Sankey Park John and Lionel Barrymore on the screen together fcr the first time is sufficient premise of a good performance. In Arsene Lu pin, they have a story that will | give each of them a chance to his . talents without stealing the show from the other. The story is of a master gentleman thief and a mas ter detective. John as Arsene and Lionel as Guerchard, make a splen did picture, in which not even a line is stolen. The Greater Palace THURSDAY — FRIDAY — SATURDAY Together for the first time JOHN and LIONAL BARRYMORE The Screen’s Greatest Actors in “ARSENE LUPEN” SUNDAY AND MONDAY PREVIEW 11 P. M. SATURDAY VftURDEflS If) THE RUE IDOft&UE A UNIVERSAL PICTURE Will be shown again on TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY Bargain Matinee Every Day Except Sunday—250 “Blonde Crazy” tops the long list of racket shows very effec- i tively with James Cagney as the young racketeer, and Joan Blondell as the blonde. The story is fast moving and clever. Edgar Allen Poe’s “Murder in the Rue Morgue” supplies the screen with a real thriller. The story is of the jealousy of an ape for a man over the love of a girl, a plot as unusual and fantastic as any of Poe's wildest. The cast of this un usual picture is headed by Bela Lugosi, the original Dracula, Syd ney Fox, and Leon Waycroff. Joe E. Brown is the small town hero, as fireman and baseball play er in “Fireman Save My Child.” Joe invents a fire extinguisher and pitches for the Cardinals to get the money to put the idea over. His difficulty in the game is leaving to attend any local fires. After falling in love with a bold blonde city temptress, he returns home to find his true love awaiting. With Brown in the cast are: Evalyn Knapp, Lillian Bond, and Guk Kib- bee. “Over the Hill” is one of the year’s best melodramas. The pic ture contains more than its share of excellent performances, with Mae Marsh as the aged mother, James Dunn as the dutiful and loving young son, and Sally Filers as the girl in the story. The plot and scenes are homey, homely, and sad. LIVESTOCK— (Continued from page 1) High Interest Much interest was shown in the selection of the grand champion steer, which narrowed down from a record breaking number of en tries to these two steers, as the backers of the Angus breed were pulling for Texas Pride 2nd and boosters of the Hereford brand were backing Superior Mischief 42nd. However, E. A. Trowbridge, head of the animal husbandry depart ment of the University of Wiscon sin and judge of the Contest, de cided with no little difficulty that the Hereford Steer was the grand champion. Several Winners Prize winning Shorthorn cattle sent from A and M were: Rodney’s Renown, first prize among one and one-half year olds; Royal Seal, second among one year olds; and Bluebonnet, second among the six month olds. For the best classes, Oklahoma A and M won first prize and Texas A and M placed second. Aberdeen-Angus prize winners shown by Aand M were: one and one-half year olds, Texas Pride 2nd, first prize; one year olds, Ag gie’s Pride, third prize; and six months olds, Aggie’s Peer, second prize. Texas Pride 2nd was chosen the champion steer of all brands and champion senior steer, while Su perior Mischief 42nd was chosen champion junior steer and grand champion steer of the contest. Sport Sidelights ByW. J. Faulk — Basketball has “died a natural death,” but as yet there is still some questions as to just who does and who does not belong on the mythical all-conference five. Num erous selections have been made and as yet there are no two coin cident. Sale For Longhorn Closes Thursday “Sale for the 1932 Longhorn closes definitely tomorrow night,” A1 Saenger, editor stated this af ternoon. Campus residents and all pros pective buyers may place their or der by calling the Publication Man ager’s office Thursday: telephone Nnmber 95. “Orders for books will be placed with the printer for only books sold, “Saenger continued. “Students with coupon books may be assured While three members of the mythical al-conference five re ceived six of seven votes in the selections made by the sports writes of the seven conference schools, not one was a unani mous choice. Raymond Strick land received votes for every post on the first string, as did Sexton of Arkansas, with the exception that Sexton was vot ed as a center on the second team in one instance. Just a matter of opinion, maybe, but in choosing members of the first team, Brannon, T C U, guard, received 11 votes for that position. But so did Sexton, the stellar Ar kansas center, receive an equal number. Sexton’s votes were for various positions and Brannon’s were all for the back post. Lambert, Frog sport scribe, on the assump tion that a man should receive a bonus for being placed at one posi tion on all teams, arbitrarily plac es Sexton behind Brannon, the for mer being given the guard post on the first team. Granted that a play er should receive some considera tion for his ability to play one posi tion well a versatile man who can