NEW STUNT AT NEXT GAME
Tho Kitten Klub has been practic-
ing all week on a new stunt which
will bo featured at the Denton-A. C.

We're Going to Tech!
Get Your Ticket Now!
Eor the post tlirco years the students of Abilene Christian Col-
lege have been begging pleading and petitioning tho authorities
of tho school for a special train to Lubbock on November 11 tho
day on which the Wildcats clash with tho Matadors.
This year the authorities hnve consented for a train to be run
and have left it up to the student body to sponsor it. The train
will cost nearly a thousand dollars so two hundred and fifty
tickets must be sold at $3.95 before-the train can be ordered. A
Elacard similar to a clock will be placed in the administration
uilding that will ehow everyone the number of tickets sold each
day toward tho goal of 250.
Some students are already saying that wo can not sell that many
tickets.- Maybe we can't but if we do not it will only show the
disloyalty oftha majority of the student body toward the football
team composed of men that are out on the gridiron fighting with
aft the might and sacrificing all they have because-they love their
coach their school and the students. Are we going to be in Lub-bock-tQeupport
and yell for them? Yes! Buy your tickets as
soon as possible because the train must be ordered a week before
its scheduled time to start. ALFRED WELLS.

Library Receives
English Journals
The London Times Weekly Edition
and the Blackwood's Magazine both
published in England are now avail-
able In the college library. They aro
on the regular subscription list.
Contrasted with tho American
weekly periodicals the first copy re-
ceived of the London journal differs
in many respects.
Rather than the bold headline
found in American forms this week-
ly uses but the simplest labels. The
front page and back is of yellow and
advertisements complete the first
sheet.
The first Inside sheet is filled with
largo pictures of notables in govern-
mental affairs and the quality of
the pictures is greater than the' blur-
red types found in American dailies.
Many fields of activity are cov-
ered. Government politics trade
literature entertainment and nports
have a large play-up. Notes on the
gamo of chess aro found in one sec-
tion. A literary supplement accompanies
tho weekly.
The magazine published by Black-
wood and'so named Is printed In Edin-
burgh. Interesting English short
stories aro contained therein.
Epsa and Alfred Wells spent tho
week-end in Fort Worth with their
parents. Nettie Leo Meeker accom-
panied them that far and from there
went to Tomple Toxas where she
visited her parents.
Photographer Applies His Art of
Producing Smiles on A CC Subjects
'That'll bo dandy your mother will
bo proud of that.' How many stu-
dents laughed until they hurt at this
and similar statements from Photo-
grapher Taylor last week?
On Monday tho thirteenth Taylor
orived with all his "little birdies"
cages and assistants to begin work
on the pictures for the silver anni-
versary Prickly Pear. The freshmen
wero assigned Monday Tuesday and
Wednesday while the upper-classmen
used tho threo remaining days of the
week.
The freshmen were subjected to
many misgivings about having their
pictures "tuck" and some of them
had to bo given augmented doses of
"Taylor's special preparation for pro
curing smiles." beforo they could face
the guns It Is consented by all that
his smile provoker is among the best;
When he asks "What am I gonna
fee of their offensive star Garland
Keyes if he does not improve a great
deal by gamo time says Coach Mor-
ris. Keyes has been hurt since tho
first of the season with a bod nose
nnd in tho Canyon gamo two weeks
ago ho received an injury to his leg
that caused him to have to see the
Son Mhrcos gamo from tho side line.
Wilburn Hill n regular guard will
also be out of tho gamo duo to an
injured knee that ho received at Can
yon. The knee has been giving him a
great deal of trouble and he will be
o'ut for another week at least if tho
Injured member docs not take a turn
for the better according to Morris.
D. H. Moyers tho second member
of tho backfleld to receive a leg in-
jury is still hobbling around and it
Is very doubtful if he will bo able to
play any In the gamo as he got the
knee hurt -over again in tho gomo
last Satufte against tho Bobcats.
The starting backfleld according
to Coach Morris will likely consist
of "Moon" Block ot quarterbacki
Bryan and Scruggs at halves and big
Dean Alexander nt tho fullback posi-
tion. Tho ends ore to be cared for by
Brit Pippen nnd Lcnnon Hill. Plppen
played In the backfleld on tho offense
and in the line on the defense against
San Murcos last week. At tackles
will be Lee Powell star on both tho
defense and offense against the Bob-
cats and tho big 215 pound "Tiny"
Adams.
'to guard positions are to bo look-
ed after by Cobb Hunter and Reese.
Captain Frank Wortham will bo seen
nt his old position at center when
the teams lino up for tho kick-off. It
wns Worthajn who pulled Francis
Sanders down on tho seven yard line
last Saturday night after he had run
03 yards for what looked like a touch-
down. North Texas comes to Abilene with
a good record and somo victories over
strong teams. Their most Impressive
victory was against Trinity Univers-
ity. Tho Eagles spotted tho Tigers
to a six-point lead when Rusty Hill
went over for a touchdown for the
Trinitonians; but came right back and
scored a safety and a touchdown to
defeat Trinity 9 to 0.
Tho Eagles who are favored as a
likely winner of tho T. I. A. A. seem
to depend on two freshmen backs for
most of their touchdowns.
'WE WOULD SEE JESUS'
DISCUSSED BY WEEMS
A largo crowd heard J. Eddie
Weenifl professor in English in Abi-
lene Christian College speak on the
subject of "Wo Would See Jesus"
Sundny evening at 7:30 in Sewell nu-
ditorlum.
"Tho Magi wero wise because they
came to worship Jesus and I say to
you any man is wise who seeks Jesus
to worship him today" said Weems
in telling of tho life of Jesus.
"Weems discussed the requirements
of Jesus in his teaching that a new
birth is necessary; and in conclusion
he spoko of tho manner in which
Jesus would return and urged all men
bo ready for that coming.
haft to do to make you. smile?" ono
just naturally has to smile. Somo
over-emotional subjects got so upset
that the photo man had to request
them to "keep their tonges inside"
or to "button up their mouths" or
somo other fitting request.
It was announced that satisfaction
was guaranteed on all work. Upon
this pretext one student (really seek-
ing mercy instead of justice) came
back for a second sitting. He was In-
formed that many students would be
glad to have as good a picturo as his
first. To this he replied "Yes but
my girl doesn't like it." Taylor look-
ing up at him rather pitiably said
"she thinks you're good looking may-
bo" then reached for his pipe puffed
it a tlmo or-two and began admlnis
tcring tho smile producer to tho next
I victim.
