Both of these Alumni gave me every attention and added greatly to the value of my stay in Lima. THANK YOU, ALUMNI HE thanks of the College trustees, faculty and students for your continued and prea increasing support, financial and _per- ZEA sonal. Your help is indispensable in our forward march toward higher standards and greater usefulness. Here are five ways in which you further the progress of the College. SNNN I was interested to meet Charles D. Hurrey, working for many years in the Y. M. C. A. in South America. Mr. Valdez told me that there are over 10,000 basketball players in Peru. I. Interpret our Program This program includes the following: Higher standards for admission and graduation, physi- cal, academic and personal; Better organiza- tion and extension of student aid, scholarships At Lima Dr. Doggett with Dr. Carlos Caseres Alvarez, summer school Alumnus ’16, Charles D.

I felt very much at home when I saw our College em- THE LIMA CONFERENCE HE Pan American Conference at Lima, © Peru will have a far-reaching influence RS because it revealed the underlying unity ESSER of the two Americas — North and South and the devotion of the people of both Conti- nents to democracy. The significance of this solidarity is heightened by the confusion, inter- national anarchy and violence which prevail in Europe and Asia at the present time. “The Declaration of Lima” which came as the climax of the third plenary session of the Con- ference proclaimed that the Americas would un- doubtedly carry on their own affairs in their own countries without interference and would stand together against any attempt to introduce any alien system of totalitarian nationalism into this hemisphere and against foreign propaganda. A resolution was also adopted condemning political propaganda by foreign minorities resulting in any sovereign state. It was evident that the “good neighbor” policy has won the confidence of Latin America. I was particularly interested in the commission on intellectual cooperation. Our State Depart- ment at Washington has placed on its staff for this service Dr. Ben Cherrington at one time Secretary of the Student Department of the International Committee of the Y. M. C. A. This commission brought in thirty-two projects for cultural and intellectual cooperation between the Americas. The most significant was the inter-change of students and professors. Spring- field College has long followed this practice. There are now some fifteen or more Latin Ameri- can Alumni serving in Latin America. Upon leaving the boat at Lima, I was cordially greeted with a Spanish embrace by A. L. Valdez, a very popular member of the class of 1922. I remem- bered him well for at Springfield he had once suggested that when we sing “America the Beautiful” we might well think of both North and South America especially in the chorus, “America, America, God shed his grace on thee and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.” Valdez was for fifteen years director of physical education for the public schools of Peru. During this period he established a modern system of physical education adapted to the tropics and based scientifically on hygiene, corrective gym- nastics and recreative group games. He has established physical training as an integral part of education and placed the physical directorship on a professional basis by establishing a school of physical education which now has a three-year course and 100 students. He is now on the physi- cal staff of San Marco University. I also met Dr. Carlos Caseres Alvarez, who was a Springfield Summer School student in 1916 and who is blem, the red triangle, on a prominent street over the door of the Lima Y. M. C. A., which carries on a full program for young men in “Body, Mind, and Spirit.” Laurence L. Doccerr VARSITY SPORTS The basketball team has opened its season with a promising start, having won the first three games on its regular schedule. It defeated Mass. State, New Hampshire, and Worcester Polytech. The game at Worcester, won in the extra period, was very exciting. Worcester was leading — the score was 52-51. The gun announced the end of the game just after the ball had left the hands of Dick Redding. The ball looped through the air and settled in the basket, winning for Spring- field with a one point margin. The swimming team started its season by de- feating Conn. State 49-26. It lost to Harvard 16-59 and was nosed out by Bowdoin in the relay race in a match the score of which was 37-38. The National. Baseball Centennial will be celebrated at Cooperstown, N. Y. this summer, the town in which the great American game was originated. The inventor of the game was Abner Double- day, later Major-General Abner Doubleday of the Civil War fame. A game between Springfield College and Hartwick College has been announced on the program of the Centennial for June 3, 1939 on Doubleday Field. Lester G.

