JUANITA
YE OPINATOR
RODQERS
After reading all of the comments
that reach the hands of the writer of
It Takes All Klnda" Ye Oplnator
wonders if anyone ever finds some-
thing In favor of the publication. If
you do now is the time to come to
the aid of the staff. I believe that a
few flowers would be appreciated by
all. Of course no reflections are cast
upon the author of said column. The
various opinions are enjoyed but why
not have all kinds.
Ye Oplnator with quite a few other
students and supporters of Daniel Ba-
ker traveled to Abilene last Friday to
back the Billies In their encounter
with the Hardin-Slmmons Cowboys.
Just as every one else Ye Oplnator
was greatly disappointed over the out-
come of that affray. Yes It was a
good game but the thing that hurt
the students the faculty the friends
etc. was the fact that the Goats came
out on the little end of a 6-0 score.
One surprising thing noticed was the
large number of backers from Brown-
wood. When the Billies rooting sec-
tion broke loose the Cowgirls silenc
ed themselves. Ye Oplnator believes
that the students of D. B. C. nave
that' old spirit now. Every student
there went away either with tears in
his eyes or the desire to cry written
u!l over his face.
Ye Oplnator wishes to take this op
portunity to join the others In wel-
coming Mrs. Wright to the staff.
Having worked for about four years
with Mrs. Wright Ye Oplnator knows
that she will certainly be a beneficial
addition.
Why do people so often lose their
ambitions? That thought came to
the writer not so very long ago and
incidentally Is still In his mind. Is
It just a natural human characteris-
tic or is it an individual deficiency?
It seem that life without ambition is
empty void of ttoe worthwhile en-
tirely u detriment to society.
A tecent report shows that the mo-
tion pictures have greatly improved
in the lust few months. Extensive
campaigns have been carried on for
the improvement of the products of
Hollywood and seemingly the results
have been more than gratifying. The
chief advocates of the move assert
that they have brought about an Im-
provement of at least ninety per cent.
It is the opinion of Ye Oplnator
that the movies are showing a decided
increase in educational values. The
present trend In California is toward
the release of nlcturea with histori
cal themes: "Cleopatra" "The Scarlet
Empress" "The House of Rothschild"
and others too numerous to name. In
addition to this several war pictures
have been shown to promote peace
one of the most notable undertakings
that can be attempted.
Theodore Dreiser In a recent arti-
cle In "Esquire" sends forth the fol-
lowing: "At least for myself finding
myself an extension of these same
'mechanical' mystehiea which the
great mind of man has for so long
tared at and pondered over and spied
upon as might any cat at a mouse
hole or any rat peering out upon in-
finite mystery from the entance to Its
Petty shelter I can find nothing that
not mind neither myself nor any
lessor or greater thing. But some is
'fee moving mental energy or im-
Pulse or both and some as in the
case of men animals trees etc. is
out the implementation of tbe same.
But with enersrv connacttvM with the
whole which permit of partial move-

THOMASON IS ELECTED CAMPUS SWEETHEART
INDIANS' TEPEES PITCHED HERE
Bles Slated To
Lose to the Indians
By Settle Pearce
All pre-game predictions seem to
point to a victory for the Indians over
the Billies and unless this writer is
sadly mistaken all pre-game predic-
tions will be blasted from here to Jer-
ice for the Billies are going to take
the Indians into their pen tonight.
Ever since the Billies annexed the
T. I. A. A. championship back In 1D27
the Indians have come off the grid-
Iron undisputed victors. McMurry has
a much better club this year than last
and are going to show our proteges
some real football but as the old
saying goes it takes two to play an
interesting game the Billies are
primed and woe to the fellow that
dares to set off that primer even
though he be Injun.
Skipper Howard to Perform
Tonight we will And Skipper How-
ard In the starting line-up for the first
time. Against Simmons he looked
like a million dollar find in a five and
ten cent store. He can pass the apple
through a key hole In the dormitory
at one hundred paces and never ruffle
his hair; his punts are long and lofty
like the giant redwood trees and he
runs like a scared jack rabbit once his
locomotion organs get in action. Skip
per give us some action tonight.
8nodaratt Will Be There
"Snltty" Snodgrass Is greased for
action and due to show his heels to
all papooses that might threaten his
pathway to the touchdown goal hnou
grass the answer to ninny a maiden's
prayer says that he is going to give
cm all he has he threw in a little
hint that a certnln little freshman
might have the eagle eye on him and
only being to tlrst base with her he
intends to circle the bases tonight.
"Snltty" let us see you come home to
Satterwhlte; she'll be awaiting at the
club house door.
"Country" Coker Makes Good
The sponsor of the "Dorm Rats"
"Country" Coker has of late been dis-
playing a very neat brand of football
at least for a sponsor of "ferns."
Cortex has been snatching passing
ball-toters by the locks of their
streaming tresses and throwing them
for aeons of losses all season. Yup-
If Coker can get his "athletically" in-
clined feet tvi manipulating he Is sure
to throw a few tommy hawks Into the
midriffs of the braves.

