was ahead on the free goals. Miss
Walker "starred" in this game
with her field-goals as did Misses
A. Yardley and I. Dunlap in their
guarding. There were four scores
made by S. U. in this game that
did not count.
j The last game was with San / n-
| tonio High School, in which S. U.
; came with flying colors and a score
of 17 to 9. The High School has a
j plucky little team and they put up
almost as hard a game as did
Thomas. In this game Misses Or-
derdonk and Stanford "starred"
both in goal-tosing and field work,
while every payer figured strongly.
S. U. made nine scores, during
this game, that did not count.
Not less enjoyable than the games
themselves was the "fun" the
team report having to which Coach
| Dougherty contributed the lion's
share. Two things at least did
■they learn: where the "Mexican
Restaurant" is and that cars to the
M. K. & T. depot do not run after
eight o'clock p. m. In fact, walk-
ing is much better.
n The basketball season for this
year has closed, but the team is
going in next year for the hardest
work yet, and with the sole de-
termination of wiping Thomas
School completely out of the basket-
ball world.
Thus ended our trip. In a fi-
nancial way the trip was an unusu-
ally success. Manager Woods came
back with his pockets lined with
gold. Modesty forbids us to speak
of the success of the program but
the liberal applause and favorable
newspaper notices justify us in say-
ing the trip was no failure. And
we will state for fearwe have
created a wrong impression that
we invariably found fime between
picnics, receptions, etc., to give
a concert.

The acting was good, the comedy
was enjoyed very much. At the
close Solomon Levi alias Claude
Hazle demonstrated his powers of
ventriloquism. After throwing his
voice to two. or three different
points back of the stage, and then
announced that he would throw his
voice to the ceiling. After at-
tempting this once or twice, and
when the audience was wondering
what was going to happen, Hein-
rich Stein alias WilsoaJ3avid.^tuck
his head from behind the curtain
and yelled that he could not find
the ladder.
The concluding number of the
program, Dreams by J. Beschnitt
was sung by the Glee Club.
The entertainment was a success
in every way. Much credit for the
good showing that the Glee Club
made, is due to Prof. Shaw who
has taken much time in drilling
the Club and assisting them in
every other way possible, and to
Manager H. D, Woods. The Glee
Club is one of the most popular or*
ganizations in the University, both
with the students and town people,
and it always has a good entertain-
ment when a concert is given.

siowed their interest in Kidd-Key
j by missing the car. It took Alex-
ander exactly thirty-seven minutesl
to say "Good bye."
We were received at Piano with
hacks, drays and autos, and driven
to Kendrick's pond,where we spent
the day in fishing and boating.
When the second division arrived
we "got Kendrick's goat," which
was barbecued for the occasion,
and sat down to a "tweve course
banquet" in the shade of the trees.
After our concert we enjoyed an-
other reception
From Piano we went to Ceburne
by way of Dallas and Fort Worth.
In Dallas Wilsonbroke the record for
long distance flirting and Bartondis
located his neck looking at the sky-
scrapers. The Club spent Sunday
in Cluburne. Four of the members
broke the Sabbath by singing in
one of the churches but their inten-
tions were good.
Temple received us with an auto
track and gave us a ride over the
city which came to an end when we
found the ball park. As the quar-
tette was entering the stage Boger
,came near causing .a riot behind
the scenes by turning in a false
alarm, but Hazel and David satis-
fied themselves and the audience
that nothing was wrong and the
program went on as usual. At
Temple Hazle discovered that he
was a ventriloquist.
Tuesday morning we returned
home to Georgetown and gave fif-
teen rahs for "Home, Sweet
Home." Not to be outdone in
hospitality the Georgetown girls
met us with autos and carried our
remains to our homes.
Saturday night we gave a concert
at Bartlett, taking a substitute
pianist, a stage manager, and an
audience with us. On the way
back two members were tried in
Judge Woods' court for playing
pool, but they proved an alibi and
the reputation of the Club was
cleared.
Miss Pauline Swofford, soprano,
assisted by Mr. Elmo Alexander,
pianist, appeared in a graduating
j recital at the University Auditor-
jiurn. last Saturday evening. Miss
I Swofford is a pupil of Prof. J.
Emory Shaw, Director of Music in
! Southwestern University, and she
i enjoys a high prestige in the msical
circles of both the University and
| town. Mr. Alexander is a graduate
| of this year in piano from the Uni-
versity School of Music and his re-
i putation as a musician has been
established among music loving
| people of the town and University
' by numerous performances.
