1i Mr. Roberf Dressner pauses in his p lanning for the regional menu contest

which is open to al l boarding students.

Contest for Best Menus Announced Mr. Robert Dressner, of the Slater Food Service, announced this

week that a contest would be held during November for the best regional menu planned by a student. This idea is an outgrowth of the "foreign night ' 'meals begun very successfully last year. Eligibility will be limited to those students who board at the college.

To enter the contest students must submit a complete menu and preparation guides. The entries will be judged by the dining hall com-mittee with decisions based on completeness of menu and guides, originality, variety, and practical possibilities of production.

For the winning menu and preparation plans submitted, a prize of $10.00 will be awarded. Subsequent second and third prizes will amount to $5.00 and $3.00. The winning meals which will feature the regional foods, will be run at the rate of one every month, start ing in December.

Mr. Dressner, speaking of the new idea, said, "We have students here from every part of the United States, and we would like to serve a meal which is similar to what they would find in their region." He cited the examples of New England boiled dinners and Pennsylvania Dutch dinners.

Entries should be given- to any of the head waiters or to Mr. Dressner.

Mom and Dad's Day to Honor Parents Tomorrow

Frazer Analyzes 1958 French Revolution

by Nancy Malstrom Tuesday, the 28th, many French

students and others interested gathered in the music building to hear Dr. Ian Frazer, director of the American Library in France. The topic Dr. Frazer chose was "Instruction in Franco-American Understanding" and the title of the talk was "How the Revolution was Made in France Last May."

The first thought brought out by Dr. Frazer was the point of fric-tion between the United States and France. This point is the feeling of Americans tha t France isn't a very good ally because of certain factors in her government. These factors are tha t 25% vote Com-munist every election and perennial instability of the French govern-ment, which has produced the im-pression that France is an un-worthy ally. However, stated Dr. Frazer, that 25% vote didn't neces-sarily mean that 25% of the people were disloyal to Western ideas, but that they weren't satisfied with their way of living and the Com-munist vote was more of a protest vote any anything else.

As for the many parties, said Dr. Frazer, "I t ' s a mystery to me how 45 million French people, as individualistic as they are, could develop thirteen or fourteen politi-

Schrier Announces Forensic Contest

THANKS We would like to thank the

student body as a whole for their co-operation and enthusi-asm which made Homecoming as successful as it was this year. Our special thanks to those individuals who accepted special responsibilities . . . .

The Homecoming Committee

The Hope College Forensic Ac-tivities for the 1958-1959 school year have been announced by Dr. Schrier. In order to appeal to the interests of many students, several different types of speech contests have been planned.

The State Contest in Extempore Speaking will be held at Wayne State University in Detroit on Sat-urday, December 6. The topics on which students will read extensive-ly this year are (1) Problems of American Education and (2) Ad-vertising in America. One hour before the contest two specific sub-topics will be drawn from one of these major topics and a four to six minute speech prepared on it.

Hope College will choose its male and female representatives in a local contest during the first week in November.

Another speaking contest which Hope will enter this season is the Peace Extemporaneous Speaking Contest. Separate contests for men and women are to be held at West-ern Michigan University on De-cember 12 and 13 or on January 9 and 10.

The subjects for this year will be announced as soon as they be-come known and available. Hope College entrants will be chosen at least one month before the state contests, depending on the final decision as to the contest date.

State Peace Oratorical Contests for both men and women will be held at the same place and on the same dates as the extempore con-tests. This contest is in the form of an original oration, not to ex-ceed 1200 words, on the subject of peace. A typed list of 100 suggest-ed topics may be consulted in the Speech Department Office (VR-302).

The Hope Adelaide and Raven

contests are to be held before

Christmas of this year. Although

the Adelaide is for women and the

Raven for men, regulations for

these contests are the same. Con-

testants must deliver an original oration of not more than 1800

words. Quotations from other

sources must not exceed one tenth

of the total number of words.

Winners will represent Hope in the state contest at Kalamazoo College on March 6, 1959. Pros-pective entrants for both of these contests are urged to call the Speech office for mimeographed suggestions about the procedure to follow.

