Formally garbed Bethel scholars will wend their way across campus
on Friday, Sept. 29, for the opening honors convocation of the year.
"Reflections in Greatness"
Is '61 Homecoming Theme
the CLARION Volume XXXVIII—No. 2 Bethel College and Seminary, St. Paul, Minn. Thursday, September 21, 1961
At its meeting on March 27,
1961, the student senate adopted a
recommendation that a proposed
plan of student goevrnment be
drawn up which would establish a
college student government and a
seminary student government.
In the light of the long range
plans of the school which call for
a greater physical separation be-tween
the college and the semin-ary,
the senate feels that separ-ate
college and seminary student
governments would be the most
effective way to meet the diver-gent
needs and interests of the
two student bodies.
In addition, the constitutional
revision was necessitated by in-consistencies
and inadequacies in
the present constitution, and a
need both for more effective rep-resentation
and for better develop-ment
of leadership potential.
The authorized committee com-pleted
its work this summer and
has submitted to the senate a
document embodying the follow-ing
changes:
The total membership was in-creased
through the addition of
one representative from each col-lege
class in addition to the class
presidents, and the election of one
member-at-large for each two hun-dred
association members or frac-tion
thereof.
A new cabinet post, the second
vice-president, was created. He
will lead the proposed student life
council, to be composed of the
chairmen of the standing commit-tees.
This council will organize and
coordinate the co-curricular pro-gram
of the student association.
Another addition is the academic
standing committee which will
plan and promote presentations of
an academic nature both on and
off campus. Also included in the
proposed constitution is a revised
section on election qualifications
and procedures.
The senate will be considering
this constitution during the next
few weeks and will be submitting
its proposals to the student body.

Johnson Speak

Editorial:
Student Journalism --
Its Role at Bethel
Roles of a college newspaper—inherent, assumed, unsurped, im-plied,
conflicting—are of basic concern in determining the value of a
news organ to its constituency. The responsibility for the definition
and balance of these roles must be assumed by the editor.
However, the above statement must almost be relegated to the
realm of pure theory since in actual practice there are many other
forces which are attempting to determine editorial policy. Many ques-tions
are often raised. Must student organizations, faculty and admini-stration
be extempted from editorial criticism? Are student journalists
capable of adequately defining their own spheres of influence? Often,
no answers are forthcoming and the debate rages on between students
who feel that their intrinsic freedoms are being abridged and leaders
of faculty and administration who feel that they may be unfairly
judged by students who are merely "looking for an issue."
Since the CLARION is issued only bi-weekly, much of its actual
news-paper function is dissipated. Its most important functions on
Bethel's campus then lie in the areas of stimulation, reflection, and
interchange student opinion. A provocative editorial tendency is meri-torious
in that it forces students to respond to written statements and
brings them to awareness, thus drawing them away from the passive
stand they usually assume.
The character-building and experience in responsible criticism that
results from allowing students to participate in written conflict may
negate the bewilderment and malignancy that could arise when answers
and solutions to issues and questions are demanded. The positive value
of such permissiveness should be all the more apparent in a Christian
context. It is important that unity does not come to mean unanimity.
The aim of the editorials that will appear in this column is not
necessarily objectivity in the editorial itself. An editorial is an ex-pression
of opinion, either the personal views of the editor or the
combined ideas of the editorial staff. However, objectivity is still pre-sent
in that the editors are willing to print alternative views as they
may be offered in letters to the editor. Letters may be presented on
any topic but must meet certain standards such as brevity (maximum
300 words) and appropriate choice of language. Realizing that an
important facet of gaining maturity is responsibility for defending
personal opinions, names will be withheld from printed letters only in
extreme circumstances and names must appear on every letter given
to the editor.
Letters to the Editor:
School Spirit Sought;
Welcoming Staff Praised
Dear Editor:
Pardon me if I sound repeti-tious,
but its that littlest spirit
of all again—and I can't find him
anyplace.
I looked for him at the pep fest,
but if he was there the trombones
and trumpets were hogging him
completely, and he seemed con-tent
with hiding in their midst.
And the ones who held the horns
didn't even seem to know he was
around.
This little fellow surely likes to
hide from college students. Not
because he doesn't like them but
because they don't like him. They
seem too sophisticated and ma-ture
to get excited over and in-volved
in a ball game. Even the
cheerleaders can't find him in
their slowly-moving pep yells.
Would everyone look for him?
He just wants to feel needed and
wanted.
Joy Malmquist
Dear Editor,
I would like to express my ap-preciation
to the many people who
contributed their time and talents
to the 1961 Welcome Week. Cer-tainly
the success of this week
of activities does not rest with
one person, but rather with all
those who shared in this respon-sibility;
therefore these people
deserve special recognition.
A special thanks must go to
Marilyn Benson who served as

