SLIME-SOPH FRAY IS
SCHEDULED FOR TODAY
BOTH TEAMS HAVE DEEN AT
WORK SEVERAL DAYS
AND ARE READY.
The Simmons College student body and
local fans will have the privilege of wit-
nessing one of the most interesting and
amusing gridiron contests of tho season
when the "Fish" and "Sophs" stage their
annual football combat on Parramore field
Friday afternoon.
Both teams are composed of practical-
ly inexperienced pla)crs and haye had very
little real practice and complications will
occur. These together with "jellybean"
formations and ridiculous signals will af-
ford the spectators plenty of merriment.
From one standpoint the Fish will have
decidedly the advantage over their oppon-
ents. From the first cening they nave
practiced they have had enough material
tor two squads and have used it to good
advantage in scrimmage work. On the
other hand the Sophomores havo never
been able to get out more than fifteen
men and havo only eighteen who are elii-
ible to play.
In still another way the Fish have the
advantage. They have a man who can
make from thirty-five to forty-five yards
on most ccry punt whereas the man who
will punt against him falls far below that
average.
The Freshmen having a light team ex-
pect to conduct their offense along the
aerial line and around the ends. They
have two light fast ends and an excellent
passer iri the latter respect they ogain
have the advantage. On tho other hand the
Sophs have a heavy team that is not quite
so fast and they expect to use this extra
weight to good advantage. Under the
coaching of Johnny Camp star fullback
of the "varsity" squad the Sophs are de-
t eloping soroo terrific line plungers. Ray-
mond Mel fancy center for the Varsity
squad is coaching the Fish.
The probable line for the Fish will be
Carver and Bcasley ends Jackson and
Boles tackles Cahill and Robinson guards
Ault center Copes ond Christian halves
Burkelt full and Price quarter.
The line-up for Sophomores is still in
doubt the only men who aro sure of their
positions are Eplin at quarter and Yeatts
at center.

COMEDY BY WALTER BEN HARE
PROMISES TO BE FILLED
WITH FUN.
"The Adventures of Grandpa" written
by Walter Ben Hare a play of successive
laughs to be presented by the Dramatic
Club in Simmons Auditorium Dec. 13
promises to bo tho most interesting fea-
ture of the first term.
'The play is a comedy written especially
for College Dramatic Clubs. It's a play
full of laughs and puts everyone in joy-
6us attitude for Christmas. This Is writ-
ten purely for entertainment and amuse-
ment and is "Guaranteed under the Pure
Fun Laws."
The play before being presented to the
public will bo given before the Dramatic
Club Tuesday eve. Pansy Hopscotch's
emoluments take up unusual space and
mocs from side to side in rhyhtmic man-
ner Cico Motes as Marie Ribcau plays
unusually well as a French maid. The
despair of Monte and grouches of Tod
Hunter present a wintery forecast while
officer McCormick sees his duty and does
it. Dorothy May shows the changeableness
of woman by being converted to mankind
while Lucy Hunter displays charity in af-
fections thereby promoting "the eternal
triangle." "Grandpa" is quarantined
against his wishes but shows a "loving dis-
position" although angry at times with
Tod Hunter the French cook. Cloompy
dense and clumsy affords much laughter.
Beautiful costumes and attractive stage
sittings will add mucli to the performance"
The characters arc untiring in their ef-
forts says Miss Hobgood to make the
play a success The cast has been well
chosen and is as follows:
Grandpa Truett Hull.
Monte (his grandson) Fred Eastham.
Dorothy May Ruth Norwood.
Lucy Hunter Wanda Siddall.
Tod Hunter Louis Hunter.
Marie Ribeau Cico Motes.
Cloompy (just over from Copenhagen)
Dosslo Kuykendall.

rice Berry.
PRES. SANDEFER GOES
TO STATE CONVENTION
President J. D. Sandefer departed Mon-
day night for Dallas where he will attend
Upon the duties of the opening of the Tex-
as State Baptist Convention which was due
lo haye opened Thursday morning. Com-
mittee meetings were being held in the
early part of the week and it was neces-
sary that President Sandefer be on hand
to attend to various matters current with
these.
It will bo recalled that Dr. Sandefer
was unanimously chosen president of the
state convention in its session in. El Paso
last fall. Probably the highest honorary
office in the store of the Texas Baptists

and has earned the appreciation that his
fellow churchmen have bestowed upon
him. '
The convention was scheduled to meet
on Thursday morning for its opening meet-
ing. At the time of going to press no
details could be obtained by the Brand
but indications are that the present meet-
ing will be the livest and best attended

