SrtYiTWnkSo? VIRGINIA EPLEY IS ELECTED SPONSOR BY VARSITY SQUAD
Tell me if I am wrong about it but
It seems to me there la quite a bit of
the proper kind of enthusiasm pep to
you being created in these here parts
this week. (This is -written in the
first part of the week but I'll bet I
don't have to change a bit of it.) Citi-
tens who throw orchids about from
place to place too freely usually make
other citizens sick but even so and
notwithstanding or something we can
not (meaning I cannot) refrain from
bowing and scraping low in the direc-
tion of cheer leaders Dillon Oober
and Moore and band director Jimmle
King for thn style used in getting pep
rallies off so successfully from the
very start. That's to use the ver-
nacular the hot stuff kids.
Kdltor Grady was bo very very
pleased with the compliments be re
ceived after the nrst issue or toe joi-
leglan reached the eager and waiting
or vice versa hands of the students
last week he decided something must
be done about it. So forthwith he be
gan tapping Hat Ellis on the Bhoulder
trying to break into the conversation
to make a few suggestions in his dl
rection. When finally the dames were
shoo-ed away and the scene was clear
ed two young men decided to get out
the paper again. Behold and lo here
it is. They liked the way the first was
tecelved und appreciated suggestions
which is a bit of a hint if you can
take it.
Reading a selection in the English
I text book (yeah really!) the other
p. m. I saw this: Your journalist at
his worst is an artist in his way; he
daubs paint . . . upon the lily with
a professional zeal; the more flagrant
(or to use his own word arresting)
the pigment the happier bis soul. Like
the Babu ... he is trying all the
while to embellish our poor language
to make it more floriferous more poe-
ticallike the Babu for example who
reporting his mother's death wrote
"Regret to inform you the hand that
rocked the cradle has kicked the buck-
et." If I ever quote such a long state-
ment as that again take me out be-
hind the barn and shoot me. But we
journalists must stick together and
give each other the breaks.
(Editor's note: The writer quoted
from Sir Arthur Qulller-Couch in the
preceding paragraph.)
(Author's note: I know it you mug
out who ever heard of Sir Arthur
Qulller-Couch?)
i bailor's note: You Just Bald you
wnicrs must stick together.)
i Author's note: Yeah I know you
win now let me finish this column
will you?)
Yes sir the writers of America are
just one big happy brotherhood with
never a cross word among the lot of
em.
The young man (frosh) who made
the Inspiring (no kidding) talk at pep
wily Monday night was Barton Ball
of Farmersvllle. In public speaking
class last week he stated that Dallas
s forty miles out of Farmersvllle and
inat the town has running lights and
electric water or something. But to
Ret on with the story one of the soph-
omores got Ball's name confused dur-
n football practice the other day and
uht the first name waa Batton.
(Continued on page 4)
.. Student! and Faculty we must support our Bil-
. We are a part of the game and if we fall down
nt can we expect of the team? Our spirit has
fen sadly declining for the past five years the
Daniel Baker Spirit must not continue decadent!
.. Get behind our boys and shove shove until
W have reached that ultimate goal then keep
"nt on shoving.
Varsity Chooses

Constitution
Program
In observance of Constitution Week
Tuesday morning's chapel exerclso
was conducted by the American Leg-
Ion Post of this city. Constitution
Week is being observed throughout
the nation for on September 17 1787
our Constitution was drawn by a
gioup of thirty-nine men.

Introduced the other visitors. Besides
the spakcr Dr. I. K. Floyd Mr. Fred
Donohue adjutant of the post Mr.
Gus Rosenberg and Mr. Rex Gnlther
commander of Service Company 142
of the National Guard were present.
In his address Dr. Floyd asserted
that there Is a greater danger of our
Constitution being put aside today
than ever before. He further stated
thnt the Constitution has made Amer-
ica what It is today and if the present
one Is not sufficient one should be de
vised that will conform to the present
day Ideas. In addition he pointed our
that most all recent revolutions In for
elgn countries have been caused by
students. A statement that all Amer-
ican students should heed.
One of our ex-students Charles
Brlnkley was a visitor on the campus
last week. He Is now attending Sem-
inary In Austin. Several others who
attended Daniel Baker in the past ate
students there. Among those are Billy
Logan and George Sullivan.
Students Attend
What this school needs is to hear the clear tones
of that Victory Bell that has so often sounded in
the past. There is a thrill coming from every toll
of that bell. But last year we did not hear that bell
once ring after a game had ended. The '33 team
1arlcd that aDirit they were not adequately sup
ported from the side lines.

L08T ONE APARTMENT
Apartment lost some place in South
Side Chicago. Please notify
and receive reward. The lost people
were visitors of the World's Fair.
They got ready to go home and their
home turned up absent. Police car-
ried the couple over the city for eight
hours. Finally they had to turn to
the paper for aid. The landlord came
to claim his clients.

