Prof. Brand Visits Writers' Confab

Afte r teaching one of the Eng-lish courses in Hope's summer school session. Professor K. K. Brand attended the Bread Loaf Writers Conference at Bread Loaf, Vermont. This conference, which was held August 13 to August 27, brought together professional writ-ers and people interested in writ-ing under a very congenial atmos-phere.

Robert Frost , called the god-fa ther of the conference, attended and lectured. Many other renowned writers were present at the gath-ering, both in the capacity of lec-turer and listener: Fletcher Pra t t , novelist and writer of non-fiction; Kdith Mirrielees, an authority on the short s tory; and Theodore Mor-rison, teacher of Composition at Harvard and also director of the conference.

Professor Brand attended five lectures a day, two in the morning, two in the afternoon, and one eve-ning lecture. Some of the evening lectures were designed for the en-ter tainment of the conference-goers. At one such as this Robert Frost read many of his own poems for the group.

Miss Schuppert Schuppert Granted Leave of Absence

Many students may have won-dered why they haven't seen Miss Mildred Schuppert. Hope College cashier, on campus. Miss Schup-pert, who is known affectionately by all students as "Milly," has been granted a leave of absence for one semester to attend the University of Michigan Library School.

Miss Schuppert, a native of Waupun, Wisconsin, moved to Hol-land in 1932. She received her A.B. degree from Hope College in 1931. Very much interested in music, she studied organ under the late Prof. Curtis Snow for five years .and has served as organist of Central Park and Third Re-formed churches dur ing the past f i f t een years.

Before being affiliated with Hope College as cashier, she acted as secretary to the president for nine years. , Upon completion of her semester 's work at the University of Michigan, she will return to as-sist in Hope's rapidly expanding library.

In Memoriam Milton Peterson, 19, Hope Col-

lege student of De Motte, Indi-ana, was drowned July 14 at Wi-nona Lake, Indiana, while attend-ing a Youth for Christ conference. He had completed his sophomore year at Hope in June. His brother, Donald, was a f reshman at Hope last year.

Son i,f Mr. anu Mrs. William 0 . Peterson of De Motte, he was ac-tive in college a f fa i r s . He was a member of the Arcadian Fraterni ty and prominent in YMCA activities. Milton was planning to enter the ministry.

Arcadian Quartet Represents Hope On Concert Tour

The A r c a d i a n Four, popular campus quartet last year, made an extensive concert tour immediately a f t e r the close of the school year. This quartet , consisting of men from the Arcadian Fraterni ty , was selected to represent the school as the Hope College Quar te t ; the tour being sponsored by the school.

The group consisted of Bill Mied-ema. Grand Rapids, f irst tenor; Ken Leestma, Grand Rapids, sec-ond tenor; Warren Hietbrink Worthington, Minnesota, baritone and Bob Schuller, Alton, Iowa, bass. Accompanying the group as organist and pianist was Sam Post-huma, of Friesland, Wisconsin.

The tour took the boys through Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota, Wis-consin, Iowa, South Dakota, Ne-braska, Colorado, and California. At least one appearance was made in each of these states. The quar-tet was met by fine, enthusiastic audiences, and made many valuable contacts with fr iends of Hope Col-lege throughout the country.

The object of the tour was to establish a closer relationship be-tween the college and some of its more distant supporters . The quar-tet was not sent out to solicit funds for the school, nevertheless, the offerings received were sufficient to cover all expenses of the tour, pense.

Blue Key Opens In New Location

The Blue Key Book Store is open for business in its new location, the large room across from the Coffee Kletz in Van Raalte Base-ment. With the increased floor space and some new display cases the store has taken on a new ap-pearance.

The Blue Key Honor Fraterni ty is running the store again this year with Chester Droog acting as man-ager. As in other years all profits that the store makes will be used for improvements around the col-lege.

In order to render f irst class service to the students the Frater-nity has hired five college men who will work part time as clerks in the store. This help plus the help of the Fraterni ty men will provide clerks enough to keep the store open for business from H:00 A. M. to 12:00 Noon and from 1:00 P. M. until 4:00 P. M.

