As a result, the information that is to follow in the result of the investigation that has been made. in 1921 the two teams met for the first time on the gridiron and the Bulldogs were defeated 7 to 6 as a result of failing to add the point after their touchdown. The Swedes were outplayed in every phase of the game, the Bulldogs making 16 first downs to the Swedes 4. The game was played at Lindsborg. ( In 1922 Bethany took advantage of a McPherson fumble In a field of mud and its eight plunges they put the ball over. It rained that day and the game was played in the minute quar- ter. The score was 6 to 0 in favor of the Swedes. The Bulldogs were champions in the Kansas conference in 1923. This was the first time they were ever able to outscore the Swedes. They did it in the Armistice Day game. The Bulldogs made 22 first downs and at no time did the Sweeds make yarrdage. Bulldogs 7, Swedes 3. Bethany 9, Bulldogs 6, the score, read in 1924. This was the first time the thing was not settled on the gridiron.

THEBy the DOPE Sport BUCKET Editor The big thing to keep in mind these days is that we play the Swedes on Thanksgiving Day and that we aim to beat them this year and also that the great day is but two days off, the game but about fifty hours away now. There is always a lot of speculating done as to the probable outcome of this annual fray and the unexpected or the impossible is just sure to happen each year. At any rate the Bull-( dogs have their hardest game ahead pf them and they realize it too. It was a touching scene in the dining hall last Monday evening to watch the expressions change on the faces of the fellows at the football table who had played a Swede Game before and knew something of its signifi- cance. when the other students started to sing our favorite "M. C. Will Shine To Night" with the "Swedes Will Weep" application. The latest information on the pre- season basketball games is briefly this the University of Mexico will play here on January the ninth, Mc- Pherson willing: Gardner is trying or is in the process of getting away- from-home games with the following: Baylor University at Waco, Texas; Rico Institute at Houston, Texas; ; Texas State Unversity at Austin and with Texas Christian College at Fort Worth. Among the teams mentioned are some of the strongest basketball squads in the Lone Star state as well as in the South. lt is planned that the Bulldog cagers spend the early part of the winter in the balmy southern climate in order to be in the best of shape for the stiff Kansas conference schedule that will be theirs in 1930. BEAT THE SWEDES!
