TEXAS PRESS
ASSOCIATION.
MET FOR ORGANIZATION WITH
BAYLOR LAST MONDAY —SAN-
SOM REPRESENTED S. U.
Outline of the Work of the Association-
IMHr
On Monday afternoon, the rep-
resentatives of thevarious college
publications met in the parlors
at Baylor University for organ-
ization. The purpose of this
organization was the discussion
of problems which arise in col-
lege journalism and the general
raising of the standard of Texas
college magazines. Nine colleg-
es were represented as follows:
Baylor, Mr. McElhannon; T. C.
TJ., Mr. Green; Trinity, Mr.
Templeton; North Texas Norm-
al, Mr. Prim; College of Indust-
rial Arts, Misses Woldert and
Markham; Daniel"1 Baker, Mr.
Ford; Simmons College, Mr.Con-
nor; Decatur, Mr. Ratliff; and
Southwestern, Mr- Sansom.
The organization as perfected
was substantially as follows:
The affairs of the Association
are to be in the hands of an exe-
cutive committee, one member
from each school. The Associ-
ation is to hold an annual conven-
tion on the the first Thursday
and Friday of April. At this
convention each college will have
a part in the program, which
wi 11 consist of talks on various
problems which arise. These
meetings are to rotate among .the
colleges, the college having the
resident being, entitled to the
State literary contests, in the
winning of which lies an equal
honor. If the students of South-
western will put the same energy
and time into these contests, as
our orators have expended, we
will make our Magazine the best
in the South. Remember the
magazines and these contests
while you have nothing to do
this summer. 1
We extend to Baylor our
thanks for her initiative in this
matter and her cordial entertain-
ment.
S. U. FAILS TO SCORE.
{Continuedfrom page 1.)
Association.
The constitution provides for
three inter-collegiate contests,
essay, story and poem.* Each to
be the original work ofj1 some
undergraduate student of^the
submitting institution, and to
have appeared in the college
magazine of that institution.
A gold medal is oftered to the
winner, contest to be judged by
the judges selected by the exe-
cutive committee, subject to
challenge by any competing
school. One entryXfrom each
school in each contest is allowed.
Annually the Association ^pro-
poses to publish a single issue^of
a paper entitled "The ^Texas
Inter-Collegian," containingjthe
prize selections and the speeches
before the annual convention.
On Monday evening the dele-
gates were invited tojbe present
at the annual banquet of the
local press club. This was a
royal entertainment. Mr. J. C.
McElhannon of Baylor was elect-
ed first President and Balyor
chosen as the meeting place for
the first annual convention,
next year.
We are constrained to believe
that if all the colleges of Texas
would take this matter seriously,
and realize the importance of
the step that has just been taken,
and get behind it, the Texas
Press Association would be a
glorious thing for our college
magazines.
Besides our State Oratorical
now we have three

Texfts again came to bat and
slipped a long fly by Stone in left
field. This was followed by a
hit to center, which brought the
score up another notch.
Again the furiously battling
Longhorns filled the bases and
repeated the previous stunt to
left field, scoring two men. Here
the Megaphone reporter swooned
and in a vision saw a happy land,
where Southwestern's ball team
made no errors and won all the
games.
The Long Horns out-played us
all the way around. Sheffield
had an off day in the box, while
Groesbeck pitched like a leaguer.
Seven error—Moore 1, Isbelll,
Sheffield 1, Moody 1, Stone 3—
all coming at crucial times are
marked to our credit, while the
opponents only made two. Groes-
beck gave one base on balls and
allowed one first-base hit.

taking too many bases but was
sent back, whereupon the game
stopped twenty minutes (?) for
squabbling.
McLain in the second half got
to first for Southwestern, steal-
ing second in grand fstyle.
Vaughan follows to first, Mc-
Lain to third—Baylor tries a
double put out and both men be-
ing called safe, Baylor's' cute
(?) third baseman has a fit,
(this no doubt making his col-
leagues feel very proud of him)
during the process of which
Vaughan stole second.
Wylie relieved Potts in the
pitcher'3 box and neither, side
scored again.
Both sides played good ball.
McLain very prettily scooped
some long flies to center. Ayres
seemed to be trying to monopo-
lize the hitting, getting* three
safe ones, Moody and Moore
coming next with two. Stone
got two hits, one to the field and
one on the head, Dowlen deserv-
es especial mention for the way
he fielded.

has secured the contract for this
year's University catalogue and
is now hard at work upor same.
The Sun was given the contract
over other bidders which goes
to show that it is cheaper to
get home products.
Lines by L. D Hawkins to Dedicate
Mrs.McKennon's Tablet in the Library.
He who for paper has a need
And would on someone's bounty
feed
Just let him take a sheet of this,
For one I'll surely never miss,
But, he who in his secret soul
Thinks he's entitled to the whole
And tries to grab and not to give
By bounty only does he live
And he has my heartfelt curse
Naught that's better—all that's
worse.
