This organization in- cludes the best athletes in school and has a powerful inHuence upon all campus officers. It is the plan ,of the coaches and the leaders of this organization to make membership within it one of the highest honors upon the campus. To be a letter- man in Westminster, to wear the big blue W is, to have more prestige than mere membership in any society, fraternity, or campus clique. The men who battle shoulder to shoulder in the muck and mire of the gridiron, who dash with flying feet down the basket ball court, the members of the varsity base- ball nine, the splendid athletes who dig their 'starting holes with spikes alongside of yours are the men who will always be the true blue in life's great game. In all of college memories one of the most cherished will always be that identified with your teammates, the men who wear the big W of blue.

' 1 1 JEAN SEXTON, '27 K-WWl6f1f1 M0- Fullbackg Weight, 2365 Height, 6 feet Big Jean, the mogul of the blue team, is known and feared throughout the conference. He is fast: hits a line .hke an express train and skirts the end to a nicety. 'He is a deadly tackler and seems to have a sixth sense 1n h1s ab1l1ty to size up passes. Jean is the captain-elect for 1926. Because of his work this year he was selected on the all-Missouri second team. Page 53 RAYMOND DURHAM 27 Sz Joseph Mo Right End Weight 160 Height 5 6 It may be truthfully said that Bobo was the most brilliant end that was seen this year It was Bobo that snatched a pass under the cross bar for the first touchdown against Wesleyan and it was Bobo who was the leading actor in numerous other hair raising plays Seldom was the opposi tion able to gain around his end. Bobo did not confine his endeavors to the football field of sport, but successfully com- pleted a courtship of short duration in matrimony. This alone does not distinguish him, however, but he will be long remembered by Blue jay supporters as the pluckiest little player who ever touched the gridiron. May he be back next season and enjoy with the Blue a successful season. Y , . , . ' 9 ' , z ' , - Bobo earned his third sweater on the eleven this-year. GEORGE SWEAZEY, '27 Fulton, M0- Guardg VVeight, 183, Height, 5-11 George was our left guard and an important factor in the solidity of our line, He was never whipped during the season and the man has yet to be found who kept him from breaking through. George earned his second W this year and it is hard to say in what phase of the game he excelled. His consistency and spirit that kept him fighting every minute account to a great degree for the success of the team. George will be back next year and he should exhibit a superior brand of football to any guard in the conference. MAX FARRINGTON, '27 Aurora, Mo. Captain, Quarterback: lVeight, 1555 Height, S-9.5 Max came back this year to serve again as field general of the Blue jay team and his knowledge of football tactics was of inestimable worth to the eleven. During the season he suffered from a twisted arch and a broken shoulder, but these serious injuries kept him from only one game. His ability to run back punts, to handle passes and accuracy at tackling, made him a necessary unit to the machine. Rated as one of the best quarterbacks in Missouri, we are anxious that he return and through his leadership capture the elusive pennant in 1926. Page 5 4 RAYMOND PALMER, '28 Hannibal, Mo. Fullbackq Weight, 190, Height, 6-3 ' F1rpo was one of the greatest line-smashers we had this season. He.handled the ball cleverly and was a con- sistent ground-gamer. Palmer earned his second letter this year. In the Central game, Palmer proved his worth on a muddy field and stayed in the game till the Blue Jay victory was assured. In the future, with the added experience of this season's battles, Palmer should prove to be a mainstay IH the Blue Jay backfield. MARCUS HARRISON, '28 Webb City, Mo. Halfbackg Weight, 162, Height, 5-10 Monk came through his second season as a Blue Jay warrior in great style. He was handicapped by injuries, being unable to finish the Central game, but in all other contests he was an outstanding broken-Held runner, display- ing his ability at Tarkio where he ran the kick-off back over the hundred yards for a touchdown. Harrison was selected as choice for halfback on the All-Missouri second team. Next season Monk should perform in All-American style for the old jinx can't follow him always. BURTON lWOORE, '28 Ifawisoniiille, Mn. Guardg Vlfeight, 1685 Height, 5-11 Burt earned his W this season after playing in every game on the schedule. He was one of the hardest working members of the Pixlee machine and the result was the reputa- tion that our line earned throughout the conference of being impenetrable. On the offensive Burt seldom failed to make an opening for the carriers and proved of unlimited value on the defensive where he succeeded admirably in imitating a concrete wall. Here's hoping he will be back seeking addi- tional laurels on the team of '26 and that he may be successful in attaining a victory over Wfilliam Jewel for which he labored so hard. Page 55 XVILLIAM BowMAm 243 Szkeston M0 Center NVe1ght 165 He1oht 6 B111 was probably the lightest center 1n the conference but what he lacked 1n weight he more than made up 1n fi ht and sp1r1t Bowman s passing was always accuiate and he proved to be a dependable defensive man HIS greatest asset was his uncanny ab111ty to break up passes Next year B111 w1l1 be back fighting for his second letter CORNELIUSIIDSTONE 'PS Dearborn Mo Guard VVe1ght 180 Helght 61 Needles made his first letter thls year as a tackle on the Blue Jay eleven Although hand1capped by an injury known as tarklers shoulder early 1n the season he later came through in great style L1ddy IS bxg fast and aggres sive With this year s experience he should be a tackle of the first water ,1 ' . 1 71 . , . .

