The late Thomas Riley Marshall, who was Governor of Indiana, and for two terms Vice-President of this country, through his prominence naturally received many honorary degrees from universities throughout the land—but the diploma that “Tom” cherished was that from his Alma Mater—Wabash. Marshall wished to be remembered as a Wabash man, and to this end willed his personal library to the college. The result is the Marshall Memorial Room in Center Hall containing 1285 books, his framed diplomas, a marble bust of himself, a plaque, an oil painting of Marshall by Stanley Todd, his bookcases, and a picture of himself taken by a Wabash man. The 1285 volumes are divided into classes as follows: General Works, Philosophy, 10; A en it Sociology, 125; Philology, 13; Natural Sciences, 7; Useful Arts, 3; Fine Arts, 11; Literature, 344; History, 194; Biography (collective), 14; Biography (individual), 76; Fiction, 383; Miscellaneous, 3. Already the Marshall Memorial Library is greatly prized by the officers and students of Wabash—one hundred years from now its value will be inestimable. 18 7 Siuilaln aaa oe a Bae —— , Viet . fh ; i r ue ae : nf LY, ! , ee bone : psa (AMM a iy) = We a, o “ , Ms f eee Ss. oe FACULTY� ee Tite WABASH Gb UR” oy GQ: eee o G corge | 1E WES M A ckin t osh 9 I resi d ent It is fitting at this time, the last year for Doctor Mackintosh as president of Wabash College, that some idea, brief though it necessarily is, be given of ithe immense amount of service he has given during his lifetime. 1926 marks the twentieth year as president of Wabash College for Doctor Mackintosh.

CCS es Lae a CLASSES AS PF 6 Ow Edwards Sherman Bradley ‘The Senior Class OFFICERS President - D. P. Sherman Vice-President M. M. Edwards Secretary-Treasurer CG. T. Bradley The graduating class of 1926 has seen many changes in the organization, in the personnel, and in the status of Wabash College. It has been a witness to the passing of freshman eligibility in athletics—a measure when adopted which put Wabash in the same class in athletics with larger schools all over the country. Contrary to the prophecies made at the time of its passing, the rule has been successful, and the college has fared well and prospered under it. Conditions which followed the war were somewhat abnormal in the average college. These institutions each had its quota of returned soldiers coming back to complete their college work. The present class has seen the most of them finish, and inversely has seen ‘the college practically back on a pre-war plane. The resignation of Doctor Mackintosh, after his twenty years as president of Wabash College, occurred during the senior year of the class of ’26. Other changes have been made; some were disapproved and some were approved. Changes that were made by trustees, by students, and by the faculty. The four years spent here by this class have been busy years, packed with excitement, initiative, and enjoyment, and marked, perhaps, by progress. The class itself has furnished something to the college. It has placed its mem- bers in all branches of collegiate enterprise. Its confines have embraced students, athletes, orators, debators, writers, musicians—all kinds of students. Some were better than their teammates in a certain field. That is Nature’s endowment. Each attempted to give his best. That is ’26’s endowment. 35 Arick Nep WILLIAM ARICK W. BucHarp WELCH GrEorRGE W. Cross Welch Cross Broshar . : . . : - .

The class has contributed more than its share of men who are active in the classroom and on the campus. A large percentage of members of the Wabash athletic teams are members of the class. Representatives on the publications, the other organizations, in fact all the endeavors of college life, are juniors, and this activity augurs we ll for a good senior class next year.

Vice-President oe “ rye — : Sec tion Two of the Sophomore Class When the athletic season opened several sophomores went out and won themselves places on all the Wabash teams. They developed well in their first year of inter- collegiate varsity competition, and should be mainstays in athletics next year. In fields other than that of athletics the second year men showed up well, and were active in all lines of campus work. On April 17th, the now established Cotillion, given by the sophomore class, occurred at the Masonic Temple. Once more it was voted a success by those who attended it. In short this class is absorbing the spirit and main- taining the prestige of all Wabash classes, and from the looks of its personnel will bear watching in the future. pas, Diem uph Johnston, Jones, Leach, Leliter, Link, Loer, Long, Lyons, Me- allister, McDougal, MeCorkle, McDaniel, McMasters, Mason, Miller, Moeslein, Oliphant, Pietzuch, Pinkerton, Prail, Priess, Rahrer, Reid, Robbins, Robertson, Rowe, Rush, Sawyer, Selko, Servies, Shea, Shep- Urschel, pard, Smith, Snyder, Stevens, Suverkrup, Suydam, Swanson, Vilas, Viner, Wallace, Warbritton.

Some of them made up the freshman athletic squads, others carried copy and got ads for the Bachelor, others trained their voices and made the Glee Club, in fact, they almost filled to over- flowing every college activity. It is too early, perhaps, to make predictions for them, but there seems to be no reason in the world to imagine that they will fall below the standard of other Wabash classes, and there is every reason to suspect that they, when their wings have been stretched a little more, will ably carry on when the time comes, with the burden of running the college from the student standpoint.

SCHOLLER Director af Athletics Two years ago, when the Athletic Department was reorganized, Harry Scholler was made director of athletics, in addition to retaining his position as head coach of baseball. Coach Scholler needs no introduction to Wabash men, or people of Crawfords- ville, in the capacity of baseball strategist. He knows the game from the ground up, and has a state- wide reputation for turning out winning teams. Under his care the department is rounding into good shape. It is coming along well financially, as well as attaining to a high degree of efficiency. Such a condition of affairs is sure to attract “athletes from the high schools of the state. FRANK R. REESE When the football season opened last fall, a new face was noted on the coaching line. Frank Reese, assistant football coach, was the new man, and in his start in Wabash athletics did wonders to develop a fast, smooth-working backfield. Reese was used entirely as backfield coach and his value te the team was great. It is to be hoped that he will be retained next year. Reese is a graduate of Notre Dame and secured his football Ass’t “Peotha education under the redoubtable Rockne. He was a backfield man Coach on the famous Irish elevens of the past few years. 64, BURDETTE K. HUFFINE Business Man ager, Athletics “Huffine” is the business manager for the athletic department, and in that capacity carries a great share of the burden. Mr. Huffine is also a member of the coaching staff in that he has charge of freshman athletics and coaches the first year football, basketball, and baseball squads. A large part of Huffine’s work comes in lining up athletes for Wabash. Most of his summer is spent writing promising men all over the state and personally interviewing many of them. M. B. Tauer, Track Coach AY ho Tauer was brought here the first part of the year to coach the track squad and to take the place of former Coach Higgins. Although it is too early to make predictions, from the way the squed is shaping up prospects look excellent. Tauer is a track man himself, having run with the Purdue track team. A full schedule for his irack men has been arranged for this spring by Tauer. This schedule includes meets on nearly every week-end, with the finales of the season the Little and Big State Meets. The Scarlet, from the appearances of the material working out, should give a good account of itself in these meets. Coach Huffine has been especially invaluable to the athletic department as a scout. He scouts most of the important football games for the college.

Englehardt Vice-President : - : - : - - Ge Gal arr Secretary-Treasurer . - . - - F, L. Thompson This association is purely an honorary body and comprises the entire student body. Each year three officers, a president, a vice-president, and a secretary-treas- urer, are elected by the students during a chapel period given over especially for the occasion. Technically, the Athletic Association is in charge of the relations of the students to the college athletics. The organization, in addition to this mentioned function, attempts to interest high school graduates, who have gained recognition in athletics, into attending Wabash, and to this end sends out letters over the state. The three officers who were elected at a special chapel held early last fall and who have served for the entire year are: President, C. H. Englehardt; Vice-President, C. C. Parr; Secretary-Treasurer, F. L. Thompson. As is always the case, men who are elected to fill the cabinet of the Athletic Association are prominent athletes. Englehardt is captain of this year’s basebail team, and has played in the infield for four years. He is also a first string basket- ball man, and has won two letters in that sport. Parr is one of the best half backs playing on the Scarlet eleven. He was men- tioned on several all-state elevens last fall and was even given honorable mention by one paper for all-American. Parr is also a track man, and has won his letter in the dashes and the broad jump. Thompson gained athletic prominence on the basket- ball five, having played forward while Chadwick was in college, but upon the latter’s leaving, was shifted to cen- ter. He is also a track and baseball man. A Study in Scarlet An interesting study of the two Scarlet football mentors is shown in the accompanying cut. The picture also gives some idea of the rainy weather that was enjoyed steadily throughout last fall’s football season.

They automatically become mem- hers of the club when they have acquired their first letters, and are officially on the | roll of this organization until they have graduated from Wabash. LY The Club attempts to maintain a spirit of good will and clean sportsmanship among the athletes of the school, as well as endeavoring to keep politics of any form : out of varsity athletics. In the latter phase they have been indeed successful as yN Wabash to date has been fortunate enough to keep all organizations from entering into choice of captains and other positions of vital importance to its successful athletic teams. | The letter men are also particularly active in drawing the cream of high school athletes to Wabash. Each menber of the club is automatically a committee to secure as many good men as possible fron the particular section of the country from which he comes. This method of approach to high school stars has been indeed suc- cessful, and Wabash has been exceedingly fortunate in the last few years largely due | to the efforts of the men that wear the varsity “W” It is impossible to include the entire list of members in the organization as men : will continue to win letters until the close of the 1925-1926 school term and auto- matically will be on the roll of the organization.

Mulbarger i Gordie Helm Dobbie Melson Sherman, President Athletic Resume The year of 1925-26 saw Wabash represented by as fine a group of athletic teams as have worn the Scarlet in recent years. Wabash because of its limited en- rollment was often forced to compete against teams representing much larger schools. Glorious victories were intermingled with bitter défeats but regardless of the ultimate outcome of the game the Scarlet teams always fought, and when they left the field of battle it was with the knowledge that they had given their best and whether victorious or defeated their performance brought honor to the name of Wabash. In baseball the major branch of spring athletics the Scarlet team proved itself worthy foes for the best in the state. From more or less untried material Coach Scholler developed a team that won ten games, lost six, and was joint occcu- pant with Butler and DePauw of second place in the State Championship race. Perhaps the most notable victories scored by the Scarlet during the year were the decisive defeats of Indiana, the two victories over Purdue, and the five to one win over the Butler Bulldogs. In the minor branches of spring athletics Wabash was better represented than at any time in previous years. The track team won two dua! meets, lost one, was nosed out of first place in the Little State Meet, and finished fifth in the Big State Meet. The golf team did not lose a dual match during the year, and Denny repre- senting Wabash at the State Meet went to the finals in the individual tournament play and was defeated by Krasse of Purdue in a match that went to two extra holes. For the first time in five years a Wabash tennis team entered the Conference Meet at Chicago. Captain Hadley and Denny were the Wabash representatives. Playing in the doubles these two men went to the third round before they were defeated by the Ohio State team. They scored victories over Notre Dame and Michigan. 68 The 1925 football season was an agreeable surprise to the most optimistic supporter. Facing a schedule that inc luded_ the strongest secondary teams in the state and four teams of the Big Ten, the Little Giants were conceded to be in for a tough season. Five victories, three defeats, and one tie game, was the record made by the Scarlet against this formidable opposition. No team outside of the Big Ten was able to cross the Little Giants’ goal line. Wabash had a clear claim to the State Secondary Title by virtue of her victories over all State competitors includ- ing Purdue. Butler succeeded in holding Wabash to a tie, but her tie game with DePauw put Butler out of the running. Wabash not only attracted favorable attention throughout the Middle West as a team, but the individual players were given consider ‘able attention in the selection of All Star teams. Kipper Parr, Little Giant half-back, received honorable mention on the All-American team picked by the Detroit News, and was chosen as one of the twelve greatest football players in Indiana by the Indianapolis News. Besides Parr, Rush, Sherman, and Painter, were also picked among the twelve greatest. These same men along with Praill, and Captain-elect W eber, were chosen on various other All-State teams. The basketball season, speaking in terms of victories won, could hardly be termed a startling success. Despite this, however, no one would say that Wabash did not have a good team. Time after time she fought her opponents to a stand- still and with victory apparently in her grasp was nosed out in the closing minutes of play. Butler and Notre Dame were each credited with two-point wins over the Scarlet, and Purdue and Evansville both skimmed through with one-point victories. In the thirteen games that were lost, nine were lost by seven points or less. The outstanding performances from the Wabash point of view, were the victory over DePauw, and the win over the previously undefeated Manchester team. Captain Robinson. DeVol, and Dinwiddie were all given All-State mention. DeVol was the high point man Ge the season followed clozely by Robinson. Although it did not win consistently the team never quit fighting and furnished stiff opposition for all its opponents. 69 PeUeNR e E RRO OE IS bile Yen Lbs ae Tar = vga “ 1. iar. « ¢ = a. mats ys: a ee ee . 0 § OTHE WABASH GW: D Yell Jack Scott For the past two years “Jack” has been head yell leader for the college, having served his apprenticeship under the famous Africa.

W abash 2() Hanover () With Hanover as her opponents Wabash opened the 1925 season in auspicious manner, defeating the downstate eleven by a 20 to 0 score . The game was played on a muddy field that seemed to bother both teams considerably. Wabash was playing without the services of her regular full-back, and used nothing but straight footbali. Wabash opened the scoring in the first quarter when Cripe raced fifty yards for a touchdown aided by some beautiful interference on po the part of his team-mates. Robinson place-kicked for the extra point. In the second quarter, Vaughan substituted an entirely new backfield, and they tore through the Hanover team for two more touchdowns. Parr scored the touchdowns on off-tackle smashes. The last half was played in a drizzle of rain and was void of all thrills. The slippery condition of the ball and the field bothered both teams, and made any consistent ground gaining impossible. The brilliant open-field running of Parr added life to what would have been otherwise a dull and uninteresting contest. Wabash 15 Purdue U. 7 And then came Purdue!

However, they were doomed to disappointment, for a fighting, scrapping bunch of Little Giants battled them to a stand-still for three quarters, and in the closing minutes of play came through with a touchdown that gave the Scarlet a well earned 13 to 7 victory. Phelan “pulled a Rockne” and started a team composed of second string men, but Wabash soon convinced him that he had erred, and the first team � was rushed hastily into the fray. Their efforts were futile, however, and soon after the opening whistle, Rush smashed through the center of the Purdue line for a touchdown. Robinson sent a place-kick squarely through the goal posts for the extra point. The two teams spent the remainder 4 of the quarter in fruitless efforts to score with neither mak- ™ , ing much headway. At the start of the second quarter Purdue started a march down the field that carried the ball to the four yard line. At this point the Wabash line stiffened and held for two downs, but on the third attempt, Gladders went through guard for a touchdown, and Taube tied the score with a drop-kick. The rest of the quarter was fought in mid-field, and the half ended with Wabash in possession of the ball on the Purdue forty-five yard line. The second half was replete with thrills, and the most sensational football was displayed that has ever been seen in a Wabash-Purdue battle. Before Wabash was able to gain its bearings the Purdue team plunged and passed its way to within Painter Viner Gaining Yardage Against DePauw.

