              Northern Wolves Down
Ellendale Pedagogues
SCORE IS 25 TO 7
North,ern's Offensive Is Surprise
To All ; Large Crowd See
Opening Game
Northern's 1935 grid forces made an
auspicious debut when they clawed the
Ellendale Teachers for a 25-7 victory
in their opening engagement at
Johnson Field Wednesday night.
Two deadly offensive thrusts in the
opening stanza settled the issue in
Northern's favor. The Wolves lost
little time in getting their attack un-der
way and before the season was
many minutes old they had scored
their first touchdown. Ellendale kick-ed-
off and Northern took possession
of the ball in their own territory. Aft-er
three offensive thrusts had failed
to net a first down, Pierce placed a
beautiful punt back of the Ellendale
10-yard mark and Trux Clement down-ed
the ball on the seven yard stripe
Ellendale's pedagogues attempted to
punt out of danger but Winjum re-turned
a short kick, 28 yards, to the
Ellendale seven-yard line. A few mo
ments later he crashed over the final
chalk mark for the first tally of the
new season. An attempted conversion
by a placement kick was hurried and
went wide of the goal posts and North-ern
assumed a 6-0 lead.
Showing no let-up in their vicious
offensive drive, t h e Northerners
scored again before the period had
ended. Ellendale again decided to
kick-off and after the kick had been
returned to the Northern 47-yard
stripe, Martz, doing a neat piece of
shifty open field running, lugged the
ball 21 yards to the North Dakotan's
:;2-yard mark. Pierce then passed to
Ray a few inches short of a touch-down
and a moment later Ray batter-ed
his way over the goal line for an-other
counter. The extra point was
converted on a pass from Pierce to
Weidenbach.
Ellendale's Dusties launched_a count- .
er offensive in the second canto ana
controlled the ball most of the per-iod,
drawing within one touchdown of
Northern before the half had ended.
Ackert's punt, which went out of
bounds on the Northern 2-yard stripe
paved the way for the score. The
Wolves attempted to kick out of dan-ger
and Ellendale returned to the 29-
yard line. Striegel then tossed a pass
to Evanson for Ellendale's only mark-er.
The same Striegel-to-Evenson aer-ial
combination accounted for the ex-tra
point.
Coach Carberry's forces ended the
scoring in the last half with a touch-down
each quarter. Hendrickson
blocked an Ellendale punt which was
recovered by Northern on the North
Dakotan's 21-yard mark. Pierce pass-ed
to Martz in the shadow of the goal
line and Martz toted the ball over for
the third counter. An attempted pass
to convert the extra point was incom-plete.
The fourth quarter touchdown
came from a sustained offensive drive
led by fullback Kaiser. Kaiser ac-counted
for the score with a short
plunge. A line-smash was tried to
bring the total number of points to 26
but fell short and Northern was
awarded the victory by a 25-7 tally.
N6rthern's offensive showing was
heartening to all her followers. It had
bee the general impression that
Northern would be weak on offense
and strong on defense this year but
the rense was clicking in acceptable
fashion in the opening contest.
Alumni Bulletin

Professor Dennery
To Lecture Oct. 3-4
IS EXPERT ECONOMIST
Noted Traveller Will Spend Two
Days At Northern In General
Lectures and Class Work
The first number of Northern's 1935-
36 Lecture Course will be presentea
October 3-4 by Professor Etienne Den-nery,
expert in international econom-ics.
Professor Dennery has had wide op-portunity
for travel and study in all
-parts of the world. After receiving a
University Agregation in 1926, the
University of Paris awarded him a
Kahn Traveling Fellowship. Travel-ing
as Kahn Fellow he visited Seattle,
Chicago, and other American cities.
In 1932 Professor Dennery went to
Manchuria as economic expert of the
Lytton Commission sent out by the
League of Nations. On his retina
from Manchuria he again visited the
United States. His third visit to the
United States was in 1933, on his way
to Banff, where he was sent as a dele-gate
to the Institute of Pacific Rela-tions.
At present he is professor at
the Ecole Libre des Sciences Politiques
and at the Institut des Hautes Etudes
Internationale of Paris.
