The gioup had collec~ed !n answer to a call for try-outs for Homecoming Play. The play "The King Rides By" was written by Lee Owen Snook. and 1s of the Little Theatre variety. It is a roP.'antic play in the highest degree, but is at the same time human. On the side of romance is Jove, wealth, social rank, royalty, dash of crime and a full measure of adventure. On the human side ls Jove of another sort, loyalty, tr-JP..~m1ce, generosity and wisdom. These two opposing elements are well blended. After a battle of line-reading lasting for two hours Prof. Moore dismissed the group until final tryouts on Monday.

Two hundred seventy-five Freshmen gave the faculty ample opportunity to make Freshmen Week a success. This, the largest class ln the history of the college, assembled September 12, to receive the greetings of Miss Tear and Dean Dunning. Their first week left nothin~ desired for entertainment. The progrnm was planned to give the Freshmen assistance in selecting a r.ourse and to make them thoroughly acjualnted with the college. September 12 was a difficult day because the Freshmen examinations were given. However, the surprise party In the evening gave the day a delightful ending. On Tuesday the faculty explained what It meant to major or minor In various departments. Professors Ware, Benford, Winter, Palmer, Maxwell, Larson, Steck, Brown and H!ll outlined their respective departments for the Freshmen. Professor Tear told what in general a Freshman should consider when deciding as to his major line of work in college. The Dean's program dealt with the social problem on the campus.

Peru's second team journeyed to Paw. nee City Thursday, October 6, and tied the Pawnee City C. C. C. team 6-6. The Bobcat reserve team, made up mostly of first year men, outplayed the three c team, but lacked the quarter-\ backing and experience to have the needed victory punch. Plans are for this team, the bulwark of the. next few years, to play Dana college at a 1ater date.

" 'Gratia, Senor' is much more gracious than, 'Thanks, mister,' isn't it?" asked Lillian Boz, who was born near Venice, Italy, and came to America when she was eight years old. In her opinion Italian is more musical and romantic as a language than English. English has a characteristically practical, business-like tone; however, very beautiful prose is possible. "When you think with a language you have it-I think in English." Miss Boz admits she could express herself more fluently occasionally if she could use an Italian phrase or two. However, now she writes Italian with more ease than she can speak it. She keeps in practice writing to all her relatlves in Italy. Just as there is more chivalry and courtesy in the Italian language, so

is there in the conduct of the people.

The majority of the students preferred an art club similar to that disbanded in 19-36 or a revival of the old club: The Art Club constitution was on dis~lay at the ballot box and possibly influenced several in its behalf. The American Federation of Arts was a c!Os~ second. With it are the privileges of a. subscription to the American Magazine of Art, two traveling art lectures with slides to illustrate and two traveling art exhibits each year. Since the results of the latter two were so close, a meeting of the eligible students will be held in the near future to definitely decide the issue.

DEBATE ENTHUSIASM SHOWN BY STUDENTS The debating season definitely started with a meeting of twelve interested people Friday, November 4, in the Little Theater. Professor Robert Moore, the debate coach discussed at this meeting the c;uestion, the amount and source of material to be assimulated and mast· erect and the debate schedule. This year's debate question has to do with government stimulation of business. It is better known as "pump priming." Professor Moore has received severa! invitations to tournaments, but the schedule is only tentative. rt will depend largely on the sustained interest and efficiency of the debaters. Besides the practice debates, plans are being made to attend three major tournaments before the state tournament. next spring. ".The interest shown and the available material to study is ·quite superior to that of last year, "Professor Moore commented today.

Through government assistance various c.ourses are greatly bene5.ted, but courses such as the SmithHughes would be better adapted if there weren't so much of that governmental assistance, thinkS Mr. Schindler. Also he thinks the teacher retiri;ment plan does much to protect not only the teacher but the younger students as well. The broadening of the tax base is another point to be considered for, says Mr. Schindler, "the spot ls not so white when you look at it from the educational point of view. '

As· a conclusion Prof. Thorson told what the western democracies could do to salvage themselves: He said, "They must r edefine and reconstruct, in dynamic terms, the economic and spiritual concepts which they . offer as an alternative to Nazi idealogy; . they must solve the tremendous problem facing democracy and they must redress the greviances within the western democracy which have been Hitler's most effective allies. Democracy must prove its right to live."

