Hope College Receives

General Foods Grant

The General Foods Fund, Inc., of New York, has recently an-nounced a $20,01)0 g r a n t to the Michigan Colleges Foundat ion, Inc. As a member of the Michigan or-ganizat ion, Hope College will re-ceive a portion of the g ran t . The $20,000 figure was par t of the 1954

aid-to-education p rogram for 1954 which totals $270,000.

General Foods Fund was incor-porated in March, 1953 to make

contr ibutions to organiza t ions in t h e chari table, educational , a n d scientific fields. It is an independ-ent foundat ion sponsored by Gen-eral Foods Corporat ion.

Vienna Group Features Operetta

The wor ld- famous Vienna Choir Hoys, current ly on thei r tenth L'.S. tour a r ranged by Impresar io S.

Huroc, will present a diversified p rogram in Hope Memorial Chapel this evening at 8:15.

The concert, divided into th ree par ts , will open with a g roup of sacred songs wri t ten in the six-teenth and seventeenth centuries. A f t e r a brief intermission, a cos-tume operet ta will be presented, and the program will conclude with secular music and folk songs.

The t roupe of more than twenty

boys, aged seven to twelve years , are members of an organizat ion which dates back to Ju ly 7, 174S

when Maximilian 1 established the choir by Imperial decree.

Subsidized by the Hapsburgs un-til the first World War , the g roup achieved fame th roughout Europe. Among its members who have achieved fame are Haydn and Schubert .

Since the first World War, the Choir has been supported by pri-

vate funds, supplemented by the income derived f rom concert tours which began in 192(>.

Early Dutch Art Exhibited In Toledo

Jon Steen, a self -portrait

The Toledo Museum of Art has announced a Holland-American Day to be held J a n u a r y 31, 1955, in

Toledo. The day is in conjunct ion with a J a n u a r y second to Feb rua ry th i r teenth exhibit of nearly one hundred masterpieces by Dutch 17th century a r t i s t s . The paint ings have been loaned for the occasion by m a j o r public and private col-lections in Europe and America .

Included in the exhibit are such renowned 17th century a r t i s t s as

Rembrandt , Hals, Vermeer, Hobbe-ma, Steen, de Hooch, Terbroch and Ruisdael. This internat ional loan exhibition is the most selective of its kind ever assembled.

Theodore Rousseau, J r . , Cura to r of Paint ings , Metropoli tan Museum of Art said this of the a r t i s t s . "Dur ing the seventeenth century , the genius of the Dutch peoples expressed itself more ful ly than at any other t ime in thei r h is tory . . . There was a t remendous and unprecedented output of pa in t ing . . . At no t ime in the history of a r t has the technique of pa in t ing been brought to g rea t e r perfec-tion."

The Holland-American day is in honor of all Dutch Amer icans as well as communit ies and centers

EDITOR'S DESK What Worries Me

During the past several months the Chemical and Engineering

News Magazine has been publishing editorials and articles dealing with

the ra te at which Russia is overtaking the United Sta tes in the pro-

duction of scientifically trained personnel. More recently the warning

has been appear ing in magazines such as Time and Newsweek whose

articles contain s ta tements such as, "By 1960 Russia will be producing

10,000 more scientists a year than the United States" , or "Russia is

turning out 50,000 scientists a year !"

I was reading one of these foreboding reports the other day when

I came upon th is plea: "We need more scientists. We are losing the

technological w a r ! " Perhaps, I thought , perhaps we are, but not be-

cause of Russia 's increasing number of scientists. The U.S.S.R.'s

50,000 new "scientis ts" per year do not worry me

There appears to be a tendency to use the word scientists and

technician interchangeably. Too many people do not realize the differ-

ence. While the technician is a c ra f t sman , the scientist is an ar t is t , a

man with a vision. Any person can learn to be a technician, but who

can learn to have a vision? What worries me is that our society is

not encouraging the natural development of scientists or original

thinkers in many fields.

