WITH THE PLEDGES
OF ALPHA DELTA PI
Friday night, after the Southwestern
quintet had defeated the Baylor team,
the Southwestern girls' basketball team
completed the end of a perfect day by
defeating the Waco High School girls
by a score of 16 to 9.
The Waco girls showed lots of fight
and pep, but the University girls prey-
ed too strong for them. The ball was
kept in Southwestern's territory most
of the time. The S. U. girls started
scoring right at the beginning, and nev-
er did lose their lead, ending the first
half with the score standing at 11 to 5.
Although the Southwestern girls
were handicapped by the illness of one
of their best players, they won an easy
victory. Miss Dienst, S. U. forward,
- scored fourteen of the sixteen points.
She threw six successive free goals and
four field goals. The Waco girls threw
only two field goals and five free goals.
The girls' team has been practicing
steadily, beginning last term, and under
the efficient coaching of Doyle Farring-
ton, "have developed into a team that is
hard to beat. Games have been sched-
uled and in the near future the team
will make a trip, playing games with
the T. W. C. and S. M. U. teams.
The line-up for Friday night's game
is given below: ' <
Southwestern—Temple, center; Gra-
ham, sitje center; Dienst and Kersey,
forwards; Lee and Abbott, guards.
' Waco High—rClark, center; Carle, side
center; Cluck and Corbin, forwards;
Gaines and McKethan, guards.
Substitutes — Gillett for Temple,
Hchulz for Graham, Sutherland for Lee,
Prestige for Gaines, 8urgener for Coir-
bin. Referee, Hawk.

The Gates-King home was the scene
of. a- gay party Saturday night. Al-
though the ministerial students, with
only -four exception^ failed to avail
themselves of the privilege of bringing
ladies to the party, there was no lack of
life and fun. ■ \
The party might, like a play, be di-
vided into acts, of whieh there were
Hil
then seven.

In Act I the characters arrive, to bt
for a while entertained by Victrola
music, managed by Bufus. Among the
most prominent guests were Dr. and
Mrs. Gray, Mr. and Mrs. Harwell, and
Mr. and Mrs. Sharbntt.
Act II was a test of how good the
guests were * * feeling." A waiter bear-
ing twenty-nine useful articles covered
by a napkin was submitted to each con-
testant for one minute, and he listed
the articles identified in that time. The
one getting the highest number was
given as a reward an extra hand of a
clock.
Aet III was an examination, by touch,
of the remains of a mysterious and vir-
tuous cat which had been preserved in
alcohol. The various members of the
' " animal were passed about under a
sheet, their course being easily traced
by the gruesome noises made by the
experimenters.
A novel spelling match next occupied
the guests. The* words nsed were prop-
er names, and eaeh speller had to think
of a word beginning with the final letter
of the last word given.
After the spelling mateh there was a
severe contest in creative, art. The
prize was taken by a saucy pig made
by Foy Thomas. The plastie material
nsed is a secret, bnt the prize was a
package of gnm.
: However, the closing game of the se-
ries was one which would have delight-
ed a sophist's heart. The score was
kept by peas, and when anyone was
made to say "yes" or "no," he lost a
pea. Rnfns got twenty, bnt he must
have matched Sharbntt's kid for them,
so the prize went to Mr. Harwell.