Halfbackg Weight, 1623 Height, 5-10 Bai1y is an all-around back-fleld man. He can play end and push any man on the squad for a position in the line. This lad is a hustler in every position. His work in the Missouri-Wesleyan and Drury games is especially com- mendable. Page 5 6 HENRY IBA, '27 Easton, Mo. Endq XVeight, 165, Height, 6-l. 1'Hank Iba, after serving a year on the scrubs of 1923 and intensive training in road work in 1924, blossomed out as a real end in 1925. Iba is fast, a good tackler, and death on passes, as the aerial game is his long suit. With his experience of this year Hank should make the best end in the conference look to his laurels for next season. JOHN GROW, '29 Fulton, Mo. Center, Weight, 1803 Height, 5-11 Johnny is a football player now and a whiz in the making. Passing with deadly accuracy, combined with smashing, charging tactics, makes him feared on the offensive, while his work behind the line makes him a defensive player of no mean ability. Iohnny's only fault may be described as Freshmanitis. With this year's experience, watch the boy go in 1926. ROY PARKS, '29 Cameron, Mo. Tackle, Weight, 175, Height, 5-10 Roy is the hardest man to run off tackle plays over or at end runs around in the conference. He has a habit of attach- ing himself to a runner in the most annoying manner. . Parks proved his football brain early 1n the season by leaving his home town, which is also the home of NIISSOLIFI Wesleyan to make his letter on the Blue team. Although ROY had hls leg broken in practice just before the 'Wesleyan game and could not play against his brother who he says he can whip to a queen's taste, he was never heard to chant the blues. We need men like Parks and are mighty glad to have h1m back next year.

In the heart of every loyal Blue jay was a question which was asked many times daily. Could the team repeat its wonderful performance of last year? Many good men had been lost by graduation and Coach Pixlee based his hopes for a successful season on new material in several positions. The first game of the season was between freshmen and non-letter- men of Westminster and the cadets from M. M. A. The frosh team, under the leadership of Earl Moore, Captain Farrington's understudy, worked smoothly and at the Hnish had run up a 31-0 score. Kellerhals ran at will through the opposition and consequently made the first touchdown of the year. Botsford provided a thrill when he inter- cepted a pass and ran forty yards through the field for six points. Perhaps the most pleasing part of the game to Blue Jay fans was that we had a man who could punt. Time after time Meyers punted the water-soaked ball for large gains. This game out of the way, interest centered on the first conference game which was a game with Culver-Stockton. For three long quarters the fans sorrowfully watched the proceedings. It seemed that when a touchdown was within the grasp of a Jay either a fumble or a bad pass would result in a loss. In the last quarter, the backfield and line set to work to win and aided by the Heet Harrison and Pearson, and by the hard-hitting Sexton, two touchdowns were chalked up for Westminster. It was in this game that Parks, a freshman tackle, .scored a touch- down as a result of a pass from Farrington. Revived' .in .spirit at the showing they made in the last quarter, the team came home confident of giving their old rival, Jewell, a real battle. The interest of the campus the following week was on the game scheduled for Friday. Neither team had suffered a defeat and in reality this was a contest between two champions. But when Friday came there was another interesting thing to note. It had been raining all night and gave no signs of fairer weather. It might be added that the last ones to come home Friday night reported it to still be raining. The game started with the Blue Jays attired in rubber suits resembling to some extent the Fulton fire- fighters. Of course, playing in a veritable sea of mud prohibited the use of anything but straight football. In the second quarter Tolson got away and in two trials had crossed the goal line. Westminster came back strong in the last half, playing on the offensive all of the time, but at the crucial moment always lacked the necessary punch to chalk a score. Sweazey, Parks, Sexton and Monk, Harrison coped with the mud better than the other boys and were the outstanding luminaries of the game. It's over and it was a battle. Meyers, previously men- tioned as a freshman punter, on this afternoon kicked an innumerable of times a water-soaked ball for an average of forty-five yards. Of Pa ge 60 FOOTBALL SEASON 1925 Continued course there would be other games and other games with Jewell so the following week found the team scrxmmagmg in preparation for a game with Tarklo Vengeance is found in th1s game and the Blue jay eleven came through victorious under a 41 0 score The dark cloud that always hovers over a victory descended this time too over the jay camp Captain Farrington field general of the team in every game for two years had been injured and never again during the season was he in good enough condition to exhibit the brand of football that is customarily expected from him Marcus Harrison in this game wrote his name in bold letters on that list of immortal Westminster heroes Not content wlth tearing the opposing l1ne to shreds and scoring frequently he provided the fans with a final thrill by snarmg the ball on the goal l1ne on the kick off and carrying it the distance of the field and past eleven enemies for a touchdown Missouri Valley came to Fulton for a game and it looked easy to them for at the end of the half they led 9 0 The brand of football exhibited 1n the first half was the most crlminal outrage ever perpe trated before a Priest F 1eld patron In the second half Meyers and Shelton went in and the team seemed to have been inspired between the halves for Westminster soon had amassed eighteen points due to touchdowns by Pearson Shelton and Sexton Farrington and Parks were on the bench due to injuries Bagranoff and Gilfillan in the second half performed beautifully at tackles and Iba and Durham played a game at end that is pleasing to see Palmer in this game played good on the offensive always running a perfect interference and ga1n1ng good yardage at any opportunity The real struggle came in the game with Missouri Wesleyan This was the most exciting game ever witnessed on Priest Field At the end of the first half the Blue Jays were in the lead but 1n the first moments of the second half the Wescos pushed across two touchdowns This aroused the Blue Jay outfit They came back to win but 1t was too late In the closing minutes of the game they exh1b1ted a brand of playing that would de feat any team but when victory seemed w1th1n reach the whistle sounded and the second game had been lost that year 17 14. It was dark when the game was over but nothing could be as dark as the hearts of the fans, for they wanted that game as did the team, and it seemed as though they deserved it. It was Dad's day and everyone felt a little humiliated, to fail with our Dads looking on, but the depressed spirit was only temporary. The spirit is best expressed by the song Bobo Durham sang as he left the field after playing the best game of his life, Better times are coming, wait and see. The last game away from home was at Springfield with Drury. Several loads of fans went down to see the game and the team drove through in cars. Of course as a football game was scheduled that afternoon it had to rain, but 9 -:nu W 7 Y 1 ' y ' 1 ' 1 v 1 y ' 1 1 y ' 1 y 1 1 - . . , y J . 