Ex-Students Wed
In Cross Plains
Miss Helen Eugenia DeMarcus and
William Malcom Gibson both popular
ex-students of Daniel Baker were
quietly married in Cross Plains Wed-
nesday at the First Presbyterian
Church Rev. Collins officiating. The
ceremony was witnessed by Seaborn
Collins and Lorraine Lockett also ex-
students. The couple left Immediately after
the ceremony for a short wedding trip
to Abilene before going to Amarillo
where they will make their home. Mr.
Gibson is teaching and coaching in tho
public schools there.
Bill Gibson attended Daniel Baker
College where he was graduated last
year. He was an athlete of no mean
ability. Hc lettered in track football
and basketball for three years. He
was a member of the golf club and
editor of The Trail last year.
Mrs. Gibson was a popular student
of Daniel Baker for two years. She
was also a student In the College of
Industrial Arts for a year. While at-
tending Daniel Baker she was an ac-
tive member of the Coggln Society
and Fine Arts department.
The stadents here and their other
many friends extend their congratu
lutions to the couple wishing them
much happiness in the future.
Cheer Leaders
Elected Friday
At a meeting of the student body
immediately after chapel Friday Billy
Dillon senior and Buster Gober
sophomore were elected cheer leaders
for the 1934 season. The selection
was made by acclamation.
Dillon was cheer leader last year
and proved so popular and skillful
if the word can be used in that connection-
that the students were unan-
imous almost in their selection of him
as head cheer leader this year.
The freshman class in a called
meeting on the same day elected R.
Florence as freshman
cheer leader.
Moore who is rather
tall rather dark and rather hand-
some has already become a well-
known n well-liked figure on the cam-
pus and has fallen in line with Billy
and Buster in a manner indicating
that the three of them are going pla-
ces in a large manner this year in
regard to getting the old pep and en-
thusiasm on the up and up for the
remainder of the season.
Tho pep leaders were on hand Mon-
day night at tho first pep rally with a
full program of yells and songs map-
ped out and they put themselves into
the work so much that the first rally
was unusually successful. Likewise
the same can be said of the Wednes-
day night rally.
Jako McCulley: Whew I've got to
get a new siren for my car.
J. D. Donnell: What happened to
that little brunette you used to run
around with?
with that fight to win. And who's fault was it?
Yours and mine I Let's come out for the first kick-
off and stick till the season whistle has sounded
Freshmen Uppers and Faculty you have your
chance to play a position that is too often outplay-
ed. Attend all the pep rallies; meet the team and
the coach; give them something to FIGHT FOR.
Passing Fray Is
Expected
Coaches Gene Taylor and Wallace
Meyers put the finishing garnish on
the Billies at the Howard Payne sta-
dium last evening under the flood-
lights. Most of the evening was given
to defensive and offensive tactics of
passing. They expect an aerial attack
that has never been seen In these
parts before. An attack from the air
would be welcome taking the beefy
Frogs line into consideration. The
Frogs will average over 200 from end
to end. The Billies do not have one
man that will weigh 200. But they
have the fight that it takes to put the
bigguns on the run.
Arville Adams or Pete Roach will
get the call for center. Tommy Webb
and Wade Clark will probably start
at guards but Fred Sailings and Carey
Sinclair will see service at these posi-
tions eer the game is far gone. Glenn
Montgomery and Talmadge Head will
take the tackles with Red Whlttaker
and Glenn Walker ready to relieve.
Cy Rutledge Frank Coker and 'Beans'
Morris all veteran ends will take care
of those positions. Captains Reaves
Hickman and Bill White along with
"Nubbin" Snodgrass are sure to start
in the backfield. It will be a toss up
between "Father" Little Medford
Conger and Herman Gipson for the
quarterback post. Herman probably
has the edge. (He played the best
game of his career last season against
the Simmons Cowhands. In fact Her-
man turned in the best game of any
one on either side.)
Probable Frog Line-Up
Captnin Coleman will start at quar-
ter Jimmle Lawrence and Dutch
Kline at halves and Thadon Manton
at full. This back field averages more
than 180 pounds and they have speed
to spare. All are good at the passing
game the only fault is that there is
no good punters in the lot. (We hope
not at least.)
Three injuries to linemen will make
the selection of these positions rather
doubtful. Hill a tackle of a mere 240
pound frame is out for sure. He has
acquired nn extra floating rib in re
cent workouts. Darrell Lester will
take the center position. Kelland and
Harrison will take the guard posi-
tions. L. D. Meyer and Truelson will
be found in the tackle slots and Mel-
vln Diggs and Walter Roach will ap-
pear on the wings.
Students come out tonight and see
one of the traditional battles of the
season. It will be T. C. U. coaches
pitted against ex.-T. C. U. football
stars in fnct all are ex-studente of
the Frog university.
BRAIN POOD
Peanuts and bananas have been
found to be the best food for the
brain. Until recently it was thought
that fish was the best brain food.
In all families one of the partners
Is Invariably a better saver of finances
than the other and in the majority of
cases it is the woman if she is given
the chance and trusted.
