1 THE CHERNIAVSKY TRIO COMING.
i Jan Chernlavsky the brilliant pianist
'who will appear here on the Simmons
Lyceum Course with his two dis
"tlriguished brothers Leo and Mischel in
.eeneert says:
' "I believe we have traveled mo're than
any other artists In the world I feel that
I am modest in making this statement. We
have toured Africa three times New Zea-
-land four times Australia three times.
China twice and once we were in Japan.
In addition we have appeared in all the
leading cities of Europe India Canada
. and the United States."
t He laughed when asked about after the
war conditions In Australia from which
country they have Just returned for their
American tour.
"Business was never better in the Anti-
podes than at present. There is a general
air of 'prosperity in Australia and the
( resident of that: country realise it. It Is

TWO FACULTY MEMBERS
HAVE WORDS WITH COP
Perhaps the most amusing incident con-
nected with Saturday's game was the box
ing bout which was slaped on the band
rostrum at the WEST TEXAS Fair
grandstand. The principles of this fistic
exhibition were no other than two of SIM-
MONS COLLEGE'S august faculty mem-
bers. At the crucial moment of the gam- ;ust
before the COWBOYS first touchdown it
seems that in order to get a belter irw
of the game the afore mentioned gentle
men one' of whom was rather portly and
the other more of a slim Jim had climbed
the rail which separates the grandstand
from the space reserved for nx scats but
which at that time was being used as a
band stand. When the pass wliMi netted
the first touchdown was lomplctcJ these
two gentlemen becamo very exuberant in
spirits. The result was a sham battle with
fists as the weapons used.
The spectors were deprived of seeing1 a
fistic combat which would hare perhaps
attained jCarpentier-Dcmpsey proportions
as regards to skill and technique when a
fat gentleman with a police badge on his
coat and a fine display of. hardwarj on his
right hip climbed the rail nnd laid detain-
ing hands on the combatants "What do
you birds mean by starting a rousn house
here" the cop asked. Then beforo cither
could reply "I guess both of you had bet-
ter come with me and pay a fine." Just
then the portly one found his voice "Wc
were only celebrating because of our
teams scoring." "That's a funny way to
celebrate" growled the cop. "But I will
let you off this time and if I catch you
again I will fine both of you."
But before he let them go he asked
them for their names and addresses as
an after thought the slim one added "We
are professors at Simmons." The cop re-
plied "Well professors or not you had
better get. off that rail and not let me
catch you here again." The two gentle-
men who were none other than Dr. D. W.
Arnette and Prof. C. C. Rister head of
the biology department and head of the
history department respectively readily
complied with the cop's 'suggestions.
SUNDAY SCHOOL INSTI-
TUTE ENROLLS FORTY
Thirty-five or forty Simmons students
and several members of the faculty have
enrolled in the Sunday school institute in
progress this week at First Baptist Church
according to M!ss Margaret Goodnight
superintendent of the Sunday school.
The first service was held Sunday after-
noon. Mr. L. W. Wiley introduced the
members of the faculty one of whom was
Dr. W. S.' Wiley from Muskogee Okla.
whom he said "lie had known pretty well
for a long time." Dr. Wiley then made
an Instructive talk on how to deal with
the "fidget" and "fight" and 'fun" in
boys and girls in Sunday school.
Devotional meetings begin at 6:15
o'clock each evening then class work at
6:30 o'clock. A bell rings at 7:30 and
every one makes for the basement to get
his place at tho supper table. Classwork
is resumed after supper and at 9 o clock
tho program is concluded by an inspiring
lecture.
"New Normal' Manuel" "Winning to
Christ" "Juniors: How to Teach Them"
"Cradle Roll Beginners and Primary
Methods" "New Testament Studies" and
"Doctrines of Our Faith" are the books
being studied taught by Mr; W. P. Phil-
lips Mr. W. S. Wiley Miss Forbes Miss
Hardin Mr. W. H. Sims and L. Wiley
respectively.
Many. of the Simmons students have
diplomas for the completion of the. first
book and are working for the red seal ob-
tained for the completion of any three
books or the blue .seal obtained when all
the books have been finished.
4 CHERNIAVSKY EXPERIENCE.
It is remarkable that Leo Jan and
Mischel Chernlavsky still only young
men should have been able to cram so
much experience into their lives during
their visits to over thirty countries. Their
travels have occupied them for a period of
about twenty years.
During their last visit to Cape1 Colony
In South Africa they volunteered to visit
Robin Island the famous little isle where
lepers have found an asylum. At least one
hundred lepers bad the joy of hearing the
music of the Chernlavsks. It. was a great
