Missouri Valley College - Sabiduria Yearbook (Marshall, MO)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1949 volume:

Here is your 1949 SABIDUBIA Published by the Students of MISSDUHI VALLEY EDLLEGE Marshall, Missouri Intruduction 1949 was a big year for Missouri Valley and the year saw many changes in the college. The year 1949 was another year fitted with fun and study for Viking students. It all began in the middle of September when the hustle and bustle of registration got underway. Sweating out getting the right courses and trying to find that one usnap course that means so much to all students. Then came the football games on Friday night and the fun that goes with another Viking victory. The trips to other campuses to watch the Vikings march on and the parades that went with victories. h9h yes. during this part of the fan students also began to worry about midsemester examina- tions. Then there were the dances and get acquainted sessions in the Student Union. There was a big watermelon party where there was more watermelon than the students could hotel. And always there was HLooIdng South on Brunswick appearing each week in the Hin- famous Delta. Gossip about who was going with who. Everyone protested at having their name in the column. hut everyone loved it. There was a little three-day hreak at Thanksr giving and then Christmas parties were being held an over the campus. There was also the taste of defeat at Evansville and the big welcome home to the greatest foothall team any cottege ever had. There was sadness at losing. but everyone turned out on a chilling afternoon to welcome the hoys home. After Christmas there was the period of worry when everyone talked about Cyene Burnett's con- dition as a result of the Florida game. Then came the snows and ice skating and sleigh riding. Then came finals. Before we knew it, spring was here and there were track meets. Picnics were held amt no one will ever forget the Sigma Nu and Alpha Sigma Phi picnic. This introduction merely catches some or the highlights. Our hope is that this book will bring back many memories of happy days spent at Mis- souri Valley College.

Dedication It is the custom each year to dedicate the Sahi- duria to a person who has served the college both loyalty and we . Certainty Dr. J. Frederick Doer- ing fills that order. In dedicating this book. we are more enthusi- astic than usual because Dr. Doering has not only served loyalty and well. but he has been magnificent in his job as Chief Interim Ad- ministrator. We doubt it there is a more popular man on our campus. Truly he is the students choice for this dedication. We don't have a barrel of big high sounding words for this dedication anci we now Dr. Doering would not want that kind of dedication. Dr. Doering has only been with us for two years and yet we have grown to love him and respect him. And why does one man receive this vote of confidence from the students? Dr. Doering first served as Dean of the College his first year and then as Chief Administrator his second year. Never in those two years was he ever too busy to help a student. His door was always open to all students. Any student could walk into Dr. Doerings office with any problem and feel perfectly certain that he would get kind consideration and friendly help from Dr. Doering. And the students appreciate what Dr. Doering has done as Chief Administrator of the college. He has given the administration effective leader- ship and has been the direct cause of many im- provements. Academically. Missouri Valley College is a much better school because of his efforts. The curriculum has been improved and enlarged largely due to his foresight and hard work Today, directly because of his efforts and work, Missouri Valley College possesses a syllabus which has been a great aid to both students and faculty. These are some of the reasons we dedicate this hook to Dr. Doering. All students Imow him and trust him and appreciate his work. Thus we dedicate this book to a man who has literally given everything he had to help make Missouri Valley College a better school. And we hope and imow that as long as he is with Missouri Valley, this college will keep on growing. Dean of Women The Dean of Women, Miss Nelle Barnharl was one of the most popular people on Missouri Valley's campus in many a decade. She had a genuine desire to help all students in every way possible. Dean Barnhart gave fine leadership to student activities. She later left to become Dean of Women at Depauw University. Page 9 Dean of Men Homer C. Harlan came to lVlissouri Valley College in September 1948 as Dean of IVIen. Dean Harlan was extremely popular among the men of Valley. He was always available for conferences and guidance. He took an active part in the life of the student body. He later left in the Spring to pursue further graduate work. Dow G.