American education seems to be premised on the belief tha t to scale any intellectual height all a person needs is a sufficient amount of information — the more poured in, the grea te r the accomplishments. Our infa tuat ion with empiricism has led us to deny the existence and need fo r the t ru ly transcendent experience which momentari ly enables us to be both audience and actor, to have a view of the whole as well as the par t . I would wager with anyone tha t one hundred wri ters of my mean ability, possessing any amount of information, could not create through any degree of intellectual gyrat ion a play comparable to one of Shakespeare 's , or a poem equal to one of Eliot 's. We would lack not the mechanical ability to compose, but the inspiration. A covey of average thoughts does not consti tute a single grea t one.

Turning again to the physical sciences, no one would deny the need for technicians. But how large would be the need if there had never existed an Einstein, a Fermi , an Oppenheimer, or a Tel ler? Are we perhaps discouraging such men f r o m being pioneers of knowledge? Does our educational system teach men to think in abs t rac t symbols? Does our society perhaps inhibit men who do think in novel t e rms and ostracize those who do dare to d i f fe r? How do we t rea t men of in-spiration without whose new thoughts and concepts the technological race is surely lost

Russia 's l a rge annual production of technicians does not worry me. Wha t worries me is on which side of the curtain are the men of inspiration — on the east or on the west ?

Tonight on Hope's campus the world famous Vienna Boy's Choir

will perform. A week from Monday an outstanding Toledo Art Museum

is holding a Holland-American day. It is our sincere hope that those

who bewail the lack of culture on Hope's campus will avail themselves

of these opportunities.

What's Past Is Prologue

by Larry Siedentop

In a world so tense with aware-ness of the division between Eas t and West, the question of coexis-tence has become a ma t t e r of con-siderable concern a n d agonized hope. Yet what is of ten overlooked and neglected in the United States , as well as in many other nations, is the one ins t rument through which this ideal can be actualized: an enlightened and effective foreign policy.

Indeed, the achievement of co-existence would imply the t r iumph of such a foreign policy for it is the necessary intermediate step. Therefore, concern tha t an Ameri-can policy be successfully fo rmu-lated and carried out abroad is increasingly legi t imate. At this point midway in the Eisenhower Administrat ion, and with the new Congress under Democratic control, it seems par t icular ly appropr ia te to survey what has gone before in foreign policy with a view towards correcting its present f au l t s and making it more adequate in the fu tu re .

Perhaps most apparent is the weakness of United Sta tes foreign policy, as such. That is, r a the r than having any clearly defined logical basis, it seems to pursue a completely haphazard course. It appears to be concerned chiefly with the ma t t e r at hand, with the question of merely surviving f rom one crisis to the next, while Secre-ta ry Dulles or one of his aides runs off at the sl ightest pretext to con-duct some last minute, on-the-spot, "television" diplomacy. Such diplo-macy is rarely successful or satis-fying. Thus, one might well enter-tain hopes-for a planned, consistent foreign policy in the fu tu re .

Frequently people bemoan the fact that the United States has to

"buy" its allies, and seriously ques-tion their t rue sent iments with re-gard to our nation. Yet if viewed in the light of our recent hap-hazard foreign dealings this event-uality becomes almost inevitable. Despite the long-standing belief in the "ideal ism" of American foreign policy and public opinion, idealism has of late succumbed to or be-come mere power politics in the eyes of other nations. For instance, when the crises over German re-armament appeared on the horizon, our officials raised a hue and cry that American " ideals" in Europe were in danger of being subverted, and they prepared to use any and every m e a n s to achieve their cherished object. As a result of ext raordinary pressure and th rea t s our plans fo r German rea rmament

were pushed down the throat of the French Assembly by a fa lse major i ty , and any t rue possibility of European unity was indefinitely postponed. That sort of crudity does not endear a country to its allies! Thus, one might well enter-tain hopes fo r a realistic, thought-ful approach to our allies in the fu ture .

With the Democrats in control of Congress dur ing a Republican Ad-ministrat ion, the ra ther vaguely applied and commonly misunder-stood term "bi-part isan foreign policy" becomes again a necessity. Foreign policy can only become truly effective when it is outside the irrational camp of par t i san politics. Unfor tuna te ly this rule has been f a r f rom uniformly ob-served dur ing the past few years. Part icular ly obnoxious have been the uncalled fo r and unnecessary remarks of Senators like Knowland which have of ten served to influ-

The Critical Angle by R. P. Brown

My excuse for the subject of this par t icular column is, perhaps, a bit flimsy. Last week's Student Council was, if anything, notable fo r its u t te r lack of s t imulat ing material fo r a column of this type. In fact , beyond the reports of a few committees, nothing of conse-quence t ranspired. Brief mention was, however, made of the fact tha t we shall soon, once again, be

in the throes of the All College Sing. Having a few views on the subject, I pounce greedily upon the chance to air them.

