WALDEN, THE MAGICIAN EN-
TERTAINING.
The Lovers of the Mysterious are
Highly Pleased
On Saturday evening, May
14th, Mr. Walden, the long look-
ed for magician appeared at the
University Auditorium. The
entertainment commenced in
the conventional way of making
thing appear as they were not
and causing them to disappear
while yet were visible.
To begin with a common cal-
ico string was transformed into
a creeping serpent and wine
flasks and goblet were called
from their invisible abodes in
the atmosphere. The school
boys pocket was robbed of its
fifty cent piece which after tak-
ing a very myterious journey
returned unharmed to its exalt-
ed place between the two cop
pers.
The next appearance was that
of a man who escaped from all
forms of detention. He was
tied with ropes and then hand-
cuffed but all to no effect. In
fact he escaped from' every-
thing from the straight jacket
to horse hobb.'es. To conclude
his magic wonders the enter-
tainer performed, with the aid
of an assistant, the wonderful
chest feat. After being tied
up in a sack, and placed in a
chest and securely sealed, lock-
ed and tied; the man on the
outside was changed to the rnan
on the inside in the twinkling
of an eye.
For more than an hour this
man behind the scene carried
on such wonderful performance
as was never comprehended by
Ihe mind of man.
The departing audience knew
vastly less than the gathering
one an hour before, but they
came for entertainment and re-
ceived the same. Everybody
went away rejoicing over their
ignorance.
Mr. Albert Jacobs, a freshman
of last year, has just finished a
most successful year'as principal
of the Sunset Public School. He
says he will be back in S. U.
next year.
With the defeat of Wesley
College at Terrell Tuesday by
the score of 10 to 1, Arbuckle's
regiment of ball tossers brought
a very prosperous season to a
close. This game was also the
last game of the extensive trip !
which included games with Ar-j
kansas University, the champ-
ions of the Missouri Valley, and
with other Texas colleges. The
team won 3 out of eight games
played on the excursion and
played great ball in every con-
test save one and that was the
opener against Baylor on Mon-
day, in which listless playing
and many errors marred the
contest. To give the game in
detail would require too much
space, but the following sum-
mary will probably be of inter-
est to those who care to know
something of the games played.
Ayres pitched the opening
game at Baylor and had a bad
day, the Faylorites hitting the
ball hard and winning 7 to 1.
Numerous errors however help-
ed Baylor to 4 of their runs
while S. U. failed to score but
once, on account of bad base
running. Snipes was absent
from the lineup which crippled
the outfield and gave Baylor
extra chances for victory. The
hitting of Crosby and Stephens
for S. U- and Wiley and Graves
for Baylor were the features.
The Score:
R H E
Baylor—I 0001400 x—7 10 3
S U. — 0000000 1—1 4 7
Beginning with the first
Trinity game there were six
consecutive shutouts in which
•S.U.took off the scalps. Vaughn
in this game took the measure
of theTrinitonians in good fash-
ion and applied the kalsomine
to them while his team mates

DR. E. D. MOUZON -
Continued from page 1.
The students of Southwestern
were greatly delighted when
the news was received last Tues-
day that Dr. Mouzon, dean of
the theological department, had
been elected bishop by the an
nual conference of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church South.
Rev. Edwin D. Mouzon, A.
B., D. D., is a native of South
Carolina. He was educated in
the public schools of his State
and in Wofford College at Spart-
anburg, and in 1888 was admit-
ted on trial into the itnerant
ministry in the South Carolina
Conference. ^
He was at once transferred to
the Texas conference and sta-
tioned at Bryan and while serv-
ing this pastorate was married
to Miss Mollie Mike. He was
afterwards transferred to the
Northwest Texas Conference
and was stationed at Fort worth;
from Fort Worth he went to
Missouri and was stationed at
the leading church in Kansas
City.
After a successful pastorate
Dr. Mouzon was transferred to
the West Texas Conference and
was appointed in 1904 to Travis
Park Church, San Antonio.
While serving his last year here
in 1908, he was eleted professor
of theology in Southwestern
University. He accepted the
position and entered at once up-
on his duties.
As a theologicaf professor Dr.
| Mouzon has made a marked suc-
cess. He has traveled over the
State in the interest of his work
and has raised thousands of
dollars as an endowment fund
for the theological department.
In June 1909 he was unanimous-
ly chosen to the position of dean
of the theological department.
While all the students rejoice
to hear of Dr. Mouzon's election
yet it is received with regret
