Two-Week Clothing Drive Starts Today
Robert Hilton HamburgSeminaryStudents Need Aid
Leads Freshmen Bethelites To Send Used Clothing Music Faculty To Present
Chamber Music Next Friday AN INTENSIVE TWO - WEEK DRIVE for used clothing got underway
this morning when Bethelites faced the challenge of cold and hungry
Hamburg seminary students as Annamarie Oesterlie and Ingmar Gall-mer
indicated that these same German young people were possibly
the best means of presenting the gospel to th German people. Students
in the Baptist Seminary at Hamburg are in great need of warm cloth-ing
and food, it was pointed out.
"Today is the day of opportunity
in Germany. Tommorow may be
too late," is the united statement
of Mr. Kenneth Norquist and Mr.
Jim Merril, Baptist General Con-ference
workers in Germany to-day.
Hamburg students are ac-quainted
with conditions as they
exist in Germany and possess a
wealth of background material for
dealing with their own people, Mr.
Norquist and Mr. Merril believe.
To help them is to help in a uni-que
way the lost of Germany, ac-cording
to the two.

Dishwashing Time
A new $1,500 dishwashing mach-ine
recently installed in the Bethel
Dining Hall dish room has affected
a substantial reduction in time nec-essary
to wash dishes as well as
guaranteed a high degree of sani-tation
in the dishwashing process,
according to a statements made by
Harold Christenson, dining hall
manager.
This stainless-steel Auto San
Colt made machine has a capacity
to wash 2,400 dishes per hour- by
means of a conveyer mechanism
which keeps the racks of dishes
moving through the machine at
a steady speed. While in the mach-ine,
the dishes are both washed
and rinsed automatically by two
separate spraying systems.
Besides the new dishwasher,
galvanized tables have been in-stalled
in an arrangement that
gives the dish room process an
assembly line appearance. A new
Hamilto-Beach glass washer has
also been added to the dish wash-ing
line. The total of all these
improvements amounts to $2,500
including the new dishwasher and
installation costs, as compared to
a previous system totaling only
$500.
Rev. R. E. Thompson, speaking
to over 200 students representing
14 schools in the State, emphasis-ed
that the Christian call is to
fellowship with the Lord and
missionary service is merely a dir-ective
within that fellowship. Rev.
Thompson, a director of China In-land
Mission with 30 years of
missionary experience, has recent-ly
taken the position of personnel
secretary of the Far Eastern Gos-pel
Crusade and knows whereof
he speaks.
Bethel's Missionary Band Cabi-net
members were in charge of
the details inherent to Bethel's
role as host to the rally. Banner
decorations were obtained from
Augsburg College.
Activities began at 2 P. M. Sat-urday
and carried through Satur-day
evening. They included movies
in China and Formosa taken dur-ing
a recent visit to the Orient by
Youth For Christ evangelists, and
informal coffee-time and singspi-ration.
Twenty-four candidates for
mission work in the far east at-tended
the conference. Lowell
Nerge from Augsburg is the retir-ing
president of the organization.

If we could have a dollar for

some friend has asked, "How is
Melvin?", by now we would have
accumulated quite a sum. But we
feel that the friendly interest be-hind
your questions is worth far
more than that. While Melvin, who
came to school as a freshman, has
been in Ancker Hospital since
September 14 recovering from
polio, he has received much cheer

many thoughtful gestures.
Through the Clarion we want to
thank each of you for your many

for your prayers. We thank our
Lord for so many friends, and for
His healing power.

