Campus Missions Week Frank Laubach to Speak
With Eric Frykenberg Friday Night in Fieldhouse
First Evening Convocation
in Faculty Planned Series
Bethel students will receive a
foreign mission emphasis during
Missions Week, Nov. 16-20. Fea-tured
as the main speaker will be
Dr. Eric Frykenberg, a veteran
missionary associated with the
Conservative Baptist foreign mis-sion
society.
Dr. Frykenberg, a graduate of
Bethel seminary, went to the mis-sion
field in India in the late
1920's, serving both in South India
and in Bombay. At present, he is
missionary-at-large for the Con-servative
Baptists, visiting all
their missionary fields. In this
capacity, he has recently completed
a trip around the world.
Missionaries from the Baptist
General conf e r e n c e mission
board are also featured on the
slate of speakers. These include
Miss Arlene Coleman, Rev. James
Luckman, and Miss Marjorie Malm
from Ethiopia; Rev. James Patter-son,
Japan, and Miss Grace Swan-son,
Assam.
Aspiring missionary candidates
will also make presentations to
Bethel students. Dr. Robert Sch-enck
and Rev. Ernest Kratofil,
both newly appointed by the for-eign
mission board, will speak;
and Rev. Peter Larson will also
be used in various capacities on
campus.
Several representatives of the
foreign mission board will be pre-sent
on campus during the week
and will be available for counsel-ing
with students. Serving in this
fashion will be Rev. John Wilcox,
present pastor of Bethlehem Bap-
WMF Hears
N. Hoyt
Norman Hoyt will speak to
World Missions fellowship on Nov.
10 at 7 p.m. in the seminary
chapel.
Mr. Hoyt, now serving with the
South Africa General mission, is
the principal of a school in Johan-nesburg,
South Africa. He will de-scribe
his work and the opportuni-ties
for service in educational mis-sions.
The WMF prayer bands will be-gin
their meetings this semester.
According to Bob Lenz, vice presi-dent,
these prayer bands have the
two-fold purpose of stimulating the
student body to pray for missions
and aiding the students in finding
God's will for their lives.
Mr. Lenz encourages all stu-dents
to participate in these meet-ings
which are held in specified
rooms in the college building, as
follows: Africa, 6:30-7 p.m. Thurs-day
in room 303; Far East, 6:30-7
p.m. Thursday in room 210; home
missions, 6:30-7 p.m. Thursday in
room 312; Near East, 7-7:30 p.m.
Monday in room 212; and South
America, 7-7:30 p.m. Monday in
room 303.
"Nik Dag Around the World"
will be Saturday, Nov. 14. Tra-ditionally,
Nikolenas Dag gives
campus women an opportunity to
treat their dates to dinner and
an evening of entertainment.
The program, a musical, will be
at 9 p.m. At the time of publica-tion
the place is not definite.
Various phases of Nik Dag acti-vity
will be portrayed through
scenes in Sweden, Hawaii, and
tist in Minneapolis and former
executive secretary; Rev. Franklin
Nelson, acting executive secre-tary;
professor Gordon Johnson,
seminary instructor and chairman
of the board; and Rev. Albert
Bergfalk, associate secretary of
the board.
Program plans call for Dr. Fry-kenberg
to speak each morning in
the chapel, which will be held in
the fieldhouse. Also part of the
morning chapels will be brief pre-sentations
by Conference mission-aries
when they will answer spe-cific
questions relevant to mission-ary
work, such as qualifications,
adjustments to the field, and edu-cational
preparation. During the
evening chapel services from 7-8,
Conference missionaries will pre-sent
the various fields through
messages and pictures. Some of
the personnel for the week will be
utilized by various instructors as
class lecturers.
Spearheading plans for the week
is the Spiritual Life committee,
composed of faculty members ap-pointed
by the president and head-ed
by Dr. Virgil Olson. Coopera-tion
is being given by the World
Mission fellowship which is in
charge of choosing a theme, set-ting
up displays, and encouraging
a missionary prayer program.
Japan. The musical will include
scenes from the Arctic, South Am-erica,
France, Belgian Congo, and
Russia.
A prize will be given for the
most original corsage. Each girl
is to make her date a corsage per-taining
to his interests or activi-ties.
According to John Carlson,
sophomore class president, the
"list" designating the fellows'
Dr. Frank C. Laubach will speak
at the first evening convocation,
Nov. 6, at 8 p.m. in the Bethel
fieldhouse.
For 30 years Dr. Laubach work-ed
with literacy programs on many
mission fields and began the "each
one teach one and win one" pro-gram.
Through this program of na-tives
teaching each other, Mr.
Laubach feels many have become
literate who otherwise would have
had no contact with him.
In his work he has reduced 275
languages to writing and his
method has taught over 60 million
people to read and write. He has
worked mainly in the Philippines,
Malaya, Singapore, Ceylon, Pales-tine,
Syria, Turkey, and India.
:.:7F•Xl,ppn;
status will be posted in Bodien
residence. Girls may begin to ask
fellows at 8 a.m. on Monday, Nov.

