Everyone has without doubt heard
numerous “fish stories,” as they are
very common everywhere. Anyone
who is tired of listening to such tales
should read the rest of this one and
he will learn something. This story
is about an ambitious freshman
from Palestine who ran down a jack
rabbit.
As there were no eye witnesses
from whom to extract the necessary
proof as to the authenticity of this
story the reader will have to use his
own judgment in the matter. But
in any criticism of the credibility of
the story it should be remembered
that the hero is a freshman and if
it is difficult to accept all that he re-
lates as true, at least he shou<d be
given a little credit for originality.
Flares Forth in Flivver
It was on a cold, clear, day dur-
ing the Christmas holidays when our
hero and a companion, for no reason
at all, decided to go out in the heat
of the day and travel to the distant
metropolis of Fairfield, which is sit-
uated 35 degress north and 44*4 de-
grees south from the northwest cor-
ner of the starting place in Pales-
tine.
As this city is nearly ten miles
from the hero’s home and as their
only means of conveyance was a de-
lapidated car, food and water suffi-
cient to last them 30 minutes were
placed in the back seat of the car
and they were off to seek fame and
Announcement of the birth of a
daughter to Mr. and Mrs. Woods
Cameron of San Antonio was re-
ceived at the University during the
past week. The young lady was
named Bonnie Evelyn. Cameron
was a student in the University in
1927-28 and during the first semes-
ter of the following session. He is
at present employed by the South-
western Bell Telephone Co., in San
Antonio.
fortune. On the outskirts of Fair-
field a big, man-eating jack rabbit
jumped up in front of their car, and
with the true hunting spirit this
hero decided that he wanted to bring
that poor, innocent rabbit home with
him. The rabbit, however, had other
plans for the afternoon and immed-
iately set about his business, with
our hero in hot pursuit.
Jack Needed Pepper
The rabbit ran down the beauti-
ful boulevard in Fairfield, dodging
around corners in hope of evading
the terrible creature that followed
him. The street, however, led into
a drug store, and the jack at once
decided to go into the drug store,
possibly because it was 4 o’clock and
he had not yet had his Dr. Pepper.
Imagine the rabbit's bewilderment
and embarassment when he found
himself in the store with the fresh-
man right behind him. It is not
known for sure whether it was the
tile, which was very slippery, or
whether it was the unfliching stare
of our hero that made the jack rab-
bit's feet fail to respond to the in-
stinctive urge to go to other places,
but anyway there he was with his
feet slipping out from under him,
and our hero nonchalantly picked
him up and once more set out into
the dangerous lands towards his
home, happy in the thought that he
had at last won fame and fortune on
: a distant shore.
In accordance with the plan of
Father MiacNamara, director of stu-
dent welfare, to have every student
in the Preparatory school particiv
pate in at least one sport, it has
been "decided to organize
team for the Preps,
students not interested in baseball
chance to try out for the track
team, which will be coached by Al
Turner, according to Father
Namara.
Turner plans to put his men
through stiff workouts, which will
consist chiefly of cross country run-
ning, so as to get them in shape for
meets with other high schools in the
spring. No schedule has yet been
arranged and plans will be made as
soon as the progress of the track
squad justifies such a step.
Those who have reported for the
team up to date are: John Finnegan,
Hugh Leonard, Pat Murphy, Ed Fol-
ey, Paul Robertson, Joe Keller, and
Jimmy Condon.

Simmons and Howard Payne of
Texas Conference Invited to
Join Proposed League.
A new conference has been pro-
posed by the Texas Tech officials, to
be called the “Staked Plains confer-
ence.” According to a report in
the Howard Payne Yellow Jacket,
Howard Payne, a member of the
Texas conference, was represented at
a meeting held recently by the pro-
posed conference at Sweetwater.
Captain Shelton was the representa-
tive from Howard Payne.
This conference, should it be form-
ed, probably would contain the fol-
lowing colleges and universities: Tex-
as Tech, West Texas State Teachers
college, Abilene Christian college,
the Texas School of Mines, Simmons
university and possibly Howard
Payne, according to the Yellow Jack-
et.
At the meeting the new conference
was discussed and the different rep-
resentatives told of their opinion of
the proposed conference. With the
exception of Howard Payne, all were
favorable to the new organization.
Simmons, another Texas conference
member, was also represented at the
meeting, and according to the Yellow
Jacket, her delegate left the impres-
sion that she would no doubt enter
the conference if the project devel-
oped.
It has been feared by some that
this conference might have a serious
effect on the Texas conference. Ac-
cording to the Rev. James J. Quin-
lan, C. S. C., who represented St. Ed-
ward’s at the last Texas conference
meeting, however, the new confer-
ence, if formed, will have very little
if any, effect on the Texas confer-
ence. Should either Howard Payne
or Simmons or both decide to drop
out of the Texas conference their
places- could -be filled immediately.
He said that Abilene Christian col-
lege, McMurry college, and Daniel
Baker college are ready to join the
Texas conference at first opportunity
and could be brought in should Ho-
ward Payne and Simmons withdraw.