The Megaphone is in receipt of the
following letter from Gayle Wdlarop,
who is now in Columbia:
Dear Editor:
The last issue of your paper to come
to come to the hearts of the two for-
mer editors in New York is an 'issue
that is well written and ably edited.
The former holders of the editorial tri-
pod and the blue pencil, congratulate
you upon your success. Mr. straw of
430 West 118th Street, who has not
been receiving your paper, is very com-
plimentary in his remarks.
These are great and testing weeks—
exam weeks of the first term. Despite
this fact the attractions oi New "YorK
are many and compelling. And how
are the mighty fallen! Henry Straw
is following the journalistic tendency
inspired by The Megaphone and his ar-
my experience in Paris. He is always
^ present at any function that he chooses
to attend, whether at the Biltmore, the
Commodore, the Waldorf-Astoris or
Hotel Astor. He represents the Colum-
bia Spectator when President Butler
speaks, the Press at other times, and
again he writes the presiding officer or
the chief speaker, William Jennings
Bryan for an example, and asks to be
admitted to the gallery of the Grand
Ball Boom, where the functions are
often held. * ' , •_.
We heard Senators Johnson and Beed
th« 19th in their barrage and attacks
on the League, which seems to have in-
fluence with Lodge as a result, since he
has terminated the compromise pro-
ceedings.^ - . . VvS_
Wednesday "evening 1 made my debut
in Grand Opera, with Caruso singing in
"La Juive." My appearance with this
great artist was not noted in the pa-
pers, due, probably,, to the fact that I
did not have a singing part. I was
only a soldier or a church dignitary, I
haven't decided yet. One tinte I car-
ried a sword and another time a church
banner, and I wore the same costume
each time. The seeing behind the
scenes in the capacity of a "supe" was
most interesting and instructive.
Thursday afternoon, and last night
for the second time, we heard Sir Oliver
Lodge. He is a very earnest and cin-
cere believer himself in the survival
and communication' cff spirits but has no
proof of it that is scientific—he has
only experienced it himself. His first
lecture on "The Reality of the Un-
seen" was mnch like a fine sermon or
poetic effusion on the words of Words-
worth in his "Ode on Imitations of Im-
mortality.". Last night he gave a re-
view of the different ways in which the
spirit reveals itself when the veil is

sorority hall scene for sur-
prise party of Progres-
sive "42'
Saturday evening at seven-thirty the
pledges of Alpha Delta Pi entertained
some of their friends and the chapter
members with a surprise party of pro-
gressive "42." Various other games were
played by those who did not care for the
dominoes.
The Sorority hall was beautifully dec-
orated in flowers, ferns and the Sorority
colors. One feature of the decoration,
which met the approval t>f all, was the
corner where thfe punch bowl was the
center of attraction for the sandwich
baskets. The sandwiches were in order
during the entire evening, while the
punch bowl was called upon between
games.
After seven or eight games had been
played, each one was given a little paper
napkin on which was the Alpha Delt
coat-of-arms in gold. These were the
forerunners of tutti-frutti cream and
Lady Baltimore cake. ,
Those present were: Mesdames Wade
d. Hall and A. W. Sillure. Misses Bcrna
Sillure, Ruth Hall, Margaret Harkev,
Lucille Dickard, Eunice Eiilson, Olive
Williams, Mary Presnall, Alice Robert-
son, Eleanor Phillips, Irene Cheeves,

NEW ORGANIZATION
GIVES Y. M. PROGRAM
patton and gibbs represent
ministerial association
sunday evening
Last Sunday evening the "Y" pro-
gram was given by the ministerial stu-
dents. Mr. Earl J. Patton spoke from
his own personal experience upon the
life and requirements of a minister. He
bronght out in strong terms the type of
obligations onto of this calling has to
meet, and showed the necessity of bus-
iness ability for the administration of
a' church.
Tom Gibbs gave a short talk npon the
purpose of the Ministerial Association
in Southwestern. He gave what he
considered its eanse for being, its right
to exist, and its hopes for use and ser-
vice.
About twenty-five students were pres-
ent. " -
tal faculties, the guests were glad of
the reinforcements whieh arrived in the
form of delieious chocolate and cake.
Mrs. Kates and Mrs. King are cer-
tainly treasures, if the party is a wor-
thy sample of their skill and ability.
Quite a little disappointment was felt
at the Annex this week-end when Miss
Kuykendall did not return, as the whis-
per had lwen buzzing around that she
"was goivg to slipi in on us any day."
Such a whisper that cannot be sup-
pressed is founded merely on anxious
expectancy of the girls. Hopes must
become actuality to them. Miss Kuy-
kendall will return when all the cases
of "flu" in the Annex are well, be-
cause in her weakened condition she
could not endanger herself to this dis-
ease. So girls, hnrry and get well!
As The Megaphone goes to press the
news comes that Miss Kuykendall will
return to Southwestern today.

