DR. FRANK J. PROUT, President
To Our Homecoming Friends: The day we have long been thinking about is here. We are happy, as you are, that after four years the war conditions are ended and we are privileged again to assemble at a homecoming and meet our friends of old. You are finding conditions changed. With our 3900 students we are crowded to the place where it is not pos- sible to provide you with the housing and eating facilities which, as hosts, we wish we might give you. We ask you to be tolerant and understanding and trust that you will adjust yourself well to our new conditions. Please be sure that we are very happy that you are here. We welcome another group of guests this afternoon—the football team and its friends from Oberlin College. Over a long period of years Oberlin has been noted for its excellent athletic teams and its perfect sportsmanship. Our greetings to this fine group of friends. We are honored to have them participate in this homecoming ceremony. Cordially, FRANK J. PROUT Page 1 HONOR ROLL We salute the hundreds of Bowling Green State University men who served so well with the armed forces in World War II — and — We mourn the death of 39 or more men who paid the Supreme Sacrifice

Bowling Green State University was among the limited number of institutions in the country that was able to maintain intercollegiate sports without interruption during the late war. The institution felt extremely fortunate in this regard and is deeply indebted to the United States Navy for locating one of its fine V-12 units here because without it, this campus would have been forced to discontinue its intercollegiate program as did so many others. The name of the Falcons became most familiar throughout the world as her basketball teams answered three successive Madison Square Garden tournament invitations with splendid records, the news appearing in service papers everywhere to the joy and pride of our boys in uniform. But basketball was not all. In baseball and track the Falcons won state titles with glittering performances too and the name of Bowling Green gained increased prestige among our Ohio neighbors. A limited activity was carried on in tennis and swimming also. 1 Now, with nearly 2,400 men enrolled, Bowling Green is returning to a complete program of major and minor sports by the renewal of cross-country and golf, the restoration of swimming and tennis to a full activity basis and the continuation of all of our major sports. The athletic department looks forward to an early resumption of wrestling and other sports, which were just getting a good start when war forced their curtailment. In the following pages will be found reviews of the intercollegiate program for Bowling Green.
FOOTBALL MENTOR J-V FOOTBALL The tremendous turnout of candidates for foot- ball so swamped the Bowling Green coaching staff this fall that a division was decided as desirable to give some of the men needing more experience the training that it is hoped will prepare them for the coming years. Coach Fred Marsh, regular Fresh- man Coach, was assigned the job of heading the staff for the Junior Varsity and is assisted by Jim Whittaker. The "Rinkey-Dinks" have displayed a lot of pep and have provided the cannon fodder for the var- sity in scrimmages, using play of BG opponents brought home by scouts and preparing themselves for an abbreviated schedule of games with other Junior Varsities. Early this fall they battled to a 7-7 tie with the Jay Vee club of Ohio Wesleyan, outplaying the Bishops but being tied by a 95 yard pass inter- ception by the foe. They played their second game at Kent State Friday, Nov. 1, but as this goes to r press before the game is played, the result is not available for publication here. Marsh's squad plays one home game this season -> and that will be a return game with Ohio Wesleyan on November 9th. The "Rinkey-Dinks" finish the season at Oberlin against the Yeomen Jay-Vees on ROBERT H. WHITTAKER November 15. Head Football Coach The coaching staff has been watching the develop- ment of many of the players on this squad, antici- pating the use of many of them in competition with Bob WhittaJker, "The Bear," is in the varsity in 1947 and it is believed that many his 6th season as head football coach of them will be valuable assets in future years. here and is highly regarded every- where for his success as a mentor.

Coach Harold Anderson can call on these returning lettermen for his basketball varsity this season. The eight men on this page were members of the squad which won 27 and lost 5 last season. Anderson's four-year record here shows the Falcons winning 91 games and losing only 18. The climax of last season was the winning of the Chicago Round Robin tournament by beating Ok- lahoma A. & M. in the finals 48 to 37.

Page 27 The veteran of the athletic staff is Warren E. Steller, who started his 23rd year on this campus this fall. "Nig" is no stranger to today's opponent, Oberlin, for his fame still lives on their campus where his football feats stamped him as one of the all-time great Yeomen in the late 'teens. Steller's long service here has includ- ed 11 years as head football coach, two years as basketball coach and 22 years as baseball coach. TRACK Track and field activities operated through the war in a rather curtailed fashion here at Bowling Green with the exception of 1943 when Coach Bob W.hittaker's Marine and Sailor bolstered squad stepped out against all state opposition to win every available title. That year the Falcons not only won all dual meets but swept the field at Baldwin-Wallace in the Ohio A.A.U. meet and then went to Delaware the follow- ing week to defeat all foes, including Ohio State, in the annual Ohio College Meet at Ohio Wesleyan. After that the school was not so fortunate in BASEBALL its material and the record has been spotty.

Muellich F. Marsh Page 28 Golf Bowling Green is now planning to field a team in intercollegiate golf competition next spring, the first in a number of years. Fred Marsh has been appointed head coach of that sport and will also be in charge of the new University golf course, which will be ready for use for the first time. There are no veteran lettermen available but a number of students proved themselves quite capable of playing advanced golf last spring and summer and Coach Marsh believes that a Falcon team should be able to meet competition with fair success next spring. The new Bowling Green golf course is a most interesting one which will require emphasis upon accuracy with the irons. It is a short course and will not place a high premium upon wood shots. Whether home matches will be played there or on Sam Cooper the Bowling Green Country Club course has not yet been decided. No schedule has been arranged as yet but a full Swim Team program is contemplated for the Falcon fairway artists. Swimming returns to the role of a major sport at Bowling Green State University after limited activity in the intercollegiate field during the war and the prospects for a very good team appear to be better than everage according to Coach Sam Tennis Cooper, new mentor on the athletic staff this year.

POWER-BALANCED FOUR TIMES A YEAR
It's not just its high octane rating that makes Marathon Seasonized Gasoline the favorite of Midwest motorists. Of even greater impor- tance (according to automotive engineers) is its power-balance... the seasonally correct combination of STARTING POWER, PICK- UP POWER and RUNNING POWER for each season's driving temperatures. Scientifically adjusted at the refinery four times a year to give you:
• More miles per gallon • Faster starting under all conditions • Swifter pick-up in every speed range • Smoother engine per- formance at all speeds • Rugged, responsive power • Added protection against knocking • Extra protection against wear
