Cook Clan Boasts Four Generations of Spartans Last issue of THE RECORD made note of a family tree which sprouted three generations of Spartans. The Cook family, Owosso, boasts four. Albert B. Cook III, who returned to MSC this fall, was first in the fourth generation of his family to become a Spartan. His father, A. B. Cook II, graduated from MSC in the twenties. His grand father, A. B. Cook, Sr., was graduated in 1893, and his great grandfather, A. J. Cook, in 1862 in Michigan State's second graduation class. A. J. Cook was also an instructor at MSC for a number of years after his graduation. A number of other Cooks who also graduated from Michigan State are the three children of Mr. and Mrs. A. B. Cook, and a granddaughter, Mary Fran ces Marshall.

THE A F F A I RS OF S T A TE ENROLLMENT New Courses for Coeds Michigan State's enrollment took its first post-war dip this fall, a modest eight percent, but it was enough to con vince college officials that the anticipated post-war leveling off period in enroll ment is here at last. It was the first time since 1945 that MSC has failed to set a new enrollment record, according to Registrar Robert S. Linton. A total of 14,808 students had signed up Oct. 13, but this figure was swelled by 175 short course students enrolling Oct. 23. This total enrollment of 14,983 compares with the final 1949 fall enroll ment of 16,243, Linton said. A sharp decline in veteran enrollment and a mild upswing in the proportion of coed students this fall gave additional proof that "Operation G.I. Student" is all but over. Veterans dropped from 42 to 30 percent, and women students in creased to 28 percent, a two point rise over 1949. Linton attributed the decrease to un certainty over the Korean situation, and a general leveling off of enrollment ex pected throughout the nation this year, following graduation of veteran-heavy 1950 classes. Student Affairs Fourteen Michigan State this the hard way students learned that there's a limit to how much "pep" you can put into a pep rally. fall Specifically, of course, the game was with the University of Michigan, and Spartan rooters went all out with a "confidence" rally Friday night, and a "we told you so" celebration Saturday. Nine students got into hot water with campus and local police after the pep rally Friday spread from the college band inter shell to the main East Lansing section at Abbott Road and Grand River. Traffic on state highway 16 was halted, policemen got roughed up a bit, and some students ended up with police hats and badges as souvenirs. Saturday's victory rally was not quite as riotous as the preceding evening, but some students made the mistake of kindling a bonfire in the street. Victory- happy Spartans proudly displayed Wol verine goal posts and line markers, their first chance since 1937. The fourteen students apprehended as "trouble makers" during the two nights of celebration got the verdict a week later—strict disciplinary probation. It seemed that most of them would have "repaid their debt to likely, however, 4 . . . . T HE R E C O RD Michigan State College has again delved into new and "untried" fields of education by setting up two unusual, brand new courses—both of which fea ture women students. For the first time in its history, the Department of Police Administration has opened its portals to women, and also, for the first time at the college, Swedish mass calisthenics are being taught in the Department of Physical Education for Women. In police administration, a new four- year course in crime prevention has been set up to permit the entrance of women students, according to Prof. Arthur Brandstatter, head of the department. In the planning stage since 1948, the program was established to fill a grow ing demand for trained personnel, par ticularly women, in the field of crime prevention. The new course is not designed spe cifically for coeds, however, and college officials expect an equal distribution of men and women to enroll. The course combines psychology and sociology with practical poKce skills such as criminal investigation, ballistics, and lie detection. Graduates of the course will be con cerned with the postive action of police in "preventing crime at its source, and preventing children and youth from the tragedy of criminal careers that destroy themselves and society," Brandstatter said. Along more recreational lines, one of Sweden's foremost women physical edu cators, Kirsten Hardenberg, has come to the Spartan campus to teach women stu dents Swedish mass calisthenics, Eu ropean ice skating. folk dancing, skiing, and Miss Hardenberg was recommended to the college by the Royal Swedish board of Gymnastics, top physical education organization in Sweden. The Swedish program coordination includes mind- body rhythmic gymnastics, with naturalness of move ment and individual development empha sized rather than regimental precision, Miss Hardenberg said. through FUTURE FEMININE COPS: Some of Michigan State College's first crop of women to enter the Department of Police Administration are shown conducting ballistics tests in the department's labor atory.

