was looked upon as being a future champ, were two of the chief hopes for the past season who failed to return. In the dual meets held State was able to win only one out of five. State defeated Illinois Wes­ leyan 57 to 18 in a sudden flash of power, but suffered four other rather bad defeats. They were handed a 60^4 to 23^2 setback by the University of Michigan, a 47-37 trimming by Loyola, a 51-33 lashing by Ohio State University, and in their final meet they lost to Iowa 67-17. In the Michigan meet Green and Kannowski took second and third in the 200 yard breast stroke, and Morris and Mollett did the same in the 150 yard back stroke. Ziegel took second in the 50 yard free style, and Jaeger a third in the 440 free style. Trapp collected another third in the 100 yard free style and Peckham a third in the diving. Switzer grabbed off another third in the 220 yard free style. Switzer, Morris, Trapp and Peckham all won firsts in their respective events, and then the 120 yard medley relay team finished off with another first. Thoas Morris, captain-elect, Donald Trapp, and Fred Ziegel were the most consistent point winners and were awarded major letters. Kannowski, Ziegel, Green, Pittwood, Tropp, Morris. Peckham, Switzer, Daubert, Jaeger, Blackmore. VARSITY WRESTLING Two wins out of six dual matches was the best that the 1934 edition of the Michigan State wrestling team was able to do. During the course of the winter campaign Coach Collins’ men faced six dual meets and participated in the National Intercollegiate tournament at Ann Arbor the last week in March. A pair of meets with the University of Michigan squad were features of the season. In the first meet held here the University team defeated the Spartans 16 *4 to 11P2 in a closely fought con­ test, and in the second encounter between the two> squads the Wolverines again proved too much for the Spartans, this time winning a 15-11 decision. Besides the home and home engagements with the Wolverines, two other Big Ten schools were met during the season. In the second meet of the schedule the Spartans were badly defeated by the Ohio State University team 22 to 8, but came back later on to hand the wrestling team of the Uni­ versity of Chicago a 17 }4 to 10 *4 trimming. The other two matches of the season were also split in the matter of wins and losses. Cornell handed the Spartans one of their four setbacks when they took a close 16-14 decision, while State managed to take Kent State College into camp rather easily, although the score ran to 18-14. Buck Reavely, grappling in the heavyweight class, was the heavy point scorer for the Spartans all year. Reavely chalked up 23 points on the credit side of the ledger with his opponents register­ ing only three. Next in line in number of points scored was Jacobs, wrestling at 145 pounds, who gathered 19 points. Genson, wrestling in the 118 pound class, had 16 $4 markers to his credit, and Captain Austin, 126 pounder, totaled 13 14 points for the season. The only other scorers were Knudsen in the 175 pound class with five points and Martin in the next class below Knudsen with three points. Collins, Conant, Knudson, Reavely, Martin, Gratrick. Austin, Genson, Stephenson, Gates, Jacob. FENCING In handing out an 11 to 6 defeat to the Notre Dame fencing team for the final game of the season, the Spartan have-at-thee men climaxed the most successful season since the sport was brought to the local greensward. Four men car­ ried the burden throughout the season winning more than fifty per cent of their bouts. In the first lunge and thrust of the season the State foilsmen took Wittenburg by 15 to 2. They fol­ lowed this decisive victory with one over Pur­ due by a count of 11 to 5. A bad slump caused the Green and White team to bow before the Ohio State men to the tune of 10 to 7. Later, however, Notre Dame took Ohio State royally which would indicate the possibility of a complete run of victories. However, another team from Ohio bowed be­ fore the Spartan fencers. In a session with the Ohio Northern, the local lads took a 15 to 2 vic­ tory. With two victories over Notre Dame, the last of which was 11 to 6, the Spartans closed the year with five wins and one loss. Captain Morris Glass and Ralph Bristol were easily the best men of the squad. In foil each man lost but one bout all year and that was in the first meet. Fencing with all three weapons, they won eighty-six per cent of their bouts this year. Harry Lutz with fencing foil, sabre and epee won two-thirds of his matches while Don Appling split just about even on bouts won and lost with the sabre. Both Glass and Bristol graduate in June, leav­ ing Coach Bauer with a veteran sabre team, one epee fencer, but no accomplished foil fencers for the next year. The indications are that the most important part of the team will depend on the yearling material from this year. However, the frosh material for this year is such that there appears to be no cause for the tearing of hair. Bauer, Glass, Lutz, Appling, Bristol, Gardner. Page 122 VARSITY POLO Interest has been increasing of late in the Polo team at Michigan State. Sponsored by the Cav­ alry unit of the R.O.T.C. it is composed entirely of Seniors and Juniors in that division. Each year brings a schedule which is a bit more pre­ tentious than the previous one. This year the team played the 119th Field Artillery team, Culver Military Academy, and Ohio State Uni­ versity. Late this current season the State team received an invitation to enter the National In­ tercollegiate polo matches; the regional matches in the middle west and possibly the finals. Captain Voorhes, cavalry instructor and coach of the polo team, is handicapped in select­ ing and building up a team due to the lack of time. Polo, unlike the usual sports program of the college, is not officially recognized by the athletic department and up to the present has been financed by the Officer’s Club of the R.O. T. C. and money taken in for games. The men themselves have not had sufficient riding train­ ing to start polo until they are juniors and consequently Captain Voorhes builds up a team only to see it graduated just as it is finding itself. Polo requires teamwork as much as if not more than any other sport. This year’s team on the whole gave a fine example of this qual­ ity. Led by Captain Dave Meinzinger, the first string, composed of Ralph Dickie and Jake Scherer, turned in some fine work. This, in face of the handicap of lack of sufficient prac­ tice. The riding hall is available for practice only during fall and spring terms. Conse­ quently the team here has specialized in indoor polo. Captain Dave Meinzinger, Cadet Lieutenant- Colonel of the Cavalry unit, was the outstand­ ing man of this year’s team, rapidly developing during the season into a great ball-hawk and an accurate sharp-shooter for goals. Ralph Dickie, Cadet Captain in the Corps, ran him a close second for hard riding and quick think­ ing on the field. Jake Scherer, Cadet First Lieu­ tenant, possessed one of the most deadly shoot­ ing arms on the squad. Other members of the squad included Jay Hanson and Marsh Pelle- grom, Seniors; and Joe Pelton, Don Freshour, Bob Webber, Bob Farley, Juniors. Scherer, Meinzinger, Dickie ■HI m iHf ' 'iliI ' .. 1 mm I ' i Ü ¡1 I H ■ TOM OTTEY Track The blond-haired harrier of the Spartan x-coun- try team has, in the past year taken his place as champion x-country runner of the intercollegiate world. Not only has he run in intercollegiate races but last fall he represented the United States in the Olympic Games held in California. During last summer he trained by pushing a rickshaw around the World’s Fair Grounds at Chicago. Smiling and likeable Tom has made a place for himself on the campus not only in athletic circles but in social and political circles as well. OTTO PONGRACE Track Otto Pongrace, captain of the Michigan State track team, ranks as one of the finest athletes of the cinder paths ever to be produced here. As a member of the mile relay team and a good medium distance runner Pongrace has been a leading figure in bring­ ing honors to the Spartan camp. Pongrace in many ways exemplifies the model Spartan athlete, being an excellent student and very active in campus social organizations. His favorite pastime is fre­ quent nose-pulling contests held with Tom Ottey, his running mate. Page 124 Chi Omegas Win Co-ed Swimming For Fourth Time Alpha Gams and S. W. L.

