Positions. for YELL T E AM PERFORMS y / Prepare yourselves for a little pollyanic drivel. The writer, the same as most everybody else, has had some mighty low moments lately. This so-called "depression" is apt to get anybody down and when you are at your lowest ebb someone comes along with this "D. L. D." spirit and you feel you'd like to knock 'em into the middle of next week, until you finally, grudgingly let yourself see the bright side and well, gosh, things aren't half so dark. After all, if you've got your health and someone in this world who loves you and who cares, you can get an awful lot of happiness out of this old world if you just go at it right. "Money talks" •^-sure it does—just cries right out loud at times like these, but we all know of a rich man today all of whose wealth can't buy health! And gt;we know of a few men of plenty 4$vho leads a lonely, loveless life. And 'Allah! When I hear a group of ^oung whipper-snappers standing in the corner of a classroom, expensive texts under their arms, dressed in the best, groaning about the cruelty of this world to young college boys and that lessons are nothing but a kick in the pants, I feel like taking them down to Seattle' and showing them the bread-lines there —widowed . women endeavoring to support a brood of youngsters on nothing and, well, you know what times are . . . Someone told me not long ago, "Remember, there, is sunshine just around the corner." Now I always prided myself on being a fairly good weather prophet and we usually see a break-up in the clouds before we see sunshine—so, I'm waiting for the break-up . . . . here's a happy thought . . . think how, years later you'll be able to glance down with a paternal air and tell the younger generation how yon lived through a world depression.

Whether to have it one hour or two hours in length, whether to have it in the evening or in the afternoon, and where to have it. The problem, however, was left undecided,' except that the secretary will take charge at the door during rec hour. During the summer quarter a double rec hour was held one evening a week. Bands to Tryout It was decided that orchestra try-. outs would be held at rec hour this afternoon.' At least two orchestras are expected to try out and the students will be given a chance to vote for the one who will take the position permanently.

Last year the policy of withholding the paper on election Fridays until the results could be included was inaugurated. This we did with this issue, and in addition delayed the appearance in order to include the results of the class elections. We are grateful to President Fisher for giving us permission to deviate from our usual policy and get the results to you "hot off the press." AT YOUR SERVICE Anything to please, but rescuing fair maidens from roaring dragons is our specialty. THE VlKING will go down in history as a hero as far as one girl is concerned. A VlKING reporter, armed only with the date of the finals in the state Atwater Kent radio contest, set out to capture a story from Doris Huston, Normal student and winner of the local contest. Miss Huston had received no notice of the date of the finals and when informed by the reporter that they were to be that very evening, Tuesday; from radio station K-O-M-O, in Seattle, she hastily phoned the contest manager and verified the report. Furthermore, she departed for Seattle immediately and represented Bellingham in th state finals of the contest. We wish Doris the best of luck in the contest and hope she brings home the bacon in the form of first prize for the state. NOT SO SPEEDY No speeding! Didn't we hear someone warn us about that the other day; and aren't there 15-mile an hour signs posted at the entrance to the school parking yard? Yes, we think so. But they are absolutely superfluous under present conditions. If any one drove over that road 15 miles an hour he'd be sans springs, sans car, sans nonchalance. What a predicament. Couldn't something be done about those chuck holes? N O R M ^ J U N I O R M I K I N G S TO MEET R O O s l v E LT IN 4 i R M. G A M E TODAY TOOT, TOOT, HERE W E COME We think we have an exceptional staff lined up for this quarter on THE VlKING. Eight of our old timers are back to help us out and we have the largest beginning journalism class in years. Most of these new students, besides, have had experience in high school. With this staff we hope to be able to at least maintain the standards set by T H E VlKING in former years and to publish a paper that will do honor to Bellingham Normal. J QJ, Congratulations are now in order. We salute you, Fairhaven and Whatcom high schools. The Ail-American "rating your annuals, the Aurora and Kulshan, have both received from the National Scholastic Press association is indeed an honor. We know how proud you must be, and we in turn are proud for you, and proud also-that some of the staff members of your publications are now students in our school. We are pleased with your honors and wish you continued success. Normal Library Is Point of Call for Modern Odysseus A book was once written about the travels of a man in a measly little boat, who took in several points of interest and at once became a hero. Another hero enters! He is a modern Odysseus who takes in points of interest in and about the massive expanse of the Normal school! A.portion of his diary follows: "Took in the library today. Egad! What a building! It is very full of dimmed lights, stained windows, and much silence! As for myself, I liked the floors because they made such quaint and distinctive noises under my dainty ten-androne-halves! (at which I received such looks as to send numerous shivers coursing down the part of my, anatomy called the spinal column). ''There were many\ books, (the number neared one million, I do believe) but they did me little good, because some scurvy knave had approached before me and had hidden the object of my search so securely that I grew, exhausted after the eleventh round and retired to a near-by chair to do a little extensive concentrating. "The hall, to my immediate chagrin, was as hard to stand on as is a banana peel, and before I could say two words of singular simplicity my feet took the place my head had formerly occupied and I seated myself neatly but with a resounding thud which brought forth many sympathetic onlookers to the floor! It took me not longer than one minute and three seconds to vacate from the spot and start toward the door with many blushes and embarrassed smiles. But, woe is me, my room-mate was among those present and he did start many a wild howl of laughter! Forthwith, I was jeered at mightily! Egad ? What an experience! But I have heard tell that in such schools of highly organized intellect a person should be fully prepared for such situar tions!" The long yellow fingers of the late summer sun are lingering with a strange but ardent caress on the hill and the valleys. There is a reluctance Mn that touch like an organist loath to leave his melody on the lips of the organ.

