Four dependable Bison backfieldmen: — Petroff, Cormanv. Jackson, and Cullison In regards to the games yet to be played, one is really sticking his neck out and asking for it when he attempts to say anything definite. Al- though an attempt was made to pin Coach down to something definite, he deftly evaded the issue and made the following remark, or at last a reas- onable facsimile: W. J. is still plenty strong and rates just about as they did last year. Geneva is just about the same as W. J., with some im- provement. Fairmont in- dications right now are that she is not so strong, although by the time we meet her there will un- doubtedly be improve- ment. Knight has scouted some of the others al- ready and is making plans to take a look at the remainder before we meet them. It is too early to make any comments about basketball outside of the fact that the schedule, with one or two ex- ceptions, is complete. To get back to Boettcher in the barber chair before he loses every hair in his head ! The cross- country team this year will lean heavily on fresh- man material what with the loss of McCarthy, Parker and Ryan. The two returning lettermen are Montagna and Red Ryan and the other men from last year are Cramblet, Wright, and Mc- Cord. All told to date, twenty-five frosh have turned out, but at the time of this writing there have been no time trials and hence there is noth- ing definite as to just what the story will be. It Is Your Team Support It The schedule as set up now stands with Car- negie Tech on the 27th of October, Hiram on November 4, Westminster on the 10th of No- vember and Muskingum and Ohio U yet to be arranged. Carnegie will be the toughest as they have, with the exception of one man, the same team they had last year. All the meets with the exception of Muskingum will be held here, which will be a large factor in our favor as we are granted the toughest course in this part of the country, most of the oth- ers being considerably flatter. We have an enviable record in cross-country meets here at Bethany and a sort of self-satisfied gleam pops into Boettcher ' s eyes when he mentions it, for which one can hardly blame him. Even with the loss of Ryan, McCarthy and Parker the situation doesn ' t look so awfully bad. This year ' s frosh will more than fill the shoes of these men. With two undefeated seasons behind them the Galloping Bisons are looking forward confidently to a repetition of the same sort of successful season this year. In regards to track, which can be worked on this fall, Boettch says we will feel the loss of Bob Sovetts, but that with others of last year ' s fresh- man team coming into shape the outlook is not absolutely black. Laird will take over some of Bob ' s specialties, but there are one or two spots, continued inside back cover PAGE ELEVEN

NEWS COPY edited by JOHN COSTANZA atively mild birth this year. Coach Walter E. Boettcher, con- ducting an initial meeting with typical informality on the steps of the Main building, found only three fraternities represented. While touch-footballers of Al- pha Kappa Pi, Kappa Alpha, and non-fraternity readily ayed his suggestions. Coach Boettcher formulated plans for the league season. Maximum size of any team is nine men. Quarters are 10 minutes in length. Players must wear shoes with heelless rubber soles, to protect the turf on the new Rine field. In the case of a tie game, Coach Boettcher and his pro- teges decided, a new game shall immediately be started, and the first team to score shall be de- clared the winner of the contest. • Subject of much legend and of an article in last year ' s Betb- antan, Milton Carlin, famed signer of bulletin board an- nouncements, dispelled some of the mystery surrounding himself when he visited Bethany several weeks ago. Carlin, who graduated in ' 37, is known to most Bethanians only as a signature scrawled on official notices. Actually he is a member of the United Press staff, in Buffalo. During his visit to his Alma Mater, Carlin stayed with Bill Marsh, of Marsh Manor. • Acting vigorously under the new Sunday ruling, Mrs. Gibson, proprietor of the College Inn, In spite of the rain, Bethany ' s Band helped open Rine Field, and cheered the Bison on Student rendezvous.

H. Cramblet from her home in Biberach, Germany, say- ing in part: It was a very interesting and valuable experience to me to stay over here in such a lovely place, and to learn to know and to like the people, the country, and such a fine American Col- lege. I was especially fortunate to be at Bethany, which has shown me all the time the spirit of cheerful friendliness and the will of understanding. Another German student, Karl Heyers, who studied at Bethany during 1936 and 1937, has writ- ten to Alumni Secretary George C. Hettler, saying he would like to visit Bethany during the cen- tennial year, but must needs complete his studies at the Uni- versity of Bonn. Since Mr. Hey- er ' s message was written before the outbreak of the European war, it is not known whether he is taking part in the fighting. • Students join hands with pro- fessors in a new Bethany club created to expedite the inter- change of ideas between students and faculty in friendly, informal conversations. Named the Gargoyles , the new organization plans to meet twice monthly at luncheon or dinner engagements. Students in the Gargoyle club are Caro- line Butchko, Lester Raub, Don- ald Regier, Virginia Richard- son, William Rutter, Jean Short, and Mary Jane South. Faculty members are Dr. Flor- ence M. Hoagland, E. E. Rob- erts, Rev. Dwigh t Stevenson, Dr. H. O. Werner, and Dr. F. K. Woolery. • Interfraternity football, now rabidly partisan, had a compar- PAGE THIRTEEN