1 . , - v Page 61 FOOTBALL SEASON, 1r92,5mContinuedl not until enough of the game had been played to assure a Westminster victory. Farrington was again in the lineup and played good ball. Bagranoff picked up a fumble back of the Drury line and raced twenty- five yards for the first score of the game. This was the second freshman tackle to score this year. The game was easily Westminster's all the way through. Monk Harrison intercepted a Drury pass and carried it back for the final score. During part of the game the two halfback positions were being filled by the two Harrison brothers-Marcus or Monk at left and Bailey at right. Bailey was always good in this game for a consistent gain. Gilfillan played a remarkable game at tackle and the Drury corps had never ran against a pair of guards which did their work as quickly and as thoroughly as George Sweazey and Burt Moore. Westminster came off of the Held holding the long end of a 13-0 score. The problem which then presented itself was how to get home. Briefly, it took from that Friday afternoon till the following Monday for everyone to get back. Never was any college football team and rooting section so widely represented at the same time before, for there were two or three gathered together in every town between jefferson City and Buffalo. After getting dried out, preparations were begun for the Thanksgiving game with the Jay's .old rival, the Central Eagle. The confiict was to be staged in Fulton this year, and acting as hosts, the entire student body was busy. The day was all wet, but the spirit on neither side was dampened. The game started as do all battles between the Eagle and the Blue jay, with a deafening roar. Our 'veteran backfield, Sexton, Pearson, F arrington, and Harrison worked smoothly. Harrison hurt an old injury and was replaced by Palmer. All of the boys played well. The line too, came through with their usual strength. Sexton, Shelton and Farrington accounted for the three touchdowns. Durham helped by following the ball and on every Central fumble he would recover. Central was defeated 19-0, and another successful season was brought to a glorious conclusion. Al- though the championship was not won, in fact, though we lost two games, we are proud of the hard playing and the fine sportsmanship of our team. Westminster owes a great debt to every man on the team and to Coach Pixlee, for they worked together admirably. They put up the best losing fight possible and though they lost, they were not whipped. To Cunningham and Pearson, who leave us through graduation, we take this opportunity of thanking you for the efforts and sacrifices you have made in the last four years for your Alma Mater. Your names shall always be remembered on the campus and your present friends will forever respect you because you always put out your best. f P ge 62 l . , . i ' . .V I Page 63 W BAS KET BALL CHAMPIONS SCORES FOR SEASON ' Westminster. . . ...,. 34 3 Missouri Valley .... . . 11 Westminster. . . . . 33 Culver-Stockton. . . . . . 27 Westminster . 31 Culver-Stockton .... . . 29 Westminster . . . 36 Tarkio ........... . . 12 Westminster .... . . . 34 William Jewell .... . . 22 Westminster .... . . . 29 ' William Jewell .... . . 19 Westminster .... . . . 49 Culver-Stockton .... . . . 38 Westminster. . . . 34 Central ....... . . . . . . 27 Westminster .... . . . 27 Central .......... . . 32 Westminster .... . . . 48 William Jewell .... . . 42 Westminster. . . . 32 William Jewell ....... . . 18 Westminster. . . . 46 V Missouri Wesleyan .... . . 16 Westminster. . . . 45 Missouri Wesleyan .... . . 14 Westminster. . . . 30 Central .......... . . . 20 Westminster. . . 37 Central ........ . . . 29 Westminster. . . 61 Missouri Valley. . . . . . 14 Total ,.... .... 6 06 Total. . . . . . 370 Page 64 HEBRY IBA Easton Mo Captain Center Hank was captain of the Blue jay quintet and through his remarkable ability to handle the ball and a ressi t gg ve spiri inspired the team during the darkest moments of the crucial games so that they fought the opposing team off their feet Hank knows basket ball tactics and the application of a necessary amount of science coupled with his accuracy made him high point man of the state Iba was chosen captain of the all Missouri basket ball team this 5 ear He will wear the Falule nevt season vshich should be the best xear on the court or 1m r . .. I ' - , 1 1 , . 4 LLOYD HARRIS J ackson, Mo ' Guard Hawis is another member of the champions' aggre- gation that was chosen on the all-Missouri selection. Harris had played the year before and much'was expected from him by the fans. Not only did he fulfill their expectations but excelled on ideas of a good guard. The way he broke up play after play under the basket was a pleasant but oft- repeated sight. On the offensive he could jump to the rafters to get Hank's tip-off and was an important cog in the machine- like worklof the team. l l CHARLES HUBBARD Clarkton, Mo. Forward Charlie completed his second season as a regular and we hope he will be back next year. Hubbard's playing is char- acterized by the adept manner in which he can work the ball within scoring distance and then unassisted complete the play. After the intensive training afforded by this sea- son's campaign, Blue Jay supporters expect Charlie to be one of the star forwards of the state next year. Page 65 l 3 l E l l L l. JACK CONNER, '28 Jlifditland, M0- Forward jack, playing his second season on the Blue :lay five, was the outstanding forward of the conference. His playing in the first two Central games marked him as the offensive star of the team. Time and again he dropped the ball through the basket when points were most needed. Jack was honored by being placed on the all-conference team at forward. RICHARD BOTSFORD, '29 St. Joseph, Mo. Forward Dick was the most aggressive man on the team. He always followed the ball and being fast and shifty was in the thick of the iight at all times. Although playing a forward position most of the season, Botsford was a defensive player of unusual ability. Dick was only a freshman this year, so he has a long career ahead of him as a Westminster athlete. RICHARD MASON, '29 Paris, Mo. Guard . This was Dick's Hrst year at Westminster and he earned his letter sweater. Early in the season critics thought Dick handicapped by his size. After his first appearance on the Court under fire he showed what a little man Could do. There- after