/ 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

 Marjorie Hall  Helen Northen  Our reason for delaying the appearance of T
H E VlKING probably is  quite obvious. 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.  Sir Thomas Lipton, romantic  sport-loving, prince of the world's 
good fellows, is dead.  *__o__*  He has set his sails and started  on his
final voyage "outward bound".  ; * Q * -  Flag half mast, quarter master! 
* o *  If you want to read something  modern yet sweet enough to preserve 
some of your illusions, read  Warwick Deeping—"Kitty", TRop-ers' 
Row" and, if you haven't before,  by all means read "Sorrel and  Son". 
• Q *  Warwick Deeping has a way of  telling you that all life is
good in  spite of it's sordidness. 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.. Jar—hurried  feet in the dusk along a wet street.  * _ Q
_ _ *  It started us to thinking of all  the things we particularly love. 
* Q * '  Tall silver birches.  A railway station at train time,  filled
with folks going somewhere.  We love an American crowd eating  hot dogs and
ham sandwiches  at a football game and yelling their  reckless heads off. 
* o *  We love strange melodies written  in minor coming through the
evening—  the cry of wild geese on their  southward
way—lemonade in tall  green glasses—a clumsy puppy with  great
feet and a wet cold nose—  a baby's laugh—pine smoke on a 
spring day—a Japenese child—a  robin digging worms and the
fresh,  clean odor of lavender.  Knute Rockne's ghost hovers still  over
the gridiron—the fighting Irish  whipped a strong Indiana eleven,  25
to 0.  —*—o—*—  Will Rogers has said "Live your 
life so that when you lose you win.'  A mouthful of pretty good philosophy 
typical of Will Rogers.  What glorious autumn weather!  How we revel in
these., jewels., of  days!.. And someone said that it is  thus in the
autumn of life when the  bright days come, the high lights  of our hours,

WASHINGTON STATE NORMAL SCHOOL. 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

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,

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.