Liberal Protestantism, in its obsession with
the idea of love, has given it a highly emotional
and often humanistic connotation. Love for man-kind
thus comes to exist both for and in itself.
Because of this dilution and perversion of the con-cept,
evangelicalism has tended to react not only
against liberalism, but also subconsciously against
the scriptural love-emphasis. But what does the
New Testament mean by love and how important
is the concept?
Since Christ Himself does not directly define
love, we must turn to Paul's magnificant expo-sition
of the term. In the language of J. B. Phillips,
love "is slow to lose patience—it looks for a way
of being constructive . . . is not possessive . . . is
not anxious to impress . . . does not cherish in-flated
ideas of its own importance . . . has good
manners . . . does not pursue selfish advantage .. .
is not touchy . . . does not keep account of evil or
gloat over the wickedness of other people." ( I Cor.
13:4-6) Obviously, such love does not arise out of
emotion at all, but out of a will consecrated in
and to the Will of God.
Christ is probably the chief Biblical figure
quoted by modernists. But His idea of love was

secretary-co-ordinator during the
summer months, and who along
with Lois Westerberg worked on
the many last minute details.
The Welcome Week staff de-serves
a special word of praise for
their cooperation throughout the
week, but more particularly for
their contribution as counsellors
at the Welcome Retreat. Margo
Bennett on the Welcome Banquet,
Marilyn Benson and Carole Lund-quist
on the All-School Welcome,
and Shirley Stearns on the cul-tural
concert, all deserve recogni-tion
for the specific responsibility
they shared.
I personally thank Dr. Lund-quist,
Dean Larson, Dean Muck,
and Dr. Finlay for their special
contribution as speakers at the
retreat.
There are many other students,
faculty, and administrative mem-bers
whose names have been om-mitted,
yet to all who participated
I give my thanks and apprecia-tion.

As Non-Emotional, Necessary
Is Berlin Worth
Nuclear War?
by Walfred H. Peterson
There are many forceful reasons
for not thinking that the Berlin
crisis will lead to nuclear war.
However, all of them suppose that
men act rationally. Is this suppo-sition
true ?
The nature of nuclear war
should deter men from its use. In
it, the total death and destruction
would be so appalling that it cal.-
not be compared to the wars of
the past. The short warning time,
the concussion power, the quick-traveling,
intense heat and the
radio-activity would combine to
kill tens of millions, destroy al-most
all property in large centers,
pollutet food and practically all
water supplies (even from deep
wells), ineffectuate medical-aid
measures, and wipe out existing
communication and supply net-works.
The nature of the post nuclear
world should also act as a deter-rent.
Law and order might well
break down in the animal-like
fight for survival that would come
in many areas. Starvation and
disease would be the lot of many.
To cope with these things it might
well be guessed that a military
dictatorship or regional dictator-ships
would necessarily arise —
apply -- life would be poor, nasty,
brutish, and short.
The nature of international re-lations
after such a war should

somewhat more than humanitarianism. To Him,
love for God and for other people was that upon
which the whole law of God depended. (Matt. 22:
37-40) It was the Ultimate Righteousness, a moral
perfection, we might add, which, because it is
utterly unachievable by means of human resources,
was made possible only through Christ's justifying
death and resurrection.
The writer John also speaks emphatically of
the necessity of love. He questions the reality of
our Christian experience if we are not loving, i.e.
"He who says he is in the light and hates his bro-ther
is in darkness still." (I John 2:9 RSV) "He
who does not love remains in death." (3:14) "He
who does not love does not know God, for God is
love." (4:8) Every Christian should examine him-self
in the light of these rather pointed sentences,
though such light may prove garish in its moral
brilliance.
Evangelical Christians should not shy away
from this vital Christian idea and thus leave them-selves
open to the accusation of being un-loving.
Rather, they should re-appropriate in its true
meaning the Christian love which only God can
give—and which Christ demands of them and which
the Scriptures make a necessity for a real life in
Christ.

