and dollars.

Opus Begins Quest For Literary Talent

At a luncheon meet ing held in the Chat ternook on Sep tember 21, the new staff of Opus ga the red f o r the first t ime th i s year in o rder to discuss the policies, content , and l i te rary aspi ra t ions of Hope 's lit-e rary annual f o r 1957, as well as the more mundane m a t t e r s of fi-nancing and pr in t ing . Ed i to r Dave Cassie presided over the discussion, which included Sharon Croswell, Jane Gouwens, Sewell Hayes , and Leon Rowell of the editorial board, a r t edi tors Diane Johnson and J im Clark, and f acu l ty advisors Dr. Ta lber t and Mr. Prins .

Opus Edi tor Cassie outlined plans fo r a la rger and more diversified magaz ine this year in order to represent a wider range of creat ive in teres ts than has been possible before. A pho tography section and a section f o r original rel igious musical compositions will be nota-ble innovations in Opus ' usual f a r e of essays , shor t fiction, poe t ry , and a r t work. A new pr in t ing technique to be employed this yea r will make possible the reproduct ion of both photography and a r t work in ha l f -tone, enabling Opus to accept pen-cil d rawings f o r the a r t section in addit ion to c rayon and pen-and-ink.

Summer Travelers Begin Tale (/ /-, J ) o * l / f " ^

Of Varied Experiences Abroad (Note: During the summer, a number of Hope students availed themselves

of the college's Summer Tour Program, and travelled to Europe with Dr. Paul

Fried and Dr. Donald Brown. From all reports, it would seem that the trip

was. in most ways, a magnificent success. In order that the tremendous wealth

of experience and observation gained in Europe might be shared with those

unable to make the trip in person, several of the members of the tour have

kindly consented to describe their experiences in writing. These articles, of

which the following by Don Van La re is the first, will appear in serial form

in this and succeeding issues of the ANCHOR. The next issue will contain an

article by Judy Rypma on experiences in Vienna. Austria, where the group

spent several weeks studying and sight-seeing. The ANCHOR is deeply grateful

to these volunteer writers for their contribution to cultural life at Hope College.

- ED.)

There she was I There was the Roma — our passage to Europe. She was not an impressive-looking ship, but to us, it didn' t ma t t e r . The hust le and bustle of the people on the pier, the exci tement of meet ing

f r i ends f r o m school who were also going, and the fa rewel l s to f r i ends and relat ives deceived us into th inking she was the Queen Mary. In

real i ty , it was the smallest and probably the slowest ship of the Lauro Lines.

The call of "vis i tors a sho re" over the intercom informed us t ha t the t ime of depar tu re had arr ived. The gangp lank was lowered; the tug -boats s trained at thei r lines; We were off!!! Slowly, the boat moved away f rom the pier, leaving the m u r k y wate r of the r iver in i ts place. The ship, under i ts own power,moved slowly down the Hud-son River. We passed lower Man-h a t t a n ; we passed the S ta tue of Liberty, which was a most im-pressive s ight as it stood out aga in s t the dark blue sky. The call to lunch woke us up to the f a c t tha t it was twelve for ty-f ive, and exci tement or no, we were s t a rved!

On our way, to Genoa, I taly, we s topped off at Lisbon, Por tuga l and Barcelona, Spain. We had only three hours in each city, which is, needless to say, insufficient t ime to see much. We arr ived a t Genoa late in the evening on Ju ly fou r th , jus t eleven days out f r o m New York City. We were detained in Genoa fo r twen ty - four hours by customs officials, who had im-pounded the f o u r German Volks-wagen "micro-busses" which were to be our means of t r anspor ta t ion dur ing our tour of Europe . It was not until dusk of the fol lowing day tha t all of the red- tape had been cut away, the busses loaded, the fa rewel l s made between the two g roups which were to separa te there, and we were ready to go. Our dest inat ion was Milan, I ta ly . Cathedrals , Pizza, and a Cat Fight

Tired and hungry , we arr ived in Milan around midnight . A f t e r leav-ing our bags a t the hotel, we rushed to see the Milan Cathedral , which we hoped would still be l ighted. Instead, we saw the f a in t outline of the ca thedra l si lhouetted aga ins t the midnight sky, a f t e r which we satisfied our hunger with pizza in a nearby r e s t au ran t . The usual conversation of such a meal was in ter rupted by an ant ic ipated fight between a dog and a cat which had taken r e f u g e under our table. The cat relieved the tense s i tuat ion by making a quick and not too g race fu l exit via the back door. It was one- thi r ty before we took our weary bones to bed.

