By Clarence Heft
On Monday evening, November 30,
the college was privileged to hear a
lecture delivered by one of the most
outstanding medical men of the pres
ent day. Doctor Victor G. Heiser, a
man who has contributed much to the
welfare of the world, was the speak
er.
With a career of more than 37
years spent in some of the most re
mote and dangerous places of the
world, Docctor Heiser had a wide
background of experience from which
to draw his speech and the response
of the audience proved the value
of it.
Taking his recent book, “The Am
erican Doctors Odyssey” as a theme,
the . speaker entitled his address,
“More of an American Doctors Odys
sey”. He told of the suffering in
strange lands due to ignorance and
superstition and, of his attempt and
success in treating such terrible dis
eases as beri-beri, leprosy, tubercu
losis, cholera and smallpox.
But not all of the address was in
the serious vein.
Occasionally he
would relate some odd or amusing
incident, and so pleased the listeners
highly. His talk was interesting as
well as highly educational.

I
Inspired by the visit of Mr. Claire
Penio of the Emergency Peace Cam
paign, the members of the Y. W. C.
A. and the Y. M. C. A. signified their
intention of helping this movement
by appointing Clarence Heft as chair
man of a joint committee to proceed
with the plans.
Although at present the committee
is limiting its activities to posting
anti-war bulletins, arrangements are I
being made to bring some noted !
speaker to the college some time in
January, to stage an assembly pro
gram and to have the students them
selves take active parts in this work.
Mr. Heft wishes to make clear that
there is to be no “Red” or Commun

EDINBORO GRIDDER HONORED
Alex Crevar, junior from Aliquip
pa who played at the regular full
back position on the Red Raiders this
fall, was recently honored by the
position of full-back on the first team
of California’s all-opponent squad.
(Continued on Page Four)
Outscoring the Cleveland Chiropo
dists by a margin of twelve points in
the third period, the Red Raiders,
after faltering through a slow first
half, started a determined* last half,
scoring drive which buried their op
ponents under an avalanche of field
goals and, when continued into the
last quarter, marked up a final score
of 49-18 in the opening game of the
season.
Reichel, Raider forward, sank a
pair of field goals as the third quarter
opened to pull the Crimson and White
away from a 15-13 half time score
and command a lead which was never
again threatened. From this point
on the Raiders began clicking, and
with Wolfe and Simon adding scores,
they stretched the Edinboro lead to
24-14 as the Ohio College called time
out mid-way in the period. At the
end of the quarter Edinboro was
ahead 28-14.
The final period saw the Raiders
run wild, sinking field goals from any
place on the floor. The final score
was 49-18.
The game opened slowly and, with
neither team gaining the advantage
Of the other for long, the first quart
er ended with the teams tied at 9 all.
The second period was a nip and tuck
battle with the Raiders possessing a
scant two-point margin at half-time.
Wolfe led the scorers with eight
een points, Reichel being next .with
eight. Miller, captain, of the visiting
forces, paced the Ohians with a pair
of goals and fouls for a total of six
counters.
LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS
GOSS LONDON SINGERS
A large audience gathered in the
college auditorium Friday evening,
December 11th, to hear John Goss
and his London Singers.
It was jolly entertainment that Mr.
Goss and his troupe offered. Such
delicate and sly humor—such a
sparkling presentation in an amusing
and original manner.
The evening’s program consisted
of six groups of songs. In the first
group of Old English Songs was an
amusing old street cry, ’’New
Oysters”.
Mr. John Goss, as soloist, presented
a delightful group of anonymous
songs of the 17th century.
The pianist, Mr. McCormick, offer

By Clarence Heft
On Monday evening, November 30,
the college was privileged to hear a
lecture delivered by one of the most
outstanding medical men of the pres
ent day. Doctor Victor G. Heiser, a
man who has contributed much to the
welfare of the world, was the speak
er.
With a career of more than 37
years spent in some of the most re
mote and dangerous places of the
world, Docctor Heiser had a wide
background of experience from which
to draw his speech and the response
of the audience proved the value
of it.
Taking his recent book, “The Am
erican Doctors Odyssey” as a theme,
the . speaker entitled his address,
“More of an American Doctors Odys
sey”. He told of the suffering in
strange lands due to ignorance and
superstition and, of his attempt and
success in treating such terrible dis
eases as beri-beri, leprosy, tubercu
losis, cholera and smallpox.
But not all of the address was in
the serious vein.
Occasionally he
would relate some odd or amusing
incident, and so pleased the listeners
highly. His talk was interesting as
well as highly educational.

EDINBORO GRIDDER HONORED
Alex Crevar, junior from Aliquip

fall, was recently honored by the
position of full-back on the first team
of California’s all-opponent squad.

Outscoring the Cleveland Chiropo
dists by a margin of twelve points in
the third period, the Red Raiders,
after faltering through a slow first
half, started a determined* last half,
scoring drive which buried their op
ponents under an avalanche of field
goals and, when continued into the
last quarter, marked up a final score
of 49-18 in the opening game of the
season.
Reichel, Raider forward, sank a
pair of field goals as the third quarter
opened to pull the Crimson and White
away from a 15-13 half time score
and command a lead which was never

The final period saw the Raiders
run wild, sinking field goals from any
place on the floor. The final score
was 49-18.
The game opened slowly and, with
neither team gaining the advantage

LARGE AUDIENCE ENJOYS
GOSS LONDON SINGERS
A large audience gathered in the

December 11th, to hear John Goss
and his London Singers.
It was jolly entertainment that Mr.
Goss and his troupe offered. Such
delicate and sly humor—such a
sparkling presentation in an amusing
and original manner.
The evening’s program consisted
of six groups of songs. In the first
group of Old English Songs was an
amusing old street cry, ’’New

Mr. John Goss, as soloist, presented
a delightful group of anonymous
songs of the 17th century.

The Chi Delta Sigma dance, which
will be held January 9, promises to
be one of the best social functions
of the year. Plans are practically
completed and committees are func

chairmanship of George Hetra. Tick
ets will soon be placed on sale; ad
vance sale of tickets will be $.50 per
couple, and $.75 the night of the
dance. Three orchestras are being
considered, and whichever one is
chosen will be in accordance with the
best traditions of school dances.
While the intra-mural league is not
organized as yet, the fraternity has
already scheduled sc viral games with
