Show Opened With
Big Parade Friday
FORT WORTH — The gates
swung wide to open the forty-
fourth annual Southwestern Ex
position and Fat Stock Show Fri
day evening as a colorful rodeo
parade moved through the busi
ness district of Fort Worth.
At least ten bands from cities
all over Texas were in the line of

colors as 175 cowboys and cow
girls (top rodeo riders of the
world) passed in review during
the three-mile parade .
Amon Carter, Fort Worth pub
lisher and civic leader, and Mayor
T. J. Harrell led the parade.
From all over the continent,
rodeo contestants have been ar
riving during the past week to par
ticipate in the world championship
contests with prizes of $20,000 at
stake. Show herds from some of
the leading livestock farms of the
country have arrived to compete
for prizes of $27,000.
Sixteen teams from agricultural
colleges in 13 states are competing
in the general livestock judging
contests for students. From the
standpoint of entries, it is the
second largest contest of its kind
in the nation.
Bill Owens—
(continued from page 1)
William Owens was bom and
raised in Paris, Texas, the heart
of the “sticks” of East Texas. It
was here that, as a boy, he learn
ed the games and songs that make
up the folklore of our own people,
and he wrote a book about them,
“Swing and Turn.” In 1936 his
book was the official publication
of the Texas Folklore Society.
Owens has a master’s degree from
the University of Iowa, and is
working toward his doctor’s degree
at the same place. He has been
at A. & M. for three years, during
which time he has recorded the
“folk” music of the Aggies. Among
his collection is the beautiful “Sil
ver Taps” played in harmony by
the bugles, as well as “Home Sweet
Home,” played from the Academic
Building, and the Band “fish” ver
sion of “Silent Night”, sung here
each Christmas season.
(Another article will appear in
an early issue of The Battalion
concerning the stories behind the
collecting of Mr. Owens’ records.)

'Batf Editor Offers To Hold Coats In
Harvard-Yale Duel Over r Oomph GaV
Battalion editor Bill Murray says
he’ll hold the coats in the pending
Yale-Harvard editors’ duel over
Ann Sheridan.
The sons of Eli have threatened
to shed blood over the slur cast on
Ann Sheridan, red-haired “oomph
girl,” by the Harvard university
Lampoon.
Yale-Harvard hostilities are per
ennial but the Lampoon’s choice of
Miss Sheridan as the “movie act
ress most unlikely to succeed” in
cited the Yale men to a frenzy. A
stormy session was held on the
campus by the board of the Yale
Record and afterward, Roy S.
Fox Jr., the Record’s editor, sent
a telegram to J. Sussell Bowie, edi

him to a duel.

womanhood and the American ideal

have appeared with it here last
December had it not been for an
other engagement. It is said that
she could have enjoyed success
without limit, had it not been for
the fact that she preferred a
private life to that of a profession

sung with the Boston Symphony
and, according to authority, could

John C. Nemiah, retiring chairman
of the Record, messaged her:
“Representing the Yale undergrad
uate body, I am enraged at Har
vard’s scurrilous attitude toward
you and your charms. I would like
to show you that Yale men are
yours. Will you come to the Yale
junior prom as my guest. I and
2000 other admirers hope with all
our hearts that you will accept.”

Anyone wanting to try for
the freshman baseball team
