S I SEE I BY KENNETH POPPEN In his address to the 77th Con- gress, President Roosevelt stated his foreign policy, whole-heartedly backed by popular opinion. His previous "Fireside Chat" remark- ably sounded out U. S. opinion. It reacted favorably to his policy. Confident that he was armed with the weapon of popular support, he sat down and drafted an address that ripped off the last shred of U. S. neutrality—if we may liber- ally interpret that term. It is rather surprising that pop- ular opinion has changed so much in the last two years. It was not so long ago that "peace-at-any- price"- was the standard raised. The World War I, that "War for Democracy" proved to be nothing more than a clash of moneyed in- terests BRITAIN FINANCES HITLER REGIME? How familiar that sounds! Pierre Van Passen in his book "Days of Our Years," makes the astounding revelations which, if true, cast a doubtful shadow on t h e present "War for Democracy." He pointed out that in 1933 when Hitler came into power, Great Britain actually financed the new regime. Munitions and other war implements were sent to Germany with hopes that a Strong Germany would be a threat to Soviet Russia, whom the late Neville Chamberlain and his Clivedon Set feared more than a powerful Germany. But the bal- ance of power that Great Britain had hoped to keep, again tottered. Germany, when she became strong enough to be a threat to Russia, very diplomatically concluded a trade pact with the latter, to the surprise of the world. Another reason for the support of Adolph Hitler by the British and French was economic, according to Mr. Van Passen. Hoping to relieve unemployment congestion and re- cession, Britain and France started their arsenals to supply Germany's new regime with the necessary arffiaTTrar if-«11 'be ime, where are the "Principles of moral- ity . . . that will never permit us to acquiesce in a peace dictated by agressors and sponsored by ap- peasers ..." that Mr. Roosevelt speaks of in his address to the 77th Congress? It is impossible to lay the blame at the feet of the belig- erents; therefore it is equally im- possible to draw conclusions as to the moral right of any one nation or group of nations at war, as long as war is essentially immoral. U. S. SHEDS NEUTRALITY The United States is no longer a neutral nation. We have actively participated in the war on the side of England by concrete aid and declaration of pro-ally sympathies . . we are committed to full sup- port of all those resolute peoples, everywhere, who are resisting aggression and are thereby keep- ing war away from our hemis- phere ..." as the President puts his foreign policy. He is backed by 68 per cent of the nation's voters (according to the Gallup poll). The magnitude of the 17 billions for preparedness dispells any doubt in my mind that such a program will be confined strictly to "de- fense" unless we carry that defense into the enemy's territory. It is inconceivable that the United States should arm so tremendously if that defense were to be confined strictly to the Western Hemisphere. WHITE RESIGNS IN PROTEST . William Allen White of Kansas resigned his chairmanship of the Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies. Reason: "In two of our chapters — New York and Washington—we have a bunch of war-mongers and . . . no way to oust them ... I just can't re- main at the head of an organiza- tion which is being used ... to ghost dance for war." We as col- lege students should see through the subtle mask of demoralizing propaganda and search for the truths behind it and draw our own conclusions without b e i n g influ- enced by the pent-up emotions a war can produce upon a public of a non-belligerent nation. The old adage, "History repeats itself" still holds true and if we analyze pre- vious wars we find that they all run in the same pattern—true to form in their general causes and in their slogans. Anchor LIV-8 Official Publication of the Students oi Hope College at Holland