The First semester Public Ad-dress Festival will be held at Hills-dale Colege on January 17. Dates for the Second semester contest are May 16 or 23. Hope's repre-sentatives in these events are likely to be the winners of the Speech 11 contest, but places will be made available to other interested per-sons.

Following a year of inactivity, Hope College's debate team is be-ing revived. All interested students may participate. The national topic for discussion is — Resolved: That the Further Development of Nu-clear Weapons Should Be Prohib-ited by International Agreement. Participation in several tourna-ments and audience debates is an-ticipated.

For fu r ther information concern-ing Extempore Speaking and De-bate contests, consult R o b e r t Smith, Coach of Debate. For ad-ditional information about Peace and Oratorical contests, consult Dr. Schrier, Director of Oratory.

Ford Speaks About Responsible Citizenship

"People who are active are re-

sponsible citizens," declared Con-

gressman Gerald Ford to assembl-

ed Hope College students last Fri-

day, October 24, 1958. The purpose

of the speech was the observance

of the Theodore Roosevelt Centen-

nial. Mr. Ford's specific topic was "Responsible Citizenship."

In his address Congressman

Ford gave a short biography of

Theodore Roosevelt, using this past

President's life as an example of

that of an active citizen.

"Mr. Roosevelt's life epitomizes

responsible citizenship," stated Mr.

Ford who then supported this be-

lief by highlighting Roosevelt's

admirable qualities and pointing

out that his life should be a chal-

lenge.

Mr. Ford pointed out the "vigor,

boyancy, courage and enthusiasm"

that R o o s e v e l t had exhibited

throughout his career. The Con-

gressman described Roosevelt's

rise to leadership of his party as

26th president of the United States.

f Gerald Ford

Precedents set by Roosevelt were

also enumerated by Mr. Ford.

Touched upon were T.R.'s policy

of military preparedness, his inter-

est in world affairs, his accelerated

conservation and wild life refuge

programs and his reputation as a

trust-buster.

Changes Being Made in R. E. Week Activities

Theme for Religious Emphasis

week, being held November 17-21, is "This I Believe," and the speak-

er will be Dr. W. L. O'Neill from

the Westminster Presbyterian

Church of Peoria, Illinois, accord-ing to the R.E. Committee. The

emphasis will be placed on the stu-

dents' personal relationship with God and religion.

Instead of the fireside evalua-tions, which in the past have fol-lowed R.E. Week, a new feature will be similar discussions preced-ing the week in order to find out what the student expects to receive from it and therefore make it more valuable.

The seminars will be held in the evening instead of in the af ter-

noon as last year, and on Tuesday night there will be a panel of

adults to discuss questions < which the students may place in a desig-nated box beforehand.

The committees for Religious Emphasis Week are: Devotions, Rowland Van Es and Diane Sluyt-

er; Y Discussion and Chapel Med-itation, Ruth Landing and Ronald Geschwendt; and Program, Ronald

Lockhorst and Nancy Plewes.

Other chairmen are: Service, Gene Bolte and Shirley Meiste;

Publicity, J im Evers and Sally De-Wolf; Evening Seminars, Bill Van-

derbilt and Barbara Reuss; and General Chairman, Mel Van Hat-tem and Marge Tenhaken.

A School or a Team Activity? Last Saturday night Hope defeated Hillsdale College in a most

important and dramatic game of the football seeason. There was pres-ent, a large and enthusiastic Hope crowd. Everyone from Hope was elated about the outcome, but their joy was somewhat dampened by several questions which lingered in their minds.

Why weren't the cheerleaders allowed to go to the game to lead the spectators in cheering and encourage the team, even a f te r a faculty member offered to take them and bring them back? Why were some girls allowed to sign out for the weekend, enabling them to attend the game, while others were not? Is this a wise policy which provokes girls to leave the dorms for an evening without signing out? Perhaps we don't know all the fac ts involved in this situation, but it would seem only fair for the administration to give the students of Hope College a definite statement of policy in this mat ter so that the hard feeling and resentment tha t was evident on the campus this week can be avoided in the future .