LeVau Takes Over
In Music Library
Mr. Edward LeVau, voice in-structor,
can now also be called
the Music Librarian. A library for
music and records has been or-ganized
in the main library on the
balcony between the Prayer Tower
and the Music Listening Room. All
of the choral literature of the
Male Chorus, the Women's Chorus,
the Chapel Choir, the instrumental
ensemble, and the records and the
scores that go with the records
are to be found therein. These
are in the process of being cata-logued
for general circulation in
accordance with library rules and
procedure. Any student or faculty
member has access to these facili-ties.
The basement of St. Paul's First
Baptist Church is a very busy
place each Wednesday afternoon.
Here all the neighborhood child-ren
are given an opportunity to
learn about the Bible. Miss Lund,
who is in charge of the group,
directs the activities and assigns
work to each of the six students
from Bethel. Those comprising
this group are Shirley Adamson,
Carol Asker, Ann Radunz, James
Niles, Ford Wilson, and Ted Swan-son.
The program, divided into three
parts, consists of singing and
games, a devotional period, and
handicraft. Each student is in
charge of a game and a section of
the handicraft and each takes his
or her turn in presenting the Bible
story.
Clay-modeling, sewing, weaving,
and embroidering are offered to
the children as well as yarn work
for the younger ones.
Appreciation is expressed to
Miss Lund, who invited our young
people to dinner the evening after
the first meeting.
Many students are still needed
for child evangelism classes and
anyone interested is urged to see
Mr. Lidbom in the Christian ser-vice
office.
Quartet To Go
Abroad In Dec.
Next Wednesday evening's Fel-lowship
Hour will be under the
leadership of last year's Bethel
Courier Quartet, made-up of Leo-nard
Anderson, Ronald Nelson,
John Soneson, and Donald Peter-son.
This quartet is presently pre-paring
to make a trip to Sweden
next December for a six month
tour of the country in evangelistic
singing.
The General Baptist Conference
has endorsed the group and they
will be represented under the Con-ference
name while in Sweden.
The Couriers begin next week to
do deputation work among the
General Baptist C o n f e re n c e
Churches, which they will engage
in until the time of departure.
On December 4th, 1950, their boat
is scheduled to sail and they will
accompany Ingemar Gallnor, Swe-dish
student on campus, back to
his homeland.
During the morning chapel per-iod
Bethel students came to grips
with the same issues that faced
the Religious Council earlier in
the school year and put into mo-tion
their plans for the drive.
Margaret Sheffler will head the
committees for collecting the
clothing and has already asked
Shirley Kilgore to be responsible
for the Bodien Residence collec-tion,
Jim Hubbard to serve the
same capacity in the Edgren Resi-dence
and Maynard Johnson to
forward the project in the Hag-strom
Apartments. Eleanor John-son
will be in charge of commut-er's
contributions. All types and
sizes of clothing will be useful.
GI Benefits Cease
Summer of '51
On July 25, 1951, according to
a recent decision of the Veterans
Administration, all GI educational
benefits will be ended unless vet-erans
comply with the following
regulations:
1. On this date a veteran must
be enrolled in an educational in-stitution
or be in an interrupted
status because of summer vaca-tion,
or other reasons beyond the
control of the veteran.
2. After this date he must be in
continuous training during the re-gular
school year, until he reaches
his educational or job objectives.
3. Also, after this date no vet-eran
may change his basic course
of education except for reasons
satisfactory to the Veterans Ad-ministration,

Miss Mildred Bisgrove, pianist, Kaljo Raid, Cellist, and Valdeko
Kangro, violinist, will be presented in a recital of Chamber Music
in the College Chapel next Friday evening, November 3rd.
Chamber Music is sometimes called ensemble music, and is played
by two or more solo performers. Each part is of equal value in con-trast
either to a solo with piano accompaniment or an orchestra that
has more than one instrument
playing a part. In this recital, the
instruments are the piano, the
cello, and the violin.
The works of four composers
are to be performed. Two of these
composers, Buxtehude (1637 1707)
and Handel (1685-1759) are of the
Baroque Period. The third, Mr.
Raid, the cellist, is of course, of
the Twentieth Century, but his
work is a synthesis, of the old and
new in composition. The fourth
composer is usually refered to as
the Classical Romanticist Johannes
Brahms (1833-1897)). The program
is as follows:
Trio Sonata in A Minor
Buxtehude
Sonata in D Major for Violin
and Piano Handel
Duo for Violin and Cello
Raid
Trio in C Minor for piano, violin
and cello Brahms