The group was up br igh t and ear ly the next morning. We had only until ten o'clock to see Milan by dayl ight , so it was impara t ive tha t we got an ear ly s t a r t . The first place of in te res t f o r all was the Cathedral . The beau ty and magnificience of th is bui lding can-not be described in as f e w words as I am alloted here. F rom here, the in teres ts of the g roup var ied. Some went to daVinci 's immor ta l pa in t ing of the Las t Supper ; some

Anchor Policy We believe that a college newspaper should be three things: an

objective reporter of the news, a stimulator of student thought, and a

means for the expression of student and faculty opinion on controversial

subjects. To the latter end, we invite letters to the editor, which we will

print if the letter does not violate good taste and if space permits.

Needless to say, the thoughts expressed in such letters can reflect only

the views of the author, and cannot be supposed to be representative of

the opinions of either the staff of the Anchor or the student body as a

whole. Signed editorials may be considered expressions of staff opinion,

and we invite disagreement with them. We are not trying to force our

opinions on anyone. As we see it. our one editorial mission is to cause

our readers to think about what we say.

The Purpose of Chapel (Editor's Note: Following is the chapel address delivered by Dr. William

Vander Lugt, Dean of the College, on September 20. Partially because we

believe that it deserves a wider audience and partly because we think that it

merits re-reading and reflection during the school year, we are reprinting it.)

This is the second of our r egu l a r Chapel services. There will be,

the Lord willing, one hundred and fifty more. W h a t a re these twenty-minute Chapel periods to mean to u s ? I would say they are t remend-ously impor t an t f o r the reason tha t as a college we read and listen to the Word of God. I hope the re will be litt le, if any , preaching. P reach ing is to be done by preachers on o ther occasions.

Gerald Kennedy tells us t h a t it t akes courage to read the Bible. I t is impossible to really read it without fee l ing as if a f r e s h breeze were flowing th rough your life. The routine and boredom is blown away, and in i ts place comes an exhi la ra t ing sense of t h e wonder and miracle of life. The Bible is the g r ea t awakener . I t b r ings us face to face wi th God. It judges us and is too f a r beyond us to make our j udgmen t s of it any th ing but p resumptuous .

The Bible is not a set of rules defining our re la t ionship to God, but if we read it a r igh t it c rea tes an environment so t h a t His Spir i t can act upon us directly. The Bible a f f i rms the act ivi ty of God in his tory. The men in the Bible had an inescapable conviction t h a t they had been confronted by God. Take, f o r example, Jacob in the Scr ip ture passage of the morning. Jacob doesn ' t tell us about knowing God as an object of reflective thought . He encountered God himself and was drawn into a re la t ionship with Him in which he was known, judged and loved. God was his ever present Lord and companion.

The Bible doesn ' t tell us about g rasp ing principles or propositions. On the cont rary , i t is the tes t imony of men who were grasped by God

in the midst of the crucial and everyday events of the i r lives. God revealed Himself in concrete s i tuat ions where men were living. As

then, so today. The Bible, the re fo re , mus t not be read f o r the reason tha t we may learn about Jacob or David or Paul and the i r encounters with God. But as Jacob was grasped , so we must be g rasped . As Jacob exlaimed, "Surely God is in th i s place!" we must realize t h a t God is in th is place. Jacob added, " I knew it not ."

If you want me to give the reason f o r our Chapel services, i t is t ha t we may know t h a t as we go f o r t h to do our work as college s tudents and facu l ty , t h a t God has g rasped us, t ha t he knows us, t h a t he loves us. Tha t consciousness, and only t ha t , gives l i fe i tself , and also our own individual t a s k and the work of the college, meaning and value.

I a m not say ing t h a t we shall see no mean ing in life unless we toge the r read and l is ten to God's Word a t the beginning of each day. God speaks to us as we read i t individually in our p r iva t e and fami ly devotions. Therefore , we m i g h t a r g u e t h a t i t i sn ' t absolutely necessary to have these Chapel services, t h a t God can speak to us as individuals. Yes, he can and does, but likewise i t isn ' t absolutely necessary t o a t tend college to ge t the equivalent of a college education. Yet i t is the mos t reasonable and the most common way. I t is the way mos t of us obtain it. So, I would say i t is also the most reasonable w a y f o r us as a

"Pot Frosh" — But Then Get Back Up! This is directed p r imar i ly to the f r e shman , bu t upperclassmen

(including sophomores) may also read it if they like. As you a re no doubt a w a r e by now, you have become (or a re becoming) members of the Hope College community . Like all changes, this process has cer ta in "growing pains" connected wi th it.

