INf ONE^ACT PLAYS
SIX OHB ACT PLAYS BY CONTEM
POKARY AUTHORS STAGED
IK AUDITORIUM
The Mar% and Wig Club of South-
western presented six choice one act
plays in the University auditorium on
Jfridsy evening, February 25. The plays
presented were characteristic of the
times and were .well acted, accurately
and forcefully portraying a Certain
modern American spirit.
The first play of the evening, 'J£np-
preased Desires,'? was excellently por-
trayed. The interpretation of the lines
was characteristic, and the semi-serious
atmosphere was held throughout. Cast
of characters: Henrietta Brewster—
Laura Courtney; Stephen Brewster—
Emory Horger; Mable—Hazel Oatman.
Special mention is*to be made of
"The Wise Man" aa interpreted by
Lester Lueehaner, and of the "Fool"
as presented by Loraine Marshall, in
the second play of the evening^ "The
Hour Glass." Every character was tru-
ly portrayed and the costuming and
stage setting were effective. Mr. Lue-
ehaner showed talent in the Interpreta-
tion and delivery of his lines. Cast of
characters: The Wise Man—Lester
- Lueehaner; Fool—Loraine Marshall;
Pupils—Edwin Calhoun, Aubrey Graves,
Philip Dunklin, Dwight Sharpe; an An-
gel—Gladys HufStutler; the Wise Man's
wife—Lily Moore Haden; the children
—Margaret Vict^ey, Virginia Banner,
Mary M. Goeppinger, Berenice Arnold.
Jack Oldam showed talent in his in-
terpretation of the lines in "The Rising
of the Moon." The east of characters
The chief—Jack Bain; two of the force
"—Anbrey -Graves, Dwight Sharpe;'the
robber—Jack Oldam.
Boberta McElroy was indeed the star
in M Rosalind.'Clever costuming, to-
gether with a talented interpretation of
lines made this one of the most delight-
ful plays of the evening. The "Mis-
tress" was true to type and was truly
portrayed. Cast of characters: Rosa-
lind—Boberta MeElroy; Harry—Dwight
Sharpe; the Mistress—Beryl Knicker-
bocker.
The charming little symphony play,
"Lima Beans," was presented by
Gladys and Berenice Hufstu£ler with
credit' to themselves. Here again the
elever costume gave an added charm.
The light, airy movement of the two,
and the tender, forcefnJnflss of the in-
terpretation gave a light atmosphere.
Doyle Farrington as "Hnskster" was
humorous almost to the point «f gro-
tesqucness.
> The last of the plays of the evening
was "The Twelve Pound Look."- The
play presented the superficiality of so
much of our modern life and all the
characters were well portrayed: Cast
of characters: Lord Sims—Harold Eg-
ger; Lady Sims—Laura Courtney; the
Stenographer—Grace King; the butler
-—Doyle Farrington.
All of the plays showed consistent
work and competent direction and were
indeed a credit to the coach, Professor
W. D. Went*

Mr. W. P. Davidson, head of the de-
partment of philosophy, has been work-
ing on plans for a psychologicol labor-
atory for Southwestern, As a part of
this plan, a most promising concert by
Mathilda Beuter of Austin, one of Tex-
as' accomplished lyric sopranos, has
been arranged for Tuesday, March 8, at

Mis. Beuter studied for several years
in New York under Herbert Wither-

Belleza, coach of Caruso. She has for
some years made her home in Austin
where she has a studio, and has inaugu-
rated a series of weekly musicals which
are very popular in the capital city.
While studying in New York she ap-
peared on numerous programs and was
eminently successful. One- of the best
was a program given in the auditorium
under the auspices of the New York
Globe, all the numbers of which were
compositions of Kathleen Blair Clarke,
another Texas artist. Mrs. Beuter was
assisted in this program by Dan Beddoe,
one of America's leading lyric tenors.
All the critics of Mrs. Beuter's sing-
ing agree that she has a most charming
personality, excellent diction, and a
voice of-unusual sweetness, wide range
and even register.
The price of admission is fifty cents;
reserved seats, seventy-five cents. The
proceeds of this concert will go to, the
fund for a psychological laboratory. All

Baseball practice is progressing rapid-
ly. The crack of the willow and the re-
sounding of popping leather can be
heard on Snyder Field every afternoon.
Joy was put into the heart of every
player, student and fan when Mike
Flanagan was secured to coach the
team. His first workout convinced the
new players that he knew what he was
alfont, and all of the did players slready
knew it.
The championship team which carried
off the T. L A. A. honors whieh he de-
veloped two seasons ago still lingers in
memory and there is a wealth of ma-
terial out this year. A better baseball
coach for Southwestern can not be
found anywhere and a championship
team will snrely he developed.

