EL TORO
by John
This fatalistic philosophy is quite
the berries. It surely does come
in handy. It just happened and
that is all—except yours truly felt
awful dawgone sorry.
El Toro has seen every game
this season that the Bobcats have
played and can truthfully say that
Toro never left the field after a
single game any prouder of the
Bobcats than Friday night at Com-
merce. They played clean sports-
manlike football from the first to
the last. The cup goes to Com-
merce; the reputation of the best
club in the loop comes to San
Marcos.
Speaking of national nuisances,
I’d like to make a nomination that
will probably be seconded by every
one who has had his picture made
for the Pedagog. I’ll bet lots of
ears are burning already and if
they’re not they should be. I refer
to those people who sit around and
grin or make wisecracks at you
while you’re being posed for a pic-
ture. Of course its funny but it
is also one of the rudest things that
can be done and if you were guilty,
you can lay your bottom dollar
that someone was hoping you’d
choke.

One of the most amusing inci-
dents we ever noted is a sentence
in the gtudent publication from
Daniel Baker. It seems as though
one of the Hillbilly linesmen re-
ceived a most severe mouth injury
in the Bobcat game. Later, in
speaking about it, the paper said:
. . . ,Daniel Baker , linesman will
be out of the next game, having
received somewhat the worst of
the deal when some big-footed Bob-
cat stepped in his mouth.” Tsk,
tsk, which one of you Cats confess
or own up to this business of being
“big-footed ?”
Did everyone get some of those
pretty colored cards they send out
to favorites of the professors? If
you didn’t, don’t feel hurt, feel in-
dividual. I heard someone remark
that he wished the cards were five
dollar bills—then he could buy that
$25.00 radio set.
In case you didn’t know it, it is
about 320 miles to Commerce in
daytime and about 1500 at night.
Just ask anyone who has driven it
at night. ^
We had our minds all made up
to register some vehement protests
and alibis but thank goodness, we
had time to think it all out so I
guess that we’ll just call it “that
way.” Our next plan was to philo-
sophize on fatalism, but then we
figured maybe you weren’t inter-
ested in some of our pet ideas so
yojuuare also spared that.

ANYBODY’S GAME
Coach Strahan to Shoot Works in
Homecoming Game Against
Denton Feathered Tribe
We haven’t heard from the Sim-
mons Brand since they mentioned
their Dutch Date campaign to you
but El Toro is awaiting with inter-
est to see how the affair is pro-
gressing. Personally, we like the
idea and wish power to it. Might
not be a bad idea to put into ef-
fect here. But it is just naturally
unpractical.
I hope that Joe Woosley will
read this next sentence. I would
like to have several copies of the
East Texan that carries the ad-
vance story on the Bobcat-Lion
game.
As a climax to the Denton-Bob-
cat grid battle and as a feature
of the college’s first annual Home-
coming, the Harris-Blair Literary
Society is presenting their annual
dance Friday night, November 24
in the college gymnasium. Admis-
sion charge will be 75c. Members
of the society are working diligent-
ly to make this dance the hit of
the season.
Chuck Woods and his famous
Gunter Hotel orchestra will fur-
nish the music for the occasion,
promising an excellent time for all
present. Chuck is planning .sever-
al new features which are sure to
make a big hit.
All ex-students of the College
have received invitations to attend
the dance, to renew old acquaint-
ances and to make new ones. Mem-
bers of the Denton grid eleven will
also be eligible to attend.
The members of Coach Oskie
Strahan’s fighting Bobcat team are
to be the honor guests of the Har-
ris-Blairs.
It is the purpose of the society
to make this dance a football
dance. The addition of the ex-
students to the expected attendance
of college students will wave Bob-
cat spirit to a new level. If Bob-
cat hopes come true, the dance
will be a celebration of a victory
over an ancient and deadly rival
who defeated the Cats in last year’s
championship go by a narrow mar-
gin.
Bids are being sent for dates
outside of the college but of course,
ex-students have already received
their bids through a bulletin sent
out from the dean’s office.
Students, support this dance and
make this Homecoming a glorious
return for the exes who have re-
turned to visit their Alma Mater.
The dance is scheduled to begin
at ten o’clock immediately after
the termination of the Bobcats’
last grid affair of the year.
Due to the fact that it immed-
iately follows the game, the dance
will be a sport dance.
By the way, we met Joe the
other day at Commerce. He is
editor-in-chief of the East Texan,
the student publication of the
Teachers College there. Very
pleasant gentleman with interest-
ing personality.
And by the way, we simply can’t
sign-off without even mentioning
the Gaillardian election. Did every
little lad get his girl nominated?
Isn’t is funny how modest all the
nominees are in predicting the suc-
cess for the others.

FOR DENTON GAME
Charge Will Probably Be 10 Cents;
Proceeds to Go to Give
Bobcats Banquet
Friday night at New Evans
Field the Bobcats will seek their
ninth win of the season at the ex-
pense of the almighty Denton
Eagles. Victory over the Eagles
would be doubly sweet for the two
elevens are ancient rivals and’last
year the feathered tribe plastered
a close 6-0 defeat on the local elev-
en to take the conference pennant.
Will Determine Runner-Up
The game will determine second
place in the Lone Star Conference
with either a win or a tie cinch-
ing the honor for the feline fami-
ly. Coach Oskie Strahan’s eleven
has a potent offense built around
Bob Porter, flashy backfield man
of all-conference fame while a pow-
erful forward wall deals misery to
opposing backs.
The game will close the colleg-
iate careers of Clyde Gott, star
quarter! Sandy Germer, hard-hit-
ting halfback; Abe Houston, all-
conference of last year; Bob Porter,
premier back of the conference;
Teddy Brunner, brawny tackle;
Russel Forester, scrappy guard
and Lamar Oltman, center.
The Cats will be out for blood
following the heart-breaking de-
feat absorbed at the hands of the
Commerce Lions last Friday. The
Cat forward wall led by Abe Hous-
ton, sterling end, and Ivo Schoppe,
Bobcat prospect for all-conference
center will be charging fast and
hard to stop the vaunted Eagle
ball-carriers. “Mule” Vaughn,
Dave Maggard, and Yarbrough are
sparkplugs in the Denton machine.
Pregram, flashy ball-lugger of the
tribe of Sisco must also be closely
watched. Nothing would please
Denton more than to smash the
Bobcats to close the season.
Bobcat followers would rather
see the felines trounce Denton than
any other school in the conference.
Very little edge can be given either
side when its Eagle versus Bob-
cat and dope is always even.
Some are inclined to fd!vor the
Bobcats but over-confidence must
be guarded against as one never
knows when San Marcos meets
Denton.
The starting lineups (just a
guess):

Ribbons with a picture of a
snarling Bobcat on each one will
be sold at a minimum price to
Bobcat supporters this week to
stimulate pep for the annual clash
between the Cats and the Denton
Eagles Friday night. The price
will probably be ten cents and the
colored ribbons can be secured
from most any student on the Hill
as a large number of salesmen will
be out. The idea is being sponsor-
ed by the Young Men’s Business
League of the town which is com-
posed of the younger professional
and business men of the town. A
number of ex-students from the
Hill are active members of the or-
ganization. The plan was defin-
itely decided oA at a meeting of the
Board of Directors Tuesday night.
The proceeds of the sale will go
to make up a fund to give the
Bobcats a banquet, honoring them
for their enviable record this sea-
son. Buy your tag and wear it be-
fore and during the game. Show
your Bobcat spirit.
Members of the Board of Direc-
tors are Hugh Williamson, Monroe
Lippman, Dr. Brown, Herman Al-
len, Henry Howell, Reagan Nes-
bitt, Tom Oliver, Jr., Charles Mor-
ton, and Allen Woods.
Ribbons will probably go on sale
this afternoon.