ROSH CAMERA CLUB ~EVELOPS SNAP SHOTS Dancer's Party Plans Include College Band Members of the newly named Camera Club spent a very enjoyable meeting printing six rolls of film supplied by several of those present. A resolution was adopted whereby any person, upper-classman, freshman or faculty member, is invited to attend the meetings. Upon payment of fees, each is given the right to participate in activities other than membership and voting privileges. The motion calling for construction of a printing box was passed unanimously. Construction is to be car·ied on by members of the club and he cost is to be taken from the general fund. Noel Lundy was selected as the Club's reporter. LEARN TO DANCE 'The red letter night has been set or December 17. At that time many freshmen members of Learn-to-Dance Club will get a chance to show their alents as the annual fall party goes into swing. Cecil Walker's "Cornshellers" will provide the music. After making plans for this gal.a affair, the aspirants spent the remainder of the meeting by getting the real idea of dancing. Margery Evans, the piano player, gave her swing arrangement of the color song to which all danced and sang to close the evening's entertainment. PERSONALITY CLUB 27 members attending. Personality Club last Thursd~y rught _Jearned that personality 1s really d~splayed in part by the correct stylmg of clothes. Miss Dotothy Lavigne led an inter.esting discussion on this phase as to campus wear. Assisting her were members of the club acting as models. 'The program for the evening ineluded a piano solo by Grace Muenchau. Honor guest of the evening was Miss Grace Tear, general advisor of all freshmen clubs. As a contribution to. the club, she ·gave a talk on color combinations in relation to each individual's personality.

TED SHAWN COMPANY PRESENT 'O LIBERT AD' Ted Shawn With a company of eight presented the epic spirit of America in a dahce, "O Llbertad," Saturday night. All the music for the theme was composed and played by Jess Meeker. Act I. THE PAST 1. Noche Triste de Moetezuma 'The ~tee Emperor . . . . . . SHAWN The Bearer of Bad Tidings ....

'The opening scene depicted the fateful night when the invading Spaniards had invited a great number of that mighty Aztec' Emperor's chieftains to a magnificent banquet, in order to slay them treacherously. In an atmosphere of foreboding Moctezuma with his bodyguard of princes received the news of the disaster. He ordered the bearer of bad tidings to be used as a human sacrfiice and carving out the heart himself, read the omens of the god&-the unmistakable signs of the doom of his empire. Alone and grieving on his throne, he · heard the chant of Christian priests approaching. One of them, Father Olmedo, entered to present him the Cross to kiss. Meetezuma replied, "I have but a few days to live; and will not at this hour desert the faith of my fathers." Choosing this episode as the crucial moment of the impact of the European civil!zation upon the indigenous one, Mr. Shawn has created a dance scene of barbaric splendol and bitter tragedy. 'The second scene depicted a Good Friday celebration of a fanatic sect of iFran.ciscans;. while chrOMlogically out of order, it showed str!klng contrast the effect of the new civilization upon the indigenous peoples. Los Hermanos Penitentes, the penitent brotherhood, on each Good Friday lash themselves wit!). thongs into which cactus is woven, and going out to a lonely hill, crucify one of. their number. Sometimes the crucified one actually dies upon the cross; his shoes, taken from his feet, are borne to the doorStep of his parents, by which they learn the sad news. Peonage ls a dance based up01;1 a labor rhythm of Mexican peons working in sugar refinery-~being anottier re~ult of the Spanish dominion of Mex!CO.

the youth of America to the battle fields of France. 'The soldier himself, sincerely fooled by patriotic propaganda, continued to spread the gospel of hate abroad like poison gas until he finds himself in the trenches. In No Man's Land the group represented abstract elements of modern warfare, which the Soldier experienced, as symbol of the millions who fought and died. After hostilities ceased, the Soldier, wounded and broken, still believed he would return to his native land a hero. But everyone wanted to fcrget. The Soldier unabl~ to ~ontact his fellow men wandered off, lonely and forgotten, to a veterans home to die, embittered, his last illusion gone. Jazz Decade was depicted by eight masked figures in the cheap rhythms which were aftermath ·of the war. 'This frenzy mounted during a period of false prosperity until youths were frightened by Depression. "Modernism"' was Mr. Shawn's satire on the most fanatic of the "modern" dancers. Slipping out of the horrid robes of Depression arid revealing a costume ~ymholic of restored wealth and prosperity, he danced to the latest popular rhythm of todij-Y and did "Another Waltz in Swing Time" indicative of Recovery. Decathlon in Suite of Sport Dances depicted broad jump, shot put, discus, the hurdles, javelin,· running events, high jump and the pole vault. The act ended with most amusing and typically American outburst:; of htrnor--a "March of the Veteram of Futi re Wars" in which infant sol •le ·s paraded with bags of poppy seed, asking for the bonus due them for the wars they may have to fight in years to come.