he held down a permanent berth on the team. Dick is rated as one of the best floor men of the conference. Pros- pects for next year are brightened due to the fact that he will be back. Page 66 HOWARD TRIGGS Rosendale, M n. Triggs was a tirst-year man on the team but fitted in admirably, as he combined the necessary elements, speed and basket ball sense with a strong desire to win. Many a strong team was unable to work their pet plays over Howard. Triggs will be in school next year and fighting again for an- other championship. THE RESERVES OT all of the credit given a Championship Basket Ball team must go to those who were members of the first team. To the men who took the knocks, and punishment so that the rest might become better, goes a great part of the credit. They were faithful to every duty, tireless in their effort to help the others, and loyal to every trait of a sportsman. These men, whose names should be written on the Roll of Honor, are: Dulaney, Duncan, E. Moore, Boyd, and Hope. Page 67 BASKET BALL SEASON 1926 HEN PRACTICE hrst started the prospects for basket ball at Westminster this year looked poor. There were only two letter men in college, Hubbard and Iba. While they were both star players, it is not encouraging to have to build a quintet around two men. Providence smiled on the Blue Jay camp soon, for when the second semester started, Floyd Harris, the greatest guard that ever wore a Westminster suit was back. In addition, the freshman squad was worth looking at, and it was found that they supplied a wealth of new material which aided to a large extent in the race. As usual though, when prospects seemed the worst, the clouds vanished and these men, coupled with the scoring strength of the midget Conner who came back also, presented a scoring combination and a defensive machine which sport critics saw would be hard to stop. Mason and Botsford impressed the followers of the Blue jay more than any new man had for years, and these first impressions were certainly lived. up to during the battles of the race. Each man on the squad was a demon with the ball and everyone knew that the problem which confronted Coach Pixlee was to instill a spirit of team play into the hearts of the men and to develop a system of play which during the campaign would become second nature to the men. A basket ball team is a quantity which cannot be judged until it is seen on the lioor. Hence it was with anxiety in their hearts that the Blue supporters went out to McBride gymnasium to see the first game of the year, one with Missouri Valley. The grandstand was not held long in suspense for Bullard opened the hostilities with a long shot which counted and the Vikings were never again able to be onequal terms with the Hashy Blue quintet. The final score of 36-13 does not truly indicate the large margin by which Westminster outclassed their opponents. After that game there was a sigh of contentment over the hill and down the Stinson, and the student body got ready for a long hard hght with their final aim, the Championship of Missouri. They saw by the way their team acted under ire that they had a chance, and that is all a loyal Blue Jay rooter ever asks for. Two of the hardest games of the year came next on the schedule. Culver-Stockton was supposed to have a better team than they had ever had and they had been winning pennants in recent years. Coach Pixlee left on this trip with eight men, taking the recently-ar- rived Conner along. 33-29 and 32-29 were the scores of these two games. It might be truthfully said that the Westminster 'boys were crowded, but in neither game nor series played with Culver-Stockton, either in Canton or Fulton, were there even moments when the opposing five stacked up as a team worthy of winning from Westminster. Triggs played his first game in a Westminster suit in this series. He showed himself capable as a lighting guard and worked nicely under the enemy's ' Page 68 BASKET BALL SEASON 1926 Continued basket Conner s playing began to attract attention in this series and it was not a week later till his name had been flashed around the circuit as the most dangerous shot in the conference In addition to being a good shot he proved himself a floor man of the highest repute Time after time Jack slipped in and got the ball when it seemed the enemy had already counted jack d1d his most accurate scoring from the center of the floor and could always be depended on if necessity forced him to shoot backwards over his head Tarkio came next on the list and was easily downed 38 to 14 The team was slow due to the fact that the previous two nights had been spent battling Culver Stockton Botsford did most of the scoring for the home team in the first half In the latter period Iba showed the type of player he is by opening up on the enemy with everything that it is possible for a basket ball player to adopt He took the ball through the entire team for a basket he would pass the ball for a basket or he could drop one through the hoop at will from any spot on the Hoor It seemed as though all these games had been a routine that must be gone through 1n order to meet the Cardinals that big red team from Liberty In every fan s heart there still lurked that feeling of revenge for that defeat administered in the mud battle the fall before West m1nster was victorious in four games this year with the Jewell outfit Two were played in the home camp of each team the superiority of the Westminster team was brought to light most forcibly in the two games at Liberty A play by play account of these games IS impossible but a Blue Jay rooter would have lost all Judgment to have seen Conner make those long shots To see Iba race up and down that floor handling the ball like a greyhound in the race was a thrill long to remember Botsford scored frequently and when the enemy came down on the offensive Dick Mason and Floyd Harris were there to do their best to stop them and their best was a superior brand of guarding to any ever witnessed in this circuit. The rest of the loop was completed on their trip and Westminster won all of these games. Q y mn: 1 ' . . . . v . . , . - . 2 Y . , . . 1 . ' ' , - 1 I - There were two games with Central to be played on the Fulton court before the Jays went to Fayette. Westminster defeated Central in the Hrst of these games as she had all of her rivals previously. The next night there is a break in the string of victories. The Blue team did not have that dash when they came on the floor which had been so impressive all year. It seemed as though they lacked something all during the game and the result was that Central nosed out ahead. It seemed as though this was purposely allowed, just to break the monotony, for in the two games at Fayette the Westminster team came through vic- torious, thereby winning the college championship of the State of Missouri. Most of Fulton went over to see those games at Fayette, for a Championship hung on that outcome. Boys slept through First Pg69 l I 6 T l ll ' ,: ly!

