In this columnist’s opinion the
first string Bulldogs will be chos-
en from the following men: Car-
ter, Sprain, Baenziger, Boenig,
Linne, Bergman, and Vetter.
* * *
Carter and Boenig are display-
ing lots of fire and “jinger” in
the forward positions.
* * *
Baenziger and Vetter are some
mighty classy looking guards.
* * *
In other words: Prospects are
rosy for a successful season.
* * *
Coach Jack will have to develop
some new material in girls bas-
ketball, before the team will meas-
ure up to the high standard set
by his national contenders of
1930-1931.
* * *
We do not know whether or not
his prospects are good—but we
have all kinds of faith in Coach
Doerfler.

Southern Methodist University
has arranged a post-season game
with the School of Minnesota at
El Paso. According to press dis-
patches the El Paso boys were not
very enthusiastic about the game.
If this is true, S. M. U. may be
able to revive some of the wan-
ing glory. We “dope” the Metho-
dists to win.

The New York. Giants are hav-
ing difficulty in securing players
from other clubs. They claim
there is a frame-up to keep them
at the bottom of the list. They
should remember that baseball
as played in major leagues is a
business not a sport, and should
develop their own players through
a chain of smaller teams.

The old question of whether
college or professional football
teams are superior has been sat-
isfactorily settled in my mind by
v^n article written by “Red”
Grange.”
Gri'ange has played college foot-
ball and is now playing profes-
sional football. He believes that
an average professional team could
defealf* an average college team,
listing among others the follow-
ing reasons:
1. In professional clubs, money
secures the best players available.
2. The players are older and
more experienced.
3. The average weight is great-
er.
4. The professional players are
calmer and cooler than college
players, who are pepped up by an
excited alumni.
5. Professionals have learned
to conserve their strength.
Perhaps I am not qualified to
judge, but the fact that the Green
Boy Packers’ entire team averages
220 pounds leads me to believe
that Mr. Grange knows whereof
he speaks.
College Has Visitor
Scene: Student jaintor busily
sweeping.
Time: Five a. m.
Plot: The student is sweeping
away at his task, not noticing a
thing around him. What? .. . he
hears somethink. What does it
sound like?...It goes pit-i-pat,
pit-i-pat, thud! pit-i-pat, pit-i-
pat, thud! The student nervous-
ly an dreluctantly turns his head
to view ithe horrid lion, tiger,
bear, sea-lion, whale, or what have
you. He gets half way but turns
back quickly so that he can figure
out an escape. The noise con-
tinues. It comes closer! He can’t
move. His legs shake! “Mama,”
he crys. It touches his leg. He
looks down. “Nice kitty,” he mur-
murs as he pets the kitten's head.

