HISTORY OF THE SIBYL
Decades and centuries ago when history was in its beginning there existed in obscure and remote corners of Asia Minor and Southern Europestrange, wizened, oldwomenwhoboasted powers of divine prophecy. Seated in some desolate cavern, wrapped in sacred vapors that issued forth from bottomless crevices they looked far into the future and forsawevents to which mortal eyes were blind. These women with prophetic power were known as Sibyls.
But ages have passed and with the swift rush of years times have changed. Ancient civilization has given way to Mediaeval, Mediaeval to Modern, and with each transition there has come more expansive education and knowledge. Just so the Sibyline powers have waxed greater, more potent and omniscient. Once gifted only with prophecy, now Sibyls have the matchless power to record faultlessly and impartially events which build history. The Sibyl is now a recorder of the past and a guide for the future. And so in this Sibyl, which you hold in your hand, you will discover not only hints of the future but also an accurate account of bygone events. Page Seven

Within the past year the Death Angel has invaded our ranks and severed the span of life for a beloved teacher and associate.
We, as mortal men, can never hope to understand the ways of Providence, but can only be comforted in the knowledge that all is accomplished for ultimate good.

He: Yes, but just think! we're going out to conquer the world.
She: It looks as if the world would be easier conqueredthanifwehadstartedinourverdant Freshmandays.
He: But wasn't it great to be a Freshman? Do you remember our push that year?
She: Do I? I was too scared to move. We had it over in the "Y" because it rained. Bill Vance was our president then and he acted as toast-master. We had toasts and wieners and buns.
He: I'll never forget our banquet that year-it seemed like the most elaborate social function ever pulledoff. J. R. Howewastoast-master, Iremember.
She: And that was the time the Sophomores stole our coats and we had such a time getting them back.
He: We were just ready to discipline those boys bya bathin the creekwhen a reverend member of our facultycamedown andinterceded forthem.
She: \Ve were such conceited little affairs that year. Let's see, where did we have our "Soph" push?
He: Outat the fairgrounds. Don't you remember? Manson Nichols was class president then.
She: Yes, until he left in the middle of the year,andthen BertJaynesfinisheduptheterm. Wasn't Lloyd Harmontoast-master atthe banquetthat year?
He: I believe so, and that was the time we changed our colors from Blue and White to Rose and Gray.
She: Well, there goes Walter Schutz. Didn't hemakeagoodpresidentlastyear? Wewentoutthis very road to Devil's Half-Acre to the Junior Push-I'll never forget that occasion.
He: The Class of'21 will go down in history for establi'shing the "every year Sibyl."
She: I rememberwell, for that was the first, last and only time I encountered the faculty en masse. Two of us went and presented the petition to them, and our eloquent pleading must have succeeded.
He: Phillippi and Schutz worked day and nighttoputthatthingacross. Itwasagoodold Sibyl, too.
She: And didn't we plot and plan behind those locked Sibyl doors to get the Seniors' goat when they wore their caps andgowns? We got it, too. Those chapel seats are still shaky where they were torn up that morning.
He: Robina in Search of a Husband-that's the one play I'll never forget because it was my first theatrical success.
She: And we surely 'had a great time that night we went to Minerva Park for our Sibyl push. There was a great big, red moon that nigM.
He: We marched aroundand each got back that dollar that we sank into the Sibyl propos1t1on.
She: Well here comes Lym Hert across the bridge. This is a regularsuccession of class presidents.
He: We went to Minerva Park for our Senior push, didn't we? That just duplicated last spring's good time.
She: Do you know, I believe that Otterbein has educated us to a certainextent.
He: Yes, I know I feel a lot more humble and less bombasticthan when I came.
She: Tomorrow we graduate. Isn't it a grand and awful thought?
Whyit's fiveminutes tillthebell rings. We rnust hurry to the dorm. Exit.

Esther has wonderful executive ability which she has used to good advantage during her student days in this institution. She is now president of the Cochran Hall Association and president and editor of the Quiz and Quill, a member of the Athletic Board, Girls' Glee Club and the Mandolin and Guitar Club. It will be no mean load she will relinquish at graduation and we believe she will make her presence felt in the affairs of the outside world.

DALEMARTIN PHILLIPPI
"Young in limbs, in judgment old."
Dayton, Ohio
You cannot always judge a man by the amount of noise he makes. Dale is a very quiet sort of a fellow and yet all appreciate his executive ability and his power to think anything through. Dale made an excellent football manager this last fall due in a large extent to his love for work. He has served on the "Y" Cabinet and has also gained some distinction as a public speaker. Dale easily took first prize among the Varsity "O" candidates this fall by his presentation or imitation of a chorus girl. Fair and earnest in all his dealings with his fellow students he has the good will of all and all wish him success.

Mildred is a busy girl yet she finds spare minutes for all who desire them. Cleiorhetea has placed her on the board of supervision of the Tan and Cardinal and she also exerts her influence for greater Otterbein in the Public Speaking Council. Active in the Y. W. C. A. Cabinet and the Girls' Leader Corps no one could make us believe Mildred dislikes work.

"He is never less at leisure, Than when at leisure."
We all like Walter and as the school year draws to a close we wish he would be back with us next year. As a manager he could make an "A" under Prof. "Louie." No one has heard of any Glee Clubber complaining about not having enough trips and at the same time Walter has been chaperoning our basketball squad. "Colonel" returned to us last year after sparing Uncle Sam a few months and was elected president of his class. Not satisfied to let him bear this burden alone, another was added and he came through on top of the managerial job of the 1920 Sibyl.

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1922
We, the Junior Class, took our beginning in that stormy year in the World's History-nineteen hundred and eighteen. Born in the military environment of Fort Otterbein, then requisitioned by the government and being used as a training camp for Uncle Sam's would-be officers. Under these circumstances the members of the class learned obedience to orders which is the first duty of a good soldier and a very praiseworthy trait in a student body. Even the �iris were made to feel the presence of the military. Many of the members of the class disappeared simultaneously with the mustering out of the post and the dismantling of the fort. However, some remained, and to their number new members, returning from the service of their country, have joined theclass, but it still remains small in numbers.
Nevertheless, in spite of it's diminutive size, the class prides itself in the active part it has played in the life of Otterbein. Always ready and willing to lend a helping hand, we the Class of '22 take pride in the rapid growth of our Alma Mater since the conclusion of the great world struggle. May our last year within her walls be fruitful and when we have been carried out on the wheels of time may our fame remain and future generations point with pride and say, "There was a Class."

HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1923
"This chance to speak in praise of Sophs Is a privilege seldom shown, But from the Preps to the hoary Profs Our fame is unquestionably known."
We're a rare aggregation-thisclass of twenty-three. It seems Fate has blessed uswith the best menof the school and the most charming girls. Has the Sophomore Classeverbeen known to sit with folded arms and watch, unmoved, the activities of Otterbein?
Just a short while ag-o we sat clothed in that cloak of "brass" and "loud boasting" so common to a class of ridiculous youths called Freshmen. But Dame Fortunehadhopesforusandac,cordinglytoday wehave aclass worthy of the respect of the entirestudent body,
With "Ed" Newell at the helm of our ship we have had a glorious year. The Scrap Day laurels were accorded the Sophomores. A merry whirl of social functions has characterized this class, the most notable events being a Camp Fire Push and a Valentine Party. We are now looking forward to the annual banquet, at which time we shall express our love and appreciation forthatclasswhichwillgofromusthisyear.
Loyal to Otterbein, loving fair play, appreciative of an education-that is the Classof '23.
"My tale is done-'tis poorly told, But one thingmore I see, How future years will shine as gold On the Class of Twenty-three.''