Spice and Crumbs by Richard Jaarsma

Understanding or Self Concern? I put my whole soul into a song Which I sang to men And they laughed at it! I took my lute I went and sat on the top of a mountain And I sang to the gods the song Which men had not understood. The sun went down And the gods danced to the rhythm of my song

On the red clouds which floated in the sky. (Li Po—China, 750 A.D.)

The red clouds sail slowly around the earth. They circle a small world. In forty-two hours, man with his machines has flown around it — but his man-made ideals have never gotten off the ground. In this shrinking world, the motives of the Kremlin, Guinea's strong-man Toure or Chiang Kai-Shek have as much meaning for us as Einstein's Theory of Relativity, perhaps less. Our educational system has at least given us a foundation to aid in the unraveling of Einstein's ideas.

In this world of forty-two hours, we don't understand our own John Foster Dulles or our Faubus. Can a durable international peace be built when we haven't even formed the groundwork for it in our own communities? We don't even understand the person across from us in the dining hall!

Not only do we not understand him, we are not interested. So often genuine Christian friendliness is forgotten and we sink into the indifference of self concern. Only our own world seems to have vali-dity. Thus the person disagreeing with our favorite chapel speaker harbors atheistic tendencies and discussing socialism becomes "un-American." Unconsciously each of us is barring understanding f rom ever encircling the world. We won't even let it crawl across the campus!

In our self concern, we have forgotten the inalienable rights of each individual: freedom of speech, self-defense, and trial by jury. We have forgotten the ideals of our American history. We have ig-nored the Christian spirits of love and patience, the qualities that were so necessary to our heritage. We have forced man to attain self-expression, love and peace, not through the understanding of his brother, but f rom his own scanty resources — flung a t him from a Careless Nature. Because his fellow man laughs, man sings to his gods.

Must this be ? Must it take years ra ther than hours for under-standing to encompass this ear th? Or will we as Hope College stu-d e n t s — a s sympathetic human beings t ry to understand the song which man sings to the gods?

SOME NOTES ON THE TRIBAL CUSTOMS OF THE PRIMITIVES OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY —The rite of Homecoming, from "The Uncertain Period," Chapter V, pp. 200-206, by Djareed Taro-58329S. Copyright 2569.

As I have already stated in a previous chapter, there were many customs and ceremonies connected with life in the twentieth century which have lost all their signifi-cance to us and have become mere-ly interesting subjects for our soc-iological study. The rite of "Home-coming" is one of these, and it is especially noteworthy in that it was integrally associated with higher learning of that past time. Unfortunately, most of the records of that period have been lost as a result of the Great War III, and all that has come down to us from this vague period is a copy of a newspaper found in the ruins of what was apparently one of the colleges or universities. This, how-ever, sheds much light on the sub-ject as it includes an account of all the activities connected with Homecoming. The interpretation of these activities has been worked out to the minutest detail and also in relation to the other ceremonies of the time (Among which may be noted May Day and Student Coun-cil Elections)

Homecoming, we believe, was a religious rite which lasted from a Thursday evening to mid-after-noon of the following Sunday. The gods for whom this service was in-tended were Alumni, Memory Al-bum and various minor deities re-presented by men who served as their prophets and spoke to the students in those fields of which their gods were considered to be patrons. Nothing beyond these few facts is known as not many refer-ences are made to these gods^in the contemporary literature of the time.

The beginning of the "Home-coming" rites was the crowning of a queen chosen from the mem-bers of the student body. This queen served as an intermediary between the gods and the students. She enjoyed great popularity be-cause of this. She was apparently sacrificed at the Homecoming Ball as nothing is said about her a f te r this tribal dance.

It might be well to mention, at this point, that during the whole week various student groups built

displays and floats which served the same purpose as those statues and images of the earlier tribes, notably the Marching Bands and Shriners. The symbolism of these is obscure, however, as it is more involved than most tribal rites.

On Friday, the students went to pay homage to the minor gods mentioned in paragraph two. The fact that only a small percentage of the student body attended these prayer services is an indication of the low ebb the religious life of the period had reached. The name of these services was, for some ob-scure reason,"The Academic Home-coming," a word which seems to bear no relation to the type of services conducted.

