DEGRADATION A little frosh I was last year When I came up to school, I thought I'd make an Engineer, And learn to use the rule. The first semester soon rolled by, And then I got my grades; The sight of them just made me sigh, And I improvement made. The next semester passed away Without a wail or tear, And I was glad that I could say I'd be an Engineer. But now the tide has turned again; My mind is all but clear. I cannot join the shamrock men; I'd soon be on my bier. But I will move across the quad; Oi, Oi,-no calc is near, To start anew and ever trod- A Jewish Engineer.

Already the season is more than half completed and the Bengal record is unblemish- ed bly defeat and tells of only one tie game, that fought under adverse conditions with a, team which has later proved its worth by an overwhelming victory over one of the strong teams of the Big Ten conference. Coach Gwinn Henry, ably assisted by Jack Crangle and Harry Lansing, rounded the squad into shape early in the fall and after three weeks of stren- uous practice took a long trip to New Orleans where they played a 6 to 6 tie with Tulane University, the mighty "Green Wave" of the South. Playingon a field where the temperature reached close to 95 degrees, the Missourians were exhausted rapidly; pitting their skill against the speed and power o'f a strong group of Tulane ball-carriers it took nearly all of the thirty players who made the trip to hold off the Southerners. It was just a week later that the Tigers returned home to stop the invasion of a great horde of red- sweatered stars from the north, namely, the Ne- braska Cornhuskers who had scored a decisive vic- tory over "Red" Grange and company at Illinois the previous Saturday. Led by Capt. Ed Weir, All- American tackle, the host of Husker stars were given a big edge over the Missourians and when a frenzied Tiger team out-fought and out-scored the fa,med Nebraskans on Rollins Field that afternoon it struck the signal for a drive for another Valley title for the "Outlaw" school. Ed Weir didn't have a chance before the furious onslaught of the Tiger line and the 9 to 6 score tells only a small part of the first victory which Missouri had scored over the Huskers in more than a quarter of a cen- tury. Rolla School of Mines fell before the Bengal steam roller by 32 points a week later and then the Tigers took what nearly proved to be a, fatal trip to Manhattan, but which, thanks to the reliable toe of Capt. Sammy Whiteman, was converted into a three point victory. On a mud soaked field the Wildcat and Tiger mixed, both sides doing some high class .clawing and biting. Twice the Aggies stopped Missouri advances just out of reach of a touchdown, and on the second occasion Whiteman slammed the ball over the bar 'for the only score of the contest. A last minute Aggie threat proved ex- citing but useless against the Missouri defense. Entering the next Valley game the Tigers faced the strongest scoring power in the conference in Ames, the Iowa Cyclones. Much to the surprise of the Iowans the Bengals broke loose with a little hurricane all their own in the opening three min- utes of play and before the Ames team had ever gained possession of the leather the score was Mis- souri 6; Ames 0. The Cyclones overtook the lead but an enraged Tiger pounded the invader's line to pieces in the last half and took the battle by a. 23 10 THE OUTLAW for HOMECOMING to 8 score. Along with the power of the Missouri attack, the feature of the game was the pass which Bacchus, Tiger end, flung half the length of the field into the waiting arms of Teddy O'Sullivan on the Ames goal line. A successful start goes a long way towards a vic- torious finish but the obstacles which loom in the path of the Missouri team during the rest of the sa,son make the championship road a hard and rough one to travel. Oklahoma and Kansas are two schools which must always be feared by Tiger teams, no matter what the record of the past may be. At Kansas the continued defeats of the Jayhawker team have made the school desperate for a chance to topple the Missouri team from the Valley pin- nacle. Nothing else matters now but the Valley Classic, when all of the humiliation and suffering of the year can be erased in a single day by a, victory over the beast from the Missouri jungles. Missouri meets the Oklahoma Sooners before a Homecoming crowd here the 14th, the Prairie team- strongly confident by victories over such confer- ence leaders as Drake in the Valley, and Southern Methodist University in the South. It means that 1926 TIGERS the Indian tomahawk will be hard to stop on Rollins Field in that tussle. In Captain Sammy Whiteman Missouri has one of the finest and most courageous leaders in the coun- try. Bullet like passes, powerful drives, clever dodging and twisting, and above all an unbeatable spirit and love of team play mark the work of the Tiger captain. Supporting him in the backfield are the veterans Jackson, Stuber, Moulder, O'Sullivan, Casteel, and Thomas, all of whom have played in true championship style this faill. Clark, Grantello, Flamank and others have been new men to flash into the Missouri spotlight this fall as ball-luggers. The strongest point o'f the squad is the work of the Missouri line men, Bacchus, Coglizer, Linden- meyer; Stafford, .Walker, Richerson, and Smith forming a great defensive line. Ferguson, Stude- baker, Milligan, Tarr, Hicks, Nichols, Miller and Morgan are others who have made up the Tiger line in various games and with a host of other re- serve material give two strong defensive teams. Those men are not the only good football players who have been developed this year, as the thirty men who make up the squad are all of real varsity calibre. THE OUTLAW for HOMECOMING 11 WORDS OF WELCOME The 1925 Missouri team is not only one of the best teams that Missouri has ever developed but is also one of the most interesting. The team is made up of smart, alert, determined, football players. They have remarkable institutional and team spirit and are playing the game in a way that is a credit to the University, coaches and themselves. We are all delighted to welcome back the Alumni and friends of the institution for the Oklahoma game Saturday and we believe they will see a splen- did football game as well as a splendid exhibition of Tiger spirit and that, win or lose, they will see a Missouri team that they can be proud of. Home- coming is in many ways our most important day of the year. We hope that this Homecoming will be the best that we have ever had. -C. L. BREWER. WELCOME ALUMNI Welcome, many times welcome to the alumni, for- mer students and friends of the University to this, our annual Homecoming. What could be finer than to have these loyal and liberal sons and daughters of Old Missouri to return to Alma Mater at this Thanksgiving season to express their love and de- votion to the old school and to pledge anew their allegiance? We are all proud of the staunch sup- port that the alumni are giving their Alma Mater. Bob Hill, Alumni Recorder, Chairman, Homecoming Committee. The R. O. T. C. of the University, and the officers and enlisted men of the Regular Army on duty therewith extend a warm welcome to the home- coming Alumni. To many of the older graduates who took the military instruction while here the R. O. T. C. is a new phase of this work which was instituted under the National Defense Act of 1916 and 1920, for the primary purpose of giving the able bodied male students some training to fit them to instruct and lead men in defense of their coun- try in case of another emergency. The R. O. T. C. students are worthily living up to the fine traditions bequeathed to them by the alumni land have kept the University of Missouri on the Distinguished List every year the units have been in existence. The true Tiger spirit permeates the entire R. O. T. C. and the corps bears true faith and allegiance to all the traditions of loyalty and service to God, Country, and University as handed down to it by the Alumni. M. C. KERTH, Col. Inf. (DOL.) P. M.