203 Students Attend Hope Summer Session

Amidst the clat tering and pound-ing of the carpenters ' tools some two hundred and three students struggled to concentrate on the choice bits of wisdom expounded by their professors. June 23 was the opennig date of the six weeks summer session which closed Au-gust 1. Courses were offered by each of the various department? and were taught by many of Hope's present faculty.

Two new courses were added to the curriculum — one in ar t , taught by Mr. Vernon Babbitt; and one in nature study taught by Dr. Tennis Vergeer.

One of the recreational features for the male students was a base-ball team organized and spurred on to victory by Dr. John Hollen-back. The last week of school a beach par ty was held at Tunnel Park.

Greetings Frosh As a f reshman student you might consider

yourself as one link in a big chain of Hope College students. However, .ve upperclass-men consider you to be a \ cry important part of Hope and its college jictivities. We need your participation and - o-operation in all college functions, and we r r e hoping that you will be jus t as enthusiascic a group as other f reshmen classes have bien. It is only natural t ha t every student wi n ts his college to be bet ter than every other school. This can not be accomplished by having one-half of the s tudent body t ry ing t > bet ter them-selves and the college by j e t t ing out of school everything they can while the other half glibly sits by.

We are all probably fam liar with the s tatement tha t a chain is as s t rong as i ts weakest link. Let 's all t ry t > be a s t rong like in the Hope College chain.

Your Treasure House It was told on the 626th night of the

Arabian Nights that when All Baba uttered the magic words, "Open Ses; me," and the great door swung open he found a spacious, well-lighted cavern, containing rich bales of silks and carpets, gold and silver and gems in great heaps. Af te r many e cciting adven-tures, the wealth of the cavern became his property, and he lived in great splendor to enjoy it. Today, we want to u t te r those same words, "Open Sesame," and to pass into a modem treasure chamber, and share with you some of tlie wonderful th ings there. This t reasure room is but a few hundred yards from here, and it is piled high with treasures gathered f rom all over the world by the honest and sincere labor of many men during several generations. For years this wealth has been accumulating in our

Our Task The task in which we are engaged is not

the mere perpetration of armistice terms, not the mere cessation of a period of armed conflict, not the mere preparation for an-other interval between European wars. True peace is not the mere absence of war, but a positive and actively beneficial s ta te of affairs. And so the ultimate task before us is nothing less than creating the f rame-work for a renewal of European civilization, but civilization in "larger freedom." That is a noble enterprise. It is f i t t ing tha t coun-tries like the United States should make their contributions to this great objective. We are inheri tors of European civilization, and in a sense t rus tees for it. In the field of a rms we have twice gone to .Europe to redress a balance heavily tilted in favor of ty ranny ; our contributions in the field of social and economic well-being may equally help to prevent the u t te r disaster of another European war.

We dare not accept the cynical view that history must, of necessity, repeat itself. The fact that the war chapters of history have been repeated in the past is largely due to the lack of foresight on the part of some of those who imposed the peace. We must build a peace based on social justice and economic bet terment . Only by such a peace can free-dom from fear and freedom from want be ultimately assured to the men and women, and particularly to the children of the world.

Hopa'fl campus and buildings are alive with the traditions, stories and labors of many graduates and succeeding administrations. For this issue, Dr. D.'mnsnt has related the history of the Chapel 'Rose Window>to an Anchor reporter.

WHO ( A N E N J O Y a n y t h i n g in this world with contentment, who hath not liberty to serve God and save his own soul accord-ing to the best light which God hath im-planted in him ? The Liberty of conscience ought to be to all men dearest and most precious."

\ £ars f h

As 1 marched back up the aisle, clutching the diploma which 1 had just received at the Commencement exercises, 1 could not even force a lump in my throat as I looked around at my tear-glistened class-mates, for instead of sadly recall-ing past high school experiences, I was happily looking forward to en-tering college the coming Fall term.

