Class and Spirit Make All-College

Mixer Success Contest, Frosh Humor,

and Games Provide Entertainment

>1

Class spirit , r ivalry, and general

exuberance prevailed at the annual

all college Mixer, sponsored by the

Student Council, last Thursday

night at C a r n e g i e gymnasium,

which celebrated the occasion of

the frosh donning their green.

Bill De Groot, Student Council

president, and Thelma Kooiker,

A.D.D. president, adorned Bill Tap-

pan, f rosh president, and Beth

^Marcus, f rosh Student Council rep-

resentative, respectively, in the t ra-

ditional manner amidst much boo-

ing and cheering of the spectators.

The fine success of the Mixer

may be directly attr ibuted to the

combined efforts of Ruth Van Pop-

ering, general chairman of the

affair, Don Kramer and his "Cam-pus Cats," Dean Dykstra, mas te r of ceremonies, and Bob Bonthius, who was the surprise hit of the evening when he rendered "Small F r y " in the swing manner which college students love.

President Speaks

President W i c h e r s took the opportunity to advise the f reshman class as to how to make the most of their college years. Loyalty, mutual confidence, democracy, good sportsmanship, and constructive ef-forts , were some of the qualities stressed as essential to success. Prexy counseled, "Make yourselves a part of the college as soon as possible and know all the people you can. Select your friends for personal worth ra ther than social background. Remember that the three graces. Good Sense, Sincer-ity, and Simplicity are the great factors in character building."

The e v e n i n g ' s entertainment opened with an informal autograph game which admirably served the purpose of get t ing acquainted. Norma Becksford and Bill Gannon emerged victorious from the con-test and were awarded a litle grey kitten and a tin horn for their

(fforts .

Classes Entertain

Don Kramer 's "Eleven Kittens with Their Horns" rendered "Now It Can Be Told" as the first num-ber on the program, with Jack Jalving, sophomore blonde tenor, vocalizing. The sophomore class then demonstrated their dramatic talents in an opus entitled "The

Fatal Quest."

Ken Pelgrim presented a treatise on the S t a t u s of College Life in behalf of the senior class. Jean lloekje wrote a hilarious sketch on "Our Freshmen," which introduced F r i t z Bertsh as "F la t Foot Hoogie," Gordon Pleune as the typ-ical country yokel. Ken Miller as Sally Vander Rand and Rose Ten-inga as the "Date Girl," and Ed-die Dibble as a trombone enthusiast .

Don Kramer furnished an unex-pected t reat when he played Fred Waring's theme song, "Sleep," and Duke Ellington's "Blue Prelude" on his new, beautiful sounding

vibraphone.

Frosh Give Skit

Not to be outdone, the f reshman class displayed their ability to en-tertain in an amusing play, "The Lamp Went Out." Great f u r o r en-sued when the tables were turned to reveal a large "42." Ken Van-denberg, f rosh pull captain, then made a touching speech to the sophomore pull captain. Bob Dyk-stra, and presented him with the necessary equipment to cross the Black River on foot. Dykstra, how-ever, stalked to the microphone and warned the frosh tha t the sophomores have just as much assurance of their success on Fri-day afternoon.

The evening closed with Bill De Groot, football captain, introducing the team to the college. Marty Bekken and J a y Witte led some rousing cheers f o r the team, and Jack Schouten made the evening complete with an informal talk about the team. The climax was the singing of the Hope song and par tak ing of refreshments.

Senior Practice Teachers Begin Observing Work

Undoubtedly you have noticed some of Hope's illustrious seniors scurrying hi ther and yon from the campus. For y o u r information, these are practice teachers, who, at present, are observing in their re-quired grade or subject and will be teaching within a few weeks.

The elementary teachers are as follows: Angeline Dornbos and Hes-ter Soeters at Longfellow school; Thelma Kooiker, Edith Smith, and Katherine Van Raalte at Washing-ton School; Alice Munroe, Beatrice Fairbanks, and Lydia De Vries at Van Raalte School; and Cornelius Hoezee at Lincoln School.

The secondary teachers are as follows: In the Junior High, Peter Stielstra, George Hyma, Jean Mac-Neil, Marjorie Vyverberg, John Wybenga, William Heeringa; in the Senior High, Jacoba Dalebout, Loraine Pomp, Margaret Berpen, Mildred Kirkwood, Margaret Allen, Jay v a n Hoven, John Justema, Margaret Laman, Orville Beattie, and Marinus Pott.