Prof. Dennery is the author of a
number of publications consisting or
a series of thirty lectures given at the
European Centre of the Carnegie En-dowment
for International Peace. He
speaks English fluently and distinctly.
CAMPUS INFORMATION
Many improvements have been made
on the buildings and campus of
Northern during the summer, as re-ported
by Mr. LeRoss Morris, Super-intendent
of Buildings and Grounds.
Besides the usual cleaning, some
twelve or fifteen rooms in Graham
Hall were painted and plastered, and
all the floors and woodwork were var-nished.
The floor, too, of the Spaf-ford
gymnasium has been sanded and
filled with cement filler.
In the interests of economy, the old
ten-inch steam line leading into the
Industrial Arts Building was repair-ed
and a new, three-inch line laid with
it. The smaller pipe is fed by the
otherwise waste steam of the heating
pump exhaust and will be sufficient to
heat the building in mild weather.
For purposes of filing, estimating
repairs, and figuring overhead, a corn-plete
record was made of all the build-ings
and their contents. The cubic
feet of all rooms and the blackboard
and wall space were measured, and the
number of windows, ventilators, chairs
and other articles of furniture was re-corded.
The survey was extended
even to the kitchens and storerooms,
and it is thought that the records thus
made will save much time and trouble
in the future when such information
is for any reason desired.
Other improvements that may be
mentioned are the construction of a
gravel walk between Spafford and
Lincoln Halls, the latticework by the
greenhouse, and the painting of the
flagpole, seemingly to harmonize with
the off-campus water tank.
Some time in the future, Mr. Morris
stated, it is planned to tear up the
road by the Industrial Arts Building
and landscaping the entire area from
there to the Administration Building.
That work, as most of the rest has
been, will probably be done largely by
students working for tuition or board.
President Lawrence

knowledge of his subject.
The Ambassador Quartet, appearing
in February, present an unusual mu-sical
program. This male quartet of
singers and bell ringers have been re-ceived
with enthusiasm wherever they
have presented their numbers. They
were so well received here last year
that they were ask2u to return.
The Frazer-James dance group have

Are you afraid of snakes ? March 5,
Lew Johnson will demonstrate with
live specimens that there is no need to
fear members of the snake family.
According to Mr. Johnson, snakes are
your friends. School children safely
handle snakes after Mr. Johnson's
demonstration.
"The Wonders of Modern Science"

Campus dramatic addicts at North-ern
State Teachers College, and dram-atic
fans in and around Aberdeen, will
be given an excellent opportunity to
see some of Broadway's finest play
productions this winter if present
plans go through.
A branch of the National Playgoers
League has been organized in Aber-deen
with M. C. Lawson as president;
Dr. C: G. Lawrence, as vice president;
Mrs. John Jackson as secretary; and
F. B. Stiles as treasurer. The board
of directors is made up of a group of
prominent Aberdeen citizens.
The idea of the Playgoers League
of Aberdeen is to bring at least three
Broadway hit productions to Aberdeen
during the coming months. This will
be accomplished by what is known as
the membership plan. Under this plan
adults may join the League by paying
a $5.00 fee, for which they are entitled
to attend all three of the presenta-tions.
Students may secure the same
membership privileges for $1.50, a
real bargain. There will be no extra
charge for reserved seats or anything
else. Single admissions to non-
League members will range in cost
from $1.00 to $2.00 for each perform-ance.
For non-League students the
price each time will be 75c.
Among the plays that are included
on the list of possible selections fog
the performances in Aberdeen are
"The Bishop Misbehaves," "Big Heart-ed
Herbert," "Italian Fascisti Sing-ers,"
and several other famous pro-ductions.
Van Buren Perry Is
Assembly Speaker
Constitution Day was observed at
Northern, Tuesday, September 17,
with Judge Van Buren Perry of Aber-deen
delivering a scholarly address
during assembly period.
Judge Perry traced the 148 years
of history of the constitution from
1787 down to the present date. He al-so
described graphically events lead-ing
up to the adoption of the Consti-tution.