The Iron Curtain And Prayer
by Marjarie Ford
0? all Bethel's foreign students, probably no one can speak with more first-hand
experience of life behind the Iron Curtain than Pastor Elias L. Golonko, who has
enrolled as a special student in the Seminary for his first study in this country.
Born in Russia but reared in Poland, Mr. Golonko served in the Polish army in
World War II and was taken as a Russian prisoner of war in 1939.
Four months later he left Russian and went to Hamburg, Germany, where he
studied and graduated from the Baptist Seminary there. He became a minister and
preached the gospel in Eastern Germany until 1945. After sometime as a homeless
refugee, he was called to minister at Lubeck near Hamburg, where from 1946 to 1950
he served as chaplain to the displaced persons and refugees in both British and
American zones. In this work his earlier language study enabled hirn to preach in
five different languages.
Mr. Golonko, his wife and two children came to this country in February of this
year under sponsorship of a Baptist church in Minneota, Minnesota, where he is now
pastor.
Converted out of Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy when he was sixteen by
the prayers and personal work of a small group of Polish Baptists, Mr. Golonko
testifies to the power of prayer throughout his life.
"During the war I often faced death and frequently experienced God's guidance
and protection. I learned to believe in prayer as God led me through the fires of
war, prison camp in Russia, bombing and prison in Hamburg, and then over the
ocean to America. My way to Bethel was God's answer to many prayers. I appreciate
the spiritual atmosphere here at Bethel, and I am especially grateful to Dr. Wingblade
and the committee who made every arrangement for my coming here."
Pastor Golonko plans to gain the Seminary B. D. degree and then to return to
Eastern Europe as soon as it is possible to do missionary and pastoral work there.
Adventures On Hinges
by Marty
Did you know that doors could speak? Not classrooms, or house doors, but dorm
doors? Here's how to teach yours to—take some colored paper, crayons, name cards,
pennants and throw them all together and you'll get a pretty decorated door. It will
not only say who lives there, but also invite all to come in.
That must have been what Beth Eliason and Connie Johnson had in mind when
they taught their door to "Fall Inn". Red, gold, green and brown leaves decorate
the door (wonder what they'll do when winter comes?)
Pennants from Oakland, Chicago, and Worchester on the door speak for Lenore
Anderson, Elaine Holmquist and Sue Danielson. Bright yellow paint suggests that we
"Peek Inn."
Bev Harris and Barb Port had the same idea when they painted "Bev and
Barb' just outside their rooms.
Marienell Struck and Mae Lundblad made their door the hospitable type with
"Dew Drop Inn" while the door of Ardis Anderson and Netty Divirnak says "Wel-come
Inn".
Suggesting that Marie Eckstrom and Duraine Anderson either study a lot or
don't, their room sadly informs us "Seldom Inn".
You have to be thin to get in the room the "The Bats"—Doris Christianson,
Carole Peterson, Dorothy Johnson and Ardyce Strandberg—for their door oldly
commands "Squeeze Inn".
The doors of the boys' dorm are trimmed even more gaily with such signs as
"Quiet, please! Some people like to sleep at night!" Kenny Erickson and Wally Olson
must be quite busy people, for a businesslike announcement says "Sleeping-12:01
a. m. to 11:58 a. m. Out to Lunch-11:58 a. m. to 12:01 a. m." (H'mmm)
Probably for the benefit of the lady, visitors at the Open House was the placard
on Geraard Hagstrom's and Lowry Frederickson's door—"Ladies, No Admittance!"
So you see, here's your chance to turn your door into a talking phenomena. It'll
save you some words and you'll have fun with your paper, paste, crayons and
scissors.

