an Coach Billy Driver's undefeated Frog machine did not round into form until the last quarter of last Saturday's game with the American School of Osteopathy, when in the last 12 minutes of play they turned defeat into victory with three touchdowns, the last of which did not count. The official score was 13 to 3, the Bonsolters' marker coming as the result of a field goal in the first quarter.

The game throughout was a .series of punts, fumbles, and spectacular runs, and from the T. C. U. standpoint was the most loosely played game of the season due to the fact that three men, Rowson, Spiller and Hout- chens, were cut out of the line- up, and Coach Driver had to send two backfield men, Green and Cherry, into the line and jolt up the backfield quite a bit. Jack- son, who played decidedly out of form in the first quarter by fum- bling four punts but fully re- trieved himself in the last quarter by getting loose for fifty-five yards through a broken field, was switched from quarter to halfback, and Fowler who has been playing full started the game at quarterback.

The Bonesetters got in position for McCleary to make his field goal as a result of two punts fumbled by Jackson but never again threatened the Purple ana White goal posts. Although they played a good defensive game with Peckham as the individual ■tar, the superiority of the T. C. U. machine was never in doubt. The first T. C. U. attempt at scoring came soon after the A. 8, O. field goal when Acker tried a drop-kick from the thirty-five yard line, but the Frog line failed to hold and the attempt was blocked. The remainder of the half passed with neither goal in danger. The third quarter began Green with T. G. U. going stronger, and just before the quarter was up, Houtchens, Central Hi's contri- bution to the T. C. U. all-star combination, recovered a fumble and ran it for forty-five yards, and the only reason he didn't carry it over was that he had a lame ankle and couldn't outdis- tance the Doctor. This put the ball on the five-yard line but Douglass passed the ball wild and the Osteopaths recovered it, and the quarter ended with the game still in doubt. Spiller went in at the beginning of the last quarter and the T. C. U. land- slide started. Nothing could stop them. Harris received a punt and raced it down the field for forty yards. In the next play, he step- ped it off for twenty-five more, leaving a row of mussed up doc- ton strung along behind him. Fowler passed to Harris for a twelve yard gain. The crowd was on its feet. They got their money's worth in moving picture

thrills. The old team had at last

reached its true form. Baylor's

Jonah was practicing up. Ryan

put it over, but Acker failed to

kick goal. Jackson received the kick-ofr

and scattered the Bonesetters before him while he knocked off fifty-five yards. A beautiful pass —Jackssn to Houtchens, failed. In the following play, Levy found himself in possession of a waylaid pass but failed to run with it. Then Fowler pierced the doctor's defense for 13 yards. Ryan Jackson and Fowler, bucked the line, and Ryan carried it over. Acker kicked goal.

Again just before the game was over, T. C. U. got possession of the ball on the Osteopath's 40 yard line. Harris bucked the line for fifteen yards, followed by a pass from Fowler to Jackson over the goal line just as the fin- al whistle blew. The referee ruled that Jackson was out of bounds and the touchdown didn't count.

A large crowd of osteopaths who were meeting in convention here, some of whom were A. S. O. alumni, attended the game in a body and a little friendly riv- alry sprang up between the root- ing sections. The entire student body joined in a snake dance between halves but tailed to sur- round either team to give the customary yells. The pep squad exhibited a lot of clever entertainment before the game and between the halves, including some very god tumbling stunts by Johnny Roberts. As the crowd dispersed and T. C. U. rooters went forth to tell the world at large that they had six scalps tied onto their totem pole, and that they were looking for the hairy scalp of a certain Bruin, the famous war-cry was heard above the humdrum: "Bring on the Bruin."

UNDEFEATED HORNED FROGS ON TOES FOR BATTLE WITH BAYLOR

BEARS; CONFIDENT OF VICTORY Old Man Dope Gives Baylor Victory by Virtue

of Showing with Trinity, but Reckons Not with Unconquerable Spirit.

The Center Gollege Praying Colonels, famous as the wonder team of the world, with two rep- resentatives on the mythical ail- American football team, yet rep- resenting a school of not more than 250 students, are to meet the T. C. U. eleven in a New Years' day contest at Panther Park, the athletic department has announced. The arrangements for this game, heretofore tentative, were finally completed last week and an opportunity will be given to football fans of the Southwest to see in action this pigskin combination that has stirred the whole football world and that has been discuss- ed and elaborated upon by football experts and sport writers all over the land.