The gridiron rivalry was not restricted to Michigan State students, however, as Wolverine undergraduates paid East Lansing a call on Sept. 26, armed with paint brushes. They painted four spots, including the monument to Spartan ath letes killed in World War I which stands at the northern entrance to the stadium. Michigan State students, who last year painted just about everything on the Ann students Arbor campus, have the last word in vandalism. let Michigan for Except the exuberant students, however, football spirit, most MSC students settled down to the serious task of classrooms and textbooks. College always seem to find time for those humorous antics which give spice to campus life. Lyle Thompson, Detroit senior, showed up in classes one morning in his bare feet to win a bet. The bet? His girl would not knit him a pair of argyle socks. Thompson was tired of hearing other fellows brag about their "love-knitted" argyles, so he told his girl she should knit him a pair for the proper show of affection. "She said she would knit me socks if I would go barefoot for a day, so I did," he declared. Thompson commented, "It's cold in September without shoes and socks." Commission Time Cut Veterans may now receive commissions in the U. S. Army and Air Force after one year of college work in Michigan State's Reserve Officer Training Corps. Beginning this fall senior students who are veterans may receive their commis sions after completing one year, instead of two, in the ROTC unit and a six-week summer encampment.

Cameras Roll at MSC The Michigan State campus had a real "Hollywood look" this fall. Two new color movies, portraying the activities and facilities of Michigan State College, are expected to be released soon. The motion pictures are being produced under the direction of the De partment of Information Services, headed by W. Lowell Treaster. The films will be made available after the first of the year to alumni clubs, high schools, college extension personnel, civic and other groups. One movie, entitled "Postmark East Lansing," is a 20-minute production, out lining the on-campus educational facili ties of the college. It is being produced by the Jam Handy Organization of Detroit, with Alvie L. Smith, college news editor, serving as coordinator. The second film, to run 30 minutes, is being produced by the Agricultural Ex periment Station to show research ac complishments in agriculture and related fields by college scientists. The movie is being produced by Don Doane, '47, of Doane Productions, Inc., under the direc tion of John Fitzgerald, '48, research writer in the Department of Information Services. For "Postmark East Lansing," the movie directors brought back pretty Barbara Tanner Bailey, '49, to star in the feminine role and recruited James Hale, Grand Rapids junior, as the male lead.

Surprising? Yes, very, in view of the opinion of pre-season dopesters who said the Spartans would be lucky to win five games. These experts had pointed specifically to the Spartans' loss of 21 lettermen, and one of the toughest schedules in history. Oregon State, Michigan Downed They changed their tune quickly, how ever, when the "green and untried" Mich igan State eleven swamped experienced Oregon State by a 38-13 score. They were left completely dumbfounded when these same fledgling Spartans battered mighty Michigan to its knees 14-7. That victory, first over the perennial in 13 Western Conference powerhouse years, boosted MSC into the second spot in national grid ratings. Head Coach "Biggie" Munn was the first to disclaim such an exalted position for his team. "It's regrettable," he said bluntly. "We're just not that good, even though we outfought and beat Michigan."

Veteran-Heavy M SC Boxing Team Hopes to Extend Undefeated String Maryland Upsets MSC The wisdom of these words was shown the following Saturday when the Spar tans, scarcely a shadow of team which dumped Michigan, was upset by an excellent Maryland team, 34-7.

It was the first win for the Spar tans over the Irish since 1918, and the first time in history that an MSC team had dumped both Michigan and Notre Dame in the same season. Still ahead, however, lay a rugged road that included encounters with Indiana, Minnesota and Pittsburgh. Whatever happened in those, however, the early victories had given immortality in Michi gan State hearts to this 1950 team. team Just what had happened to make this low rated Spartan into another grid machine to be reckoned with by all? A number of things should be men tioned, topped by the skillful coaching of "Biggie" Munn and his staff.

