Forward ever be her watchword, Conquer and prevail ; Hail to thee, our Alma Mater, Cumberland, all hail! Cherished by th sons and daughters, Sweeter memories throng Around our hearts, our Alma Mater, As we sing this song. MEMORIAL HALL PHOENIX 19 2 5 CARUTHERS HALL O Cumberland! Verily thou art Alma Mater! Thou dost unite the visdom and courage of Athena With the love and beaut} ' of Aphrodite. Strong art thou, beautiful and kind. In thy offspring shall the nation be blest; About thy snow-%vhite neck shall hang A string of pearls, immaculate as thou. From adversity ' s sea, recalling to mind Obstacles surpassed, precient of character wrought, O Cumberland, verily thou art Alma Mater! Once upon a time — in the good old days when Bulldogs were tenacious natu ally and not artificially — Red variety migrated southward, crossed the flumen Tennesseemin and camped be- neath the shades of the mighty cedars of old Lebanon. Here, in the virgin forest, the Red Bulldogs assembled and chose for their queen a beast of wondrous beauty and of surpassing sagacity. Her name was Wisdom; her throne a rock. Lord, through this hour be Thou my Guide, For in Thy power I do confide. ■ s£ ■iAia _. ■ I__J li. 3; jvik L£;._ U y l v ' ' . ■ ' i VxU l ij-jiJ-C- 1 ■ r D-. ■ i. - « .- 1 MEN S DORMITORY Her canine majesty, ruling in all her glory, confiscated the Universitj ' Press and published the Phoenix on time, an incident without precedent or subsequent, containing the following manifesto: To the Denizens of the Cedars, Wise and Otherwise: Be it known that my three sons, Prince Spiritual, Prince Militaire, and Prince Academique, shall be respected as the rulers in the boundless confines of the domain of her majesty. Queen of Cumberland. And now Prince Spiritual crept cautiously through the mysterious creation with a churchman under his belt, struck the Rock and summoned the embryonic preachers about a wooden cross and opened school. Let us sav: For this warfare train us. Father — God of battles, God of might — That no mists of hell may gather, Darken nor obscure the right. Gird our souls with Thy compassion, Purge our minds with fire divine; Light of Light, the Truth Incarnate, Make our lives and thoughts like Thine. Amen. 13 PHOENIX 19 2 5 FIFTY HALL Next came the blare of trumpets and the roll of drums. Prince Militaire, with tattered battle flag, marched at the head of a column of youthful and aspiring soldiers; class call sounded and trouble began. Let us say: God of our fathers, known of old — Lord of our far-flung battle line — Beneath whose awful hand we hold Dominion over palm and pine — Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget! Lest we forget! The tumult and the shouting dies — The Captains and Kings depart — Still stands Thine ancient sacrifice. An humble and contrite heart. Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget ! Lest we forget ! Far-called, our navies melt away — On dune and headland sinks the fire — Lo, all our pomp of yesterday Is one with Nineveh and Tyre! Judge of the nations, spare us yet. Lest we forget! Lest we forget! If, drunk with sight of power, we loose Wild tongues that have not Thee in awe- Such boasting as the Gentiles use. Or lesser breeds without the Law — Lord God of Hosts, be with us yet. Lest we forget! Lest we forget! For heathen heart that puts her trust In reeking tube and iron shod — All valiant dust that builds and dost. And guarding calls not Thee to guard. For frantic boast and foolish word. Thy m ercy on Thy people, Lord. Amen. 14 PHOENIX 19 2 5 fl OLD CUMBERLAND Soon Prince Academi(iuc, in Cap and Gown, folloived by a more sedate and a more dignified throng, carrying many books of Knowledge, came upon the scene, rang the bell and began to turn out students. Presently a blood-curdling cry, a piercing yell, fifteen rahs, and Wisdom, the Mighty Red Bulldog, the powerful queen, in all her glory, sat on the throne. Let us say: Over all the world so wide, alumni in the lead, Fighting staunchly, day by day, for Cumberland ' s greed. Ever foremost in the fray, brave and true they stand. Faith and loyalty allied, warriors of Cumberland. Then let us fight, fight, fight for Cumberland, The name we all revere ; Let us fight, fight, fight, ev ' ry man, So give a rousing RAH, RAH, RAH, we yell, we yell; Our Alma Mater held so dear, then let the chorus swell. For her fair fame will spread the name of Cumberland. O God, our help in ages past. Our hope for future vears. Our shelter from the stormy blast, And our eternal Home. O God, our help in ages past. Our hope in years to come. Be Thou our guard while life shall And our eternal Home. last. 15 l ■ g -i; ; 3; ' W PHOENIX 19 2 5 GIRLS DORMITORY About this time anon Dixie Bill and Yankee Red opened up a four-year debate with daggers, horse-pistols, shotguns, cannon, sabers, cross-belts and hardtack. The Red Bulldogs then beat a hasty retreat to their woodland lair. We ' re loyal to you, Cumberland, We ' re steadfast and true, Cumberland. We ' ll back )ou to stand against the best in the land, ' Cause we know vou ' ve got sand, Cumberland. Rah! Rah! Rah! Hold that old line, Cumberland, We ' re betting on you, Cumberland. Our team is our fame protector, On, boys, for we expect a Victory from you, Cumberland ! And now- Yankee Red and his throng of bloodthirsty followers marched into the palace of the mighty Bulldog Queen, stripped the domicile of all its antique ornaments, and quartered many soldiers within the walls. But, by night came a pack of outraged Bulldogs, who drove Yankee Red from, their strong- hold and fed the palace to a thirsty flame of FIRE. i6 PHOENIX 19 2 THE .AXNEX With a relentless step, Yankee Red retreated, withdrew from the field of battle, and camped upon a high hill not far away from the demolished Bulldog domicile. While awaiting the return of the homeless canines, word came from Appomattox to the effect that the Boys in Grey had fostered a Lost Cause. Then the long column of Blue, the soldiers having fallen into ranks, passed over the mountain and away. Cumberland, Cumberland, loved Cumberland, Ever will our hearts be turned to thee; Patron thou of love and duty, Stately in thy classic beauty, Sons and daughters proud to claim thy name are we. Cumberland, Cumberland, loved Cumberland, Steadfast we forever and a day. In devoted laudatory. Ever strong to chant thy glory, Nos laudamus te, Alma Mater, Nos laudamus, laudamus te. The habitat of the Red Bulldogs was deserted. Only dying embers marked the home of a great pack of homeless beasts. And the cedars of old Lebanon hung their heads, as if mourning for their passing. ' 7 PHOENIX 19 2 5 M HARRISCOTE Then we ' ll fight, fight, fight, For the Maroon and White! Victory will our slogan be ; Dear Alma Mater, fairest of all. Thy loyal sons will obey thy call To fight, fight, fight For the Maroon and White, Ever the goal to gain, Into the game for Cumberland ' s fame. Fight on to victory! And now a wondering Bulldog chanced to pass the spot which to him had once been home. On glancing cautiously about and seeing no one in sight, he lingered, and his mind was flooded with memories — memories of days that were dead. Silently he stooped and took from the ashes a dying ember, and wrote: E C I N E R I B U S R E S U R G O. Like the immortal Phoenix, rising from its ashes after a thousand years, Cumberland was Cumberland again. And again the mighty Bulldogs dw-elt among the cedars of old Lebanon. Again the cedars gave heritage to a vicious and a tenacious beast, the mighty Red Bulldog. i8 m PHOENIX 19 2 5 M This is the year of our Lord, nineteen hundred and twenty-five. The palace of the mighty Bulldog Queen has been rebuilt, and today multitudes crowd her corridors and her halls. Prince Academique is the king, under whose wise reign the Bulldogs have prospered much. Today the traditions of the ancient Red Bulldogs are realities, for from the field of battle comes the vic- torious yells of Rah ! Rah ! Rah ! Victory, ah, victory, that is the Red Bulldogs, that is old Cumberland, that is new Cumberland, that is the watchword of Alma Mater. Let us say: O God, our Heavenly Father, the Source of Light and Life, Whose Love and Service are the beginning of Wisdom, Bless and illumine by Thy Holy Spirit every School of sound learning, and especially this University with which we are connected. CJive the Spirit of Wisdom to all those to whom Thou has given the authority of Teaching and of Government. Help us to keep ourselves mentally alert, physically fit, and morally straight; and by Thy constant Presence in our work and in our play, enable us to quit ourselves like men, growing day by day in those manly virtues which characterize the Christian gentleman. All of which we ask in the Name of the Great Teacher and Master of men, Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. 19 ■% ' ' f ' «- ' M ' ' ■ p ■mniyirxi .

Thou canst not boast supremacy in wealth, Or fame, or years. Thou hast not marbled walls, Nor antique-statued halls, nor granite colonnades. Nor campus dotted with ten thousand trees. Meagre thy dowry, and thy teachers few, Vet thou, like hardy peasants with rude implements, Vho strike from the virgin soil its wealth Of flowers and fruit, making the earth to blossom As the rose.

Hopeful of the new life of the new age That dawned at Appomattox. And today Th consecrated toil enthrones thee peer, By thy right of service, of sister institutions Older and richer far.

His love for Cumberland, his Alma Mater, is not an empty sentimsnt, but has always manifested itself in work for everything which would be of advantage to his Alma Mater. His term as president, which began in 1922, has been one of able action, progress, and prosperity. President Harris is a man of the highest ideals, and his ideals are more than day- dreams. He is a man of action. High ideals and action are combined within his char- acter in a remarkable degree. His talent for creating original plans for the advance- ment of Cumberland has done much toward making him famous. For instance, his scheme of the Equivalent Endowment Bond — a bond which the buyer does not pay for in capital, but only pays the interest on the amount of the bond. This idea is only one of the many which he has promoted for Cumberland ' s benefit. As for President Harris ' relation to the faculty and to the student body, he has the love, the respect, and the admiration of all. He always has a pleasant word and a gentlemanly greeting; he is always ready to help, and he makes friends by the score. Tennessee is proud to claim President Harris for a son, and Cumberland University is proud to claim him as an alumnus. He received his B.D. degree here, and was an outstanding figure throughout his college days. He received his D.D. degree from Waynesburg College, Pennsylvania, in which state he is especially well known, and where he has a great number of friends. In 1894 he was ordained a Presbyterian minister, and at Lewisburg, Tennessee, he started a ministry which has given him the highest credit and honor. He served with all his natural zeal and ability at Lewis- burg until 1903, at which time he went to Pennsylvania, and became minister of the Shady Avenue Presbyterian Church at Pittsburg, where he served for fourteen years, rendering a service which made his church successful and endeared him to the hearts of his whole congregation. In his work for the Dry Federation of Pennsylvania he became one of the best known lecturers of the country, speaking in all the large cities throughout the land, and making himself famous as a reformer. He was director of the industrial depart- ment of the National Reform Association, which did much toward putting the eight- eenth amendment into the Constitution. He also showed his organizing ability when he established reform headquarters at Nashville. He was also president of the Ten- nessee Anti-Saloon League, where he proved himself a fearless fighter. True to his character. President Harris ' patriotism is real in every sense of the word. He has been in the army, and was color sergeant of Company C, Third Regiment, Pennsylvania, P. R. M. He has been in several other positions, among them being the position of Chaplain-General, Sons of Confederate Veterans. He is a Mason, a member of Kappa Sigma fraternity, and he belongs to the Com- mercial and the Automobile Clubs of Nashville and the Exchange Club of Lebanon. Doctor Harris has an exceptionally good space in Who ' s Who in America. 2+ 19 2 5 a DOCTOR JOHN ROYALL HARRIS, B.D., D.D., President of Cumberland Vni ' versily 25 PHOENIX 19 2 5 J[ Ernest Looney Stockton, A.B., A.M., LL.B.

