Homecoming DampBut Definite Success

Lynx Submerge I VptpranrWillHendrix 19-0

Despite the threatening skieson Homecoming Day, convertiblesand Jolly cabs rolled throughMemphis, with blaring horns andred and black streamers in a tra-ditional homecoming parade. QueenJane Ogden, flanked by PrincessesSara Fuller and Betty Carlisle,riding high on the back of a cream-colored convertible, struck quite apretty picture.

Faithful students and alumsfiled (or waded) into Crump Sta-dium for the 2:00 p.m. kick-offaainst Hendrix College. By game-time it was evident that a swim-ming meet would have-been moreappropriate than a football game.Nevertheless, the driving LynxCats ignored the slushy field anda stubborn defensive line, to car-ry the pigskin home with a 19-0victory over the Warriors fromacross the river.

Following the game, all fratern-ities and sororities entertain-ed with open houses. The affairsturned out to be collections offriendly little groups who wrungthe rain and mud out of anyonewho happened to drop in.

At7:00 the Alumni Banquetwas held in the Southwestern Din-ing Hall. Special entertainmentwas offered by Virgil Bryant. BillHatchett acted as master of cere-monies.

Surprisingly enough, even thefootball team and managers haddivested themselves of all incum-bent mud and slush by eighto'clock. The Homecoming Dancewas indeed a fine one, staged inthe balloon-draped field house.Classified officially as semi-for-ml, the affair turned out to bea veritable fashion show, with"the new look" leading by severaldrools. That stag line would havechoked any cavern-throated horse.I personally am in favor of thefemales wearing their formals toclass.

During the dance the decor-ation winners were announced,with Sigma Nu and Kappa Deltataking first place, and ATO andChi Omega receiving honorablemention.

Everyone acclaimed the day,regardless of the weather, as oneof the outstanding of the year;even Jim Bartlett, who lost thefreshman rat race, voiced no com-plaints.

The Southwestern football teambroke into the win column in a bigway when they rolled over Hen-drix College 19-0 in the Home-coming Game. Slimy mud anddriving rain proved to be greathandicaps to both teams, but theLynx seemed to thrive on the ad-verse conditions as they poundedover three touchdowns and an ex-tra point.

Southwestern began its firstdrive for a score early In the firstquarter. Sam Blair started the bllrolling by slipping through theWarrior line, spinning away froma line-backer, and yI g 37yards to'the Hendrix SI yard

March Nov. 11Southwestern Band, Vets,To Participate in ParadeRoom 101, Science Building, be-

came the area of a hotly contesteddebate as the veterans met re-cently. Purpose of the discussionswas the forthcoming ArmisticeDay parade, and the invitationby the American Legion to march.

Dr. Diehl presented the ques-tion to the body and then openedthe subject to discussion, of whichthere was much, both pro and con.All of the veterans were askedto feel free to say anything theywished about the matter. The sub-ject was fully discussed all theway from the scholastic to thepolitical viewpoints, and specialemphasis was placed on the school'sspirit.

Upon voting, the group favoringparticipation i the parade car-ried the majority.

Since it was at that time un-derstood that the veteran's or-ganization at Memphis State Col-.lege had definitely decided not to

lofficially participate in the pa-rade, the following resolution wasadopted and forwarded both tothem and to the American Leg-ion:

"The Veteran's Organization ofSouthwestern at Memphis goes onrecord as approving and iapport-ing the spirit of the Victory Daycelebration fostered by the Ameri-can Legion on Tuesday, November11, 1947; that, since the veteranshave the full permission and ap-proval of the administration toparticipate in the parade, they areencouraged to do so; and, sinceMemphis State College does nothave a marching band, that theveterans of Memphis State Col-lege be invited to cooperate withthe veterans of Southwestern andmarch with them in one groupled by the Southwestern band."

The veteran's organization 'atMemphis:State, however, has sincedecided to march officially andseparately with their own band.

The Southwestern Administra-tion, although unable to grant aschool holiday, announces that allveterans actually participating 4nthe parade will be excused fromclasses on Armistice Day. A fair-ly large turnout of veterans, bothstudents and faculty members, isexpected. Arrangements have beenmade for busses to be at South-western at about 9:30 AM. toprovide for transportation uptownof the band and other marchers.'

Dr. Price has had experienceboth as a teacher and as an ad-ministrator. He said that the maindifference between these two du-ties is that the teacher deals withideas-abstract things for the mostpart, whereas tho administratordeals with people, concrete thingswith emotions. People can talkback, whereas ideas cannot.

When asked why Le Moyne Fac-ulty has the reputation of havinghigh morale, Dr. Priceasked thathis answer be taken with reser-vation. He feels that the high mo-rale is due to the fact that eachperson is competent in ii fipldand is expected to know how todo his job best.

The Homecoming DanceThe semi-formal dance on Homecoming Day was one of

the best that has ever been held on the Southwestern Camp-us.

The alumni and the student body are to be complimentedfor the packed attendance and individual conduct, and onthe manner in which the Panhellenic rule concerning cor-sages was obeyed almost to the letter; the music was wellchosen and well played; the chaperons carried out an almostthankless task to perfection; and recognition should be givento Professor Diehi and his assistants for a difficult job ofdecoration excellently done.

Organizations giving dances in the future can well usethat Homecoming Dance as a perfect model. We would likea lot more of the same.

Homecoming or Homegoing?Southwestern, due to a precise and well-organized schol-

astic schedule, cannot often grant to its students a specialholiday. When the college does see fit to do so, the studentsshould realize the reason for which the holiday is given, andshow some measure of true appreciation.

Our administration, acting without precedent, suspendedall classes on November 1st solely for the purpose of givingus the opportunity to back the Homecoming Day activitiesonq hundred per cent. Such a holiday has not been ordinarilygiven in the past. Such a holiday will probably never be granit-ed again, because an unbelievably large part of the tudtbody showed its gratitude by SCURRYING FOR HOMEJUST AS FAST AS ITCOULD SCRAMBLE.

We would like to request those home-goers to understandthe mistake they made. We would further like to request ajustifiably disappointed administration to give us- a chanceto do better next year.

On the next playJack Doyle took a lateral fromGeorge Bland and flipped a for-ward pass to Eldon Roark on thevisitors' goal line. Two Warriorswere waiting to intercept the ball,but Roark, making one of thebest pass-catches witnessed atCrump Station this season, leap-ed high into the air and stolethe ball from them with one out-stretched hand. Glenn Swingle fol-lowed up the touchdown with anextra point from placement.

The Lynx garnered their nextsix points on the longest run madeby a Lynxman this year. GlennSwingle, playing in the safdtyposition, picked up a Hendrix punton his own fifteen yard line andbehind beautiful blocking raced86 yards for the score. His nextattempt,from placement was toolow,' sothe scoreboard read 13-0.

As the fourth period began,Stotts, who did all of Hendrix'spunting that afternoon, had'oneof his kicks partially blocked.Jack Doyle gathered the ball inon the Arkansans' 25 yard lineand crossed the goal-line for thenineteenth point. Swingle's tryfrom placement was blocked.

The most outstanding feature ofthe contest, however, was the im-penetrable defense which theSouthwestern team displayed.