The pains r e fe r red to a re most commonly fe l t in the knees about the third day of " ini t ia t ion." This all comes as quite a shock to you f rosh , of course, f o r you a re accustomed to the most helpful kind of t r e a t m e n t f rom upperc lassmen. We commonly tell you a t the All-College Mixer t ha t " the honeymoon is over."

But ( to use a phrase I wish I had thought of ), a l though the "honeymoon is over" , the " m a r r i a g e is beginning." You will have a difficult t ime believing it, bu t in ten years the ant ics of init iation week, which probably seem a bit i r r i t a t ing (menta l ly and o therwise) now, will s tand out as some of the fondest memories which you will recall as "old g r a d s . "

So take the f u n in the spir i t in which it is intended, and then, when the pot t ing is over, get up, brush tha t green cap f rom your eyes, and speak up fo r your opinions. You're no longer " t h a t class," you're Hopei tes now. The benefits of a college education a re a t your fee t . If you're not too sore around the knees, you can begin picking them up immediately!

college to come to the recognition tha t we are led by God. Here each morning as members of the college community we acknowledge t h a t God is a reali ty not only to us as individuals, but to us as a college. If you a re par t of the college and do not par t ic ipate in this college act ivi ty you are not only se t t ing l imits to your own experience, but to

the work of the ent i re college. The pa r t and the whole are in t imate ly related. "Can the foot say to the body, I have no need of t h e e ? " I hope you will make ful l use of the oppor tuni t ies the college offers so t h a t you may be able to say, "Sure ly the Lord is in this place, and I know-it ."

Inside Kollen Dorm A group of weekly happenings and goings on in Kollen Hall

If you ever walk down the halls of our new men ' s dorm, you can ' t help being en te r ta ined and amused by the a r r a y of comical s igns posted on the doors.

Such notices r ange f r o m the semi-ser ious: "Keep Out ," "No Trespass ing , "Men Work ing ," and "No Smoking ," to the rival view-points expressed in "No Girls Al-lowed," and "Gir l Wanted , " the la t ter sign probably being borrowed f rom some unsuspec t ing (and un-ders ta f fed) ea t e ry .

And speak ing of wan t ing girls , many of us cliff dwellers could really use a maid , or reasonable facsmile , to keep tha t inch or so of dus t f rom g a t h e r i n g on our floors.

Any of fe rs?

Most of us en joy the wonderful music t h a t is hea rd floating th rough the halls . Sunday a f t e rnoons a re the per fec t t ime f o r re laxing to a p re t ty good Wes t e rn - type s inger , accompanied by a twang ing uke. It ac tual ly sounds p re t t y good, and maybe we'll come to apprec ia te hillbilly music more fu l ly some day.

Someone on the th i rd floor plays a crazy, cool be-bop t rombone, too. Also, in many rooms, I hear o ther ins t ruments . Get together , men, and leave us have a jam-session. (Excuse me, I mean "concer t , " of course!) But du r ing day t ime hours only, please! O.K., fe l las .

T h a t ' s about all f o r now, but I'll be back wi th more news next t ime. — Ed Tenhor

Sororities Meet,

Bid, & Fete Pledges Hope's sororities initiated the

year 's events a t their traditional house parties held during the open-ing week of college. Old members were reunited a f t e r the long sum-mer vacation, and the sophomore girls were bid. The pledges, having received their bids, are now being welcomed into the sororities.

Delta Phi entertained their new pledges a t an informal tea held a t the home of Dr. and Mrs. J . Dyke van Putten last Saturday. Chair-man of the gather ing was Deanna Deas. The formal pledge dinner will be held in early October, a f t e r the pledging of t r ans fe r students.

Last Friday the Dorians greeted their new pledges at a formal pledge dinner held in Cumerford's. Barbara Wolfe, Pat Parker, and Jo Ann Van Lierop were in charge of this annual event.

The Sibs were also among the first to welcome the pledges. The occasion was the pledge dinner held last Friday in Holland. The Sibs have planned a bike hike fo r active members and pledges to be held Saturday, Sept. 29th. Departure time is 6:30 A.M.

Sorosis held an informal meeting last Monday to officially greet their new pledges. Last night, a t the Hub res taurant in Zeeland, the pledges were honored at the formal dinner. Ellie Bylsma and Marlene Hartger ink planned the affair .