Nik Dag is sponsored by the
sophomore class. The committee
is comprised of the class officers:
John Carlson, Audrey Kitchell,
Curt Lund, and Patti Sink; and the
class social committee: Chester
Duck, Delrene Hanni, and Jennie
Lou Peterson.
Since his retirement, Dr. Lau-bach
has worked with the United
Nations through U.N.E.S.C.O.
Four other convocations have
been planned for this evening ser-ies.
Further dates for the convo-cations
are Dec. 4 with Daniel
Majeske, violinist; Jan. 5 with
Ethel Barrett, dramatist; March
9 with William Albright, oriental-ist;
and May 12 with Lawrence
Kulp, radiochemist.
Bethel students may obtain mem-bership
for the convocation series
by registering at the bursar's of-fice.
Membership for those not at-tending
Bethel is $3 and may be
obtained through the business of-fice.
Bethel college will be host to
the fall meeting of the Associa-tion
of Minnesota colleges on Nov.
7.
Attending the meeting from
Bethel will be President Carl Lund-quist
and Clifford Larson, dean of
the college.
The president of the association,
Dr. George Budd, who is president
of St. Cloud State college, will pre-side
at the meeting which will be
held from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sat-urday.
'Co-Rec' at
Midway 'Y'
A "co-rec" night at Midway
YMCA, 1761 University avenue,
will be sponsored by the athletic
council on Saturday, Nov. 7.
This evening the "Y" will be
reserved for Bethel students be-tween
7 and 11 p.m. There will be
swimming, bowling, ping-pong, TV,
a film, and games. Potato chips
and pop will also be available.
Admission is $1.50 per couple
and 85¢ per person. Dick Benert,
athletic council chairman, says that
the admission, which will be paid
at the door, covers everything ex-cept
the cost of bowling shoes.
The film, "Beaver Valley," will
be shown in the banquet room. The
movie, as well as some games will
be under the supervision of the
Recreational Leadership class.
Due to the limited capacity of
the pool, those attending will be
divided into three groups, with
each group using the pool for an
hour. The film will also be shown
three times.
According to Mr. Benert, a bus
will leave Bodien residence at 6:45
p.m., but those who have cars are
asked to drive.
Dr. Frank C. Laubach, the first
in a series of evening convocation
speakers at Bethel, has done ex-tensive
work in literacy programs
and now works with the United
Nations.
The program for the day will
consist mainly of reports from
various committees. The first two
reports will be on the Minnesota
statewide testing program and on
ACY, which is the American col-lege
testing program.
Reports will be given on the fall
college enrollment study and from
the high school-college relations
committee.
The final report will be by the
committee on study and research
regarding the superior student.