The climax of the week came on Saturday when there was a Home-coming Parade at which time all the floats and other symbols of the gods were pulled through the main thoroughfare of the city. This was accompanied by shouting of the spectators for their particular gods, and served to intoxicate the stu-dents for the coming "Game" and Homecoming Ball.

The "Game" is another one of those puzzling mysteries about which nothing is known. I t is men-tioned in most accounts of the per-iod but they shed no light cn the purpose of this ceremony and it is thought nowadays that it did not really play an integral par t in the rite.

By the time the Homecoming Ball was ready to begin the ex-citement had reached a fever pitch and the whole Saturday evening was spent in a wild haze of hyster-ical religious fervor.

The Vesper Services in the af-ternoon of the Sunday following seem to bear no relationship to the rest of the rites as some of the townspeople also came to see them. It is generally conceded, however, that midafternoon of this Sunday marks the end of the "Homecom-ing" Celebrations.

We have only given you a rather brief view of this rite as we have to cover every aspect of past twen-tieth century life. For those stu-dents who wish to do fur ther re-search into this, it is recommended that thy read Tandro von Draais-ma's EVIDENCES OF HYSTERIA IN STUDENT RELIGIOUS AND SOCIAL CUSTOMS which covers the subject more completely than we have done here.

Letters to the Editor To the students of Hope College:

The officers of the Alumni As-sociation and the members of the Academic Homecoming Committee wish to express to every student their appreciation for the excellent work done in executing what we think was one of the most success-ful homecomings we have had at Hope College.

You are probably aware that we were apprehensive about including the Academic Homecoming as part of the regular Homecoming festi-vities. Because of your cooperation and spirit, you proved our fears groundless. From reports we have had the Academic Homecoming helped to make the regular event more successful than ever. You are to be congratulated for your par t in making this enlarged pro-gram a tremendous success.

Every returning alumnus was proud of the quality of the present student body, quickly evidenced in the quality of preparations made for the Homecoming event.

Again, may we thank you for a job well done!

Clyde H. Geerlings, Director, Alumni Relations Marian A. Stryker, Sec'y Alumni Association

Dear Editor,

It is with mixed emotions that I address this letter to the editor of the Anchor and to the student body of Hope College. On one hand, the team and I, and the stu-dent body of Hope College are more than elated by our recent victory over Hilsdale College. I, however, feel that something was taken away from the spirit of the game because our cheerleaders were not permitted to attend in their capacity of cheering our team on to victory. I cannot think of an-other instance such as this which has ever taken place on another campus, nor could I think it pos-sible to have happened a t Hope College.

I t is unfortunate tha t the re-strictions a t Hope College could have received such a narrow inter-pretation by the persons whose power it is to make the decisions. It was a great victory fo r Hope last Saturday night. But it was through the inflexible interpreta-tion of the rules that Hope could not make this victory a complete success for everyone.

Sincerely yours, George Peelen

"And so to Bed" by Jim Michmerhuizen

Two weeks ago I ventured to suggest that the finest concert of the '58-'59 Civic Concert Season might well be that of Ferrante and Teicher. Now I must suggest unhappily that it was not.

m Mf

t Ferranfe and Teicher

The recital was by no means such a disappointment as Ruth Slenczynka's s tupefying display of poor musicianship last March; nor —may all the gods of music crit-icism be praised—was it surround-ed by the sentimental ballyhoo which accompanied and pervaded Miss Slencszynska's recital. (The case against her was not helped any by the "Pollyanna" smile with which she acknowledged applause.) But, even allowing that the Teich-er-Ferrante recital did have a high point of musicianship and ' rapport ' during the Ravel and the Brahms, it must still be said tha t there was lacking a certain unity of feeling, a coherence, in their performance as a whole.

There is a sense in which a well-planned recital can be fused, in its performance, into something akin to a symphony or a sonata, in that it has characteristics of growth or inevitable change of emotion and of feeling for contrasts and similari-ties. The responsibility for this co-herence is completely the perform-er's. It is quite intangible and in-definable, and can be known (shades of William James!) only by being experienced.

