LOSES ONE TO STATE
T. C. U. HERE WEDNESDAY—SIM-
MONS AND STATE HERE
LAST WEEK.
T. C. U. BILLED FOR FEBRUARY 9
The Southwestern girls swamp
ed the T. C. U. co-eds, and it is now
the boys' turn to try their hand
with the Christians. On Wednes-
day, February 9, the T. C. U. bas-
ketball team will meet Southwes-
tern on the Snyder Field court.
PREPS DEFEATED AT GRANGER
On Saturday afternoon the Preps
went to Granger in cars and play-
ed that husky bunch of high school
chaps to the one-sided score of 53
to 20. Th Preps are not discour-
aged by this defeat, and are work-
ing hard to defeat the Georgetown
High, which team they play next.
"Prep" Smith is coaching the
Fitting School team and states that
the team is just getting into run-
ning order and that they will show
much better form in the last few
games of the schedule.
SIMMONS COLLEGE 18; S. U. 24.
Southwestern defeated Simmons
College Thursday by a score of 24
to 18. The Baptists could have
won the game on foul points. Hole-
man, the Simmons forward, had
twenty-four free shots, but made
only four of them count.
Southwestern showed good team
work in the first part of the game,
but on account of numerous fouls,
they slowed down in the last half.
Smith for Southwestehrn, and
Thomas for Simmons, did some
good guarding.
Captain Hay made eight goals
out of 16 foul chances.
This victory over Simmons put
S. U. one to the good for before
this game the Methodists and Bap-
tists stood 50-50. Line-up:
Southwestern — Hay (captain),
forward; Quinn, forward; Knick-
erbocker, guard; Smith, guard;
McKenzie> center.
c
Simmons — Holman, forward;
Hudson (captain) fox-ward; Pipps,
guard; Hughes, guard; Thomas,
center.

son for Hudson, Edmonds for
Johnson. Southwestern — Perrin
for Quinn, Haris for Hay.

TEXAS 62; & U. 34.
i v.;
Yes, this is a defeat* but it looks
better than 35 to 5 as was the score
in the first game. Then, too, when
one compares the pdinta made in
the last half, 27 to 22 favoring the
orange and white, he will at least
say Southwestern is on the basket-
ball map.
At 1:30 Coach Henderson, Di-
rector Belmont, Assistant Manager
Mixon and seven Texas men left
the capital for Georgetown—in
two Fords. They rambled right
along until they got to Round Rock,
a place where, things happen.There
the second Henry had a very seri-
ous blowout and was forcd to run
ten miles on the rim. Thus the
Varsity representatives rolled into
Georgetown about 4 o'clock.
At 4:20 the whittle blew and the
battle was on. Texas moped along
during the first half and only made
25 points. Littlefield was off and
did not seem to get right until the
second period. McKenzie split
about even with the big center on
placing the ball and kept him under
guard fairly well during the first
half. In the second period Little-
field gave Mac the slip and scored
five pretty field goals.
Hay played slow ball in the first
half and made many wild shots at
the basket, but in the second half
he picked up and scored 5 goals.
Knickerbocker got 4 pretty goals
during the last half. To say Smith
was a mere star would be light for
the guarding he did was of a high-
er type. He never lost the fight,
and broke up team work that would
have piled up an unusually large
score.
Pat was a live wire; in fact, he
had too much fire. Pete Edmonds
short-circuited him on several oc-
casions and finally both men were
removed from the game in obedi-
ence of the "safety first" law.
Perrin was put in for Quinn and
Thomas for Edmonds.
The line-up:
Texas—Littlefield, center; Blaine,
right forward; Thompson, left for-
ward ; Dittmar, right guard; Ed-
monds. left guard.
Southwestern — McKenzie, cen-
ter; Harris, right forward; Hay,
left forward; Knickerbocker, right
guard; Smith, left guard.
Substitutions: Dittler for Ditt-
mar, Thomas for Edmonds, S. V.
Quinn for Harris, Perrin for
Quinn. Goals—For Texas, Little-
field 7 and 4 fouls,Blaine 8,Thomp-
son 6, Edmonds 3; for Southwes-
tern, Hays 8 and 2 fouls, Harris 1,
Knickerbocker 4> Smith 1, Quinn 1,
Perrin 1. Referees—Rix of Dart-
mouth. Umire, Henderson of Tex-
as. Time—20 minutes each half.

