Haverford College is continu-
ing the unlimited cut system at
the institution for another sem-
ester. The dean claims that al-
though he expects a certain ex-
lent of excessive cuting he be-
lieves that the system will be
successful in time. Last semes-
ter when the unlimited cutting
existed there were no ill effects
experienced by the grades where
the right sort of student takes
it seriously.
Father: "Your studies are
costing me a lot of money."
Son: "I know dad and I don't
study very hard either."
Then there's the addle-headed
father whose son was crying for
a saxophone so he gave him one
to keep him quiet.

Stoup L. White Roberts and the
Snodjrrass boys. Gus and Percy.
Florence sends Cy Rutledge and
Red Smart. May bi-district
champions last year send Ben
Cook and Odis Burnett. Both
are nice shots and should devel
op into stars before their four
years have elapsed.
John Tarleton of Stephenville
sends Bodie Hunter as a for-
ward. Last year in a game
against the Billies Hunter was
high point man for the Plow-

son has been forced to abandon
the court because of a trick
knee.
Santa Anna contributes Polly

Fanning C. Harris and Linken
hoger. The schedule for this
year includes eighteen T. I. A. A.
games. The Billies do not play
the Denton Eagles or the Can
yon Buffaloes. The first home
games are with A. C. C. in early
February. The games with San
Marcos and East Texas are go
ing to be hard. San Marcos trim
med the powerful Longhorns
from Texas in a game last week.
The Billies last year dedicated
the new basket ball gym by win-
ning the T. I. A. A. It is our
firm belief they can repeat. The
schedule is the best the games
are not crowded or sandwiched
in between.

plica of a railway train was In

Christmas Shopping
To go shopping with a woman
a man should nave much pa-
tience for when one has gone
to every store in town he will
feel that he has done a good
day's work. There is really no
way to acquire this patience ex-
cept to go shopping with one of
the so-called "weaker" sex. I
say "so-called" weaker sex be-
cause there is not a man living
who can go to every ladies' store
in town a dozen times in one day
and enjoy it.
Another nice thing to have is
Ions? arms. I would say more
arms but we do not belong to
the octapus family so two long
arms will have to suffice. Espe-
cially are lonsr arms nice when
one is helping do the Christmas
shopping. When a woman starts
shopping she has a tendency to
buy about half-a-dozen small
items for each article she had
intended to buy when she asked
you to go with her. These small
packages of notions and what-
nots must be carried by the gen-
tleman friend and again I say
long arms are nice to have be-
cause with them one can carry
more packages aqd be more com-
fortable in doing so.
Then another necessity speak-
ing from the standpoint of a
father husband or rich uncle
is a well filled pocket book. Of
course the pocket book should
be made of some durable ma-
terial and kept in a handy place
for one does not have any idea
how many times it will have to
be brought forth.
Charge It Please
Next a good credit is needed
for after one has emptied the
pocket book or has tired of go-
ing through the act of getting it
out usually after having emptied
the billfold it is a very handy
to say "Charge it."
The next three necessities are
required only when one wishes to
be a successful ladies' helper in
shopping. These necessities are
a vocabulary which literally
speaking is babbling over with
descriptive adjectives a love for
debate and good . taste. This
vocabulary will be needed when
milady starts trying on every
coat dress hat or pair of shoes
in town for she will expect you
to use a different set of adjec-
tives for each article.
Then the love for debate will
be needed when you have been
to every store in town. A wo-
man has to try on every article
in town of the kind which she
expects to purchase. After she
has been to each store she ex-
pects you to help her eliminate
just one store. Then she will go
through the same process again
and you help eliminate the sec-
ond store. So you see that the
sooner you will eliminate the un-
desired articles in the last store
and get home.
A good taste is necessary if
you are to be a good shopper and
I am sure that you want to be
for it is really enjoyable if you
like it. If milady finds that you
have misadvised her on any one
article she is liable to send every
article back and that would be
evidence that we were not only
bad shoppers but that our work
had been in vain.
And while it's on our mind
do your Christmas shopping early.
