past three years he has been a full member of the Col·
lege Board of Trustees where he serves as chairman of
the trustee committee on academic planninp' His rare
insight into educational problems, his wisdom in meeting
them, and his clear and logical thinking are being felt in

No word picture, nor description of his achievements,
can do justice to this radiant Christian man whose warmth
of personality, interest in people, love for his Alma
Mater, and devotion to the Lord, make him truly a
distinctive memberof Wheaton's family.

THE SPORTS STORY
BY DALE ROBISON
Football
A last minute field goal attempt by Wheaton tackle
Jim McKellin fell wide, and Northern Illinois' Buskies
held on to the ball the remaining seconds to win 7-6 in
a non-conference season opener on September 29.
Wheaton threatened twice in the first quarter, carrying
the ball to the Northern 18 yard line before being set
back by a clipping penalty, and later down to the 32
yard line before running out of downs. The Lone Crusade): tally of the night came after a blocked kick by
end Bill Boppel on the Buskie 24 yard line. Balfback
Kirk Bobolth scored from two yards out minutes later.
The Buskies knotted the score in the third period on
a 47 yard off tackle sprint by halfback Tom Skubich.
Freshman guard Jim Demmitt booted the game-winning
extra point. Wheaton's last chance came after a Buskie
fumble in the final stanza. The Crusader' s took the ball
into Northern territory as far as the 14 yard line, before
the Buskie defense jelled and McKellin was called upon
to kick. Bis attempt was wide to the left.
One week later, the Crus ad ers were right in the thick
of the CCI pennant race, pounding out a decisive 73-0
victory over Elmhurst. Fullback Dick Camp led the
attack against the Bluejays, scoring three touchdowns
on runs of 12, 12, and 17 yards. Wheaton halfback
George MacKenzie, fleet '160 pounder from Kenilworth,
N.]., tied a CCI record when he went 94 yards from
scrimmage for a touchdown in the second quarter.

Prexy Says
Life is complicated enough as it is; and
yet we try to add to its perplexity. The
secret of the Christiiin life' is its utter simplicity. Share sorne of the words that l
have been giving to yOung hearts here on
campus, like the se lines from A. B. Simpson:
Once 'twas busy planning,
Now 'tis trustful prayer;
Once 'twas anxious caring,
Now He has the care;
Once 'twas what l wanted,
Now what Jesus says;
Once 'twas constant asking,
Now 'tis ceàseless praise.

Next big obstacle for the Orange 'n Blue is a burly
Augustana outfit. The Vikings sport a 'line that averages
over 200 pounds per man, and a versatile backfield.
Augie head coach Vinc Lundeen has tabbed the 195,6
Vikings as, "My best team in ten years." Augustana,
rated as a darkhorse CCI contender, dropped their opening game to North Central 14-7, but will be shooting

The Guest Book
Dr. Clyde Kilby is a wonderful fellow. He's the big
boss in the English department, you know, and he's
helping me to write better. It gets me discouraged when
1 find out how it ought to be done-and 1 may just have
to he myself. Anyhow he tried.
Mrs. Kathrine Tiffany is my friend, too; and J'm
thankful. She makes life rich and wonderful for many
other pèople. You should hear how her former students
ask about her when they conSe here. She will always be
one of Wheaton's best English teachers.
Weil, while 1 pondered about aU the people and how
to say it, 1 heard them read a letter from a Wheatonite
abQut her guest book (al ways fuU because of her big
heart) so here's Betsy Parker (Mrs. Harvey) Shank
talking to you from Redwood City in California:
"Sometimes when we sit down and 'look over' the
days, we begin to wonder if any others of Wheaton
vintage, either ex or alum, are às wonderfuUy surrounded
by other Wheatonites in aU their açtivities. This summer
as we have been 'round the country, we have come to
the conclusion just nothing would run if there weren't
Wheaton folk to run them. With Homecoming so close
and the Alumni Magazine just now in the mail, we
become even Il little more Wheaton nostalgie. Last year
was so much fun, and the Alumni Banquet real feUow·
ship-all of which we shall have to miss this year.
"But 1 thought maybe you' d like to glance thru sorne
of the places we've been this summer, and see sorne
snaps (a couple of them are nearby somewhere). At
Montrose, Pa., where Aunt Edith (Torrey) has also
spent sorne of her summer, we enjoyed visitingseveral
'times a day with Kay Barron Smith. AI was home too,
and Harve and 1 thoroughly enjoyed the quiet moments
of the little town and good fdends with whom to share
them. Harvey, Jr., and Gordon, Al and Kay's eleveo·
year·old boy, had a real time fishing in the lake-per the
picture. Our greatest Wheaton gathering was at Mt.
Hermon here in California during the Golden Anniver~
sary week. Every night after the evening meeting 15 to
30 of us enjoyed coffee together. What a wonderful ti~e
of' fellowship we had! Mrs. Corinne Smith was there
must of the week with Sue (McGill), but they were
so bus y 1 scarcely saw them, to my utter frustration aS
1 did so want them here for dinner.

