ASK any girl you know to name her

She’s discovered—trust her bright

the campus and off, who welcome the
mental stimulation
and relaxation they
get from this real
man’s smoke.
And if she’s very
wise in the ways of
smokers, she’ll go

(Intercollegiate Press)
Evanston, 111.—A little black box
with three socket plugs and three
needles which record respiration,
pulse and blood pressure may take
the place of the short rubber hose
and the tough fists of detectives in
the securing of confessions of cri
minals.
The lie detector, or Polyg
raph, as it is officially named, is
the product of Dr. Leonardo Keel
er of the scientific crime detection
laboratories of Northwestern Uni
versity.
Dr. Keeler recently demonstrat
ed that the detector is able even
to see beyond the most amazing
poker face. He took as a subject
a card player of experience, asked
him to select one from a group of
ten cards,' and then answer “no,”
to all question as to whether this
was the card he had chosen. The
subject did as commanded, and
when the card appeared which he
had chosen he said, “No.” The poly
graph jumped. Dr. Keeler, after
going through the ten, pointed out
the one chosen. “No,” said the sub
ject again, and the polygraph gave
even a worse jump.
“I fear you were lying,” said
Dr. Keeler.
“I was,” said the subject.
And the polygraph didn’t jump
that time.

Track Man Runs Down Two
Gunmen After Robbery
(Intercollegiate Press)
Qunicy, 111.—When a 16-year-
old youth held up a filling station
here he did not reckon with the
fact that one of the bystanders
was a world-famous runner.
Morgan Taylor, former Grinnell
College athlete and champion of
the 400-mete hurdles in the llym-
pic Games, led two other witnesses
of the holdup in pursuit of the
youth and his gunman companion.
He caught the robber in front of
City Hall, and knocked his gun
from his hand, holding him for
police.
Trustees of Williams College
have agreed to establish for 100
years two new annual scholarships
to be named “A Dog’s Tale,” be
cause they will be supported by
the sale of the first editions of a
pamphlet containing Mark Twain’s
story by that name, presented to
the college by an alumunus, Irving
Slee Underhill, a collector of rare
copies of Mar Twain’s works.
TEXAS-
(Continued from page 1)
White over the Longhorns but al
so the first time an Aggie team
had ever scored on the “Varsity.”
The Aggies then claimed the cham
pionship of the south since Texas
had defeated Sewanee, who in turn
was victorious over Vanderbilt.
But the Maroon and White Sup
remacy was short lived when they
failed to win from the “Varsity”
gridders again in 1909. A team
boasting such stars as “Charlie”
Deware, “Choc” Kelly, “Mike” Bal-
enti, and “Dutch” Hohn trampled
the Steers in a sea of mud, in
Houston, and sent them home beat
en to the tune of 23-0 in the 1909
game. Not satisfied with the out
come of this affair the Texas boys
called for a “new deal” and two
week later the teams resumed war
fare, this time in Austin, and the
Aggies again reigned supreme
when the game ended. However,
the latter game was much more
fiercely fought and the Aggie em
erged victors by only o ne touch
down. So intense had become the
rivalry between the two student
bodies, that the University stud
ents posted a sign which read
“Once in Seven years.” The Aggies,
not to be outdone, captured the sign
and repainted it to read, ‘Twice in
two weeks.” The following year
again found the Aggies with a
great team and the Longhorns
went down Under a 14-8 defeat,
which ran the winning streak of
the Maroon and White to three
games, a record which stands today
as the longest either team can
boast since Texas’ long series of
victories was wrecked in 1909.
Relations Severed Second Time
The Aggies had a great team in
1911, and were confident of down
ing the Longhorns for the fourth
consecutive time, but a mediocre
Orange and White eleven rose to
great heights and won the game
6-0. It was then that rivarly be
tween the two student bodies again
became so intense that it was
deemed wise to sever athletic re-,
lations between the schools.
The teams did not meet again
until 1915, when the first game
was played on Kyle field. In the
fray “Rip” Colline. “Fannie” Cole
man, and Captain Bennie Garrity
tore through the mighty Texas
line, which boasted such stars as
“Pig” Dittmar, Paul and Bob Sim
mons and “Pete” Edmond, and
started the Kyle field tradition,
with at 13-0 triumph. The rivalry
between the two institutions then
became one of friendliness, with
the exception of when the game is
on, and in the long list of struggles
that have followed only once nas
each tteam won on the opposing
teams home ground.
Ample proof of the fight dis
played by the two teams when
playing “in their own back yard”
are the results of battles such as
those in 1920, ’21, ’25’ and ’29. The
1920 season found the Aggie ma
chine having one of the most suc
cessful in its history, while the
best the Longhorns could offer was
a crew of fighting mediocre ball
players. The Aggies entered the
game with what might be called a
perfect record, having downed ev
ery opponent without a single point
being scored by the latter. Scene
of the affair was in Austin and
the Aggies were rank favorites
when the game began. They upheld
their reputation by scoring first
by way of a field goal when the
Steer line proved to be virtually
impregnable, but with the game
apparently won until the last min
ute of play, the Longhorns sudden
ly came to life and drove over the
Maroon and White goal line, con
verted for the extra point and
ruined e perfect season for the Ag
gies.
Aggies Invincible on Kyle Field
Then the 1921 season was on of
Texas University’s greates, their
team being “dubbed” the “wond
er team.” That mighty band of
gridiron warriors came to College
Station, assured that they would
“win in a walk,” but when the
game ended everyone was “won
dering,” why it ended in a score
less deadlock. In 1925 neither team
was given much advantage, since
both were undefeated and were re
puted to be of approximately equal
strength, some called it a toss-up
affair. But the game had not prog
ressed far when it could easily be
seen as to which team was the
superior, on that day, and which

way the game would go. It was in
this game that the Aggies handed
the Longhorns their worst set
back ever administered them on
Thanksgiving day, when the final
score read A & M 28-Texas 0. It
was in this game that Joel Hunt,
the Southwest’s greatest back; and
“Siki” Sykes, all-conference Aggie
end, embarked on their brilliant
careers. The last so-called upset
was in 1929, when a Texas team
rated two touchdowns better than
A & M was roundly outplayed on
Kyle field and sent home with a
13-0 defeat.

Regular business of the club was