Carole Lundquist glances unsociably at academically-minded Marilyn
Benson, as athletically-inclined Dick Larson endeavors to seat her at
the weekly dress-up dinner. Shirley Stearns looks on with cultural dis-dain,
while Lee Eliason was not present for religious reasons.
Serving on the student senate,
the governing body of the Bethel
student association, are four coun-cil
chairmen. The council chair-men
and their committees serve
as co-ordinators for campus acti-vities.
Heading the religious council is
senior Lee Eliason. Lee, a history
major, will also be taking courses
in the seminary this year. Past
responsibilities for Lee have in-cluded
1960-61 student senate
treasurer and two years as dorm
counsellor. As religious council
chairman, Lee and a committee
of seven are in charge of Bible
studies, prayer meetings, and
Christian service organizations.
Representatives from the council
serve on the chapel committee.
Religious council members will
also be assisting with Deeper Life
Week and Missions Week.
Shirley Stearns. Shirley is a mu-sic
major from Northfield, Minn.
Presently serving as dorm coun-sellor,
Shirley served as chairman
of the homecoming banquet last
year and also as a piano extension
teacher. The cultural council hopes
to expose Bethel students to the
segment of the cultural world
which exists in the twin city area
—art exhibits, musical and other
fine arts programs. The next pro-gram
to be sponsored by the cul-tural
council will be soprano Jose-phine
Bussalachi, Friday, Sept. 22.
Miss Bussalachi has appeared on
the Ed Sullivan television show
and has appeared locally with the
Minneapolis Symphony Orchestra
and the St. Paul Civic Opera. The
concert will be held at 8 p.m. in
the field house.
Future programs sponsored by
the cultural council will include
the Sewell String Quartet, the
University of Minnesota band, the
St. Cloud College choir, the Uni-versity's
opera workshop and
others. Fine Arts emphasis, to be
held in April, will provide two
weekends of meaningful listening
and observing in art, music, litera-ture
and drama.
Acting as chairman for the
newly-formed academic council is
senior Marilyn Benson. Marilyn is
an English major from Worthing-ton,
Minnesota, and served as re-cording
secretary of student sen-ate
last year. This council is sub-ject
to approval of the proposed
Bethel college student association
constitution. The proposed duties
of the academic council include
promotion of both on and off cam-pus
educational opportunities.
Dick Larson, senior from Fergus
Falls, Minnesota is athletic coun-cil
chairman. Dick, a sociology
major, has played basketball for
the Bethel Royals for three years
and is presently captain of the
tennis team. Dick heads a com-mittee
of six as athletic chair-man.
Responsibilities for the ath-letic
council include the campus
intramural program (which is be-ing
completely revised this year),
co-ordinating co-recreational acti-vities,
and advertising for athletic
events. The athletic council also
supervises the election of cheer-leaders.
Sophomore Carole Lundquist
from St. Paul heads the social
council. As a freshman, Carole was
a delegate to the convention of
the American Association of Ev-angelical
Students in Springfield,
Missouri. The social council is in
charge of Sno Daze, the all-school
banquet and the spring social. Also
included in their responsibilities
are the dress-up nights once a

hours and luncheons are co-ordinated
with the other council
chairmen.