Michigan Swart, Shiphorst Announce Plans Of Glee Club Trip Will Include One-Day Stop-Off at New York; 30 to Participate Robert Swart, president of the Men's Glee club, and business man- ager, Al Shiphorst, have announced tentative plans for a tour to be taken from March 21 to April 5 with stops at Detroit, Rochester, Albany, New York City, New Jer- sey, Philadelphia and Cleveland. It will be an extensive tour; how- ever, there will be a free day in New York City. It has been de- cided that the fellows will wear tuxedos with orange and blue bands across the front. The last time the boys went on a tour was in 1938; in 1939 was the girls' turn, but last year neither group went. Whether they go or not depends to a large extent on how much work they do and on how much they are able to accom- plish in their rehearsals. Thirty members will be included on the tour. January 15, 1941 Plan Cornerstone As Drive Totals $90,000 Plans are being made for break- ing ground and laying the corner- stone about the time of commence- ment in June, as the science build- ing drive progresses steadily, re- ports the committee. Individual contributions are streaming in from Detroit, Grand Rapids, Chicago and cities in New York and New Jersey. One contribution of $1,000 came in from a friend in the east, and sev- eral of $500 have been received from alumnae. It has been esti- mated that the total sum at pres- ent is around $90,000. Loudon Speaks To Student Body On Homeland Status Dutch Minister to U. S. Stresses Sovereignty Not Lost But Dormant Dr. Alexander Loudon, minister from the Netherlands to the United States, addressed the student body of Hope college and guests in Hope Memorial chapel on Friday morn- ing, January 11, at 11 o'clock on "The Situation of the Netherlands Today." Explains Dutch Sovereignty Dr. Loudon e x p l a i n e d that although the active sovereignty of -the xNetherlands ia-temporarily out of the hands of the Netherlands government, that sovereignty is not lost but dormant. The Netherlands government is not an ex-govern- ment, he said, but is in the position of a man who has had his watch stolen. The victim of the robbery will naturally do all he can to re- cover his just rights. President Wynand Wichers offi- ciated at the program, and Dr. Henry Beets of Grand Rapids offered prayer. Also on the plat- form were Jacob Steketee, Nether- lands consul at Grand Rapids, and J. Able, Washington advisor for Dr. Loudon. Attends Reception Dr. Loudon came here while on a speaking tour through the mid- west. During his stay in Holland he and Mrs. Loudon were guests of the Netherlands pioneer and Historical foundation, who enter- tained them at a luncheon in the Warm Friend tavern and a recep- tion in Hope Reformed church. The visit of last week was the second that Dr. Loudon had paid to Holland. On January 15, 1940, he came here to receive an hon- orary degree of doctor of laws from Hope college. It will also be remembered that Meany Day Is Huge Success At Akron U. (By Associated Collegiate Press) "Be Mean," was the only rule for Meany day set aside by the Buchtelite, University of Akron student newspaper as a day for students to grouse and gripe, the day to be mean to everybody. The old days of custard pie movies came back when a real meany tossed a piece of lemon meringue pie at a coed, and hit his mark. Another coed got her face washed in snow. One meany poured water in a girl's high rub- ber boots; another student was given a hot-foot, while still another student's shoe-laces were tied to- gether while he was sitting in the student cafeteria. Someone mixed up all the hats and coats in the checking room, while someone else was dumping snow into all the boots checked there. A student was given a raw hamburger in the cafeteria, so he took it back in the kitchen and cooked it himself. Then he refused to pay for it. In keeping with the ornery spirit of the day, the Buchtelite was printed in dirty brown ink. ITHE HEAT'S ON AGAIN!!

