FOOTBALL— (Continued from page 1) Bill Roper at Princeton, was added to the list of unemployed—for quite another reason, however, than that back of Coach Meehan’s virtual dismissal. A1 Wittmer simply had failed to produce a winning team, and as a result was the subject of numerous stinging attacks by un dergraduates and alumni. While Princetonians appeared to be in no hurry to select a new coach Dr. Charles W. Kennedy, chairman of the Princeton Athletic Associa tion expressed the belief that foot ball tournaments might eventually revolutionize the present variety of competitive football. Cutten Defends But though King Pigskin faced an uprising among his once loyal subjects, he was not without his defenders. Dr. George Barton Cut- ten, president of Colgate Univer sity, for instance, declared flatly: “Football is a moral substitute for war, and it makes the right kind of manhood.” John L. Griffith, commissioner of athletics for the Western Con ference, also remained staunchly loyal and contended that the year 1931 fully demonstrated “the hold that college athletics have on the American people.” As also did Dr. Cutten, Commis sioner Griffith expressed regret that “for some unknown reason there were more serious injuries re ceived in connection with games played by major institutions this year than is usually the case . . . An attempt is being made to as certain why this is true.” Forty Fatalities It was believed that he referred to an investigation undertaken by the National Football Rules Com mittee, which has announced that its members, including prominent athletic directors, will gather all information available in connection with some 40 gridiron fatalties this season. Revision of the rules to eliminate some of the present hazards is con templated by the committee, and although no definite action on the subject was either promised or hinted, widespread criticism of the “flying wedge” as an accepted play on the kickoff was also expected to be seriously considered.

If the starting lineups in the pre-conference games mean any thing, Capt. Sumner and Walker will be at forwards, Dietzel at the tip-off position, and Green and Brannon at guards. The forward positions are secure and probably won’t be questioned for the next two years, but with Vaught, Myers and Kinzy for guard competition, Green and Brannon don’t feel quite so confident. Kinzy can also be us ed as a relief man at center. Although the squad is small, Coach Schmidt is not worried. There is not a man out who does not have a chance to letter, and this gives Schmidt time to spend practically all of his time with the men who will be used in competi tion. as compared with mathematical reasoning. “Red Shift” In this regard, the famous Ger man scientist will undoubtedly give a large part of his attention to Dr. Hubble’s findings in connection with the “red shift” in the light spectrum from distant nebulae. As yet, all authorities are not agreed as to whether this shift actually indicates a rapidly expanding uni verse or whether the phenomenon is the result of some influence which affects the light while in transit through space. Dr. De Sitter is sure that the shift is real—that is, it shows the nebulae to be moving away at in creasingly greater speeds, thus tending to prove his theory of a scattering universe. Tolman Differs On the other hand, Dr. Tolman is not so sure. He accepts the “red shift” at its face value, but at the same time conceives the uni verse to be something like a great pulsing, throbbing organism, por tions of which may be expanding while other portions are contract ing. Einstein himself is constantly re vising his estimates of the universe —or universes, as the case may be—including his original theory vhich envisioned all matter in space as being in an essential state of equilibrium. During the three months’ course he is now starting, he expects to make further revis ions, giving due credit to his fel low classmates. “The United States is leading the world in the field of scientific re search,” he declared, following his arrival here. And with that word of praise, he plunged into the mass of work before him. Sport Sidelights By W. J. Faulk While Aggieland’s warriors scrap with Rice Institute’s feathered tribe in Houston, two of the fore most contenders for the Southwest Basketball title for 1932 will battle desperately to dim the other’s chances with an early set back as the champion Horned Frogs enter the den of Baylor’s Golden Bears in Waco, Saturday night. Although Coach Reid’s Aggie five are considered as outside con tenders for the crown, Baylor and T C U both have shown signs of a vast amount of potential scoring ability in games to date. T C U has experienced one setback this season while Baylor has yet to feel the sting of a defeat thus far this season and both are considered bet ter than last year, when the Frogs waltzed home with the flag. W. L. Zunker, San Marcos. Since the “Fish” basket ball season is still in its infancy, no de- finate information on the outstand ing players of the above can be given yet. In about two week, how ever, more definite information as to the likely varsity candidates will be known. A number of tenta tive games are being considered for the freshman cagers but none have been definitely decided upon as yet.