Here the fighting Wabash line braced. neld for three downs, and on Purdue’s fourth attempt to score Wilcox fumbled, and McCorkle, Scarlet right guard, recovered the ball back of the goal line. With the fumble Purdue lost her best opportunity to score. Purdue launched an aerial attack in the closing minutes of play. This, however, proved to be her undoing, for it was at this point from within their own thirty-yard line, in a desperate attempt to win, that the break that the Scarlet clad warriors had been so desperately fighting for, came to pass. With the crowd slowly making its way toward the exits, and a tie game apparently inevitable, Harry Painter, listed on the score cards as Wabash right guard, rose to the heights, and furnished a dramatic finish to a brilliantly fought game, when he intercepted a Purdue pass and aided by perfect interference by Sherman and Loer raced thirty yards for a touchdown and victory. W abash 67 Muncie Normal 0 Displaying the same high class football that had defeated Purdue the week be- fore, Wabash overwhelmed the Muncie Normal football team by a 67 to 0 score on Saturday, October 10, Everybody in uniform played, and nearly everybody scored. The Normal team was unusually weak, and the game proved to be a good practice session for Wabash in preparation for the Minnesota game. W abash 6 Minnesota 32 Launching an attack that would not be denied, the hard driving Minnesota team fairly swept Wabash off its feet and registered a 32 to 6 victory. Wabash was beaten, but never has the traditional Wabash fight been more in evdence. The Wa- bash line in particular was subjected to a terrific assault, the giant Minnesota backs smashing and battering the Scarlet forward wall until human flesh could endure it no longer. Not until the last four minutes of play, when the regular Scarlet linemen were out of the game, were the Minnesota backs able to break through for the two touchdowns thai assured them of victory. Praill The high point of the game from the Wabash viewpoint came early in the first quarter when Robinson recovered a Minnesota fumble back of their goal line for the only Wabash score of the day. The Scarlet showed one of the most powerful line smashing at- tacks seen on the Minnesota field in recent years, but the team was pepe 76 a R i . aa ee a ee re eg ate A Sea of Mud. unable to push the ball over when it was in scoring territory. The Scarlet backs crashed the big Minnesota line for eleven first downs during the game, while the Gophers were making fifteen. The brilliant open-field running of Cripe and Parr and the terrific line smashing of Rush kept the Minnesota goal line constantly in danger. If ever a team rose to the heights in face of defeat, the Wabash team did, and as it trudged wearily from the field—bruised, bat- tered, and in a dazed condition—it was hailed by Minnesota fans and newspaper correspondents as a foe worthy to battle the best. During the first half of the game Wabash fought their heavier opponents to a stand-still, Minnesota grabbing a seven-point lead during the closing minutes of the half. The Minnesota scores were the result of some hard line smashing by Peplaw and Joesting. Wabash was plainly tired at the start of the second half, and the Gophers soon scored their third touchdown. At this point Wabash braced and held the Minnesota backs for downs, and took the ball. They then started an offensive drive that took the ball to the Minnesota twenty-seven yard line where it was lost on downs. With five minutes to go, Cripe skirted right end, passed the line of scrimmage, evaded the secondary aetenae, and with a vied held ahead of him was apparently loose for a touchdown, but a Minnesota tackler caught him from behind and downed him on the Minnesota thirty-seven yard line. Wabash immediately opened a_pass- ing attack that proved their undoing : Minnesota intercepted two of the passes en- abling them to score their final touchdowns. The Indianapolis Star said of the game: “Although badly beaten the Hoosiers fought to the last ditch. The Wabash team never quit, winning the admiration of the throng by battling with rare courage until the very last, the LArelGeich of the con- test finding the Hoosiers in possession of the ball in Minnesota territory and making every effort to score a second touchdown W abash 0 Butler 0 We realize only too well that the statement—the game was a moral victory for “our boys’—is merely a feeble way of trying to explain a defeat or at best a tie game, but if ever a team did win such a thing as a moral victory, the Wabash team did in the annual Butler battle. ee The efforts of the Butler backs to pierce the Wabash line were i. ae Cripe a “a ee Se et , - } ¥ 7 wots = Cees EH 4 as EE mm oxi EC ‘ .

Eleven times during the game the Wabash team made first downs while the Pagemen gained only five. Three times the Scarlet backs carried the ball within inches of the goal line, | only to see plunging backs lose their footing and lose the ball on downs. Butler did not threaten to score at any time during the contest, seem- ingly content to play a purely defensive game. The game started when Painter kicked off to Nipper, who returned it ten yards before he was downed. Over-anxious, the Wabash line nn rst charged too soon, and three times Wabash was penalized five yards oit- hed i sides. The team then got organized, and began playing a punting | : , came, ever watchful for a Butler fumble. Time after time the line held : a y ®. Butler’s attack with scant gain, forcing Nipper to kick. When Wabash rs Johnson — secured possession of the ball, Cripe would punt to Butler on the first down. Not once did the Scarlet attempt to carry the ball until the | much sought for break came. | Wabash’s first sc oring threat came early in the second quarter, Cripe, who had | tel been averaging fifty yards on his punts, got off the best kick of the day, sending the ) water-soaked ball sixty-five yards down the field to the Butler ten yard line. Butler ) kicked on the first down, the ball rolling out of bounds on the Butler thirty-yard line. With Rush carrying the ball Wabash advanced to the four yard line for a first down Ka hd and goal to gain. Three times Wabash gained, but on the fourth down something ; went wrong, Parr was thrown for a loss and Butler took the ball. ; ry Then followed a punting game that ended when Nipper dropped Cripe’s kick e on the Butler thirty-yard line. Cheyne tore through to recover for Wabash. The march down the field started with Parr and Rush realene splendid gains. Two first downs were snapped off. The ball was carried to the Butler one- yard line, and again Wabash fumbled the slippery ball when victory was but a matter of holding on to ) the ball. Butler played its best football in the third quarter. Praill and Cripe were both carried from the field in this quarter and their injury weakened the Little Giants to Ka some extent. The Bull Dogs made their only offensive threat of the game in this period, and panied the ball to the Wabash thirteen-yard line. It was on nearest Butler ever came to the Wabash goal line, rs in fact it was the ey time they were in Wabash territory.

The Wabash backs tore through the Butler line at will until the ball rested on the one-yard line, fourth down and goal to gain. With the game at “stake, Rush smashed desperately into the center of the Butler line, but the mud afforded an uncertain footing and he was stopped inches short of the goal line. Wabash 7 lowa 28 Wabash 7; Iowa 4. When Wabash fans heard this news over radio, they refused to believe their ears—or rather their loud speaker. It was only the first half, and although the final score read, Lowa 25, Wabash 7, the Little Giants gave the Hawkeyes the scare of their lives, and Wabash won a real reputation at Iowa City. Iowa started the game by rushing the ball to the Wabash four-yard line but the Little Giants braced and held for downs. Wabash then started an offensive of their own and carried the ball into the Iowa territory before they lost possession of it. Again the Iowa team opened its rushing attack, and strode into Wabash terri- tory. Three plays carried the ball to the Wabash one-foot line, and again the plucky Scarlet line braced and held for downs. Wabash kicked out of danger, and Iowa again started their attack. It was stopped short, however, when “Swede” Johnson intercepted an Iowa pass and raced to the Iowa seven-yard line before he was stopped. A beautiful pass, Praill to Rush was good for a touchdown, and Parr place-kicked for the extra point. The rest of the first half was a punting duel with the Iowa punter outkicking Parr. Iowa scored safeties on two different occasions when Parr was downed back of the goal line when attempting to kick. “Worn out by their desperate first half fight, the Little Giants weakened in the second half, and the Iowa backs literally smashed the battered Wabash line to pieces. Fry, the lowa plowboy, smashed the center of the line for gain after gain, and he was ably assisted by Dauber, Graham, Rice, and Smith. Three times they crossed the Wabash goal line, and once Hogan of the Hawks dropped back to the twenty- five-yard line and sent the ball spinning neatly through the goal posts. By the time the last half ended Iowa had overcome the Wabash lexdsand forged to a 28 to 7 victory. Facing its third Conference opponent of the season, Wabash played high class football, and with better breaks would have un- dovbtedly played the Iowans to a much closer score. Fumbles and bad passes gave Iowa 11 unearned points. The score. 28 to 7, does not tell a true story of the battle, as the game was hard from i start to finish, and Wabash never quit fighting.

Water stood ankle deep on Ingall’s Field as the Little Giants slipped and slid their way to a pair of touchdowns and victory over the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College. The boys from the Windy City were no match for Wabash, and the Little Giants took it easy enjoying their first comparatively easy game during the month. The first Little Giant score came in the second quarter, when some consistent line smashing by Rush and end running by Johnson reselted in a touchdown for the Scarlet, Johnson carrying the ball. The final score of the game came early in the third quarter, when Viner intercepted a Chicago pass and raced thirty yards for the score. Parr place- kicked for the extra point. W abash (0) [lin ois Zi Mud—Mud—Mud—and Illinois, with a team that averaged fifteen pounds heavier to the man than Wabash, pounded the Little Giants into the mud for a 21 to 0 victory, Wabash fought and fought hard, but the superior weight of the Illini was not to be denied, and they smashed through their lighter opponents for a last half victory. Th e first half saw the Little Giants fighting their opponents on even terms. Illinois threatened to score at the start of the game but the Scarlet held within the shadow of their goals posts and then kicked out of danger. Toward the end of the half Illinois started a march down the field that resulted in a touchdown. Gallivan carried the ball across. A little later a bad pass from center forced Parr to down the ball back of the goal line for a safety. It had rained steadify during the first half and the intermission, and at the start of the second half players of both teams were hav ing great difficulty in retain- ing their footing. Until the latter part of the quarter an even battle was waged in mid-field with neither team making much headway. Shortly before the quarter came to an end Greathouse, Illini full-back, threw a long pass to Gallivan, who raced to the Wabash 17-yard line. Four plays scored a touchdown with Galli- van carrying the ball across. The last quarter was a repetition of the third; Wabash holding the Illini until the closing minutes of play. when Stewart went around end, reversed the field, and raced about fifty-five yards for a touch- down. It was a beautiful play, and was the one made famous by “Red” Grange. Geraldeau Yerger O O Three Yards Off Tackle. | Ka The famous “Red” was kept out of the game until late in the last quarter, when img Zuppe put him in for a short time. He was given no chance to distinguish himself 4 in any way. It was his last game in the Illinois stadium. ; The Indianapolis Star said of the game: “Pete Vaughan’s Little Giants ended ; their Big Ten series of the season at Illinois Saturday with a record i of one victory and three defeats. The Illini trounced them on a muddy field, 21 to 0. It might have been worse. The Cavemen have given a good account of themselves in all of their games with Con- ference elevens. It required a balance of courage and sportsman- ship to take on four games in the course of a season all of which are rather certain to end in defeat. The Little Giants have that balance.” DeBard | Wabash 22 DePauw 0 A fitting close to a successful season was the DePauw game played on Ingall’s Field the 21st of November. It was Homecoming and the largest crowd of the year was on hand to see the game, and a great game it was. DePauw, with a rather un- successful season behind it, was out for blood, and it was fighting hard to redeem itself in the eyes of its supporters. Wabash was fighting ‘equally hard to close the season in a blaze of glory. With both teams at “their best, it was a question of football strategy and physical condition, and Wabash was clearly the superior in both. The first half was featured by one of the greatest offensive exhibitions seen on Ingall’s Field in many a year. Led by Gipson, the Little Giants smashed and ripped theix way through the DePauw team for gain after gain. Sixteen of the twenty-two Wabash points were scored during the first half. Sturtridge, the flashy Tiger half, added color to the game from the DePauw standpoint w hen on two different oc- casions he broke away for long runs, but with the ball in scoring territory the DePauw backs were helpless, and for the sixth consecutive year the Tigers failed to cross the Scarlet goal line. From the very first the game was not in doubt, and while DePauw fought hard they were simply outclassed. The field was dry, the sun was shining, and Wabash let loose such a flood of new plays that DePauw was completely bewildered. For the first time Wabash used the “huddle” system. Painter kicked off to Sturtridge to start the game and after DePauw had failed to gain, Anderson kicked to mid-field. Cripe Robertson ripped off six yards on two plays. Gipson broke through’ tackle for 81 4 Getting Through for a Gain. twenty-five yards. It was splendid advance notice of the work “Gippie” intended to do in his last game for Wabash. Wabash could not gain, and an attempted pass on the fourth down failed, DePauw taking the ball on their twelve yard line. An exchange of punts followed, with Cripe having the edge. It was-at this point that Sturtridge took the ball on his own twenty-yard line and raced forty yards before he was tackled. Sturtridge threw a beautiful forward pass, but the pass never reached its destination, Gipson grabbed it out of the air, and aided by some beautiful interference, raced fifty yards down the side line for a touchdown. “Red” Robinson kicked goal. Later in the quarter DePauw was forced to kick from near their own goal line and McCorkle broke through, blocked the kick, and fell on the ball behind the line for a safety. Score at the end of the quarter, Gipron Wabash 9, DePauw The second quarter saw a new Wabash backfield enter the game. Neither team was able to make much headway until late in the quarter w hen Wabash started a march down the field that carried the ball to the DePauw twenty-five yard line, where Parr kicked. DePauw returned the punt, and on the second play a lateral pass thrown by Parr to Rush was good for a touchdown. Parr kicked goal. Neither team was able to score in the third period. Late in the third quarter, Geraldeau recovered a DePauw fumble in midfield. Gipson made six yards, Rush made three more, and Cripe came around the end for a first down. Wabash was penalized ten yards and Gipson gained six of it back. A lateral pass, Geraldeau, Cripe to Rush carried the ball to the DePauw twenty-five-yard line. Gipson smashed through to the two-yard line as the quarter ended. Gipson carried the ball over at the start of the last quarter. Robinson missed goal. The rest of the quarter saw Wabash playing a purely defensive game. Four fresh men were shot into the DePauw line-up, and the Tigers played thew best ball of the game in the next ten minutes. After the Tigers had made two first downs Vaughan sent in his reserve linemen to check them. The game ended as McLain and Mulbarger threw Nesbit for a two-yard loss on the Wabash forty-yard line. Five Little Giants played the last games of their careers when they lined up Homecoming Day against DePauw. These men were: Sher- man, Cripe, Robinson, Gipson, and Martin. It is interesting to note that three of these five men have played four years of varsity football, ‘ having entered Wabash the year before the freshmen rule took effect. Cheyne 82 , ee nonmetal rasvemesiinan Bed Homecoming Game. Spring Football The spring training period began about two weeks before spring vacation and continued through some bad weather up to a couple of days after the vacation, when it ended with an exhibition game. It was started a little later than usual, and because of the weather had to be made more intensive than usual. The spring session is given over entirely to the fundamentals of the game. It is assumed that every man who comes out knows noth- ing whatever about the game, and the coaches work with this in mind at all times. The most elementary points were drilled over thor- oughly, and only a few advanced points explained. For the most part the drilling was on offense. About a dozen plays were given the squads and these formed the basis for use of the % blocking, interfering, and running that the coaches had to teach. Helm Little tackling was practiced, and the defense was coached hardly at all. The material which showed up was pleasing. The freshmen contributed almost an entire team to the workouts, and altogether material for about three teams was available. There was a dearth of halfback material, though what was out was good. Other positions were filled in good shape. About forty men were out for the spring sport. This number dwindled somewhat along toward the end of the training period. Weather delaying baseball and track teams here, had the same effect on foot- ball, though not to quite so great an extent, the coaches not particularly caring about the physical condition of the men with no games in sight till next fall. Rain and snow made a slick, slow field for practice and dulled somewhat the spirits of the men. April 6, was the day chosen for the exhibition game which was to end the spring training period of training. In order to make two clearly defined teams the coaches lined up the varsity men against the freshman varsity material and let them eo to it through all but ten minutes of a regular game. The varsity won, 21 to 0 : and received little threatening from the rhynie team. The game showed that the freshmen had something valuable to contribute to next year’s team, especially in the line. Coaching was under the direction of Head Coach ’ Vaughan and Assistant Coach Frank Reese. Vaughan took charge of linemen while Reese turned his attention to developing backfield material. It is practically cer- tain that these two men will direct the development of the Wabash football team again next fall.

Goodell Field was a sea of mud | which was a great handicap to both teams. Wabash was in scoring territory twice, | but did not have the punch to put the ball over. The Franklin Star said of the game: “The Franklin and Wabash freshmen played a scoreless tie on Goodell Field Friday afternoon, in the best defensive game of football played here this season. Both teams threatened to score, but the preneth of the lines of the two teams held the backfields from making gains of any length, and the game was a punting battle and fight for the breaks. “Franklin backs were handicapped by the muddy field, but played a very con- sistent and safe game. Fouch was bested in the punting by Hudson. The two teams were well matched in the line, and the game was practically a defensive battle. Kimes, at center for Wabash, was the outstanding individual in the line play.” Wabash 27; Rose Poly 0 The Little Giant rhynies kept their season’s record clear of defeat when they defeated the Rose Poly freshmen in the second and last game of the season. Wabash jumped into the lead in the first quarter ‘and the ultimate outcome of the game was never in doubt, the final score being 27 to 0, Wabash. Following the initial kick-off the Little Giants started a march down the field and scored a touchdown without losing the ball. Gra- ham carried the ball over on an off-tackle smash. Wabash kicked goal. The quarter ended with Wabash leading 7 to 0. The second quarter saw the Little Giants break loose again for another touchdown. During the second half Rose Poly fought a stubborn defen- sive battle, but was unable to prevent the Scarlet freshmen from con- tinuing their touchdown a quarter program. ‘Thornburg snagged a forward pass and raced over the line for a touchdown in the third quarter, while G. Caile ended the scoring in the fourth quarter when he intercepted a forward pass and ran eighty yards for a marker. As in the Franklin game the Little Giant line was impregnable. The only first down for Rose Poly came late in the last quarter by Huffine virtue of a long forward pass.