Steketee Speaks To Pi Kap On Latin America The monthly meeting of Pi Kappa Delta was held at the Fraternal house last Wednesday evening, Jan. 8, with members of the men's and women's debate squads as guests. Miss Evelyn Steketee, teacher in the local high school, reviewed the history of the Latin American nations in connection with the de- bate subject for this year. John Hains, junior, sang "South of the Border" preceding the talk. Outlines So. Am, History Miss Steketee traced the rise of South America from Spanish dom- ination, through the period in which Simon Bolivar agitated for freedom. At the turn of the last century Yankee Imperialism gave rise to hard feelings. Since the proclamation of the Good Neighbor policy in 1935 there has been in- creasing cooperation between the nations of this hemisphere. Several questions were put to Miss Steketee by the debaters and a discussion and social time fol- lowed. Mary Ruth Jacobs, senior, president of the society, was in charge of the meeting.

"She has a very charming and attractive personality," Jennie Spoelstra, our school nurse, said about her. "I think this is one of the best opportunities offered to our coeds; it is a subject which is of vital importance and should be of interest to every girl. And Dr. Block can present her material in a practical, yet informal manner." Miss Spoelstra went on to say that Dr. Block is not like most women doctors since she does not have that impersonal manner. Is Member of Health Dept. Dr. Block is a consultant in Maternal and Infant Welfare for the state department of health of Lansing. At present she is study- ing for her doctor's degree in public health at the University of Michigan. Ten years' work in Korea has given her many inter- esting experiences. There will be opportunities for individual conferences on Thursday from 10 to 12 in the morning. Appointments should be made with Margaret Bilkert and Helen Van Kooy. The lectures are sponsored by the Women's Activities League. Gravel-voiced Andy Devine, Hollywood comedian, was once a football player at the University of Santa Clara. DOLLY'S FEET . . Van Oss Appointed We all know that it is a common practice (?) for Hope's students to hold hands (their own or some- body else's), but have you ever heard of the custom of holding feet . . . No ? Well, just drop in around the dorm some time and Trudie Bolema and Dolly Kamps will show you how. We want to take this opportunity to thank all those who helped us Voorheesites out by buying station- ery and Christmas cards. If you have any suggestions as to what we should use the money for, make your thoughts known—any "dorm- ite" will gladly listen to your sug- gestions. . . . incidentally, you might get a date to tell her about it. In case you have wondered about Doug MacDonald and his actions, he states that he is "built for com- fort and not for beauty." Don't be so humble, Doug. Did you know that Jeanne Swart received a powder box which plays "I Dream of Jeanne With the Light Brown Hair" every time the cover is removed? Appropriate, don't you think? There is no doubt but the giver of the gift does have sweet dreams. Edith Rameau spent one week of her vacation out in the "wild and woolly East" and we are all glad that she "liked it very much." After all, it is going to be her home in the future. It certainly is sad that Jay Witte has had to go around with part of his shoe missing. Do you think it would be wise to take up a collec- tion for him? Oh, excuse me, he had an accident and smashed his toes. In that case. Jay, we offer our sympathy to you. We don't doubt but that Caroline Kremers had a marvelous vacation. Why? Well, after all, she did see Johnny. How is he faring with all those big "Stiffs?" Prof. William Schrier's class in group discussion has been meeting in the commons room the third period on Monday, Wednesday and Friday of the past few weeks. Soft davenports and informal surround- ings have been conducive to spirited discussions. Dorothy Muller, freshman, is on a two-week vacation to Florida with her folks. She left Jan. 2 and expects to return on the 25th. Must be the weather—or something. Willis Van Oss, a Byron Center junior, received his principal ap- pointment to the United States Naval Academy at Annapolis, Md^ Monday, from Congressman Bartel J. Jonkman. Bill is a Cosmopolitan and is known around school for his baseball playing. Dr. J. Harvey Kleinheksel spent his Christmas vacation on a trip to Boston, Mass., where he in- spected numerous industrial and educational chemical laboratories. He was especially interested in the solution of the problem of ventila- tion and corrosion in the new mod- ern labs. Among the plants he vis- ited were the laboratories of Mass. Institute of Technology, Harvard and Northeastern Universities. Hamel Teaches Drawing To Club Members of the Pallette and Masque club have been taking free- hand drawing lessons from Peter Hamel, vice-president, in a room offered them on the first floor of the Education building. The scrapbook committee, under chairwoman Florence Dykema, has made a scrapbook of college life, academics, and activities, illus- trated with snapshots and graphs drawn by the students. Others are being compiled. These scrapbooks are sent to Rev. Anthony Luidens for use in the Science Drive. W. A. L.

POPPEN

In his address to the 77th Con-

gress, President Roosevelt stated

his foreign policy, whole-heartedly

ably sounded out U. S. opinion. It

reacted favorably to his policy.

Confident that he was armed with

sat down and drafted an address

that ripped off the last shred of

U. S. neutrality—if we may liber-

It is rather surprising that pop-

in the last two years. I t was not

The United States is no longer a neutral nation. We have actively participated in the war on the side of England by concrete aid and declaration of pro-ally sympathies

Ru-mor has it tha t Louise Becker and Doug MacGregor should have re-solved to see each o ther only 17 hours a day instead of the t rad i -tional 17 point 10 — There a re two gals, both brunet tes , five foot six-ind-a-hal f , about one hundred and thir ty pounds each, one a Senior and the other a Sophomore who /ery conscientiously resolved to walk the s t ra ight -and-nar row and not fall by the wayside again and to a lways be good girls, — but be-:ause of page 17 in the Hope Bul-letin you'll have to follow the clue-s tr ing f rom there and see them personally to see if they are con-tr ibuting to the clamor around — Dorothy Wendt made a truly cour-igeous resolution and since then has never been seen in the halls of Voorhees a f t e r 10:30 unless she is fully and adequately garbed in 'ong-sleeved, l o n g - l e g g e d , not-

Great Bri ta in . Only a negligible amoun t has been repaid by England in the past twenty years . This pi t tance payment