HISTORY OF THE CLASS 1924
Withthearrivalofautumntherewas waftedto Otterbein,onthepleasant September breezes, hosts and swarms of Freshmen. In their trunks and traveling bags they brought anenormous quantity of that ancient remedy for all diseases, the mighty "pep"which is so necessary for success in all things. The Juniors, according to custom set the wheels of the class machinery in motion by assisting in the election of officers. Thereafter the members assembledveryfrequently anddebateswaxedhotandfurious. Soontherecame the longed for and well heralded "Scrap Day." On the morning of that day the AthleticFieldwasalivewithpeopleandthehostwas withthe "Freshies." Therelayrace wasan easyvictoryfor the first year men and after a long and terrific struggle the tie-up ended in their defeat. In the tug-of-war across Alumn Creek, before the eyes of several hundred "down-lookers,"we took a refreshing plunge. Thereafter the inter-class events went much like the pendulum of a clock, from one side to the other in a rythmic way Football to the Freshman, soccer to the 'Sophs"; the cross-country run to the Fresh and basketballtothesecondyearmen.
..t\lthough the very life of the school depends on these titular frays and various activities caused by rivalry, both friendly and otherwise, these things are only affairs of the moment and a long list of them in numbered order would indeed be tiresome. Accordingly suffice it to say that even though we throw ourselves whole-heartedly into these contests and hope to continue to do so during our whole school career, we have now come to realize that by converting this "pep"into bo 1 dyetwiselyguidedinitiative we may in theend succeed in accomplishing first of all that feat termed good citizenship and from such a solidfoundation strive earnestly toward the other and higher objectives of life.

TRIANGLE HISTORY
One autumn morning in 1920 a ripple of curiosity ran through the students in chapel when it was announced that "The Triangle" would meet. "What is 'TheTriangle'?" everyone wanted to know. Only a day was spent insuspenseforthenext morning after chapel from the vicinity of "Prepdom" came several times the shout, "Yea Triangle." Yes, the Preps were yelling, butalsotheMusicandArtgirlswerelendingtheir voices tothe yells.
Social activity is the keyword at Otterbein. "But how are you going to make Otterbein life interesting," said the Music and Art girls, "when the Music and Art departments consist entirely of girls?" 'And how are we going to counteract the monotonous Latin and Algebra," said the Preps, "when the A·cademy consists mostly of boys?" "Why, that's easy," said a Prep, "let's co-operate."
And so with lots of "pep" and enthusiasm the Music, Art and Prep students merged into one social organization. Quickly results followed. One autumn evening, a little later, they were found making the gym a place of great merriment and gaiety. "Big eats" came later in the evening, and the Songsters, Artists and future College students left the gym claiming Otterbein life to be ideal.
The organization has an interesting social and athletic program for the future and all who are connected with "The Triangle" proclaim that it will be a permanent organization in Otterbein's history.

ART DEPARTMENT
The Fine Arts Department has come to fill a vital place in the Otterbein curriculum. Mostschools of thissize make no attempt to offer a complete course in Art, but here this department includes a wide range of subjects.
There are three courses open to the Art student, General, Normal and Applied Art, andalloftheseprogresssplendidlyundertheablesupervisionofthenewdirector, Mrs. Dunn.
Aside from the regular courses for full time Art students, part time work in any particular subject is'available. The aim of the department is not so much to train professional artists as to cul6vate an appreciation of the beautiful, a gift which will be useful not only to art students, but a valuable asset to anyone inanywalkoflife.
That the Art Department really takes an active part in Otterbein life is evidenced by the socialfunctions given during the year by the Art students, and the many posters, which bedeck the campus advertising school affairs, are a constant reminder that the Art Department is "at work".

DEPARTMENT OF .MUSIC
Our Music Department has just had the greatest year in it's history. The increased enrollment made necessary the addition of an assistant instructor in voice this year, and at presentwe haveabout two hundred pupils in the department. The capacity of equipment in pianoand organ has been reached and an increase in enrollment next year, which is more thanprobable, will demand more practicing facilities. Lambert Hall Auditorium, which was especiallydesigned for recitals of the Music Department,isnowentirelytoo smalltocarefor the audiences, which not only speaks well for the work that is being done, but also impressesupontheconstituencytheneed of alargerhall.
The new two-yearcourse: of Public School Music inaugurated this year, has been a winner. It has been approved by the State Board of Education and any student completing the course will be granted a certificate to teach Public School Music without taking an examination.
The Music Department has a wonderful future before it and the great popularity of the Men's Glee Club and other musical organizations of the:school, in their various concerts, given insurrounding cities, isan excellent indication of the good work being done in the Schoolof Music.

COLLEGE ORCHESTRA
Otterbeinhasalways, inpastyears, boastedofan orchestra of no mean ability. This year, however, thestandard hasrisen stillhigher. Not only in talent does this year's organization compare favorably with past seasons, but also in interest and effort the members show a marked increase. This latter fact is due, primarily, to the able directorship of Professor Dana Strothers.
Three recitals, two athome and one at the Deshler Hotel, Columbus, constituted the public appearances of the orchestra.
MANDOLIN-GUITAR CLUB
Have you ever wandered past Lambert Hall ona Monday evening about seven-thirty? And have you heardthesweetstrainsofjazzastheycamemerrilyforth fromthe windows?
Well, that music had its origin in the Mandolin Club during its practice. We do not wonder at the volume of music when we know that there are seventeen members enrolled in the Club. Two guitars, twobanjos and thirteen mandolins can produce a great quantity, and indeed, great quality of music Professor Spessard is the able director of the Mandolin Club and to his tireless effort is clue much of thesuccessof the organization.

PHILALETHEA
Philalethea is drawing near to the close of a si ngularly successful year. If numbers alone were taken into account we should say the Society has never been so prosperous, the total number of new members for the year being forty-five. Since last year our active roll has more than doubled itself.
But aside from numbers we can say that in every way Philalethea has gone forward with rapid strides. The programs have been of unusual merit, due in part to the splendid work done by those holding the official positions.
Perhaps the one thing of which all Philaletheans are proudest is the paying of the final debt on our piano. It required a real effort to raise the needed funds, but once done our labors are amply rewarded.
If the founder of Philalethea, Mrs. John Hey wood, were to come back and pay us a sisterly visit, we feel certain she would find the old Society spirit still living with a glowing splendor in each of the hearts of the Philalethean members today.
"Veritas Nostrum Clipeum"-that has been the guiding standard of Philalethea and shall ever be the expression of our ideals and traditions.
"Philalethea, Philalethea, Thou daughter of our Otterbein, While years remain Come loss, come gain, No star like thine shall ever shineShall ever shine."

PHILOMATHEA
"Philomathea! Philomathea! Wesoundthy heartypraises; Here'shealth tothee, here's wealth to thee, Each voice thy glory raises."
Forthose who are not familiar with the history of the Philomathean Literary Society, we give the following facts. A division occurred in the Philomathean Society, the first literary society of Otterbein, in 1857. One yearlater a charter was granted to the one division which had taken the name of Otterbein Philoma:thean Literary Society. "Quaerere nostrum studium est" was adopted as the motto underthe new charter and Benjamin Hanby, author of "My DarlingNelly Gray," was elected asthe first president.
During the intervening years Philomathea has sent from her hall hundreds of young men who have been better qualified to carry ontheir work in the world because of the training shehas given them. Two great wars have decimated her ranks for brief periods of time, but today she is experiencingunprecedented prosperity.
The quietdignityofherhallandherglorious traditions inspire in her members loftier resolutionsand nobler ideals. The opportunityfortraining inliterarywork is unexcelled.

PHILOPHRONEA
At the opening of the scholastic year in September, the customary "free-for-all" scrap took place between the men's societies concerning the literary status of the new men, for which Philophronea entered the lists with tempered swords and polished armor, and while we do not pretend tohave come away with everypalm for whichwebattled, we feel thatour quota of Freshman talent has been duly initiated into the ranks for further conquest. The customary "push" fired the opening gun of the year's proceedings, and in addition to that the Society held a reception to the new men after one of the ordinary sessions, at which we showedthe FreshmenarealtimeingoodPhilophroneanstyle; a well-proportionedmixtureof parliamentary form, literary polish, hilarity, andeats.
But Philophronea's enthusiasm didn't wither as the initial boom died out in the distance, for that is not the way Philophronea does things. This year's open and invited sessionshave been unusually numerous, and though we know we are not perfect as hosts, the maximum of effort was expended in making every guest feel at home and enjoy our hospitality to the utmost.
Of course we cannot enumerate all of Philophronea'sgood qualities and achievements, for we realize that other organizations might wantatleastapageor soof SIBYL space, but suffice it to say that, judging from past accomplishments as a whole, Philophronea's friends (and enemies, too, for that matter) can expect from our side of the hall results that will count in the future as they have in the past, for
"So longas suns shall shine on suns, Shall Philophronealive."