Although quite a young man yet, Director Wilde has already made an enviable record in the athletic world as a coach of ability and lead- ership. His football and basketball achievements speak for themselves. The institution is very fortunate in having such a man to serve in this capacity. He cams to us in the fall of ' 23, and, serving in the capacity of assistant coach under the immortal Roger Thug Alurry, he dis- played a wonderful knowledge of both football and basketball, and on the diamond he was Mimms Tyner ' s right-hand man. This year, with part of Murry ' s champion- ship material, Wilde rounded out the football season with a fair degree of success. From the outset he labored under many handicaps, but ere the season was half over, he had built up a com- bination in both football and basketball which has brought the University much credit and re- nown. This year, from all indications, Wilde will turn out a baseball team even greater than that one of last year, which was considered by many to be the best in the small college circles of the South. A hard worker, efficient and deter- mined, he instilled the spirit of team work into the minds of his players, which seldom failed to bring him victory. 73 Letter Men Archie Red Clements, Captain (Guard) Red has been one of the old reliables for the past four years. Stalwart, upright, sturdy, and manly in all that he attempts, no more worthy and loyal defender of its laurels and its ideals has the institution ever had. Powerful, speedy, and conscientious, he is undeniably one of the greatest guards that ever wore the Maroon and White. Together with his physical ability, he possesses the knack of getting teamwork instilled into his men. During the past season, and in the Union game especially, by that old Bulldog spirit, he steadied his men at a very dangerous moment and inspired them to fight on to the last, which resulted in one of the best games ever staged on the Jackson gridiron. Ivan Lines, Manager- If those in authority had looked the student body over a thousand times, no better football manager could have been found than Ivan Lines. Mr. Lines has probably done more work — and certainly he has been the indirect cause of as many victories — as any man on the Bulldog squad, other than Tiny Knee. Lines is a manager who puts his whole heart and soul into his work, and while those Bulldogs are out there fighting their hearts out, Mr. Lines is there on the side- lines, doing everything within his power to make that old Maroon and White banner continue to flaunt the skies. Certainly he is the best manager Cumberland has had in many moons. Irvin Tiny Knee, Coach and Fullback No average man could have accomplished what Tiny Knee did last year, and the following season duplicate his record ; but Knee is not an average man — he is far above it. Tiny, without a doubt, is the greatest football mentor of whom Cumberland University has ever boasted. The entire team, for two seasons, was built around him, and truly he was the daddy of the outfit. Knee means to Cumberland exactly what Yost means to Michigan. As a coach, he has played his part well, but as a player he has passed the notch of excellence. A demon at hitting the line, a splendid punter, and the fastest man at circling the ends that ever wore the Maroon and White. For two seasons, the enemies ' motto was, Get Knee and we get Cumberland. But it was not often that Knee was gotten, for, true to that old Bulldog fight ' em, he stayed in there and fought — fought as no other can fight except Tiny Knee. 74 PHOENIX 19 2 5 M Letter Men Dave Murry, Pig, Tackle Murry is widely known for his football ability. He is noted on the gridiron for his fighting spirit, and he always gives his opponents just a little more than they can handle. He knows the art of going through a line to the serious detriment of the opposition. In the Union game, Pig played his heart out, and in every game he gave all he had. Otis Laswell, Tubby, Tackle Coming to Cumberland with an enviable record behind him, Laswell proved to be a man of wonderful football ability. Tubby has always been known to do his best and his best was ex- cellent. He never failed to open a hole in the line when the signal was given for him to do the work. Carl Hicks, Buster, End This was Buster ' s first year on Cumberland ' s football team, but his one year will never be forgotten by the ones who know what he has accomplished. Dependable, sturdy, a born fighter, a perfect gentleman, powerful and speedy, are just a few adjectives that describe him. Football, however, is not his game — it is only a sideline. His real fame comes from being one of the best moundsmen Cumberland ever had. Last year his King College game made him famous, and that fame continues to spread. Hicks was voted the most popular man of the team by his mates, an honor which was well bestowed. 75 pfj S ,=, PHOENIX 19 2 5 M Letter Men F. A. COCKRILL, Sheeny, Quarterback Few will ever realize how really important Sheeny was to the team. He is a flashy quarterback, a good passer, and he takes punishment like a pugilist. In the game with the U. T. Doctors, Sheeny stopped the 225-pound Phil White in his tracks, and in the Union game he did Mooneyham and Westmoreland likewise. He is indeed the gamest and scrappiest quarter that has worn the Maroon and White in many years. He will be back next year. Raymond Board, Bud, Halfback Handicapped greatly by injuries throughout the season, Bud, however, came through the season with a splendid record. He is a fine example of a hard-hitting back, a good punter, a splendid passer, and an exceptional broken field runner. Board added laurels to his crown when he crossed Stetson ' s line for the second time that it had been done in two years. Bud was always a source of strength to the team. Roy Parham, Doc, Halfback The lighest man on the team, but as quick as the proverbial lightning. Parham, at circling the ends, is indeed a wonder. Those who saw him in action in the M. T. N. game declared that he was the swiftest man who ever trod Kirk Field, and the fact that he made three touch- downs in one quarter gives them a right to believe it. Doc always gives his best, and by his grit and determination he has made up in fight what he lacks in weight. 76 PHOENIX 19 2 5 Letter Men Tom Curry, Lefty, Center Curry is another baseball hero vho has made good on the gridiron, and throughout the season he was a dynamic force to the team. Besides being one of the most accurate passers who ever wore a Maroon jersey, he was always a bulwark on the defense. His brilliant playing won the applause of the student body and the faculty. Curry was in the line-up of every game, and he will be back next year. W.ARD Meese, Betsy, End No gridiron star ever trod over Kirk Field who knew more football than Betsy Meese. Meese had a way of telling where every play was going, and he always was a principal agent in breaking it up. No opponent ever gained around his end, and no team ever boasted of a cleaner player. Silent, steady, always ready to go, never down in the mouth, Meese is as fine an example of a real star as Cumberland has ever known. His teammates admired and respected him, his coach knew what he meant to the team, and the student body appreciated his splendid endeavors for the old school, L. L. McKenzie, Mac, Halfback A hard-hitting and a speedy back is this McKenzie. A fighter who never knows how to quit, and a football star of no mean ability and, above all, a lover of clean sports. Mac did his best work in the M. T. N. game, making runs and line bucks that thrilled every spectator; however, he played an exceptionally fine game against Bryson. A spectator once said of McKenzie, If that big devil ever gets started, it will take an army to stop him, and we agree with that fan. It is hoped that Mac will be back next year. 77 , PHOENIX 19 2 5 Letter Men Allison Humphreys, Fat, Guard This was Fat ' s first year of college football, but in one year he has written his name in indelible ink across the pages of Cumberland ' s athletic history. He played a consistent game throughout the season and at all times he could be counted upon to do his part. With his natural football ability, his love for the game, and with his 195 pounds of brawn, he would make a valuable man on any eleven. Fat will be back next year. NiLES Cunningham, Connie Halfback Not quite as fleet as some, not as heavy as some, yet one of the most valuable men the school ever had. How does one account for it? Listen! Consistent, quick to discern the oppo- nent ' s play, always urging the team on, he was in every play. Willing to sacrifice individual honor for that of the team as a whole, his inestimable school spirit was a great factor in keeping the team together at all times. Through his graduation the team suffers a mental, moral, and a physical loss which cannot be atoned. Wade Parnell, Babe End They call Parnell Babe — but they call Knee Tiny. Everybody knows the significance of a nickname, for on the gridiron Parnell is everything but a baby. Being fast he is always down on punts; being a deadly tackier, he often nails the runner behind the line, and being a Red Bulldog, he never quits fighting. He has the stuff of which football players are made, for he never fails to deposit the correct mud when he is in the line-up. Parnell will probably be back next vear. 78 PHOENIX 19 2 5 S Letter Men Charles Glascock, Chris, End Although Cris is not as big as his name signifies, his opponents often go away feeling that he is. Off lilce a flash, he often broke through the line and nailed the runner for a loss. On nabbing passes Glascock is second to none, and once he gets the ball, he is long gone. Cris is little, but loud a-plenty. Paul Young, Freshman, Guard When Coach Wilde needed a man that loved a scrap, a man that always stayed on his feet, a man who wasn ' t afraid of anything or anybody, a man who could do his stuff, a man who always had the old Cumberland spirit, and a man who never gave up, he called on Freshman Young, and Freshman was always on hand, read)- to go — and when he went, something just naturally had to happen. Young will be back next year, and at that time great things will be expected of him. Jim Simms, Sparty, Guard Sparty was another of those second-string men who loved a fight, and, most of all, loved to be in the middle of it. A bit late in coming out, he soon rounded into shape, and became a player who could be depended upon at all times. The line was just as strong, the spirit was just as good, and the team work was just as perfect when Simms was in the line-up. He will be back next year. Elma Hunt, Tackle. Another first-year product who ended the season a full-fledged Red Bulldog. Hunt has every quality of a real star — ability, weight, grit, and determinatioii — and with another year of coaching we believe he will develop into a famous Bulldog. He will be back next year, and we are anxiously looking forward to the 1925 season, for we are expecting much from this boy. 79 PHOENIX 19 2 5 M acrubs If the mariner ' s %vlse, he looks in the skies, to see what he is about; How can he expect anj- ships to come in, if he hasn ' t sent any ships out? What could he expect if he did not send life-boats along with the big ships? In the field of athletics the regular team might be called the big ship sent out by its Alma Mater, bound for Treasure Island, where it is supposed to collect riches in the form of reputation, fame and honor for the school, which stores such riches in vaults alread} ' filled with treasured memories of victories won. Yet, if the big ship, on its return voyage, is almost overcome by the storms and the other opposing elements upon the sea, as it sometimes is, fortunate indeed is the captain if he can lower onto the lapping waves a small life-boat, comparable to those athletes who are not on the regular team, but who, in case of emergency, gather the booty and drift safely into the harbor of victory. No great man has ever played a noble part upon life ' s stage without having had behind him someone who believed in him, influenced him, and pushed him on. These men who help others seem to have a peculiar power for making or creating pleasing situations for their friends, and, although many times unheard of and unknown, they have that inward satisfaction of knowing that they were ready to play and that they have a niche of glory alongside of those who have accomplished. No one who understands athletics will deny that the team would be a failure were it not for those boys who go out, push the regular team, play against it and make its members realize their powers. And at last, when the team is on the battlefield, they stand ready to leap into the breach when one of the regular members of the team is assailed and overcome by the enemy. It is a beautiful thing to see such a spirit exist. No one doubts that they have played the game and played it well. Here ' s to the Scrubs! So m PHOENIX 19 2 5 R evle v of tke Season Cumberland, 6; Bethel, 6 In this game the Red Bulldogs were easily four or five touchdowns better than the Bethel outfit, but numerous penalties, combined with a number of fumbles, prevented them from scoring when they were in scoring distance. Cumberland ' s defense was perfect. The Cor- porals did not make but one first down, while the Cumberlands made eleven. Knee made a brilliant forty-yard run for a touchdown, but he was called back by the referee be- cause the Bulldogs were offside. Knee, Murry, Hicks, and Laswell played a fine game for the locals. Cumberland, o; Chattanooga, o The Chattanooga Moccasins, who, with the assistance of Lady Luck, held the Bulldogs to a 19 to 19 tie back in ' 23, again accom- plished the feat in ' 24. Truly this was one of the best games of the season, and the mighty Tiny Knee showed the mountaineers that he still knew how to do his stuff. Tiny was a terror to the Moccasins in 1923, and he was a double terror this year. By some man- ner they managed to hold him, but every man on the Chattanooga team had to work like a Turk. Although Tiny Knee and Red Clements were the individual stars of the game, the whole team put up a fine fight. No one fumbled, everyone got his man, every- body had the Bulldog spirit, and everyone did his best. Cumberland was held, but in being held they, in reality, won a great vic- tory. Cumberland, o; U. T. Doctors, 19 This was the strongest team that Cum- berland played, and probably it was one of their very best games. Knee received much applause for his brilliant plunges and his splendid punting, and Captain Clements opened holes in the line that brought praise from the sport scribes of Memphis. Sheeny Cockrill played a brilliant game at quarter, while Bud Board showed up well at half. Cumberland, 14; T. P. I., o With the disadvantage of having to rush almost directly from the train to the field, pla ' ing on a rough and unfamiliar gridiron, with shortened quarters so as to catch another train out, the Bulldogs tramped on T. P. L by a score of 14 to o. The Bulldogs were de- moralized and lacked their regular punch and drive, due no doubt, to the rush in which the whole trip was made. Cunningham played a brilliant game. Cockrill, Knee, and Board also played fine football. Cumberland, o ; Carsok-Newman, 40 The Red Bulldogs went down before the strong Carson-Newman eleven, but they went down fighting to the last, in spite of the 40 to o score. Each Bulldog gave his best and fought with all his tenacity in spite of obstacles, but good intentions could not be co- ordinated into a machine which could drive through for a goal, on account of the lack of teamwork. The Parsons took quick advantage of all breaks and piled up two touchdowns in the first few moments of play. This demoralized the Bulldogs and, though they fought harder, their defense was scattered. In the latter part of the game the Bulldogs advanced the ball into the Parsons ' territory, but the final punch for a goal was lacking. Knee, Board, Cunningham, Neese, and Laswell played their usual fine game. Cumberland, 7; Milligan, 9 Truly this was the most heart-breaking de- feat of the year. Cumberland was better by at least 21 points, but again Lady Luck frowned on the travel-worn Red Bulldogs. Cumberland made more yardage, kicked fur- ther, and in general played a better game than the Milliganites, but fumbles, combined with the lack of teamwork when teamwork was needed most, were responsible for the de- feat. The game had no individual star. The Bulldogs were off form, but nevertheless the mountaineers had all they could do to lick them, even in that condition. Cumberland, 13; Union, ig Three touchdowns in the first twelve min- utes of play spelled a 19 to 13 defeat for Cumberland ' s Red Bulldogs when they locked horns with the Bulldogs of Union University, of Jackson. Ladies and gentlemen, did the Cumber- landers come back in the next quarter? Frankly, we think they did ! They came back and they stayed, and the rest of the game 81 PHOENIX 19 2 5 was all Cumberland ' s, for Union played on the defense for three solid quarters, playing in the very shadow of its goal, with the Red Bulldogs smashing through the line, circling the ends, and in general playing havoc with its defense. But, alas, the game ended about a moment too soon. Knee was on a rampage, Meese was seeing red, Murry was fighting his heart out, Clements was battling like a demon, and nothing this side of Hades could have stopped Cunningham, and then, and then, ladies and gentlemen, the final whistle blew — a whistle whose shrill notes sent a thrill of unspeakable joy to the hearts of the Uriionites — a whistle which sent a note of deepest sorrow to the hearts of five hundred Cumberland support- ers. The game was over, Cumberland was defeated; but Cumberland knew, Jackson knew, and Union knew that the best team was the loser. Cumberland, 22 ; Brysok, o Hitting hard and running smoothly, the Bulldog machine swamped the Bryson eleven by a score of 22 to o. It was not the listless, fumbling crew that faced Bethel at the first of the season, but a co-ordinated driving team, taking advantage of every opportunity to score. The Bulldogs entered the scrap bristling with a week ' s growth of whiskers, having sworn that they would remain so until they had hung a scalp to their belt. It was a good game all the way through. The Bulldogs scored their first touchdown in the first five minutes of play, when McKenzie hopped over the line. Knee, Cunningham, Parham, and McKenzie displayed wonderful football ability in this game. Cumberland, 23; M. T. N., o With three regulars out of the game, and with several others on the ailing list, the crippled Bulldogs completely swamped the Middle Tennessee Normal eleven by a score of 32 to o. Normal came on the field primed to win, as the dope favored them, but Knee and Parham said that they could not, there- fore they did not. Knee, Cunningham, and McKenzie ripped the Normal line to a frazzle throughout the game, while Parham had the greatest day of his football career in circling the ends. Laswell, Humphreys, Murray, and Curry also came in for honorable mention. Cumberland, 14; Stetson, 31 With three regulars out, and after a thou- sand-mile train ride over three states, the Red Bulldogs went down before John B. Stet- son Universitv, of DeLand, Fla., on Turkey Day. The Bulldogs put up one of the greatest fights of the season. Doped to lose by at least fifty points, they, although outweighed twenty-five pounds a man, fought the Stet- sonites to a standstill before the third quarter was over. Tiny Knee, Cris Glascock, and Bud Board played stellar ball for the Bulldogs. Knee dashed 85 yards for the first touch- down and then kicked goal. The next touch- down came after Glascock had recovered a punt and made 55 yards, being stopped on the two-yard line. Board carried the ball o ' er, and Knee kicked goal. The Bulldogs were very much handicapped by the absence of Captain Clements, Betsy Meese and Babe Parnell. The Score Team. We. Bethel 6 Chattanooga o U. T. Doctors o T. P.