He hasn't bene bitten by this modern bug. • Q V Because we were friends I loved the rain; the stormy sky was exciting and the wind sent tingling blood to my heart. * o * And then one day I hated rain; it's pitter-patter drove me mad—the stormy sky was a grey mood and the wind was only a lonely moan because we were no longer friends. * _ Q _ * A Chinese philosopher once said, "Good words will gain you honor in the market place, but good deeds will gain you friends among men! * P * Speaking of friends—what a divine gift friendship is—a treasure given us to guard and keep bright with the fires of our hearts. * Q * Captain Dobbsie, the radio man, has enumerated in his book published by the Shell Oil people all the things he loves—all the sweet human lovely things such as ginger cookies in a brown..

BEIXINC5HAM, WASHINGTON FOOTBAIi FINDINGS HOPES FOR BIG YEAR STRENGTHENED AS BUTTERCUPS LOSE We have lots of good comments to make this week, but there are several things of an unpleasant'nature that- we wish to get off our chest first. We asked a distinterested observer what she thought of last Saturday's football game. The answer was uncomplimentary. Here it is, "I like football as football, not the kind up here." Now, we did not like that remark, because we believe Sam Carver is turning out a real team, so we asked the individual to qualify. Which she did with the following remark, "Well, I don't care, I dislike unsportsman-ship. When a gentleman was hurt, and another time when a gentleman left the field the entire crowd booed—not just the small boys, but the NORMAL STUDENTS!" Of course, the fact that the individual is judging the football team by the booing of the crowd is immaterial. The fact is, we did boo! How, we happened to be interested in the line of thought suggested by the disinterested person so we consulted last week's Sunday Herald and discovered the following: "The crowd, principally Normal students, hooed the Buttercups on several occasions when penalties were imposed for unnecessary roughness." We believe we owe the Buttercups! an apology. Normal Team Is Handicapped By Playing Against Heavier Team. THREE TEAMS USED Athletic Manager's note: "We need some of the fellows who don't have anything to do Saturday morning— no ay, but lots of credit and fun. See you on the field." It looks like a big year for the Vikings. This statement was verified last Saturday afternoon on Waldo field when Coach Sam Carver and his 1931 football team out-, played and outclassed the Belling-ham Buttercups tto the tune of 19-0. The Normalites were handicapped by playing against an older and heavier outfit who knew their football, but apparently hadn't any training in social ethics, or football ethics either, and consequently received setback after setback. They were penalized enough times for roughing, holding, and arguing to win an ordinary football game. First Quarter Scoreless The game opened up with Normal kicking off. During the first quarter the Buttercups held the ball but were losing practically all they gained through penalties. The Vikings threatened once during this period but lost the ball on a fumble near the six-yard line. Line-up Changed In the second quarter Coach Carver changed his entire line-up. Mar-tinolich, of the Buttercups, then made the most sensational run of the game, when he returned a punt sixty-four yards only to FOOTBALL RESULTS Santa Clara, 0; Stanford, 6.