Page 51 Beta Beta Beta The Gamma Xi Chapter of Beta Beta Beta, 61 National Honorary Biological Fraternity, was granted a charter at Missouri Valley in 1929. Tri-Beta is a society for students of the hi0- Iogical sciences. Its purpose is to emphasize stimu- lation of sound scholarship, dissemination of scientific knowledge, and promotion of biological research. The National Fraternity publishes Bios , a magazine devoted to biological papers of interest and research. Members of chapters all over the world contribute to this magazine. Membership is limited to those persons who expect to major or minor in the field of biological science and who are making a B average in biology courses in Which they are enrolled. Regular meetings are held twice monthly, one oi which is held in conjunction with the Science Club. These meetings are designed to cultivate intellectual interest in the natural sciences and to promote a better appreciation of the value of biological study. OFFICERS President . Vice-President Secretary Treasurer H istorian Advisor Harold Thayer Norma Sullivan Atha Henley . . Bill Speise Elizabeth Harrison Dr. Lawrence Thomas Davidsbundler The leading music society on the campus of Missouri Valley College is Davidshuncuer. This group of students and faculty represent the fore- most musical organization on the campus. During the school year they sponsored many musical concerts and programs that interested the student body. The members put in many hours at their pur- suit of good music and each is a master in his or her own selected medium. The past year has been one of accomplishment and several interesting programs were presented For the student body and townspeople and it is hoped that this organization will grow larger and add more to the cultural life or our college. The officers this past year were: President Rose Marie White Vice-President Edwin Borgman Secretary-Treasurer Louis Dunlap Page 53 Pi Gamma Mu The Missouri Zeta Chapter of Pi Gamma N111. a National Social Science Honor Society, has been a part of Missouri Valley since the charter was granted in 1031. This organization is instru- mental in furthering the social sciences, in influ- encing students in college to high scholastic achievements. and in promoting social service. Membership is limited to those on the faculty and to junior and senior students who have com- pleted at least twenty hours of work in the social sciences with a grade of B or above. At monthly meetings during the year, members and guest speakers gave talks on various sub- jects which were related to the social sciences. Such reports have been made on displaced per- sons, presidential conventions. and the integration of sciences. With Dr. Belle Campbell Huff as sponsor, Pi Gamma Mu has become one of the leading honorary organizations on the campus with a present roll of seventeen members. OFFICERS President .

The students are selected by the faculty of each college and the choice is based upon character, leadership, schol- arship, and potentialities of future usefulness to business and society. The book contains a short biography of each person selected and is sent to large business concerns all over America. This year, six students achieved this distinc- tion at Missouri Valley College.

Delta The Delta staff was the very best this year that it has ever been and the thanks of the student body should be forwarded to every member. For the first time the Delta became a weekly and for the first time the Delta carried national adver- tising. The editor. Steve Murphy was responsible for securing this bonanza for a Missouri College Newspapers and because of this was elected Vice- President of the Missouri College Newspaper Association. Jim Mueller of the advertising staff sold the first full page of advertising when the new Mary-Lou theatre opened and made many friends among the townspeople before he left at the end of the semester for California. Others on the staff worked diligently and the entire result was a better, bigger and more inter- esting Delta. Sahiduria Publishing a Sabiduria this year has been an exceptionally difficult task. Since the beginning of the school year there have been three editors. and this book is the hybrid product of the best of each. We tacked experienced help and only through a direct appeal to the student body were we able to produce this book. This Sahldurla is a mirror of untrained personnel and is not to be accepted as a pattern for the future. The only hope is that those of you who would criticize think first of the difficulties involved in such an undertaking. Then if you must criticize, do so understandingly. Regardless of which stand you take, bear in mind that we look forward to your cooperation and appreciation of a job completed under tremendous difficulty. Dick DeKruyff, Audrae Bredberg.

