TEXAS FRIDAY OCTOBER 9
critics rate as one of the top-
ranking American authors of the
twentieth century. The play was
a Pulitzer Prize winner the year
it was produced on Broadway.
A character comedy which
ranks high in American literature
the play is a variation of the
Cinderella theme. Lulu Bett the
34-year old unmarried sister of
Ina Deacon has become the ser-
vant in the house of her sister
and brother-in-law Dwight Dea-
con and has resigned herself to a
life of drudgery.
But Dwight's romantic brother
Ninian returns after 20 years of
travel and adventure and to the
bewilderment of the family he
marries Lulu and carries her
away. The complications which
arise from the situation and
from Lulu's return after Ninian
confesses that he has another
wife who may still be alive are
richly comic.
Elizabeth Grubb instructor in

Norma Cook junior editor; Ruth
Lawrence sophomore editor; Jo
Ann Stuard freshman editor; Jo

Student - Filled Train
Will Depart View 10:00
About 300 Hardin-Simmons stu-
dents and other Cowboy rooters
will board a special train this
evening and journey to Houston
to attend the Hardin-Simmons-Rice
game which will be played

row. The train which will leave
View at 10:00 is being sponsored

formed groups will be guests of
the Hardin-Simmons ex-students
in the Houston area for the even-
ing meal at Bill William's Res-
taurant. The group will return to the
campus Sunday morning.
Favorites
Perhaps the support of the stu-
dent body the Cowgirls and the
Cowboy band will be a contribut-
ing factor towards a fine show-
ing by Hardin-Simmons. The
Cowboys will definitely be the
underdogs against Rice a team
that was picked to win the
Southwest Conference crown.
Texas BSU

dent Union Convention will be

Southwest Conference
In 1942 the Pokes emerged vic-
torious over Baylor and SMU.
The story was the same then
the Cowboys were not given
much of a chance at that time
either. D. C. Andrews and Wayne
Adams co-captains will be lead-
ing the team in this contest. Dee
Windsor Chester Lyssy and Ed
Crow all seniors will be playing
against a Southwest Conference
foe for the first time in their
football careers.

larreal leading ground gainers for
the Cowboys can be expected to
be in the thick of the excitement.
Williams was the seventh best
rusher last year across the nation.
Although the Cowboys have
been competing on the gridiron
;since 1897 this will be their
first meeting with the Owls.
The game will mark the first
time that Coach Murray Evans
has vied with a member of the
SWC as head coach. He was as-
sociate coach when the Cowboys
played Baylor and SMU in 1942.
But for another member of the
H-SU staff meeting a Southwest
Conference team will be old stuff.
He is Sam Baugh former TCU
great and Washington Red Skin
professional who is now a mem-
ber of the H-SU staff.