According to Gilbert Muray, the Mo!'pal was the ancient art form which included rhythmic movement, instrumental music, singing poetry and drama. Strife, Love, Death and the 'Things Beyond Death constituted the subject matter of the ancient Molpai.

THE PERO PEDAGOGIAN

Watch the Bobcats Battle - - Tarkio "FIGURES DO NOT LIE" SAYS PROF. C. A. HUCK

BOBKITTINS WIN 20-19 i OVER AUBURN BULLDOGS

Peru Beats Doane 40-3 2 In First '39 Game

Friday night, January sixth, the fighting Bobkittens of Peru Prep won a thrill packed game that spelled drama with a capital D throughout its duration of play.

"Phog" Sheely's boys of the second team were not so successful, losing their first game of the immature season 17-12. Hayes starred for Prep, lea.cling the Prep scorers with six counters. Banks, Auburn forward, led the game scoring with eight markers. Phog says, "Don't be discouraged,

<Continued From Page 1; Col. 5) the sciences," spoke Prof Huck, "During early development of the biological sciences, biologists were loath to admit the existing relationships between the two, but the assumed mathematical independence on the part of biologists was nothing more nor less than mathematical ignorance on the part of the biologists. As the name implies, biology is the science of life. Life itself carries with it a dependence on mathematics. The nature of the vast majority of all forms of life .are of a geometric structure. The Mendelian principle of heredity involves a knowledge of ratio."

In pointing out the dependence of psychology on mathematics, Mr. Huck quoted from the Weber-Fechne law as a direct application of the fundamental concept of proportion. He also showed of the value of mathematics in computing intelligence scores, in the comiling of statistics and in interpretIng statistical date. The relationship between mathematics and architecture is of a very close

making the balancing a budget Ill known to all, and this, too, requires a working knowledge of mathematics. "The aesthetic values of mathematics are closely allied with our everyday afta!rs. The beauties in nature display the aesthetics of mathematics." In conclusion, Pro!. Huck quoted from Dr. David Eugene Smith's "Mathematics in the Training !or C1tizenship", "Let us now Imagine, if we can, that by some cataclysm there should be wiped off the face of the earth tonight every book on mathe· matics, every mathematical symbol of any kind, every written page or printed sheet upon which a trace oJ mathematics appears, and every machine for computing or recording numbers. What would happen? Every mlll in the whole world would slow down and every large concern would close until it could replace its accounts, its statistical material, its formulas for work, its measures ,its tables, and its computing machinery. Every ship on the seven seas would be stricken with blindness

a skyscraper, because the steel girders would have lost their numbers; Wall Street would close its portals, the engineering would awaken tomorrow morning to a living death, the mines would shut down, and trade would relapse to the condition of barter as in the days of savagery. It ls a picture that is so ridiculous that we smile at its very impossibility. But it is a real picture, ridiculous though it seems.a picture of the world sending forth s. O. S. for help, a hurry call for the return of poor old mathematics, the unseen guest at every transaction, the silent listener to every conversation, the patient observer of every motion, and the ceaseless, sleepless guardian of every thought and deed."

"SWAMP SPIRIT"

TUESDAY, JANUARY 17, 1939

HAUNTS GONYO Years

Alter Appearance of P.S.'T.C. Campus Buildings

Superstition Rides in Friday "the thirteenth" Program , Friday the 13th was a very appropriate day for the one-act play, "Swamp Spirit" given for convocation by Professor Robert Moore's elementary dramatics class. The haunting "Chloe" interpreted by Marjorie Evan's piano solo and the darkened auditorium gave eerie atmosphere to the play. "Swamp Spirit" was founded on an actual event in the pioneer history of southeastern Missouri. When Spain was a power in the new world, a man attempted to found an empire with New Madrid, Missouri, as it's capitol, but plans for the empire failed from lack of support.

BY ALICE peVORE Did you ever notice the old house just across the street north from the photograph studio? In it, you will see the humble beginnings of our college. Or did you ever notice the picture of a large house, hanging '.JD the east wall cf the college offlce? It is a piv ture of the present Mu~ic hall at birtL As it appears there, it was the president's residence. Then it became the library, with the addition of a wing. Later wing number two was addedafter a library was built-and the building became the science hall. After our present Science Hall was built, it stood vacant for a few years. Then it was remodeled to make the Music Hall of today. That building has served its purpose well.