Page 59 The Ehapel Ehnir The Chapel Choir is an organization, the chief purpose of which is to furnish a suitable musical background for an impressive Chapel service at the convocation hour. It numbers twenty-four students of the music department, including the most outstanding vocal talent of the college. Many of its members are also in religious organizations. both on and off the campus. Some assist with gospel team work in the surrounding districts on Sunday. All types of music written for church use are in its repertoire. Special selections are presented at each chapel service. The personnel is to be commended on the efficient and faithful service they have rendered the college. It is under the direction or Dr. Claude L. Fichthorn. A Cappella Chair Each year students who are interested in choral group singing join the A Cappella Choir under the direction of Mr. Louis Hansen. Early this spring the A Cappella Choir went on an extensive tour through Missouri. Besides providing valuable experience for the members, the Choir also renders a service to the College by presenting the Music Department to many prospective students. Included in the itinerary this year were such places as Chillicothe, Macon, Mexico, Lexington, Slater. Glasgow, Salisbury, Hamilton, and Shelhina. The Choir also made three overnight trips to Kansas City, St. Louis, and into Southern Missouri; Carthage, Nevada, Butler, Clinton, Neosho, and Windsor. The Choir trips will always be remembered by the students as some of the finest memories of their college days. OFFICERS President . Viceepresident Secretary-Treasurer Librarian Director Robert Oertet Marie White Mary Hudson Helen Vers Louis Hansen Page 61 Student Senate One of the most misunderstood and misquoted organizations on the campus is Student Senate. Composed of nine members this past year, the Senate tried hard to interpret student attitudes and reaction to college policy. Under the guidance of Steve Murphy, the president, many new policies were formulated and the future should bring a more active Senate and more satisfactory student government. After two semesters without female representation. it was a pleasure to welcome Miss Elizabeth Harrison to this year's group. The coming year will bring larger responsibility and greater scope to Student Senate and for the good of the greatest number, Student Senate will continue its Functions. Student Senate Social Committee This group of representatives of a organiza- tions on campus were the backbone of the campus social life this past year. Under the able leader- ship of Dick DeKruytf the committee had charge of the social calendar and sponsored many fine activities for the student body. The new chair- man of this committee will be the vice-president of Student Senate also and greater endeavor will be put forth to bring more and varied activities before the students of Missouri Valley College.

Page 64 Ministerial Group The Ministerial Group, formerly known as Chi Alpha Omega, is a new and progressive group on the Missouri Valley campus. Chi Alpha Omega was disbanded after the war and the new group was open to all interested students. The primary purpose of this organization is to provide fellowship for men who are antici- pating entrance into the Christian ministry as their life,s work. At the regular weekly meetings, subjects. aims, ideals, and problems of mutual Chairman Faculty Advisor OFFICERS interest are discussed. Interest for the organization among members of the group seems to be on the increase. and it is hoped that the oragnization will take on a more formal nature in the near future. The highlight of the organization's activi- ties comes once each year near the close of the spring semester when they have a chance to assist in conducting a regular Sunday service at the Odell Avenue Presbyterian Church 01 Marshall. Luehrman Pinkston Page 65 Alpha Phi Omega Alpha Phi Omega, National Service Fraternity, was founded in 1927 at Lafayette College, Easton, Pennsylvania, uto assemble college men in the Fellowship ot the Scout Oath and Law to develop friendship. and to promote. service to humanity Since its beginning, APO has grown to one hundre an seventy-six chapters and has had twenty-two thousand members. Epsilon Epsilon Chapter was installed on the campus of Valley in 1947, with twenty-five mem- hers and eight faculty advisors. Its membership now totals forty. Alpha Phi Omega has conducted drives for the Red Cross, March of Dimes, and C.A.R.E., giving benefit dances and sponsoring an Ugly Man-Sag Oueen contest. The chapter has furnished scoutmasters t0 Marsha scout troops and has set up a blood donating service to Fitzgihhon Memorial Hospital. On the campus, the Hag on the quad is raised and lowered at the proper hours by APO men. Alpha Phi members also assisted the faculty with its reception for new students and aided Dr. Bartle in honoring Dr. Schuck: the concession stand at footah games was also conducted by their members. Alpha Phi Omega is not all work and no play, however. There are conventions, both national and regional, to attend; and during the last semester the chapter pledged $150 to help a .amily 110m Europe enter this country and come to Marshall. A banquet is held in, honor of each pledge class and picnics, hayrides, anti chili sup- pers have provided entertainment for members. Essentially a service fraternity, Alpha Phi Omega has a weH-rounded program which makes it one of the most successful organizations of the campus at Missouri Valley.