GOLDEN SUNSET O'ER THE DEAD
(Taken from picture at lecture.)
Yon winding river splendors show
Of twilight and scenes of Paradise,
The setting sun its glories glow(
Where Death and Ruin lies. .
The gold upon the waters gleam
Like angelie wings in Heaven above,
Like foreign ports or tranquil dream
Where Death is lost in Nature '• love.
The sun shall cast its radiant glow
Where Beauty reigns alone,
Nor Death nor Peril phall it know,
The $)un upon its throne.
—Win. NeviL
SENATE PASSES JUDG-
MENT ON OWNERSHIP BILL
ALAMOS CONSIDER GOVERNMENT
OWNERSHIP WITH FINAL
VOTE IN ITS FAVOR.
The immortal Alamo was rejuve-
nated to the old spirit that has eter-
nized its name in the Southwestern
annals when it assembled Monday
morning and considered profound-
ly a question that is puzzling the
master minds of those in authority
and who must act wisely or the
hinges of this nation will be un-
loosed and conditions fall into an
insolvable chaos. The members re-
solved themselvea-into a committee
of a whol^and.spoke their views In
unmeasured language. The Trav-
is Literary Society was the guest
of the Alamo and pronounce the
program a most interesting one,
which was well shown by their man-
ifest enthusiasm.
The Senate convened at the reg-
ular designated hour of nine. The
vice president of the Senate presid-
ed with the characteristic dignity
of some high and royal arbiter. Af-
ter calling on the chaplain, W. B.
Slack, for opening prayer be asked
the clerk, C. R. Hooten, to read
from the calendar the order of the
business for the day. The clerk
read that the bill for consideration
was "That the Government should
own the telegraph and telephone
systems in the United States."
Senator Lyons,of Arkansas lead
the fight in favor of the aforesaid
bill that had been introduced by
him some weeks ago. With all the
senatorial pageantry of a Joe Bai-
ley, the transcendant reasoning of
an Elihu Root, the inexhaustive
flux of king's language of
Morris Shappard, he put
the Senate in a- complete trance
from which it did not entirely re-
cover during the debate. Senator
Clabaugh, who hails from the Gar-
den of Eden and the "Paradise
Found" country of Texas, most
ably replied to the assertions of his
opponents. He spoke of the evils
that were attached to the proposed
bill and discussed every item con-
tained without stint. As time fleet-
ed the discussion became more com-
mandingly and vitally interesting.
Magniloquent dissertations were ut-
tered. Grandiloquent replies were
returned. It compared most fav-
orably to the memorial Hayne-
Webster debate in the Senate years
ago. Not infrequently were state-
ments given response.
Senators Mitchell, Day, Harwell,
Clark, Straw, Slagle and Huckabee
spoke at length on the question at
issue.
Rapturous applause was inter-
spersed during the debate from
both the Democratic and Socialist
side of the house and the galleries
were alike responsive when points
were made that harmonized with
their views.
After careful deliberation the
vote was rendered fifteen in favor
and thirteen against. Some non-
committal.

YE COLONIAL DAMES AT HOME
The Y. W. C. A. Will Entertain With
Colonial Prom.
For some time the Y. W. C. A.
Cabinet members have been seen
with their heads together whisper-
ing mysteriously; but now the dark
secret has been solved, and the mys-
tery no longer remains a mystery.
On the evening of February 21, at
8 o'clock,Mistress Martha Washing-
ton and Dolly Madison will be at
home in the parlors of the Wom-
an's Building. Everyone is most
cordially invited to attend. The
entertainment will take the form of
a grand "Prom." and as this is
the first occasion of this kind in
Southwestern, the young ladies
have gone to much expense and la-
bor to make it a great success. The
halls will be beautifully decorated
in bunting and flags, while the or-
chestra and band will be on band
to furnish the music.
The Association has been divided
into two sides> the Martha Wasli-
ingtons and the Dolly Madisons.
The side selling the greatest num-
ber of tickets for this entertain-
ment will lead the grand march, in
which the young ladies will ap-
pear in the quaint old colonial cos-
tumes.
The Y. W. C. A. is anxious that
all the youug people throughout
the town and the surrounding vi-
cinity will be present. Of course,
the students of the University will
rally to these young ladies and help
to make the affair one long to be
remembered. You will feel that
you are in the midst of the colonial
people of "ye olden time" if you
only come—and all for a quarter.
The young men are requested to
take special notice as this is a leap
year affair. It may be the one
chance in their lives, especially for
those who are timid around the
"fair sex." From the many beau-,
tiful and charming Dolly Madisons
and Martha Washingtons there will
surely be a pleasing and entertain-
ing partner for the modern George.
Washingtons and James Madisons.
