SOUTHWESTERN
SUNDAY SCHOO]
UNDER THE MANAGEMENT OF
MR. REEDY INTEREST iS IN-
CREASING
Classes are Organized
In keeping with the remark-
able progress of Southwestern
University in attendance,
athletics and general interest,
the religious phases of student
life are showing gratifying
evidences of interest and ac-
tivity. No phase of collere
life is more alive with interest
and effort, and more promising
as to good results, than the
Sunday School.
The large attendance at the
beginning of the year necessitat
ed some new arrangement for
the overflow, and the main
building was utilized for this
purpose, most of the college
students attending there, in-
stead of at the church. Mr.
Frank Reedy was put in charge
of this department of the Sun*
day School, and the change to
the Main Building is already
showing increased interest in
the Sunday School work. Mr.
Reedy has had a variety of ex-
perience in Sunday School
work, and as Superintendent
of the Trinity Sunday School
at Dallas, just before coming
to Southwestern University,

FIRSTv GAME OF THE SEASON AN
EASY VICTORY FOR S. U. BUT
BOTH TEAMS PLAY GOOD GAME
Team to Contend for Championship
The basket ball season opened
with an easy victory for the
S. U. girls over the Deaf and
Dumb Institute of Austin. Of
course the girls were expecting
to win this game with compara-
tive ease, yet the fact that the
team had not practiced more
than a half dozen times this
year, makes the score of 49 to
7 against the dummies fast six
seem a pretty good showing.
The S. U. girls had a little ad-
vantage in being uniformly
taller than the other team.
They also played quicker snap-
pier ball and seemed to under-
stand the game more. There-
fore the ball was in S. U.s pos-
session perhaps more than
three fourths of the time. The
line-up was as follows.

CAPT. AYERS MAKES SOME IM-
PORTANT ANNOUNCEMENTS CON
CERNING THE WORK
Practice to Begin After Holidays
Since the season for football
has vanished we are now, at
least a greater portion of us
are thinking of the prospects
for a championship baseball
team for the spring months that
there will be many candidates
there is no doubt, for the
schedule, which is being ar-
ranged, will be an attractive
one.
If there is not a drawback of

y$ar take a trijp into Oklahoma
Arkansas as well as playing all
the larger colleges in the State.
Games with Baylor, Texas, A.
and M., T. Q, U. and others
There are two requirements
that might be especially stress-
ed for the baseball plavers.
One is of course that £hey*can
play baseball, the other is that
they must make their credits.
The team was handicapped last
year owing to the fact that
players would be removed from
the team at important times
because of failure in their
work. It is hoped that the
team in general this year make

AND A GOOD TIME IN GENER-
AL WAS HAD
Oyster Supper Given Football Team
As was announced in the
previous issue, the Athletic As-
sociation met in the University
Auditorium for a rally on last
Saturday evening. The occa-
sion was the result of one of
the best athletic meetings dur-
ing the entire season. Every-
body was brimful of glee and
the true college spirit was
more manifest than at any
previous meeting this year.
All of the Annex, including Dr.
and Mrs. Hyer were present
while the crowd was gather
ing several minutes were spent
in the singing of old time col-
lege songs and giving yells. At
the appointed time Prof. Tins-
ley, who was master of cere-
monies, call the Athletic Asso-
ciation to order and made a
short speech on "College
Spirit." He emphasized in a
few well chosen words what
college spirit should be. He
was followed by a speech from
Mr. Frank Reedy who enter-
tained the crowd with his
eloquence and wit for about
thirty minutes. He then left

The Officers and Faculty of Southwestern University
wish to extend to each srudent the heartiest of Ghristmas greeting. The season that
brings joy to all Ghristendom is surely welcome in the great chief school of Texas
Methodism. Hardly another institution has been so signally blessed during the thirty-seven
years of its existence and its struggle for the right, and hardly could any be more grateful.
The Providence that brought a Savior to the earth and hope and peace to every man is pro-
viding yet for Southwestern University and offering a future of joyful and successful service
to each and every student.
It is our earnest desire that the true spirit of Ghristmastide may be known through-
out the entire student body, and that the season of 1910 may always have a place among
the treasures of memory. We earnertly pray that it may be carried to the homes and to
places of business of every patron, ex-student, alumni, pastor and friend, and that the new
year may bring to us all new privileges of usefulness and growth.
