              HISPANICO CHORUS.. .will present varied program      —
Famed Choral Group to Appear
in Second Artist Series Program
The Orfeo Hispanico Chorus from the island of Majorca will
appear in Warriner Hall Auditorium Thursday, November 30 at 8:15
p.m. This second number of the Artist Course series has been
called the "Jewel of the Mediterranean" by its promoters.
This group of musical entertainers first appeared 18 years ago.
To ,the early music of the Hispanico world and liturgical literature,
the group has added the choral masterpieces of classical, romantic,
and modern composers.
The group also presents many
arrangements of the folk music
of Majorca, Catalonia, and Castile which" should round "out a
colorful program.
Student tickets for the
second Artists' Course may
be obtained at the ticket
window, Monday, November 27, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m.,
announced Dr. J. W. Foust.
Students must present
their Activity Cards when
getting tickets. A maximum
of four Activity tickets may
be presented by one person.
To heighten the effect of its
folk songs, the chorus has introduced dance motifs and the accompaniment of guitars to its
program.
Completely unlike other
groups the concert world has
known, the chorus has a unique'
entertainment value. This'is'
true in a large degree because
of the degree of perfection it
has achieved in bringing its
arrangements io the musical
world.
Making one of its few American tours, the chorus arrived in
the United States in October and
will complete engagements in
January. A native of Majorca
island, Juan Maria Thomas, personally directs the troupe.

(ACP) A new fad has hit the
University of Nebraska campus.
Instead of being pinmates, it is
strictly the latest thing in love
affairs for a couple to be "cuff-
mates." '    s
To become "cuffed" the only
thing a fellow needs to have is a
pair of dime-store police handcuffs which he and his girl may
sport together.

Gridders Close 1950 Season
With Six Wins, Four losses
by Charles Swiizer '
Despite Hillsdale's stunning upset over Central last Saturday,
the Chippewas finished with a very respectable record of six "wins •
and four losses. Only five Chip editions have won six games or better in Central's 47 years of participation in the gridiron sport.
' Coach Warren Schmakel and his assistants, Jim Jones and "Doc"
Sweeney, deserve a pat on the back for a hard job well done. Central
has come a long way from a year ago at this time; in fact, the
Chips won only six games in "the  1948 and 1949 seasons, combined.

She Shmoo Saga?
According   t o   Webster's^
book the late She Shmoo'
Saga.is as,misnamed as, one
celebration can be.
Consider "She". It is
.pointed, out that it is not
 the "she" who is honored
..during the Saga. The "he"
...is the exalted - every phase
•..Di the celebration.being
dedicated  to  his  comfort
and- well-being.
..  -A Shmoo is a little pear-
shaped character, famed for
•its edibility. While there.are .
undoubtedly some at Central who answer this description,   these   individuals
rarely show themselves. -
And "Saga". This is away
off the track. A Saga, says
the dictionary, is a medieval story, legendary, of an
Icelandic '. hero o r family.
Whether or'not Sadie Hawkins was of Icelandic extraction is a moot point.
Schmakel worked ' all season
with a squad that was sprinkled
with sophomores at each position.
At one time he had seven sophs
in the starting lineup. Schmakel
brought along his crop of green
sophomores so well that t they
were the leaders in almost every
statistical department. •
TTHE CHIPS opened the season by downing Ahna College, a
squad that went on to win the
MIAA crown, 19 to 0. Western
Illinois stopped the Maroon and
Gold 28 to 7 on the following
weekend. Central again lost on
the. successive weekend to a
strong Western Michigan squad
21 to 13, only after playing a nip
and tuck battle all the way.
Illinois Normal, IIAC champions,  handed  the  Chips  their
third   straight   defeat   by   ihe
score of 14 to 13. But the Chips
then turned an about-face and1
whipped   favored   Bowling
/Green 12 to 0 ai Homecoming.
Depauw .fell before the Chippewas 33 to 20;' Michigan Normal   succumbed   to   the   raging
Chippewas. 26 to 7; Northern Illinois fell by the way side to the
tune of 26 to 14;.and Ferris provided the Chips' a. field. day_ as
they romped "to a 4Q to 0 victory.
Then   Hillsdale,   experiencing   a
dismal season, rose, to the occasion and "dumped, the"*highly-favored Centralites. 21 to 2u, when
the Chips had. the first year of
seven' wins since  1938 .in their
grasp.
ANDY MACDONALD...supe-
armed quarterback, surpassed all
Central passing records as he led
the nation's... small college .quarterbacks, -in passing, this^year.
Andy tossed 200 passes and" com-1
pleted 109 for 1577 yards. Fifteen
of his aerials were good for
touchdowns and only 12 were
intercepted.
Andy added 22 points himself,
scoring one touchdown and kicking 16 extra points. Gary" Baillargeon amassed 493 yards in 94
rushing attempts for a neat 5.2
yard average per try. Don Weldon made 267 yards in 83 carries,' and Ray -"Hoot" Dombroski
compiled 254 yards in 72 running assignments.
Weldon' led the team in scoring with 42 points, followed by
Baillargeon with 36 and Partenio
with 30.
