REVIVAL MEETING
STILL IN PROGRESS
LABGE NUMBER RESPOND® TO
FIBS* CALL—SERVICES CON

YOUNG PEOPLE'S MEET-
ING PROVES SUCCESS
>

Interest is being shown in the revival
now in progress at the Methodist
church to the extent that it will be con-
tinned another week.
Last Sunday marked the close of the
second week of the campaign which has
been devoted principally to preaching
straight down gospel in an endeavor to
get the church right before giving an
invitation to the sinner.
Rev. Albert C. Fiaher, who is con-
ducting the revival, preached two very
able sermons Sunday to audiences which
filled the ehnreh even to standing room.
Mr, Fiaher has a fearless manner of
denouncing sin, for in his address Sun-
day morning he laid bare the sins that
exist in Georgetown and its vicinity.
At the close of this service he made a
special appeal to those in the ehnreh
who had not been living right and want-
ed to get in closer touch with Christ to
comb up for prayer. Some fifty or more
people responded, including both old
and young. This proved to be a very
powerful step in the meeting, as it in-
creased the zeal in the working forces
of the ehnreh.
The activities of the revival have
spread over quite a number of phases
of religions work. Mr. Cheek has or-
ganized a wonderful junior choir and is
getting the regular choir in good order.
The young people's meetings have
been increasing in number and interest,
due to the organizing ability and sin-
cerity of Mrs. Fisher.
Speeial prayer meetings are being
held by the older people^at 6:45. In the
dormitories nightly prayer meetings are
held with a good attendance. . .
Through this week services will be
held in the evening at 7:15 and in the
morning at 10, excepting Saturday.
BK TIME CARNIVAL
COMING NOV. 21
STUNT NIGHT AMD MANY CURIOS
WILL BE SEEN ATY.M. AND
• Y. W. C. A CARNIVAL
There's a big time coming on Nov. 21.
The auditorium and campus Will witness
the best show that has been pulled off
in years. Georgetown will be present.
YouH pee a first-class vaudeville, a
marvelous collection of curios, an un-
usual menagerie, one of the most re-
markable feats of medical science ever
demonstrated, a clever Hindu clairvoy-
ant, and the mysteries of The Great Be-
yond; f
Every conceivable contrivance will be
employed to make the evening one of
perpetual thrills. This event will go
down in the annals of Southwestern his-
tory as the greatest good time ever had,
-and the talent displayed will fill the
eyes and ears of the onlookers with such
startling feats of mind and body that
the occasion will be remtomoerea ior-
AB this wonderful carnival will be
put on under the direction of thci Y. M.
and Y. W. C. A as one of the main stnnt
nights and get-together occasions of the
year. Start making your plans tp at-
tend, for all the University and town
people are eoming.
Under the leadership of Mrs. Albert
C. Fisher a special meeting for the
young people of Georgetown is held ev-
ery evening at 6:20 in the 8wedish
Methodist Church.
The meetings have been growing in
attendance ana interest from the time
they were organized until at the meet-
ing Sunday evening there were about
150 people out.
In making an appeal to the human in-
stinct of rivalry, the group is divided
into two sides—the Greens and the
Gold*. At the head of each side is a
captain and four assistants, whose duty
it is to see that every member who
bears their particular color is working
for new members and is getting them
there on time.
There are five general rules by which
the contest is governed, the most im-
portant of whieh are the securing of
new members, the wearing of the col-
ors of the side to which the person be-
longs, being on time, and attending the
preaching service at the chureh. Points
are given for new members and the best
observation of these rules, and it will
be on this basis that the winning side
is determined.
The purpose of the young people's
meetings is to get them in active Chris
tiaa service regardless of denomination.
The contest is jnst now getting well un-
der way and the leaders are predicting
that the house will be filled at each
meeting before the end of the week.