The athletic authorities are to be congratulated on this triumph for the T. C. U.'s athletic reputation. A crowd is expected to attend and special trains will be run from all the towns for several hundred miles around.

Maintaining the standard set by former classes, of presenting gifts both serviceable and ornate, the class just graduated has given to the University a beautiful drinking fountain. The gift was set up during the first part of this week in the alcove of the main floor hall of the adminis- tration building, and is a delight to the eye. The installation of the gift was delayed for several months because of the fact that there was a flaw in the memorial tablet which had to be corrected.

The new fountain is a delight to the eye. The basin is of ob- long shape and of finest granite. It has two inlets with beautiful trickled fixtures. The basin is surmounted by a marble slab, on which are carved the names of the members of the class of 1920. John R. Sandidge, president of the class, is in the graduate class this session, and is teaching science in the Academy.

Dr. Henry L. South wick, president of the Boston School of Or- atory, Boston, Mass., will appear on the University stage Wednes- day evening, November 17th, in an interpretation of one of Shakespeare's works, according to J. Quincy Biggs, head of the Department of Public Speaking. He will come to T. C. U. under the auspices of the Oratorical Association.

Dr. Southwick is recognized as one of the greatest authorities, if not the greatesL, in America, ■0 Car as oratory is concerned. This is not his first visit to T. C. G. He was here last year under the same auspices., and charmed a large audience which was com- posed not only of students but of friends of oratory in the city.

Those who were fortunate to hear him last year are looking forward to his coming with a great amount of pleasureable anticipation.

CAMPAIGN FOR SUBSCRIPTIONS

Beginning early next week, the time to be announced at Tuesday's chapel period, the Skiff will launch a concerted campaign for subscriptions. The first campaign made several weeks ago, brought a ready re- sponse, but there are many students yet in the dormitories and in the city who have not sub- scribed. It is thought that this omission has been more by over- sight than by design and that those students have not had the proper opportunity to get their names on the list. It is the pur- pose of the management of the Skiff to slight no one, and for this reason, so far as possible,

Wilburn Page has been placed in charge of the coming campaign. He will appoint commit- tees, and will make other arrangements for the conduct of the campaign. Kvery student or faculty member of the school who has thus far failed to sub- scribe is urged to be ready to rectify the omission next week.

from mere boasting, the fact stands that there is not a quar- tet in the state that can outrun the Frog stars, Jackson, Fowler. Harris and Rowson. What's more, Rowson can stand up against Higginbotham of the Aggie team in the punting department any time. Jack could defend his place against any player of the Rats Watson cali- bre, and Harris looked like a regular Mahan in the Osteopath game last week. T. C. U. has a team that would give any combination in the Southwest a race for its money.

Will Hill Acker, a member of the class of 1921, was unanim- ously elected President of the Honor Council at a meeting held Wednesday afternoon. Acker ir regarded as one of the most lev- el-headed men in the University, and his integrity is unquestion- ed. He has won laurels on the football field for several seasons, playing the position of left tackle, and no less than three victories on the gridiron this season have been the direct result of his accurate kicking from mid-field. His election to the position of head of the Honor Council is considered fortunate.

The Council is now at full strength, and has the following officers: Will II. Acker, president; T. E. Dudney, president pro tem; Elsie Willis, secretary; John H. Luck, sergeant-at-arms. Thus far no cases have come before the body, which cimcum- stanee is regarded as indicative of a laudable spirit on the part students.

Y. M. AND Y. W. GIVE JOINT PROGRAM

A very acceptable innovation relieving the trying monotony of the school week, was introduced Tuesday evening in the auditor- ium. The occasion was a joint program given by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. It was a burl- esque affair, and was greatly appreciated by the assembled students.

When the program was ended, the audience removed to the recreation rooms of the Y. M. C. A., where a social hour was enjoyed and tamales were served for refreshments.

Kdwin A. Elliott, general secretary of the student Y. M. C. A., is responsible for the venture, and with his guiding hand it is expected that other such evenings will be enjoyed in the fu- ture as in the past.

Texas University beat Phillips 27 to 0, and T. C. U. only 3 to 0, but it will be remembered that several Freshmen phillips used against T. C. U. were barred from the State University contest.

Other championships that have been cinched this early in the season are that of the east by Harvard when it defeated Princeton last Saturday, and that of the Pacific Coast by Cal- ifornia when it defeated Wash- ington State. Nothing short of miracle will alter the status of either of these teams in its res- pective sections so arrangements are under way for these two teams to meet in a post season game at Pasadena, California on New Year's day, as was the precedent established last year when Harvard met and defeated the University of Oregon.