When I started off to college To make my 'fortune, And grab a heap of knowledge, I had a lot of ambition And a sinful bunch of plans. But I was too speculatin' And it got me down. I met this glorious damsel With a wealth of all That God could give her, And a lot of things besides. She got all my allowance, And a mortgage on the farm. Now don't get me wrong, Chauncy, There wasn't any harm. I lived for her alone. But I was rather foolish, And she got the family home. Boy, but she was a fleecer She picked me, Oh so clean, And all so very nice, With her jumping, 'fading dice. I guess I should be thankful That I am w;ell and living. But let me tell you Chauncy, It's hell and application That keeps you in college. Shun that damsel Luck. THE RUN EXPERT Eugene McNalley knew runners. Men came from all over the world to interview him, as he was un- questionably an expert on the subject. He knew the game from A to Z. Which were the fastest? How could you develop a runner?

McNalley was never seen taking any kind o'f exercise; from day to day he worked twelve to fifteen hours in his office. McNalley was a silk stocking expert. Historically Speaking.

RAIN There was a, moaning in the wind last night; There wia,s a crashing as the thunder broke; Down in a torrent poured the naked rain; Struck by the lightning fell a nearby oak; There was a longing in my heart last night, As in the dark I splashed my ankles through; Stumbling along, I thought of you, my dear, Wishing that you were here to get soaked, too.