The coffee house, although or-iginating
in Europe in the last
part of the sixteenth century, is
relatively new in this part of the
country. A coffee house is a ra-ther
unusual type of establish-ment;
unlike most modern Ameri-can
cafes, it's not a place where
you "eat and run," it's a place to
relax and enjoy a little classical
music, a reading or even a short
skit.
An example of this is the Dud-ley
Riggs Caffe Expresso, the
only place in the Twin Cities that
comes close to the atmosphere of
the European coffee house. If you
are looking for "Beatniks" (what-ever
they are), you will not find
them there—coffee houses are toe
expensive! Coffee ranges from 25
to 65 cents a cup, but surprising-ly
enough — it's worth it. They
have, without a doubt, the best
and most unusual coffees in town,
ranging from rich, strong, black
Expresso to a host of delicate and
tastefully spiced exotic blends.
There is, of course, a wide selec-tion
of delicious pastries also.
Their "coffee pot" is a $12,000
imported expresso machine that
makes the brew by forcing live
steam through specially prepared
grounds. The "pot" also has the
interesting characteristic of sound-ing
as though it's about to go into
orbit.
The atmosphere here is height-ened
by a background of classical
music, dim lights and ornate old
paintings. The general feeling is
that of casual intellectualism.
Conversation is the chief activity,
enhanced by the soothing music
and good coffee. Here you will
see people dressed in everything
from blue jeans to expensive suits.
At 8:30 and 11:00 on Wednes-day
nights, the Brave New Work-shop
puts on a satirical skit. These
skits are a delightful spoof of
such grand American institutions
as "Dear Abbey" and the Miss
America pageant. They're always
introduced by Dudley himself. who
is also capable when it comes to
free-wheeling satire.
The Caffe Expresso is certainly
an experience in good food and
fine atmosphere.

freshmen to college life and provide opportunity to get acquainted, began Sept. 8 with an all-school
sing.
Highlighting the week's activities was a retreat at Big Trout Lake for freshmen and transfer students,
Sept. 10-12. Clinics and workshops supplied cheerleading, SPIRE and CLARION information for those in-terested
in these activities. Buzz sessions provided the opportunity for new students to inquire into college
life.
Although mentally at ease, 're-treaters'
had little time for physi-cal
relaxation. Games such as
`Wells Fargo,' Round Robin table
tennis and softball, plus pep fests,
chapel meetings and campfire ser-vices
constituted a rigorous sched-ule.
Speakers for the services includ-ed
Dean Webster Muck, President
Carl Lundquist, Dean Clifford
Larson and Dr. Paul Finlay.
Green beanies, as well as iden-tification
badges, became the sym-bol
of the 'green' underclassmen.
Capping ceremonies were held at
6:45 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 11,
and beanies were donned along
with an oath to comply with the
wishes of upperclassmen. The
beanies were worn at all times
until commencement Friday, Sept.
1'5.
Freshmen also had the oppor-tunity
to discuss with their advi-sors
the academic side of life on
campus at the Welcome Banquet
held Sept. 9, while "Moods" were
portrayed fn music and poetry at
the All-School Welcome on Wed-nesday
evening.
The Cultural Council introduced
the cultural phase of campus life
to new students Friday, Sept. 15,
with a concert featuring Mr. Ar-thur
Thom, tenor, with Theodore
Bergman, accompanist.
Activities for Saturday, the
final day of Welcome Week, in-cluded
a football game, an all-school
picnic at Como Park, and
the first chance to sleep in late.
Frosh Divulge Expectations
Of Bethel Opportunities
It seems that the college office inadvertently
admitted more freshmen than could be adequately
accomodated with present college facilities. An
immediate solution to this pressing problem was
necessary. In an attempt to determine the validity
of Darwin's much-maligned theories of "survival of
the fittest," the recreational director at retreat in-stigated
a full-scale massacre of pseudo-cowboys
and Indians. Lending silent consent, the deans fished
on. However, a post-mortem evaluation reveals that
the college office will have to develop more strin-gent
means of limiting class size since no casual-ties
were reported.
Editor's note: Following are
excerpts from essays on "What
I expect at Bethel" written dur-ing
the CLARION workshop at
freshmen retreat. It is hoped
that the ideas expressed are
representative of those of in-coming
students and that they
may also prove helpful and in-teresting
to returning members
of the Bethel community.
Primarily I desire to look into
the humanities in a Christian
light; I believe in this kinship of
Christian devotion and scholar-ship
. . . I expect to learn to
enjoy and understand the things
around me more fully . . . My
mind is hungrily searching for
knowledge and wisdom regarding
many facets of life .. . At Bethel
I expect opportunity for intellect-ual
pursuits — long, jolly Rook
games, happy hours spent chasing
Well's Fargo cowboys . . . Though
my first and foremost goal is to
get an education, the reason I
chose Bethel was because of its
Christ-centered atmosphere . . . I
hope that at Bethel, through my
friends and professors, I may sat-isfy
my spiritual hunger as well
as the one for education . . . I am
anticipating years of wonderful
Christian fellowship . . . I expect
the dorm life to be orderly and
everyone thinking twice before
hurting someone's feelings . . . I
expect the students at Bethel to
be friendly and, more important,
to be Christians seeking God's
will .. . Finding one's life calling
is sometimes very difficult — not
often a bolt out of the blue. Bethel
offers for me an opportunity to
grow in knowledge, wisdom, and
social and spiritual maturity.
These four, when combined with
a Christian campus and program,
provide excellent conditions under
which the Lord's calling can ma-terialize
to something very real
for every Christian . . . At Bethel,
I am seeking to integrate my pe-culiar
abilities and ambitions into
the most purposeful life possible,
while I do more "growing up" in
Him . . . Time for quiet reflection
and meditation to assimilate the
social activities will no doubt be
provided in the coffee shop be-tween
classes . . . I have been
looking forward to Bethel as "the
house of God" where I can grow
in my Christian life and help
others to grow in theirs . . .
As well as expecting something
from the school, I also, by the
Lord's help, want to contribute
something in exchange.