Third Base Captain Moore held down the third sack, and at this position he proved to be an ace. Pal seemed unable to strike the hitting stride of ' 23, which put him at the head of the batters. Although Moore slumped a bit from the year before, he made up for it by his brilliant fielding. Thomas HiK;lito ver. His:htop, First Base Hightower, on first, was a very valuable man to the team, leading the team in batting honors, and playing his position like a vet- eran. Hightop could always be depended upon to make an attempt to cut down a would-be hit, and many are the times that he did it. Roger i Iurr -, iillS:, Center Field Frank Wilde, ' BnRs Slmrtstop Wilde, at short, was one of the mainstays of the team. Many times did Bugs make catches that were labeled safe hit. His hitting was very dangerous, for he seemed to hammer the old horse hide just at the oppor- tune time. Ka.vmond Board, Bud, Second Base Bud was handicapped the greater part of the season by a bad foot, but he gave his best at all times. He was a steady man in the infield and a sure hitter in the pinches. Huhert Miller, Dusty, Catclier Miller was probably the best catcher ever seen at Cumberland. He knew how to handle his pitchers, and he could hit well at all times, ranking second among the batters. Dusty was always full of fire and pep, always fight- ing to the last ditch. Dusty could make any college ball club. Dexter Malone, Si ike, L,eft Field Malone, in left field, was one of the best fielders ever seen in these parts. His cool, accurate judgment of fly balls was remark- able. Spike was also a .300 hitter. Murry, who held down the centerfield posi- tion during the first part of the season, was a very valuable man to the squad. He was a sure judge of fly balls, and a timely .300 hitter. Carl Hiel.s, Bu ter, Pitcher Hicks was probably the most dependable pitcher on the squad. He led the team in games von. His no-hit, no-run game against King College will long be remembered. Buster ' s play was characterized by remark- able coolness and precision. John T ynch, .Jonnie, Pitcher Lynch, the spit-ball artist, finished the sea- son with a splendid record. Only the va- rious protests against his saliva-ball kept it from being more remarkable. Pitzer Major, Mellens Food, Pitcher Major, of no-hit, no-run fame, continued his brilliant bow-work of the previous season. He pitched better ball than ever, and con- tributed five victories to the Bulldog win col- umn. Tliomas Curry, Lefty, Pitcher Lefty came to Cumberland with a good record in prep circles. He was not used to any great extent until the latter part of the season, but he worked well as a relief pitcher when called upon. Bowser Chest, Chesty, Pitcher Chest was the mainstay of the pitching staff in his prep days, but he proved to be a hard- luck pitcher with the Bulldogs. He usually lost because of poor support, while the games he won were well deserved. .Tolin Slooney, Jonnie, Kig:l t Field Mooney, who started at right field, but who later was removed to second base, played a fine game at both positions, and he pressed Hightower and Miller for batting honors. Mooney is a little man in physique, but that was more than offset by his play on the dia- mond. Reese Iacey, Reester, I ' tilitj- Macey, who was used as a utility man, proved to be a capable man for any position. He caught, played infield or outfield, and was always ready to go when called on by Coach Tyner. He was a good hitter in the pinches. All of these assets made him a valuable man to the team. SS PHOENIX Basetall Review, 1924 EVER in the history of athletics at Cumberland had the prospects for a winning base- j ball team been so bright as they were in the spring of 1924. When Coach Mimms ' ' Tyner sounded the call for diamond candidates, he was greeted by a throng of play- ers, the sight of which would gladden the heart of any coach. A squad of approxi- mately sixty players reported for the initial work-out. Tyner took charge of the reins and immediately began the process of elimination. Before the passing of a few weeks of training, he had worked into shape a team that showed mid-season form. In the first game, it was evi- dent that Coach Tyner was in a position to present to the students of Cumberland and the base- ball fans of Lebanon a brand of baseball far above reproach. Nor was all this due to the players. Without the tutorage of the Little Fellow, the Bulldogs would have been at a loss. Tyner demonstrated his ability as a coach by giving to Cumberland a team which won eighteen games out of twenty-six played, for an average of .682. With Hicks, Majors, Lynch, Chest and Currie for pitchers; Dusty Miller and Macey, catch- ers, there were batteries destined to plant the name of Cumberland in the hall of baseball fame. And, with the aid of the invincible and hard-hitting infield and outfield, this was made a reality. On March 28, Southwestern Presbyterian University invaded the lair of the Red Bulldogs for a two-game series. Young Majors was invincible, and the visitors were humbled by a 11 to i score. The following day Cumberland, behind the superb pitching of Lynch, trampled the Clarks- ville lads, again winning, 11 to i. On March 31, the Bulldogs defeated an aggregation of Louisville and Nashville league players. Hicks and Chest pitched steady ball for Cumberland, and received excellent support from their teammates. Bethel College, of Kentucky, fell before the attack of the Bulldogs on April 3. Proffit, Bethel ' s star pitcher, pitched airtight ball for the first three innings. And, too. Lynch seemed to he master of Bethel. But the break came in the third inning. And before the smoke of battle had cleared, the Bulldogs had piled up nine runs to three for Bethel. The Bulldogs were sched- uled to play Bethel on the following day, but the Fates seemed jealous of their success, and the game was cancelled because of rain. Coach Leslie Mann and twenty ball players from the University of Indiana arrived in Lebanon on April 4. After three days of practice, Mann sent his charges against the Bulldogs. Aided by the splendid pitching of Woodford, the Hoosiers were able to win, 5 to o. Un- controlled pitching of Cumberland moundsmen, coupled vith the hard-hitting Indiana crew, sent the Tyner men from Kirk Field smarting under their first defeat of the season. The following day, April 8, the Bulldogs, thirsting for revenge, humbled the Northerners by a 7 to 3 score. Hicks pitched a wonderful game until injuries necessitated his removal. Lynch, his successor, pitched himself to glory by allowing the Northerners only one hit in four innings. After the Indiana game, the Cumberland squad departed for Jackson, Tenn. On April 10, the LInion University Bulldogs fell before Coach Tyner ' s men in a closely contested game. The final score was i to o. Majors, on the mound for Cumberland, displayed some splendid pitching, allowing Union four scattered hits. Brower, LTnion ' s ace, gave up five hits. Brilliant plays by the infield featured the contest. The following day. Union downed the Bulldogs by hammering the offerings of Lynch and Chest, coupled with their wildness, for eight runs. The hitting of Hightower, of Cumberland, was a feature. The next day Cumberland captured the third and deciding game of the series, easily winning, 8 to i. Hicks, for Cumberland, was in fine form, and never in danger. The Bulldogs left Jackson with a record of seven victories and two defeats. On April 14, they easily hammered, slaughtered and humiliated S. P. V., of Clarksville, in the first qf a two-game series. Majors, hurling for Cumberland, kept the Clarksville lads at bay by allowing seven scattered hits, while his teammates garnered a total of seventeen safe blows off the delivery of Flemeister. The final score was 9 to o. The next day the S. P. U. team surprised themselves and all others concerned by downing the Bulldogs, i to o. Chest, for Cumberland, pitched superb ball, striking out nine men, but he made the error that paved the way for the winning run. On April 17, T. P. I. came to Kirk Field with hopes soaring high, but the anti-aircraft gun of Majors blasted said hopes to smithereens. He gave up two scattered hits and struck out six men, while his mates pounded Summers for ten hits and seven runs. The following day T. P. I. again fell before the terrific attack of the Bulldogs by the score of 9 to i. Lynch and Currie pitched steady ball. 86 m PHOENIX 19 2 5 B The Bulldogs, confident that they had hit their stride, invaded the stronghold of the Tennessee Volunteers on April 25, and won the first of a two-game series by a 10 to 7 score. The pitching of Chest and Hicks, coupled with the hard hitting of the Bulldogs, were responsible for victory. The following day Cumberland lost the second game because of inability to hit Cantrell, Ten- nessee ' s big hurler. Leftie Currie pitched a fine brand of ball. Final score was 6 to i. The team left Knoxville for Jefferson City, where the Parsons of Carson-Newman were en- countered in a two-game series. On April 29, the two teams battled to a 2-2 deadlock. The hurling of Hicks was a feature. The following day the Parsons triumphed over the Bulldogs by a 3 to I score. The Bulldogs played in hard luck throughout the contest. Hightower ' s hitting was a feature, while Majors pitched good ball. The Bulldogs were scheduled to play East Tennessee Normal, at Johnson City, April 30, but the game was cancelled because of rain. From there the team went to Emory and Henrv College, Emory, Virginia, where it encountered the Emory and Henry nine. After an all-night ride, the players were in no condition to play, and lost by a 3-2 score. This was considered the weakest team played on the trip. Lynch started the game, but he was ejected because of his spit-ball. Chest finished the game. May 2, 1924, will forever be clear in the memory of one Carl Hicks and his fighting team- mates. It was on that day that Hicks, with the faultless support of his mates, pitched himself, his team, and Alma Mater to fame and glory by a 7 to o, no-hit, no-run game over King College, of Bristol, Tenn. Hicks held his opponents helpless and struck out ten men. The other eight men did the rest. The following day King was ' trimmed, 9 to 4. Lynch started the game, but was taken out because of protestations against his spit-ball. Lefty Currie took up the task and pitched a good game. The team as a whole played an exceptionally good game. From Bristol, the Bulldog crew journeyed to Maryville for a two-game series. The first was lost, 4 to 2. Majors and Currie hurled fine ball, but their support was poor. Hicks pitched the second game, and held Maryville helpless, while his teammates hit hard and plajed errorless ball. Final score was 8 to 4. The last games on the road trip were with Bryson College, of Fayetteville. In a two-game series, Cumberland piled up 27 runs against 4 for Bryson. Chest and Lynch pitched ball, while the whole team hit hard. Bryson, like T. P. I., served as a source for the increase of the Bulldog batting average. On May 9, the Cumberland squad returned from its extensive tour with the remarkable record of eight victories, four defeats and a tie game in thirteen starts. This is considered the most successful road trip in the history of the University. On the afternoon of May 9, the last game of the season was lost to the strong Union University team by a 4 to i score. Carl Hicks, Cumber- land ' s spit-ball artist, after winning five games and tying one in six starts, was slightly off form, and this, coupled with poor support and weak hitting, was responsible for the defeat.