After the other passengers have gotten off, tell the driver to stop at every corner, so as to run up the taxi bill. ''his shows you arc a g(wod sport. If you cannot get a: room, rent yourself a smooth flkoor for the night. Count off all your professors who you think are no longer here. Ask if they are still at Missouri. This will cheer the students, who will be pleased to learn that profs are not immortal. If you are fond of an occasional swig, bring your own firewater. The stuff the bootleggers peddle here is dangerous.. (We've tried it.) See the State Historian so that you may lrush up on the Tiger yells of your day. To show that you have remembered them all these years will mark you as intensely patriotic. Wear old clothes if possible, as these will be least damaged by the many pins and badges you will have to wear. Leave your opera glasses at home. All charms of the local co-eds can be easily seen without 'em. When you eat in restaurants, order a cup of coffee, and finish your meal with provisions you brought from home. This will stamp you as a man of great foresight; it mnay also save you a bad case of in- digestion. "Hip, hip, hipper, hoo-ray" is the proper cheer to give when you watch the Homecoming Parade on Broadway in the morning. Bring a goodly supply of hats to the football game, so that you may toss one skyward every time someone makes a touchdown. Before leaving town, turn all your pockets inside out, to be sure that you have left all your filthy lucre in Columbia. Etiquette demands this, so that you may he able to tell the folks back home about howi much money you spent. If someone iasks you to come to Homecoming next year, say, "Sure, old top. By the way, will you lend me a couple of bucks, to pay my train fare home?" Wet Benny says that a baker is the only guy who can get a raise for loafing.

The fast and crafty Mynx team trotted onto the field and during the short practice Coach Bess Pitty, who has been in constant touch with the players, stated: "My team is in the best of condition and no men can get away from our tackles." Shortly afterward Coach Bert Tickle of the Faculty entered at the head of his legions and fired back: "You can't tell the faculty anything." University Stadium- 11:59:59-A whistle and Referee Henry Henri had called the captains to the center of the field for the toss. As usual the Faculty won and elected to defend the North Pole. University Stadium-12:00 m.-The kickoff and Running story: Rompson received Helwood's boot on the 27 yard line and after going a few steps stopped to powder her nose. "Deanie," as the co-ed center is known, swum through the line with Harris in tow 'for 8 yards. On this play Alee was out on account of a misplaced eyebrow and Frances Rub- hard was substituted at full. Harris tried the end again but a penalty of 16 yards was given the Bulls for hugging. Here the Faculty held their position and the ball went over on downs. Helmsman shot a pass to Bedlam and Davyes was off in hot pursuit before even seeing who the man was. Bedlam was tapped on the 19 yard line. First down and 10 to flunk for the Faculty. Giddap-ye called time out for fear of ruining her complexion. The co-eds obstinately held their ground and the quarter ended with no scores. Using the hop-skip-and-jump shift the Mynx, with the beautiful assistance of Drewer carried the ball to midfield. When asked to stop the Bull rushes Coxwain answered "Sure I'll do it." Wrench was evicted from the game for using a bicycle to make his tackles with, Jonas Miles substituting. The co-eds continued their march with Jerkem in on everything as is her style. On the 35 yard line, however, they were forced to try a kick which stuck to Soapy's hands as he zig-zagged down the field. Harris refused to tackle him for she had not been properly introduced before the game started. Soapy had a clear field but turned around when two yards from the goal to assist Gently who had tripped in her mad pursuit. Score at the hal'f '0 all. The teams returned to the field greatly refreshed by the tea served during the half. The Bulls re- ceived and were unable to advance, the Co-eds didn't get much encouragement, but continued to hammer away without apprecikible gain. Coach Pitty called in Rubhard and cautioned her about throwing her arms around the men. She said that on the next of- fense Rubhard would be removed from the game as the coach never did trust men. At last the fatal moment came, in mid-field the Mynx quarter, Drewer, shot a succession of passes to Jerkem and Davyes for healthy gains. With his goal in danger Packard managed to pull one down, and with the speed of his namesake, sped down the field but Warnem, who had substituted for Diameter, went after him. Swiftly the crafty Mynx closed up on the runner, she had caught him, but disdaining ai tackle started talking. Slowly the pair proceeded toward the distant goal. Under the crossbar they stopped and dropping the hog-skin between them sat down on the line to talk it over. Then the final whistle blew. The referee is still trying to figure if it is a touchdown for the Bulls or a touchback for the Mynxs. The lineup: Mynxs Position Bulls Jerkam, G .........................L. E ....-.Bedlam, H. R. H.