L Association of Colleges
Editorial:
Campus 'Golden Mean'
Last weekend the Bethel Student association
was represented at the fall assembly of the Min-nesota-
Dakotas region of the United States Na-tional
Student association, which was held at the
College of St. Teresa, Winona, Minn.
An outstanding part of the weekend was a ban-quet
at which the speaker was Dick Miller. Miller,
former student body president at the University
of Minnesota at Duluth and presently the admini-strative
assistant of the international affairs vice
president of the USNSA, spoke to the Bethel stu-dent
senate last Monday evening.
On both occasions Miller emphasized one pre-mise:
student government exists to further the
aspirations of its institution, and of course the
goal of any institution of higher learning is intell-ectual
stimulation and subsequent development.
This premise becomes a challenge when, as
Miller suggests, one realizes that student govern-ment
often fails in this capacity and concern them-selves
primarily with preparation for social events.
Of course, Miller was not leveling a criticism at
any particular student government but was only
pointing out certain dangers.
This challenge can be carried to an extreme,
and in so doing neglect the several aspects of stu-dent
life. Students are human beings. It is import-ant
to provide the student with activity in areas of
life that are not academic. But these things are
secondary and must take a back seat to the pur-pose
of college. Pardoning the cliche, we must all
say, "Well just why are we here anyway."
So, there must be a balance. Members of the
Bethel community should be provided with some-thing
in the social, athletic, religious, and cul-tural
areas, as well as being thoroughly exposed to
scholarship.
The Bethel administrative authorities, as well
as the student government, are obviously involved
in maintaining this balance, and have occasionally
realized some conflict in this area.
In the last few years an abundance of co-cur-ricular
activity existed, but there is evidence that
the academic area suffered. This year an attempt
was made by the administration to solve this prob-lem
by restricting co-curricular activity to cer-tain
nights. This has resulted in a lack of co-cur-ricular
activity.
So a problem exists. This problem will never
be perfectly solved. But student leaders should
keep in mind the ultimate goals of higher educa-tion
and administrators should, and for the most
part they do, realize the need for a balance.

Letters to the Editor;
Five - Count Them - Five
Theater St. Paul
Does Eliot Play
man's constant desire to be free,
and Mary fits into this theme . . ."
or some such.
But when you encounter a thea-trical
piece such as "The Cocktail
Party," you're stymied as to how
to simplify it for a person of
casual interest.
What author T. S. Eliot meant
is, well, anyone's guess.
You have a chance to match
wits with poet Eliot's controver-sial
drama at Theatre St. Paul,
where it opened Friday night. And
it's worth a look, because it is un-usual
and provocative.
Eliot is concerned here with such
subjects as sin, salvation, redemp-tion,
saints and martyrs.
If pressed to tell "what it's
about," I'd have to say that a my-sterious,
titled gentleman (a doc-tor
of some sort) in modern Lon-don
acts as a marriage counselor
to a middle-aged couple, bringing
them back together, and also per-suades
a beautiful, young, unat-tached
girl to give purpose to her
life by going to some foreign land
to undergo a horrible, martyr's
death.
Otto Theuer's modernistic set-tings
were standouts, completely
done in blacks, white and greys,
which was also, basically, the note
for the costuming.
"The Cocktail Party" continues
Friday through Sunday at 8:30
p.m. at Theatre St. Paul's play-house,
675 Holly, for the next
two weekends.
Homecoming
Dear Editor,
Homecoming weekend merits, in
my opinion, special commendation
for a well-planned and well-execut-ed
weekend of activities. I feel
that special attention should be
given to the fine sequence and
balance of programs beginning
with Friday's homecoming chapel
hour on through to the campus
worship hour on Sunday.
May I mention a few which made
a definite contribution to what I
have termed as a fine and bal-anced
program. One must not over-look
the well-performed corona-tion
and variety program on Fri-day.
Then there was the coffee
shop hour on Saturday, the inter-est
classes arranged for visiting
parents and alumni, and the well-executed
parade and half-time ac-tivities
with its special feature
which honored two of our Califor-nian
parents.
Much deserved credit should go
to our homecoming committee for
the combined recognition of both
our alumni and our parents which
in my estimation made this home-coming
very worthwhile.
Sincerely,
Roger Erickson,
college senior
Dear Editor,
I would like to commend the
homecoming committee for pre-senting
a very well performed var-iety
show during the activities of
homecoming weeked. One could see
that several students had sacri-ficed
considerable time to practice
for their performances, and for
this they must be applauded.
However, the question arises as
to whether or not this is the type
of program Bethel should be spon-soring,
when many felt the hymn
was even out of place. Should this
be the case, that even the things
of Christ seemed not to belong ?
Or should it be necessary to have
to apologize to a friend or rela-tive,
when they expect Bethel to
be something quite different?
Let us look for a moment at
the purpose behind Bethel and her
activities. Why has Bethel con-tinued
to grow ? Why has Bethel
gained a respectable position, even
in her own locality ? And why has
Bethel received accreditation as a
Christian college of higher edu-cation
? I'm sure you would agree
that it is because of her Christian
emphasis and because of her re-liance
upon God to direct in carry-ing
out her program.
Therefore, the motives behind
activities designed by Bethel
should be so that the work of the
Lord is enhanced through it. We
should be a distinct people and
recognized because we are not of
the world, but of Christ. In all of
our plans and activities without
exception we should seek to up-hold
the kingdom of God first.
Perhaps we need to re-examine our
plans and our programs to see
that the ultimate intentions are
right.
I hope that we as fellow-labor-ers
in Christ at Bethel will never
lose sight of His face or lose hold
of His hand to direct all our ways.
"For David speaketh concerning
him, 'I foresaw the Lord always
before my face, for He is on my
right hand, that I should not be
moved.' " Acts 2:25
Russ Paulson
Dear Editor:
I would like to give credit to a
member of the campus community
who made a great contribution to
the success of the Homecoming
weekend (especially the Friday
night variety show and the Satur-day
evening banquet), and who to
this moment has remained in an-onymity.
This member is Bob
Friederichsen, who was responsible
for the designing and painting
of the magnificent backdrop, and
for the "World Fair effect" given
by the erection of the geodesic
dome.
I have heard many comments re-garding
the beauty of his produc-tion,
and feel that Bob should be
publicly recognized.
Sincerely,

