IN RECOGNITION OF DAD MOON BECAUSE OF DAD'S KEEN DETECTIVE QUALITIES, HIS TOLERANCE, PATIENCE, AND CO-OPERATION WITH THE STUDENTS, HIS TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AS CUSTODIAN OF THE COLLEGE, AND HIS POLICY OF NOT TELLING ALL HE KNOWS, WE—THE STAFF OF THE 1935 SIBYL—ARE MORE THAN PROUD TO DEDICATE THIS TWENTY-EIGHTH VOLUME TO A. H. MOON.
WE WISH, IN THIS SINCERE THOUGH
SMALL WAY, TO SHOW OUR LOVE AND APPRE CIATION OF DAD, THE "STUDENTS' FRIEND."
W
RO LOG U • AS OTHERS HAVE VENTURED INTO NEW FIELDS IN THE PAST SO ARE WE MAKING NEW EXPLORATIONS IN THE METHODS OF PRESEN TATION IN THIS 1935 SIBYL • OUR PURPOSE IS TO TRULY PORTRAY, AS NEARLY AS POSSIBLE, THE CAMPUS, THE STU DENT BODY, AND THE ACTIVITIES OF OTTERBEIN, IN THE ORDER THAT A COLLEGE STU DENT FIRST APPROACHES THEM. • TO BEST DO THIS WE FEEL THAT IT IS NEC ESSARY TO DEPARTMENTALIZE THE BOOK AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. • WE HAVE ENDEAVORED TO KEEP THE TONE AND TERMINOLOGY VERY INFORMAL AND TRULY TYPICAL OF OTTERBEIN STUDENTS.
After months of inspirations and dis appointments, suffering while would-be musicians practiced over our cubby hole, writing ceaseless chapel an nouncements, explaining to seniors what freshmen already know, and keeping the staff at work, we now breathe a sigh of relief-—for the Sibyl is ready to be presented by—

IN ADMIRATION OF
FORTY-FOUR GOLDEN YEARS A TRIBUTE BY
T. J. SANDERS ^ THESE WERE FORTY-FOUR GOLDEN YEARS THAT BORE GOLDEN FRUIT. ALL YEARS OF EFFIOIENT AND FAITHFUL WORK FOR OTTERBEIN COLLEGE. ^ SUCH IN BRIEF IS THE RECORD OF MISS TIRZA L. BARNES, WHO EARLY IN THE YEAR WAS RETIRED AT HER OWN REQUEST. GRADUATING FROM OTTERBEIN COLLEGE IN 1885, SHE BEGAN TEACHING IN MICHIGAN; THEN IN WESTFIELD COLLEGE, ILL. << IN 1890 SHE CAME TO OTTERBEIN AND FOR EIGHT YEARS WAS "PRINCIPAL OF LADIES DEPARTÂ MENT, HOVERSTOCK CHAIR," DOING PART TIME TEACHING. THEN CAME HER GREAT WORK IN THE LIBRARY, TO WHICH, WITH HER FINE LITERARY ABILITY, SHE DEVOTEDLY GAVE HERSELF UNTIL HER RESIGNATION.
MEET THE PREXY
Gllppinger,
d.d., ll.d.
President of Otterbein Collese
Dr. Walter G. Clippmger, our honored and beloved president, whom we, as students, prefer to call Prexy. This title, we feel, has become rightly attached to him because of his sterling qualities, which have always dominated his life as the administrator of the destinies of Otterbein. Always placing ideals foremost, Dr. Clippinger has become a great administrator and leader, gaining national recognition for his far-reaching influence in the fields of education and religion. As he rounds out this twenty-sixth year of unselfish service to Otterbein, we wish him many more years of continued success.

WHAT THREE YEARS CAN DO 'J'HERE wasn’t much hope for it at first—for this diminutive class that enrolled at Otterbein in the fall of the year one thousand nine hun dred thirty-two. Old friends of the college were critical, the Administra tion was skeptical, and outsiders made derogatory remarks concerning this anaemic off-spring of the depression. Nevertheless, this group was Otterbein’s only hope for its graduating class of ’36 and the college must make the best of the situation. The case was comparable to that of a sick baby which had been brought to a clinic for treatment. The Chief of Staff at the Otterbein Clinic immediately prescribed and administered his Oriental Resuscitation treatment for the infant patient. The child was nursed with the milk of human psychology and was fed from a test-tube. As soon as it was strong enough, the patient was operated on for the removal of abominable grammar. Because of the linguistic versatility of the doctors the babe learned to converse in several tongues. After the first year of these treatments a decided improvement began to make itself conspicuous. During its second year, the Class of ’36 was permitted to choose some of its own treatments. It began to run around the campus and was to be found almost anywhere—on the football field, on the stage, or in the lab oratories. There was still a long, hard road ahead for both doctors and patient, but there were hopes— By the beginning of its third year, the "child” was pronounced by the whole staff as perfectly normal and healthy. But any group which has tasted of the sweetness of achievement such as had this class, could never be satisfied with mere normalcy. Its development since has been so phe nomenal that it has stepped into a position of leadership among all the classes of Otterbein, thoroughly prepared to shoulder any responsibility which may be passed on by the class which precedes it. And now as the Class of ’36 stands on the threshold of its fourth year at Otterbein, and looks forward to the time when it must walk alone on its own legs, it feels confident that it will be able not only to walk alone, but also to step as gracefully as any class which has preceded it. One of them—John

