Cowboy Reserves
Down Roby High
1 For 18r6 Victory
The Cowboy wrecking crew played
Its first game of the year against
Roby High School Friday November
18 and won by an 18-6 score.
"Babe" nibble accounted for one of
the touchdowns by snatching a long
pass near the goal lino and galloping
across and Simmons and Harvey each
carried the ball over the last lino onco
apiece. Rlbblo was probably the out-
standing man in the game.
Thq. teams were well matched but
Adkins mpn clearly outplayed tho op-
ponents in every phaso of the game.
Tho end skirting runs byMcCollum
and Layman ine plunging by Sim-
mons and Hudman the pass snatch-
ing of Ribble and Scott punting by
Harvey and the great defensive game
of Perkins at center featured tho
game. However every member of the
squad. turned iiT'a good game.

of peace. "Democracy and' education
are mutually' co-existeritj democracy
and compulsion aro not co-cxls tent;
tho plan of the affirmatlvo would bo
contrary to democracy" stated' Mr.
King-Hamilton.
Bernard Bule followed as tho second
speaker for Simmons. Mr. Buio re-
sponded: "Tho gentlemen referred to
our proof as containing a hollow
sound ; wo may say that ho has offered
some proof but it is not puncture
proof." Mr. Bute's argument was that
Compulsory Minlitary Training would
bo of such valuable aid to tho indi
vidual in time of peace that it should
be adopted; he further stated that in
case of war tho individual would be
better prepared to protect his country
declaring that fifty per cent of those
boys who died in the world war died
because of n lack of proaredness.
Offers Gymnastics
Tho next speaker was Mr.Herbort
Lionel Elvin of Cambridge. Mr. El
yin's contention was that the affirma-K
tlve's plan would not give one single
benefit moro than a good plan of gym
nasties. "The plan would bo a provo-
cative of war" he further declared.
As ho nearcd the closo of his speech
Mr. Elvin claimed: "My speech will
be Iiko the flapper's dress; short
'enough to be interesting and long
enough to cover tho subject"
Lawrence Fitzgerald followed as the
last speaker for the affirmative. He
maintained that the preceding speaker
had not gone far enough in the com-
parison of his speech to the flapper's
dress. "It resembles the flapper's dress
In -two other respects: it is thin
enough that you can Bee through it;
and it is made out of flimsy material."
Mr. Fitzgerald continued the reason-
ing of the affirmotive that Compul-
sory Military Training would solve
the inadequacy of the present world
situation by showing that it would do
so from a national standpoint "Our
plan would be far less expensive it
would provide a greater reserve force
and t it will do more in tho lessening
of wars today than any other plan"
said Mr. Fitzgerald.
Hugh Macintosh Foot of tho (Jam-
bridge team gavo tho closing negative
speech. Ho declared tho plan of the
affirmative to b prussianistic in
principle and Btatcd that it would
promote war. He continued tho de-
mand of the negative that the affirma-
tive show where their plan would
give a single physical benefit not
obtained in other plans and where
their plan would not promote war.
Rebuttal speeches were made by
Herbert Elvin for tho negative and
Lawrence Fitzgerald tor'- the affirma-
tive. Mr. Elvin demanded again an
answer to tho two questions of the
negative. Mr. Fitzgerald responded
for tho afflrmativo by saying: "Com-
pulsory Military Training according
to tho National Board of Education is
33 per cent' better than ordinary phy-
sical education; what is more it pro-
vides physical training for everybody
which is not provided under theTpres-
ent system." In answer to the second
question Mr. Fitzgerald maintained
that; the" plan of-tho Affirmative would
not provoke war but would bo a
means of lessening wars. "The most
ardent peaco 'advocates admit 'that a
war of defense' is always 'justifiable"
ho said. '
While the ballots were being courtt-
ed tho Cowbpy Band' which had
favored the audience already with a
number of special musical numbers
again entertained the twelve hundred
people present
The. count or the ballot as an-j
nounced by. Mayor Jlayden -was;
Negative upheld by Cambridge 204;
Affirmative upheld by Simmons; 040.

much to holp tho Ranchers In taking
a victory from the El Paso club. The

THEY ACCEPTED A
CHALLENGE
"Someone challenged a man with the oar-driven vessel
. and he built a sailboat. Someone challenged a man with a
steamboat and there came into being a groat ocean liner.
Suppose that instead of accepting tho challenge each sue-
' C06sivo thinker builder had whined his vf ear and accepted
dofcat without a battle" -rJ. G. Chapline.
The electric industry which has added untold
wealth to the people of the world and virtually
revolutionized our methods of industry commerce
and domestic life was biiilt by men who were not''
afraid to accept a challenge.
