Glancin Around
OUT ON THE HILL
Mid-terms are dead and gone . . .
was it all so bad? . . . seems that
most of the students and all of the
teachers lived over it . . . maybe
Daniel Baker can take it and jump
into the top position . . . seems
that exams are killing college stu-
dents all over the country yet the
Billies run through them and
thrive.
Received another of those un-
signed editorial suggestions a few
days ago ... of course we have
our ideas as to its origin . . . have
turned down a good many such
contributions this year and will
continue to do so . . . if students
aren't interested enough to bring
the articles in person or sign their
names it's a sure thing their ideas
couldn't be very important . . .
the editor will be responsible only
when there's a definite source and
definite proof of the truth of the
statements . . . yours for more
openness in communications. . .
Have a new football coach . . .
are waiting to see the results . ...
had a winning bunch before . . .
and meanwhile we are watching
the conference cage race . . . seems
that a new conference champion
will be crowned about the end of
the season . . . T. W. C. wrecking
everything in the way and the
Billies are having a hard time get-
ting started . . . wonder what will
happen . . .
What do we have against our
business managers? . . . nothing
. . . what's more we want nothing
. . . they are below our intellectual
level so we don't associate except
when there are others present and
we have to be nice . . . maybe it's
the mountain air . . .
It seems that some students just
can't read . . . office is still the
meeting place for some of the stu-
dents who do not care to attend
chapel ... we think that the
atmosphere in chapel is much more
helpful than that which is created
in the office when a session gets
under way . . . maybe it would be
well to start mentioning names
. . . someday ...
We sorta like our little midget
. . . this paper ... it seems to
be just the thing for a school this'
size ... it seems good enough
for larger schools . . . anyway
it's a journalistic accomplishment
... or something ... it makes
it possible to leave out a lot of
stuff that some of the students
write for fun . . . or maybe it's all
that kind of writing . . .
Congratulations to Mr. Blair and
Mr. Ward . . . seems that they
have about the same ideas in re-
gard to some things in which we
have been interested . . . straight
shooters . . . and there are others
on the faculty . . . maybe some-
one else could name a few .
those two were outstanding at the
moment the thought entered our
minds and they stay just about
there too . . . interesting ...
Stunt night is finally coming up
. . . maybe there will be something
new in the way of humor in the
air . . . this old serious stuff just
won't work this soon after exam-
inations ... and that basketball
tournament that is coming up
should prove of interest to some
who have never seen a bunch of
girls on a court . . . which recalls
to mind the report that the Baker
girls play in the gym twice a
With a yawn and a stretch until
the next class . . .
Hill Billies Downed
By Indians in Loop
Tilt Here Monday
McMurry's Indians scalped the
Daniel Baker Billies 87-80 in one
of the wildest and roughest games
of the season when the two teams
met Monday night In the Daniel
Baker gymnasium. The game
marked the second conference loss
for the BiU'es this year.
Supporters were kept at a high
point of excitement throughout the
game as the Indians took the lead
from the Billies soon after the
game got under way and main-
tained it until the end of the
match. The Billies showed much
fight and spirit but seemed to
lack the accuracy of the Braves.
Wilhelm and Wohlford made their
first appearance for the local
squad.
Daniel Baker took an early lead
but the Indians soon wiped away
their advantage and continued in
the vanguard throughout the re-
mainder of the game. McCasland
and Wohlford the centers on the
two teams left the game during
the final minutes via the personal
foul route. McCasland the high
point man scored eleven points
during the time that he was in
the fray and Gann and Bratton
amassed ten points each to tie for
second honors.