THE PUBLIC SPEAKING COUNCIL
There are at least two causes for the high standard of the forensic work m Otterbein. The first of these is to be found in the fact that the college maintains a large department of public speaking, which offers the student a wide range of subjects, including extemporaneous speaking, debate, oratory and dramatic interpretation. This department under the efficient supervision of Professor C. A. Fritz, lays a foundation for all forms of forensic work.
And of equal importance is the work of the four splendid literary societies, for in these societies the student puts into actual practice the theory of the class room. And he docs it before the most critical of audiences, his fellow students.
Two members are elected from each of the four literary societies, and these eight represenatives, together with the head of the Public Speaking Department, form the Public Speaking Council. This organization superintendents all the forensic work of the school, including such annual contests as the Declamation Contest, Oratorical Contest, Freshman-Sophomore Debate, and the intercollegiate debates.
For the past year the members of the Public Speaking Council have been Edith Eby, President (Cleiorhetea); Harold Halderman, Vice-President ( Philomathea ); Manson Nichols, Treasurer (Philophronea); Ruth Hopp, Secretary (Cleiorhetea); J. R. Howe (Philomathea); R. M. Johnson (Philophronea); Ida Marie Snelling (Philalethea); Bertha Hancock (Philalethea).
RUSSELL ORATORICAL CONTEST
Page Seventy-eight
This is another ann ual event for which we are indebted to Dr. Howard Russell, the well known benefactor of Otterbein. Each year he gives an award of thirty dollars which is distributed in three prizes -$15, $10, $5 respectively. Members of the two upper classes are eligible for participation. In previous years the speakers were limited to some phase of the Prohibition Movement, but in the last two years participants have been allowed a greater liberty in the choice of a subject.
Otterbein has always justly boasted of her orators and she may still be proud of them, for the contest this year was in every way up to standard.
The contestants appeared in the order indicated below:
0. A. Jaynes-"The Need of Leadership"
J. Gordon Howard-"The Three Ships"
F. L. Roberts-"The Sphinx of Industry"
A. P. Peden-"Publicity for Democratizing of Industry"
L. B. Harmon-"Our Unwelcome Guests"
All the orations evinced careful preparation and deep thought. L. B. Harmon was selected first place, A. P. Peden was placed second and 0. A. Jaynes won third.
According to this arrangement, Mr. Harmon becomes Otterbein's representative in the State Oratorical Contest held this year at Muskingum College in the latter part of February.
DEBATING TEAMS
AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM.
On March 18 the affirmative team, consi_:;ting of W. N . Roberts (captain), R. M. Johnson and E. E. Harris, traveled to Hiram College. The Otterbein men proposed a powerful affirmative case which evinced careful preparat:onand attentiontodetail. Thedecision, however, was two to one against them. These men, in spite of their hard ·luck, are to be con gratulated as the single vote they brought ho:ne made Otterbein winners of 1:he OtterbeinHiram-Muskingum triangle. It is likely that this team will have another debate, but final arrangements have not yet been completed.
AFFIRMATIVE DEBATE TEAM.
April 21 is the date set for these affirmative debaters to meet the Wittenberg negative on the Otterbein floor. Captain Virgil Willet istheonly veterandeba·terofthetrioandgreat thingsareexpected of him. Walter Schutz and F. L. Robertsare byno means inexperienced speakers, however, andcan be counted upon togive account of themselves when the occasion demands.
Page Seventy-nine
NEGATIVE DEBATE TEAM.
The firnt debate of the Otterbein-Hiram-Muskingum triangle was held in WesterviBe, March 17, when the Otterbein negative met and conqueredtheMuskingum affirmative. The defenders of the Tan and Cardinal were given a unanamous decision over the Muskingumites. This victory, coupled with the one vote ga:ined by the Otterbein affirmative at Hiram put Otterbein at the head of the Triangle. This team has another debate with Wittenberg on April 21 when they meet the Lutherans at Springfield.
SOPHOMORE DEBATE TEAM.
THE FRESHMAN-SOPHOMORE DEBATE
This annual event has just recently been madepossiblethroughthegenerosityof Mr. James M. Cox. one of Otterbein's debaters of former days. A team of three speakers and one alternate is chosen by try-outfromeachof thetwo lower classes. The prizeof twenty-five dollars is distributed among the members of the winningteam as they choose.
The first annual debate on this foundation washeldinthechapelTuesday night, December 7, when A. W. Elliott (captain), John Mayne, H. V. Miller and F. McIntyre (alternate), Sophomores, upheld the affirmative, against Marion Hite (captain), Joy F Dillinger, D. M. Halleck and W. Wolf (alternate), Freshmen, who defendedthe negative.
The question under discussion was, "Resolved, thatthe Executiveformofbudgetforfederal expenditures is preferable to the legislative form."
All those who heard these debaters were impressed with their preparation and knowledge of the question. Their arguments clashed in such a waythattheinterest offheaudiencewas maintained till the end. Both sides showed commendable form in debating, and promise of good material for the Varsity debating squad some day.

ORA TORY "O" ASSOCIATION
The Oratory "O" Association, though not so active as it might be as an organization, nevertheless includes in its membership a group of men who, through their efforts in debate and oratory, have made a name for their Alma Mater.
Membership is open to anyone who has represented the college m Varsity Debate or Oratory.

SIBYL
The SIBYL, Otterbein's official annual publication, is edited and published each year by the Junior Class.
For years, the SIBYL has appeared only every two years, but the Class of '21, one year ago, recognizing the inadequacy of a biennial, tookituponthemselvestosetanexcellent precedentby issuing anannual. Intaking this brave step the Class of '21 deserves the heartiestthanksthat Otterbeincanoffer.
Every SIBYListheresultof much painstaking effort, and all this, and even more at times, has been duly experienced by this year's staff. However, if the book meets the approval of the subscribers the staff will feel amp'.y repaid.
The purpose of the SIBYL is to give in a graphic way a record of the year's events. It does not pretend to be either a newspaper or a literary publication. These fields are ably cared for by other recognized school 01gans, but we do hope that some future day by means ofthese pictures, write-ups and other material, you can faithfully and accurately recall the events of the year'20-'21.
A Word of Thanks
VI/e wish to take this opportunity to thank all those kindly disposed individuals who, thoughnot onthe Staffor even members of the Junior Class, were unselfish enough to add materially to the success of this book by their valuable assistance.

THE TAN AND CARDINAL
A live college paper is now a reality in every progress1ve college, and Otterbein is no exception. The appearance of "THE TAN AND CARDINAL," a weekly publication which represents all phases of college activities, is always a weekly event.
THE TAN AND CARDINAL was esbblished in 1917 to take the place of the papers which up to that time had been issued by each of the two men's literary societies.
Each year Otterbein grows and THE TAN AND CARDINAL grows with her. The staff for its faithful and consistent effort, deserves the school's warmest approbation.

