cilino that was found in the army of
the czar before tho revolution.
These Don Cossacks were part of the

495 Month; McMurry
A. C. C. Benefit
Additional allotments for students
whoso families have been affected by
drought were granted to Hnrdin-Sim-mons
university and McMurry college
J. C. Kellam state director of the Na-
tional Youth Administration announ-
ced last week.
An increase of $450 a month over
the original $900 was allotted Hardin-Simmons
and $390 was added to
McMurry college's original $690.
Officials of Abilene Christian col-
lege announced Wednesday that that

The new allotment at Hardin-Simmons
providcsNnid at $15 per month
to 33 students; at McMurry for 20
students and at A. C. C. for 19 stu-
dents the total increase 78 students.
To qualify for these additional
funds a student first must establish
he could not otherwise attend college
and second his family's income had
been reduced by drought conditions
Kellam announced. Enrollment of
students last year from areas which
this year are drought stricken was
the basis of increase in aid.

dents in Abilene schools now totals

300 Volumes To H-S Library
Mrs. J. W. Moffett has contributed
300 volumes from the private library
of her late husband to the library at
Hardin-Simmons university according
to announcement Saturday from the
university office.
The collection will be known as the
"Judgo and Mrs. J. W. Moffett Memo
rial."
Howard-Payne Hardin-Simmons in
the same article is again the object of
numerous pithy and libelous jibes from
the pen of Editor Bob English. Such
as the following may be read but over-
looked as nothing more than the usual
run of H.P.C.'s verbal barrages:
"We have a larger and better band
a smaller but more efficient pep Bquad
and in' all a better student body than
any that has ever graced or ever will
grace the H.-S.U. campus. Someone
sarcastically called Simmons a univer-
sity and they took him seriously and
have attempted In vain to give the
world the Idea that they were big and
quite above the common run of little
church schoobin Texas."(???7)
COACH SPORTS NEW BOOTS
Keeping in tempo with the phase
of western life his team repre-
sents Coach Frank Kimbrough
has donned a pair of Justin "Cow-
Proddcrs'" boots and brought his
Cowboy outfit up to par.
The new boots were presented
to the Ranchers' mentor last week
by W. A. Turnidgc Army Store
manager.
Requests Exceed
Applicants Shows
Placement Bureau
75 H.-S. U. Grads Find Jobs
Yet More Calls Come
For Teachers
"If recent requests for Hardin-
Simmons graduates for positions as
teachers and instructors in both high
and grade schools of Texas has any-
thing to do with improved economic
conditions then good times are just
nhcad" says Mrs. Emmett Landers
who has charge of tho university
teachers' placement bureau.
During tho summer thi3 department
assisted 75 students .who were grad-
uated with B. A. degrees during tho
1935-36 session to get their jobs as
teachers and instructors of Texas
youth.
"Every week during the summer we
had from 10 to 15 more requests for
teachers in excess of applicants for
jobs. And this unusual situation did
not let-up until about 10 days ago"
Mrs. Landers said. "This is the first
year in several that we have been ab
solutely 'swamped' with requests for
teachers and had no applicants to
recommend."
Most numerous of the unfilled re-
quests were for band conductors for
high schools; music teachers and
teachers of public school music. This
condition was brought about because
during the depression smaller schools
were forced to curtail their fine arts
programs. Now that times are better

Bigger Orchestra
Foreseen for 1936
"Hardin-Simmons symphony orches-
tra is like the Cowboy band bigger
and better than ever" said Herbert
M. Preston conductor and teacher of
violin this week.
The group has had two rehearsals

university students who qualify for
this type of music one hour of elec-
tive credit per semester is given those
who pay a tuition charge of one dol-
lar. The musician organization meets
ever Wednesday night at tho First
Baptist church and plays the prelude
for tho service each Sunday night. At
present a chapel program is being pre-
pared. Tryout will bo held a little later

Hundreds of Hardin-Simmons stu
dents fans and alumni arc converging
on Wichita Palls this morning as
Coach Frank Kimbrough's Cowhands
prepare to take to Coyote field at 2:30
o'clock this afternoon against Texas
A. & M.
Termed the "Dream Game of North
Texas' by enthusiastic sport writers
pro-game indications were for a sell-
out. Late yesterday all reserved scats
in the cast and west bleachers were
gone except a few hundred and they
arc not expected to last until noon to-
day. The classic marks the third year
Wichita Falls has played host for Hardin-Simmons
against foreign opposi-
tion. To Ride Train
By rail bus and automobile the
crowd was descending upon Wichita
Falls today. More than 100 Hardin-
Simmons students late last night had
indicated their intention of riding to
the game in special coaches attached
to the regular Wichita Valley train.
Tho group was slated to leave Abilene
at 6 o'clock this morning. Many more
were planning to ride to tho game in
busses and private automobiles
As the Cowmen left Abilene yester-
day for the scene of hostilities it was
announced that Capt. Pcto Tyler and
Burns McKinney who usually alter-
nate at left halfback may both be in
the starting lineup against the Farm-
ers. Along with Tyler and McKinney
will be Conway Frost and Si Adding-
ton. Two Fullbacks Out
Kimbrough expects his fullback Ed
Cherry who missed tho entire Baylor
game to play no more than five min-
utes. The big fellow needed worse
now than ho will be at any other part
of the season is reported almost too
lame to strike a trot. Jack Hinrichs
his understudy also is on tho shelf
with injuries.
Tyler has been ill most of the
week and neither he no r McKinney
will be able to last long. A second
backfield will be ready for quick re-
lief directed by Day Emery dimin-
utive junior who specializes in pass
throwing.
In contrast with the backfield the
Cowboy line is in its best condition
of tho year to date.