Jjournalism Class! Why Not? Sa tu rday morning when the headl iners and copyists of the

Anchor staff begin to read the news art icles, t hey find them-

selves overwhelmed with copy which lacks necessary informa-tion and which is poorly wri t ten . The news repor te r s of the

staff neglect to get the full s tory, fail to ge t the official news and then do not know how to properly wri te the s tory. The

ar t ic les a re turned in late Sa tu rday when the deadline has

been set for F r iday af te rnoon. In order to produce a newspaper favorable to the campus

it is necessary to have journa l i s t s on the s taff . Many of those

who have the ability never come out fo r the s taff . Many ol those who desire to write have had no experience and do not know how to write, but do not have the oppor tun i ty to learr

o ther t h a n f r o m the Anchor ar t ic les t h a t they write.

The best method to make journa l i s t s is to have a class ir journal ism where ins t ruct ion can be given. Members of the Anchor staff who have had considerable experience could

criticize ar t ic les handed in and sugges t ions could be given to all new repor ters . Also a member of the facu l ty who has had some experience could devote a li t t le t ime on F r iday a f t -

ernoon to come and teach some o the r points t h a t staff mem-bers m igh t not be acquainted wi th .

W h y not have a journal i sm class t h e Fr iday preceding

S'l " y f »• • ^ y'H' M • "When it rains, it pours"—that

seems to be the s i tuat ion in regard to music for the next few days. Unless you've got a lot of t ime and money, you might have to miss | one or two of three spfendid con-certs which will t ake place in Grand Rapids this week and the beginning of the next.

If you drive up to the Civic Audi-torium in Grand Rapids tonight you can find out the answer to the popular song that seems to be puzzling everybody. And you will find out that a concert by Yehudi Menuhin is well worth your t ime and money. Menuhin. you know, was a child prodigy, and many people doubted whether he would ever rank among the great when he grew up. But all the critics agree that as an adult per former he ranks easily among the world's best violinists.

Since Thor Johnson has directed the Grand Rapids Symphony, the monthly concerts have been a r a re treat . This Friday, Mischa Mischa-kofT, violinist, will appear with the orchestra, p l a y i n g the seldom-heard Concerto in D Minor by

Bruch. Of unusual interest on the program is the orchestral suite, "Lieutenant Kije," by the Russian composer ProkofiefT. The orchestra will also play Mr. Johnson 's own

a r r a n g e m e n t of the Debussy classic, "La Fille aux Cheveux de

Lin," ( t ransla t ion, "The Girl with the Flaxen Hair ," not "The Girl with the Greasy Hair , " as we once heard it unpoetically t ransla ted. )

Next Monday br ings us a concert

by the St . O l a f s Choir, also at the Grand Rapids Civic Auditorium. Dr. Melius Christ iansen, the direc-

back wear ing a dar l ing Chr i s tmas present on her f o u r t h finger le f t

hand — need we mention t ha t Don Bosch played the p a r t of the long, white-bearded gent in t ha t case ?— And Mae Clonan decided t ha t home-college t a l e n t w a s good enough f o r her and she proudly displays an Emersonian pin fo r all to see and Stan Slingerland was the hang-man in t ha t s laying — (noose-less but not hope-less) . . . Wha t impor tan t problem needs such constant consideration in the small-committee-date-room over at the gir l ' s Dorm — it 's about t ime someone in tha t g a n g of i l lustrious Seniors, t ha t may be seen overflow-ing the chairs and couches each and every night , paid the ren t on tha t room — by the way have Barend VanderWoude and Nelvie Vander Bilt taken care of their rent-due bill fo r the small card room in those same hallowed halls yet — they say he's br inging his t runk next week — Marge Fr iesma cer-tainly carr ied the destinies of loads of "we- the-s tudents" in her little fingers last week when she was in-nocently playing the practice organ in Graves and hit the wrong note and all the lights in the l ibrary went out — Ah, the power of music — She even had "Olive Oyl" flus-

tered — Imagine.

