sonnei of the Club at the last
moment, yet they all showed
the training of their mistress'
master hand.
The program rendered was a
i varied one, having.in it quali-
ties that would please the most
fantastic music-lover. Also
qualities* that would cause the
pleasure-seeker to laugh. The
heavier numbers of the Glee
Club were spiced up with en-
cores and numerous other that
kept the audience in a hilarious,
mood all the time.
Two of the old favorites,
Mr. Huffor as Reader, and Mr.
Vaught as Soloist, appeared,
and added another howling
success to already established
fame. The audience always
looks for something good when

on Ihe program, and are never

STATE PRELIMINARY
ORATORICAL CONTEST.
FIVE SPEAKERS TRY OUT AND CONTEST
IS CLOSE
Mayer First Place: Cook Second
The preliminary for the
State Oratorical contest was
h°ld on the evening of March
28 In the college auditorium.
Owing to the number of other
attractions during the last few
days very few of the students
were out to hear the contest
but those who came were amply
repaid for the coming.
Mr. G. T palmer was the
first speaker and gave a strong
presentation of "The Awaken-
ing of China" He drew in
masterly manner a picture of
the effects of the Western in-
fluences upon China thus far
and painted a prophetic picture
of what course the sleeping
giant may take under the im-
pulse of Christian civilization.
Although Mr. Mayer has been
following the local fashion of
having the mumps, he was
nevertheless able to give splen-
did treatment to "The Philoso-
phy of Silence." He drew in
vivid lines, the.effects of high
tension life upon our people and
of the withering effect of
specialization udcti manhood of
our day. As a remedy for both
mental dissipation and onesid-
edness he finds the same agent
as was found by the prophets
of old as well as by almost all
who have done the work of up-
lifting humanity—quiet in
which the -individual may' ad-
just himself to universe of
truth.
Mr. Hagard gave in his quiet
but forceful manner a discus-
sion of "Jesus, The Orator."
He showed the splendid simpli-
city of the Man of Galilee and
the sympthetic way he had of
reaching men's hearts by cloth-
ing his thought in language
that the minds of his hearers
best attuned to—the simple
figures of the home and religi-

After their defeat on the
previous day |he Leaguers
came back strong and were
determined to win the game at
any cost, but they found it
difficult to register at the
counting tation, chiefly be-
cause of the faist work of the
outfielders in the '"arsity
line-up. Sheffielo started out
on the slab for 'Varsity, going
5 innings when he was relieved
by Swenson, Who finished the
game. It was in the fifth inn
ing. that the .
their lone tally. Herbert was
safe on a fielder's choice and
scored on Galloway's two-bag-
ger after 2 men were out.
Herbert and Ashton, two of
the star pitchers of the Austin
team, pitched great ball and
'Varsity's lone score came in
the fourth inning when Ayres
hit one over the tree in right
field and circled the bases for
a home run.
In the 9th inning McHenry
retired both Cowan and Hen-
ninger by nice catches and in
the 10th Ayres retired the 3
batters by making 3 difficult
catches in deep cenler. The
fielding of Word and Robbins
also deserve special mention,
while Mgr. Gear of the Sena-
tors made some nice catches of
hard hit drives.

S. U.-Austin College
The Austin College team,
fresh from their two victories
over T. C. U. failed to fulfill
expectations of their playing
ability on Monday afternoon
and were unmercifully beaten
in the first game of the series
by the one-sided score of 11 to
1. The Collegians were guilty
of several balloon ascensions
during the garm and these with
'Varsity's hard hitting proved
their undoing.
Lowery, who is the star
pitcher for Ihe Collegians,
started on the slab and did
manage to finish the game
there, but it was probably be-
cause pitchers are a scarce
article on the roster of the
above mentioned team. His
downfall came early and was in
the 2nd inning. McHenry
walked, Bobo attempted to sa-
crifice and was safe, McLaugh-
lin bunted and beat it out,
while McHenry scored. Moore
struck out, but Word laid down
a bunt on the sqeeze play and
Bobo and McLaughlin scored
