Sports Editor Clarence La Roc he
of The Dally Texan has made a
weak reply to die panning that we
gars him recently for blowing off
about the Aggie coaches when
athletics at U. T. are in such k de
plorable condition.
Here is a little dope that's just
shads off “lllly whits.” in fact
it is “tea colored”.
One of the outstanding fresh
man football players on the Texas
squad this past season was a little
man by the name of Patrick.

this same Patrick was headed

six to ten farms a day may be

The main purpose of Owens’
is to record representative
folk mnair of this section of the
United States. This ia his second
year at R- He waa selected for it
because Of hi* pr.-vious experience
in acquiring folklore, his collection
of srorda and music to Texas folk
songs ("Swing and Turn: Texas
Play-Party, Rpmas”) having been
published by the Texas Folklore
Society not long ago.
s uses e portable electric
recorder valaed at about $250. He
makes his t♦cords on small alum
inure discs which must be played
with special needles mode of cac
tus thorns. So far he has made
more than 140 records for Profea

of the Museum of Iowa University.
The search for folklore has car

Vesper Services Will
Be Given Sunday

ehjoyable program possible to the
Aggies, the regular Sunday e

the outstanding teams in
conference this year, as wall as
last year. The Ponies of IMS. led
by the smooth playing J. D. “Snip
Norton and Billy Dowell,
snatched away the conference
crown last year, and to the sorrow
of some of the root of the Circuit,
they have just as good and perhaps
better team this year
Last year Norton led the con
ference ebampe in scoring and now
this year another Mostang, “Coun
try” Wilkeraon, “hot” sophomore,
is leading the pack. Wilkerson horn
taken Dewell's place at center, and
from some reports ia said to be
better than either Dewell or Nor
ton. With Norton and DeweU hold
ing down the forward positions the
Ponies have beyond a doubt
best offensive combination in
Southwest- To complete their start
ing five, the Mustangs have placed
Chelsea Crouch and Dougherty at
the guard slot*.
The Aggies have a fast develop
ing team to offer the M
and with Tinker and Daemon hit
ting the basket, should give
Baccus coached Mustangs plenty
of trouble. Last
from Ft. Worth nearly upeet the
Ponies and they may have placed
the ground work for aa Aggie vic
tory Saturday night.
The Mustangs have beaten the
toll University of Arkansas keys
twice, aad turned hack the lowly
T. C. U. Horn Toads, and it's a
cinch that they’ll not take any
chances on the Aggie gam*. They
are headed for another conference
flag.
For the Aggies, Capt. Dwyer and
Smith will start at the guard poel-
na. Bill Daemon at cantor, and
J. T. Lang aad Tinker at the for-
irds. Coach McQuillan intends
to send this starting line-up sgaiast
both the Progs and the Mu*tang*.