As is the case with many other of the cherished and laudable Hope College tradit ions, there is a grea t deal to be said to the credit of the Sing. It promotes a spir i t of f r iendly competition between the par t ic ipat ing societies, serves to kni t the competing groups together

internally, provides an evening's perhaps r a the r indifferent enter-tainment, f r e e of charge, f o r the college community, and helps feed the children of those men who make their living engraving cups. On the debit side we find the diffi-culty involved in the almost hope-less task of teaching a random group of people, the major i ty of whom have no musical knowledge or apt i tude and less natural ability, to sing, in f o u r p a r t harmony no less, one song f o r one performance all in a few days t ime. Admittedly, I speak only f rom the standpoint of a f r a te rn i ty , al though I shouldn't be too surprised if some of the sororit ies feel the same way. Back in the days when the societies in-

volved placed thei r emphasis on the l i terary and intellectual ra ther than on the social aspects of col-lege l ife; when a f ra te rn i ty ' s musi-cal repertoire was not limited to a louder-than-harmonious version of "The Darktown S t ru t t e r s ' Ball" and/or works of tha t caliber, the Sing was probably eagerly awaited as an opportunity to show off the acumen of the group. It seems to me tha t the Sing has become out-moded; a nice if annoying and time-consuming relic of the days tha t used to be. It has its place in the college life of today, but with, if you will, a few modifica-tions.

For instance: why burden those groups who don't want to or can' t sing with the necessity of competi-tion. The Sing could be put on such a basis tha t any campus or-ganization desiring to do so could enter and those not could help swell the audience. Surely, if this system resul ts in no singing a t all it would

be bet ter to drop the whole enter-prise. One way to preserve the tradit ion and, a t the same time, remove some of the concomitant pain would be to require only tha t the groups involved be represented by, f o r the sake of a rgument , a minimum of f if teen or twenty of their number r a the r than the entire membership. This would, undoubt-edly, a t least improve the quali ty of the event.

Personally, I would ra ther spend an evening a t a concert presented by the chapel choir, but these are jus t my views.

Chewing The Rag w i t h O p h e l i a ( i a g m u t z

Dear Mom and Dad, It was so nice talking to you

last night. I don't suppose any-thing has come up since then to change your mind about my com-ing home next week? It 's not tha t 1 don't want to take exams at all — only not next week. If I could come home and have just that little bit more t ime for s tudy, 1 know I'd be ready. Please re-consider it, won't you? I think it 's quite important to my heal th.

I jus t finished a term paper on Cara, the Common Comma for my English course. My roommate thought the t i t le was sort of crude, but 1 liked the alli teration. It was all about how a comma grows up— from an in fan t period to an adult exclamation p o i n t — don't you think tha t ' s clever? I called the semi-colon its adolescent s tage. I do hope my teacher likes it. I fe l t so sorry for her a f t e r I read some of the other papers fo r the course. They were so dull and dry — so I decided it was up to me to cheer her up a little. I'm a f ra id tha t will be my only "A" though.

Joe took me to the Calvin bas-ketball game the other night, and it was just awful . I don't think I like the game very well, anyway. Why, one of our fellows just stopped to rest a minute, and a fellow who was carrying the ball fo r Calvin ran r ight into him, and the umpire blew his whistle and said our fellow wasn ' t supposed to have stopped there, and then he called him foul. 1 think it 's mean to call someone " foul" jus t because he happens to get t ired once in awhile — it 's not even heal thy. And then another t ime when one of our fellows saw tha t one of their team was about to run r ight into a big swarm of players under the basket, he quick pushed him away so he wouldn't get hur t , and they said he was "foul ," too. And they don't stop at jus t calling them names — they give the other team f ree chances at baskets, besides. It sure doesn't make sense to me!