ordeal for the artists but one that they
have never regretted for the tragedy of the
island and its inhabitants who are all
lepers burned Itself deep into the hearts
fif. the Russians. Never had they faced
anything so appalling in all their career
since a pogrom in Russia. The fearfully
deep lines on the faces of the' victims of
tliis dread disease the haunting nervous
glances of the multitude of eyes the dis-
agreeable odor of the assembly which was
composed of whVrfblack and eolored men
and women combined to form an almost
overpowering force that was caldulated to
strain to the; bending point the highly
strung nervous systems of the perform-
ers. These Russian artists Leo Jan and
Misehel Chernlavsky violinist pianist and
'cellist respectively are creating sen
satione everywhere they play in America
and there advent here ia looked forward! to
Milk more than banal' interest. They will
appear here on the Simmons Lyceum
DRIVEWAY WILL BE
CLOSED TO VISITORS
HEREAFTER BY CHAINS
Simmons College is furthering her move
toward clearing the campus of distracting
disturbances by closing the drive way to
all forms of. traffic except during the late
afternoon hours.
Posts havo already been set at the open-
ing of the driveway and soon chains will
be placed thcro by which tho public will
be forced to drlvo on down Hickory
street instead of driving around the drive-
way by tho halls. This will slop the use-
less travel of cars around the campus dis-
turbing the halls during study hours.
. Some means however will be provided
for by which students will be allowed to
park their cars conveniently close to' the
administration buildings without disturb-
ing the classes.
During the hours between 4 and 6 p. m.
visitors will be allowed to drive around the
campus and visit at the halls if they de-
sire. Other hours if they desire to visit the
halls they will park their cars on Hiikory
street and tako the walk to the hall.
As soon as this work is completed it
must be approved by the city commission
thus giving this ordinance the protection
of the city police.
MARY-E'S MAKE THIRTY
INITIATIONS ON FRIDAY
At the regular meeting Friday evening
the Mary E.'s hurried through their busi-
ness and went into the invitation of thir-
ty or more' new members. "
Each new. member was blind folded in
the hall and led in before the onlookers.
She was then handed a nice fat worm to
fondlo in her fingers. Having done this
to her satisfaction she Was made to cat
the worm. The next thing in order was
to waslr her hands. This she did rather
spasmodically as the water Was charged
with electricity. The blind fold was then
removed also her shoes. She was shown
a bunch of long nails with the points turn-
ed up and made to run and jump bare-
foot upon. them.
Happily the worms proved to be spaghet-
ti' and the nails were made of rubber.
The entire performance was punctuated
with shouts and laughter and was' im-
mensely enjoyable to all present even to
those being innitiatcd.
On last Friday afternoon the Mary E.
Society met with such a large number
present' that even standing roonnwas
limited. The treasurer appointed 'a very
important committee of four collectors of
dues consisting of Mildred Davis Smith
Hall; Willie Yandell Mary Frances Hall;
Gladys1 Reddell College. Heights and Al-
lene Goodnight down town.- Gladys Red-
dell" was then elected press reporter. Sev-
eral new members were enthusiastically re-
ceived. The new members were theri al-
lowed to wait in the balcony until they
were brought in to undergo the mysteries
of "Mary E. ism." A large number of
young women were approperately thrilled
by "Head Initiation" Cleo Motes aided
by others of the society.
Every one went away with a smile having
enjoyed the afternoon's .entertainment and
determined to be present at the next meet-
ing when several others will be initiated.
JUNIOR CLASS CHOOSES

At their regular meeting on last Tues-
day evening the Junior Class elected

All Junior girls who can do so .were
urged to report for basketball practice on
Wednesday afternoon at 5 o'clock. The
Junior team intend to make it lively for the

Imagine the scene; A big comfortable
chair Lula Mae snuggled down in it her
head leans back so that she can look into
the face of the' man who is bending so
attentively over her
N. li rnAr tila nrm around her. Her
head is pressed against his heart. SpeachJ
at this time wouiu no imposuuic.
Then we hear her struggled whisper:.
"Oh dear you hurt;" -In a low earnest
voice he says "Well I simply cannot help
hurting you a little bit." v
Again there Is only silence they seem
perfectly contented.
" It Is not long however that they re-
main in this position. He does not seem
content with what he can see of. her face.
Ho bends farther so that he con see into
well into her mouth.
Because of course it is the dentist re-
pairing her teeth.