Although the places of both these men were hard to fill, Vaughan began to train two pairs of players for each position. For the pivot post he had Thompson and Dinwiddie who both, though they lacked the height and reach of Chadwick. be- came formidable at center before the season was very old. To take Burdette’s place “Pete” used interchangeably Engle- ao hardt and Cowan, both of whom displayed much finished work ate consistently throughout the season. With such men as Robinson and DeVoi the forward berths were wonderfully well taken care of. Both these men were among the fastest, surest forwards in the Middle West, and together are a combination to be feared. DeVol was high point man of the squad for the season, followed closely by Robinson. One of the happy surprises of the year was the development of McCorkle at back guard. It was thought that when Coffell didn’t return that he would leave a whole in the defense.

Led by Robinson and DeVol, the Little Giants scored at will, and the game soon became a question of how large a score Wabash wanted to make. Wabash 26; [owa 58 Iowa secured ample revenge for the defeat suffered at the hands of the Scarlet last winter, when they romped over the Little Giants for an easy victory. Wabash fought, but their efforts were fruitless. Towa displayed a flashy attack and a stone- : wall defense. Robinson, the Wabash scoring ace, was closely covered at every turn, and was unable to score from the field. The brunt of the Wabash attack rested on the shoulders of Benny DeVol, and the little forward performed brilliant- ly, but he was unable to defeat the Iowans single handed. W abash 2k: Indiana 3D The Indiana game was an almost exact replica of the Iowa battle. Wabash fought desperately, but was unable to stop the strong offensive combination dis- played by Indiana. In the first half Indiana jumped into the lead when Wabash seemed to be having difficulty in locating the basket. At the end of the first ten minutes of play the Hoosiers were leading by a twelve point margin. After that the Little Giants settled down, and outplayed their Conference opponents, but were unable to overcome the big lead. DeVol and Robinson again led the Wabash team in scoring. McCorkle played a steady game at back-guard, and kept the Indiana sharp shooters from scoring from under the basket. a , | Running Account of the Season | W abash ol: Evansville a2 Playing without the services of Robinson the Little Giants lost the first game of the Evansville series by a one point margin. It was a tough game to lose. The Wabash team held a scant lead throughout the battle, but some uncanny basket shooting by Harper, star Evansville forward, brought about the downfall of the Little Giants. DeVol was again the leading scorer for Wabash, and he was ably assisted by Dinwiddie. The entire team played good basketball and deserved better luck. | | W abash 28: Evansville 54 Evansville made it a two straight from Wabash when they won the second game by a six point margin. As was the case the previous night, the Little Giants were in the lead the big majority of the time, but were unable to stand the pace. W abash Of: Purdue o8 With the return of Robinson to the lineup, Wabash took a new lease on life and played their most brilliant offensive game of the season against Purdue. After their defeats at the hands of Evansville, Wabash was doped to have only an outside chance against the power- ful Boilermakers. However, the Scarlet played them off their feet, and © ; was deprived of a victory by a whim of fate. Bnclohardt 88 © © Es ¢ aS = ES ee n _ - af 7 ee I THE WABASH JY OO ..S It was the second one point defeat for Wabash in the period of a week, and was a heart-breaking game to lose. Robinson and DeVol were again the offensive stars. The “red head” scored thirteen points and his little running mate came through with fifteen. Wabash 38: DePauw 52 Smarting from the sting of five successive defeats the Little Giants opened the home season by defeating their ancient rivals from down the Monon by a 38 to 32 score. Wabash was fighting desperately to win, and their attack showed a machine-like precision that was not to be denied, while their defense forced the DePauw men to shoot from far out on the floor. Wabash played slowly and carefully, making every shot count, Robinson and taking advantage of every opening. DePauw, led by Puckett and ae Ward, played brilliantly at times, but was unable to score with any great consist- ency. The first half ended with Wabash holding a one point advantage. In the second half the Little Giants opened up and played a faster offensive game. Thomp- son playing at center for Wabash, found his basket eye for the first time during the year, and led the attack with four field goals. Wabash 50; Franklin 50 After playing rather erratic basketball in its previous contests the Franklin five came into its own in the Wabash game and smothered the Scarlet under an avalanche of baskets. Franklin was at its best, and Wabash was helpless. The team fought and fought hard, but Franklin was unstoppable. Led by the great Vandiver, Franklin forged ahead at the start of the game, and they were never headed. Robinson seemed to be off form, ‘and was unable to score with his usual regularity. Wabash 29: Notre Dame 4] In Notre Dame, Wabash found one of the strongest teams in the state. The Catholics known throughout the country because of their football teams, were repre- sented by a basketball team that bid fair to equal the reputation established by their gridiron teams. Notre Dame started fast, and with Nyikos hitting the basket from all angles, forged ahead, and had a comfortable eleven point lead at half time. At the first of the second half the Scarlet staged a sensational rally, and were within one point of the Notre Dame team before the latter scored. Once they got their eye on the basket again, Notre Dame again forged ahead and won easily. The second DePauw game played at Greencastle proved to be a rather listless affair with neither team showing much ability at hitting the basket. The game was even until the last seven minutes of play. Wabash tied the score with seven min- utes to go, but DePauw came through with the baskets that cinched the game for them. Wabash played a strong defensive game, but their offensive was feeble throughout the contest. Wabash 29; Butler 57 A crowd of two thousand frenzied fans saw Wabash battle the strong Butler quintet on even terms until the closing minutes of , play, and then let the ever elusive victory slip from their grasp.

Wabash 25: Notre Dame 20 The Notre Dame game played at South Bend brought the Wabash losing streak to five games. Wabash continued the sensational play- ing that featured their work in the Butler battle, and gave the Catho- lics the scare of their lives. Wabash took the lead at the start of the game and led through- ore out. Captain Robinson gave one of the greatest exhibitions of offen- Thompson sive basketball of the season. The red headed leader scored fourteen of Wabash’s twenty-three points. With only seconds to go and a Wabash victory apparently certain, Notre Dame snagged two long baskets that gave them the victory. Wabash 28: Manchester 22 Manchester the only undefeated team in the state, conquerors of Butler and Franklin, were the next opponents of the Scarlet, but were no match for the re- juvenated Little Giant quintet. The highly touted visitors brought a fast, husky outfit to Crawfordsville, but they seemed to be troubled with stage fright, and their shots at the basket were decidedly inaccurate. The only Manchester player who lived up to reputation was Kraning, giant forward. The big boy was all over the court, seeming to be everywhere at once, and it was very evident that both Manchester defense and offense were built around him. Opposing Kraning were five fighting Little Giants each of whom played brilliantly at all times. Wabash 45; State Normal 25 Imbued with the winning spirit for the first time during the season the Littie Giants won their second consecutive game at the expense of the State Normal squad. Wabash anticipated a hard battle, but the Normalites failed to live up to their repu- tation, and proved to be no match for Wabash. The first half was closely contested. The Little Giants seemed unable to ac- climate themselves to the State Normal floor and had difficulty in getting their passing game started. The half ended with Wabash leading by a small margin. i oie ____ ; “a a= so The second half saw the Scarlet, led by Thompson and DeVol, score baskets at will, and the game soon developed into a walk-away. W abash 2us Butler 27 And then came the high point of the Wabash schedule: the | Butler game played on the Cattle Barn floor at Indianapolis. Staging a spectacular uphill battle, Wabash came from far behind to tie the score at twenty-five all with one minute to go. In that final minute a pass to Nipper and Wakefield, and a perfect shot by the latter gave Butler the two points necessary for their victory the best Wabash could do was three points. Wabash called time menced to make things interesting for Butler. Robinson snagged two At the start of the game things looked easy for the Bulldogs, ¢ 4 and they romped through the Scarlet defense for fifteen points, while @ ¥ out and talked things over. When play was resumed Wabash com nna 90 Meee enn WVABAS EL : field goals, and a foul goal, and DeVol scored a short basket. Butler made one field goal during this time, and the half ended 17 to 10. In the second half, with Captain Robinson shooting from all angles, Wabash gradually pulled up on Butler. With a little over a minute to go Robinson caged a brilliant one-handed shot from the side of the floor for the points that tied the game. What happened then has been told at the first of the article. Although Wabash lost they made one of the gamest fights, in the face of almost unsurmountable odds, that any basketball team has ever made. The work of Captain Robinson was beautiful. The red headed star never gave up and fought with a rare courage until the last. And he was able assisted by the six other Wabash men who saw action. W abash 21: Franklin 34 Edwards The final game of the season against Franklin gave Wabash rooters little chance for hilarity. Franklin was on, and Wabash was off. Five shots in the first four minutes of play and five field goals for Franklin tell the story of the defeat. With a ten point lead Franklin played carefully and took no chances. Occasional flashes of brilliant dribbling by Robinson and spectacular long shooting by DeVol were the redeeming features of the game for Wabash. It was the final game for Captain Robinson, Thompson, Edwards, and Englehardt. They all gave their best, but Franklin was just too good. ‘The Season ‘The season was marked this year by unusual support from the people of Craw- fordsville, a large number turning out for each home game, and many journeying out of town for the nearby contests. In addition to this, the student body was con- sistent in its hearty backing of the team, a good feature in a season so full of sur- prises and reverses. Probably the feature game of the season was the Butler contest in Indianapolis, although the Scarlet was sent home two points shorter in the scoring that the Bull- dogs. When Wabash started its rally in the second half and flashed into winning distance of the Bulldogs, more than one Crawfordsville family heard the frenzied cheering over radio. A notable example of support for the team was given by the students and townspeople during the Manchester game. Manchester came to Crawfordsville, a highly-touted five. Manchester left Crawfordsville, a badly beaten five—beaten because the students and other spectators backed a flashy five the whole game. A heart-rending feature of this year’s season was the number of games lost by a one or two point margin; games in which a lucky basket near the final gun cost Wabash a victory. Features of the year were the playing of Robinson and DeVol, Englehardt’s eye for long baskets, and the rapid development of McCorkle to one of the best back guards in the State- Inasmuch as practically all of this year’s quintet will be in college next year, the season should be a successful one for the Scarlet. Thomp- son, Englehardt, and perhaps Robinson, will be the only men lost by graduation. The schedule, although not yet intact, promises to be a heavy one, with the Little Giants playing several Big Ten schools. Wabash in the past has always had one of the most feared basket- ball combinations in the state, and there seems to be no reason to suspect that she will fail that reputation for the season of 1926-27. 91 , F L few ee NER Ce THE RHYNIE BASKETBALL SQUAD THIRD ROW—Sites, Adams, Thornburg, Chilcott.

The two losses occurred on days when the frosh team was off form and its opponents were on. WABASH 25; DEPAUW 22 In their first game, the Scarlet rhynies tock a lead against DePauw at the start. At the half they were two points ahead. The game was marked by the Scarlet defense and its smooth offense. Harbi- son and Henderson ware high point men, with Taylor starring on defense. This was the first time that the Wabash freshmen have eee the DePauw freshmen. WABASH 37; FRANKLIN ; This game was evenly fought during the first half and at its conclusion the score was inened res el During the half both teams used a short passing game.

