SOUTHWESTERN PIRATES GO DOWN IN
594 DEFEAT BEFORE GYPSY ONSLAUGHT

Gypsies End Season In Great
Style, Winning Over Old Ri-
val; Bentley Registers Forty-
One of Gypsies’ 59 Points,
Running true to fofm the Gypsies
closed their basketball season for the
year in bang-up fashion last Saturday
night by running away from the South-
western Pirates of Southwestern Uni-
versity to the tune of 59-4. The game
marked the climax of the Gypsies’ bas-
ket ball career this year, and a bril-
liant climax it was. Beginning the
season against the same team which
they defeated Saturday 59-4, they de-
feated them with a score of 45-26 as
early as January 20. Keeping up the
same stride throughout the year they
worked themselves up to a point never
before equalled by any girls’ team of
the Normal College. Much, we
should not say simply “much” for
that hardly expresses it, a great deal
of the success of the team is directly
the result of Miss Lowman’s ability
to put out a winning team. Aided
by the perserverence and willingness of
the Gypsies to succeed, whatever the
cost in time and work might be, Miss
Uowman was enabled to put over a
season as she did.
The game Saturday night was one
of the most spectacular games ever
witnessed on the Gym floor. By virtue
of the one-sidedness of the score the
game held no strong interest for the
uninteretsed spectator, but viewed from
the Gypsies’ supporter’s point of view
it was one of the finest exhibitions of
efficiency on the basketball court that
has ever been displayed in this town.
There was never-a time when the Gyp-
sies were in danger, being able to run
up the score to 26-3 during the first
hqlf and holding the Pirates to a
single free goal while they netted an
additional 33 points.
In a game of this kind it is difficult
to pick out the stars of the game. Cer-
tainly the work of the forwards is
most noticeable especially so when they
ring the ball practically at will. To
Lily Bently belongs the honor of scor-
ing 41 of the 59 points. Thelma Ellis,
cur other forward, played a brilliant
kind of game, playing at all time for
w in, repardless of what her individual
record would show after tlie game.
Without the unselfish work of Thelma
only was Lily able to register the count
she did.
At jumping center Fannie Woodson
deserves special praise. The balls that
the Georgeaown center tipped-off were
few and far between, and the tip-offs
that Bobby Collier, running center, did-

“BIG” KALIM CHOSEN
BASKETBALL CAPTAIN
SOPHS CLALLENGE SCHOOL
FOR GAME MONDAY NIGHT
Haughty Challenge of Sophs An-
swered and Accepted; Evenly
Matched Teams to Decide
Championship Monday.
Ed’s First Year As Basketeer
Wins For Him Highest Place
on Squad For Next Year; Kal-
lina Also Grid and Ball Artist.
On Wednesday afternoon, “Big” KaU
lina was chosen basketball captain for
next season. This year was Ed’s first
year to participate in the sport and he
made good at it. He was one of the
best standing guards that this institu-
tion has ever put out and we all re-
member how he could putt those free
goals in. The outlook for next sea-
son is very bright with Kallina to pilot
the team.
Ed takes part in football and base-
ball, too. He is one of the three let-
ter men of the college. He came to
this college year before last from
Huntsville Normal where he was a let-
ter man in baseball and football, and
under the careful guidance of Coach
Strahan he has proved to be one of the
best linemen that the Bobcats have
ever had. In nearly all of the football
games he would sweep his great left
hand over the entire part of the op-
ponent’s left side of the line and say in
a loud voice so that everyone could
hear him, “I’ll take care of this side
of the line”, and he proceeded .to do so.
leaving the other men on that side of
the line with nothing else to do but to
plunge through and smear up plays.
He was also selected by William
Ruggles, Sport Editor of the Dallas
News, one of the leading football cri-
tics-of the state, as all T.I.A.A. tackle.
Kallina made a letter- last year in
baseball also. He was one of the
best pitchers in the Association, getting
many strikeouts every game, and pitch-
ing several no-hit games. He"pitched
three in qno week last season. Ed
played some baseball in the Summer
and is now about 100 per cent better

The Class of ’25.
“In view of the fact that the class
of ’25 has challenged the entire school
to a combat to determine the suprem-
acy in basketball, it seems only right
that the public should know the grounds
on which we base our challenge. Fol-
lowing a prolonged research we have
procured the following data:
Number of men making letters in
sub-college: 3 (Lowman 2, Coers 1,
Cole 1.)
Number of lettermen in two college
years: 18.
Number of letters win in two college
years: 29.
Number of three-lettermen since col-
lege: 3.
Number of two-lettermen since col-
lege : 2.
Number of captaincy’s elected to: 4.
Comparative Data.
Entire number of letters given in
1921-22: 38.
Number of letters given to class in
1921- 22: 18.
Entire number of letters given in

The result of the above signed by

“In view of the fact that the Sopho-
mores have become so brave as to
challenge the entire school to a basket
ball game, and since they have gone to
the trouble of collecting data and in-

NORMAL HIGH HOBOS TO PLAY
ACADEMY SEXTET TONIGHT
Academy Girls Took First Game 15-
16; Hobos Determined to
Win Tonight.
A few weeks ago the Hobos of. the
Normal High School department lost
by one point to the Academy girls’
basket ball team. The Normal Gym-
nasium will be the scene of another
game between the two teams tonight
at 7 :15 o’clock.
We feel confident that Miss Brown’s
Hobos are going to make a good show-
ing tonight, for the last game’s score
was only a matter- of one point. The
game will be the first that the Hobos
play on their own court, and we are
anxious to see them in action. We are
counting on being there to help them
take that game from the team which on-
ly recently defeated them.
To some of you who do not know so
much about the Hobos we would like
to add this : We do not only want to
praise the playing ability of the Hobos,
Annual Athletic Carnival
Date Set For May 19.
The Annual Athletic
Carnival, fostered by the
“T” Association will be
held May 19th, 1923.
The money derived
from the carnival will be
called the Carnival Fund,
and will be used to buy
special athletic equip-
ment and awards.
With the cooperation
of the girls’ literary so-
cieties the “T” Associa-
tion is going to make this
event the biggest event
of the year.
THINK IT OVER.
STOP!! LOOK!! READ!!
IT’S COMING SOON
That all may understand when
IT is to be we say—
—to the Seniors and other In-
telligensia: April 2nd, 1923;
—to the Spanish sharks: 2 de
Abril, 1923;
—to the German Club: den
2ten April 1923;

MMDCLXXVII;
—to the Freshmen: next day
after April 1st;
—to everybody else: three
weeks from next Monday
night.
WHAT is IT?
Y, It’s the Y. M. C. A.
VARIETY CONCERT.
Hadn’t you heard about it?
Well, here’s the idea: at 8 o’-
clock in the evening on the ap-
pointed day (see above) the
Normal “Y” is going to present
its chorus of twelve artists, as-
sisted by other musical and dra-
matic talent of the college com-
munity, in a three-part variety
concert.
The chorus is already hard at work
on a repertoire of classical and popu-
lar melodies, and is being ably direct-
ed by Mr. H. S. Talley, of musical
(and blanket-tax) fame. Misses Stev-
ens and Kennard and Messrs.1 W.
Doyle and F. Allenson av& going to
contribute solo numbers, the high qual-
ity of which is guaranteed by the re-
putation of these performers. And a
dramatic cast of Y. M. C. A.-ettes
(Lady Y’s), that couild give Shakes-
peare and Joe Jefferson a few pointers,
are booked to stage a skit (also a hit)
that even Broadway hasn’t seen—yet.
Mrs. E. O. Tanner—her husband
teaches Latin up hero—has agreed to
coach this dramatic number. She is a
post-graduate in dramatics and expres-
sion from one of our leading Texas
colleges, and has staged numerous
plays with marked success.
So, fellers (and you of the fairer
sex), better get to saving youir nickels
and making your dates NOW. It will
cost you less to bring your girl than
it will “to stag it”. (This may be ex-
plained later. If not, consult the dic-
tionary.)
Watch the papers and bulletins for
further announcements.
We are reliably informed that “there’s
something doin’” for April 2nd. For
particulars see above.

Many Friends Welcome Him;

Open In September.
PRESIDENT EVANS RETURNS FROM N. E.
A. MEETING HELD AT CLEVELAND, OHIO
TWO WORE SPLENDID
LYCEUM NUMBERS
A pleasant surprise was in store for
many_ a Normalite last Wednesday
morning when it became whispered
Mrs. Fenetta Sargent Haskell
Here March 10 and World-
Famed Devereux Play-
ers March 24th.
The announcement that was made at
the last number of the Normal’s Ly-
ceum Course when Captain Dinsmore
Upton delivered his famous speech,
“The Four-Square Buidder”; namely
that the Lyceum course had come to a
close with Captain Upton’s appearance,
is erroneous. The Lyceum committee
is to_ present two more entertainments,
one in the form of a reading program
by Mrs. Fenetta Sargent Haskell on
March 10 and the other, the Dever-
eux Players, an extra addition to the
course, on March 24. So far as has
been able to be determined at present
the Devereux Players will present two
plays, one in the afternoon, Shakes-
peare’s “Romeo and Juliet”, and Shaw’s
“Arm and the Man” in the evening.^.
Mrs. Haskell has been enthusiastically
received in the leading cities and coun-
tries of the world. She has appeared
in recital in New York, Washington,
New Orleans, .Chicago, City of Mexi-
co, in England, Scotland, Cuba, and in
nearly every city of any size from Maine
to California and from Florida to
Canada. Her magnetic personality, her
rich resonant voice, her ability to re-
spond to each shade of feeling in the
many characters she interprets and im-
personates, always meet with instant
appreciation. IMrs. Haskell’s versatli-
ity may be judged by the extent and

Hugo.

President C. E. Evans has just re-
turned from an extended trip to Cleve-
land, Ohio'. Friday and Saturday, Feb-
ruary 23-24, there was a meeting of the
American Association of Teachers Col-
leges. Normal College presidents and
professors from all sections of America
were in attendance, afour presidents
from Texas being among the number.
The annual meeting of this Association
is the most important Normal College
gathering in the entire country, and has
been very influential in the elevation
of standards for state teachers’ colleges.
The Department of Superintendents
began its sessions Monday, February
25, and continued through' March 2.
There were approximately 5000 teach-
ers in attendance, Texas supplying
more than fifty of this number. The
program was unusually valuable to
school men.
While in Cleveland, Ohio, President
C. E. Evans visited the Cleveland
School of Education, which corres-
ponds to the .first two years of a stand-
ard State Normal College. This school
has an enrollment of five hundred stu-
dents, all of the number residing in
the city of Cleveland and being young
women preparing themselves for teach-
ing in the Cleveland elementary grades.
The course of study is thoroughly vo-
cational and practical. Cultural studies
are given very little consideration. For
instance, the work in Mathematics,
English, History, and Science is plann-
ed for the direct service it will give
the prospective teacher in grade teach-
ing. Upon graduation, students have
places available for immediate work in
an initial
salary of $1200. The Celveland School
of Education makes no attempt to pre-
pare more teachers than the estimated
number needed by the Cleveland pub-
lic schools.
President Evans spent Thursday,
March 1, in Kalamazoo, Michigan, in-
specting the Western Michigan State
Normal College. This institution is
located on a hill somewhat higher than
Normal Hill and commands a very
fine view of the city of Kalamazoo. A

ian, the cook, or the neighbors next
door. Any disturbance of the well
imagined and visualized characters by
means of an inflexible voice and un-
imaginative personality would be in-
stantly reesnted. By means of her sym-
pathy, her adaotability, her pathos, her
musical infections laugh, Mrs. Haskell
can render the familiar characters more
real and give them even a more inti-
mate place in the family life.
She also renders negro dialect in a
manner that is almost startling by rea-
son of its reailty. It seems unbeliev-
able that the cultivated reader on the

but a word must be said in favor of I about that Dean Birdwell was on the
their stickability in practice. The fact
that the Bobcats and the Gypsies en-
tirely utilized the college gymnasium
made it necessary to build a floored
and partly walled out-door court for
the Lobos and Hobos. There have
been so many afternoons of bad wea-
ther when there was no place for them
io work out that it would almost have
been excusable for them to have given
up, but the Hobos stuck it out and will
show you a game worth seeing tonight.
Come out and support them like you
do the Bobcats, the Gypsies and the

Hill. Faculty and students alike were
glad to see and to speak a few words
to Mr. Birdwell, who is ex-Dean of
the Faculty of this college, now presi-
dent of the new Nacogdoches Normal.
Mr. Birdwell states that he hopes to
open the Stephen F. Austin Normal, as
-the Nacogdoches Normal will be called,
next September.
President Birdwell’s stay here was
only very short, not too short however,
for him to meet and shake hands with
his many friends here. It. just doesn’t
seem quite right *hat Dean Birdwell

Music filled the air around the cam-
pus of the Southwest Texas Normal
College last Wednesday morning when
the Y.M.C.A. and the Y.W.C.A. joined
forces in a campus Sing-Song. With
Miss Rita Tuttle as pianist and Miss
Edna Waters as song leader, the choir
of Y. W. girls was able to lead a large
group of boys and girls in singing both
old and new songs.
The chief attraction of the service
was the Y.M.C.A. chorus, composed of
twelve Normal students and directed
by Mr. Harry Talley of the faculty.
This was the first public appearance
of the chorus, according to the direc-
tor. The two numbers sung on this
occasion were “Gypsy Trail” and
“Swing Low, Sweet Chariot”. Both
were enthusiastically received by the
audienep. The boys forming the Y.M.C.
A. chorus are Harry Talely, Howard
Kier, John Carawan, Charlie Jowell,
Franklin Herndon Willie IDoyle, Jack
Morton, C. G. Guthrey, Alfred Ivey,
Earnest Adams, Wyatt Burkholder, and
Frank Allenson.
^America The Beautiful” was used as
an opening song. Margaret Weinert
had charge of devotions for the morn-
ing, and she read a psalm of song and
thanksgiving. “Follow the Gleam”, the
national Y.W.C.A. song, was sung as1
a closing hymn. As a dismissal,, the
pianist playe# s-oftly the chords of the
same song, while the students bowed
their heads in silent prayer.

NORMAL WILL SPONSOR
TRIANGULAR TRACK MEET
Bobcats, Lobos, Academy Cubs
And San Marcos Rattlesnakes
To Participate; Meet Promises
to Be Interesting One.
The Normal College track team will
meet its first competition • when the
quadrangular meet between the Bobcats
the Lobos, the . Academy Cubs and the
San Marcos High Rattlesnakes' is held
at Evans field on March 30: This will
be the first chance that we will have
to see this year’s crack track team in
action against any other school or
schools. '
The Lobos have not put out any avail-
able information but from all we can
find out they will probably not have
a^full team but will enter special events.
The High School always has a good
team and the Academy reports an ex-
ceptionally good one this year.
There is competition for every place
in all thirteen events for the Bobcats
and the following men have been show-
ing up exceptionally well: Horton and
Weir for the dashes; Hughes and Sho-
walter for the quarter and 'half; Winans,
Briggs, Kaderli and Showalter' for the
mile; Shelton and Gunn for the
hurdles; Shelton, Gunn, Showalter,
Coers, Weir, Hughes for the relay;
Warren, Hartung, and Horton for the
pole vault; Warren and Hartung for
the high jump; Shelton, Weir, "Coers
and Horton for the broad jump. • Coers,
Allenson, and Warren for the shot put
and the discus; and Shelton for the
javelin.
Track is one of the major sports at
this institution and it is the duty of
every student to come out and see the
meets. Don’t stay away because you
have stored in the dim recesess' of your
brain some memories of high school
meets in days long past. High ‘-school
meets were run off in a slow horesome
way then, but on the other hand, col-
lege meets of the present' day are run
of . much faster. J • Come' but! It rs
worth your’ while! ' ' ;i '