July quickly passed with August on its heels, and I anxiously await-ed the opening of college as Sep-tember came into view. But all too quickly I found myself on THAT Sunday with my clothes all packed and ready for the morrow's new experiences. Now, that lump which three months previous could not be forced to appear , suddenly choked me as I thought of leaving my home, my fr iends and begin-ning a new life. I recall as if yes-terday, how my sister who was about to enter her junior year at Hope, and I gathered in my mother 's room and I asked her whether we HAD to go to college

if we couldn't stay home instead. Hut mother knew that what 1 fell was a hollow feeling in the pit ol my stomach as I transcended frorr an independent high school senioi somebody into a lowly, green col-lege f reshman nobody.

Monday came all too soon and brought with it the drayman whr took our t runks (stuffed until the last minute) to be sent on to col-lege. As I boarded the train foi Holland and bravely waved fare well to my parents, I fel t af though I were passing on to a new continent, and I choked on a cow-ardly sob which had underhandedly broken out.

I f inally arrived in Holland and went directly to the dormitory. I went into my assigned room and found a small dark room, prac-tically barren except for someone's luggage scattered from one end of the room to the other. I took one look at my "year ' s residential plan" and quickly walked down the hall. Someone there introduced me to a thin girl dressed in a grey suit.

She had a Joisey accent and turned out to be my roommate! Her f irst impression of me was my bright corduroy dress. In fact that same bright red corduroy dress may have formed many impressions in the next few days, for Fate was with me. I found myself a college student at Hope College clad in nothing but a red corduroy dress for three days. You see, my t runks were misplaced and I had a suit-case full of sweaters, but no skirts , no other dresses, no sheets, pillow-cases, towels and washcloths, nor blankets. Even my coats had not put in an appearance. I was more than ready to take the next t rain home for good. When everyone was dressed in sportsclothes, I wore saddles and — my red corduroy dress. When the girls were dressed for a formal occasion, I wore pumps with — my red corduroy dress. But now I can look back on my green f reshman days and laugh at my calamities, fo r I realize t ha t things happened like that to f resh-man gir ls years before I entered college, and will still be happening years a f t e r I graduate . They are all saved with the pleasant remem-brances to be pasted into a scrap-book of memories. Jus t remember, the f i r s t hundred years a re the hardes t !

Someone said, "If you look too

high for beauty, you may miss t i n

beauty Nature has provided for

us." This can be applied to the

fact that we often overlook the

pleasing sights that adorn our own

campus. It is amazing to behold

the intricate beauty of the lovely

Rose Window gleaming forth from

Hope Memorial Chapel as a symbol

:)f the t ruth for which HOPE

stands.

The pattern of the Rose Window

is outlined in four major circles;

the outer circle por t rays the period

in history from Creation to the Nativi ty as given in the Bible, de-veloping the study of man. Begin-ning at the top (r ight of center) is the f i rs t vignette entitled "CRE-ATION," representing the world emerging from a misty blue. The third vignette is " P A R A D I S E " and shows Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden; the animals sleeping to-gether in the foreground depict peace and security. Vignette num-ber four is the " E X I L E FROM EDEN." The coloring changes in relation to man's character and symbolizes man cult ivating the soil and wearing the skins of the ani-mals. Number six, "MIGRATION," shows Abraham leaving his home in the desert land of Chaldee.

Vignette seven, " T H E DESERT WANDERING," por t rays the Ark of the Covenant in the Wilderness while the Children of Israel are under the influence of the Egyp-tians. " P R O S P E R I T Y " symbolizes number nine, with Solomon appear-ing in all his glory. The prosper-ity of the Hebrews under the Kings and the beginning of culture are

depicted by harps and scrolls at

the feet of the King. In number

ten, "CAPTIVITY," the Woman at

the Waters of Babylon is weeping

for Jerusa lem; her sorrow appears

in the untouched ha rp and the

weeping willows, representing the

oppression which has come to the

chosen race. Vignette number

twelve is entitled the "NATIV-

ITY," with the Savior of the

World, the Babe in the Manger,

and the lilies of peace at His r ight .

Vignettes two, five, eight, and

aleven are conventional designs

.Tom European cathedral originals.

The second circle contains twen-

y-four conventional vignettes f rom

Kuropoan cathedral originals.

