The Wildcats, by a score of 21-17,
were victorious in a game played
with Denton Normal Saturday, Feb-
ruary 28.
"By the end of the lirst half
when the score stoo<| 1(5-10 in favor
of Denton, we sow that we were
going to have to tight as we never
had before," said Josephine Kennon.
It seem that all of the team recog-
nized this as during the third quar-
ter T. W. C. made (> points, and
Denton did not score at all. The
last quarter was played hard also
and the game ended 21-17 favor of
the Wildcats.
•The pep squad put on their stunts
including "Thousand-legged Worm,"
and T. W. C. letter formation and
• J
contributed a great deal to the win-
ning of the game. In addition to
the pep squad a number® of girls
making 42 in all went over on the
Safety Coach driven ,by Mr. George,
president of the Safety Coach Com-
pany of' Fort Worth. »
•¥> dinner President Stout, an-
nounced the outcome of the fame
to ther'girls who had " stayed home.
Thpy were kept, in suspense as he
told of T. W. C. losing one quarter,
and another and finally, when some
were almost hysterical he announced
the outcome.
This game was the last of the
series that had to be played in the
conference.
The referee was Miss Ferber, C.

Defeating. Denton Normal Satur-
day, Feb. 2*r<n the D'Vffoii court,
by a score of 21-17, the Texas Wom-
an's College cagers played their last
conference game and ended a bril-
liant season of basket ball. The Wild
Cats have played six conference
games and won five and stand in
o to
the lead for . the .championship of
the T. W. J, A. A. San Marcos is
claiming the same ^privilege. How-,
ever, the conference is composed of j
the following teams: S. W. T. S.
T. G.; San Marcos; E. T. S. T. C.,
Commerce; N-. T. S. T. C., Denton;
Simmons College, Abilene; and T. W.

teams have each played §ix games
and won five. T. W. C. has played |
0
three teams in the conference, while;
San Marcos has played only two.
These facts, it is evident, give the
Wild Cats the lead. A clash be-

ranged. Games,, were scheduled but
were cancelled by the San Marcos
officials.

"If decency and ideals are present
in a country the art is beautiful; if
not it is ugly," said Dean Carl
Venth, Texas Woman's, College,
speaking of present conditions of art
in Europe, at chapel Friday morning.
"Any, one can hear a mountain fall,"
be continued, "but we have to listen
to hear a flower sijig. In going to
Eurgpe my primary aim was, of
course, selfish, but my secondary aim
was to find out why modern music is
what is it, why it, is different, and
why sometimes unbeautiful.
"Molly Cotton Tail in the North is
white, in the"South brown. The rea-
sons for the difference are the cli-
mate, geography, and the food. The
same reasons apply to music. We
can't get away from the body, no
matter how spiritual we may be. Why
is a waltz in Vienna different from
a waltx- in Mexico ? A waltz? is
always a waltz, yet there is a dif-
ference; It depends on the geogra-
phy, food„0and politics. To see all
the • underlying causes that affect
European art we must forget our
patriotism and nationality.
"There is no hope -for Germany
unless she has'*, a religious revival.
Iter faith and ideals are gone. All
this has a bearing op art. Some of
the new pictures lobk as if' a two-
year-old child had flijng a handful
of daub on a canvas. I looked at
them two minutes and they gave me
the, jim-jams. This art is the result
of Jewish influence. It came about
through the shifting of values when
the money went down to make the
state .solvent. Germany is "out of
debt " btjt she is bankrupt. The
wealth has fallen into the hands of
the Jews.
j
"There can not be art without
money," he continued. "The large
orchestras can not subsist on the
gate receipts. They must he sup-
ported. All this takes money and no
one has it except the Jews. They
like modern art and keep it what
it is. '
•• '*AII of Europe is subdued, there
is no forceful expression. The fight-
ing spirit is still with Germany
though now it is neighbor against
neighbor. In the district of English
occupation everything is quiet. The
English are nice. In the Iihur it is
difficult. The people are mere slaves,
producing at the point of a bayonet.
There can be no inspiration or beau-
ty in such-conditions.
"Since art is dependent on food
and money it is easysee that
under such conditions there can be
no beautiful artistic expression,"
concluded Dean Venth.

The S. M. K.'s were triumphant
in the inter-society debate with the
Koros, which took place at 4:30
Thursday, March 5, in the chapel.
The subject was: "Resolved tfyat
examinations should be abolished in
college." The Koro debaters: Mary
Neeley and Elizabeth Robinson took
the affirmative. Thet»S. M. K. de-
baters: Gladys Thurston and Mary
Noel had the negative.
The affirmative had foui^ main is-
sues:, first, exams are an unfair
measure of the achievement of the
pupils; second, they exist only as
wornout traditions and are not in
keeping with modern methods; third,
they are detrimental to health;
fourth, they furnish the wrong
stimulus to study.
Positive proof of their being detri-
mental to health was given in the
following facts: during the week of
exams there were twenty-six Mulkey
girls absent from lunch; Prof, Sam-
uel Irving Ball 'Was quoted as de-
claring cramming injurious; and tne^
University of Pennsylvania reported
four attempts at suicide during exam
week. ' . i \
The affirmative also brought out
the point that exams are conducive
to cheating.
t The negative had four issues:
first, exams are necessary to add
the serious element in college life;
second, they are essential for the
organization of material; third, they
are the best known means of teach-
ers in gracing and classifying the
pupils as well as of checking up on
themselves; fourth, exams are the
best stimulus for study.
The negative showed that through
years of research exams were found
to be the best measure of achieve-
ment.
Exams were compared to the rain,
the clouds, and to sorrows as bring-
ing iii the serious element of life
and by contrast enhancing the joys '
of life.
Rebuttal work was quick and
clever.
All of the debaters were alert .and
showed ability as debaters but Eliza-
beth Robinson, Koro, was the out-
standing speaker erf the debate, both
in rebuttal and main speech.
Prof. H. B. Hardt was chairman,
and Dean F. B. Isely, Prof. J. B.
Bishop, and Prof. B. R. Cowgill acted
i-Ys judges.
Each society occupied a separate
section docorated with its respective
colors. Songs and yells added a
great deal to the occasjgn.
