Ex-Students A Cornin’ Hope
This column joint every campus
organization, - Georgetown, the ad-
| ministration, and the student body
I in welcoming al lparents and ex-
I students to Mother Southwestern's
Centennial Hom«jcoming. Southwes-
tern may well review with pride a
century of Methodist influence in
Texas and the Southwest. “The
| world is my parish,” said John Wes-
ley—and so is the world Southwes-
tren's parish. Those of you who visit
the eampue are proof of the love and
■ influence that Southwestern wields
I at the present moment, and your
| memories contain even more knowl-
edge of that same love and influ-
I' ones.

tainment will go to this cause.

body are invited to the Reception,
which' will begin, immediately fol-
lowing the game. Tickets for the
Reception may be purchased from
any Band member. Admission will
bo forty cents.
Last Saturday afternoon in Waco
our rough and ready Pirates invad-
ed the domain of the great Baylor
Bear. Contrary to the predictions
of our loyal followers, the Pirates
were smashed down 34-0 by a hig
hard-running .Baylor eleven. It was
apparent from the time that Mexka
hit pay dirt early in the first quar-
ter, that Baylor would dominate the
scoring. Big Jack Wilson sparked
that first drive by scintillating runs,
one of which was for 23 yards. Nel-
son, giant center, converted easily
for the first extra point. The Bears
struck again in the fading moments
of the first quarter when Nelson
broke through to block at attempted
quick kick by Brantley and recover
for a touchdown. Nelson again dem-
onstrated his educated toe with a
perfect placement kick.
The second quarter featured a
stiller Pirate defense when the Bay-
lor second team entered the fracas.
The Bear attack was limited te
three first downs, one of whieh re-
sulted from a long running pass,
Parks to Lumnus. Meanwhile, the
Corsairs registered two first downs
and their first display of offensive
power. The half ended with the
ball in S. U.’s possession on their
mm IfrjKrd Hue «nd the jprie- ^
in favor of Baylor. "
Early in the third quarter “Jake”
Powell, Pirate left tackle, was car-
ried from the field with a broken
leg, as the Baylor first team started
its third touchdown march. Wilson
again led the way with smashes in-
side tackle and around end to set
the ball in scoring position. Witt
then threw a nice pass to Lumnus,
who made a spectacular catch in the
end zone. Merka converted for the
extra point, making the count 21-0.
The Pirate passing offense cliSled
again in the last quarter and Fehr
Passed to O'Neil, who spun away to
the Baylor 18-yard line before ho
was pulled down. However, the good
old Baylor lino came through and
the ball went over on the 12-yard
line and Parks kicked out safely.
Wimpee, flashy Baylor end, broke
through to block O’Neill’s kick and
line the ball up for another score.
Parks passed to Wimpee in the ned
zone for the counter and^ Nelson
split the uprights. The score moved
up to 28-0. Grimbles made the last
Baylor touchdown in the closing
minutes of the game after some nice
runs by Lider. Lider failed to eon-
vert, and the score stood 34-0.
The Bears were held to five first
downs the last half and, barring the
two blocked kicks, the score would
have been much smaller. The entire
Pirate eleven showed plenty of fight
and hustle from the start to finish.
The passing of “Tossin’ ” Ted Fehr
and the running of Lee and Brant-
ley sparked the Pirate offense, while
“Dutch” O’Neill played one of tae
best defensive games of any back
on the field in any uniform.
