Today Is The Day
Exes Alumni Welcome I
Today is the day now is the time not for all
men to come to tho aid of their country but for
you to enjoy a full round of homecoming events
scheduled for YOUR day. With the program start-
ing with a pep rally last night the climax will be
reached when the Cowboys clash with the Jackets
on the Ranchers' gridiron.
Homecoming is no longer something to be looked
forward to it is here a reality for you and us.
Everything has been prepared to the nth degree
so that tho day may not become borcsomo at any
time. All that is left to be done is the partaking
of the enjoyment that is in store for all.
Hardin-Simmons is devoting her time and atten-
tion wholly to your wishes and comforts for the
hours you spend on her campus this week-end. If
for any reason anyone's happiness is not complete
it will grieve us greatly but wo are not anticipat-
ing any such situation to dampen the spirit of the
day.
Joyful hours are ahead let's go!
o
They Shall Not Pass
Just a little over two weeks from now we have a
game with the great ( t) Hardin-Simmons Cowboys
to which we have all been looking forward all year.
It is the opportunity of the Jackets to avenge last
year's defeat at the hands of these proud Cow-
hands and we are backing them a hundred per
cent to do it.
Of course we have read in all the papers about
how we arc going to be easy picking for Hardin-
Simmons and how they are going to beat us with-
out any effort at all but somehow that informa-
tion just hasn't been able to penetrate our heads.
Maybe we're just behind the times or something
but we just can't feature any Jacket team handing
a ball game to a Cowboy team on a silver platter.
It is a matter of firm belief with us that no matter
what the final score of our game with Simmons
may be those boys from the cattle ranges will know
that they have met a team of real men and that
they have found out what a real scrap means.
If our boys ever have needed the support of the
student body they will surely need it for this game.
'Of course it will be impossible for us to run a
special train but that doesn't mean for any of us
to get the idea that it will be unnecessary for us
1o go up and back those Jackets. Let's every one
who possibly can make arrangements to get to
Abilene for the game. It shouldn't cost very much
to share expenses in somebody's car and if you
can't rake up that much there's always the high-
way and your thumb's not broken.
To those who find it impossible to go don't loso
interest in the game just because you can't see it.
Talk it up every day between now and then and
let those boys know that you are behind them every
down. Remember how you were taught to "button
up" when you were a freshman and help the
Jackets to BEAT HARDIN-SIMMONS. Ed
Moore in The Yellow Jacket.
n
Ranchers Ride 'Em Hard
Cowboys today you meet Howard Payne on the
gridiron. Those Yellow Jackets are out to sting
the record that has been made this season. You've
got to hold them in check.
Nothing would inflate their bubble of success
more completely than to obtain a victory over
Hardin-Simmons this afternoon. Their student
body will no doubt be rooting for them as they
haven't this fall but so will the Abilene fans be
backing the Cowmen.
Thousands of eyes will be focused on the ball
from the kickoff to the final whistle ; hearts will
be anxious for the score to be in favor of the Ranch-
ers. The exes and alumni will be especially hope-
ful for the result of the melee to place the Univer-
sity on tlie top side of the markers. This is their
game their day and they would not like to see
tlteir team brought down in defeat. Victory is
their cry.
The going will be rough the Wasps may be hard
to corner but the backers of the Purple and the
Gold are expecting the Cowboys to lasso them and
ride on to their seventeenth straight victory.

Hello Folks! Get ready for the
slashing of throats because you
haven't found out who your column-
ist is so he can still shovel up the
dirt mercilessly.
Surprise of the week Bonnie Gab-
ler and Pinky Williams were seen way
out on the dark streets of McMurry
last Friday night. They covered a
lot of territory that night anyhow
because about an hour later they were
seen sipping sodas at the corner!
The chief gripe of the week is why
did they build the bon fire by Smith
hall Instead of between the gym and
Ferguson hall. We are lucky to have
a bon fire on the H-SU campus so
SHUSH!
Triangles nre always interesting. A
new one is Margaret Hall Bullet
Frost and John Hart.
And posies to the two best sports
in H-SU: 1. Football and 2. Prof. Bur-nam.
Bulldog Turner ou came to the
city too late to get the "country" out
of you but you might at least TRY.
People arc tired of your "hick from
the sticks" ways. You may play sec-
ond string center on the football team
but you don't rate near that well on
the campus.
Did you know that Charles West-
brook is one of the most active of the
COWGIRLS? With Frances Wright
he attends all meetings sits with her
in the stands and even lags behind
in parades. So if his name is ever
brought up he's sure to get ONE
vote.
Who gave the freshman class to
Robinson Alexander and Preston?
Other upper classmen wish some one
would give those three to the slimes.