GREETINGS
'fo the Readers of 'fhe Sibyl
The publication of the Sibyl of 1921 will likely be historic in the annals of Otterbein College. In all probability its date marks a transition period in the life of the institution. The unusual growth of the college in material things and in numbers of students in recent years both demands and inspires a large forw,nd movement. The meeting of the board of trustees February22and23 wasepochal The plans for a half dozennew buildings andlargelyincreasedendowmentare on the one hand forced upon the institution by the circumstances and on the other are the result of an inspired awakening among our people. The trustee meeting was the largest in the history of the college. The members of the board grappled with big things rather than with trifles. Fundamental issues were involved rather than incidentals.
At the rate of growththe college has enjoyed in the last two years it will take only five years to reach1,0CX)students. This would require a doubling of the size of the present plant to say nothing of the expansion incident the growing standards and ideals of college life. Newbuildings, new grounds, new endowmentandnew methods of work allaresuggested by these new departures. Let there be a solemn agreement now among trustees, faculty, students, alumni, and friends everywhere that Otterbein College stands for good citizenship and good church leadership. Her mission is to the individual, the church, the nation, and to the world of international relations. The spirit of service, of brotherhood, of Christian democracy and of high character of leadership must never be lost sight of in the exciting mazeofchanging conditions. Letus not forget the rock whence we have been hewn. May we never lose sight of the simple but eternal things of life. Let us beware lest we become intoxicated with a desire simply to be like others, and lose sight of the essential purpose of ourexistence.
If, drunk with sight of power, we loose
Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe
Such boasting as the Gentiles use
Or lesser breeds without the lawLord God of Hosts, be with us yet, Lest we forget-lest we forget!
(Signed) W. G. CLIPPINGER, President.

YOUNG MEN'S CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION.
Page Eighty-eight
Y. M. C. A. CABINET.
Young Men's Christian Association
From the time that the first college Y. M. C. A. in the state of Ohio was organizedat Otterbein University in 1877, downtothe present day, the Otterbein Y. M. C. A. has taken the leadership in Christian work among the men in thiscollege. It wasstartedasaweeklyprayer meeting for thecollege men and continues to serve that purpose at the present time, though many other aspects of Christian life are considered in the work of the Y. M. C. A.
In reviewing the past year there are four or five events that stand out quiteprominently in the life of the Association. The first one was the securing of a goodly numberof delega,tes to attend the Lake Geneva Student Conference. Regardlessofthepersonal sacrifice of the delegatestherewereseven studentsandonefacultymember whofoundit possible togo to Lake Geneva. The effects of the inspiration of the Geneva Conference have been constantly felt in the Association throughout the whole year. As a result of this Conference it was decided that the cabinet members would plan to return to college a day or two earlier in September in order to hold a "Fall Retreat" of the Y. M. C. A. It was at the "Fall Retreat" that most of the plans for the entireyear were outlined.
One ofthe things thatloomed large in the minds of the cabinet members was the plan for a series of evangelistic services to be conducted by the two Christian Associations of the college. Dr. J. CampbeH White, of White's Bible School, New York City, was finally secured as leader in this campaign. A deepened spiritual life and a fuller consecration was the result of the eviangelistic meetings.
The weekly devotional meetings of the Y. M. C. A. have been lead both by students and outside speakers. The meetings have been well attended, having an attendanceofabout 65 to70 at each regular meeting and oftenrunning above that on special oocasions.
Among the many other ambitions that the present officers have for the Y. M. C. A. is the one that the Association shall stand for quality and not quantity. This idealcan best be attained by clinging closelyto the "Association Objective" as outlined'bythe International Committee of the Y. M. C. A.

INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB
There has long been a decided need for an organization for those students whose major interests lie largely with Political and related Social Sciences. Accordingly in 1919-1920 a semblance of a club was organized, but this year has seen the definite organization of an International Relations Club. Otterbein thus joins a long chain of colleges possessing one of these clubs. The aim of the Club isto make a broad study of the relations of our country with the remainder of the world. Under the excellent advice and cooperation of Doctor Snavely, the Club enjoys its bi-monthly meetings gathered 'round the faculty table, where many interesting discussions take place.
Mr. F. L. Roberts is President and Mr. M. E. Stearns Secretary of the Club.

WEST VIRGINIA BOOSTERS
The West Virginia students are organized into a group of earnest and enthusiastic "Otterbeinites," commonly called the West Virginia Boosters. This little band from the mountain state, becoming so saturated and in love with the wholesome atmosphere which surrounds Otterbein, were anxious to see more people from \Vest Virginia coming to Otterbein. Thus "Pep" meetings were planned and held throughout West Virginia during the Christmas vacation. In these meetings college life was discussed from every viewpoint turning the eyes of many of the High School students, teachers and parents toward Otterbein. Many results direct and indiect, were obtained from these meetings .
One of the direct results which is worthy of special mention is the gift of the baby grand piano to Cochran Hall by the Tither's League of the Grafton United Brethren Church.
Officers of this organization are: President, E. D. Ford; Vice-President, E. R. Cole; Secretary and Treasurer, Lera Waters.
THE MEN BEHIND THE SCENES
There is always with us at Otterbein a staff of workers who, though unheralded and unseen perform daily tasks that make it possible for us to enjoy life about the campus.
Janitors, Engineers, Firemen, each one, deserves a real tribute from the student body for work conscientiously done. Diel you ever take time to thank them for what they so cheerfully accomplish? Try it sometime, we are sure that they would appreciate it.

COCHRAN HALLEXECUTIVE BOARD.
COCHRAN HALL ASSOCIATION
Cochran and Saum Halls are the homes of mos,t Otterbein girls. In these dormitories they live together as one large family, though of course some form of government is necessary to protect the rights and privileges of so many girls.
By reason of their residence in one of these Halls, the girls are members of the Cochran Hall Association. Annually, in a democratic way, representative girls are elected to serve on the Co·chran Hall Executive Board, which, with the advice of Dean McFadden, acts as the governing body of the association.
The dormitories are the real center of the school and social life of Otterbein girls, and here, throughout the school-year, occur a never-ending round of parties and pushes. With Dean McFadden as the guiding spirit of Cochran Hall and Mrs. Flickinger of Saum Hall, these two buildings are considered the real "homey" spots in Otterbein, and therefrom "emanates much of the social life of the college.
Officers for the past year have been: President, Esther Harley; Vice-President, Evelyn Darling; Secretary, Faith Seyfried; Treasurer, Lilian Carlson; Senior Representative, Margaret Pifer; Junior, Pauline Stubbs; Sophomore, Lucile Ewry; Freshman, Katherine Pollack; Art, Mary Chamberlain; Music, Virginia Wolfe; Social Chairman and Fire Chief, Marvel Sebert; Chairman Street Committee, Jessie Wilson; President House Council, Helen Bechtolt.

He was a good tackler and handled the ball neatly and accurately. "Caesar" always ran the team with the best judgment and well deserves the honor of being captain of the All-Otterbeinall-star team. He died on April 3, 1903, and Otterbein mourned his death as one of her most devoted friends. We will go far to find another "Caesar."