Editorial .. .
..The following chain reaction of thought was
:.et off in my mind by last Tuesday's chapel
service in celebration of World Freedom Day.
With the word Freedom was associated the
word Statesmen. Freedom still appears toclay
with sufficient evidence to me that among
those who formed laiws in our country were
Statesmen.
In defining a Stateman I did not think of
the politician who made his decisions because
he wanted to keep his job. I thought of the
politician who, because of a conviction that a
certain legislation was for the best interest
of all, lost himself in zeal to stand firm for
his belief, and whose own gain fell out of
sight. Then I was thankful that many of this
type of statesman had convictions based on
moral truth sensed by their belief in God.
Then I wondered if there were enough states-men
today and tomorrow who would not only
stand firm for their convictions, but have con-victions
based on belief in God.
Then I wondered if there were any Christians
who were training with the hope of getting
into legislative circles, and if there were, were
there enough. Some talented Christian men
don't look upon politics in terms of the Lord's
will for them because for some unexplainable
reason they contend that consideration of the
Lord's will isn't most likely applicable to
politics in a real sense.
The chain of thought ended this way: What
a glorious picture came to mind of the Chris-tian
legislator defending with fervor a deep
conviction which in his own fellowship with
God has become real to him as the correct
stand to take, even If it meant standing alone.
Christian statesmen are necessary to future
freedom. Can lore consider this as service?
I Wonder--
Do We Do Our Best?
by Jean Hoskings
"The function of art is to widen our
experience of life and to intensify it."
What should this quotation mean to young
people preparing for Christian service? If
the arts widen and intensify life the expon-ents
of the abundant life cannot afford to
neglect cultivating an intelligent, apprecia-tive
handling of them as tools to lead con-verts
into the deeper things of Christ.
Yet in an age when culture declined be-cause
the principle of sacrificing quality
for mass production invaded every field
of endeavor, the church which should have
instinctively clung, to the strongest, purest
expression of feeling, tended to be caught
in the sway of the mass.
For instance, church music which al-ways
ran a close second to preaching it
influence on Christian history and doctrine
has today come to the place where most
of the songs being written only scratch
the surface of spiritual experience. We
sing:
"My wonderful Lord, my wonderful Lord
By angels and seraphs in heaven adored
I bow at Thy shrine, my Savior divine,
My wonderful, wonderful Lord."
But the middle ages joined in such ex-pression
as:
"Jesus thou by of living hearts,
Thou Fount of life, thou Light of men,
From the best bliss that earth imparts
We turn unfilled to Thee again."
The two experiences could have been
much the same, but the expression is
worlds apart. Most church music of the
past met the impartial standards of art
and still contained a wealth of rich spirit-ual
content. In music or any of the other
arts we need not make a choice between
warm spiritually and artistic merit. In all
forms of art there are certain rules which
time has proven valid. We can express
the richness of the Christian faith and
produce something deeper because of the
confining precepts of correct form. Can we
hope for an expression of present-day
evangelical faith in such fields as music
and literature that will enrich the life
of the Christian and command the atten-tion
of the artistic world?
If so, we must learn to know and appre-ciate
the best. Even if we are not able to
participate in the arts in a creative way,
when we have opportunity to plan or lead
Christian programs we can help bring the
'est to others.
One Thousand Years Ago
by Ann Radunz
The pale yellow beams of the full moon
were hidden momentarily behind the dark
cloud that filled the sky, and the only
source of illumination on earth came from
the red glow of the bon-fires which were
scattered throughout the countryside. I
shuddered as I intently watched the pagan
people encircle these fires and keep a
vigil for Hallowmas. They believed that
ghosts and witches roamed about on the
nights before this event, and they lit fires
to drive them away.
Chants arose to Saman, lord of death, in
an effort to pacify his mighty wrath. I
felt like giving out with a Swiss yodel,
but thought I would frighten these poor
people to death.
As the fires slowly burned out, I noticed
that each person put a pebble in the dying
embers. This represented the person's life,
and if the stone disappeared during the
night, the person was certain to die within
the next twelve months. From this, springs
our present day Halloween.
The fields soon became desolate, for at
midnight, Saman was to call together all
of the wicked souls who had inhabitated
bodies of --animals during the past year.
Leaving this cheerful place, I wound my
way towards a brightly lit house and de-cided
to crash the party.