BASKET BALL SEASON, 1926-mCContinuedl hours the next day and many cases of flu were contracted from riding an open Ford to the Eagle's nest. The Central Gym was packed, but a section had been reserved for Westminster and the spirits of that section penetrated the whole of the multitude. The boys seemed confident as they stepped on the floor. They Went about their work like men who had something to do quickly and knew just how to do it. That first game cinched the pennant 5. but just to make things sure, they won again the next night and came back to the'BlueiJay nest reigning again over the state as champions. To praise this group of men who brought so much honor to our dear institution would ap- pear as idle chatter, but really to understand how the students feel toward their efforts one has to be on the campus and see the 'respect with which they regarded them. None of these men graduate this year, and as they are all real supporters of Westminster We have every assurancethat next year's team will be composed of about the same familiar faces. No team could have been much more successful and no team could have established the reputation around the loop for clean play and good sportsmanship as these boys did. Westminster is proud of them. To Captain Iba: All success to you and your men in the future. May you truly realize the esteem which Westminster men hold for you and reciprocate by bringing back another champion- ship next year.

' As far as a real workout is concerned, much has been done in the way of oiling gloves and scraping bats, but hitting and fielding practice has been noticeable only by its absence. Judging by appearances, however, at this writing, the team should repeat their championship performance of last year. On March 21st, a short time before our mid-summer winter began changing our plans, a call for baseball candidates was posted. Result- 32 men of good, mediocre, and poor ability reported, including six letter-men from last year's team. True, McKnelly is gone, and we will miss the big Irishman with the mighty right armg equally true is Captain Durham gone. Ray is not going to report this year and we shall miss our sure-fire third sacker with his timely wallop in a rally, as he is the original little man with the big club when it comes to hitting, We will miss Coty Carter 'and Jack Hopke, too, but from the wealth of material we hope to creditably fill each place. Page 72 l I l l l 4 l lPROSlPlECTSmContinued ' Of the letter-men back, we have Farrington, behind the plate, who hopes to make his third letter this year. Lidstone is a husky pitcher with a future. Liddy has everything he needs except experienceg he can get that. Iba, the lanky first sacker, is back. Hank will probably be out in the center garden this year, hanging up a record for the boys in later years to shoot at. Cunningham, a hard-working inhelder, will possibly go to first where, I predict, he will star. Pete has a world of ability. Featherston, that hard-hitting, Hy-chasing ball hound, will very likely play short, which he can do to the queen's taste. He handles ground balls in fine shape, has a good arm, is fast, and knows baseball. Cohen, the Hashiest and most graceful outfielder, is back. If Phil hits his stride it's just a word to the wise to watch his batting average this year. Cave is a long-legged outfielder who hits from the port side. VVhen he picks up his long black club and walks to the plate the opposing pitcher waves his outfielders back and then away back. Carl has an annoying habit of hitting them from a small town to a large one. N ow for a look at the rookies. I Starkloff, a big first baseman, looks like the money. He handles himself like a ball player and hits like a big timer. Rawdon, a fast, hard-hitting outfielder, will push someone for a garden position. Duncan, a catcher, looks good and will offer Farrington some real competition for the receiving job. HMonk Har- rison reported for practice and seems to look good on the infield. If he can hit, someone will have to move over to make room for him around second base. Dulaney looks good on the infield. He will probably work from the keystone sack. Moore, McKnelly, Nixon, Meyer, Coombs and Maxwell, are all pitchers who look good. They have been working indoors for over two weeks and are rounding into shape for the opening games. The schedule this year includes 14 conference games, two games with Missouri University, and possible games with VVashington and Oklahoma Universities.