It is this organic unity, this fusion, that the Messrs. Ferrante and Teicher failed to accomplish on Tuesday night. Nor was the cloud lightened in the slightest de-gree by their lamentable choice that made the first number on the program a sickeningly romanticiz-ed Bach-arrangement and their last encore more of the same—the hackneyed "Jesu, Joy of Man's De-siring," from Cantata no. 147. Even Ruth Slencszynska was not guilty of such an affront to the intelli-gence of the audience and to the incredible legacy of music lef t us by the old organist of Leipzig.

And so to bed.

A Chat with a Congressman

or Meet Mr. Ford

by Betty Vicha

Very frankly I'd never spoken with a congressman before so I was looking forward to my inter-view with Mr. Gerald R. Ford, Michigan delegate to the United States House of Representatives, who addressed the student body on October 24 in connection with the Theodore Roosevelt Centennial.

As I listened to his address, I was aware that I was hearing a very competent man, one who did his job well and was successful, if Mr. Ford is capable on the speaker's platform, he is even more adept at making a young college girl feel at ease during her first interview.

Since he'd spoken on responsible citizenship, I asked Mr. Ford how college students fitted into the pic-ture. Immediately he answered, "I firmly believe that college stu-dents can make great contributions to the welfare of the country by actively participating in the drud-gery and chores of political activi-ty through the party of their choice."

In response to my next question, he said that he fel t it was essential for any important political action to be worked within the framework of one of the two national parties. At this time, a strong individual, as Teddy Roosevelt was in his early career, could not effectively influ-ence political policies without party help. Although unlikely, he thought it conceivable tha t if the Republic-ans and Democrats would ever differ to such a great degree that even the left wing of one was a long way from the right wing of the other, there would be the possi-bility of a third interest coming in to bridge the gap.

We then talked about the open-ings for women in politics and he pointed out that besides serving in Congress, women who were noted in their respective fields were often appointed to advisory positions by the President.

Just before our interview ended, he said, "You realize, of course, that political activity is not the only way to responsible citizenship. Many people fulfill their civil re-sponsibilities in other ways such as education or community service."

Carnegie Gym is one of the four major bui ldings built dur ing Kollen's administrat ion. Andrew Carnegie gave the necessary funds.

The Carnegie Gymnasium

At the fourth meeting of the Student Council Artel Newhouse, representing W. A. L., asked the council to consider the possbilities of opening the Kletz at night.

Last year W. A. L. opened the Kletz in the evening for relaxation and studying. Food machines were also put in the hall. However, very few students took advantage of this.

This year W. A. L. was asked to open the Kletz. This is a large undertaking for W. A. L. and therefore Artel brought it to the Council.

The outcome of the discussion was tha t the Council needed to know whether or not students would really use the Kletz in the evening.

Also there was the question if the food counter should be opened. If so, how much would it cost to run i t ?

The council is asking that every student consider the advantages and disadvantages of having the Kletz open in the evening. Please think it over and talk to your council members.

by Sally

During the administration of President Kollen, Hope College was enriched financially and placed "up-on a firm and lasting foundation." One of the four major buildings built during his administration was the Carnegie Gymnasium.

The funds necessary for adding the athletic facilities to Hope's campus were given by Andrew Carnegie, the famous American in-dustrialist. He was encouraged to aid Hope College through the ef-forts of President Kollen.

President K o l l e n secured the friendship of Carnegie through the cooperation of a mutual friend. Dr. MacKay, former minister at the Dutch Reformed Collegiate Church of St. Nicholas in New York City. Dr. MacKay, who was deeply im-pressed by the work accomplished at Hope College in spite of limited facilities, introduced President Kol-len to Andrew Carnegie.

Kollen and Carnegie became very good friends. One point of mutual interest was that they both were knighted in the Netherlands by Queen Wilhelmina.

(The title President Kollen re-ceived was, "Ridder van het Huis van 0 r a n j e-Nassau" meaning Knight of the Order of the House of Orange-Nassau.)

Houtman

This Dutch honor which was be-stowed upon him by Queen Wil-helmina was given "in recognition of President Kollen's services in behalf of the descendents of the Hollanders in America, the Queen's former faithful subjects." The ci-tation indicated the attempt to perpetuate Dutch-American ties and traditions with Hope College.