With Homecoming fas t approch-ing, pledges and actives will be spending much t ime preparing fo r the traditional events. The activi-ties of the sororities for the Home-coming celebration include the con-struction of a float to be displayed in the parade and, also, a luncheon to welcome back the Alumni.

Feted and Flouted! "Pot Frosh" has once again in-

vaded the vocabulary of Hope Col-lege students. Green to the ways of college life, f reshmen are strug-gling to make the transit ion f rom royal guests to servitude in the desperate at tempt to eventually achieve the s ta tus of college stu-dents.

Introduction to their fellow plebes came at the Freshman Mixer held in the Civic Center where amidst balloons and newspaper costumes they demonstrated their originality and conviviality under the direction of Lois Bos. The thrill of singing around the campfire at the Y beach party will remain a fond memory in the background of those first few days of confusion. Thursday eve-ning they became officially indoc-trinated concerning campus organi-zations. Mary Ann Vollink chair-maned this event which was an auspicious one since the frosh chose their class leaders — their first symbol of unity.

But the All-College Mixer Friday night brought a rude awakening when the frosh discovered tha t sophomores had keen memories, particularly memories of last year 's mixer. Barb van Putten was in charge of the a r rangements for the evening in which frosh were cast into their appropriate role. Kan-garoo Court brought new revela-tions of the conspicuous degrada-tion and humility of college f resh-men. Ted Redding supervised the administration of justice according to the ancient traditions of the campus. General chairman of the Freshman Orientation Program fo r the Student Council was Lois Hoeksema.

Only time will reveal whether or not the Class of '60 will find a niche of honor among the other renowned scholars of the past. Al-though it be through the slime of Black River or the tedious re-hearsals for Nykerk Cup, it is hoped tha t the green frosh will someday soon discard their green and join the ranks of the orange and blue.

ENROUTE VIENNA . . . (Continued from page 1)

went to the opera house; some went shopping, and some just wan-dered through the streets of Milan. We all met again at the hotel at ten o'clock, and were soon loaded up and on our way to Venice.

The road took us through the flat f a rming land of northern Italy. Only occasionally could we see ris-ing into the hazy sky the foothills of the Italian Alps. Little towns with a church steeple raised above them often dotted the landscape.

We stopped a few minutes in Verona to see an old Roman am-phitheater, and then it was off again to Venice, which we reached late in the evening. Af t e r storing the busses, we took a bus (in Venice, a motor launch) down the Grand Canal and past Saint Mark's Square. The strangeness and beauty of the lights shining on the waters of the canal and the beautiful old buildings which seemed to rise right out of the water were f a r beyond our expectations. None of us had seen anything like it before. Venice: A Combination of Opposites

What is so wonderful about Venice? I am sure the whole group would agree tha t it is not just one thing tha t makes Venice so im-pressive, but a combination of op-posites: The indescribable beauty of St. Mark's Cathedral and the quaintness of the small churches; the magnitude of crowded St. Mark's Square with i ts sidewalk cafe and the numerous tiny squares, almost empty, which dot the city; the magnificience of the Ducal Palace and the plainness of the commoners' houses; t h e w i d e , crowded walk along the Grand Canal with its many hurrying gon-doliers, and the narrow canals with one or two gondolas, moving slowly along; and the idea tha t all of this is as it was hundreds of years ago all make Venice the wonderful city that it is. It is a city of the Middle Ages preserved fo r the people of the Twentieth Century.

Af te r the two tremendous days in Venice, it was again time to load up the busses and s t a r t out. Our destination was Vienna. We con-tinued our drive through the plain of northern Italy, although in a northerly direction instead of the eastern tack we had taken from Milan to Venice.

By early afternoon, we could see the foothills of the Italian Alps in the distance. As we continued, the valley grew narrower, and the river which we were following, feeling the pinch of this shrinking, also became more narrow. The hills on both sides rose higher. We started to climb. Everyone was peering first out of one side of the bus and then the other to see the beautiful scenery of the nearing Alps. Some of the higher peaks had traces of snow on them. Half-way through the mountains, we passed f rom Italy into Austria. I t was late af ternoon when we reached Klagenfurt , the midway point to Vienna, and our stopping place fo r the night. A f t e r either going swimming in the nearby lake or walking through the city, we all turned in.