Hamilton came to Westminster as track coach. Now we have a real track team. Simple, isn't it? Starting with raw material, Ham has built one of the foremost contenders for the track championship in the college circles of the state. At this time we have had only one track meet this year, but ah! that one! A real meet, that was not decided until the Hnal relay, but as the anchor man broke the tape, a victory was rung up for the Blue, against her ancient enemy, William Jewell. Score, Westminster, GQMQ William Jewell, 54V2. Just a glance at some of the men on the track squad. First, is big Pot Sexton, captain of the team. Jean holds the conference record in the shot-put, and has bettered his old record this year. He can certainly push the little iron ball in a nice shape. Sheetz is the fastest man on the squad. He steps the hundred, two-twenty, and the quarter in top time, and he also pulls a mean anchor in the relay team. Pearson, his running mate, is usually about one-half step behind-it really is a toss-up. Duck will push any man in the conference for hrst honors. Tom Botts, the long, clean-limbed fellow, is the hurdling lad. Tom is a timber-topper to perfection, has excellent form and speed, and a heart that is built on fight. Sweazey runs a good half-mile, and is steadily improving in the discus workouts. He is also getting more distance in the javelin throw. Simmons and Brouillette are the high jumpers. Simmons also runs the low hurdles in good time, winning a second against Jewell. Boyd is a broad jumper of no mean ability, and holds a record in the discus, and the school record in the javelin. Phelps, Alloway, White, Dumm, Blumentritt, Bozman and Dally are all distance men who may be depended upon to make points for their Alma Mater. Duncan seems to be the best pole vaulter we have, though Strode and lVIcClintic make him do his stuff to keep ahead of them. Nixon does everything and most of them well. The relay team consists of Bozman, Sweazey, Pearson and Sheetz, and they are all nice baton passers. ' Meets with Kemper and Central will prove the worth of the spike wearers. The real test will come in the state meet at Cameron, and we are expecting great things of the 1926 track team.

This is in keeping with a tradition established years ago by our alma mater of selecting a queen of love, grace, and beauty. In presenting Miss' Hereford with this signal honor, the Blue Jay recognized both her personality, attractiveness, and interest she has shown for two years in Westminster's activities. During this time, Miss Hereford has been a student at Synodi- cal College and isa popular and talented Semmie. She is a member of Beta Sigma Omicron sorority and has achieved honor on her own campus through her untiring efforts in furthering college activities. She is our Queen and may she reign all her life supreme over those qualities, Virtue, Beauty and Personality, which won this honor for her.

Years ago when Westminster students and Fulton people packed the old Courthouse to hear the Blue jay debaters beat the representatives of the University of Missouri, debating was not so popular throughout the country as it is now, and this interest was noteworthy. The tradi- tion which has carried Westminster to the heights in debating was in the making in that day and has become identified with the Westminster of today. This tradition has inspired many students to serious and sustained efforts. It has made a place upon Westminster's debating teams one of the high honors of the campus. It has been maintained by the lively interest of the entire student body-an interest which must not be allowed to wane with repeated victories. It has carried the name of Westminster to the four corners of the country and given her a place of undisputed leadership in the Middle West. In attaining this degree of excellency, there has been no over- emphasis of coaching. Each debater informs himself thoroughly on the subject, and works out his own plan of attack-of course, having the benefit of criticism and adapting himself toharmonious team work. Neither do the faculty advisers give all of their attention to one or two teams, sacrificing everything to the winning of victories. Six teams of two or three members have been used this season, and every year from twelve to eighteen men are given an opportunity in intercollegiate contest. - The excellency of Westminster's work in debate is suggested by the remarkable record she has made in the last dozen years. The Blue Jay debaters have won 61 of their last 75 decision contests. The University of Pennsylvania, Washington University, Colorado Agri- cultural College, Denver University, the University of Wyoming, the University of Missouri, and the University of Southern California are among the institutions defeated by Westminster teams. Perhaps the outstanding debate of recent years was that with Oxford University of England, held before two thousand people at Kansas City, the audience vote supporting Westminster's side of the argument 976 to 245. Each year a Westminster team tours the east, or the west, engaging in a series of debates with some of the best teams in the country. West- minster is now second upon the list of those for whom the International Institute of Education is arranging a schedule of debates with Oxford Cambridge, and other English Universities. Next fall an International Debate will be held with representatives of the University of Sidney, Australia. Y Westminster debaters concluded the 1925 season Cin which they engaged in twelve debates without losing a decisionj, with a unanimous victory over the University of Pennsylvania at Philadelphia. So far g P Y ,Il ,xl l age 90 DEBATTNG SEASUN Continued this season the teams have won eight of ten debates and have main tamed the high standards set by the teams of previous years The first debate of the season was a spl1t team debate with the University of Wyoming held as a feature of the first invitation high school debating tournament held 1n the Middle West Raymond Kroggel and Mr L1bert of Wyoming won the audience dec1s1on from C Brown and Mr Pence of Wyoming The winners defended the negative of the child labor question The hlgh school tournament, by the way, was a great success L1neberry and Kroggel won the first