puffed up because of their unde
feated record for the present sea
son, Coach Homer Norton's Con-
tenary Gentlemen will be waiting
with open arm* for the »econd
straight invasion of Shreveport
and the Gent stronghold by the
Texas Aggie*.
In the last two years the Gentle
men have defeated at least once
" every Southwest Conference team
they have played with the excep
tion of the Aggies. They have not
played Rice or T. C. U. however..
/ Their record this year inefudes vic
tories over the Henderson Teach
ers, University of Texas, Louisiana
Normal, University of Mississippi,
and Southern Methodist Univer
sity. The scores of the Texas and
S. M. U game were 13-6 and 16-7
respectively.
The athletic relations between
Centenary and A and M are not of
long standing, but certainly are of 1
exciting history. The teams first
played in 1928 when the Gentlemen
came to A and M .and gave to the
Bible-eoached Aggies the first de
feat on Kyle Field in five years,
la 1930 the Farmers had their
worst season in many year*. Out
of a schedule of nine game* they
won only two. One wa* against the
-small Southwestern University
team and the other was a 7-6 win
over the Gentlemen on Kyle Field.
Just two .weeks before, the same
Centenary team held the strong
Texas University Longhorn* to 0-0
score in Austin, and the Steers
were the champions of the confer
ence that year.
Last year Centenary won a 24-
13 game from the Baylor Bears,
but in return lost decisions to Ar
kansas, S. M U., and the Aggies.
Accompanied by the entire Cadet
corps, the Aggie team outran and
out passed the Gent lemen in s
victory.
The Aggies this year have a sea
son percentage of .671. They have
won from the Texas Tech .Mata
dors, Sam Houston State Teachers
College, Southwestern University,
an<A Texas A. and I., and have lost
to 9*. C. U. and Tulane, and tied

its first appearance Saturday at
the Texas-Southern Methodist foot
ball tussle, it was announced today
by Dick Rubottom, editor of the
Semi-Weekly Campus, student
newspaper, and “Spark” Trimble,
head yell leader, who are respon
sible for the creation of the new
cheering section.
The work on the 1933 Longhorn
is progressing rapidly, .according
to B. M Gottlieb, editor, and the
phase* that are receiving atten
tion at the present time are up to
| if not a little ahead of the pro-
; posed schedule, he stated.
The seniors responded in a whole-.
hearted manner when (hey were
requested to have their pictures
made as aarly as possible and their
cooperation has made it possible to
extend the time so that the few
who were unable to visit the studio
during the time prescribed for sen
iors may still have their picturea
made, Gottlieb stated. The junior
pieture* are being made now, and
in order that the work on the class
sections may stay up to schedule.
Gottlieb requests that the juniors
have their pictures made as soon as
possible.
There will not be an extension"
of time allowed the juniors as the
shortage of funds makes it not only
expenditures snd the mipropiation
of an equal amount for public
works, including i
lion, slum clearance and koosInK.
Almost in step with the Demo
crats, the Socialists advocate a
compulsory system of unemploy
ment compenMtion with adequate
benefits based upon contributions
by the government and •employers.
In addition to this, they favor the
establishment of old-age pensions,
health and maternity insurance, an
improved system of workmen’
compensation and accident insur
ance. abolition of child labor, es
tablishment on a national scale of
the minimum wage and the six-
hour day, five-day week, and the
creation of free public unemploy
ment agencies.