Six-year-old Margaret often played with Nellie, a neighbor's little girl. One rainy day the two were just starting across the clean kitchen floor at Mar- garet's home when the latter's mother, seeing their muddy shoes, headed them off and sent them out to play on the porch. After a moment Nellie re- marked:

"My mother don't care how much I run over the kitchen floor."

There was quite a long inter- val of silence. Then Margaret said:

V. M. AND Y. W. GIVE JOINT PROGRAM

A very acceptable innovation relieving the trying monotony of the school week, was introduced Tuesday evening in the auditor- ium. The occasion was a joint program given by the Y. W. C. A. and Y. M. C. A. It was a burl-' esque affair, and was greatly appreciated by the assembled students.

When the program was ended, the audience removed to the recreation rooms of the Y. M. C. A., where a social hour was enjoyed and tamales were served for refreshments.

Edwin A. Elliott, general secretary of the student Y. M. C. A., is responsible for the venture, and with his guiding hand it is expected that other such evenings will be enjoyed in the fu- ture as in the past.

There's one thing in favor of drinking wood alcohol. It never becomes a habit.

Other championships that have been cinched this early in the season are that of the east by Harvard when it defeated Princeton last Saturday, and that of the Pacific Coast by Cal- ifornia when it defeated Wash- ington State. Nothing short of miracle will alter the status of either of these teams in its res- pective sections so arrangements are under way for these two teams to meet in a post season game at Pasadena, California on New Year's day, as was the precedent established last year when Harvard met and defeated the University of Oregon.

Liked Her Mother.

Six-year-old Margaret often played with Nellie, a neighbor's little girl. One rainy day the two were just starting across the clean kitchen floor at Mar- garet's home when the latter's mother, seeing their muddy shoes, headed them off and sent them out to play on the porch. After a moment Nellie re- marked :

"My mother don't care how much I run over the kitchen floor."

There was quite a long inter- val of silence. Then Margaret said:

"I wish I had a nice, dirty mother like you've got."—Gal- veston News.

This Girl Not Go

Wrong She hail sonic close calls, however, as any girl would who braved the big city of New York, with only a lot of ambi- tion and no money or friends.

That's the dilemma Penelope Pcnn faces in this photoplay from the vivid, human, appeal- ing comedy that ran a whole year on Broadway.

And a chorus girl, too! She was different. When she got blue, she would go to Central Park and dance the courage right back in her heart.

She was different! And the picture is different!

Recent games show con- siderable tightening of the race for the Southwestern conference championship, with State, A. & M., and the Rice Owls remain- ing undefeated, the 8. M. U. Mustangs suffering defeat at. the hands of the Arkansas Ra- zorbacks, already eliminated by the Horned Frogs. The conference now stands thus:

Won Lost Pet. Texas A. & M. -_2 State University 1 Rice Institute 1 Arkansas U. 1 Baylor U. 1 Phillips U. 0 S. M. U. 0 Okla. A. & M 0

The Texas Aggies hold the lead, having defeated S. M. U. and the Phillips University ag- gregation. However, old Pro- fessor Dope says that the Long- horns have a shade on the Ag- gies and that the championship is between tham and the Owls, who have a strong team, having defeated the Baylor Bears 28-0. State has won its only confei- ence game, that with the Okla- homa Aggies. Next in line '3 Arkansas, with one victory reg- istered over S. M.'U. Baylor comes next, having played two conference games, winning over the Oklahoma farmers, who, with S. M. U. Mustangs, foot the list.

Y. W. C. A.

On Thursday evening the Y. W. C. A. had the pleasure of having Mr. Thornton at the regular meeting to give the girls a short talk. Preceding his ad- dress, Marylee Pinkerton sang a solo. Mr. Thornton spoke on the deplorable condition of the poor- er class of people and of the op-

portunity there is to be of service in giving aid to them. Mr. Thornton has had experience in KJCUU welfare work, which made his talk doubly impressive.

All the girls felt benefited, and resolved to be of greater service to those who need it.

SPORT DOPE. History in the Big Ten confer-

ence is repeating itself. The race

for the flag of this conference, which it is deemed by some plays

the fastest football in the country, has narrowed down to Coach Zuppke's lllini and the Ohio State Hawkeyes, the former 101!) champs and the latter last season's runners-up. As the race now stands the Hawkeyes ahe a slight favorite.