He is a fighter every minute, and as a scorer he ranks among the best. His sense of sportsmanship is of the nature which inspires his men to work together. IHAING KNEE, Guard Tiny never failed to show the old fight and he always held his opponents down to a low score. He was not only a tenacious guard, but a splendid scorer and an accurate passer as well. He was always in the game, and from start to finish he forever exhibited the spirit that has made him famous in the athletic world. PO« ' EI.T. IMOORE, Forward Probably the best and the most dependable forward who ever wore the Maroon and White of Cumberland University. A wonderful man at worlcing the floor, an excellent passer, and a speed de- mon of no small caliber. Pal has been responsible for more victories than any other man on the equad, and he is considei-ed by manj- to be the most valuable man on the ttam. 1 AVK MIRKY, Guard Huge of stature, but as nimble as an acrobat, he forced his opponents to take long shots, and he never allowed himself to be drawn out of position. Murry, as a scorer, is far above the average, and at working the Hoor he is nothing less than an ace. In other words, Dave is an all-round basketball man of the finest type. WILL KELLY MtCLAlN, Forward Will Kelly ended last season with one of the most brilliant prep records in the state of Tennessee, and this year he has proved to be as good a college performer in the cage as he was during his prep days. Probably he is the fastest man on the squad, and certainly there is no denying the fact that he is one of the most marvelous shots ever seen in a local cage. He knows the game, and he was always on his toes. 89 PHOENIX = 19 2 5 m Varsity Men CHARLES BEECH, Center Although Beech is not as tall as most centers, his opponents were seldom able to get tlie tip-off. He fought from beginning to end. and his work on the floor proved to be marvelous. We are glad that Beech will be back next year. JIM ELAM, Guard Elam was another of those prep stars who have made good in college basketball. His regular position was forward, but he is a good man at any place on the floor. He is fast, consistent, and he never knows when to quit. IKVING B. CODY, Forward Cody works fast and smoothly, always keeping a cool and a level head. He is good on the defense, and he is one of the best shots on the squad. Always having a good word and an encouraging smile, Cody has proved to be a capable substitute, and he will be sorely missed next year. TED OtGHTERSON, Center Being powerful and speedy, it is difficult for the opponent to stop his advances on the court, while it seemed mere play for him to break up attacks launched by the enemy. His scoring was ex- celled by only a few, which accounts for his wonderful record in 1925. FRANK BUGS WILDE, Coacli A product of Union University, this ace of the cage guided the destinies of Cumberland ' s basketball team this season. He knows basketball and he is gifted with the ability to show and to tell his men how the game should be played. He keeps the men on tip- toe all the time, and through his un- questioned ability to get the best out of each man, he gave the school one of the best organized and one of the smoothest running machines it ever knew. We hope that he will be back next year. IVAX LINES, Managrer Mr. Lines is. without a doubt, the busiest man in school, for there is not a season of the year when he has nothing to do. This year he managed tlie football team, the basketball team, and the baseball team, any one of which is a man-sized job. Lines, however, does not only enjoy it — he loves it. A worker wlio is always on his feet, a manager who knows his business, and the favorite of all the athletic squads is this Ivan Lines. 90 PHOENIX 1 9 2 M BasketDall Review JOLLOW ' ING ill the footsteps of the great Maroon and White aggregation of last year, the Red Bulldogs, under the tutorage of Director Wilde, are coming forth this year with the hest brand of basketball ever exhibited in the local cage. With Pal Moore, Hazle Parks, Red Clements, Dusty Miller, and Tiny Knee, of last year ' s squad, back in the fold, and with Elam, Robison, Vaughan, and McClain, of the champion prep team, as a foundation. Coach X-S ' ilde soon had the Maroon and White machine whipped into a well-oiled and a smooth-running team. Coach Wilde, who is well known for his knack of getting the best from each man, piloted the scrappiest aggregation of basketball mentors ever known in the small college basketball circles of the Southland to the greatest year they have ever known. The men fought all the time, re- gardless of the score, and, when at times defeat seemed to be a reality, they, by their never-say-die spirit, turned the wheels of destiny and brought victory and renown to Alma Mater. This year will probably be Cumberland ' s greatest in the cage, and if the remaining games of the season prove as successful as those of the past, we feel safe in saying that never before has Cumberland had such a glorious representation in Southern college basketball circles. The G.ames The season opened on January 8, when Bryson College vas defeated, 20 to 17. The Bulldogs were unable to get started at first, but they soon recovered and put over the victory. Moore was the star of the combat. Br son was again defeated the next night, 26 to 10. In this game Pal Moore showed his stuff, while the whole team played a fine game of basketball. The third game on the tour was won against Merrimac V, 22 to 20. In this game Cumberland showed some of the best team work ever exhibited on that floor. The final game of the tour was won against the Dallas Y, 23 to 20. In this game the team, although a bit travel-worn, put up a great game. The Murfreesboro Elks were the next to be defeated, the score being 21 to 9. The game was never in doubt, although the team had some difficulty in hitting the basket, as the ceiling was so low. Peabodv College, of Nashville, fell before the Maroon and White machine in the first game on the local floor. In the first half both teams played a poor brand of ball, but the last part of the affair was great. Score, 34 to 11. January 31, Cumberland brought home another victory, defeating the T. P. I. outfit, 24 to 18. This game had no individual star. The second tour of the season started with victory over the Centreville Athletic Association, by a score of 22 to 18. This score does not tell the correct story of the game, as the Maroons were better bv at least 10 points. Moore and Clements starred in this affair. After winning nine straight games, the Bulldogs tasted defeat at the hands of the Union University Bulldogs, who defeated them by a score of 36 to 12. Clements was the star. The next night, the Bemis Y handed the Maroons a 17 to 14 defeat. This was a heart-breaking defeat, as the Bulldogs out- played and outfought the Y throughout the fray. Blair showed up well. On February 14, Cumberland defeated Bethel College, 27 to iS. Moore made 23 out of the winner ' s 27 points. On February 18, the ' arsity started its final and its most disastrous trip, for they won only two out of five games played. Bowling Green Business College fell before the Bulldogs, 40 to 32. The next night Cumberland defeated Ogden College, 19 to 17. West Kentucky State Normal de- feated the Bulldogs the next night, 32 to 28. Bethel College obtained revenge the next night, when thev defeated Cumberland, 13 to 9. The Y. M. H. A. of Louisville overwhelmed the travel- PHOENIX worn Cumberlanders and won, 52 to 16. The playing of the Maroons, on this trip, was below par, according to the season ' s average. On the next Monday night, Cumberland again handed T. P. I. 34 to 20, and on February 29, Ogden again tasted defeat, 39 to 20. Blair, McCaslin, Moore and Clements were the stars. The last game of the season was lost to the powerful Nashville Ramblers, 3+ to 21. No in- dividual starred. Basketball Results Team. Place. Bryson There . Bryson There . Merrimac Y There .

He has a pe- culiar knack of dodging in and out all the time, thus eluding the defense of the opposition. As speedy as any, and a crack forward is this Fitts. DAN ROmSON, Center Robison is one of the best centers Cumberland Prep has ever had. At the Nashville tournament last year a good deal was said about this boy, and there was some talk of him being placed on the all-state quintet. This was not done, but in the eyes of many he deserved it. He is always awake, and he knows basketball to the final ditch. KILMER HITNT, Center A steady man at all times; a consistent player from start to finish. Always ready to go; always fighting, and always playing as if his life depended upon it. That ' s Hunt. LEWIS BAILEY, Giiaxd A steady, consistent guard of the Preps, who knew his position w ell and who played in his en- thusiastic manner all the time, because he loved the game. An accurate passer and as quick as the next. Bailey also w as mentioned as a prospect for the all-state five last year. DAVE ROBISON, Guard Robison was, without a question, one of the best guards Cumberland Prep has ever produced. He knows every phase of the game, and he knows how to use his knowledge to the best advantage. He is quick, steady and dependable. SHELTON PARK, Foi- vard As nimble as a cat, as quick as lightning, and as good as any is this Shelton Park. Small, yet one of the gamest fighters on the team. Park, at scoring, ranks among those at the top. and he is, without a doubt, one of the most valuable men on the team. ROBERT LESTER, Forward Another small but brilliant forward.

He could always 93 PHOENIX wr ' ' x_ 19 2 5 M R eview of tke G ames I HE Cumberland Preps started the season vith a bang vhen they defeated the crack Goodlettsville five, 29 to 19. In this game the team work of McClain and Elam fea- tured. The same week the Shop Springs quintet came over to Lebanon and were whipped, 44 to 20. With two brilliant victories, the Preps, somewhat overconfident, fell before the Kirk Preps, of Nashville. This was a sad defeat, for the Preps played a fine game, and they should have won. Score, 13 to 26. Next came Eagleville, who was easily whipped by the fast Cumberland quint. The score was 19 to 6. Bailey played a fine game. Sigma Nu, of Vanderbilt, having defeated Castle Heights, came over expecting to win by a large score, but the Preps were not to be beaten, and the Nashville boys went home carrying the small end of a 23 to 14 score. Then came that road trip, at which time the Preps met the best teams of the state. Columbia Military Academy won by a 16 to 10 score. Columbia High School won, 24 to 21. Lewisburg High School, with the aid of twenty-two personal fouls, won by a score of 21 to 9, after the first team had been replaced by second-string men. Morgan, the Lion of the South, was sub- dued bv the battle-worn Bulldog Pups. This was the best game played in the state, some have accbiimed, and when the Maroon and White Bulldog Pups came through with a 23 to 21 win, they had acco rnplished much. Not yet over the Morgan game, which they won the night before, the Bull Puppies fell before Franklin County High School. Score, 38 to 18. When the Little Tigers, of Sewanee, and the Bulldog Pups, of Cumberland, mixed up, one of the finest prep games of the season resulted. Score: Bull Pups, 19; Little Tigers, 11. Normandy and their honorable referee won a nice game from the Bull Pups the next night. The game was close throughout, but everything favored the locals, and Cumberland lost, 22 to 9. The next night the Preps ended their road trip bv defeating the Shelbyville High School by a score of 18 to 9. Chapel Hill, a rival of old, came down to Lebanon with joyful heart, but their marked feature when they left was gloom, for those Bulldog Pups licked them to the tune of 23 to 10. One of Cumberland ' s finest games, and the whole team starred. Gladeville fell before the game was hardly started, and the final score was 45 to 18. They put up a fine fight, but who could have stopped Elam and McClain that night? Bailey and Robison also played well. Peabody, of Nashville, fell the next week, the final score bemg 21 to 12. Cumberland plaved a fine game. Having defeated the Bulldog Pups earlier in the season, the Kirk Preps came down expecting to win again, but they were not destined to do so, for they fell before the onslaught of the Pups.

