S.U. CLUB ENTERTAINS
VISITORS TO HOUSTON
PRACTICALLY EVERY GRADUAT-
ING CLASS IN HISTORY OF
& U. REPRESENTED -
More than 100 former Southwestern
students attended the banquet given by
the Houston Southwestern Club to vis-
iting Sou'westerners attending the State
Teachers' Convention, at the Bender
Hotel on Friday, December 1, at 6:30
p. m.
Practically every graduating class in
the history of the grand old institution
of Methodism was represented at the
gathering by one or more former stu-
dents, each claiming that his class was
the greatest ever graduated.
Judge R. E. Brooks acted as toast-
master and his witty allusions and
stinging criticisms kept the assemblage
in a constant state of mirth. Judge
Brooks gave the address of welcome to
the visiting alumnae, and pointed out
the debt that every single individual
owes to the old school.
Various speakers for the program
were chosen to represent graduating
classes within a certain decade, each
speaker having graduated during the
ten years assigned him to speak abont.
Fortunate in many ways was the meet-
ing in having a bona'fide graduate of
the class of '75 to address them. J. W.
Blake told of the various pranks of the
boys back in those never to ben forgot-
ten days when "Mother Dear" was in-
deed a young matron. He told that the
sehool was four . by preachers,preach-
ers taught the students, and the five

EARLY IN FIRST PERIOD
(By Slime Moreland.)
Farmer Jones' fighting San Jacs pulled

. Hon. Frank Andrews, one of the most
successful barristers in the entire South,
spoke for the class of '85.. Mr. Andrews
claimed to W in one of the most extra-
ordinary classes that ever attended
Southwestern University. He main-
tained that the class of '85 contained
some of the greatest bluffers known;
and further maintained that he should
have been named "The King Bluffer."

DR. SOUTHWICK SCORES ANOTHER
SUCCESS IN B.U.—FAIRLY LARGE
CROWD OUT TO HEAR
Henry Lawrence Southwick, president
of Emerson College of Oratory, Boston,
read ESheridkn's comedy, "The Rivals,"
before a very appreciative audience last
Tuesday evening in the University audi-
torium. Dr. Sonthwick's stage appear-
ance was very pleasing^ with his snow-
white hair and distinguished bearing.
As an introduction to his audience of
the comedy, "The Rivals", Dr. South-
wick remarked that since the time of
Shakespeare, there have been compara-
tively few plays that have withstood
the test of critics and time, and that
this work of Sheridan's could be count-
ed in this list.
The manner in which this man of
broad culture differentiated his charac-
ters and strived successfully to give
each distinct qualities was very inter-
esting. But, while accomplishing this,
he did not in any way lessen th atten-
tion to the thread of the story of the
very intricate plot. Throughout the
evening Dr. Southwick was very success-
ful in bringing out the comic elements
for which Sheridan's "The Rivals" is
urfted.
Dr. Southwick is.au orator and elocu-
tionist of the did sehool of speech which
is being fast displaced by the new school
in America. However, this new school
is embodying many of the admirable
qualities of the old school With modern
interpretation of their ideals. It is for
this reason that Sonthwick's work is so
much appreciated and Southwestern is
.glad to have this gran4 old man in her
midst and feels tfcat he in no wise les-
sened the respect and admiration that
he created for himsslf on the other oc-
that he has appeared on South-
western's platform. *
prfaeltorat ' ie goal from th* 15-yard line. The
punting of Bragg and Bowen were fea-
tures of the game.
The game was stubbornly fought from
start to finish, although the San Jaes
were greatly outweighed. The back

each team made several good gains. The

Dear Mr. Cow-Boy:
I have seen cow-boys iu the movies,
and have read abont them, but 1 have
never seen a real, live oue, so I thought
you might be willing to tell me about
them. Are they truly desperate? Do
they shoot each other all the time? And
are they "cave men"? Oh, thrills!
•'Cave-men!" I've heard that they are
woman haters, but, please, Mr. Cow-Boyr
don't tell me that is so, for if it is,
there's a little girl in Texas who will be
heart-broken. Do they really wear spurs
and six-quart hatsf /And do they ''squint
their ernel blue eyes and gaze with mur-
derous intent down the barrel of his
trusty Winchester!" (I read that in a
book.) Or do they carry Winchesters?
All I've seen in the movies use their
fists and spurs. Oh, Gee! My heart
goes 'round and 'round when I think of
such brave, bold, creatures. I've been
told that they run wild on the plains.
If that is so. 111 hie me to the plairis,
for to catch me one.
'-••'J
Oh, yes, .just a few more questions.
Do they carry off wealthy ranchers'
daughters on horseback, and does fond
papa madly pursue them, waving corn-
cobs in the air? Mercy! TJo think of
such romance! It must be very thrill-
ing to-be carried off! But nobody would
want to carry me off; I'm too fat! I
weigh one hundred and twenty pounds
and am five feet two iqches tall. My
hair is brown and curly, and I wear it
down most of the time. Speaking of
eyes, mine are brown and have a sancti-
monious expression - jnost of the time,
(it doesn't mean an^^ing*. though.; My
face is neither round nor long, just
about half-and-half. I wear a shoe
number four and a half. (This is as en
couraging description as I can give; ]
avoid harassing details, like mouth.)
If you find a cow-boy running wild
who likes the sound of my description,
just send him around. But be sure he is
tall, at least six feet; and he must have
dark, preferably brown, eyes, black or
dark-brown hair, and must wear a pat
ent leather pompadour.
Mr. Cow-Boy, if you will tell me all
about the plains and its inhibitants, you
will win my everlasting gratitude.
It is time to start to Dreamland, where
the handsome cow-boys are, so good-bye.
Little Bit.
P. S. I forgot to tell you my age.

