By Marsha Carpenter Enthusiasm ran high in the Syracuse section Saturday as the junior high boys romped to a 41-7 victory. One of the comments overheard when Syracuse received the first kick-off was “this is more exciting than the big ball games.” Quarterback Gary Scott maneuvered his team down the field and Steve Coburn carried the ball for the Jackets’ first touchdown of the season. Russel Ritter moved the ball across the line for the conversion making the score 7-0. The North Webster Trojans were unable to gain much yardage as Syracuse recovered a fumble in the last minutes of the first quarter. Bill Cutter went on to score the second touchdown for the Syracuse Yellow Jackets. Randj Gingerich carried the ball for the extra point* to end the first quarter of play. The second quarter got underway as North Webster intercepted a Syracuse pass and was downed on the eight yard line. Syracuse quickly regained possession as the Trojans fumbled on the ten yard line. The Jackets marched down the field and Jeff Hughes contributed the third touchdown and Russel Mikel plunged across the line for the extra point making the score for the first half 21-0. The half-time activity seemed to be fans racing to their cars to escape the cold weather, but they soon rushed to the sidelines when the players returned to the field. North Webster tightened up their defense and allowed Syrause only one touchdown in the third quarter made by Russel Mikel. Early in the fourth quarter, quarterback Tim Blue of North Webster called the first time out of the game. Webster broke out of the huddle and charged down the field to score the first Trojan touchdown. Longnecker scored the touchdown and carried the ball for the conversion. Syracuse quickly retaliated and went on to score two more touchdowns to clinch the victory. Touchdowns were scored by Russel Mikel and Steve Coburn. Coaches Schneck, Cobbs. Kurtz and Dick picked Joe Baumgartner as the outstanding lineman. Despite the fact this wasn’t “big time” football, fans saw their share of outstanding blocking, pj&sing and thrilling shoestring tackles. Everyone is anxiously awaiting next Saturday’s game between Milford and Syracuse. The enthusiasm is high for both players and fans. Let's keep it high and be out there to see for yourself how hard the boys have worked and the rewards they, as a team, are receiving. See you Saturday. Oct. 8, 2 p. m. at the Syracuse field.

around I I What will the theme be for the new Wawasee high school? That is the question that faces the advisory committee, made up of some 30 students of the Syracuse, North Webster and Milford schools. The committee, working under the guidance of Jerry Deeter. has under consideration a lake theme or an Indian theme. The committee, of course, can only make recommendations and the school board must make them official. Two students from each grade, 7 through 11, or each school make up the committee. The group has already met once this year. They are considering: school colors, school nickname, school song. | school hymn, school yells, school yearbook name, school newspaper name, chibs desirable in the new ' high school, a school crest, and design award letters for athletics, band, scholastic, debate, etc. How democratic! We have already heard the suggestion that the committee make sure it comes up with an original school song, not a warmed over version of the Notre Dame song. Perhaps a contest is in order. I Well, anyway the show is on the road. • • • Syracuse has become the land of the flying preachers. On Saturday, Oct. 1, two pastors soloed at Wawasee Airport. Father Richard John of Our Lady of the Lakes Seminary made his solo flight in a rain storm. ‘ He did a fine job,” states Mrs. Lyle Kell, who watched from the ground with fingers crossed. Not to be outdone. Rev. Kennard Robinson, pastor of the Syracuse EUR church, made his solo the same day. Any more? Speaking of airplanes, golfers on Wawasee golf course Sunday p.m. were disnjayed to look down the fareway to see an airplane being pulled behind a tractor on a mudboat. file plane was a seaplane and was being taken from Lake Wawasee wa-1 tens to be stored for the winter at the Wawasee Airport hangars. The plane belongs to Fred Gramme. Elkhart county commissioner Warren Shively told friends the other day about the time he and his new bride were living in Milford his license plate came up missing. It turned out the henchmen of the ill famed Hoosier John Dillinger stole the pbte for their personal use. Opal Holloway Linton, of 2083 Hamilton Road, Okemos, Mich., had fond memories stirred by an article in this column recently telling about the copy of a booklet called “Reminiscences, Views, Map and Directory of Milford, Ind.,” dated 1892.