Sporting
Dear Editor:
I was one of the more than 200
fellows who attended the early
morning "Sportsman's Breakfast"
on Oct. 25. The decorations, which
were the first thing that caught
the eye, and which I thought were
very well planned, gave the im-pression
that here we were on the
edge of a great swamp. (Milk,
spilled on the lap, gave that extra
touch of watery realism.)
The food was most enjoyable
in itself; doubly so when served
by members of the faculty and
administration. Mr. Virgil Olson's
administration. Dr. Virgil Olson's
short devotional at the end fit
I understand that the basic idea
which found its final expression
in this breakfast came from Jim
Counihan in a dorm council meet-ing
last year, the purpose being
to promote closer dorm unity. I
have no doubt that this was ac-complished.
But more than this,
the breakfast also fostered a clo-ser
relations of students with both
faculty and administration. Since
the breakfast was not the work of
either a senate council or a cam-pus
organization, the student-fac-ulty
- administration co - operation
was warming.

Devotional: The Heart of Missions is Always People
by Dr. Robert Mounce
from a sermon by
Dr. C. B. Akenson
From the time of the Lord Jesus
and His apostles right down to the
bustling mid-twentieth century the
great cry of humanity has been,
"No man careth for my soul."
True; there have been dramatic
changes since that first day. Hos-pitals,
radios, schools, and planes
have burst upon the scene. Yet
these changes in a very real sense
are only superficial. Missions al-ways
has and always will be "peo-ple."
The heart of Christ goes
out to human hearts. It is this
personal aspect of missions that
we dare not loose in the maze of
space age mechanical aids.
In the tenth chapter of Acts,
Peter is explaining to Cornelius
why he is willing to receive him
although an outsider. In a vision
God had shown him that he should
call no man common or unclean
(vs. 28). From the context we can
learn at least three things about
the personal quality of missions:
(1) In the Christian mission en-terprise
there can be no race or
religious superiority. Christianity
was Hebrew in origin but to sur-vive
at all it must throw itself
open to men of all races and de-grees
of cultural attainment. Peter
spent the night in the house of
Simon the tanner. Have you ever
smelled the hide of a pig when it
is being cured ?
(2) Peter learned the important
lesson that the race is redeemed,
but not saved (see also I John
2:2). Christ died once, and that
for all men. There will be no repi-tion
of Calvary. The world is re-deemed,
but until they accept the
provision, they continue as lost.
(3) The Holy Spirit has the sov-ereign
privilege of interfering with
the best laid plans of any evan-gelist.
Peter had hardly got into
what would undoubtedly have been
a fine "three-pointer" when God
broke in and "the Holy Spirit fell
on all who heard the word."
Missions is not the well-execut-ed
program, the finely executed
sermon, the carefully planned cam-paign.
Missions is people. People
caught up in the soul-shattering
experience of a Divine confronta-tion.
Missions is when people of
all races and levels of society are,
under the impact of the Spirit of
God, yielding to the Lordship of
Jesus Christ. The heart of mis-sions
is people.

