And wOWed die importe of a solution
of the question under discussion. Terms
were then defered. Adams developed the
first two points of the affirmative argu-
ment which were: (1) vaccination in it-
self Is dangerous to health and life; (2)
vaccination will not prevent mall-pox.
Under thti'firit point the argument was
made that vaccination is In itself ft dis-
ease and a filthy practice which makes
one less aWt) ia wkhMamd ether disrkses..
It Is dangerotM to hestrfi and life aid U
superstitious in its. origin. Many end-
hent authors are on record as effxed to
vacclMtion. and statistics verify tlte feet
two Adams cited Japan and the history
of smallpox In this ntet highly vaccinated
.country in the world as an example of
the fsct that vaccination will net prevent
mall-pox. In Riwula and Germany' also
i small-pox has failed to be completely

ot otliclat reperte it ts seen ttiati vaccina-
tion will not totally prevent small-pox.-James
Childress Zrllncr was the. first
negative speaker. In ;his opening- remarks
he spoko nf the practice of fadism by tho
public along every line lie stated that
the uestlon of compulsory vaccination Is
not only academic but vital to the life
and health of people today. Some means
of preventing such disasters as w?re re-
corded recently in the Fort Worth Star-
Telegram must bo. resorted to.
Childress discussed three questions which
were: (1) Is a prevention for small-pox
necessary and desirable? (2) Will vac-
dilation present small-pox? (3) Is there
any other ntcans of preventing small-pox?
In discMwittg tho first question it was
brought out that the very fact that small-
pox exists is reason enough that some
preventive Is desirable and necessary.
Quoting from Sternberg's Infection and
Immunity on the history of small-por it
Is seen that small-pox U still a terror and

The party reached the lake in the dawn

hearts and mouths of the young .men the
following:
"Look love-what envious streaks

Immediately following theso outbursts
ofe'arncstness (?) the young ladles per-
sueded their ardent admirers to seat them-
selves Upon the downy cushioned seats of
cement. Upon growing tired of their
said seats "Let's exploro" was suggested.

YOUNG MAN INVESTI-
GATES VITAL QUESTION
Childress asked the question "Wlilcl
more important a cure' or 'a preventive?"
In answering it he showed by statistics
from England Prussia and Sweden that
In countries where compulsory vaccination
has been adopicd tliat small-pox has been
almost; totally prevented. Coming nearer
home in Taylor county not one person
who had been vaccinated took the disease
of small-pox during the epidemic. It was
thus proWlirtSjeifVlfrynt.

any other means of prevention of small-pox'
Childress ataled that ny other weijM.of
combatting tiie disease would not be a
preventive. No other method had been
offered by the affirmative. '
Frank Kerchevllie affirmative on be-
ginning hU' speech' submitted some ques-
tions to the gentlemen of the negative.
He developed the remaining three points
of the affirmative namely that: 1) Com-
pulsory vaccination is absolutely opposed
to the inalienable rights of mankind; (2)
Persons who have actually studied' and in-
yestlgated the question oppose vaccination)

It has been observed that a certain
young man of doubtful mental stability
has been asking for sonjo time this ques-
tion: "What ore girls good for?" Occa-
sionally lie varies the pharsing and says
MWIiat are women good for?" For the most
part he put his Interrogations to the girls
and women themelves; but few of the
men about the campus have been so ques-
tioned. The replies tint he lias been receiving
are of a jocular nature for the most part.
Most of the young ladles thought the mat-
ter a light one and so the strain of their
rejoinders is this: "Not good for any
thing.- Some said "To mak men worry."
Others naively smirked "To make men
marry." (The young investigator is not
qujlo certain -whether the proper Word is
"marry" or ".merry" but taking life as
he fauond It decided on the former) One
young lady was plainly nonplussed. "Why"

