Local Scout Program Grows;
Chest Fund Support Asked
Participants in the Boy Scout
program in the Bryan-College Sta
tion community will have doubled
by Jan. 1 if present goals are ach
ieved.
On Jan. 1, 1948 there were 408
participants, including Cubs,
Scouts, Explorers and adult Scout-
ers, according to statistics compil
ed by District Chairman Dr. H. W.
Barlow. A year later this number
had increased to 486. It climbed to
660 in 1950, to 656 in 1951, and
by January is expected to reach
838.
The total number of troop and
den units has shown a similar in

“The dollar cost per boy is very
low, and will even lower as the
number of individuals increase,”
Barlow pointed out. “In 1948, with
408 participants, the cost for the
year as $22 for each boy. Last
year this had dropped to $16.70,
and is expected to be only $12.00
for 1952.
This low per capita cost is pos
sible because bulk of the work
is carried on by volunteer adult
Scouters. Currently there are 243
adults spending some part of their
time every month without com
pensation, and frequently at some
personal expense, in order to ren
der a service to the community
through Boy Scout work, accord
ing to Brazos District committee
records.
Expenses Explained
Expenses are for a full time,
trained field executive who works
with the boys and with the adult
leaders to carry on an effective,
efficient program, plus necessary
A&M Chess Club
Meets Tuesday
The newly organized A&M Chess
Club will hold its second meeting
Tuesday night at 7:30 in the MSC
Senate Chamber, Stan Wood, act
ing chairman, announced this
morning.
Officers are to be elected, regu
lar games scheduled, and arrange
ments for possible intercollegiate
matches are to be discussed at the
meeting, Wood said.
“We had twelve at our first
meeting and we want to extend
an invitation to all interested stu
dents, faculty members, and per
sons in the college community,”
Wood said.
administrative expenses, which is
handled through the council office
in Houston. Long experience has
proved the necessity and efficiency
of the council organization, Bar-
low emphasized.
The Boy Scout program is fin
anced through several sources. Each
boy contributes a nominal weekly
amount as his dues to his troops.
Each troop receives assistance
from a sponsoring organization.
A number of people in the program
contribute to the work on a sus
taining membership basis, paying
a minimum of $12 per year. The
Community Chest contributes
funds, the amount being determin
ed by the community’s fair share
of all expenses based on the boy
population in Scouting.
Brazos Has 2.6
Brazos district has 2.6 per cent
of the actual Scout membership
in the Houston area, and 3.6 per
cent of the eligible boys in the
Council. The average of these two
figures is 3.1 per cent. On the
basis of the area council budget
of $246,302, the Brazos district
fair share is 3.1 per cent of that
amount, or $7,636, the amount
asked of the Community Chests.
The budget was arrived at in
conference of a group of influential
adult volunteer leaders, headed by
J. Frank Watts of the Humble Oil
and Refining Company. Included
on the committee from the Bryan-
College Station area were M. E.
Adams, Ben Daniel, Roland Dansby,
E. R. Bryant, and Mr. Barlow.
“Voluntary response of repre
sentative citizens in both commun
ities indicates whole-hearted ac
ceptance of the Boy Scout pro
gram,” said Dr. Barlow. “There
Seems to be no question of the im
portance of the work or the vali
dity of the amount asked of the
Community Chest.”