PROR BOND DEIVERS
INTERESTING. TALK ON
'KNOWLEDGE' IN CHAPEL
KNOWLEDGE OF CHRIST IS
FORTIFYING ANEr IN-
SPIRING. "The knowledge that is fortifying and
inspiring is the knowledge of Christ" said
Mr. Bond when he spoke in chapel Wed-
nesdanesday morning on "Knowledge."
"There are various kinds of knowledge"
he said.
"Someone has said':
'He who knows and knows he knows
He is wise follow him;
He who knows and knows not he knows
He is asleep wake him;
He who knows not ond knows not he
knows not
He is a fool shun him.'
"There is undesirable knowledge.
'Knowledge is power' is half true and half
a lie. In the 'Marts of Men'" Mr. Bond
continued the author pleads for ignorance
of evil. There is a knowledge that will
cripple will ruin a man's life.
"Among these are indulgence intem-
perance and ignorance.
"There is undesirable knowledge in su-
perficial things. Don't be satisfied with
teaching surface of things. There is de-
sirable knowledge. You should know
books; you should know men world af-
fairs and know yourself if you can. 'Know
thyself.' In every man there is a conti-
nent of undiscovered possibilities. Happy
is he who acts Columbus to his own soul."
"It is well for us to recognize one truth
that our knowledge at very best is im-
perfect." We must learn all through life.
We can never know the future we can
never know God's mind. There is some
knowledge that is impossible.
"Our knowledge must necessarily be im-
perfect. Imperfect knowledge will pass
away and we will know in full some day.
"We should know nature. Life must
be inspired if it would do its best." Ho
told of the inspiration gained from read-
ing lives of great men. To have the con-
fidence of others is worth striving for.
"Knowledge that is fortifying and in-
spiring is knowledge of Christ" he con-
tinued. "No man can do what he should
unless he has Christ. President Wilson
said 'The most inspiring thing in the
world is Christianity.' "Wo should have
the knowledge liko Paul who said "I
Know Him in whom I have believed and
am persuaded that He Is able to keep that
which I have committced unto Him against
that day." Through this knowledge only
comes the fullest and greatest life."
ORCHESTRA RENDERS
GOOD CHAPEL PROGRAM
Appearing for the second time this year
the Simmons Orchestra took over the chap-
el exercises Saturday morning and ren-
dered a very appreciative program to the
faculty and students.
The entire student body gave the Or-
chestra 'a hearty welcome as they came up-
on the stage and the atmosphere created
by the students seem to make every mem-
ber of the Orchestra determine to be worthy
of the applause.
The program consisted of three numbers
the Orchestra opening with a "Medly of
Opera Airs" which included short airs
from three different operas. The second
number "Raymond Overture" by A.
Thomas. The third number "Barcarole"
"Tales of Hoffman" concluded the pro-
gram.
Again tho assembly gave the orchestra
' as warm applause as they had given it on
previous occasions making it known they
were always more than welcome '

VARSITY CLOSES SEASON WITH
GOOD PROSPECTS FOR NEXT YEAR
JUNIORS ENJOY SOCIAL
AT REGULAR MEETING
SHAKESPEARES DEVELOP AS.A
RESULT OF HUMOROUS
CONTESTS.
The Juniors in their last regular meet-
ing enjoyed a social in connection with
their regular business meeting at the home
of Miss Dorothy Compere secretary of the
class.
Members of the class gaihered at Mary-
Frances Hall together with tho chapcrones
Mr. and Mrs. Carswell and from there
they proceeded to the car line and board-
ing a car went in a body to the home of
Miss Compere.
With President John Alvis presiding the
business session was made short and snap-
py. Reports were heard fiom the Social
and Athletic Committees. It was decided
that in case they received a challenge from
(lie Seniors to a football game they would
be prepared so a captain for the probable
team was selected. It was decided fur-
ther to have teams of both men and women
in basket-ball. The Social committees re-
port was accepted their plans were to have
a "Candy Pulling Party" in the near fu-
ture. A delightful social hour followed the
business meeting. The feature of the oc-
casion was in the form of a song entitled
"Ma" which made a hit with Messrs.
Mahon and Alvis. Slips of paper were
passed out and each one was required to
write a sentence and then a noun. These
were collected and redistributed. A con-
test followed in writing Verse. Short verses
were composed from the sentences and us-
ing the nouns which resulted in the dis-
covery of several rivals of "Shakespeare."
Refreshments were served consisting of
hot chocolate and cake.

ing else to do but come back.

