§PEAKI Ms,
HOPPESS POSTPONES SMEAR SMU PEP MEET
— r
WELL, you six readers sit up and
take a little notice. 1 Ins is the
week of the big push, and we mean
the Bruin-Mustang clash out on Car-
roll Field next Saturday afternoon.
In this connection we will hasten to
say that there are some Baylor stu¬
dents who have dropped right back
into the rut from which we all came
last Tuesday night— just one week ago.
Also it is sad to relate that our chief
yell leader either had other engage¬
ments or was too considerate one, for
the regular pep meeting has been post¬
poned for the Cotton Palace. If there
was ever a poor time to postpone a
pep meeting, no matter what the rea¬
son, this is it.
* • •
||OW ANY good coach will be rather
quick to tell you that after the
men have learned the fundamen¬
tals, ability is twenty-five per cent of
the game, and the mental attitude is
seventy-five. According to that, there
are some students on this campus that
are not doing their part in making that
mental attitude. We are so sick and
tired of hearing ‘ifs/ ‘huts’, and 'I
don’t knows’ that we have caught a
miserable cold over it. Now you mark
this: as long as you go about this
campus with that attitude, Baylor can
never Jwin anything. What you’ve got
to do is set your mind on victory, look
for it, expect it, and you'll come a
thousand times closer to realizing vic¬
tory than you ever will any other way.
We don’t care how many difficulties
Baylor has to labor under, she will be
successful in just so far as you drop
that plagued pessimistic attitude. Now
you make up your mind today that
Baylor is going to win next Saturday,
and you do your part in making that
possible.
* * *
|E ARE strongly in favor of a pep
meeting Friday night, as scheduled
(provided something doesn’t come
. up to postpone it), and then have an¬
other one just one hour before the
game is scheduled to start. Perhaps
somebody with authority will act on
this, but if not, then Baylor’s students
should come together in the chapel
building at 1 :30 Saturday by mutual
agreement. Right here and now the
* Daily Lariat Staff pledges itself to
; such a program, and we hope to meet
every other Baylor student right there
for a short session — then file out to
j-the Carroll Field stands and watch
gthe Bears do their stuff. Ladies and
gentlemen, those Bruins are capable
of putting out a victory next Saturday
afternoon. With you behind them in
the proper attitude, then they will do
it. And we don’t think a great deal
of professors that pile up the work
on the last few days of this week
either. Now drop that mask, and be
optimistic.
Remember: “They Shall Not Pass.”

ees last spring.

Dr. Brooks Reads Account of
His Experience While Ill;
Is Greeted By Students
Dr. S. P. Brooks was greeted heart¬
ily by the student body in chapel this
morning when he spoke to the stu¬
dents for the first time since his return
from abroad the past sumflier. Dr.
Brooks has been confined in the Bap¬
tist Sanitarium for several weeks fol¬
lowing a rather severe operation.
The student body rose from their
seats when President Brooks appeared
on the rostrum and the hall resounded
with united applause.
Dr. Brooks read to the student body
an account of his experiences in the
hospital and on the operating table.
This operation raised him to the first
degree of the Amalgamated. Accord¬
ing to Dr. Brooks a stay in a hospital
is not by far the most elevating and
pleasing of experienses to be had.

Although the plate glass front of
the Carroll Field press box was not
completed last Saturday, the box was
used by the news scribes at the Trinity
game and they will see the Baylor-
S. M. U. tilt from a completed box
this Saturday. Built in tables have
been completed and chairs installed in
the box.
Many improvements are being com¬
pleted on the gridiron in preparation
for the Baylor-S. M. U. classic which
will he played next Saturday. A ticket
office is being constructed on the
south side of the field just outside the
fence. All tickets which have not been
sold up until the day of the game will
be put on sale from this place.
Other Improvements
Four entrances are provided to the
field. Three of these are on the west
side and the other is at the corner of
the Fifth Street side of the field. Ar-
rangments have been made that will
cause the fans who crowd around the
entrances to get inside the gates, enter
in single file. Next Saturday twenty-
seven box seats will be placed along
the track on the west side of the
stadium to accommodate the fans who
f
desire a closer view of the game.
Tickets are now on sale in the Busi¬
ness Manager’s office.
The salterio, an instrument
handed down from the time of
King David, is one of the featur¬
ed musical instruments to be used
in Torreblanca’s Tipica Orches¬
tra of Mexico in its appearance
here on October 16 at Waco Hall,
under the auspices of Baylor
Artist Course.
While the salterio is hundreds
dreds of years old there have been
but few changes made in its construc¬
tion since it was used to furnish music
for the beautiful songs of the poet-
king of Israel.
Have Volume And Quality
Music is for most people an emo¬
tional experience, says a noted critic,
and an American audience hearing for
the first time the Tipica orchestra of
Mexico is amazed at the volume and
quality of sounds which are obtained
from the several queer instruments
used by the orchestra.
The salterio, the bajo harmonica,
the bandolones and the bajo sexto are
iinstruments which are almost totally
unknown in this country, and are
played by only a few experts. The
salterio is particularly isolated as far
as being a widely-played instrument,
even in Mexico. It has the qualities
of a mandolin three or four times
magnified. The other instruments
mentioned in the first of this paragraph
are almost as rare as the salterio.
Supplementing these instruments are
the usual number of violins, 'cello's,
bass viols and other stringed instru¬
ments to be found in the ordinary
orchestra.
Blanket Tax; No Tickets
Given After 3:30 Thurs.
Student tickets for the Baylor-S. M.
U. game on Carroll Field Saturday

ginning Wednesday at 8:00 o’clock in
the Cashier's office, according to Geo.
H. Belew, business manager.
The tickets * will be given in ex¬
change for blanket tax tickets, and
all students must make the change in
order to get into the game. At 3:30
Thursday afternoon, the doors of the
cashier’s office will close and no more
tickets will be given out. Students
who have not secured their tickets by
that time will have to pay $3.00 to see
the Bears and Mustangs clash.
PRIZES FOR NEWS ITEM
WANT A SHORT CUT TO
EDUCATION? TRY THIS
Fortune Awaits Man Who
First Capitalizes This Plan
of Communication a
la poetry
It will only be a short time before'
college students avail themselves of
the great opportunities of this me¬
chanical age. according to an eminent
professor of sociology. They will les¬
sen the burden of difficult lessons and
unpleasant situations entirely by means
of a mechanical process.
The stationer in the near future will
offer a novel solution to the problems
of the college student. He will print
cards for the benefit of those who do
not express themselves with faculty,
and so much variety will be included
in his stock that the student and
teacher as well will find exactly the
right card for every conceivable oc¬
casion.
For the bashful boy who wishes to
the campus belle but lacks the ability
to say so, this might he in order.
Say, Baby, what about a date?
I’ll drop around at ten to eight.
If this suggestion is a go,
I wish you'd kindly let me know.
The poor harrassed dean would wel¬
come this means of successfully in¬
forming a student that his presence
was no longer desired at school.
Now in a dean’s capacity.
I always act effectively.
So from this school and round about
Thou art sincerely hooted out.
A professor would be profoundly af¬
fected to receive the following com¬
munication from one of his students:
You won't object to this I trust
But send this card today I must.
For your course being what it is
If I don’t cut I'll flunk your quizz.
And so it goes and there is a for¬
tune for the man who first capitalizes
on this idea.
La Prensa, New York Paper,
Sponsors Contest For
Classes and Depts. of Span.
La Prensa, the Spanish Daily news¬
paper of New York, is at present spon¬
soring a contest, the’ prizes for which

crowned tonight. The second pep
meeting of the week will be held Fri¬