The Purdue team was completely help- less before the masterful pitching of Robertson, and at no time did it threaten to score. The scoring started in the fifth inning when Wabash counted twice. A single, an infield out, and two errors, permitted two Wabash runners to scamper across the plate. More Purdue errors and a clean hit gave the Scarlet two more in the seventh frame. and four solid hits accounted for the remaining runs in the ninth. W abash 9. Prest-O-Lites 4 Wabash stepped out of the realms of college baseball on Tuesday, April 7, when it played the Prest-O-Lites, amateur champions of Indianapolis. The Prestos put up a high class brand of ball but were no match for the Little Giants who came through with a cleancut 9 to 4 victory. Five solid hits good for five runs in the first inning gave the Scarlet a safe lead and they were never headed. Robertson pitched steadily for Wabash, and the entire team hit the ball hard. Wabash 8; Purdue 2 Some ragged work on the part of the Purdue infield coup- led with heb hitting by the Wabash players gave the Little Giants an 8 to 2 victory over the Boilermakersyit the second college game of the season. The Little Giants had their batting togs on, and hammered the offerings of both Purdue hurlers with apparent ease. Not until the very last of the game, when the Scarlet began to ease up under the certainty i victory, could the ane cre score, The game was all Wabash from start to finish, and it was just another example of the fact that Wabash can more than hold her own against her supposedly stronger Conference op- ponents. In turning back Purdue for the second time of the year, Robertson pitched a superb game and was never in danger Robertson of defeat. The superb defensive play of Wabash featured the game. 96 gah ue ates MONO oo) SOW ASS = ae Ee Ce - The infield in particular played sensationally. On two different occasions Robert- son’s wildness put him in a hole, but both times fast double plays by Dale, Engle- hardt and Fred Wyatt saved the sturdy hurler. While Wabash players went error- less in the field they committed several offenses on the bases which cut down their chances to score. Burdette, Wyatt, and Thompson led in the Wabash attack. W abash 12: Rose Poly 1 Warner took the mound against Rose and turned in one of the best pitched games of the season. Four scratch hits and one run represented the sum total of the afternoon’s work for the Rose batters. Eight times during the game Rose men fanned the air. Bennie DeVol featured the Scarlet attack with four hits in as many trips to the plate. Eleven stolen bases credited to Wabash men had much to do with the size of the score. el Ce EO VW abash Ds State Normal | Playing a brilliant defensive game and showing a powerful offensive, the Little Giants slipped and slid to a muddy 5 to 1 victory over the State Normal team. Robertson was in fine form, holding the Normalites well in hand at all times. The Little Giant victory was due to its ability to hit in the pinches. Jimmy Dale led the Scarlet sluggers with four safeties in five trips to the plate, while Coffel and Wyatt each connected with two safeties. Wyatt contributed some clever work in the infield. Wabash 35; Prest-O-Lites 95 After playing consistent ball in the first five games of the season the Little Giants showed a complete reversal of form in the Prest-O-Lite game, losing by a 9 to 3 score. Warner pitched the entire game for Wabash, and some solid hitting by his op- ponents, coupled with ragged support caused the downfall. Englehardt and Dale were the only Wabash players who were able to solve the delivery of the Presto hurler. a. My x | F is S Warner W abash 6: Prest-O-Lites 2 Wabash won the deciding game of the Prest-O-Lite series by a 6 to 2 score. The game was a pitching duel between Robertson and Gilbert, the Presto hurler. Two home runs by Coffel and one by Veazy were the deciding factors in the victory. The Little Giants were back in form after their ragged exhibition against the Prestos the preceding week, and the entire team supported “Robbie” brilliantly throughout the contest. Wabash 2; Butler 3 That sleek little animal known as the Butler “jinx” after six months of in- activity, made its appearance in the first game played against Butler. Wabash 2, Butler 3, ten innings was the result of the jinx’ labors for the afternoon. Try as they might the Little Giants were unable to overcome the combined efforts of the Bull Dog diamond artists and the aforementioned jinx, and after two hours of bit- ter fighting the Scarlet was forced to acknowledge defeat. It was the first defeat for Robertson in twenty starts and it was a tough one for the little hurler to lose. Six hits, and three runs were all the Butler outfit was able to show for its afternoon’s work, but those three runs were just enough to send the Scarlet home on the short end of the score. Wabash 1; Notre Dame 2 Too much Beston is the whole story of the Wabash defeat at the hands of Notre Dame. Beston was the whole show for the Catholic aggregation. Aside from holding the Scarlet to two hits and one run, the big pitcher connected for two hits in four trips to the plate, one of which was a clean drive over the cen- ter field for a home run, which proved to be the margin of victory for the South Bend team. Wabash scored its lone run in the last half of the seventh. A walk, a hit batsman, and two sacrifices accounted for the Wabash score. Notre Dame won the game in the eighth inning when a single and a long triple scored a run. A world of credit for the low score goes to Robertson. Although Notre Dame hit him rather freely, the little hurler tightened down in the pinches, Coffel and was invincible except in the eighth inning. Wyatt and Mel- son garnered the two Wabash hits. W abash 6; Notre Dame 9 Terrific hitting by both teams featured the Notre Dame game played at South Bend. The Wabash sluggers came out of their batting slump with a crash, nine solid 98 zr { = Na ar eee mast J: fb £¢ hits, one of them a home run, accounted for six runs, but Notre Dame amassed four- teen hits and nine runs for a clean cut victory. For the first four innings it was a pitchers’ battle, Ether team being able to score. In the fifth Wabash fimohied hits and scored three runs to drive Dawes! the Notre Dame hurler to cover. The Catholic aggregation came back with one run in the fifth and then tied the score in the sixth inning ied clean hits scored two runs. The lucky seventh opened auspiciously for the Little Giants. Three hits ac- counted for two runs and it looked as if the Scarlet was headed for victory. Its hopes were short lived, however, for in the last of the seventh, the Notre Dame hit- ters got to Robertson Ade the entire Wabash team seemed to go to pieces. Before they settled down again five Notre Dame runs had been chaséd across the plate and the game was lost. Robertson pitched the entire game for Wabash and was pounded to all corners of the lot, while Beston and Dawes, the Notre Dame hurlers, were not much better.. All in all it was a great day for batting averages, but it was a hard one for pitchers. The defensive w Srl, of Chew featured the contest. W abash 4. Rose Poly 2 Rose Poly brought a far pan team to Crawfordsville from the one that opposed the Scarlet earlier in the season, and Wabash was forced to extend itself to score a 4 to 2 victory. Warner started against Rose Poly for the second time of the season, and he proved to be as much of a puzzle to the visiting batters as ever. The defensive work of the Wabash team was the best of the year, but the men continued to show a lack of ability at the plate. Burdette and Englehardt were again the best of the Scarlet hitters and divided fete of the seven Wabash hits. W abash I; DePauw 4 One inning of loose defensive work and nine innings of feeble work at the plate cost Wabash the first DePauw game. Mass, the Tiger pitcher, was a complete mystery to the Scarlet batters throughout the contest. Wabash had men on bases in nearly every inning but was unable to hit in the pinches. is | id | ¢ E o It was the old story of a good team beating a better one. Aside from the fifth inning ee DePauw scored sneer runs it was anybody’s game. The only Wabash score came in the fourth inning en Wyatt crashed the ball over the centerfield fence for a rea run. Melson with two, and Burdette with one, were the other Wabash men to hit safely. W abash 10; Indiana Defeated four times in the last five starts, and facing a team touted to be one of the best in the Conference, the Little Giants were conceded, by critics, to be in for a beating. They had not, however, considered the traditional Wabash fight, and the Little Giants, disregarding all dope, pounded three Indiana pitchers for a well-earned 10 to 7 victory. Indiana never had a chance. Wabash was fighting mad and the Indiana pitchers were the ones to suffer. Coach Dean, of Indiana used three pitchers in a vain en- deavor to stop the avalanche of Wabash hits, but the Scarlet was not to be denied. Indiana opened the scoring in the first inning when a walk, an infield out, and a clean hit accounted for one run. The Scarlet tied it up in the last half of the second. A hit and three walks scoring the run. Both teams crossed the plate twice in the fourth inning. Englehardt’s single, a walk, an infield out, and Melson’s double accounting for the Wabash runs. Five runs in the sixth inning clinched the game for Wabash. Four clean hits, two walks, and an error scored the runs. The Scarlet added two more for good measure in the next inning. A hit by Chew, an error, and a long single by Burdette gave Wabash the two runs. It was a great day for Wabash, and the game was a fine tribute to the fighting spirit of the team. All of the Wabash players hit the ball hard, while Englehardt kept the stands in a consant turmoil with his clever work around the keystone sack. Wabash 4 Indiana 3 With Robertson pitching ai ball and the whole team supporting him in brilliant manner, Wabash defeated Indiana for the second time in a week. The final score was 4 to 3. Wood- ward, the Indiana pitching ace, although he pitched a beautiful game, was unfortunate in being pitted against a pitcher of equal skill, and as is always the case under “these circumstances, the breaks decided the winner. The first and third innings saw Wabash score all four of its runs. In the first inning Woodward passed two men and gave two hits that accounted for two runs. In the third frame two more passes intermingled with two infield outs placed men on second and third, with Dale at bat. He came through with a long hit to left center that scored both runners. It was Woodward’s own wildness that put Scarlet runners in position to score. Jimmie Dale was the hero of the day for Smith 100 aioe malon THE WABASH i Ee the Scarlet. The little shortstop came through with two clean hits that scored three of Wabash’s four runs, his long double in the third inning scoring the winning runs. W abash Ds Butler ] In a winning mood, by virtue of the two fine vicories over Indiana, the Little Giants hopped on Butler with vengeance, and handed the Bull Dogs a sound wallop- ing. Wabash was never in danger. She grabbed a one run lead in the first inning and was never headed. The most frantic efforts of the jinx brought no results. The entire Butler team was helpless. Their highly touted sluggers failed to slug, and Euwing, Butler’s pitching ace, failed to ace. Even Griggs : failed to come through in the pinches. Coffel was instrumental in the victory with three clean hits, one of them a double with the bases full that accounted for three runs. Burdette contributed two hits as his part in making the final score 5 to 1. W abash 4. DePauw 4 Bitter memories of the defeat dal them by the Tigers earlier in the season still lingered in the minds of the Little Giants and they were imbued with a determin- ation to win, but after twelve innings of play the comparative strength of the two teams was as much in doubt as ever, and the game was called with the score tied. The Scarlet outhit its ancient rivals, made fewer errors, but it was unable to push over the deciding run. Both Robertson and Maas were hit rather freely, but when hits meant runs neither team was able to connect with the ball. The large crowd that gathered to witness the contest was disappointed at the outcome. Wabash 12; State Normal 16 The final game of oe year played against State Normal, was typical of the entire season. One minute the Scarlet would look like a million, the next it would make the rankest of bonehead plays. Good baseball was intermingled with bad, and the final score was in doubt until the last man was out in the tenth inning. All in all it was a weird exhibition of the great national pastime. Wabash hit the ball harder than at any other time during the season, but it was woefully weak on defense. The offense, led by Coffel with four hits, and Burdette, Smith, and Englehardt, with three safeties apiece, contributed sixteen hits and twelve runs. This fine offensive work, however, was more than counter- balanced by ragged defensive playing. Thirteen State Normal hits, and five elaring errors on the part of the Wabash team, brought about the downfall of the Scarlet. OMCs: OCS SS GS (cS Se? Be + i Caen ss THE WABASH V Yq i | A View through the Campus Freshman Baseball Wabash was represented by one of the strongest Freshman baseball squads in the state last spring. Coach Huffine had charge of the yearlings and developed a smooth working machine that was capable of giving the varsity a eood battle, and that won the only intercollegiate games played. The work of the pitching staff in particular gave much promise for the future. Freshmen 2-DePauw l Some timely hitting by Merkley and Zink, and fine pitching by Geraldeau, proved the undoing of the DePauw frosh in the first game of the series. Geraldeau held the Tiger Cubs to three hits and one run, while the Scarlet yearlings collected five safe blows good for two runs. DePauw scored its only run in the third inning, and Wabash two in the eighth frame. Freshmen 7-DeP AuLw 4 In the second DePauw game the Scarlet showed much im- provement in hitting, scoring seven runs by virtue of nine clean hits. Rush was on the mound for Wabash and held the Tigers well in check at all times. DePauw’s six hits were good for four runs. aa Capt. 102 COO UIC SE OMEN OWN TRACK. MINOR. AND NT DA MUD AL SPORTS Track, 1995 ILLINOIS RELAY In years past Little Giant relay teams have established an enviable reputation for themselves at the Illinois Relay Carnivals, never fail- ing to win at least one event. This year’s team lived up to the repu- tation established by preceding teams when it stepped the two mile medley relay in 8:27.6 seconds, winning the event handily. Wabash was also represented in the mile and two-mile relays but failed to place in the money in either event. Gustafson the first Wabash runner secured a six yard lead, and the Wabash team did not relinquish it at any stage of the race. In fact it steadily increased the lead and when Johnson, the last Scarlet runner breasted the tape he was a half a lap ahead of the field. THE DRAKE RELAY Gustafson pang male One-tenth of a second! A scant space of time, but to the Wabash two-mile medley relay team, that fraction of a second meant the difference between victory and defeat. Running the medley in 7:43.9, the Butler relay entry in the Drake carnival beat Wabash to the tape by less than two feet. The Scarlet finished in 7:44, one-tenth of a second behind. The finish was one of the most spectacular witnessed at the meet, and coming, as it did, in the last event on Friday, brought the first day of the meet to a thrilling close. Sweeney, Nichols, Gustafson, and Johnson ran for Wabash. Both Butler and Wabash broke the American record for the distance. WABASH 83; EARLHAM 43 Winning eleven firsts, and tieing for first in another event Wabash easily won the first dual track meet of the season, by the lop-sided score of 83 to 43. The Little Giants clearly displayed their superiori- a he ty over the Quakers in both track and field events, and the outcome Tohnaen of the meet was never in doubt. The work of Krider in the weights, Sweeney in the dashes and the broad jump, and Sammy Johnson in the distance runs was the feature of the meet. Parker, Earlham quarter miler, won the only first place of the day for Earlham when he breasted the tape a winner in the quarter of a mile dash. WABASH 57; BRADLEY TECH. 69 On the first day of May the Wabash track squad, composed of fourteen men traveled to Peoria, Ill., for the second track meet of the season. Bradley with a squad of eighty-five men was able to enter fresh men in nearly every event, while each Wabash man was entered in at least three events. This superiority in numbers enabled the Bradley team to nose out the Scarlet by a 69 to 57 score. Canine, Johnson, Peare, and Krider took firsts for Wabash. Sammy Johnson was the individual star of the meet, winning the mile and two-mile easily. The prettiest race of the day was the quarter mile run, Captain Gustafson, of Wabash, and Cole, of Bradley, tieing for first place. | e B KA | g | ie | g | - gS | . a eo N 0) oS I OF (el a Pa a i r? WABASH 63; MARQUETTE 63 Worn out from the hard meet against Bradley the preceding day, and the long trip to Milwaukee, the Little Giants clashed with Marquette on Saturday, May the second. The meet was closely contested from the first, and ended in a 63 to 63 tie. Inability to take second and third places cost Wabash the meet. Sweeney and Canine with two firsts apiece were the leaders for Wabash. o i , WABASH 66; DEPAUW 59 The final dual meet of the season was held on Ingalls Field, with DePauw as the oppon- ents. Fighting desperately for every point the Little Giants came through with cleancut victory. The outcome of the meet was not decided until the final event, the broad jump. Wabash had to take third place at least to win the meet, and succeeded in taking both second and third, thereby clinching the meet. Sweeney, who garnered eighteen points, was the particular star of the day for Wabash. The Htile star shane: brilliantly throughout the meet, winning first place in the 100, 220, and 440 yard dashes, and sec ond place in the broad jump. The Relay Team LITTLE STATE MEET Smashing five records, winning more firsts than any other team in the meet, and then losing the title, were the pabulte of the Little State track and field meet, far as Rabies. was concerned. From the very first the outstanding athletes were Wabash men, and it soon developed that Wabash and DePauw cal fight it out for first place. With only the relay to run the Scarlet was in the lead. Wabash runners had broken records and set up new Little State marks, but the effort had worn them to the point of ex- haustion, and the Scarlet relay team finished fourth, DePauw getting second and winning the meet, 47 to 4434. Butler was third and Earlham fourth. First places won by Wabash were as follows: Johnson in the mile and two- mile runs (new records); Gustafson in the half-mile run; Canine in the 120-yard high hurdles; Sweeney in the 440-yard dash; Robinson in the pole-vault; and . Krider in the discus throw. Ls ee CEO CMO STATE TRACK MEET Notre Dame, the peer of Indiana college and university track teams in recent years, again proved itself to be without equal in state track circles, winning the State Meet with 43 1-7 points. Wabash put up a hard fight for points, but Sammy Johnson was the only Scarlet track man to cop a first, Wabash finishing fifth in the meet with 19 points. DePauw nosed the Little Giants out of fourth position, scoring 9-14 of a point more than the Scarlet. The Wabash scores in the meet were as follows: Johnson first in the two-mile, and second in the mile; Sweeney third in the 100 and 220 yard dashes and second in the broad jump; Krider third in the javelin throw; Canine fourth in the 120 yard high hurdles; and Gustafson fourth in the half-mile run. Wid CPP REeEE Le Ia Robinson 105 eco xy ED Mos (EB 6 a Howard Robinson Tennis 1925 Wabash 2; Manchester 4 The opening meet of the Wabash tennis season was played against Manchester College on the local court. The Wabash team did remarkably well considering the fact that two of the mainstays of the team were out with sickness and the short spring practice had scarcely afforded the men sufficient time to round into shape. Captain Hadley and Denny proved the strongest for Wabash, winning their singles matches. Both Howard and Yockey played good tennis, but they met with Seperated opposition that could not be turned back. Both doubles matches were lost. Wabash 2; DePauw 4 The second meet of the season was lost to DePauw by the same score as the Manchester meet. The DePauw racquet wielders won both doubles matches and broke even with the Scarlet in the singles. As in the first meet the weakness of the doubles teams proved the downfall of the Little Giants. Denny and Yockey won their singles matches while Robinson and Captain Hadley lost. Weacash 2: DePauw 5 The tennis team, crippled by the loss of Denny, who was out because of injury, lost a hard fought meet to the DePauw team. It was the last dual meet of the season, and every match was close and hotly contested. Captain Hadley defeated Thompson of DePauw, 6-4, 3-6, 6-1. The two captains staged the flashiest and fastest match of the afternoon. The other player to win was Robinson, who defeated Lockwood, 6-2, 5-7, 6-2. Red’s steadiness proved to be the deciding factor. Midwest Intercollegiate Tennis Meet For the first time in recent years Wabash was represented by a tennis team at the Midwest Meet at Chicago. Captain Ben Hadley and George Denny were the Wabash representatives. The two Little Giant stars won their “W’s” by winning their way into the third round of the doubles tournament. In the first round of doubles matches Hadley and Denny took Centilevre and Donovan of Notre Dame by defaults. In the second round the doubles team de- feated the Michigan stars Kirkbaum and Vose, in hard fought matches, 10-8, 6-4. This victory placed Wabash in the third round where it lost. Letters are not awarded to tennis players at Wabash, unless the team Hist a Big Ten school, and this year was the first in recent tennis history that “W’s” have been awarded. 106 So I eee (SN Peo Se AS «ls CS 12 na Varsity Golf, 1925 The spring of 1925 marked the first time that Wabash had ever been represented in Indiana intercollegiate golf circles. Early in the spring all of the men in college in- terested in the game competed in an_ all college golf tournament. The men making the best showing in this tournament were chosen for the varsity team. The men were: Denny, Gerard, Mountain, Shideler, and Martin. Gerard was elected captain. In the opening match of the season Wabash showed unlooked for strength, de- Shideler feating the Indiana University team by a 13 Mountain to 6 score. The match was played by Con- ference rules, the Nassau system. Shideler, Gerard, and Mountain, with six, five, and two points respectively, played the best games for Wabash. DePauw furnished the opposition in the second match of the season, and was sent home on the short end of a 16 to 6 score. Captain Gerard and Shideler played the best for the Scarlet, Gerard turning in the low score of the match, 77. A 13 to 6 victory over DePauw at Greencastle concluded a most successful season for the Little Giant golfers. The match was never in doubt as Wabash was unquestionably the master from the start. At the first Intercollegiate Golf Tournament held at Terre Haute on the 11th, 12th, and 13th of June, Wabash was represented by three men, Mountain, Denny, and Martin. Capta in Gerard and Shideler were unable to be present, and their absence prevented Wabash from entering the team play. All three of Wabash’s entrants qualified for the finals. In the first round matches, Martin and Denny won, and Mountain was defeated in nineteen holes. Martin lost in the second round, but Denny stayed in the running by virtue of his victory over Moag of DePauw. Denny then fought his way into the finals by defeating Redding of Indiana. The match for the state college championship was the most sensational of the of the entire meet. Wrasse of Purdue won the title defeating Denny, the Little Giant entrant, one up in thirty-six holes. Denny broke the record for the first nine holes in the afternoon. Golf is rapidly gaining favor as an intercollegiate sport and competition be- tween the Scarlet golfers is growing keener. Up to the present time no official insignia has been designed as a mark of recog- nition for varsity representatives of the game. It is hoped, however, that the athletic department in the future will see fit to give Wabash golfers some suitable award. A: E It is to be noted that at the present time many winners of tournament play have been drawn from the ranks of collegiate golfers. The Wabash representatives have made fine showings in all of their matches, and those remaining for this year’s play will bear watching. Gerard, last year’s captain, Denny, and Moun- tain will be eligible this year, Shideler having been the only member of the quartet lost by graduation. Although a schedule of play has not yet been Cornrd announced, undoubtedly one will be soon. ve _ ar 2 ee a E a a _ — 7 i ah . % 4, Pean: sua’ ay “at M é ‘Shia i a: ar bc; Oo a Se a eee Re Mi @ RAMS [: OD |S eee Intramural Sports In the year of 1925-26 intramural athletics at Wabash reached their peak. Under the leadership of Dr. B. H. Grave intramural sports have become an important part of Wabash life. During the last year competition between the various organizations has been keen in every line of sport; more men have participated in the sports than ever before; and the student attendance at every contest has been remarkable. For the first time in the history of intramural athletics at Wabash a large loving cup will be awarded to the organization making the best ail around record. This award, with the smaller trophies awarded in each branch of athletics, does much toward holding student interest. The basketball league conducted during the past winter was most successful. A class of basketball seldom seen in intramural athletics was played by all of the teams. For the third time in the last four years Sigma Chi finished on top of the heap. They went through the season with a record of nine victories and one defeat. The Commons Club were the runners-up, and were not put out of the running until the final game of the regular schedule when they were defeated by Sigma Chi by the score of 26 to 19. Following the close of the basketball league, the indoor baseball league was run off and the Karnaks won it handily, defeating the Delts 12 to 1 in the final game. H. McDougall, star Karnak hurler, won his way into the intramural hall of fame by letting the Delts down without a hit. The only Delt run of the game came by virtue of a walk and three stolen bases. The Karnak hitters went on a batting rampage and hammered Halsey, the Delt pitcher, for 15 hits and 12 runs. The offensive feature of the game was a smashing home run with two men on base, by “SPEED MARTIN.” McDougall, besides pitching a no-hit game, led the Karnak sluggers with four clean hits in as many trips to the pan. In the intramural bowling competition, the championship was won by Phi Gamma Delta, by virtue of its defeating Phi Delta Theta in the final match. As The Wabash goes to press before the annual intramural track meet, always a feature of the year, it is impossible to give an account of it. Suffice it to say that it will be a success.