make men shun it. For a long
time, the present two great powers
would be no powers at all. All the
other dogs in the manger would
be free to do their worst. Red
China would be able to expand as
far as its energies allowed. Cer-tainly
other states like the Arab
group would experiment in ex-pansion
if UN and Western oppo-sition
were gone. Castro would by
subversion and attack try to
spread his revolution in the Latin
Republics. To upset the whole
world's apple cart with no know-ing
how the apples would roll
would seem to be the sheerest
madness.
In spite of this, the Gallup poll
says that a large majority of Am-ericans
are ready to fight for
Berlin. What this must mean is
that a large number would fight
if the particular settlement that
the USSR would finally offer was

in some way unsatisfactory, for
Khrushchev is willing to nego-tiate.
This meaning is most con-fusing.
It confuses because for the past
decade or more the American pub-lic
could have demanded that a
good civil defense program be un-dertaken.
It might have cost no
more than 5 billion dollars a year
— one-sixteenth of the present
budget. With such a program,
casualties might be kept to 25 mil-lion.
But the Americans who wer,
not willing to up their taxes by
one-sixteenth for fear of losing
their chance to get a new motor
boat or whatnot, are willing to be
killed or reduced to poverty and
illness over a particular Berlin
arrangement. How can this be ?
This kind of irrational thinking
can push the leaders of both this
country and the USSR into posi-tions
that admit of great danger
or that admit no retreat at any
point. Do we have leaders strong
enough to be rational in a time
when irrationality is the theme ?
We can at this point only wait and
see, and pray for the peace that
all the world's people need so
much.