dec1s1on of the year March 24 over Centre College of Danville, Kentucky, and then proceeded on to Fayette, where Westmmster's superiority over Central in debating was again manifested in the w1nn1ng of a 2-1 decision. The Central team put up a great fight, but the Blue Jays were not to be denied, and made it 10 victories of the last 12 debates with Central. Accompanied by Dr. Reeves, they then continued westward to represent Westminster at the national convention of Pi Kappa Delta at Estes Park, Colorado, where they made a splendid record in the debating tournament. They won from Culver-Stockton of Missouri, St. Thomas of Minnesota, Pitts- burg Teachers of Kansas, and Simpson of Iowa, and lost to Bethany of Kansas and Augustana of Minnesota. PI. A. l. ' . I ' v - They stayed in the tournament to be one of seven left of sixty-four entries. In the meantime Eugene Abbott, William Bowman, and Ray- mond Garner wrested a unanimous decision from Missouri Valley, and John Calvin Brown and Archie Kennel defeated Central Wesleyan 2-1. The schedule for the remainder of the season follows: April 15-Cunningham, Haley, and Comfort vs. Mo.-Wesleyan. April 17-Sweazey and Lamkin vs. Culver-Stockton. April 20-Lineberry and Sweazey vs. University of Arizona. April 20-CTeam to be selectedj vs. William Jewell. April 21-Lineberry and Sweazey vs. Washington University. Debate to be broadcast from KMOX, St. Louis. April 23-Lamkin, Lineberry and Sweazey vs. William Jewell. Page 91 Pl KAPPA DELTA ISSOURI ALPHA CHAPTER of Pi Kappa Delta, a national forensic fraternity, was installed at Westminster College in 1919, and has enjoyed an uninterrupted and profitable existence ever since. v Only men who have participated in intercollegiate debate or oratory are eligible for membership. Missouri Alpha is therefore an active chapter because Westminster representatives in these two activities have been remarkably successful. Pi Kappa Delta promotes a further interest in college forensics, as well as provides an organization for debaters and orators. Men are graded according to their achievement, by the awarding of different degrees. This fraternity also aids in the bringing together of repre- sentatives of different 'colleges over the country in a fraternalispirit that adds much to the spirit and pleasure of intercollegiate contests. This year Missouri Alpha was 'represented at the National Con- vention, held in Estes Park, Colorado, by Kenneth Lineberry and Raymond Kroggel, who brought distinction to the Chapter and College by going to the semi-finals in the national debating tourney. We are proud of our season, and hope that in the future Westq minster Debaters and Orators will add more and more honors to our enviable record.

Twenty high schools had enterezd teams, though Wellsville was com pelled to withdraw because of illness. Fifty-two debaters, with their faculty advisers, were the guests of the VX-'estminster students during the tournament. Teams from the follow' h l ' - ' ' ing sc oos took part in the contests. Clinton, Columbia, Fayette, Harrisonville, Jackson, Jennings, Joplin, Kemper Military School, Keytesville, Leadwood, Macon, Moberly, Mokane, Pacific, Paris, Rockville, Troy, University City, and Webster Groves. The contests were conducted as an elimination tournament. In the first round, however, each school debated both sides of the question used Cthat of the federal regulation of child laborj and, winning upon either side, continued in the tournament. One defeat in any of the succeeding rounds sufficed to eliminate. The tournament was opened with a debate between Mokane and Pacific at Swope Chapel at 3:00 o'clock Thursday afternoon, March 18. From that time until Saturday evening one might hear stirring argument upon stepping into either the Presbyterian or Methodist church, or Swope Chapel, any time after 8:00 o'clock in the morning. In the thirtieth and last debate of the tourney, Webster Groves defeated Jackson 4-1 and was declared the winner of the tourney. Prizes were awarded by the presiding officer, Hon. J. R. Baker. The trophy cup passed into the possession of Webster Groves for a year, but is to be held permanently only after it has been won three times by the same school. A trophy shield was also awarded the winning team, and a loving cup was awarded as second prize to the Jackson team. The tournament was a great success. A high order of debating and the finest kind of sportsmanship prevailed throughout. All the visit- ing debaters expressed an enthusiastic desire to return next year, when it was announced that the tournament would be held as an annual affair.

C. A., an organization whose purpose is to bring the men face to face with their Christian duties, to lead the students, thru faith in God, to membership in the church, and thence into a useful Christian life. The Y. M. C. A. on Westminster's campus is essentially a student organization, presided over by students, and governed by a cabinet of twelve men, who are elected by the students. These men have as their object 'lService, and work for the better- ment of the religious side of the men's lives. The Y has been consistent and thorough in its Work this year, and has done its work in a quiet, effective way. At the beginning of the year, men were met at the trains, and assisted in finding rooms. A Handbook of Westminster was published, containing they traditions and history and interesting facts con- cerning the college. A desk blotter was got out and given to each member of the student body. Later work has been the bringing of speakers from different parts of the country to speak at the Thursday morning services, and at the regular Thursday evening Y meeting. During the fall a week of meetings sponsored by the Association was led by Dr. Jenny of St. Louis. Several receptions were held for the men, and during the month of March, the William Woods Gymnasium was obtained, thru the generosity of Dr. Cockrell, for an evening of swimming and fun. All of these have been well attended and appreciated. It is hoped that with the coming years that the Y. M. C. A. will become more important in the lives of the men. -,4 g. .W 4: 1 1 ill: ll l 1 1 . ill 'fl v 1 r 1 xi. A .,.,., rim A.. .lpn l, ,l' 4-., l'l ll iff .li fx . lil ,, l ll? ill i' ,iz -A lil ill ..