Best Allen Picks Oklahoma Cagers To Win Big Six Hope for the future, rather than® |optimism, was expressed yesterday | by Dr. F. C. Allen, coach of the Jay- hawk cagers, in remarks on the Big Six outlook in general and the Kan- sas team in particular. “Already we have lost two out of our first three games played,” said Dr. Allen. “This is as many games as we have lost the whole season last year—two out of twenty. We will: lose several more games this year. The Oklahoma Aggie games were very similar to our experience with Drake last year. We lost to Drake University of the same con- ference later in December by about the same difference in points. But we play these early season games for experience. “Our final goal,” Dr. Allen added, “is the Big Six conference champ- ionship play which starts Jan. 7. ‘Personally, I would rather lose every pre-season game on the schedule than to lose a Big Six championship ‘game.

Own Service.y Cotumera, Mo., March 3.—Two _| hundred leaders representing every phase of Missouri life met here to- day for a 2-day session looking to’ the adoption of a state-wide pro- gram of industrial expansion and promotion of Missouri resources. The meeting is the initial step in a movement designed to place Mis- souri in the forefront of states seck- ing to capitalize on New and revo- lutionary shifts in industry and population. | “The present drift is obviously to | the west and the south,” said Hugh i Stephens of Jefferson City, state highway and civic leader. . “We are the erossroads of the continent with much to offer and with a trend in our direction. We must work out ways and means to Capitalize on the opportunity. “Few. states have achieved so much as Missouri with so little tan- gible co-operation between groups. | None has a better balanced combi- nation of year ’round climate coupled with natural resources, di- versified agriculture. industrial pro- duction, transportation facilities and recreational appeal.” NEED FULL CO-OPERATION. This achievement, Stephens ex->, plained, had been in the form of highways, education, recreation, so~ cial advancement and other prog- ress, rather than in bringing new facilities and development from the Outside into the state. It would take an integrated, state-wide movement, divorced from all selfish or sectional interests, he said, to do the work now necessary, >| Stephens and other leaders spoke *|in support of the proposal to revive _}and enlarge the state chamber of commerce, the occasion of the meet- ing. The moyement was explained by George F. Olendorf of Spring- field, chamber president, and Her- _'|man L. Traber of Kansas City out- ‘| lined a proposed 5-year program of ‘| state-wide development, advertising | ‘-|and other promotion’ to make Mis- souri advantages known throughout .| the country. How. other states were spending poses was shown by John M. Guild |of Kansas City. For instance, Cali- fornia has a state chamber budget of $650,000 and spends nearly $550,- 000 for advertising annually. Twenty- one other states spend amounts ranging from $50,000 to ten times jandpromotion ie large sums of money for these pur- | that sum for research, advertising CHAMBER BUDGET OF $25,000. In Missouri it is proposed to have a chamber budget of about $25,000 and to provide much larger amounts for the development work. It is hoped to get a legislative appropria- | provided. ; Moreland Brown, president of the newly organized Travel in Missouri association, said New York state within a few years built up its annual tourist business from 200 million dollars to more than 400 mil- ' |lion, Reports showed, he said, that for every dollar spent in this form was brought into a state. Missourians spent 135 million dol- lars a year in tourist travel, it was shown, but only 35 million of it within the state. Others who spoke in support of the Missouri development program: Dwight H.