JOHN M. RICE SPEAKS
TO COLLEGE STUDENTS
John M. Rice gospel preacher spoke
In chapel last week on the subiect Does
It Pay? His speech in brief follows:
"It pays to gd on no matter how hard
may seem the way; it pays to sing in chap
el in tho home and in the church It
pays to do everything you can 'do that Is
legitimate and right. There are some
things which it does not pay to do. It
does not. pay to go where Jesus Would not
go; Does it pa to violate tho law? No.
It' does not pay to violate the laws of
home country or the laws of Christian
liberty. Happy is tho man 'who violates
no law. It pays to plant grain for it
grows and develops. "In each person is
that which' can be developedJnto a moral
spiritual "physical and' menial" being.' It
pays to develop." .tfi5r.-i. '
In what was declared tho best gridiron
performance ever given by a team In Com-
mcrce the Abilcno Christian College team
whipped tho big East Texas Normal Col.
lege team on ihe Normal Field on Thank's-
giving Day by the score of 30 to 2. The
Christians wero expected hy a very great
majority of tho spectators to lose because
of the great advantage in weight Which
was in favor wf the East Tcxans but after
the first three minutes of play the Wild-
cats were completely In chargo of the af-
fair Tho .feature of tho Christians' play
was thp fighting spirit which was displayed
by them. Every player seemed to play
wim me tnougtit that each play meant the
outcome of the gamo. They tackled In a
deadly manner. The forward offenso tore
great holes In the East Texas line. Timo
and. again tho East Texas backs were
thrown for losses by a charging Wildcat.
Dillingham Daniel Beall Curtis WII-
Hams and Robinson wero all able to make
substantial gains through tlie' heavy line.
The work of the Abilene Christian Col-
lego lino was superb. No substitutions
were mado In the lipo and every man. play-
ed a great game both on offense and de-
fense. Collins was In every play. Ho and
Scott with Smith were able to open holes
for good gains by Dillingham Daniel
and Williams at will. Cantrell played
Ms usual jam-up game. One of the hard-
est players in tho field for the East. Tex-
ans to.handle wa Virgilmith jJ;o- went
wild.. "Not "content with taking one man
out of each play he would .dash to the
secondary defense and clip laaother. Sev-
eral times lie dumped three men la tlie
interference and downed the runner iwkli
one hand. His kicking was good. Twice
ho kicked behind tho East Texas line ano!
each time hekicked back of the 20 yard
lino. At snatching passes he was the star
of the game. He completed three for a
total gain of 47 yards. Smith will go down
in history as one of tlie greatest players
ever developed here. Craig" played a con-
sistent game at center. Ho was pitted
against Captain File of the East Texas
team who played defensive center and
offensive guard. Fite is a great player
and tho two staged a real battle.
The plunging of Daniel and Williams
was a revelation both to the enemy and
to the spectators. Dillingham's cool work
in directing tho play of the team waa tho
subject of much praise. Curtis was good
at returning punts and got away for several
good gains around the ends. Beall played
a great game until his soro shoulder -was
hurt. The work of Robinson who is play-
ing Ids first year of football was good.
He made several substantial gains 'through
tlie line.. . j
Bob Vaughn was a real wildcat through-
out the game. His ferocious abuse of the
opposing lineman was the cause of much
pleading with tlie umpire but tliat official
invariably informed tlifa East Texans that
"lie's just pouring it on you." Scott and
Brown at guards were both in the game
en every play. No substantial gains were
made through thciiu- Scott broke through
and recqvered Fewharty'a fumble m the
third period and ran 20 yards fpr a touch-
down. East Texas scored a safety early in tlie
first period after a. 15 yard penalty had
placed the ball on the Christian 1 yard
lino in tlie possession of the visitors. Dil-
lingham's klcki was blocked and he recov-
ered the ball behind Ids goal line as he
was tackled. . -
After the East Texans had scored the
safety A. C. C. began a rush from iter
30 yard line which brought several first
downs. An intercepted pass stopped the
drive momentarily and a lively nuntlm:
duel insUed which ended with Curtis'- re-
covery of Dillingham's punt on the East
Texas 32 yard jine as the first . period
ended-

Successive plunges by Curtis Dillingham