Science Department
Under New
Teacher
Upon the resignation of Sara R.
Mclnnls Daniel Baker College last
week acquired a new professor of
science Mrs. T. E. Ward. Mrs. Ward
comes to Daniel Baker from Ranger
where she was formerly a teacher in
Ranger Junior College. Mr. Ward is
the coach and science teacher there
now. Mrs. Ward has done extensive
graduate study In the realms of scl-
ence.
from
Columbia University; she has
Dha nan nor uiaawm -
also done quite
bit worn on nor
Doctorate.
m.. nttiiiaiuiim and
seal with
which she has begun her work In the
oi. u.u indicates that she Is go
ing to make several drastic changes
in the department. She is
log the supplies and Wmmy "JJ
tertals. and hopes to become fuiiy
2SSnt"wlth Si the division .and
students soon. Mrs. Ward comes to
Daniel Baker with very good recom-
mendation and all tUlpate gre.
things for the department in the near
future.
To Campus Viiitort
It is with sincere feeling of appreciation thatsjhe Col-
legian this week extends a hearty welcome to former stu-
dents of Daniel Baker who have returned to the campus
for the Home-Coming Day program and take this oppor-
tunity to wish them a most pleasant visit.
The students have gone to great length working with
the Ex-Students' Association and members of the faculty
toward making the program one of interest throughout the
day. Every former student here today is to be mode to
feel "at home" and to remember the experience and thrills
he had while in Daniel Baker. The students themselves
recognize the fact that a great part of the pleasures of at-
tending school is the memory of it after graduation and can
in this way partly appreciate the purpose behind a Home-
coming Day.
All visitors are encouraged to be on the campus for the
barbecue at noon. There will be a generous amount of food
for everybody. The game between Daniel Baker and Mc-
Murry tonight is to be the highlight of the day's program
and everyone is specially encouraged to remain in town
for it.
No classes are being held today and students are devot-
ing a great part of their time in entertaining the former
students. The faculty is dedicating their energy and time
toward making it a great program. It all means
WELCOME TO FORMER STUDENTS AND VISITORS.
Glee Club to
Appear Today
The Daniel Baker Glee Club ably
directed by Mrs. Hall will present a
group of numbers during the Home-
coming program Saturday morning.
The group will Include the following
selections "My Little Banjo" "The
Old Covered Bridge" and "I'll String
Along With You."
The regular attendance of members
uf the club ut rehearsals has had a
large part in making the club a suc-
cess this year. Several new numbers
and arrangements have arrived in the
past few days and the club will start
iehuaraing these for presentation in
the near future.
The girls have chosen the Daniel
Baker colors for their uniforms. The
bkirls are white and the sweaters are
sky blue. This is the first year that
the Daniel Baker Glee Club has had
uniforms having formerly appeared
in evening dresses. The new uniforms
will make the public appearances of
the club more attractive awl appro
in lute for any occasion.
Mrs. Hall is now recovering from a
tbieatened attack of laryngitis and It
Is hoped that she will be sufficiently
recovered to appear on the program
Huiurdav. Her charmlne voice has
thrilled music lovers in Brownwood
in past recitals.
AmoB Caldwell will accompany
Mrs. Hall and the Glee Club.
Frosh Eat Drink
and Are Merry
The freshman class entertained for
the first time this year with a party
given at the home of Roberta Moore
nn the nla-ht of November 6th. A large
number of the class attended and
from their animated account those
who did not missed a wonderful good
timn. There were table and floor
irnmea in nroirresa all the time Inter
rupted only by frequent trips to the
punch bowl cake plate and candy
jar. Games waxed loud and long
punch nowea rreeiy anu uw u
saying "A good time was had by all
was quite trite.
w now know that there Is a very
congenial bunch of fish In school this
year and we plan many good times In
the future. To all freshman who were
not present you missed a good time.
Come to the next
Be he went;
Or am be gone;
Have he left I all alone
Will he ne'er return to I
Nor I e'er go back to be?
Oh I It cannot was.
Maurine's Proteges
WiflPerformTonite
Elaborate plans for their final local
appearance of the 1934 football sea
on have occupied the time -of the
Daniel Baker pep squad all this week.
Before a frenzied crowd of rabid foot-
ball fans packed in Howard Payne
stadium for the Daniel Baker McMur-
ry game tonight the co-eds decked in
blue and white will reflect the spirit
of Hill Billy teams for many grid sea-
sons past. Of special Interest tonight
will be the presentation of the Cam-
pus Sweetheart Juanlta Thcmason
sophomore who was chosen by a vote
of the students this week to receive
this honor.
However this will not be the end ot
their activities of the year as it is
hoped that the entire squad will go to
AUlene for the A. C. C. game No-
vember 17. Maurlne Charnqulst at-
tractive and efficient leader of the
pep squad has planned several other
events for this organization. It would
not be amiss to say here that she has
been one of the most capable pep
squad leaders in the history of the
Blue and White.
The pep squad has had an import-
ant part In preparing for the enter
tainment of former students of Daniel
Baker at the Homecoming today and
they have had an active part in nil
other campus activities of the year.
Staff Appoints
New Advisor
The latest addition to The Collegian
staff was made the first of the week
when Mrs. Wright accepted the posi-
tion of faculty sponsor. Mrs. Wright
fills the place made vacant upon the
resignation of Mr. Mclnnls.
Mrs. Wright Is by no means new to
the publication game since she has
formerly occupied the same position.
8bo was sponsor In 1932-33 and quite
capably guided the staffs for several
years before that time. The present
staff is anticipating a great year with
tho services of the head of the Eng-
lish department; at least there should
not be quite so many grammatical
errors If she can find time to read
all the copy.