FOOTPRINTS LEFT BEHIND TN September, 1931, sixty-three humble, insignificant, green and hesitating
Freshmen, who now compose the stately Senior Class, first ventured forth on this continent (or shall we say Otterbein’s campus) a new class with their lives dedicated to that task of obtaining the best of all that there was to be had within the walls of this noble institution of learning—a first step toward the goal which we are now approaching. For these four years, we have been making footprints upon the life of Otterbein. They were not always in the right direction, but were ever striving, although not always succeeding, toward higher and nobler ideals. We have lost many of our original members, but those of us who have attained the rank and dignity of Seniors have left behind us many of these impressions, more and better ones each year. Some of our footprints were at first indefinite and hesitating, but as we have continued along our way, we have become surer of ourselves, with the result that the marks we have made have become more clear-cut. In every phase of athletics we have left our imprint. In the dramatic art several of our members have been unusually proficient. In music, that most beautiful and expressive of all fields of art, we have left numerous and well-defined marks. Of course, we have had leaders from among our number to help us in making the right steps. During our Freshman year, Stewart Cox helped our slow and uncertain feet to get started in the right direction, so as to follow no paths leading to blind alleys. When we were gay young Sophomores, John Deever took up the work and guided us while many of us were ven turing into new fields of activity. Woodrow Purdy showed us the way dur ing our Junior year, and during our last and most fruitful year, Verle Miller has led us, making sure that the last impressions that we leave are good ones, since they are the ones by which you will remember us most after we are gone. In leaving these beloved halls we want to thank you, dear Otterbein, for your influence over us for the past four years, which we know will help us in making desirable footprints upon the outside world, which we will soon enter. Paced by Haueter.

OTTERBEIN'S BI-WEEKLY TAN AND CARDINAL The Tan and Cardinal staff of 1934-35 is the forty-fifth staff to publish Otterbein’s news paper. It was first published in 1890^ being one of the first Ohio college newspapers. In recent years the paper was included in the incidental fee and now the staff is chosen by the Publication Hoard, which body determines the policy to be followed. The staff is chosen solely on the basis of merit, willingness, and interest, seniority being only a minor (pialification in most instances except in that of choosing the editor. Since the paper has been put under the control of the Publication Hoard it has become an ever increasingly potent factor in campus activities. Special editions were issued at the Fall Homecoming, Winter Homecoming, May Day, and Graduation Day Exercises. These papers included the official programs. One of the major aims or undertakings of the current year was to attempt to clear the burdensome debt which has hampered publication for a number of years. As a result the debt has been practically wiped out, giving the paper a clean slate largely through the strenuous efforts and cooperation of Husiness Manager Richard Mitchell and Editor Robert Airhart. Hecause of their untiring efforts the student body is recognizing the paper as having been much improved as a campus news sheet. A close observer would have noticed the gradual but steady trend toward the lighter and more airy type of writing. In many ways this is indicative that we are surely pulling away from the old ditch in which we have been engulfed in the dull routine of lifeless reporting of events that are really filled with vitality. However, the policy was conservative enough to mamtam and even balance continuously and at the same time gave the student more interesting reading matter. What does the future hold?

The International Relations Club is a powerful campus oifrani/.ation \Wiose membership is drawn from those students who are particularly interested in the social sciences and especially contemporary world affairs. Otterbein’s club is affiliated with similar groups at other co leges throughout Ohio. They hold combined meetings several times a year. KcTcntly the Iiitern.itional Relations Clubs met in a forum at Denison University. Otterbeiii and C apital have conducted a series of exchange meetings for the last several years. At these meetings papers are prepared and read and then the group holds open discussions on the subject. n order to better acquaint students with the work of the organisation, the local club has taken leadership in some campus activities and has presented a chapel program. At least once each year a model League of Nations assembly is held on the campus of one of the affiliated schools. Delegates lue sent from •ach school representing certain nations. Previous to this, the delegates will have in ormed them selves by study and research of the problems of their nation. Without a doubt this is a very Jesirable and worthwhile project.

RAMBLING THRU MCFADDEN O /^sop has been accredited most of the rich old fables that have been handed down through the centuries. Occasionally however, one of our contemporaries produces a fable equally as rich and old in its philosophy. It was while talking with Professor McCloy one evening that he recounted the fable of the old grad, who had returned to his Alma Mater. Old Grad and his wife were being conducted about the campus when they ap proached McFadden Science Hall. Here he delegated the star reporter, who knew little about science, to conduct him and Mrs. Grad through the edifice. After com menting on the beauty of the architecture, they entered the south door and started to enter the room marked "Organic Laboratory.” "Whew!” said Mrs. Old Grad, "some one has been leaving some old butter around till it is much overdue.” Old Grad re membered some of his chemistry. "Just studying butyrates, mother, and that is how they smell.” "Yes,” said our reporter, "you are likely to find any odor from garbage to frankincense. If you hear any rasping sound, it is probably some students testing Esselstyn’s saving cream.” Just as they started to enter the Inorganic Laboratory, a loud pop made them jump back. "Just a freshman who failed to read directions and his hydrogen generator has gone blooie,” said the reporter in his inelegant English. "Let’s go upstairs before we are disintegrated. Now here, on the second floor is a museum of various curios, stuffed animals, and a lot of most interesting things. Next to it is a laboratory devoted to Geology and Histology. Then there are two classrooms and a Physics Laboratory. Here they measure coefficients and indices, rig up all types of electrical circuits, and over in that corner we have a short wave transmitter and a receiver for the special benefit of that strange creature known as the Radio Bug.” "Now notice here on the third floor this fine collection of butterflies. On this floor we have four laboratories for Zoology, Botany, Physiology, and Bacteriology. These are well equipped and a greenhouse on the roof is a fine adjunct to the Botany de partment. In the Zoology Laboratory we see skeletons of various animals, parts of dismembered animals in formaldehyde, as well as a few live things in a tank such as turtles and mud puppies. In the Bacteriology Laboratory we find students looking through microscopes to find bacilli and streptococci which they do not desire to enter tain as a host.” Old Grad interrupted at this point. "This equipment is fine, but are the students really learning science and are they in earnest about their work?” I am glad you asked that,” said the guide. "The fact is the students do take an interest in science and receive a training equal to the best. W^e have an active chapter of Sigma Zeta, the honorary scientific fraternity, wherein the students and faculty unite in fine programs devoted to science. Then I can cite you many examples of our grad uates who have made outstanding succeeses in scientific lines. Some enter medical schools, some do graduate work in science, some enter laboratory work, some lean toward engineering. I can assure you that a student who is really in earnest can receive a good foundation training in any branch of science in good old McFadden Science Hall.”