In circle three, beginning at the

top (r ight of center) and in alter-

nate order, are the college and uni-

versity seals; Leyden University,

Rutgers, Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Michigan. In the same circle, beginning the second right of cen-ter, and in al ternate order are the s y m b o l s of Culture: Painting, mathematics, music, astronomy, chemistry, and l i terature as sym-bolized respectively by the pal-lette. block and scale, the harp, an ancient symbol of the sun, a test tube, and a scroll and quill.

The seal of Hope College com-pletes the fourth and inner circle.

The s tar t toward the fund for the Rose Window was made from the first pageant , presented by the class of 19in. The designer of this beautiful piece of art , and also de-signer of Hope Memorial Chapel, is Dr. Edward D. Dimnent, of our own college.

YMCA Encourages Attendance

In the past Y.M.C.A. has been a " f i r s t " f o r many of the fellows a t Hope. Tuecday night studies, etc., have of ten been postponed only to find tha t the inspiration of "Y.M." was exact ly what had been needed so tha t one might go for th with an added zeal.

We a t Hope need to be growing Christians, and the fellowship ex-perienced through singing, Bible eading, praying, discussing, and

listening to Christ ian speakers f rom many walks of life, cannot help but encourage such growth.

We a re a t present experiencing the inspiration and fellowship of Orientation Week with its beach par ty , chapel toum, boat excursion, etc., but it is only a tas te of the fu tu re in store f o r " Y " members. The weekly Tuesd ly evening meet-'ngs, the annual Mission Drive, and Prayer Week are a glimpse of that fu ture .

Because the " C " in Y.M.C.A. sig-.lifies "Chr is t a t every meet ing," a grea t f u t u r e is assured. For this same reason every fellow on the ampus needs a t h a s t to give " Y " i t ry . We fcol t h a t next Tuesday vening is a goo I time to make our beginning and are expecting o see you then.

Coming Activities Outlined By YMCA

A grea t many blessings may be

received by Hope women each

Tuesday evening in YWCA. This

organization has offered in the past and will offer in the f u t u r e a splen-did opportuni ty to secure Christian experience and growth.

Meetings a re careful ly planned with selected music, devotions, and hymns led by Hope s tudents . Many special speakers a re asked to ad-dress the group. They a re often professors f rom our own campus.

Each month YW and YM have a

joint meeting. Forums have been held to allow s tudents to freely discuss their views. Also an an-nual mission drive is sponsored by these organizations. An event of g rea t interest is the annual week of p rayer in which many inspiring and upl i f t ing addresses are given by a guest speaker.

Hope Looks for Queen As Christie Abdicates

Betty Christie has decided not

to re turn to Hope this year. This

leaves Hope without a queen for

the f i r s t time in history. I t is not

known whether or how a new

queen will be selected. Miss Ree-

verts , Dean of Women, has made

no comment as yet. A f t e r the

proper authori t ies have been con-

sulted a suitable plan will be

worked out.

They tell about the student at

Indiana Universi ty who was giving

a report in World Politics class the

other day. One sheet of his notes

had disappeared. Unabashed, the

student said, "As Mahatma Ghandi said when he w a s caught in a wind s torm, I wonder where tha t sheet went ."

Alpha Chi Welcomes Students of Theology

"The inspiration t ha t was Hope

College" means little to a student whose f i r s t year on the campus presents only study. Alpha Chi wishes to extend her hand of fe l -lowship to all newcomers and wishes to invite all male students enter ing the field of theology or full t ime Christ ian service to join our organization. I t is our desire to give you a deeper insight in your chosen career and a t the same t ime make you feel as though you al-ways belonged to this campus so that your s tay will be all tha t you want it to be.

As we look back on the pas t year we can see the resul t of our endeavors and the value of o u r meetings. As we look toward the fu tu re we can see our main objec-tive of making the Teachings of Christ live not only on our Campus but in our lives as well. To reach our objective in life we must have an interest in what we are doing; to reach our objective in Alpha Chi we need your fellowship.

This issue of the Anchor marks the beginning of the 61st year of its publication on Hope's Campus.

