HILL BILLIES IN SHERMAN FOR GAME
M Be M
By Travis Fetter
assaeaaaeeeeaaeaeeaeeeqBfyt
It might be interesting to conduct
some sort of questlonalre among the
members of the Daniel Baker faculty
to determine how many of them feel
as the Tale professor who completed
twenty years of work on the faculty
of that leading New England school.
On being questioned by bis friend
Woodrow Wilson then teacher at
Princeton the professor replied that
after twenty years of teaching he had
come to the conclusion that the hu-
man mind had infinite resources for
resisting the introduction of knowl-
edge. (This is written apropos of
nothing but merely in interest and
through sympathy for the faculty at
least those of them who might per-
chance read this.)
Aa long as this subject has been
brought forward (far too many things
are brought forward other than last
month's account with the tailor. Wit-
ness the weekly appearance of this) I
might quote here a bit of a thing from
Stephen Leacock former editor of the
Harvard Lampoon and now an essay
ist of one form of humor and anoth-
er. He laments his days at college
spent in the study of classics believ-
ing them useless and outworn as
forms of literature as well as been
not half as attractive in style and con-
tent as more modern writing. Pro-
poses he:
"This is what I should like to do.
I'd like to take a large stone and write
on it in very plain writing
"'The classics are only primitive
literature. They belong in the same
class as primitive machinery and
primitive music and primitive medi-
cine' and then throw it through the
windows of a University and hide be-
hind a fence to see the professors
busx!"
A group of our serious art students
were discussing (he's off again on
one of those vile blobs of writing he
thinks are funny) the relative merit
of the sculpture work of Michael An-
gelo and others of the post and pre-
Renlassiance period when the subject
of that famous bit of chiseling known
to us as The Thinker arose as a topic
in the conversation. One of the group
quite trivially asked "What do you
suppose the thinker was thinking
about?" And another replied "Maybe
he was trying to remember where he
left his clothes."
Additions to the vocabulary:
Lout a permit as "Smoking Not
A Lout."
Awning having possession of.
Veal future tense form of You and
X.
Briar one who purchases.
Canine strong medicine often used
by suicides.
Smirch figure of speech as in
"Well that's smirch for that."
Somber one of the seasons of the
year.
Void smallest unit of the language
as "A void to the wise is sufficient."
Syntax cover charge. (Sorry.)
Dorothy Parker (It's becoming an
obsession I think) was the first or at
least almost the first writer to publish
a book of verse which became a lead-
ing beat seller overnight. It was call-
ed "Enough Rope" and was published
in 1927. She is 42 years old and be-
gan her literary career writing dra-
matic criticism for Vogue back in
1916 which was also a very import-
ant year in my life being the first.
"The only thing X learned at school"
she says "was that if you spit on a
pencil eraser it will erase ink."
After conducting a nice quiet little
Investigation during the past two
weeks I have discovered that some
of my readers "my" is used here in
the abstracteat of abstract sense do
not read the name of this column cor-
rectly instead of being "Begin HERB
Today" It should be "Begin Hera TO-
DAY as in reading your favorite
rial. But don't let me disrupt your
mental processes by insisting that you