A f t e r the game was over, whole crowds of people were s tanding around outside in little groups. It seemed like they were all ta lking about a "Holy War ." Joe wanted to s tay and listen, but 1 told him 1 thought it was entirely too cold to stand around and discuss some old dead historical event. He jus t mut tered something u n d e r h i s brea th and brought me home. I think Joe must be becoming an intellectual — I've never known him to be interested in things like tha t before.

I 'm tak ing seventeen hours of courses next semester . My coun-selor said he didn't think I should, but I convinced him a f t e r fou r con-ferences. He said t ha t what I lack in " g r a y m a t t e r " I made up f o r in perseverance, so he'd let me do

it. I decided tha t if he thought I lacked " g r a y ma t t e r , " maybe I should t ry and get some, but they looked a t me as if they thought I was crazy when I asked f o r it a t the book store. I guess maybe they don' t have any here a t the college. I'll t r y downtown tomorrow.

Well, my roommate 's flicking the l ight — so I guess i t ' s t ime f o r bed — u n l e s s maybe she's ge t t ing a housemother ' s complex. Anyway, I'd be t te r sign off. I miss you loads.

IN REVIEW By Jon Hinkamp

It was an al together pleasant duty to a t tend the s tudent recital on J a n u a r y sixth. Throughout the well balanced program, the individ-ual performances were each, in their own way, well worth listening to.

Mr. J e r r y Kruyf opened the pro-gram with an ar ia f rom Mozart 's "The Marr iage of F iga ro" and a lighter work, "The Green Eyed Dragon" by Wolseley Charles. Mr. Kruyf has a pleasing voice and uses it tas teful ly . He demonstrated adequate command of the musical problems of both his selections. Although his expression is a t times ra ther wooden, his voice remains flexible and his musical touch light.

Miss Doris McMahan, violinist, who played the "Al legro" from Lalo's "Symphonic Espangnole", is an exceptionally fine technician. Most, noteworthy, however, was her ability to avoid the interpret ive pitfalls of Lalo's ra ther romantic, emotional music and keep the per-formance crisp. Had she not main-tained a firm grasp of her material , the effect could easily have become turgid.

Nick Pool maintained the musical level with a Schumann novellette and a Chopin prelude. Mr. Pool's pianistic technique is sound, al-through a trifle mechanical when involved in some of the technical intricacies. Mr. Pool has the g i f t of combining sound interpretat ion and an unfail ing rythmic sense into an outstandingly musical per-formance.

tions f rom Gluck and Quilter with her usual poised musical mastery. She uses her warm, s t rong con-t ra l to voice to excellent advantage and displays well developed musi-cal sensitivity in her interpretation.

V o n W e b e r ' s "Concertino of Clar inet" was performed by Mr. Charles Lindal. Although the per-formance was somewhat spotty, his technical g rasp of the instrument seems sound, and he succeeds in the difficult task of maintaining a thoroughly pleasant tone.

Mr. J . Richard DeWitt, utilizing a rich bass voice, interpreted a Verdi ar ia and Vaughan Williams' "The Vagabond". Mr. De Wit t ' s bass is unusually mellow for a young singer, and will probably develop the g rea t e r s t rength and resonance which will balance into an exceptionally fine voice. Mr. De Wit t ' s musical ability is certainly adequate and his performances thoroughly competent.

The evening's program was con-cluded by Mr. Lawrence De Witte, who played the Regar "Benedictus" and J . S. Bach's "Prelude in G Minor". Mr. De Wit t made good use o f the possibilities o f t h e chapel's fine organ in interpret ing his selections. He played musically with good technical g rasp of his material and a finely regulated keyboard technique.

The evening's accompanists pro-vided adequate support fo r the soloists. ' T h e only generalized flaw in the well polished surface of the program was the ra ther diffident apologetic entrances and exits of the per formers . Perhaps they could learn f rom the professional musici-ans who visit our campus f rom time to time. These s tudents do not have to be ashamed of their musicianship — why do they mount the pla t form as a condemned man in the gallows?

Although, at last report , it has not yet been placed on the library shelves, I wish to recommend to the s tudent reader Preston Steg-enga 's history of our college, "An-chor of Hope."

