GRAD FACULTY GAME
The baseball game last Tuesday
afternoon between the faculty and
*he grads was one of peculiar satis-
faction " o the fans of Southwestern.
It isn't frequent that the students
have the opportunity of giving
vent to their pjnt up anger against
the faculty members. But on an
occasion as this the grand old op-
portunity presents itself and a fel-
low can rag the exemplified and
exalted order ail he wants to.
"Revenge is sweet," saith the
college student. You've once had
me down, now its my turn. The
grads swore with abated breath to
clean them up with a topheavy
score, but as the innings rolled
'rouni and the faculty became
humble and most humbie, Capt.
McHenry signaled the angry nine
off, and made it plain that the
faculty must win, for "you know,"
he says, "the children (referring,
I suppose to second or third chil-
hood) must have their way. As a
result the score ended slightly in
favor of the faclty. It is with
much regret that the student body
ia forced to reprimand the second
baseman of the faculty for his un-
becoming conduct, his antics, his
lark like ascensions, and his gener-
al cavorting about the diamond. We
are sure that St.Paul, were he living
today would not countenance any
such behavior on the part of one of
his high churchmen. Very seldom
it is that the student body takes it
upon itself to bring one of the
faculty to tow, but the reputation,
honor, highstanding, and integrity
of the University must be upheld,
even though the feelings of a few
have to suffer. We will say though
that the second baseman PLAYED
BALL, even if he caught with bare
hands most of the time.
How about the first baseman?
Well—you all know Johnnie MAC.
By way of passing, he was in his
glory, directing, guiding, sustain-
ing, encouraging, upholding, and
—pardon the common old word so
rare these days, you know, still so
effective—bossing, the faculty
members in their individual at-
tempts to hang on to the evasive
sphere. Johnie Mac is a good
knocker—batter I mean.
Pardon this name, we hate dis-
respect but in order that the stu-
dents will understand more readily
of whom we speak—Bug chaser was
there, epink and span, and the
grads wouldn't have had a fighting
chance for the game, had"Cricketi"
(another appellation for this gen-
tleman) hesitated now and then
from his interest in the multiform
varieties of grasshopper, ants, etc.,
and had given more attention to
the subject at hand. However,
he's excusable, for the weather cer-
tainly was fine that afternoon, the
bugs, the bees, the crickets, etc.,
were following that instinct within
which reaches and towers, and they
were all out in the open, ready for
the biologist's investigation. A
man's a man for a that—how can
you expect the Prof, to curb his
inborn curiosity on such a bug fes-
tival as that was?
Prof. Young said the shade was
fine, and we feel sure that he en-
joyed- WATCHING the game.
The pitcher, Dr. Bishop, is to be
congratulated upon hie good head-
\york. He pitched in great style.
Especially is he to be congratulated
upon his excellent slabwork in the
game. Like Loqgino, his fielding
needs improving, however never-
theless, 1})) showed sign Of remark-
Mir ■' -n? * "J: . rt

received from their elders an in-
spiration which will follow them
far into next year and will encourage
them to greater deeds in basebill
activities.

had been played, before the last
word had been said, and it was
i some minutes later when the last
1 good-night had been spoken
said and each recipient of all that
the annual banquet of Phi Delta
i Theta brought with it had wended
l his way homeward.
By many the occasion had been
looked forward to with intense
pleasure and eagerness, of course,
upon the part of 1 he local chapter,
to make it a ringing success. The
dining room of the Commercial
Hotel was tastily decorated with
ferns and large baskets containing
white carnations, so well known to
every Phi Dalt!, were placed upon
the tables. Besserer's orchestra of
Austin furnished splendid music
for the occasion and the toasts
given at the call of the toastmas-
ter, Dr. C. C. Cody, were genuine-
ly appreciated by the eighty-seven
persons present.
The menu itself was pronounced
by all as equal to any attempted in
any city. The menus were printed
within a coverlet of white lamb
skin and served as a good memorial
of the annual occasion. The elec-
trical shield on the wall attracted
a great deal of admiration and was
certainly a likenness to the original
The place cards bearing the fra-
ternity's shield in silver called for