Vienna: Coming "Home"

Ear ly the next morning, we con-tinued our journey through the breath-taking mountains of south-ern Austr ia . Midway in the morn-ing, we took a side-trip of a short distance to see an old castle. On one side, we could see another castle, and on the other, the ruins of still another. All during the morning, we saw ruins of many additional castles on the sides of the mountains. By mid-afternoon, we had reached the valley of the Danube. The flatness of the valley was a sharp contrast to the tower-ing mountains in the region we had

'56 Homecoming Theme Announced The annual Hope College Home-

In keeping with the present-day plethora of peeks into the fu ture , Hope's 28th annual Homecoming will fea ture as its theme, "Fu ture Fantasy." Festive Martians will abound in the Saturday morning parade and over the house and dormitory decorations will hover fur t ive f lying saucers.

At 8:00 P.M. a t the Civic Center on Friday evening the golden crown of the new era will be received by Her Majesty, the Queen. Then Her Majesty and her court will preside at a party, the cost of which will be two dollars a couple — inter-planetary currency.

The half-time ceremony will fea ture that current favori te of the Solar Sys-tem Hit Parade, the Hope College Band. Also, the Queen will an-nounce winners and present tro-phies and space ship passes to the

just left. Excitement mounted as we neared our destination. We would soon be in Vienna, the center of Western European culture, the glamourous capital of Austria, and our "home town" for the next few weeks.

Princes Lack Noblesse Oblige; Spoil Dutch Opener 41-12 ^ •

Even though Hope t Dutch were knocked off 41-12 by Heidelberg last Saturday, the game was actual-ly considerably closer than the line score indicated. For example, both teams made the same number of first downs (13) and Hope trailed only slightly in ground yardage (207 to 178) — Note: Heidelberg is ranked number one in the nation in small college football.

* ' * *

Several Hope men incurred in-juries during the game. Halfback Mert Vanderlind suffered a side injury, but its extent was not known by this writer. Captain and fullback Dave Kuyers will submit his sprained ankle to whirlpool t reatments this week, and if the ankle responds well.

In ter f ra tern i ty sports will begin sometime in the near fu ture , the fall competition being in touch foot-ball, tennis, and golf. The Cosmos will be out to retain the coveted All-Sports Trophy which they won in last year 's extremely close race. The Fra te r s and Arkies who also were contenders r ight through 'til the end, will be t rying to snatch it away. The Emmies will be tough, too, and the Knicks will be the spoilers. This column will indicate the team standings as the year goes on. For the benefit of f resh-men and other new students, the Seminary and the Independents field teams but do not receive points and thus are not included in the standings.

IntramuralstoSwing Into Action Soon

The Fall Intramural program is beginning to make headway under the direction of Tom Harr is and Jim Cooper. An organizational meeting was held this past week with all the intramural managers being present, and the main topic of discussion was where the fall football program should be held. If a suitable sight cannot be located, football may have to be abandoned for one year until the campus ex-pansion has ceased.

Football, always one of the high-lights of intramurals , is organized into a league of seven teams; one from each f ra te rn i ty and repre-sentatives f rom the Seminary and the Independents. Each team plays six games, one each against the other teams in the league." The Sem and the Indies are not included in the final s tandings in regard to the All Sports Trophy. The teams to beat should once again be the Arkies and the Fraters , last year 's co-champs w i t h identical 5-1-0 records.

Tennis will be represented by two singles men and a doubles team from each f ra tern i ty , the Seminary, and the Independents. Last year Dennis Camp, an Indie, defeated the Fra te r ' s Dave Bosch 6-3, 6-3 to gain the singles crown, and Dwight Riemersma and Dave Spaan also of the Fra ters were de-feated by the Sem team of Sam Hoffman and Lou Benes 6-3, 6-1. The Fra te r s are the defending champs as they squeaked out a Vt point win over the Seminary.

Golf will again be held at the Saugatuck Golf Course with the champion Cosmos t rying to retain their position a t the top of the heap. Golf teams consist of three men from each f ra tern i ty . These three men get together with three other men and play a total of 27 holes. They are playing against each other as teams as the team score is the only thing that counts

Harrier Prospects Seem Promising

With the strong nucleus of last year 's cross country team, which finished the conference in 4th place, Hope's outlook fo r success this year is surely not on the dim side. Herb Widmer, returning senior captain. Jack Walchenbach, Ron Den Uyl, and Carroll Bennink form this strong base which with a little help from the new men should be rough on the opposition. All are seniors except Bennink who is a sopho-more.

Fighting fo r the remaining point position on the squad are Fred Leaske and John Needham, sopho-mores, Harry Wister, a promising freshman, along with Bill Swarts and Andy Felix. If these men could now get a little help from the re-mainder of the Student Body, it would really help create a champ-ionship team. A full squad consists of twelve men and as everyone can see Hope has only an nine man team. There is still a lot of room on the team, and of course,, im-provement is always appreciated.

