How many times have you seen the
word opposite In meaning to "un-
couth?" Chaucer was found in the
very act of using "couth" which like-
ly at one time was one of the more
reliable units of our pliable and evan-
escent English language. For an idea
however vague it may be of what
moderns think of these words grown
obsolete but still attractive Sara Col-
lins told me just this week that any-
one who would use "couth" as a word
would also wear button shoes.
A few of the Arcady boys were
loitering down near the boatdocks
last week-end and the conversation
got around to the ancient but still
fascinaitng subject of Futures. That
is they were talking of human Fu-
tures and after summarily disposing
of the preliminaries names were call-
ed. You would be surprised to learn
some of the predictions that were
voiced.
People you know were talked of
and J. P. Payne (Nubbin') was allot-
ted the career of sales manager for a
Middlewest manufacturer. Thelma
McCulley was spoken of as a possi-
ble fashion designer. Sue McClelland
it was agreed will operate a novelty
shop apart from some other success-
ful enterprise of somewhat larger di-
mensions. John Beckham according
to the decisions handed down by the
older charter members will eventu-
ally secure a neat position as re-
search chemist working for a petro-
leum concern (or the federal govern-
ment I never did learn definitely
which It was.) Someone laughingly
suggested that should he be unable
to hold down either of these jobs he
could successfully operate as stand-
in for Andy Devlne of the moomplt-
chers. How would you and I proceed if
suddenly we decided to coin a new
word for the English language (it
seems I can't get away from the beau
ties nnd marvels of dear old Oxonian
this week) In rather a sudden but per-
manent manner? Here is the way
it was once accomplished?
A Mr. Daly manager of a Dublin
thentre laid a wager in 1870 that he
could Introduce a new word with no
meaning into the language In 24
hours. Accordingly on every wall
these four mystic letters QUIZ were
chalked up and overnight all Dublin
was inquiring what they meant. The
wager was won and the word re-
mains In the language.
But would New York or Dallas or
Brownwood take the trouble to In-
quire what a new combination of let-
ters meant ? The answer is of course
no. So how will we go about it?
We cannot justly say that Edward
VI. of England was blessed or curs
ed with the prankish complex of a
Cyrano do Bcrgcrac nor for that
matter any of bis court. But the
quaint story is told that during bis
reign on the English throne the lands
of St. Peter's Church at Westminster
were appropriated to raise money for
the repair of St. Pauls.
Mark Twain once said that "man is
tho only animal that blushes or
needs to." And it was fifty or so
years later that Alexander Woollcott
begun observing the antics of man
and 1u.".v:."i;d the conclusions drawn by
the famous Mississippi humorist in a
crisp phrase in criticism of the thea-
tre "nothing risque nothing gain-
ed." Severul Daniol Baker students are
memburs of the Brownwood company
of the National Guard and each sum-
mer attend the encampment period at
Palaclos on the Gulf of Mexico. One
of tho little incidents of the past sum
mer concerns a pale youth from North
Texas who made his first sea-going
voyage during the Palaclos encamp-
ment it was shortly after the noon
hour and a few of the Guardsmen
were lounging about the rather apacl-

DINNER DATE
December 14 Announced for
the Annual Cogglns-Football
anquet Place Not Set.
Saturday December 14 has been
set as the date for the annual Coggin
Society-Varsity Football banquet. The
place has not been determined but
the members of the society will meet
within the next few days to decide
this and other details of the program
it was announced yesterday. The date
was agreed upon during a business
meeting held by the members of -the
Society in the Administration build-
ing Wedensday night. Hcttle Fae
Todd president of the Coggin Soci-
ety and Genevieve Mclnroe secre-
tary were in charge of the meeting.
Committees were appointed by the
president to arrange the motif to be
used at the banquet favors programs
and general arrangements. The up-
perclass members of the Society must
arrange dates for the banquet by De-
cember 1 it was announced follow-
ing the Wednesday night session. The
pledges have from December 1 to the
time of the banquet to "get" their
dates.
Spanish Supper
Following discussion and arrange-
ments concerning the football ban
quet it was decided that the members
of the Society will have a Spanish
supper at the La Paloma Cafe Tues-
day night November 10. This func-
tion will be given exclusively for the
members of the organization. The
group is planning a weiner roast for
the boys of the campus next week it