The Epsilon Chapter of Sigma Zeta is a national honorary science fraternity whose purpose is to increase an interest in and knowledge of scientific matters, and to encourage a higher de gree of scholarship among all students. The present chapter has twelve active and twenty-two associate members. This year, under the very capable direction of Glenn Haueter as Program Chairman, the fraternity has enjoyed exceptionally good programs. An outstanding event of the year was the presentation of Finklestein, the Polish mathematical wizard, in a public meeting Last spring, the National Konclave was held on our campus, bringing representatives from every college boasting a chapter. To be eligible for active membership, one must be a Junior or Senior with at least a minor in mathematics or science and must have maintained an average of 2 in these subjects and a 1.5 general average. Any Freshman or Sophomore with a i-point average and one semester of science or mathematics is eligible for associate membership.

On every campus, there is a group of students which is vitally interested in music. The Otterbein Music Club was formed to broaden the musical culture of those students already in terested and to promote musical interest throughout Otterbein College. The club holds regular meetings at which time music is presented and topics of musical nature are discussed. For the last several years, the group has enjoyed a very large membership. Thus provided with ample talent, the club’s programs may be quite varied, resulting in very keen interest on the part of all members. Miss Lula Baker has been acting in the capacity of the club’s advisor and it is be cause of her tireless efforts that the group has prospered as much as it has. Anyone who is in terested in music of any kind is eligible for membership in the club and is urged to join.

The String Choir has become a very important part of the music department of the college. I his organization provides a stimulus for the students of violin. Under the able direction of Mabel Dunn Hopkins, the choir has prepared several recital programs and provides music on various occasions. During the current season the choir gave a program in chapel, played before a number of plays, including the Junior and Senior productions, and appeared in a Spring re cital. The most outstanding program was the Candle Light Musicale presented by the choir on December i6 in the College Church. The program was entirely classical and featured a violin solo by Kenneth Holland and several vocal selections from Handel’s “Messiah” by Dick Whit tington.

PROFESSOR GLENN G. GRABILL MASTER ORGANIST
Glenn Grant Grabill is organist and choir-master of the First Congregational Church in Columbus, Ohio.
While organist of the first United Brethren Church of
Westerville since its erection in 1915, Mr. Grabill was called to be Minister of Music of the historic First Congregational Church of Columbus, better known as the church of the world famous scholar and minister, Washington (jladden.
Prior to this call,
Mr. Grabill had been well known in Columbus as organist for both the Scottish Rite and Aladdin Shrine, Masonic organizations noted as possessing fine musical units. When the First Congregational Church of Columbus was being planned, forty thousand dollars was given to be expended on a very large organ which would be worthy of a place in the million dollar edifice.
Mr. Grabill was asked to select the maker of
the organ and, after careful investigation, selected the Kimball Company of Chicago. He was then asked to dedicate the organ himself, which he did before an over capacity crowd on December 13, 1931.
Since that time Mr. Grabill has offered three annual Christmas recitals, which seem to have become a fixture in the musical life of Columbus.
On each occasion the
church was filled to capacity. We love Professor Grabill for what he has done for the musical life of Otterbein College.
He is ranked as one of the leading organists in the country and he and his
wife have become endeared in the hearts of all Otterbein students for their beautiful contributionâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;The Otterbein Love Song.

PROPOSITION
John Franki.in Smith Professor of Public Speaking Eight years of service
Professor Smith may well be called one of the busies^ men on the faculty. His responsibilities never cease. In classes, he teaches public speaking, interpretative reading, dramatics, make-up, debate, and play production. In addition, to him falls the task of coaching most of the college plays. But that is not all. It seems that he is expected to produce and coach orators, debaters, and readers of such caliber that they may be entered in intercollegiate competition. In all this, he has certainly succeeded as shown by our representatives who have won three out of four places in our league of Ohio colleges. On March 23 and 23, Otterbein was host to the Provincial Convention in which twenty-three colleges from Ohio, Michigan, New York, and West Virginia com peted in debate, oratory and extemporaneous speaking. We wish to compliment a man who is putting his whole soul into his work. In tribute, we say, “Well done. Professor.”

RUSSELL DECLAMATION AND ORATORICAL CONTESTS Among the many contributions Or. Howard Hyde Russell has made to Otterbein none is more outstanding and significant than the establishment several years ago of the funds for prizes to winners in oratory and declamation. Dr. Russell has always been intensely interested in the development of good speakers and has personally appeared before the student body on numerous occasions to deliver addresses. Forensics to him are the highest achievement one can attain. They have ahvays been a part of bis life and he is trying to instill into us as students the immense value to be obtained from participating in oratorical and declamation contests. Each year contests are held in these fields. Attractive prizes give the students the added in centive or desire to compete. As a result the contests have never been lacking in interest or participation. Last spring the interest and subject matter were so vital and the competition was so keen in the Oratorical contest that the judges were forced to deliberate for some time before arriving at the decision. The winners were as follows: Byron E. Harter, first; George Vance, second, Francis Reigle, third; Richard Caulker, fourth. Unfortunately, no picture of Dick was available at the time of the mounting. The fall of 1934 saw an unusual field of entrants in the declamation contests. These were well attended and well received. All the subjects were vitally interesting and were presented so well that judging was difficult. The eventual winners were: Dorothy DeWitt, first; Sara Kathryn Kelser, second; Arthur Haines, third; Morris Allton, fourth.

Cleiorhetea, a progressive women’s society of high literary standards, had its beginning in 1871, when eleven members of Philalethea sep arated from that society and formed the foundation of the new organi zation. This change was made because of crowded conditions in the older society. Cleiorhetea varies her programs with readings, original poetry, ora tions aiid extemporaneous speaking.