I have long contended tha t one of the most unfor tuna te aspects of Hope's s tudent body is its almost complete lack of a sense of tradi-tion. I may be turning into a sentimental dotard in my senior year, but I feel that the essence of school spirit is not in its cheer-ing, or in its athletic or even academic prowess, but ra ther in its history and traditions. It is in these tha t a school like Hope should have more to offer than the sprawling diploma-mills w h i c h

s ta te universities too of ten become.

It is in its potentialit ies of fos-ter ing this present inadequate sense of tradit ion tha t I find the grea tes t significance to the student in Mr. Stegenga 's book. It is not a world shaking effort nor is it outstand-ingly significant to the average reader, but to a Hope student who pages through it a t a leisure hour, it has much to offer.

Par t icular ly fascinat ing are the references to some of the early difficulties and some of the per-sonalities who a re a par t of Hope's past . From the student 's point of view of tradit ion, one semester of to t ter ing finances and bungling faniscos and one slightly eccentric and ra the r incompetent president a re worth a dozen smoothly solvent years and a brace of sound ad-minis t rators .

Perhaps a shor t browse through this book will make a student re-member t h a t a college is not only curriculums and brick, and will s t i r some dormant flicks of whimsical affection in his examination-hard-ened hear t .

Letters to the Editor Dear Edi tor :

I wish to commend you for the outs tanding Anchor which you are publishing this year. It is indeed an excellent example of college journalism. It is a paper of which every member of the student body and facul ty can justifiably be proud.

May you continue the outs tand-ing service which you are perform-ing for all of Hope.

Best wishes for the New Year. Helen L. Harton Acting Chairman, Speech Department Hope College

Dear Edi tor :

There has been much criticism by the Student Body again this winter with regard to the treach-erous condition of the walks fo r several days following even a light snow. Realizing this student senti-ment and feeling much the same way ourselves, we a t tempted to present the student a t t i tude before the Administrat ion members pres-ent at a meeting of the Building and Grounds Committee.

In the discussion tha t followed, several valid points were made which can profitably be considered — and acted upon — by both the Student Body and Administrat ion.

Mr. Visscher and Mr. Lighthear t began by explaining tha t fo r the last two years one of the f ra te rn i -ties had shoveled walks as a money rais ing mechanism. However, this year no group has requested the project , and all of the financially stricken s tudents who, in the fal l , had jumped at the chance of work-ing for the solid wage ( fo r Hol-land) of $1 per hour, never showed up when the snow fell. Therefore , the complete job has fallen to the janitorial s taff . We admit this is a problem — but it is no excuse.

As a result of this manpower si tuation the policy has been to a t t empt to keep the walks within the campus clear — then if possi-ble the walks paralleling the roads would be given at tention. The assumption is that if necessary we can always walk in the s treets . The college is only a companion violator in this respect — fo r the " s tu rdy Dutch" of the city of Hol-land all seem to s tay away f rom shovels in the winter so t ha t they may use all their energy sweeping the s t reets a t Tulip Time and have uncalloused hands to get the full feel of the "green s tuf f" it brings. It is not unusual in the winter fo r a walk downtown or to church to consume 3 to 5 t imes normal amount of time.

Once again in regard to the walks within the campus area — they are, in fact , usually kept reasonably f r ee of snow. But, by the time the first evening rolls around the BIG problem of ice has arr ived. Mr. Lighthear t is now at-tempt ing to combat this with a new chemical tha t does not harm the cement. However, it is ex-pensive and only a limited amount can be used due to the ever present budget difficulties. But it seems to us tha t an investment of this sor t is one wisely made if only one fall can be prevented — since every spill on ice is potentially one which may permanently disable.

There were several reasons given f o r the lengthy presence of ice — first, the drippings f rom the build-ings continue thru every thaw; second, s tudents seem to receive a "big cha rge" out of sliding across the walks, the fr ict ion producing an icy sur face ; third, the male s tudent — often egged on by the leaning, leering object hanging over the sill — becomes obsessed with pu t t ing pot shots t h ru open win-dows, only to have the window

close or the aim prove inaccurate. A f t e r the last snowfall approxi-mately 20 man hours were used for the replacement of broken windows. This hur t s the Student Body in two respects — the time could have been spent in removing ice and the replacement cost could have gone f o r chemical remover.