"My friends" exclaimed the eloquent
minister "were the average man to turn
and look himself squarely in the face and
ask himself what lie needed the most.
What would be the first reply" he would
think of?"
"A rubber neckl" shouted a youngster
in the rear of the room. Exchange. '
YEAGER QUARTERBACK
STAR IS BURIED ON
DENTONITES CAMPUS
One thousand people looked bn last Fri-
day night while a masked band of K. K.
K.' burned Yeager tho Simmons' star
quarterback on the campus of the North
Texas State Normal College at Denton
Texas.
Sometime after dark the whole "Normal"
student body of over a thousand was' call
ed out of boarding houses and homes by a
band of masked men marching down tho
street leading the famous Yeager by a
rope around his neck. In a short time
every one was following the Klan and all
were demanding the life of Yeager.
Tho victim was taken to a prominent
plade on the campus hanged and burned
in the name of Tho' Kcan Kollcgo Klan.
The yell leaders' then held an interesting
pep meeting and all predicted that a vic-
tory would be won the next day over Sim-
mons. But as Yeager himself said "They will
havo to burn more than one dummy to stop
the Cowboys" so we understand the 6-0
victory for Simmons and why Yeager is
today entering the hard Phillips Univer-
sity scrap without a scratch.

COWBOYS LOAF BUT
TAKE GAME FROM
DENTON NORMALITES;
Loafing through the first quarter the!
oimmons owuoys nnauy succeeded in
whipping out a 6-0 victory over the North
M w.maiitwa at ischium lusi uiuruay.'
Tho Cowboys were greatly hampered by)
injuries that several of the players re-
ceived in the T. C. U. contest last week
but wero able after the first quarter to
keep the Normalltes out of striking:
distance of the goal.
Denton started off with a snap in tho
opening quarter of tho fight. Kicking the1
ball down the field for fifty yards on the!
kick-off the ball fell into the waiting:
arms' of Tabdr right halfback for the Cow
boys who. returned seventeen yards. Aj
fumblo that cost Simmons eighteen yards
forced Yeager to punt out of danger for
forty-five yards Thrco line plunges'
proved sufficient to give the Teachers first
down.
A long end run by West and a gain
of nine yards' on q pass from West td
Davidson again gave the Teachers first
down. A pass from Goode to Langfora
and sweeping end run by Myers agairl
made first down.' The Cowboy jlntf
strengthened however and the Normality
were forced to give up tho hall on downs.
Fumbles and poor teamwork came near
proving costly for tho Cowboys in thi
initial quarter. Urban and Yeager aucj
ceeded in making first down through the
line however and thus probably saved
the game for the Cowboys. Steadying
themselves somewhat they marched down
the field to Denton's twenty-five-yard linej
where Denton intercepted a long pass from
Dillingham to Yeager. )
Denton was again able to make first
down by terrific plunges and long end
runs. Three plunges and a five-yard pen-
alty against Simmons again made first
down for the Normalites. Simmons inter?-
cepted a long pass but another off-sidi
penalty forced Yeager to kick. Tiie ball
landed in Myers' liands forty-five yards
away and he succeeded in returning ten.
The Cowboys line held again and Myerl
was forced to kick. The ball went straight
upward and rolled over the sideline havj-.
ing advanced only three yards.
In the second quarter the Cowboys bq-
gan to show more form and in the early
minutes a thirtv-vard nass from Yeager ti
jacobson placed the ball near the fivd-
yard line. Urbam went over lor the tirst
and only touchdown. Yeager failed t6
kick goal for the first time. Score: Simr
.mons 6; Denton 0.
lhirk kicked off fifty-four yards to
Goode who returned twenty-four. Deri-
ton lost two yards for fifth time out.
West and Myers were unable to gain on
end runs and plunges and McCray kicked
twenty-five yards to Urban who returned
two yards. Urban made three yards
through center. Harkrider made two yards
around end and Urban made first down on
the next play. Harkrider and Dillinghath
mado five yards each and first down oh
an end run and plunge. Burk was pen-
alized fifteen yards for rougliness. .
Yeager then tried n place kick but fail-
ed. Denton punted forty yards to Yeagef
and" the speedy little quarterback raced
down the field for a twenty-yard return. A
pass to Hull from Yeager netted first dowri.
Dillingham and Urban mado first down
on plunges. Dillingham made six yards
through left tackle. The half ended wit i
the ball in Simmons possession on Dei-

