Basketball Team Has G
CAPTAIN HICKS HODGES WRIGHT
AND BOYD END CAREERS:
NEW MEN LOOK GOOD '
SEASON ENDS
A number of good basketball
players have been developed by
Coach Chcaney during the 1929
season. Handicapped by Incxpcr-
lance and by a late start the Yo'l.
low Jacket basketeers have work-
ed hard and while making only
a fair record for the season have
developed Into a formidable team.
Four of the Yellow Jackets are
finishing their last season on the
court and will be sorely missed.
All of the others are expected back
next year and with the experience
gained this year should rank high
In the 1930 Texas Conference
race.
The four ctcrans who are fin-
ishing their careers as Yellow
Jackets are Captain Damon Hicks
Midnight Hodges Claude Boyd
and BUI Wright. Hicks as cap-
tion has led the team satisfactori-
ly and has played a good game on
both offense and defense. He Is
p'laylng his fourth year on the
squad having played two years
as a substitute center and forward
and two as a regular forward.
Willis (Hands) Hodges one of
the best guards ever to don n How-
ard Payne uniform is finishing
his fourth year as a regular.
He has played a good consistent
game throughout the four years
and was captain of the '28 quintet.
At his best on defense he is also
good at working the ball up the
court and is a fair goal shooter.
Midnight is a three letter man
having won four letters In football
and one in track. Although be
has played consistently and has
received honorablo mention every
year Hodges has not yet made the
mythical all.conference five.
Claude Boyd is another guard
who Is finishing his last season of
basketball. It is only his third
year on the squad as he was not
In school during the winter of
1928. John Osslc was noted the
best all-around athlete In school
and is Howard Payne's only four
letterman since the graduation of
Joe Bailey Cheaney. Boyd does not
star In basketball as In football
but Is reliable man and will be
missed next year.
Bill Wright has finished his
basketball career and is to be re-
membered as a hard worker and
a tighter. Not a star in basket-
ball as In football he has continu-
ed to come out and do his best.
This is his third season on tbe
quad and he has several times
proved himself a valuable man.
Among the other men all of
whom are expected back next
year there are also somo real
stars and with thebe Coach Chea-
ney should be able to put out a
winning combination. The forward
positions should be well taken
care of with Gilchrist and Marc-
cek each now playing his second
year and Mt-Mouglc. gotl shoot-
ing freshman who lost part of the
present season on account of In-
juries. Marccek and MrDougle
lith ranked among the leading
scorers of the conference.

Track Heroes Grit
Teeth as Showers
of Cold Water Hit
All heroes are not track men
hut all Howard Payne track men
arc certainly heroes these days.
At the time of writing this little
sory the water heater out at the
park Is broken and the track men
have to come In from their work-
outs and dash under nothing but
an ice bath but baths are really
almost necessary in the modern
days of advancement and learn-
ing and so tbcBe heroes just grit
thlr teeth and dive under the ley
showers. What a lite! Let's hope
for the good of the poor track men
that bythe time this story is pub-
lished they will once more be
"abluting" under warm streams
instead of ley spray.
Advanced Course
Offered in Home
Econ. Next Term
An advanced course. Nutrition
and Food Preparation 202 Is be-
ing offered by Miss Pearl Gann
head of the Department of Home
Economics during the spring

two courses now being offered

This is the first time in several
years that Howard Payne College
has had a Department of Home
Economics. Under the able direc-
tion of Miss Gann the department
is achieving much in spite of
limited equipment. Miss Gann
intends to broaden the courses and
accomplish much more next
term.

Slime Waxes Poetical
With oCming of Nice
Spring Weather
"Spring has come!" This fact
has been Indisputably brought to
light by one of our lowly Slimes.
We havo often heard quoted "In
the Spring a young man's fancy
lightly turns to thoughts of love"
and how true de we find it to
be here In Howard Payne. Along
with these fatal thoughts always
comes the impulc to wax poetical.
Here is the result of the impulse
as it tame to one of our budding
young hopctuIs.Note the modern
free verse.

The Howard Payne basketball
team closed their 1929 conference
season with a disastrous road trip
losing to St. Edwards Saturday
nlght36 .29. and to Southwestern
Monday night by a 42.17 count.
These two reverses gave the Jack
ets fifth place in the confeince
race with a final standing of ttree
games won and seven lost.
The Saints won the game Sat-
urday night in Austin by staging
a rally In the last half after the
Jackets had held a 19.16 lead at
the half. The Catholic quintet
outscored the faltering Jackets
20.10 In the last halt to pull the
game from the fire and hold the
long end of a 36-29 score. The
game was fast and well played
from start to finish and the result
would have been very doubtful ex-
cept for tbe uncanny goal shoot-
ing of Jansing giant Saint center.
Janslng went wild to score a total
of 16 points his goals being from
all angles and distances.
In Georgetown Monday night
the Howard Payne cagers with a
changed lineup again caine off
with the short end of the score.
Southwestern winning 12-17. The
Jackets were badly off form and
were no match for Coach Edens'
Pirates. Whittle elongated cen-
ter of the Pirates was high point
man and outstanding star of the
game scoring eighteen points on
six field goals and an equal num-
ber of free tosses. Nick Bails
freshman center topped the Jack
et scorers with seven points. The
Pirates showed their superiority
throughout the game taking a 22-
12 lead In the first half and out-
scoring the Jackets 20-5 in the fl.
nal period.

TRIALS OF COLLEGE REGISTRAR
WOUIJDFURNISH MANY THRILLS
F0RAVERAGEC0LLEGE STUDENT
There are many things that go
on behind tho scenes of a college
that the average student in his
normal routine of going from
class to class to chapel and back
again never sees. The President's
office the Dean's office and the
Registrar's office are scenes of
dally activity into which many
students never enter.
Perhaps the most active scene
on the campus Is the Registrar's
office especially In a college the
size of Howard Payne where the
Registrar is also Secretary to the
Dean Secretary to the Faculty
Secretary of Extension and Re-
corder. One weighted down with
these many titles had a hard (?)
life.
The work of the Registrar be-
gins early in the afternoon when
she enters the office to find her
basket piled full of letters papers
and documents of all kinds to be
answered copied signed and oth.
erwlse mistreated. Just as she
succeeds In becoming wholly en.