Porter Stars as Cats Fall Before
Bengals in Hard Luck
Battle at E. T.
Flashing their greatest offensive
form of the season the Bobcats
couldn’t overcome Dame Luck and
thus lost a heart-breaker to the
Commerce Lions last Friday night
at Commerce. Although they push-
ed the Lions all over the field the
Bobcats were unable to score for
the first time in eight games and
failed to retain their undefeated
status .
Paced by Bob Porter, sensational
ground-gainer arid last year’s all-
Conference back, the Cats amassed
a total of fourteen first downs and
256 yards from scrimmage while
the Lions were gaining 76 yards
from the line and registering two
first downs. Besides lugging the
leather 174 yards from scrimmage
Porter was on the tossing end of
three successful passes and contri-
buted a nice blocking and defensive
game for his team.
Lady Luck stepped down off her
high horse and gave the Lions the
championship in the third quarter
after the two teams had battled
scoreless through two periods.
Stevenson stood on his twenty-six
and booted a long roller to Por-
ter. For a moment it looked as if
Porter touched the ball as he ran
back under it. A Lion player
grabbed the ball and there was

On College Rules”
A bulletin of the United States
Dept, of Education gives some idea
of what was expected of the young
gild who went to college one hund-
red years ago from the Oberlin
catalogue for 1835:
“Young ladies of good minds, un-
blemished morals and respectable
attainments are received into this
department and placed under the
superintendance of a judicious lady
whose duty it is to correct their
habits and mold the female charac-
ter. They board at the public
table and perform the labor of the
steward’s department, together
with the washing, ironing, and
much of the sevdng for the stu-
dents. They attend recitations with
young gentlemen in all the dapart-
ments. Their rooms are entirely
separate from those of the other
sex, and no calls or visits in their
respective apartments are at all
permitted.”

Set For Thursday
Y.M.-Y.W. Hold First
Social Hour at Gym
The first social hour of the year
sponsored by the P.W. and Y.M.
was held in the college gym last
Saturday night from 7:30 to 10:30
for the diversion of any college
student.
About one hundred students en-
joyed the period of dancing and
games. Bridge, forty-two and
flinch attracted six tables, while
the remainder favored dancing to
the music of Mary Bessie Huling
and Tony Smith.
This social hour is open to all
college students and is a phase of
the social work of the Y.M. and
Y.W. Each Saturday the gym will
be the scene of similar social get-
togethers and all students have a
cordial invitation to attend.

There will be no general

because of the condition of

There will be a meeting of the
Board of Governors of the College
Players, Tuesday at 10:00 in the
| auditorium.
There is something new going
on at the gym! Girls are spending
their leisure hours engaging in
hard-fought “swatting” contests in
the handball courts of the gym. A
Boy Scout first-aid kit Is kept
handy in case a player gets sock-
ed in the eye or skins a knee.
To settle all arguments of su-
periority, an open handball tourna-
ment is scheduled to begin Thurs-
day—open to all college girls. A
ladder tournament will be held and
matches may be played any time
during the next few weeks. Be
on hand for the drawing Thurs-
day at 2 o’clock. If you can not
meet at that hour, post your name
on the bulletin board in the gym
so that your name will be in the
drawing.
Mr. H. M. Greene, professor of
history, spoke to the YMCA Tues-
day, November 21. His subject was
“How Fairly Are Wealth and Op-
p ortunity D i stributed ? ”
Mr. Greene pointed out that 98
per cent of the wealth of our na-
tion today has accumulated into
the hands of 2 per cent of the pop-
ulation. The other 2 per cent is
divided among 98 per cent of our
population.
He stated that one reason for
this unfair distribution was the
protective policy of the Federal
Government. The big man is giv-
en a monopoly and he cleans up.
The Bible passage to the effect that
it shall be given to those that
have and taken away from those
who have not is certainly operat-
ing. The one with the opportuni-
ty has all the chances to get more,
while those without opportunity sit
and wait and starve. Under-con-
The College Players open the
season in the college auditorium
on the evenings of Nov. 27 and 28
with a two night stand featuring
the great and only “Ten Nights in
a Barroom” with sterling and un-
paralleled entertainment between
acts. The shows will start prompt-
ly at eight-ten each night.
The play, as the hand-bills read,
is chuck full of chills and thrills
and tears and laughter. It is a
real old “mellerdrammer” of the
gay nineties. The College Play-
ers’ interpretation is frankly bur-
lesque so don’t be surprised when
and if the hissing starts.
Every effort has been made to
represent the mode of the pallid
nineties. Loyce Traylor, art di-
rector and scenic designer, has
been busily engaged in painting an
exact replica of a saloon interior
typical during the days of Demon
Rum and Ten Nights. Technical
Director Reagan Nesbitt and his
assistants Woods Smith, John
Dellney and Edward Kornegay, are
responsible for the construction of
the drops and the set.
In order to costume the players
authentically the Ward Robe Com-
mittee went to considerable trouble
in renting and borrowing costumes
for the characters. The splendid
cooperation of townsfolk in lend-
ing suitable clothing and other
properties was greatly appreciated
by those responsible for the cos-
tuming. Sarita Lewis and Mayme
Mayfield are in charge of the Ten
Nights costumes.
Those responsible for the col-
lection and care of the necessary
props are Jessie Lee Chamberlin
and Kathlyn Harber.
Jean Williams, Red Gideon and
L. C. Ramsey will give the fans
their money’s worth between acts.
Ramssey is slated to give his own
inimitable version of the benight-
ed stuttering man.
L. N. Wright is the company
manager, Mary Bess Huling the
company musician, and John
Brandstetter the business manag-
er.
The play has been directed, of
course, by Player Director Mon-
roe C. Lippman with Sally White-
sides acting as assistant to the di-
rector.
Prices of admission are: Adults
35 cents, children 15c, high school
and Academy students 25c and
college students will be admitted
on their blanket taxes.
The cast is as follows:
Sample Swlchel ...... York Willbern

There will be seven Gaillardians
this year to represent the student
body in the Pedagog. Ordinarily
there are only six but this year a
heated and extraordinarily close
election made necessary the addi-
tion of a seventh. There were two
ties, which fact explains the break-
ing of precedent. Places 6 and 7
were one of the ties.
The winners (alphabetically):
Mary Lillian Barnes
Leila Frances Coons
Virginia Davis
Myrtle Hardy
Agnes Kneuper
Beth Lancaster
Sarita Lewis
There was a heavy voting with
only a few votes separating each
of the candidates. A number of
votes unfortunately had to be
thrown out since the voters failed
to follow instructions and voted
for more than six or failed to sign
their names. Since the vote turned
out as it did, the publications com-
mittee decided to make the section
for seven this year instead of six.
The - polls were open from 8 to
12 and 1 to 4 yesterday with an
unusually large number of students
voting. The interest was illustrat-
ed in the closeness of the entire
race.
This is the second year that the
Gaillardians have been announced
immediately following the election.
The custom was inaugurated last
year when officials decided that it
usually leaked out anyhow and the
official announcement might as well
be made.
The winners of yesterday’s elec-
tion will have full page pictures
in the 1934 yearbook, the Pedagog,
forming the beauty and represen-
tative section.
College Band Makes
Trip to Commerce
sumption and not over-production
is our real trouble.
Mr. Greene then answered ques-
tions asked by those to whom he
had spoken.
The YMCA plans to sponsor two
more lectures upon this subject:
“What Can a Christian Student
Do to Help Distribute Wealth and
Opportunity Fairly?” and “What
is the Present Administration Do-
ing to Distribute Wealth and Op-
portunity Fairly?”
Come next Tuesday at 10 o’clock
and hear the first of these two
lectures.
Friday morning at 6:00 o’clock
the College Band left for Com-
merce to play for the football
game between the Bobcats and the
Etex Lions. Arriving during the
afternoon, they were assigned
rooms for the night. The band
marched on the field prior to the
game with the East Texas band.
At the half, the Bobcat band
paraded on the field forming the
letters Etex and SWTTC. The
crowd applauded generously both
formations and the band’s march-
ing. Three cars returned that
night and the rest came back Sat-
urday. Director R. A. Tampke
was in charge.
Automobiles to transport the
band members were generously
furnished by the following: Miss
Mitchell, Sox Younger, Otis Gary,
Jess Whittle, Grady Walker, E. L.
Keeling, S. M. Sewell, Mr. Autry,
Maurice Waldrip, Mrs. Donalson,
Addison Buckner, Fred Rylander
and Hubert Carnes.
Dr. Evans Addresses
Newman Club Sunday
Sunday morning, November 19,
President C. E. Evans presented a
talk to the Newman Club pertain-
ing to the subject of discovering
oneself. “Economy self, talent
self, and moral self” were the
three lines in his talk. For some
reason the Newman Hall could not
be obtained and the meeting was
held in the schoolhouse.
Immediately after the club ad-
journed the program committee
met and decided to have a com-
munion breakfast next Sunday. All
interested see Della Stukely by
Saturday.
