r-
We'll sec you in Brownwood this af-
ternoon out on the Howard Pnyne
gridiron where the Cowboys and Yel-
low Jackets will again attempt to set-
tle their age-old question of football
supremacy. Everybody will be on
hand for a big grand and glorious
time. And docs the central Texas city
have those beautiful females? If you
have time drop by the metropolis of
Brady which is only about 40 miles
from the scene of hostilities. Maybe
the Brady municipal band could be
persuaded to meet you at the gates
of the city. We have a key to the
city but rumor has it that the city
dads have changed the lock.
Coming as a surprise to your hum-
ble correspondent were the actions of
two well known Mary Frances co-eds
last Sunday night. We have their
names but a sense of protection for
the downtrodden keeps us from ex-
posing something that would set this
campus on fire. Girls you're young
and a tip at this stage of the game
will not mean anything to you but
try the fatherly advice of one who
knows the ropes a little and forget
what you are intending to do tonight.
It may be too bad for all concerned
If you don't Think it over at any
rate and you will need no advice. You
know who you are so BE CAREFUL.
A good time can be had without go-
ing to such lengths.
A prize of 1100000000 will be given
to the one person in this institution
who likes what is said about him or
her in this department. Entries must
have been received week beforo last
in the offico of Sing Sing prison or
tho Texas School for tho Insane where
we intend to go for a rest cure beforo
very long.
Otto the Rhome from Cleburne
garnered a new name while sojourn-
ing in El Paso Juarez and vicinity
last week. "Ten Dollar Rhome" is the
new monicker. All of the lads seem to
have had a big time and many arc
sporting new names and familiar
things. Winters brought back a ring
Seed a ring and Rhome ....
A maiden seen in the border city
asks for information on a well known
instructor hereabouts to whom she
claimed kinship. The local man de-
nies all accusations but she did know
his name and initials and what he
does.
"Mama" RJcheson promised to take
some of It too if one of her little gals
Beth Hamra would only take her med-
icine. That wfc.8 Monday. Tuesday
both were expected to improve grad-
ually. Exercise is the best cure for
any ill anyhow.
m And now from the sublimo to the
absurd Who ever told Clara Guinn
Guinn she could run for Queen any-
way? This system of electing the
favorites and student officers is in
for a big tumble. Tho student asso-
ciation it to call a meeting very soon
to prepare an amendment for the
student body to vote on. It looks like
the new deal is to usher in a truly
democratic system of voting. Roose-
velt and the Simmons Brand nro
doing their best for you.
Back on the campus again for no
good reason at all is Noll Scwell
pride and Joy of Midlothian. The fat
man insists that "Chum" Corley sent
for him to promote her race for
Queen but that he Just couldn't get
here in time. Probably that is why
she was elected.
This week's lace-trimmed cuspidor
'goes to Peggy Gideon who while in-
'tcrviewing the famous man of letters
Sewell asks him in a sweet tone "Mr.
Sewell to what do you attribute your
SEX"? What Bho meant to say and
what she said must havo been two
different things (We hope). Sewell's
answer was censored and won't show
up until about APRIL FOOL.

Contest To Be 18th
Between Two Clubs
With Jackets 9-Up
Controversy Over Game Date
Leads To More Hot
Rivalry
Clash Slated" For 3:30
Simmons Backficld In Poor
Condition While H.P.
Rests A Week
Two fighting organizations of 11
men each line-up on opposite ends of
of tho field. The air is tense; the
cheering throngs hnve become
strangely quiet. The proverbial noise
of a pin dropping can bo heard. Tho
whistle shrilly pierces the air. They
arc off for another battle of the cen-
tury. What goes on from this in-
stance is a matter of guesswork that
sixty minutes of football alone will
tell.
You guessed it. It is the opening
kickoff of the grudge battle between
tho Simmons Cowboys and tho How-
ard Puyno Yellow Jackets which will
bo played at 3:30 o'clock this after-
noon in Brownwood. Tho score well
it is something that no ono can truth
fully tell until later in the day. The
law of averages should award the
gamo to tho Cowboys but the age-
old fight of the Yellow Jackets may
give them the long end of the final
check-up.
Win In 1927
It has been six long dreary years
since the locals have defeated the
Brownwood Baptists. In 1027 the
educated toe of Big "Swede" Pittman
camo to life to kick a field goal which
sent the Jackets back homo sadder but
wiser.
Out of 17 games which have been
played between tho two institutions
tho Ranchers have won only three and
have gotten a tic in two more. In
other words tho Chencymcn stand
eight-up on games won. The clash
in 1030 was n tie 7 to 7 and marked
the conclusion of Cowhand scoring
ngainst Howard Payne until this pres-
ent hour.
An underdog Jacket camo to town
in 1931 and whipped a cocky Cowboy
all over the field for a 20 to 0 win.
Again in 1932 tho central Texas lads
arrived by way cf a special train and
proceeded to administer another lick-
ing this time 10 to 0. Tho scene of
the strife shifts this year to Brown-
wood but tho old grudgo is still there.

