The local Central cagers host Wartburg College for the opening Iowa Conference game. Central comes off losses to Coe and Iowa State and a win against Grandview College before Wartburg begins its first season in the conference.
Coe College built a 22 9 first half lead and coasted to a 32 26 win over Central College Friday. McKinley led Coe with nine points while Van Arkel added eight for Central as the Kohawks stretched the margin to 26 9 before Central rallied to 11 points in the second half.
A WPA sponsored analysis of 6,510 relief families across 13 counties shows that old age disability and low mood drive dependence more than lack of education. About two thirds of relief heads had at least eighth grade education, yet college graduates in relief were under one percent, suggesting limited protection from dependence.
Iowa sociologists analyze relief heads of families to gauge how lacking education affects economic independence. The study forms part of a larger analysis of Iowa's relief population for the Iowa State Plan. Findings suggest education gaps among relief heads influence independence levels.
Central opened the basketball season by losing to the Iowa State Cyclones 30 to 37 at Ames. The next night the Kohawks defeated the Dutchmen on the Coe floor 23 to an unspecified score. Central used a zone defense as Iowa State rallied from a 14 11 halftime deficit to take a 24 13 lead.
Iowa State pulled away from Central after a late first quarter start, with Flemming and Thomson leading the Cyclones' offense while G Van Arkel Ford and Hoekstra kept Central competitive. Box scores show scattered scoring across both teams in a rough, midwestern college game with Coe later defeating Central at Cedar Rapids.
Jackson County missionaries from the Highlands of Kentucky visited the Y W C A to aid girls with education and moral instruction. They described poverty ignorance and feuds facing the region and noted the continued use of a historical language among the people.
A fragmented piece discusses Missonaries and Peculiar Peephe ideas, then shifts to Blanche Barrow, widow of Marvin Barrow, describing the Barrow gang’s violent trail across Texas, Oklahoma, and Missouri and noting their downfall after years behind bars. It mentions Missouri and Kentucky contexts and a Jackson County visitation program for study.