Mrs. Gatrell supervises the Art Club which has no officers. This year the Home Economics and Art Kraft clubs have joined forces. This action was deemed advisable since so much of the work of each organization carries over into that of the other and the personnel is very nearly the same in both groups. The purpose of the organiza tion IS to get practical training in the application of theories taught in class. The club makes all kinds of costume design layouts, greeting cards, interior decorating, favors, invitations and numerous other articles. The Home Economics Club is nationally affiliated with several large organizations.

SOCIAL LIFE AT OTTERBEI N P â&#x2013; T raternities
and sororities at Otterbein trace their origin back to the year 1908, at which time
Pi Beta Sigma, Pi Kappa Phi, and Alpha Beta Sigma, now a part of Sigma Delta Phi, were first organized. Throughout the succeeding years, new groups have arisen and others have died out, merged, or have been absorbed until today there are seven sororities and five fraternities. This natural development, although inevitable and many years tardy in arriving at Otterbein, was not without strenuous opposition upon the part of both faculty and trustees. Today, after almost a quarter century of struggle and strife, the fra ternities and sororities have at last come into their own and play a vital part in the life of Otterbein.

L
PHYSICAL EDUCATION AT OTTERBEIN • Among the bright spots in Otterbein’s brilliant and eventful history there is probably none more striking than the development of her department of physical education. As we glance back through the records we find that she has always taken a position of leadership among her sister colleges as a producer of fine inter collegiate and intra-mural teams—teams that have gained wide renown and have won numerous championships in football, basket ball and track. The physical education program had its beginning at the time the gym in the Association building was completed. The quarters were cramped and lack of adequate equipment severely handi capped the progress. In spite of these obstacles the department made such rapid and healthy growth that the alumni rallied to the cause and instigated plans for new gymnasium facilities. Success crowned their efforts with the completion of our beautiful Alumni Gymnasium which has become the stamping ground for men. In addition the old gym has been completely modernized and re equipped to amply accommodate the women’s division. We wish to take this opportunity to commend Professor Royal F. Martin who, with the cooperation of his very capable assistants, has been largely instrumental in develop)ing the well rounded athletic programs of the college. The key-note of his success is, "Participation of every student.”

THE SEASON IN BRIEF
THE CARDS INVADE THE QUEEN CITY Cincinnati was the first college contest for six of the eleven starting Cardinals, who were outweighed about fifteen pounds per man. Obviously, the Cards were not expected to trounce a more seasoned and experienced team. Despite these odds, the Otterbein machine put up a real battle the whole first quarter. Finally the Bearcats’ superiority began to show as the Cards weakened for lack of reserves. At the final gun, Cincinnati had amassed forty-five points.
THE BEE-GEES PLAY HOST Again outweighed, Otterbein met a foe more in their own class as they battled me Bowling Green gridmen. A pass from Rutter to Anderson resulted in the only Card score. Late in the fourth quarter, the Cards threatened, marching sixty yards to me two yard line, only to be stopped by the stubborn Bee-Gees. Meanwhile, Bowling Green chalked up three touchdowns. The final score was 20 to 7.
WITTENBERG DESCENDS ON CARDS Despite the home surroundings, Otterbein’s eleven was unable to cope with the Lutheran aggregation. The fracas ended in favor of Wittenberg, 33-0. The score is

SMOKE
a poor means of judging the strength of the two teams, since Wittenberg’s scores came from converting several costly Cardinal fumbles.
KENT STATE SNATCHES VICTORY Despite the fact that Kent never penetrated within the Cardinal thirty yard marker, an Otterbein fumble behind her own goal was recovered by Kent and place-kicked for the extra point for their lone marker. After several futile drives, the Cardinal machine rushed over a touchdown in the last minutes, but failed to convert the extra point, losing a heart-breaker, 7 to 6.
OHIO NORTHERN BREEZES INTO OTTERBEIN Ohio Northern maintained its record of an uncrossed goal at the expense of the Cardinals, who were celebrating their Fall Homecoming. Meanwhile, the Polar Bears scored three touchdowns. Though beaten, the Cards still put up a stiff fight. The play throughout the whole game was hard and clean football, with the final score 23-0.
THE FATES WITH THE DENISONIANS The odds were great at Denison. Why shouldn’t they be? Denison had not lost a game and Otterbein had not won a single contest; enough to dishearten any ordinary team. In spite of this, the Cardinals put up a fight that would have done justice to any team. Denison managed to push over a touchdown in the closing minutes of the first half only after a tough battle. After wearing a lighter Otterbein team down to sheer exhaustion in the second half, the big Red pushed over twenty more points to total twenty-six.
ASHLAND IS TUMBLED Though the breaks go against a team, you can’t keep it down if there is any fight left. This was proved in Otterbein’s victory. On a short pass from Rutter, Ziegler outran the opposition to score the lone marker. Ashland got a safety in the fourth quarter and the game ended in favor of Otterbein, 6-2.
CAPITAL PROVES A STUMBLING BLOCK The traditional game closed the football career of five Otterbein seniors; Kelly, Livingstone, Schisler, Hohn, and Honorary Captain Holland. In the second quarter. Perry scored on a pass from Anderson. In the fourth quarter. Capital knotted the count. With only thirty minutes to play. Capital again scored on a long pass, winning 12-6.
THE AFTERMATH The team was feted at a banquet in King Hall as a finishing touch to the season. Dr. Edler praised the men for their fine spirit in the face of reverses, and then awarded the letters.