A variety of sports is offered every term with instruction for those who are unfamiliar with them.; In this way any co-ed, whether experienced as an athlete or not, may participate in the activities of the organization. Any girl with a ”C” academic average may take part in these sports, but the requirements of membership in the orgnization are 100 points earned in the sports offered, and 25 points earned each term. Sports are classified as major and individual. No girl is allowed to par­ ticipate in more than one major sport a term unless she has a "C” average. In any case no more than two major sports are permitted. Intramural sports tournaments are sponsored by W.A.A. every term and various other projects are carried out. Andros, Tobey, Behler, Huston, Kurtz, Doidge, Croshaw. Sutton, Moore, Parker, Killham, Werback, Pauli, McLaren. Page 126 W. A. A. The Women’s Athletic Association, popularly known about the campus as W. A. A., is the co-eds group sponsoring all women’s athletics. Any girl is eligible to participate in W. A. A. ath­ letics but does not become a member of the organization until she has earned 100 points of the Association’s awards and has maintained a "C” academic average. These points are awarded on the following basis: 100 for membership on a first team, or being an officer of the association, 50 for membership on a second team or holding a manager’s position, 2 5 for six practices or participation in any of the events offered such as the overnight canoe trip and cross-country hike. The year round sports program embraces: Majors—Hockey, Soccer, Track, Swimming, Ten­ nis, Fencing, Baseball, Bowling, Volley-ball, Basket-ball, Marksmanship, Archery, Dancing and Golf. Individual—Hiking, Canoeing, Roller and Ice Skating, and riding. In the past season’s archery tournament the Sophs took first, with the Frosh, Seniors and Juniors following in that order. This tournament was held last spring. A telegraphic meet with other Co-ed groups throughout the country gave State a score of 1,403 with 321 hits. The baseball schedule run-off last spring gave the Frosh first place with three wins and no losses; Sophs, Juniors and Seniors in a three-way tie for second with a one game win, and two lost record for each team. The Juniors took the spring track tournament with 50 points, followed by the Frosh with 19^2 points, Sophs with 2 points and the Seniors with only one marker to save them from a skunking. In the fall term sports competition the Frosh and Sophs tied for first in the Soccer tournament with three victories and no defeats while the Juniors and Seniors held down the cellar berth with no wins and three defeats. To the writer it looks like the Junior-Senior game must have been a double defeat, each losing to the other. In the Round Robin Field Hockey tournament results were a little easier to figure out. The Sophs won with a perfect score of. 1.00. The Seniors followed in second place with a .666 average, the Frosh next with a .333 average and the Juniors failed to ring up on the register with .0000. The same relative standing applied to the Bowling tournament with the Sophs in first, the Seniors in second, Frosh in third, and the Juniors holding the bag in the cellar m m ¡¡i§ ¿ÿÈËÈUÊMjmf, WÊÊÊÈÊ : ■ mm Page 127 position again. The girls also indulged in a lit­ tle Fencing and Hiking during fall term. Winter term was the season for keeping the girls out nights. The rifle teams in their com­ petition closed out the season with a final standing of Sophomores in first place, followed by the Juniors, then the Seniors and finally the Frosh, who were competing in a sport in which they had had less practice than the other teams. The Volley-ball tournament from a total of 7 games played by each team gave the Sophs first again with six wins, one defeat and no ties. The Juniors came in second with five wins, two de­ feats and no ties, something unusual for the Juniors. The Frosh finished strong with two wins, four defeats and one tie, while the Sen­ iors ended in the cellar this time with no wins, six defeats and one tie. Basketball was the outstanding sport of the winter season. The Basketball tournament em­ braced a total of nine games for each team. The Frosh took first with a .666 average, win­ ning six and dropping three. The Juniors crashed through and took second place, win­ ning five, losing three and tieing one. The Sen­ iors put up a good fight to take third with three wins, five defeats and one tie, while the Sophs took the bottom with two wins, five losses and two ties. In a special game played between the girls Honor team and a picked crew made up of members of the faculty and Alumni, the Honor team took the game with the lop-sided score of 40 to 22. The annual basketball competition with the University of Michigan was won by the State teams, winning three games and losing one. The Freshman team, playing at Ann Arbor won their game 34-26 while the Juniors, also play­ ing at Ann Arbor, dropped theirs 31-42. At home both teams were victorious, the Seniors winning 23-15 and the Sophs winning 27-2. In the swimming meet the class teams fin­ ished just in the order of their class, with the Freshmen winning first. An intramural con­ test between campus groups was won by the Chi Omegas, with the Alpha Gamma Deltas in second and Spartan Women’s League in third. Other contests were held throughout the year in Golf, Tennis, Hiking and Roller Skat­ ing. A basketball day was sponsored during winter term and girls on various high-school teams in this vicinity were guests of the W. A. A. A sportland tour was held in con­ junction with this. BOARDS AND | publication" STUDENT COUNCIL Early in the spring of 1933 the Student Council found before it the enormous task of cutting the student funds to bring them in line with the cuts made by the College. After the burning of many cigarettes and foul smelling cigars, and the wearing down of the council table by the feet of the energetic members, the Council succeeded in working out a schedule of reductions which was accepted by the adminis­ trative group. In the fall the Council sponsored the Soph- Frosh Class Rush, which has in recent years de­ generated from the battle royal it once was to the present program of "games” which have all the spirit and brutality of a Sunday school pic­ nic. But with the deterioration of this time- honored tradition comes the rise of a new one to take its place, namely, Spartan Day, which is yearly growing in popularity because it in­ volves a holiday and gives the students a chance to express their sporting enthusiasm by taking in a free show or kicking their feet about glee­ fully at a tea dance. Meanwhile the bruised and battered members of the football squad have the opportunity of listening to the lusty and lonely shouts of the cheer leaders and making short speeches to the band members and a handful of onlookers who happen to have fol­ lowed the band out of curiosity. Late in the fall term the Council sponsored the annual barbecue, a feast which entails the burying of the hatchet by the first and second year men. A large group of spectators turned out for this, egged on perhaps by the never- dying thrill of gazing at a huge bonfire and the prospects of consuming large quantities of bar­ becued sandwiches. During this term also, the Council sponsored the Freshman class elections, thus initiating the first year men into their first taste of college politics, and the group has, of course, played its usual role as guardian of the polls and counter of the votes in the other col­ lege elections. The Student Council did a very useful and highly commendable piece of work this year when it made possible the publishing of a stu­ dent directory. When the College failed to put out its usual directory,- the Council worked out a plan where, by selling advertising space in the book, the much needed compilation of names, addresses and (this year) phone numbers could be printed without loss. The Council also took the initiative in a new field of endeavor when it asked A.W.S. to ad­ vocate later hours for co-eds. After much ar­ gument and debate, later hours were tried out during the winter term and a test vote was taken in the all-college elections which appar­ ently resulted in an overwhelming majority in favor of the extra dating time. The question has yet to be decided definitely, and may evolve into a test case of the real power of student self-government. , STUDENT COUNCIL OFFICERS ...................................................................................Louis Asmus President Vice-President ...........................Milton Peasley Secretary-Treasurer ..........................................................Robert Armstrong .........................................

Page 131 ASSOCIATED WOMEN STUDENT COUNCIL Somewhat more subdued and less inclined towards legislative imitations is the council for the Associated Women Students, which is the official governing body for the co-eds on the campus. While the male of the species sits on ballot boxes and smokes and puffs and exhorts to exhume existing exigencies the female com­ placently sits far removed in the austere coun­ cil room and contemplates problems of delin­ quencies on the part of the lesser fry. For the question of hours and late hours and early hours has been a trying question this term. Beginning with the controversy aroused by the State News and carried on further by the Student Council, the A. W. S. council investi­ gated with the intent of allowing later hours to be tried by the women students of the campus. During the latter part of the winter term the hours were lengthened considerably and formal parties were allowed to continue later than be­ fore. One-thirty permission on Friday night, and twelve-thirty on Saturday night were two of the significant changes made by the council. The question of continuance of these hours was subjected to a vote in the election held dur­ ing the winter term. The results were not made public following the election as were all other results for the other issues and offices voted upon in this election. The co-eds were to go back to the old basis for the spring term al­ though the sentiment appeared to be very much in favor of the extended permission. The council is also working to create a recre­ ation room for women students in the Union building. This room when completed will be open to all co-eds and will be the first all-col­ lege recreation room as such for the co-eds. Dormitory presidents and heads of various groups have met with A.W.S. to work out ways and means of helping the college in many ways. Plans were submitted to aid the college in its publicity drive. On the campus proper plans were made to wake up the somewhat lagging and lethargic college spirit to what it once was. It is not as a court, as many are in the habit of thinking of A.W.S., that the council func­ tions best. In reality the council is organized to help unify the women students and by so doing to help them in their problems and by their unity aid the college. Page 132 A.W.S.

Duke Farley managed to edit a sheet which compared favorably with any in the past. The features and news articles as well as the columns of comment carried a journalistic touch and brought to light interesting bits of news as well as a touch of scandal occasionally. This year saw a large turnout from the yearlings for positions on the paper and though many came, few were chosen. The News gives the best chance to budding journalists of the various campus publications and works with the Press Club in furthering journalism on the State Campus.

Rogers Business Manager The prevailing financial embarrassment which seemed to pervade the local campus made it necessary to employ a number of unusual selling campaigns. This year the senior class purchased copies of the Wolverine and presented each member of the class with his own. Together with the subscription from the lower classes the staff was able to publish this volume entirely in black both in the art work and in the ledger. Under the capable management of Rogers, contracts and bids were received which made it possible not only to reduce the price of each copy but also the space charge for organizations. The book is edited entirely by students and the success or failure of each successive volume depends upon the editor and business manager. The editor and business manager are elected by a general vote each Winter Term for the next year.

