Bragg Scores In
Last Seconds of
Play for Victory
WORLEYHIGH MAN
Game Was Equal at All
Times; Greatest Lead
Not over 3 Points.
Scoring a goal in the last seconds
of play the Jackets won over the
Abilene Christian Wildcats in an ex-
tra period play Monday night on the
home floor. Loften Bragg Jacket
captain made the last goal of the
game on a seemingly impossible try.
The whole game was very close
with one team leading by two or
three points and then the other lead-
ing by about the same margin. The
half ended with the Jackets and Wild
Cats on even turns each having 18
points. At the end of the regular
game the score was still tied at twenty-seven
and. In the extra period
that followed the A. C. C. men scor-
ed first the Jackets scored and the
Cats made a free throw. In the last
seconds the Jacket captain scored
again and placed his team in the run-
ning for conference honors.
Worley Howard Payne was high
point man with ten points. Every
Jacket man played a good game while
Allen of A. C. C. played the best
game for the visitors. The game plac-
ed the Jackets in second place in the
race with Simmons University Cow-
boys leading.
Pi Kappa Delta
Members Have
Part in Meets
Pi Kappa Delta officers announce
that the organization will take part
in several tournaments in the state
and will have a part in the national
meeting unless prevented by some
unforseen object. The schools for the
season's meets will be published next
week if the present plans hold good.
Th Pi Kappa Delta is a national
organization for debaters and it is
indeed fortunate for Howard Payne
that a chapter of it is to be found
here. Students receive much good
from the organization.

Willie Matt Pruett
Student Dies of
Pneumonia
.Willie Matt Pruett 26 student in
Howard Payne and a ministerial stu
dent in that school was stricken with
double pneumonia during the latter
part of the second week in January
and died Friday night January 20th.
P.ruett was a freshman having en-
tered school at the beginning of the
Fall term.
Pruett was a minister and was a
member of the group that live in the
cottage home. He became sick with
a cold which suddenly developed into
pneumonia. He died in the Central
Texas Hospital in this city.
He was buried in Pottsville in Ham-
ilton county last Sunday afternoon
with his classmates Bradley Allison
and E. C. Ray officiating. Below is
found the story of his life as read in
the service:
"Willie Matt Pruett eldest son of
Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Pruett was born
at Pottsville in Hamilton county Aug.
5 1906. He was reared in the com-
munity and finished his high school
education in Hamilton. He was mar-
ried to Eula Allen December 11 1925.
His widow and a small daughter
Joan 5 survive him. He also leaves
his parents three sisters and two
brothers.
"He was converted during a revival
meeting in the Blue Ridge Baptist
Church in August 1931 and also
came to a decision at that time to
enter the ministry. He began preach
ing whenever opportunity was offer-
ed. Taking his wife and child he went
to Brownwood in September 1932
and entered Howard Payne College as
a ministerial student."
The rest of the story is that of his
death. The widow and the parents
of our classmate wish to thank all
students for what they have done in
the sickness and death of their hus-
band and son.
Active pallbearers were selected
from among minister friends in the
school. Those attending the funeral
from Howard Payne were: Frank
Carr Mr. and Mrs. Claude Hart and
daughter Mr. and Mrs. Alvin John-
son Mrs. Marshall and daughter
Chester Moss Clarence E. Bouse
Walter Stoetzel Hugh King Thur-
man Tomlinson Horace Early Mr.
and Mrs. E. C. Ray Dwight Stapp
Roberson Knuckles Marse Perdue
and Leon Henry.
Roy Ramsour desires to have a date
with some girl with whom he can
have some fun for a change all bids
must be made directly to him.

Yes we can hit members of our
own class when they need hitting but
the "K" above was realy not half as
annoying as the sophomore boy who
brought forth her yells.

Several of the Women's Missionary
Unions of the district around Howard
Payne have been very kind in that
they have made substantial gifts to
Howard Payne Hall. Among the
things received in the last few days
were twelv quilts 12 scarfs pairs of
pillow cases and other articles for
the dormitory.
Among all the substantial things re-
ceived there have been many gifts of
food. Several organizations have sent
in canned goods and other edibles.
The students who board in the dor-
mitory are indebted to these organi-
zations for some of the variety of
their food.

H. P. Auxiliary
Plans Annual -Mother-Dad
Day
Howard Payne Auxiliary met in
their usual meeting last Thursday and
plans for several of the more import-
ant events of the year. Plans for the
annual mother and dad day were dis-
cussed and definite arrangements
were made for a portion of the affair.
The Auxiliary will also be enter-
tainers and hostesses for the State-
wide Y. W. A. House Party which is
to be held here soon. The organiza-
tion is perhaps the least talked about
of the organizations of the campus
or not ncessarily the campus but the
school.
The ladies who make up the mem-
bership of the organization are called
by many people "the mothers f all
the best in the school." The group
always help with the Junior Prom
probably the greatest undertaking of
any school year. They have helped
furnish the dormitory with many of
its choicest furnishings. All in all
the Howard Payne Auxiliary is a
very important organization as far
as the school is concerned.
Freshman Sums
Up Problems of
Upperclassmen
You say there are a few cases of
love broken out on the campus mean-
ing new love it is true too that after
the love broke out there was an epi-
demic of severe colds. The nurse says
that colds are spread through close
contact. These new colds are watch-
ed with due interest to see who is the
next victim of this new love fever
a temperature minus disease affect-
ing the heart the head and some-
limes the appetite a rejuctive form
of gastritis. Sometimes too gastritis
is formed by an excessive use of cat-
sup for Instance Smoky Lusk whose
motto is "Catsup with everything
even cake." John Wester has been
accused of being a contarainator by
the way. We think Jo Eads has had
a severe attack of the influenza orig-
inating from a slight cold. Ben Ar-
vln and Catherine Ashcraft might al-
so furnish some valuable information
on this subject.
Carroll Peadon is the devoted sub-
nurse. He feeds his horses corn and
beans and ice cream Oh yeah!
What's all this we hear about these
dumb freshmen ? Well we know we're
pretty dumb but there are at least
a few dumb upperclassmen left around
here.

The Freshman class really are an
appreciative bunch. They are given
the privilege of editing the school pa-
per and the whole class does not turn
enough material in to their editor to
fill one column. The editor not be-
ing used to writing cannot fill the
space as the regular editor of the pa-
per spends all afternoon and half the
night writing material so that the
paper can come out on time. I
With the exception of a few jokes
on the uppers they turn in a few
apologies if they can be termed so
hard a name. These said apologies
appear but it was the fate of an up-(
perclassman or two to write some
material to make this sound like a
freshman edition. We sincerely hope
that the Tinner meets with the anDro-'
val of the class.