She never attempted to make spectacular plays, but the fans were always thrilled by the way this young lady played defensive basketball. TRANCES VAUGHAN, Guard Another star of last season ' s squad who always gives her best. One of the greatest fighters on the team; one who was willing to sacrifice individual honor fo r the good of the team; one who worked all the time, and one of the best guards that the Cumberland Co-Eds ever possessed. That ' s Frances Vaughan. NANA JENNINGS, Forward Nana was a potential force to the team all during the season. Her very presence was enough to keep the team on tip-toe all the time, and she never failed when a situation called for action. She was a fine shot, she worked the Hoor well, and she was above the general run at passing. BEKNICE AVRES, lorward To appreciate Jack ' s real value to the team one must see her in action. Of course, being the world ' s champion woman sprinter, she is the fastest member of the team, but her talent does not stop there. She is a deadly shot, and she covers the floor like paint. A real basketball star, we ' ll say. DOKOTHY HAJVOIILTON, Center Dot has every quality of a real basketball star. She knows the game, and she loves to play it. She is large enough to take care of herself, and she always does it. She almost always gets the tip-off, and after that she clings with the enemy like a leech. We hope that she will be back next year. FRANCES WICSSON, Forward Last year Mississippi was good to the Cumberland Co-Eds in giving them a wonderful forwai ' d, and this year she was just as good, for, in giving them Frances Wesson, she gave them one of the best forwards in the country. She is an excellent shot, and the manner in which she hits the basket from difficult positions is nothing short of marvelous. CORNELIA SMARTT, Guard Cornelia, the vamp of the team! Don ' t think that she wasn ' t, for there was not a trip made that Cornelia didn ' t vamp someone. She was more than a ' amp, however — she was a basketball player. Not as large as some, but as strong and as steady. She always made it exceedingly hard for opposing forwards at all times. 95 PHOENIX 19 2 5 S R eview of tke G ames JHE Cumberland Prep Girls started the season by defeating the Gladeville quintet, 15 to 6. This was a fine game, and the whole team showed up well. Next came N. B. C, of Nashville, who handed their much smaller opponents the small end of a 25 to 18 score. Cumberland, although much outweighed, put up a game fight. Murfreesboro High School, the champions of the state, won in a very interesting affair by a score of 22 to 19. Lamb and Vaughan starred. Gardensville High School were met and completely murdered the same week, the score being 52 to 6. Everybody made a field meet of this game. Gladeville came back strong the next week and played the Cumberland second-string team off their feet and won, 21 to 13. The best game the Prep girls played in the local gym was with Goodlettsville, which resulted in a 23 to 21 win for the Preps. At Gallatin, the following week, the Preps were tied in a 12 to 12 combat. They outplayed the locals, but in some manner they were held to a tie. The next game was with the Y. W. C. A., of Nashville. Although outclassed, the Prep girls played a fine game, and held the Nashvillians to a 24 to 30 score. Chapel Hill, rivals of old, fell before the Preps, 16 to 14. This was a fine game. Vaughan, Lamb, and Alexander starred. Watertown came down to Lebanon and met with defeat by a score of 30 to 9. Next came Nashville Business College again, and this time the Preps staged the scrappiest fight ever exhibited in Lebanon, and held the visitors to a 15 to 15 tie. Some fans were heard to remark that the game belonged to Cumberland, and we believe that it did. Certainly they outplayed the N. B. C. outfit. At Cookeville, the Preps met and defeated the T. P. L co-eds by a score of 26 to 16. This was a fine game, and Alexander displayed fine ability at scoring. The next Wednesday the second-string players defeated Lebanon High School in a very in- teresting game. The score was 14 to 2. Never did Coach Stout have to use a first-string player. At Nashville, the following week, the Y. W. C. A. outfit was faced again; this time Lamb was out, and the locals won by a score of 24 to 17. Chapel Hill again fell before the Cumberlanders, 38 to 12. This was a great day for the Preps, and this victory will be remembered for a long time. Gallatin fell the same week by a score of 29 to 11. The entire team showed up well at this time. The co-eds from Carson- Newman College came down and defeated the much smaller Prep team by a score of 22 to 20. This also was a fine game. T. P. L was again faced and again they were defeated by the Cum- berland Prep five. This time the score was 24 to 18. Sparta won from the Preps at the Nashville tournament by a score of 18 to 8.

A large membership, together with real interest in the meetings and the society itself, have contributed largely to this success. The members, many of them trained in the forensic arts prior to their entrance to the Law School, have helped one another, and all who have attended have been benefited. Especially have the programs entertained, this being evidenced by the almost perfect attendance of the members and the many visitors. The society has been given another impetus to carry it through its future years. The year 1924-25 will always be held in high esteem. Officers D.AviD W. Blocker President B. B. Gillespie Secretary H.

MARTIN LAW CLUB, organized many years At- ago, is second in age only to the Philoniathean Literary So- C ' ' ' ? ciety. Prior to the year ' 24, the club has always been just a club of good fellows, training themselves in the art of public speaking. In 1924, however, the club applied for and was regularly granted a charter from the state of Tennessee, and rightly assumed its place among the other organizations of Cumberland University ' s Law Department. The work of Andrew B. Martin Law Club has been debating, legal dis- cussions, impeachment trials, travelogues, etc. These varied programs have kept interest alive throughout the year, and enthusiasm has always reigned supreme. The outstanding speakers are; L. B. Atwood, Wild Bill Smith, Frank L. Johnston, Sherman Grindstaff, and J. D. Arrington. The club was fortunate in electing A. A. Turner, president. Mr. Turner ' s speeches, partaking of a solemn dignity almost ministerial in aspect, have moved the house both to laughter and tears. To W. F. Brumfield, the Daniel Webster of Oklahoma, we owe a great many of the interest- ing innovations on weekly programs. At his direction, members of the club were placed on the stand, charged with crimes ranging from high treason to assault and battery. Mr. Brumfield has been heard frequent- ly, in a heated discussion, defending measures and, now and then, strong- ly condemning his opponents in a manner which would do Patrick Henry credit. The club was formed in honor of the late Dr. Andrew B. Martin, who was, for many years, a professor of law in Cumberland LTniversity. Limited in membership to thirty, the Andrew B. Martin Law Club fills a particular need in the Law Department. Dr. Martin, if living today, could well be proud of the club which his memory sponsors. The club will always carry on his honor and foster the principles which were his. 103 PHOENIX Carutkers Literary Society Caruthers Literary Society has attained, during the year ' 24- ' 25, an unprecedented success. The officers in charge have tried to give the members a little experience in the vi ork of the lawyer and statesman. Evenings have been devoted to conducting the society as a senate or as a house of representatives is conducted. Many instructive bills have been presented, discussed, and disposed of. The membership has been large and attendance has been regular. Members have displaj ' ed unusual interest and remark- able ability, and all have gained in the knowledge of public speaking, and in poise, those attributes so necessary to a successful lawyer. Caruthers Literary Society of ' 24- ' 25 has, indeed, reached a pinnacle of success which future members of this and other societies may well envy and point to with pride and admiration. 104.

In its efforts to help worthy young men and young women to get a college education, Cumberland has dispensed with most of its professional employment, except foremen, and is giving the work to students who want to work their way through college. More than sixty students are paying their way through the school in this manner. When entering the University, such students usually give their note for board and tuition. Monthly the amount due them for their work is credited on their note. More than $io,ooo, which would otherwise be paid to professional help, is thus made to serve a double purpose — to carry on the necessary work incident to running the University, and furnishing an opportunity for more than sixty people to ac iuire a college education. An analysis of this self-help list gives the following information as to what most of them are doing. Eighteen are waiting on tables; five are washing dishes; two are working in the laundry; seven are sweeping floors; four doing stenographic ork; six are assistant instructors; three are doing library work, and five are assisting in the athletic program. Despite the large number who are working their way through school, the Cumberland Univer- sity student body is one of the most democratic aggregations to be found anywhere.

With the beginning of the new year, 1925, the Y has turned over a new leaf — not striving for more members, but all members ; not for better programs, but for the best programs ; not for a better influence among the students, but for the best influence possible. The members of this organization have definitely decided to make the membership in the Y at a premium. Our motto is: Less talk — more work.

Ten men comprise the organization, two of whom have already passed the Missouri bar since their entrance here. The club members have been active in all lines of helpful endeavor, and they do full honor to their state.

We have labored hard to make this volume one of which you will be justly proud, and we hope that our efforts have not been in vain. To those of you who are unfamiliar with the technique of the production of an annual, we wish to say that it is no small proposition, even at its best; however, we shall never have cause to regret that we attempted this undertaking, for we have profited much from bitter experiences and from constructive criticism. It has been the purpose of this year ' s Phoenix staff to construct an annual that will withstand the flood of future cares and joys, and to hold within it, as real as life, the glorious days of youth. During all the high tides and all the low tides of life, may the spirit of our college days, in the land where cedars grow, be preserved within its covers, to guide us serenely over the golden sea of Memory, scattering sunshine and happiness everywhere. In conclusion, we wish to express our heartfelt appreciation to Doctor John Royall Harris, president of Cumberland University, for the substantial advice and for the many words of encouragement he has offered. We also wish to thank every loyal son and every loyal daughter of our Alma Mater, who, in any manner, has been of any assistance to the staff as a whole. The Staff. m PHOENIX 19 2 5 PHOENIX The Kick-Off staff has worked, and is still working, to give you of the student body a paper of real value and of real interest. As to how well we have succeeded in doing this, you must be the judges. We have not been able to please everyone. We have not escaped criticism. Some of it has been constructive, some of it destructive, and some of it has been worthless. Criticism is natural to human nature, and we can only say that a good cure for adverse criticism is a glimpse or two of back-stage scenes. Publishing a paper is not always a thing of joy. We say this, not because we want sympathy, but to dispel any delusions which might be connected with the subject. However, we shall alwavs be found striving to make vour paper one which vou will like. Advertisements, on which rest the finances of the paper, are not to be had for the picking. They must be dug for. However, our advertisers have supported us well, and we are usually found riding the crest of the wave in the matter of money. We strive to reflect from the pages of the Kick-Off a broad view of, life at Cum- berland.

Viee-President Helex Hathorn Secretary-Treasurer The Amassagassean Literary Society was organized in 1847. The Hypatian Society, which w-as organized in September, 1921, has united with this society, thus making one big organization. Only ambitious students belong to this society, for its members realize that such a society demands a great deal of attention as well as study and work. It is true that there is pleasure connected with this work, as social events are given for the members, but this is only of secondary im- portance. The aim of this organization is to encourage the literary life of the student; to make each one of the members more self-reliant and more appreciative of better things; to permeate the high ideals and standards to which it has fallen heir, and to uphold the spirit of dear old Cumberland.

Since that time it has maintained its position as one of the largest and leading fra- ternities of the land. Today the fraternity has ninety-five chapters stationed at as many schools throughout the United States. The total membership is thirty thousand, the largest of any Greek letter fraternity in existence. Tennessee Lambda Chapter of Sigma Alpha Epsilon was established at Cumber- land in i860. At present Tennessee Lambda has five hundred and seventy alumni scattered throughout the land. During the ' ear 1924-25 the chapter has won many student honors An endowment fund has been created to purchase a new home for the chapter near the university campus. There are thirty-two men in the chapter this year, fifteen from the Law Department and seventeen from the literary school. 123 M.

