The School of Fine Arts, during the past year, received its share in the general growth and prosperity of the University. The attendance in all departments has reached a total of one hundred and seventy-five, and the enrollment in the classes of the Theory of Music, one hundred and fifty-live. In the addition of equipments many improvements have been made. Of these the most useful and beneficial was the purchase of an Aeolian Orchestrelle to illustrate the instru- mental and vocal music of great composers in the classes of the Theory of Music. The orchestra has also been materially strengthened by the addition of a bassoon, oboe and kettle- drums. The increased attendance has made it possible to give a larger number of recitals, concerts and entertainments than heretofore. The following is a brief statement of the year's record: the number of public recitals, including those of the graduates completing various courses, twenty: public concerts by University organizations, five, plays by the Department of Expression, three, an opera and oratorio by the Department of Voice. Of the concerts, three were given by the orchestra, one by the band and one will be given by the graduates during commencement week. The Department of Expression has staged the four-act drama, Charity Ball, The Strength of the Weak, and is preparing the Senior Class play, The Pri- vate Secretary. The four-act opera, Carmen, was given by the Department of Voice and the oratorio, , The Messiah, will be sung, as usual, in June during commencement week. Vol IV THE MISTLETOE.

The I907 football season opened with brighter prospects than for a number of years. Campbell of Edmond, Armstrong of King- fisher, Wantland from Purcell, Howard from Friends' University, at Wichita, Kansas, Rogers from Drury College, at Springfield, Missouri, and a few others, some who had played and others who had not, made up the new men who had a chance to make the team. The O men who reported for another season were Wolf, Price, Long, Douglas, Walling, Acton, Thompson, Hughes and Cross. Thompson and Howard soon left on account of sickness. Hughes, a valuable man in the back field and a good punter, was barred on account of studies. Last year scrubs who made good this year were Browns, Allen, Radcliffe and Lisman. Our first big game, which was with Kansas, at Norman, was lost as usual, but the defeat was due more to the lack of a coach than to a better team. Two weeks before this game, Bennie Owen, our coach, lost his arm causing him to be away from the team for about an month. The team never made up this lost time. Captain Cross v'as injured in the opening contest of the season, and so was out of s :veral games when his presence was needed. Radcliffe, who played quarter about half of the time, made greater strides than any of the new men. He played like one who understood the place and will make the team a valuable man next year. The season closed with the Thanksgiving day game with Wash- burn at Topeka, Kansas. This game just about made up for all our other defeats, as we held them 0 - 0 in the first, and in the second they scbred on fumbles. After the Washburn game Key Wolf was elected captain. Key has played on the team for three years and has been the main- stay of the line. In '05 and '06 he played right guard, and last season filled Big Jim's place at right tackle, playing a great game. The season was a great success financially, the athletic asso- ciation being able to pay off a number of old debts. The l908 schedule is about finished, and it is the hardest that an Oklahoma team has ever had before them. The schedule in- cludes games with Kansas, Texas, Arkansas, Fairmount at Wichita, and probably Missouri. The thanksgiving game will be with Washburn. Vol. IV. , THE MISTLETOE I'x0O'1'liA1,I. '1'1cAM.

Teams which have represented the schools in past years have won their share of the games and given to school the record of putting out the fastest teams in the Southwest. The season of i907 was the most successful that an Okla- homa University team has ever experienced. The undisputed championship of Oklahoma was won by the University by a large margin, winning four out of five with Epworth and defeating both the Chillocco Indians and the Stillwater Farmers, Of 'games played with schools of neighboring States, the O boys made almost as good a record as they did at home, defeating the Southwest.Kan- sas College and Drury College by decisive scores, but losing to Kansas University. The games with Oklahoma City Western As- sociation Team were ones in which the University boys showed up well by holding the professionals to low scores. While the Uni- versity lost these games, it is proud that her team could make such a good showing against the Mets, who hold such a good record in Western professional baseball. The percentage of the team for i907 was .800. THE SEASON OF 1908. Everyone said that the University would certainly put out a more winning team this season, for Captain Walker, Radcliffe, Housh, Moore, Pierce and Horner of last year's team were back and new material was plentiful--as well as good,--there being lVlc- Combs of St. Charles, Wantland of' Castle Heights, Dodson and Frantz of Enid High School, Hollis, Wails, Wells, Seaver and others. Practice opened in earnest and the boys showed up well. But it was too good to be true. Things came to a standstill when the Faculty Committee on eligibility made the statement that only USCHOLARSN could play on athletic teams. The effect was soon realized and it was evident that the twelve-hour rule had fallen with all its weight. Strange to say, but it is true, baseball was the only sport affected, and it was affected so badly that it never recovered from the shock--so Baseball DIED. Although the University will have no team this year, Boyd Field is crowded every evening with lovers of the national game. A good schedule of inter-class games has been arranged by the Athletic Council and some interesting contests are promised, but these cannot take the place of regular college baseball, or stir up so much enthusiasm, but it is hoped that they will help the boys to remember the game until next year, when every baseball player will study hard, pass in at least twelve hours' work, and help to make up a team of which Oklahoma will be proud.