The scene of the play was laid in the two-room log-cabin, home of Nathan Hanks in the Niggerwool Swap of southeastern Missouri in the early 1800's one night in late fall. Down through the ages, mankind has always fought an unending fight against nature. Many times nature has conquered him and crushed him under her feet, never to rise again. There, in that valley of the Missouri, man has fought such a fight against tremendous odds. Within this drama the forces of superstition and the spirit of the swamp itself, struggle against enlightenment. Predorninent in this struggle was the spirit of the swamp with death, plague, forbidding forests, and mysteries as powerful as its weapons. Frank Summers as Nathan Hanks, an early settler who believed his blindness was due to a spell cast by the swamp spirit, was as vivid as that of Mary Olive Richardson as Martha, his aged mother, who lived in mortal fear of the hideous powers of the swamp. Mary Liz Weiner, as Chloe, a mysterious girl whose personality wa.s held portrayed captive by the swamp Spi•i't u her superstition ridden existence superbly. Dean Karr as old Nathan's haughty son was a.n extreme contrast but still a lilave to his former life.

The site of the Science Hall is where the first Training School stood. The infirmary was once the home of the head janitor. The gymnasium once served in that capacity as well as a chapel. A stage was at the south end, and seats for the audience at the north end. The gym, floor much smaller than now, had goals at the east and west. There was also a balcony at the north, part of the braces of which remain. At this time, there was also an outside entrance to the swimming pool, from the front of the gym below the center windows. This was filled in quite recently.

Recognized! A vote of thank~ to Coach Arthur Jones and "Spec" Nelson for f unpraised efforts and limitless time given by each to sustain a valued cause. They are combining their efforts to promote and direct a system of intramurals· such as has not been equaled in recent years. College men, who ordinarily would receive little if any healthfuR exercise are banded together in teams which at the present time are playing basketball. Games are scheduled for float periods1 and the competitive spirit runs high. Then, too, some man unsung for the varsity squad is given a chance to show his wares and not a few have worked part way up the ladder. Coach Jones and Mr. Nelson must be present at all games in order to make them function properly and it also falls upon them to look for boysi a little better than the average. Reports are fileclf of each game. At the end of the round-robin session, the winner will be given.a suitab_le trophy. , You can see these men have a job. -R. M Ho; Hum! Don't you ever stop . ro wonder why everyone begins to rush about wildly, why you can't find an ~:t11pty seat in the library, why the alarm clocks1in the dormitory go,,i;Jff from three a. m. until any hour before noon, and why everyone goes about with that pensive look? Well my not-too-wide awake freshman, you too, will catch this dangerous illness-too, too, shortly, For, wiith the end of the seme~ter, comes the chalking up of the fir~t page of your college life. But just a minute! Stop thinking about your grades Jong enough to wonder what you have actually accomplished. Maybe your grade card will show up a bright array of A's. If so, good enough, but don't let that be your goal. Instead, take inventory of your personal traits. Have you learned, in one semes:ter, that the art of living with others lies within the golden rule?

*~*~*"'-~*~*~U~*'ii RATS TAKE TO DRINK IN SCIENCE LAB.

Once upon a time there were two rats. They were very, very nice rats until they were led astray by Mr. Shuler during a physiology and hygiene demonstration. Having been on the water wagon all his life, Henry just couldn't hold his liquor like a nice rat should. Since he could not guzzle from a bottle, he was placed in a gla,ss bell jar and fumes of the beverage were sent into him. The rubber tubing that carried the vapor hung from the top of the "jug" and Henry leaned up against and clung to it with his paw for all the world like a traditional lamp-post Gus. At no time did he get "happy". Alcohol seemed to make him very tearful and sad. He constantly kept putting his paws to his .eyes and rubbing them down over his face. William Powell couldn't have done a better job of staggering. Finally Henry subsided into a deliberate and serious attack of hiccoughs. Josephine was given some chloroform. She danced on her hind legs excitedly at first with much the same vigor as Henry. That state of excitability characteristic to both drugs makes it necessary for you to be strapped to the table .before you are relleved of your appendix. Only a few utes were nee~ed to ma~e her drowsy and awkward m her motions. Alcoholic drowsiness was a great deal longer in arriving. Josephine was completely "tinder" and was taken out to reii:ain c@sciousness.