A short but intensive revival cam-
paign is now on, having started wijth
the Sunday evening Bervice.
Edwin R. Barcus, who is doing the
preaching, is an alumnus of Southwes-
tern University and is one of the fore-
most Methodist preachers of Texas, at
present being in charge of the' Tenth
3treet Methodist Church of Austin.
Tho services are to go forward for
the whole week at the rate of two ser-
vices per day, at 11 o'cloek in the morn-
ing and 7:15 in the evening. Botfh of
these services will be held at the church
so that they may reach both the town
people and the students.
In order that the students may at-
tend the morning service, the cl&s peri-
ods have been shortened to 45 minutes
and will run from 8 o'clock straight
through until II, thus eliminating the
chapel period. ' . •
The matter of going to services will
be a wholly voluntary' One ,but every-
one will be expected to take advantage
of tho shortened periods and attend the
services at least as a moral obligation
if for no other reason.
Although scarcely anything was
known of the meeting until a few days
ago, much preparatory work has been
done since that time. Dr. Bishop held
conferences Friday afternoon with the
Y. M. ,C. A. and Y. W. C. A. cabinets
and with a group of representative
Christian workerfe, at which plans and
conditions were discussed.
Plans have been made for the holding
of group prayer meetings on the differ-
ent halls of the dormitories, and com-
mittees have been appointed to work
the different floors of the Administra-
tion Building, the 8cience Building, and
the dormitories in order to get the stu-
dents out for the services.
Much enthusiasm has been expressed
by the student leaders and members of
the faculty sorthat by the co-operation
of the town people with the stndents
and faeulty a very successful revival
will be the outcome.
FOSTER ELECTED
BASKETBALL CAPTAIN
Three-Letter Man to Head Quintet-
Seven Ring Artists Recommended
For Basketball "8"
W. J. Foster was elected to captain
next year's basketball team Monday
morning at the meeting of the players.
Foster played on last year's squad and
showqd np still much better this season.
He kept in training during the whole
season and in every game played a hard
and consistent game as guard. ' Foster
is a three-letter man and a good athlete.
With such a man as captain, Southwes-
tern has bright prospects for next year.
Seven men have been recommended
by Coach Honaker for lettejp and their
pictures were taken Monday morning.
Mrs. H. W. G. Fletcher and her chil-
dren, "Bo," Jo, Dorothy, and Mary

BASKETBALL SEASON
SUCCESSFULLY CLOSED
PIRATES SCORE 371 POINTS TO OP-
PONENTS' 344—WORK OF HER-
v RERA AND LAMB FEATURES
Another successful basketball season
was brought to a close last Saturday
night by the Pirate quintet who scored
371 points to their opponents 344.
Of these 371 points Captain Herrera
scored 230, in spite of the fact that ev-
ery team put a special guard upon him
and that he had to play a hard defen-
sive game. His playing was at all times
above par and he was the shining light
when everything else looked gloomy {or
the Pirates. He certainly deserves a
place aa forward on the all-State team.
Lamb is another all-State player. His
guarding can not be excelled and his
dribbling down the field and shooting
goals was sensational.
Heyne, the Pirate censer, although
not very tall, could jump with all com-
ers, and it was a rare occasion when
any center got the jump on him. His
goal shooting was also up to par.
Foster, at guard, played hard every
minute of play. He kept training and
was equal to all of the hard knocks he
so often received. At times he drove
the stands wild with difficult long shots.
Holloway, at forward, was the fifth
link in the team. His mainstay was
breaking up the opponents' plays and
he showed up especially well in the last
three games played.
Pearson usually played his three min-
utes in each game and he played hard
while in action, both as guard and for-
ward. He played unusnally well for his
first year.
Stafford and Steinle, commonly known
as the third team, also stuck to the close
of the season. They played the bench
well most of the time and were ever
in readiness to get into the game.
The team missed Ostergard, last sea-
son's sensation. Due to chronic dislo-
cation of his left shoulder, he was un-
able to play in many games, as his
shoulder was thrown out of place in ev-
ery game in which he played. He is to
be commended for his coming out at all.
Team work was lacking during the
first games of the season, but much im-
provement was exhibited in the last few
games. The unceasing efforts of Cosch
Honaker to develop a perfect team were
rewarded and his work as coach is to be
commended, both for its efficiency and
pleasantness.
Having defeated both S. M. U. and
Baylor on her home court and all other
things being taken into consideration,
the Pirates enjoyed a successful and
promising Beason. A hard schedule was
played and the Pirates contested equal-
ly with the best teams in the State.

