VOL. XXX.
RAMS TO PLAY
Begin Here Today
y Travis Foster
If you are one who keeps a scrap-
book filled with odds and ends verse
epigrams catchy phrases and that
sort of thing I trust you have added
to it this Hindu proverb: There are
six evils which man must overcome if
he is to enjoy prosperity: sleep sloth
fear anger Idleness and procrastina-
tion. Lawrence Tlbbett announces that
early in his singing career he had to
turn down urgent advice from friends
who told him he should change his
name professionally to Lorenzo Tib-
betto. Being an American Tibbett
had very pronounced ideas concerning
American music and singers. He re-
fused to brand himself with the false
name and Implied background of Eu-
ropean training. Speaking of Ameri-
can music he states further:
"American music always has been
worthy and Is improving every day.
What has changed however is Amer-
ica's point of view. We are not so
inclined to feel that if something is
foreign and unintelligible it must be
good. We are becoming courageous
enough to speak up and tell honestly
what we like. If Al Jolson Is your
favorite singer and 'Melancholy Baby'
your favorite tune and you say so
that's grand. If you honestly enjoy
Lully's somber "Bois Epais" I am de
lighted. But if deep in your heart you
like "Melancholy Baby" and are
afraid to say so you're out of step
for America is learning it is no dis-
grace to be croud of its own. It is
not a sign of imbecility to enjoy pop-
ular music. The morons are those
who don't like any music."
Nothing strips a man's personality
down to its reality so much as his
sense of humor. See a man laughing
and one's opinions of him are set with
the firmness of concrete once it is
known what caused him to laugh. Our
curiosity will prompt us nine times
out of ten to ask "what's so funny"
or "watchoo laughing at?" immedi
ately upon hearing a friend raise his
voice in mirth or unon seeing the
slightest grin spread over his coun
tenance.
But there are differences of opinion
regarding the relative merits of laugh-
ter. Christopher Morley Insists that
when a reader turns up one corner of
his mouth In a silent chuckle the
author haa "got him" then and there.
But O. O. -Mclntyre disagrees and
maintains that he will get the great
est pleasure of his life when he If
ever accidently overhears a reader
of his syndicated column omit a roar-
ing "belly laugh" over some triviality
found in the paragraphs.
And Tldous Huxley said this on the
subject: "A little ruthless laughter
clears the air as nothing else can do;
it is good for us every now and then
to see our Ideals laughed at our con-
ceptions of nobility caricatured; It
is good for solemnity's nose to be
tweaked for human pomposity to be
made to look ridiculous."
One of the things I should pin to the
.wall of my room: "Some people be-
lieve they are thinking when they are
only being systematically conscious."
In one of his recent delightful In-
formal essays about the theatre Alex-
ander Woollcott let fly this spark:
"The audience strummed its catarrh."
A writer recently said that there
are no ex-Texana for once a Texan
always one no matter In what corner
of the world he may stray. And one
of the moat distinguished Texans In
the country today and one who la
likely to be a lot more distinguished
in the next few years is Stanley
Walker 30-year old Lampasas boy
who haa la the course of ten years
served aa city editor of the New York
Herald Tribune managing editor of
the New York Mirror and written

DAVIS GIVES
CHAPEL TALK
R. V. Davit Delivers One of
Most Interesting Talks Heard
During the Year In Chapel.
Robert Y. Davis rector of the St.
Johns Episcopal Church condensed
into one fifteen minute address one
of the most Interesting and entertain-
ing chapel talks heard by the stu-
dents of Daniel Baker this year dur-
ing the period Wednesday morning.
The Rev. Mr. Davis has appeared In
chapel twice previous to this week
and on both occasions has brought
discussions of great intellectual inter-
est and eloquently delivered.
The address Wednesday was based
on the subject of "Common Virtues"
and dealt briefly but brilliantly of the
topics Courtesy Honesty Loyalty and
Apprehension of Beauty. The speak-
er stressed the practical values of
careful cultivation of each of these
virtues which are likely to be over-
looked or underestimated in value he
said.
In his concluding sentences the
speaker emphasized the increased joy
that Is to be had from life with the
consclenclous adherence to the simple
rules of honesty and loyalty and the
pleasure that "the inner citadel of the
soul" can command through a thor-
ough development of a sense of ap-
preciation for the beautiful.
By its very brevity the address by
the Rev. Mr. Davis showed itself a
product of an intelligent discerning
kind and the student body was for
tunate in being given the opportunity
of sharing truth so well conceived and
delivered.

PLANS HADE
FOR ANNUAL
Editor Harvey Hickman An
nounees Finance Plan for the
1036 Edition of Annual.
Final arrangements for the financ-
ing of The Trail Daniel Baker year-
book were explained to the student
body In chapel Tuesday morning by
Harvey Hickman editor of the book
The entire chapel period was devoted
to discussion of the preparations being
made for issuing the Trail this spring
and In -addition to the talk by Hick
man Dr. Davis and member of the
senior class spoke briefly on plans for
the book.
Editor Hickman announced that the
students will not include the three
dollars and fifty cents fee for the year
book in the student activity fee for
the spring semester when registering
at the office next wek as was previ-
ously announced but will pay it in a
separate amount to him or Charles
Hickman business manager for the
1936 Trail. These two will be in the
office on registration days and will
receive payment of the fee and the
account will be Independent of the
regular activity fee. It was voted
earlier in the year to Include the year
book money In the activity fee but
this plan was rejected with an agree
ment between the faculty and staff
of the year book. It is believed that
the present plan of making separate
payments for The Trail will avoid con
fusion and will enable the staff to
obtain working funds for publication
of the book In a more systematic
manner.
Both Editor Hickman and Dr. Davis
expressed the hope and belief that
students will show an active spirit of
co-operation with those In charge of
The Trail this year and will bend
every effort toward securing the best
possible book for the 1930-36 school
year.
Hickman announced that all photo-
graphs of Individual students are due
now and that the time limit for Hav-
ing these poses made at the down-
town' studio will be closed within a
very few days. If there are students
who have not as yet had poses made
and who wish to do so they should
see him and make arrangements at
the earliest possible moment he said.
Quite a number of campus snap-
shots and other feature pictures have
been made and the Indications are
favorable for publication of a com-
pletely representative year book this
year. But it has been 'pointed out re-
peatedly this will be possible only
whan the support and co-operation of
every student haa been pledged.