Banta Page 66 Band Under the able leadership of Mr. Louis Hansen, the College Band has again had a very active year on the MVC campus, providing music for all the home football games and organizing spe- cial drills during the half-time periods. High- lights of the season were trips to Kansas City for the game With Ottawa University, to Canton for Culver-Stockton, to Liberty for William Jewell, and a two-day trip to Evansville, Indiana, for the Refrigerator Bowl event. The hand has also served for other occasions, such as the homecoming and the Armistice Day parade. Evening concerts were presented in De- cember and May, and a special Christmas assem- bly program was also a part of the entertainment provided by the hand during the year. The entire membership of the hand is to be commended for its fine spirit of cooperation with- out which such a successful year would not have been possible. Special thanks go to Bill Wochen- Fuss for his splendid job and services as drum major, and the able assistance of the majorettes, Audrae Bredherg, Jean MCDougal, Dorthea Roscher, and Norma Jo Smith.

Noel Cowardts Hay Fever under the able direction of Mr. Ralph Vorhis. was presented and very we received by the audience. March 15, 1949, was the second and final pro- duction of the season and it was Philip Barry's hHoliday. In this production the director, Mr. Ralph Vorhis. designed the sets used and their construction was completed by the class in play production. These two theatrical presentations were most enjoyable and furnished valuable experience to a who participated in them.

The YWCA, one of the oldest organizations of the campus, was founded to foster an inde pendent group for encouraging Christian ideals of character and of service. This year the Young Womens Christian Association functioned with its usual concern for the betterment of social and spiritual life on the campus. The YWCA decorated the tables for Valleys annual Thanksgiving Dinner held in the cafe- teria of Young Ha . They also sponsored, in con- junction with APO. several dances at the Student Union, among which were the Halloween Dance, the Cherry Tree Twirl, and the Shamrock Shag. The upperciass members welcomed all new Stu- dents with their annual Big and Little Sister picnic held on the lawn in front of Young Hall. This group also participated actively in Religious Emphasis Week. Under the able direction of the officers and sponsor, this organization has done much to make this year a valuable one to the entire student body. OFFICERS President Martha Lamar Vice-President Elizabeth Harrison Secretary Shirley Wheeler Treasurer . . Lily Jung Sponsor Mrs. Esther Liffring Buspel Team There have been three active Gospel Teams at Missouri Valley during 1948-49. Each team is made up of three or four students consisting of two preaching students and a pianist. When an extra student is available, a helper is sent along with the teams, and music students at the college often go out with the teams to furnish some kind of special music. It is the purpose of the Gospel Team to con- duct wors ip services in churches that do not have a regular pastor In these worship services the teams make no denominational distinctions in making appointments or in conducting the services. Several different church denominations were represented by members of the teams this -Secretary year Most of the trips made by the Gospel Teamg :; Moderator are made to small rural churches which would not have services on those Sundays were it not for the efforts of the teams. At one of the churches in Marshall, services were conducted on the third Sunday of each month during the school year. Two other churches were supported by the Gospel Teams on alternate Sundays during a part of the year. The parishioners have expressed their appreciation to the teams for their service and the members of the teams feel that they have benefited also. OFFICERS .Team Captains: Earnest Krueger, Betty Montag, Ernest Luehrman. Martha Lamarr Ernest Luehrman Page 70 Student Union Cummittee Under the able direction of Dr. SteHwagen the Student Union Committee rendered invaluable service to the student body this past year. There was never a time when an organization on the campus was refused use of the Union for a dance or get-together. The Committee saw to the opera- tion of the Snack Bar and genial Mrs. Hughes presided over the counter with help from Mrs. King and extra student help from time to time. The Snack Bar is one of the college rendezvous spots and a coke in the Union is an established custom. The committee helped morale by decorations in the Union that were seasonal and quite clever in design. With the addition of new booths in the Union, obtained largely through request of the committee, Valley students can look forward to a better year in the Student Union Building and Snack Bar. Page 7 I d r. a d H a 1'. 