In answer to the archery craze which has been sweeping the country ever since the show Robin Hood, an archery tournament will be held next week. Gold, silver, and bronze medals will be given as prizes. From the winners of this tourn- ament, ten men will be selected to compete against the veteran women archers of the college. Prac- tice meets will be held this Thursday afternoon at 4 o ' clock. Prof. Boettcher predicts that within two years archery will be the popular sport that golf and tennis are today. Students should learn the art because of its social assets, Prof. Boettcher as- serts. PAGE TWENTY-TWO

Plans for the fall season intra-mural athletic program call for competition in touch football, cross country, soccer, volleyball and horseshoes. Class touch football got underway Saturday, October 7, when the sophomores defeated the freshmen 6 to 0. Within another week the inter- state touch football league will be started, and interest in this should be keen when the N. Y. boys meet the men of Pennsylvania. The inter- fraternity league will immediately follow. Information relative to the dates, eligibility, units of competition, and rules of the various sports on the fall program are posted on the bul- letin board. In regard to the rules for touch foot- ball, considerable revision is being done by intra- mural director Boettcher in an effort to make the game faster and eliminate the dangers of injur) ' . Those of you who witnessed the opening game at Westminster, discovered this to be a banner year for the men along the Buffalo. The Green and White showed plenty of drive and power in their initial encounter, although the lack of ex- perience hampered the Bison at times. The inex- perience will be overcome gradually as the season progresses. Composing this year ' s roster are fifteen vet- erans and twenty promising freshmen and upper- class men. Making up the starters at the terminal posts are Walter Kuhns, a sophomore, from Uniontown and Ken MacMurray, a freshman from West Al- exander, Pa. Bill Porter and Chet Gordan have proven themselves to be capable reserves for the varsity ends. Moving over to tackle, we find Tiny Morrill, a husky 220-pounder and Clair Ludwig, from Ebensburg, Pennsylvania. Their fine defensive play has made them outstanding in the line. The freshmen dominate the second team at this posi- tion, with Charles Drummond and Bill Nuemann in the role of reserve taackles. Terry Croushore, a veteran of four years, and Allen Dowler, a sophomore from Warwood, head the list of guards. Both boys have done exceed- ingly well in holding ud the center of the line. Roy Hoffman, stocky McKeesport freshman and Gordan Carroll, also a freshman, understudy the first string guards. Rounding out the line is Ray Scrapper Moore, playing at center. Although he is one of the lightest men on the squad, he lives up to his name of Scrapper . Francis Flannagan, a senior from Grafton, is the second string center. Bill Pearson, hard-hitting fullback, from Brownsville, who is playing his last year for Beth- any, has been a mainstay in the lir.e up in the early season games. Tony Salvato, a freshman from Uniontown. will undoubtedly see considerable service in the backfield this year. Tom Cullison, halfback and field general, shoulders the burden of passing and punting. George Petroff, playing the other half, is an elus- ive runner and will be a serious threat through- out the season. Sam Bernard and Bob Irvin, both veterans in the backfield, have bolstered the reserve strength of the backs. The fourth man in the backfield is Dick Jack- son, a sohomore from Holloway, Ohio. He plays quarterback and is tops in passing and receiving. Scotty Kaler, Jim Plummer, and Jack Simmeral are up and coming reserves who may see some service this year. The Green and White harriers open their 38 season on the 29th of October, when they meet Carnegie Tech at the difficult Schenley park course in Pittsburgh, after a month ' s training. In the early meets, the squad of twenty fresh- men and four veterans may be handicapped some- what by inexperience, but under the coaching of Prof. Boettcher, it is expected to turn in some commendable performances. Returning from last year ' s squad are Milt Parker, sensational as an individual performer, Darrell Fultz, a consistant placer, and the two Ryan boys. It is too early to predict what material will come out of the freshman group; but Watson, Dunlop, Schliff and Montagna have shown con- siderable ability in early training. Included a- mong the promising upperclass men are Joe White and Flash Gordan. The schedule for this year includes W. V. U., W J, Westminster, Pitt, Grove City, Geneva, Ohio U., and Muskingum. Efforts are underway to organize a tri-state meet similar to the track and field meet held each spring. The first annual intra-mural fall golf tourna- ment, quite an innovation to Bethany ' s intra- mural sports program, was held last Saturday, October 15, at Oglebay park. The tournament was held on the park ' s diffi- cult nine-hole course, with medals being awarded to the three best scorers. Toe Funk, of Beta Theta Pi, took first place and the gold award with a score of 41. Rexroad representing the faculty, trailed him with a 44 for second place and the silver palm.