BILLIES TAKE
OPENER 52-13
San Angelo Junior College
Team Offers Little Competi-
tion for lilies Saturday.
Favored to land high in the Texas
Conference basketball race this year
the Daniel Baker Hill Billies romped
through an easy warm-up game with
the San Angelo Junior College quin-
tet for a 02-13 win here Saturday
night. The game was one of the feat-
ures of the sixth annual invitation
high school basketball tournament
and preceded the championship game
of the tournament between Evant and
Comanche. It was the first game of
the year for the Billies and the score
bears out pre-season predictions that
Coach Myers' team will show plenty
of speed to the boys in the Texas loop
this year.
The laas wasted no time in estab-
lishing their superiority scoring fast
in the early moments of play. J. J.
McDanlels and Jake McCulley high
scorers of the evening led the scor-
ing off soon after the opening whis-
tle and by the intermission between
halves the BUlls were out In front
by 20 to 7.
As the second half began the Bil-
lies stalled for several minutes evi-
dently testing their "waiting" pow-
ers holding the ball In mldfleld for
some time without any apparent ef
fort to increase the heavy lead run up
In the first period. But as the half
progressed McDaniel McCulley etc.
began slinging them again and the
score was finally run to 02-13 before
the game ended.
McDanlels led the scoring with a
total of 20 points followed by Mc-
Culley with 12. Beans Morris got
warm In the second half and added
eight points to the Billies side of the
scoring as well turning in a nice de-
fensive game.
All the varsity substitutes saw ac-
tion in this game and the entire squad
appeared well-balanced and came
through with a smooth game through-
out the play. Only six personal fouls
were called against the Billies which
is unusually low for the first game
of the year.
Guard drilling has been served the
boys this week in preparation for the
T. W. C. game tonight in the Daniel
Baker gymnasium. This is due to be
one of the season's hardest games
and the Billies will have lots of busi-
ness to dispose of before emerging
victors over the Rams from Fort
Worth.

bers of the orchestra and Miss Bra-
nom report that a swell time waa had
by all.
No special program was prepared.
Those taking part enjyode the Infor-
mality of making and eating the two
kinds of candy and from all reports
gaity was the highlight of the even-
ing. Plans for similar entertainments in
the future are In the making.

Strong Ft. Worth Baskettball
Team Will Test Mettle of
Hill Billies Here Tonight.
After their impressive victory over
the rather weak quintet from San An-
gelo Junior College last week the Bil-
lies are confident that they will take
the much stronger Rams from Texas
Wesleyan College at Fort Worth to-
night in the Daniel Baker gym.
The Texas Wesleyan outfit last
week won a rather impressive con-
test with a member of our own con-
ference Austin College. This fact
alone establishes the Rams as a tough
foe for the Billies to down.
Billies Work Hard
The Billies realize that the game
last week was not a real test of their
strength and they are not fooled Into
believing that they will have a "set-
up" in any game that they may play
this season. In view of this Coach
Meyers has been drilling the boys hard
not overlooking any phase of the
game in preparation for this 'import-
ant game.
Chrane Out
The whole Hill Billy squad is in
very good physical condition with the
exception of the regular and veteran
guard Charles Chrane. Charlie has
an infected foot and itis doubtful that
he will play any at all In the game
tonight. However his foot is almost
certain to be well by the time the next
game rolls around. Beans Morris haa
been nursing an injured hand the
greater part of the week but from
all indications he will be ready to see
a great deal of action.
Plenty of Confidence
The boys all seem to be rather con-
fident that they will win the Texas
Conference title this season. Their
practice sessions verify the fact that
they will be tough for anybody's club
all right but after tonight's game
ono can tell better what sort of a
threat they will be.
UC IS RANKED

Recent Atlantic Monthly Ar-
ticle Incites Dispute Over (
.Ranking of Universities.
BOSTON MASS. The University
of California the University of Wis-
consin and Harvard are ranked in that
order as distinguished institutions of
learning by Walter C. Eells writing
in the current Atlantic Monthly.
The article waa written in refuta-
tion of a similar piece by Edwin R.
Embree which appeared in the At-
lantic last year. "Embree declaring
that Harvard waa "In a class by It-
self" placing it at the top of his list.
According to Eells Embree'a arti-
cle was "dogmatic and annoying" and
waa the result of subjecting the facts
to "violent and perhaps questionable
treatment."
"In my study" says Eells "the In-
stitutions were ranged in order first
according to number of departments
In which they were judged to be 'ade-
quately staffed and equipped' and sec-
ond by a composite method In which
a weight of 2 was assigned to each