Choir Tours Set
For '62 Spring
Bethel's choral groups are al-ready
looking forward to the
spring tours, according to Ron
Veenker, tour co-ordinator.
Highlight of the season for this
year's Bethel male chorus will be
a twenty day tour of the Pacific
Northwest, which will include a
possible performance at the 1962
World's Fair in Seattle, Washing-ton.
The forty members of this
choral group will be traveling by
train, departing April 19, 1962.
Director is C. Howard Smith.
The women's choir, with direc-tor
Robert Peterson, will travel
throughout the Midwest and the
Middle-eastern states. Their two-week
tour will come to a climax
with three concerts in Toronto,
Canada.
The college choir, under the
hand of Robert Berglund, will sing
an all-sacred concert in many
churches and auditoriums in Iowa,
Illinois, South Dakota, and Wis-consin.
Tickets for the Schubert club
series will go on sale soon. Stu-dents
may purchase tickets for
the four concerts on the series
schedule for $1.
The first concert, to be held
Oct. 26, will feature the Nether-lands
chamber orchestra, a unique
musical organization of 23 strings
and harpsichord on its first Am-erican
tour. The group is directed
by Szymon Goldberg.
Future programs include Rudolf
Serkin, pianist and influential mu-sical
figure who will appear on
Nov. 28. Another piansit, William
Masselos, known for his champion-ship
contemporary music, will ap-pear
on March 29, 1962.
Free transportation will be pro-vided
for all students on the tic-ket
plan.
Enrollment Up
By 8 Per Cent
Six hundred and eighty-five stu-dents
swarmed Bethel campus as
the first day of classes convened
with an 8 per cent increase over
last year's enrollment. This figure
is expected to rise to an all-time
high of 695 when registration is
completed this week.
This largest enrollment since
the founding of the college in-cludes
students from New England
to the southern coast of Califor-nia.
Approximately 12 of our
Bethelites claim Canadian home-grounds
and 50 are transfer stu-dents
from other schools.
A rough breakdown of the en-rollment
finds the freshman class
numbering 268. The sophomores
have an even 200 in their ranks,
and the juniors boast 119. Eighty-three
seniors and 15 special or
unclassified students total the pre-sent
enrollment.
James S. Lombard, director of
concerts and lectures for the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, has announc-ed
the programs for the 1961-62
Masterpiece and Celebrity series.
Among the internationally known
stars scheduled to appear are Van
Cliburn, Eileen Farrell and Cor-nell
MacNeil. Van Cliburn gained
world fame when he won the
Tchaikowsky competition in Mos-cow
in 1958; this will be his first
recital appearance in the Master-piece
series. Eileen Farrell and
Cornell MacNeil are both with the
Metropolitan Opera company.
On the lighter side, Mantovani,
Genevieve, Jose Greco, the Strat-ford
Festival Players and the An-dahazy
Ballet Borealis will appear
in the Celebrity series.
Season tickets, now on sale, can
be purchased through the Univer-sity
Artists Course ticket office,
105 Northrop Auditorium. By buy-ing
season tickets, discounts from
1/3 to well over 1/2 can be ob-tained.
Tickets can be purchased
through Friday, Oct. 6.
Frosh Rally to
Precede Election
Freshman class officers will be
elected Sept. 28 for the 1961-62
school year.
A political rally atmosphere will
pervade the fieldhouse from 9 to
10 p.m. on Sept. 27 as presidential
candidates are given opportunity
for speeches and demonstrations.
A nominating committee has been
appointed to screen candidates for
office.
A primary election may be held
during the rally, but the final
voting will be in the student cen-ter
on Thursday, Sept. 28.

Thursday, September 21, 1961 the CLARION
Outweighed but not outfought;
less experienced but more deter-mined—
this was the story as the
Bethel Royals scratched their way
to a 12-6 victory over Sioux Falls
college in the 1961 grid opener
played September 16 at the Nor-ton
Field. A third quarter touch-down
by fullback Jim Nelson pro-vided
the clincher as the Royals
gathered a crucial victory in what
could be the beginning of a rise
in Bethel football fortunes after
last year's 2-6 season.
Bethel kicked off 'to Sioux Falls'
quarterback Buddy Sanchez who
returned the ball to his own 29.
The Braves could not move the
ball and punted, with the Royals
moving from their own 36 to the
Sioux Falls' 38 in six plays keyed
by two fine runs by Bob Larson.
Blocking lapses and a backfield
mixup brought about a Bob Clause
punt, but fine defensive play forc-ed
Sioux Falls to punt once more.
On the third down and six yards
to go, Larson rolled to the right
and threw to end Don Peterson
who outmaneuvered the secondary
for a touchdown and a 6-0 Bethel
lead. The point-after attempt was
unsuccessful.
In the second quarter, Sanchez
led the Braves on their only scor-ing
drive of the day. A swing pass
to Jim Heinsucker carried to the
Bethel 23 where a hard tackle by
Nelson eliminated the Brave's best
back for the remainder of the
game. Dennis Sonde led the drive
to the Royals 3 where Sanchez
sneaked over for the touchdown.
Ted Keck's try for the point was
blocked.