Be glad of life because it gives you
the chance to love and to work and to
play and to look up at the stars.

BILLIE BAKER WON'T BEHAVE
Hardin-Slmmons University defeat
ed the Duniel Baker Hill Billies be-
cause Billy Baker refused to submit
in a gentlemanly manner to the scrub-
bing pioposed by his keepers. He was
very much In need of u bath and could
not make the trip without one. He
would not have made a good showing
with his wool a dingy yellow instead
of the beautiful white that is obtain-
ed by adding just a drop of blueing
to the ilnsc water.
The uncontrollable goat was left at
home with tears In his eyes and re-
bellion In his heart when the loyal
Daniel Baker supporters left for Abi-
lene. May we suggest after seeing
the bad luck that Billy's absence from
the game brings that his nurses use
rnah mnthnris if npnpHHnrv tn (liRf'l
pita the naughty goat so that he may
attend all of our coming games
Shame on you Billy Baker!

6-OTOmWBOYS
Playing the second conference game
of the season on Paramore field in
Abilene Inst Friday night the Daniel
Baker Hill Billies lost a hard fought
game to the Simmons Cowboys by a
count of C-0.
The Cowboys took the ball early In
the first quarter and on a series of
wide running plays mixed with Warner-system
deception plays carried it
over the Blllie goal line for the first
und only touchdown of the game. Af-
ter th? try for extra point had failed
the Billies began a series of punts in
which both teams appeared about
equal to the other in distance and re-
turning ability. The Billies line snap-
ped out of their semi-coma and
from that time on to the end of the
game held other Simmons scoring
threats at bay. On the other hand
the Billies unleashed a spectacular
passing nttack in tho third quarter
which saw them take the ball within
the ten-yard line on several occasions
but they were never able to put it
over for the tying marker. Skipper
Howard slashed off tackle on several
plays in the last half for gains of
eight and ten yards only to have the
gains brought to naught by a stub-
bom Simmons line Howard showed
remarkable accuracy In passing and
punting duilng the last half also.
These honors were shared with Reaves
Hickman who turned In a nice game.
Co-Captain White was largely respon-
Wo for opratag ujf M-m-
In the line for many of the plays that
saw the ball carried deep into Sim-
mons territory. Red Conger the
sophomore quarterback who must
have ben born under an unlucky star
again suffered nn arm Injury and had
to be taken from the field after turn
ing in stellar play for nearly half the
game.
The return of Galloping Jack Snod-
grass to the Blllie line-up was a wel-
come sight to the great crowd of
Daniel Baker supporters who follow
ed the team to Abilene for the fracas.
He played under the handicap of a
heavy shoulder pad but In doing so
showed promise that he Is back In the
line-up to stay for the rest of the
season.
