Bearkats Take Two
Tilts From Cowboys
(Continued from pge one)
the first few trips.
Perhaps the Cowboys showed some
of the best work of the season in the
first game with the Sam Houston
men in both offensive and defensive
playing. The method of passing
using three men used for the first
time by the Cowboys in their games
with Daniel Baker last week showed
marks of perfection. Their goal
shooting was more perfect and scores
came when the fans least expected
them which at times threatened to
down the Normalites.
A remarkable showing was made
by the Cowboy quintet in the second
half of the game Friday night. A
score of 19 to 10 was built up by the
Kats in the first half and the game
looked to be going in their favor but
when the -second half was still young
the Kate score of 22 was tied by the
Cowboys. It was only after a sud-
den streak of goal shooting that the
visitors were able to walk off the
floor with the score 28 to 25.
By starting off with the same pace
as was exemplified the night before
the Cowboys held the score of the
Kats to a one-p"oint lead in the score
of 9 to 10 the first half. A slump on
the part of the Cowboys in the last
period let the Sam Houston Normal-
ites run the score up to 29 to IB.
Black the small Bearkat forward
was the strong man for his team in
both of the games. When ho got pos-
session of the ball in his territory
the Simmons supporters were held in
cold anticipation until the ball cither
went through the basket or Tolled to
one side after a trip dangerously
near the ring net. Too often did his
pitches prove too close to the bas-
kets for the Cowboys' good for it was
his close shots that enabled him to
tie Pickens for high point honors
and materially aid his team in win-
ning the game. Pickens showed some
of his old-time goal shooting by mak-
ing some of his perfect shots from
mid-court which wero some of the
same thrills given the spectators last
season. Through this method he was
able to tie Black's score of 13 points.
Rumficld Knt center made his ap
pearance as a scorer In the second
game by making a total of 10 points.
Black's unfailing accuracy at pitching
free goal gave him a berth among
the high scorers when his two field
goals would have given him a small
count instead of nino point's he em-
erged with.
Only one man was removed from
'the games on personal fouls. This
was Samuels Sam Houston guard
who was assessed four fouls in the
first game. The game assumed rough
aspects at times but the ball-ups
were present instead of fouls.
The First Game
Two field goals were made by the
Kats before the Cowboys were able
to score. Pickens made the first
counter for Simmons on a field goal
and Kimbrough tied the score 4 and
4 by another goal. A several goal
in quick succession gave Sam Hous-
ton a six-point lead but another two-
point goal by Kimbrough and one by
Foreman brought the score within
two points of their opponents. After
this Sam Houston gained steadily
and tho half ended with the score at
9 to 10 in their favor.
A series of field goals by Pickens
brought the score from 10 to 19 when
the opposing team stood at 22. A
field goal and a foul goal by Kim-
brough tied the score A number of
counters in the last few minutes of
play by Black accounted for six
points of the Bearkats while ' one
more foul goal was all that was made
by the Cowboys in the remainder of
tho game.

Tho Second Game
Simmons opened this game by
playing some real basketball. All of
the men seemed eager to remain ac-
tive nnd some very fast playing en-
sued. Pickens and Kimbrough made
field goals before the opposing team
could get on its feet. By making
field goals Rumficld was able to
make the score a tie for a few min-
utes when both sides were G and G.
Several scores by Pickens kept the
Simmons tallies above the scores of
Sam Houston until Rumfield Lockey
and Black got on another scoring
rampage. It was at this time that
the Bearkats' score mounted to tho
29 mark while tho Cowboys -were un-
able to lift the nnchor which held
them at 15 points.
The visitors had things their way
during the second half. Their offen-
sive drive was not met by very good
defense on tho Cowboy frontier and
several easy shots made scores.

TENNIS PLAYERS ARE
URGED TO COME OUT

ing is Uncurtained
(Continued from page one)
To the tennis "shark" these words
of advice: "Start practicing before the
pun goes down" becauso of three
good reasons:
1. Sweaters may be given to tho
tennis team this year.
2. Numbers of inter-collegiate
games will bo scheduled.
3. Tho college tennis tournament
will bo held near the first of March
nnd from the winners the team will
most likely be selected.
Every ono who is interested in ten
nis is urged to start getting in shape
for the tennis tournament which will
bo held near the first of March and
as an incentive for hard work on tho
court It has been found from a re
liable 'source that sweaters with let-
ters will most likely be presented to
the members of the racket team.
Numbers of games with other col-
leges will be scheduled for it is
planned to have tho tennis team go
with the baseball nine on their
trips so that at the present it seems
that the wicldcrs of the "gut" will
get to make some dozen or more
trips to such places as Howard
Payne Canyon Normal nnd other
schools.
So boys and girls get out on the
courts and bo the ones to make
those trips. Everyone in Simmons
College is a member of tho Tennis
club and tennis is just as important
as some of the other sports so get
your rackets down and make Sim-
mons the championof West Texas for
1925.

GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAMS
ENJOY LUNCHEON AT M. F.
After their game Monday night
tho girls of both tho Simmons and
the Commerce teams had an enjoyable
hour together at Mary Frances. The
occasion was more of a get-together
social. As soon as they arrived the
girls wero shown into tho parlor
where they had music until they were
called to the dining room.
The tables wore set for 24 persons.
This included both teams and their
coaches. Tho Valentine scheme of
decorations was carried out even to
the heart-shaped place cards. Each
plato was served with chicken salad
sandwiches cherry topped potato
chips bread and butter sandwiches
pickles macaroons and hot tea. Four
Freshmen Pat Jenkins lone Cumbie
Lynda Robertson nnd Mac McClain
served the tables.
After the lunch both of tho coaches
and some of the girls mado poppy
speeches; thanks for tho good time
they had had on tho part of the vis-
itors and of welcome and an invita-
tion to return from tho Cowgirls.
At 9: SO Simmons boys came jn cars
and took the visiting team to their
pullman. They left' on the 11:40
tram for Fort Worty.
Merle Ratlin went home for the weekend.
most every European country in many
languages innumerable times al-
though it has had comparatively few
perfbrmances in America and almost
none outsido of the performances al
tho Metropolitan Opera House in New
York where it has always been sung
in Italian. Mr. Hinshaw has clearly
recognized that given in English
with spoken dialogue tho opera will
be highly enjoyable for American
nudiences nnd ho has had a new
libertto made for it in English by Os-
good who has made it into witty up-to-date
English with sparkling dia-
logue and euphocnous singable lyrics.
The opera thereby becomes a comedy
with music brilliant scintillating
music such as only Mozart could
write.
For the cast of "Figaro" the man-
ager has engaged artists of interna-
tional famo most of whom have al-
ready sung tho opera many times in
various European opera houses and
a musical director Ernest Knoch
who has mado a name for himself
as a Mozart conductor.
Tho story of the opera follows:
Tho comedy "Tho Marriage of
Ficraro." was written by Beaumar-
chals as the sequel to his earlier
comedy "The Barber of Seville" and
tho same characters are carried on
with a few now ones added. Figaro
the barber has been rewarded for
his services to the Count Almaviva
in winning tho hand of Rosina who
is now tho Countess Almaviva by
being mado the personal servant of
the Count. Figaro loves Susanna
maid to tho Countess and who is also
tho object of tho ever changeable af-
fections of tho Count nnd it is only
through a mesh of clever intriguq in
which ho Is aided by the Countess and
her page Cherublno that ho is able
to circumvent the Count save Sus-
anna and force tho Count's consent
to tho marriage.1 Basilio music
teacher is the obsequious instrument
of tho Count in his escapades with
women and the Count receives also
aid of Bnrtolo and his housekeeper
Marcellinn 'There are plots and
counter plots which with intrigue and
disguise keep one gupssing and the
audienco is kept in a continuous
stream of laughter when not en-
tranced by tho rapturous strains of
tho music.
Tickets will be placed on sale two
weeks before the performance so that
there may be a full sale of seats This
is the most expensive of the lyceum
courses to be had in Abilene in years
but tickets are at popular prices
est grade given by that institution.
Despite the fact that Mr. Rister
rather Dr. Rister as we should call
him now was offered a position in
George Washington University which
carried a salary 25 per cent larger
than ho is paid at Simmons he re-
turned to Simmons to take up his
work as teacher in the history depart-
ment. He comes back to give him-
self to the building of Simmons and
of West Texas. He is placing his life
where it will bear the largest divi-
dends in terms of Christian char-
acters; not where he will get more
in dollars and cents but where op-
portunities for real service aro tho
greatest He like other members of
the Simmons College faculty loves
Christian education of the typo that
Simmons College is striving to give
to the youth of the West and of tho
world and because of his loynlty to
these principles he is putting forth
every effort to assist in building here
at Simmons Collego ono of tho very
best history departments in the
United States.
The distinction which has come to
Mr. Rister is well exemplified by the
fact that he is the qighth person hold-
ing a Ph. D. degreo to bo connected
with Simmons College since 1900.
Tho Ph. D. is the greatest distinc-
tion in tho field of literary endeavor
and it is never conferred as an hon-
orary degree.-

pace and tho game began to get
rougher. Both teams seemed to con-
sider all tactics fair and fouls wero
called frequently until the referee
decided that it was useless and began
to call only the most flagrant viola-
tions of the rules. As tho fighting
spirit of the Cowgirls nroso they wore
able to tie the score gaining tho lead.
From this period on the game was
all Simmons; due to tho stellar
work of tho Simmons guards tho
only point scored by tho teachers
came as a result of a free pitch. Tho
work of tho entire team "from Sim-
mons on tho other hand" grew bet-
ter as the game continued; and they