Richardson Writes
Book About Indians
Which IsOff Press
Advance Copies Received of
"Comanche Barrier To
Plains Settlement"
Advance copies of "Tho Comanche
Barrier to South Plains Settlement"
by Rupert Norval Richardson vice-
president of Simmons university und
professor of history were off the
press this week. The volumo depicts
a century and a half of savage resist-
ance to tho advancing white frontier
and is published by tho Arthur H.
Clark company Cleveland Ohio.
The impressive blue-bound gilt-
lettered volume is one culmination of
an idea conceived by Dr. Richardson
some ten years ago that tho history
of a frontier might bo told in relat-
ing of tho history of a superb savage
tribe the Comancho Indians. The
purpose of the work expressed in the
preface is "to give an account of tho
conflict of tho comanche3 with the
moro advanced peoples who finally
succoeded in occupying their coun-
try." Indian Wars
The opening chnptcr is titled "An
Account of the Comancho Indians nnd
Their Country." Other chapters deal
with such piloses of Comanche his-
tory as the relations of the Coman-
ches and tho Spaniards in New Mex-
ico nnd Texas the clashes between
the Comanches and Anglo-Americans
in Texas Sam Houston's friendliness
toward nnd Lamar's hostility for tho
Indians and the 20 years of struggle
before the United States finally suc-
ceeded in keeping the Comanches on
a reservation.
Tho incident of tho Council House
murder in which Texans killed 25
Indians who had como to treat with
them and tho'tcrriblo Comancho raids
across tho Rio Grande into Mexico
whence children wero brought back
captive arc related in tho volume. Tho
final pages of the narrativo give the
conclusion of tho 20 years struggle
which finds tho Comanche tribe oc-
cupying less than 5000 squaro miles
of territory as sompared to the quar-ter-of-n-million
square miles of coun-
try once their own.

By Frances Lawlis
The threo-act play "Go Ahead"
was a smashing success when pre-
sented by the Players' club Tuesday
night in tho fine arts auditorium.
Sam Chambers president of the
club took tho part of Maurice Kop-
per in the play. Koppcr was a jew
who had "got rich quick." He had
been n dear friend for 40 years of
Jacob Stlcglitz another character
lead played by Clint Irwin. Mrs.
Koppcr's wife Rebecca Koppcr was
portrayed very successfully by Ollie
Lena Olsen who was scornful with
an attempt to bo in high society.
Young Doctor
Tho regular leads of tho play wero
taken by Estcllo Hancock who play-
ed tho part of Zora Koppcr's only
child nnd Rupert Jackson who took
the role of David Stieglitz Jacob's
only son. Young David was a doctor'
just finishing from medical school and
trying to bo introduced to the profes-
sion by a very proud father who
knew nothing of tho ethics of doc-
tors. Charles Gaunt (taysd tho part of
Leo Von Krlessheim tho very proud
nephew of Mrs. Koppcr. Leo was
supposed to be a proud boy with lit-
tle ambition and less character. He
"sponged" off of his uncle and at-
tempted to work in his office but
loafed instead. His aunt schemed to
marry him off to her step-daughter

Freshman Quartet Appears
Tuesday Morning in Chapel
The freshman boys quartet of Sim-
mons university made their first pub-
lic appearance of tho year in chapel
Tuesday morning November 20. Tho
quartet is composed of Ccarlcy Ki-
nard Charles Gauntt Perry Yancey
and Jack Wilson. '
Tho boys song two numbers "He
Lives on High" and "Nobody Knows
the Trouble I've Seen."
Will The "Sissies" Win ?
Two years ago a fighting Howard
Pnync footbnll team which had
been doped by the experts to lose
to the Simmons Cowboys by three
or four touchdowns came to Abi-
lene and whipped the cocky locals
all over the lot for a 20 to 0 upset
victory. With this defeat also went
the Cowboys chance for undisputed
possession of tho Texas conference
crown. They had to bo content
with sharing it with the Jackets.
These same boys from Brown-
wood camo to town again last year
this time on Armistice day and
proceeded to take .up where they
had left off the year before com-
pletely smothering tho Ranchers
for a 13 to 0 win.
According to thoso "in the know"
tho Simmons crew has not a
chance. Tho contestants are the
same this year; practically the
same line-ups will meet each oth-
er that have played in the othor
two battles. Tho scene of battle
alone will be shifted. Tho Cow-
boys find themselves tho under-
dogs this timo with injuries and
ineligibilities having taken a heavy
toll. Tho Yellow Jackets are doped
to win by ono or moro touchdowns.
Out of a total of seventeen games
played between the two institu-
tions the Cowboys have won only
three. It has been six long years
since the Wranglers have defeated
tho Brownwood Baptists What is
to bo tho result this year. Are the
Cowboys going to let theso Jackets
take their measure again? Somo

of the series of tho study course at
the B. S. U. meeting Thursday eve-
ning November 23. Instead of giv-
ing the examination on the study
course at this meeting it was decided
to place a list of questions in the B.
S. U. office in order that the stud-
ents may take the exam at their own
convenience.
Player Better
Lucian Long Daniel Baker fresh-
man football player injured in a game
Saturday was slightly improved yes-
terday. Another blood transfusion
had been given but little hopo was
held for his recovery.
critics have said that several mem-
bers of the club will not be able to
stand up to tho punishment thnt
they are duo to receive in Brown-
wood this afternoon. They also
say that tho present edition of
Coaches Cranfill and Anderson is
made up of a bunch of "sisscs"
who aro interested moro in what
the co-eds think of them than
whether they win a footbnll game.
It's all over if tho opposition makes
a touchdown against them because
they all quit they continue.
Personally wo do not believe that
these accusations will carry water
but the game today will tell in so
many words the truth. This is
tho last year for many of the play-
ers to participate against Howard
Payne. Is their memory to bo
tainted with thoughts of how a
weak Jacket whipped a strong
Cowboy all over the field and made
him like it or will ho remember
how Simmons took Howard Payne
and Brownwood by storm to ring
up ono of tho most outstanding
victories in Texas conference his-
tory. Many of tho Ranchers will prob-
ably bo up in arms nt tho editor
of this paper and it will bo all
right with us if they arc but first
take some of it out on tho Brown-
wood lads and then wo will npolo-
gizo. The timo has come. The set-
ting is perfect. Play ball and win
Cowboys or loaf "sissies" and be
humiliated and disgraced again.
Afternoon In
Miss A. M. Carpenter head of the
Simmons department of art whose
picture "Morning Mist" won first