Tom Dempsey, '08.
Tom Dempsey was one of the nerviest ends in a football uniform. He was playing college football when he was only sixteen years of age. He was noted for his ability to get down under punts. Tom is known to the stock raisers all over the country and we wish him continued success.
Winfred Forrest Coover, A.M., '00.
"Buck" Coover needs no introduction to Otterbein supporters. A better tackle could not be found in his day. He will long be remembered in the hearts of Otterbein friends as deserving much credit for the early success of Otterbein. After graduating from Otterbein, "Buck" entered Ohio State and was chosen to captain State's eleven. Now he is imparting the knowledge of chemistry to the people of Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa, but he still finds time to follow up athletics.
Irvin Wilson Howard, A.M., M.D., '01.
"Shorty" Howard was one of the strongest tackles in the state. The opposing team always lined up two men against this giant. He was six feet three inches and weighed over two hundred pounds.
After leaving Otterbein he entered Ohio Medical School and played a strong tackle. He was elected captain of the team at 0. M.
"Shorty" is pursuing the life of a physician in Batavia, Illinois, and we hope these greetings find him well.
Erastus Guy Lloyd, A.B., Ll.B., '98.
"Ras" Lloyd although chosen for an All-Otterbein end, spent most of his time while in Otterbein at fullback and sub-quarter. No one could break an interference better or go down the field under punts faster.
Since leaving school he has made good as a law student and at present is a member of the Ohio Senate. We wish him continued success.
William Crooks Teter, Ph.B., D.D.S., A.M., '96.
When looking around for half-backs "Bill" Teter stood out as one of the strongest that could be selected. He was good on circling the ends, he was a good punter and was known as the best straightarmer in Otterbein. "Bill" was a scrappy player and always enjoyed any kind of an encounter. He is following the dentist profession in Cleveland, Ohio.
Clarence Birch Stoner, A.B., '96.
"Pebble" Stoner with his brother were known as the twin-half-backs. He was a clever dodger, a sure tackler and a very good line bucker. A better half-lnck could not be found. He was likened unto "Willie" Heston of Michigan.
Stoner is with the Hotel Statler Company and we assure him of our best wishes.
William Robert Rhoades, A.B., '96.
"Billie" Rhoades, our right guard although playing most of the time at tackle where he excelled, was a giant in size and strength and was a very consistent player. The last word we had from him he was at Williamsport, Pa.
Lawrence Llewellyn Barnard, A.M., '94.
"Larry" Barnard was the best punter and the hardest line bucker Otterbein ever had. Often times he would gain several yards after being downed. He was captain of the team for '90, '92, and was fullback for the years '90, '91, '92, '93.
"Larry" is an architect in the big city of New York and we certainly wish him a happy life.
E. S.Barnard, '95, better known as "The Reverend," has done more for athletics in Otterbein than any other man ever connected with the University. He was practically the founder and perpetuator of athletics while in school. He was not much of a player himself, but he knew how to advise plays and to develop players. He was captain of the "scrub" football team for four seasons, and in this way furnished very valuable aid to the varsity by always having a strong team to line up against them, by organizing new plays, and by preparing green players for the varsity.
While in school he umpired all the games, both football and baseball. He knew both games thoroughly, gave his decisions honestiy and emphatically, and had the nerve and grit to stand by his decisions under all kinds of conditions.
Since his graduation he has been closely connected with athletics, In the fall of '95 he coached the team representing his Alma Mater, and succeeded in developing one of the strongest teams that ever represented the Tan and Cardinal. During the fall of '96 and '97, he coached the Barracks team of Columbus with wonderful success, making one of the strongest teams in the state out of one of the weakest. In the fall of '98 he coached the team representing the Ohio Medical University. Next four years he was Sporting Editor of the Columbus Evening Dispatch and was considered as the best authority on athletic matters in this part of the country. "Reverend" has always been ready and willing to do all in his power for the betterment and furtherance of athletics in Otterbein. He is always asked for advice where important matters are to be considered, and the prominence which Otterbein has gained in the athletic world has been largely Page One Hundred Three
due to theadvice he has given and to the schemes he planned and executed. He stands in the same relation to athletics in Otterbein as does Walter Camp to Yale, Robert Wrenn to Harvard, Moffat to Princeton, and Dashiel to Lehigh.
With such men as these back of Otterbein who can foretell the future of our school.
We take this opportunity of sending our greetingto the Alumni andwewant them to know we are interestedin their successandwishthem alltheluck in theworld.
HATS OFF TO 0. C.'s GRIDIRON PIONEERS
Bishop A. T. Howard
How like a flock of spring lambs we looked in our clean, new canvas suits on that autumn day in 1890, the day Otterbein met Kenyoninher firstgameof Inter-collegiatefootball. Notwithstanding that first unfavorablescore, Otterbeinmadethatdayastimehassince proved, a most successful "kick-off" in the great game that was to last down through the years.
There were men on the fighting team in those earlier years who did not always get into the team photographs. First of all among Otterbein's fighting, brainy men, was E. S. Barnard, always known as "Rev." I presume he never played in a single match game, but the brains and time he gave to thinkingthrough that first team's problems was the greatest single factor in the earliest successes.
"Linc Artx," our first coach, who coached us after the first season was over and when there was snow on the ground, also for the help he gave, should be regarded as a most helpful member of the team later measurably successful.
Itseemsdisloyaltoomitanynamesonthe squad from '90 to '93, but space only permits the mention of the chief figures. We bigger fellowsalwayshad an almost affectionate regard for our little quarter, "Caesar" (W. A.) Garst. He knewthegame, was quick witted and plucky. It can not be proved of course, but I shallbelievetoend of the chapter, he was afirstchoiceforanall-stateteaminhisday.
Another dependable man in any position was "Jack" (Dr. L. A.) Thompson. Both "Caesar" and "Jack" served sentences as captains.
Two of our greatest ground gainers in the back field wer eth eStoner brothers (C. B. and Frank). We can feel sure "Birch" (C. B.) is now attacking the Stattler accounting problems with the same vigor as he headed into his opponents' lines in the early nineties.
Few 0. C. teams of recent years ever tooka worsedrubbingorlostmoremoney inthe bargain, than our team one very rainy day when Otterbein played De Pauw in Dayton. Otterbein had given a generous guarantee. The debt incurred that day was never fully paid until after the '94 men at least were out of college. Stillitwasthatday,asthe writerrecalls, we sangfor the first time:
"We'rethejollyfootball boys Who hail from Otterbein
In our dirty canvas suits, et cetera.
The day of days to remember, was the Thanksgiving Day game in Cleveland in 1893 when Otterbein tied Western Reserve 6 to 6 in what each claimed to be, under hte circumstances, a State Championship contest. While Otterbein didn't win, we still were on the wayhome andhave been eversince-

MERLIN A. DITMER
In Merlin A. Ditmer, Otterbein has secured as a coach for hervarious athletic teams a man of rare coaching ability andtraining-amanwho is destined to put Otterbein in the front rank of college athletic teams in Ohio.
Mr. Ditmer is an alumnus of Otterbein, having graduated in the class of 1910, a time when Otter. bem took a back seat to few schools in Ohio. His college athletic record is an enviable one-two years as encl and one year as full-back of all-state caliber and a top-notcher in track, doing the dashes in record time and being a member of the mile relay team whichholdstherecord. Beinganalumnushe has thewelfare of the school at heart to a greater degree than any coach can possibly have who is not an alumnus. Page One Hundred Six

Mr. Ditmer isverywellfittedforhisworkbecause of the large amount of training he has had. He tookan athleticcoursefor coaches, bothatthe University of Illinois and at Ohio State. Inthe summer of 1915hetook anextendedcourseinphysicaleducation at Chautauqua, New York. In football he studied under the following eminentcoaches: Mr. Zuppke, Universityof Illinois, Mr.Al Sharp of Cornell, and Mr. Brummage, University of Kentucky. Basketball he studied under Mr. Jones, University of Illinois, and Mr. Brummage, University of Kentucky; track under Mr. Castleman, Ohio State, and Mr. Gill, University of Illinois; baseball under Mr. Lundgren, University of Michigan, and Mr. George Huff, University of Illinois. He also took work in football, basketball anl baseball under Mr. St. John, Athletic Director of Ohio State.
Mr. Ditmer has shown marked ability in developing winning teams.

