top, they should finish on top of the
pile when the last whistle blows.
Even if they do win these four
games, the Farmers may be so
battered that they will limp in be
hind another team but the fact that
we have our greatest rivals on our
own lot balances this somewhat. S.
M. U. has to meet D. X. Bible’s Corn-
huskers and that is two assignments
in itself.

The Athletic Department wishes
to announce that tickets for the gen
eral public for the Texas and S. M.
U. games will be placed on sale
November 1 and until that date it
will be useless to try to purchase
them. However tickets are being
mailed to the ex-students in good
standing. By a new rule passed at
the recent meeting each ex-student
may purchase only two tickets in the
ex-students section with an addi
tional ticket for graduates of ten
years, and two tickets for those that
entered the college 15 years ago.
At present 2000 tickets for the
Texas game and 1600 for the S. M.
U. game have been mailed out.
The benefits derived from intra
mural sports are immeasurable. It
is safe to say that wise participa
tion in intramural sports has bene
ficial effect upon scholarship as well
as physical development of the in
dividual. This improvement comes di
rectly from a healthful recreation
which builds up one’s energy rather
than dissipates it. The intramural
athletics have for their objectives,
recreation, group spirit, social bene
fits, better health development of
interest in sports, bodily prowess,
and scholarship.
15 Sports Offered.
The department offers in her pro
gram a wide field of different sports
and in the coming year it is the
policy to make these sports more in
teresting and to try to get every
student to participate in the pro-

keep about 100 men in uniform. As
these men show lack of Varsity
ability other men will be given their
uniforms and this process continued
untif all the men have had a chance
to show their grid ability. Many real
stars will be overlooked and many 1
inferior men will have their positions,
but with this large number of can
didates it is impossible for any coach
to do better. If these men that are
disappointed really love the game
and believe that they are of Varsity
calibre, intramural football is still
o-pen to them to demonstrate their
wares. And if they have anything
that the Varsity can use, an invi
tation for spring training will be
issued. It will be noted that Captain
Tom Mills of the ’29 Aggies came
up from the intramural ranks.
Coach Roswell Higginbotham, who
will begin his third year as fresh
man mentor, will be assisted by
Coach Frank Anderson, track and
cross-country, Coach “Red” Petty,
former star Aggie wingman.
Work will begin about September
23 when it is expected that the fish
will be through with the trials of
registration and settled in their sur
roundings.

not find one in the fifteen offered
then additional ones will be “put on
the market.”
Intramural sports come closest to
the idea of athletic sports—the ideal
of “sports for sports sake.” Some
times we all feel that too much em
phasis upon the part of the student
to take part for what they can get
out of it, rather than for the fun
and recreation that comes to them.
A program that is designed to stim
ulate the interest of students with
every degree of ability—whether he
have gross lack of co-ordination or
be very proficient—-is a valuable
program. And that is the aim of in
tramurals—“sports for all and all
for sports.”

* guaranteed Forever Against All Defects
Here's TFinfield Kill am. University of
Texas, all set for a hop between classes.
His extra hours for flying come from doing
his school work quickly and easily via Par
ker Duofold.
Elliott Coleman, Louisiana State University, feels fortified against
adverse flying conditions when in his Command-aire plane. Likewise,
he feels fortified against the stiffest exams when he grasps his trusty
Parker Duofold Pen.
Here are Bill Banker, Tulane's All-American “Blond Blixxard,” and
Ike Sewell, former captain of University of Texas' football team—all
set for a hop in a Command-aire plane. TFken it comes to speedy writ
ing, both are Parker Duofellows.
*To prove Parker Duofold is a pen of lifelong perfection, we offer to
make good any defect, provided complete pen is sent by the owner
ny d
direct to the factory with 10c for return postage and insurance.
Christened" Parker Duofold" by Amelia Earhart, the first trans-Atlantic
woman flyer, this 5-Passenger Fairchild Alonoplane has, in the past 9
months, given flights to 6,200 Parker dealers and college students. This
fall it will continue its tour among the colleges of America.
Now numbers of colleges have their flying
clubs and landing fields — but the thing that
students like best to pilot through their studies
is the light-flying Parker Duofold Pen that leaps
to its work like a dart and writes with Pressure
less Touch.
Pressureless Touch is Geo. S. Parker’s 47th
Improvement, combining capillary attraction
with gravity feed.
A census of pens in 13 technical schools dis
closed that Parker leads in popularity 2 to 1. It
was voted the favorite by students in 55 colleges.
And a nation-wide poll conducted by the Library
Bureau proved Parker the preference by 2S°/o
above the second pen, and 48% above the third.
Non-breakable barrels of jewel-like, colorful
Permanite, smartly black-tipped — 28% lighter
than rubber — holding 24% more ink than aver
age, size for size.
Step to any good pen counter and select your
point. Imitations can’t deceive you if you look for
the imprint, “Geo. S. Parker — DUOFOLD.”