She writes: "This item interested | me greatly. Do you think there is . any kind of a chance there might be another copy around? I would give anything to have it. I’ll send postage and any charges for it. “I was born in Milford in 1892 and my father opened a business there that year. He was E. Hollowav, Jeweler, and I was Opal Holloway. It would add greatly and richly to my memoirs, geneology and records. "It would be a real and perfect find any keepsake for me, and be greatly treasured in my memory book. “With mv fingers crossed, sincerely, Opal Holloway Linton." Anyone with a copy’ they would like to part with? The new car showings went over big last week end. and another one, the Rambler, will be shown at Wawasee Motors, Inc., this week end. Dealers are adding a new feature to their showings—called “the old pizzaz.” C. S. Myers Ford at Milford had a Syracuse teen-age band in their service department Saturday night, and what a crowd of youngsters they had! C. S. said, “It’s a new bunch of boys and girls, but they’ll be buying cars in a few short years.” McCormick-Cutter added a new service, a Sun auto diagnostic service, to bring them in, and it worked real well, according to Bill C. A 1926 Maytab washer is on display in front of Love Furniture & Appliance, which they took in on trade. Instead of junking the very servicerfile machine, they chose to paint it up, and use it for an advertising

piece. It was one of the first model washers Maytag put out. Dinah Hubbartt says, “And it’s not for sale.” ♦ ♦ • Over North Webster-way the school had a surprise fire drill last Thursday afternoon. Some prankster pulled the fire alarm cord and sounded the alarm. Principal Wendell Bryant said it worked out all right, and all 759 students (grades 1-12) were out of the building in 45 seconds. He also added that he has narrowed the name of the culprit down to three. BARBARA McFADDEN HITS CAMPAIGN TRAIL The seriousness of Ralph G. Me Fadden’s bid for Congress is raising brows in many of the nation’s political newsrooms. McFadden, who hopes to unseat Charles Halleck as the Second District Congressman, has steadily increased his tempo, cutting deeply into areas his opponent had considered “safe” Republican areas for the past 32 years. Now his wife has taken to the campaign trail. Normally, Mrs. Barbara McFadden is quite contented with her duties as wife and mother. A nati\£ of North Manchester, Barbara grew* up in a close knit family. She easily assumed the role as wife of a Church of the Brethren minister. But now as the campaign grows more intense, Barbara McFadden dons her fall suits, her pilgrim pumps and, if need be, her overshoes and raincap, and heads out campaigning on her own. Actually Barbara has had a planned schedule for weeks, and its requirements take her away from home much of the time. She has attended so many fish fries that she claims she has contributed to a definite decline in the nation’s fish population. But she loves the campaigning. “I’m not a bit tired, because I know Ralph is going to win and I’m helping him,” Barbara said. A speech minor at Manchester college. Barbara is at home on the speaker’s rostrum, looking anything but a freshman campaigner. This week shes’ getting lots of help. Wives of Indiana’s state political candidates, as well as Mrs. Roger D. Branigin and Mrs. Robert Rock, wives of the governor and lieutenant governor, joined Mrs. McFadden in the Second District portion of “Petticoat Caravan” Tuesday. The congressional district, in which Barbara McFadden and over 60 thousand other wives live, was the scene of four of the caravan’s 35 scheduled stops that will eventually cover 2,000 miles in the two hectic weeks. In each district wives of local candidates join the caravan for a oneday swing through the area. Later, as the entourage of state candidates’ wives leave one district, they are joined by the wives of candidates of the next district. The Second District program began at 8:30 a.m. where the group breakfasted at the Flame restauurant in Lafayette. Mrs. Philomina Dunn, Tippecanoe County Democratic vicechairman, was the hostess. The women proceeded to Fowler for a coffee klatch provided by Mrs. Eldo Wallace, Benton county vicechairman. At 12:15 p.m., luncheon m Monticello was held at the Pirate s Roost by White County Democratic rice chairman, Mrs. Ray Clemens. In the afternoon the caravan, led by Mrs. McFadden, traveled to Rensselaer. Mrs. Evelyn 718 north College, arranged a delightful social tea. Jasper county vicechairman is Mrs. Augusta Charles The party arrived in the evening hi Wabash county where they attended a fish fry on the 4-H grounds. Mrs. Hamlet Boisson. Wabash county vicechairman, was in charge.