A writer, it is said, will go to any ex-tremes
to get a story, and I consider it
quite an extreme to travel a thousand
years into the past to learn about Hallo-we'en.
Laughter rang from the house I was
approaching, and peering in the window,
I was surprised to see young people duck-ing
for apples and roasting nuts. This is
Christian service demands the whole life.
It is erroneous to classify our activities as
"secular" and "Christian", for Christ must
dominate every sphere of our lives.
Hence, we recognize the first step is to
know God—the great initial step of "tak-ing
Christ". Yet there comes a further
demand to yield our lives to Him. We dare
not stop here, for the essence of a Chris-tian
servant's life is found in Obedience!
This is the "action principle"; the factor
that means "going forward"—progressing!"
It is one thing to be "Christian", and an-other
thing to be an "active Christian."
Your Christian Service Department,
Bethelite, is your opportunity to obey and
one tradition that found its way into our
modern world.
Putting my Frankenstein mask on. I
boldly walked in, much to the amazement
of the guests, for, as yet, costumes had
not been in-corporated into their celebra-tion.
The fortune-teller supplied me with
much information, saying that everyone
born on that night had the power- to for-see
the future and to communicate with
the dead. When she asked if I would care
to speak with my grand-mother, I decided
not to tell her that she wouldn't be born
for another nine hundred years, due to
the fact that my sanity might be question-ed.
Gathering together all my notes, I
borrowed the nearest broomstick and
started toward home where people would
appreciate my Frankenstein mask.
It has been well said that even the
throngs on a crowded street will make
way for one who clearly demonstrates that
he is going somewhere. Too many people,
sad to say, seem to have no purpose or
goal.
A while ago- a pastor overheard the
following conversation between two men.
One was lounging against a railing when
the other came sauntering along. "Where
are you going?"
"Nowhere."
"Wait a minute and I'll go with you."
Dr. Frank Crane, the most widely read
syndicated writer of other years, said this
in an editorial: "You do not have to be
very brilliant or extraordinary to attain a
comparative success. There are so many
lazy and indifferent people all around you
that it does not require much ability or
drive to surpass them. You do not need
to be a race horse or a genius. Carry on
as faithfully as may be, and you will make
a mark."
Then this: "If you know more than any-one
else about anything, you will stand
out among your fellows. He who becomes
an authority on the chemistry of steel, or
on the apple, or the dandelion, will soon
be in a position to render signal service—
and the people will beat a path to his
door."
Here again the recipe boils down to
putting in the time faithfully and making
the most of what God has given us. We
are all different—and that is well. The
assistant to one of America's most dis-tinguished
pastors said: "I cannot preach
the way he does, but he cannot preach the
way I do either."
After all it is not success in the eyes
of the world that should be our goal; there
is something higher and deeper. The im-portant
thing is to fill our place in God's
plan faithfully and well. The great Lincoln
said: "I do not have to succeed but I have
to be true. I will stay with a man as long
as he is right and part with him when he
goes wrong."
"All are architects of 'faith',
Working on the walls of time.
Some with massive deeds and great,
Some with ornaments of rhyme.
Nothing, useless is, or vain;
Each thing in its place is best.
And what seems but idle show
Strengthens and supports the rest."
to act! In the past forty days of 1950,
Bethel has sent out some twenty-six gospel
teams and nearly an equal number of in-dividual
speaking or musical assignments
have been made. Souls have been saved!
Also, there are approximately forty stu-dents
engaged in club work, Sunday school
tearhing, and child evangelism work.
Letters are presently being sent to all
conference churches (within this Twin City
area) advertising our gospel teams with
their zealous message of salvation. Further
contacts are being made with city missions;
churches of like belief; convalescent hos-pitals;
etc.
Are you "aching" to join a gospel team,
or to be of other service? Don't wait for
someone to ask you, but let Harold Lid-born
or Wes Forsline, of your Christian
Service Department, know immediately.
For those who are especially interested
in being leaders of city mission teams,
street meetings, boys club work, or hospi-tal
work, please let us know.
This all means that Christian Service is
not a mere "past-time". It is work! During
-the coming three weeks, you are extended
the opportunity to work with God's Inva-sion
Army in "active witnessing" at any
time of the day or evening. Don't let this
opportunity pass you by!
Opportunities are tremendous. You,
• Bethelite, assume the "initiative" in the
strength of the Lord, and you'll realize
why Paul said "I count it joy to suffer
(sacrifice) for Him!