FIVE NEW MEN OUT VIKINGS MEET NAVY ON WALDO TOMORROW (Continued from Page One) ment last year with the visitors but managed to drop them 13-6. Advance dope shows that the Navy has added several new names to its players' roster. Added strength plus a year's experience means simply that the Navy are p-1-e-n-t-y tough. Starting Lineup Unsettled Coach Carver has been having a have it little difficulty ironing out the rag- Cheney Normal had a pep band, a yell-leader, and an enthusiastic crowd for their opening game— that's why they get so far. Bel-lingham Normal had a , a , and an for their opening game. But we will get there, regardless. We look forward to games, we see games, and we recall games. When we were looking forward to iQst.Saturdjayjs. game. We ^ made, certain predictions {extremely unwise). As we watched the game: we became aware that our predictions Were grossly inaccurate. As We recall the game we wish we had started our journalistic career today. According to us the score was to be 2 2 to 6, instead, it was 19 to 0. Folks, we beg your pardon! Our next weeks offering iss We will beat the Coast Guard by at least 49 to 0. According to "Maple Barks", last i week, "The other day we saw a little nigger boy peering into an ash can in a back alley. His face was a 'wistful black pansy hanging over the edge of that ash. can." By all reason, Maple Barks, what ni , were you doing down in an ash can in a back alley? The Vikings were gifted with a couple of good teams. As demonstrated last week, either one of them was plenty capable of ,giving any team trouble. This past week has been spent in breaking down those two teams and on the foundation rebuilding a greater, more potential team with plenty of reinforcement. When this team goes into action against the Coast Guard tomorrow you will see a team of university caliber. Donavan and Harris are fighting it out at quarterback. Donavan is a harder plugger than Harris, and is better at blocking. Harris is, however, a better field judge and seems to be better at pass defense. So far they are a toss-up. called back for holding. Normal then intercepted a pass on the 45-yard line, made a first down, then Harris heaved a beautiful pass to Flint, who scampered unmolested for a touchdown. The third quarter was practically a repetition of the first. Carver started the half with a complete new team. The Buttercups threatened late in this period when they advanced the ball to the five-yard line, where they fumbled the ball. Three Teams Used In the fourth quarter the Vikings again changed line-ups, this time using a mixed team, and a back-field that seemed to click like veterans. . It,, was ..composed of--Sinko, Williams, Harris and A. Smith. This combination scored two touchdowns and converted for the extra point. Harris passed to Sinko for one touchdown and the extra point and sneaking through the line for the other six points. Pete Staggs and Joe Martinolich looked good on the offense for the Buttercups, while Sperry on, the line broke up plenty of the Viking's plays. The small crowd continually booed the Buttercups for their rough and unsportsmanlike tactics. All the Vikings squad showed promise of developing into a strong aggregation. On the offense, Flowers, Sinko, Williams, Harris, showed up exceedingly well. Lineups ^ Normal—Cox and Hogile, ends; Turner and Sutton, tackles; Faulkner and Christie, guards; Berg, center; Donovan, quarter; Shelton and Flowers, halves; Iverson, full. Substitutes — Whipple, McLean, Comfort, Flint, Smith, Williams, Sinko, Harris, Dinton, Mallahan, Morley, Moultray, McLean, Collier, Loomis, Peterson, Gisberg, Smith, Cook, Allen, Charlesworth. Buttercups—B. Staggs and Campbell, ends; Winterburn and Chamberlain, tackles; Sperry and Visin-tiner, guards; Gibb, center; Martinolich, quarter; Cranke and Bise, halves; P. Staggs, full. Substitutes —Hansen, Herley, Fraser, Dix. Len Anstett, referee; D. O. E. Radcliffe, referee; Bill Osborn head linesman. ged spots in the backfield but will nrjSbably have two backfields to use if necessary. "As yet I have not been able to choose my first-string men from the squad turning out," Coach Carver stated yesterday, "but the tentative lineup for the game Saturday will probably include Harris, quarter; Donovan and Sinko, halfbacks; Williams, fullback; Berg, center; Faulkner and Comfort, guards; Sutton and Turner, tackles; Cox and Hogile, ends." He also stated that Roy Abbott, crack end from last year's squad, would probably not see action in thte game. A bad charliehorse has kept Abbott on the sidelines for the past, two weeks, but proper care should put him into shape for the Pacific Lutheran College game, there, next Friday. First-year men «with better blocking, punting and passing are holding the limelight for the present, but with a week or so more practice Coach Carver should have two and perhaps three backfields of nearly equal strength. ---------- Northwest Viking - 1931 October 9 - Page 4 ---------- ^^P^^lliilSI^WSBSiBWiW ^^S^S^'Sil'IfP^i'rtiK ••'-{ 'M ^§v§W^WMW^ffi*ffi*ffifW$$ ^AsmtGtdti WktEmRMAL scHcfeClE i^^^ WOMEN'S KID PARTY FROLICSOME AFFAIR Girls Dance and Make Merry at Annual Get-Together.