week.

LIFE SERVICE MONTH
AT UNIVERSITY ENDS
Such Scholarly Speakers as Bishop, Bar
cus, Cody, Howard, Godbey, Granbery
and Cornyn Address the Students
February, the life service month in
Southern Methodism, has brought some
rare treats to the students of Southwes-
tern University in the form of inspir-
ing talks. The talks of Dr. John M.
Barcus and Dr. C. M. Bishop have been
mentioned in a previous edition. Dr.
C. iCL Cody also spoke from his deep ex-
perience along this line. Professor
Claud Howard spoke last Thursdav on
the spiritual side of the life of a teach-
er; Professor J. C. Godbey spoke Fridsy
ou business aa life service, and Dr. J.
C. Grknbery spoke Saturday on social
service as a service. Professor J. H.
Cornyn spoke at the regular church ser-
vice Sunday morning on "The Stranger
Within Our Gates," with soeeial refer-
( uco being given to the Mexicans in
Texas, and discussed his subject from
the standpoint of life service.
All of these inspiring talks presenting
the idea of Life Service in its various
aspects have tended to give the students
a new visioh of life and of shaping their
lives to fit into the plan of universal
servfe*
THREE MORE VICTORIES
END BASKETBALL SEASON
AUSTIN COLLEGE AND BAYLOB
SUCCUMB TO PIRATE RING
ARTISTS IN CLOSE GAMES
S. U. 35-27; A. C. 23-24
The Austin College Kangaroos fell
victims to the Southwestern Pirates by
the score of 35 to 23 in a fast game of
basketball last Wednesday night at
Godbey Gymnasium. The score at the
eud of the first half was 19 too 11 in fa-
vor of the Pirates. They took the lead
at the very first and uever lost it. Twice
Heyne took the ball away from an op-
posing player and shot goal With the
rest of the team at the other end of the
field. The second half was very similar
to the first. The Pirates were far in the
lead and three substitutes were put into
the game by Coach Honaker. The final
score was 35 for the Pirates and 23 for
the Kangaroos.
For the Pirates Herrera scored 13
points, Holloway 10, Heyne 8 and Lamb
4.
The second game, Thursday night, was
slower than the first and neither side
was very proficient at the art of throw-
ing tho ball through the designated
hoops. In fact, ring artists were sadly
missing. '
The Pirates were in the lead through-
out the entire game, although their lead
was seriously threatened, especially dur-
ing the last few minutes of play. How-
ever, the final whistle found the score
standing, Pirates 27, Kangaroos 24,
making it two straight victories for the
Pirates.
In the second game, for the Pirates
Herrera scored 11 points, Heyne 6, Hol-
loway 4, Foster 4 and Lamb 2. Line-up:

S. U. 23; BAYLOB 21
In the last and probably most excit-
ing game of the season, the season was
brought to a fitting end when the Pi-
rates defeated the Baylor Bear quintet
last Saturday night on the Southwes-
tern court. On the Bears' line-up ap-
peared a Wolf and Lyons, but the Pi-
rates were loaded for big game and
brought back the goods.
The game was early seen to be a real
contest. Baylor had four points gained
from four free goals and Southwestern
had two. Lamb tied the score with one
of his sensational plays. After this,
the Pirates did not again lose the lead
and with only three seconds of the first
half left to play and with the score
standing 17 to 11, the Baylor coach
rushed out on the floor and called his
men off the field, apparently on account