FIELD AND TRACK. ,-,.1--- How can we get the cup? That was the question. It has been rightfully ours for some time. Yea- but-. Here we were. Darling had run his limit. Carrol was not back. Vve had no Tribby. Acton and Douglas were too lazy to train. Maynard and Keiger could not reduce their fat. Caudill was outg while Alden could not stop talking long enough to get his breath. What were we to do? No Hall to train us. Stillwater's record was ten flat and it seemed that we could not help it. She had the dashes, hurdles, and 4,40 in spite of the good Saint himself. Kingfisher had the mile, 880 and vault, Weatherford, the weights, Alva and Edmond had what was lefty and we had the-yes-the sack. The outlook was gloomy. hiach evening after practice Darling would call us around a little family circle and with a stick mark out on the ground. the seconds and thirds that it was possible for us to get. We could only see how it would be possible to get through without disgrace to our school. At this, each man would set his teeth and vow that Oklahoma University will get that cup. Field day came just as it had on several occasions before in the history of Oklahoma meets. Everyone to the meet, to support the team, a team with nothing to lose and all to gain. We faced our Waterloo. Yes,-f- but--. The IOO-yard dash was called. Much hung on this race. A. 8: M. had it by record, C. S. N. S. had it by desire, when over the line they flew and Oklahoma Uni- versity had it by rule of supreme justice. ' Did I win it? asked Noble. ' Yes, 9:4. I have prayed for this for six weeks, he said. And one might have added, and trained for it for four years. Shouts of thanksgiving went up all over the grounds. But it did not stop there. Short and Reeds brought in four points from the shot-put: Noble, one more on the 220, Baker and Lisman, eight on the high hurdles, Reeds, five from the hammer: Thompson, five on the 440, Radcliffe broad-jumped for three: I..ong's sideburns copped three more on the 8805 Short and Fees were most ashamed to take four on the discus. It was a shame then to see Lisman, Long, Lemmon and 'Thompson, lead out for five on the relay. Reeds pocketed five on the high jump, while Brannan lugged in one on the mile. Radcliffe was compelled to take three on the low hurdles, while he and Reeds reached eight on the vault. I-low many points did this make? Count them for yourself. Our sack was full. Oklahoma University people would look into each others' eyes as if to say, I told you so, when the day before they said, There is no hope. 'their voices had gone up in yells, their hearts had gone out to their team. Vol. IV. THE MISTLEIVOE , ., 'Y V TRACK TEAM. THE MISITLETOE. Vol. IV MEMBERS OF TRACK TEAM, 1907. JOHN C. DARLING, Coach.

Radcliffe, Weller Leibler 96 -M THE MISTLETOE. Vol. IV - TENNIS. In the early days of the University, tennis was not played with any intention of winning tonors for the University, but merely for the sport that the game afforded the participants. There is even a tradition to the effect that a girl represented the University in one of the territorial tournaments. As time went on, more interest was shown, but fortune was always unfavorable. All the old players whom we recall, such as A-lden, Conway, Phillips, Kendall, Jenkins and Perry, were successively defeated. They would, without exception, work up to the finals, but victory always eluded their grasp. In the year l906, several players showed some ability, but were clearly out- classed by Conway and Perry, who represented the University and came very nearly winning the championship. In l907, a regular squad was organized by Manager L. I... Hutchison. Contestants were more plentiful, but, by a series of tournaments. simmered down to about four, Radcliffe, Liebler and Cage representing Oklahoma. This year, though hampered by the withdrawal from school of such excellent players as Mr. Robertson and Mr. Armstrong, and by the fact that the courts were not repaired in time for fall practice, the squad of thirty-five men, headed by Captain Liebler, are utilizing every available minute of the fine spring weather and prospects for tennis were never better. In preparation for the annual State Inter-collegiate Tournament and possibly for a dual tournament with Kansas University, the tennis committee will arrange for an intex class, a semi-final, and a final tournament for the purpose of picking the team. Whatever tournament we may enter, we all feel that this is Oklahoma's year to win. L Vol. IV. A--P THE MISTLETOE. 97 I JBaaketb3Q eam. PERSONNEL OF BASKETBALL TEAM. Reeds, A.,' Caplain. . ......

As compared with other athletics, basket ball has only a brief history in the University of Oklahoma. Never until last year was it an organized sport. l' Before then, it was hardly known here at all, or at least it was almost forgotten. In the minds of the Sons of l:.sau and the Anti-Sampsonians there still exists perhaps a faint recollection of basketball being played in the gym classes when they were preps. In the,school year '02-'03, there were regular -teams in the gym classes, but never until last year was basketball organ- ized as a 'Varsity sport. - Only one inter-collegiate game was played last year-that with E.pworth.' The result was decidedly in favor of Oklahoma. Other games were planned for, but the local opposition to the intro- duction of basketballlintdour athletics was so strong that the manager could not get a schedule. Last year's experience, however, aroused sympathy for the garhe and served as a helper in its future develop- ment. Francis M. Buchanan, '07, was manager, and C. E. Davis, captain. This year basketball was put on equal rank with any other athletic sport, at least in so far as the Athletic Association is con- cerned. The schedule and? time of play, however, were limited somewhat by the University authorities. Nevertheless a goodly bunch of players has practiced hard from the beginning of the season to its close. They have manifested the interest required to develop a new athletic game, in which skill depends mainly on long and care- fulltraining. The team is made up of material that has been devel- oped almost entirely from practice in our gym since the beginning of last season. Several new men have been showing up well near the close of the season, and these with the men who now make up the team, all of whom expect to be back next year, make it almost certain that we shall have andexcellent team next season. From the standpoint of scores, this season has been very success- ful,. even if it is practically our first. We have been beaten by one team only, U. P. S., and this team comes from a school where basket- ball is not a new sport and is taken part in by almost everybody, even by the faculty. It holds the unchallenged championship of the State, with the possible exception of the Chillocco Indians. We beat them in the last game. We won easily over Epworth and Stillwater. RECORDS.