Yellow Jackets Doped to Fall
Before Powerful Cowboys
Here Saturday Afternoon.
Homecoming day will be celebrated
at Howard Payne tomorrow with
what Is expected to ultimately end
In a modified type of Roman Holi-
day when the ex-students of the
Baptist school will be invited to see
the Yellow Jackets play the Hardin-
Simmons Cowboys.
Only those blessed with the great-
est amount of optimism and the cor-
respondingly lowest amount of facts
of the matter hope to see the Jackets
emerge from the Simmons game vic-
torious. The Cowboys have been
rampaging through a particularly
tough schedule this year and have
either won or made an exceedingly
strong showing in every one ot tneir
games up to now. The Auuene Bap-
tists have so much power anil are so
confident that they upset piowara
Payne which they have been unable
to do since way back In 1927 that
they are not even publishing correct
weights and numbers of the players
on the Cowboy squad this year. Con-
flicting lists of players' weights have
been mailed to tho Howard Payne
officials and publications and It ap-
pears that the Yellow Jackets will
be rather uncertain of just what kind
of fate they are to encounter until
the teams actually go on the field.
The Yellow Jackets will have the
bareBt possible chance to land on top
of the Texas Conference standings
should they manage a win over Sim-
mons. But a tie or loss tomorrow
will mean lights out for the Jackets
this year and they win nave ww
content to take a lower berth for the
109R MlBOn.
Only one more game will remain on
h achedule for Howard Payne's
uifiuir anuad after the Simmons
game it being against Southwestern

FLOWERS FOR
BAKER GIRLS
rownwood Floral House
Gives Flower to Each Mem-
ber of the Pep Squad.
It has been announced that the
Brownwood Floral Company will pre-
sent each member of the Daniel
Baker pep squad with a corsage of
chrysanthemums for the game with
A. C. C. tonight at Howard Payne
Park.
This company which is one of the
most progressive business houses in
Brownwood has already manifested
an interest in the affairs and activi-
ties of Daniel Baker has been one
of the most reliable supporters of all
that the school has done in the past
and Mr. Shroeder and bis staff are
due much credit for the manner in
which they participate in the civic
programs of Brownwodd schools and
other organizations.
The pep squad has been planning
one of the most attractive of all the
performances yet staged this year
for the game tonight and the stu-
dents and fans who go to the game
are promised a full fifteen minutes
of entertainment between the halves
of the game. The part being played
by the Brownwood Floral Company
in making the stunt attractive will
be matched by the conscientious ef-
forts and practice of the girls led by
Maurlne Charnquist.
There will be two other home
games following the Billie-Wildcat
fray and It is hoped and expected
that the squad will be able to present
even better and more attractive drills
than in the past.
FROSH LOSE
TO McMURRY
Glpton's Freshman Team Al-
lows Papooses to Even Count
In Two-Game Grid Series.
The Daniel Baker freshmen foot-
ball team under the guidance of
Coach Herman Gipson have been hit-
ting It up rather well this season.
Last week they journeyed to Abilene
to engage the McMurry first year
men and when the smoke of battle
had cleared away the Kids held the
long end of a 7-6 score. In that game
the McMurry lads scored early in the
gume and it wasn't until late In the
fourth period that the Billy Kids wero
nblo to push over a touchdown and
add the extra point even though they
did threaten several times. The Kids
displayed a great deal of power
throughout the game. There are sev-
eral of th eboys who will make strong
bids for varsity berths next season.
Pctsig Snodgrass Watson and Steel
were outstanding in the backfleld
while Chllcote Alford and Angel
played good games in tho line.
In the second game played with
the same team in Brownwood last
Wednesday the Kids were unable to
get under over or around the big Mc
Murry linemen. The McMurry team
outweighed the home club by at least
ten pounds to the man and for that
teason alone the Kids were terribly
handicapped. Passes and punts by
Snodgrass were the feature of this
game along with the strong defense
the Kids put up. It wasn't until late
in the last quarter that the boys from
Abilene were able to make a marker.
This happened on a fluke play that
saw tho younar Indians take their
score unearned. Snodgrass Watson
and Petslg played a good game in the
backfiold and Alford and Chllcote
played good games In the line. Every
man In the game played jam up
games as far as that goes but the
above mentioned stood out more than
the others. Coach Gipson has had a
rather successful season with the
f rosb and be hopes for another game
or so before closing it