Tke University Masonic Club UST as Masonry is one of the most ancient and highly respected of the world ' s fraternal organizations, so is the Cumberland University Masonic Club one of the oldest and most important factors in the life of the University. The wholesome fellowship of its membership, the public spiritedness of the or- ganization, and the unvarying stand of its men for the best in our university life have made it one of the highly honored groups in the student community. Keping up an old tradition, the men meet once a month at a dinner, where com- radeship is cultivated and interesting programs are rendered. Fratres in Facultate Dean E. L. Stockton Judge W. R.

Foster, A.B., LL.B., LL.D. Benjamin S. Foster is one of the most prominent and one of the most distinguished educators whose name adorns the alumni records of Cumberland University. For thirteen years he was president of a college for women, which was, at that time, in affiliation with Cumberland University, and which was the immediate forerunner of co-education in the institution. Mr. Foster was born in Wilson county, not far from Lebanon, in the historic Spring Creek settle- ment. He is a descendant of John and Martha (Donnell) Foster, pioneers of 1796. Mr. Foster is now dean of Henderson Brown Col- lege, Arkadelphia, Ark. He has seen sixteen years of service with this college, which has conferred upon him the LL.D. degree. Henry Osw.ald Head, LL.B., LL.D. Hon. Henry Oswald Head studied law at Cum- berland University, and was admitted to the bar in 1 871. Since that time he has made a brilliant record in his profession. Testimony of his repu- tation is shown by the good amount of space which he has in Who ' s Who in America. Mr. Head was born in Sumner county, Tennes- see, and he received his preliminary education in that county. He was admitted to the bar directly after his graduation from Cumberland, and soon after was elected judge of the Fifteenth Judicial District of Texas. Later still, he became judge of the Court of Civil Appeals. His home is now in Sherman, Texas, where his success in the practice of his profession is still con- tinuing. His LL.D. degree was conferred upon him last June by Austin College. Popularity Contest, Commencement, 1924 At the annual student election, held during commencement week, 1924, Miss Panthea Bradshaw, of Lebanon, Tenn., was elected Miss Cumberland, and Irving Tiny Knee, of Wabash, Ind., was selected as the Bachelor of Ugliness. The an- nouncement of the result was made by Dean E. L. Stockton, chairman of the Student Honor Council. Miss Bradshaw richly deserved the honor which was bestowed upon her by her fellow students, for her beauty was unquestionable, and her popularity was proven by the large number of votes which she received. During her four years at Cumberland she. was actively engaged in collegiate activities, holding many student positions and winning many student honors. Her name repeatedly appeared on the honor roll, which is sufficient testimony as to her being a thoroughly capable student. Miss Brad- shaw was also director of physical education for women during her last two years in college. Mr. Irvin Knee, who was elected Bachelor of Ugliness, immortalized his name last year during the football season, at which time he starred in every game of the year. From the initial whistle of the first game of the season until the final chord of Auld Lang Syne at commencement, Tiny was the hero of every loyal ' Cumberland student. He, like Miss Bradshaw, was prominent in all university activities, and in the Y. M. C. A. work he was especially an outstanding figure. He received his A.B. degree last year, after coming to Cumberland from Wabash College. He is a member of Kappa Sigma Fraternity. 150 NON BULLSHEVIKI WE ARE NEUTRAL El}t ( ixmbnimh Kstmrn n Sees all, hears all, fnoli ' s all Vol. Cap. 1 Pint Lebanon, Tennessee No. .0000000. ALL THE NEWS THAT ' S FIT TO PRINT, AND THEN SOME FROSH JENKINS VISITS ANNEX LEBANON TO HAVE NEW WATER SUPPLY AVhat is believed to have upst-t more dope than the Castle Heights- Yale football game hap- pened last Sunday, when Fresh- man James C. Jenkins, of Ripley, Tennessee, an avowed woman- hater, made a social call at the gills ' annex. There were several C ' umlterland men on the scene of action when Jenkins arrived in what they term true cowboy style. He was be- comingly garbed in a pair of boots, a shirt, and a pair of worn- out trousers, which he said be- longed to Walter Bruce, who, it will he remembered, won the con- test for being the worse dressed man in school this year, Jen- kins made a hit with the co-eds by impersonating Tom Mix, Jacic Dempsey. Tarzan of the Apes, and several well-known local tharac- ters. When he reached for his hat. after a most delightful eve- ning, he w as most cordially re- quested to come back again. ANOTHER HORRIBLE MURDER COMMITTED l!:ilher L,ove or a Crap Oanie At the Root of the Matter As a result of a shooting affray, which occurred last night at 1:30 a.m.. Fred Lon Chaney lies in cold storage at Seagraves Under- taking Establishment. sh ot through the heel, and W. O. Tub- by Laswell .-ccupies a furnished room at the Walled-Off Hotel, which is located opposite the Lyric Theater. It is alleged that both men were angry when the shooting took place. The exact cause of the shooting has not been determined, however, it is generally believed that either love or a crap i ame is at the root of the matter, for it has been stated that both men were inter- ested in these things. Both par- ties were drunk when the calam- ity took place, according to Tiny Knee, who personally saw them drink a pint of sweet milk before the shooting took place. The killing of Chaney brings to mind the murder of James T. Blair, who was shot by James Ingriim over a checker game last year. Reporters have stated that both killings, which were executed in a most pleasing manner, were staged in the same room. At the coroner ' s inquest, a dime was found in Chaney ' s hip pock- et, a fact which proves that rob- bery was not the motive of Las- well ' s crime. It was upon this discovery that officers altered their opinion, and took up their present theory. Love or some other chronic ailment, such as los- ing a nickel, was the cause of the crime, so stated an official last night. (Continued on page 4) DORMITORY GETS WATER SUPPLY Master Miiul of Marvin P. McCoy Conceives a New De- iiai-ture in Water Supply for Lebanon Marvin P. McCoy has at last come forth from the darkened arena of mental struggle into the bright light of much publicity, holding within his hand the blue prints of his plan for supplying Lebanon with water. Blue prints most beautiful, saturated with the essence of highest mentality. Mr. McCoy received the inspira- tion for his great invention from a Chinese laundry man. While stepping down the street one balmy day, he saw this aforemen- tioned laundryman. and all about him did burst the blinding blaze of an idea. So strongly did said idea strike him that, forsooth, he was knocked to the curbing, and got one foot in the gutter, and. hobbling on down the street in this manner, with one foot on the walk and the other in the gutter, did wonder vaguely why he had become a cripple. He grabbed this brilliant idea, as if a comet, and w as carried hither to the heights of attain- ment, for, lo, the laundryman had been spraying clothes, for the pur- pose of dampening them, with wa- ter which he did eject from out his niouth and puffed cheeks. And now thusly are the blue prints shown to be. On a high hill just outside of Lebanon there shall be erected a gigantic Chinaman, of wondrous creation, of brass, and much size. From the mouth of said Chinaman shall issue forth a mighty stream of water, which shall bountifully immerse all citizens in and around the city of Lebanon. Great pumps within this China- man shall force water through his teeth, in a quantity most mani- fest, even as do words flow from the ruby lips of a co-ed, in a stream never-failing, and plentiful to the ne plus ultra or some- thing to that effect. The puffed cheeks of this Chinaman shall be huge reservoirs, wherein shall wa- ter be kept — yea, kept even until the Lebanon fire department shall use it on a great conflagration — yea, even until then. And the hands of this Chinaman shall be huge bowls — even swim- ming pools — and his half -closed eyes shall smile benignly upon the splashers therein. The blue prints show many wondrous details, and are now on exhibition. UNIVERSITY INSPECTOR LIES AT POINT OF DEATH The University ' s Inspector of the men ' s domicile was yesterday found quivering on the ground of the campus, suffering, it seems, from a horrilile shock, which, it is alleged, he received from the sight of a room in said domicile. The inspector is reported as resting a little easier this morning, though Dr. Red Chilton says that his mental tangles will never entirely disintegrate. The room which caused this sad case is said to have been found in a disorderly chaos and unsyste- matic confusion. A Listerine bottle raised its sweet head above the turmoil of the dresser, amidst swirls of dis- gusted towels, a Bolsheviki hair brush, a had-been jar of Stacomlj, and many promiscuous sundries without beginning or end, all of which grinned above the protrud- ing and drooping forms of shirt tails, down-and-out socks, and other incidentals. The dresser itself stood en- throned in an expanse of talcum powder, in which were prints of various sizes of bare feet. W ' ebster ' s dictionary reposed on a bed, with scornful glances at the Sears-Roebuck catalogue, which spraddled on the floor, lovingly caressing the rumples of the rug, the rimples of which w ere neatly camouflaged with the grime- seared floor, on which hobo-look- ing newspapers sprawled in fiend- ish glee, amidst many match sticks, over all of which the gar- boon reigned with royal mien. A pair of dilapidated shoes sat under the bed, with a disappoint- ed look at the sagging bedsprings. A rakish lamp shade hung above an alleged table over a lord- ly humidor of Samsonian tobacco, around which were arranged with artistic abandon va rious sprink- lings of ashes, agonized ends of chewed cigars, mottled faces of foolscap sheets, their beauty- marred faces by ink spots, and a Whizzbang, in all its coy inno- cence cast goo-goo glances at the grim ledgers with their dust- smeared faces. Villainous pipes looked with soot-calved eyes of envy at the dainty package of Humps. which, with their pure forms, per- meated the general underworld appearance with sweetness. An humiliated shoe polish can lived a sordid life in a corner and looked with indifference on, a pair of broken-backed boots. The room as a whole looked like a rubbish heap after a hurricane, and the inspector asserts that said hurricane was blown into his brain to remain there forever. After enacting the role of cam- els for practically a year, students who reside in the fashionable Ho- tel de Dorm were the apprecia- tive recipients of a bountiful sup- ply of H2O last Monday night. Although the water was on only five minutes, it is said that every- body, including Jim Simms, got there to see it. There were a great number killed in the rush, the exact total of which will be announced at commencement. Nobody got a full swig; however, the feverish lips of a lucky few were dampened to a degree of al- most complete wetness. The fact that the Dorm did get a little water during the year is causing the Lebanon people much joy, as the well-known fire de- partment will have to find some other excuse the next time a great building burns, as their old excuse, that there was no water, will not be sufhcient hereafter. LEBANON HAS A BIG FIRE (Editor ' s Note: AVhen this fire occurred only our society editor was at the office, therefore he had to cover the story for us. Hence the unique style.) The Story A brilliant fire w as held yester- day morning at the beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. X. Z. A ' agonwheel on the Nashville Boule ard. A large number of prominent society folks were pres- ent. Mrs. Wagon wheel and Miss Wagon wheel, who have recently had their hair bobbed, made a charming escape in pretty morn- ing dresses. The firemen were be- comingly garbed in blue, full-cut tunics, wearing on their heads bright helmets, resembling knights of old. The weather was delight- ful for an affair of this kind. Because of the fire, Mrs. Wag- on wheel will be entertained by Mrs. V. K. Bandwagon of College Street, who has just opened her home, built of red brick. It is the general consensus of opinion in these parts that the fire was most successful, the total cost of the burning being over ?3,000. The efforts, however, of the crude fire- men to put out the blazes not only resulted in the destroying of a lot of furniture, but also re- sulted in the extinguishing of a beautiful variety of colors in the form of brilliant flames. It is re- gretable that they were present at all. Freshman Lester says the best w ay to hit a woman ' s heart is to take aim kneeling. Miss Jones (in English): What does the sentence, ' I sent him to the office, ' express? Freshman Jenkins: Trouble.