THE SEASON IN BRIEF As we look back over the 1935 basketball season vve can proudly say that Otterbeiii had a very successful season— a season we may well be proud of. To further substantiate this claim we must not forget that four of the first five men and, considering the whole squad, eight of the thir teen men were sophomores, Holland and Miller being the only senior members of the team. Individually these men represent some of the finest and most outstanding basket ball material in the history of the college. Although the team lacked much-needed experience in playing together, it established an enviable record of ten wins out of thirteen starts. Probably the high peaks of the season were reached in the Mount Union, Oberlin, and Ashland games. In these contests the fellows worked in perfect unison to turn in overwhelming victories. The Cards garnered a total of 498 points for an average of 38-3 points per game, while their opponents collected 414 points for an average of 31.8 points per game. The final standing in the Ohio Conference found the Card inals in fifth place with only .049 per cent standing be tween them and Baldwin Wallace, the loop leaders. A (|uirp of fate in the initial contest could have completely changed the outcome. To Dr. Edler is due much credit for whipping this smooth-working aggregation into shape.
BOWLING GREEN BOWLS CARDS Ottcrbein journeyed to Bowling Green to open the 1935 season. After taking an early lead the Cards’ offense be gan to waver when the Bee Gee’s staged a scoring spree. At the half. Bowling Green led 37-20. Otterbein came back strong but was unable to forge ahead. Inability to connect from the free throw line on 13 out of 18 attempts is largely responsible for the loss. Final score, 35-41.
MOUNT UNION MOUNTED A wounded animal is always considered the most dan gerous and so it was when the Cardinal (juintet ran wiki over Mount Union, at that time favored to take the con ference. The first half was rather slow and ended with the score standing 12-10 in favor of Otterbein. However, the Cards rose to supreme heights when they came back the second half, with a furious deluge of baskets that com pletely swamped the Mounts. Otterbein showed marked improvement in every phase of the game, and made 13 out of 15 free throws. The stellar playing of the whole team resulted in the final score, 43-24, in favor of Otterbein.
OBERLIN YEOMEN OVERWHELMED With the taste of victory still fresh on their lips, the Cards sailed into the Yeomen of Oberlin and after all the smoke had cleared they held a 26-point advantage over their foes. Again, as in the Mount Union game, the result

of perfect teamwork was very evident. Passing and shoot ing were of the highest calibre, and the classy guarding easily kept the Oberlin men out of scoring range. At the final gun the score stood 55-29 in favor of the Cards.
REBOUNDING
trailing six points, the Cardinals cut loose with a scoring spree which was not stopped until Martin made a bucket almostt simultaneously with the final gun, which ended the game, 40-37, in favor of Otterbein.
MARIETTA TUMBLES CARDS
WITTENBERG BELITTLED
In the first few minutes the Cards ran wild and scored ten points before Marietta could get under way. But this was not to last long, for the Otterbein offense stopped almost as suddenly as it had begun. At the half the Cards held a 5-point lead, the score being 15-10. The second half saw Marietta open a determined drive which, coupled to fact that Otterbein scored oidy one field goal in the whole period, resulted in victory. Although the Cards held a scant 2-point lead with only two minutes left, a final desperate spurt saw Marietta forge ahead to win, 29-25.
Otterbein journeyed to Springfield where Wittenberg played host to the Cards. The game was rather uneventful and disinteresting, being marked by numerous fouls and very poor pass work on the part of both teams. Otterbein grapped an early but small lead and maintained it the whole way. At the half the Cards were ahead, 18-13, and finished the fracas with the score standing 28-23.
ASHLAND TAKES LASHING One of the greatest comebacks of the season was wit nessed as Ashland was defeated by the slim margin of one point. A slow start and inability to connect with the basket saw Otterbein trailing, 13-21, at the half. Coming back strong the Cards soon overcame the lead and forged ahead to lead the remainder of the battle. In the last minutes, Ashland rallied, but the gun ended the game w'hile they were still one point behind. The stellar play of the quintet again resulted in sweet victory, 33-32.
OHIO NORTHERN IS CUFFED Northern’s Polar Bears ran into a cold reception at the Alumni Gym and were badly frost bitten. The Cards de cidedly had the upperhand throughout, although the Bears made a strong comeback in the second half. Otterbein, led by Hap Holland, jumped into an early lead, which wits maintained the whole game. At the half the Cards led, 27-11, and as the final gun ended the contest they were on top, 43-32.
CARDINALS DENT DENISON In a wild free-for-all battle in which fouls were con stantly being called, Otterbein ran rampant over the Big Red from Denison. The game was slow in starting, with Denison holding the lead, 2-3, at the end of the first five minutes. But the Cards put on steam and stepped out to lead, 20-9, at the half. Coming back the second half, the two teams matched bucket for bucket until the closing minutes when Otterbein cinched the victory with a deluge of baskets to win, 40-25.
CAPITAL CAPPED A battle royal was waged at Loy Gym, Bexley, as Capital’s fighting Lutherans played host to Otterbein. The Cards grabbed an early lead, but not for long. Capital soon uncorked a whirlwind offense to take the lead, 22-17, at the end of the half. The second half was little different from the first until, with about three minutes to go and
WOOSTER BOOTED The Cardinals took a new lease on life as they stacked up against the Wooster quintet in a fast, furious and high scoring battle. The two teams matched basket for basket, with Otterbein holding a slight edge, 20-15, at the half. In the last half the Cards put on a burst of speed and soon out-distanced the trailing Wooster five, winning by the score, 52-38. The sparkling play of Banks of Wooster, and Loucks and Rutter of Otterbein, who scored 20, 19, and 18 points respectively, should not go unmentioned.
CAPITAL RAPPED AGAIN Capital invaded Westerville with revenge in her heart, but the fates again smiled on Otterbein. d he Lutherans grabbed an early lead, which they held all the first half and part of the second. As in the former game, the out come was always in doubt and was not decided until the final gun cracked. At the half the score stood 15-13 in favor of Capital. The Cards then began to slowly over take the lead and in the final minutes forged ahead to win, 33-27. The stellar play of Sam Loucks, who collected 15 points, put the game on ice for the Cards.
DENISON AGAIN SUBDUED The Big Red played host to the Cards and put up a plenty tough battle, with the scoring honors evenly dis tributed. Otterbein maintained the lead throughout the game, the score at the half standing 20-14. The second half was much faster, with numerous fouls being called and the teams matching basket for basket. At the final gun Otterbein was on top, 36-29.
MUSKINGUM TRAMPLES CARDS With hopes for a Conference title depending on the out come of this battle, Otterbein tackled the Muskies. Fate looked the wrong way, and soon the Cards found them selves trailing the classy Muskingum five, 28-16, at the end of the first half. Otterbein took new life the second half and overcame the lead to tie at 28-28 before Mus kingum could score a single basket, but at this point the Cardinal offense faltered, allowing Muskingum to forge ahead and take the game, 48-35-