PHI oe Phi Beta Kappa was the first American Greek Letter organization. It was founded at William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia, December 5, 1770. Membership is determined primarily by ability in some chosen field of intellectual endeavor. Social qualities are secondary, and the organization is open to both men and women. The Wabash chapter, the Beta of Indiana, was established in 1898. Many alumni of this chapter are now prominent in various lines of activity all over the world. Through this organization the scholastic standing of the colleges has been elevated. One-sixth of the senior class is elected to membership each year, providing the average for their college courses is of a caliber high enough to warrant distinction. Members of each junior class are also recognized if their academic work merits membership. There are, at the present time, only two undergraduate members, both having received the honor in their junior year. A new class will be admitted later this spring. Members Robert A. Stephens Vernon Bartle TAV KAPPA ALPHA Tau Kappa Alpha, one of the two most prominent forensics fraternities in this country, was founded at Butler College, Indianapolis, Indiana, May 13, 1908, for the purpose of promoting interest in debate and oratory in the universities and colleges of this country. The specific qualification for membership in this organiza- tion, is participation in one or more intercollegiate oratorical or debating contest. The Wabash chapter was established in 1913. Since its founding here, three of its members have won the National Oratorical contest, Norman Littell in 1921, Nevin James in 1922, and Leland Ross in 1925. Morris Edwards, another alumnus, is now national secretary-treasurer of the fraternity. OFFICERS Robert Stephens - President George Cross - Vice-President Professor W. N. Er cice .

Schuller The Sphinx Club is a local organization, social in its nature, which has for its purpose the promotion of a better school spirit and a more friendly relationship be- tween members of the various organizations upon the Wabash campus. Although it is not a part of a national organization, its ideals coincide closely with those of clubs under the same name which are now active upon the campuses of many of ihe colleges and universities throughout the United States. There are similar organiza- tions at Indiana University and Butler College. The Wabash Sphinx Club was founded in the fall of 1922. It sponsored the annual Homecoming dance in November, the proceeds of which were used for the purchase of hooded sweat-shirts for the football team. The All-College Vaudeville show which is held at the Little Theater the Friday night of the Homecoming festivities is also a Sphinx Club production. It has be- come more or less traditional and it is hoped by the members that this custom will continue. Each year more interest is manifested in this affair, and with each succes- sive production the type of entertainment has been of a higher class than the one preceding. [-f. CO: Ope The club sponsored a movement among the students to retain Frank Reese, formerly a member of the famous National Championship Notre Dame eleven, as assistant coach of the Little Giants. Reese showed his ability as a coach during the last season. In conjunction with Blue Key, the Sphinx Club had charge of the first annual All-College Dads’ Day, held May 5. This was a decided success and brought the parents of the undergraduates in closer contact with affairs at Wabash and served to promote a warmer friendship between the Dads and their sons’ instructors. Each spring, the club holds its formal dance, which is probably the only social function on the campus where the entire college does not force itself in. It is purely invitational. 137 DUS STS BE € THE WABASH Che eRe meee Reg CN TA MeO eA et, SS OFFICERS M. F. Miller . President R. A. Stephens Vice-President W. A.

It has as its purpose, the encouragement of undergraduates io compete for positions upon the editorial staffs of college newspapers and to augment train- ing in journalistic activity, to sponsor and give lectures upon journalism, and to lend dignity and standing to work and study in this field. There are at present, approximately forty chapters located at colleges and universities all over the United States, where there are student publications and an interest in journalism. Membership is purely of an honorary nature, is elective, and has as one of its essentials, achievement in some line of journalism. Unlike many honorary societies, however, this fraternity maintains a social organization in all the academic institu- tions where its chapters are located. It publishes a quarterly magazine, The Epsilog. The Wabash chapter was established in 1923, and since its founding here, has enjoyed a great measure of success and has aided in promoting journalistic endeavor on the Wabash campus. Each year, this chapter publishes the college scandal sheet, The Scarlet Rash. Diguised, in many instances, as a farce, this publication is able to expose the activi- ties, good and bad, of those connected with the college. Each year a Pi Delta Epsilon banquet is held and prominent journalists are secured as speakers. This chapter takes an active part in all affairs of the national organization, and its members have contributed numerous articles to the official publication of the fraternity. 139 140 vi -| ie | a ¥. | q | g | 4 ) | i ¢ OFFICERS Professor G.

This organization, under the name of the Masonic Club dates as far back as 1897. Not until 1917, however, did it become a part of the vast system of college societies. In this association, faculty members are placed on the same basis as under- vradua‘te members, and this fraternity may accept applicants as members if ihey are Master Masons and have not been guilty of conduct unbecoming a Mason. It strives to uphold the standards of equality, fraternity, charity, and morality, and to combine the college Masons in a closer and more binding brotherhood. The Wabash Square, as the chapters are called, was established May 21, 1925, by E. J. Kaderbek, of the Wisconsin Square of Square and Compass. This Square sponsored and gave a Christmas party for the children of poor and needy families of Crawfordsville and it was a decided success. The entire student body of the college aided the organization financially, but the responsibility of staging the party was wholly in the hands of the Square and Compass. This occasion marked the inaugural of what the college Masons hope will be continued each year, a children’s Christmas party. A sumptuous dinner was served to ap- proximately a hundred youngsters and presents were distributed by a “Santa Claus”. 14] eS RLS TiRSon - Dubai s Liarrls 142 OFFICERS DeWitt O’Kieffe : President J.

Elder J. A. Martin Blue Key was founded at the University of Florida in 1923. The society was organized for for the purpose of banding together the campus leaders among under- graduates in the various universities and colleges of the United States, and to create a closer relationship between the students of American educational institutions. It was originally an exclusive upperclassmen’s society, but in some schools it has become an honorary organization for either seniors exclusively, or for juniors only. Here at Wabash it was established as an organization of juniors and seniors who have distiguished themselves in some branch of campus activity, not essentially pertaining to the academic side of their college work, although scholastic attain- ments are considered. The fraternity at present has nearly forty-five chapters. All of them do not go under the name of Blue Key, however, as in some institutions the color of the school has been substituted for the Blue. The Wabash group chose to retain the original name instead of calling this chapter the Scarlet Key. The Wabash cbanter was established in the fall of 1924. It is, in a sense, a campus Rotary Club, having as its purpose the backing of every worthy student movement and the promoting of student activities. At the annual Homecoming in the fall, Blue Key was in charge of the reception of DePauw students and the student parade. This organization sponsored the first annual All-College Mothers’ Day held May 13, and Geotked with the Sphinx Club in promoting the first annual All- College Dads’ Day held May 5. Both were distinctly successful. A banquet and initiation are held in the fall of each year. : res | D 2: THE WABAS eo id RY | A , e o Presidents of Wabash College Reverend Elihu Baldwin A First President—1834-1840 Rey. Charles D.

At the present time the body is functioning under the new constitution which was drawn up and adopted last year, and which provides representation in correct proportion for the different organizations on the campus. Each national and local fraternity is allowed one man on the council; the Independent men are given three; the junior class has three representatives ; and the sophomore class has two. The annual election to the Student Council is held every spring, with the entire college voting on the candidates nominated by the respective groups. Work of the Council consists of apportioning the student budget, maintaining discipline in the student body, acting on all matters and petitions that- come under its jurisdiction, and in general, performing the duties of a legislative body over the student body of the college. Regular meetings of the council are held every second and fourth Wednesday of each month, although special meetings may be called at any time. 147 - 7 aa | “f FIRST ROW—Schaff, Pietzuch, Bomberger, Arrington, Lathrop, DuShane, Hall, Mount.

The Bachelor The Bachelor began the year under the administration of Bill Frazee and from there went through a creditable career for the year. The paper, under Frazee’s management, had “been enlarged to a six-column size and made an unusually credit- able appearance with this makeup. Later in the year Frazee’s term expired and Dick Aldridge was elected to follow him. It was found, as the work progressed under Aldridge’s hands, that the six- column size of the paper was too large, that running expense for the extra composi- tion and paper was putting the Bachelor in a hole. So, doing the only thing possi- ble to do, the size was changed to the original one of five Eolas and an even, steady progress toward finacial soundness was begun.

The Bachelor attempted several large pieces of work during the year and car- ried them through to a successful conclusion. A platform of suggested activities that would make Wabash a bigger and better school was from time to time assem- bled. Support was given every creditable student activity and those hardly worthy of the support of ihe institution were condemned in as many words. Two feature editions were published, the well known Blue Bachelor and the special Homecoming Edition. The latter was well as sembled for the purpose it was to serve, but the Blue Bachelor was something to be remembered. Copies were snapped up and put into scrap books almost tlie toment they were off the press. The Staff, Second Semester EDITORIAL STAFF F. S. DuBois Editors F. S. DuBois ) Wanasinie Hditare R.

The 1926 Wabash The first Wabash was published in 1857, as one of the oldest college publica- tions west of the Alleghenies. In those days it appeared four times a year. Its existence has been unbroken for the past 69 years, ‘the only change being that in 1922 it was published once a year, in the shape of an annual, instead of the former four magazines. The 1926 Wabash is the fifth of the yearly annuals. There were times when the staff, of the present book heartily wished that those pioneers who were so foresighted as to start the periodical in 1857 had waited at least one hundred years before doing so. But those times were when the weather was bad, money was scarce, and printers, engravers, and photographers were nasty. 3ut, as the book is out, there is no use in crying over spilt milk. There should be, however, a nice, cozy home fitted up with padded cells, and noise proof rooms for retired year book staffs. That will come in the future, perhaps. About the most interesting thing relative to this year’s production of The Wabash, was the downtown fire in the dead of winter which destroyed the Hirshburg Studio on Main Street, and incidentally, original copies of “Old Wabash,” “Alma : yi Editorial Staff � Editor-in-Chief - - - - DeWitt O’Kieffe Athletics Editor : - . .

But the staff did not fret—not much! The fire is over, however. Perhaps the reader will notice several changes in the 1926 Wabash. The entire book has been grouped into six big sections, which sections have been divided into separate sub-sections. An entire sub-section has been given to each: Forensics, Society, Advertisers, the different branches of athletics, Honorary Societies, and High Lights. High-Lights is an entirely new feature which attempts to bridge from the old- fashioned calendar of the year to the snapshot page. Perhaps it would have bridged better had not the staff run short of money and perforce had to content itself with the first shipment of cuts for that section. The size of the book has been increased 24 pages, making the total number of pages 256. Other features have been added for the enjoyment of the faculty and students of Wabash college, but it is useless to go into detail over them. Suffice it to say that the members of the staff have done their best to put into your hands a book that you will enjoy and which will be worthy of the college. Business Staff F. T.

Uhe Wabash Caveman From its struggling start two years ago this March, the Wabash Caveman has grown and flourished until now it is firm financially and editorially, and is one of the well known coilege humorous magazines of the country. This year The Caveman was edited under the direction of Jack Scott with Dick Corbly handling the business end of it. The year was successful, probably the iost successful of any The Caveman has ever seen since its inception, The editor was fortunate in securing the help of Wayne Colvin, an Indianapolis man attending Chicago Art School, in making covers for the various editions, and these added immensely to the outward appearance of the magazine. Cuts of the four early covers appear at the top of the page. The first edition was the “One Hoss Shay” number, inspired by the threatened strike on the subject of flivvers. It went over in fine style. Following this, printed about the time of the Homecoming football game, was the Puritan Number, not for any especial reason except that ‘Colvin hadudtawa a symbolic cover. Anyhow, the staff rallied and made it a Thanksgiving Number that was all right. The Christmas Number was distinguished mainly by its cover, a splendid drink- ing scene. This attracted comment wherever seen. The last number published before the yearbook went to press was the True Confessions number. This was received with more enthusiasm than any of the others, both as to writing and art. EDITORIAL STAFF, 1925-26 Editor-in-Chief - - T eVor SCOLe Managing Editor - W.H.

However, the bureau continued work in spite of the misfortunes. The purpose of the organization, of course, was to advertise Wabash by sending news concerning the school to the newspapers over the state. With this in view, it functioned very creditably.

The papers have shown an unusual eagerness to get this sort of information and copy. Especially in sports was the bureau effective. Aside from sending dope stories over the state a string of papers made arrangements for stories on all the games to be supplied through this student news system. Among ihese were the Chicago Tribune, the Chicago Daily News, the Indianapolis papers, and Terre Haute and South Bend papers. In some instances space rates were paid, this money going into ; the treasury of the organization. Financing of the activity was from a budget allowed by the trustees, that body recognizing the value of the publicity secured.

This organization took the name of “The Wabash Players.” After a time it gained a permanent and respected place among the other organizations of the college, and in 1924 the name of the dramatic club was changed to “The Scarlet Masque.” Under this latter cognomen the club has flourished, and early this year pins ‘emblemati¢ of the purpose of the Scarlet Masque were adopted. They are in the form of a scarlet, theatrical mask, and are given to members of the dramatic society after their first appearance before the public. This fall when tryouts were announced the rush of aspirants for the limited number of vacancies in the club exceeded all expectations. Over one hundred men tried out for the Scarlet Masque, and of this number only twelve were admitted. Following the custom established in former years, the dramatic society gave two plays, one in the fall and the other in the spring. O’Kieffe, President i =, a al A Scene from Act Three of the Scarlet Masque’s Fall Production, ‘Merton of the Movies,’”’ For the fall play, the Scarlet Masque chose, “Merton of the Movies,’ a comedy by Kaufman and Connelly, taken from the well known story by Harry Leon Wilson. The production was given with success before a capacity audience at the Strand Theater on the evening of December 10th. “Merton of the Movies” was coached by Allen Saunders and Dean George V. Kendall. The following is the cast for the production: “MERTON OF THE MOVIES” Dramatis Personae PGA cb amar me APA OER VE ERE HG ES.

As The Wabash, of necessity, must go to press be- fore the presentation of these spring plays it is, of course, impossible to announce the cast for them. As is the custom, however, the season was taken into consideration in choosing the plays and three one- act comedies were selected. They were received favor- ably by the audience, composed to a great extent of fathers of Wabash men who were in Crawfordsville for the Annual Dads’ Day. D CARTWRIGHT fC BH HOWARD, alr. .J.