Fads and figures: Here are a few more facts about Peru from 1921-38 as disclosed by my wanderings in records and tabulations. Peru's low average in this 18 year period was 16.7 in 1922 while the opposition only tallied 14.7 in 1923. The high number of points by a Peru team was in 1938 when McCormick and Halla-. day led the scoring of 854 points. The low was in 1921 with 151 points. Opposistion's high was in '38 with 673 and the low in 1921 with 132.

Music

Education Series .'!' he influence of a recent series of discussions in the Nebraska Edcicational Journal 'Whither Music sducation" h as :n ad e itself l:nown through a number of fan letters received by the author, Professor G. H. Steck. In these articles Prof. Steck has ventured to show that the present highschool graduate is poorly qualified for further M)rk toward music teaching because of the inadequate ~raining offered by the highschool music courses. Students acquire a flippant attitude toward music as if it were something to "play at" rather than to enjoy and appreciate. Prof. Steck contends that children are urged to participate in many musical activities, are encouraged to buy expensive instruments and, as a result, reach no degree of efficiency in any one line of musical interpretation. In the forthcoming issues of the Nebraska Education Journal Prof. Steck will present a plan whereby music education may be improved to include an inspirational value to the pupils-through which students can be led to appreciate music because of the actual enjoyment attached. After reading the articles, the editor of the Educational Music Magazine published in Chicago, Illinois, states: "I believe that the message you are furthering should be brought to the attention of music educators over the entire country. What you say applies to a wider field than Nebras~a. From Chadron comes the remark: "Your article in the current Nebraska Educational Journal is worthy of high recommendation. Its thesis finds a hearty seconding from me."

Two years ago it was stopped for financial reasons and a historical pageant directed by Pi-cf. D. J. Nabors, who was then Peru d:·amatic instructor, was substituted. Last year nothing was done to continue this Peruvian custom. Originally the Fete was financed by the Sophomore Class with the proceeds of their annual class play. 1n 1933 the class was unable to finance the plans and the other three classes contributed a specified amount to a May Fete fund. From 1933 to 1937, Charles R. Buckley, the noted violin when the custom was superseded by teacher who will give private lessons the historical pageant, all four classes m Peru during summer school, has had helped finance it. an article published recently in the As many alumni have expressed disnational magazine, "Violins and Vio- pleasure at the discontinuation of tb\s linists." commencement week activity, the adThe title is "Measurable Standards • ministration decided to revive it t'.:is in Violin"Playing".

1939 MUSIC CONTEST INSURES HUGE CROWD Officials Find Necessary To Secure More Judges This year's M.I.N.K. Ml!sic Contest enrollment is exceeding all expectations. So many contestants have entered at the present time that the contest officials are finding it necessary to get more judges than they had planned to use. The contest is scheduled for the coming weekend, March 10 and 11. Even though a 25 cent fee is being charged for each soloist entered, it now appears that there will be as many solos as there wel\,in the 1937 contest. In fact, some of the. events are already larger than in 1937. The clinic system, a new idea in Peru contests, holds the center of attention. The large number registered for each of the four clinic groups, band, orchestra., girls' glee club and boys' glee club, will make it impossible for one director to handle all the instruction. Therefore, the heads of each of the groups will use highschool music supervisors to help in the direction of the group. The heads of the clinics are Superintendent S. L. Clements, band; Professor V. H. Jindra, orchestra; Professor R. T. Benford, girls' glee club; and Professor G. Holt Steck, boys· glee club. Some of those who w1·11 help ar·e·. J. H.

Only fifty invitations were issued to the leaders in this field in the colleges and universities of the United States. These men will participate in a round table discussion led by people of international prominence in the field. The Endowment will pay all the expenses of transportation for the delegates. This International Peace Endowment was founded by Andrew Carnegie in 1910. Mr. Carnegie set aside a fund of $10,000,000 in five per cent bonds, the income cf which was to bro used in the abolition of war. The Endowment is divided into three divisions: Intercourse and Education, Economics and History and International Law. The last division is under the direction of James Brown Scott who has served as secretary of the Endowment since 1911. It is in this division that Dr. Bi'own will work.

*~* But last week seemed to be the acme for unexpected statements.