A Satisfied Sportsman
Fieldhouse
Dear Editor,
The problem between the ad-ministration
and student senate in
regard to payment for fieldhouse
facilities—a problem that was pre-sented
in the last CLARION—is
of paramount importance. And
while there are always two sides
to any question (and no doubt
the administration has its "jus-tifiable"
reasons) nevertheless the
administrative decision to access
these expenses to the student or-ganizations
(and ultimately to the
students themselves) is both un-fair
and ill advised.
Needless to say, the school
should provide these facilities for
the few times each school year
when they are necessary for stu-dent
programs and activities. In
the past, no such fees have ever
been assessed. There are no com-plaints
of cost when the same fac-ilities
are used for Founder's Week,
the Festival of Christmas, and the
other programs sponsored by the
administration.
Even under past policies, stu-dents
have been required, after a
Carlos Montoya, Flamenco gui-tarist,
will present a recital in
Northrup auditorium at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota on Monday,
Nov. 9, at 8:30 p.m. This appear-ance
will be the opening concert
on the University Artists course—
Celebrity series.
A native of Madrid, Montoya
followed in the footsteps of an
uncle who was one of the most
popular Flamenco guitarists of
Spain. Unlike the classic guitar,
the art of the Flamenco guitarist
is deeply rooted in the culture of
the Spanish gypsy.

Lewis S. Barrett, instructor in
English and journalism came to
Bethel from the University of
Redlands in Redlands, Cal.
At Bethel, Mr. Barrett teaches
American Literature, Journalism,
and Freshman Composition and is
working with the public relations
department.
Born near Jacksonville, Fla., Mr.
Barrett later moved to Las Vegas,
Nev., where his father helped build
the Boulder Dam. Living in Nev-ada
for twelve years, he attended
the University of Nevada for two
years where he studied journalism.
He began his neewspaper career on
the Nevada State Journal at Reno.
During World War II, Mr. Bar-rett
spent three years in the Air
Force as a pilot and public rela-tions
officer. In 1945 and '46 he
was in Japan, China, Formosa,
and Korea.
While in Japan he learned to
make Sukiyaki. It has been his
ambition for 14 years to find the

and took three ex-tra
and went to our seat.
Then we found out why they
were stacked. The salad was to-mato
jello .. . no kidding, tomato
jello. So we took the stolen salads
back, along with our own, and
went back to our seat.
A couple of minutes later the
lady who talks through the public
address system told us that Gay-lord
Hauser was wanted on the
telephone. We laughed.
And then the girls who serve
came out with trays to retrieve
the salads. We gasped . . . col-lectively
. . . fearing that the
salad would be converted to to-mato
juice for breakfast. We were
relieved to see them take the
salads to the discard window.
We finished our meal and hur-ried
to the CLARION office ask-ing
everyone we saw if they knew
the date of the Boston Tea party.
The career of Montoya has led
from small cafes in Spain to con-cert
halls of Paris, London, Brus-sels,
New York, the Far East,
and South America. Today he is
known through television and radio
appearances, and recordings.
Tickets for the recital by Carlos
Montoya are available now at the
University Artists course ticket
office, 105 Northrop auditorium,
the downtown ticket office in Min-neapolis,
and at Field-Schlicks in