Th C Sea-Goin’ Band The day has passed when Wabash College won’t support a band. For the past four years the institution has had one, and one that, despite the handicaps of no music department and a limited enrollment, has attracted favorable comment and educed enthusiasm wherever and whenever it has appeared. The accompanying photograph of the band doesn’t do it justice. The picture was taken after the football season was over, and the day was cold. Consequently, only about one-third of the band showed up. More than thirty pieces make up the complete roster of the “Sea-Goin’” band when it is in action. The Band had behind it the tradition of the ‘‘Sea-Goin’” band of last year and made every effort to be as famous. It was. Larry Harris was named as director and took it through the labor of working up its several numbers. On the field it was led by Drum Major Fritz Schuller. The band was used at every home football game of the season, adding a dash of brilliant color to the general scene with its scarlet sweaters and white navy trousers. The Purdue game, always one of the biggest affairs of the season for Wabash hecause it isn’t too far to be bummed to, and because it is an important game for Wabash to win, which it usually does, saw the band out in full force, a special bus having been chartered for the trip. The musicians added immeasurably to the spirit which the Wabash section showed at this game. Again, this organization made the trip to Illinois and, in a driving rain most of the game, played with all the spirit that it might have shown on a decent day and on the Wabash field. Again at Butler the band was out in force in a sea of mud that splashed up almost high enough to choke the boy with the big bess horn. As an institution the band is a remarkable force for raising and maintaining enthusiasm at athletic contests. Much credit for the werk of the band this year must be given to Larry Harris, who worked incessantly directing it, and to Fritz Schuller, who led it on special occasions as its drum major. Harris Director ; ee Db hae a mes P tae i : 2 - DO 7 eaves Ow oy ES AS ET The Band at the Purdue Game. Few persons realize what amount of work is necessary to organize and get a band into shape for a strenuous season, especially when there are things to do of much more enjoyment than attending weekly practices. Director Harris is to be complimented for the work he did along this line. Although the band has fairly good representation on most instruments, through no fault of its own, it is short of men for the brass and bass sections. It is to be hoped that next year men who play these instruments will enter college. Plans for the band’s future include more concert numbers and a home concert and the officials of the organization are bending every effort toward this end. In the future it is intended to make the band something more than an enthusiasm raiser for football games. The cocky “Sea-Goin’ ” eer worn by the b and have become a feature all over the state, and they add a dash of color to the athletic contests. Formerly, the band men wore gray uniforms and the change for the brighter combination was one for the better for all concerned. Members of the Band Director Larry Harris Drum Major F. C.

For the past year the society has flourished under the direct tutelage of Profes- sor J. Allen Saunders, with Professor Charles Caddock acting as his assistant. All meetings were exceedingly novel and attractive, consequently the organization grew more than any other educational organization on the campus. A very clever pro- gram for the year was formulated which included chalk talks, a bridge party, theater parties, and the culminating feature: a true French banquet at the Sigma Chi house. The organization has grown from a mere club of a few me mnbers to a group i | language. The club arouses a desire for continued study of French literature and that has on its roll practically every eligible man on the campus, with more clamor- ing for admittance. The club has enjoyed phenomenal success during the past year and has attained to remarkable heights as far as Wabash language circles are con- cerned. “LE CERCLE FRANCAIS” President : : Vice-President .

Classics Club The Classics Club, formed by a union of the Latin Club and the Greek Club, is composed of students who are interested in the life and literature of classical times. The past year has been spent on a study of the life and works of various Greek and Roman authors. Meetings are held every two weeks—at one a Greek author is discussed, and at the other a Latin author is discussed. The topics this year have been unusually well prepared, and a great amount of helpful discussion has followed each talk. Many interesting and unusual phases of life and detail, which cannot be included in a classroom course, have been brought out. The two faculty advisers, Professor Oldfather and Professor Beddie, have aided much in the discussion periods. Altogether, the club has done much to broaden ideas and to increase the knowledge of classical times among its members.

Meetings of the organization are held bi-monthly at which time Biblical and present day topics of a religious nature are discussed. Various ministers of the city address the club and conduct open forums on topics of interest to the members. The members of the club have proved of great service to the surrounding com- munity in as much as they travel to rural parishes and take active part in the religi- ous services. Several members of the organization have had rural charges during the past year in preparation for their entering theological schools upon graduation from Wabash. Likewise the Tuttle Club has carried on invaluable work in the various young people’s societies within the city. Professor Ralph T.

Member- ship in the organization is given in recognition of successful work on the The Bachelor, the semi-weekly newspaper published by the club. A man must have worked on The Bachelor at least one semester before he is eligible for Press Club. Meetings are held from time to time for the purpose of hearing lectures by well known journalists. The Press Club has direct control over The Bachelor and has full power of appointing and removing any member of the staff. The editorial and business heads of The Bachelor constitute the officers of the club, and elections are held once each year, at the close of the first semester. Last spring the Press Club members were hosts to the National Collegiate Press i ' Association when it met at Wabash for a three day convention. Twice a year, in February and in June, men who have faithfully worked on The Bachelor for one semester and who have shown marked ability are elected to | the club upon the recommendations of the various heads of departments. | 7 1 T | THE PRESSCLUS Officers | First Semester Second Semester } ) President . - W.

The club holds meetings once every two weeks and the members participate in discussions of an historical nature. Current political topics are minutely discussed by the club and an endeavor is made to teach members how to think correctly along political lines. Officers for the organization are elected every three months, with Professor Theodore Gronert acting as the able faculty adviser of the club throughout the year. Election to the Hegira Club is on a competitive basis with men having secured an “A” in history during the previous semester being among those eligible for rec og- nition. In this manner the personnel of the organization has been ‘kept at a high standard and it is hoped by members that within a short time the petition of the club to a certain national Greek letter historical fraternity will be granted.

The P sychology Club The Psychology Club is enjoying its first season on the Wabash campus, since it was formed in January of the present scholastic year. Although in a new field for a club the organization has enjoyed marked success since it recently came into being and has carried on much work in its particular sphere of influence. The psychologists run their membership on an entirely elective basis and only those men who excel in the classroom psychology are eligible to be admitted to the club. It is the desire and sole aim of this group to create a better understanding of : the courses offered in college and to promote the extension of research work in the y entire field of psychology. Although little has been accomplished in actual research ‘ work this year, due to lack of equipment, it is felt by members that next year will see much success for the club along this line. Prof. G. H. Tapy is the faculty sponsor of the organization and has been ex- ceedingly active in starting the club toward being one of the leading scholastic bodies on the campus.

R. Bechtel was in direct charge of the organiza- tion and arranged a very interesting program for the year. Papers of modern import were a common occurrence and although dealing with scientific matter, they were so treated that any well informed person might listen to them with enjoyment. Various specimens came into the laboratory throughout the year and these were carried forward into the meetings where they were discussed at length.

In order to gain the general end of the association, the interpretation of Christ to college students, the Y. M. C. A. worked out its program on these lines: 1. The simulation of student thinking on religious problems. 2. The development of the ideas of Christian service to students. 3. The making of Christian citizens by teaching men to serve their community. On the first point, interesting discussion groups were held bi-weekly under the leadership of Professor Oldfather and Francis Stull. For the entire student body, chapel speakers were brought in and a two-day series of religious meetings was held in To accomplish the second end, the Y. performed many bits of campus service. Help was given to Freshmen on several occasions, an employment agency was main- tained, and the Y. responded to other needs as they arose. For the third end, several projects of community service were carried out. A troop of Boy Sccuts was maintained and supervised.

The Economics Club | The Economics Club is one of the most recent additions to the campus organiza- tions, having been formed in February of this year. Professor Joy Luther Leonard conceived the idea of a group of economics students gathering every two weeks for open discussion, and upon his suggestion the club was organized. The club keeps foremost at all times the interest in economic problems, and attempts to aid students in securing a better understanding of ec onomic situations and every day labor problems. Many interesting and beneficial meetings have been held throughout the semes- ter, with current capital and labor issues being spiritedly discussed. At the time of the anthracite coal strike numerous papers dealing with all elements involved were | prepared and presented for the club’s consideration. Men who are majors in Economics or are exceptionally good students of the subject are eligible for membership in the newest of Wabash organizations. The club should enjoy much success in the coming years for it has opened a new field of thought that will undoubtedly arouse much keen interest in Professor Leonard’s de partment.

DeBard Cartwright, Pres. 176 ay ct beware, o. Robertson Stewart Forensics Wabash’s athletic record may excel that of most of her competitors; her Glee Club may have brought much renown to her portals; the fame of her journalists may spread far and wide; but in no field has her excellence been as predominant as in forensics. What athletic team of hers has won the championship of the Middle West three times in the last six years? When has her Glee Club ever been pro- claimed the champion of the United States? In what sport has she consistently turned out teams which defeated, year in and year out, teams from conference schools and other large universities? In forensics, Wabash is the best—not only among her own class of schools, but among all schools. Why is this? Perhaps it is because Wabash has had a line of able men direct- ing her public speaking work. Perhaps it is because Wabash attracts students of more than the usual merit as speakers. Perhaps it is some other tangible thing, but we doubt it. What makes Wabash great in forensics is “Fight.” Wabash debate teams fight, Wabash orators fight—just as hard and just as long as Wabash athletes. Do you doubt us? Did you ever see the tryouts for places on the debate squad? Forty to fifty men sitting around in the old chapel waiting for their “chance” to come. It comes—and with what zest they go at it. Twelve are chosen; from the looks on their faces you would think that they had been elected President of the United States. The fighting doesn’t end there. It is easy enough to fight when there are others around to cheer, but when that fighting becomes work of the most painstaking nature, then it takes a true fighter to stick it out. Cl a Ck For weeks evidence is gathered. Once a week all twelve sit around a long table over in the old chapel. Professor Brigance stands up at the end, nearest the door. He’s little, but oh, how mighty—ask any man who comes in late, or dares show up sans cards of evidence. The final result is a thorough brief of both sides of a case. Debating This year has been no exception to the general rule. Under the capable leadership of Professor W. N. Brigance, a powerful debate team was de- veloped. Only three veterans were available—Clark, and Phillips with one year of experience, and Stephens with two. But much new material was revealed in try-outs, and Brigance was able to get twelve good men together. Besides the three veter- ans, the squad consisted of J. A. Mount, B. L. Nacdanan Stewart, R. H. Robertson, R. B. Payne, C. H. Foust, Kiltz 8 Se Res @ ERS Ge FE Phillips Stephens Sam Nagdeman, Lloyd Dudley,.A. A. Kiltz, and E. Schoenberger. Wabash debated again this year as a member of the Indiana Intercollegiate Debate Association. The debate question of the year was, “Resolved, That the Federal Child Labor Amendment Should Be Adopted.” The squad worked up a fine brief covering all sides of this question. The first debates were held on March 5. Wabash competed in a triangle with Earlham and Butler. At Crawfordsville, the Wabash affirmative team, composed of Hayes Robertson, R. B. Payne, and M. G. Phillips, met the Earlham negative team. The judges of the debate were Professor Stonecipher of Indiana Central, Professor A. H. Monroe of Purdue, and Professor Allen of Terre Haute State Normal. The judges awarded the decision to Wabash by a vote of 2 to 1. At the same time, the Wabash negative team met the Butler affirmative team at Indianapolis. Speaking for Wabash were, R. A. Clark, J. A. Mount, and Robert Stephens. This team was not as successful, going down in defeat before Butler. Professor E. R. Noroelle of Indiana University judged the debate. Two weeks later, Wabash met DePauw and Franklin in the second triangular debate. At this time the affirmative team lost to DePauw, but the negative team was victorious over Franklin. In a dual meet with the Purdue freshman team, the Wabash freshman were vic- torious by an overwhelming popular decision. Oratory HAYES ORATORICAL CONTEST, 1925 This contest, for Freshmen and Sophomores, was held in the Old Chapel, June 4, 1925. It was won by L. Wayne Price, ’27, who spoke on “A New Ideal for Education. M. G. Phillips, ’27, was second, and R. A. Clark, ’27, finished third. This contest was one of the most closely fought ever held at Wabash. BALDWIN ORATORICAL CONTEST, 1925 Before a packed Old Chapel, the Baldwin Oratorical Contest for Juniors and Seniors was fought out on June 11. Tracy Coker finished first with an oration on ““A New Monroe Doctrine.” Stanley Gray was second, and R. E. Wicks was third. AGAIN! Yes—Wabash did it again. For the second con- secutive year, for the fourth time out of the last seven, a Wabash orator won the State Oratorical Contest. This time victory was all the nicer, because -it was unexpected. We all said, “Well, we'll have to wait a few years now before some new man can be trained to fill the steps of Ross, of James, of Littell. This year some one else will win.” Donley But one W. N. Brigance didn’t give up as easily Renaenborrer 179 Mount oH A E Ee PD a DD TE VA BAS eee ©, | | i The Wabash Debate Squad as the rest of us did. He looked around—he encouraged men to try out—he coached those who did. The result was a high class Day Oratorical Contest. Five good speakers entered and it was only with much work that one Maurice Robinson won. Byron Stewart pressed hard on his heels and ended second, while just a shade below came Hayes Robertson. Then that aforesaid Maurice started out to show Wabash that Maurice could fight just as hard on the platform as “Red” could on the basketball floor. Daily, for week after week, he worked with Brigance, and when the big night came, one February 12, up at North Manchester College, Maurice was high point man. “Red” had done it—he had brought another State Championship to Wabash. One more word of praise should be spoken and that should go to Professor Brigance. Truly he has been a “maker of champions.” In four years at Wabash, his men have finished fifth once, second once, and first twice in the State Oratorical. In the State Peace Contests, his orators have won three seconds. In the National Contests—he has had two winners—one, Ross of Wabash, the other, Stanley of Nebraska, whom he coached when taking his master’s degree at that school. “By their fruits ye shall know them”—by that standard, Brigance stands in the front rank of makers of orators. M. G. Robinson Professor W. N. Brigance State Oratorical Champion, 1926 Head of the Department of Inter-state Champion, ’26 Public Speaking 4 5 ae — 4s g | e yo OD TE WAS AS eer According to Webster,'a definition of society is the association of people; rela- tionship. According to Wabash, society is the association with the feminine haif of people, such relationship being particularly of the Dance. Therefore The Wabash in its Society Section will attempt to incorporate only a calendar of Wabash Dances, most of which have already become features of each year and which exhibit as evolutionary changes only variety of orchestra, transiency of feminine clientele, and increasing intricacy of the measures trod. Or, as the well known bard has said of Wabash men and their attitude toward dancing: “Shave, bathe, and change shirts—this evening we dance!” Pan-| Lellenic D ANCES, 1925 By far the most important social functions of the year for Wabash Greeks are the Pan-Hellenic Dances, probably because they are held in the Spring, and because most of the fraternities give houseparties at the time. Last year’s dances were given at the Masonic Temple on the evenings of May 14th and 15th. As is the custom, the first night’s frolic was formal and was limited to fraternity men. Ross Franklin furnished the music with his orchestra. On Saturday night, the dance floors were open to the public, for a price, and the crowd in attendance was considerably larger. At this time Galbraith’s Aces were the musicians. Dean and Mrs. George V. Kendall headed the list of chaperones and patrons. The Pan Council, consisting of Bostwick, McLallen, Burdette, Bartlett, Leslie, McMillan, and Wooley, served as the committee in charge of the entire affair. Commencement Dan Ce, 1925 The evening of June 11, 1925, found the yearly Commencement dance in wild sway at the Masonic Temple, with a large crowd seeming to enjoy the revel. Why shouldn’t the guests revel? Peyton furnished the music. Cutting-in was practiced viciously by everyone at the dance. The newly-elected Student Council furnished the committee, consisting of O’Kieffe, chairman, Brown, DuBois, Stewart, and Scanlon, that was in charge of the function. Sophomore Cofillion, 1926 A large percentage of the college usually turns out to attend the Cotillion— forsityis popularly priced and merry. The Fourth Annual Cotillion proved no exception to the rule and when it was given on April 17th with Tommy Jarvis’ Tune- sters officiating, the Temple was again jammed to capacity. The committee in charge of the event was made up of Suverkrup, Finch, Link, and Chilcott. Members of the faculty with their wives, and town alum ni furnished the chaperonage and patronage. 182 a ey A Lo ee ER ©: examinations were over that very afternon. Doc” Kas , = 2 , e B e. | | E é: For the individual fraternities and organizations Pledge, Initiation, and other kinds of dances are given throughout the year. At such times representatives and guests from other fraternities are invited. The last week in September usually darks the beginning of the Pledge dance season which las ts almost entirely through October and sometimes even into November. This year pledge dances were given by Delta Tau Delta, Beta Theta Pi, Kappa Sigma, Sigma Chi, Phi Gamma Delta, Commons Club, Kaimak Club, Lambda Chi Alpha, and Phi Sigma Alpha. For weeks after the mid-year initiations it is an exception when a Saturday night comes around without an initiation dance of some kind being given by some lodge. Between pledge and initiation dances and the regular all-college functions, are interspersed subscription dances, football dances, and several other dances. Homecoming Dance, 1925 This perennial event was sponsored last November 20 by the Sphinx Club and was in the form of a Blanket Hop. The proceeds of the dance went toward buying mackinaws for the football team. Dancing was done in the gymnasium, which was decorated by the Homecoming booths erected by each fraternity. Doc Peyton and his orchestra took charge of “the musical end of things in appropriate fashion. A number of DePauw rooters from the game attended en masse. ‘Th C Jun 1 or Prom ena (| eC, 192 D The worthiest, yet most ill-fated, social event of recent years was the annual Junior Prom, held at the Temple the evenings of December 11th and 12th. For once in the history of Wabash Dances, a committee lived up to advance promises in the matter of music for it secured (and had on hand when the proper time came) the Blue and White Kentuckians from Louisville, for the formal dance the first evening, and Ted Weem’s Victor Recording Orchestra, than which there has been none better orchestra here in years, with Dusty Rhodes at the drums, for Satur- day night’s party. Aesthetically, the party was a wow; financially, it was not a wow, but the com- mittee had the satisfaction of knowing that those in attendance had themselves a time. The committee in charge consisted of Brown, chairman, Gerard, Clark Robert- son, McLain, and Halsey. Halsey, as president of the Junior class, led the Grand March. 183 ho a ee ¢, Miami Triad, 1926 : Unique programs in the form of examination books, featured the Third Annual Miami Triad held at the Masonic Temple, January 28, 1926. The trio of fraternities which make up the Triad are: Beta Theta Pi, Phi Delta Theta, and Sigma Chi, and this dance, their third one, was the most successful that has yet been held. Each of the three fraternities | furnished a man to form the committee, which consisted of Englehardt, | McClelland, and Robinson. Carmichael’s Band from Bloomington provided the music. Fiji Costume Ball, 1926° Due to the success with which the First Annual Costume Ball was received, the Fijis determin- ed to make the affair an annual one and put on their second ball February 20th at the Masonic Temple. Pirates and Princes, Convicts and Colonials, to say nothing of other characters from life, fiction, or history, could be seen the eve- ning of the dance. The town alumni of Phi Gam- ma Delta, and_ representatives from other fraternities were cuests of the chapter at the dance. Don Harter’s orchestra played the engagement. Sphinx Club Formal, 1926 The annual Sphinx Club Form- al was held May 22nd at the Masonic Temple. As usual the dance was extremely enjoyable, perhaps because the crowd was not so large and left more room in which to dance. A committee from the club had charge of the affair. The dance is given yearly in honor of the spring initiates of the Sphinx Club. re y Hon. THOMAS R. MARSHALL Born March 14, 1854. Died June 1, 1925 1S CHK?