MUSTARD SEEDS N EVERY college there is a need for someone to lead the stu- dents in their support of outside activities, someone to back those activities not merely in spirit, but in a material way, with money and work. It needs some person or organization which will function more easily and quickly than the student body. It needs someone to manage ticket sales for football gamesgsome- one to help provide equipment for athletic teams when regular means fail. Until 1921 this part was played in Westminster by individuals outside the college or by individual students. But in that year the Mustard Seed was organized, not to replace any other organi- zation, but to fill this need, a need not adequately cared for. The name of this organization is taken from that seed of which the Parable speaks-the smallest of seeds and yet growing so large that birds may roost in its branches. The Mustard Seed has so lived up to this motto that it has actually grown from the smallest of seeds until now it has become one of the most important, if not the most important, of Westminster campus organizations. Its membership is limited to a convenient working number, 13, which leaves room for only men of outstanding ability, and which makes membership in it a coveted honor. The place where the usefulness of the Mustard Seeds has been felt most is probably in the rendering of financial assistance to the various activities of the college. This money has been raised in sundry ways. A number of quite successful campus fairs have been held, plays have been given, and concession stands have been especially successful. All the money raised has gone to Westminster activities. In 1921, the organization purchased baseball uniforms for the team, in 1922-23 its funds were divided between the debating teams and the athletic association, in 1923 it helped in the pur-- chase of athletic shirts, in 1924, it presented the championship football team with gold footballs, andl many other, less notice- able, though nevertheless important things have been done which have been felt and appreciated. May the Mustard Seed continue to grow and to become even more useful than it is today.

It is made up of men who have proved their worth, by a period of pledge duty, in assisting the cheer leaders in keeping the stands worked up to the highest possible pitch. Their work consists in planning stunts and novelties for the games, in direct- ing the parades, and promoting any idea for the betterment of the Westminster spirit. This year saw a new duty thrust upon them: that of handling the ushering at the games. Although a little out of the regular routine, they did the work cheerfully, and well. Several new ideas were incorporated in the Razzberry pro- gram this year and they proved very effective. When the twenty- five members marched, lock-step, onto the field their white uni- forms attracted the attention of every spectator, and their war cry of 'fBeat Central, or of Beat Jewell, could not help but instill the desire of victory into even the most uninterested of the spec- tators. This organization promises in the future to be the most material aid to the success of our teams, as they continue to make a name for Westminster. j l l Page 109 1, J tx 1 Ill Ei' EI' I.-a:f' 2 THE DORMJITORY CLUB OFFICERS JOHN PAUL MCKINSEY . President TOM BOTTS . . Vice-President HARVEY NEVILLE . Treasurer Page I 10 Page 111 THE DORIWITURY HE DORMITORY CLUB was organized Five years ago, filling a need for an Organization rounding out the campus of West- minster. Men who lived in the dormitory 4 saw the uselessness of such a number of men living in the same building as individuals rather than as a unit, and sought to remedy this defect by promoting fellowship through the Dormitory Club. Since that time the club has had its ups and downs, starting from practical obscurity, until its success has become unquestioned, going far beyond the highest hopes of its founders. In all the activities of the college, the Dormitory has been quite prominent. It has had its share on the athletic held, especi- ally in football and track. In debate, the Club has also been well represented, but the most outstanding showing has been in scholar- ship. On the Honor Roll, the Club had much more than its quota of members. Checkers, chess, and horseshoes are the chief sports in the Club. Checkers and chess are played through the entire year, the horse- shoe season opens in the Spring. When the horseshoe season is well under way, a tournament is held, in which the majority of club members partake, manifesting great interest, and showing a fine, friendly spirit of competition. A prize is given, this year by Professor Hamilton, to the winner of the tournament. One of the most important events of the year is the Dormitory Banquet, held near the close of each year. Here the members all get together with the faculty as their guests, and enjoy a profitable, pleasant evening. This annual affair lingers in the memory of many as a farewell banquet. xl-- ff .M il ! r ,li 6,1 l, P1 fli sly '-1: .li .,, fl Fil QM ij, GLEE CLUB HE GLEE CLUB this year was, without doubt, one of the best ever sent out by a Missouri College. Under the co-direction of Mrs, N, T, Cave Offfhis City, and P1'OfCSSOI' Ernest Cox, of the Music Department of Stephens College, the twenty men who were picked, worked hard during the months preceding the Spring Concert Tour, and their energies were rewarded by the popular comment that the concert was the best ever given in Fulton. The tour this year took the men into several cities in which a Westminster Glee Club had never sung, and everywhere the pro- gram was accepted with enthusiasm and requests were made to come again in future years. Following the initial concert at Fulton, the Club sang in Boonville, Marshall, Higginsville, Kansas City, Lees Summit, Pleasant Hill, Webb City, Clinton, Sedalia, Cali- fornia, Rich Hill, and jefferson City. During April the Club broadcasts its program over the radio at KFRU, Columbia, Mo. And plans are now in effect to take the Club on aweek-end trip' to Moberly and Mexico. The program this year was varied and was well balanced. Aside from the general ensemble songs, a number of special numbers were given. The banjo duet by Edmunds and Garner was repeated from last year, and proved a popular attraction. The cornet solos by Wood were especially appreciated, as were the Sax duets by Christman and Nisbet. The Male Quartet this year was deserving of special note. Their work on the Serenade from the Student Prince was often pronounced the best number on the program. Garner again repeated his chalk talk, which was amusing and clever. A feature of the concert this year was an eight-piece orchestra, which, with their setting of blue and white, presented a pleasing picture, as well as entrancing music. The soprano solos by Mrs. Cave and the piano solos by Miss Arrington were most attractive. Taken as a whole the Club this year was very successful from every standpoint, and each concert was met with heavy applause and appreciation.
