years helped to add to the noise and excite- ment-the aerial bombs. This year, to co- operate with the defense program, the ath- letic authorities did not purchase the usual supply of bombs. The Victory Bell, housed in the bell tower just south of the stadium, rang whenever the Hornets were victorious, and one other time also. The other time was during a game when the band played The Victory Bell, an original composition by Orien Dalley, who was assisted by several band members. The song was written and played in the same key as that in which the bell rings, and the bell was rung in such a way that the notes of the bell synchronized with the band music. Band members de- clare that considerable mathematics was applied to the problem of having the bell ring in such a way that the sound reached the audience in the stadium at the same time as the music from the band. The bell- ringing was done by Dick Voots. He found it necessary to ring the bell by throwing the clapper against the bell instead of pulling on the rope in the usual manner, in order to time the bell with the music. It was es- timated by Mr. Dalley that three seconds were required for the sound of the bell to reach the stadium. Boss of all athletic affairs at Emporia State is the Athletic Board, presided over by President Thomas W. Butcher. Mem- bers of the board are President Butcher, W. D. Ross, C. K. Turner, Edwin J. Brown, Coach F. G. Welch, Secretary R. G. Cremer, Coach Paul Kutnink, Senior Representa- Prof. Clair K. Turner The Major-Domo tives John Zimmerman and Bob McGin- ness, Junior Representative Raymond Tip- pin, and President of the K Club, Ber- nard Sam Butterfield. What would a football game be without the ever-present public address system '? Emporia State has a large system which is maintained and operated by Physics Pro- fessor S. Winston Cram and his student as- sistants. Before each game Dr. Cram takes the equipment from the Science Building to the Stadium, sets it up and tests it. Speech Instructors Russell Porter and George R. Pflaum do the announcing, with Mr. Por- ter doing most of the play-by-play descrip- tion and Dr. Pflaum ad libbing during in- termission and introducing the bands and other numbers. A large corps of helpers is required to put up the canvas around the field, to watch the gates, to sell and take tickets. Professor Clair Turner was appointed by the Athletic Board to be the ma- jor domo in charge of all football games this year, and it was his ...Ny . .., .

nh... FOOTBALL CCSTS EXPENSE, expense, and more expense- yes, that's what makes a football team. But little does the average fan of the mil- lions who attend the various games through- out the country realize that it takes millions of dollars to purchase equipment, buy tape, medicine, and various other accessories that are essential before the thousands of teams in the United States can take the field for the opening kick-off. At Emporia State the same situation exists as in any other university, college, or private school. For example, during the past year the tape required to tape ankles, knees, shoulders, ribs, and arches of the Emporia State Hornets if laid out in one long strip would be approximately two and one-half miles long. Hornet trainers have used approximately 62 cartons of tape dur- ing the past gridiron season. Each carton contained six rolls of 2-inch tape, and each 22 Cheerleaders Alderson, Bad- wey, Whitmore and Wichert stand at attention as the Em- poria State Band, headed by Drum Major Charles Byers and Twirlers Mary Jane Knouse and Max Baird, marches in formation during the Hornet-Centaur game.

To get technical, during the past season, a check-up will show, approximately 267,840 square inches of tape was plastered on Hornet players. Also the bi-weekly laundry of athletic underwear and the up-keep of game equip- ment along with the paying of officials, coaches, and in some institutions, players, make the great game of football one of the most expensive as well as entertaining en- terprises in the nation. Visiting football teams usually get a guarantee of 3500. Of- ficials get from S20 to 2650 at most schools and each game requires three or four offi- cials. But with all of the above expense facing the athletic boards of every educational in- stitution in the country, still there are peo- ple who canit realize why college, or even high school tickets of admission, aren't sold at a dime a dozen.