Bethel Adds
Custodian To
Personnel List
Hired by the school administ-ration
of Bethel to assume duties
as assistant custodian on campus,
Mr. Karl Axel Bjurholm of Stock-holm,
Sweden, arrived on campus
this week, having landed in this
country on the Swedish Liner
Gripsholm, October 15th. Mr.
Bjurholm intends to make St.
Paul, U. S. A. his home for the
rest of his life.
Next January, Mr. Bjurholm's
wife, daughter Peggy, 11, and son
Lars Eric, 7, will join him as he

The new custodian was born in
Stockholm, however, he spent
eight years of his younger life in
this country with his parents, at
which time he attended grammar
and high school, and worked. Re-ferring
to his second time in
America, Mr. Bjurholm remarks,
"I like it in America, and having
been here before, something got
into my blood that gave me a
strong desire to return."

Weekly Offerings
Must Average $170
For Band Goal
There is still $4,650 to go toward
the 1950-51 missionary offering
goal of $5,000, Phil McLain, Miss-ionary
Band treasurer announced.
An average of $170.00 per week
has to be maintained in the chapel
offerings if the goal is to be
reached. Mr. McLain has stated
that meeting the goal represents
a total of $10.00 contributed by
each student for the school year,
or five cents per day by each
student.
Next Friday the Missionary
Band has charge of the chapel
service, at which time Rev. Curt
Akenson, pastor of the First Bapt-ist
Church, Minneapolis, will bring
a missionary message.
At this chapel service, the Miss-ionary
Band will call for a vote of
the student body on the dispers-ment
of $280 left in the missionary
treasury from last year. This
amount had been designated to aid
foreign students in their study in
this country, however, their is
presently a question concerning
re-designating the amount to help
support the Baptist Seminary in
Hamburg, Germany, the only non-state
Seminary in Germany. The
Hamburg Seminary has been fac-ing
financial difficulty to the point
where its continued operation has
been questioned. The students will
decide if they want the $280 sent
to Hamburg.

Some twenty members and visi-tors
met for the Progressive Dis-cussion
Group meeting last Tues-day
night in the Seminary lounge
to hear Dr. Reynold Wik and Mr.
Kaljo Raid, both of the College,
discuss the subject, "Should
Communists be deprived of their
liberties in this country."
Dr. Wik began his discussion
citing from history various legis-lative
acts made to discover those
disloyal to the president or
government and pointed out some
causes for the question of liber-ties
presently confronting Ameri-ca.
The main points of the Wood-
McCarran Bill, recently passed by
the United States legislature over
the veto of President Truman, was
made known to the group. Parts
of this bill stated that Communist
front organizations were to regis-ter
their number and source of
funds with the government.
In summary, Dr. Wik stated that
the McCarran legislation appeared
to be impractical in the light that
similar measures did not serve
their purpose in the past. He in-dicated
that he thought that the
Smith Act and the present Loyalty
checks made by the FBI acted as
sufficient defense against disloyal-ty
and that more legislation such
as the McCarran Bill might cause
the innocent to suffer.
Mr. Raid surveyed theoretical
and practical Communism by quot-ing
from Lenin and Stalin, and
by giving examples of Communism
in action, stating that the system
was quite consistent in their view-points
and practices. He stated
that attacking Communism from
within was much different than
attacking it from without and
since the Communist group was a
minority in this country, he did
not see the need for great 'fear.
Among the important steps Ameri-ca
could take to counter-act
Communism, he listed these three
in his conclusion: Live democracy
and make it work; make clear to
Europe and especially Asia what
American democracy really is in
contrast to Communism of Russia;
preach and propagandize democ-racy.
In the business session prior to
the discussions, Roger Hedberg
was named as chairman of the
organization for this year and Mar-vin
Lindstedt was appointed Sec-retary.

Meet Austin In Final Contest
Fifth Win In Six Games Sought
Already assured of the best season ever in the short history of foot-ball
at Bethel, the gridmen go after their fifth win in six games to-night
at Austin, Minnesota. This will be the final game of the season
and will start at 8:00 P. M.
Bethel, thus far this year
and Morris, and has lost only to
has defeated Rochester, Ely, Northland
Worthington. In these five games, the
Indians have rolled up 97 points
while holding their opponents to
only 21. Fifteen touchdowns have
been scored by the high-spirited
Indians. In addition, one safety
and five extra points have been
tallied.
Chalking up its fourth win out
of five starts this season, the
Bethel College grid team rolled to
a 31-0 victory over Morris Agri-culture
School. The game was
played on October 20 at Morris.
INDIANS SCORE EARLY
After receiving the ball in the
first quarter on the kickoff, the
Indians took just thirteen plays to
score from their own 38 yard line.
Rolling up seven first downs to the
Aggies none, Bethel had the ball
for all but three plays in this
period. The first TD was made on
a pass from Cliff Pals to Clarence
(Red) Anderson. The extra point
by Schumacher was good and was
the only one made by the Redmen
all afternoon.