BASE BALL SQUAD, 1920.
Ray \Vatts, Coach
V. E. Cribbs, :Manager
BASEBALL
\Vhen the initial call for baseball candidates was sent out, thirty men responded. Previous to this time, however, the batteries had started an early work-out in the gym. Among the candidates were eight letter men from the year before.
There seemed to be a dearth of material for some positions, while others were hotly contested. Elra Miller applied for first base, Mignery for second, Martin for short, George and Dew for third. M. L. Howe, Seneff and Peden aspired to the back-stop position. Killinger, Grabill, Pace, Ruebush, Leffel, Wells, Albright and Fox were applicants for an outfield berth. The hurlers were Perry, Wilbourg, Corsen, Cribbs, Scheidler, Ulrey and Ranck.
The weeding out process left Ulrey and Perry on the mound, Howe and Seneff behind the bat. Miller on first, Mignery on second, Martin at short, George on third, Grabill, Pace, Albright and Fox in the field.
Games with Denison and Ohio University were cancelled at the opening of the season because of rainy weather.
Otterbein-Wesleyan
The season opened at Delaware on Thursday, April 29. Wesleyan took the game with a 4-0 score. The second inning was a big one for the Methodists, while Otterbein missed a good opportunity to score in the seventh.
Otterbein-Kenyon
Kenyon came here for the second game, Friday, May 7. Otterbein possessed the final punch this time, tieing the score in the fifth and winning in the ninth by a score of 3-2. The winning hit was driven out by George, scoring Seneff.
Otterbein-Capital
Capital took Otterbein across in the third game at Columbus on May 15. The score stood 11-2. Otterbein started out with a dash, scoring in the first frame, but the Tan and Cardinal boys blew up early in the affair, literally giving Capital a walk away. Capital scored on Otterbein's errors.
Otterbein-Ohio
May the 22nd saw the game go to Ohio University on the home diamond by a score of 7-3. The game was loosely played by both aggregations. King of Ohio kept the Otterbein batsmen baffled for seven innings by his wonderful "steam". Ulrey was touched rather freely and had poor support.
Otterbein-Kenyon
Otterbein's luck changed in the fifth encounter when on June 4, Kenyon bit the dust for the second time in the season. It took eleven thrilling innings to gain the upper hand but eventually Otterbein came out on the top of a 5-4 victory.
Otterbein-Akron Mutes
On the fo!lowing clay at Akron the powerful Goodyear Mutes fell before the Varsity's onslaughts and a 5-3 game 111 favor of 0. C. was the result. Ulrey pitched a super-brand of ball in these two games allowing only four hits in eighteen innings.
Otterbein-Capital
On June 12, Otterbein made it three consecutive victories and four for the entire season by defeating Capital on the home cliamoncl, 3-2, thus revenging the defeat sustained earlier in the season. This game was well played from start to finish and Ulrey was the outstanding performer allowing only five hits.
Summary
qrabill and Fox are lost by graduation; Perry, a Freshman, will be ineligible under Conference rulmg; Miller has not returned to school this year; otherwise the team will be intact and Coach Ditmer will have a seasoned nucleus around which to build a winning nine.
Page One Hundred Eleven
VARSITY TENNIS
Tennis was the most successful of all inter-collegiate sports during the period covered by this review. Out of eight matches, in which the best tennis teams of the state were met, Otterbein came through with six victories. Ohio State was the only team met which outclassed the local racket wielders. Otterbein isindeed fortunate in being represented by such artists of the court game as Bancroft and Martin.
OTTERBEIN-CAPITAL
Otterbein was defeated by Capital at Columbus on April 23 in the initial match of the season. Martin easily took care of his opponent, Captain Tressell, but Bancroft was defeated by Fabing after a hard tilt, Bancroft being obliged to play on the slippery end of the court which greatly handicapped him. This poor sportsmanship displayed on the part of Capital cost the match for Otterbein.
OTTERBEIN-OHIO STATE
Ohio State copped the second match of the season on their courts on April 27. Bancroft and Martin won their double.s 6-1, 7-9, while Mullin and Ho llinger l ost 6-3, 6-3. All the singles were lost in straight sets except Martin's first which he won 8-6.
OTTERBEIN-KENYON
The tennis victories started with the third match at Kenyon. Martin won his singles 3-6, 6-2, 6-2, while Bancroft lost 6-4, 6-4. The Kilgore brothers were taken across in the doubles to the tune of 0-6. 6-2, 6-2.
OTTERBEIN-WESLEYAN
The first match with Wesleyan was held at Delaware on May 4. Bancroft lost to Wee 6-4, 6-4, while Martin took Muth, Wesleyan's best man, 8-6, 6-3. · Wesleyan won the first doubles 7-5 and Otterbein the second 6-1. The match was not finished on account of rain. The return match was held here on May 10. Otterbein took this match and thereby annexed victories for both matches.
Page One Hundred Thirteen
OTTERBEIN-MUSKINGUM
The first tilt with the M uskingumites was in Westerville, May 14. Otterbein made a clean sweep of it, not losing a single set. Bancroft took his 6-1, 7-5, and Martin 6-2, 6-3. The doubles were taken 8-6, 6-2. The second match, on Muskingum's courts was taken in a similar fashion. Martin 7-5, 6-3 and Bancroft took his 6-1, 3-6, 6-3. Otterbein grabbed the doubles by a score 10-8, 6-3.
OTTERBEIN-DENISON
Denison was the victim of Otterbein's sixth consecutive victory at Granville, May 29. The season was finished by winning in straight sets as follows: Martin over McConnaughy 6-2, 6-2. Bancroft over Quay 7-5, 6-1. Doubles 6-4, 6-0.
With this superb record as a indication of what Martin and Bancroft can do, we can prophesy that the 1921 season will find them supreme among Ohio colleges.

TRACK
Thetrackseasonof1920wasnotveryextensive, Otterbein having but four meets scheduled and the beginning ofthe season andthen having tocancel the meet with Kenyon on account of inclement weather.
On Friday, April30, ourteam met Heidelbergat Tiffin. A wet track handicapped the men to a great extent and kept down the records. Heidelberg finally took the long end of a 75-51 score. Otterbein performed commendably considering the fact that the men had not had a single practice. Peden placed firstinthepolevaultand shotput; Fox reachedthebest mark in the high jumps, while Miller came in first in both high and low hurdles.
Thesecondmeet, stagedat Granville on May 8, found Denison victor with a 71-36 score. The Baptists scored point after point because of Otterbein's inability to furnish entries for numerous events. At this meet Peden broke his own record for the pole vault, clearing the bar at eleven feet one inch.
Otterbein finished the track season in a highly satisfactory fashion on May 29 when they swamped St. Mary's by an overwhelming score. This meet was won in easystyle, Otterbein taking eleven first and eightseconds out of thirteen events. The final score was 81-41.
Thetrack teamwas handicapped throughoutthe seasonbynothavinga suitable track upon which to train.
Thissportrequiresgruelling and intensive preparation and the team deserves an abundance of credit considering that there was almost an entire lack of training.
Peden was the outstanding performer and yielded first place to few men in his events. Several new men showed ability and with the material at hand a successful series of meets should feature 1921.

VARSITY FOOTBALLSQUAD.
FRESHMAN FOOTBALL SQUAD.
Page One Hun'dred Eighteen
When Coach Ditmer issued his initial call for footballcandidates on theopeningdayof school, September 15, he found himself face to face with a situationwhichwasuniqueintheathletichistory of Otterbein, namely, the ineligibility of Preps and Freshman for the Varsity. The coach and the squad, however, were undaunted by this obstacle and the process of "hardening" started without delay.
Twenty-six men eligible for the Varsity reported for practice the first afternoon. Nine of these, Peden, Howard, M. L. Howe, Martin, Albright, Troop, Hert, Ranck and Barnhart were "letter men" from previous seasons, while Troutman, Schreck, Collier, J. R. Howe, Seneff, Stearns, Roberts, George, Miller, Roose, Heitz, Newell, White, Crabbs, Hancock, Paceand Lehman, somenewmenandsubsfromtheprevious year, composed the remainder of the squad. Sprout, Franklinand Schutzlateraddedthemselvestothe number.
Coach Ditmer soon showed evidence of belief in the doctrine of hard work, and the squad spent many long, gruelling hours on the gridiron, the tacklingdummy, thecharging machine andgoingthrough the regular routine of football practice
If the number of games won is to be considered as a standard of success, the football season was far from being a decided success.
Seven Conference games were played, none of which were won by Otterbein. Some consolation, however, may be gained from the fact that all the teams which defeated Otterbeinweretop-notch aggregations, infactour eleven played astifferschedulethan someof the best teamsin the state.
There isanother angle, however, fromwhichtoviewthe football seasonof 1920, apointofview vastly more satisfactory. Because of the handicapunder which we labored due to this being our first year in the Ohio Athletic Conference, we could hardly be expected to have a top-notch eleven. However, a foundation couldbelaidupon which to build for futureyears, andthiswasaccomplishedinasuccessfulmanner.