SlvattvnxtxtB EmerHonian

The Emersonian F ra te rn i ty -ex-. tonds I.oarty welcome to all new and old s tudents on Hope's cam-pus. The year 1947-1948 promises to he a school year filled with great opportuni t ies and possibilities. (Mans for the year include the usual rush ing meetings to which all new men are cordially invited, the regular l i terary meetings, par-tics, and participation in all col-lege functions. Emersonians will bo found active in all ftelds of en-deavor whether it be in the realm of sports, dramatics, music, sci-o ice, or scholastic a t ta inment .

Realizing the r e s p o n s i b i l i t y placed upon it as a leader on the campus, Emersonian will be guided by its motto of "Love, Honor, Suc-cess." Upon these three cardinal points we will build toward a bet-ter college and a better world. To that end will our l i terary meetings bo directed, but always with the proper amount of humor and song, without which the world would soon be dead.

Arcadian

The Arcadian Fra terni ty has the distinction of being the youngest f ra te rn i ty on the campus, being or-ganized last October. In spite of its youth, the f ra te rn i ty has al-ready proven its ability to hold its own against the other f ra terni t ies .

Last year members of the so-ciety won the top three places in the annual men's Oratorical Con-test. The Arcadians held a com-pletely formal party, and the event was a notable success. Arcadian athletic t eams competed against teams from other f ra ts , and won a fair share of victories. The climax of the first Arcadian year occurred when the (llee Club won the first-place trophy at the annual inter-f ra te rn i ty sing.

The Arcadians are looking for-ward to another full and prosper-ous year under the leadership of their new president, Vergil Dyk-s t ra . Members of the f ra te rn i ty have been given places of leader-ship in various campus activities and will continue to uphold the Arcadian s tandards .

Knickerbocker

The Knickerbocker Fra te rn i ty , seeking" to promote a f r a te rna l spirit among not only its members but also the entire student body, has whole heartedly and enthusi-astically entered into campus ac-tivities again this year. In the line of activities, each semester is cli-maxed by the formal par ty pre-ceded by informal affairs within the f ra te rn i ty . The in ter - f ra t ath-letic contests serve as a g rea te r s t imulus for co-operation with each other.

This year the Kappa E t a Nu Fra terni ty is looking forward to a most successful season. Rushing of new pledges has begun as have plans for special meetings. Instal-lation of officers is scheduled for the f i r s t meeting, to be followed by a period Oi general planning. Included in this year 's plans is the publishing of—a* year book for alumni and a review of . the past history of the f ra te rn i ty . From time to time it is planned that en-ter tainment programs will be put on for the f ra te rn i ty .

o

Cosmopolitan

"Friendship, Truth and Prog-ress." These three words have held sway over many people in the past, present and will in the fu ture . On Hope's campus a group of male students have adopted these words as an immortal motto and have engaged themselves in the task of keeping these words sacred at all times.

Phi Kappa Alpha has always en-joyed co-operating with the other campus societies in forwarding community spirit and in welcom-ing new students to the Alma Mater. The Cosmopolitan society is proud to be able to again con-tinue as a leader in Hope's activi-ties such as inter-fra terni ty sports, All-College Sing, student programs and many other campus events. To all the new students the Cosmo-politans extend a hearty welcome.

—o

Fraternal

The Fraternal Society will prob-ably have its first meeting of the year tomorrow evening. At that t ime Kenneth VVeller will take over the presidency for the fall term. The other officers for the first term include llarv Muter, vice president: Paul Hinkamp, secre-t a ry : and Dick Higgs, t reasurer .

The Fraternal Society is the old-est organization of any sort on Hope's campus. It was founded at I'liion College, Pennsylvania, in IS."',4, and moved to Hope in ISM. Originally founded as a l i terary organization. Fraternal has more recently branched into social life and athletics. The society has al-ways been a leader in many cam-pus activities.

In the near fu tu re fall rushing will begin so Fraternal will be in the mad scramble along with the rest of the societies. As the year progresses special meetings and part ies will be coming. Next spr ing the Fra te rs have every intention of again putt ing on the unique Fra te r Frolics.

P. & M. Work fo Sfarf W i th Play By Moliere

The dramat ic department Hope College, Pallette and Masque, plans to s tar t work this fall on a three-act play, Moliere's "Imag-inary Invalid" which already has one performance booked for No-vember 25th at the Women's Lit-e ra ry Club.