Carnegie Gymnasium has served Hope College for more than half a century, although it very nearly was not completed because Carne-gie's initial grant of $20,000 was not enough to finish the structure. So President Kollen appealed to him a second time saying that he wouldn't want his name on the gymnasium if others shared the cost. Carnegie then promptly con-tributed the necessary amount to finish the structure.

These negotiations of President Kollen to secure funds for the gymnasium typified the techniques which he applied for expansion of the Hope College campus. Kollen was firmly convinced that the col-lege facilities had to be expanded and since the Reformed Church was unable to support all of the build-ing program, he felt justified in s o l i c i t i n g non-denominational sources of income for the develop-ment of the institution.

cal parties instead of 45 million." He added that the United States had its points of friction in its parties and that the two countries would probably be much better off if the United States had a few more political parties and France had a few less.

As all parties are minority par-ties in France, he stated, any government in power would have to be a coalition. These coalitions are usually slightly right or lef t of center and always exclude the extreme right or left . Although, during the 4th Republic (a period of 12 years) there were 25 Prime Ministers, there were, in spite of this, in one period only two foreign ministers in the time the United States had five Secretaries of State.

Dr. Frazer then told about the events leading to the revolution. There were two main groups re-sponsible. The first was the citi-

zens in the territory of Algiers. Dr. Frazer pointed out the simi-larity of this terri tory and our West, with some of the similar factors being the period of develop-ment, and the conglomeration of many races. The difference be-tween the two results is that the colonists in Algiers are confronted with a great majority of natives because of the fantast ic population increase among the Moslems. It has been estimated that 55% of these natives are under twenty years of age. There are 8 to 9 million Moslems r ight now to one and a quarter million Europeans. When Fleamont, a French politician formed the government, the Al-gerians got scared, arrived a t a point of exasperation, and deter-mined to make a revolution.

The second group was the army. Dr. Frazer explained that although we are accustomed to thinking of the army as a servant of the state, it can suddenly become a factor in politics. The reason for this

change? Said Dr. Frazer: "France is the only nation in the world that has been uninterruptedly at war for the last nineteen years." The army went from one humiliating defeat to another and when the new government took over they had a feeling tha t more of the same would result and joined the Algerians in revolt. They have stayed with the Algerians from May thirteenth until last week.

I n the meantime, resumed Dr. Frazer, in France things were hap-pening. Although the extreme left (the Communists) had been feared by most Americans, it became ap-parent that the real danger was coming f rom the right. The Fas-cists and Totalitarians, it seemed, were ready to take over. Active Committees and u n d e r g r o u n d groups had been formed.

Dr. Frazer, f rom the library, had long observed a group of veterans march to the statue of the un-known soldier and lay the wreath over his head. But lately the

groups had become Fascist and Totalitarian groups in an excellent position to cause a riot, which is what they did.

Said Dr. Frazer, "One of the most terr ifying things I've ever seen in my life were these young kids of High School age in t ight little knots being controlled by adult officers ready for any des-perate act."

Things finally got to the point where on the 29th of May they would have attacked France by means of paratroops and planes and seized power but just at tha t time a call went out to De Gaulle and he accepted it. Dr. Frazer 's comment was, "I was quite amazed to find how liberal and anti-Fascist I was." It was the way that De Gaulle arrived into power that Dr. Frazer objects to.

Now De Gaulle's constitution is ratified and Dr. Frazer observed, "Had I been a Frenchman and had a chance to vote on the constitu-tion, I would have voted (as 82% of them did) "yes", but with death in my soul, because I have a feel-ing that this constitution has the same length of life as De Gaulle (who is 62) and where is the second De Gaulle ? If it is Sustelle, watch out, because if it is, the sixth Republic will be Fascist!"

Hope Stuns Hillsdale in Upset Victory Meet the Dutch

Jack Faber — Quarterback

Jack is a senior just under 6 feet and tips the scales at 170 lbs. He is one of the key men of the current Hope College team, a fine passer, a sturdy runner and an outstanding corner man when the enemy has the ball. He has a great burst of speed which enables him to cover the flanks, and judgment to know when to look for bucks and passes. He comes from Zee-land, Michigan.