Ex-Students Name
Nov. 1 As Date Of
1935 Home-Coming
November 2 has been tentatively
announced as the date for the annual
Daniel Baker Homecoming ceremo-
nies it was announced on the campus
Tuesday following the first meeting
of the Daniel Baker Ex-Students' As-
sociation held in the administration
building Monday night. The meeting
was attended by last year's members
and Rev. Ben H. Moore pastor of the
Austin Avenue Presbyterian Church.
was elected president of tho Ex-Students
for the coming year. Jack Broad
Is retiring president.
A possibility that the Daniel Baker-
Trinity football game cannot be
changed from Friday November 1 to
the following day may necessitate
the fixing of another date for the
Homecoming day the Association an-
nounced after the meeting.
New Organization
Brooks Dozler was elected first vice
president of the 1035-38 organization.
J. Claude Smith was chosen secretary-
treasurer and Edward Thompson was
elected head of publicity department
and will conduct all the news of the
organization which will appear in The
Collegian.
Frances Hise was elected student
secretary and will immediately begin
work of compiling a list of names of
all the people who have ever attended
Daniel Baker. As far as possible
each ex-student will be notified of the
date and particulars concerning the
1335 Homecoming date and there will
be elaborate plans made by the ex-
students to entertain the largest home
coming crowd ever had on the Daniel
Baker campus.
The 1934 Homecoming was recog-
nized as being the largest and most
successful in the history of the school
but the Ex-Students and the faculty
and student body confidently expect
the event this fall to be even bigger
and more a success than that of a
year ago.
Members of the Homecoming com-
mittee which was named at the
meeting Monday night are Biooks
Dozler chairman; Jack Broad Nat
Low Charles King Allen Davis and
Edward Thompson. Ruth Gehrke wdB
named third vice president of the or-
ganization and will head the commit-
tee for new students.
These committeemen will immedi-
ately commence work on the plans
for entertainments and other details
of the program for Homecoming
which will probably be held on the
campus as last year with the major
part of the program being held In the
Coggln Memorial auditorium.

BROWNWOOD TBXAS FRIDAY OCTOBER 11 1935
COMING BEING PLANNED
Only Sixty-Five
Dollars Lacking
For Soph's Party
After five days of intensive cam-
paigning for funds for buying punch
and one thing and another for the
sophomore class party which was
scheduled to be held Tuesday night
at' the home of Roberta Moore the
plans fell through due to lack of suf-
ficient funds and was postponed un-
til a remote date in the immediate
future or at least until the remaining
three dollars and thirty-eight cents
can be secured from source other than
the boys in the class who it appears
completely exhausted their resources
in donating the two dollars and sixty-
two cents last week which amount
proved inadequate.
It is hoped that the girls in the class
who are railroading the plans for the
party and no one knows what kind of
rake-off they get from handling the
finance alone will be able to success
fully promote the party sometime be
tween tonight and next May 17.
m
Band Uniforms Are
Ordered This Week
An order for twenty-five uniforms
was placed Tuesday by the band and
they will probably arrive in time for
the next public appearance of the mu-
sical organization. It has been sev-
eral years since the Daniel Baker
band has been decked out in attrac-
tive blue and white as these are to be.
Leader Burl Williams is to be com-
plimented for promoting the purchase
of uniforms this year and when they
arrive the band should become one
of the most attractive outfits on the
hlU.
The suits will be composed of blue
jackets with DBC and a goat sewed
on the backs with white trousers.
The material is gabardine for both
jackets and trousers. Charles Hemp-
hill plays first alto.

week observed
OCTOBER 7 TO 14th
Students and faculty members In
Daniel Baker and all the other schools
In Brownwood are this week being
reminded that this is annual Fire Pre-
vention Week in the United States
and that special radio programs and
special public demonstrations and oth-
er events are being planned.
The purpose of Fire Prevention
Week is not as 1b sometimes believ-
ed to prevent or to diminish property
loss through fire for this particular
week during the year but to bring to
the minds of citizens all over the na-
tion that much damage which is
brought about in this country and all
others all through the year can be
prevented through the knowledge and
practice of practical measures of safe-
ty. Prevention of fire is a simple
problem when approached from the
right angle and municipal fire de-
partments and Insurance companies
In Brownwood and other cities and
towns are each year disseminating
valuable information and directions
on how each citizen can and should
I co-operate In cutting fire loss to a
minimum.
Daniel Baker has In the past feat-
ured Fire Prevention week in chapel
programs and it la hoped that the
students and faculty will not fall to
recognise the value of stressing the
Importance of doing so again this
year.