A big year is anticipated under the able direction of Mr. Edward Avison and with the addition of Zwemer basement as the P. & M. headquarters.

tures were given in English and

eight nationalities were represent-

ed. Tuition for this course was un-

believably low in order to a t t ract

as many outsiders as possible. The

group visited a student summer

work camp on the island of Wal-cheren. These camps are run en-tirely by students for war recon-struction. They are again interna-tional so s tudents can work in sev-eral countries dur ing the summer. There is also a well organized in-ternational recreational program for college students.

The economic conditions in the Netherlands are better than almost anywhere else in Europe. This is due chiefly to the at t i tude of the people. They are determined to get back on their fee t through hard work and sacrifice. They realize the necessity of foreign markets and are co-operating closely with other western European countries. Their greatest f e a r is Russia. The Dutch feel sure tha t the Republi-can leaders in Indonesia are backed by Moscow. They will be very willing to recognize Indonesian in-dependence when a responsible government has been established. Dr. De Graaf had many other in-terest ing observations on Dutch political and economic conditions.

The par ty was guests of Princess Jul iana aboard the Royal Yacht. She was vacationing on the Fries-ian Lakes. She spoke very favor-ably of her visit to Hope College during the spring of 1941.

Dr. De Graaf added that through-out their t r ip their host, the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, gave them all it promised and more.

all day picnic. The year is then

ended with another slumber par ty

at which farewells are said to the

seniors and the sorority officers

for the following year are elected.

Woven in between these main

activities a re teas, joint meetings

with other sororities and f ra te rn i -ties, holiday parties, and alumnae meetings. Plus these are the week-ly meetings which are held on Fri-day nights at 7:30.

Campus life for the Sibylline sorority member is filled with edu-cational, social, and religious activ-ities.

• Dorian

The Dorian Sorority s tar ted out

the year with enthusiasm by hav-

ing the traditional house par ty on

Tuesday night . This par ty includ-

ed a supper par ty at a cottage, an

evening of fun, talking about plans

for t he year 1947-1948, as well as

incidental talk about old times and

things that happened this summer.

Followed by a slumber ( ? ) party,

everyone had a wonderful time.

Plans for the year include the

DUTCH TO INVADE BIG RAPIDS Hope Opens Grid Season Against Ferris Tomorrow

«*•

Another big football season will get under way Friday night for the Hops Dutchmen when they in-vade Hig Rapids to take on the Fer r i s eleven. And all indications pr>int to a repetition of last year 's score, when Coach A) Vanderbush's lads soundly trounced the Inst i tute , .'{8-0.

The Dutchmen, with 17 let termen back to lead the way, have been digging in for weeks, and undei the capable management of Coach es Vandarbush, Higgs, Mulder, and Yoemans show marked improve-ment every day. Only real gap left a f t e r graduation was the right halfback slot vacated by Ar t Tim-mer, and more than enough men have reported to replace it. Sev-eral good freshmen are out to break into the lineup, and accord-ing to Coach Van, will. Ted Bar-rett and Eddie Leverette, tw< ^poaily backs will undoubtedly sec a great deal of action this year, as well as Tackle Fred Kalsbeck am ( enter Gene Campbell. These fou. men, all new to college ball, wil soon be showing the way if prac t ee r.esr.i.ms indicate ability.

Lettermen returning are Yonkei at quarterback, Kraii, Post, ant

^Zwemer, halfbacks, Emery, full back, De Mull and Formsma, ends Collins, Draper, Cornell, and Tim merman, tackles, Dick, Moerland Welle", and Hinkus, guards, and Ladewig nn:l Hruggers, centers Coach Vanderbush indicated tha". all the s ta r t ing positions will bi filled by lettermen, but that new men will undoubtedly break into the lineup during the first contest. Reserve.? a re deep in every posi-tion, excepting possibly the quar-terback slot, where Yonker holds undisputable priority.