it properly.
Receiving both a B.A. and an
M.A. in literature at the Univer-sity
of Redlands, Mr. Barrett is
completing his doctorate in jour-nalism
and communications at the
University of Minnesota. He is
writing his thesis on the treat-ment
of religion and religious sym-bolism
in Mark Twain's "Adven-tures
of Huckleberry Finn" and
"Tom Sawyer."
Speaking of his field, journalism,
he says, "I feel that the college
student in every area should have
an adequate knowledge of jour-nalism.
This medium of communi-cation
is vital to all areas. I be-lieve
that newspapers are the best
medium of communication."
Mr. Barrett enjoys journalism,
which is his main interest; how-ever,
not his only one. A tenor
soloist, he directs the Sunday even-ing
song service at Calvary Bap-tist
church. He also finds time to
pursue his hobby of photography,
an area in which he feels every
newspaperman ought to be ac-quainted.

is 14 years old and Karen, age 11.

general purposes of the club:
1. To bring young people into
the Republican party and to pro-vide
an opportunity for them to
find political expression and rec-ognition.
2. To train young people as ef-fective
political workers and co-operate
in the election of the
Republican party's nominees.
3. To foster and encourage the
activities of the Republican party
and to promote its ideals.
4. To collect, analyze, discuss and
disseminate information concern-ing

student-sponsored event, to "clean
up and sweep out" the fieldhouse-janitorial
duties that should be
provided by the school. And now
the administration wants to assess
fees for things it should indepen-dently
provide.
It is also necessary to consider
that the students give aid and as-sistance
to the administration
without any assessment of fees.
The administration is not charged
for the use of the senate's spot-light
at the Festival of Christmas;
it is not billed for the student
labor that goes into the major
part of planning and presenting
Prospective Student Days; nor is
the administration assessed fees
for student assistance in putting
up the portable stage, panels, etc.
in the fieldhouse.
To carry out this new admini-strative
policy is to discourage
student use of the Bethel field-house
and to encourage off-cam-pus
activities. The senate has tak-en
the right step in opposing such
a policy.

With the opening basketball game just a few weeks away
coach Gerald Healy has been working his team hard to get them in
shape. Here coach Healy is tutoring some of his players in a few of
the many details of playing basketball. The team this year lacks height,
according to Mr. Healy, and they will have to play a fast 'hurry-up'
type of basketball. The first game of the season is against Sioux Falls
on Nov. 21 in the fieldhouse.

Under Way
The intramural games have be-gun
wtih volleyball leading the
way. For the past two weeks male
students have been turning out in
large numbers every Monday night
to play volleyball.
The Counts and the Barons have
stepped out into an early lead by
not allowing themselves to be
beaten the first two games. Four
teams follow close behind with
records of one win and one defeat.
They are the Pages, Peasants,
Dukes, and Jesters. Getting off to
a slow start are the Knights, and
the Squires who have not been able
to enter the win column. The sea-son
is just getting under way,
however, so who knows what the
future holds ?

The 1959 basketball season will
begin on Nov. 21 when Bethel
college takes on Sioux Falls in a
Saturday night tilt at the field-house.
The Bethel Royals, who ended
the season last year with a 15-7
record, are rebuilding their team
this year around seven returning
lettermen. Truman Turnquist, last
year's most valuable player and
this year's captain of the Royals'
team, looks like a strong asset to
the Bethel team. Coach Gerald
Healy is looking to these returning
ball players to give his team
strength and depth. Fourteen new
cagers have turned out this year
for practice and Coach Healy is
expecting big things from these
new men.