A lowi voice breaks the silence, "Oh! Please. Not so tight." A second voice, somewhat lower, and a bit pleading, "But why, darling?" The fig- ures separate a moment, then melt together. Again the voice, "Oh, must you hold so tight?" Then the second voice, louder, "Say, woman. How do you expect to ever learn to hold a putter, if you won't let me show you how to grab it? Good night!"

II You've laughed and joked with other boys At the way you've strung them along, Never considering the pain you've caused, Nor thinking you've lone any wrong. III But wait! Some time you'll really'love, And then you'll begin to pay, For the hearts you've broken will give you no rest, In your work, your dreams, your play. IV You'll see their faces as you talked to them, You'll see the look in their eyes, When you spoke of love and other things; God! But you'll hate those lies. V For the day you find yourself in love With al girl so wondrous fair, You'll think of the hearts you've trifled with, And you'll begin to doubt she's square. VI That day will aill come back to you, And the question you'll ask will be: I've fooled and played with many girls- Do you guess she's playing with me?" VII When you kiss the lips of the girl you love, As you leave her at her door. You'll wonder, in spite of all you can do, If she's been kissed that way before. VIII For the things she does through innocence Will set your heart to doubt, And the minutes you spend away from her Will tear your heartstrings out. IX You'll never think she's doing right, Though she tries-and does her best; You'll be jea'lous of every man you see with her, And think she's like the rest. X You'll think of the many girls you've kissed, And the reason that this is true: "The things that I do to another man's girl, Another man to my girl can do."

WHY GIRLS LEAVE HOME Sally was a good girl down home in Punkin Cor- ner. She came from a home where there were "God Bless Our Home" and "Papa Love Mama" mottos on the walls. Naturally, a girl raised in such an environment could not be expected to recognize the Devil when he appeared in the guise of a Travel- ing Salesman 'from Kansas City. It was the night before Christmas-Christmas Eve to be exact-when he came to that small town of Sally's. As unmarried men who are single and hungry go to restaurants to eat and to chide the poor working girls; so he crossed the street to Punkin Corner's eating emporium. Sally, demure little girl that she was, came up to wait on him. He glanced over her with the eye of a connoisseur, noting the rustic beauty of her figure. He was in- terested and made her promise to allow him to come out that evening. "But papa and mama won't be home," she said. "So much the better," he growled. So it came to pass that at eight he was there. Sally was a-flutter. Her dream had been realized. A man from the city had come to see her. She met him at the door. He whispered a few im- passioned words in her ear. She repulsed him, but devil that he was, he would not be denied. He pressed closer following up his slight advantage. "Come," he said, "come to the city with me. Life will be pleasant and I will pay you well." "Wait," she said and, dashing up the stairs, she grabbed her small bag. In a twinkling she was down. At the station the old grey-haired agent sadly shook his locks as he slaw them go. The train whistle blew and she was gone. Gone to get a job as model in Humpeldinck's department store in the big city. HOMECOMING The old grads are coming, the old grads are coming; Hurray, hurray!