Mt. Hermon the most of one month. Enclosed pictures
.vere were taken in the spring at the famous Nut Tree near
'\ve. Sacramento where we all meet once a year. We think
the collection of children in the one photo speaks well
o S, for Wheaton's future! Two weeks ago Parks came over
[ich~, and we had tbe newly-arrived Bob and Ruth Kunz DerOer W' olfes in for coffee after both the men had spoken at
Ven. CBMC meetings. Just after Mt. Hermon, Glen and Clare
(Touey) Johnson and four children were here a week,
nar. lIying out on August 28 to their mission station in Japan.
gree Just before Clare and Glen came, Dorothy Daniel Griset
It al '43, her husband, who is a CBMC international director,
and their /ive children, were here for a day.
"Last week we had a goodbye dinner for Ernie Smyth
and his family, moving to Los Angeles after nine years
in this area.We ~hall miss them very much since they
are the only Wheaton folk who have been in our church
with us. Last night Bob and Marian Bailey Foster were
here from Long Beach. Madan spoke to the quarterly
women's meeting a,t Wilb4r Westerdahl's Mission Covenant Church.
"One day in July whed 1 was home briefly from Mt.
Hermon and had just put on old working clothes, the
big doorbell rang. Thinking it was one of the neighborhood
he's mob that is always here, ànd because of which we have
'hen nicknamed our house the'Shank Reck Center,' 1 called
lave cheerily, 'Come in:: To my great dismay (the work
clothes !) l' looked 'up to see Ed Bouslough! He was in
l'm. the area for Westmont, and 1 was pleased to see him
lany: and hear ail about Betty (Whitaker) Bouslough and
ents' the children. We, are always thrilled to have Wheaton
; be friends here, and wish they would feel free to calI on
US even though 1 might not have known them at Whea10W
ton. 1 even thought of asking you about putting in an
nite 'ad' to that effect, especially for missionaries, in the
big new Alumni Directory!
'. "$pace and time have run out. Certainly 1 am thankful
ank
evéry day for Wheaton and the friends 1 have because
the of Wheaton, and the oneness we Wheatorütes alwaY3
Iton feel because of our Lord. Harve and 1 have already come
to the conclusion we would not only think of the Col:
!ege for the children, but the Academy, too, if the way
~s made clear. We pray each day for Wheaton's ministry
round the world and for the dedicated lives on the
campus who mold young lives for His glory."

VICTORY
"There is a method of experiencing victory. Jesus Christ, the Captain of our salva- .
tian, will give us victory in the power of
His Holy Spirit. He won it by His death
and. resurrection. He is absolutely sovereign,
beyond our understanding, ·in ail the affairs
of our lives. This battle is fought in prayer.
If we believe the spiritual is more real th anthe material we will pray and believe. In
prayer we face Jesus Christ ane! are fired
with love, faith and courage. In prayer we
frankly admit the enemy's power and are
humbled. It takes determination and time.
It means the melting of that core of independence and rebellion tO'ward God very
deep within us. It is a mighty weapon before God. This specific warfare-for the
salvation of souls . . . necessitates for you
and me a deeper pledge of devotion to
God, a devotion, to be willing to spend
ourselves out for Him."