This monthly paper is published by the students of the ag division in conjunction with the Department of Publica­ tions. An editor and a business manager are elected by the agricultural students in the win­ ter elections and the remainder of the staff is selected by these two officers. The paper is financed partly by advertising and partly by a system of fees. Each agricultural student pays fifty cents yearly as a subscription fee. The paper carries considerable news of inter­ est to ag students as well as to farmers to whom it is sent. The alumni news and the campus notes, interest outsiders in the activities of the college. Through the courtesy of the State News, the all-college newspaper, news items are carried in each issue not ordinarily covered by members of the staff of the Agriculturist. However, these days are no more. The pow­ ers that be have gathered together and with solemn rites decreed that the Agriculturist shall no more be published as such. Meeting before the Board of Publications during the winter term, Frank DuByne and Donald Barden, the editor and business man­ ager respectively, presented to the Board the facts which indicated that due to conditions of the advertising world the publication had and would run in debt for the next few years. After some discussion it was thought advisable to discontinue the publication and attempt in the future to publish a magazine as has been attempted with much success in other colleges and universities where coin of the realm is scarce. So henceforth the college will be repre­ sented in the agricultural world not by a news­ paper, which at best could only present news two weeks late and at the same time have dif­ ficulty in keeping financially sound, but by a magazine the details of which have not as yet been worked out but which will undoubtedly be a marked progress. The magazine will first appear in the fall of 1934 if present plans are completed.

Up to this time a chapter of the Pi Delta Epsilon had wandered about the campus at times blossoming forth with the lurid pages of the Excema. But due to a little misunderstanding the sheet was discontinued and after attempts to publish a blotter the honorary went the way of all defunct honoraries. The present press organization sponsors meetings at which prominent journalists speak and discuss present day newspapers and their policies. The majority of the club comes from the three campus publications and consequently the group acts as a unifying factor for all campus journalists. At the Spring Term banquet the new officers are elected and awards presented for outstanding work in journalistic fields. Moore, Lee, Deitz, Zeigler, Otto, Porter, Verhelst, Ellis, Newins, Rodney, A.

H. Nelson The high school news service, sponsored by the Press Club, was designed primarily to interest high school students throughout the State of Michigan in Michigan State College, by sending to the newspapers of the various high schools personal items about their alumni now attending Michi­ gan State. Although now only in its formative state it promises to become an important means of contact for the college, and at the same time give those students interested in journalism, not writ­ ing for any of the publications, a chance to try their hand at writing news. The office is located on the fourth floor of the Union building, next to the State News, but releases of news are made through the publication office in Ag Hall. L. Woodman, L. Montgomery, R.

Steward Glen Stewart The Michigan State Union building, under the direction of the Union Board, is the center of many and varied campus activities, ranging all the way from the comparatively simple process of sipping a coke to the complicated and nerve racking procedure of editing a weekly newspaper. In the building may be found a cafeteria, grill (smoking room), billiard room, lounges, ballroom, fac­ ulty club room, and beauty and barber shops. There is also an elevator but you can’t find that. The Union Board sponsors billiard and ping pong tournaments, Union parties and matinee dances, the Union One Act Play contests and a number of other activities on the campus. L. C. Plant, G. O.

Halligan Albert Bradley Mary Jean O’Brien The Student Lecture Course Board was formerly known as the Liberal Arts Board. The Board was unusually fortunate this year in being able to secure a number of nationally famous speakers including Edna St. Vincent Millay, Wiljmur Stefanson, Albert Wiggam, Stuart Chase, George Lee Smits and Frank Snyder. The Board consists of two Junior and two Senior representatives who are elected in the Junior year and remain on the board until graduation. Albert Bradley, Mary Thorpe, Jim Quello and Jean O’Brien presented a consistently good program this past year and the People’s Church was filled to capacity for most of the lecture numbers. Hi-lites of the year were the lectures by Wiljmur Stefanson and Stuart Chase, the first a noted explorer and the second a brilliant economist. Admission for the lectures is charged on student voted fees which are paid at registration. J. Quello, M. J. O’Brien, A. Bradley. Prof. Halligan, Prof. W. W. Johnson.

Club The Agricultural Council has been functioning in the college since 1927 for the purpose of advancing student interest in agricultural activities. Membership in the council consists of the presidents of the various agricultural clubs and organizations. This past year the Ag Council spon­ sored an all Ag get-together in the fall for the benefit of the freshmen and an Ag Banquet during the winter term at which awards were made to the outstanding agricultural students in scholarship and activities. An outdoor get-together is planned for the spring term. The council also sponsors athletic contests in baseball and basketball between the various ag clubs. K. Acker, R. Dickie, C. Monroe, F.