Wha t a bolt of l ightning struck Grand Rapids on New Year ' s Eve when about seventy Hope College S tudents chose to j i t t e r and swing and sway a bit — Poor G. R. be-cause it took it on the chin ear l ier in the week too when one of our i l lustrious professors, no names mentioned, but who teaches liter-a tu re and g rammar , is an A.B. and A.M., lives in Central Park , has a swell wife and isn' t bad himself , came Chr is tmas shopping in t ha t al l-suffering city and told people he happened to see here and there to "send it out to Central Pa rk , Holland, Michigan" — r igh t off the press, m o d e r n , and a u t h e n t i c

qXr bwh . ^ 9 ° * * eesite is Introducing a Phizz-

ling New-"cast le ," I mean " tass le" to decorate your hair-do with when showering it, (not swinging i t ) — it 's a cross between a deep-sea

diver 's helmet and those th ings they w r a p around the heads of the electric-chair f r y i n g meat . . . Well, be sure you keep on en te r ing in 1941 with a bang and don't you take any chances on missing your box-seat in Chapel, which is open for business any t ime a f t e r 8:05 any week-day morning.

S O C I A L L I F E L I N E S SOROSIS

The Sorosis meeting of last Fr i-day evening revolved in the form of a newspaper. Sorosite Ruth Wil-liams, who edits the column on re-ligion, wrote the devotions. On the next page, the theatre activities were represented in critic Marion Tysee's r e v i e w of the current Broadway hit, "Life With Father ." Betty Daugherty satisfied loters of fine music with an excellent per-formance a t the musical keyboard. The c o m i c pages, hilarious and clever, were sketched by Jean Wish-mier. Critic Jeanne Horton com-mended Marion Tysee on her fine selection of numbers for the eve-ning's entertainment.

EMERSONIAN President Harold Colenbrander

opened the first meeting of Emer-sonian for the new year. Follow-ing a song service led by Blaise Levai and dedicated to Stanley Slingerland, Albert Shiphorst sang "Love Sends a Little Gift of Roses," which was also dedicated to Mr. Slingerland who had announced his engagement to Mae Clonan.

The business meeting was open-ed by Pres. Colenbrander and a f t e r finishing all old business, the newly elected officers of the year were installed. The newly installed pres-ident, Stanley Slingerland, gave his inauguration address, a f t e r which the meeting was adjourned for officers' t reat .

FRATERNAL

Senior Robert Vegtor opened the first Fraternal Society meeting of 1941 with prayer, Friday evening, Jan. 10. The highlight of the meet-ing was Fra ter Eddie Dibble's com-bined exaugural and "Philosophy of Life."

Les Watkins was in charge of the special music and procured for the f ra terni ty Marjorie Brouwer, freshman, who sang "Rose Marie," and several other selections. Alvin Schutmaat accompanied her at the piano.

The humor number was pre-sented by Ed De Pree, who read some letters he had "found." Mas-ter Critic for the evening was Douglas MacGregor. A short busi-ness meeting followed af te r which the f ra terni ty was entertained in the form of an "officers' t rea t" at the Holland Theater.

DORIAN The D o r i a n s were taken to

"Dreamland the evening of Jan-uary 10 by Anna Ruth Naberhuis, who was chairman of the program, "Meet Me in Dreamland." The de-votions, "A Famous Dream," were led by Mary E. Van Dyk.

After a talk by Anna Naberhuis on "Dream Inter-pretations" the girls were brought back into the world of "Reali ty" by the serving of refreshments.

K N I C K E R B O C K E R

The Knickerbocker society omit-ted their regular literary meeting of Friday, Jan. 10. The business meeting, however, consisted mainly of the discussion on the plans for the winter party.

COSMOPOLITAN Charles Landon opened the reg-

ular meeting of the Cosmopolitan society of Jan. 10 with a song serv-ice. The humor of the evening was rendered by Harland Steele. The new president. Si Voogt, read his inaugural as the serious paper for the evening. Robert Whelan was appointed master critic. A short business meeting followed.

Appropriate music by Doris Van Hoven with Alumna Angie Dornbos accompany-ing, added to the wintry atmos-phere and selections from "Snow-bound," by the poet, John Green-leaf Whittier, were Edith Klaaren's contribution. "S'no Fun," an orig-inal skit with Sibyllines Dykema and Davis in the cast, provided plenty of h u m o r . Bertha Vis' senior paper changed thoughts into a more serious vein. For the last number of the evening Mae Clonan and Eloise Boynton announced their engagements and then the girls were all invited to share in a beau-tifully prepared surprise treat .

Officers elected at the last meet-ing before vacation are; Edith Rameau, president; Helen Leslie, vice president; Morrell Weber, sec-retary, and Edith Klaaren, treas-urer.