It has been truthfully said that he was the most popular presiding officer of the United States Senate that that body has ever had. During the first day that the body of Thomas Marshall lay in state there was placed upon the casket a single large American rose with a card bearing on one side the words, “Wabash, The Class of 1873, Edwin J. Rice, President; Warwick H. Rip- ley, Secretary.” On the other side of the card were the names of the eight living members of the class, and beneath were the words: “The other twelve are with Tom Marshall.” Judge Albert Duy Thomas, 64, died at his home in Crawfordsville on November 13, as a result of a fall suffered ten days earlier in which he broke his hip. The late Judge was a member of the Indiana State Board of Pardons for twenty years and was president of that body at the time of his death. He had served as a member of the Wabash Board of Trustees since 1882 and part of that time as President of the Board. eee be Pee WABASH Gs bo - a+ §) S24 ah inne ..

Coming to Wabash at the time the open game was being developed, Cayou taught his men the new style of play perfectly and the Little Giants became one of the most feared football combinations in the West. His last team at Wabash, that of 1906, was one of his best. Starting with prac- tically no seasoned material, Cayou built up a team that lost only one game, and that early in the season when the eleven had not fully developed its power. Cayou’s gridders started the season by drubbing South Bend High, 47-0. The following game was lost to Indiana, 5-12, but Wabash came back in the next game and tied the strong Illinois team, 0-0.

Evans, 792 “°Twas the night before” as the old rhyme begins but it was a more exciting night than Christmas Eve, at least to the students. The classes of 92 and 793, Sophomores and Freshmen, then, had made elaborate preparations for the celebra- tion of the 22nd of February, 1890. Weeks beforehand the Freshies had ordered a fine satin banner handsomely decorated and painted with their class year. It was gorgeously beautiful their com- mittee reported, but the class never saw it. Three of the Sophs, secreted on ihe joists above the Calliopean Literary Society hall, the place of meeting, listened in on all the preparations and brazenly bought the banner from the maker early on the day it was completed. To this day its where- abouts are unknown. To retaliate the Jun- iors were brought to the aid of their sister class and on “the night'‘before” the 22nd. acting with great cau- tion, distributed all over town a_ vitriolic and bombastic “bogus” attacking the Seniors and Sophs. Now the latter maintained an all night scouting or- ganization in a law office above Lacey’s book store. One of them by chance pick- ed up one of these choice pieces of litera. ture and ferreted out the method of distribu- tion. Immediately some of the class were as- signed to canvas all the streets and during the rest of the night they worked steadily prying from under the doors or picking from off the porches the coveted scraps of paper which were brought to headquarters. Frosh in Chains SS Ge Ee Cee rs @ fi omni « 02) THE WA BASH ren iV Towards midnight the seat of the conflict was transferred to the campus. Fear- a ing that their opponents would attempt to raise a flag on the belfry at Center Hall, | eo the Freshies established around the building a regular patrol every five minutes. In one of the intervals a group of Sophs who had borrowed a long ladder from the ae Opera House and sneaked it through the alleys to the west side of the campus, rushed a forward and raised the ladder. Four of. the party hastily climbed up, pulled the ladder after them and with it got to the top of the tower. . | The next day at two o’clock in the afternoon the much heralded Freshman Par- ade was held. Preceded by the imposing Crawfordsville Brass Band, the first year men luxuriously rode in two horse carriages with tops down. Hardly had they. started before the forty Sophs, mounted on horses, went to the head of the proces- sion and continually blew rasping tin fox horns which sadly marred the sweet melodies of the band. When the pre-arranged route was completed, the Freshies put up at the stables on Market Street and all the Sophs but one dismounted at the stable on Main Street. Both classes, still carrying broom sticks or canes, marched toward the Court House corner. The Freshies arrived barely first and blocked the path of the Sophs who undertook to go through the line. Biederwolf, leader of the latter, ducked his head, shouted, “Come on, boys!” and felt the first rap on his back : as the sticks mingled. At the height of the excitement, Harry Wedding, who, as calm as he is now, was riding homeward alongside his walking comrades, saw the danger in which the Sophs’ banner was placed as the Freshies were pressing toward it. Hastily taking it from the color bearer, he galloped frantically up Washington Street pursued by his baffled enemies, and, rushing into his home, thrust the banner into the stove where the flames soon made it safe. The unexpected turn of events immediately set the participants laughing and joking. However, it took astute ne- gotiations the next day to appease the minions of the law. Four men from each class who lived at a distance, volunteered to be the goats to appear at the Mayor’s office and be fined ten dollars each which the classes promply financed. The evening after the parade the Junior Debate was held at Center Church. Seated in a body on the east side of the auditorium °92 paid its respects to the authors of the scurrilous bogus by enjoying a much needed sleep all through the profound discussion. The inharmonious parade, the battle of the sticks and the belfry incident were not exciting enough to satisfy the local newspaper correspondents. Their imagina- tion produced a lurid tale two days later in the metropolitan Sunday papers, accord- ing to which there was a prolonged riot, in which Center Hall was stormed, some of the students were hurled from the tower and many badly injured. Various parents from out of town hurried to the seat of war only to find their young hopefuls very much alive and happy, and none the worse for wear. oe Coach Jesse Harper 190 Loree EI (SS Wabash War Song Words and Music by CARROLL RAGAN, Ex ‘01 When the Through the shad - ows of last he aut hear the by 7 vance he ete gle blast, ae itl were , deep, There And the might.- ¥ had turned. tide sound - ed shells they fought un - and sire to son-“Here’s a see the stal-wart fi Tom-my and the Bi ‘Twas the call from Ca me a cheer that ren. the sky from th le the scar-let hearts aid hands thitt ea - ger- ly had lost bis win- ning sul len foe chance, fa- thers had not died black-ened France leap, for the Spit - it of our was reek-ing with the blood of burned-he n blood with - rav- ished he 7 Copyright 1019 by Carroll Ragan felt, the 4,he had SSS : =; ze re - plied, Ev- ‘ry man who lov He had plundered, he had mur-dered = =a ae - —- == lads its up to you fight that mus’ won o come on Lb t be wo S Marne far Shang-hai, Free- dom’ torch blazed forth a - new Through the But at SSS SSS —————— France meee � fi rom bat-tered Flan-ders down to grey Ve ey Ver. dun blot out the bat- ed 4 ¢ Wa-bash gave their you! thand hap-py strength te guard them throug ye May their mem'- ry g em through the years. he Ma-ter,watch and - vere sleeping ov-er their names _ Wemourn the brave ones there — Dear Arma Ma-te May their mem-ry be ev- er rwatch and guard them thro’ the yeats Wabash War Song 4 Pe PR rs 7 “ae s.

What has the Caveman done for the Wabash public? How many students strikes has the sheet advocated? What has the Caveman done about warts and eumboils? The answer rolls back in tones that make the welkin resound. “Nothing!” And probably the most foolish thing the Caveman has ever done is the offer- ing of prizes for copy. Even though there was no response to this offer, the stigma attached to the fact that a Wa- bash publication made an attempt to purchase copy remains. I[t will always be a blot on our fair record.

The system was instituted as a result of the disputes between the male and fe- male elements of the school, and it is believed will iron out all difficul- ties in the future. Ben Wade is a college of eighteen thousand men and women, located in the heart of the Maryland wheat belt and coal yards. For some time past, the women have complained because the male element insisted on their participating — in field day _— exercises, freshman - sophomore scraps, and the like, and not allowing them any representation on the college paper, “The Ben Wade Inhale”, the debate teams, the glee club, the hockey team, and the R. O. T. C. Believing that their rights were as great as those of the firmer sex, the fair denizens of dear old Ben Wade rose in re- volt. At the women’s smoker held at the Y. W. C. A., early last Septem- ber, Miss Wilhelmina O’Toole, Dean of Women and Agricultural — Stu- dents, outlined a_ plan whereby the women would have their own athletic contests, publish their own paper, etc. As a result, each week in ee Sao A The FEATURE BACHELOR Professorial Grilling (Continued from page 1) human treatment accord- ed his playmates by. the committee.

With such men as Painter and DeBard left over from last year’s varsity and such men as Latimer and Goodman and other Phi Sigs coming over from the freshmen, it looks like a good year. % + We never want to see a better left-wink than Geraldeau. Playing with a sprained wrist in the Notre game, he flipped two consecutive points. He should have been all- state. What’s the matter with the Indianapolis Star or Blondie Patton or somebody that this man isn’t recognized? Rockne may be a good coach but give us Vaugh- an and Reese every time to turn out a cood team. Vaughan for the defen- eame and Reese coaching the forward winks, and even .

A fortunate accident prevented Wedding, Delta Tau Delta, from completely ruining the work of this mammoth organi- zation. One Gerald J. Cory, Columbus-born Phi Sigma Alpha, who suc- ceeded Wedding, has suffered from failing health all during the year, which has been a fortunate boon to the News Bureau. The purpose of the News Bureau is to tell the world and especially the home town of all the deeds and accomplishments of the hardy sons of old Siwash. More lies have probably been told through the efficient ser- vice of the News Bureau than by the combined membership of the Wabash Ananias Club, both Alumni and Active Departments. A few of these false- hoods will follow in order of rankness. Gushings from t he News Bureau The following article, an early child of the News Bureau, first saw the light of day in the poorly printed columns of the ndianapolis Times. It speaks for itself. Painter Wins Bridge Championship Gridiron Star Wields Wicked Finesse Martin In Tears At Spectacular Finish Harry Painter, a home town boy, has fooled all his feminine admirers and won the W-men’s bridge championship. Paired with his playmate, Willard McCorkle, Painter steamed through the feeble opposition offered by the Martin-Sherman com- bination for the championship. Sherman was winded at the finish while Martin was crying softly, but, oh, so bitterly. We are glad to see another of our boys distinguishing himself at old Siwash. May the bullets strike him. McLain Tosses Mean Quadruped’s Castoffs Agile Local Youth Shows Skill Acquired on Home Grounds Reid Mozambique McLain, a Crawfordsville youth, we are happy to say, has PAE 0 oe Si ar’ 4 Dee OER ¢. The FEATURE NEWS BUREAU brought further honors to the town of the author of “Ben-Hur” by wating Aine ae the contest. Our hearts pulse with pride as we write of the achievements of this favorite son. May he prosper in his chosen calling. (The above article, which appeared in the Crawfordsville Weakly Screech, November 22, 1925, was written by R. S. Harvey of the News Bureau Staff. It is another typical specimen of the marvelous work turned out by the News Bureau.) Local Youth Could Have Won Checker Tourney Kirklin Pride Failed to Enter College Round Although he was not entered in the checker tourney at Wabash College, the Howl feels sure that our boy, Dana Gipson, could easily have taken this tourna- ment. We know the ability of the Gipsons as checker hounds and make this state- ment unreservedly. (The above article was the direct result of News Bureau reporters and appeared in the Kirklin Howl for December 12, 1925.) Mr. G. W. Cross, local youth at Wabash College, has been reinstated as a member in good standing by the Tuttle Club at that institution, dispatches from the Wabash News Bureau inform us. Ain’t that nice?—Lebanon Whoop. Joe Potts, well-known local man, now attending Wabash College, has recently been pledged to the Night-Howlers Club, an honorary society at the school. We received this information direct from the Wabash News Bureau. We are delighted to hear of fellows that loafed around the post-office——Ft. Wayne Beacon. George Effervescent Funk, a well-known Princeton youth who is attending Wabash College, has recently joined the “Shooters of Deuces and Dozens”, an hono- rary union at the college. We have always felt that George’s abilty with snake-eyes and box-cars would gain him distinction—Princeton Daily Yell. (All the above news items were garnered through the tireless efforts of mem- bers of the reportorial staff of the News Bureau. ) Home Boy Turns Poet— Another Example of College Life. Crawfordsville, Ind., Oct. 15, 1925.—(Special to Minneapolis Belch) DeWitt O’Kieffe, a Minneapolis product attending Wabash College, has written some beau- tiful love-sonnets which have taken high rank in intramural poetic competition. Mr. O’Kieffe’s poems are of passionate timbre and are full of verve and nicotine. It is rumored that the city of Minneapolis is organizing to exterminate the youthful war- bler upon his next trip home.— Minneapolis Belch. Widespread publicity is being given the fact that a local student of Wabash College has refused to accept the award of Phi Beta Kappa, national honorary schol- astic fraternity. William Frazee is the original youth and Rushville is proud of a man that is different. Was it not Emerson who bleated, ““Whoso would be a man must be a non-conformist”? It is said in dispatches sent out by the Wabash News Bureau that Frazee refused the honor because his scholastic average was only 64.2 but this has not been definitely established—Rushville Ranter, April 4, 1926. ia os | ee s) comers Invitational Horseshoe Hurling Contest at Wabash College this week.

Mr. O’Malley is a senior at Wabash’s College this fall and has a long and honorable ‘career in jourralistic cir- cles while in college. He achieved probably his greatest fame in the above mentioned contest when, with twelve others, he competed for the eight-dollar prize offered by Squibb and Co. Although Mr. O’Malley did not win the prize, he won great dis- tinction for himself and for his Alma Mater through his play “Desire Under the Armpits”, a powerful, gripping farce of society life in Carbondale, Pennsylvania. In speaking of the vari- ous plays which were submitted for the contest, Mr. Squibb, himself, said: “T was particularly drawn to the play presented by Mr. O'Malley, to wit, viz., i. e., e. g., ‘Desire Under the Armpits’. It has a dashing, vigorous style not unlike that of Eric the Red in_ his Greenland or Bust’. I spent a very pleasant six hours reading it, and, al- though I cannot award it the prize, I feel that its author should not go un- mentioned.” The “Caveman” is greatly indebted to Mr. O'Malley for allowing us to run his play. “DESIRE UNDER THE ARMPITS” Dramatis Personae LEM : 2 A 1% Wit LES - Lem’s Half-brother MILT Their Old Man Hogs and Murderers. —o— As the curtain rises, a great outdoor scene faces the audience. In the back- ground are mountains and spaghetti factories. In the foreground a_ loco- motive wends its way slowly across the stage. Left and center stands a farm- house and a silo. In the garden stands LEM, a 14 wit, who chews tobacco and rakes the garden. Three or four hogs romp about in the garden play- fully. If possible have the hogs rub up against LEM’S leg to give the idea that though he is a 1% wit, he is liked by all animals. Right and center is a town—Carbondale, Pennsylvania. (If the stage is not large enough to ac- comodate a full-sized town, it will be all right, to preserve the illusion, to have merely three barber colleges and a catsup factory.) A sign should be in a prominent place, reading “Scran- ton 147 miles” one way, and “Daytona Beach 19856 miles” the other. The sui is shining brightly as the curtain soes up—(if possible, have one of the hogs make a crack about “Sow’s your wild oats.”) LEM is raking industri- ously—he spits with great ennui. ACT ONE LEM—“That there sun is dad- blamed bright.” First HOG (laconically)—“Yeah.” LEM (to another HOG) — “You needn’t act so lazy; a settin’ there in the sun. Some day you'll be another kind of bakin’. He, He.” Second HOG (laconically)— ‘Sow’s your old man.” CURTAIN.