H I L I G H T S The center of college activity, the Union building, has been the scene of a great many varied activities. Yet of all the parts of the building the Grill is perhaps the most used. Tables that were made to hold "vittles” more often support elbows and cards. Blue with smoke and reeking with lemon cokes, the Grill is a veritable den all hours of the day. During the elections more campaigning is done here than in any other part of Ingham county. Po­ litical phenegeling begins here and ends at the polls. With a radio to soothe the troubled brow and cards and cards and cokes and cokes ’twere paradise enow (until dean calls, at least). Never let it be said that a college education doesn’t prepare one for all exigencies. Never waste time is the slogan and where once the idle men whittled, now they chip rocks and break stones and pick at boulders. There is even an entire course devoted to teach stu­ dents to know what kind of rock they are chipping or picking or even throwing. Geol­ ogy for many years was a product purely of the prisons but now, Allah be praised, it is coming into its own and student after student will take off his cap-and gown and seat himself contented, beside a stone house to gaze enrap­ tured at the multitude of specimens contained thereon. * H: * And now a touch of the serious. Way over there in Ag Hall is a group of rooms at one end of the building that creates more noise and confusion than any other three buildings on the campus. The publications office has the tremendous task of printing all of these out­ lines for History and Political Science and many other subjects that students gripe about. The office publishes and distributes bulletins, pamphlets, magazines, printed matter in every conceivable form over the state and sometimes even abroad. So far its been a rather secluded and isolated office but our guess is that under the present plan to advertise the college the office will be the hub around which the college will turn if and when it turns. * ^ And, so that the grand old game of checkers and chess would flourish in this here now insti­ tution of learning, Rag Riggs, Union Building Bouncer, established a few tables and sets about the lobby. For awhile the grey beards of the faculty seemed to be about the only ones that played. Then later a student wishing to become, let us say friendly, played with one of the faculty. Much to his consternation he won. So he flunked that course. But our hero was not daunted. He had discovered that he too could play. So he took on all comers. Soon the Union was overrun by checkerers and chessers and that s the situation as it stands today. Little written of and little seen, nevertheless, the rear of the Olds Engineering Hall is a vital part of the campus. Oif and on throughout this section random shops of out of the way places will appear. Places that the average stu­ dent doesn’t even know; exists. For it is a far cry from the stamping grounds of thé Liberal Arts students to the territory covered by the engineer. Turbines and motors and oil cans and pipes and lines and coils, all just so much turbines and motors and oil cans and so forth, to most people. Yet away from the college and in technical circles the Engineer’s Hall is as well known as the stables are in certain other circles. * * * * A certain group of students on the campus wanted to use the present edition for purely selfish motives. Rumors had been rumored as rumors will, that hours were being passed in idle sloth so the situation was posed and the moral is that even students study at times and the authentic, vouched for, notaried photo­ graph indicates a number of engineering stu­ dents poring over their notes, inhaling great drafts (?) of knowledge. Three-quarters of an hour was devoted to rounding up two ag stu­ dents, three home ec majors and a news boy from East Lansing for this shot. Page 149 And for those that don’t know a trump from an ace there’s the more strenuous games like pool and billiards. The four tables seem to be in use most of the time which accounts in part for the vacant tables in the library. Dur­ ing the past year a number of telegraphic meets have been held with other universities and col­ leges in which the local cueists and ball pocket inners have enticed trophies and laurel wreathes from other brows. Ordinarily six men do not play at one table as in the far left of the pic­ ture. Nor do they in these parts, stranger. Those are the same type of people that say, "why didn’t you lead out trump?” Only here they smile knowingly and shake the head sadly from time to time and utter not a word. H* H® H* Finding it much easier to study with one eye than with two, microscopes were installed in Ag Hall. Here interested people congregate and gaze fascinated into a tube hour after hour. Perhaps at the other end little Amos Amoeba will wiggle or sneeze and thereby upset another theory. But it is said that physiology has its moments and that muscles and bones and tis­ sues and nerves are much different when you get to know them intimately. This class hasn’t reached the cynical stage when they start to pick everything apart. Contact with the outside world is established by the local unit of the United States Postal system. As inevitable as taxes and death is the weekly sending home of the laundry and per­ haps the monthly sending home a request for a few dollars, you know, dad, I’ve found out there were a few books that I didn’t know about and tuition is higher and my board bill is due, etc. And a sign over the desk announces the coming J-Hop. But the Post Office serves as a general meeting place on the boulevard to hash over the news from home. Bills are hastily read and forgotten, checks are carefully folded and put away and the inevitable laundry is lugged homeward. Minus the long hair and flowing ties these bud­ ding artists have most of the human traits. Paradoxically enough the art department of the college is way up there on the fourth floor of the Engineering Building. That building is getting a lot of advertising this issue. The fourth floor is literally plastered with the art work of the students and the instructors. Busi­ ness art, advertising art, artistic art and land­ scape art all are studied and practiced and the results exhibited. And even for those students who "just need two credits” there’s bound to be something new to learn. H* H* H« "I’ll meet you in the library.” The old stock phrase used in the beginning course of cam- pustry. Canoes, swings, walks and roadsters have their place but only in the summer and during the warm weather. So the library takes the place of the canoes, the swings, the rest of the list, during the winter. True, the lights are bright and the crowds sit around waiting for something to happen, but if no one comes and looks over your shoulder no one knows what is written to the one and only. So, let us say about forty per cent of those studying so dili­ gently their books in this picture are actually studying. The rest are, well, they’re in the library. * * * The library has already been fairly well dis­ cussed but this is the real workroom of the edi­ fice (building). The study room is used for va­ rious purposes it is true but few go to the assigned reading room for anything other than to read assigned reading. Lists and lists of biographies and novels and philosophical works and histories to be read and reported on. At the first of the term you read the whole book and report on the whole book and at the end of the term you read thirty pages and report on the whole book. No, there’s very little romance or glamor associated with this room. There’s the map room and the study hall and let’s see, uh, the museum is well spoken of by many. Page 151 Under the menacing forefinger of Mench- hofer, State debaters quail and shiver and vow to work a bit harder in the future. Gathered like this around the conference table the boys discuss the questions for debate and refute, re-, fute, change sides and refute to their hearts content. Ordinarily stacks of books practically hide the members as they sit and argue among themselves and pads and pads of paper are used to jot down random bits of wisdom which might or might not be useful in the next de­ bate. The light that seldom fails burns brightly over the work bench of Laycock, campus pho­ tographer. After leaving his position as lectur­ er in the Physics department, Mr. Laycock set up a studio in the old Armory just up from the bandroom and develops and prints and prints and develops at all hours of the day or night. Flowers, birds, animals, teams, build­ ings, insects, every conceivable item on the campus either has been photographed by Mr. Laycock or plans are being formulated to take the picture in the near future. Football games find him with his Graflex on the sidelines. The 1934 Wolverine is highly indebted to the work of Mr. Laycock for the results attained herein. Ah, and who hasn’t patiently stood on this old corner waiting for some kind hearted soul to stop and open the door. Thumb, thumb, why doncha stop, ding ya. Every hour of the day students stand glancing hopefully at the cars as they pass. And most of the cars go right past when one is in a hurry. Somewhat further down the road there is another such station for free transportation. It seems that here is one place where the female of the species has equal rights and equal rights only. Of course there is and always will be that type of human being who, though fifty years old will stop and select a co-ed from the group as his partner for the long ride down to Lansing. Heh, heh, what do I see. Far up in the Li­ brary there exists a number of cases and plat­ forms that are being used for a museum they say. There’s stuffed animals, and uh, stuffed animals and, well, there’s some benches. Vis­ itors may come from many cities to see this mu­ seum but students here at the college, though they do go up there considerably, can’t say for sure just what the cases do contain. The pho­ tographer slyly snook up one day and took this shot, having been informed by the janitor of the going-ons that one might encounter if soft shoe methods were used. Seriously though the museum is quite an affair even though you do go up there alone. They do say that it’s better with company. Whoops, date night. S; W. L. has sponsored these get-togethers for some time and they are getting more popular every time they are held. With dancing in the gym and swimming in the pool everyone finds something to do. The col­ lege as you know, or didn’t you? has one of the finest natatoriums under a college roof. The date night gives plenty of chance for that swim with the one and only and then again there is the chance to give a pre-season showing of that new swimming suit, if such it can be called. And what is college without some place to squander nickels for cokes and cones? Over on the boulevard drug stores offer plenty of chance for the usual hanging out and bull throwing which isn’t always confined to the study rooms. The drug store is just another one of those places where weighty conferences are held and momentous political questions arise and are . temporarily at least." Then, too, settled . there is the relaxation from going to college, a chance as it were to be collegiate for we hear that all of the best colleges in the movies have drug stores and that students, especially campus leaders, are to be found there at all times of the day surrounded by a flock of admiring friends. That1 s in the movies, understand. . Page 153 that, oh well, you know they just don’t have to be over that way so why go over there? * * * A click, a plunk and snap and another little ball goes whirling up the course and drops probably into the hole marked fifty. Nine more such operations, and a nickel is gone and noth­ ing to show for it. It’s the old game of "fish.” Over in the Union lobby, used for other things than "lobbying” during campaigns, two "fish” machines garner a small fortune from the gam­ bler element of the student body. Tsk, tsk, you can’t win. Of course some do but we played it and never made a thing so we’re against it. The ring of Ralph’s cash register is a cheery sound these days even if most of the rings are for nickel candy bars. Mary Stewart’s, the old hangout has moved these days and now holds forth over by the Post Office. Here is the movie type of hang­ out. If the person you’re looking for isn’t in the library they’re in Stewarts. Jim Trott, former State student, did the murals which on the side of the shop represent a map of East Lansing and on the other a map of the college itself. A number of prominent people are featured on the walls as well as a number of important events. H= sK H: Mary Mayo. The new dorm for co-eds. Furniture like we don’t have at home, rugs, fireplaces and everything. Men students go there more to see the building than to see the inmates of it. A great many scenes are enacted just outside of the portals which might make a lot more interesting material for a photograph than this one but, well, this one gives an idea of what else there might be. Note, too, the riding boots. To horse! To horse! A great many co-eds look great in riding habits until sitting on the back of a horse. Contrary to some people’s opinion, a college or a higher education if you must does supply a chance to learn the fundamentals of making a home. One entire building, the Home Eco­ nomics Building, one of the newest buildings on this campus, is devoted to the teaching the co-eds the ways and means of a cook stove. True, there are times when the aromas in the hallways might indicate that the learning proc­ ess has not as yet progressed very far, but on the whole, someone must learn something or else they wouldn’t keep the building there. The upper floors are devoted to sewing classes and similar studies. * * * Let’s see, hmmmm, another little weight and the darned thing ought to balance. Hours spent in patiently waiting for the pointer to come to a stop and then a few facts written into the notebook. But then, another report is finished. Working with scale, with meters, with fire and heat and electricity students work out problems slowly at the first of the term and then when the end of the term draws near, rush to com­ plete the term’s work in a few days. Pointers swing faster, flames burn higher and records are set in more ways than one. * * * Ahhhhhhhhh, now higher, ahhhhhhhh, now higher, ahhhhhhhh like that. A little more tremolo, vibretto, and a touch of virtuoso will do. Future opera singers carol day and night in the small soundproof (?) rooms of the music building, formerly Abbott Hall. All during the winter the students yoo hoo and ahhhhhhh to their heart’s content and no one is the wiser. Then comes spring and summer and with it the general opening of windows. Then the singer stands close by the window to watch people and to sing. Then passers-by carefully avoid that district. They shun it as the plague. Not that they don’t appreciate music. It’s just Page 15 $ EXCALIBUR Local Honorary Campus Fraternity Founded at M.S.C. in 1921 OFFICERS President ......................................................................................................................Gary Morgan Treasurer .....................................................................................................................Minard Farley MEMBERS Louis Asmus.......................................................................................President of Student Council Minard Farley.................................................................................................Editor of State News Robert Kline......................................................................................................Editor of Wolverine Gary Morgan...........................................................................................President of Union Board Floyd Morse.............................................................................................Captain of Baseball Team Gerald Muscott .......................................................................................President of Senior Class Wendell Patchett...................................................................................President of Varsity Club Milton Peasley..........................................................................Vice-President of Student Council Otto Pongrace.............................................................................................Captain of Track Team Candidates for Excalibur are tapped at the spring Water Carnival and during the Spartan Day celebration held in the fall.

