1946 season and its first over BOw^r

Friday night <?n Alumni fields
The break which gave Centrgl
the ball game came in the second
quarter as Bowling Green quarterback Russ Maples fumbled and
John Andrews recovered for the
Chips on the Falcon 24-yard line.
On the first play Dale Wares,- Central halfback, completed & pass to
end Ted Kjolhede for a first down
on the Bowling Gjreen 14-yard
Ime. Momentarily it looked as if
the Indians were through as two
plays found Central back on the
12-yard line. But on third down,
Wares stepped back to pass and
then gave/ the ball to halfback Terry Carey on the old statue of liberty play and Carey went over for
the score. Tony Pabalis converted
and that was the end of the scoring as Central led 7-0.
Thereafter, the Chips concentrated on a defensive game as Andrews,
Ed Weede, Dick Lockman, Bill.
Ward, Don Orr, Kjolhede, Ed
Sehuknecht,* and Isham Williams
combined their talents to keep the
Falcons at a safe distance from the
Central goal line.
On paper, the Chips held a slight
edge over the Ohioans as Central
tallied five first downs to Bowling
.Green's four. Coach Finch's men
feained 94 yards rushing and com-
.pleted one out of four passes for
a gain of 14 yards. The Falcons
totaled 56 yards rushing and com-
I pleted three out of'^14 passes for
a."total'of 29 yards.* Both teams-
punted often, Bowling Green eleven times as compared to an even
dozen, for the Chippewas.
STARTING LINEUPS

<'Hey! Who swiped my blue
pants?" Then, as Montmorency
reached for his shoes and knocks
his head resoundingly on the upper bunk somebody throws the
pants hi his face and heis.almosp
ready to* trot merrily off to personnel and find outt what this is
all about.
In case you, the reader, are still
in doubt as to the subject of this
iit|'|e disseftatisn.', "Montaoreitw
(last week we called him Bill fout
hpr ihe'ir turnecj up , his nose; ^t
that * pfaih,' ordinary - name) is ' a
resident of that never to be fpjrji
gotten address known to the pfet-
man, as Keeler Union—Gym An*-
nex. That, high-sounding phras| jiis
just the postwar version of what
•used to be the "little,gym."
At the beginning of the semester,
approximately sixty men were
"shunted into ithe little gym as the
Washington Street housing project
was not ready. Now it appears that
the. little gym will be used as residence quarters through the first
semester. However, many of the
meft'have- feiiifee found other rooms
and the number of Gym- Annex
dwellers has. dwindled to nearly 35.
Numerous problems have arisen
in trying to make the men as cefhi-
fdBtable as possible,-in their tenfti-
orary quarters. As of how the' bl|«
§est .gripe is the lack of study iq,~
■■ln1fties.'r-#A',n^1dtie;-,% the ,li|tle.
gym is entirely inadequate for study
purposes and the men have sought
tBffiKBKKKSI^'t^I'^SWiOK
to .use some other room in the gymnasium building as a study room.
As this story was being, written;
nothing had yet been done about
it. Of course, there are the usual
discomforts   of   barracks   life   and
these discomforts have been the
.subject of many jibes from returned* servicemen. But most important, the men have a place to
stay.and an opportunity to attend
college, which this year is no small
privilege." 136 it ' must be remembered, as Mr. Bovee said in last
week's assembly, that the college is
doing everything in its power , iijo
'in'afee tilings' as livable as possible
uHder crowded conditions and' 'a
little?:patience,will make the wait-
rijjg .peptid much shorter^