Convocation
Review
Oreon Howell, Lorene Kroesche,
Lawrence Vetter, and Alex Green-
wood went to Gonzales over the
week-end*
On Wednesday, November 23rd,
Prof. Kuhlmann delivered a very
interesting lecture to the student
body. He chose as his subject,
“John Wesley and the Significance
of Methodism.”
John Wesley was a great reli-
gious leader, one of the greatest
of all times. Almost single-hand-
ed, he founded a church that
numbered at his death over one
hundred thousand and embraces
today over twenty million adher-
ents.
Brief Summary
A brief summary of Prof. Kuhl-
mann’s address follows:
“John Wesley was born on
June 28, 1703. He inherited from
his father, a vicar, the strong Wes-
ley determination, which John
revealed in the guise of rigorous
self-discipline. The qualities which
made John the great leader of
Methodism are traceable to his
mother, however, rather than to
his father. Wesley was a born
gentleman and scholar and never
lost the stamp of these qualities
in spite of his democratic exper-
iences.
Wesley’s Education
“When John was about ten
years of age, he went to Charter-
house school. Though he was not
strong physically, he seems to
have borne the severe conditions
there quite well. H6 continued
his education at Christ’s College,
Oxford, and was made a fellow
of Lincoln College, Oxford, in
1726, to the satisfaction and pride
of his father.
“In 1727, he 'left Oxford to take
over the rectory of Wroote, a
small, dismal place which formed
a part of his fathers parish. His
success there seems to have been
only moderate, and when he was/
summoned back to Oxford, he
complied gladly.
“A meeting with Oglethoi’pe in
London led to John Wesley’s trip
to America as chaplain of the
Georgia colony and missionary to
the Indians. His missionary work
was an utter failure, and when
colonial opposition made his work
all but impossible, he was only
too glad to return to England.
His Life Is Changed
“After .returning to London,
Wesley experienced a real con-
version which brought about a
great change in his life. He lost
all his fears and misgivings and
was now ready to devote himself,
heart and soul, to his great work,
the spiritual revival of England.
“From this time until a few
years before his death, Wesley’s
life becomes a succession of ser-
mons, journeys, organization
meetings, and the like. He was
a man of indefatigable energy,
rising at 4 a. m. or thereabouts
every morning and counting it a
sin when he lost five minutes of
his valuable time. He preached
an average of three sermons a
day and continued his journeys
throughout England, Scotland,
SEGUIN MALE
CHORUS
Gibson Directs Local
Organization
Recently the Seguin Male
(Chorus under the direction of
Prof. Gibson made their first pub-
lic appearance in the Methodist
Church in Seguin. This group
has been practicing a number of
weeks, and is composed of busi-
ness men of Seguin and a few
Lutheran College students.
The program for the evening
was a group of numbers by the
chorus, which was “Memories of
Galilee,” “The Old Rugged Cross”
and “Lord Jesus Who Dost Love
Me”; a vocal solo by Captain
Schlafli, and a sermon delivered
by Prof. Gibson.
Dormitory Students
Enjoy Party
A Christmas party prepared by
a group of girls for dormitory stu-
dents was given last Friday night.
The dining hall was decorated
in moss, mistletoe, fir twigs, and
crepe paper. The hall was so beau-
tified that the guests upon en-
tering had to look twice to see
th|at they were in the correct
place.
After games were played, re-
freshments were served, and the
delightful evening was brought to
a close.
The dormitory students, es-
pecially the boys, wish to express
their thanks to their hosts of the
evening.
Ireland, and Wales until he was
eighty-six years of age.”
The student body enjoyed this
interesting lecture very much and
hope to have the pleasure of hear-
ing Prof. Kuhlmann many times
in the future.
DECEMBER 8
AT TEN A.M.
Students Conduct Convocation
The students of Lutheran Col-
lege were sponsors of a very en-
tertaining program given during
convocation period Thursday, De-
cember 8. The program, under
the direction of a committee com-
posed of Weldon Wright, president
of the student body; Dorothea
Kraushaar, and Monroe Hagn,
worked in conjunction with Mrs.
Juanita Starcke.
Quartette Sings
The first part of the program
was given by the Lutheran College
quartette, composed of Werner
Bauch, Weimar Hein, Hilmar
Starcke, and James Schuessler.
The quartette sang “The Bulldog
on the Bank?’ and “Goodnight
Ladies.” Both numbers were ex-
ceedingly well rendered, and the
audience showed its appreciation
by sincere applause.
Short Play Presented
The second part of the pro-
gram was a short play, “In Sum-
mer, In Winter,” in which Doro-
thea Kraushaar and Carl Kraus
showed that they possessed re-
markable historionic ability. The
play was clever and humorous,
treating marital difficulties in an
amusing way. It’s conclusion
was, as is most arguments of that
nature, with the woman being
victorious.
Students Enjoy Convocation
The students agree that this
was a fine program and they are
expecting more programs of the
same merit. There is no reason
why the regular student convoca-
tions for the remainder of the
years should not be as good, if
every student does his part.
President Weldon Wright has
requested that all students who
have any talent or ability that
might be of value in planning a
program see him or one of the
other members of the program
committee and report said talent
or ability.
We have the proper directors,
fellow-students, so let’s give them
something to work with, and see
what enjoyable programs we will
have.
During the week-end of Decem-
ber 11 Vivian Riske and Joyce
Meyer visited a ranch near Round
Rock. In spite of the cold weath-
er, they had a pleasant trip.