After a short invocation by Prof,
j R. J. Eddy, Miss Swofford opened
the evening's concert with the pret-
| ty "Knowest thou that Sweet
I Land?" from the opera Mignon.
j SHe sang the creation of Thomas
with that intuitive poise and feel-
ing of actor-singer that is so often
found lacking in singers both on
and off the-stage which, when lack-
ing, gives any song, however well
sung, the dead, listless effect of
mere mechanical technique. Miss
Swofford demonstrated that, be-
sides the necessary technique, she
has the artistic quality of feeling
th spirit of her song and that she
is &ble to go still further and weave
such a feeling into the song effort.
An audience rarely fails to appreci-
ate such a combination of technique
and feeling.
Mr. Alexander, in his rendition
of Liszt's Rhapsody No. VI, gave
a d understandable hence an enjoy
able interpretation of that master's
spirit in music. The haunting of
Liszt music with its faint, half-hid-
den melodies founa a true expres
sioi through the efforts of the
pianist and the audience enjoyed,
because of its correct interpreta-
tion, what is so often refe.red to
in rather a "its-beyond*me" tone
as classical music. The principal
reaso . that an average audience
can't appreciate" classical music
is . ot because of any fault the
music may have; most generally it
is because of lack of correct inter-
pretation on the part of the per-
former. Mr. Alexander not only
showed a technique of merit but
his ability to feel, to sense, and to
interpret the mood and spirit of
the master give him a sure hold on
the attention of his listeners.
Miss Swofford's second lumber
was made up of three short selec-
tions that presented a charming
contrast in spirit. The touch of
sadness in "April's Lament" was
deepened by the yearning note of
the lover found in the little love
song "I'm wantin' you, Jean" and
then the whole of sadness driven
riotously away by the lilting, joy-
ous movement and the happy,
sunny spirit of "Summer." Mr.
Alexander again exhibited his
ability to perform on the piano
when he played Moskowski's Valse
in E. The selection was a short
one but enjoyable.
The recital was closed by Miss
Swofford in another numbfer of
three short selections. In the
first, "Les Filles de Cadix," she
showed an excellent range of voice
and sang well the light, sprightly
air. "At Dawning," a soft melody
and rather slow, followed and then
"A Birthday," a burst of glad,
ringing song, fast and joyous and
with a ringing, trumpet-like fin-
ish. Miss Sw;>fford was at her
best and she sang in mast engaging
and delightful manner. The songs
were all well selected and with
Prof. Shaw at the piano Miss Swof«
f ird's success was complete. She
has a beautifl voice, rich in its
clarity of tone, of a ri ging true-
ness and with lots of volume.
The weather being propitious
an rnex rules temporarily sus-
pended an unusually hr^d crowd
j filled the Auditorium an I all who
heard it enjoyed the recital very
much, everybody did.
SOUTHWESTERN*GRADUATE RE-
CEIVES HONOR THROUGH
SCHOLARSHIP
i
It will be of interest to South-
western students to know that one
of the four fellowships amounting
to $44.00 per mjnlh has been
awarded by the University of Chi-
! cago Divinity School to Mr, John
H. Hicks, A. B., graduate of '11.
It is a credit to Southwestern to
I turn out a man,, who while spend-
j ing only three moths in the Uni-
versity of Chicago, proved himself
; worthy of such an honor.
After Mr. Hicks took his A. B.
degree at Southwestern in 1911,
he attended the Summer School at
[the University of Chicago and for
the past two years has been pursu-
ing his studies at Vanderbilt Uni-
versity. Dr. Tillett of that insti-
tution, in speaking of Mr. Hicks,
said that: "He was one of the
best schoars in the University,"
and we are sure that he will make
good his record at Chicago.
We were requested to mention
that Mr. Hicks was a San Jac.
'A GREAT LESSION'
"The Love of a Thief." It is a
clean, moral story and never fails
to please. The following thought
among others are suggested by the
play. It is wrong to wrong and
the result is disgrace and ruin, un-
less there is reformation. Honesty
and fidelity brings its reward,
an(f the right will eventually pre-
vail. A person may suffer a great
wrong from others and the wicked
may combine to overthrow and ruin
one who is in the right, but they
will, after awhile, be compelled to
see the folly of it. Love is strong-
er than death and even a thief may
love and win the lady loves. It is
a beautiful story, elegantly cos-
tumed and you should not miss it.
It is agreed by all students of
sociology that a certain amount of
diversion and entertainment is
good for people of all ages and is
essential for the young. The Har-
rison Stock Company furnishes this
entertainment at a nominal cost,
an entertainment that is above
criticism, and is worthy of patron-
age. At the Tent Theatre Monday