It is considered poor form to offer the Registrar a drink on the day of ani : registration. Wait until you have been properly introduced. i} 4. Take all fraternity dinner invitations. It saves money. 5. Use good language when addressing a professor. You may convince the faculty that you do not need Freshman English. We tried this but failed.

You may become a missionary to the heathens near Lebanon. ag COURSES Political Economy—Every hour, every semester. An intensive study of the various graft systems and crooked deals used in the past. Tammany Hall applied directly to the Wabash campus. For the sake of sport and to help destitute students through college, the fraternities have been divided into the Big Six and Little Four, each making every effort to control everything. Laboratory fee of $5 for knives and guns. Athletics—Study is legalized mayhem and its effect on students from moral, God-fearing homes. First semester devoted to fundamentals, such as: 1. Primitive murder; 2. Death by strangling; 3. The use and handling of dull, blunt, instru- ments. Second semester takes up laboratory work on Ingalls Field. Text: From Freshman to Undertaker in Ten Lessons. Professors Vaughan, Reese and Scholler. American Literature—Contemporary American literature studied every evening. Reading elective. Required texts: the American Mercury, Whiz Bang, La Vie Paris- ienne (no reading necessary. You can look at pictures, can’t you?), The Wabash Bachelor. Excerpts from the Bible and the works of the eminent Francois Rabelais. Term paper required on any decent subject. Campustry—Six hour courses, and still too short. How to get by; the selecting of pipe-courses; the rise and decline of the balloon trouser; the shortcomings of town dates; hot lines and their effect on the hearers; letters pleading for money, etc. Must be taken by every student as a major course. You would take it anyhow, whether you had to or not. Gambling—The various systems. The pinch system of throwing dice; ace con- trol; how to read a form sheet. The students in this course must have a checkered suit and no sense of honor. No credit. Pool and billiard shooting required for entry. Hermann the Great has been secured to instruct the class in poker playing. Alcoholics—Comparatively new course, but being steadily enlarged to meet the demand. First semester: government alcohol and its disguises. Second senester: The various phases of the Wright Bone Dry Law; fooling Jerry Grimes; nosing oul speak-easies. Advanced work: preparation of non-lethal fluids, suitable for decorat- ing the human interior. Professor, Jack Bannister. 221 Cl Ca EE I + CE OSS EO | t Oi wees i Ba CHERAB e 2 ee % £ a . . hat nad -'- ‘ Foreword In editing this copy of the Handbook, Pi Delta Ep- silon is not only not trying to do the college a service, but it is trying to put Delta Tau Delta through college also.

God bless you.” And the old man bowed his head religiously. If Dan Perkins had had a mother she would probably have cried and said nice things, too, but alas, the poor boy had no mother. Of course, he had had one, but she had run away with the ice man either ten or eleven years ago, and, as the price of ice had steadily increased she had never come back. So his mothr wasn’t there, which was probably just as well, as the old man had had a hell of a time with her while she had lived with him. “God bless you, too,” said Dan, for he was an unselfish boy and always divided what was wished on him, including the gym itch which he had divided with his father, to the old man’s annoyance, and later, during the hot weather, intense dis- comfort. ? “May God bless you, my son,” said the old man, who forgot that he had said it before. “Same to you,” answered his son, facetiously, knowing that his pop had re- peated, yet not wanting to hurt the old gent’s feelings. Little things bothered the old man so. When the house had burned the year betore with all the belongings in it and none of the insurance on it, he had become very irate, and had talked to God and other people in a strange fashion. And when his wife had gone with the ice man he got sour for a week and didn’t take any more ice. The milk got sour too, for it was warm weather, and anyone knows that milk can’t stand the heat. Pa Perkins sometimes thought that it was warm weather that gave his wife the strange feeling for the ice man—he was a union ice man, although he had not paid up his dues for a long time—and anyway Mrs. Perkins always acted strangely when warm weather came. Perhaps it was a bit of the animal in her. The ice man had a canoe that was eighteen feet long. That is beside the point, however. After this last speech, Dan resolutely put on his hat which had a purple band, and yellow spots which were caused when he got caught in a shower. Mr. Perkins stuck out his hand. It was a nice hand although the finger nails weren't so very clean. Dan, remembering that the old man had a ring on the third (or was it fourth?) finger, playfully gave the hand a terrible squeeze, thereby mak- ing the ring, which, by the way was a sharp one, almost cut the flesh on the old man’s next fingers to the bone. “Ow, you blamed fool,” asserted the old codger, laughingly, and he gave his son a wicked sock in the solar plexus. Dan belched twice, felt to see if his money was in his pocket, picked up his carpet bag, slung his last winter’s coat over his arm, picked up his valise, picked up his ample lunch, and deftly picked the old man’s pocket as he was adjusting his suspenders and had modestly turned from his son while doing so. Mr. Perkins, for Dan and he were the only two people in the room at that time. although there had been more a few days ago when some relatives had dropped in 230 19 26 Ka + be eR 2 a a — fe I THE WABASH + i eS ES a a a for a visit, bowed his head for a minute of silent prayer. While he was doing this, Dan, who was an observing lad, saw his chance and sneaked out the front door. When the old man looked up and saw that his scion was gone he was very much perplexed, until his only progeny stuck his towsled head through the window and yelled, “April Fool, daddums!” His pappy seeing the joke, for it was only the first part of September, laughed heartily at his son’s evident good humor, and came back at his saying, “Oh, I don’t know, you rapscallion.” With this bit of badinage they parted the best of friends, although the fact that his old man had not even tried to kiss him still rankled a bit in the boy’s slightly perverted mind. He threw his shoulders back as far as they would go, which wasn’t very far because he was slightly muscle-bound, and breathed deep of the invigorating air from the stockyards, he started out. How many of the youth of our land are doing the same thing? Out into the world in the quest and thirst for knowledge they go. Unquenchable spirits, full of youth and vitality. Brave hearts! How many? Just lots and lots of them. Dan was no exception to the rule, for as we have said that’s exactly where he was head- ing for: college and a college education and all that it carries with it, which in- cludes other things such as: 1. A stern appreciation of the great commonwealth’s laws, namely, the Vol- stead Act, as well as the Mann Act, the Stamp Act, several Vaudeville Acts, and lots of little Covert Acts. 2. A chance to learn to meet men, and women too, to look them straight in the eye, to state your business, and to not take up too much of their time. Or, as Rotary has it, to play fair with the Golden Rule in business. 3. And lastly, but none the less important, the chance to scrub the other fellow’s back. So as Dan started out he felt the thrill of business, he heard the wheels of com- merce grinding the grist of business, which is, as anyone knows, economically what makes the world go round. Although it might go round anyway, because it has for so long. One never knows what might happen, though. 3 | oe And as Dan felt the thrill of accomplishment go over him he swore in case of a train or steamship disaster to let the women off first, to support the Child Labor Law, and to keep the dandruff off of his coat collar. With those resolutions his load seemed a little heavier, and with a clear, calm, virile look in his eye, the left one, he was saving the right one for something else, he started off with a Goodyear tread for the depot. He could think of no special reason why he should head for the depot except that the trains all stopped there, except nine of them which didn’t, but being in a hurry merely whistled politely, and in a sudden burst of enthusiasm he decided to take one of them, because the college was several hundred miles away and Aunt Sophy had made him promise to take care of his bunions. His aunt Sophy lived in Gary, but she was a good woman. She was good for a lot of things, but not for looks. Approximately one block from the station he stopped before a newsboy’s mart. “Paper?” said the little tike, for his business was selling them.

MACKINTOSH, Crawfordsville, Indiana (Continued from page 231) eae Se os) “Yes,” replied our hero, laconically. Dan and our hero are one and the same person, in fact they are identical. “Yes,” continued Dan, or our hero, “I believe I do want one. Let me see—are they two or three cents?” “Three,” asserted the lad, stubbornly, for he had his price. ‘““Haven’t you a mussed one you could give me a special price on?” “I’m afraid not, sir,” argued the boy tearfully, “You see, I’m the only support of a poor widowed mother, and my father gets drunk all the time and beats me, the dog, the mother, and little sister, who is a cripple, and can’t strike back at him, but can only curse him. In fact he beats all of us. But he is my father, at least mother tells him so, and I won’t talk nasty about him. I love him, indeed I do.” Tears fell from Dan’s eyes, and perspiration, for it was a hot day. “You believe I love him, don’t you, sir?” the boy pleaded. “You bet I do,” asserted Dan vehemently, wishing to alleviate the child’s anguish. “It’s good of you to say so, sir—you don’t know how much it helps me in my work. But now, back to business. How about that paper you were talking about?” “If I were sure it were in good condition, ’d——” mused Dan. “Oh, sir, I guarantee all my papers. Money back if not satisfied. Have no worry on that score, sir. I couldn’t afford to do business on any other basis. Why, sir, you're the first man who’s ever spoken to me like that. It hurts,” and the poor little tad broke down completely. “There, there, ll buy your paper. See the the bright, shiny pennies. See, see. I’m sorry I hurt your feelings.” The boy handed him a paper and took the money. “It’s folks like you who keep us down and grind us in the dirt of your capitalistic system,” cried the boy fiercely to our hero. He also kicked him on the shins. Dan stepped back with a sore leg and started toward the depot. All the way there he could see the dirty little urchin thumbing his nose at him. Dan laughed ruefully and said, philosophically: “The way of the world. One sees it everywhere. The woman always pays.” With that cheering thought he bounced up to the ticket window. “How do you do, sir,” he said to the ticket agent, for indeed it was the ticket agent. In fact, he had on a hai that said ticket agent on it, and unless he had bor- rowed someone else’s hat he was the ticket agent sure enough. “Fine, thanks, how’s yourself?” answered the ticket agent affectionately, for he loved horses. His wife often said of him, jokingly, of course, “Sometimes I think he loves horses more than he loves me. Why, would you believe it?—sometimes he rolls over in his sleep and neighs.” “I’m going to college,” said Dan, frankly, for he was a straightforward boy and didn’t believe in beating around the bush. “Gorgeous,” beamed the ticket agent. “Might I be so bold as to ask whether barber, business, or football college?” “Certainly, grandpap, you may ask, and [’ll answer you to the best of my ability,” replied Dan deprecatorily, for he respected white hair and many years. “T think I shall go to the last one named, for you see,” he explained, “I hate the smell of hair during warm weather, and as for business,—well, you know how busi- 234, re (EE : 1926 mw Foe | | Paes WAraAsH I: hb °° ° — oo ness is, so I think I shall attend the other. I adore football games, don’t you?” he finished winningly. “Dear me, yes,” answered the old hypocrite, who didn’t know any more about a football game than he did about the World Court, which knowledge of his was ter- ribly meager, “I find football games so ah, shall we say, ‘stadium’?” “Just the word, and so they are,” countered Dan, slyly laughing up his sleeve at the old man’s knowledge of Latin. The ticket agent, feeling himself in deep water and wishing to change the sub- ject, then said, 99 “Now, in regard to that ticket you were speaking of “T don’t remember having spoken of one,” rebutted Dan, in the perfect syntax for which he was noted down by the gas house, “But to be sure I do want one.” “What kind do you prefer?” broke in the agent sinisterly. A look of blankness spread over the face of our hero, for indeed he had not given variety a thought. He coughed once, then his naturally quick mind came to the rescue and he shot back, “What kind have you got?” “Pink, red, lavender, white, blue, and green,” reeled off the man drowsily. Dan gave a quick look at his necktie. It was red. Joy, a red ticket would give him a perfect match, provided of course, that the shade was right. “Give me a red one,” he demanded brusquely. Without a word the ticket agent threw it disdainfully on the counter. He had sold so many tickets that it was nothing new to sell one more. And he sold a lot of red ones, too. Dan took the ticket and walked over to the window. There, before God and everybody, in the pure, pale sunshine he matched ticket and tie. There was a per- ticket. The agent, in good spirits again, shook him by the hand and wished him “Bon Voyage,” and pecks of luck. Dan walked out on the platform. The bulletin board said that the train was one hour late. His Aunt Celina, however, had told him never to believe in signs, and he never had. One time he had seen a sign that said “Wet Paint.” The paint was wet and he had spoiled a suit. But Aunt Celina was right, for that was merely an exception to her rule. Soon a train thundered up. Immediately Dan ran up to the engineer and asked, “Ts this my train?” “What color is your ticket,’asked the pilot of the monster in slightly broken English. But anybody’s English would be broken, probably his back too, if he had made a long run with hand on throttle as that Big Teuton had. Dan took out his ticket, which he was holding in his hand, and studied it care- fully. “Red, I think,” he answered, plaintively. “Then, young man, this ain’t your train, Next aisle over—and it’s special bar- gain day, too. Dan didn’t think to say “thank you” for just then the blonde engineer expec torated a large quantity of tobacco juice, or at least it looked like tobacco juice, (Continued on page 238) 235 3 | fect co-ordination between them.

Dan turned away convulsively, in time to hear an apologetic laugh from the tonneau of the large “Iron Horse,” although it was not really a horse, but only called so because the ticket agent loved horses so and the president had given him the right to call it “Iron Horse” on his last birthday. He was fifty-five, but didn’t look a day over 39, and wasn’t, in fact, quite gray around the temples yet. “‘Reflection’’ The drowsy air of her boudoir was heavy with incense; it was subtle, enchant- ing. Rich velvet hangings lent an air of mystery—the whole room Was esoteric. Delitescent, veiled lights shone dimly from the high ceiling, throwing the opposite side of the room into shadowy relief. I knew, as I waited, how fortunate I was to be there, in this sanctum. Few were admitted to its precincts, and I—I had become a part of them. Henceforth it was mine—and its owner was my slave. I waited, impatiently; finally the cur- tains that concealed the other side of the chamber parted, and she came slowly in. Can mere words serve to describe her beauty? It was in perfect harmony with the Oriental surroundings; hers was a sinuous beauty. She stood in the doorway for a moment, allowing my eager eyes to drink in her exotic charm. Slowly she came towards me, walking with a queenly dignity, yet with a swaying, undulating grace. Deliberately she seated herself on the chair facing me, and leaned so close thal her hot breath was upon me. The soft perfume of her hair—the soft clinging gown that she wore—all about this woman made her irresistible. Her great, brown, langourous eyes surveyed me carefully, then slowly the heavy lids closed, and her Ry soft body relaxed. “You are beautiful tonight,” she said, slowly. And I was. I Was her dresser mirror. as ° ° 99 winging And so they were swinging on the gate. Far, far into the silly—pardon us, we mean stilly—far, far into the stilly night, they were swinging on the gate. Yea, the old picket gate creaked methodically to and ‘ro, and for every time it creaked to, it creaked fro. And they clung to it, moving with its every move, softly sighing unto each other. Far in the distance the ones moon was slowly sinking ni aromatic luminence. Ravenous cats pled hungrily to this same cheesy moon but it heeded not. It sank lower and lower. Still they swung on the old garden gate. Silence reigned supreme save for the soft swish of the cattle’s tails in the pasture as they Charlestoned by. Pax noctis reigned. There was no vulgar sound to break the perfect peace and contentment of this happy scene. Little Cupids flitted laughingly by, happy in the knowledge of another conquest. And still this pair of soulmates swung on the old garden gate. And why shouldn’t they swing? For they were the hinges and the chain was loose. 238 Laugh and the World Laughs With You WABASH CAVEMAN And Join the “Gang” When hungry or in need of School Supplies THE WABASH BOOK EXCHANGE Is at Your Service LAKE’S CAFE Quality, Service, Popular Prices aS, wot ka ene , a eo THE WABASH Ct | : WABASH COLLEGE USES EUREKA EQUIPMENT Em Roe Sporting Goods Co.

It is by the printed message that we are reminded of the lives of the famous authors who have gone before. By the use of type, paper and ink their works have been made immortal and their memory preserved through the de- cades of time. The friendships and pleasures of your school days can be recalled over and over again, and the memories of those days preserved indefinitely in an annual. To the classes that are to follow, we present this book as evidence of our ability as specialists in preserving the treasured memories of school days in printed form.
