Heavy Hitting For Texas.
Texas came over Tuesday
afternoon of this week and even-
ed things up with Southwestern
in the baseball line. With the
memory of their last defeat at
our hands still fresh in their
minds they came over with their
very best force and with blood
in their eye, and before their
revenge was all taken they had
the score up to 6 to 1 in their
favor. Grosbeck was slab ar-,
tist for Texas and was in his
best form and put the old time
twist to the pill which kept our
boys guessing. His work was
superior to anything that has
worked here this year. But
what counted more for Texas
was her heavy hitting. Wathen
was especially good, taking
three out of five times up, and
two of these were when second
and third were covered, so he
brought in four of the six scores.
Southwestern succeeded in |
pulling off a pretty double in
the eighth when Stacy hit to
Word at short and Ryan went
out at second and Stacy at first.
Game by innings:
For Texas, Rector struck out,
Hughes flew to Ayres, Wathen
took a hit to left, Taylor flew
to right.
For S. U.—Vaughn took base
on balls, Moore out from pitcher
to first, Ayres struck out, Cros-
by struck out.
Second
For Texas—Onion out from
Ayres to Crosby on first, Nixon
from Word at short to first,

Are Showered With Beautiful Bouquets.
Saturday evening, April 2, at
the University auditorium, Miss
Blanche Corry and Miss Jeston
Dickey gave their Senior re-
cital. " In spite of the very
threatening weather a large
crowd of interested friends at-
tended. Miss Corry, a univer-
sal favorite at the piano, played
unusually well in her vivid,
and spontaneous way, with per-
fect poise and a noticeable lack
of "effort."
Miss Jeston Dickey also ap-
peared perfectly at home, gain-
ing at once the attention and
interest of the audience. While,
of course, the charm of a read-
ing'is largely in the reader's
personality and interpretation
from the color which these re-
flect, siill the choice- of the
reading is of vital importance.
Miss Dickey's selections worked
up to a climax, showing the log-
ical steps of a well trained r^tkl-
er.
Throughout the entire pro
gram the two young ladies were
showered with flowers,exquisite
carnations and roses.
The stage was arranged very
tastefully and attractively, a
green color scheme predomina-
ting, with a bank of pot plants
for a background.
The program was as follows:
Sonata in A . Scarlatti
The Habitant—William Henry
Drummond. French Canadi-
an dialect.
Poeme Erotique—Grieg.
Etude Op. 10, No. 12—Chopin
The Sorrow of Rohab — Arlo
Bates.
Papi lions—Schumann.
The Milliner, a monclog—Marie
Manning.

Mr. and Mrs. Ilamil

are traveling in the interest of
the Sunday School, were here
Tuesday and Wednesday and
delivered interesting and in-
structive aadress:\s conceiving
their work. Tuesday afternoon
at the church they presented in
a forceful way the needs and
importance of the Sunday School
and our dutits as christians to-
wards it. They spoke again
Tuesday night to a large crowd.
Mrs. Hamill's talks were about
the primary work in the Sunday
School. She toll in a plain,
but effective way how the little
pupils should be care:! fyr and
taught. . I,-
Mr. Hamill's talks were di-
rected especially t> ' he students.
He spoke of the vast opportuni-
ties that are open to trained
christian young men and wo-
men. Mr. and Mrs. ITamill are
earnest workers, and are knou n

ing the foremost in their line of
work. They are now on their

On last Monday evening the
Prep Glee Club give its annual
concert in the College Auditori-
um. A heavy rain fell late
Monday afternoon, and for a
awhile the prospects for an en-
tertainment did not seem very
favorable, but in spite of the
rain and mud, a large and ap-
preciative audience was pres-
ent, and all were well paid for
their trip. When the boys first
appeared on the stage they
were' greeted with a loud cheer,
and they were heartily encored
throughout the entire program.
They showed that they had been
carefully trained and their mel-
odious voices rang out in the
evening air with perfect har-
mony. The Glee Club was as-
sisted by Miss Callie Blair, and
Misses Hendry and Barcus ac-
companists, and Miss Anita
Storrs, violinist. The program
was so varied that no part of it
became tiresome in the least,
but tie audience was captivat-
ed from the first number to t he
last. Space forbids lis from
making mention of a 11 the num-
bers, but suffice it to say they
were all excellen1. Russell Wil-
son created no little 'amuse-
ment in his recitation of "If I
Could be by Her,' ' He played
the stuttering act perfectly and
seemed to be at home on the
stage. The duet entitled
"When I Behold" sang by Miss
Blair and C. M. Singleton was
beautiful and most excellently
rendered. In fact, every num-
ber seemed to be enjoyed to the
fullest extent by all who were

APRIL 7th BIG DAY
ALAMO AND SAN JACINTO PICNIC
W.ibarjcr's Point Sc?;ie of Great
Merry IVtakitig
This year the anniversary of
the Alamo Society came at such
a strenuous period that it was
almost impossible to step aside
and enjoy the usual celebrations.
In view of this fact it was de-
cided to postpone the Alamo pic-
nic to a later date. Ex-
aminations and many other
things interfered until the cele-
bration was postponed indefin-
itely.
By this time April 21st was
in sight with the big San Jacin-
to celebrations. The Alamo So-
ciety then invited the San Ja-
cinto to unite with them and
have one big day. The invita-
tion was gladly accepted and
April 7th was set for the big
day.
The day dawned upon the
whole student body all astir and
in great expectations for a gay
time. The girls from town, the
Co-Operative hone and the An-
nex were quickly transported
from their respective homes to
the picnic grounds about a mile
below town. This done, noth-
ing was left but to have a good
time. Nature herself seemed to
have lent a hand in the prepara-
tion for the gala affair. She
had alaeady spread the beauti-
ful barks of the San Gabriel with
a soft velvety carpet and the
shining green canopy above was
also a gift of her's, Then the
rippling,*-' murmuring brook
"haunted us like a passion."
and brought to us fond mem-
ories of more than a year ago.
In short, "spring time was there
in all her splendor and seemed
to invite us out to play with
her." The affair was a delight-
