Governor Alf. Landon buys a Bulldog balloon at the McPherson- Bakcr football game. It was pre- ceding this game that Governor Landon dedicated our new athletic field. It was indeed a high honor for us to have such a person de- liver the dedication. An unusual feature of the Homecom- ing program last semester was the inaug- uration of a football queen in a special ceremony just preceding the Swede game. The queen, Miss Lillian Peter- son, center, was chosen in an all school election with student voting privileges based on the purchase of a Quadrangle. Runners-up were Estelle Baile, left, and Velma Watkins, right, who acted as at- tendants to Miss Peterson at the cere- mony.

1,- va- ,, '-. Y We're Proud of ' 0ur New Field Kansas Lends Governor Landon for the Dedi- cation---Field Developed Under Coach Binford. Upon returning to school last fall students and friends of the college were surprised and glad to see the develop- ment of a new athletic field. Last sum- mer the Board of Trustees took steps by which an athletic field was to be de- veloped at the college so that football games could be played on the college campus. Steps were taken to secure ad- ditional ground, to survey and grade the field and to sod it for use. Coach Bin- ford, to whom much of the credit goes, was given immediate charge of the pro- ject, and as a result he has developed for the college a first class athletic ground. The new field was dedicated on Oc- tober 18, and the climax of the dedica- tion ceremony was the dedication of the field delivered by Governor Alf M. Lan- don, after which the first home confer- ence game of the year, with Baker Uni- versity, was played, resulting in a score- less tie. Director San Romani's band re- view Was undoubtedly one of the most colorful and interesting features of the evening as seven bands and drum and bugle corps took part. This new de- velopment is indeed a valuable asset to the college and we are truly proud of it. COACH MELVIN J BINFORD

COACH LESTER BUD SELVES when all outside factors are given due consideration, is GRIDSTEBS TAKE FOUR A McPherson athletic team, as built by Coaches Binford and Selves, is formed around certain principles of sportsmanship and character which involves not the mere winning or losing of a contest, but something far more important. A summary of last season shows that four games were placed in the victory column, three in the loss column and two in the tie column. This, l not a bad ending. With the smallest squad in years the Bulldogs opened the 1935 season with a victory on our new athletic field, by taking Friends University with a score of 26-3. May this game be remembered by Galloping Ghost Zuhars' 81 yard run for a touchdown, and Haskell's interception of a pass and run of 25 yards for the fourth touch down The second game was with Bacone Indians from Oklahoma, from whom the Bulldogs won by a score of 14-6. The third game of the season and the first conference game for the Bulldogs was at Ottawa University where Fleet Footed Haskell continued the winning streak for the Bulldogs by making all the points of the game, the score being 13-0. ,, BACKFIELD HAUN, Halfback, CRABB, Quarterback HAPGOOD, Fullback ZUHARS, Halfback LINEMEN BURRESS, End GOLWELL, Tackle VASQUEZ, Guard RODELANDER, Ccntfr SEIDEL, Guard BARNGROVER, Tackl MOORE, End 20