8 VJ h T. h 1'. a E H Db DD To HERMAN EDWARD BRUNS, a true Viking We dedicate the entire sports section of the 1949 Sabiduria Page 73 Fuuthall X Perhaps the two most important dates in history for Missouri Valtege College students are Decem- her 7, 1941 and December 4, 1948. The latter date was the infamous day on which the Viking football squad kept an appointment with destiny and met defeat at the hands of the Evansville College Purple Aces at Evansville, Indiana. The 15-7 defeat marked the ending of a 41 game winning string which began with the last game of the season against Rockhurst College in 1941. Without exaggeration, the defeat ended the win- ning string of the greatest small college football team thus far this Century. According to Webster, the word nVikingn refers to the pirate northmen who plundered the coasts of Europe in the 8th and 10th centuries. Viking is sometimes confused with itsea king. A new meaning has been given to this word anct the source for this new meaning is the great- i est of all Iexicographers, John Q. Public: VIKING: One of the pirate Missourians who plundered the football fields of America in the 20th Century. iiViL'ing is sometimes confused with the word ugoat king. The last game of the 1941 football season found the Vikings defeating the Rockhurst College Hawks of Kansas City 12-6. That signified the beginning of the greatest consecutive Victory string in modern intercollegiate football. 1942 saw the Ashtord grid men win all their games. World War II ended football at Missouri Valley for a white and the men adjourned from the college football stadium and the clean American game of football to do battle in all parts of the World. Valteyys football prowess was sustained throughout the 1946 and ,47 seasons by complete Page 74 and overwhelming victories. 1947 was a magnificent season. For the first time in the history of Missouri Vanege College, a Viking football team played in a bowl game. No, not just one howl, but two howls invited the Vikings to display their talents. December 13. 1947, Coach Ashfordis men met and defeated the McMurry College Indians of Abilene, Texas, in the Boys, Ranch howl 20 lo 13. That game was a tough one and the Vikings did not pull it out of the frying pan until the last three minutes. January 1, 1948, found the Vikings in Tampa. Florida, playing the Westchester Pennsylvania State Teachers College. Westchester was a highly rated team and had defeated many noted eastern schools. Although the odds favored Westchester, the Vikings made short and easy work of them by the score of 26-7. Thus Westchester became victim No. 32 on the Valley butchering block. The Cigar howl Victory at Tampa made the second Viking howl victory. The 1948 football season opened with Bethany College at Lindshorg, Kansas, and the Vikings won this game 25-0. On September 24, the Vik- ings played their first home game and met the Kirksvitte Bulldogs. Victory over Kirksvitle meant No. 54 would be out of the way. The Vikes defeated the Butiogs 20-0, but there was much more to that game than the score would indicate. The Vikings were unable to do any scoring against Itlheffpowerful Bulldog line until late in the secend a . t t The Kirksvine game was a good game, but a good looking Irishman from Chicago by the name of Tim Wright became the fair haired boy as a result of the Victory. Wright performed outstand- ingly as a punter and got the Vikings out of some light situations. That game marked the beginning, of the football career of a great Viking player. September 24 marked another event which made an Vikings happv. Dr. J. Frederick Doering an- nounced on that day that Hugh Dunn was return- ing to the college as an assistant coach. Dunn had graduated the previous year and during his years at Valley had achieved great distinction as a Viking quarterback. he following week found the Vikings journey- ing to Kansas City where they met and defeated the Ottawa Braves of Ottawa University. The Vikes met the Braves in the Blue Stadium in Kansas City and the game attracted over 9,000 Fans. Ottawa went to defeat to the tune of 21-0. The Vikings got off to an early lead when Alva Baker ran 74 yards in a brilliant piece of open held running to score. The other two Missouri Valley touchdowns came in the last five minutes of the game. Many people believe that the