RON SKOOG SCORES
Two long passes and an eleven
yard romp resulted in the second
marker which came in the second
quarter. Ron Skoog scored on the
run which was the final push of
a 66 yard drive. Later in the quar-ter,
Bob Schumacher charged 12
yards to scoring territory to give
the Indians a 19-0 lead at half.
DOWNFIELD BLOCKING .
Morris received the ball in the
second half, but could not get
rolling, so punted to their own
40 yard line. Some beautiful down-field
blocking enabled the carrier
to return the kick to the Aggie
sixteen. On the third play, Dick
Chadderdon took a wide lateral
and crossed the goal line on a
play that completely fooled Mor-ris.
FINAL COUNTER
Bethel scored on the second play
in the last period to - end the day's
scoring. The TD came on a pass
from Bob Schumacher to Ray
Brace. The play covered 20 yards.
Sports Sketch
by Oliver DuFrene
Wandering around the dressing
room, I. came upon a few facts
about a young fellow whom most
of us know. I will pass what
facts I know about him unto you.
This fellow, Clarence "Red"
Anderson, is playing left end on
the football squad. He holds down
a key defensive spot and also is
a terrific line man and pass re-ceiver
on offense.
"Red" came here from Silver-hill,
Alabama and received his
education at Robertsdale High
School in Alabama. While in high
school, "Red" played tackle on
the football squad for two years.
He also participated in baseball.
"Red" stands six feet tall and
weighs 185 pounds. He has played
for Bethel the last three years
along with Curt Peterson, who was
written up in last weeks Clarion.
"Red" is now in his junior year
at Bethel. He is majoring in social
science and minoring in physical
education. His future plans are
directed at being a youth director.
pudidi004!
The Clarion sports staff was
polled as to their opinions of the
outcome of the Bethel-Austin con-test.
Here is the entire staff's pre-dictions:
Cliff Smith Bethel 20 Austin 14
011ie DuFrene Bethel 13 Austin 7
Coming from behind at the half,
Bethel upset a favored Northland
College squad to gain a Homecom-ing
victory on October 14, 13-7.
The win was Bethel's third out of
four contests this season.
BOTH TEAMS SCORE
The opening quarter found the
Indians deep in the Lumberjack's
territory for much of the time.
However they lacked the scoring
punch needed and were repulsed
on the 12 yard line. Soon after the
second period opened, Bethel gain-ed
possession- of the pigskin and
on their first play from scrim-mage,
Bob Schumacher, aided by
fine blocking especially by Bob
Carlson who threw a key block,
dashed 67 yards to score. The

extra point was missed. Later in
the quarter with two minutes to
go, Northland scored on a pass
which covered four yards. The
extra point was good and at the
half, Northland led 7-6.
BETHEL GAINS LEAD
In the third period, Bethel
scored the only other marker of
the game. Shortly after the Indi-ans
kicked off, Northland fumbled.
Capitalizing on this error, the Red-men
marched 33 yards in nine
plays to go over for six points.
Bob Schumacher also scored this
touchdown on a short plunge of
three yards. Not content with just
a touchdown, Bob ran the extra
point and once more cashed in.
NORTHLAND THREATENS
For the remainder of the game,
the two teams pushed back and
forth on the gridiron. As the game
neared the end, the Lumberjack's
opened up a terrific passing attack
and almost scored. They finally
lost possession of the ball on the
Bethel three yard line. The In-dians
took the ball and as the
game ended, were on the 15 yard
line.
Ladder Act Next
After performing their first
appearance at Homecoming, the
gymnasts are now back at the
grind of practice sessions.
Although near catastrophe be-fell
the tumblers when many of
the squad became sick the night
before Homecoming, they recover-ed
partially and put on a fine mat
program for the crowd. Their co-operation
was much appreciated.
Marlin Nelson, director, has ex-pressed
the fact that the gymnasts
will be working on the Roman
Ladder Act as soon as football is
over. This act is very popular and
requires skilled cooperation and
coordination as well as courage in
some instances.