Cross-Country Season Opens:
Sloan and Purcell Lead Squad
Pre-season training is in full
swing for the Bethel cross-country
team under the direction of coach
Gene Glader. Sophomore Fred
Purcell is expected to lead the
squad, with assistance from re-turning
members Dale Pearson
and Howard Dinsmore.
Junior Paul Sloan and sopho-more
Monty Okken, who did not
compete in cross-country last year,
have also reported for the team.
Sloan is expected to provide stiff
competition for the number one
berth as both he and Purcell
qualified for the NAIA national
meet in the three-mile run last
spring. Promising freshmen in-clude
Gordon Carlson and Jim
Stickle.
A definite schedule has not yet
been arranged, but an average of
one meet a week against some of
the top schools in the Twin Cities
and surrounding area is expected.
Any students interested in partici-pating
in cross-country should con-tact
Coach Glader.

The rest of the half produced
no scoring, but the Royals showed
some fine offensive plays which
included a 12-yard run by Dan
Travaille and a spectacular catch
of a Larson pass by Jan Kolbrek,
who grabbed the ball while reach-ing
over the shoulder of a defend-er.
The third quarter produced no-thing
until Sioux Falls punted to
Cox who returned to his own 48.
From there the Royals scored in
nine plays climaxed by Nelson's
five-yard smash through most of
the opposing line. Nelson gained
27 of the 52 yards covered in the
drive, while Travaille gained 16
on two end runs, and Tuffy Bry-ant
and an offside penalty pro-vided
the remainder. Travaille's
end run for the extra point was
unsuccessful.
Royals Battle
Lakeland; Seek
Second Victory One down and seven to go—
this is the prospect facing the
Bethel Royals after Saturday's
12-6 upset of Sioux Falls. On Sept.
23, the Royals travel to Sheboy-gan,
Wis., to battle Lakeland, the
1960 Badger-Gopher conference
champions.
The fighting Muskies have 16
lettermen and their entire starting
team returning to attempt another
undefeated conference season.
Depth remains the only question
mark, but a fine looking freshman
squad seems to alleviate this prob-lem.
After Saturday's contest, the
Royals return home to face May-ville
State Teacher's college of
Mayville, N. Dak., on Friday night,
Sept. 29, at Norton field in their
second non-conference clash of the
season.

Saturday's opening game at least partially answered some ques-tions
about which Coach Halleen and his staff had been quite con-cerned.
Among these were the ability of Bob Larson to provide better
than adequate field generalship from his quarterback post; the pass
defense; the inexperience of some upperclassmen and of course the
freshmen; and finally the question of team depth.
The first seemed to be answered rather well as Larson called an
alert game and ran strongly. His passing was certainly adequate, par-ticularly
in view of the rather strong wind. Larson is obviously 100%
improved over last season and the Lake Norden, S. Dak. sophomore
could be one of the big factors in lifting Bethel from their recent foot-ball
doldrums.
The pass defense showed up surprisingly well. Whether or not
this is due to the weakness of the Sioux Falls quarterbacks remains
to be seen. The visitors were obviously hurting at the quarterback
slot as both Sanchez and Reed consistently underthrew their receivers.
This should not overshadow the fine work of Dave Cox and Dave Asher
in the defensive backfield but the pass defense must remain a question
mark until it is really tested.
The third question was answered in rather surprising fashion as
such rather inexperienced players as Dan Travaille, Mike Miller, Asher,
Ken Hardy, Myron Leafblad, Bill Carter, Cox, Gene Selander, and
Lowell Gause all played well. Continued improvement by these and
others would be very helpful to say the least.
Team depth won Saturday's game. Bethel could substitute rather
freely without losing strength where Sioux Falls could not. This is
particularly refreshing after it is remembered that Bethel fielded a
total of 17 players for the final game of the 1960 season. Coach Halleen
must receive credit for some successful recruiting which is all the
more amazing when it is considered that Bethel's athletic scholarship
program is almost non-existent.
Bethel has a very strong line. The likes of Ray Shepherd, Chuck
Rogers, Phil Evan, Gause, Don Peterson, and Jerry Oas completely
outplayed a bigger Sioux Falls line. Captain Shepherd is developing into
a really fine team leader.
The Bethel cheering section was rather lazy Saturday. This in-cludes
the fans, the band, and the cheerleaders. The small Sioux Falls
pep band seemed to have more life than our entire cheering section.
This should be improved for future home games. By the way, how
did you like the new uniforms—pretty sharp ?