There are so many things in the University to think about and to work for, that we have what is called in economics division of labor. Some keep up the records on gridiron, diamond, or track: others uphold our honors in debating work, and everyone does his part to make his class the strongest in school. There is one organi- zation, however, that is open to every student enrolled, whether athlete or debater, collegian or prep, senior or freshmen. This organization is the Christian Association-the Y. M. C. A. for men, and the Y. W. C. A. for women. Here men meet their fellow-men and women meet their fellow-women, and they come together so informally that class and sect and clique are all forgotten, and every- one helps everyone else to have life and have it more abundantly. All of us cannot come together in the various organizations of the school, but each one can attend the Sunday afternoon Asso- ciation meetings, join a Bible study class, and keep up mission work. The Sunday afternoon meetings are always interesting and bene- ficial. The formality of other religious meetings is done away with. They are led by one of the students, by a member of the Faculty, a minister of the town, or some person secured from out of the city. The Bible study and mission study work is systematically arranged so that only a short time daily is required for the work. The classes, which are conducted entirely by students, meet once a week for round-table discussion of the preceding week's work. About one hundred ninety men and women were enrolled in this work this year. - The conference for men is held at Ruston, La., during the Christmas holidays, that for women is held at Cascade, Colorado. Besides these, there are State conventions. In these the Christian stu- dents from all over this part of the country meet to learn better the scope and methods of the Association work. They do much to increase the interest and activity in the local work. It is a rare treat to have the privilege of attending one of these conferences. The semester receptions, given by the Christian Associations to the old and new students, were both novel features this year. The lirst was an interesting sort of family reuniong the second was a Valentine party. Besides these regular receptions, several special ones occurred during the year under the auspices of the associations. Last year funds were raised to furnish an association room. As soon as the rooms could be made ready, furnishings and equipment were purchased and installed. But they were not to be used long. In about two weeks, the building in which the rooms were located was destroyed by fire. The furniture was saved, however, and, when the new building is constructed, provision will undoubtedly be made for ample room for this purpose. Y. M. C. A. CABINET. Frank Long, Frank Balyeat, M. M.

I stood at night before the crumbling wall, I saw ambition stoop and heard her call, The soft moon beat upon the broken pile. Marked pale cheek Hush and eye burn bright the while, Sweet fancy framed the past-the frown, the smile, Saw forms, long gone, troop down the aisle: The lilting laughter sounding down the hall. Saw hope swift rise, or swifter sadder fall, Perchance some restless soul these walls have known Whose foot shall press the highest peak of fame: But now the filt'ring moonbeams silvery hoar, The gentle croon of night winds softly blown, The black bat's screech, is all that they may claim, But mem'ry counts them sacred evermore. W. R , 'l l. VQ1. IV.g THE MISTLETOE. 143 THE METAMORPHOSIS OF MARY ELLEN. Well, you see Mary Ellen had been wanting to go to school ever since she could remember. Of course, that wasn't very long. but when she was seven and wouldn't play dolls or play house with me any more and was sure that she'd write a book soon-well, you can see for yourself what was the only thing to do. It 's the first day Mary Ellen spent at school that I am going to tell you about, because I 'm her best friend, and I know, and she won't tell it herself. She says it convokes painful memories. I don't see why, though, for she 's changed an awful lot and doesn't care about such things nowadays. Mrs. ' mother, and, of course, you know her name is Jones, only she doesn't think Mr. Jones' name is pretty, so she always says way up high, I 'am Mrs. Van Rensslaer-Jones, of the old New York Van Rensslaers, you know, and looks as if she thought you were so glad you had met her. fhlonestly, Mary Ellen is awful nice, in spite of her motherj Well, Mrs. Van went to see Miss Bird the day before school began. She told Mamma what she said, not to burden Mary Ellen's little mind and to let her follow her own judgment, because she didn't want her spoiled by having her opinions crossed. My good- ness! I guess Mrs. Van's never been spoiled if that is what she thinks. Mrs. Van had to go to the Monday Morning Mothers' Club, so I took Mary Ellen the first morning. She had on a awful starchy dress and her hair was braided so tight she 'most couldn't shut her eyes. Mrs. Van read Mamma in a book once where it said you acted like the clothes you had on or something like that, and I think it is so, because when Mary Ellen is first dressed up she always says Van,--that 's Mary Ellens she doesn't want to play, and she always finds lots more for you to repent about. Once when Mrs. Van made her wear a dirty apron to punish her, we went down to the creek and had a lovely time in the mud all the afternoon. I 'd been to school the year before, and knew just how to act, but Mary Allen said she didn't care for any advice, so she went right into the school-house to 'range things, and I stayed out doors to see Greta's new doll. Greta's my other best friend, but she is awf'ly different from Mary Ellen. Sometimes Greta and I get mad and don't play all recess, but she always writes me a note afterwards and we go home together after school. Once she sent me the sweetest one: If you love me as I love you no nife can cut our love into. When Mary Ellen used to get mad at me-like when I forgot to learn the catechism one Sunday--she would for- give me for it and then be solemn for about a week after till she thought I'd had time to repent. When the bell rang and we went in, Mary Ellen was still telling Miss Bird where she expected to sit, and what she was going to study, and Miss Bird was sort of smiling. And then because Mary Ellen knew her letters and things already, she sat in the B class in the row next the boys' side, right across from Tubby Jinks. Tubby doesn't like girls, he says, but he always gives me half his apple at recess and I dig the worms when we go fishing. I-le lives just across the alley from us, you know, and whenever he gets a whipping, he always comes over and We sing I-lang Jeff Davis to a Sour Apple Tree, 'cause that makes Mr. Jinks mad. 144 gg j jj 4 Vol. IV. Well, the first thing happened in numbers class. Miss Bird said, Mary Ellen, if ,you had three marbles and Tubby gave you three more, how many marbles would you have then? And Mary Ellen