Which Grads from Mizzou don't forget very soon; With strumming and drumming the old grads are coming; Hurray, hurray! THE OUTLAW for HOMECOMING AS YOU LIKE IT By. B. B. B. Dear Girls from Stephens: The Outlaw staff is very sorry that some of you were offended by a verse ,we published in the "High Life" number. The verse wlas meant to be a joke and we hoped that it would be taken in that light. The staff wants every student in Columbia to be a reader of the Outlaw. The editor has promised me that he will give at least a page in the next number to jokes and cartoons from Stephen's College, and another page to the girls from Christian, making it possible for girls from these colleges to be on the staff. Any information in regard to this may be had by writ- ing: Big Bad Bill, c/o The Outlaw. Dear Visitors: The Outlaw staff welcomes you to Tiger land. We will all have a big time the next few days and we hope that the old grads will be pleased with the waiy w.e are throwing the line. We would welcome you to the Outlaw den but our steam heating plant is closed for repairs. In case you do want to hold a reunion in the den we might be able to put some extra "True Confessions" and "Whiz Bangs" on the shelf until the place thaws out. If "The Pail" were like the talks given to the Sunday School class which prints it we would only need one copy to keep the place warm. Yours for a happy roundup, Big Bad Bill Two half pints make a whole-especially when you have to pay for them yourself. Visitor-"They tell me you hold the course rec- ord here. You never told me you played golf." She-"Oh- they didn't mean golf." Hot water bottles aren't the only kind that keep one warm. Lipward Ho! Straight in front of Dr. Burner- Sat a pretty Senorita. (She was dumb in Espanola, But was wise in other things). Poor was her pronunciations- Alla' her verbs were deviations. (Yet in the school of syncopation She could rate an Al grade) She was always quite mistaken,- In her verbs and sentence makings. (She could set a prof a thinking 'bout more things than Espanol.) Quizzes she was always flunkin'- Lessons to her all were bunk, and (She was really good for something. tho' it wasn't Espanol). The day before examination- She ask me a foolish question. (Would I fix a declination, of the little word beso?) DID I HELP HER? Guess 20 THE OUTLAW for HOMECOMING The Outlaw Staff James H. Nash, CHAIRMAN BUSINESS MANAGER EDITOR ADVERTISING MANAGER Erie H.

McINTYRE THE OUTLAW'S GODFATHER NEW YORK CITY A GRINNING SKULL PUBLICATION It is both fitting and proper at this time of the year to make some remarks about Home- coming and the spirits of the old graduates of Missouri. Perhaps if we say a great deal about Homecoming and a very little about spirits we will please more readers. Some of the old graduates will drink to Alma Mater only with their eyes. Others will not. If you believe in long editorials in would-be-humorous magazines we suggest that you write a long editorial, address it to the Editor, and then tear it up. You will have pleased yourself and saved our three thousand readers from boredom. The Outlaw joyously thanks the following for their contributions to this issue: W. H. Jack, Frances Chinn, Matilda Janes, Ann Schneider, R. A. Randolph, W. C. Ilfeld, R. L. Schmidt, and E. R. Care.

Amato The Handy Hut BOONE COUNTY NATIONAL BANK BOONE COUNTY AUTOMOBILE COMPANY THE OUTLAW for HOMECOMING THE EXTRA-ORDINARY TALE OF HERSHEL DEWEIS Hershel DeWeis was no ordinary fellow.. From his first day at old Yaprince his life had been one of triumphs. It was true that he had come to col- lege an uncouth and unshaved lad, but he had rapidly developed-he was alert-he had studied-- he had trained-and he was no longer Hershel De- Weis, the boy-but he was now Hershel DeWeis, the man. Hershel had great faith in himself. He was in perfect physical condition, and he knew it. Many weeks on the cinder track and in the apparatus room had produced a physical fitness not uncommon to many great athletes. He knew that if he were called on to make a run, he would not become ex- hausted before the play was completed. Finally the day of the great struggle arrived. Promptly at two o'clock the players arrived at the enclosure, and in the midst of them was no other than our friend-Hershel DeWeis. They were greeted by ovation after ovation. Fif- teen minutes later lulled had become the shouts that had recently been heard. There was a tense silence. Suddenly a sharp, clear noise was to be heard-al- most instantaneously a number of human beings were together-struggling-struggling-struggling. "Give it to DeWeis"-cried a voice. "Let DeWeis carry it," another spectator fran- tically cried. Suddenly one of the players gave the signal- there was another moment of tense waiting. Before the spectators came ot a full realization of what was happening, DeWeis was off on a great run-and what a run it was!-the spectators stood aghast- fascinated-thrilled-charmed-petrified-and again Hershel was releasing his pent-up energy-another run-and still another. Finally DeWeis grew weary. He ceased his masterly efforts. An old grad who had hither-to been silent stood up, rubbed his eyes, moistened his lips and growled, "Why don't they let DeWeis carry the Cadenza- the rest of the orchestra is punk-bedammed if you'll ever catch me at another tea dance." I took my girl to the senior prom 'Cause she couldn't go alone. And it's damn' lucky that I did, For 'twas her who brought me home. -Minn. Ski-U-Mah. Oak Barber "There was a young man from S and B Clo. Co the West, Who proposed to the girl he Shop loved best.