However, with the organization of the Band Club in 1920 the problem became partially solved. The band Club in the years of its existence has been very valuable as an aid to the director of the band. It has upheld the morale of the band and has carried on many activities for the organization throughout the year. The Club holds its formal winter party every year which is a closed affair. During the last year twelve men were initiated into the organization. Upperclassmen only are eligible for membership in the club. It is largely due to the efforts of the club that the band has been able to maintain its reputation as a crack military marching band. Rand, Greenaway, Auten.

At certain .of the meetings all conversation must be in Spanish which often acts as a check upon the more voluble. Members have been known to go hungry because of failure to know the secret word.

The honorary requires high standards of musical ability, high scholarship and an interest in the advancement of music. A benefit fund has been established to aid members in pursuing their musical education. The organization participates in national music movements and in civic music ventures. Membership for the honorary is taken from the upper fourth of the Junior and Senior women students majoring in music. Mr. Lewis Richards is the patron for the sorority while Mrs. G. Kieffer is the president of the patroness group. This year a formal musicale was given at the home of Mr. and Mrs. B. Anderson and smaller musicales were given from time to time throughout the term.

Fuller, Haule. Orchesis, dancing society at Michigan State College, is a national honorary organization. The orginal organization was founded at the University of Wisconsin by Miss Margaret N. H’Doubler. At Michigan State College this society was founded by Miss Jane Darland, in 1928. By the end of the second year their regu­ lar work developed into the first dance recital. One member of this group returned the third year and in cooperation with Miss Kuehl, danc­ ing instructor, organized a group of new mem­ bers. The spring term of 1931 saw the second dance recital of the organization. This perhaps marked its first recognition on the campus, al­ though the year 1932 was the most outstand­ ing. It was during this year that the perform­ ance of Gluck’s opera, Orpheus, was presented by the Music Department in which Orchesis composed the ballet. This was the first per­ formance of Orchesis in cooperation with an­ other art center on the campus. The dances in Orpheus, with its varied scenes, were all original creations of Miss Ann Kuehl, advisor of the group, who has proved an accomplished and inspiring incentive to the girls working under her. The year 1933 saw an increase in membership of forty with a continuation of the progress made in the preceding years. Orchesis was founded to provide opportun­ ity beyond the scheduled class work in the dance for those students who have sufficient technical skill for more advanced work and an enthusiastic appreciation of the art of the dance. It is the aim of the society to foster the love of the dance and to promote an aes­ thetic spirit among the girls on the campus. The bond of a beauty seeking and life questing spirit unifies this Orchesis group, which meets every week to dance, so it draws students with various contributions to make—in music, in words, in color and design, in acting. Conse­ quently, it has come to be felt as an influential art center in the activities of the campus. The society devotes itself to original crea­ tive work—the recreation of music, poetry, myth and legend, into the movements of the dance, or into the individual’s own creative in­ terpretations. The members work among them- Page 170 selves with no thought of appealing to wider circles. From their regular work develop pro­ grams for "Guest Evenings”—informal recit­ als in which the students present their own dances to friends they have invited. And from these develop the larger program that is open to all who are interested. The major dance activities of the year in­ clude, The Canticle of Praise, the Christmas Program, and a spring term project which either takes the form of a dance recital or a program in cooperation with other allied arts departments of the College, such as the Music Department, the Dramatics Department, the Art Department and the Seven Arts Club, with whose aid and wholehearted interest Orchesis hopes to achieve more finished recitals. This group also contributes to the programs of the Matinee Musicale, the Faculty Folk Club, the Womans Club, House and Senate Club, Farm­ er’s Week, and High School assembly programs. Miss Ann Louise Kuehl has acted as advisor of Orchesis since 1930 and directs the dance activities of the society. She has studied the Dance at the University of Wisconsin, Uni­ versity of Minnesota, and Columbia Univer­ sity, following this with work at the Deni- ¿hawn School of Dancing in New York City. Cognizant of the great significance in the art of the dance as expressed in the past few years by the moderns, Miss Kuehl went to Austria, where she studied modern dancing under the internationally recognized German dancer, Harold Kreutzberg.

A girl becomes a member of the ^i^omen’s Athletic Association first when she attains one hundred points and then moves up into the realm of the "S” Club membership when a total of one thousand pomisi is reached. There are no officers of the organization in as much as there are no meetings and no active work. The awards for the organization consist of old English "S” s. There are eighteen sports in which co-eds may win points. The highest award for excellence in sports for co-eds is the signing of the Honor Roll which is hung in the W. A. A. cabin.

VARSITY CLUB Always one of the strongest organizations from the ranks of the list of honoraries on this campus, the Michigan State Varsity Club has continued during the past year, in upholding its high position. Members for the honorary are selected from the ranks of the varsity sport letter winners and candidates must be either Juniors or Seniors. The Varsity Club among its active members promotes leadership, creates enthusiasm, and gains recognition for all fields'of sport, and in addition makes closer contacts between the alumni and the members of the organization. As a direct representative of the athletic program the Club is growing rapidly in conjunction with the increasing popularity of State teams all over the country. Although a far cry from the gridiron and the diamond or the court, the Varsity Club stages one of the best formals of the year. As in previous years the Varsity Party proved to be a highly successful affair with a large number of alumni returning for the function. Coming as the first large formal of the year the Party attracted many from out of town as well as from the local campus. Clyde McCoy, he of the Sugar Blues, was brought to Lansing for the occasion. Under the management of Wendell Patchett, who has been prominent in Senior Class activities as well as being a first class hoopster, the Club has carried out a number of its aims and has aided the athletic department in developing a highly efficient sports department in the college.

The question debated this year proved espe­ cially interesting and timely. It was, "Resolved: that the powers of the President of the United States should be substantially increased as a set­ tled policy (as of March 4th, 1933.),” and turned into a discussion of whether or not the N.R.A. should be made permanent, in most cases. Four debates were held on the campus. Nine­ teen were held before farm organizations in widely separated sections of the state, the teams following a policy which turned out exception­ ally well the year before. It was found that not only were the farmers of the state vitally inter­ ested in the question being debated, but that the team served to advertise the College, and arouse interest in other of its activities. Other debates of similar nature were held before Women’s clubs, high school assemblies and luncheon clubs. There were few officially judged debates this year. In most cases the-'shift of opinion” bal- lot was used. The audience was given an oppor­ tunity to express its opinion before the debate started, by indicating whether it believed in the affirmative or the negative of the proposi­ tion, or whether they were undecided. Then, after the argument had been concluded, the people were asked to indicate whether they had changed their respective minds any. In most cases there was a decided shift in one direction or the other, indicating either that the people had been greatly influenced or that they had forgotten how they had voted in the first place, or that they liked the looks of one team better than the other. As a matter of fact, the audi­ ences were just as well qualified to judge as most of the team members by the end of the season, for although a few men had definitely taken a stand on one side or the other of the question, most of the debaters were very definitely in the doubtful column as far as deciding which side of the question was right was concerned. This condition was enhanced by the fact that most of the men debated on both sides of the ques­ tion. The season was completed by a round of de­ bates at the National Pi Kappa Delta Conven­ tion in Lexington, Kentucky, at which the col­ lege was represented by two of the senior mem­ bers of the squad: Robert Molloy and Charles MacLean. These men showed up well against stiff opposition from all parts of the country. The trip was given them as a reward for their participation in forensic work during their four years in college. The debate material was excellent this year, and the prospects look even better for next sea­ son. Seventeen men made the squad this year. Of these, four are graduating. However, there are four freshmen on the squad who show a great deal of potential ability. These, together with the other members of the squad who are left over, should make a wonderful nucleus about which to fashion next season s team.