LETTERMEN DON MARTIN, a sophomore, won a regular berth on the 34-35 <|ulntet, playing at guard and forward. His dead eye from certain sectors of the floor was often responsible for pulling several games out of the fire. KEN HOLLAND, a senior and veteran for ward of the famous championship team of 32-33, formed the nucleus around which Doctor Edier built this year’s five. “Hap” has proven himself a really valuable man and will be sorely missed in the next season. His sophomore year he re ceived honorable mention and for the past two years has been named to a berth on the mythical All-Ohio five. GEORGE “SAM” LOUCKS, a sophomore, was another newcomer to the 34-35 squad. Sam stepped into the center berth and played like a veteran. At the pivot position he was an artist and developed into a really dangerous man. He received honorable mention for All-Ohio honors.
DR, R. K. EDLER has the distinction of being the only coach in the Ohio Conference who possesses an M.D. degree. “Deke” should be commended for the fine team he produced this year and we’re looking forward to even greater successes next season. RON LANE, a sophomore, also was experienc ing his first year of college basketball. As a guard he was seldom etpialled and proved to be a steady and dependable player whose main virtue was his ability to come through in the pinches. LOU RUTTER, a sophomore, completed the regular starting five. His spectacular play and clever pass-work attracted the attention of many of the sporting world. As a floor man, Lou was always master of the situation, consistently play ing a stellar game at forward and guard. He was selected for a berth on the All-Ohio team.

LETTERMEN SAM ZIEGLER, a junior, also was experienc ing his first season as a member of the varsity s<iuad. Sam rapidly developed into a first-class player who could he inserted into the line-up at any time. He possessed plenty of speed and on several occasions dropped in bucket that put the game on ice for the Cards. HAROLD CHEEK, a junior, was a veteran from the previous season. Occasionally he started at forward and tvas a man who coidd be depended upon whenever he was inserted into the lineup. He seemed to always be able to come through when the going was the toughest. DENTON ELLIOTT, a sophomore, was an other newcomer who always caused plenty of grief to the opponents whenever he entered the game. Denny’s ability to break up the enemy offense often was just what was needed to put the game on ice.
RON WILSON, a junior, proved himself a capable manager who could be deepnded upon to do his work and to do it right. VERLE MILLER, a senior, was also a veteran of the championship five. “Abie” was one of the men who possessed plenty of speed and the necessary punch to make him a valuable man to insert when the going was toughest. HOB PERRY, a sophomore, was another ca pable reserve who usually was inserted at a guard post and often broke up the opponents of fense to help cinch the battle for the Cards. Bob was a fast, hard driving player and should add plenty of strength to next year’s squad. FRANK HEITZ, a junior, made up the rest of the managing staff. Frank is a hard worker and is to be commended for his fine job.

CRACKS FROM THE BATS. 1934 The baseball squad did not enjoy what might be termed a successful season, winning only two and losing eleven contests. In spite of the win-loss record, the squad showed marked improvement over the previous season. All but three games were very close and often went into extra innings. Much credit is due Prof. Martin, who worked long and hard in an attempt to build a team from such limited material. The Cards met their masters in Ohio Wesleyan, who won out on the long end of a 12-2 count. Undaunted, Otterbein tackled Capital and showed much improvement. Both teams scored evenly and the game settled into a tie which was not broken until the eleventh inning, when, with two men out and bases full. Bob Evans nicked the batter and forced in Capital’s winning run, to make the score 7-6. Playing on the home field, Otterbein met Wittenberg in a heroic battle which ended 6-5 in favor of the Lutherans. In the ninth inning, Ray Schick attempted to stretch a triple into a homer to tie the count, but was tagged out at the plate. After a slugging match, in which the lead changed three times, Wilberforce emerged victorious, 10-11, as they scored three runs in the eighth, forging ahead one run and ending the game by holding the Cards scoreless in the ninth inning. Capital spoiled May Day by administering a 9-5 setback in a game marked with exciting rallies. Although Otterbein had fewer errors, they proved to be the costliest kind. The Cards first tasted victory at the expense of Denison, 6-5, in a real thriller. Tak ing an early lead, the Cards were forced to watch it dwindle to a tie, but emerged vic torious in the ninth as Booth scored on a long sacrifice fly by DeWeese. In celebration of Scholarship Day, Muskingum threw off the jinx and took the meas ure of the Cards, 22-20, in a free-for-all hard-hitting battle. It more rightly might have been called the comedy of errors—for they were equally as great as the runs. Wilberforce paid her respects by trouncing Otterbein, 14-2, in a whirlwind of hits coupled with numerous Cardinal errors. This set-back seemed to have done some good for the Tan and Cardinal team took Denison into camp, 9-7, but not until fourteen in nings had been played. Hinton relieved Bob Evans and had a perfect day on the mound in addition to driving out a homer. Triumph was short-lived as the Cards suffered defeat at the hand of James, ace Wittenburg hurler, who struck out thirteen Cards and allowed only three hits. The first four innings were a nightmare to Otterbein. Five errors and numerous tough breaks allowed the Lutherans eleven runs on twelve hits, but after the fourth inning, Hinton held them hitless and the Cards scored two runs themselves to end the game, 11-2. Evidently the shock of the Wittenberg game still prevailed, for Capital romped through the Cards to win, 14-4, in a loose and uninteresting game. The final curtain fell on the baseball stage as Capital again came through in a hard-fought game, winning, 5-3, after a tenth-inning rally. The pitching of Evans and Hinton is worthy of comment and had they had their much needed support, the season would very probably have ended more to our liking. Although graduation took its toll, there is a good nucleus of Juniors around which the 1935 team will be built. Bob Evans was elected honorary captain at the conclusion of the season.