OTTERBEIN-OHIO WESLEYAN.
The football season opened at Ohio Wesleyan on September 25, the game being played beneath a blistering sun in mi'dsummer heat. Peden was severely injured in the first minute of play, but stayed in the game almost the entire first half. Otter• bein, outweighedalmostthirtypounds to the man, made acreditable' showing against the veteran Wesleyanites. Ohio Wesleyan 33, Otterbein 0.
OTTERBEIN-MUSKINGUM.
The second game found the Tan and Cardinal gridders facing Muskingum on Otterbein Field. Otterbein, though weak on the offensive show"d commendable aggressiveness, holding their superior a1dversary for downs twice within the ten yard line. Peden's brilliant work on the defensive and the 45 yard drop k ick by Pollack of Muskingum were the features of the game. Muskingum 24, Otterbein 0.
OTTERBEIN-DENISON.
The team traveled to Granville for the third game on Saturday, October 9. Otterbein put up a stiff battle against the Baptists and Coach Ditmer's men began to showtheresultsof thorough, careful coaching and forced Denison, reputed as one of the bestforward passingmachinesinthestate toabandonthattypeof gameandresorttoendruns. Denisoncompletedbut two passes out of numerous attempts. Otterbein was outweighedtenpoun'ds. Denison21, Otterbein 0.

OTTERBEIN-WILMINGTON.
Wilmington was entertained on the home field in the fifth game of the season. Tl,is was Otterbein's day from start to finish. The results ofgruellingtrainingand pa'-ient coachingwere evident throughout the encounter. Peden's and Albright's runs and �1artin'spasses were thefeatures of the game. Wilrr.jngton'sonlyscorewastheresultofaninterceptedforwardpass. Otterbein's score of 20 points for the first half was doubled during the second. Final score, Otterbein 60, Wilmington 7.
OTTERBEIN-OHIO.
Ohio University and Otterbein clashed in the season's sixth game at Neil Park, Columbus, on Saturday, October 30. Otterbein displayed great development since previous games and with the victory of the week before acting as a stimulus the Westerville chaps started the game with a do or die spirit. The heavy Ohio team was outplayed by Otterbein's lighter eleven \luring the first half. the period ending with the score 13-14, Otterbein on the long end. During the second half, however, the 0. C. war�io.rs were literally worn out by Ohio'sheavy line and were also handicapped by lack of substitutes to replace the numerous miured men. Peden and Albright starred for Otterbein. Lehman and Albright were carried from the field with injuries that kept them out the remainder of the season. Ohio 53, Otterbein 14.
OTTERBEIN-HEIDELBERG
The Heidelberg game which featured the 1920 Home-coming, was played November 6. The game started with a zip an'd Otterbein gave blow for blow but as the game wore on we were unable to stand the rapid pace set by the heavy Heidelberg line. Peden, playinga wonderful game, made substantialgains and backed up his own light linesmen like a veritable stone wall. Otterbein'_s only score was through a safety which netted 2 points. Tf1oughthisgame was witnessed bytheusuallarge crowdsofalumni andfriendsandtheplayersputfortheveryeffort to cop thebaconthe superior weight of the "up-state" team prevailed. Heidelberg 21, Otterbein 2.
OTTERBEIN-WITTENBERG.
On Saturday, November 13, Otterbein traveled to Springfield to meet the far-famed Lutherans, who were undoubtedly the peers of the Ohio Conference gridiron season of 1920. In this game, though defeated, Otterbein established an enviable reputationfor"footbaJIfight"unequalledbyanyotherofWittenberg'sopponents. The benefits of Coach Ditmer's untiring efforts were at last fully realized and it is little short of marvelous that so effective a machine could be built with so few seasoned players. As it was, Otterbein held the championship outfit to a score of 7-0 for the first half. To do this, however, Otterbein had given her best and during the second half Wittenberg was able to roll up a large score. Peden played the stellar role for Otterbein, ancl ,George was also a consistent ground gainer. The work of the line stood out prominently as a feature of the game. Wittenberg 42, Otterbein 0.
OTTERBEIN-WOOSTER.
The Wooster game was cancelle'd by mutual agreement because of the heavy snow fall.
A WORD OF THE FUTURE.
The 1920 team will furnish an excellent framework up on which to build. Only t>vo letter men are being lost by graduation, and with a wealth of material coming in from the Freshman class both for the backfield and line, Coach Ditmer will have far greater opportunity to mould a winnin,i team. We willattemptnopropheciesexcepttosaythatOtterbeinwill refuse in the immediate future to take a back seat in Uhio Conference standings.
Page One Hundred Nineteen
M. L. Howe ("Levi"), Left Tackle-This is Levi's third year of Varsity football. He has played a hard brand of football and has lost but little time.
Peden ("Roy"), Half, Full (Captain)-Roy has been the mainstay of more than one Otterbein team. Heplays a stellar game, backing up the linelike a stone wall. He is excelled by no man in the conference as a defensive player, and by few on the offensive. Roy was fullback on the second All-Ohio.
Sprout ("Sprouty"), Quarter-This was Sprout's first year of football. He played his position well and instilleda lot of pep into the team.
Albright ("Ex"), End and Half-This is Ex's third Varsityyear. Heplayedagoodconsistentgame, both in the back field and at end. He was injured in the Ohio game and was out the rest of the season.
Page One Hundred Twenty
Miller ("Hard Boiled"), End-Miller, playing his first year on the Varsity, held down the position of left end against all comers. His first game of the season was played at tackle.
Martin ("Bob"), Quarter and Half-Bob started the season at quarter, his last year's position but was shifted to half in the third game and he played there the rest of the season. His work as defensive quarter is excellent and his open field running is good to see.
George ("Johnny"), Encl and Half-George handled himself very creditably at end and at half. His line plunging in the Heidelberg and Wittenberg games stands out as features of those contests
J. R. Howe ("Chief"), R. Guard-Playing his first year on the Varsity, J. R. held down the position of right guard during the greater part of the season and played left tackle in a couple games.
Page One Hundred Twenty-one
Franklin ("Tillie"), Center-Franklin was handicapped by a dislocated knee during the first part of the season, but played a hard consistent game at center during the latter half of the season.
Collier ("Perk"), End-Perkdidverycreditable work at end. He is a good tackler and handles the ball well.
Lehman ("Skinney"), Left Tackle-This is Skinney's first season, but he played a good game at tacklein spite ofhis inexperience.
Hert, ("Lym"), Sub-Lym, a letter man of former years, thoughhelackedthepunchtoplayvery long at a time, was able to render valuable service as substitute, tackleandguard. Hewas always on the jobwitha lot of pep.
Page One Hundred Twenty-two
Howard ("Gord"), Center and Guard-Howard, a center of two years' Varsity experience, played a couple games at his old position and finished the season at right guard. He has the distinction of being the only man who did not lose a minute of play during the season.
Troop ("Horace"), Sub Guard-Troop, a letter man of the previous year, set a fine example by staying out the entire season, although he did not earn a permanent place on the team. His example could well be followed by others who are wearing letters.
Newell ("Ed"), L. Guard-The fact that Newell was able to hold a place on the team without having had any previous football experience is sufficient indication of the kind of game he plays.
Schreck ("Bob"), Sub-Bob rendered valuable service during the season as a substitute backfield man and end. PageOneHundredTwenty-three

Otterbein started the basketball season of 1921 under the same adverse conditions as the football season was started. The team was weakened by the loss of Charles L. Fox by graduation, and Torrence Cutler through ineligilbifrty under conference rules.
Coach Ditmer started in with his characteristi,c vigor to mould into a team the remnants from last year. The candidates were Captain Albright, L. L. White, Priest, Ranck, Schreck, Collier, Roland, White, Schutz, George, Thomas, Bradrick, "Skinney" Lehman, Barnhart and Funk.
During the greater part of the season th� players were shifted from one positionto another in an effortto find the best combination. Everyman was given an adequate opportunity to prove his worth. The fight that the team possessed at the end of the season, and the improvement in the work of theindividualplayers is sufficient testimony to the correctness of thecoach'smethods.
Otterbein opened the season at Wittenberg on January eleventh. Although the Varsity was decisively defeated by a score of thirty-three to twelve, they displayed a fine brand of fight against the seasoned Wi'ttenberg team.
On January 14th the Varsity travelled to Heidelberg where they met defeat by a thirty-itwo to seventeen score. The following night at Ohio Northern the team failed to work together and a score of forty-two to sixteen was piled up against them.