game with Ottawa was the best game of the entire season. On October 15 the Central College Eagles journeyed to Marshall from Fayette, Missouri. Co-CaptuinsiNelson, Harris, Baker. Central was keyed for this game against their arch rival, Missouri Valley. Many people still Wish that Central never made the trip because that night the Vikings had to fight for their lives. The Vikes managed to take the measure of the Eagles by the margin of 7-6. Jim Happy, freshman, made the extra point and after that game he was called The Golden Toed Kid.n Central Missouri State College came to Mar- shall on October 22 for the Homecoming game. The Homecoming game was successful and the Vikings came out on the long end of the score 34-7. By half time the Vikings were ahead by 28-0 and during the second half Coach Volney Ashford used almost every player on the bench. The following week the Vikings had an easier time of it when they went to Culver-Stockton and defeated that school 47-0. Again the Vikings had complete control of the game and were able to score at will. Cutver-Stockton read the hand writing on the wall sooner than most Viking opponents and when they found the Viking line to he made of men of steel, they took to the air in vain. On November 5, the Vikes met Tarkio College of Marshall, and won easily by the score of 87-0. Actually the Vikings were unable to stop scoring in the game. Despite the slaughtering that Tarkio was sustaining, the boys who played for Tarkio did themselves great credit. They displayed the kind of spirit that makes the game of football the great game that it is today. The Tarkio players Imew they could not hope to contain the Vikings. but they stood up and played the best they could throughout the entire contest. Certainly their team was not equal to the Viking team in ability. but they proved they had some great boys with the sportsmanship they displayed during the game. There were no bitter words and the game was a great credit to Tarkio. On November 12 the Vikings played the Wil- liam Jewell Cardinals at Liberty, Missouri. The Cardinals went to defeat by the score of 46-0. The victory over the Cardinals brought the Vikings Victory No. 40 and another M. C. A. U. championship. On November 25 the McMurry College Indians whom the Vikings hacl met the previous year in the Boys, Ranch Bowl came to Marshall and played the Vikings. Over 6,000 fans attended the Turkey Day game in Marshall. And the Viking tans got their money's worth as they saw both teams stage a real football battle. The Vikings pulled the game out of the fire in the last ten minutes of the game and emerged on top by 20-15. identically the same score as the Boys, Ranch bowl game a year before. McMurry Cot! Iege led in almost every department except the scoring and in the final analysis it's the score that counts and nothing else. Few Viking fans will ever forget the perform- ance of Brad Rowland, a big Texan who played heads up ball all the way. Nor will those same Fans forget the two touchdown passes thrown by the Chicago Irishman, Tim Wright. It was in the last ten minutes of the Game that Herb McKinney recovered a fumble and then Alva Baker tore 55 yards to McMurry's 11-yard line. In three suc- cessive smashes through the line, Bin Lingen- Felder went over to pay dirt for Valley. Jim Happy,s success u conversion settled the score for the game. That was Viking win N0. 41. After defeating the Indians, the Vikings began preparations for the Refrigerator howl game on December 4, at Evansville, Indiana. with Evans- vine College. The Vikings also accepted at this Page 75 ii a; Coaching Staffe-Hugh Dunn, Volney Ashford, learren Harris same time an invitation to do a repeat performance at the Cigar Bowt in Tampa, Florida. The string was getting longer and the tension was growing as the Vikings approached their December 4 date with destiny. Reitx field was the Fatal stage for the Viking debacle. About 8,700 fans gathered to see the game between these two teams with outstanding records. Evansvine Cottege is a member of the powerful Ohio Vatley conference. Few teams ever went through a year in that conference without tasting defeat. Evansvitte had won six and lost three in the conference. They had defeated Ottawa University of Ottawa, Kansas, t0 the tune 01 18-6. The Vikings had defeated Ottawa 21-0. but everyone Imew there was more to that game than the score hoard indicated. Evansvitte tied for the conference championship with Murry College of Kentucky when they were defeated by Murry by the ctose score of 9-6. The Vikings thus suffered their First defeat since ,41 at the