Bryan Texas also had an additional year of cage experience with Texas Military Col lege. Playing at forward the blonde mite has run wild against all op position. He is as speedy as they come, a wonderful dribbler, and sinks shots from all angles from all parts of the floor. His defensive work is beyond all reproach. He is ready for the varsity right now. Nacona Star Smokey Zachary, former Nocona star, is a fit running mate for the West Texas speedster. The dark- skinned youth is a great floor man and possesses a great eye for the basket. He is probably the best ball handler on the squad. Big Jim Lovern of Monroe, Ga., is playing a whale of a game at center, getting the tip-off with con sistency and playing a steady floor game. He gets his share of the goals and plays a good defensive game. The guard posts are being well cared for by a couple of former all-state men from Denton. Harem From T. M. C.

Trojans To Lose Thirteen On This Year’s Grid Team Led by the “Mighty” Alford, Baylor’s Bears have done exceptio nally well in overwhelming, with apparent ease, all opposition to date, while “Too Tall” Dietzel of T C U has not been dormant in his basket tossing, and has figured prominently in T C U’s success to date. Other than Dietzel the Frogs can boast of a well-balanced com bination with “Doc” Sumner and Buster Brannen, both former Athens performers as capable lead- What may be a “dark-horse” in the conference race is the Razor- back five from Arkansas Univer sity. Although dethroned as cham pions of the conference by the Frogs last year, the Hogs have had unusual success in their early season tilts to date. And it may develop that another strong con tender is to be present, ere the race closes. (College News Service) LOS ANGELES, Jan. 6.—South ern football elevens, which this year stormed the walls of Troy in vain, may have better luck next season. Thirteen—unlucky thirteen—of Coach Howard Jones’ University of Southern California Trojans last Friday ended their careers as ama teur gridmen, when in a final blaze of glory they narrowly defeated the famous Green Wave from Tu- lane by a score of 21 to 12. during the last season helped S. C. to attain the highest pinnacle in its gridiron history are: Captain Stan Williamson, center; Gaius Shaver, All-American quar terback; Johnny Baker, All-Ameri can guard; Erny Pinckert, All- American halfback; Jim Musick, fullback; Garret Arbelbide, end; Bob Hall, tackle; Harold Hammack, hahlfback; Gene Clark, end; Tom Mallory, halfback; Blanchard Beat ty, quarterback; Barry Stephens, halfback, and Howard Joslin, end. Although a bit dull at present the sport program at Aggieland promises plenty of excitment with in the next six weeks as Intramural football gets under way, handball is soon to be resumed, varsity and freshman basketball will both hit their respective strides this week and varsity baseball begins near the start of February. Varsity rifle shooting will take the form of schedule practice near the middle of this month also. Southern Methodist’s Mustangs will likely not experience any such remarkable success in the hard wood chase as they did on the Southwest Gridirons in the season just past. But like unto Arkansas’s Hogs the Ponies are of unknown strength. The Longhorns from Texas Uni versity should not be troublesome to the leaders and will, in all like lihood, finish below the halfway mark.

He plays a neat floor game and is better than fair on the offensive side of play. For reserves the Colts have Clif ton Wilhite, who received some all- state mention with Wills Point last season, at guard; Selman Cowan, of Lampasas and John Tarleton Agricultural College; Billy Brown, guard, an all-city man with Dallas Sunset last year; Joe Smith, guard, another John Tarleton product, from Ralls; and Ernest Golden, giant Rockmart, Go., youth, who is equally at home at either for ward or guard.

The team, organized some 8 years ago boasts probably the best record of any athletic team ever to represent the Maroon and White in battle with only one defeat in it’s history. Aggie swimmers have previously entered meets in Gal veston and Houston and have com peted against Texas University teams in the past. The first meet, tto be held this year, will be in the Gregory Memorial Gymnasium in Austin. “Even a shoe clerk may marry an heiress if he gives her the right sighs.” Repairing-— Watch Clock Jewelry —Diamond settling You will find our prices reasonable, and our work satisfactory.