Benefits of Morning Chapel Explained To All Hope's Freshmen

This article is especially written for the newcomers on Hope's cam-pus, to explain our chapel customs. Of course, c h a p e l does s tar t promptly at eight o'clock every morning. The exercises are usually in charge of one professor. Every Tuesday chapel is led by officers of the Y.W.C.A. and Y.M.C.A. and special music is provided.

Quite often we are privileged to hear some prominent speaker who is available. The chapel choir plays a valuable part in leading the singing and in presenting special music. At the last chapel of the year, scholastic and athletic honors

are awarded.

UNEXPECTED SERENADE

RENDERED DORM GIRLS

The night ot the All-College Mixer turned out to be a big night, what with the sophomores sending the frosh down the fire escape, and then an impromptu serenade by the Fraternals . Loud fire-crackers drew the Voorheesites to all the couit windows, where they were enter-

Science Students To Hear Talk|By

Dr. John Hapler Announcement was made today

that Dr. John M. Hapler of Michi-gan Department of Health will ad-dress all students interested in science and health on Monday, Oc-tober 7 at 3:30 P. M. in Mr. Hil-mert 's room.

Bitter Enemies Meet Next Friday Over Black River for Annual Pull A tug-of-war, a fight to the

river, a struggle of the classes, a— in other words, the annual pull between the freshmen and the soph-omores, is just around the corner, and if one turns left on Thursday he'll come to the Black river on

Friday.

Two spirited classes renew the rivalry of the lower classmen on October 7 when they face each other across the cold waters of the river north of town. Here, late in the afternoon, the decision of the strongest , best-coached -team is made when one weary, blistered squad gets a cold bath by being dragged through the muddy waters to meet their conquerors across the

way.

Aiding the brawn of either class

will be the beauties who a t tempt to

see tha t their support is more than

moral, by dousing the perspiring t e a m s , with water and stuffing their mouths with lemon, sugar, and such energy-providing foods. Many a hear t is won by the care given during this t rying time —

freshmen take note.

Lining up as cheering sections

will be the division of the juniors on the frosh side and the seniors on the sophomore. The juniors, having once tasted of the river at the hands of the present seniors, and having passed the drinking cup on to the sophomores, are more than eager to have their younger brothers, the frosh, introduce a beaten sophomore class to them on the frosh side of the river. But the seniors, too, would be pleased to meet a dampened class of frosh on the soph side and give them the old line, "We told you so."

For the information of the

freshmen there is a reward for the

winning team—not a gold cup, but a privilege. If the freshmen win they are under no fu r the r obliga-tion to "pot" the upperclassmen, although1 they continue to wear their green. But if the sophomore class wins, its members have the r ight to command the f reshmen to "pot ," jus t as the juniors and sen-iors have the r ight to make such demands. So to the freshmen, beware the soph s t rength or you'll be-wearing to the green and pot-t ing your natural enemies.

At the annual meeting of the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League held on the campus of Michigan State college last Friday, the faculty and student represent-atives from the various colleges and u n i v e r s i t i e s of Michigan arranged a complete schedule of forensic activities for the coming year.

First, in order of priority, will come the extempore speaking con-test on November 22. At this con-test, which will be held at Western State Teachers college, the men must speak on subjects related to "The Economic and Political Iso-lation of the United States," or "National Minorities."

The women may choose to speak on either "Socialized Medicine" or "The United States and the Euro-pean Situation." A local contest will be held on our campus in the very near fu ture to determine Hope's representatives to the state contest.

Debate Question Chosen

The question selected for both men and women to debate this year is: "Resolved, that the United States should cease to use public funds, including credit, for the pur-pose of st imulating business." All the men and women interested in debate will be called out very soon to prepare for a full year of debat-ing. The state tournament for men will be held at Michigan State college on February 10 and the women's tournament will be con-ducted at Western State Teachers college on February 17. Many other intercollegiate debates are also being scheduled.

The oratorical contest will be held at Calvin college on March 3 this year. The orator selected last year, Dean Dykstra, will represent Hope at that contest. The peace contest will occur on April 14 at Central States Teachers college.

All those interested in interpre-tative reading must be prepared to read two selections within a five-minute time limit this year. The interpretive reading contest will be conducted at Kalamazoo college on May 5.