Lucille Kooyers provided a piano solo as special music under t h e title of "Footlights," and then read a serious paper entitled "Dawn."

Af ter the program, lime candy Sticks were the "Lime Light" for all the girls.

o DELPHI

After the regular business meet-ing Friday night, miniature term papers w e r e distributed which announced Delta Phi's program for the evening. On the first page ap-peared the title "Termites" or "The W o r m Terms," following which was the thesis "The majority of students writing term papers are all at sea." The Preface included research work by Pledge McCann. The Introduction was a musical prelude — Jean Ruiter doing the reference work. The Body of the paper was a short story—required reading by Nola Nies. Conclusion: from gales on the high "C's" to gals on the high "G's" (the Delta Phi songs), followed by Foodt-notes.

Dutch Take Olivet to Make 16 Straight Wins

Coach Bud Hinga's cagers stret-

ched their win streak to 16 here

Tuesday nipht by hanpinp: one on

coach Wally Sprandel's Olivet

Comets, 51-28.

Hampered by illness, tne Dutch

started out slowly, and the Cometi

led for most of the first half. Capt.

Shorty Boeschenatein, who played

outstanding bell for the visitors,

dropped the first goal for the visitors and a pair of foul tallies by Bob

Madole gave the visitors a four-

point advantage.

After five minutes had gone by

in the game capt. Bob Montgomery

dropped the first tally for the

Dutch. Midway in the first period,

the Comets led, 14-9, but as the

half waned, the Dutch tied the

score, and the counting alternated

as the teams went into the period

deadlocked at ID-all. A.̂ the se-

cond stanza opened, the Dutch con-

sistently scored 2-1 against the vi-

sitors, and late in the game Hinga

substituted an entire team, which

maintained the pace.

Gil Van Wieren was high for the

Dutch with 14. followed closely by

Etz Kleinjans with 11 and captain

Bob Montgomery and Ken Vanden-

berg with 10 apiece. Capt Shorty

Boeschenstein was high for the Comets with 12. The Dutch tallied

on three in 13 tries at the foul line, while the comets counted on eight in 14 opportunities. Each team committed 12 fouls.

CAPTAIN At Hope and Away • •• . . . B y Eddie Dibble

Biggeet thing in the line of local news is the presence of Tom Harmon at the meeting of the Hope Church Men's Club tonight. Harmon will speak briefly, while Wally Weber, Michigan assistant coach will deliver the bulk of the speaking. Your correspondent will cover this story as a waiter, but is lucky at that, as he will be able to view Michigan's immortal from close quarters. It is not every-day that the nation's greatest footballer comes to Holland.

Monday night, our Friday's competitors, the lads from Albion took a walloping from Alma 56-20. This, as the score would indicate, means tha t the Scots are not going stale, suffering f rom the d r a f t or any other malady. At the same time, it must not be overlooked that Olivet too downed Albion. At the time of this writing, the Hope-Olivet score is still unmade, but we await it as one more statistic with which to measure the Hingamen against the Scots.

The broadcast of the Western game was what editor Bertsch refers to as a "ring-tailed screamer". In the last quarter, with Western threatening every fourteen seconds and victory still minutes away, the radio of the Van Erden family bowed to the strain. Smoke poured out, but with none t» watch. All the famil> was making tracks for a small set upstairs. This, to our mind, justifies Bertsch's

description. We figure Hope as one of the nations outstanding teams, on

paper. This is how such figuring goes. Hope beat Western, Western took Chicago, Chicago beat Princeton, Princeton nosed out Michigan, Michigan beat Michigan State, and State beat Long Island University. L. I. U. is om? of the nations best teams.

Last nights win was t.he sixteenth consecutive for the Dutch. This is in itself an impressive statistic, and with it we put the issue aside. To all our readers and to a certain in San Francisco "Wait till Wednesday".

On January 7, the Dutchmen up-set simultaneously the dope of the experts and the cage five of West-ern State Teachers of Kalamazoo. Playing away on the large Western floor, the Hopemen won 48-45.

Hope got away to a 9-1 lead, putting the pressure on the oppo-nents, and with the exception of a few minutes, held the lead through-out the rest of the game. Buck Reade's quint was favored over Bud Hinga's five, having pushed over Chicago and U.C.1..A. in early sea-son games, but the Hope five could not be licked. Hope led at half-time. 28-2(1.

up on the edges of their chairs and the Western Staters baffled.