MENTNSTERS IN CHAPEL FRIDAY

as well as preaching serviees in num-
bers of the communities around George-

CAMERON 13. GEORGETOWN 7
Eagles of Georgetown Hi dropped a
hard fought battle to Cameron Wednes-

FROSH PARTY RESULTS
IN A COMPLETE FAILURE
MUCH CLASS RIVALRY SHOWN IN
ANNUAL AFFAIR—UPPERCLASS-
MEN VERY ACTIVE
,i ■
,v<«
t
V "
Basing their surmises upon substan-
tial rumors, the upperelassmen of South-
western became very active last Monday
in suppressing any desires that the
freshmen might have for entertaining
themselves. Activities began early in
the afternoon when the monstrous sophs
fwooped down on a pitiable number of
the fish and proceeded to string them
on good1 stout ropes. This catch netted
some fifteen or twenty of the speckled
and other varieties of the inhabitants
of findom. An effort was made to rent
the county jail for several hours to use
as a club house for the unlucky slimes,
but circumstances prevented this plan
from materializing. The prisoners were
marched up town to exhibit to curious
Georgetownitea and several more were
added to the string.
A guard of honor was appointed to
conduct the honorable fish to the gym-
nasium, while a flying squadron was
sent out in an effort to locate the re-
maining members of the class of '26
who had betaken themselves to the
river bottoms and other remote hab-
itations. In the meantime, every effort
was being made on the part of the up-
perelassmen to locate the high and
mighty president of the freshmen. Sus-
picion was aroused by, various reports
that he was hiding in the Woman's
Building, under the watchful eye of the
slimes' friend, Miss Kuykendall. Scouts
were maintained in and around the vi-
cinity of the Annex all through the aft-
ernoon to thwart any attempt on the
part of the freshmen to gain entrance
to the Annex or in case the president
was not there in hiding any effort to
rush him to this plaee of refuge.
By nightfall the leaders of the pirat-
ical sophs felt sure that the president
was in the Annex and that .the only
thing to do was to prevent as many as
possible of the finny tribe from attend-
ing the party except in the prescribed
manner—with hands ties behind their
backs and accompanied by an upper-
classman. As a result, not a single fish
slipped through the net that had been
spread and the front vard of the Anuex
resembled the bank of a river after a
seining expedition had returned with
their wriggling and restless bunch of
fish.
Upon the insistence of Miss Kuyken-
dall these little fellows were released
from custody and she brought forth
from his hiding place tho blushing* but
nevertheless triumphant president.
Stung by this unfair defeat, a number
of the upperelassmen seized tjie pres-
ident and proceeded to mess him up a
little. Quiet was restored after a length
of time. . t-
Quite a few of the upperelassmen and,
of course, all the tisb remained for the
refreahments, which consisted of puneh
And wafers. No serious accidents re-
sulted from this rush, with the excep-
tion >of a goodly number of bruises,
and a few bloody noses.
Undefeated army stars of the Second
Division fell before the perfect inter-
ference and speedy backs of the Pirate
eleven 28 to 0 at the Camp Travis grid-
iron, San Antonio, Turkey Day. The
ticket gate announced the breaking of
all attendance records for this game.
The soldiers' big, bulky and powerful
line-drivers lost to the oiled and shining
football machine of Bill Gardner's. The
Army simply could not stop the end
runs of Magee, Dixon and Kidd, who re-
peatedly swept around flanks for long
gains.
Soldiers Confident of Victory.
With the stands solidly banked with
khaki trimmed in flags and the bands
playing, the undefeated Army eleven
entered the game with worlds of confi-
dence. They ran into a lightning quar-
tet of backs and lost, although playing
brilliant uphill football.
The soldiers presented their strong-
est offense at the close <4Tt^e first half
when they took the piggjfjin ou*th«tfcoW*
20-yard line and advsnced^it ifc yards

C. Magee Draws First Blood. f
Lyons kicked off for Southwestern
and the Army was downed on tho 35-
yard line. The soldiers could not ad-
vance and punted on fourth down, Ma-
gee taking the ball on his owu 35-yard
line. Southwestern fumbled on the ffrfct
play, Army Bowers jkk
througE eenter five yards. Ha*4tins inv

A mixture of line plays and tackle
brushes worked the ball to midfield and
Magee galloped around right end for
42 yards, being stopped on the Army 3-
yard line. Two line plunges failed to
gain on the giant Army line and Magee
scored a touchdown on a left end run.