Jim Mohr — Halfback

Jim is a superior defender. His deadly tackling and his nose for enemy passes make him valuable in the deep secondary. Used originally as an offensive halfback, the 5-10, 150 lb. Mohr was moved into the defensive secondary be-cause of his great speed and foot-ball savoy. A move that has really paid off as we all know. He is a junior from Hudsonville, Mich.

Paul Watt — Halfback

Pete is a terrific ball carrier to the outside being gifted with a full quote of speed and drive. When he sees an opening he shoots for it and generally is through before it can be closed. He is one of the leading ground gainers and scorers in MIAA play so f a r this season, with five TD's and 308 yards. He stands 5-10, weighs 179, is and junior and comes from St. Joe, Michigan.

Huibregtse Kicks Field Goal to Snap Win Streak at 28

About 2200 fans, the majority of them from Hope, saw the game of the year last Saturday when Hope College scored a 16-13 upset over the highly tauted Hillsdale team at Hillsdale. For Hillsdale, it marked the end of a spectacular 28 MIAA game win streak. For Hope it marked it's sixth straight win and a big step closer to cap-turing the conference crown.

The climax came in the fading seconds of the last quarter when Bill Huibregtse kicked a 21 yard field goal to give the game its story-book finish. As the ball cleared the uprights and the gun sounded, Hope players and fans rushed on to the field and went into a victorious bedlam, while Hillsdale players stood in a daze still not believing their eyes.

The win gives Hope sole posses-sion of first place in the MIAA and marks the first time an MIAA team has beat team coached by

Muddy Waters. The last time Hillsdale lost a conference game was also to Hope when the Dutch stopped the Dales 28-7 way back in 1953.

The game began with Hope kick-ing off to Hillsdale. The kick was fumbled and Jim Mohr recovered the ball on the Hillsdale two yard line. On the first play from scrim-mage, Quarterback Paul Mack pushed his way into the end zone. Bill Huibregtse converted to make the score 7-0 with the game only 7 seconds old.

The rest of the first quarter the teams battled back and forth with each team losing the ball several times because of fumbles.

The second and third quarters were also scoreless as both teams displayed fine defenses in holding each other scoreless.

In the fourth quarter however, Hillsdale drew blood for the first time on a 90 yard touchdown drive. The drive was sparked by a 35 yd. run by Walt Poe and two nice pass plays which went from Chuck Redding to all MIAA end Jim Reynolds. Jim Dilibone converted to knot the score at 7-7.

Hope came back quickly on a beautiful 42 yard run by Half-back Pete Watt. The play, which was a double reverse, sent Hope into the lead once more. Huibregtse then missed the all important extra point. Hope lead 13-7 with the clock now4>eing a very important element.

At this point Hillsdale, being pressed for time, went to the air. Their passing attack caught the Dutch completely off their toes and af te r completing nine out of ten passes Hillsdale scored to again tie the score a t 13-13.

With possible defeat formost in their minds. Jack Faber, Ron Bron-son, and Mike Blough rushed in to block the try for the extra point.

With only three minutes remain-ing, a tie game seemed almost in-evitable. The Dutch, however, had other plans as Jer ry Herp received the kickoff and returned it to the Hope 31 yd. line. Then Duane Voskuil gained 16 yds off tackle to gain a first down. On the next eries of plays, led by Watt , the Dutch marched down to the Dale 21 yd. line, where Huibregtse kicked the clincher.

The win was a great team vic-tory as it was the sterling defense and the determined Spirit of all which spelled Victory for the Dutch. The entire defensive unit deserves special recognition for their outstanding performance in containing the Dales. The group includes Bronson, Blough, Peelen, Ter Molen, Miller, Paarlberg, Huibregste, Van Dongen, Mohr, Bekuis, Faber and Mack.

Tomorrow, the Dutch will enter-tain Olivet in hopes of extending Olivet's losing streak to 29 straight games. This game will be the last home game of the season.