TRACKS OF THE 1934 SPIKES Track season for the Otterbein cinder path stars consisted of only three inter collegiate meets in 1934. The first meet of the year was held at Granville with Denison University, April 28, where one of the best track teams in the state swamped the Otterbein squad, 100-31. The Denisonians broke two of their own college records in this meet. Two first places were all Otterbein was able to take; Schick won the 220-yard dash and Schott took first in the javelin throw. May Day was a winner for the tracksters, who beat their traditional rival. Cap ital, by a score of 76-55. Otterbein took eight firsts in this meet: VanSickle, mile run; Worsted, high hurdles; Whittington, pole vault; Schick, 220-yard dash; Schott, javelin and shot-put; Bradshaw, low hurdles; and Cook, two-mile run. Trego, Capital’s star, was high-point man of the meet, with 13 points, but he was closely trailed by Bradshaw of Otterbein, who garnered 12 points. Otterbein and Muskingum clashed for the final meet of the season on the Car dinal’s track. Muskingum took the lead and defeated the home team 97'/2'55V2Otterbein was able to take three firsts with Bradshaw winning the pole vault and low hurdles, while Schott took the javelin throw, setting a new college record of 177 feet, 7-6 inches. The former college record was 170 feet, 10 inches. May 26 was the date of a meet of the Bix Six of the Ohio Conference held at the Denison stadium in Granville. Paul Schott, who was the only entrant from Otterbein, took a second place in the javelin throw to gain four points. With this, the track season came to a close and, although it was not as successful as it might have been, all the meets were interesting and certainly worth-while. To George Bradshaw, a senior, goes the honor of being high-point man of the season. He is a versatile track man, entering in the high and low hurdles, pole vault, broad jump, high jump and relay. Paul Schott carried away the honors in the field events participating in the javelin throw, the discus and the shot-put. The other members of the squad and the events in which they took part are as follows: Ray Schick, 220 and 100 dash, and javelin-throw; Carl Worsted, high hurdles, high jump, broad jump, discus and shot-put; Henry Furniss, 440 and mile run; Richard Whittington, pole vault and 100-yard dash; Bob VanSickle, mile and half-mile runs; Ed Booth, 220 low hurdles and 440; Sam Ziegler, 100 and 220 dash and broad jump; Jack Cook, mile and twomile runs; and Ray Lilly, mile and two-mile runs. Bradshaw, Schott, Schick, Worsted, and Furniss will ad be lost to the team by graduation, but the others will be back to form a nucleus for the 1935 squad.

TENNIS, 1934 Otterbein s netters came through the 193+ season with a good record winning five matches out of the twelve. George Robinson, Chad liotts, and Dwight Barnes, all Senior lettermen, were back and formed the nucleus of the squad. Paul Schott, John Deever, and Dick Mitchell, newcomers to the tennis ranks, played in most of the matches and won their letters. The season opened at Oberlin, April 21, where one of the best aggregations of the state set Otterbein back, 9-0 The next match saw Bnnebrake at Westerville, bringing John Shively, first man on Otterbein’s 1933 squad, and the ladies’ champion of Dayton, Miss Virginia Hollinger, who beat Botts in straight sets, 6-1, 6-3. Otterbein dropped the match, 4-1. Old rivals clashed on the Capital courts. May i, when Otterbein smashed through with a score, 5-2. The next day a battle with Denison at Granville ended in a tie, 3-3. Doing its part to make a successful May Day, the tennis team whipped Wittenberg, 5-2. On May 7i handicapped by the rough courts at Ohio Wesleyan, Otterbein suffered a 5-1 defeat. A return match with Denison on our own courts was lost fi-i after tying them earlier in the season. Cedarville playing here May 12 offered very little competition and the Cardinal racqueteers swept through the match, 7-0. A second encounter with Ohio Wesleyan ended in a 6-1 defeat. Travelling to Springfield May 19, the Otterbein squad edged out a 4-3 victory over Wittenberg. Capital took another beating May 22 when Otterbein won from them, 6-1. The last match of the year was with Wooster, a strong team who came through over Otterbein, 7-0. Ray Pilkington, captain of the Cardinal team in '26 and '27 coached the 1934 squad. His tire less work was largely responsible for the success of the racquet wielders, George Robinson was elected as Honorary Captain at the conclusion of the season. Although four of the men were lost by graduation, things are looking up for the 1935 squad. Dick Mitchell and John Deever will form the nucleus around which will flock a number of promis ing Sophomores.

OTTERBEIN TO HAVE GOLF TEAM Otterbein will be represented in golf circles for the first time this spring. Although the team will not be eligible to play Ohio Conference matches, it will play invitational matches with teams in the conference. Attempts are being made to get Minerva Country Club as a practice course. It is hoped that this step shall be the first toward bringing a golf championship to Otterbein. Otterbein boasts a few talented golfers who have already made their debut in state tourna ments, and a few who have participated on high school golf teams. “Pete” Wolfe, “Butch” Schisler, “Bob” Tinnerman, “Bob” Ryder, “Bill” Anderson, and “Bill” Catalona are the prospects for Otterbein’s first golf team. “Pete” Wolfe and “Butch” Schisler, although not experienced golfers, have played the game and succeeded in mastering a few of its difficulties. Wolfe hails from New Philadelphia and was runner-up in the Sugar Creek Valley amateur open. Schisler has playd most of his golf in Portsmouth. “Bob” Titmerman and “Bob” Ryder are from Dayton. Tinnerman played on Roosevelt High School golf team and went undefeated in his interclub matches. “Bob” Ryder is a Fairview High School star. He played for three years and captained his team to a city championship in 1931. Ryder played on the Miami Valley Country Club, where the Western open was held a few years ago. Ryder shoots consistently in the 70’s. “Bill” Anderson and “Bill” Catalona are well known golfers from Akron. Anderson and Catalona are both perennial contenders for golf honors in Akron. Anderson played first man on Akron South High School team for three years and has met and defeated most of the promi nent golfers in the Akron district. He qualified to play in the state amateur at Springfield in 1932 and was semi-finalist in the All-Akron Amateur tourn.ament. In this tournament Anderson established a course record of 68 over the treacherous Municipal golf course. “Bill” Catalona played on Akron Garfield’s golf team for three years, and won the Akron District caddy title two consecutive years. Catalona played in the state amateur at Springfield in 1932, although he failed to qualify for the championship flight. Catalona also is a close contender for any competition in golf circles at Akron. Ryder, Anderson, and Catalona should form a real nucleus for a good te.im. If a fourth man is found, Otterbein should soon claim its first Ohio Conference Golf Championship.

