Payne Yellow Jacket
HOWARD PAYNE
EASY WINNER
OVER BOBCATS
Coach J. Horace Shelton and his
track squad returned home Friday
night with a flock of Bobcat skins
dangling from their collective belts
these being the spoils of the Yellow
Jackets' victory in a dual track meet
Friday afternoon from the Southwest
Texas State Teachers College in San
Marcos with a score of 75 1-8 to 44
2-3.
To win the Jackets annexed eight
first places losing first honors in only
the shot put pole vault javelin 880
two miles and relay. First place in
the high jump was divided between
two Howard Payne and one Bobcat
athlete at a height of 5 feet 8 inches.
Coach Shelton stated Saturday
morning that no fast times were
made due to a brisk wind that swept
the track but he was well pleased
with the showing made by his young'
sters. Hoot Masur topped the Jack-
ets with 11 points scored on one first
and two seconds. However two first
year men Underwood and Wheeler
were close on Masur's heels with ten
points each registered on two first
placs. Underwood won both hurdle
events while Wheeler cooped the 220
and 440 events.

Down from Hanover New Hamp
shire home oft he Dartsmouth Indi-
ans comes word of another game to
be played with the new Camels.
According tot the Jack-o-Lantern
Dartmouth comic magazine the old
stock tricks and "Things To Do" with
a package of Camels are giving way
to this new game. Most everyone has
been asked to find the man in the pic-
ture or locate the lion's body on the
Camel (it is not very clear but can
be made out if one recognizes that
the Camel's tall is also the ion's tail.)
Then too counting the number of e's
on the back of the package and choos-
ing the coin that will just cover the
word "cigarettes" are other standard
Camel parlor tricks.
Here is the new one conceived with
the advent of the cellophane wrapper.
Place a wager with any of oyur
friends that you can stand with your
full weight on a package of Camels
and not break it. You will win and
your cigarettes will not be damaged.
The obvious secret is that the pack-
age is airtight. Experiment with this
trick before putting up your month's
allowance and you will see that it
works every time.
Student drivers the country over are
tuning up their little outboard speed
boats for the annual Gold Cup Inter-
collegiate Regattas sponsored by
College Humor Magazine. These races
were inaugurated last year when 7
different meets were held in all sec-
tions of the United States. Thirty-
two of our leading universities were
represented.
This spring the smaller regattas
have been eliminated in lieu of three
large sectional events. College out-
board enthusiasts from the eastern
schools will compete at Lake Skane-
ateles in northern New York. Pacific
Coast events will be staged at Los
Angeles. A definite location for the
Mid-West regatta has not yet been
named but it is likely these races
will be held on Lake Mendota Madi-
son Wisconsin or on one of the many
small lakes In northern Illnois.
College Humor gold trophies will be
awarded first place winners in the
various divisions and clases. Special
sliver and bronze medals have been
secured for drivers finishing second
and third in the different events.
KNEW WHERE TO LOOK
The deceased furnace installer
knocked at the gates of Hell and de
manded admitatnce. "What do you
want here?" asked aStan. "I want to
collect from several of my customers
who died before I did" was his re
sponse. "How do you know that
they're here?" asked Satan. "Well
they told me to come here every time
I tried to collect."
Winners of Tennis
Matches Announced
Tennis this year was one of the most
interesting events in the district thlr
teen Interscholastic League meet and
large crowds were present to see the
matches during the two days. Boys
singles and doubles were played at
Howard Payne courts and teh girls
matches were played at the high
school courts.
Adams of Richland Springs won the
boys singles defeating Latham of Ma
son 6-0 6-1 6-3. Adams is a good
man and played a good game against
Latham of Mason who was doped to
win. Latham is a promising young
tennis star seen here for the first time
this year. He is a student of Mason
school and is thirteen years old and
small to his age at that. Tennis fans
are expecting him to be much better
next year at the meet than this year.
Dubois and Glpson of Santa Anna
won the boys' tennis doubles by de
feating Richland Springs 7-5 5-7
8-6 6-8 7-5.
In girls doubles Gustine defeated

SPRING
The sap has risen in the trees
Gentle breezes begin to tease
On trees and shrubs begin to burst
Teh leaves and blooms that open first
Flowers begin to show their heads
Pushing covers from winter beds.
The birds are chirping up above
Singing to mates the song of love.
Wand'ring idly down the street
In eyes on lips expressions sweet
Lads and lasses drifting along
Merrily singing a love song.
There goes up your spine a tingling.
With other sensations mingling;
Until aloft your arms you fling
And shout to all the world
"'Tis Spring!"
Mary Cornelia Roberts.
Mile Relay Is
Won by Santa
Anna High Mon.
Santa Anna won the one mile relay
of the distrct track meet yesterday
(Monday) evening at Howard Payne
park. This race was not run Satur-
day because rain had made the track
too muddy for running.
Coleman was a close second in this
race the anchor men being the two
crack 880 men of Coleman and Santa
Anna the latter having a lead of
about 5 yards when th elast lap start-
ed but Gober of Coleman caught up
with his rival and then lost the race
by a slight margin.
Hamilton placed third in this race
and Brownwood High was fourth.
This gave Santa Anna a total of 24
points in the meet Coleman a total
of 12 points Hamilton 9 1-2 and
Brownwood High school 10 points.
The time of the relay was 3
3.41 a little slow on account of a stiff
wind that sprang up just about fif-
teen minutes before the race started.
HEAVENLY RELIEF

