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

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.

IIUT 0F TIE TWO The next game was with Baker Uni- versity and was the dedication game of our new field. This game was a battle if there ever was a battle, from start to finish, and is voiced as one of the great- est games ever witnessed by McPherson fans, even though it ended in a scoreless tie. Th Bulldogs' line and Haun's punt- ing should be given considerable credit. The fifth game was at Bethel College and marked the first defeat for the Bull- dogs, and it being the first time in the history of the two schools that this situa- tion has happened. The game was played on a rain soaked field and the Bulldogs were unable to score, the score being 7-0. The next foe to face the Bulldogs was the Swedes of Bethany College, from whom the Bulldogs won by a 26-6 score. Zuhars accounted for two touchdowns. Haun and Stratman one each. The next two games marked the sec- ond and third defeat for the Bulldogs, one to College of Emporia by a score of 7-0, and one to Emporia State Teachers College by a score of 41-6. In the Col- lege of Emporia game the Bulldogs were not playing up to par as in the game be- fore. Haun's punting got the Bulldogs out of dangerous territory time and again.
