We wish to eorrect the state-

made by Mr. Cameron Marshall

made for the Howard Payuo

THANKSGIVING

nual football classic of the Mai
Turkey Day. In Abilene the Tex-
as Conference Title will he at
stake as It was list vi.u If the
Yellow laekets can win the title
will ionic to them if the-v do not
it Is hard to tell jnt who will
get It but likely mil rivals the
Cowbojs It will be remembered
with sorrow that last ear the
Cowbojs came to Drowuwond and
can led the Title back to Abilene
and the first Texas Conference
Football pennant was unfurled
oer the Simmons tamptit Can
the mid another pennant to the
one the won last ycni? If they
can beat the Yellow Jackets the
pennant will likely go to them
so the thing for us to il() Is to
pievcnt the pennant from finding
a resting plan- on the Simmons
campus and bring to our own clear
campus
Just think how the pennant
would look flying trom the top of
the Hag pole In front of the Ad-
ministration building Wlnt
could be sweeter than to hae the
title fall into the nest of those
stinging 'Wllou Lit kits and the
pennant iljlng our oin campus'
Nothing but to tli ft at tbe Cow-
bojs and If we win the Champion-
ship we will haw to defeat the
Cowbovs so two birds could be
killed with the same stone In this
ease All would be rosy mound
the Howard Payne campus If the
Jackets can only defeat tho Cow-
hos becauso thev will have
avenged the defeat handed them
last ear bv the Shcepherderrs
have the Texas Conference pent-
nan won and Incidentally hae
settled an old score for of all
teams that the Jack) ts loe to
defeat It Is those Cowhands of
the S LI outfit
So the onl thing to do Is to
get behind the Jackets give hem
emi full Rtippoit lo on the spec-
ial Main to Abilene. YELL from
the time the first whistle blows
until the last one. and gie the
Jaikcts that good OLD HOWAHD
PAYNE SPIRIT so they can de-
feat the Cowbovs bring home the
bacon and Texas Conference
Championship

Four teams are tlul for second
Place in me tJimreronco race
These are Simmons Trinity
Southwestern and St. Kdwards
Ml four of them have a rating
of 50u. St. Kdwards plays no
other game so the other three
teams will have to battle for the
honors
There are only two more con-
ference games to be played this
season Trlnty and Southwestern
will play Nov. 17 and the Yell-
low Jackets will invade the corral
of the1 Cowboys Thanksgiving

great bearing on the conference

game.

When Simmons played Trinity
last week the coach of the Cow-
bojs stated that either Herln
Bounds stellar end of the cowboys
could play In the Trinity game
and help In defeating them and
with this win they would have a
possible chance at the conference
flag or he could stay out and play
against Howard Payne. He took
a vote among the players as to
which It would be and all but
Bounds himself voted for him to
wait for tho Jackets It is with
this spirit that the Cowboys are
going into the game with tbe
Jackets. With this fight and the
over confidence of the students of
Howard Payne the Cowboys are
bound to win the game and keep
us from winning the flag. It will
be remembered that it is always
when we aro on top and have a
chance to win that tbo Cowboys
emerge victors. So let's fight and
fight hard and uot let history re-
peat itself this year.

The city of Wichita Falls is

Usually In the sessions of the

holds tho highest place In tbe

It Is thought that the conven-
tion will consider the conditioft

institution) However nothing Is
known of any plans. What ever

It Is thought that there will