It means, trans- lated, Rest on the whip, Phil, it ' s a hired horse, or words to that effect. Before I lost my literary complex, back in ' 25, I used to be crazy about reading — honestly. I even read history and similar dizzy fiction till I got all cultured up. and fed up, too! Now, I get no more thrill out of an evening with the classics than Noah would out of an April shower. I think they are all piff-puff. That ' s of my Alma Mater, as compared with •■ye auld dayes, back in ' 2 5. Back in them good old days, stu- dents of Cumberland University were led along the cinder paths of learning by those stern, un- swerving teachers. Smoking was unheard of. Students were scarce, money was scarce, and who, in that day, ever thought of a valet? Them dear days has flew the coop, as the saying goes, and what do we find in these hardened days of iniquity in the year 1927? Several days ago I oozed back there to Lebanon and this is what I finds. First I slips up to a daz- zling satellite, standing near the depot, and I says, by way of start- ing a warm conversation, What d ' ye know? A library full, she whispers, and gives me the chilly stare. Impudent woman, I thinks to myself. Well, where is all them cinder paths of learning, leading to houses of knowledge, as I used to tread ' em? Gone! Re- placed by gold-edged sidewalks. What curiosity did to the cat, Sto- vall ' s billion-dollar endowment did to Cumberland University. Smok- ing? There is a cigar store on ev- ery corner, and cigarette girls pa- rade the polished floors of old Memorial Hall, crying out their weeds. Door knobs, diamond studded, liveried butlers! Alas, alack ! Them good old days is gone forever. In the words of Merrill Bernard, that immortal poet, Put on your hat, here comes the woodpeckers. Yes, Madame was right, shades of decency, where art thou? ADVANCE INFORMATION The Astonisher is proud to give advance information concern- ing a number of instructions to be included in the college curriculum next year. It is with pardonable pride we steal a march on our aide-kick, The Cumberland Kiek- Off, which goes to press many times a year, whereas we go only once. Additional courses are needed. The buildings have been expanded from 2 x 4 to 4 x 4, and ■we are now equipped to broaden the curriculum. The new courses are purely elective — give and take. KtJL.ES No student is allowed to take more than two subjects, unless under the care of a private physi- cian. No student can pass any course unless he or she spends 24 hours a week off the campus. No student shall pay attention to either dean or teacher, more than to be ordinarily polite. Textbooks will be furnished free. Only certain kinds of noises can be made; these must not disturb the people in the village. This is under the supervision of the Stu- dent Council. Lights will be on at all hours. If you want them off, turn ' em off. No student will be allowed to visit home unless he takes two other students along with him. Hot air will be furnished by the power house instead of, as former- ly, by the faculty. Twenty minutes will be allowed for examinations. Have your pocket knowledge indexed. W ater- thro wing is encouraged. Try to pick infrequent bathers. The dining room will be open from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. Please ob- serve these hours.

WE BEAT THE BAND WHEN IT COMES TO SLAKING NOISE Barnyard and All Other Kinds It Pays to Advertise ' CAPPS AND CHILTON The Texas Cut-Ups YELLOW DOGS STAGE FINE FOX HUNT The world ' s record and the in- ternational championship of the noble art of bull shooting has again been broken, and this time the crown goes to Babe Parnell of of the literary department, who won it last night, breaking the former record after a siege of seven months. Parnell is to be congratulated for his success, and his qualifica- tions are well known, having de- feated such persons as Red Chilton, Fat Humphreys, Bull Durham, Fatties McCoy and Bernard and Billy Mead. All of these contenders were compelled to drop out a long time ago. Par- nell is without a doubt the great- est artist in existence, according to all these people, who are themselves brilliant successes in this line of endeavor. Parnell, in gaining the victory, succeeds Russell Porter, who won the contest last year. Porter was also a Cumberland man of great renown, as all the readers will re- member. KNEE AND COCKRILL HAVE ARGUMENT One morning last week ere the rays of the morning sun had pen- etrated the innermost recesses of the campus of our Alma Mater, the above-mentioned fellows be- came very intimately acquainted with each other on the second floor of the men ' s dormitory of Cumberland University. The argument arose over the question of a broom. This would seem, to the ordinary person, a very trivial matter, but to these two gentlemen there was a high and a noble principle at stake. After cussing and discussing the matter both pro and con, they finally settled down to real busi- ness. W hen the chin music was over and the time came to fight, the truth of the matter is that one of them was scared and the other was glad of it. However, a pugil- istic engagement did follow. The bout lasted about five min- utes and the running lasted from then on. Neither of the men scored a complete knockout, but it was only because they w ere in turn assisted to a near-by chair or some other article of support. After fighting a while, they both became completely exhausted and each man believing firmly that he had upheld his principle to an honorable degree, they decided by mutual agreement to bring the. matter to an end. The greatest loss that each man suffered was his wind. To the onlookers the controversy was an enjoyable af- fair, and all present called it a draw. Captain Archie Clements has an unusually fine line of senior Eng- lish notebooks which he will give to any aspering member of the Junior Class who will take the trouble to fish them out of the waste basinet on the first floor of the men ' s dormitory. These books are in good condi- tion, having never been used to any great extent. This is always the case in any offer of like na- ture. Also some Geometry and Alge- bra books in good condition, as good as new, in fact. These will also lie given away. Members of the international or- der of Yellow Dogs held a most delightful fox hunt in Kirlc Field last Wednesday night at an early hour. It is said that a goodly number of yellow canines were present. The Emperial Cyclone, Mr. Mar- vin P. McCoy, and the great Scratcher, Canine Joe Long, were in charge of the party, and they were ably assisted by House Dog, Bull Durham, and Great Pointer, W. J. Bruce, Jr. The Grand Set- ter, Billy Mead, had charge of the foxes, although there were none caught. As a fox hunt the affair was a fine Sunday school picnic; how- ever, it has be en stated on good authority that all present had a fine time, as they didn ' t have to tote no gun, nor did they have to do any walking. The members of this order are planning another outing at an early date, and the students of Cumberland University are look- ing forward to seeing the canines bring home the bacon, which we hope they will do. It might be well to state that we have just received word that the above- mentioned outing was not held, and we learn that this one, which we have written up, will be given at an early date. All are ex- pected to be present or accounted for. LITERARY CONTRIBUTIONS EPITAPHS This stone marks the grave 0( Willy Gazeep. He was driving one night And fell oft to sleep. Here lies the bones of DeWitt Jones, Who went to take a frolic: The girl used paint of perfumed taint. And he died of painter ' s colic. Here lies the bones of William D. He held two aces, But Long held three. These sincere tributes, so beau- tiful in their slow rhythmical movement, were written by one of our foremost poets. None other than he could picture so sweetly and so pathetically the end of our beloved friends. Such lines as these are sure to win the author a niche in the Hall of Fame. TEARS All work and no play makes jack. Out of the darkness came the sound of a woman weeping. Gent- ly at first, the moistening of the eyes — the discreet blowing of the nose behind a dainty square of linen. Two teardrops glistened on the cheeks — the corners of the eyes being wiped. More tears, in- creasing in size and in volume. A low sob. growing louder and loud- er. The handkerchief being held continually to the eyes. The sob mounting to a wail. Tears falling unrestrained, a heart-breaking la- ment, a torrent of tears — out of the darkness the sound of a wom- an weeping. Say, Macey, I saw a swell pic- ture show today. I had an awful good time. I cried like a baby. You oughter see it, it was awful good. I cried like a baby, I did, said Rosilee Bengal.

Affirmative. Wild Bill Smith and Sherman Grindstaft . Negative. Eugene Gilbert and Marvin P. McCoy. Extempore by L. J. Seay on the Whichness of What. Extempore by Abraham Zeigler on Why the Ocean is Near the Shore. This will be followed by a mu- sical program, at which time the Cumberland Scrap Iron Quartet, composed of Sandusl y, Mead, Long and Carson, will render the following ditties: Be It Ever So Homely. There ' s No Face Like Your Own. Mother. Hang Out the Service Flag. Father ' s Gone to Work. I Like My Chicken Served With Rice, But Not to the Tune of a Wedding March. If All the Bakers in the World Were to Go Crazy. Would They Be Dough Nuts? Boys, the quartet is getting good, and they are working hard, so let ' s give them a little en- couragement in a yell.

I was at the fountain, which is in Memorial Hall, and. behold, it was matriculation day, and I heard behind me a great voice as of a saxophone saying, I am Al- pha and Omega, and all the rest of the Greek alphabet, and what thou hearest write in a book and send it unto all fraternities whose names may be found on the books of the installment house plan. And lo! I turned and there es- pied a sea lion before me clothed in tweeds, bedight with divers pins; his head was solid, like unto fine ivory, and his hair was shiny with myrrh and Stacomb; and his eyes were as a flame of fire which flameth mightily when a skirt draweth nigh; and his feet were of clay, even as all god- desses; and his voice was as the sound of many cylinders missing. And he charged me, saying: I am the spirit of the frat houses, which are non campus mentis and set in their ways, and whatso- ever I tell thee in regard to them will be a revelation; do you take heed and repeat unto them, for they know not what they do. And the following he revealed: THE LOST LINE OF THE LOVE BLUBS PHI PI Song: We Are the Phi Pi ' s. Color: Red (Chilton). Odor: Burnt. Bray to Law Students: Speak- ing of fraternities, we are the only one in existence, and we have the best bunch of real fellows in the University. Why look at Red Chilton: he is the shining light of the institution and his dome is the torch which all others follow. We have a mean drag with Judge Chambers, and Judge Wil- liams is crazy about our boys. Blocker arranged that a long time ago. Another thing, old man, we sho stage some mean smokers ; ask Franklin if we don ' t. Our gang knows more funny jokes than Whizzbang, and it is generally known that we have everything but a love for Caruther History of a Lawsuit. Come on. big boy. get on the bandwagon and be a Phi Pi. SIGMA Ntl PHI Colors: Black and Blue. Song: Pass Around the Bottle and We ' ll All Take a Drink. Patron Saint: Jack Dempsey. A few words about ourselves: Can we be matched? Hardly. In size we have them as big as the next, and in every other way we are bigger. We play football the whole year through. If you don ' t believe it, just look at our fraternity rooms any time after we have ' had a meeting. We ad- mit our rooms are small, but good things come in small packages. If you join us we will guarantee you can call the judge anything you please and have competent backing among the brothers. Gambling and drinking are taboo in our lodge, but we know plenty things to do to pass the time away. We have it on good au- thority, that the road to the bad place is paved with our pledge pins. Our motto was not mis- quoted last year. It really was leak — not leap. S. A. E. Motto: There is strength in numbers. Colors: Dark Brown. Type preferred: Collegiate. Verily, the number of S. A. E. chapters has grown so fast of late that our list is almost as count- less as the sands of the S. E. A. Ve regret that the number of American universities is so lim- ited, but we expect soon to form an alliance with the Soviet In- ternationale, which will enable us to enter the continent of Africa and place chapters in the thriving colleges of Timbuctoo, Wang Zoo, etc. .If the projected treaty falls through, wo will be forced to be- gin placing two chapters in each of our present locations. The only requirement for a bid to our fraternity is a knowledge of mathematics, especially addi- tion, and the principles of infinity. Our brothers are all darling lit- tle fellows, and we always have the greatest number of athletes in school. We don ' t star in our classes, but we have a firm un- dersanding. Join us and you will never die of lonesomeness. SIGMA DELTA KAPPA Colors: Pool Room Green, Song: Sweet Adaline. Characteristic Odor; Talcum powder. AVhat they say: We are the Fashion Park of Cumberland, and we never reject any new style going, such as the shaved hat idea, which the whole chapter, including the pledges, embraced so enthusiastically. You see, first of all, we turned our hats down, but as people couldn ' t see our manly faces very well, we had to cut our brims off. There is no doubt that we think we are the best looking boys in school, and we always take our daily dozen in front of a mirror in order to ease our poor, tired eyes. To a man, we wear our pants thirty inches wide, and we have a hard time walking up steps, but that doesn ' t worry us any. Jimmy Franklin, the boy with the lingo, will teach you how to study Vanity Fair to advan- tage, providing you can ' t pass your w ork, for ' tis said, Misery loves company. If you are a Democrat and on speaking terms with Nailing, we ' ll let you help us buy our cigarettes and help keep us in pool chalk for Bill Daily. SIGMA GAMMA Colors: Black and Blue. Song : I Ain ' t Got Nobody. Preferred type: Members of the Kick-Off Staff. Yea, verily, if you join our club you will never have cause to flunk, for we have no rival, save Lamb- da Chi, when it comes to pledging faculty members. Joining Sigma Gamma is the easiest way to get a college degree. We own Bull Durham and James Baker Bassett, a pair who can write anything from a bed- time story to a funny joke, such as this. Bassett is president of everything he can get, and Dur- ham claims to hold the world championship of bedroom ath- letics. We also have Prof. Posey, who can flunk a man without looking at his paper. Speaking of numbers, we will admit that the S. A. E. ' s have us outclassed, but we always pledge a bright freshman when we get a chance .providing, of course, he is not too bright. We always give a banquet every year and, so far, our Lebanon alumni, including all street clean- ers, ice men, and broom peddlers, turn out en masse. Join us. and we ' ll either make a cub reporter of you or we ' ll teach you how to keep score in bridge. DELTA PHI EPSILON Song: That Old Gang O ' Mine. Colors: Green. Flowers: Onions and Grapevine. Line: Well, we know that you are not satisfied with a mere imi- tation of a thing, therefore, we are giving you a bid to the REAL thing. You naturally appeal to us, for we are all of your type — real sports. We have a large number among us who will be great politicians in the future, even if we have to pass the History of a Lawsuit to get there. Not counting Grindstaff, we have a great little bunch of sheiks, who. ' tis said, have that Vasilino guy beat by a couple of lawsuits. W e also have a num- ber of champion wrestlers (ask the ladies), who have won inter- national fame. Outside of being the best bunch in school, we have Roach, - who will make all examinations and help our feeble-minded brothers get by. Sign at the dotted line, and become one of us today. We need you, you need us. LAMBDA CHI Song: I Wonder Who ' s Kissing Her Now. Colors: Yellow. Preferred type: Faculty mem- bers. Now we blow our horn: We, the Lambda Chi ' s, are a very fine bunch; we have a goodly number of sheiks, plenty athletes, and we have one or two brothers who are really making passing grades. Of course jou would like to be a frat brother with the hard professors, and by the mediums of our club this can be accomplished. Ross Culpepper, whose greatest delight is showing off, is a mem- ber of our organization. and through his much-boasted powers of oratory we have won interscho- lastic fame as debaters. We are well represented in all departments of the University. Adams belongs to the Y. al- though he never goes to the meet- ings, and Wesson is getting to be a regular social lion. Another advantage of being one of us is the fact that we live close to the annex, and there we are often entertained by the charming co-eds of the institution. W e guarantee to get you a steady, even though she be a dashing widow with an expensive Ford.