handle either forward or center would be much more valuable to any team, and we therefore elect Sexton in preference to the Frog star to fill the first team position. first. Garvey seems capable of again caring for the backstop duties. The quadruple swimming meet between Texas University, Rice In stitute, Houston Y M C A, and A and M teams scheduled to be held in the Houston Y M C A Saturday was postponed until the afternoon of March 12, because of the ina bility of the Longhorn team to make the trip. The meet will pro ceed as planned, including the wat er polo game with no change ex cept the date. Some idea of the powerful Texas University team, as boasted by Steer partisans may be had after the meet is completed. The Longhorns are reputed to have several Olympic prospects as mem bers of their swimming team this season. Weather conditions permit ting, the champion Aggies will give the fans an “eyeful” of what they have in store for the 1932 baseball season when they play the Southern Pacific nine from Houston, Saturday after noon. Coach Higginbotham seems to have solved his in field problem with Carpenter holding down the “hot corner,” “Mitch” Mitchell at the short field post, “Sweetie” Davis on second, and Weber filling the vacancy left by Carpenter at If “Vengence is Sweet,” then the Aggie rifle men should be double-sweet by the outcome of their recent meeting with the West Point Military Academy and the second with the Uni versity of Kentucky sarpshoot- ers. Results of the matches show that the Aggies decisive ly “drubbed” both teams in the latest match. The West Point ers won a five man special match from the Aggie team last year and the Kentuckians conquered the National cham pions in the opener this season.

BASKET BALL- (Continued from page 1) brilliant pivot-man of the “Hogs,” and Buster Brannon of T C U fol lowed with four firsts and three seconds. When the votes were com piled Brannon was given preference over Sexton because all his votes were at guard while Sexton’s were scattered over the entire team. Lambert Compiles Statistics Standard Lambert, sports editor of The Skiff, student newspaper of Texas Christian University, was responsible for the idea of having students choose a composite team. The ballots were sent to him and after compiling the votes a copy was sent to each of the seven pap- ersrs. Contributors to the first “Offi cial all-Collegiate Press Team” are: Charles A. Burton, The Semi-Week ly Campus (SMU); D. B. Harde man, The Daily Texan (Texas U); Elton Miller, The Daily Lariat (Baylor); “Little Joe” Korcurek, The Thresher (Rice); Standard Lambert, The Skiff (T C U); E. C. Deane, The Arkansas Traveler, (Arkansas); and W. J. Faulk, The Battalion, (A and M). Wrestling- Favored Intramural Sport As Contests Open BASEBALL— (Continued from page 1) Wrestling proved the most popu lar of the two sports, Intramural wrestling and boxing, last week when out of the 184 contestants en tering, 110 signed up for that sport and 74 for boxing. Another significant point about the number of participants entering these two sports is that the total number exceeds that of last year by thir teen men despite a decrease in en rollment in school this year. The first matches in wrestling were held Tuesday and Wednesday afternoons in which the prelimin ary elimination bouts in the 145 and 135 pound classes were staged. No matches in boxing have been held as yet but they are scheduled to get underway the latter part of this week. of getting their book, but no addi tional books will be sold after the contract for the printing has been made.” in the fall, will in all liklihood not see service in the game and maybe not until the start of the confer ence race, in order to allow the in jured “wing” as much time as pos sible to heal. Conference competition begins with the Aggies playing hosts to the Horned Toads of T C U in the curtain raiser April 2 on Kyle field. One week later the champions are due to face an apparent acid test with Baylor University’s Golden Bears as their guests for a pair of games, also to be played on kyle field. The first real test of reserve strength and stamina of the entire team comes when the campaign is shifted to foreign fields for four of six games to be played within a period of nine days, beginning Ap ril 22. Should the champs .weather the storm previous to this trip the outcome of those six games may go far in determining the final standing of Coach Higginbotham’s hopefuls. Other practice affairs already scheduled as preliminaries to the conference race are a pair of strug gles with the Beaumont Exporters of the Texas League, in Beaumont March 25 and 26. Several more “warm-up” games may be played before the start of the conference race. The complete conference sche dule is as follows: April 2-T C U at College Station. April 8-Baylor at College Station. April 9-Baylor at College Station April 15-Rice Institute at Hous ton. April 16-Rice Institute at Hous ton. April 22-Baylor at Waco. April 23-Baylor at Waco.