said, I wouldn't have any because I don't play marbles. And she said there was no sense in her counting them and she wouldn't do it. Nobody had ever thought of talking back to Miss Bird before, but she only said in that soft voice that makes everybody sit up so straight, You know we never speak that way here, Mary Ellen, and we always do what we are asked to. And Mary Ellen was so surprised and mad she couldn't speak. While we were having our reading lesson, Mary Ellen got out her slate to begin her book, for she had always said that that would count lots more than any old lesson. And just then Tubby fastened a little, curly shaving to her hair and it tickled her neck and she jumped and stood right up. You awful boy! she said, I hate you, hate you. Then she was quiet a minute before she said, I forgive you, though. Everybody was scared but Miss Bird, and I believe she thought it was funny though she had to cough, and she just said to Mary Ellen, And now we 'll keep real quiet, won't we, and get the best lesson. At recess when Tubby came to give me half his apple, he peeked 'round at Mary Ellen and said, Hate you, hate you, and she slapped him. I think that was lots better than saying she 'd forgive him, for she meant the slap and it made her feel better and the other didn't. After recess Tubby showed her a picture of a little girl with curly hair on just one side of her head, and Mary Ellen made a face at him and drew a little fat boy with freckles. I don't know what happened next, for Miss Bird called our spelling class and I didn't have my lesson and got turned down, but when we got through, I looked at Mary Ellen and Tubby, and was so surprised. She had one marble in her ink-well for an island, and was just putting 'l'ubby's blue glass alley in her pocket, and Tubby's face was all red and he was studying his reader upside down. When we went home at noon, Mary Ellen tried to act just as dignified as usual. But she had ink on her dress and one hair-ribbon was lost and she didn't seem to care. When her mother said, My dear child, how do you enjoy your school? she burst out, O Mamma, Miss Bird is just awf'ly sweet and I can draw a pig with my eyes shut. And Tubby gave me his blue glass alley and after school we are going to catch minnies down in his creek. And oh, give me something to eat, quick. I 've got a terrible feeling inside. Then Mary Ellen's mother looked awful, and couldn't say a word, but her cousin that stays at their house said, Good for you, kid! I thought you 'd outgrow your old age some day. And Mary Ellen hasn't said a word about l'.er book since. N. W. R., '09, Vol. IV. THE wg M MMM AA. gg-MWWMM-lf? Tl-IE DAY AT THE. YALE-PRINCETON GAME. It is a great sight for a sooner to see one of the important football games of the East-for instance, the Yale-Princeton. Even that Saturday morning there is something unusual in the air. The honk of more numerous automobiles, the swish of silk skirts on the walks and about the dormitory rooms sends an unusual thrill up the spinal cord of the Yale man. The morning lectures are dry and uninteresting, not because they are not faithfully given, but since the mind of the student is concerned about the game. The morning lectures finally wear away. It is then time to go with your friends to the specially arranged lable d' hole luncheon at the Yale Dining Hall. In order that the many alumni and their families, the students with their friends, may be accommodated, this part of the day's program is started at eleven o'clock. It is immense! l:.leven hundred people are fed at one time from the larders provided for the students. Thousands of eggs from Kansasg bushels of Jonathan apples from Washingtong chickens and turkeys from the vicinity of St. Louis: grapes from Smyrna and Californiag bananas from Yucatan: potatoes from Coloradog figs and dates from Egypt: the bread and pastries, the soups and clean linen-all from the plant beneath your feet. As you peer along the walls, paintings of Yale celebrities lead you back for more than two hundred years in the history of our country. After you have looked at all of them and finished the meal, the pleasing architectural features of the high overhanging roof remind you that you have been eating in one of the bicentennial buildings. 'Tis one o'clock. A quiet surging mass of intelligent humanity is moving westward along Chapel Street past Osborn Hall. For a whole mile there is a continuous line of street-cars, each taxed to its full capacity. The side-walks on both sides of the street are black with people moving in only one direction. Those that walk keep abreast of those that ride. From the Hag-poles of many patriotic lomes Yale blue flaps in the sea breeze. One, perchance, bears, Headquarters of the Class of '77. The yards and crosswise streets are filled with people who are not going to the game. They haze cotne merely to watch the crowd that goes by in the course of an four. No automobiles interrupt this throng. The mayor of New Haven has directed that the thousand and more be driven out lllm Street and garaged on the quadrangles north of Yale Field. Once inside the stand, the sight becomes very impressive. There is the football players' paradise, a grass-covered, rectangular field, surrounded on all sides by a high but sloping wall of seats, which is now being rapidly filled with spectators. As you sit on one of the thirty-four thousand two-dollar seats, clad in a heavy overcoat with a steamer rug or blanket tucked about your feet, you'are surprised at the orderliness of the vast throng in taking their allotted places. This has been the work of the Yale undergraduate. For the past two weeks, in the office of the Yale Football Association, a band of them has been working night and day. In allotting such a vast number of individuals it is necessary that some method or precedent should be followed-otherwise there would be confusion and dis- pleasure. As it is, the cheering squad of the visiting team occupies the five sections in the central part of the west stand, facing an equal M A W B M-1--A THE MISTLETOIQ. Vol. IV. Yale contingent. These are the best seats and are filled almost wholly with undergraduates. The graduate students and alumni of the two universities are assigned to the remaining seats. All moneys are handled at the office. Tickets are obtained only on students or alumni applications and then no more than three seats are granted to any one person. The game is like most big games of football which we sooners have played except that the players have a far better developed skill in planning and executing the numerous plays which the quarterback, on the spur of the moment, may call by signal. Since each opposing team has received the best possible training that can be given to college men we see the ideal of football more nearly approached. The more evenly matched the teams, the harder the game. It is a test of strategy rather than one of physical endurance: and, since the game of football offers more avenues for the exhibition of