Over 20 per cent of the student body -109 campusters to be exact-were interviewed by members of the PEDAGGGIAN staff to discern why the average student goes to college On the whole the resul.ts were discouraging, for with the exception of a few inteliigent answers, the reasons given were somewhat vague or showed lack of thought. By far the largest number expressed their desire to go to college because they wished to prepare themselves for the teaching profession. This was the reason given by a little less than onethird of the students in the poll that agreed to give no names. About 19 per cent of the campus expressed the desire "to learn". This group was but a few votes ahead of those who wished to be "financially independent". Nine of the students came because of parental or general family probings. This minor group was preceded

Jewish Rabbi Speaks To Convocation-Goers Dr. J. J. Ogle, a Jewish rabbi, spoke on the subject of "The Talmud" at convocation Friday morning, March 31. He received his M. A. from the University of Cincinnatti and his Ph.D. from the University of Nebraska. He selected the Talmud for his subject because, "It is with something of that purpose in mind, with a purpose of enlarging horizons that I bring to you this morning a brief and rather sketchy discussion of that huge complex of literature that goes under the name of 'The Talmud'. "What is that collection of books? Have you ever heard that name? At the best it is only a vague name to you. It is a curious literature. It took roughly about a thousand years to put together; it began to be assembled long before the cannon of the Old Testament was complete. "To many persons who know little about the inner life of the Jewish community, it is often assilmed that

"But the Talmud had a profound meaning to the Jewish community. As that literature grew and finally became complete, it offered to Jews scattered through the world a curious set of compensations. First of all, through that literature, they were able to exI-fain the history of themselves as a people from the time of the Babylonian exile until the year 500 A. D. "It became a great project in adult education. It was the ambition of men across the centuries to spend every minute of their leisure reading it, absorbing it. As a matter of fact, it occupied so profound a place in their life that they pictured ParacllSe in this fashion; a great school house where God sat at the head of the table with a folio of the Talmud spread out fore them and teaching them, expounding its ideas to the righteous men called to their reward. "Let's look at this literature, see what makes it up, how it came to be written and its great purpose. "When humanism started and fl.ourished, it was said this answered all the spiritual problems. In other times that literature was regarded as some evil; that reading it seduced men to ruthless action; that it was filled with black magic ,and time and time again collections of the Talmud were exiled to fire for public burning. It was regarded as a secret literature. "It is far inferior to the Old Testament. At the same time it is not a secret literature. It is secret in this sense: that the essays of Montesquieu might be secret to you if you don't know French. The Talmud is secret in the sense it is written in scholastic ((Continued on p. 4; Col. 2)

By the time his mother gets through embroidering the story, he has become a hero, a champion swimmer and upon his return to America, he is forced to live up to all this advance publicity. At his wits end, he secretly learns the art of swimming, first bi a correspondence course and then with a swimming instructor. He is forced into a swimming contest; he is forced to make addresses on the art of swimming; in fact, poor Douglas is forced to do everything that goes against his reticent nature Judging from the response of the audience the play enjoyed a fair measure of success and brought a large toll of laughs.

Burroughs, N.C.A.C. conference champ in the 100 yard dash, has also thrown the javelin 189 feet this year. Carl Randall, brother t;o Merle, is a good half miler, winning second. awards in the N.C.A.C. meet last year. Don't be surprised if Phil Lurk wins big points for the 'Cats in the vault ~ome the State Meet. Several very versatile men parti~ipated in the meet last Friday. Jack Sloey, Doane N.C.A.C. pole vault champ, won points in four events as did Max Quick of York. Peru's Leonard Greathouse scored heavily in three events, and Merle Randall of Wesleyan jjd well in three events. I see good things for Peru next year .1 track.

All sport has body movement beauty. Baseball has many-the bat meeting ball in a timely hit, the high leap of the infielder for the power drive above his head, a good pitcher's throw to the plate. Football has many including the downfield block and the hip shifting of an open field runner. Horseshoes, also has its beauty. lhis I was reminded of while observing Ernest 3rod, Auburn junior, pitch ringer af;er ringer one day not long ago. To horseshoe enthusiasts: Don't play Brod unleS6 you can really "toss 'em around the peg." Since Dean Delzell's time Peru State athletic teams have been called the &!beats. Last year the athletic club mascot died. As yet it has not been supplanted. But it should be. For the larger schools, Army has its mule and Navy, its goat-to mention two mascots that are top rankers of publicity. Alhough a smaller school, Peru State should have its symbol, too. With Harry Johnson, radio station KFAB's ace man of sports and Gene Shumate, station KMA's announcer of b:::ll lingo, three weeks under way with the describing of baseball games, my guess as to the standing of the major leagues, come time for the world ser.es, appears late._ But better late than not at all, so here goes:
