PROHIBITION CONTEST
A FOREWARD.
First Game.
Those who witnessed the base
ball game of Monday afternoon
can testify that T. C. U. had
horseshoes hung all over them.
Only in two innings did they
have men on bases, but these
two times were enough.
At every stag of the game,
the result was in our favor; but
some how we lost. Just think
of eleven hits to six "measily"
singles.
One of the most unpleasant
features of the game was the
removal by Prof. Hardy and
Capt. Si of Tyson in the sceond
inning, upon a stretcher maue
of two and three baggers. Mor-
ton came to the rescue and
pitched a fine game, but he had
many errors behind him.
The feature of the game was
the batting of Capt. Ayres of S.
U. who got a three bagger, a
two bagger and a single out of
five times up. Sheffield farrQ.
U. pitched an excellent game.

The writer has been requested
by the editor of the Megahone
to make some statement concern-
ing the Sou'wester that will soon
be out of press. A fellow feel-
ing, if no other motive would
promt me to help fill his columns
and try to be.prompt in respond-
ing to his request.
But what I fehall say about the
Sou'wester is designed merely
to call j our attention to it, hop-
i ing that, if you have not already
left your subscription with the
business manager, you will do
; so in time. All the school pub-
lications deserve our heartiest
support. The Annual by reason
1 of the fact that it pictures the
j entire school year in one bound
i volume, is always interesting to
outsiders and especially to stu-
! dents. Aside from the fact of
j its abiding interest, it has a
; special claim for our patronage
by reason of the immense amount
of labor and. money involved in
publishing it. Five hundred
copies will be published this
year; and owing to the unusual
amount of material for which the
business manager can make
no charges, the book will be
published this year at consider-
able expense to the Athletic As-
sociation. Hence, unless all the
copies are disposed of, we fear
that the book will not pay out.
The Annual is much more ex-
pensive this year than ever be-
fore, but cloth bound copies sell
at the usual price, $2.00, If
you who have not agreed to take
a copy will do so at once, we
shall experience no financial
embarassment.
The '09 Sou'wester will contain
about ninety pages more than
any previous volume. The pages
have been lengthened one-half
inch, making them 10 1-2 x 7 3-4
inches. It will contain eleven
color plates. The boys may be
interested to know that the
Athletic Department will con-
tain forty-five pages. The class-
es, literary societies, fraterni-
ties, and all other organizations
have vied with one another in
getting a pleasing representa
tion. We won't be go rash as
to promise you that the book
will measure up to your ideal.
It doep not measure up to our
ideal, not because however you
have refused to help us get to-
gether the material necessary,
I feel that the entire student

Some of the Club had never!
heard of Moody, our first stop,
but none of us will . ever forget
our pleasant stay there. A good
crowd was present at the concert, |
Judging by the applause and
compliments, the Club made a
decided hit.
Miss Rassie Howard gave the
Club a delightful skating party
iri the afternoon.
Simonds was very much wor-!
ried because there was no bed
in his room. On returning from
the concert he investigated and
remarked: "By George! they
made us a bed out of that china
closet." Chapman made himself
very entertaining and instruc-
tive discussing the doctrine of
Christian Science. He said
among other things, the follow-
ing: "I have consulted some
of the brainiest men in the U.
j S. and they all argee with em on
I this question,"
It was raining when we arriv-
ed at McGrego^r and the pospect
: for a crowd was not flattering.
Our fame had gone out over
| town, however, and the rain
was not sufficient to keep a good-
; ly number fcm assembling. It
was an appreciative audience
; and thev applauded vigorously
| our efforts to harmonize our voic-
es with a piano that had done
valient service at a moving
picture show in which much of
its efficiency had been exhausted.
Through the kindness of Dr.
Brown and Miss Bertha Witt
the Club enjoyed a reception
after the concert. The young
ladies of the city were present
and rendered the occasion one
of the most pleasant of the trip.
From McGregor we went to
Meridian. We will never forget
our ride from the station, "ah
bitter! chill it was!" A Baptist
meeting in progress caused the
crowd to be small but those
present evidently enjoyed the
concert.
In order to get to Cle-
burne on time we were com-
pelled to face the north wind at
3:45 a.m. Then it was we pined
more than ever for the overcoats
left behind.
Charles and Francis Wilson
gave the Club a reception from
4:00 to 6:00 at their commodious
home. There, Cleburne's pret-
tiest y<?ung ladies, gathered to be
admired and, perchance, adored

13th, the Prohibition State Ora-

posed almost exclusively of young
people greeted us. Bro. Barcus
joined us here and accompanied
us to Hillsboro
Of course we were anxious to

I we might get to Hillsboro with-
out traveling on Sunday, hacks
came over to take us through
the country. The flyer was late,
however, and we took it. The
people of Hillsboro knew we
were coming and Sunday was
celebrated as Southwestern Day
in the church. Bro. Barcus
preached at both services and
the Giee Club sang. Compli-
ments were showered upon us
and it is a gooi thing this was
our last stop, for we would have
been spoiled for,any other place.
Baylor Glee Club had been there
Friday before and tried to profit
by our advertising. The Metho-
dists under the leadership of
Bro. Chapman were aroused
and left no stone unturned to
see that Southwestern didn't
suffer in any respect by com-
parison. The courthouse was
full and we gave the best concert
we have ever given, and won
a home for the Club for all future
time.
On the whole the trip was
most successful—we had the
best time, met more pretty girls,
pleased more audiences, and
last but not least, made more
money than any club for several
years. Here'3 wishing we may
enjoy another one in the near
future.
You should never miss seeing
such pitchers as Malloy and
Weatherford perform.