Girls Express College Ideals—Sara
Shaw Gains New Nickname.
The Y. W. C. A. Cabinet met in open
session last Wednesday afternoon and
it was an enjoyable occasion for all
present. After the devotional, led by
Helen Oatman, slips of paper and pen-
cils were distributed and everybody
began to think hard to find out just
what her ideal college student is like.
The reading of tliqse afforded a deal of
interest and were convincing .that
Southwestern girls have high ideals.
Miss Oatman then rose, seemingly to
say,'' That is all,'' but instead she told
of a woman at Hollister whom every-
one called the "ice cream of the con-
ference," because she had spoken to
them on an occasion when they had
been offered a pleasant surprise. "We
will now have our ice cream," Helen
said, and 8ara Shaw closed the program
by singing that dainty selection, "• A

BROOKS PRIZE MEN
Pearcy and Thomson to Represent
Alamo in Debate
The Y. W. C. A. program Sunday
evening was typical of the idea of
World Fellowship. The subject was
'' V ision and Opportunity,'' and Hildred
Carter, as leader, opened the service
with a beautifully phrased description
of the life of the great Prince who came
into the world so long ago and gave to
the few who would receive it the won-
derful vision which has lasted through-
out the ages only to become brighter
and clearer each day. To those who
possess this vision of light and life and
happiness there comes the special op-
portunity of showing it to others whose
vision is darkened by ignorance and
sin. Though often trampled in the
dust the torch has never gone out, and
we must keep it forever burning—"Af-
ter it, follow it, follow the gleam."
Beryl Knickerbocker and Martha
Ragsdale then played a very appropri-
ate piano duet, after which Opal Gard-
ner told something of our opportunities
of carrying our vision into foreign
lands. There is sore need of doctors,
teachers, social workers—men and wom-
en of every profession, for physical
hunger must be satisfied before there
can be any desire for the satisfaction
of spiritual hunger. There is 6uch long-
ing among the unchristianlzed people
that the little children will slip out at
night without the permission of their
parents just to go to the mission school
and hear a little of the story of Christ's
love for mankind.
There is no greater opportunity comes
to the college girl than that of carrying
the torch to those of other lands. Can
she do a greater thing than respond to
this opportunity?
The thought of the entire program
was effectively summed up iti Frances
Wright's interpretation of that beauti-
ful song, "The Ninety and Nine."

notes from the ministerial
association
The men were very glad to have Dr.
Gray -to talk to them. In kind, gentle,
and direct words, he expressed his in-
terest in the organization, and pointed
out some of the possible dangers of the
association if it were too much restrict-
ed in name, membership, and activity.
He spoke of the centenary and the
mission in Passo Fundo, and of an or-
ganization which he called The Texas
Students' Brazil Mission, which is a
league of Methodist students in the
Universities and colleges of Texas sup-
porting a college and contributing to a
school in Brazil. He said that by con-
sent of the Methodist church our cen-
tenary collection was to go to the sup-
port of this mission.
Dr. Gray stressed the necessity of

Friday night Southwestern and Bay-
lor met on the basketball court in a
one-sided affair. The superiority of
the Pirate quintet was manifested in
the game. They siored at will and the
outcome of the game was never in
doubt.
Herrera started the scoring for South-
western by throwing two field goals,
and was followed by the other players,
wh took turns in scoring. Lamb showed
up well in throwing free goals and on
the defensive. Ostergard threw two
pretty field goals from the near the
middle of the floor. The first half end-
ed with Southwestern leading 16 to 5.
At the opening of the second half,
Baylor put in a new team which showed
some good fighting and made a free goal
and three field goals in rapid succession.
But then the Pirates tightened up and
started a rally themselves. Southwes-
tern won the game by a score of 31 to
15.
The Pirate squad played better bas-
ketball and* had better team-work than
have manifested in any previous game
this season. This week the team will
be gone on its North Texas trip and
some good games are expected.
The line-up for the game was as
follows:
Southwestern—Herrera and Wilkin-
son, forwards; Lamb and Ostergard,
guards; Kennedy, center.
Baylor—Covington and Cairnes, for-
wards; Wolf and Smith, guards; Tabb,
center.

ter for Smith, Schulney for Tabb, Ly-
ons for Covington, Hill fpr Wolf;

Wednesday evening the Pirate bas-
ketball squad met the fighting quintet
from Phillips University. During the
first Half the* game was closely contend-
ed and very little scoring was done by
either side. Phillips team had a strong
defensive which was impenetrable and
the Pirates were on the offensive most
of the time. At the end of the first 1 1*
the score stood 7 to 6, with Phillips
leading.
Then at the opening of the second
half, Phillips came back strong on the
offensive, only at times returning to
their defense. They scored continually
at regular intervals, while the Pirates
were again able to score only 6 points.
The final score Was 20 to 12 in favor of
Phillips College. ,
Levi, the big Indian center, showed
up well for Phillips University, and for
Southwestern Herrera scored 9 ont of
the 12 points with two field goals and
five free goals.