PUBLICATION0 EXCHANGE
WITH MEXICAN UNIV.
LETTER FROM NATIONAL IN-
STITUTION THERE GAUSES
THE DECISION.
To exchange college- publications with
Old Mexico University is tho intention of
the exchange' department of Simmons as
the result of a letter recently received
from the exchange department of the Na-
tional University of Mexico Mexico City
according to Mr McAllister.
The writer stated that the exchange
would like to have the annual and any
other such publications as are put out
by Simmons. Among the publications of-
fered in exchange the "Balletln de Meis-
tro" a teachers' bulletin was mentioned.
Many who are interested fii publications
from other colleges express themselves as
being anxious to see the productions from
this unusual source.

THREE FIRST STRING
MEN WILL GRADUATE
HULL TABOR AND HOWERTON
ONLY MEN WHO WILL
NOT RETURN.
SEVEN GAMES ARE SCHEDULED
Two-Year Contracts Bring .Import-
ant Games to Local Field
Next Season.
Again silence has settled over the Cow
boy football camp. No more does the
staccato voice of Veagcr cut the air. No
more does the yelp of the little halfback
Tabor Ting out as he hits the line. Nor
can the thud of the bail as it strikes the
pitted arms of Hull and Jacobson resound
on the local gridiron.
Yes all is silence on the Parramore
Field gridiron as far as the Varsity is
concerned. The rushing of the first and
second squads has given away to the hur-
rying feet of the underclassmen in eager
preparation for their post-season inter-
class games.
As a machine the Varsity squad is
gone. Probably never again will the
eleven men who. have composed the first
squad have on a uniform together. They
have answered the last call the call to
'dissemble never to fight for each other
and the Varsity again.
Although smothered in defeat in the
last three games two of which were an-
ticipated in early season as victories the
Cowboy squad has passed through the
most successful season that the college has
ever known. Playing ten games with the
liest teams of three states they have romp--cd
away to six victories amassing a total
of 110 points to their opponents 93.
One characteristic of the squad has been
especially marked. They haye made no
attempt to pile up a score against oppon-
ents the highest score being made against
New Mexico Military the opening game
lof the season in which the team romped
jaway with the better part of a 35-0 count.
In the remaining games the tendency has
Ibeen only toward defense which held suc-
cessfully until the concluding game when
Howard Payne forward passed her way
to a 28-0 win. Save for this defeat the
(defense has stood fairly successful and
has been the winner more than the loser.
The outlook for the squad of next sea-
son is the brightest that have yet been
iscen for a future season. With eight
and possibly nine of the first eleven 're-
'turning for the next season. Coach Hays
will not experience the difficulty that has
been his this season with new material.
Coming from John Tarleton at the begin
ning of the training season Hays was al-
together unacquainted with the work of
any man with the exception of Camp
and surpassed all expectations by putting
into the field the team that he did.
Tabor Hull and Howerton are Jisted
among the number who will not return
next season. Tabor will have completed
his four years in athletics at the close
of the spring term and will be ineligible
for further participation. Hull will prob-
ably be listed among the graduates as
will also Howerton. Howerton however
is a summer senior and can postpone
his summer work until next fall but will
not likely do so.
Jacobson Barfield Brashear. McIIaner.
Burk Yeager Camp and Dillingham are
the eight who are to be in the first line-up
again next year. Each of these has been a
member of the first eleven and with them
returning the outlook can easily be reck-
oned as bright. Each has won a name

SIMMONS STUDENTS
FORM CLUB AT UNIV.
A letter received recently from Miss
Nena Kate Ramsey graduate with last
year's Senior Class announces the organ-
ization of a Simmons club among the ex-
students and Taylor county persons now
attending Texas University. The club was
organized sometime ago with Harry Duke
as president and Miss Ramsey as reporter.
All persons from Taylor county were
admitted to the club even though they
had not attended Simmons with the pur-
pose of enabling a broader field being
given to the members of the Simmons or-
ganization. An enrollment of nearly
thirty has already been reached.
The club met with Mr. and Mrs. Rich-
ardson on Nov. 19 for a get-together meet-
ing. An entertaining time was had by all
members. Prof Richardson it will be re-
membered is doing advanced study in the
University and is away on leave of ab-
sence from his post as head of the history
department here. The Richardsons have
been selected as chaperones. An excerpt
from Miss Ramsey's letter follows:
"We have extended the membership of
tho club to those who dive in Taylor coun-
ty and have not attended any other col-
lege. "The club met with Mr. and Mrs Rich-
ardson Saturday night Nov. 19. They
entertained with a very informal affair.
We made candy and played a number of
get-together games.
"The club meets once each month. I
suppose tljere are at least twenty or thirty
members. Mr and Mrs. Richardson are
our chaperones.
"We just wanted it known at Simmons
that we are all 'Simmonites' through and
through and that we are backing Sim-
mons to the last."
