Northwestern sits atop the Big Ten with three wins and one loss as the spread of results shows Wabash defeating DePauw 19-16 and Indiana beating Wabash 25-18 while Iowa tops Purdue 29-25 and Wisconsin wins 26-23 over Illinois with Purdue following 22-18. Franklin’s status seems doubtful in this context.

Earlham and Franklin shared first place after a tight game described by The Press as the Quakers dominating passing but failing to convert scoring chances.

The faculty chose to shorten the spring term rather than extend it or cut spring vacation. The first semester ended on schedule despite a shortened term.

The Men’s Girt Club plans a six day spring vacation tour with twenty two members traveling. A two day concert run is eyed for mid spring across Linton Spencer Worthington Mitchell and possibly Bedford Lyons Sullivan or Seymour. A feature will be a review of past members now in active army service as half of the former members have joined national service.
The second semester closes June 12 as faculty decide. Spring vacation remains as catalogued and the coal shortage will not reduce breaks. Classes will cover lost week in regular sessions and students will stay in school to make up the work.
A Franklin College student notes campaign zeal spreading beyond the basketball court to knitting Y M C A meetings and war talk while plans arise to add a social touch to the effort. The piece regards thrift stamps and hunger debates as part of wartime sacrifice and school work.
