First Game on Friday

Last Wednesday morning at the regular chapel hour. Thanksgiving services were held by the student body. Dr. Dimnent, presiding, opened the meeting by a short talk on chapel exercises and the^r relation to college life. "Chapel," he said, "is a part of college training and personal worship, a necessity to one's every day life." Later he very pleasantly surprised us by the announcement t h a t J. Ackerman Coles, who has been such a good friend of Hope in the past, had made the College a g i f t of an entire new set of hymn books. The old books were in a r a t h e r sorry condition for some time, and consequently, the much needed g i f t was greatly appreciated. The volume is entitled, "Hymns f o r the Living Age", copywrited in 1923, ar^l contains a very choice selection of K^mns, new and old. Prof. Hinkamp read the "Call to Worship" which is contained in the liturgy of the new book, a f t e r which the student body s a n g several of its beautiful hymns.

A f t e r two weeks of strenuous practice the Hope Ball-tossers are ready f o r their first battle with the Ottawa Athletic Association Team. This team is made up of f o r m e r High School and College stars and is capable -of g i v i n g . H o p e a real tussle. The two teams which will represent the college are made up practically of veterans and all these men have shown their old time form in practice games. Coach Schouten has picked the following 18 men as a temporary squad: Capt. Irving, Riemersma, Yonkman, Ottipoby, Van Lente, Poppen, Albers, Vai. Den Brink, C. Lubbers, B. Kempers, R, Doekson, R. Kuiper, R. Pleune, M. Lubbers, J . Voss, J . Foreston, T. Essenbaggers, F. Van Der Meer.

The student body gathered in the chapel immediately a f t e r Y. M. meeting. The Emersonian J a z z Orchestra furnished e n t e r t a i n m e n t while the final preparations f o r the burial were being made. As soon as these were completed, a parade headed by torch bearers took place f r o m the chapel to the grave behind the gym.