Round-table Groups An innovation which will prob-

ably become very popular in speech work will be introduced this year in the form of round-table discus-sion groups. Representatives f rom various colleges will gather in groups and discuss in a conciliatory rather than an argumentative man-ner various national and interna-tional problems.

This schedule will provide a full year f o r all those interested in forensic activity. Hope college has always been active in forensics and has won many honors in the inter-collegiate activity. An opportunity to participate in forensic work is given all students who care to develop their speaking ability.

Those representing Hope a t the Michigan Intercollegiate Speech League Friday included Dr. Holland Shackson, Don Van Liere, Orville

Tappan Heads Frosh; Shuptrine, McGregor

Are Other Officers ; The f reshman class held an Important meeting last Thursday for the purpose of electing several of their number to be leaders of the class of '42 and of campus life for the school year. ; Bill Tappan, of Holland, is to lead his class as president. Jean Shuptrine, also of Holland, was elected to the duties of- secretary-treasurer . The class chose Bob Mc-Gregor to fill the position of vice-president. Beth Marcus, of Hol-land, and Blase Levai, of Passaic, New Jersey, have taken up their duties of student council represent-atives for their class. Ken Vanden-burg will captain the f reshman fellows in the annual pull across Black River.

SENIOR CLASS OFFICERS Heading the senior class this

year as its president is Bob Wish-meier. Ollie Lampen assists him in the capacity of vice-president. As secretary the class chose James Hallan, and Harold Leestma will serve as t reasurer .

JUNIOR CLASS OFFICERS At a recent meeting the junior

class chose members of their group for the leadership of the class dur-ing this year. Dean Dykstra was elected president. The combined duties of secretary and t reasurer fell to the lot of Martha Morgan. Ruth Van Popering is to be vice-president. SOPHOMORE CLASS OFFICERS

Fifty Students Plan To Form German Club

Fif ty prospective members of a German club to be formed under the name "Der Deutsche Verein" are looking forward to the German singing, games, and enter tainments which are to be par t of the club's program for the year. Under the direction of Miss Boyd and the ad-vanced German classes, plans for its complete organization are being carefully made. All those who have completed one year of college Ger-man or its equivalent are eligible for membership.

Women Participate In W.A.A. Breakfast Hike Held Saturday Morning

The athletically-minded women of the college left Voorhees Hall on Saturday morning, bright and early, for a breakfast hike. It was spon-sored by the W.A.A. under the leadership of Catherine Marcley.

The four-mile furnished the scene for the activities and the breakfast which the girls cooked over a camp-fire was delicious and plentiful. More activities of this kind are planned for the fu ture , and it is hoped tha t an increasing num-ber will participate.

Band Receives Praise

At the second football game of the season the Hope college band proved to be one of the highlights of the evening. With their excel-lent music, their formations, and their splendid uniforms, all Hope-ites were extremely proud of them.

This year, according to one of its members, the band has approxi-mately doubled in size with a total enrollment of fo r ty members.

Plans are also being made by which our band may travel to Kal-amazoo for the Hope-Kalamazoo game.

The one aim of all its members is to make "Hope band, a better band," said Cornie Steketee, direc-tor.

The Women's Athletic Associa-tion will in the near fu tu re give a Roller Skating Party. A city block will be roped off and i t will be an all-college affair. The date wil be scheduled when Jack Schou-ten makes the final arrangements .

Hine, Mildred Mulder and Theodora Meulendyke. This league is com-posed of the various colleges and umversities of Michigan.

Because of crowded l ibrary con-ditions resulting f rom the success-ful book drive of last spring the Anchor was forced to move its quarters f rom the basement of Van Raalte Hall to a room in the Education building.

Thir ty-three candidates for posi-tions on the staff turned out a t the first meeting of the year. In order to cut the staff down to a number of good writers. Rose Teninga, edi-tor, plans to conduct a series of Anchor classes on al ternat ing Sat-urday mornings. One of these classes will include a t r ip through the pr int ing plant in order to acquaint the staff with the condi-tions under which the Anchor goes to press.

A t the end of this aeries of lec-tures all candidates will take a t e s t and those receiving the high-es t ra t ing will be plaoed on the s taff .

" In this way, i t is hoped/ ' stated Bliss Teninga, " t h a t the Anchor will be able to give you a bet ter college paper t han preceding yeprs and still keep our expenses down so t h a t we will not upset oa r b u d g e t "

Hope College Anchor

So You Pledged In another section of today's

paper appear the choices of f r a t e r -

nity made by you, the new men of

Hope's student body. The selec-

tion you have made is an impor tant

one in your collegiate l i fe; for

your f ra te rn i ty will be ei ther an

enriching experience or a restr ict-ing one; either an ever-broadening avenue to grea te r enjoyment of your four years here or an ever-narrowing road towards the dissi-pation of this valuable college expe-rience. Of course you desire your new-found brotherhood to make life ful ler for you; yet it is up to you, individually, to desire which par t your chosen f r a t e rn i ty is to play.

A f ra te rn i ty , by definition, is "a body of men associated fo r their common pleasure"; in other words, a f r a t e rn i ty is an instrument , or means, of enjoying common inter-ests and f r iends; an avenue, so to speak, to a fu l ler college life. But all too often f ra te rn i ty ' s real mean-ing is lost as the "pledge," excit-edly enthusiastic over this new experience, invests his ALL in the society. In doing this he sells out his shares of Enriching Collegiate Experience. For the true perspec-tive is lost and the f r a t e rn i ty , per se, is viewed as the one and only END of interest , instead of one of the several MEANS of obtaining greater benefit f rom undergraduate life. Almost unrealizingly are buHt, upon this grave error , inter-ests and fr iendships circumscribed by the f r a t e rn i ty affiliation. And such a mistake is as ruinous as it it insidious. For all too often the error is not realized until a f t e r the four years are past and, in smug complaceny, the society zealot is graduated, not f rom a college, but f rom a f r a t e rn i ty : for he knows little but his own group. Yet he has missed the grea t opportunities to

gain a t ruly liberal education and

to make f r iends; the loss of these

leaves him with, not a rounded, but a sort of two-dimensional college-experience.

This editorial is addressed to

you, the new f r a t e r n i t y men, with

the one desire of s t imulat ing you

to an evaluation of your f ra te rn i ty

in terms of its relative place in your college life. As has been inti-mated, the f r a t e r n i t y is one of the subordinate par t s of the institution, and its function is tha t of "an avenue" to fu l ler undergraduate living. But there are other "ave-nues," also, for you to t ravel : those of religious participation, athletic endeavor, forensic activity, musi-cal essaying, and other roads. All have contributions to make to you, as a growing personali ty. Is it not wise, yea essential, tha t you make good use of several of them; for your u l t imate growth is dependent upon a three-dimensional develop-ment : intellectual, social, and spir-itual. Assume the t rue perspective of your f r a t e rn i ty ' s position: one avenue of development.

F ra t e rn i ty fr iendships are a sub-ordinate par t of the campus broth-erhood. The f r a t e r n i t y man who lives up to his t i t le is tolerant and friendly towards all. Is it not wise to make f r iends both in and out of the society? To restrict your fr iendships in any way is to dwarf your collegiate experience.

The selection you have made is, indeed, an impor tant one; and, like every grea t decision, it brings in new problems to solve. What part will your f r a t e rn i ty play in your life he re? Will it benefit you or hamper you? Think on these things. And may the outcome of your thought lead to the construc-tion of a g rea te r personality.

— R. H. B,

campus have been inquir ing

Dear Edi tor : L a s t F r iday night I was com-

pletely disgusted in the g a m e aga ins t Albion. The t e a m belongs to the school, not to the coach. Th ings might have been different if t h e s tudents would have had more school spiri t , t he team might have won. I t is true, the yells a re not of the best, but a t least God gave us a mouth to yell with.

The high school I a t tended had 100 girls as a cheering section, a g i r l s ' drum and bugle corps and a band. When a player came on the field he knew he was p laying fo r the couple thousand s tudents and not fo r his f u n or not only the coach. The crowd yells to let him know this. How can a player play his best when nobody is pulling or cheering fo r h im?

Another thing, everybody can ' t f o rge t that so and so belongs to this or that f r a t e r n i t y ; the re fore he receives no backing f rom the s tudents who are not in favor of his f r a t .

I recommend that everybody co-operate and ge t some new yells and take the old ones and print them and give each student a copy so he can really show he or she is a t rue blooded Hopeite.

know why the freshman girls don't have "big brothers," instead of "big s is ters ."

Two-heads are better than one

—specially when you're tossing a

coin!

The Engl ish depar tment raved

about the a w f u l s l ang of the mod-

e m generat ion, but we jus t laughed

and laughed and laughed, because

we knew tha t El izabeth Bar re t t Browning wrote a poem called ' T h e Dead Pan ." REVISING THE POPULAR SONGS:

1. For the movie fan—"I'll be Don Ameche in a taxi, honey."

2. For the tired father—"Come to me, my yellow colic baby."

3. For the fisherman with the one that DIDN'T get away— "Small Fry."

"Yes," shouted the Voorhees sen-ior above the rhythmic blare of the radio and the cha t te r of the eight visitors in her room, "I 'm s tay ing in tonight to get some real s tudy-ing done—careful , don't sit on the potato chips. And," she added vir-tuously, " I 've really decided to get some decent m a r k s this year . Oh, excuse me a minu te ; I've got to go and talk to my honey. I promised to call him up every fifteen min-utes tonight . . ."

Revise your vocabulary with these:

POINTSETTIA—A hunting dog. PUNT—Something essential, as

in "I don't see the punt."

POISE—Something in which to put money.

YAWL—Southeryi form of the second person pronoun.

CONVEY—Desiring permission, such as, "Convey have late per to-night, Miss Litchty?"

Shakespeare had a word, or words for everything. Even col-yums. In T W E L F T H NIGHT he said, "Bet ter a wit ty fool than a foolish wit."

The s t r a ins of "September in the Rain ," sung by Nelvie Vanderbilt , were heard f rom the shade of a weeping wil-low tree. While enormous red apples were being munched, the wind in the old moaning pine made a spooky background for the ghost s tory told in the candlelight by Ruth DeYoung.

On Wednesday night the Ale-theans met in their room, which has recently been cleaned and re-a r ranged , for an impor tant business meet ing. Reports were made by the representat ives to the various organizat ions and a general outline of the coming activities was given.

with a number of rousing and peppy songs.

DELPHI

Las t Wednesday evening Delphi roses, rosy-cheeked f rom a summer

of recreation, met in a rose arbor wear ing rose-colored glasses, to be

spec ta tors to a p rogram entit led

"The One Rose," under the direc-tion of vice-president Lois Voor-horst . The soil was cult ivated by

Delphian Van Raal te , who read the parable of the Sower. Sunshine was added by Delphian Boven in a

)€autifully rendered piano selec-tion. Delphian Marcley f roze the

Rosebuds with a humorous paper which was very much all wet. Del-

phian Voorhorst impressively read

the creed and explained its t rue significance. "Remember Rose" was

the ti t le applied to a musical skit

enacted by Delphians Morgan and hot ter . Delphian Pot te r s a n g a clever parody of "Remember Me."

n conclusion the "Las t Rose of

Summer" was brought once again

rom the rose bowl as several Del-phians reviewed experiences of the past summer.

The previous week Delphians had unofficially opened their social sea-

son with a s lumber (more or less) pa r ty at the Boven cottages. Since

they succeeded in ar r iv ing a t con-vocation on t ime and in good order,

they feel prepared to s ta r t another big year, full of fun , f r iendships ,

and f requent s tudying (of course) .

COSMOPOLITAN SOCIETY Monday evening, with rushing

activities in ful l swing, a fine pro-g r a m was enjoyed a t the Cosmo-politan House. Gord Vanden Brink

s ang several numbers ; Cliff Marcus

provided some of his super-subtle wit, and Bill Jacobs read an admir-able and informat ive serious paper on William Randolph Hears t . Re-f re shment s and an informal ga th-er ing climaxed a most enjoyable evening.

On Wednesday evening, members of the f r e shman class were again the guests of Cosmos. Harold Leestma, motivated by the critical si tuation caused by the Czech-Ger-

man crisis, reviewed United S ta tes policies dur ing the last World War in a paper entitled "Woodrow Wil-son and His Ideals." J im Adams and Bob Vander Laan, as loony a pa i r of buck pr iva tes as ever went on parade, with Mai Baron as ser-geant , farced through a wa r scene

in which the enemy was finally put out of action witK a f ew lusty pumps of a flit gun. Cye Voogd,

accompanied on the piano by Cliff Keizer, slid the doors shut on the p rogram with a trombone solo. Re-f reshments and bull sessions occu-pied the remainder of the n ight .

On Friday night , despite the Albion victory over Hope, a hungry

and spirited crowd milled through the Cosmo house, empty ing the cider jug and the cake tins.

At intervals throughout the week, informal meet ings were held, fea-

tu r ing tha t incomparable flre-eater, Bob Vander Laan, arsonis t ex t ra -special, who nearly singed his vocal cords, and may soon be hav ing a fire sale.

The rushing season is over, but regardless of f r a t e rn i t y connec-tions, many new f r iendships have been formed, and many good t imes enjoyed.

of Gridiron Year

Ccttch Jack Schouten's 1938 ed-

wilf .make its bow to the s tudents

and gridiron f ans of Holland to-

night. The coming-out par ty is

scheduled for 8 p. m. a t Riverview

Tap-k under the lights.

For the last two weeks, Coach

Schouten has been whipping his

squad into shape with favorable re-

sults. Backfield mater ia l has been

plentiful, and the squad is the larg-

est to report in the history of the school The frosh will exhibit a fas t chaiging line of average

weight. The lack of reserve strength is

the only cloud evident on the sky for tomorrow night 's game, for re-ports are tha t the new Alma f rosh coach, Hank Lowe, formerly of St. Joe high, has a squad of sixty boys working under him. Out of the aKgregation, he oup:ht to be able to pick a team with plenty of s t rength, an have reserves in abun-

dance. As the teams meet tonight, Hope

will put on display a promising quar te t of backs. Bud Morgan, Herkimer, N. Y. boy, will be a t the quarterback post. Most f requent ly he will call the signal of Loren Brinmnger, former Allegan high boy, to run. pass or punt. Brin-ninper with Ted Cimock, Jackson high school s tar , will be at the halfback posts tonight. Bob Brown of Ionia has shown the driving power needed at the position to carry the vote for the job.

Ray Meyers, Grand Rapids; Bud Ferris , Shelby; and Ed De Free, Holland, are boys who will get into the contest for plenty of backfield

action. Tonight 's s ta r t ing lineup will

probably see A1 Borr, Zeeland, and Tom Slager, Muskegon, at the ends. Dick Hanson, Alma t rans-fer , and Ward Toner r Shelby, will be at the tackles. Bill Hakken, former Grand Rapids all-cit(y choice, and Bill Gannon of Fre-mont, will be a t the guards, flank-ing Bill Tappan of Holland at cen-

ter. Linemen sure of action are Roy

Alder, Gil Van Wieren. Less Wal-lace, Gerald Gilmore, Perry Dfng-man, J immy White, Bill Van Oss and Elmer Brandt.

SPORTING JOTS By Boh Wishmeier _ _ _

The football season is well under

way, and Hope college has a .500

recond. The Dutch opened wi th a

housing 20-0 t r iumph over Fe r r i s

Inst i tute of Big Rapids Sept. 23,

and last F r iday night lost in t h e

opener of the Michigan Intercol-

legiate schedule to Albion, 3-0.

In both games, Hope showed

power enough to th rea ten any t eam

in the conference this year.

In the opener, Hope opened the

contest by let t ing the Ferr i s boys

str ike for a pair of first downs,

but a moment la ter t h e white-

shirteo 1ads took the ball, and used

jus t three plays to score the first

touchdown. Brannock made the

last lap on a 28-yard cut-back. The

goal was missed.

Brannock set the s tage fo r a

second-period touchdown with a

45-yard jaunt down the sidelines to

the Ferris 16-yard line. A f t e r a

first down, Marcus passed to Bran-

nock over the goal for the score.

Once more the kick was bad.

For the third quar te r touchdown,

Hope recovered a Fer r i s fumble on the Fer r i s 10-yard line, and a f t e r two plays, Vander Laan plunged over the goal. The kick was low.

Coach Bud Hinga's crew seemed ready for another touchdown in the fourth qua r t e r when Vander Laan carried the ball to a first down on the four yard line. Fer r i s held fo r downs, however. As LeSeney a t -tempted to punt f rom behind his own goal, Ken Honholt raced in to tackle him for a sa fe ty , and two more points.

Scoring was not so easily accom-plished in the second game of the season—the opening game of the M.I.A.A. season, with Albion. In the first quar ter , an aggressive Al-bion club caught Hope flat-footed

So fa r , Albion defeated Hope, 3-0 in a closely fough t batt le, each team collecting eight first downs. In last Saturday 's tests , Kalama-zoo beat Adrian, 45-0, and Hills-dale set down Olivet, 32-7.

This w e e k , the conference swings into its second week Fri-day and Sa turday . Albion meets Alma at Alma Friday night. Kala-mazoo will face Olivet a t Kalam-zoo Fr iday night , and Hillsdale will tackle Adrian Saturday.

In the second quar ter , t eams played more evenly, and through-out the second half, Hope outplay-ed Albion. Twice Hope was within striking distance, but each t ime scoiing plans were blasted.

In the third quar ter , a s teady march to Albion's 18-yard line set the s tage for Marcus to pass over the goal line. Gies, Albion center, intercepted it, and stopped the drive.

Within ?. few minutes, Hope was

Sophomores, f reshmen and t ra -dition will aga in hold sway this year , in the f amed and fur ious pull across Black River . Rumor has it tha t the river is unusually high and cold, mak ing it a highly un-pleasant spot to linger in. Combin-ing this with a large amount of class spirit should produce a roar-ing fight to s t ay dry.

Las t year 's s t ruggle was a tummy-wrencher , lasting n e a r l y two hours, the frosh emerging de-feated and very democratic in appearance. It was a g rea t battle, however, and one that th is year ' s f rosh will find hard to duplicate, with the exception of the defeat .

In an effort to keep the pull within a reasonable time limit, the rules were somewhat changed, and several judges added to the execu-tive list. The event is intended to proceed as follows: A whistle sig-nal will warn the teams to prepare

Hope are meet ing in ano ther chap-te r of long s tanding gridiron rival-ry, and according to the best of in-dications the Battle of Bull Run wouldn't hold a candle to the scrap tha t ' s going to take place.

The teams are scheduled to meet under the l ights at Riverview Pa rk next Fr iday night a t 8 p. m. The contest will be Hope's last non-as-sociation a f fa i r this season.

Grand Rapids Junior , this year , boasts of one of the best teams in the school's history, and f ans here can bet t h a t nothing will go wrong with thei r a t tack on the local grid-iron. On the other hand, Hope feels capable of meeting some pre t ty tough competition, and the stub-born Dutchmen are expecting to s tage one of the best games of the season here Friday.

What has set the s tage fo r this outs tanding bit of r ivalry is a long series of Hope victories over the Grand Rapids outfit. Jun ior has not beaten Hope in footbal l since Coach Bud Hinga came here f rom Holland high school seven years ago. In any time before tha t , Jun-ior was able to count but three vic-tories.

This year Junior college feels capable. Coaches Mike Steele and Johnny Regezci have whipped a f a s t and heavy squad into good ear-ly season shape, and the eleven al-ready has counted a win over an M.I.A.A. aggregat ion by beat ing Olivet, 27-6, in the opening tussle.

In preparat ion f o r this outfit which outweighs them in every pos-ition, Hope last Monday got sever-al new plays, and went through an af ternoon of light signal practice. Tuesday the boys got in some rough work, and today the team will begin to taper off for the con-tes t .

Hope's lineup will find Captain Mill DeGroot at center with Bob Wishmeier and Bob Powers proba-bly ge t t ing the call as guards . Dent Norlin and Elmer Ridenour will play the tackles, and Ken Honholt and Cornie Pape will line up at the ends.

A shoulder injury, received in the Albion game, may keep Paul Boy-ink out of the game Fr iday night. A possible sh i f t in the backfield positions might move Bob Marcus to half, and put Ar t Kronemeyer in the ful lback post. Another move would put George Heneveld at half and leave Marcus a t full . Lee Brannock will play one half , and Bob Vander Laan will play quar te r back.

Hope is anxious tc- send the s t rong Junior outfit back to Grand Rapids on the short end of the score. Hope defeated Junior , 14-0 last year .

A bonfire and pep meet ing in Grand Rapids will p repare a crowd of more than 600 enthusiast ic Grand Rapids rooters fo r the con-test. They will all be in the stands when the teams trot onto the field here next Fr iday night .

Hope meets Junior in the last of the first series of home games. The Dutch t ravel to Adrian next week in the first daylight game of the season.