ingenu- ity than any other outdoor game and still has many unthought-of ones under the new rules, this is the reason why thirty-four thousand spectators, and more, if possible, attend the game annually. The immense gathering gives vigor to the players not only by its presence, but also by its organized cheering. At irregular inter- vals, during the progress of the game the following thoughts, cheers, or songs come to you. When Princeton had a score of 5 to 0, it was good to cheer and they had the incentive to cheer. The Prince- ton cohorts started up Old Nassau and sang it as only Prince- ton men can sing the fine old battle-hymn. The Princeton stands were a mass of yellow and black and the staccato Siss-Boom-Ah! ripped out, while Yale sat astounded till the cheer leaders started up Boola with every Yale man on his feet. When Princeton left the field at the end of the first half with a score of I0 to 0, Yale field was buried in a tidal wave of orange. During the second half, however, when Yale was about to make her goal line, all Yale yelled for that touchdown. As it was made by the cleanest kind of rushing, the Yale stands were blue again-but the color was in Hags. Small wonder that more than twenty thousand voices raised their thanks in a long continued out- burst of vociferous acclaim. Back went the team to their work eager to help Princeton over another Yale goal line. They are going back to Jersey now, remarked a Yale wag, confident of his team. Pandemonium broke loose all around the field save in the Princeton stand at the west, when Yale had another touchdown, putting them in the lead. Things looked so blue now that Prince- ton was clumbfounded. They had been misled by the promise of the first half. The tables had now been turned. The apparent victors were the apparently defeated. Yale was wearing an air of confidence, Princeton ranging about like Tigers for a recurrence of the chance that has become almost traditional-that in the latter moments of the Yale game some opportunity to score enough to win out will be found by Princeton. It did not come this time. The whistle sounded with Yale IZ, Princeton l0. The Yale contingent swarmed down upon the field to give the closing touches to the day-the snake dance and the cheering of Princeton. 4 Chester A. Reeds, '05, Vo1.IV. g g She tossed and moaned: O, God, I pray, Grant me thy healing dreams once more! From plains that endless stretch away, From winds that rest not night or day, Grant me release, my God, I pray, Before my brain fail utterly. Ah, me! If once again my eyes might see A deep oak-wood where sun-beams fall Like fairly gold on moss and mould, Where sweet and clear the wood-birds call, And where-O sweeter far than all!- Wild roses, pink with hearts of gold From every tangled thicket lean. And there if once more I might hear The sound of water running clear And soft and see it glide between The bending elders white with bloom. O sweet- a sob of longing caught I-ler tired voice, she vainly sought To stay her trembling lips. The pain Of all the gray, wind-beaten years- THE MISTLETOE. ON THE PLAINS. Years that had known no rain but tears I-lad burned into her very brain. My God! she prayed, Canst thou no I-last thou indeed forgotten me, Lost mid the plain's immensity? If I may never see again The glory of the woods in spring, Or hear once more the thrushes sing, Then only grant me rest so deep That I no more may hear the sweep t see, Of winds across these endless plains. Weary she slept and seemed to dream, For once she laughed as silver clear As laughs a child: then all the fear And pain gave place to endless peace, I-ler tired lips smiled in glad release. No more the ceaseless winds that sweep Across the plains shall wake her sleep. R. M. B., '08 148 THE MISTLETOE. Vol. IV. AN UNEXPECTED INITIATION CEREMONY. Lights twinkled merrily in the South Dormitory of Sydney College, for it was Friday night and there were no study hours. The big parlor on the first Hoor was still empty, but it looked very hospitable and the numerous chafing-dishes on low tables suggested coming festivities. Girls in light evening frocks, or thick outdoor dresses were running excitably about getting ready for the one free evening in the week when from seven to eleven they entertained their friends. It was a crisp cold January evening and the sleighing was excellent. One crowd of ten boys and girls was going out into the country three miles'to a little village where a supper of hot oysters would be waiting them. Good skating on the river had caused many to plan an evening there. One party was mourning because their chaperon was ill and, since no one could be obtained on so short a notice, they must stay at home. The air was quivering with plans, but Edith and Jane and Elsa sat in their rooms, taking no part in any of them. It was quite like them to set to-night for the time to initiate us, said Jane, thrusting a stick into a plump marchmallow and holding it over the coals. They knew all about it, too! I told Katherine that Dick was going to help me improve my skating to-night! I wanted to learn to waltz!-I think it 's just horrid! Yes, and they knew I wanted to go on that sleigh ride, added Edith, and I believe- But, girls, interrupted Elsa, don't let them know that we care. We haven't done many of the 'stunts' they have set for us, just as they wanted us to-we have been 'unruly pledges,' you know, and we 'll have to take our medicine. I am sorry you are both so put out. You see I can be cheerful because I didn't have anything so particular planned. You are always a dear, Elsa, said Jane, pinching her cheek. What do you suppose they 'll do to us? I don't know and I don't care much-I 'm cross and I can't get over it. Edith was almost ready to ery. But, Edith, you were crazy to be a Gamma Gamma, you know. It takes boys to plan things for initiations, doesn't it? Do you suppose Katherine's brother has been giving her some advice? He told me last Friday night of an affair he was in at the Sillwood Medical School. l-le said a fellow came there who was disagreeably conceited and they felt it their duty to reform him, so they planned-- -lane stopped suddenly, for three low, clear whistles sounded at the keyhole, the knob rattled a little and there were three loud knocks at the door. Goodness me! a triple performance, cried Elsa. You go to the door, Edith: you look the grimmest. Don't twit me about it or I will be desperate! she replied. She opened the door and saw only darkness, the messenger having evidently turned out the hall light, but a large note elaborately decorated with a skull and crossbones hung to the knob. In threaten- ing language it told them to walk down Saxony Street to the big Vol. IV. THE MISTLETOE. 