JffrrHhmptt MUSTS MUSTN ' TS DEUTERONOMY Thou shalt not smoke on the campus. It ' s an old Bethany tradition, and besides, the administra- tion frowns on it. Thou shalt not play tennis on Sunday. Thou shalt not annoy the cows in the college barn — or the graves in the cemetery. Thou shalt not save up all thy clothes for one laundry case — nudity is frowned upon here. Thou shalt not cut chapel more than five times — save that walk till afternoon. Thou shalt not demonstrate thy school spirit by painting 1942 all over the campus. Thou shalt not linger more than 3 hours over a 5-cent coke. (A soda rates 6 hours, a sundae is good for the day.) Thou shalt not talk on the telephone for more than 3 hours at a time. Thou shalt not bull after 12 o ' clock (the next day). % % £ Thou shalt get enough sleep at night. The desks are so hard around here that insomnia often occurs in the daytime. Thou shalt stay clear of Breezy Heights Beer Garden. Thou shalt remember — the view from reservoir hill is much more effective in the daytime. Thou shalt beware of the cross-country team. They are always running around, strangely enough, across the country. Thou shalt show proper respect for upperclass- men at all times. (Adv ' t) Thou shalt go to the Beta walk (In case you didn ' t know) by walking down Pendleton road (past Miss Mahaffey ' s and Prof. Robert ' s houses) climb a fence, go around a pig pen, and, there you are. Thou shalt try writing home sometime when you don ' t need money. Thou shalt always remember Bethany is pri- marily an educational institution , especially after dark. Tho ' i shalt (ye gentlemen) try calling up for dates three days in advance at least (It ' s the legal limit) . Thou shalt always be a good little freshman, duly obedient and duly admiring of the upperclass- REVELATIONS This Bible is written in a sincere effort to help freshmen lead a happier life in Bethany, and to help you avoid some of the inevitable mis- takes. But if, with all the worldly wisdom of your seventeen or eighteen years, you look at the thing as so much upperclass froth, it will be your own loss. Since dating is probably the uppermost thing in your mind, let us consider that first. One of the frequent mistakes made is starting immediate- ly to go steady with some one person. Playing the field will get you further in the long run, little Fannie Frosh, even though you do feel flat- tered that Sammy Sohomore is fascinated enough by your charms to limit himself to your company exclusively. Don ' t feel too bad if you don ' t have a date for the big dance. Just take an excursion through the corridors of Phillips hall, and you ' ll see that at least 40% of the girls are dateless, and many of them from their own choosing. If you have a date, exercise some discretion about romantic proclivities, particularly in the drawing room, or you will find yourself furnish- ing an amusing show for the others present. Don ' t make your affection the object of everyone else ' s derision. Now for the question of study. After all, you did come here for an education, so don ' t subor- dinate your studying to having a good time. Plan your day, and prepare each class during the time you have scheduled for that purpose. Your grades will show exactly how much work you do. When you study, turn off the radio and turn out your friends. If they get mad, they don ' t have the stuff in them that real friends are made of anyway. There is also a sort of Bethany etiquette to observe, so remember such things as speaking to everyone and being quiet during serenades. Concerning extra-curricular activities, don ' t get membership in so many that you ' re of real value to none. Get acquainted with everything, the faculty, the library, the buildings, the traditions of the school, the village, the country-side, and above all — the students. Let us conclude with an admonition not to let college go to your head. PAGE TWENTY-THREE