Maddocks, center, Eisner, for-ward, and Kahler, guard led the fight for Western scoring 10, 11, and 9 points respectively. Jarred by the rapidity with which the Dutch jumped into an 8 point lead and discouraged by their refusal to wilt in the few minutes that West-ern led. the prospective teachers became the least bit panicky and consequently less sure of their shots in the final half. Eisner was high man for the opposition.

In view of Western's undoubted strength, this game plainly marks the Dutch, still the only undefeated quint in Michigan, a definite con-tender for the championship they are so ably defending. It also gives the grandstand coaches justifica-tion for their opinions that the Hope cage teams that Coach Hinga has mentored would not be hope-lessly o u t c l a s s e d in anybody's league.

Second Half Rally Of Lancers Has Hingamen Hustling

Counter-attacking over a second half rally, the Hope court five beat the Lancers of Grand Rapids Uni-versity 31-28 Jan. 7 in the first meeting of these schools.

Hope took an immediate 19-5 lead and led halfway, 25-18. The contrast between the immediate lead and the balftime score was due to the substitution of a new team midway through the first half. With the new material, the Lancers had much better luck and began a scor-ing spree that had the Hopemen wondering what would come next.

For G. R. U., George Bradfield was high and Edson was second with 11 and 10 points respectively. For Hope, Long John Vissers had 12 points, Kleinjans 10, Vanden-Berg 9 and Montgomery 8, divid-ing the scoring evenly.

This game, played during the Christmas vacation of the college, was nevertheless attended by a large number of fans. It has been reviewed here, not as hot news, but as a matter of record.

Dales Bow to Superior Strength and Speed; Final Score, 62-32

In a fast fighting style, the Hingamen cut down Dwight Har-wood's Dales last January 9 with a 62-32 score. The game, one of high interest for the spectators was played on the Dutch home floor.

Starters were Gil Van Wieren and Ken VandenBerg at forward, John Visser at center and captain Bob Montgomery with Etz Klein-jans at guard. The Dutch jumped into immediate advantage, leading 20-30 at h a l f t i m e . The Dale strength was most evident in the first period, bringing them within one point of the Hopemen. but this was only a spur to the Dutch who went on from there dumping in buckets from all angles.

A capacity crowd watched the tilt, all wondering whether or not the Hingamen could maintain the terrific pace with which they have

VanderLinde, Trimble Grimes Back to Lead Offense for Britons

Vets upon whom Coach Sprankle will be depending are Vander-Linde, his six foot, five inch, two hundred pound center, Trimble, ace dash man and footballer a t for-ward, and Grimes, co-captain with VanderLinde, at guard. Grimes played two years a t Flint Junior College before coming to Albion, and has had one year a t Albion.

The Britons suffered one unex-pected setback in their schedule this year, dropping a game to Olivet. While this did not make any difference in their (Albion's) stand-ing in the league, it was neverthe-less an eye opener to all interested. In fairness to Albion, it must be said that fortune was rinding with Adrian in two shifts.

Expected to cop the crown last year, the Britons finished in third place behind Alma. Enough of the team of last year remains, how-ever, to make them a hazard to any team aiming at the title.

In view of the invincibility of the Hopemen of late, only a timid soul would hesitate to rank them above the Britons, but the books are always lying open in the court sport, ready for new and unex-pected things.

started the season. While not at their peak, the Dutch gave plenty of evidence that the defeat of Western State was accomplished by hard play.

Long John Visser again turned in a game to gladden any coach's heart, and one tha t showed what great improvement he has made over last year. This element of im-provement is naturally behind the success of the team as a whole. Ken Vandenberg has advanced steadily at forward, and Etz Kleinjans, playing his first year with the varsity has outstripped all expecta-tions. In this game, he held Ek-lund, a veteran, to 11 points.

Van Wieren High Man High point man was Gil Van

Wieren who is fas t becoming one of the league's best forwards. Time and again, when the ball was loose beneath the Hope basket, Gil's abil-ity to tap it through meant that difference that so often separates the champion f rom the also-rans.

For the Dales, Eklund, Larson and Touhy carried the largest share of the responsibility. Eklund was hi-scorer with 11 points. The Dales sank 5 of 17 foul shots against 2 out of 4 for the Hopemen.