Public at Wisconsin
Madison Wis. Specifications for
yet another in the endless list of mod-
el college youths have been drawn up
by University of Wisconsin co-eds
and her they arc:
The No. 1 gentleman friend smokes

well (drinks only in moderation
doesn't try to get a date at the last
minute and restmlns his rampant

Most frowned on were two rare
species: the collegiate type and the

ROLL CALL IS
STARTED HERE
A. P. Rowland Speaks In
Chapel Wednesday in Inter-
est of Red Cross Roll Call.
Students of Daniel Baker were urg-
ed to participate In the 1035 Red
Cross roll call in an address deliv-
.ered n chapel Wednesday morning
by A. P. Rowland chairman of the
Brownwood enlistment campaign. Mr.
Rowland briefly outlined the program
of the Red Cross and asked the co
operation of the students and faculty
of Daniel Baker in the roll call.
The speaker stated that the Brown
wood chapter of the American Red
Cross of which W. A. Roussel is
chairman is seeking to avoid a house-to-house
personal solicitation during
the execution of the enlistment this
year and that the entire program will
be carried on using voluntary dona
tion plan throughout. The Brownwood
quota has been set at 1000 member-
ships each costing one dollar. Mr.
Rowland announced that for the first
few days of tills week the member-
ships obtained have been above ex-
pectations and urged the desirability
of maintaining this rate throughout
the drive.
Mrs. Wright who has charge of
the Daniel Baker enrollment an
nounced that membership cards and
buttons may be obtained by students
and faculty members In the Daniel
Baker library. The librarians will
have charge of this distribution she
stated. Fifty memberships were al-
lotted to Daniel Baker at the first of
this week to be distributed.
WHY NOT BUY
A GOOD TEAM
University of Louisville Offi-
cial Proposes Frankly that
Grid Team Be Purchased.
Louisville Ky. Honest straightforward-
and astounding Is the so-
lution of athletic worries proposed
by the Cardinal of the University of
Louisville: "Why Don't We Buy a
Good Football Team?"
Instead of Joining in the charges of
professionalism broadcast this year
as every year by college editors in-
stead of adding their moans to the
cries of defeat that surround every
losing team the editors of The Card-
inal offer what is to them tho only
answer: "Why Don't We Buy a Good
Football Team?"
"It Is apparent to all followers of
the game that cnllego football Is per-
haps the leading commercial Invest-
ment of institutions of higher learn-
ing" says Tho Cardinal. "There are
fewer and fewer schools which like
the University (of Louisville) cherish
the fond illusion that gridiron stars
dash forth on tho field after gruel-
ling hours of practice to do or die
for love of dear old Alma Mater
with the dollars that trlckel into the