Otterbein played Denison on January 12th at Denison. The team lacked the ability to get together against the smooth-working Denison quintet, the score being thirty-three for Denison to eighteen for Otterbein. Schutz, in his first Varsity game, made thirteen out of the eighteen points.
On the following night on the home floor Antioch sprung a surprise, administering a thirty-three to twenty-one defeat upon Otterbein. Antioch had practically the same team as last year and were eagerto secure revenge forthedefeattheysuffered here theprevious season. Otterbein la.eked team work and could not locate the basket.
Ohio Universitywas the nextcontender, playing Otterbein on the local floor January 29th. The game was slow and rough. Ohio showed some of the stuff that made her conference champs The score was forty-seven to thirteen.
Otterbein lost to Capital at Columbus on Friday, Feb. 4th, at Columbus, by a score of thirty-eight to fifteen. Otterbein missed manyshots,but struck acombination inthe second half which outplayed their opponents.
On February 13ththe Varsity played the fast Mt. Union aggregation at Alliance, losing by a score of fifty-two to seventeen. Albright did good work for Otterbein. They played the "Exlines," an independent team, atCanton,the followingnightand camethrough with the short end of athirty-seven to thirty-onescore. Thegamewas closeandwellplayed.
Otterbein met Ohio U on their home floor on Feb. 19th. The Varsity started in strong,scoringsixpointsbefore Ohiofoundthebasket,butwasunable tokeep thepace. The gameendedforty-six to nineteen for Ohio
Otterbein lost to Cincinnati U on their floor on Feb. 22nd by a single point, the score being twenty-nine to thirty. Otterbein played a scrapping game but was unable to get a lead over Cincinnati. Albright and \i\Thite didvery creditable work in this game.
On Feb. 26th Otterbein won the only game of the season by defeating the fast Ohio Northren team by a score of twenty-three to twenty-two. In this game the team was at its best,andtheresultsof theircoaching,vasevident. Every mem'ber of the team did phenomenal work, and had the required amount of fight,and it was probably this latterelemrnt that brought the bacon home.
Capital took Otterbeinover for the secondtimeduringtheseason on March 5th,bydefeating the Varsity on the home floor. The team-work and fight of the previous week was somewhat lacking in this game. The final score was thirty-five to seventeen.
The final game of the season was playedatWesleyan on March 12th. Otterbein put ,up a scrappy game and had Wesleyan ten to twoatthe end of the first tenminutes,throwing a real scare into the camp of the enemy, Wesleyan came back strong, however, and the game ended thirty-one toforty-nine for Wesleyan. AlbrightandWhitestarredfor Otterbein.

INTER-CLASS ATHLETICS
Inter-class aithle,tics have c ome to hold a very important place in college life at Otterbein. Indications are that their popularity in all branches of sport will continually increase. They serve the valuable, two-fold purpose of bringing to light Varsity material and also of giving a larger number of students an opportunity to participate in athletics. The 1920-21 season has been entirely successful from this standpoint.
BASEBALL
The Inter-class baseball series of 1920 was exceedingly interesting. Class rivalry was keen with the result that the games were hard fought. The series opened on May 1 when the Seniors snowed the Juniors under with a 17-0 score, while the Sophs came out winners in a well-played game with the Freshman, the score being 5-3. Two weeks later the Preps were eliminated by the Sophs to the tune of 20-1. This left the championship game to be played between the Sophs and Seniors and they clashed during the last week of school. The Sophomores came through with colors flying and brought home the bacon with some to spare, 17-6.
TRACK
A well-contested inter-class track meet was sta ged on May 24 and 25. This was one of the most interesting athletic contests of the year and was witnessed by a large part of the student body as it was the only track meet held at home during the season. The Class of '22 easily copped the honors in this contest, the final score being as follows: '22-66½; '23-39; '20-22; '21-15½. Peden of the Sophs was high scorer with 35 points; George of the same class came next with 12, while Oppelt, a Senior, gained 10 points.
TENNIS
The Inter-class tennis championship went to the Seniors. The Sophs took the first match from the Freshmen in easy style, although Bancroft and Martin were ineligible for inter-class contests. The second match also went to the Sophs, the Preps being the victims. In the last match of the season the Seniors forged ahead by taking one series of singles and the doubles.
SCRAP DAY
The annual Scrap Day Contests were held on Wednesday, Oct. 6. The Freshmen started out strong, taking the relay race by a safe margin. When it came to the tie-up, however, Freshmen stock took a slump for the second year men were victors in that event after a battle lasting twelve minutes. With the score a tie, the warriors repaired to Alum Creek in the afternoon to test their merit as to strength in tug-ofwar. The rope had been stretched across the creek and the sight of the cold water reminded the Sophs so forcibly of the previous year when they had had a ba th, that they were able to hold their ground and in about four minutes had the yearlings splashing about in the chilly waters of Alum Creek. Thus did the Sophs win Scrap Day.
SOCCER
The sec ond contest of 1921 was the Soph-Frosh Soccer game. This game, played on November 15, was intensely interesting, the final result being in constant doubt till the close of the game. The Sophs finally won the affair by a 2-1 score.
FOOTBALL
On Tuesday, November 23, the Sophomores and Freshmen met on the gridiron in a tilt marked for its keen class spirit. The field was muddy but the football ability demonstrated was of a high order. The Sophomores had to depend on their heavy linesmen, but the fleet-footed backs of the Fresh more than evened matters. The yearlings took the game by a 14-0 score, Anderson making both touchdowns; the first score came as a result of a pass from Staats and the second after a 40-yard run around left encl. The game was almost up to inter-collegiate standard throughout.
BASKETBALL
The basketball series started on Monday, November 29. On that date the Sophomores defeated the Freshmen by a 23-16 score. The Frosh were in the lead at the end of the first half, 11-5, but were un able to stand the gaff in the second period. The Seniors took the Juniors across with a 13-7 score, the latter, though having several Varsity men, seemed unable to locate the basket.
In the second series of games the Sophs won from the Triangles, 27-3, while the Fresh'nosed out the Juniors, 15-11. The out standing feature of all these games was their rough football tactics predominating throughout.
The Sophomores completed their string of victories and took the championship by defeating the Seniors by a decisive score. The second year aggregation displayed real basketball ability and were deserving of considerable credit for their performance.

A NIHILISTIC NARRATIVE
Thump! Plap! Bang . Luminiferouslaughter! Magmloquentmusic! Thud! Splash!
And all was sacredota silence!
Ah! for days only rustic ruminationpervaded the hapless halls of the dormant Dorm. Girlswentaboutinsackclothandashes,pausing before each plate glass door to shed their temporary tears. No smile filled the fissiporousfacesofthoseamorous Cochranites. Some outsiders declared that the measles had been matricidal; others that the water was mossy. However that may be, we repeat, the measly maidens wore no stentorain smiles.
Why?
It's not for us to reason why! Quoth the Raven, "Never more."
Butnow, laughterleapedfron:i floortofloor; giggles gushed from alcove windows and all was mirthy mirth.
Then after a delicious dive into a dresser drawer and a grim gaze up and down the hazardous hallway, a gregarious underclassman tore unceremoniously toward the catelectic goal.
But alas! Her speed was retroverted. She utteredasophomoricalsniggerbutsoonfound herself in the clawed clutches of a stimulated Senior.
By the gods! A fight! A ferocious, fomentous fight! Hair flew, blood streamed, teeth gnashed, bones cracked! The Senior's disputable dignity was wafted up in a distilled draught. Her false ear puffs fell to the floor in everlasting disgrace, and her ruinous rouge smeared from ear to ear; she bit herself with her own false teeth and found that her cork arm had come unscrewed! Poor disseminated damsel! Whatwas she to do!
While she paused to powder this preposterous point, her sly little sister slipped stridulously aroundher and found refugebehind the desirable door.
A demoniacal scream, a scrambled shriek, a hypochondrical gurgle-
And then-a ministerial peace broken only by the soft patter of many herculean feet.
Thud! Splash!
A contented chuckle!
It was bathingtime in the Dormitory.

Thereasonwhywedon'tpulltogethermore is that we are always ready to talk without the least sign of backing our intentions with action.