Very little is known of the Fer-ris squad. Usually a late season team, they are often rated the un-derdo}!: in early games. However, the s :me team that Hope defeated last year in the opening contest will he back, to the man, plus a season of practice, and a three-week jump on the Dutchmen this year. Only because Hope won in 1!M(I will the Dutch be rated fa-vorites; it is opinioned by Coacl Vanderbush that the opening con-tost may well be the toughest.

Probably s tar t ing lineup for the oranire and blue will be: Emery at fullback. Post and Kraii at the halfbacks, Yonker at quarterback, De Mull and Formsma on the ends. Collins and Timmerman tackles Dick and Moerland or Ryzenga at the guards and Ladewig or Camp-bell at center.

I t 's hard to realize that the football ceason is just around the

corner. The weather, hot and muggy, has certainly not aided or been

beneficial to practice, and has more or less dampened the spirit of

the thing. But the breeze is blowing in and no doubt the opening

whistle will find cooler weather.

Everyone seems to think Hillsdale will again cop the championship

in the league, this t ime all by themselves, with no Hornets or Dutch-

men hanging on. I believe so too! With their entire team back, save one, with a couple of all MIAA touchdown twins, both leaders in scoring in the state last year, with a coach like Dave Nelson, disciple of Crisler and a complete author i ty on the Crisler system. But Kala-mazoo is close behind, and Hope. What about Hope? Is there hope for Hope? But definitely, say the authori t ies . The Dutchmen have plenty of lettermen back, more than any o ther conference team; two hig gaps, left by Timmer and Schriemer have been plugged and plugged well; the reserve s t rength is s taggering, except at quarterback where it would be a very difficult th ing indeed to replace Yonker. Speed will be the byword in Coach Vanderbush's squad th is season; the " T " calls for it, and so does his l ightweight backfield. Of course there is Emery that 200-pound plunging fullback, who should, if he keeps his head, make the all MIAA team this year. And a couple of all s tate (Michi-gan) high school lads, now on the blue and orange, Bar re t t and Lev-erette, both small, but plenty fas t to carry out the coach's plan. Kraii can, once he gets going, out-run anybody in the conference, and Post is no piker on off-tackle plunges. Which br ings us to the line, tha t too of ten unheard of seven who really make the team what it is. DeMull is f i t and good, and so is Formsma, the ends; Collins and Timmerman and Kalsbeek and Draper — average weight 200 pounds — should be able to handle the tackle assignments as well as any tackles in the league. Len Dick has three letters in football f rom Hope already, which about tells the s tory; the other guard slot can be taken care of by veteran Moerland, or Mike Kromp or Ted Rycenga, two new-comers, or Weller and Rinkes, two letter-winners. At center will be either Lade-wig or Campbell, with Bruggers and Boerigter willing and able. So there it is. On paper not bad, on the field, nobody knows.

The f i rs t two games should be wins for the Dutch, then comes Hills-dale, and so I must say, because I have picked them, that they will beat the Dutch. However, the fact that we play them here, on an afternoon in October, with all the lovely co-eds watching their heroes perform, may be the deciding factor in the ball game. Little things like tha t do count you know. I never could have kicked that ext ra point for Notre Dame, the one that beat Army back in '40 if it hadn't been for my girl fr iend up there in the 32nd row!

A title scramble, unparalleled in the history of the league, is the prediction for this year 's Michigan intercollegiate Athletic Associa-tion football race. The little col-leges are going to exhibit slam-bang a.'tion, and the championship won't be decided until the last j ay of the se.ison, November 8.

Opinion of the coaches around he six-team circuit gives the nod o Hillsdale to walk away with the ;rown. Yet each one will quickly idd that Hope looks plenty rough, and Kalamazoo's a threa t . And don't forget Alma, whose enroll-ment has jumped to almost 700 — ?econd largest school in the con-ference. And so it goes. Tied Last Season

In 1946 Kalamazoo and Hills-iale tied for the league title, and -here was playoff talk, but the Dales balked. The Hornets would lave been champions if it hadn ' t been for a 20-0 defeat at the hands )f Hillsdale, and the Dales might lave been titleholders if Albion hadn't upset them.