THE CUMBERLAND ASTONISHER LOCALS Mr. Fred Simpson, of Cross Roads. Tenn.. ate only twenty-ope biscuits for breakfast last Tues- day morning. He was hungry all day. Mr. James Sinims, a well-known citixen of Sparta, Tenn., is able to appear on the oampus again. It has been rumored that young .Simms had his heart broken after a bust up of a certain little love affair. Mr. W. J. Bruce, Jr.. editor of the Cumberland Kick-Off, had a nervous breakdown today, as a re- sult of reading a poem handed to him for publication by Red Chil- ton. It has been rumored that Bull Durham made breakfast one morning last week ; however, all the students are prone to disbe- lieve the statement. Freshman James C. Jenkins is laid up in bed with the headache, as a result o! winning the banana- eating contest at the freshman- sophomore party. Mr. Dan Robison is out of school at present on a brighten- ing-up trip. Mr. Eugene Gilbert, a noble product of the law department, has announced that he will enter the race for dog catcher of Cum- berland. James Baker Bassett and Ross Culpepper, Cumberland ' s prize de- I)aters, were miserably defeated Ity the freshman debaters of the preparatory school. Both claim a frame-up. Miss Stella Sanford was very much surprised last week when she was unable to tell Marion Martin that she did not have a date, as Martin did not call her. The S. A. E.

Their actions commenced when thej ' realized that the L.imbda Chi ' s had the advantage of them, Ije- ing situated nearer the Annex. The dry goods stores of Lebanon report a 50% increase in business since the S. A. E. Goats have been initiated. Mr. Red Stovall was seen on the street of our fair city last night in the company of a GIRL. AVe can only wonder who she was.

NOTICE THE ASTONISHER ' S BOOK REVIEW What to Say When You Ought to Keep Quiet, by Ted Oughter- son, LL.B. A volume that we predict will be herded with the classics. On a subject which other authors have avoided. Mr. Ough- terson wades into the chilly wa- ters of philosophv and diplomacy. He takes the attitude that heart balm will allay the aches of hu- manity; that a compliment will do more good and be more far- reaching than a blow dealt in jus- tice; that tact- will teach you any cause. Chapter VIII sets forth the theme of the book. Here he rea- sons clearly that the time you ought to he quiet is the very time you always say something. But what ? Here geniua mounts the saddle. Keeping quiet gives con- sent ; therefore something should be said. He clutches courageously the horn of the saddle and avows that this is the time to turn on all the faucets of soothing syrup and inundate the situation with oils of flattery that calms the waves of turbulence and heals the deepest wounds and causes the music of the spheres to b3 gumm ed up. Truly, this is one of the best books of the year. If any member of the Cumber- land student body can find a place where I can get credit, please let me know at once. I was very unfortunate in losing the only one I had last month. Help an old friend along, and talk it up for him. My account is good if it is never paid.

The forest scene, where a puncture leads to her meeting with Don Scisco Fombids, a scion of ancient Spanish blood, is a rare piece of dramatic nar- ration. The adventures of the pair, including the filling station scene at Mount Juliet, Tennessee, is a rare bit of romance, but we are telling you the story, which is unfair, and which you will find worth $1.49. Published by Long- green and Company, New York, One volume, two illustrations, by Joe Long. Little Red Riding Hood, a novel by Dr. Edward Wyant, is a stellar literary effort of this dec- ade. The old nursery tradition of the little girl in the forest has been done over and made better by the well-known pen of Dr. Wyant. The old threadbare leg- end can hardly be traced in the swiftly-moving scenes of the dainty flapper, Florine, in her high-powered motor car. Florine, after a quarrel with her father and another with a college prof., leaves the quiet cloister of the Why Girls Leave Home, by Joe Robison, is a deep study of the psychological reasons why damsels disintegrate family life. Given in many phases and to give an insight into the master- ful logic, so to speak, we give a few of Mr. Robison ' s causes Why Girls Leave Home : The house catches on fire. Their mother sends them to the grocery. They have a date. They need a hair net before John calls. They need a breath of fresh air. They are invited to a party. They have to mail a letter. Dad needs a plug of tobacco. There is a bargain sale down town. Etc., et cetera, etc. Mr. Robison is a deep student of human life and. knowing exactly why the female of the species quits the home hearth, gives a profound exposition of the sub- ject in his own charming style.

A. room of the men ' s dormitory. HORSES! HORSES! HORSES! By Ring Lardner, Jr. A horse is a curious propersi- tion. A horse is not a mule, but an animule. Some horses takes to a meal of oats, while others takes to oatmeal. There is sev- eral diffunt kinds of horses, sich as: Race horses and Truck horses. Play horses and Dray horses. Rocking horses and Bucking horses. Dark horses and Bay horses. Smart horses and Buggy horses. Four-legged horses and two- legged horses. Cumberland horses and T. P. I. horses. Northbound horses and South- bound horses. Fraternity horses and Non-frat horses. Saw horses and W ar horses. Dead horses and horse In Memoriam. Night mares and Day mares. 45 Colts and Smith and Wes- son. The greatest of all is horsebe- tality. They is by fur greater demand fer horses than they is horses. They is also diffurent kinds of horses in this respeck than they wuz a 100 year ago, when ole King Cole cried out in his sleep, A horse, a horse! My kingdom fer a horse to beat off this night mare. ALUMNI NOTES The homecoming football game, held under the auspices of Cum- berland University, brought to- gether the following classmates of the January law class: W. G. Hall, noted pool player; Judge I. C. AVilliams, eminent jurist; Peter Bannigan. famous slanderer, and W. A. Riffe, who, it will be re- membered, recently cornered the market on pants buttons, thereby making a tremendous fortune on this luxury. Fred Peebles, William Fergu- son and Howard Wyant are now touring Europe, investigating mar- keting facilities for Tennessee White Mule. R. R. Roach, member of the.

He smokes all day and goes out at night. Resolved, That Cumberland cer- tainly has a faculty for flunking students. The co-ed who, during the past football season, was heard to say: I could love that Tiny Knee to death, is now a baseball fan and is raving about Dusty Miller. Woodfin: Doesn ' t Young look distinguished in that dress suit? Moore: Well, he ought to. It has l)een worn by two editors, three football captains, two pitch- ers and Eugene Gilbert. A bad check always comes back. Prep Grand; I wish you would smoke better cigarettes than Chesterfields. Nig England: Why? Grand: I don ' t like them.

His X Mark 160 PHOENIX Tne Phoenix EGEND, says the Phoenix — an immortal bird, feath2red with red and gold, ) 5 yet resembh ' ng an eagle — after soaring as it listeth for five hundred years, is burned to death on the altar of th; temple of Heliopolis. Shortly a birdling arises from the ashes and, behold, on the third day, fully feathered, it flies away. Such was the idea of a former editor of the Phoexix. He was partly true, and in part he was grievously mistaken. Perhaps there was some excuse for the error. The poor man was, no doubt, worked to death, and his once brilliant mind had grown dim because of the terrible strain of his office. The Phoexix does not rise every five hundred years. Ah, no. It lifts itself from the ashes of last year each succeeding year. Does it fly away and soar where it listeth? No, dear. It does not. It stays right here and how it does hurt some people. They do say that it is feathered with gold, and perhaps they are right. To be sure, it lives on gold ; it must have gold to live and grow. ' Tis easy to feed the park monkey with peanuts. One delights to do it. But, oh, how sad to feed the poor old Phoenix its yellow ration. The monkey cares not one bit that you should say: I think he is a punk specimen, a regular piece of cheese. The monk is as independent as the proverbial hog. Criticism affects his growth as little as it does the journey of the sun. Not so with the Phoexix. It is a sensitive old bird, and kicking is sure to rumple up his feathers and stunt his growth. The Phoexix is an exact reflection of the student body. It tries to represent the life at Cumberland just as it is. If you think the Phoenix is on the bum, don ' t say it to anybody but yourself, for if you revile the Phoenix you really revile yourself. One, two, or even three students cannot make a year book in the time allotted to the task. Each student has made this volume of the Phoenix what it is. Some have given their destructive criticism and no support, and it is these who keep the Phoenix from being what it should be. It requires the co-operation of all connected with it. Then, in the years to come, and in the following years you will be in Cumberland, don ' t kick. If you don ' t like the year book of this year, take hold and make the next one better, bigger and a truer image of old Cumberland. i6i PHOENIX 19 2 5 fcwf ' X- Curaberland, My Cumberland By G.

Her daughters prove a helpful mate, The teachers ' work does not abate, Cumberland, my Cumberland. Her servants toil from day to day — Cumberland, my Cumberland. Yet satisfaction comes their way — Cumberland, my Cumberland. With zeal and love they labor hard. Receive from students kind regard. Their deeds are praised by country ' s bard, Cumberland, my Cumberland. Her hardy sons are known afar — Cumberland, my Cumberland. In churches, pews, and at the bar — Cumberland, my Cumberland. They teach and preach and plead a case; Transform the black and yellow race From every sin, from all that ' s base, Cumberland, my Cumberland. Her daughters fair grace earthly halls — Cumberland, my Cumberland. Obedient to their master ' s call — Cumberland, my Cumberland. They make a name in all the land.

For: He knows what I know; He knows what I owe ; He may be a friend; He mav be a foe. I know what he thinks; I know what he drinks; I borrow from him When my pocket-book shrinks. I steal his smokes And laugh at his jokes; But if he betrays me, I hope that he chokes. He camps on my trail, And reads all my mail ; He cusses me out Each day without fail.

We shall hearken, in the stillness, where we wait till day be o ' er. And the unforgotten music, long unheard, will sound once more, Just as when we raised our voices, with the friends who loved us so, In the song of Alma Mater — college songs of long ago. All the friendly fellow faces, that we knew so well and long. Will smile on us through the distance, while we hear that evensong. And our lips will frame, unbidden, words that mark our feelings ' flow; Fare forever well, companions college friends of long ago. Fairer faces, too, will haunt us, when the darkness gathers near ; Now, their smiles make heaven for us! Then, as now, shall they be dear! Blessings on your gentle memory! God ' s sweet violets ever blow ' Round your feet, where ' er you wander, college loves of long ago! Then, while memory, thought, and feeling melt away into the deep. By the wind that rocks the cedars, we shall all be lulled to sleep. We shall sleep, perchance to dream, and in that dreaming, we shall know. We shall live once more the happy college life of long ago. 1 6+ PHOENIX 31J l7li 19 2 5 M k 1 £i 1 ' f i 11. JlJl 1 -as !