149 black elm. Oh, this is getting interesting! Let us hurry, said Edith, catching the spirit of the mystery, and in a few minutes they were on their way. They chatted of inconsequent things until they came in sight of Black Elm. In it hung a big red lantern. Well, cried Elsa, they have only left their lantern. She took it down and found a second note tied to the handle. As she opened it, three low whistles sounded out of the darkness behind them. She nearly dropped the lantern and they all cried out in surprise and half fear. Why, girls--what does it all mean? cried Jane. Give that to me, Elsa, please. What does it say? Katherine certainly made a gruesome-looking skull that time, didn't she? Listen to this, and she read the note: Ye Damsels hie quickly to Percy's corner, then go ye north until ye do see the Big Red Blaze. They all examined it eagerly. Let us hie away, laughed Elsa, and they went on. To shorten the distance to Percy's corner, they went down Smith Lane, a narrow, infrequented side street. A listener behind them would have heard such exclamations as this: Isn't it jolly, though! - I knew Kathy would think up something brand new! and so on and on in the same strain. When they were near the end of the narrow street, the one big arc-light which lit it suddenly Hickered and went out. Well, I 'm glad we haven't much farther to go in here, said Jane. Yes, and I hope they won't blow any three whistles here! Who do you suppose is doing it for them? added Elsa. What do you think Kathy meant yesterday when- - Elsa! Janey! What is that? Edith had stopped and was pointing ahead. They all shrank X.ack terrified. In front of them a white misshapen object about the size of a tall man danced upon the walk! Sometimes it weaved backward and forward, then it leaped suddenly and the snow crunched as though some one walked upon it. Merciful goodness! 'What can it be? If this is a part of the trick, I 'll never forgive them! whispered Edith. They stood quiet a moment clinging to each other's hands. then following Elsa. they ran to the middle of the street and never stopped until they reached the corner, where it was light and people and street-cars made them feel that they were safe. Do you know I don't believe the Gamma Gamma girls had a thing to do with that apparition, said Jane, as they stood a moment to get breath. Did you notice, we never heard those three whistles and I believe they are a part of our ordeal. Look! exclaimed Edith, there is tlie big blaze! Yes, yes, I see, but listen, Jane went on excitedly. We 've just got to know what that ghost was- I 've got a scheme! Let us hurry! As they neared it, the big red blaze proved to be a headlight of a large automobile. Behind which was another and they were both full of gay girls. Cries of There they are! Hurry up, we 're freezing! greeted them as they came up. Oh, said Jane, we have had such an awful experience! It is the worth thing you ever heard of! Hear them! T hey sound like children showing their Christ- mas presents to their parents! Don't you think we know about it? said a handsome girl on the front seat. Shut up, Katherine, you don't know about this, persisted Jane, and l 'll not go another step. until you come with us and see the ghost! There was a chorus of protests. Ghosts, indeed! We didn't 150 THE MISTLETOE. Vol. IV. mean to make you crazy! What are you talking about? Do you think you can make us believe that? Please listen, we have had a queer experience and we want you to have it, too, begged Edith. After much talk Jane was given permission to guide them. They rode to Percy's corner at the head of Smith's Lane, then they all got out and she bade them follow her, first insisting that one of the drivers go too. As they entered the silence of the deserted street, their chatter was less spontaneous though they scorned the idea of meeting a ghost, and asked their leaders all kinds of teasing questions about supernatural beings. Suddenly the white figure reeling, swaying. dancing, took shape before them and they shrank back, silenced. The old driver stared, hesitated a moment, and then went on. As the girls stood huddled together shivering and trembling, his loud laugh broke the tension. Sure and it 's no ghost you 've seen! The widow O'Brien's clothes-lines broke and swinging into the street, and this 'ere dress is froze stiffer 'en a stick-that 's the rattlin' noise-and the wind makes it act so! It 's a harmless ghost, but it sure did' look curious, didn't it? and he chuckled, while the girls laughed heartily. But we 're part even with you, said Jane triumphantly. We scared you a little to pay for spoiling the plans you knew we had made. Don't be too sure,'f said Katherine, as they climbed in and rolledvaway. We 're not done with you yet! M. D. C.

Dr. McLisle, her father, was notg for he wouldn't listen to reason- ordered the young man off the premises before he reached his brief proper. Such was the situation when these two slar crossed lovers organ- ized themselves into a ways and means committee, to consider how they might continue their pleasant relations. There was a small private park in connection with the doctor's home, and here they got in the habit of meeting. And now I must introduce another character, the bulldog, None- such. The park was usually his by right of eminent domain. But Miss McLisle was always careful to tie him when Dick Palmer was coming. For he was more vicious than the doctor, and his early environments had not taught him nice distinctions between college men and tramps. Now, if it had not been for a blunder, things might have gone on pleasantly for Dick and Laurie forever-or till commencement, which in college lovers' dialect means the same. But one day Dick waxed confidential. Now, it is a mistake to wax at allg and to wax confidential-he should have known better. He told her of a girl he had known long ago Clong before he had known her, yes, indeed ! J. He went farther, showed her a picture he used to wear in his watch. And in this faded photograph Laurie recognized her father's charm- ing stenographer, Miss Hall. Dick did not notice the change which came over the girl at his side. I used to think I loved her, he went on lightly, till I met you, but now -and so on, with gestures to emphasize. He soon left, with the understanding that they should meet again the next evening at the same time and place. The next evening the old doctor was more crabbid than usual. By chance he had learned that Laurie had refused to go to a concert, that evening, with Harve Gray. Now this Gray was the son of one of the doctor's particular cronies, who, with the doctor, hoped that their two families might soon be united by bonds closer than crony- ship. Gray was hyper-agreeable. Laurie was not. So there was a hung jury, and no chance for an agreement. No wonder the doctor was cross. He decided that Laurie should go that evening with him to the concert. Laurie tried hard to beg off, but in vain. She alleged a head- ache, but her father observed that her appetite, her pulse and tem- perature were normalg besides, the walk would do her good. Go she must. She tried to call up Dick on the 'phone, but could not find him. There was no other way to reach him. And, if he came and she did not meet him, he would be so disappointed. And that awful bulldog!

