Pony Backfield To Start
For Viking Squad
Game
Denslow
By Phil Campbell. , ,.
From Savages to. Wildcats, not a
very appetizing menu, but that's
what the Viking football machine
faces in the con­cluding
two weeks
weeks of the sea­son.
Last Satur­day
they, met the
Cheney Savages,
tomorrow t h ey
will sample what
Ellensburg has to
offer in the way
of a f i g h t i ng
bunch of Wild­cats
in a home­coming
battle ov­er
at the Rodeo
city.
For Ellensburg, Captain Denslow
is outstanding. He is rated as one
of the best kickers in the Northwest.
He plays end and moves back into
the kicking position, the back mov­ing
up to take his place. Holl, Bur­nett,
Mitchell and Sanders make up
the backfield for the Wildcats. They
have a fast, hard, charging forward
wall, most members of which are
veteran players. -
Denslow Is Captain
Coach Leo Nicholson's men have
blood in their eyes since tteeir defeat
at the hands of Cheney and will be
out there tomorrow to console them­selves
somewhat for this beating.
The Lappenbusch gridders will fight
a strictly offensive battle since they
have everything to gain in this
game. A victory for them would be
decidedly pleasant since'it has been
a matter of some years since they
have taken the Ellensburg boys.
Light Backs Will Start
It will be a pony backfield for the
Vikings that will attempt to filter
through quick openings in the Wild­cat
forward wall to bring home a
victory. Mackenzie at quarterback,
Boggess and Franklin at halves,-and
Holder at fullback .will be the open­ing
lineup for the Norsemen. The
line will be the same as the one in
last Saturday's game.

Outing Postponed By
Vanadis Bragi Club
The Vanadis Bragi party which
was to be held at Normalstad Mon­day,
November 19, has been post­poned
to the following Monday, No­vember
26. The postponement was
due to adverse weather conditions.
Clyde Kendall, chairman of the out­ing,
urges all Vanadis Bragi mem­bers
to sign up on the club bulletin
board «as soon as possible.
In selecting Normalstad, which is
located on Lake Whatcom about
seven miles from the Normal, as the
place for the outing, Kendall says,
"I should like to see Normalstad
used more frequently by the various
organizations of the school. I believe
it is an ideal spot for picnics and
think more interest should be taken
in it by the students."

Works Describes
Progressive Body

Blue-eyed Hero of Play Reveals All
In Exclusive Interview for the Viking
That the play "The Admirable Crichton" is subtly clever in Barrie's own
inimitable way, is the opinion of Randy Oberlatz, who plays the lead in
the coming production of the Speech department. This social satire centers
around the perfect butler, a part which Oberlatz has found "a most inter­esting
one to work with."
• jOberlatz is a handsome, blue^eyed blond, with curls that have brought
fdrtrf sighs of envy, and a voice that
has caused many a feminine heart to
flbtter. He likes dancing, enjoys
hiding and fishing, and has a han­kering
for tennis and golf. His two
favorite stars of the silver screen
are Leslie Howard and Joan Craw­ford.
i. After being graduated from What­com
high school, he- attended Nor­mal
rftjr, two years. During the five
yfears since he received his teaching
diploma, he has been employed as
Principal .of :Sumas- grade school,
liike the prodigal son or, as he* puts
k, thebadpeiijvy, he\has returned to
his alma mater, this time to work
for his bachelor or arts degree.
His dramatic experiences date
from his junior and senior years of
high school, when he played leads
in the class plays. While attending
Normal he headed the cast in
"Children of the Moon" in 1927. Al­ready
this season his, services have
been in great demand. He has been
starred in the two Theatre guild
productions this fall, "No More
Frontier" and. "As Husbands Go".
His latest venture is directing the;
Thespian club's Christmas play.:,,...

Viking center, was chosen by a
vote^cast Thursday night, as the
one deserving the most credit in
the line, and Art Bagley of Bel­lingham
ball carrying half­back
as being the bacxfield's
inspiration.
At a dinner sponsored by the
business men of Bellingham
last Wednesday, for the ath­letes
of Bellingham normal,
Adams Style Shop and J. C.
Penney Company offered an
award sweater for the Viking
football player who played the
most inspirational game in the
line against Cheney,- and an­other
for the one who starred
in the backfield. The winners
were decided by a vote of all
the players.

