About twenty men responded to Coach Richardsons' first call for bas- ket ball practice last Tuesday even- ing. The squad has been growing ev- ery evening since and has now grown to between 25 and 30. The time has been spent in drilling and practicing on the fundamentals of the game, and as yet no scrimmage has been indulged in. The manner :in which the boys have been working is very gratifying and unless the writer is badly fooled S .W. B. C. is due for one of-its greatest years in the cage sport. Coach Richardson knows his stuHs 'about handling a team and has been working the squad hard in an -ef- fort to get a line on who the probable candidates will be. He is going to cut the first squad to ten men in just a few days and Assistant Coach Ben Hammontree will take charge of the second squad. . Alright Gang, Get In There and Tight! Hold high the standard of S. W. B. C. Athletics, and at the end of the season let's hope and pray that many scalps will be hanging from the belts of the Bearcat Basketeers. - -0 . EXPRESSION CLASS PICNIC. Who says the Expression class doesn't have fun? Last' Saturday at 3 o'clock a truck full of Expression students with their teacher. Miss Wengert, started for Gunmen's Bluff at Burns. F ' All of us like unusual things. so we Were happilv surprised when it began to rain. After the students climbed the bluff. saw the spring and the cave, thev waited under the ledges of the great rocks of the bluff for the rain to cease. Then all went back to the truck and were taken to the little vil- lF'ie of Burns. The supper. which was cooked in front of the blacksmith shop on a hand-made stove, consisted of bacon. Saas, pickles, cocoa.. cinnamon rolls and apples. While the supper was b9lll9.' prepared, Mr. Collins 'entertain- Efl the crowd with a humorous selec- ion.

Last Sunday night the sleep of the ladies in Hoffman Hall was rather restless. At 9:30 p. m. a meeting of the Ku Klux Klan was held in the hall of the second story and, this being Missouri instead of Oklahoma, a pub- lic parade was held in the parlor as well as on the third flood. It might beadded here that the procession was not well received in the latter place and therefore was discontinued after only a limited demonstration. The un- dismayed Ku Kluxers then. dispens- ing, with the fiery cross , held a pen meeting at the landing on the second floor. A . ' Following this the lights mysteri- ously vvinked out and chaos re'gned for about the space of ten minutes, during which time fiashlihgts could be seen all about the building held .by teacher or matron with inquiring mind. The southun lady took the lead in the recovery and showed her- self to be a second Deborah. The Klansmen vanished during the con- fession. ...- -- ..---n---- --f-' Day by day in every wav shorthand gets harder and harder.-Contributed.

I Jimmie Woodard, Local Produce Dealer, Held as Would-be Robber. -li About 5 minutes 'till 1 p. yester- day an attempt was made to rob the First National Bank. Vernon Woodruff, who is employed as bookkeeper at the bank, was the only one in the bank at the time. I He was working toward the rear end of the bank when a peculiar noise at- tracted his attention. He looked around but seeing nothing resumed work on his books, only to be attract- ed again by the same peculiar noise. This time he saw the top of a cap go by the T eller's window. 'In an instant the thought that the bank was being held up, flashed through his mind, and he quietly tiptoed to the front endfof the office and yelled at the top of his voice. At the same instant the robber sprang up from the back end of the building fwhere he had crawledj and covered Woodruff with a gun. tHe commanded Vernon to get into the vault. However, he was not forced to make a hurried entrance. and while going to the rear' of the building sized the man up so as to. be able to recognize him, if the chance ever again presented itself. Here was where the turning point came, for the would-be robber could not get the vault door locked. While in attempting to lock the vault door he was discovered by Frank Adams who had been attracted by Woodruff's gg-realm, and who immediately notified the other two banks. and all whoinuhe could see. that the bank was be1nQ robbed. He returned just in time to see the man leaving the bank. and re- cognized him to be .Timnoie Woodard. The sheriff and other officials were notified and posses started in all direc- tions in search for him. The sheriff and party found him at his home. he having just arrived there ahead of the poilsgl was immedately brought book Ito the bank. and recognized as the oodruff and Adams He Ibandit bv W f - I , 'is being held in the Polk county Jail I pending further hearing.

We have already received a chal-. lenge from a Senior College challeng- ing us to debate them sometime in the not distant future. A good debating team is as big an asset to a school as can be found. Southwest Baptist College HAS the material for a dandy team. ' Are we I going to pass up this opportunity orl fr not . l Remember what we did last year to a Senior College along that line, don't i you? What has beendone once, can! usually be done again. 'Let's accept that challenge and match our wits with the other fellow's. We do not need to worry about the outcome as long as we have everyth'ng to gain and nothing to lose on a proposition.: like that. l ' I -----..ii....0...-....... ..,. , 1 i MAUPIN HIKE. l -- I g It is not all hard work in college.i Pleasure comes in for its share. I am i sure that this is the sentiment of thej Maupin Literary Society. Thursday! afternoon instead of having the usual l Literary Soceity program, the Mau- pins hiked to a beautiful rural spot about one mile from town. As soon' they had arrived at their destina- tion, a Ere was built, skillets were brought forth, and a hamburger fry was soon in progress. It would bel difficult to say which was enjoyed thel better, the hike itself or'the e-ats. l After a very pleasurable hour, thel Maupins returned to their variousi homes with the conviction that, after all, Mother Nature affords the best society hall.

I I The Mafhetropean Literary Society is one of the outstanding societies of the school. Every member in the so- ciety is working for the good of the school as well as for the good of their society. One of the most interesting events that has taken place this year was the informal banquet given bv the Mathies for the Philos and the faculty Monday evening.. October 8. 'Every- one who was not there missed the time of their lives. You should have been .there to join- in the games that were played' on the campus, and to see Mr. Smith run. Miss Lillian Browngave a very entertaining stunt, and Miss Lydia Farris- performed on the piano with great skill.
