Whenever the baseball clubs of
either Southwestern or the Uni-
versity of Texas begins to think it
has the edge on the other, "the
thinker" at once begins negotia-
tions for a game. This being the
case the orange and white, after
traveling through several of the
Southern States, winning a couple
of games, losing two and tying as
many, began to feel tl t it had
everything on S. U. fpe result
was that a double header was ar-
ranged for at Austin Thursday.
The game opened with Cone, the
phenom who beat Tulane at New
Orleans 10 to 3, accupyipg the
mound for Texas. The game wsjs
closely contested from the start and
for the first five ,innings neither
side was able to score. Bujt South-
western opened the fire works in
the sixth, when Harris touched
Cone for a single, took Seconal on
McCall's sacrifice, and scored on
Yardley's single.
After this there wasn't any
doubt as to the final outcome of the
fpame. Cocke for Southwestern
was pitching great hall and it was
dtte to his skill ar/i coolness that
Texas failed to score in the third
when with the bases full and only
one out, he shut the lid down
tight, the second going out by a pop
up and the third by whiffing the
air.
In the seventh with S. U. at bat
Cocke took first on an error, Mc-
Henry touched Cone for a singe,
and "Squid" Harris parked the
ball. S. U. scored three times in
jthe ninths The features of this
inning were the two baggers by
McHenry, Harris and Neal.
Texas' two scores came in the
9th when they found Cocke for a
pouple of hits.

An unusually large, earnest and
highly enthusiastic crowd gathered
to participate in the election of
those who are to need our hearty
support and co-operation during
the session of 1912-'13.
There is no doubt about the abil-
ity of these officers to bear up the
part next year. We do not hesit-
ate to say that the energetic en-
thusiastic Joe L. Hill of San An-
tonio with his able assistants and
co-workers will make the Mega-
phone of 1912-'13 rank with the
best of college weeklies. Mr. Hill
is wide-awake, really alive to the
issues of the day, and keeps his
that though there were improve-
ments to be noted in South west-
ern's work. The fielding was much
better than it has been on other oc-
casions. Capt. McHenry must
have spilt cayenne pepper in their
ranks from the amount of "pep"
exhibited as compared with Friday.1
Wilson was on the job in left field
all the time and Harris and Yard-
ley seemed to realize the demands,
of the canvas bags they were stak-
ed to. In the 1st and 4th inning
the first two men up for Baylor got
on without scoring.
Baylor'" first scores and the fea-
ture of the game came in the sec-
ond. Davis and Mendenhall got
clean hits, Hooper hit a roller that
forced Divis out at third, Collier
struck out, but Cocke walked Hut-
to and with two men down and the
baseS full Jack Little came up.'
fielder lined it over the left field in
true Hans Wagner stile, but Mose-
ley was an easy out, McCall to
Harris.
Southwestern had a period of
scoring in the third and pushed
one over in the seventh. * In the
third Capt. McHenry, with one
down hit one to right for two
bases, pilfered third and came
home on Yardley's out, Collier to
Moseley. McCall was safe on Hut-
td's error, stole second and scored
on Neal'8 single. Neal pulled off
some nice baserunning after he had
gone to second on the throw in, he
stole third and scored when one of
Collier's fast ones got away from
Mendenhall. Southwestern's other
score came as a result of Elliot's
threeoase drive to center and a
squeeze play in—which Cocke
figured.
In the sixth Baylor got a score
by the aid of two errors and Hoop-
er's fluke hit. Davis and Mend-
enhall who started the fireworks in
the second were on third and first
when Hooper got a hit that had all