Author of Skeet
Is Former Pupil
Kibbe Recalls Walling as
In Training School
Pupil
Dow Walling, whose autobiography
was printed in last month's Literary
Digest, is a former pupil of the Cam­pus
Elementary school, recalls L. A.
Kibbe of the Education and Psycho­logy
department. "Walling," says
Mr. Kibbe, "was a star pitcher on an
undefeated Campus school baseball
team in 1920, when the team was
coached by Elwood C. Davis, now
connected with the department of
health at Pennsylvania State uni­versity.
Later, Walling made the
crew at the University of Washing­ton."
Walling, who is the author of the
comic strip "Skeet", in the New York
Herald Tribune, has made a phe­nomenal
success in his chosen field
since his graduation from the uni­versity,
according to Mr. Kibbe.

Richardson Heads Group in Charge of Securing
Faculty Guests for School Dance; Secretary Also to
Suggest Go-op Inventory Overseer and Accountant.

voted last Wednesday afternoon to take over that responsibility. This
was one of the first pieces of business voted upon by the. newly enlarged
board. Gordon Richardson was appointed by President Orvih Messegee
to report at the next meeting on a possible overseer and public accountant

Thanksgiving vacation. Ralph Shen -
Daniels Hall Wins
Judges Experience Difficulty
In Picking Best House ,
Prizes for Homecoming dec­orations
were awarded in Tues­day
morning's assembly. Dan­iels
hall won first place, a pen­nant,
with its design for the
opposing teams, a Viking ship
. and a tepee, and a general wel­come
sign. Harborview hall
came second, with its represen­tation
of a Viking football play­er
holding the scalps of the
Savages, and was presented a
lamp. Other organized houses
receiving honorable mention
were McCormick hall, Collett
court, Barton's hall and Edens
hall.
"There was considerable dif­ficulty
in judging the decora­tions
and next year we hope to
be able to give prizes of equal
value to the two winners; one
for appropriateness, and the
other for novelty," says Vene
H. Fisher, chairman of the dec­oration
committee.
Those judging the contest
were Miss Hazel Plympton,
Christine Albers, Constance In-gerson,
and Mr. Herbert Ruck-..
mick.
Christmas tuberculosis seals will
be on sale throughout the State of
Washington starting November 30.
The funds obtained from this sale
will make possible research work for
the prevention of tuberculosis.
Pioneer efforts in this field start­ed
when Dr. E. L. Trudeau began his
first laboratory at Saranac Lake,
N. Y. This served as an inspiration
to establish similar research labora­tories
throughout the c o u n t r y.
Among these were laboratories at
Baltimore, Md.; at Asheville, N. C.,
and at Denver, Colo.
In 1926 a gift of $100,000 from
Mrs. Josephine McDermott, of Se­attle,
in memory of her daughter,
made possible research work in tu­berculosis
at the University of
Washington. Before( this time, funds
were provided by the Washington
Tuberculosis association through the
sale of Christmas seals.

Wilson, To Lecture
In Wed. Assembly
Traveling by motorcycle through
the heart of Africa has been the
unique experience of Jim Wilson,
who will lecture here in a special
assembly at 11 o'clock Wednesday,
November 21. Classes for 11 o'clock
Wednesday will be held at 11 o'clock
Tuesday to clear the way for the
talk of this "modern Don Quixote."
Mr. Wilson has been in turn pro­fessional
musician, college professor,
rancher, journalist, and traveler ex­traordinary
in Alaska, Europe, Asia
and Africa, A detailed account of
his African trip, in which he trav­eled
overland more than 3,800 miles,
appears in the National Geographic
magazine for January, 1934. During
the past two years Mr. Wilson has
lectured to various audiences in this
country on the subject, "Africans
Are People." His,lectures are illus­trated
with motion pictures and col­ore^
stills, and show a religious and
political tolerance which is probably
the result of gregarious experiences
with many types of people.