Judge Perry took the stand that the
Constitution should be amended only
after the greatest possible delibera-tion.
He advocated no specific consti-tutional
changes and attacked no pro-posed
amendment but urged that ev-eryone
give the matter deep thought
before voting to alter the fundamental
law of the land.
Professor Hiett Is
Assembly Speaker
Dr. Herbert Hiett, speaker at the
assembly period, last Tuesday, related
some of his experiences on a trip
which he and Mrs. Hiett made to Eng-land
this summer. Several interest-ing
shipboard incidents were related,
among them the ship's going througL
a field of icebergs. Dr. Hiett also told
of visiting the city of London, and de-scribed
the famous town as "sprawling
along the Thames" with no particular
center of activity such as is found in
the great American cities. Visiting
the house where Geoffrey Chaucer
lived was one of the high points of the
trip to Dr. Hiett. A visit to the fam-ous
Tower of London and to the
Church of St. Mary from which the
Bow-Bells called Dick Whittington and
his cat back to London were also de-scribed.
First Conference Game For Both
Teams ; Northern Will Try To
Get Revenge For Last Year's
Score Of 8 To 0
The lid will be blown off the 1935
South Dakota Intercollegiate football
title chase Friday night when the col-orful
Yellow Jackets from Spearfish
Normal journey to Aberdeen to do
battle with the Northern Wolves at
Johnson Field in a night contest. The
Yellow-Jacketed Warriors will be
making their first stand in defense of
their portion of the 1934 state champ-ionship
while Northern will be opening
her campaign for 1935 laurels.
Spearfish, ably tutored by Coach Paul
Rose, has set up an enviable reputa-tion
in State Conference circles in the
past few years, and will be attempting
to strike a winning pace in their quest
of another pennant. Northern, on the
other hand, will be striving for an up-set
victory in her drive to re-establish
herself as a leading power in the state
conference, after a short period in the
lower regions of the circuit standings.
Northern's chances of accomplishing
an upset over her favored West River
rivals will rest largely on Coach Car-berry's
ability to find able replace-ments
for Pierce, injured halfback;
and Christenson, stellar guard, who is
also on the incapacitated list. Both
men were injured in the State College
game last Saturday.
Not only will Northern be trying to
get off on the right foot in the cam-paign
for the 1935 gonfalon; she will
also be seeking revenge for the 8-0
beating she suffered at the hands of
the westerners last Gypsy Day.
The Wolves of 1935 are a pack of
fighters, as evidenced by their cour-ageous
showing at Brookings Satur-day.
They stand a fine chance of
opening their league schedule with an
upset win over their highly touted
foes. Most state sport critics have es-timated
the Wolves as the underdogs
in the coming fray and that is the po-sition
from which they fight the hard-est.
QUEEN AND MARSHAL
DETERMINED FRIDAY
Petitions for the candidates for
Gypsy Day Queen and Marshal were
available last Friday as the annual
campaign gained momentum. A mini-mum
of fifty signatures is required to
make the petitions valid, and certain
other qualifications had first to be dis-charged
by applicants. These requi-sites
included : the candidate must be
of the junior or senior classes and
have successfully carried twelve hours
of work the previous quarter in school.
Traditionally all candidates are re-quested
to possess dark hair; no bru-nettes
of the chemical variety would
be accepted, it was explained.
On Friday, Sept. 27, a special as-sembly
under the chairmanship of
George Hart, president of the student
council, will be held in the auditorium.
All students are urged to attend and
support their choices for Queen and
Marshal, for the results of Friday's
balloting will determine who will be
honored.
WOLVES LOSE HARD
GAME TO RABBITS
State College's fleet flock of Jack-rabbits
ran rampant over a courageous
crew of Carberry Clawers from North-ern
in a practice skirmish at Brook-ings,
Saturday. State College came
out on the long end of a 33-0 count.
The defeat was not the stiffest jolt
suffered by the Northerners during
the afternoon's play. Not even the
most rabbid rooters for the Wolves
had expected them to successfully
match points with the fast-stepping
