We are sorry to report that
the Editor-in-Chief is not yet
able to resume his duties at the
head of the Megaphone staff.
Next week's edition will close
tip this year's work and we feel
safe in assuring you that by
that time he will again be on
the scene of action to bid you
our final adieu.
We are all at the "tail end"
of things even if it is so near
commencement; but as was re-
* cently remarked at table talk
./'we're in style at any rate,now
in the days of comet's tails."
It is now that the frayed ends
of all our courses—with the pos-
sible exception of hallology,
which it is whispered has a
guarantee to last forever—have
got to be tried- Some of us just
have to jerk the knot and we re
done. And some of us—let me
pause to cry awhile—still have
those stitches way back yonder
—ninety times nine of them are
put in. This is chiefly a senior
dirge that I am chanting,—it
is for ye juniors to profit by it
while ye may! Remember that
one more year is given unto you
in which you may get your
"parallel" up in time, for,
verily, itis only an achievement
of well, with some push-
oncy and a box of candles will
do it,—but. And remember,
also, that you have one more
year in which to get that
"recommendation" from some
prof, who "knows." Hear my
doleful tale: the man who has
the giving of the position I
want write me: "Let me hear
an emphatic statement as to
your church going propensi-
ties!" Oh what am I to do in
a case like that? So hear me
while it is yet your day—be-
ware.
Mr. W. M. Chapman visited
home folks in Leander Satur-
day and Sunday.
The Annual Track Meet of the
Texas Intercollegiate Athletic
Association, was pulled off last
Friday, May 23, at Austin Col-
lege. Only three colleges en-
tered the meet—Texas A. and
M., Austin College and South-
western. Southwestern was
represented by only two men—
Headrick and Voight, but these
two were enough to run a fairly
close s second to A. & M. who
won the meet. Out of thirteen
possible events, these men en-
tered nine and won something
in everything they entered, get-
ting first and second places in
several instances. These two
men deserve special credit for
the good showing they made,
working against thirteen men
from A. and M-, and thirteen
from Austin College and walk-
ing off with second place for
Southwestern. In the nine
events which they entered they
took the following points: 100
yard dash, Headrick 1st and
Voight 3rd, time 10 1-5 seconds;
220 yard dash Voight l3t and
Headrick 2nd, time 23 2-5 sec-
onds; broad jump, Headrick 1st
and Voight 2nd, 20 ft., 2 1-2.in.
Voight entered 120 hurdles and
won 2nd. Headrick entered
shot put and won second. Dis-
cus throw Headrick won sec-
ond. High jump, Headrick
won 3rd. Hammer throw,
Headrick won second. On the
440 yard dash Voight won 3rd.
In this event. Southwestern
would have easily won both first
and second places if they had
got a fair start. The starter
was evidently a new man at the
business, as was also the
referee, and thus it was through
ignorance and not partiality that
the other men were allowed to
start before the shot was fired,
while Headrick and Voight
waited in vain fo^them to be
called for a fair beginning.
Voight after waiting for a time
to argue the matter with the
starter set out to win, and with
the crowd all cheering for South-
western and "cussin" the start-
er, he passed four men and won
3rd.
After the meet a very enthus-
iastic meeting of the faculty
representatives was held. Nine
colleges were represented and
all were agreed to do all in their
power to promote clean athletics
in Texas Colleges and also to do
all they can to cut out ringers.
Prof. McGinnis was our repre-
sentative, and was showered
with compliments for our ath-
letics, and for Coach Arbuckle,
who has made for us the ath-
letic record which we have with
the other schools.
Wherever he has been with
them, or wherever he has offi-
ciated in a game they are willing
to leave to his judgment and
sense of justice any point that
may come up. He was out with
the ball team at the time of this
meet but nevertheless, they
showed their appreciation of
him by electing him President
of the Intercollegiate Athletic
Association for the ensuing
year.
It is time every young man-
in Southwestern should be
definitely deciding as to wheth-
er hetis going to the summer
Y. M. C. A. conference to be
held at Seabrook, Texas, June
1019
Delegates will be there from
all the principle colleges and
''Prep" schools in Texas, Louis-
iana, Oklahoma, Mississippi
and-Arkansas. The delegates
will sic by colleges and States
in the dining room. They will
sing,'* yell and engage in all
kinds of college spirit. Every
young man should go to one of
these summer conferences to
learn what college spirit and
the Y. M C. A. are. There
will be a variety of athletic con-
tests including bathing and
boat riding.
But the thing we are most
interested in is the training of
leaders for the work we have to
do here. At Waco Dr. Weather-
ford said that the college which
will do the best Y. M. C. A.
work next year will be the col-
lege which has the best dele-
gation at Seabrook. South-
western can and should stand
first in her Christian activities.
If you want the people of the
State to know this, be one of
our number from June 10-19.
If you are interested in this,
see F. A. Crutchfield within the
next few days.

ETHODISTS DEFEATED ARKAN-
SAS.
Mayor Hay of Dallas stood on
the side line yesterday and
smiled a Roosevelt grin as he
watched the Georgetown boys
wallop Bezdeks cubs. Satisfied,
he left last night for Dallas,
and well he did, for the over-
confidence of the Razorbacks
has faded away and they are
due to trim the younsters this
afternoon and again tomorrow.
Hinton, the recruit southpaw,
mounted the mound for Arkan-
sas and pitched a beautiful
game, allowing only 5 well scat-
tered hits.
Arkansas' defeat was due to
her inability to hit the horse
hide. Mr. Ayres' out-drops
were a myteric maze to the Ar-
kansas artillery and the heavy
hitters completely failed to'
judge his twisters. In the past
Texas has always sent up good
teams and the Southwestern
College aggregation is no ex-
ception. They are a clean-cut
classy little bunch of players
and play ball all the time.
The Arkansas team probably
was weakened to some extent
by the absence of Miller and
Allen. Still, Hennessey, who
substituted for Miller, drew a
nice, clean hit and only made
one error. Stout went to center
garden and Tompkins took right
field.
While Texas scored on Arkan-
sas' errors, Arkansas lost the
game by not hitting the ball/
The visitors have good cause to
be proud of their victory.—Ex.
