ing New Venture Success. Bring

The picture appearing in the pic
toral section of the Register of last
Sunday, showing Mr.. and Mrs. L.
Dee Mallonee as members of what
was termed the Flying Squadron
OF Simpson College Alumnal Asso-
citation. caused the Republican to in
terview Mr.. Mallonee, in an effort
to ascertain just what was meant by
the caption and what the new
simpson Movement" that has been
so widely advertised during the
summer, has meant.
The college turned over to the
Alumnal Association at the meeting
in the spring, complete charge of
Athletics. In order to make the
thing a success, the alumnal asso-
citation of the college appointed an
executive committee, from the fif-
teen thousand alumni of the school
to direct the athletic program, and
also to mobilize the alumni of the
school behind it in every phase OF
its activity Mr.. Mallonee. was made
chairman on the committee on or
ganization.
In order to get every alumnus of
the school behind 1t, and definitely
lined up with IL in an organized
way, Mr.. Mallonee has undertaken
-the task of organizing local
branches of the Simpson College
AIumnal Association in every coun-
ty in southwestern Iowa, in every
city in the United States with a suf-
flcient following to warrant such an
organization, and in every city in
the state not within the southwest
ern Iowa district, which has a suf-
ficient Simpson alumni to warrant
the same being organized.
In the execution of this work the
mails will have to be relied upon
largely and during the last week in
July Mr.. Mallonee spent several
days in the college office in Indian
ola, debating letters, and laying the
foundation OF this great organiza-
ton The work of organizing south
western Iowa has been we'll under
way throughout the summer, in ac-
cordanee with plans. Prominent
alumni Of the school have toured
lthe southern part of the district,
and have left viril local clubs in
every county visited. 1t was in this
capacity that the picture above re-
ferred to was taken. Clubs. have
been organized in Mills, Montgom-
cry. Adams, Union. Clark, Lucas,
Fremont, Page, Taylor, Decatur,
Wayne, Ringgold and other coun-
ties. In the near future another
Flying Squadron" will organize
the northern part, of the district and
incidentally will visit Audubon
county. Plans are already under
way for a strong organization here
The new movement has already
begun to bear fruit. In the near
future there will be available as the
result of these organization plans,
the sum of thirty thousand dollars
per year, forsthe use thereof. Simp-
son, through her executive commit
tee, has employed Cecil Cushman as
coach, and as result will have one
of the best athletic departments in
the state. Cushman is a protege of
Charles Moran, the maker of the
wonder team" OF Center College of
Kentucky, which caused such a SEN
sation recently by its signal sue
cesses in playing against Harvard,
Yale and Princeton Center College
has an annual enrolment of some
thing like two hundred and fifty
students. Plans are under way to
secure the services of Charles Moran
himself for the football season. of
next year. and with the two men
working together great results are
to be expected.
In addition to the football and
athletic prospects. the new move
ment has already secured more pub
licity for Simpson than any other
school in Iowa has enjoyed. 1t is
today the most wrftten-of school in
the state, and newspapers every
where have been enthusiastic In the
reception OF the news of this great
movement.