and Truman to be elected as a
compromise candidate.
This talk is only in the feeler
stage at this time. Some doubt it
can be pulled off. Some believe if
the Southern delegates take part
in the national convention—then
they will be bound to accept the
majority rule.
“Unless such a move can be
made within the framework of our
state democratic organizations and
election systems,” one governor
said, “it won’t work. Whatever is
done will have to be done under
the party emblem because the peo
ple aren’t interested in a ‘third
party/ ”
But another said: “Our state
democratic parties are the demo
cratic party. Each state is autono
mous. Whatever we do within our
own state organizations is the
action of the democratic party so
far as we are concerned.”
Political Revolt Is Stirring
But no matter what form the
strategy takes, the fact remains
that a political revolt against Mr.
Truman is stirring again in the
south. No one who travels through
the area can fail to see it and feel
it.
One veteran on the Texas politi
cal scene said: “Political activity
in the state is starting six months
earlier than I’ve ever known it to
start before. The national election
is doing it.”
Southerners agree that despite
the anti-Truman feeling that ex
ists in the south, the President
has a vast reservoir of strength
which would be difficult to over
run.
The core of this strength lies in
the historic fact that most south
erners vote the straight democra
tic ticket in all elections. They
can’t be persuaded easily to jump
the party. Then there are federal
workers, farmers, union men and
others genuinely content with the
leadership Mr. Truman has given
them.
One Georgian put it this way:
“Mr. Truman has got everybody
against him but the people and
these people who underestimate
him are going to be fooled like
they were in 1948.”
it is generally agreed that if
Mr. Truman’s name is on the bal
lot the emblem of the demhcratic
rooster—then he will be a hard
man to beat in the south.
Nevertheless, the effort is cer
tain to be made if Mr. Truman is
a candidate.
The reasons for this anti-Tru
man feeling stems from many
things according to southerners.
One man said: “This feeling isn’t
against Mr. Truman as a man.
He’s just the symbol of a lot of
things we don’t like.”
Opposed to Civil Rights Stand
The basis of the opposition, of
course, is the President’s firm
stand for civil rights legislation to
deal with lynching, segregation,
poll taxes, and fair employment
practices. Southerners generally
think these are problems for the
state and not the federal govern
ment.
But these other reasons were
listed during the course of this
survey: The “mink coat” and RFC
scandal; high taxes and the cost of
government; the government’s pos
ition that off-shore oil reserves
belong to the federal government
and not the states; a belief that
Mr. Truman is being dominated
by democrats from the industrial
states; a belief that he is encourag
ing federal encroachment on state’s
rights; a feeling that “the people
just want a change.”
At any rate, what the south
does in next year’s presidential
election will begin to emerge when
the south knows what Mr. Truman
is going to do.

the iron grating of a water drain
age trap when he was blocked out
of bounds while trying to pass
from his end zone. He was able
to walk to the dressing room with
assistance.
The Mustangs marched seventy-
two yards to start the scoring in
the first period, only one play of
ten in the series involving a pass.
Norton made the last dozen
yards as he roared through a gap
ing hole in the left side of the Rice
line and Sammie Stollenwerck went
in and kicked the extra point.
The Owls evened it up on the
first maneuver of the second quar
ter as Johnson broke outside
SMU’s left tackle on a, hand-off
from Drake and ran twenty-seven
yards for the touchdown. It was
a 1-play drive, the Owls having
gotten possession of the ball on
the Mustang 27 following Powell’s
12-yard kick out of bounds.
; Benners thrilled the crowd in
the last two minutes as he came
in and completed five out of seven
passes to carry the Mustangs to
the Owl 22 from the SMU 26. His
last shot, tipped into the air by
a scramble of players, was caught
by Walker, but the Mustang re
ceiver was outside the end boun
dary. There was only one second
left in the half as the Owls took
the ball on downs.
Drake threw a long strike
straight down the middle to How-
ton, who took the ball on the Mus
tang 22 and sped untouched into
the end zone for a 62-yard touch
down play. Wright again kicked
goal.

Baylor 40, Texas Tech 20
Larry Isbell showed his team
mates how to do things in a hurry
Saturday, personally figuring in
the first three touchdowns as Bay
lor ripped upstart Texas Tech,
40-20.
Isbell, who completed 13 of 18
passes and played little more than
two quarters, sneaked one yard for
a tally and shot 10 and 9-yard
scoring passes to Ends Bob Trout
and Stanley Williams in the sec
ond quarter.
A 13-yard pass, Junior Arter-
burn to Bobby Cavazos, helped
move Tech goalward. Jim Turner

the 3 to shoot Tech into a 6-0
lead.
A blocked Tech punt, recovered
by Baylor End Bob Trout on the
Tech 1, gave the Bears’ a quick
third-quarter score as Francis
Davidson dived over for the first
touchdown of his varsity career.
Richard Parma powered over
from the 1 after another Tech
miscus, a fumble by Arterburn,
gave Baylor possession on Tech’s
27.
Jimmy Davenport tossed to Wil
liams, who streaked down the left
sideline, swerved to the right and
out-raced pursuers.
Bobby Cavazos, the lad who
scored thi*ee times against TCU
last week, turned in a brilliant
88-yard scamper, sweeping out
side right tackle and down the
right sideline, then cutting back
and sidestepping the Baylor safe
ty to break into the clear.
It appeared Isbell might be the
goat of the game in the early
minutes of the first period as ha
kicked the first time for only 2
yards and had his next punt block
ed by Freshman Ken Elmore on
Baylor’s 35.