Burns McKinney may be considered
a swell guy and all that stuff but
the campus as a whole regards him as
rude sarcastic and well "JUST

him a book on Emily Post for Xmas.
Someone said that some people just
don't have enough tcliglon to last nil
week so they just display it on Sun-
day. A lot is said about inconsistency
. . . maybe not too much but a lot of
us are not as inconsistent as we seem.
. . . You know in the final analysis
what wc DO is iron-clad evidence of
what we believe. . . . "As a man thlnk-
cth in his heart to do so is he." . . .
No doubt this is conversely true. As
a man docs ... so he thinketh in his
heart. . . .
Suppose I tell a lie . . . that is evi-
dence that I believe that God's world
is so constituted that He will punish
those who tell the truth and reward
the dishonest. . . . Suppose I become
angry. That is irrevocable proof that
though God has taught self control
that I believe that God was wrong in
this teaching nnd that anger is more
profitable than truth. . . . But you say
this mental process never takes place
before one gets nngry. If it does not
then there is a greater evil evidenced.
. . . That in our lives there is a secret
counsellor to whom wo pay more at-
tention than to the voice of Christ.
James said "If a man say he hath
faith and have not works can that
faith save him." . . . And Paul com-
menting on this theme said "For in
Christ Jesus neither circumcision
nvaileth anything nor uncircumcision
availeth anything but faith which
workcth through love." . . . There is
no faith without works our actions
our works are an evidence of our faith.
. . . Just as a fig tree because it is
a fig tree bears figs. . . . The fact
that in our lives is the life of Christ
Jesus should make our lives to bear
fruit for Christ.

Long live the Queen I
To you Florence Neal goes the privilege of
wearing the Silk IJandniin for this weekl
Flossie she is called is a Cowgirl nnd a senior.
She was born in the little town of Wcstbrook and
when small was n very lively child with freckles
across the bridge of her turncd-up nose. Tlieso
same freckles add to her beauty today as one gazes
upon this friendly girl who is five feet five and
has dark brown hair and eyes. She is an ull-rotnid
girl with a charming personality. Her ability to
be dignified and mind her own business is an out-
standing characteristic.
English is her major and she is going to be a
school teacher until the rigltt fellow comes along.
Incidently she likes either blondes or brunettes
with good manners an interesting personality not
too quiet and friendly. Tennis swimming and
football games nre among the sports she enjoys.
Her avocation is making friends and she has many.
Last year Florence was junior favorite nnd for
two years has' been a member of Who's "Who in
American Colleges and Universties. She holds the
office of secretary of both the senior class and the
15. S. U. She was a hostess at Mary Frances last
year and the girls still think she is the sweetest
person on the campus.
She is fond of movies and books and likes des-
serts of all kinds especially pie. Her roommate
thinks she's the best in Mary Frances and says
she never fusses or fights. She sleeps with cream
on her face but she keeps on her side of the bed.
Jean Christopher has something
thnt Ellison liked but no other BOY
seems to care for. Is SHE a one man
girl or nre her associates partly re-
sponsible for her loneliness???
Campus Pulse
Vernon Pettis campus heart-breaker
walked into the CORNER with
LIT! LE DUMMY. One look at Pet-
tis' face was enough to make the
mouths drop open in surprise and
many eyebrows were raised in ques-
tion. Where is Pettis now Lorena??
A shot at EVERYBODY: Tho up-
per classmen this year have nothing
to say about the freshmen. The up-
per classmen have been just too busy
to properly teach and show' the fresh-
men what they need to know. Tho
freshmen have even been heard to
suy they liked HOWARD PAYNE and
others never heard of it.
About this time every year the tiue
shade of character comes to light. Wc
are speaking of those GIRLS in the
University apartments. Those girls
seem to think THEY arc the cream
of the crop but they are sadly mistaken.
We notice tho Pender-Mitchell af-
fair is coming along nicely. A very
suitable couple.
Dear Editor:
"When n senior asks sucli an inane question as
"Why are we having a bonfire!" it's a pitiful sit-
uation. Either someone lias failed to do their duty
in informing the freshmen nnd transfers of the
traditions on the campus or they are too dumb to
catch on.
Perhaps the attitude of this particular student
explains the lack of genuine school spirit on the
campus this year. If so it is high time some of
the better informed students take the situation in
hand and do something about it in nn effective
manner.
And while I'm giving vent to my feelings may I
abk why some of the students here think the dem-
onstration school performances are an insult to
our way of thinking and superior ideals?
Of course 1 realize they are never satisfied witli
anything but when such insinuations as that are
made it shows forth their lack of respect for the
efforts of children. When grammar school stu-
dents put on a program comparable to that given
in chapel Thursday morning they are to he con-
gratulated instead of ridiculed. I dare say that
the general run of college students could not com-
pose a play that would be as good according to
their ability.
Disgusted.