We realize tha t we have been gui l ty of the above ourselves — but we will make an effort to cooperate and ask you to do so also. An a t t empt to make a few minor ad-jus tments in our actions will allow the student representat ives in all phases of campus government to present mat te r s tha t are of concern to us with more force and con-viction. It will also make for more Administrat ive sympathy toward them.

(UP) — Holland, Michigan: To-day at 8:29 A.M., the tower of the Memorial Chapel of Hope College collapsed. The cause of the disaster is as yet unknown. Dazed college officials reported no known in-juries, but refused to offer opinions as to the cause of what they con-sidered to be a disaster second in importance o n l y t o Hurricane Hazel.

Emotions of the onlookers were varied. Some stood too dazed to speak. Others wept openly. One girl, obviously hyster ical , ' was led away in fits of laughter . Bystand-ers ventured assorted opinions as to the reason fo r the collapse. One man said he fel t sure it was a plot on the par t of religious fanatics wl)o envied the height of the tower; one member of the facul ty was heard to say to passing students, "You are four minutes late to class;" one old man shook his finger and cried it was Divine justice heaped on the college fo r its advocation of functional educa-tion.

Frank Lighthear t and a group of volunteers entered the wreckage several hours ago in order to dis-cover as f a r as possible the amount of damage and see whether it could be repaired in t ime fo r Chapel services on Monday.

What 's Past Is . . . (Continued f rom page 2)

ence adversely delicate negotia-tions. As a result , foreign govern-ments have begun to question as to who does represent the opinion of the United States , and have been forced to consider the possi-bility of repudiation or la ter re-versal of policies by this country. The diplomacy of the United States cannot be adequate and secure un-less it rests on a firmer basis than that of pet ty personal objects or political bones of contention.

In much the same way, freedom for our diplomatic personnel has become vir tual ly non-existent. Ob-viously an intelligent, well-trained, resourceful corps of diplomats is among the pr ime requisites for a successful foreign policy. Yet such qualities have been submerged un-

der a nearly abject servitude fo r the sake of self-preservat ion f rom brazen a t tacks and interference by members of Congress. The State Department is commonly portrayed as a den of Communist thieves, and independent thought by individuals is considered nearly an act of dis-loyalty. The American foreign service is in g rea t danger of be-coming a mere rubber s t amp! Thus, one might also enter tain hopes fo r a bi-part isan foreign policy carried out by exper ts and above the level of Congressional sniping in the fu ture .

With such diplomacy, coexistence becomes more than an idealized fantasy — it becomes an engaging possibility.

Indiana. On Janua ry 30 a team will conduct the Christ ian Endeavor group and help in the evening serv-ice of the F i f t h Reformed Church in Grand Rapids and on February 6 a g roup will go to Kalamazoo. Mary Tervel t and John Schrier a re co-chairmen o f t h e deputat ion project.

Introduced to the United States in 1932, the choir suspended activ-ities a f t e r six consecutive tours when the Nazis imprisoned Fa the r Jose Schmitt , Rector of the group, who refused to allow the organi-zation to become an ins t rument of Nazi propaganda.

The school has three choirs on tour each year. This is the four th unit to appear in the United States since the war. There is always a unit in Vienna to perform ser-vices at the famous St. Stephen's Chapel.

Thousands of boys are brought to the institution each year, but only approximately one hundred are accepted. The boys receive training in all scholastic subjects as well as music. Headquar ters of the choir is a f o rmer Imperial palace, converted since the war. ^

The Vienna Choir Boys are pre-sented as the third in the Hope College Concert Series. Tickets are available at Meyer Music House and the College Business Office.