DEBATE SET
FOR CHAPEL
Members of Debating Socie-
ty to Argue 8upreme Court
Decisions In Chapel Soon.
Presenting their first debate of the
year one week from today the Dan-
iel Baker Debating Society has
started early for a successful year
during the 1035-36 term. The mem-
bers of the society have been work-
ing diligently gathering material
since organization a few weeks ago
and a series of debates in chapel and
other public gatherings has been out-
lined for the year's program.
The first debate will be upon the
intercollegiate debate subject for the
1935-36 term "Resolved: that the
Congress should by a three-fourths
majority be allowed to overrule a
5-4 decision of the United States
Supreme Court." Sara Collins and
George Knoll will defend the affirm-
ative side of the argument and F. G.
Floyd and Nell Guthrie have been as-
signed to the negative side.
This debate will be presented in
chapel Friday morning a week from
this morning.
Those students interested in join
ing the debating society who have
not as yet made arrangements for
doing so are asked to see Sara Col
lins president or any of the above
members of the club.
PIRATES WE
BE HERE NEXT
Billies to Meet Southwestern
Pirates In Game Here Friday
Night November 22.
Southwestern University will fur
nish gridiron opposition for the Dan-
iel Baker Hill Billies in a Texas Con-
ference game here next Friday night
under the lights of Howard Payne
stadium. This will be the second
from last game of the season for the
Billies proceeding the St. Edwards
game the following week-end.
Southwestern has been prowling
about the lower regions of the con-
ference standings all season having
been kicked from pillar to post by
almost everybody in the league ex
cept St. Edwards who have been er-
ratic. Last week the Pirates from
Georgetown were taken into camp by
Trinity's big Tiger organization which
scored a rather decisive win over the
Methodists.
The Hill Billies will be watched
rather closely by Brownwood fans to-
night in their game with A. C. C. This
game is expected to be a harder bat-
tle than the Southwestern encounter
next week and the Blllio squad Is on
probation due to having a rejuvenated
and completely rearranged starting
line-up. Coach Taylor has announced
that at least four new faces will ap-
pear in the eleven that takes the field
against A. C. C. tonight nnd should
these boys come through the football
at all commendable there is no rea-
son for supposing that the same
crowd will not take the field against
Southwestern and St. Edwards to fin-
ish the season. After tho demoraliz-
ing game with McMurry last Satur-
day afternoon In Abilene local ex-
perts pick the Billies to scoro a come-
back and climb back to pre-season
form during their last three games
which are all to be played in Brown-
wood. If the team comes back to proper
condition and playing form in the A.
C. C. and Southwestern the best game
of the year will more than likely bo
turned In against St. Edwards moral
victors over Howard Payne last week
when the Tigers camo back In the
second half a la Notre Dame to match
H. P. C.'s 13-polnt lead to score a 13-
13 tie.
ACC TO HAVE
STRONG TEAM
Hill Billies to Be Forced to
Limit Against Strong Chris
tlan Team from Abilene.
Tonight nt Howard Payne stadi-
um the Billies play hosts to the
Abilene Christian Wildcats who last
week battled the strong Austin Col-
lege Kangaroos to a 6-6 deadlock.
By virture of this tie with the Kan-
garoos the Wildcats will be slightly
favored to take the long end of the
fcore tonight. The game will renew
the fucd that has been raging be-
tween the two schools for a good
many years. The two clubs are al-
ways closely matched and the scores
evidence as much. For the past two
years games have ended in ties.
Wildcats Are Large
The Wildcats boast a team that in
weight will average a great deal
higher than the Billies but as evi-
denced by previous games weight
has not mennt so much In the Texas
Confciencc. The visitors will find a
team that is rearing to make amends
for the showing they made against
McMurry last week and due to this
they arc likely to give the Christians
plenty of trouble.
Many Injuries
The Billies are handicapped by a
great many injuries. Pete Roach
captain and one of the conference's
best centers will be out another week
or so with n bad knee. Roach was
sorely missed In the McMurry and it
is not likely that he won't be missed
in the game tonight. He Is probably
the best defensive man on the Billy
squad. John Little has a rather ser-
ious hand injury but is not expected
to be kept out of the game entirely.
Bonus Mori is Co-captain and one of
the be.st ends in the conference is
bunged up rather bndly with a brok
en nose and a leg injury. But will
doubtless be in the starting lineup
tonight. Other regulars have slight-
er injuries that will do no more than
to worry thorn during the fray. Re
gardless of injuries or whatnots
coaches Taylor and Meyers will have
eleven scrapping Billies on the field
when the whistle blows. Barnhard
is one of the backficld squadmen
who hasn't played much to date but
is expected to play quite awhile to
night. He has assutcd fans that he
is a scinpper and really wants to
play.
