Dear Rufus:
Your delectable concoction of verbal
confections arrived in this morning’s
batch of mail and was opened by my
private secretary (who is none other
than myself).
It is needless to say that I was more
than glad to hear from you, even
though you did chide me about wear
ing your hat so often. Now you know,
Rufus, that I wore it only on the
“week-end”, and down deep in your
heart you are cognizant of the fact
that I more than appreciate you sav
ing me this “overhead” expense.
Everybody up here in this neck of
the woods is strong for the Oklahoma
Sooners except me, and I am as weak
as seven days in that respect. It did
my heart good via my purse (not
pulse) when the Nebraska Cornhusk-
ers walked up and down their field as
fast as Benny Garrity used to walk
post when he was a freshman.
The daily papers, and especially the
Oil-Can News Squirt, were so con
gested with football news last week
that their circulation was bad. The
Squirt carried a full-size cut of
“Hero” McMillan, the famous grid-
ster, and the paper sold like hot cakes
to Fred Dinan because, confidentially,
these old nestors are fond of the com
ic section. There were also two long
articles concerning the McMillan
twain giving an itemized account of
the lives of each. It toop up “Bo”
McMillan’s life historv from the time
he was big enough to argue that Dal
las is a suberb of Fort Worth until
that historic moment when he crossed
the Crimson goal-line spelling victory
for Charlie Moran’s “praying col
onels.” Then there was a parallel dis
cussion of “Hero” McMillan’s esca
pades from the day he landed at Ellis
Island until he crossed Baylor’s line
for an A .and M. victory.
Say, Rufus, just how much do you
think we are going to win from Texas
on Thanksgiving ? Of course, that de
pends to some extent on how much
they put up.
Drop me a few lines soon.
Your’s til Buck Schewitz shaves,
WILLIAM.
P. S.—Does Tucker still wear that
polka dot night shirt that he brought
from Blum when he was a “first year
boy.”
Dave Porter, National leader of
Student Volunteer work in the col
leges will speak at Convocation Sun
day. Mr. Porter is one of the ablest
speakers in the service today. He
has traveled through every mission
field in the world and won an en
viable name in the World War.
Sunday evening at 6 :45 thei-e will
be a Union Service in Guion Hall. All
denominational groups will combine
in order to hear Mr. Porter’s address
on “The College Student’s Relation
to Life.”
In order that everyone may get a
chance to discuss modern problems,
Mr. Porter will devote a short period |
after the evening service to a ques
tionnaire.
During the Student’s onference at
Hollister the A. and M. band of del
egates met and decided to organize
at A. and M. a branch of the World
Fellowship ICub. B. Eubank was
elected president and C. K. Fraser,
secretary-treasurer.
The primary object of this club is
to bank together the men interested
in missionary work particularly the
Student Volunteers.
The Club in connection with the
Student Volunteer Band will have
charge of the Thursday night meet
ing once a month at which time mis
sionary subject will be discussed.
They sat upon the garden stile—
The Youthlet and the Maid,
“The stars above are not so bright
As you,” he softly said.
She lifted up her little hand
Toward Luna’s silvery light;
“The moon above is not so full
As you, my dear, tonight.