But, papa, a tramp might get into the park, or something- and-- Well, that is a good reason for tying the dog! Let him loose, I say! Come, and let 's be going to the concert! And he turned back to the house. Miss Hall was on the porch when they started to leave. Wait a minute, Laurie, said the doctor, I must get some letters I meant to post. Miss McLisle had been trying hard to think of some way out of her awful situation. Just now a brilliant idea occurred to her. Why not tell Miss Hall, and get her to tie the dog and then meet r. Dick and explain things to him? How simple! She could tell her all about it in a minute-but wait! That faded little photograph! Dick's tenderness over it! Should she send Miss Hall out there to meet Dick once more, and perhaps to win him back? What a pretty girl Miss Hall was, in that soft white muslin gown! Did she dare send her? On the other hand, could she leave Dick to the stern abitriment of Nonesuch? In her fancy now she could see him trying to escape, could hear his cry of terror as he clung to the picket fence with the same tenacity with which Nonesuch was clinging to the seat of his trousers! Now, which did she choose, the stenographer or the bulldog? I will leave it with you. ' F. E.M. V JG bfi? NIT X .N I -fd X xx Q I fe f .Ili . X- X Vol. IV. THE MISTLETOE. 6 EMILY BRONTE.

It was a beautiful balmy day in May, l908. The town of Norman was alive with gala crowds. Students, everywhere, clad in clothes the appearance whereof would make Joseph of Sunday sup- plement fame, for lo! these many years, feel that his poor coat was of most funeral hue. That coat, which was the pride of an old father's heart and which for ages has caused more than a ripple in haberdashing circles, would appear as deepest mourning when com- pared to the rainbow-bedecked crowds that filled Norman on that eventful day in May. Long students, short students, fat and lean, students with' faces as smooth and soft as a freshman's brain, and students whose facial landscape was submerged beneath a sea of waving and unmowed alfalfa, jostled one another and exhaled crude jokes which were quickly taken in hand by the health authorities. lntermingled with these scurrying ants of Oklahoma's educational hill was a great number from the surrounding towns. What was the meaning of this vast concourse? An able and well qualified globe-trotter would say that in Spain it meant a bull fight, in Italy the celebration of a saint's day, in France a revolution, in England the Henley Regatta, while in America it might signify anything from a Thaw trial to a presidential campaign. The whistle of the last excursion train had scarcely died away before the hurrying crowds began to pour on to Boyd Field. By 3 o'clock the bleachers were a mass of seething colors and still more seething vocal chords. A volcano of sound tore the ethereal blue of the afternoon heavens to shreds as Capt. Walker, with the big stick over his shoulder, led his doughty warriors of the web-fingered mitts, on to the field, his manly young chest thrown out and on his frank, open countenance a look of grim determination. l-lis wavy brown hair was riotously tossed by the playful breeze as he reflect- ively bit out a half-moon from his trusty plug of Star. l-le adjusted the bird-cage and the upholstered mitt and the game was on. It is the ninth inning, the bleachers a-quiver with excitement, the score 2 to l in favor of the invaders, two men out and Ratliff, the battle-scarred veteran of many a hard-fought fray, up. The sharp crack of the bat, a clean single, and the heavens are again tortured by an enthusiastic Niagara of sound. Babe Housch finishes his piece of pie, spits on his hands, grabs his weighty hickory and faces the enemy. One strike, two strikes, then the infant pushes his puny, infantile frame, against a hot one, and sits down on first to rest, while Ratliff scurries like a scarred rabbit to third. The hand- some and accomplished Capt. Walker takes a fresh chew and pre- pares to feast his batting average off the enemy by Dick Merriwelling it out of the lot. He steps up to the plate with that look of calm de- termination, while the girls clap their hands and say, Ain't he just too sweet for anything? and How cute he looks in that white suit! Three quivering flashes in the sunlight, and it is all over, but the palpitating of the gashed ozone. The crowds went slowly homeward to tell how it would have Vol. IV. THE MISTLETOE. 155 been done if Housch's shoe-string hadn't broken in the sixth inning and w---- . Wake up, Cap, the fellows are yelling, and come on. We are going to have a grand celebration, Acton after months of rigorous training has won first place in the Inter- collegiate Domino Regatta, and the first prize, a white Teddy Bear, with a bow of baby ribbon around its neck, and is now among our athletic trophies wrested from many a bloody field. And that night a great celebration and night shirt parade was held. A keg of cold tea was opened on the campus amid the rioutous cheers of the stimulated enthusiasts Deac Parker recited The old Water Wagon of Mine, during which there was not a tear shed by the audience, but they sifted away into the protecting mantle of the small hours of the night. sg! , - ' Y X K - Y - ' e is ,ie A If 5 .