hands of Evansville College by 13 to 7. The game was tight an the way, but as has been said before, it's the final score on the score board that counts and nothing else. Evansvitle scored both their touchdowns in the first half. Evansville and Valley played a rough and tumble game. Vattey finally scored on a drive down tietd with Preston going across to score. The Vikings used a ground attack most of the game due to the fact that Tim Wright who had also devetoped into quite a passer had an arm injury. Evansvitte used an air attack most of the way. Thus the Viking winning string of 41 consecu- tive wins came to an untimely end. Then prepara- tions for the New Years Day game at Tampa. Florida, got underway. The Vikings went to Florida and met the St. Thomas Tommies of St. Thomas College at St. Paut, Minnesota. This was the second appearance of the Vikings in as many years in the Cigar Bowt. About 11,000 fans turned out to see the battle. It was Chilly weather for Florida and that was the reason for the small turn-out. The game was one of those thrillers that you read about in books. 1n the first half the Vikings scored two touchdowns and an extra point. It looked for a time as though the Vikings were going to repeat their performance of the previous year. However, the Tommies came back in the second half and tied up the game. In the remain- ing minutes of the game both teams almost scored the extra touchdown which would have meant Victory for either side. Gene Burnett tLittIe Burrt was seriously in- jured 0n the third play of the game. He was removed to a 10ca1 hospital and was in serious condition for many days. Burnett, a senior. was from Kansas City, Missouri. The Marshall Quar- terback Club. an organization of Viking tans, sent Mrs. A1 Burnett to her sons bedside in Florida. Coach Ashford did not return with his team and remained in Florida with the injured player. Burnett sustained the only major injury of any of the how1 contests held on January 1. He tater recovered and returned to school. The aH-star mythical line-up of the Missouri College Athletic Union was once again dominated by the kingpins of the conference, Missouri Vat- tey. Seven of the first team positions came to M. V. C. and four of the second team positions Page 76 were held down by Vikings. Central College held down three positions and Culver-Stockton man- aged to claim one position on the first team. The only unanimous choice for the team was Alva Baker, backfield star. Fred Skinner and Herb McKinney held the two tackle positions with Ernie Piper at end. James Nelson and Vir- tand Harris held the guard positions and Sam Keith was chosen for aH-star center. On the sec- ond team was Don O'Neil at end, Jack Bales, William Lingenfelder, and Tim Wright in the backfield. Thus the football year for Missouri Valley ended. It ended on a note of great triumph as the Vikings broke national records in holding their winning string to 41 games and copping the M. C. A. U. championship for the fifth consecu- tive year. Four bowl games in two years was an- other laurel in the Viking crown of triumph. Forty-one games in a row won under the coaching of the same man, Votney Ashtord. James Nelson picked for the Little AH-American in 1947 and again in the ,48 season. No talk about football at Missouri Valley could ever be complete without some words about Vol- ney C. Ashford, the Viking mentor. Yes, the year spelled defeat, but that was inevitable. But actually the year showed no liabilities because Missouri Valley still possessed Volney Ashford. Certainly. he's the kind of coach who wants to win, but hes the kind of he-man Christian gen- tleman who knows that there is more to the sport than winning. He likes to train young men and make them into fine winning teams. But more than winning teams he likes young men. He sets the pace for clean living and fair play, and thatls why win or lose, there Will always be a place for Volney Ashford at M. V. C. And don't think some of the hi9: schools did not Page 77 try to steal him away from 7LVIissouri Valley-- because they did. But we've got a big hunch thal it's going to take a lot more than money and name schools to take Volney Ashford away lrom Nis- souri Valley College. And to Ins assistants, Hugh Dunn and VVarren Harris, another vote of thanks. These former Vikings did a great job and the credit for the vic- torious work of the Vikings rests on their shoulders also. Yes, the loolban season of 1948 spelled many glorious Victories for Ike Vikings and also defeal. But as we said before, everything was in the. form of assets and there were no liabilities.

