8 THE BATTALION SHOW TALK (By Fred L. Porter). Radio Pictures’ wartime comedy, Half Shot at Sunrise, coming to the Palace Theatre Thursday, Friday and Saturday, is a triumph in fun-making for the talkies and for Bert Wheeler and Robert Woolsey, featured come dians. Cast as two American doughboys, they go A. W. O. L. to Paris. Every thing that isn’t too big to move they take. They steal their colonel’s auto mobile, his daughter and his best French sweetheart. The story, an irresponsible one, holds an even tempo, and the laughs come from situations and clever dia logue rather than from the time worn gag system. The climax, where in the boys emerge heroes, is a riot of laughter. The cast includes Hugh Trevor, Dorothy Lee, Roberta Robinson, Ed na May Oliver, Leni Stengel, George MacFarlane and John Rutherford. The Bad One, featuring Dolores Del Rio and Edmund Lowe, is the attrac tion coming to the Assembly Hall show Saturday night. These popular stars are better than ever in a picture a- bounding with humor, rollicking flirt ation, and self-denial. Alice White, petite star of Show Girl in Hollywood and Sweethearts on Parade, is the Widow from Chicago coming to the Palace for the Saturday night preview and Monday’s program. The Fox Movietone production, Ren egades, based on the novel, Renegade, by Andre Armandy, will open at the Palace Tuesday for a two-day run. The story revolves about the per sonalities of four adventurers, sworn comrades and privates in the famous French Foreign Legion, and an allur ing woman spy who had earlier be trayed one of the four comrades. Warner Baxter eclipses his earlier Arizona Kid roles with his work as leader of the quartet, and Myrna Loy Drafting- Rooms Are Placed in Ross Hall Crowded conditions in the college architect department resulted in the removal of the offices and drafting rooms of that department from the second and first floors of the electri cal engineering building to the first floor of Ross Hall last week Dr. Giesecke, college architect, has an nounced.

A brand-new George Bancroft is the low-brow who turns high-brow to win the beautiful society belle. Ban croft’s performance in this romantic drama is worth seeing.

T C U, S M U Remain Title Favorites Coach Jack Meagher’s sophomore Rice Owls grabbed the honor of giv ing the biggest conference dope up set last week when they defeated the Longhorns 6-0 in Houston, for their first victory over Texas since 1924. As usual, Texas went into the game, favorite over Rice, especially after its showing against Oklahoma U. the week before, but the Texans received the surprise of the season when Rice held them scoreless for three quar ters—and then pushed over a counter in the last quarter. A fumbled punt by Craig, recovered by Hassell on the Texas one-yard line, paved the way for the touchdown which was made by Jamerson. Texas was, and still is, the stronger team, but they were probably building for the future, instead of watching the present. S M U boosted its conference stock again by sending the Hoosier team from Indiana home with a 27-0 lick ing. As at Houston, the sophomores stole the show as Hearon took the initial kickoff and ran 90 yards for a touchdown. Kenneth Travis, soph omore from Amarillo, turned in sev eral sensational runs for the Ponies. The Horned Frogs took their game from the Texas Tech Matadors after using the entire squad to run up a 26-0 score. Leland was used only long enough to score one touchdown. The Frogs were up against more opposi tion than they had counted on, and had to use straight football to score their four markers. The Baylor Bears had their nails filed down a bit when they came off the field from the Centenary game wth a 7-2 defeat. After Baylor scor ed two points on a safety in the third, the Gents came back strong in the fourth quarter to score on a lateral pass to Murff. Baylor made a val iant effort after that to score, and succeeded in reaching the Gent’s one- yard line, but was held. The Mustang-Longhorn game in Austin Saturday holds the conference spotlight for this week. The Texans will put forth their best efforts to halt the passing attack of the Methodists in an effort to pull themselves from the cellar of the conference stand ings. T C U plays its last practice game before starting a stretch of four con ference games, when the Frogs meet the Abilene Christians at Ft. Worth. The Christians have a backfield com posed of fast track men and should show the Frogs a little speed them selves. Rice will attempt to humble the Sewanee Tigers in Houston when they make their first visit to Texas since the 69-0 defeat they were handed by the Aggies in 1928. Arkansas will take on Louisiana State University at Shreveport at the Louisiana Fair, while Baylor goes out of the state to play the Oklahoma Baptists at Shawnee. GERMAN CO-ED FREE Wellesley, Mass.— (IP)—That the American girl is allowed far less lib erty in college than the German girl, contrary to the general impression, is the opinion of Miss Ann de Papp, of Germany, an exchange student at Wellesley College here. American girls work harder at their st.udies through the semester, Miss de Papp said, but German girls study harder for the final examinations, which are very difficult in Germany. Oberlin college students of zoology were treated recently to the rare sight of fresh water jellyfish, discovered by Dr. R. A. Budington, head of the de partment, in the Vermilion River, west of here. Dr. Budington told his classes this was the sixth time in zoological history that jellyfish, reg ularly found in salt water, had been found inland.