The average daily program of the Englishman, as well as his system of education, probably comes nearer than our own to placing the proper amount of stress upon the last phrase of the ideal, Mens sano in corpore sano. The ordinary Englishman is very apt to be a regular devotee of some sport or other, and would no sooner think of missing his daily exercise than he would of doing without his morning cold bath or his after-dinner smoke. How much of this love of exercise is due to the exigencies of climate is hard to say, but, at any rate, it is there and makes the average Britisher a healthy, husky, specimen to look upon. We Americans are apt to forget that we have borrowed prac- tically all of our sports from England. Some of them, it is true, we have worked over-football, for example-until we are propably entitled to the patent right on the new product, but to England belongs the credit of origin. Even our national sport, baseball, originated in the English rounders, a primitive sort of game, much resembling town ball. In England, as with us, sports, the English equivalent for athletics, are divided into classes, professional and amateur: and the English newspaper, like ours, is not complete without its account of the day's contests between the most important professional football or cricket teams of the country. English football is of two kinds, Rugby and Association-in the parlance of the vernacular, Rug- ger and Socker. They are both fall and winter goods: the former is more popular in the universities, and the latter, outside. Hence, the principal game among professionals for this season is association, while that of summer is, of course, cricket. Professionalism is as highly developed in England as in America. Each county and every town of any size has its professional teams, and the general public takes a great interest in the struggle between them. In the university, athletics plays even a more important part than it does here. College teams are not trained any more carefully, nor are they supported any more enthusiastically by the student body: but, in the first place, there is a much greater variety of sports, and, in the second, the schedules are much fuller. Oxford is com- posed of twenty-two colleges, each quite separate and distinct from the rest, and each has as many separate teams as there are sports. The colleges play each other, and so there is plenty of opportunity for a full schedule. In addition, each college is likely to have, in the course of the year, two or three contests, in as many different sports, with some college at Cambridge. These contests are invariably followed by a social function, usually in the form of a dinner, which generally winds up with a greater or less-more often a greater- clegree of hilarity, in proportion as there is a greater or less con- sumption of wine. The principal fall sports at the university are rowing, football- both Rugger and Socker -and hocky. Of these, by far the most popular is rowing, and, as a rule, every college requires that the other sports give precedence to it. For instance, if a man is being Vol. IV. THE MISTLETOE. tried both on the river and on the football ground, the river will have first claim to him. Rowing, however, is not strictly a fall sport. It runs throughout the year, and the principal races are not rowed until spring. But the men are got out the first week of the fall term, and those who finally succeed in making the college crew lose scarcely a day from that time until the races are over in May. As to football, the association game is practically the same as it is here, but between the English and Americans versions of Rugby there is a considerable difference. The American game is much the more strenuous. Football of the John Bull type is apt to remind the Yankee enthusiast of the stage caricature of Boston foot- ball, in which one player is full dress, carrying a football, steps up to an opponent in full dress, taps him on the shoulder and says, Let me pass, please. Still, English football is a good game and is far from slow. The fair-minded American critic, although he may prefer the cis-Atlantic type, will find in the British game about as many points to praise as to blame, which statement is borne out by the fact that two years ago, when the American rules were revised, the proposition was quite seriously entertained of doing away with the old football and of importing the English game as a substitute. The principal distinction between the two varieties is that English football emphasizes speed rather than strength. The average English team will probably weigh ten pounds less to the man than the average A American team. This difference is brought about mainly by the fact that theirs is a much more open game than ours. The ball is passed much more. When it is once fairly into play it will probably be passed three or four times before coming to a halt. The mass plays, which formerly distinguished our game and do yet to a con- siderable extent, are unknown to the English. Hence they put a premium not so much upon brawn as upon quickness, speed, and accuracy in passing. The principal objection to their game is that gg 157 the element of luck seems much more prominent. The game swings back and forth between the goals like a pendulum and when at last one side gets a try -the English for touchdown-one cannot help suspecting that it was partly clue to chance. I suppose it is largely the presence of this element of luck that makes the game less exciting. Certain it is that, whereas a spectator of the American game has difficulty in maintaining the appearance of sanity, he finds in watching the English game an equal difficulty in keeping himself keyed up to a proper degree of enthusiasm. The English game corresponding to baseball is cricket. The fact that the former is the American and the latter the English national game is a commentary on the difference in temperament between the two nations. Cricket is a developed product of English slowness and two old cat. The latter, as we used to play it, was a pretty respectable game, but its more highly cultured English cousin would put any healthy-minded American boy to sleep. It is played with two bases--wickets, they are called,-a ball prac- tically the same as a baseball, and a flat bat about five or six inches wide. The ball is bowled instead of pitchedg that is, it is thrown with a stiff arm so as to light some six or eight feet in front of the wicket. The batter stands in front of the wicket and hits the ball on the bounce. He does not have to run unless he wants to and he can run on anything, fair or foul. A run consists in covering the distance between the two bases. A man bats until he is out, and he is out only when the bowled ball hits his wicket or when he is caught out on a Hy. A good batter will make anywhere from thirty to a hundred or more runs. A side stays in until ten of its eleven men are out, and each side has one inning. An ordinary match will last from one to two or even three days of some six hours each. Any American who could tolerate so slow a game must come of foreign stock not yet acclimatized. Still. the English are every whit as fond 158 THE ---H Vol. IV. of cricket as we are of baseball, and hnd just as many faults with our game as we do with theirs. Of the other games they play, tennis, hockey, and lacrosse are the most important. Tennis is the same game as it is here. Hockey is merely an organized game of shinney, and lacrosse is a recently imported game from Canada which has gained considerable popu- larity. In addition to these, racquets, similar to tennis, and lives, a sort of handball, are played a great deal in English schools, but not at the universities. Track work-which they call athletics-is at least as popular there as here, An ordinary track meet includes the same events as ours with these exceptions: they do not have the discus throw, the high hurdles, or the pole vault, and their long-distance run is three miles instead of two. The English shine in the long-distance: Americans, in the short distance runs. The common meeting-ground is the half-mile. Americans are also superior in the hurdles and the weights. . It may be interesting to note briefly some English characteristics in the management of athletics, some of which, to borrow a geological phrase, are wise and some otherwise. To begin with, the various sports both college and university are managed entirely by the student body. The faculty reserves no power of supervision. The management of each sport is vested in a president and a secretary, who act conjointly in choosing the team and in arranging the schedule. With rare exceptions, the secretary of one year becomes the president of the next. Except in rowing, there is practically no such thing as coaching. Occasionally an old college or 'varsity man comes out and offers individual members of the team some advice, but such occurrences are rare and even on the river all coaching is done gratis. The hired coach, and even the physical director, is unknown. With the exception again of the rowing crew, which has its training-table, the members of the various teams are left to do their own training. This, however, they do conscientiously, as a rule. The 'varsity management for each sport is constantly on the look-out for the best material showing up in the twenty-two various colleges, and, owing to the fact that such a large proportion of English fellows take part in athletics, the managers have an abundance of material. to choose from. This competition accounts in large part for the average excellence of the 'varsity teams. Z- il-ATEWA: 7 Tw Vol. IV. THE g 139 OUR ALUMNI.
