NO REPORT IS MADE
BY TEXAS SYNOD IN
MEETING AT TYLER
Tyler Oct. IB. The commis-
sion of Texas Synod to consoli-
date the Presbyterian colleges
will make no report during this
session other than to say that
progress is being made. This re
port is scheduled for the last
item of business on the final ses-
sion of Synod Thursday evening.
Sentiment In the Synod seems
to be neutral so far as Daniel
Baker and Austin colleges are
concerned the ministers from
over the state feeling that the
whole matter is in the hands of
the commission. The commission
itself will meet within two weeks
probably at Austin at which
time all propositions before it
will be considered and represen
tatives of all interested towns
will be heard.
Austin College apparently has
been spreading nronaganda
where to the effect that the beat
solution of the matter would be
to' drop Daniel Baker entirely
and concentrate upon Austin at
Sherman as the one Presbyterian
school in the state. This how-
ever does not seem to be going
vr with the rank and f Be of
tha Synrt members.' DanlelBa-
kers steady improvement in at-
tendance and in financial affairs
is noted with keen interest here
and makes a favorable impres-
sion upon the Synod. i
Meeting; LasTof Month
Tyler Texas Oct. 15. Loca
tion ox the consolidated Fresby
terian College in Texas will not
be definitely decided upon until
the last of this month in order
to allow two cities thought to
be San Antonio and Houston to
perfect their offers.
The consolidation will bring
together Daniel Baker at Brown-
wood Austin College at Sher
man and the Texas Presbyterian
College at Milford now inopera-
tive. The question of locating
the consolidated- institution was
not placed before the Texas Pres-
byterian Synod in aession here.
but will be decided by a commis
sion appointed to look into the
matter. Big Spring was select-
ed for the next Synod meeting.

Rev. C. A. Johnson pastor of
the First Christian Church here
gave an interesting talk in cha-
pel Wednesday morning of last

of Today" asking four major
questions about college life.
Rev. Johnson began his talk
by stating that contrary to the
general belief of some preach
ers ne am not believe the young
people of today were going to
the doors. He gave several ex.
amples to prove that young peo
ple 01 yesterday were just as bad
as young people of today. He
told of how the vountr neonle of
today are better fitted to meet
their problems and how they
must eventually face the place
they are required to fill.
"What did you bring to col
lege?" the pastor asked the stu
dent body. "Did you bring ideals.
If so what kind?" Also he
brought out Tthe. fact that it is
impossible to' get something
from college if one has brought
nothing to get it in.
Asking the students to con-
sider what they would leave be-
hind when they left college Rev.
Johnson told of how students
cannot attend a college four
years without leaving an influ-
ence behind them for other stu-
dent!. "What will you do when you
leave College?" Rev. Johnson
went on. "What will you do with
your education when you get
it 7" with tnis heavy question
he concluded. his address.

and the really important part of
the program commenced. Cheese
wrapped in bacon was cooked
over the fire and eaten with
pickles and beans. Later marsh-
mellows were roasted.
When everything had been
eaten it waa noticed that Mrs.
McGhee looked rather worried
and wBen asked what was the
matter she finally came out with
the question "Anyone hungry?"
But she seemed convinced with
the unanimous shout of "No."
On the way home Daniel Baker
songs yells and gossip formed

IN 6-2 VICTORY
DANIEL BAKER TEAM

WITH yECH ELEVEN
Coggin Pledges
Are Initiated;
Mystic Meeting
The third floor of the admin-
istration building resounded to
the noise of groans shouts and
screams on the afternoon of Oct.
6th. The Coggin girls were ap-
plying the first installment of
initiation of new members. The
girls swore to abide by the laws
of the ancient order of Coggins
and by the way have you no-
ticed any of the freshmen mak-
ing obeisance to an upper?
Nothing can be said of the things
the pledges underwent but they
lived through it and proved that
they were good sports.
The second installment was
witnessed by the public. On last
Thursday night the Coggin
pledges opened up their penny
banks and produced all their sav-
ings to take their uppers to the
show. It was not certain that
the girls had the proper amount
of money so on reaching the
theater the fssshmen sat down
on the floor and counted their
pennies. When this waa done and
tickets were bought the whole
Coggin bunch went to their re-
served section in the balcony and
every one enjoyed tne show to
tne fullest.
Mystery Meeting Called
Mystery is abroad I A call
meeting of the Coggins took
place Tuesday morning after
chapel. When asked what took
Elace at this meeting the mem-
era refused to divulge the se-
cret. What can it be? Proba-
bly the Coggins have all our in-
terests at heart and are planning
some drastic move to keep Daniel
Baker in Brownwood or maybe
they are wholly self-centered and
are only planning a wild party.
Anyway it seems that the only
logical thing for us to do it to
wait and see. Let's do.

Staff Correspondent
Lubbock Texas Oct. 15. The
Texas Tech Matadors bowed to
the fighting Hill Billies from
Daniel Baker Saturday afternoon
by a score of 6-2. The game was
a strange one from almost every
standpoint. In the first half the
Bullfighters completely outplay-
ed the Billies and in the last half
the tables were just reversed.
The field was water soaked from
a rain which began Friday night
and continued until after game
time. The wet field and slick
ball worked a' hardship on both
elevens but neither was at an
advantage from this standpoint.
The Billies scored their touch-
down early in the second half
when a Tech punt was blocked
and rolled out of bounds on the
Tech 21 yard line. Three line
plays gained about 2 yards and
then on a fake play Harlowjjass-
ed over the goal line to White
for the touchdown. The attempt-
ed goal kick from placement was
low. After this play the Goats
took the defense and held the.
Matadors helpless for the rest
of the game.
Matador Line Weakens
During the first half it looked
as if Tech would win by a good
margin. In the first Quarter the
'Goats 20 yard line was pierced
tnree times. Each time the Mata-
dors attempted a field goal but
failed. In the second quarter the
ball was in Daniel Baker's terri-
tory all the time. Wooldridge
broke through the line on the
Billies 12 yard mark and appear-
ed to be loose but fumbled the
ball. Tech's threat to score end-
ed with the first half. In the sec-
ond period the Matador line went
to pieces and never did they get
any further than the 25 yard
line.
It was in the final quarter that
Tech scored a safety. Green
mnted out of bounds on the Bil-
ie one foot line and on the next
play the Goats gave up 2 points
to get the ball out of the danger
zone.
The game ended with the ball
in Daniel Baker's possession on
her own 20 yard line.
DANIEL BAKER
STUDENTS SEE
THE ELEPHANTS
Circus day was enjoyed im-
mensely by all the small children
of the town and by the Daniel
Baker students. Excitement pre-
vailed throughout the day and
reached its climax Tuesday night
when Daniel Baker students
turned out and arrayed them-
selves comfortably (?) on the
buzzard rooBts. Of course a few
were either high-toned or had
plenty of the common medium
of exchange and. sat in the re-
served seats. But most of us
saw the elephants from the buz-
zard perches and enjoyed it too.
Probably the next thing the
Daniel Baker students will get
excited over will be Hallowe'en.
Maybe these things are childish
but aren't they lots of fun? And
besides we will only be children
once so let's enjoy it while we
can.