Despite the fact that most pre-war eligibility rules have been re-nstated, the f reshman rule has )een waived, and f i rs t -year new-comers can participate in the var-sity f racas ' this year. New s t a r s i re bound to show up among the :rosh — making the outcome of the season unpredictable.

Head Hillsdale Mentor Dave Nel-ion, can't help but dream of a rosy fu tu r e with his high-scoring touchdown twins. Bill Young and Tom Ward among the re turning veterans, both All-MIAA selec-tions. The Little Blue lost but one game last year — a n d it cost them an undisputed title — bowing to Al-bion. Two other Dales with "All-MIAA" besides their names are Alex Clelland, center, and Jack Masterton, tackle. Charles at Hillsdale

Other letterwinners are Ends Captain Ray Perry and John Cud-deback; Tackles Dick Pifer and John Nitz; Guards Carl Zweig, Bob McNeilage and Bob Cort; Cen-ter Cleo Winchell and Fullback Tom Albright. Among the new comers, Monte Charles, Vicksburg high school s t a r in 1946, has shown much promise.

Assist ing Nelson are Harold Westerman, and Mike Lude — D a l e guard last year.

Hope gives promise of having the fas tes t backfield in the MIAA. All-MIAA quarterback, Nick Yon-ker, has returned, and he will be aided by two freshmen lights, Ted ia r re t t , a l l -s tate halfback f rom

Muskegon high school, and Eddy Leverette, scatback from Holland high. S ta r dashman, Vern Kraai , and Ernie Post and Bob Emory are also str iving for backfield posts.

On the line are Clair De Mull, Gerald Fprsnia, and Harvey But-er,"6nds; Bob Collins, Gordon Tim-merman, Ralph Cornell and Bill Draper, tackles; Abe Moerland, Don Rinkes, Ken Weller and Len Rick, guards ; and Glenn Bruggers , Charles Newton and Don Lade-wig, centers. An imposing a r r ay . Tom Shopoff Missing

Head coach again this year is A1 Vanderbush, with Don Mulder, Dutch cage star, as his assistant.

Kalamazoo College has the ma-jority of its 1946 personnel back, but is minus All-MIAA Back Tom Shopoff, the latter choosing not to return to school this fall. Coach Bob Nulf, however, can count on All-MIAA Guard Vince Marandino;

E m b Val Jablonski and Milt Chris-ten; Tackles AI Grabarek and Earl Kink; Guards Charier. Wr igh t ; Cen-ter Gus Southworth; an 1 Backs Charley Stanr.ki, Bob Reed, J immy Nawrot, Len Backer and Cen2 Flowers.

The Hornets won all but two en-counters in 1946, but thin reason look weak in reserve s t rength . Sev-eral f reshmen, however, a r c on hand to lighten the burden.

Line Coaches Lloyd (Dob) Grow

and Bruce (Pinky) Warren will again assist Nulf. New Coach at Albion

Only coaching change in the con-ference took place at Albion, where Assistant Dean Rockwell took over the guiding reins from veteran Dale Sprankle. He will be assisted by Walt Sprandel.

Fourteen lettermen have return-ed from the '46 Briton eleven, in-cluding Charles Clark, All-MIAA guard. According to Rockwell, the Britons will turn their at tent ion to strict offense, with Bob Mohr, tr iple-threat back, expected to be the hub of the attack.

Other important veterans back i re John Oakes, who has been shifted f rom center to quar terback; Marvin Shebel and Bob Lenzi, guards; Ralph Baughey and Bob Kincaid, tackles; and Wendell Mar-tin and Paul Bennett, backs. Tullis Still Around

Alma's f reshman crop is large, but its potentialities a re unknown. Forming the nucleus of the 1947 squad are Max Tullis, speedy All-MIAA halfback; Bucky Walters , 1946 fullback and captain; Gayle Saxton, tackle; and Rocky Walker, halfback.

Steve Sebo s ta r t s his second year as Scot mentor, and will have a former Alma star, Bruce Butler, as his assis tant .

Not much is known of an Ad-rian squad tha t lost all e ight of its games last year. Lyman Ab-bot will be enter ing his second sea-son as Bulldog mentor, and will have Norman Mountain as his as-sistant.