ATHLETIC BLANKETS
ARE GIVEN TO PIRATES
Southwestern's Pirates were the proud
possessors of eighteen new athletie
blankets when they c&me on the field
for the Cotton Palace game Saturday.
The new blankets are second to none
in the State, either in material or beau-
ty, for they are the finest grade of wool-
en blankets in black and canary yellow.
The main blanket is black with a border
of canary yellow. Across the top of
the blanket the word Southwestern is
inscribed in large black letters and in
the center of the blanket is the official
pirate head and dagger.

BANNER-DECKED TRAIN CARRIES
SOME 150 BOOSTERS TO COT-
TON PALACE
Hallowe'en night proved a turbulent
one in Georgetown, for besides many
minor •disorders, the firm of Higden-
MeElroy Company was robbed of more
than a thousand dollars worth of dry
goods, including ladieif coats, suits,
silks, shoes and hose. The entrance was
gained through a rear window and as
yet the culprits have nor been appre-
hended. .. !
Another disaster to the city was the
fire which destroyed Harwell's Confec-
tionery and the Palace Barber Shop.
The fire of unknown origin started in
the rear of Harwell's plaee and com-
pletely destroyed the interior of the
building and its contents. The barber
shop was damaged only by water and
s^Hoke from the burning coniectionery.
Other disorders were held to a min-
imum place by the efficient work of
City Marshal Brady and other officers.
The work of Constable Purl is especially
worthy of note, as he arrested three
men for destroying the play apparatus
at the Grammar School building.
In looking over the city many piles
of rubbish could be seen piled in peo-
ple's yards by the night prowlers.
An old automobile was pushed from
the McElroy residence, near Mood Hall,
to the High School building and placed
before the main entrance. Many pranks
of a minor nature were played.

In a game in which neither side could

result of long runs from Pirate fumbles.
The first touchdown came at the end
of five minutes of play. With the ball
The fund from which the blankets on Southwestern'^ 45-yard line tjhe Pi-
were purchased was started last spring
by Arnold H. Krichamer, a Southwest-
erner from Houston. He conducted
several stunt nights in the University
auditorium and turned over the receipts
to Prof. B. W. Tinsley for the blanket
fund. The amount raised by Mr. Krich-
amer was supplemented by small dona-
tions from a number of loyal Southwest-
ern supporters and alumni. „
The blankets were first shown at the
pep meeting Friday morning when eight-
een of the co-eds wrapped in blank and
canary marched to the stage amid the
approving roar of 400 students.
The Pirates wore the blankets for the
first time at the Bavlor-Sonthwestern
game Saturday, and will have a chance
to give them much service before the
year is over.

few days
- Southwestern University and George-
town were in high spirits Saturday
morning when the special train arrived
to earry the "boosters" and "rooters" to
the Cotton Palace. The train was decked
with banners advertising Georgetown,
Southwestern University, and the Wil-
liamson County Fait.
The spirit of excitement started
among the stndents early in the week
and grew more intense until they had
a chance of expression at the pep meet-
ing Friday morning. It was at that
time that the blankets were presented
and many new songs and yells attempt-
ed.
The people of Georgetown also had
been showing some interest as they were
endeavoring to make as good a showing
as possible on Georgetown Day at the
exposition. Mr. Sherrill, who had
charge of the reservations for the town
people, continued to get new ones sign-
ing up until the train was ready to
start.
All was excitement and eonfusion
when the train started pulling away
from the University Avenue crossing
amid the cheers of all those who could
not make the trip.
On the way up the train stopped at
Granger and Temple, picking up a num-
ber of students who had gene home the
afternoon before, and loyal Southwest
erners fro mthe alumni and ex-students
bunch.
A fine spirit of optimism -was shown
by aD for the success of the day. The
train arrived in Waco about 11 o'clock
and all were off to see Waco and the
Cotton Palace.

Mary Lois- Henson delightfully enter-
tained a number of her friends at Jier

The nearby play ground was explored

On returning to her home, refresh-
ments consisting of sandwiches, olives,
eakes, fruit, candies, and nuts were
served.

San Jacs filled their Hall Monday

program. Since the president was out
of town, Foy Thomas, vice president,
presided over the meeting.
Miss Louise Wright started the pro-
gram with her solo entitled "A Winter's
Lullaby." Miss Wright is an accom-
plished singer and her solo was enjoyea.

