It it not kaovn just how tuny
athletes were felled hy ths exam
ination axs. 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.
Coach Art Adamson Is afraid
that the exams will wrack his
swimming team.

That bench of guys over there
that wear the fadad orange and
white seem to be on the Aggies’
nock. There has been some talk of
starting an R, 0. T. 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

Old George Washington would

for not having an R. 0. T. C.

Talking about football again. 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

year and the year before. Maybe
18 years from now conditions
will improve them. *

JOKING HIS WAT THROUGH
uses seems to be the policy of a
certain freshman in the school of
commerce at the Unfversi» oi
Alabama. When he came upon a
particularly hard question in one
of his mid-term examinations last
week, the student wrote:
“I don’t know the answer to
this one, but I do* know a good
joke that I can writs in its place.”
Whereupon he eerawled off a 150-
woid yarn, and at ito conclusion,
wrote: “I. think this ought to be
worth some credit, deal you? God
bless you if you do, and God ^les*
me if you don’t!"