WOMEN’S DEBATE The Michigan State College Women’s Debate squad for the year 1934 was for the most part made up of inexperienced members. In fact, the loss of two varsity debaters from last year’s team necessitated the forming of an entirely new organization about Miss Viva Richardson, the only remaining veteran. However, with the addition of Claudine Burkhart, Katherine Campbell, Rhoda Carr, Lela Keener, Marian Kish, Helen Krone, Doris Reber, Frances Scul- lin and Blair Williams, a very capable aggrega­ tion was finally formed. All of these women took part in various debates throughout the state, most of which were held in the evening, thus permitting the co-eds to attend classes reg­ ularly. The question for this year among the Michi­ gan colleges was "Resolved: That Substantial Grants be Given by the Federal Government to the States for the Purposes of Public Elemen­ tary and Secondary Education as a Settled Pol­ icy.” This proposition was used during the en­ tire winter term, the State squad engaging in nineteen debates in this interval. The institu­ tions with which debates were held were Adrian College, Michigan State Normal College, Kala­ mazoo College, Olivet College, City College of Detroit, Central State Teachers College, Hills­ dale College, Battle Creek College, Western State Teachers College, Albion College and Cal­ vin College. But four of these meetings were scheduled for the local campus, the others being held in other cities in the state. State upheld the affirmative side of the question in ten of these debates and the negative side in the other nine. On Friday, February 9, the League tournament was held at Ypsilanti, State debating four times during the day. From April 2nd through April 6th, the Na­ tional Pi Kappa Delta Speech Tournament was held at Lexington, Kentucky. A large number of colleges and universities from all over the United States attended the meet and competed in various forensic contests. Michigan State en­ tered the competition, four co-eds, the coach and a chaperon making the trip. Miss Claudine Burkhart and Miss Viva Richardson debated both sides of the question, "Resolved: That the Powers of the President of the United States be Substantially Increased as a Settled Policy.” At the same convention Miss Lela Keener repre­ sented Michigan State in the Extemporaneous Speaking Contest, and Miss Marian Kish entered the Oratorical Contest. Throughout the season, practically all of the debates were held before non-partisan groups such as clubs, high school students, etc., with no official decisions being rendered, the audi­ ences giving their opinions of the relative mer­ its of participants, a procedure which is at best a hit or miss proposition. Many factors enter into an audience decision which tend to bias the judgment of various individuals and make the question of who won the debate a matter of conjecture. Many people have certain opinions already formed and during the course of a de­ bate are likely, to favor the side which upholds these opinions. Then too, especially when wom­ en are the contestants, there is too much likeli­ hood of a decision being given on the basis of pulchritude rather than merit. Three members of the team, Miss Claudine Burkhart, Miss Marian Kish and Miss Viva Richardson, graduate this year, and again as in the case of the beginning of the season, the team will have to be rebuilt around the remaining members, Blair Williams, Lela Keener, Kather­ ine Campbell, Doris Reber, Helen Krone, Rhoda Carr and Frances Scullin comprising the nu­ cleus for the 193 5 team. The Women’s Debate Squad is under the di­ rection of O. J. Drake, instructor in the Speech Department.

Page 197 MILITARY HELEN SUTTON—Corps Sponsor COILA ANDERSON—Infantry Sponsor ANGELICA RODNEY—Cavalry Sponsor KATHERINE M’KEE—Band Sponsor MILITARY UNITS OF R.O.T.C. The objective of the Military Department of Michigan State College is laid down in general regulations of the War Department. Specifically, the aim is to assist students in attaining the ideals of good citizenship with a fine spirit of cooperation and team work and a keen appreciation for properly constituted authority. In addition, it aims to graduate from the R.O.T.C. a limited number of students enrolled in the Advance Course who upon satisfactorily complet­ ing such course are offered commissions as second lieutenants in the Reserve Corps of the Army of the United States. DORSAY R. RODNEY, Lt. Colonel. Captain S. G. Blanton Infantry Major Thomas-Stahle Coast Artillery INFANTRY The first division of the Military Science Course is the largest, the infantry. This course is divided into four very definite periods of training. Each of these periods is broad in scope and gives a thorough training in the funda­ mentals and in the theoretical instruction so essential to every infantry man. taught. Under During the first year the fundamentals of Military Training are this heading come the Obligation of Citizenship, Current International Situations, Military His­ tory, Military Discipline, Courtesies and Customs of the Service, Military Sanitation and First Aid, Map Reading, Leadership and Rifle Marksman­ ship. Each Spring the first year men march to the strains of martial music up and down the Plains of Sherburne. In the second year a continuation for the most part of the subjects begun in the frosh year is the course of study. Military History, Lead­ ership, Automatic Rifle, Musketry, Scouting and Patrolling, and Combat Principles in Attack and Defense are some of the subjects taught. The Sophomores are squad leaders and act as the John Hicks Cadet Colonel Page 206 INFANTRY non-coms for the battalion. This is the first real training in leadership that many students have and therefore is of con­ siderable importance. Although humorous results come from the inexperience during the Spring Parades and often squads execute rather odd maneuvers in the course of their meanderings down the parade grounds, the training is very beneficial. In the third year comes the more specific training in Military Sciences. Aerial Photograph Reading, Leadership, Machine Guns, Pistol, Howitzer Weapons, Rifle Marksmanship and Combat Training are the subjects stressed during the first year of elective training. The Junior Students are also subordinate officers and herd the squads through drills and parades. How­ ever, these students discard the regulation cadet uniform in favor of the boots and regalia of the officer with the exception of the insignia and belts. Following the Senior Year which carries on the course with Military Law, Tanks, Mechanization, Signal Corps Instruction and kindred courses the student is commissioned as a second lieutenant in the Reserve Army of the United States. CAVALRY UNIT The Cavalry unit at Michigan State College is one of two such R. O. T. C. units in the Sixth Corps Area, the only other mounted unit being at Illinois. Men enter­ ing the mounted unit here at school are required to have had some previous experience with horses. The course of training, as in the other units, is divided into two parts. The Basic course, comprising the first two years, and the Advanced course open only to those best qualified who have taken the basic work. The spirit of the men in the Cavalry unit is such that many who finish the basic course and desire to continue are unable to do so because of the necessary limitation placed on the number of Advanced students. The Basic course embraces many of the funda­ mentals of any arm of the service, with special applica­ tion to Cavalry drill. Men are instructed in Military Courtesy and discipline, use of the Cavalry weapons, and mounted and dismounted drill. Second year men in the basic course also study the Machine Rifle, Machine Gun, Musketry, and Scouting and Patrolling. David Meinzinger Cavalry Lieutenant-Colonel The Advanced course prepares the student for a commission as Second Lieutenant in the Cavalry Reserve. The Juniors and Seniors are the actual officers and instructors of the basic courses in discipline and drill. Much time is spent during this period on Horsemanship, Combat Principles, Military Law, Military History, Animal Management, Use of Cavalry Weapons and Tactics. SW— ■ il A ■ I .....

Page 208 The unit has available approximately sixty horses and nec­ essary mounted equipment as well as equipment for the dis­ mounted units during spring term. The members of the basic courses receive expert training in the handling of the funda­ mental weapons of their arm. The summer training period is usually held at Camp Custer and is required of all Juniors in the advanced course. One of the features of this training is the mounted march to Camp Custer and return. Summer training consists mainly in the application in the field of principles learned in the class-room. The Unit is organized as a Cavalry Squadron, composed of four troops, one mounted troop made up of Sophomores and three dismounted troops. The Unit is commanded by a Cadet Major and furnishes one Cadet Lieutenant Colonel to the Cadet Colonel’s staff. Polo is sponsored by the advanced students of the Cavalry unit and games are played with other schools in the Fifth and Sixth Corps Areas. Aside from its regular duties the Cavalry unit has furnished various mounted games and other features for the college during Farmer’s Week programs and the like. The unit has been brought up to a high standard of efficiency among the other units in the Military department due mainly to the aggressive leadership and instruction received from Captain M. I. Voorhes and Lieutenant Royce A. Drake, the present instructors of Cavalry. COAST ARTILLERY The Coast Artillery Unit at Michigan State College is com­ posed almost entirely of Engineering students. Freshmen and Sophomore students in Engineering are required to take the basic Coast Artillery Course. The name, in this instance, is slightly a misnomer, inasmuch as the unit specializes in anti­ aircraft work. However, anti-aircraft batteries are an or­ ganic part of the Coast Artillery Corps. The Basic course in this division has much in common with all the other units, specializing more in the fundamentals of the soldier. This training is made up of the usual Military discipline, Army Organization and Drill, Sanitation and First Aid, study of the National Defense Act and Citizenship. The more specialized courses of the Basic unit are Organization of Coast Artillery, Primary Coast Artillery Instruction, Fire Control and Position finding, Naval Targets, Identification of. Aircraft and Coast Artillery Ammunition and instru­ ments. Fred F. VanAtta Lieutenant Colonel Coast Artillery The first year of the Advanced course deals with the basic training of the Artillery officer. It includes Mapping and Map Reading with special training in Aerial photographs and the reading of Aerial mosaic maps. Basic Sea-coast and Basic Page 210 Anti-aircraft gunnery with imaginary application of prob­ lems is another important division of this course. With this the third year man receives training in Military leadership by acting as non-commissioned officer and instructor of basic students in Military drill. The final year of training includes broader subjects of im­ portance to the reserve officer. In conjunction with the other units the fourth year student receives instruction in Military Law and Battery Administration, Military History and Pol­ icy. As a cadet officer he receives practical training in lead­ ership principles and the training of men as officer in com­ mand of units of the basic Artillery course. Specialized train­ ing includes Motor Transportation, Artillery Tactics, Field Engineering, Map Orientation and Artillery Material. The unit has a 75mm anti-aircraft gun and a 15 5mm gun for training purposes as well as the special instruments for location and plotting of fire on aircraft. Members of the Ad­ vanced course are required to spend one summer in advanced camp where they receive practical training in the use of the 75mm and 15 5mm guns for anti-aircraft and coast defense.