Page One For The Seniors
Fourteen Cowboys play their last time this after-
noon on the Hurdin-Simmons tenm. These fellows
are all graduating seniors and to them this issue
of the Brand is descrvingly dedicated.
The boys have worn the Purple and Gold for at
least two seasons nnd some of them for four. The
school is justly proud of them for their part in
putting her on tlie map not only in the light of
athletics but as a sound school.
No tribute could be too high for these Ranchers
to show them how much they are appreciated by
the student body for without them the team would
not have gone places as it has this season. Praise
has not come from patrons of tlie university but
from various places and sports writers over the
south.
Tlie student body congratulates them on their
playing and type of sportsmanship nnd is more
than pleased with the record they have maintained
throughout tlie season
- Cowboys we're expecting you to write as good
a success story in the future as you have on the
gridiron.
Congratulations to Charlotte Col-
lins Hazel Day Ann Rader and Flor-
ence Neal select beauties of these 40
acres.
Girls of the Bologna family were
seen picking up girls on the corner.
Are they slipping? Won't the boys
ride with them any more?
Thnt sophisticated put-on of Mar-
garet Hall's is getting to the point of

way a big city girl has gone over at
a small time university. Hn! Ha!
How is it up there Margaret lonesome?
A compliment or bouquet in this
column is indeed something to write
home about so here it is. Jane Gracey
actually deserves all the nice things
we have heard said about her.

To the question "What team would

the students seemed to relish giving
their candid opinions. Here are a
few of them;
Mary Lou Ashburn: "I'd like to see
'em play Tech. That would be tho
most enthusiastic and create more in-
terest than any other."
Burncal Scott: "Baylor just to see
how they'd come out."
Dick Gabler: "Tech partly because
of grudge and partly because it would
be a good game."
Charlotte Collins: "Just as soon
they'd meet Baylor as any other I
believe we could beat them."
Melvin Bivens: "Tech in the Sun
Bowl to see them knock their (Tech's)
ears down."
Mary Louise Johnson: "Doesn't
matter just so we meet somebody."
S. T. Briggs; "Texas Tech in the
Sun Bowl."
Iva Dec Koen: "Baylor in the Sun

laugh at my brother-in-law."
Charles Torrence: "Tech so we
could take 'em down."
Amelia Spiers: "Ole Miss (Missis-
sippi State) then they'd know who we
are when I go home."
Bill Taggart: "Montana State eith-
er in Dallas or Fort Worth."
Ruth Cotten: "Just so they play
somebody."
Swede Jarvls: "Tech. I'd like to see
them beat 'em and put 'em in their
place."
Melvin Burgin; "Tech. It ought to
bo a good game."
Robert Murdock: "Fordham bo they
could beat a northern team."
Charlotte Spieler: "I have always
wanted to see them play T. C. U."
Hibbard Polk: "Texas Tech. I think
that is the only way to convince Tech
that the Cowboys can beat them."
Blllie Cotton: "A. & M. because we
nearly beat them once and I want to
see tho Cowboys beat the Aggies."
Wayne Blake: "I'd like to see them
beat Texas Tech."

Scrapbook Scribblings
WHEW!
Sirs:
As A. W. nnd J. M. nre talking about Texas
bands and how good they play and how good other
school bands are 1 would like to make a nomina-
tion of a band of a small university that does not
even claim to have the size student body or chances
thnt these other schools have but I would he will-
ing to bet that they could play circles around anv
S. JL U. T. C. U. Rice or Texas band while they
are trying to piny through one piece of any type
they choose to attempt.
This band is tlie world famous Cowboy band of
Hardin-Simmons university of Abilene. This bond
can sight read which they are noted for play with-
out music which they do while marching and with-
out the assistance of a director. They also piny in
perfect time nnd keep perfect step while marching.
I would also like to sec Hardin-Sinimons and
Texas tangle up on the football field. I feel cer-
tain thnt Hurdin-Simmons would win and play
Texas off their feet because Texas has no pep in
them.
If anyone doubts these statements it would pay
them to go see them and see for themselves. The
Daily Texan.