SPORTS

Basketball will soon occupy the
spotlight at Bethel. Probably the
most closely followed sport at the
school, basketball is also the old-est
sport on the campus. For many
years, the Indians have competed
and been returned the victors on
many of the occasions.
The 1950-51 edition has been in
training each day for the past
three weeks. Fundamentals, includ-ing
passing, dribbling and the like,
as well as much shooting, have
been stressed.
Coach Del Ray Peterson, new
this year, is in high hopes for the
season and sees no reason why the
team should not run up as good
a record as last year of 13 wins
and 7 losses.

It will probably be the last
game for some of the team per-sonal
with Bethel, and they wili
be playing doubly hard as will the
entire squad in gunning for a
fine record of five wins against a
lone loss.
Meanwhile, Austin will be point-ing
for the Redmen, because of
several reasons. Firstly, the Blue
Devils remember the defeat hand-ed
them here last year by the
Indians. Bethel stopped them 6-0
on Homecoming. Secondly, the
Austin team has played Rochester
twice and has whipped them both
times by one touchdown. Bethel
beat Rochester 13.0.
Then also, the game is the Blue
Devil's Homecoming game and this
seems to always inspire a team to
greater heights.
Outstanding names to remember
on the 30 man squad are Gordon
Srock, Don Veith, Howard Hunter,
Russ Triplett, and Keith Knight.
For Bethel, the starting lineup
will probably be: Red Anderson
and Phil Carlson at ends, Don
Bergren and Ralph Bennett at the
guard spots, Rod Kjell at center,
Ron Skoog at quarterback, Dick
Chadderdon and Bob Schumacher
at the halfbacks, and Cliff Pals
at fullback.
To Play Grid Tourney
The Intramural sports program
which started out with such a
rush has dwindled to only a whis-per.
Touch football games are still
being played, but only by four
teams. East, West, Iowa, and Illin-ois
are the only teams still com-peting.
Others have failed to show
up at designated times and thus
all the games have been canceled.
The football tournament has
been arranged for all and will in-clude
the four teams mentioned
above. East and West are favored
to meet for the championship.
Basketball plans are being made
and the schedules will soon be
posted on the bulletin board out-side
the gym. A well-rounded,
active schedule is hoped for with
all regions putting teams into com-petition.
For any further informa-tion,
see Don Dye, intramural
chairman.
"Between eighteen and twenty
have reported so far and I expect
more out when football is over",
says Peterson.
Those who have been out thus
far include: Bud Pierce, captain
elect, Pete Unruh, Art Hage, Gord
Johnson, Dick Bandy, Wayne
Thompson, Gene Messenger, Dean
Stromwell, Ron Nelson, Art Vogel,
Arlan Ashbaugh, Dave Sheldon,
and a few others.
The schedule is being worked
out and should include about ten
home games. As last year, all
home games will be played at the
Minnehaha Academy new gym at
47th and 31st South in Minneapo-lis.
All games will be either Tues-day
or Saturday.

The sports staff would like to take this opportunity to thank the
football coaches, managers, and all their assistants for the fine job
they have done this year. Thank you to: Lynn Lundeen, Elmer Fisher,
Ron Nelson, Merle Brown, and any others who deserve the credit!

Tonight, the season will be finished out as Bethel meets Austin on
the out of town field. Buses have been tentatively scheduled for stu-dents.
Support your team in this game—the last of the season.. Cheer
them on to victory and to Bethel's completion of their finest season
ever.
Now just a word of praise to the hard working line men on this
year's squad. While the backs generally gain the glory in scoring, the
line is forgotten. Without them, no TD's would be scored. Hats off to:
Cal Anderson, Clarence Anderson, Cliff Anderson, Ralph Bennett, Don
Bergren, Ray Brace, Bob Carlson, Phil Carlson, Ken Gullman, Virg
Hegle, Ron Johnson, Rod Kjell, Curt Peterson, and John Viren.
