| Summary: | Junk The Johnnies' Rockets Skyward As Battle Cry GRIM DETERMINATION marks the faces of Assistant Coach Norman Nordstrand, left, Coach Joe Rognstad, center, and Captain Bob Nick, right, as they map final plans for "Junk-ing the Johnnies" this afternoon. Victory today will gain a tvo-fold objective for Cobbers: Add perfect touch to home-coming and gain revenge for last year's drubbing. Lambda Delts, Delta Rho Win First In Window Competition By ALF STAVIG Just as most Cobbers of Scandinavian ex-traction enjoy "dunking their doughnuts" so "JUNKING THE JOHNNIES" is the only thing that today will satiate the desire of Joe Rogn-stad's Concordia team which still remembers vividly last year's conference race. It was George Durcnberger's Cardinal and Blue team which knocked the Cobbers from the conference title by scoring a 25 to 7 vic-tory last year. The Johnnies had been defeat-ed in two games but "rose to the heights" to defeat the Cobbers on that occasion. This fall the situation is reversed. The John-nies have been undefeated in four conference starts and need a victory in this game to win undisputed possession of the conference title. The Cobbers are pointing for their first con-ference victory after dropping three successive league games. Some may think that the homecoming game this afternoon will be a drab affair, but with 1000'ballons to be released at the game and the fire and enthusiasm of the Cobber football team and fans, it looks like the most colorful home-coming in Concordia history. Yes, everything has been1 arranged—particularly a hot reception for the Johnny team. The reception committee, 11 strong Cobber gridders, will give the visitors a rather unorthodox welcome at 2:00 p. m. During the past two weeks Coaches Joe Rognstad and Norman Nordstrand have been unable to conceal the unmistakable improve-ment their team has been making. Attitude- of varsity members is sullen, quiet determination with the inference: "We'll show our best on the field and that will be good enough to down the Johnnies." Major job will be to stop Roche and Calla-nan, fleet Johnny backs, who are rated at all" conference timber. Coach George Durenber-gers warning to his team is to bottle up Burck-ard and Piltingsrud, who arc the two most dangerous backs in the conference. In a bit of prognostication we'll literally go out on "the gangplank" and pick the Cobbers to play an inspired brand of ball and defeat • the Johnnies. So come evcnfall the most-talkcd- of-event of the day will be grid history —CONCORDIA'S 13 TO 7 VICTORY OVER ST. JOHNS! THE CONCORDIAN VOLUME XXX. Z-348 CONCORDIA COLLEGE, MOORHEAD, SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1938. NUMBER 7. Lambda Delta Sigma for the wo-men's societies and Delta Rho for the men's groups captured first places in the homecoming window contest. Alpha Zeta Phi and Atheni-an were second for the women and men, respectively. Judges were R. L. Wheeden, art instructor at Fargo high school and C. A. Mattingly, Fargo interior de-corator. "Excelsior," based on Longfellow's poem, is the theme of the Lambda Delta Sigma window. The young mountain climber pictures the con-tinuous striving of the Christian to reach higher ideals and to attain to a life more Christ like. Four hands representing the cam-pus literary societies extended in cooperation are symbolized in the Delta Rho window. Truth and jus-tice are pictured as "results. The Alpha Zeta Phi window rep-resents the figure of an archer with the motto, "It's the aim of the soul that determines the goal." Homecoming is theme of the Ath-enian window, which pictures a ship entering harbor greeted by q^ girl standing on the dock. The ship represents Cobbers returning to homecoming; the girl, the students welcoming them back. A ship, typifying the life of a Sunday Music Hour To Originate In Chapel Homecoming visitors and students are invited to attend the broadcast of the Concordia Music hour at 4:30 p. m. Sunday over WDAY, the pro-gram originating this week from the chapel as a special feature of reunion festivities. Howard Nelson '36, WDAY staff member, who is in charge of ar-rangements, will announce the pro-gram. Morris Fredericks *26, presi-dent of the college alumni asso-ciation, will bring greetings. Alumni who will appear on the program are Blanche Waller '32 piano soloist; John Moan' 32, vocal and piano soloist and Donald Berg-lund '37, flute soloist. Christian, with Christ as the helms-man, is portrayed by the Alpha Kappa Chi. According to the theme, the Christian has to employ the navigating instruments, the Word of God, the chart and the means of grace, the compass, which the Helmsman has supplied to guide everyone to the port of Heaven. The centennial slogan, "The March of Faith," is portrayed in the Nu Sigma Rho window, with the small log church at Muskego and the Concordia seal pictured. As the builders of that log church were guided by the light from the cross of Jesus Christ, so Christian edu-cation has been led by the same radiance. Depicting the world-wide spirit of Christianity, the Alpha Epsilon Sigma window has a minature of the world globe on a deep blue background of stars and plan-ets. A spotlight puts a white cross on the sphere, symbolizing Concordia's extension of Christ's kingdom. As Cobbers, released from a time for duty, come back to Concordia for homecoming, the Mondamins picture a homing pigeon finding its way home. Like the pigeon, Cob-bers also have an unfailing Guide which leads them home. Concordia Senior Wins State Honors A Concordia senior, Gordon C. Larson, has crashed the ranks of prize-winning poets by capturing first place in the adult class of a contest soonsored by the Minnesota Poets league. Larson's poem was titled "Return." Another contest, sponsored joint-ly by the Minnesota league and the National Thanksgiving association, has been announced. Purpose of the contest is to create interest in making Thanksgiving day a patri-otic as well as religious holiday. Cobbers interested in entering are asked to see Prof. C. E. Bale, English department head, for con-test rules.