stances circumstances are the crea
tures of men. We art free agents

Stunt Night Here
Tuesday Night Is
Successful Event
Miss Mac Branom and Mrs. T. E.
Ward are this week receiving con
gratulations for the huge success
scored Tuesday night with the pre-
sentation of their Stunt Night pro-
gram which was presented for the
financial benefit of the Daniel Baker
orchestra and the science department
and for the general benefit of all who
attended. It was a successful venture
from the first curtain to the last get-
ting a great many more laughs than
any previous stunt night presented in
Coggln Memorial Hall.
All the campus organizations took
an enthusiastic interest in the pro-
gram and prepared a group of excel-
lent stunts and acts. The costumes
for the events were indeed superior to
those in the past and the presenta-
tions themselves were afar above
standard in humor and adaptation.
Among the organizations who either
had a stunt or had a hand in the pre-
sentation of the program are the boys'
glee club the girls' ditto the orches
tra science department band pep
squaa rorensic ciuo coggln society
library organization and others.
This affair has become annual in
its presentation and It Is an ever wel
come entertainment which the stu
dents and interested patrons of Dan-
iel Baker are always willing to sup
port in the interest of having an en-
joyable evening while at the same
time advancing the cause of some
worthy Daniel Baker organization or
group activity.
New DBC Director
Of Art Elected
Miss Alberta Skiles of Denton has
been elected to the position of art di-
rector &C Daniel Baker and assumed
her duties last Wednesday. She had
previously discussed possibilities with
officials of the college.
A graduate of the Texas State Col-
lege for Women at Denton Texas
Miss Skiles has been teaching for the
past six years. She is a former in-
structor in Sugarland and also In De-
catur. She holds a bachelor of sci-
ence degree majoring In Interior dec-
oration. Miss 8kiles will reside In the girls'
dormitory and will be matron on one
of the floors. In discussing her work
she announced as a primary project
for the year the organization of a
creative arts club which will hold
monthly exhibits to display handwork
of the past month. This will includo
not only painting but also metal
work block printing wood carving
and other similar crafts.
She succeeds Miss Vlrgie Maude
Walker who resigned last year from
this position but who returned this
fall until her successor could be se-
cured. You Pay Ut and We
Might Pledge You
To Our Fraternity
State College Pa. (ACP) Penn
State frosh are paying for the priv-
ilege of being rushed by fraternities
this year!
Contrary to the time-worn tradition
the freshmen are being assessed a fee
of fifty cents when they apply for
date cards prior to the opening of
the rushing season. Non-payment of
the fee results in deferment of pledg-
ing for thirty days should the yearl-
ing be asked to pledge.
The fraternity coffers will profit to
the extent of about 9880 as a result
of the new method which has been
successfully used at the University of
Michigan and the University of Wis-consin.
WITH KANGAROOS
ATTENTION JUNIORS!
Announcement has been made
by the Trail editor Harvey Hick-
man to the effect that tomorrow
(Saturday) has been set aside for
the Juniors to go to McLeans
studio on Center Avenue and have
their pictures made for the' an-
nual. Harvey has a large enough
burden to carry without any de-
lays. So! He asks for you to
please get your pictures made on
time and Saturday doesn't mean
next Monday. All students me
urged to co-operate with the Trail
officers 100 percent In that they
may not hold up construction of
the annual on account of any un-
necessary delays.
John Tarleton In
Win Over Bles
Here Friday Nite
The Daniel Baker Hill Billies ran
against unexpected power last week
in tneir game with the Plowboya from
Taneton. The Tarleton bovs out
weighed them about 21 pounds to the
man and that extra weight certainly
told on the boys from the hill before
the night was over. The Billies who
before game time were expected to
down the Plowboys went down to the
tune of 3-0. This is a very small
score but considering pre-game dope
is quite an upset.
Billies Open Strong
The Billies took the opening kick-
off and promptly went to work. They
clipped off several yards in a very
few tries but this early threat was
stopped when one of the Blllle backs
fumbled. After that the two clubs
played on very even terms and it was
not until the last quarter that the tide
of battle definitely turned in the Plow-
boy's favor.
Billies Miss Good Chance
Late In the fourth quarter the
Plowboys made a long drive and being
held on the Billies' SB yard line one
of the visitors dropped back and kick-
ed a perfect field goal for the only
points scored during the game. The
Billies had previously missed a field
goal in approximately the same posi-
tion. The kick was plenty high but a
little wide. The Billies took the next
klckoff and almost got away for a
touchdown. Skipper Howard took the
klckoff and running down the right
side of the field turned and tossed a
lateral to Payne who almost got by
the whole field but didn't. After
that the Billies scoring threat was
suddenly stopped by an Intercepted
pass. The Billies regained the ball
and the game ended with an Incom-
plete pass.
Starting Lineups
Howard and Roach played the best
ball for the Billies while Atkins and
Funderburk were outstanding for the
Plowboys. The Billies starting lineup
was: Coker and Morris at ends Webb
and Trammell at guards Adams and
Whltaker at tackles Roach at center
Conger at quarter Little at full How-
ard and Payne at halves. For the
Plowboys: Ford and Collins ends; Jen-
kins and Rhoads tackles; Hart and
Craves guards; Rushing center; At-
kins quarter; Kennedy full; Cray
and Funderburk halves.

