Sophomores To Report for
Practice.
When Coach Reid sends his
squad of between 15 and 20 candi

Four regulars from last year’s
team that have been lost through
graduation are: Joe Moody, for
ward and captain of last years
team, “Jocko” Roberts, guard,

past season.
One of the bright spots of this
year’s team is Joe Merka, elongated
center and captain of team from
Bryan. Joe was greatly hampered
during the past season with a sick
spell and did not get into condition
until ’ late in the season. He is
due his best year of competition
this season.
The other two players who saw
enough service last year to letter
are Griffin Breazeale, center from
Crockett, and Ellis “Frenchy”
Stansel, forward from Gueyden,
La. The strong group of sopho
more and squadmen candidates
that will be pushing the lettermen
for positions include the follow
ing :
Center — Monte Carmichael,
Lamkin, freshmen numeral.
Forwards—Earl Shepherd, Port
Arthur, and Tommy Hutto, Coa
homa, squadmen; Taylor Wilkins,
Franklin, Johnny Davis, Amarillo,
and Max Tohline, Fort Worth,

Watching the Angies
By CARROLL ROBERTS
Whew, Coach Bell must have
slipped some dynamite into the
boy’s diet last week. Anyway, that
line really had dynamite in it as
it charged over those Golden
Bears; and those backs led by
“Frenchy” Domingue” ripped
through the good old Baylor for
wards with the power of a loco
motive. It was like feasting to a
hungry man to again see those
boys in red sweeping all before
them—for 59 minutes at least.
Feed ’em some more of that stuff
this week, Coach, and we should
take those Gent’s from Centenary
for a ride Saturday over there in
Shreveport.
From the looks of things in
scrimmaging this week, the Ag
gies are getting set to do what no
other team has been able to do sc
far this year—score on Centenary.
What is more they are getting set
to hold the Gent’s to the smaller
end of the score—a feat no team
has accomplished since 1931. Here
are my guesses on how the week
might end:
A and M 7—Centenary 0
S M U 14—Texas 13
T C U 13—Baylor 7
Santa Clara 19—Rice 0
Not realizing that a football
game lasts 60 full minutes instead
of only 59 came near to spelling
disaster for the Aggies last Sat
urday. After holding the Bears to
only one first down until the last
few minutes of play, the Aggies
let up a little and the Bruins be
gan an air raid during the last
minutes of play to make four
more first downs to give the Bay
lor fans their only real thrill and
the Cadet’s their only real scare
of the game. Taking the ball on
their own 20 yard line, the Bears
opened up, and with a devastating-
aerial raid, took the ball to the
Aggies 24 yard line before the
gun fired ending the game.
Won’t somebody stop those
Razorbacks!! That is a familiar
cry around Aggieland right now.
With three conference wins al
ready to their credit the Razor-
backs need only to beat the Long
horns and the Owls to call it a
day for their first Southwest Con
ference Championship. Many fans
are wondering just why the Aggies
do not play Arkansas this yeai
since the Cadets do not have a
chance to stop those championship
bound Hogs. Here’s why: There is
a conference rule that a team does
not have to play but four confer
ence games to be eligible to win
the championship. Up until 1931,
A and M had been playing Arkan
sas and had played four consecu
tive years while other conference
teams were taking time about
leaving the Razorbacks off their
schedule. Then in 1931, when we
again took up relatiens with Bay
lor, Arkansas was dropped from
the schedule for one year to make
place for the Bears. In 1932 when
A and M submitted three dates to
Arkansas to arrange a game that
year, all the dates were conflict
ing with Arkansas’ schedule so
the teams did not play last year.
Then this year, A and M waited
for Arkansas to arrange a con
venient date for the game but a-
gain the schedules could not be
agreed upon and Arkansas, was
left off the schedule. There are
no strained relations between the
two schools; it is merely an in
ability to arrange schedules to
have a satisfactory date for both
schools.
Jinx Tucker of the Waco News
Tribune was in the press box last
Saturday watching the Aggies
beat his hometown boys. Maybe
all his readers in Aggieland
don’t know it but back in the days
when Jinx was much younger and
not half so tough to look at, he
had a poetic inclination. This
poetry didn’t run to love odes nor
to flowery dreams—no, even then
he was thinking football. Here it
is:
They took the speed from the
winds that blow,
From the paths that the comets
sweep;
They drew the strength from the
oak that grows
And that grips with its roots
thrust deep;
They added the brains and heart
And from the War God, some
fighting flame,
In which they melted and fused
the lot
And moulded them into a game—
and called it Football.”

FINAL GAMES FOR
INTRAMURAL CAGE
RACE THIS WEEK
Company “B” Infantry and
Company “B” Engineers To
Play Championship Tilt
This Week-end.
The Intramural basketball sea
son is drawing to a close this week
with “B” Company Infantry and
“B” C'omT'^r’W Kngrineers vying for
the championshinp of the Class A
group. Both teams have gone thru
their schedules undefeated and the
final games of the season are
drawing a big sixth man for the
teams that have worked at their
play and have taken the lead in
the sport to date.
In the Class B competition, Bat
tery “E” Artillery and Company
“A” Engineers are running nip and
tuck for honors and Company “B”
Infantry and Company “C” Engi
neers are tied for the lead in their
own league.
Company “B” Engineers is lead
ing the field in Speedball with
three wins to its credit but it is
hard to tell anything about the
standing in this sport—since sev
eral teams have not played their
first game, it’s still anybody’s con
test. Battery “A” Artillery, Com
pany “H” Infantry, Troop “B” Cav
alry, and the Band are on equal
footing at tennis but like the
speedball contest, it would take a
mighty good guesser to tell who
will win.
With the Cross Country schedul
ed to take place Sunday, Novem
ber 26, quite a few of the sprint
ers have begun to warm the cin
ders in preparation for that long-
two and a half mile grind. Mr.
Penberthy urges all those who plan
on entering the Cross Country to
take advantage of the good weath
er and get in some practice while
they can.

