SPORTSMANSHIP IN CHAPEL
Sportsmanship can ho and should be practiced at all times and at
all places. Many times sportsmanship and manners arc the same tiling
or at least closely related this is especially true so far as sportsmanship
and manners in chapel arc concerned.
According to an old proverb "Manners make the man." By our
use of good manners we qualify ourselves to be placed in a class with
those people who are cultured and refined; by using good manners vo
brand ourselves with a label that reads: "This"is a rube. He has no edu
cation. He has no refinement. He is an object of pity because he cannot
learn from going to school and associating with cultured people how to
conduct himself in places where good manners are essential."
.Those who choose to be good sports by using good manners frequently
get chances to show their sportsmanship in chapel. Very often there is
a distinction made between the sheep and the goaW in chapel. Those who
conduct themselves in a cqurteous orderly manner when the program is
not exactly what they like are the sheep; those who giggl and shout their
whispers of dislike arc the goats. By the conduct of the goats visitors
judge the whole group of students. It is very unkind to make unfavorable
impressions in the presence of the entertainer and no good sport would
think of being so disorderly and uncultured. Those who are rude enough
to bo disorderly during chapel or any other program for that matter
and express their dislike for such programs place themselves in the class
with tlie dumb brutes for 'the dumb brutes are not expected to appreciate
artistics creations while collcgo men and women arc expected if they find
themselves unable to enjoy the entertainment to keep such a weakness
to themselves. It is truly a weakness not to be able to appreciate artistic
creations sermons included. It is a crime etiquctticaily speaking to
make known to others your dislike especially if such declarations arc
likely to disturb the entertainer or speaker.
Before criticizing the chapel programs one should remember that
the task of getting five programs a week is a rather difficult one. Since
Simmons is a denominational school founded on religious principles one
should expect a lot of moral lectures. They hae never been known to
hurt any one but tlie good they have done cannot be measured. These
programs are provided to promote the welfare of the students and stu-
dents who arc good sports always conduct themselves in a manner that
is most becoming to college men and women.
There is no one who would not like to be called a good sport. To
be a good sport anywhere one must be a good sport everywhere that
includes chapel. What about being better sports in chapel?
PANSY GARDNER.
LOYALTY
Since there is a lot of truth in the slogan "What Texas makes makes
Texas" every loyal Texan should try to support Texas industries in so
far as it is possible for him to do so by buying things that ore Texos
grown and Texas made.
Governor-elect Ross S. Sterling is of the opinion that if alUTexas
people would start patronizing Texas industry and using Texas products
complaints of unemployment and business depression would soon be lost
and forgotten in the hum of Texas industry.
In his appeal to the people of Texas to patronize Texas industry
Mr. Sterling said "Most Texas products are as good as any in ever)
respect as similar commodities shipped in from other states. In such
cases loyalty to Texas industry would work in favor of Texas made
articles even under normal business conditions. But with thousands of
jobless men and needy families fairness to Texas labor demands that
it be given tlie trade. There arc numerous industries throughout the state
that could employ thousands more workers if their products were suf-
ficiently fnvored." Some of the products that Mr. Sterling listed thu
are Droduced and manufactured in Texas are food stuffs wearing amiarel.
hardware building material furniture utpnsils and numerous other
articles. Mr. Sterling believes and
tlie financial difficulties of the Texas
least greatly reduced if the people
lexus products this appeal is nemg made especially to women because
women do most of the purchasing for the family. Mr. Sterling continued
to say that a reminder should he all that a patriotic Texan should need
at this time.
Tho size and extent of the state of Texas enables the Texas people lo
produce some of almost everythinc that the ordinary family needs. Mr.
Steiling is taking a noble step when
loyal to lexas industry and ever) loyal lexan should co-operate with
the different officials who are carrying on this home product campaign
by buying the Texas products. Since 'This Evei of Texas Are Upon" us
and'since wo can promote the welfare of the state in general by so doing
let us bv loal lo our stale by buying home products.
' ' PANSY GARDNER.
FOOTBALL
Everybody is saving "Well football is over."
Tho question is whether or not
answer is not so bad.
Our outstanding performance was
tie game. After that game it seems we went into tieing fever but then
ties are-not so bad. A tie is considered better than a loss any day.
Naturally some of the wolves have started howling around but the
tiling to do is turn a deaf ear to their wails and let 'cm howl 'till they
get tired and quit.
A coach can't take a group of players and the first year win everything
in tlie country. That is what some people think about coaches. They
give them one or maybe two years und then if the team doesn't win all
contests1 start looking around for a new man. Not even Knute Rqckne