This Fourth! Place Matter pe fourth place fuss with Kansas City has our Leigh- ton Hap Emms in a twit. He isn’t dashing about nib- bling at his nails. Nor does he otherwise advertise the nervous tension under which he’s living. His grin’s still infectious, and his’ voice is as friendly and warm as a napping spot on the south side of the barn on a bright May afternoon. But watch him handle his cigar. He frays it with his teeth. He neglects to touch fire to the tip. He hasn’t much farther to go with his cigar before he’ll be faithfully emulating old Pa Schulte. Pa, as the world knows, used to eat a large portion of Pittsburgh’s annual stogie out- put. : * * * Hockey’s That Way H* said yesterday that Oma- ha is taking the Knights’ presence in the playoffs as a feat already accomplished. He added that he wished to heaven it were. But it’s far from that, and as evidence he pointed to what Kansas City did to Minneapolis Monday night. Alert and aggressive again after having floundered for 10 days in a slump that was greeted with happy yips of joy in this neighborhood, Kansas City licked Minneapolis, 8 to 3. That’s one intriguing—and dis- tressing—aspect: of this hockey game. Without warning, and seemingly without reason, a team becomes unable to lick anybody. Then just as suddenly and-unforecast, the team be- comes able to lick almost every- - bodys * * & So Viva Hickey! ASKET BALL—even _ this rn ; owe " Senseless scarom—offers something of a parallel. At least the marvelous Dr. Allen insisted Tuesday that it did. And likely Dr. Allen could haye obtained indorsement of his views from Edgar S. Hickey, whose pupils on Monday night punctuated with’ an outsize exclamation point the end of a season that must stand as a -tribute to Mr. Hickey’s talent for. policing undergraduate males. Mr. Hickey’s wards beat the -~marvelous Dr. Allen’s specialists by two points, a happening - which was logically and easily explainable by both winners and ‘losers as further evidence of the unpredictability of basket ball. ; inder Aces May Be Idle Weather Is Bother to Coach Jones World-Herald Bureau 122 North Fourteenth Street, Lincoln, March 6. Tuesday might just as well have been blue Monday as far as Me- morial stadium was concerned.

Track Coaches Ed Weir and Har- old Petz reached for a pair of cry- ing towels as they surveyed pros- pects for a victory in'the Big Six indoor championships this week. . » The Major and his gridsters, one hundred strong, worked out in- doors hoping another day of dry-. ing weather will permit outside chores. Weir and Petz were giving track hopefuls a final warmup prior. to tapering off for week-end assign- ments. Jack Benger, Callaway sophomore, and Lloyd Wright, co- champion in the one hundred yard sprint, were in suit. However, each must. clear scholastic hurdles before making the trip. Coaches Weir and Petz report they have only an outside chance. Of more concern was the injury to Harold Hunt, sophomore vault- | er who shared the: Illinois relay title and is unbeaten this season.

Monday’s game on the Hilltop was a break between . last Friday’s successful subjuga- tion of Missouri and this com- ing Friday’s crucial contest with Oklahoma at Norman. If what happens at Norman is to Kansans’ liking Dr. Allen’s proteges will cinch their umpty- teenth conference championship after as dramatic a late-season sweep as ever was presented on maple footing. If what happens at ‘Norman fails to please Kansans, then we'll be treated to the novel sight. of. conference stands in- volving six teams that include only two: positions -—— first and last. Nebraska, Kansas State and Iowa State already are perma-~ nently tied for fourth. If Okla- homa manages to defeat the Jay- hawkers, then Oklahoma, the Jayhawkers and. Missouri will be tied — first. AP’ EMMS is pleased that the performances of his hockey team have so interested Oma- hans and other Nebraskans. | The very fact that the cus- tomers have practically adopted the boys and built such high hopes for the finish of their first season causes Hap to be much concerned over what may hap- pen if the boys fail to get there. And it’s possible that they won't get there, in spite of their ardent effort that doesn’t end when they leave the ice. Each and every member of the squad thinks of little ‘else than the games remaining. Each and every member directs his daily life toward the single goal —the playoffs. One large factor that is like- ly to count in the Knights’ favor is their superb physical condi- tion. * ok * Why We Fret ‘THINK Hap frets needlessly over the pay-trade’s reaction if fourth place proves: a notch. too high. We're going to be happy if the boys qualify for the post-season series, but if they fail we'll still feel mighty kindly toward them. They have given us a new sport, a new medium of recre- ation, a new interest. We want ’em back next year. If we're fretting about anything it’s. the possibility that some National league club has been so impressed with Hap’s’ success during his first term. as boss . that he won’t be back. © iiss wk Frederick Ware, Sports Editor.
