STILL KING REDMEN ANALYSIS The Redmen started the season slowly, but have finally snapped out of their losing ways and are starting to play the football we know they can play. A lack of offensive scoring punch was notieable in the hrst two games. Augustana roared back after the Carthage defense held them in check most of the game, with a last period goal to win 1M7. At Principia, a defensive collapse coupled with a bogged-down offense proved disasterous as we were defeated 20--7. The friendly confines of the Carthage Athletic Field proved the tonic the Redmen needed. Our arch rival, Culver-Stockton came to pay a visit loaded for bear, but went home with their tails between their legs. rIihis was not the same team who, just one week earlier, had been defeated 20e7. This was an inspired team who, before a home crowd, pushed Culver all over the Field to win 19e7. The following week a journey to Lakeland and a great team effort by the defensive unit brought a 7e0 victory home. The offensive and defensive line has been led by Denny Carr, Doug Donoho, and Art Jordan. The backfield stalwarts have been Bob Halsey, Stan Truckenbroad and a pleasant surprise in Jimmy Mounts, freshman halfback. As of now, the Redmen stand 2e2 in the win, loss column, and if the boys keep on rolling as they are, we can expect a big imprcwemcnt. TOP: Doug Donaho, line standout.

LEFT TO RIGHT Attendants jcm Mason, and Janenne Tam- bert, Queen Judy Ewigt Attendants Tiina Jukemaal, and Judy Ferron. Work day? We've been at it for two weeks! HOMECOMING Beginning the eventful 1959 Homecoming weekend was the traditional bonfire and pep rally on Thursday evening. Only the Fresh were privileged enough to wear their Pt st, although some did not think it quite the honor it was meant to be. Night was never so bright as the flames stretched their burning fingers to the cool air above, while illuminating Chief Carthogowickk Indian dance. Fresh- man skits were a new highlight for the evening Interest and enthusiasm soared as the cheerleaders led the group in some new cheers and helped them to relearn the old onest Following this everyone formed a snake dance that weaved through Memorial, across campus, and through Denhart to end pufhng at the Union. A perfect end for an exciting evening. Friday the doors opened as students streamed into chapel for the annual Homecoming Convocation. After a sentce and an address by Dr. Ernest D. Nielsen, Car- thage Alumnus, the big moment was at hand -- the crowning of the Queen. Escorted by the senior members of the football team, Wendy Olson and Mike Taylor, the homecoming court was introduced e jam Mason, Janeene Tambert, Tiina Jukhentaal, Judy Ferron - and the Queen of Homecoming 1959, Judy Ewig. But there was more to do and the students moved to the campus lawn for the Bag raising ceremony. Even the hBeaniest, got into the act as the rope-pulling contest ended in defeat for the Freshmen and an extended week of beanie wearingt Fin- ishing the last touches on the Heats and decorations came next as the annual Work Day began that afternoon. Rar- ing to have some fun after the tiring activities of the day, the co-ed show, Ko-ed Klose-ups featuring Kenosha Kut- outs, was the drawing card. Energy and time that had been spent for these periormances proved to be completely worth while. The show was a top-notch success with Dan Waehholz, Anita Kistner, Bob Reimers, and Sandy Brit- ten sharing lead honors.
