It is expected that sev eral of the freshmen football play ers will fall to make the fraib. As for the varsity members, there is little to worry abort except one or two. It has been rumored that Marshall Bobnett, who has pos sibilities of being ths best guard ia the conference next year, may not make the grade.

C. unit tiu, but they am fighting it hardy When R. 0. t. C. is mentioned they make slurring remarks about A. A M. Hem is a line taken from one of their editorials. “Any day a University stu dent will stoop as low aa to pack a rifle la place ef the freedom of democracy that reigns supreme here at Texas, he ought to tan tail aad ge It A. A M ” Another quote from the editorial page mads: “The University haa had difficulty living down its past of violent basing. Our sister Insti tution, A. A still has neb a system with domineering’.officer and privates brought to submission by violence. I know several boys who have quit A. A M. at the end of their first year because of the brutal treatment dealt out under the military hierarchy. Ia this what Representative Fetich proposes for the University?" The University weald prob ably be a much better place if Mrs. Jones’ little Pat who b a student at Texas waa given A * MtUe something to do and a little licking that mem and pop failed to give him. Old George Washington would probably turn over in his grave if be could bear some of the excuses for not having an R. 0. T. C.

It is a recognised fact not only in Texas, but throughout the nation, football at Texas is in a deplorable situation. Take a look at the na tional rating that they made last year and the year before. Maybe 18 years from now conditions will improve them. * AFTERNOON PROGRAMS OF “Quiet Hours of Music" are pro vided for the relaxation of students of Woman’s College, University of North Carolina, during examina- ■ ■ » ENTER TOUR PRIZE PICTUE- es now in the competition for the Collegiate Digest Salon Edition. mi oi weir live last week . . _ — and he moved out and celebrated Mn,or ruard ’ ^ eligible ** «"»• February.

"Snodgrass is a first-class guard and has had a lot of experience Atkinson, of coarse, is untried |n conference play, but his height will be an asset. “We have had our ears pinned back only ones in five games. The Baylor Bears caught us in the opener with only three d»ys of practice and beat ua 84 points. A little more than two weeks later, we held them to a 4-point victory. forced the Mustangs top flight in the conference—into an overtime period for their 2-point victory.