FISH FLAG HAS SHORT LIFE
"Alt upperclassmen to front of Uni-
versity" was the cry that was heard
in Mood Hall just after eleven o'clock
last night. Whereupon the ever-ready
upperclassmen rushed to the front of the
Administration Building where they
caught the Frosh in the very act of
raising their emblem on the sacred flag-
pole.
Immediately the row began but as the
Sophs easily untnnmbered the Frosh it
was but a matter of a tew minutes until
all the Fish were on the ground with
Sophs sitting on them. It was then
but n matter of time until the Frosh
flag was down and a Soph flag took its
plaee. Thus the first flag-raising at-
tempt of' the Class of *25 came to naught.
But behold f morning dawned the boys
of Mood Hall were able to look out
upon a green world as the Fish had spent
a sleepless night in painting things green.
On the walls of Mood Hall, on the walks
and everywhere could be seen the green
'25. And to the great surprise of the
Sophs their flag no longer floated in
triumph but instead another Fish-flag*.

is not the glories of the past, but that
it is the standing of the society today.
link0"! up with the possibilities of the
future. He showed that the society is
a combination of unit-individuals, that
the efficiency of the group is dependent
upon the number of units which are do-
ing their full duty. We may expect, he
said, a greater and a richer service in
after life from those who- have had the
advantages of a training in a literary
society while in college. He predicted
that, for all San Jacs, the name "San
Jacinto" will shine ont conspicuously
on the walls of the individual's "Hall
of Fame" as constructed in the memor-
ies of each individual.
The debate on the subject, "Resolved,
That the Ku Klux Klan is beneficial to
the United States," occupied the re-
mainder of the program.
Henry D. Akin, as first speaker for
the affirmative, gave a brief history of
the Klan and stated that it was re-or-
ganized on the framework of the Klan
Of Civil War times by Wizard Simmons
in 1915. Simmons was formerly a Meth-
odist divine and college professor, he
stated. He argued that since the Klan
was needed after the Civil War, that its
necessity was created by the present
war. He carried the analogy further by
stating that, just as the Klan had dis-
banded when its duties had been com-
pleted at that time, it would now eease
to be as soon as the need for such an
tnumpn out mmq organization ceased to exist. He stated

of freshman life too great) so die went
home Friday for a respite from Annex

violence had been committed in its

even erueified in the name of religion.

rate backfield fumbled and Tanner
scooped up the ball and raced through
a clear field to the goal. Weathers
missed the goal.
Again near the last of the first quar-
ter Baylor again scored on luck. The
ball was on Baylor's 40-yard line and
in the possession of Southwestern. The
Pirates again fumbled and this time
Pittman ran 60 yards to the goal thru
a clear field.
The second quarter was practically
even with neither side able to gain any
large amount of territory. There were '
a large number of punts in this quarter.
The third quarter was totally South-
western's, but the eleven lacked the
punch that would have put over a touch-
down. In this quarter the Pirates made
six first downs to Baylor's three.
In the last period the Bruins kicked
to Campbell who was downed on his
own 30-yard line. Being unable to ad-
vance, Southwestern attempted the pant
but the Bears blocked Crump's kick.
From this point Bradshaw booted the
ball between the goal posts for the final
counter of the game.
The game was an up-hill pull for the
Pirates from start to finish, as they
were slightly outweighed by the Waco
aggregation and had the breaks of the
game against them. However, it re-
quired the best in the Baylor team to
keep the Georgetowners with their "nev-
er-say-die" spirit from scoring.
For Southwestern, McMurray, Morse
and Crump starred. McMurray, at his
end, was able to smother the Baylor end
run effectually. Southwestern depend-
ed on Morse and Crump to lo most of
the advancing of the ball. Buddie Fos-
ter played a good game. The kicking
of Howze was a feature. He easily out-
punted the Baylor punter and in several
instances kicked the ball far over the
safety man.

played their usual good game. The line-