Kangaroos Rated
Favorites To Be
Winners Tonight
The Billies left early Thursday
morning 25 strong for Sherman Tex-
as where tonight they will be pitted
against the powerful Austin College
Kangaroos. The Kangaroos got off to
a couple of bad starts In the two
opening games of the season but last
week they came back strong and de-
feated the McMurry Indians who are
rated one of the best teams in the'
Texas Conference 20-14. That defi-
nitely places the Kangaroos at the
top of the present standing of the
Conference and on paper it makes
them a great menace to all clubs
aspiring to down them.
Billies Won Last
Last year the Kangaroos Invaded
the Billies on home soil and went
home nursing a 10-0 defeat but there
is no indication of them doing the
same this year. In fact the Kanga-
roos are given a good chance of turn-
ing that score around which makes
it all the more unlikely that the Billies
will beat them at all. Last year how-
ever the Kangaroos were rated high-
er than the Billies at game time and
the so-called inspired Hill Billies kept
the upper hand all the way. After
their setback last week against the
John Tarleton Plowboys the Billies
are due to be plenty mad and will
more than likely play that same brand
of inspired football that beat the Kan-
garoos last year. That remains to be
seen of course. Close followers of the
Billies though disappointed in them a
little seem to believe in them and are
betting that they will take the Kanga-
roos as they did last season.
Workouts Stilt This Week
Coaches Taylor and Meyers this
week sent their charges through a
set of the stif fest workouts of the sea-
son in an attempt to prepare them for
the impending fray in Sherman. The
boys have responded wonderfully and
they seem to have the necessary confi-
dence and spirit to win a game. Tay-
lor and Meyers sent the Billies
through several hard charging block-
ing and tackling exercises Monday
Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons
for polishing up purposes. They might
not nave gotten the hoped for results
but they did succeed in putting a lit-
tle shine on them.
All In Good Shape
The boys making the trip to Sher
man are all in good shape and Thurs-
day afternoon they took a light work-
out on the Kangaroos gridiron in or-
der to limber up any muscles that
might have tightened up on the trip.
It is a long old trip to Sherman and
quite a few muscles were no doubt
cramped considerably. That gives the
Billies quite a handicap but in spite
of all the odds that can be piled up

Baptist Church Is
Host To Students
Wednesday Night
Students and faculty members of
Daniel Baker were entertained Wed-
nesday evening by a reception given
in their honor by the Coggln Avenue
Baptist Church. The program was
unique in arrangement and presenta-
tion and was thoroughly enjoyed by
all who attended. The attendance was
somewhat limited due to rain which
fell immediately before the time an
nounced for the program.
A general radio program motif was
carried out in the arrangement of the
entertainment which added graatly to
the attraction and pleasure of the
evening. At the conclusion of the
program a short pep rally was held.
This was the only time during the
week that the student body assembled
for a pep meeting before the Austin
College gam in Sherman tonight.