Bethel Edges
Milton in
Homecoming
by Don Delich
The Bethel Royals snapped a six
game losing streak by coming
from behind for a 7-6 victory over
Milton college Saturday, Oct. 24,
in a rousing homecoming battle
at Hamline stadium.
The turning point of a frustrat-ing
6-0 game came early in the
fourth quarter when end Dave
Hagfeldt pounced on a loose foot-ball
on the Milton 1-yard line. On
the next play from scrimmage,
quarterback Les Borms snuck over
for a touchdown and the score
was tied. Then, with only ten
Royal players on the field, captain
Paul Evan split the uprights on
the conversion try for what proved
to be the winning point.
The two teams scrapped hard,
but neither could muster a sus-tained
touchdown drive during the
first half as the defensive units
dominated play. The third quarter
began just as the first quarter
had, in a scoreless tie.
Early in the third period, Milton
was given a real break as Bethel
fumbled and the Wildcats recov-ered
on the Bethel 25-yard line.
After being held to no gain for
three plays, quarterback Cashore
uncorked a perfect pass to his end,
Kruel, for six points.
But this was all for the Wild-cats.
Strong Royal defensive play,
headed by the game's outstandiing
player, Al Littler, kept Milton deep
in their own territory. Then, on a
fourth down situation midway in
the third period, Milton's center
passed over the head of the Wild-cat
punter and Hagfeldt recovered
the pigskin for Bethel on the 1-
yard stripe. Borms bulled over
for the tying score and Evan came
through with the clincher.
The Royal defense was equal to
their task, and again contained
Milton's hefty backs. The game
ended with Bethel in scoring posi-tion
on the Milton 3-yard line.
Helpful Season Says
Coach and Players
The football season has come to an end, and the equipment has
been stored away for another year. So ends a sad story with Bethel
compiling a 1-7 record.
A behind-the-scene-story, however, reveals that this has been a
very prosperous season for the players and the coach. When asked the
question, "What value did this football season hold for you ?" the fol-lowing
answered:
Bethel ended the 1959 football
season on Wednesday, Oct. 28 by
being set back by Valley City 14
to 6 at Hamline field.
The first quarter of the game
was played on even terms with
each team equally handling the ball.
Bill Holzworth moved the ball for
several long gains for Bethel. In
the second quarter Valley City
ignited a drive which led them to
the first score of the game. The
extra point sailed through the up-rights
and Valley City led 7-0.
With time running out in the first
half, Ken Baird grabbed a pass
and carried to the three yard line.
Two plays later Paul Evan plung-ed
over for the score. The extra
point, an attempted kick, was
blocked and the score stood with
Bethel trailing 7-6.
In the second half Valley City
set off on another sustained drive
which covered 74 yards and ended
in another score. The extra point
was good and the final score had
Bill Holzworth, freshman back: "We had a real good team this year,
but we couldn't win because we had too many injuries. This team had
a great effect on me, because they didn't quit."
Paul Evan, who was out most of the season because of an injury, had
this to say: "In many of our games we were outweighed 30 to 40 pounds
per man, but in spite of this we never were beaten badly. The team this
year never lost spirit and even up to the last game played good hard
football."
Al Littler, named the outstanding player in the Homecoming game:
"I think we learned a lot through experience, and we should be a better
ball club next year because of it."
Phil Peterson, who broke his leg early in the season, had this to
say: "I do not believe that you can tell everything by looking at the
scores. The amount of time that I played ball this year was very worth-while
to me even if I did break my leg. The breaking of a leg in foot-ball
is just an occupational risk. I do not hold any grudge against the
game and think I will go out another year."
This football season was not a complete loss, but many gained much
experience from it. We congratulate the team for its fine spirit and
say, "There's always next year."
Let's Talk Basketball
Basketball fever is in the air. It won't be long now until the field-house
will be rocked with cheers as the Bethel basketball team takes to
the court.
This year's team will be built around the seven returning lettermen,
D. Larson, L. Borms, D. Nelson, W. Kindall, J. Peterson, B. Lindaman,
and last year's most valuable player and this year's captain, T. Turn-quist.
In talking to Coach Healy we have been finding out a lot of inter-esting
facts about this year's team. We lack height, and because of this
we will have to play a very fast game. The team will have to move the
ball fast and attempt to make all of their shots behind the protection of
a screen from another player. In order to play this type of basketball
the team must be in very good physical condition, and Mr. Healy has
been stressing this. Twenty men turned out for basketball this year
which means the team should have a strong reserve strength.
A new member has been added to our coaching staff this year.
Bud Pierce, who played for Bethel in 1948, will be the assistant coach.
He will be helping Healy out in many ways and he will also coach the
freshmen team. Bud is a social worker in North Minneapolis; and, in
the words of Mr. Healy, is a real fine young man. The freshman team
under Bud's direction this year will play about 14 games throughout
the season.