play kicked thirty-five yards. No return
was made. i
Dillingham and Urban foiled to make
first down on three attempts and YesgeY

made a beautiful pass to Jacobson for
a thirty-five-yard gain. Camp had sub-
stituted for Harkrider and took thnie
yards through left Jackie. Cooper Inter-
cepted a pass from Yeager to Jacobson...
McCuy then tried a pass to Coope

through left tackle. A pass from Griffitit
to Longford failed and McCray punted
twenty yards to Camp who returned ten.
Urban gained six yards through left
guard. Dillingham then made first dowh
ni twn Tiluncres. The Cowboys .could make
only four yards in three downs and tHe (
ball was' on uentons iweive-yaru line.
Yeager tried a pass to Urban as a lost
resort but foiled to advance.
Denton then tried four plunges and suj
ceeded In gaining first down. McCray
rushed center for five yards. Denton lost
the boll on a costly fumble however and
Urban gained first down through the line.
Three end runs failed to advance and

yards and the quorter ended with the
ball on Denton's thirty-two-yard line.

SIMMONS STUDENTS
MAKE GETAWAY WITH
DENTON BANNER SAT.
"Tills ain't no Bull we have got the
Goat of Simmons College" were the
words cnscrlbed upon a banner encircling
tho body of a very gentle Cow followed
by a goat elaborated decorated with pur
pie and gold ribbons and pennant. This
procession was ushered in at the north
gate- of the Denton Normal athletic field
Saturday October 11th the anniversary of
tho gamo played last season on Parramore
field between tho same teams. It was then
that tho school teachers appropriated the
Simmons banner which was recovered
later. The untruth of tho boast printed on
the bit of canvas carried by the cow was
rubbed in by the final score of the game
and the clever work of Tom Lander Ern-
est Lee and Fish Wright who were re-
sponsible for tho display of the' bit of
canvas in chapel Tuesday morning.
The stunt procession passed- in review
before the throng of Normal students and
fans just before the starting whistle of the
game and was present on the sideline
through the first two quarters and again
made its appearance between halves. But
by this time the goat had absorbed the
Cowboy spirit as evidenced by the of-
fensive manner in which it smashed goat
fashion into tho short ribs of the cow
when being' led around the second time.
Shqrtly following this when interest in
the game was at its highest Ernest Lee
tore the banner from the .cow threw it
over the fence to "Fish" Wright who was
waiting in "Snuff HarreU's car together
with Tom Lander. The pair wasted no
time in making their getaway to the coun-
try were .the booty was hidden until fifteen
minutes before the victorious Cowboys
boarded a west-bound train.
This incident is an interesting sequel to
the affairs of last year when Denton car
ried off a Simmons banner after defeat-
ing the Cowboys on the Total field.. Two
Simmons students Lynn McAllister and
Spinks Pearson followed Me "Teacher
to Denton to recapture the banner. They
enrolled as students and after several days
of "sleuthing" got possession of the ban-
ner and brought It back to "Simmons.
It is reported that three "Teacher
have sworn "to get the banner' or die? and
that they are In Abilene now. The Sim-
mons students are on the lookout for them
with every intention of helping; them get
back to Denton as rapidly os possible
without the banner.

then kicked thirty-five' yards. Yeager
punted forty-five yards after making one
attempt to gain. Langford returned ten
yards. Pass Goode to Langford failed.
Camp intercepts pass and returns five
yards but bn the next play fumbled.
Yeager succeeded in returning the ball to
around Denton's five-yard line when the
whistle sounded. Score: Simmons 6;
Denton 0. '
As for stellar football there was none
of it. Yeager' punting was probably the
greatest asset Simmons had. Urban proved
an excellent ground gainer and was able
to advance the ball on every line plunge.
At no time did any of the men appearrto'
snap into the play as they should have
done. Jacobson s speed at left end enabled
him to get away with several of Yeager'
passes for a long gain.
For the Teachers Myers and West' were
unquestionably the superior. The two
halfbacks were speedy and more than once
ripped off good gains around the' Cow-
boys' ends and through the line. 'How
ever their passing Was poor which caused
them to lose downs more than once.
