ROCHESTER TRIP
A GREAT ONE
DELEGATES ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
BOTH TRIP AND CONVEN-
TION.
Report to Sunday Massmeeting
The s tudents were last Satur-
day morning gladdened by the
sight of the delegates, just re-
turned from the great, world
wide convention at Rochester,
New York. Just a bit worn by
the long trip, they seemed glad
to get back but sorry, on the
other hand, for the good times
to cease. "Oh! It was great,"
said Robert Lee Brewer, "The
trip witin itself was worth the
expense and the convention
three times the expense.'
At Dallas the entire Texas del-
egation boarded a special train,
proceeding to St. Louis via the
Katy and from thence over the
Big Four. The regular trains
gave them the right of way and
everything ran so smoothly
that Rochester was reached two
hours before schedule time.
Once in the city the Reception
Committee assigned the South-
western delegates quarters near
each other, which made every-
thing very pleasant.
It is reported that the Texas
delegation attracted consider-
able attention and a Texas
badge would always hold the
eyes of the people of Canada
and the New England States,
whose scanty and misguided
knowledge of the far Southwest
had gi ven them the idea that Tex
ans all wore red bandanas and big
spurs and would shoot up the
town on the slightest provoca-
tion.
The return trip was made via
Buffalo, N. ' Y.; where the
party had the opportunity to
minutely inspect the great

VERSITY AND GEORGETOWN
AUDIENCE.
House Filled to Overflowing.
Monday night Mr. Dee play-
ed to a well filled house, and a
very appreciative one. He
showed himself to be thorough-
ly acquainted with the various
stops and the mechanism of the
organ.
Among the selections were
many well known favorites,
Traumeri, Intermezzo, Melody
in F, and still others.He also
played a Fantasie on Schubert's
setting of the "Erl King,"
one of the most famous poems
ever written. Another Fantasie,
"The Fall of Satan," composed
by Mr. Dee himself, was very
suggestive and beautiful.
Mr. Dee is a pupil of Sir. A.
Gaul, Mus Bach, Cantab, Eng-
land, and is at present the or-
ganist at the Church of Incar-
nation at Dallas. We were very
much favored in having him
come, and thank him for giving
us our first organ recital.

TRACK TEAM
BEGINS WORK
MANY NEW MEN OUT -SEVERAL
OF THE OLD STARS BACK WITH
US AGAIN.
Triangular Meets Planned.
Active work has now begun
in the training of the Track
Team and every afternoon
I large bunch
a
of men may be
seen "going to the country"
and thereby improving their
wind. They start from the
gymnasium shortly after four
| and run about three and one
half miles;of course, these are
j the long distance men principally
who are taking this initial
! work. Many others will be out
later to try for shorter runs,
jumping, vaulting and throwing
' the weights.
Many of the older men who
have won us honors on last
year's team are back and will
be in the work this year; be
sides these, new material is
showing up rapiuly and the
outlook is encouraging for an
all round team. Among the old
men who are with us this' year
are Snipes, the pole vaulter;
Headrick,the swift hundred yard
man; Voight and Elrod who
are good at either 220 or
and Hendricks and Ayers
are good with the discus
hammer. So many new
are trying out that it is
possible to give a list and
what they are trying for.
It is being planned to have at
least two and possibly three tri-
angular meets with colleges dur-
ing the year. Southwestern has a
good reputation in track athlet-
ics and the prospects are favor-
able for her sustaining this
record this season.

One of the very best and
most artistic entertainments of
the season, given at the Univer-
sity Auditorium was "Polly of
the Circus," presented by Miss
Rubie A. Simcn, reader and im-
personator, the profits going to
the Mothers' Circle and S. U.
Athletic Association.
An exceptionally large, and
composite audience, including a
number of able critics of the
art of imperonating was pres-
ent, and all unite in lauding the
the talent and interpretive
powers displayed by Miss Simon.
Prior to the reading the fol-
lowing pleasing musical concert
was rendered:
Sonnett in D—Diabelli—Misses
; Thomas and Ryan.
1 Love Thee—Thomas Hood —
J Miss Vivia Dever.
This is not the place to criti-
cise "Polly of the Circus," as
a literary production,so delight-
fully realistic, and filled with
humor and pathos, but if ever
that play did not please people it
was NOT last Saturday night.
Pleasing in appearance, young
and beautiful with a fresh girl-
ish look, showing character and
soul-depth in every feature and
movement, the very embodiment
of true lady-like refinement
Miss Simon stepped upon the
stage, and from the time she
first spoke to the beautiful end
of that piece of literature which
j she so enlivened and beautified,
she hold the attention and ad-
miration of her audience.
