Abilene outweighed the Pirates
about 17 pounds per man which real
ly makes a lot of difference. Some
say that weight doesn’t matter and
it’s the man that counts, but lots of
time that is not true. Weight played
a major role in Saturday nights
game. It seoined that one man was
not able to take care of those burly
Christians. Several times other lines

bringing them to earth.

The Collegiate Review
You can depend upon Abilene as
a chief contender for conference
laurels. Those boys have weight,
power, speed, and a fair passing at-
tack which is a good bet for any
team. They have a swell interference
on end sweeps that won most of
their yardage for them against the
pirates.

faded back from the Pirate 40 four
times and shot long pusses only to
see them knocked down by Dirate
bucks.
Third Quarter: Southwestern took
over on their own 30. Brantley im-
mediately punted to the 33. Persky
worked the ball down to the Pirate
10 before the Pirates took over.
Abilene took Brantley’s kiek on the
40 and on two line plays Perskv net-
ted a first down. Jones faded back
and shot Bennett a pass on the five
where he crossed the goal standing
up. Jones’ kick was perfect. South-
western kicked as they failed to
Last Thursday night a group ofl
students interested in creative writ-
ing met at the home of Dr. Howard
to discuss plans for a regular or-
ganization. After a short discussion!
of some of our present day poets,
the group talked over various type*
of organizations that could be em-
ployed. Instead of reviving the
Sigma Tau Delta, p r o f e s s i o n a I
writer’s fraternity in which South-
western has had a member chapter
for years, they decided to form an
informal club to meet bi monthly.
At each meeting, the members are to
read original creative work which
j gain against the strong Wildcat line. wi„ then ,H> ^cussed by the group.
'When you get out of college, are you going to run a filling station or be
a wrestler.”
Jack McCann, midget back, show-
ed lots of speed against the Wild-
cats and is probably the fastest back
in the conference. McCann, besides
his speed, iB a good punter and a
blocker. If McCann had some weight
added to his body he would be hard
to stop through any line.
The game revealed a punting duel
between the two teams. Almost every
play was a punt exchange as both
clubs were afraid of fumbling the
slippery ball. Those punt exchanges
showed that the Pirates have three
swell punters in Black, Brantley and
MeCann. Dutch O’Neil, who has been
out with an injury, is also a grand
punter. He out punted his opponent
in every tilt and Bullet Bill Patter-
son is on that list.

Speaking on the theme, “A gentle
man and a scholar,” Dr. Wolcott ad-
dressed the chapel Tuesday. In his
clear-cut and witty talk, he attemp-
ted to bring the qualities of a
gentlemen down from the skies to a
level that a college freshman or fac-
ulty member could understand. After
discussing briefly each of the char-
acteristics that go to make up a lady
or gentleman he concluded that a
gentleman is always a scholar; the
two go hand in hand.
On Thursday night, Mrs. Charles
A. Menet, former president of the

the Pirate 14 on successive drives.