The company at Michigan State, K company, First Regiment, was the tenth chap­ ter to enlist, in 1914. At present there are 78 chapters throughout the various universities and col­ leges in the United States where military science is taught. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, is the first president to be a member of Scabbard and Blade, whose total membership numbers some 17,000. The purpose of Scabbard and Blade is to raise the standard of military training in the R.O.UC. units, promote a closer relationship between members, and members and instructors, and to foster the essential qualities of good and efficient officers and citizens. Since 1914 there have been 300 members enlisted in the Michigan State chapter. In 1928 it was instrumental in having the credits for the Advanced Infantry and Cavalry courses raised from 1/4 to 3, and in 1932 it secured permission for the advanced Artillery students to substitute their military credits for non-technical Engineering courses. Its membership is made up almost equally from students in the three divisions. It holds regular monthly luncheons in the Union and initiations twice yearly, in the fall for Senior students and in the winter for Juniors. The initial period of eight days consists of a comprehensive general course in military in itself and familiarizes the students with procedure in other units than their own.

Page 214 Page 215 Leonard Falcone, director of the Michigan State College Military Band, received his early training in instruments and technic in Italy under the famous Maestro Donatelli. Upon coming to this country Mr. Falcone entered the University School of Music at Ann Arbor from which he later graduated with an Artist’s diploma. In the short time that Mr. Falcone has been in this country he has become known as one of the out­ standing soloists in the country and has appeared as guest soloist with many famous organizations including the University of Illinois Concert Band and the National Band and National Orchestra at Interlochen, Michigan. While he has played at one time or another all of the common instruments, the instrument of which he is the master is the baritone. During his seven years of service with the State Varsity Band, starting in the fall of 1927, Mr. Falcone has earned a name not only as a director and a soloist but as a judge of music as well and has been called upon to act as judge in many of the state and district high school band contests. During the spring concerts which have proven popular in the last few years, Leonard Falcone appears as soloist with the band in at least one concert. Aside from his regular duties as director he also teaches instrumentation and composes and arranges numbers to be played by the band in the spring concerts. Leonard Falcone Director of Michigan State College Varsity Band Every band must have its drum major as well as its director for when seventy some college students get together there may be a difference of opinion as to the direction to be taken. So James Aldrich, stick twirler of Dowagiac, has led the band for the last four years. In these four years his duty has been to lead the band through all of its difficult maneuvers and letter formations for the football games in the fall, lead the band around the Plains of Sherburne during the Spring Pa­ rades and keep the organization intact for any extra parades which might call for the band, and in the past there has been more than enough. Practising constantly with his baton, Jim holds his own with college drum majors of similar organizations. While the military aspect of the band somewhat hampers any attempt at the so-called drum major strut, nevertheless, a high-step­ ping, baton twirling drum major will bring the stadium to its feet under any circumstances. While not acting as the drum major, Jim plays bass with the concert band during the winter term and during the Spring Concerts. With the band holding as high a position in the military and musical world as it does the history of the organization is naturally worth note. The band was founded over sixty- three years ago in the fall of 1870 at the time when mustaches had to be lifted over mouth pieces before playing, and trum­ pets were cornets. At that time the band numbered fifteen members and was directed by a student. Fifteen years later it became a military unit when the military department was or­ ganized as such on the campus. James Aldrich Drum Major Accordingly student direction was no longer sufficient for the band, and Professor A. J. Clark of the Chemistry Department was ap­ pointed as the military instructor and director for the unit. Many feet have marched over the parade grounds since then and now the band is nation­ ally famous for its high caliber of marching and playing. The band has made numerous trips in the past and has marched in competition with some of the best bands of the collegiate world. However, it is reputed to be the best marching band in the middle west. Nights spent under the flood lights and days spent on the field whip the unit into a mechanical perfection. Begin­ ning in the fall with a large number of year­ ling's, the leaders find the same difficulty year after year of building them up into band mem­ bers who can march and play. At first designs, letters and words were spelled out briefly and very little playing was done while in the formation. Later with the aid of Captain Crabill of the Military Depart- marched that afternoon in a field of mud. ment, maneuvers were worked out in which the band continued to march and play and moved from one word to another. Ordinarily the band spells out the name of the opposing college or university and plays their Alma Mater during the period between halves. After completing that a new maneuver is presented each week to the other side of the stadium where the local students are. Some of the best formations to date are the revolving S, the revolving G for Georgetown, the ST A T E as individual letters, the form­ ing of the words HELLO GRADS and the spell­ ing of the word STATE while marching down the field playing. High light or perhaps a low one for the year was the trip to Milwaukee for the Marquette- State game last fall. All but a few of the mem­ bers were somewhat touched by sea sickness, due to the presence of a slight rock to the boat while crossing. Arriving in Milwaukee a rain was found to be in progress and the band Page 21f For contrast the band marched in the annual Blossom Festival parade in Benton Harbor dur­ ing the spring. The State marching unit was honored by being selected to lead this parade over a list of well-known bands. But the band is not just a military, marching unit. It is also noted for its concerts and sym­ phonic work. Each spring concerts are pre­ sented in the Forest of Arden in the open air theater which are attended not only by the stu­ dents but a large number of people from outly­ ing cities as well. The concerts are a weekly af­ fair and even canoeing is overshadowed by the prospect of the spring concerts. Lewis Richards, internationally known pianist, has appeared with the band during these concerts as well as Leonard Falcone who has presented baritone solos. The band at the present time is somewhat smaller than ordinarily, due in part to the de­ crease of enrollment during the financial breathing spell. There are now but sixty-five pieces in the band of which number nearly one- half is composed of freshmen. For entrance into the band each applicant appears personally before Mr. Falcone and is subjected to rigid tests of reading and general musicianship. Out of the large list of applicants the names are posted a week later of those that have succeeded and have been selected for the Varsity Band. But that is only the first part of their training. Then the yearlings are drilled for at least a week by themselves before they are drilled with the remainder of the band. At the beginning of the fall term the band drills every night in the week and appears for football games on Saturdays. During the winter term rehearsals are held three nights a week which time is spent on symphonic work for the Spring Concerts during the last term of the year.

Emmons The Inter-Fraternity Council is that group of august gentlemen which attempts to govern in some measure at least, the seventeen fraternities within its jurisdiction. The Council, with the cooperation of the College Athletic Department, sponsors all the inter-fraternity athletic contests, tournaments, or whatever. This includes bowling, baseball basketball, track, touch football, tennis and bull throwing. In addition to these sundries the Council regulates pledging among the houses and the dat< and duration of hell week, seemingly our one unabolished tradition. Aside from the numerou; athletic trophies, the organization sponsors a cup for the best home-coming decorations and anothei for the highest scholastic rating among the Greek brotherhoods.

Or Len Montgomery, Varsity Swimming Captain, Wolverine, Press Club, Officers Club, Porpoise, Blue Key and the like. The Officers Club takes eleven Ae Theons in all, the Press Club six, and Phi Lambda Tau four. Maurice Day is President of the latter, and Morris Cornell is Secretary-Treasurer. Alex Collier, Ed Kemp and Don Montgomery are among the Blue Keyers, Kemp being President of the outfit, a Scabbard and Blade and other things. Jack Peckham, Chairman of the Senior social activities, is a Sigma Epsilon, Porpoise, and a varsity swimmer. Don Montgomery, among other things, was a J-Hop committeeman and is to be next year’s Business Manager for the State News. Doug "Sugar” Graham is a Press Clubber and sports writer for the News and Wolverine. All of which constitutes about Ijialf of what those Ae Theons do in their spare time.

R.s have to their credit this year the winning of the Interfraternity Base­ ball championship, which is something or other. Although their field of athletics is rather limited, Bill Uckeli (a musical instrument?) at least aspires to great heights. Anyway, he is a varsity pole vaulter. Walt Hertzler is one of State’s famous cross-country team and a member of Alpha Zeta along with Keith Acker, who is Master of the student grange and on the livestock judging team. Don Barden is President of the Hort Club, a member of the band, Secretary of the Ag Council and Business Manager of the Agriculturist. George Welles, Earl Brunger and one of the Andersons vocalize with the Glee Club, and Bob Warren belongs to Scab­ bard and Blade. Chuck Palmer, who daily has a supply of new jokes (which doesn’t neces­ sarily mean that they’re good) is an assistant editor of the State News, a Blue Keyer and a member of Alpha Epsilon Mu. He is also a charter member of the Piddle Players, the lousy wags. Dave Falconer handles the cash (and there better be some) for the Senior class.

