OOKING UP from the playing field we see the other side of this great game -the side of the spectator. Outstanding features included the traditional flag rais- ing ceremonies, aided this year by a mili- tary guard of honor from the boys in the military reserve training classes. The college band, under the direction of Orien Dalley, took over the ttfifteen minute intermissionsi, between halves of the home games and provided brilliant spectacles of marching and music. They assisted in the coronation of the Home- coming Queen during the Southwestern game, and between periods of the Hast- ings game they formed an A for the Army, an M for the Marines, and an N for the Navy While playing the songs of these three branches. Sigma Pi Sigma, girls pep organiza- tion, aided cheerleaders Laura Tucker, Mavis Richardson, Betty Long, and Marie Shaver in keeping up the pep Of a de- pleted student body. If this be the last football season for the duration of the war, it has been a great, if not a completely successful, sea- son. When once again the Hornets take to the field you may be sure that the Hor- net sting Will still be present. The Hor- net may have his wings clipped, but he Will never lose his sting.

On No- vember 7 , the men mounted the train for the Wichita game. By dressing on the train they arrived only slightly late. Again playing on a muddy field, the Hor- net machine bogged down to the tune of 27 to 6. This was another non-league loss for the Hornets. Whether one is superstitious or not, Friday the 13th is still an unlucky day. It proved doubly so on this November 13 when the Hornets met St. Benedictis. By losing this game they lost all chances of winning first place in the league. The Hornets just couldnt seem to ifclickii that night. The game ended 33 to 6 with the Hornets carrying the lighter number. For their last game of the season, Em- poria tangled with the Gorillas from the State Teachers College at Pittsburg. On November 21, the Hornets met the Pittsburg Gorillas in an attempt to force the league leading Pitt team into a tie for first place with St. Benedictis. A strong push in the first quarter caught the Hor- nets off guard and the Gorillas rolled up 13 points. Then the Hornet line tight- ened and the rest of the game moved back and forth on a muddy field without score. .26 ----------- .;:.I-':' .2. , -'.$I;I;Z:.. The 3K3 Club assembled with tri- umphant smiles and poised paddles when the freshman men who had violated a 3K3 Club rule by dating freshman women performed for the crowd at the Hastings-Emporia State game. The final gun rang down the curtain on the 1942 season with the Hornets trailing 13 to O. THUS ENDED the 1942 season of the Em- poria State team. By far the out- standing player on the Hornet squad this year was Co-captain Bernard Taylor. The broken field running of this Hornet back and his cool-headed quarterbacking kept Emporia in the running when it seemed useless to try further. The hats of Emporia State are off to you, Taylor. From his post behind the line, Co-cap- tain Curtis Fischer many times seemed to be the only Emporia defense. In the Wichita game, especially, he was all over the field and seemed to be in almost every Emporia State tackle. Taylor and Fischer, along with two other regulars, find graduation ringing down the curtain on their football careers at Emporia. The other two men are Mar- Vin Bayless, center; and Charlie Martin, end. As for the other 37 men on the squad, no one can predict how many will return when the Fall of 43 rolls around. Most of these boys are in reserves or will be in reserves. Their future depends upon Uncle Sam.

W Me, Private Horace Hargrove, guest of honor at the Emporia State Homecoming. And with their Homecom- ing queen- Oh to be king for a day! Well, the invitation arrived, and I talked it over with the C. O. tGood guy, the C. 03, were like this tcrossed fingem me on the bottom, of course. He said, iiSure Hargrove, take the week-end off, the month off ; in fact, personally, I donit care if you never come backlii SO I CAME; and golly, it was fun. 28 Q. S. W. T. Walking up the campus, I surely was surprised at what I found. Imagine-no decorations! Only the Administration Building, the Student Union, and the Sta- dium were decorated by various campus groups, financed by the Student Council. 'But when the Student Council twho controlled Homecoming for the first time this yeari explained that they were put- ting up fewer decorations this year to conserve money and materials for the war effort, I decided that it was pretty won- derful. This is the kind of patriotism that makes us fellows proud to march, march, march, and to drill, drill, drill.
