PIRATES DEFEAT BOBCATS ON EVANS FIELD
Jackets Win to Give Pirates T. I. A. A. Title EDENS SUCCESSFUL IN
FIRST SEASON AT S. U.
Edens’ Eleven Victors In Turkey Day Clash
MEGAPHONE PICKS ALL T. I. A. A.
TEAM
As the sun went down on Turkey
Dav, hundreds of shrill whistles signal !
ed the eloso of the 1925 football season I
i
in Texas and in the T. 1. A. A.
While Southwestern was taming the
Bobcats, Howard Payne was hanging
the Cowboys of Simmons College with
their own lariat. This left Southwes-
tern as the only undefeated team in the
association and with but one tie game to
mar her record.
In the early part, of the season, Trin-
ity, Simtm Vustin College and How-
ard Pay in Lie the hot favorites of
the sports writers, with the Pirates
bringing up the rear.
Trinity started off with a bang by
holding A. & M. to a low score, defeat-
ing the Owls, and then taking the Bay-
lor Bears to a cleaning. They contin-
ued at this pace by drubbing several of
the weaker teams in the association and
all was well until Simmons got the
breaks and lucked out on them 9 to 7.
This eliminated Trinity and boosted
the Cowboy stock way up above par.
Iu the meantime, Southwestern took the
starch out of Pete Oawthon’s Kangaroos
and held Howard Payne to a 13 to 13
tie. This left Howard Payne and Sim-
mons in the roles of favorites until Trin-
ity upset things by pulling the Yellow
Jackets’ stingers and eliminating them
6 to 0. The dope bucket was again ex-
amined on the bottom when “Lefty”
Edens’ Pirates took Trinity into camp
in one of the best and hardest fought
games even seen on Snyder Field.
This is the way things stood when
the teams went into their final games
on Thanksgiving Day. Simmons might
have won the title, Simmons and How-
ard Payne might have tied for the
honors, but the gods of chance and
football were with the Pirates and, with
the aid of Howard Payne they emerged
from the fracas as the only undefeated
team in the conference.
Never has there been such close com-
petition in the T. I. A. A., and never
have they turned out, such teams as
they did this year. There wore two
new coaches in the field this season—
Barry Holton of Trinity and “Lefty”
Edens of Southwestern. Edens turned
out the only championship team South-
western has ever had and Trinity was
a close runner up.
ftjany individual stars were brought
into the limelight, so many, in fact,
that it is very difficult to pick an all-
T. I. A. A. team, but after much consid-
eration, wo submit The Megaphone’s
selection:
Manning, Trinity, center.
Boggs, Trinity, guard.
Standford, Howard Payne, guard.
Eranka, Austin College, tackle.
Ryan, St. Edwards, tackle.
Cook, Howard Payne, end.
Perrin, Southwestern, end.
Blackburn,South western, quarterback.
McAllester, Howard Payne, halfback.
Capt. Carl Reynolds, Southwestern,
halfback.
Bassett, Howard Payne, fullback.
Other men worthy of honorable men-
tion are: Durrenberger, St. Eds; Yan-
tis and Schley, Trinity; Grady, H. P.;
Lingo, Cone, Crawford and Hill, A. C.;
Black and Sportsman, N. T. T. C.; Mc-

Pearl A. Neas, Registrar.
Dr. Henry Lawrence Southwick, pres-
ident-of Emerson College of Oratory of
Boston, appeared bfore the students of
Southwestern University in the second
Lyceum number of the season on Mon-
day evening, Nov. 30, in the University
auditorium. The play Dr. Southwick
chose for interpretation was Shake-
speare’s great tragedy, “Julius Caesar".
He prefaced the reading of the play
with a few explanatory remarks con-
cerning the historical significance of
the drama, as well as some interesting
facts concerning the historical setting,
the scenes of which Dr. Southwick has
visited and studied with gTeat care.
Throughout the entire play there was
such skillful handling of the explana-
tions and dialogue that the atmosphere
of the story was never broken. The
prominent characters stood out in clear
and vivid forcefulness. The minor char
acters were each given a distinct, touch
of individuality. The mob scenes were
astonishingly artistic and realistic.
Dr. Soutliwick’s voice is rich, reson-
ant, and pliable, having a range well
adapted to the conversational, the dra-
rntaic, and the tragic.
About Three Hundred people were
present, and expressions were heard on
every hand of appreciation of the splen-
did work of Dr. Southwick.

EX S. U. STUDENTS BANQUET AT

One of the outstanding features ot
the State Teachers' convention is the an*
nual Southwestern ex-student, banquet.
This year the banquet was held at the Y.
\V. (A. building at seven o’clock, Fri
day evening, November 27. Judge'Tom
L. McCullough, prominent attorney of
Dallas was toastmaster. Those making
speeches were President J. Sam Marcus,
Dr. C. M. Bishop, former president of
Southwestern, now connected with the j
Department of Religion of S. M. U., Dr.
John Ii. Allen, Professor Emeritus of
Economics of Southwestern, Professor
Tinsley and Mr. Fliim. Throughout tin
evening there was a noticeable spirit of
harmony and loyalty. These ex-students
are backing Southwestern to the limit
On hearing the announcement of our win
ning the T. I. A. A. championship, they
sent, an entlnisiatie telegram of congratu-
lations to Coach Edens. Others attend-
ing the banquet from Southwestern were
Mrs. J. Sam Barcus, Mrs. It. YV. Tinsley,
Misses Kuykendall, Tisdale and Neas,

PREXY DIGS FOR BAND BOYS

GLEE CLUB, CHORAL CLUB, PIANO
AND VIOLIN NUMBERS WILL
BE GIVEN BY STUDENTS
The Fine Arts Department of South-
western will give its first program Mon-
day evening, Dec. 7th, at seven-thirty
o’clock in the University auditorium.
At this recital the Glee Club and Choral
CTOTJ"WTIT appear for the first time this
year. Other features that will add to
tho attractiveness of the program are:
A violin setette, piano quartette and
solo numbers in voice, violin, piano and
expression. There will be no admis-
sion and all the students, faculty, and
the general public are invited to at-
tend.
Ur. .1 .Sam Barcus is not only* willing,
but has willed that :.i all things South
western shall be “Johnnie on the spot.”
And the cost, does not matter, even
though lie has to pay that cost himself.
On Thanksgiving Hay lie willed that
she should be pr, wly represented at
the Pirate-Bobcat game in San Marcos.
And when on Wednesday it looked like
Hie band would not be’t.here on account
of the lack of means of transportation,
Dr. Harms went into his own pocket
and provided for the trip.
Without his willing help, Southwes-
tern’s band could never have been there
to repeat before the Bobcats the demon-
stration which caused the “Triniton
ian” to call it “the best band in the
South.” There would have been no one
to play “Taps” for the slaughtered
hopes of tho defeated Bobcats. No
notes of cheering music would have
reached the Pirates’ ears as they bat-
tled for Southwestern's honor. With it
absent, there would have been no hack
bone to the Pirates’ “power behind the
throne” in the bleechcrs. Perhaps with-
out it, victory and the T. 1. A. A. might,
not, have been ours—who knows!