Ferguson Bullers
Well Folks wo didn't exactly get
what we wanted To go to Tech in but
what could bo nicer than starting out
at 2:30 in tho morning and coming
back at 2:30 A.M. ono day later1
and what a day it WAS.
First we get up in tho middle of
the night to meet tho earliest morning
date in existence. Perhaps some of
these cocds had to make a change
with an intermission of about fifteen
minutes such as wo predict will be
the case in the tri-anglo affair at
Smith Hall. Then to enjoy nice dark
ride only to bo shortly interruptedly
a rising sun. Of course we all en-
joyed seeing those Cowboys down tho
Matadors but what we really looked
forward to was another night of re-
alized dreams.
. Well Folks if you don't enjoy this
the Ferguson Bullers have nothing in
the line of modern romance to offer.
Well following through from one
thing to another wo have been able
to cast more light on the real prob-
lems of our famed "Travelling Par-
son." First he fails to visit Miss.'
This year next ho cries at a pep meet-
ing and now he takes HEIl picture
down. Figure this out for your-
self. Lacy seems to believe that old
adage "Absence makes the heart
grow fonder." Ho is now eating at
the University Inn for n whole
WEEK.
Now what do you think about some
of our most talented young men try-
ing to repeat some of the high points
of American history illustrative of
the California Gold Rush back in the
old days. At least that is nil I could
gather from the name.
Slime Tittle from Mcrkel says ho
does not believe in the old saying of
"Say it better with flowers."
The Ferguson Bullers were hosts to
the Junior Class Thursday night. Wc
think this is a real good idea of some-
body's. You see it saves us time and
that long walk clear across tho cam-
pus. They got along quite nicely I
think with the exception of being
troubled with darkness and a good
time was had by all.
I hear that even Henry Dixon has
considered seriously of "chumping
off" and going to Tech. What will
happen next?
nttipl- rlnv wllftn n PVnalimnn nebntl
my why I didn't over have any dates.
And now stop and consider some of
Mr. Ballard's problems: They tell me
of a Spanish class he meets with
every day consisting of Joe Bcal
Fred Swank and Babe Ribble.
Have all of you good folks noticed
how pouular one of our players has
become since ho did such a good job
of starring. Where was the confused
old uncle after the play.

Slimes Slipping 8

Having smeared Tech and cran-
berry sauce over West Texas Thurs.
day wo fold our hands and try to
keep from thinking of dead week.
Mcthlnks if one ever needs life it's
during dead week.
FASHION NOTE
The little green caps have all been
laid away never to be worn again
officially. And to think three girls
actually forgot and wore theirs yes-
terday. Well slimes the wearing of
the green isn't stylish after Thanks-
giving. Tho girls in Smith and Mary Fran-
ces aro keeping the home "fires"
yearning by writing many letters.
Thero is a beaten track from the
bookstore to the halls. These people
that come out with a smug look on
their faces and a Handful of letters
are courting disaster at the hands of
those who are empty-handed.

It Is becoming a regular thing ta
see Pat Booth emerging from the
bookstore with u box of candy from
someone somewhere. What a break
for her roommate!
.... Gideon is displaying chrys-
anthemums this week. Somebody
raided someone's flower garden in
the dark of the moon.
Two freshman girls Margie Grimes
and Loree Guffcy have turned radio
artists and they jar the atmqgpherc

From the score in the Canyon gnmo
tho Cowboys did nbout as well as any-
one could expect. About all the Buffs
accomplished was to spoil Steve's
beauty.
At least one good reason why cops
should not be allowed to ride on spe-
cials has been found. One victim tes-
titles that he was struck by n gun
hung on an officer's belt when the
officer walked down tho aisle.
Tho truth about camel hair coats
has also come to light. Their popu-
larity is due to tho fact that they aro
really raccoon coats that have been
pulled green.
Girlsl Girlsl Mustn't tease your
hostess. Besides it isn't nice to tako
the slats out of her bed.
Third floor of M.F.II. must bo
haunted. You can never tell when all
kinds of screams and groans will
break loose.
Much has been said and songs have
been sung nbout "Three o'clock in the
morning" but it remains for a bunch
of real Cowboy fans to make 2:10
Thanksgiving morning famous.
Two ten is such n good timo to go
to bed that Cop or Mr. Cagle will
probably have to call us.
Will Itogeri' remark that lie knew
why Englishmen drank tea after he
had tasted their coffee may be truo
enough says Johnnie who adds that
he knows why Americans drink cof-
fee after tasting our ten.
If you have noticed that our friend
the traveling parson had an extra
smile hung over his usual disguise
this week its all because tho llttlo
girl down on the big river passed
through our fair city this week.
"
Friends who mourned with us last
week over tho loss of Smith Hall's
Julius will be quite overjoyed to hear
of his return.
In order to avoid further worry to
his adopted family Miss Speck will
insist that Julius Bign out for theso
extended leaves of absence.
Duo to unforeseen difficulties the
organization of tho 49 club has been
postponed indefinitely. No use to try
to qualify this term boys there will
be time enough for nil.
If the cold weather brings out many
more fur coats the moths can look
forwnrd to health and prosperity dur-
ing the coming summer.
Due to the fact that tho college
physician had no timo for patching
up additional patients tho proposed
Junior.Soph football game will not
be allowed. Thus another Red Grange
may lose a chance to star.

Dramatic Moments
"The most dramatic moment to mo'
says Prof. Nelson A. Hutto "was
in 1022. Fivo hundred students (a
large majority of tho student body)
had gone to Brownwood to witness the
Cowboys in what sport writers bd
licved n hopeless battle. The Jackets
were favorites by 20 points.
"Simmons Bcorcd early on n pass
to Barficld and II. P. scored in the
second quarter on n broken field
weave by Grndy. Simmons missed
goal and Howard Payno converted.
Both wore so closo tho crowd had
to watch the referee's hands to know
whether the extra point had been
made.
"Seven minutes to play. Sim-
mon's ball oa Howard Payne's 30-
yard line. Fourth down six to go.
Kimbrough drops back to drop kick.
Will he make it? Fivo hundred Sim-
mons fans arc litcrAlly breathless
hoping yet not daring to hopo. Tho
freshman quarterback receives the
pass from center drops tho oval and
gives it n lusty boot from the ground.
High and wide it sails. Missed: No.

The scoro is 0-7. AndsSimmons has
a clean record in tho T. I. A. A. a

history from Howard Payno.
"The gamo ended 16-7 because after