Alma Downed In Slow Tilt Calvin Accuracy Stops Cagers

The Knigh t s of Calvin College turned in the i r best pe r fo rmance of the season as they rolled to a 93-82 win over the Hope College Dutchmen. H i t t i ng on 44% of thei r shots , Calvin led by only 5 a t the

half with the score at 38-33, but in the second half they completely dominated play a f t e r 6 minutes had

elapsed. The first half saw play very even

as the score was tied five t imes and the lead changed hands seven t imes. Hope went into an ear ly 7-4 lead only to have Calvin quickly

add a couple of buckets to main-tain an 8-7 lead. With 10 minutes gone Calvin led by a 22-21 count but with Molenaar h i t t ing f o r fou r points, Hope took over the lead once again . Newhof then took

charge fo r Calvin as the f rosh led his t e a m m a t e s to a 38-33 half t ime

lead. Hope opened the second half with

the i r f a s t break moving well to es tabl ish a 38-37 lead but Newhof aga in began to hit and with six minutes played, the Knights owned a 56-51 lead. F rom this point on it was all Calvin as they surged to a 73-54 lead. Slowing play down

somewhat , Calvin maintained a 15 point spread th roughou t most of the remaining t ime. Diekema, in the last e ight minutes hit on five field goal a t t e m p t s to assure Calvin the i r victory. Calvin's was well bal-

anced as evidenced by their individ-

ual scoring as Newhof had 19, Brown 18, Diekema 17, De K r u y t e r 16 and Kok 12. Hendrickson led the Hope scor ing with 24, while A d a m s hit f o r 17, Riemersma and Molenaar 14, and Rink 12.

Beloit, Lake Forest Capture Classic

Beloit College and Lake Fores t College put on a show of offensive power which was enough to smash

both Hope and Albion in the first annual Holiday Basketball Classic held in Holland dur ing Chr i s tmas vacation.

In the first game of the opening night , Beloit took on Albion, 84-62. A f t e r a nip and tuck first hal f , the

Bucs held a 35-32 marg in as Albion utilized a zone defense to hold Beloit 's ta l ler men. The second half , however, was Beloit all the way as the Bucs broke the Briton

defense and opened the spread to 22 points.

Hope fa red no be t t e r in the sec-

ond g a m e as Lake Fores t worked the i r f a s t break to perfect ion, scor-ing 35 points in the first ten minutes . Adams a n d Molenaar paced a late first-half Hope drive,

but the half t ime score favored the Fores te r s , 54-28. Hendrickson, held scoreless in the first hal f , opened up the second half with six points in a drive t h a t nar rowed the

marg in to 18 points. Lake Fores t , however, soon spread the gap , go-ing on to a 103-73 decision.

Lake Fores t opened the second night action by downing Albion, 71-55. Behind all but six minutes

of the game, the Fores t e r s broke t h rough the Briton defense in a second half spur t which w a s

enough to insure victory. Albion, a f t e r holding a 34-32 ha l f - t ime marg in , was unable to hold the

second half running game the Fo re s t e r s set up.

The final game of the Classic followed a s imilar note, as Beloit ran roughshod over Hope to the tune of a record break ing 126-81

marg in . The Dutch held the upper hand f o r the most pa r t of the first hal f , leading 46-45 with f o u r min-utes remaining. Disas te r s t ruck, however, as Beloit opened up with

21 points in the final f o u r minutes to lead a t the ha l f , 66-50. Leading by 20 points f o r the first seven minutes of the second half , the Bucs turned on a 17-point b a r r a g e behind high scoring center , Stanley (53 points f o r the two g a m e s ) ,

midway in the half to hit the 100 mark with eight minutes remain-

ing.

GRANDSTANDING. by Kempers and Veldman

In the race f o r the MIAA all spor t s t rophy this year , Hope is in f o u r t h place with 10 points. Albion is the leader a t th is t ime as they have collected 21 points, while Kalamazoo is second with 19, and Hillsdale is close behind with 18 points f o r a third place. Calvin and Alma are tied f o r f i f t h with 6 points each while Olivet and Adrian have only 1 point apiece so f a r .

A r a t h e r unusual pract ice is t ha t evidenced in the m a n n e r the jun ior vars i ty has been coached dur ing the las t few contests . A good example of th i s pract ice was seen in the Calvin game in which the J .V. 's played under f o u r supposed coaches. This type of coaching isn ' t f a i r to the individual p layer .