T HE R E C O RD the For last two years Michigan State's boxing team came within a glove- lace of fighting itself to the top of the collegiate fistic heap, only to see the coveted NCAA crown slip from its grasp at the last instant. This year Spartan fight fans look for things to be different. The tourney will be held at East Lansing in March. Coach George Makris certainly isn't predicting any national championship, Leroy Crane, fullback, who returned to offensive stardom he had relinquished as a junior because of a bad knee; Bob Carey, giant junior end; Don Coleman, rugged little tackle; Jesse Thomas, ace pass defense man at safety, and many others must be considered. Special accolades also must be given to sophomores like Vince Pisano, who did a fine job of filling Lynn Chandnois' big shoes at right halfback; Dick Tam- buro, who first string center post and played even brilliantly at times; Doug Weaver and Ed Timmer- man, defensive linebackers who did yoeman service, and numerous others. took over the After the 36-33 win at Notre Dame, Michigan State had ceased to be a "sur prising" team. Anything could now be expected of it. Spartan fans had a right to be proud. the fact but he would have a difficult time con that he has one of cealing the most powerful squads ever assembled in Jenison Gym. Last year's team was undefeated in dual competition. fight Three Were 1949 Finalists Spearheading the team will be light heavyweight Chuck Speiser, captain-elect Hank Amos, a scrappy 125-pounder, and Gabby Marek, a free swinging heavy weight with power.

Robin Roberts, '48, Stars As Phils Win First Baseball Flag in 35 Years By BUD ERICKSON, '48 first Robin Roberts, 20-game winner '48, the Philadelphia Phillies since Grover Cleveland Alexander in 1917, was the National League's "Johnny-on-the- spot" pitcher throughout the entire 1950 first campaign as the Phils won their pennant in 35 years. Roberts, just three years removed from the Spartan campus, got the Philadelphia "Whiz Kids" off to a flying start in the p e n n a nt 1950 c h a se w i th an opening day 9-1 win over Brook lyn Dodgers, de f e n d i ng l e a g ue champions. Rob erts was named t he Na t i o n a 1 League's starting pitcher in the all s t ar g a me a nd and hurled mas terful ball for three innings. He left the leading, 2-1, game with the Nationals the foundation for the senior circuit's thrilling 13-inning, 4-3 win. Roberts Roberts Clinches Pennant When the pennant scramble came down to the last day—the Phillies needing a win for the prized bunting—Roberts again was called by Manager Eddie Sawyer. He responded with a brilliant 4-1 victory in 10 innings over the threatening Dodgers. "Robbie" was slated to hurl the World Series opener for the Phils but, needing a day's rest after the pennant-clinching game, pitched the second game instead. He lost an extra-inning 2-1 decision to the Yankees on Joe DiMaggio's home run in the 10th. With a season's record of 20 wins and 11 losses, "Robbie" took his place in a quintet of big league hurlers who joined the ultra-exclusive "20-game winner club" in 1950. After signing a contract for a $25,000 bonus in 1947, the husky ex-Spartan star spent two months of the 1948 season with the Wilmington, Del., farm club before being recalled by the Phils. Last year, "Robbie" had a 15- 15 record as Philadelphia finished third. Starred at MSC Roberts was a star pitcher for two Michigan State diamond teams. He won four and lost two in 1946, while boasting a 1.72 earned run average, and the fol lowing year, drawing all the tough assignments, he won five and lost four. He appeared in 17 of 24 Spartan contests, and compiled a 2.88 ERA. The Springfield, 111., lad was also a top-notch basketball player. During the 1946-47 court season, Roberts was voted the most valuable player in Michigan collegiate basketball circles by newsmen and athletic officials.
