Coach “Lefty'* Edens’ Pirates start into their Texas Conference sched-
ule, play their hoihe-coming” game, and will break into the win column,
till in a single content which will be staged on Snyder Field Friday night
tit eight o’clock.

The PifattiB play SIX conference games this season. They have
4 seven games left on their program. The one extra, outside the con-
ference, is out Old friend, the Bobcat of the San Marcos Texas Teach-
■ ers’ College. That game is to be played here next week, and after
^jp'that game the Pirates play five consecutove conference foes.
• e e
There are only two conference games being played this week. Be-
sides the St. Edward's-Southwesterh U. contest, Daniel Baker will take
On Austin College at Sherman.
• • •
The scores in these two games are due to be close. Southwestern
has a stronger elub than St. Edward’a By playing their very beet
brand of ball, the Edenmon can come away with a touchdown or two
to spare. Daniel Baker usually whips the Sherman club. The score
was 19 to 0 last year. The Hillbillies are weaker this year, however,
and Austin College is stronger. An upset would not be very surprls
ing to your column editor.
|i • • •
Southwestern University has a young club this year. A young team
is the hottest thing in the world when it is winning, and the sorriest thing
when it is losing. The boys will start out against the Tigers playing
hard, driving football. If they score first, we believe they will blast the
Tigers all the way back to Austin. If the Tigers score first, tjie story
may be different.
• • •
Our club doesn’t have as much spirit as it should have. It is
hard to keep your spirit up when you have big, strong clubs score
101 points on yon lit three games, while in the meantime you are do
ing good to reach the line of scrimmage.
• • •
i) Spirit is a vital thing in a football team. With it a mediocre team
an win from a great team that does not have it.
• • •
Spirit is something that a student body can help put in a team.
With all due apologies to all who don’t like to hear it,, we will say
that the students and the faculty have done absolutely nothing to
stimulate that spirit this year.

We sat in the assembly Thursday at 10:30 o’clock. The following
morning' at 8 o’clock the team was to leave for Denton to engage a pow-
erful, spirited foe. We waited for the pep meeting, the singing of songs,
jthe yelling that wati'fo fohxwr We wanted in vain. Fellows, there wasn’t
Jaie, single, solitary word said about a game that was to be played the

Wo sang a song. It was the “Southwestern Song”. Tour writer
didn’t know the song. Neither did a hundred of the other good sing-
ers. When the song was finished, Dr. Meyer stated that next week
Wti NWttlti learn the Pirate Fight song. “Lti&tti it,” by thunder!

Most of us don’t know, and can’t; imagine, how it feels to play foot-
ball. If you win, it is fun. If you lose, it isn’t. Every time a backfield
man takes the ball he knows he is going to be knocked down. Every
he tackles a man he expects his teeth to be kicked down his throat,
e of our men are playing with injuries that may hurt them all of
eir lives. V

/ T? The men are playing for various reasons. The one big reason
la that they like physical contact. They like to rip Into a fellow,
feel his bones bend, and hear his explosive “uhh!” Some axe playing
to get through school. Some are playing for their school, and they
Edenmen Crushed By
Smooth Denton Tean
Stovall, Teacher
Ace, Rips Buc
Line at Will
John Stovall’s nimble hips and
twinkling toes were more than
Coach “ Lefty’’ Edens Pirates could
take. The North Texas Teachers
Eagles, led by this spear-head of at-
tack, battered the Edenmen from
start to finish of the one-sided contest
and came out holding the heavy end
of a 34 to 0 score.
The Pirates fought. They crashed
through that powerful Eagle line time
and again to crash the elusive Stovall
to earth before he could get started.
Joe Barnes and Big Turner smacked
hard on offense, too, and on several
occasions they almost got away.
Stovall ran from deep punt forma-
tion. (He would take the ball and
start driving straight at one of the
Pirate ends. It didn’t matter mum
if the end was blocked, he eouldn’t
get his hands on Stovall. The slim
scooter would side-step the end,
weave a little farther out into the
open, step around a halfback or a
line backer and laugh at the Pirate
safety man, who would be hemmed in
or cut down by the Eagle blockers.
The Pirates played better ball
against the Teachers than they did
in Waco or in Clarksville. Those
Denton boys simply had the finest of-
fense the Pirates have met. Their
blocking was almost perfect, and
Stovall wasn’t the only one in their
lineup who could carry the ball.
Orr played a fine game for the
Pirates. Hershel has been out of the
line-up with a lame knee all season,
and had not seen service before he
started the game against Denton. He
not only started, but he played the
whole game. He looked mighty good
