In the second half Coach Stu- ber substituted freely but the Drury morale was broken and the Blue Jay team gained yardage at will. In the final period Farrell and Barber scored touchdowns for the Jays. Bar- ber made his score by returning a Drury punt 65 yards behind line interference. L WILLARD Cox, Halfbaclc, Oklahoma City, Okla. For three years Puss has been a dependable cog in the Blue Jay backfield. He is responsible for successful Blue Jay offense attacks through his ability both to carry the ball and act as inter- ference. This year he also did the punting and kept the opponents' safety man playing deep. Next year, his last with us, will see Puss at his best. JAMES MCCLANAHAN, End, Maplewood, Mo. Mac, while never exceptionally outstanding, was a dependable end. His ability to break up the opponents' end runs won him honor. Mac was always among the first to reach his opponent on a punt and was a sure tackler. His next two years of football should be his best. JEROME BLANTON, Tackle, Malden, Mo. Red was outstanding in every game of the season, both on the offense and defense. Ends eighteen Next week the Rolla School of Mines defeated the Blue Jays 13 to 0 on Priest Field. It was Home-coming Day and a large crowd of West- minster alumni witnessed the game. This crowd was thrilled many times at the stiff bat- tle the light Blue Jay team put up against their Continued on page 22 who have played opposite Red will verify that he is one of the hardest tackles to get down in the conference. For two more years the opposing ends will meet an irresistible force. CARL PORCHEY, Guard, Crystal City, Mo. While basketball is his specialty Carl brings forth his lighting spirit on the gridiron. His ability to fill in the gap in the line when neces- sary makes him a valuable reserve man and with two years to go he can develop into a great line- man. CARROLL CREWS, Fullback, Fulton Mo. ' Doc was handicapped by lack of experience and couldn't get going this year. However, once started he was a task to stop. Doc,s specialty was line plunging, which accounted for several valuable gains in this field. With two more years his speed should enable him to develop into a valuable player.

T h e a n n u a l Reeves - McCluer summons for de- b a t e candidates was issued during late October and resulted in about forty men trying out for places in the test, held No- , eeeeee vember 12. The competition W a s fast and furious with the shouts of forensic combat carrying on quite a good bit later than midnight. After consultation the judges, Dr. Peoples, Dr. Reeves, and Dr. McC1uer, selected a squad of 22 men, the first ten to bear the burden of most of the varsity debating. The results of the debate season include ten victories, four defeats, and ten no-decision de- bates. All of the contests excepting the foreign debates and the debate with the University of Missouri were on the national Pi Kappa Delta question, Resolved: That the nations should adopt a policy of free trade. JEREMIAH B. REEVES Delxale Season T W o interna- tional debates fea- tured the season. Denzil Warden and Harry Jones m e t Cambridge University of Great Britain, De- cember 5, on the question, Re- solved: That the advancement of modern science constitutes a menace to civilization. The Eng- lish debaters, Holdsworth and Oatridge, pre- sented a logical and quite Witty negative case, but lost the decision of the audience by a slight margin. December 17, Charles McClure and Fritz Raymond Theodore Frankenfeld met the de- baters of the German Federation of Students on the question, Resolved: That the European criticisms of American culture are justified. The German speakers were Count von Blumen- thal and Herbert Schaumann, the latter now a student at Westminster. Westminster upheld Continued on page 19 F. L.

Debate Season-Continued the affirmative in this no-decision contest. Frankenfeld, surprised his friends and mysti- fied the audience by delivering his speech in what he asserted was the German tongue. McClure and Jones next invaded Louisiana, Mo., to oppose the University of Missouri on the chain-store question. After a heated clash, the Westminster afHrmative speakers managed to squeeze out a decision over Chrisman and Carlisle of the University by an audience ver- dict of 54-51. Fifteen debaters saw action during the sea- son. Most of the varsity debating, however, was done by the four top-ranking men, Jones, Keener, Warden, and McClure, who were nomi- nated for the Pi Kappa Delta debate tourna- ment. Harry Jones, first ranking and captain of the debating team, has been one of the out- standing debaters in the state for two years. Francis Keener, a fine debater last year, did even better work this season, shining especially when the debates were close, and with Jones, did the debating in the Pi Kappa Delta tour- nament. Denzil Warden, a senior with four years of excellent debating and the Degree of Special Distinction in Pi Kappa Delta, added to his record this year. Charles McClure, in his first season of varsity debate, displayed a bril- liant delivery and a cool head. Joe Bachelder, Charles Arbuthnot, Lawrence Hepple, Earl Dowell, Raymond Frankenfeld, Billy Van Matre, Walter Langtry, Vardaman Cockrell, Donald Close, John Reeves, and Her- bert Schaumann did fine work in the contests in which they were used.