AT THE PALACE—
Thursday, Friday and Saturday:
“Take A Chance”
Sunday and Monday: “Meet The
Baron.”
Tuesday and Wednesday: “Day
Of Reckoning.”
AT THE ASSEMBLY HALL—
Friday Night (Benefit of the
Debating- Team) : “Midnight Mary”
Saturday Night: “The Silver
Cord.”
Wednesday Night (Nov. 8):
“Made On Broadway.”
Thursday, Friday and Saturday
at the Palace: Take A Chance.
Paramount studio put all of its
near-star beauties into this enter
taining musical comedy. Cliff Ed
wards and his ukelele help the
picture out a lot. As expected the
plot is disconnected and of little
importance compared with the
song and dance numbers. You will
get some laughs, hear some new
tunes, and see some goodlooking
girls if you just “take a chance”
Friday Night at the Assembly
Hall. Midnight Mary.
A gangster-and-court scene type
of picture. The heroine (Loretta
Young) is a poor girl struggling
against fate and a bad environ
ment. Along comes a gangster into
her life (Ricardo Cortez) and then
comes our hero (Franchot Tone).
They get jealous and our heroine
shoots the villain. Court scene.
Curtain. It’s a benefit show.
Saturday Night at the Assembly
Hall. The Silver Cord.
“The Silver Cord” is a psycho
logical picture using a unique var
iation of the eternal triangle—the
selfish woman who intervenes be
tween her son and his wife with
an abnormal maternal love. There
is no action, but only a lot of con
versation which may bore you,
however, the picture undoubtedly
gives a splendid dramatization of
the mother-in-law psychological
relationship-in tragic form.
Sunday and Monday at the
Palace. Meet The Baron.
Jack Pearl, better known as the
Baron Munchausen, Jimmy (Sch-
nozzle) Durante, Zazu Pitts, Ted
Healy, and Edna May Oliver—all
of them star comedians—put on a
comedy. It’s slapstick—it’s funny
—but I can’t tell you whether
you’ll like it or not. After seeing
it, your friends will ask you “Vas
you dere, Sharlie?”
Wednesday Night (Nov. 8) at
the Assembly Hall. Made On
Broadway.
Here is an excellent show fea
turing Robert Montgomery, Sally
Eilers, and Madge Evans. Mont
gomery, at the risk of appearing
to copy Lee Tracy, acts the part
of a publicity man, who knows his
way around town. It’s a good
comedy.
Two Conference Games Left On
Razorback Schedule; Longhorns
Undefeated In Conference Race
Razorbacks Lost Only Game
of Season to L S U; Long
horns To Face Five More
Conference Teams.
By taking the S M U Mustangs
into corral last Saturday, Arkan
sas took over an undisputed lead
in the race for a Southwest Con
ference Championship. Texas
University, the only other confer
ence team that has had no confer
ence defeat to date, has its hard
est schedule ahead including a
game with Texas A and M on
Kyle Field Thanksgiving day.
The Arkansas victory over S M
U Saturday, 3-0, the third confer
ence win in as many starts for the
Razorbacks. Although they have
lost one game, it was a non-confer
ence game with the strong L S U
team, and therefore does not
count in the championship race.
I he remaining schedule for the
Razorbacks calls for only two more
conference games, one with Texas
and one with the weak Rice team.
In case the Longhorns come
through with a victory over the
Razorbacks, and then only loose-
one game during the remaining
part of their schedule, the Texans
would have a slight margin over
the Razorbacks because of the fact
that Texas plays six conference
games while Arkansas only plays
five. But if the Longhorns fail to
stop the Razorbacks and unless the
impossible, which sometimes
does occur, Arkansas should
have an easy time with Rice to
slip right into the conference
championship.
Arkansas has a backfield made
up almost entirely of veterans with
plenty* of reserve in fast sopho
mores. La Forge, the fleet
back who is one of the leaders in
individual scoring for the confer
ence, heads the backfield. Other
backfield stars on the team who
are dangerous are Rees, Geiser,
Criswell, Jordan, and Murphy.
Arkansas has a strong balanced
line with two good ends. On one
end Captain Johnson keeps the
wing covered while on the other,
P. Rucker blocks, grabs passes,
and rushes the backs. At guard,
Boepple and Black hold the line
while at tackle Measel and Benton
Lake the brunt of the work with
Haden, Disheroon, ,and S^hueter
relieving them at times.
Arkansas’ record for the season
is as follows;•
Arkansas 40; School of Ozarks, 0
Arkansas 42; Okla. Baptist, 7
Arkansas 13; T C U 0
Arkansas 19; Baylor 7
Arkansas 0; L S U 20
Arkansas 3; S M U 0
