QUEEN OF THE GRIDIRON Estclla Losekc was crowned queen of the gridiron for 1933 in an impres- sive ceremony held before an audience of dads, alumni, students and faculty at the chapel hour November 3. Heralded by a flourish of trumpets played by Walter Olsen and Leslie Marks, the regal procession moved toward the platform in two lines headed by the Warriorettes and Tomahawks, pep societies, in colorful orange and black outfits. Following on one side were the four class presidents, John Anderson, Ellen Servine, Gray Bream and Emery Hoenshell, with Richard Wilson, Stu- dent Council head. In the other line was Miss Loseke followed by the other “M” club nominees, Mary Idalene Anderson, Marie Schuldt and Clara Hensel with Ervin Engel, “M” club president. Harrison Elmore and Francis Weihe, cheerleaders, completed the procession to the throne. After the coronation party was grouped on the green semi-circular plat- form, Engel explained the grid queen tradition. Nominees for the honor are chosen by members of the “M” club which annually sponsors the ceremony. Midland students vote on the nominees. The co-ed receiving the most votes is named queen anti the others become attendants. Wilson gave the proclamation and crowned the queen who was presented with a bouquet of orange chrysanthemums. As she was escorted to the throne, the group sang the Midland pep song. This is the fourth year of the celebration of the coronation. Lorraine Lovgren, Elfrida Petersen and Dorothy Kusel were chosen queens in 1930, ’31 and ’32 respectively. THE WARRIOR Page 7'

THE WARRIOR WITH THE WARRIORS Climaxing Dad’s day, the Warriors grabbed their first N. C. A. C. vic- tory by defeating the Doane Tigers 16 to o. Showing the best offense of the year, the Midlanders had things well under control throughout. Nelson con- tributed some smooth open field running, making one 50-yard return. The defensive play of Beckenbauer was a feature. Close to the heels of the first victory, the flashy Warrior team chalked up their second conference victory by defeating York, 19 to 6. During the Panther fray, the Midlanders showed their best power of the season, offensively by scoring 19 points while gaining 282 yards from scrimmage, and defensively by holding York for downs on the three-yard line. Nelson, Joel Lyman and Ellison were held in the spotlight for their offensive playing. York's only counter came after an alert Panther wingman grabbed the ball from a Warrior back and raced 60 yards to cross the goal line. Blotting out Midland's hopes of annexing the 1933 conference title, Hast- ings took undisputed first after defeating the Warriors 6 to o. Nevertheless they found Midland tough opposition. Midland’s passing attack, with Wilson and Nelson doing most of the receiving, brought gains totaling 128 yards. Engel and Beckenbauer featured Midland's play. The seniors: Wilson, Lyman, Engel, Davis, Jones and Gardner played outstanding ball in their last intercollegiate football. Ricky Wilson was named honorary captain of the 1933 football squad by members of the team. Qualities considered by the team were leadership, playing ability, training and loyalty. Ellison was Midland’s high scorer with four touchdowns, three points after touchdowns and a placekick for 30 points. Nelson with 235 yards was Midland’s leading ground gainer. Close behind was Ellison with 210 yards. Roether had 163 yards, Silas Lyman 119 yards, Gardner 113 yards, McGillis 97 yards, Joel Lyman 70 yards, Koudele 24 yards and Wilson, who carried the ball only once, six yards. Page 70

By winning this contest, Midland dropped the curtain on its N. C. A. C. season with a record of seven victories in eight games and 273 points to their opponents’ 167. This championship also gave to Coach Karl Lawrence, Center Garnie Davis and Forward Rickey Wilson a perfect championship record for their four years at Midland. During that time the Warriors have won 36 of 40 conference contests. No less than six of this year’s N. C. A. C. records dropped into the Warriors’ medicine bag in their championship run. Davis was responsible for three of the records, his 32 field goals and 22 free throws for an 86-point total sweeping individual scoring records. Midland also took first place in team scoring with 273 points and in team field goal making with 112. She was the only league team holding its opponents to less than 200 points. Pane 72