Phil Schwartz, the sinister, is a member of Theta Alpha Phi, national dramatic organization, and has made quite a name for himself in various campus productions. Abe (Crazy?) Katz won his numerals on the Frosh football squad, and Irv Shulman was on the varsity team. In the fencing field, Red Glass wielded a wicked blade as captain of the varsity team, and coached the Frosh team as well. George Lachar was on the varsity outfit, and Al Skelly was on the Freshman squad. The Alpha Lits also had boys in the orchestra and on the State News staff. The house was pledged to Alpha Epsilon Pi last year, and expected to go national this spring. B « Merdier, Skelly, Katz, Seligman, Riback, Silverman, Rosenfield.

Although the boys run rather heavily to athletics, they have plenty of representation in campus honoraries. "River” Morse is captain of the baseball team and has several fellow fly-chasers right there at the house including Al Kronbach, Arnold Parker and Ed Klewicki. Morse, Parker and Klewicki are members of the Varsity Club, and of course the last-men­ tioned gentleman has done plenty of damage on the gridiron. Dave Ireland is assistant baseball manager, and Walt Leitheiser is a varsity water churner. In Freshman sports they have lads coming up in track, swimming, wrestling and fencing. In the honoraries and such they have Dave Ireland in Alpha Chi Sigma, Max Stiles in Alpha Psi, River Morse in Excalibur, Mapley in the Band Club, Dick Myler on the News staff, and in Scabbard and Blade, Max Andrews, Don Davis and Marsh Pellegrom.

Other Blue Keyers are Dick Pendell and Avery Paxon, who is also a varsity football man and headed the decorations committee for the J-Hop. Ferris Church, Fred Emery and Eugene Slater, varsity football manager, are members of Scabbard and Blade.

It was formally organized as an agricultural fraternity on June 3, 1933. Prior to this time it had existed for a few months as a club. In spite of youth the Farm Housers are going strong now, and hang out at 323 East Grand River Avenue. They have seven members in Alpha Zeta, National Ag Honorary, five on the Ag Council, one in Sem Bot, and four who are presidents of various ag clubs on the campus. The latter are Cloyce Hankinson, Clare Monroe, Ford Crosby and Louis Drake. Walt Jacobs represents the House on the mats as a member of the wrestling squad. Roy Wallis, a pledge, is a State trackster, and Harry Lutz slithered a saber or something with the varsity fencers this year. So the infant is off to a healthy start. May it ever remain free from colic and straw­ berry rash. Jacobs, Graf, Krauss, Parmelee, Wood, Manthei, Bird, J. Hankinson, Stuewer, Walt.

The list includes Gardner of the State News, Sawyer of the Wolverine, T. Warner of the Wolverine and State News, R. Cotter of the Michigan Agriculturist and J. Warner and Van Dyke of the State News. Furthermore, Pierce is a member of the Tau Beta Pi, while Blake and Shaler belong to the Glee Club. The Hermian list also includes many athletes. Shaler and Kileen are varsity baseball men, while Edwards, Genter, Johnson, Henkel and Fredrickson are of gridiron fame. Besides this, J.

In the Varsity Club the Hespies have Bill Gilliland, a pigskin pusher, and Bob Wilson, a track man. (Only one track man from a house so far from campus and classes?) Don Sexton, who goes in for outdoor ping-pong, is Feature Editor of the Wolverine, and from the time he spends practising his parliamentary law around the office, ’tis a wonder if there be any features. The News fared better (perhaps) with Bill Kirkpatrick, Tom Hamilton, Bob Stoll and Bob Martin on the staff. Martin is a drummer and general odd-noise man in the band, and snuck in on the Band Club.

Gary Morgan is President of Ex- calibur, and as President of the Union Board;, presented the Union One Act Play Contest, and with characteristic passiveness even suffered the asininities of the Piddle Players to be blathered at innocent spectators. Mott Heath is President of the Press Club and holds down an associate editorship on that powerful publication, the State News.

Ralph Dickie, president of the Xi Sigma Pi and Forestry Club, is also a member of the Interfraternity Council, the Officers Club, the Polo team, and Agricultural Council. Don Quigley is president of the Pi Alpha Xi and Carl Gilmore vows that he is one of the Block and Bridle. Moreover, the people of Albert Street tell us that Chuck Miller is prominent in Band Club circles. Besides the splendid list of more or less intellectuals, the Phi Chi Alphas have several muscle men. Harold Gates is known far and wide for his wrestling prowess, but has been unable to pin Bob Edgerton, varsity track man. Whenever Frank Vaydik can tear himself away from his books, he may be seen on the basketball floor. Incidentally, the frat itself is more or less in the adolescent stage, having been organ­ ized only in 1925. Withal, they have more than 150 alumni tearing around the country.

Harold Decker is on the Union Board and Gerry Reed, who commits great atrocities upon a tenor sax, handled finances for the J-Hop. In a more athletic line of endeavor there are Bernie Osthaus and Chuck Guzak who scamper about the meadows looking for baseballs, or whatever they do. Chuck keeps in trim for said baseball by applying his talents to the field of track. Or maybe it’s vice versa. Frank Teske contorts with the wrestlers (or writhers, as you will) and Walt Flan­ nery flicks a pretty pair of ankles among the swimmers.

There is Bob Armstrong who has figured prominently on the gridiron for two years and Louie Zarza who did himself proud this year. Army is also Blue Key and Junior representative to the Student Council. In pledges they have Kurt Warmbein, football and track man, and Steve Sebo and Sam Ketchman on the Frosh squad. Ketchman is also gen­ eral chairman of the Frosh Frolic. Bill Mitchell has chased golf balls on the varsity for two years now. In the field of mental athletics Chuck Kelley has had plenty of worries as head man of the Junior class. Jim Quello has been more flustery than usual being feature writer for the News, publicity manager of the Hop, Treasurer of the Press Club, on the Liberal Arts Board and Blue Key.

The pursuit of higher learning must not take all of their time, however, because we find them lending their talents to a diversified line of activities.

It now includes twelve societies with an aggregate membership of something like 360 women. The organization acts as a sort of higher governing body over the sororities on the campus, and makes the rules for rushing and ribboning. The gels throw a banquet and a formal party each year, and on December 5 last, 339 campus queens turned out to break bread and sip coffee or whatever. Pan Hell once had a scholarship cup which they pre­ sented annually, but the Sigma Kappa’s have had it so long they won’t let anyone else put their finger prints on it. The Banquet this year was under the direction of Jane McClellan, with Martha Sum­ mers, Marguerite Paine, Eleanor Pioch, Betty Johnston and Marion Bates assisting. Ger­ trude Rodney was General Chairman of the Formal, with Carol Simcock, Jean Carr, Mary Sue Kantz and Myrtle Winslow acting as sub-chairmen.

The fraternity seems to be of a philanthropic nature, sponsoring a number of scholarship funds and doing social service work in Currin Valley, Virginia. The local chapter was installed in 1931, before which time it was known hereabouts as the Sesame Society, which may or may not have any connection with the significance of that term as used in the Arabian Knights of your younger years. Some of the girls who are active around and about our fair campus are Carol Simcock, one of those Spanish mumbling La Cofradians, Mary Huston is on the W. A.

The Interclass Indoor Baseball Tournament was contested in by teams from eight courses which included First Year Sixteen Weeks, Second Year Sixteen Weeks, Winter Term Agriculture, Dairy Production, Dairy Manu­ facturing, Poultry, Agricultural Engineer­ ing, and Practical Floriculture. The games were played in the riding hall. The team representing the Second Year Sixteen Weeks Course in General Agriculture proved its su­ premacy in this sport. The possession of an engraved loving cup for the year was their reward. A similar tournament was arranged in Bas­ ketball. The honors in this tournament were even more hotly contested. The victorious team represented the First Year Sixteen Weeks Course in General Agriculture. The four to five o’clock period on Wednes­ day was known as Short Course Flour. The occasion was a general convocation of short course students. Special programs were pro­ vided each week. The Short Course Orches­ tra and the Short Course Choral Club assisted with the entertainment features for the pro­ grams. Special addresses were given by the following people: January 3—Dean Ernest L. Anthony. January 10—Clarence Paquin, State Depart­ ment of Conservation. January 17—Prof. A. J. Clark.

ADVERTISERS ................... INDEX ......................... And so endeth another yearbook. Few people will ever get this far back in the book but for those that do we can only say that we wish them all the luck that has been wished us in the past. We hope that there has been some­ thing in this volume that will be remembered and that the book will have uses other than to hold up the window on hot summer nights. We wish the next editor and his staff luck and two worn out typewriters. So saying we lock the door and leave the most interesting work we have ever been connected with, college publications.