ens?" Sam: "No sah."
Judge: "No geese?"
Sam: "No sah?"
Judge: "Any turkeys?"
Sam: "No sah."
Judge: "Discharged."

mv fineer. that means come."
"Suits me" replied the new em
ployee. "I'm a man ot etw woras ray-
self. And if I shake my head that
means I ain't coming."
ELECTR0SC0I
USED TO
LOST RAI
What is sure to be one o:
unusual incidents to occ
Brownwood in several yea:
Friday when $4500 worth
was lost at the Central Ti
tal which sent all the scle:
of the city on a search "fi
in a haystack."
According to Dr. Jewel
of the hospital the lump o.
ing metal was misplaced am
aid of an electroscope it wa
cred at the city dumping gri
about 12:30 by Dr. O. E. Win
The electroscope from
Payne College was used firs
was to no avail and immediately D:
J. M. Kuchne of the University of
Texas was sent for who came to
Brownwood with another electroscope.
The search Immediately started and
lasted all Friday morning. At about
noon the trail was getting "warm"
but Dr. Kuchne left the party to get
something to eat and while he was
gone "the lost was found" in the city
dump heap where it had been burned
but it was still emitting its wonderful
rays. O. E. Winebrenner in company
with Dr. C. W. Drake found the radi
um at about 12:30.
It had been traced to the work
porch on to a waste basket from
where it had been dumped into a trash
can. It was then loaded into the city
garbage wagon and hauled to the city
dumping grounds. When found the
"prodigal" was much blackened and
tarnished but according to the offl
cials at the hospital it was not harm-
ed although it will have to be sent
off and polished.
Jackets May
Meet Pirates
In Duel Meet
If present plans work out as ex
pected Southwestern will come to
Brownwood this week-end for a duel
meet wtih Howard Payne according
to "Cap" Shelton track coach at the
local school. In an interview with
Cap he is quoted as saying that nego-
tiations with Southwestern coaches
last week-end where both schools
were in a six-pointed meet at Austin
were made but definite information
as yet has not been received here.
Southwestern showed unusual
strength in the meet last week espe-
cially with Bledsoe the new dash
sensation and also Smith in the field
events. Bledsoe is a Junior but this
Is his first year in track. He stepped
the century and furlong second to
Snodgrass Daniel Baker ace and
both races were turned off in the fair
time of 9.8 and 21.8.
Smith proves to be a new threat
for Uncle Joe of Simmons in the shot
put having heaved the shot over for
ty-two feet In several duel meets this
year which is better than Uncle Joe
ha3 been doing.
The Jackets hope to counteract this
unusual strength of Southwestern in
other events. Underwood a freshman
find of no small ability is expected
along with Ted Edwards to carry off
the two hurdle events. Wheeler an-
other aspiring freshman proves to be
a new find in the 880 having run this
race Monday afternoon at regular
work-out in the fair time of 2.1. He
is a regular 440 and 220 man but
may run the 880 also.
Clonlnger is working hard striving
to avenge his past unexpected de
feats in the pole vault and is also
working at the discus and latest re-
ports state that he threw the latter
a mere 121 feet Tuesday.
Cap is especially wanting to sched
ule the meet in order to find out more
definitely Southwestern's strength and
thus give him more dope on Howard
Payne s chances in the conference
meet which are very slim at this
time.
Southwestern is also reported to
have a fair relay team as usual be
ing barely nosed out last week by
Daniel Baker and they ran this race
at no slouch gait.
Summing all these facts into con
sideration the meet if held should
be extremely interesting to the fans
of both schools. It will offer a:
cellent chance for the two t
estimate their respective chai
the coming conference meet
held at Brownwood about the
of May.

A feature of the meet was the spe
cial race between the relay team the
University of Texas will send to the
Drake relays and a team picked from
the sprint stars of the other schools.
Texas won without being extended
the mixed team finishing second and
St. Edwards third.
Howard Payne without the stellar
services of the invincible McCarver
finished third in the meet close be
hind Daniel Baker. Fisher won the
lone first place for the Jackets by
clearing 6 feet in the high jump. With
McCarver's usual 20 points the Jack'
ets would have given Texas a race
for first place.