The thinclads under the coaching of Dr. Larry Green will again com-pete in ten meets, including the all important conference meet. Grand Rapids Junior College provides Hope with its first meet of the season on Tuesday, October 2nd, at the American Legion Conntry Club and the team hopes tha t the student body will support their spirited efforts with a generous turnout.

in the final standings. If football is not to be played

this fall, vollyball may be put in its place, thus easing the winter Intramural Athletic load.

The All-Sports Champion Cosmos are again looking forward to an-other great year, but the competi-tion f rom the other four f ra te rn i -ties should be very keen. We are all looking forward to another ex-citing year of Intramural athletics.

Hope College's Dutchmen went down to defeat before the powerful second-half onslaught of Heidelberg College. The Student Princes, a f te r holding a slim 7-6 half-time lead, broke loose and scored five times in the second half to dump Hope 41-12 in the season's opener.

Heidelberg displayed the power that made it one of the nation's top small college teams in 1955. The Student Princes were unbeaten in nine games last year as they carried off the Ohio Conference championship.

Hope scored first in the contest when Dave Kuyers broke away for forty-five yards down to the .two yard line. Kuyers carried the ball across f o r the touchdown on the third play of the second quar ter . Dave missed the t ry fo r extra point.

The Dutch held off the Student Princes and things looked br ight until a pass f rom center for a punt was fumbled and Heidelberg took over on the midfield stripe with three minutes remaining in the first half. It took the Student Princes only eight plays to push across the tying touchdown and then convert the extra point to take a 7-6 lead.

Thus the Dutch left the field at half time trai l ing one of the best small college teams by one point. During tha t half the men of Hope had played very fine ball and ap-peared to be outcharging Heidel-berg. However, in the second half Heidelberg showed just why they are rated so highly by taking full advantage of every mistake made by the Dutchmen.

On the third play of the third quar ter Little Ail-American half-back Walt Livingston streaked be-hind the Hope defense and grabbed a pass fo r a touchdown and a 14-6 lead. This play seemed to break the Dutch and gave the Student Princes the impetus they needed. Heidelberg played excellent ball f rom that point and took full ad-vantage of long punt returns, in-tercepted passes, and mental lapses to build up a 34-6 lead before Hope could get a sustained drive going in the final period.

The Dutch returned a kick-off to their own 39 yard line and then began the drive fo r their second touchdown. Halfback Peter Wat t climaxed the 61 yard march by crashing over for the score f rom a yard out. Watt ' s t ry for the extra point was missed and Hope trailed 34-12.

Heidelberg closed out the scoring by pushing across a touchdown with only five seconds remaining to top the Dutch by 41-12.

The Team From Crawfordsville

Hope Colleges gridiron s talwarts faced the "Little Giants" of Wa-bash College in the home opener Saturday night. The Dutchmen met the Wabash gridders for the first time in history in what was a real test for both teams.

Wabash, a college composed of 600 men, is located in Crawfords-ville, Indiana. The "Litt le Giants" are not affiliated with any confer-ence as they prefer to schedule teams from all areas of the mid-west. Out of this college have come some of the outstanding small col-lege teams in recent years.

This year's Wabash roster in-cludes thirty-five upper classmen and twenty freshmen. Included on the squad are twelve returning lettermen f rom last year 's team, which had a record of five wins, three losses, and one tie.

The Wabash forward wall ave-rages 202 pounds and is anchored by tackle Bill Shoaf who tips the scales at 250 pounds. He was rated first team All-State before entering the service in 1954.

In order to strengthen the back-field Coach Garland Frazier is con-verting end Tom Hankinson, 1955 Little All-State player, into a left halfback. Leading runner on the squad will probably be southpaw right halfback Bill Gabbert who averaged 4.3 yards per carry and scored six touchdowns last season. Quarterback Vic Landovisl will probably handle most of the pass-ing having completed 38 passes in 72 a t tempts fo r 682 yards and 8 touchdowns. The fullback chores will be handled by Tom Marchando, a regular guard on last years team. • Thus • the "Lit t le Giants" should have a powerful backfield averaging 182 pounds.

The Wabash gridders were very impressive last week when they walloped Albion by a 26-7 score in their season opener. Their split-T offense proved to be too powerful for the Britons as the "Little Giants" scored twice on the ground and twice thru the air. Hope's de-fense got a real test in the home opener fo r the 1956 gridiron season.
