ANNEX RECEPTION
YOUNG LADIES' SOCIETY HALLS
A PLACE OF MERRIMENT FOR
HALLOWE'EN PARTY
The Realms of Mystery Enjoyed by
aU Adventurers
On last Monay evening the
Alethean an Clio Societies gave
a Hallowe en party in their halls
at the Annex. At about 8 o'clock
throngs of young men began to
make their way towards the
Annex; a feeling of mystery
was in the air; the front of the
building was dark: the wiiid
rustled the tops of the trees,
and one with the rudiments
imagination could tell that
witches with their broomsticks
were abroad.
At the front of the walk in
the court were stationed spect-
ral whiterobed figures that sil-
ently pointed the way to the
left. Inside others were stat-
ioned at the foot of the stairs
and at the landings, always sil
ent and always pointing up
wards toward the left. On
coming up the last flight of
stairs and pulling aside a cur-
tain all those who had courage
-enough to come this far were
ushered into a rcom which was
full of radient-faced maids who
gave them a royal welcome.
From that time on everything
wAs merry. On the walls were
figures of mysterious black cats;
witches were continually whisk-
ing by with their proberiai
broom handles; suspended above
the doors were oranges and rais-
ins; in a corner was a large tub
of lemonade and the only cups
to be found at first were half-
lemon peels, but later large
coffee cups were brought. Con-
venient to the lemonade was
another tub of ginger cakes.
There were fortune tellers
galore. One had the fortune
seeker put his ha d through the
curtain then a ful< grown oyster
was put in his hand with the
injunction to hold it and pass it
on to the next. It was good
luck to hold it, and bad luck to
FOOTBALL NEWS
MCMILLAN'S DISQUALIFICATION
CAUSES MANY SHIFTS IN THE
LINE-UP
T. C. U. the Next Game
Continued qn page 8.
Since the Austin College
game football practice has
been rather light as some of the
cripples, who invaded Arkan
sas, have not yet fully recover-
ed from injuries received. Aus-
tin College scribes exclaimed
with joy thatS. U.'e champion-
ship contenders were in prime
eoftftftion and they were also
gtad to note that they were able
to hold ua to a tie. Just aB a
reminder, however, We would
like to invite the Austinian
staff to a real game when our
champions are "right. '
The lineup has been shifted
considerable of late by Coach
Arbuckle owing to McMillan's
McLain has
called in from the Scrubs
and placed at guarciL Hfender-
son has been ah if ted to tackle
while McHenry is again play-
ing quarter, Snipes working at
left half where he has always
played a star game. Mickle is
still out of the game but will
probably be a mainstay at tackle
when he returns. The line up
this week which has trampled
the Scrubs unmercifully on
several occasions is as follows:
Parr, Center; Flanagan, Mc-
Clain, Guards;Henderson, Hen-
drix, Reall, Tackles; Brown-
field, Hobbins, Ends; McHenry,
Snipes, Quarter; Crutchfield,
Voigt, Strange and Wilson in
the back field.
The next game is with T. C.
U. and at present we fear no
trouble in taking their scalps.
They were recently beaten by
Baylor by a big score, while A.
and M. trounced them 23 to 6.
They have played a tie game
with "Poly" arid beaten Trinity
18 to 8.
The Schedule after the T. C.
U. game will work some hard
ships on thi players. We play
A. and M. on Friday and on the

THE FIRST NUMBER ON THE LY-
CEUM COURSE GIVEN TO AN
APPRECIATE AUDIENCE
Program is a Happy Variety
Continued on page S.
Last Friday night University
people were entertained with the first
number of the Lyceum Course for the
season of 1910 11—The Parland New-
hall Quartette. This Quartette gave
their concert to a full house, and
from all appearances it was fully ap-
preciated. The-program was varied
enough to suit the taste of the most
fantastic, and the work of each
member of the Quartette was that
of an artist in any one of the many
lines that they attempted. The
voices in the Quartette blended per-
fectly, and some of the Company
pleased the audience • with their
solos. The vocal music was inter-
spersed with horn quartetts and
violin solos, which proved to be a
very happy vpriatiojis.
One of the most popular diver-
sions of the evening, with the
audience, was the chimes of the
bells. This tegether with snappy
encores intermingled among the
quartettes and solos, made the pro-
gram a thoroughly enjoyable one,
for all. The following program was
rendered;

SCRBS WIN GAME FROM "DUM-
MIES"
F) • •

Prof. Lehmberg has returned
from the German Mission Con-
ference. which met at East Ber-
nard.
The Southwestern Scrubs
journeyed to Austin last Satur-
day and whiled away the time
Texas spent in goose-egging
Auburn by mixing up with the
team of the State School'for the
D. and D. It was perhaps not
such a classy performance as
was put on in the big ring, but
made a very creditable side at-
traction nevertheless. Much to
the regret of the Georgetown
boys, who wanted to see the
game between Texas and Au-
burn, the match was not begun
until 3:30. When it did start,
however, it gave them enough
to think about while it lasted.
The "Dummies" scored first—
and promptly and total demoral-
ization seemed eminent. But
the light lads soon settled
down, found out they could
carry the ball a little, and be-
fore the first half was ov^V had
two touchdowns and a goal
chalked up in their favor. In
the second half the contest was
close, and the game in the fire
a good part of the timer but
finally the final whistle put an
end to the possibility of an-
other score. The final score
was 11-6 in our favor. Those
who made the trip were, Barn-
hill, Capt; Goss, Pritchett*
Crozier, Word. Humphreys,
Barcus, Dudley, Harrison, Port-
er, Whitccmb, Moore, Kilgore*
Nixon, Decker, Waggoner.

TRACK WORK BEGINS.
F. R. Stamford, Manager of the
Track Team, has been getting his-
forces together this week and will
soon be ready to put them into re-
gular practice. He has begun with a
two and one half and three mile
runs, but he expects to have a team
in the near future that he can chase.-
several miles every day.
Try that S. U. cigar at Longra;
its fine. Also a fine line of
tobacco and pipes and smokers"
supplies.
Cap Stone stopped over Sat-
urday morning to renew ac-
quaintances at S. U. He went:
to Austin Saturday afternoon.
