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.

“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 the 1932 Longhorn

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.

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

If “Vengence is Sweet,” then

their recent meeting with the
West Point Military Academy

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.

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

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.

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.