Pogo 79 Basketball Basketball under the coaching of Warren Harris was in high gear in the 1948-49 season as the Vikings won the Nlissouri College Athletic Union championship and had a play 0 with Southwest Wiissouri State Teachers College to represent tVlissouri in the N. A. l. B. tournament held in Kansas City. The first game or the play 0 took plate at Springfield and the Vikings lost 6I-48. The second game of the play 0 was held at tViiorrison Gymnasium and was one of the most thrilling games the local tans ever witnessed. The rugged game round the Vikings 0n the short end 0 the score hoard by three points as the game ended 3l-48. Three Viking first team men routed out in the game and tour Springfield men had to leave for the same reason. The game saw the score Changing in each school's favor a number of times and it was not until the last quarter minute that the game was finally decided. The winning ot the NI. C. A. U. championship marks the first time that the Vikings possessed the title since IQ42. The season opened on a historic date for Mis- souri Valley, December 4, 1948. The Vikings met Washington University of St. Louis at St. Louis losing 48 to 40. Earlier that same afternoon the Vikings had kept their football date with destiny. A memorahte factor of the game in St. Louis for the hoopsters was the tact that Big Bi Kleine, Viking center. had played toothatt earlier that afternoon and had to drive about 250 miles to play hasketha that evening. And the Viking toothalt team sat in the stands and watched the St, Louis game. Following this heginning, the Vikings appar- entty were not ready to hit their peak. They lost to Kirksvilte '32 to 46 and to Peru in the Rock- hurst College tournament at Kansas City 56-53 in an overtime period. The Vikings came back the next night in the Kansas City tournament to heat Central College OI to 60. hut they lost the following night 43 to 40 to William Jewelrs Cardinals. The Vikings hegan hitting their winning stride by winning the next six games. The Vikings heat St. James. an independent team from Kansas City 81 to 30 and Bethany College by the score of 84 to '32. ankio College hecame the next victim and went down 70 to 3'5 and Cutver-Stockton ten in line 37-30. Kirksvitte who had earlier beaten iWissouri Valley lost hy a score of 83 to 69. Drury College of Springfield lost to Harris's men 67-36. On January 28. 1940. the Vikings lost to an old footha opponent, Ottawa Uni- versity by the score or 78-53. William Jewelrs Cardinals played the Vikings in a conference game here at Marshall and the Cardinals lost 65 to 47. The latter game occurred on Tuesday and on the following Friday at Jewell the Vikings were defeated 61-55. The Vikings then went on to win their next three games, the thriller being the game with Central College here in lV'larshall. The Vikes defeated Tarkio 74 to 62 and Westminster 47 to 46. The middle game was the game with Central which the Vikings won 75 to 64 with Kleine scoring 22, Dorrell scored 18 and Anderson 17. The Vikings then went to Central and played in the ill-lamed Crackerloox and lost 72 to 47. This was a nonsconference game because the crackerhox was ruled as not lit for conference games by the conference coaches. Drury fell 51-49 and Westminster 62 to 40 and Culver-Stockton fell lor the championship 56 to 49 in an overtime period. Springfield lost only one game in seasonal play and then went on to lose again in the Kansas City tournament. The B team was only defeated once in seasonal play and that was by Kirksville's B team 50 to 54. They won a total of seven games. Big Bill Kleine, 6-l00t IOVQ-inch, lettered four years at Missouri Valley and broke all school records for lour years of play. His total for his last season was 379 points. Kleine scored an average of 19 points per game for the season and broke all conference records for scoring in a season. After graduation he went to Phillips 66 Oil Com- pany and was scheduled to play basketball for the Oilers. Kleine was also the Viking Captain along wilh Bert Evans. Lefty Anderson was second in the scoring department for the Vikings with a total of 242 points for the season. He will he captain of next years team along with Ralph Dorrel. Ralph Dorrel was third in the scoring depart- ment with 216 points. Dorrel lettered three years at Valley and saw plenty of action during the past season, Bert Evans, fourth in scoring had 176 points. Bert played and lettered lour years.