FRESHMAN FOOTBALL The answer to Coach Louie Keck’s call for Freshman football material was almost on the order of a stampede. They came in all sizes, but more noticeable than size was that certain glint in the eye which more than speaks for itself, for only the true lover of football can have it. As usual the varsity team never takes the freshman squad very seriously and, this year s varsity being no exception, passed off their first appearance on the field with a casual laugh. The first few nights of scrimmage with the "cannon fodder” were taken in an easy, "don’t hit them hard” manner. After several nights of this, however, the varsity attack seemed to go stale and, play as they would, they could not seem to function. It took several nights to prove to the coaches that it was not the fault of the varsity but that the freshmen had something to do with it. There are several on the team whose performance each night against the varsity merits them some special mention. There is Pete Wolfe, whose fight and leadership made him an outstanding quarterback. McGee and Schiering of the linemen would delight any coach’s heart. Possessing weight and speed, they were outstanding in their ability to stop the varsity offense. The freshman team as a whole did a noble job and we are all with them. It takes a real man to take a beating night after night, and no reward, and still come up smiling. Revenge was sweet, however, when the freshmen beat the sophs in their annual game by the score of 6-0, and back of it all we must not forget their interested and capable coach, Louie Keck.

FRESHMAN BASKETBALL This year’s freshman basketball team, although not endowed with the much needed quality of height, had the three other characteristics so necessary in the court game speed, accuracy, and lots of fight. Under the tutelage of Lewis Keck they improved rapidly, and in the last months of the current season proved to be plenty tought competition for the varsity to scrimmage against. Among those who played all season we have found a few who are very promising as poten tial varsity men. “Pete” Wolfe is a fast, heady player with a dead eye for the bucket, two qualities that should cause any opponent plenty of worry. “Vinnie” Arnold, the fastest and cleverest man on the floor, probably was the best shot on the squad, always making buckets from almost any position. Others, who are the more rangy type and should have plenty of possibilities if given the proper chance, are John McGee, Bob Tinnerman. John Kundert, George Russell, and Kenneth Green. However, we must not forget the other men whose constant drive made the first squad keep on its toes and display lots of fight. In spite of the fact that there will be lettermen returning next year to fill every position on the varsity, these yearlings who will he coming up will he right in there scrapping for the honors. The frosh deserve a lot of credit, for they are the men behind the scenes who contribute so much toward the success of the varsity five. They serve their humble position with little or no recognition, and spend many weary hours at practice. But as the old adage goes. Every great thing has a small and humble beginning,” so we hope that this frosh squad is the begin ning of that which shall prove to be an even greater team than has ever before been produced.

INTRA-MU RALS
Intra-murals at Otterbein offer a fine opportunity for those who have not the time or the ability to compete on varsity teams. Intra-mural leagues are held in class soccer, league volley ball, Fraternity League basketball. Prune League basketball, and Fraternity softball. This year the sophomores won the soccer championship with a record of six straight victories. The juniors finished second. Russell Brown was captain of the successful sophomore team, and its personnel included Elliott, Belt, Bungard, Brown, Fields, Lohr, Lunsford, McLaughlin, Steck, Shoaf, Bedding, Bell, and Shumaker. The Jonda team captured the volley ball championship after a close and interesting season. Their record was eight victories against a single loss. The members of the winning team were: McLaughlin, Kundert, Ziegler, DeWeese, Bohn, Fritsche, and Tinnerman. The Annex cagers were champions of the Fraternity League with a record of seven victories and one loss. The members of the winning team were: Wolfarth, Baueter, Van Sickle, Freeman, Ross, McFeeley, Moody, Breden, and Parkinson. The Dubs won the Prune League season with a record of eight victories and no losses. The Zeta Phi Cubs finished in second place. The members of the Dubs team were: Lohr, Fisher, Lunsford, Ryder, and Wellbaum. Professor R. F. Martin and the student assistants are to be highly commended for the fine way in which they have supervised the intra-mural sports.

WOMEN'S INTRA-MURALS Women’s sports in Otterbein, as in other colleges today, are not taken ofif the campus except for an annual "Play Day” at a hostess school. However, with an excellent girls’ gym, first-rate equipment and the very best of Physical Education directors, our own Miss Garland, popular women’s sports do not suffer patronage. The finest sportsmanship, good technique and playing ability are found in both league and class teams of the ten or more sports. Soccer is the first sport of the year and almost any autumn day one can see the soccer enthusiasts out on the east football field. This year about sixty girls divided themselves into six teams and played a series of twelve games. Cageball went over "big” this year with thirty-five girls participating. Eight games were played and the Juniors won the majority of the games. Volley ball vies with basketball for popularity at Otterbein, with almost every girl taking part. Both league and class games are played. The juniors won the laurels in class games and "Pep” took most of the sixteen games in 1935. Otterbein’s co-eds tie with the fellows in enthusiasm for basketball every year and 1935 was no exception. This season produced some of the best players in years. Fifty girls played fifteen league games with "Capital” winning every game. The ten best players were chosen from each class and two rounds of these games were played.

The Women’s Athletic Association at Otterbein forms the stimulus that en courages athletic endeavor and enterprise among the college women. It really is a letterwoman’s club. The women are given quality points for participation in any and all sports. The requirements are very high and necessitate hard work if the awards are to be won. After once qualifying for membership in the as sociation there are three awards toward which to work, namely: Numerals, Varsity “O,” and Membership in Girls’ Leadership Corps.