I t seems t h a t the least a school our size could do would be to provide an individual who could work wi th the squad, become ac-quainted wi th the i r abilities and s i t with them th rough a whole game . I t ' s more t h a n can be asked of one coach to be responsible f o r twen ty men in two g a m e s on the college level.

The junior vars i ty has a lways been a weak spot in Hope 's a th le t ics and i t ' s h igh t ime something was done to improve this s i tuat ion.

Dutch Avenge

Huron Defeat Hope, p laying thei r best ball of

the season, found themse lves as they reversed an ear ly d e f e a t at the hands of Michigan Normal .

Normal , a previous winner by an 86-59 count, found the Dutch a much improved ball club and drop-

ped the closely contested ba t t l e by 2 points, 86-84. Hope, employing its f a s t break and h i t t ing on 43% of i ts shots, moved to an ear ly 21-10 lead. The Hurons came back s t r o n g in the la t te r pa r t of the first hal f , and with Kirksey show-

ing the way, they tied the score a t 32 all with two minu tes l e f t in the half . In the two minutes re-

maining, Hope added 7 poin ts to Normal ' s 4 f o r a 39-36 half t ime lead.

Hope and Normal matched bask-e t s th roughout most of the second half as ne i ther squad could gain a controllable lead. Hope led by

a s much as e ight a t t imes but the Hurons a lways managed to come back s t rong. Owning an 84-76 lead with two minutes to go, Hope at-

tempted a stal l , but Normal came on to tie it up with 27 seconds le f t . Molenaar then, with ten sec-onds remaining, hit on an out court shot to give Hope an upset win of 86-84 over the favored Hurons . Shepard and Kirksey led Michigan Normal with 19 each while Hen-drickson, Adams, and Molenaar hit 20, 17, 16 respectively.

Brittons Win

On Free Throws Two f r ee th rows in the closing

minutes gave Albion a 68-66 vic-

tory over the Dutch in a contest played a t Albion. With the score knot ted at a 66-66 deadlock with a li t t le over a minute remaining, two

Hope fouls resul ted in the winning.

Unable to get the i r f a s t breaks going, the Dutch sett led down to weaving tact ics which brought enough f r e e th rows to keep Hope within five points of Albion dur ing the first ha l f , as the half ended with Hope t ra i l ing by a 32-27 count.

Hope s t a r t ed f a s t in the second half , ty ing the score a t 39-all with f o u r minutes gone in the half and then going into the lead f o r the first t ime a t 45-44. Us ing a th ree qua r t e r press, the Dutch dropped

in 26 points in the first ten minutes of the second ha l f , to lead by one point, 53-52.

Albion came back and drove into a 66-61 lead with under th ree minutes remaining . Baskets by Riemersma and Hendrickson tied the score a t 66-all with 1:30 to play. However, ne i ther team scored

Paced Scoring Gives Hope Win

The Hope Dutchmen bounced back to snap a two-game losing s t r eak in MIAA competi t ion, stop-

ping the Alma College Scots, 90-76. The victory gave Hope a con-

ference record of 3-3 and an over-

all record of 5-7. Hope opened the contest with

the t radi t ional run and shoot tac^ tics which worked insofar as get-t ing the ball down the court , but

inabili ty to t ake advan tage of scor-ing oppor tuni t ies hampe .ed the Dutch t h roughou t the game, h i t t i ng

only to the tune of 25 per cent of

shots taken. Never theless , the Dutch managed

to hold at least a five-point lead th roughout a sloppy first hal f , marked by poor ball handing on

both sides. Coach Visser called on his subs t i tu tes ear ly in the contest when Hendrickson lef t a f t e r th ree fou ls in the first qua r t e r . The reserves held the i r own, building

a 31-22 lead which stood at 37-29 a t ha l f t ime .

The second half followed much

the same pa t t e rn , with the Dutch lead held, f o r the mos t par t , a t around ten points. Though the

r egu l a r s came back with more polish in the second ha l f , the re-

serves appeared smoother with VanderLind a t t he end of the f a s t break which kep t the Scot zone

defense open.

With the g a p cut to 6 points with a minute remaining, Adams , Rink, and Molenaar pumped in enough points to hold a late Scot

ral ly, the final score s tand ing a t 90-76.
