News
By Pat Morley
outcome of this little error, plus
the times I reneged, we thoughtful
ly delete the rest'of this sad tale.
Your Women’s Editor hopefully
dedicates this to all the feminine
members of the community who’d
like to see more personal chit
chat just for us girls. Don’t be like
some of the uncooperative ladies
of College Station. Take a tip
from the Bridge Club, and help us
cover the news.
As I sobbed as I left the club
meeting, “How about some news?”
You know what’s wrong with the Batt? No student wife
news—no gossip column.
That’s what they said around the campus before the
Official Paper of Texas A&M College And College Station
employed a women’s editor. What’s worse, they’re still saying
it.
Most of the fairer sex around these parts are somewhat
aloof from the sordid business of collecting and publishing
the news. One club, however—one real gem of a society for
gathering news—is the Veteran’s Wives Bridge Club, which
meets every Thursday evening at the MSC.
The following is an account,-f
from entrance to exit, of the ease
and polish with which your Wo
men’s Editor compiles news for
“The Last Word.”
“Hi girls!” (Sayd I)
Eighty accusing eyes swing to
ward the reporter.
“Where was the column this
week?” chorus ten tables of poised,
well-groomed student wives.
“Der,” (an evasive answer.)
“What?” snarl a host of delicate
throats.
“Er, I mean, that’s what I came
to see you about tonight . . . the
column.”
“Don’t know a thing,” say the
voices in a monotone, and their
eyes return to small fans of play
ing cards.
Slinking into a chair at a table
with Mary Fran Ballard, Carrie
Lee Young, and Nell Johnson, the
now-forgotten journalist sneaks a
pencil and notebook into her lap.
“One club,” says Mary Fran.
“I pass,” sighs Carrie Lee.
“Two clubs!” smiles Nell.
“Say, did you go to the bar
becue Dr. Kennedy gave last Sat
urday?” T quip pertly.
An unidentified spike-heel is
placed squarely on my corn, and 1
mutter something under my breath.
“What’d you say?” (very men
acing.)
With my biggest smile, I say, “I
said I hope you’re doing well.”
“Three clubs” laughs Mary Fran.
“By,” sobs Carrie Lee.
“Four clubs!” shrieks Nell.
“Well, isn’t that the cutest idea
Mary Parker has—putting match
ing costume pins on each cuff of
her glenn plaid suit!” (That’s me,
again.)
Hostess, rushing up just in time
to stop my partner from throwing
the deck of cards in my face,
throws the deck of cards in my
face. Placing a well-manicured fin
gernail on the tip of my nose, Mrs.
Hostess says sweetly, “If you don’t
hush up, and play your cards . . .”
(her voice is so choked with, emo
tion at this point that she connot
continue.)
“AND, furthermore, we’d like to
see a little women’s news in that
paper!”
To spare you, read reader, the
Jinx
(Continued from Page 1)
The only thing sure about the
backfield defense is that Charlie
McDonald and Yale Lary will start
at their regular positions, left half
back and safety respectively.
An even greater problem to be
solved by the young Aggie mentor
is to get his offense on the roll to
win his first conference victory of
the season.
Aggie Fullback Bob Smith will
also be out to stop a jinx that has
kept him from scoring against
Rice.
The old reliables like Jack Little,
Sam Moses, Elo Nohavitza, Jaro
Netardus, Charlie Hodge, Marshall
Rush, and Hugh Meyer continue to
hold up the A&M forward wall.
These boys have fought against
greater odds and fresher ball play
ers all year but have, continued to
stay in there week after week.
Jack Little, Cadet tackle, is be
ing slated for All-American hon
ors and could quite easily win the
honored mythical title. Little has
been described as one of the best
professional football prospects in
the SWC.
The big spark in the offense will
be lit by the El Campo Flash Glen
Lippman. Lippman is the leading-
ball carrier in the conference and
seems destined to improve his rec
ord against the unfortunate Rice
lads.

club away from home as they have been in the Ozarks so
SMU should collect their first conference win.
Flingin’ Fred Benners should have his arm warmed up
after a rest last week and raise his already high pitching aver
age. The Hog aerial defense has been up to par this year and
Ponies should fly over their heads flashing that great SMU
passing circus.
Arkansas beat the Longhorns and the Aggies up in Fay
etteville, but were stopped by
Baylor and Rice away from

Oldest Texas -
Civil War Vet
Plans Party
Franklin, Nov. 16 — CP) — Col.
Walter W. Williams, the oldest
Texas veteran of the Civil War,
will celebrate his 109th birthday
Sunday.
His birthday is actually Nov. 14,
but the party was planned for
Sunday so many of his 125 direct
descendants could help him cele-.
brate. y *
A barbecue and a basket lunch
will be served at his ranch home
14 miles south of here.
Williams and his wife live on the
farm alone. They raise a few
cattle and turkeys.
The Confederate veteran claims
his long life is due to the results
of living simply and spending as
much time as possible in the open.
HELP! HELP!
Have you waked up screaming in the
middle of the night lately, dreaming there
were life insurance men all around you
and no avenue of escape? Banish these
nightmarish fears immediately: fortify
yourself with the best answer an Aggie
could ever have for an insurance man—

Rush.”—Adv.

The game is rated a toss-up
by the experts, but we think
the home field should give the
Red.and Blue of SMU the vic
tory margin.
Baylor 21, Wake Forest 7
The SWC has a good intersect
ional this season, Baylor is rated
number ten in the nation, and the
game is being played at Waco
which all adds up to a, Bruin vie-
tory.
The winner of this battle will be
in the running for a bowl bid,
since both teams have had a good
season.
In the Southern Conference the
Deacons have won five and lost
two while scoring 174 points to
their opponents 73.
Larry Isbell’s master signal call
ing should be the guiding light for
the Bears who are not out of the
SWC race yet.
The Bears should make it two in
a row over the Deacons who they
defeated in the Dixie Bowl in 1949.

But a smile is indispens
able! For thankfulness and
happiness are cut from the
same fabric. Thankfulness
is really happiness with a
sense of direction. It is hap
piness that traces its source
to the goodness of God, and
expresses its destiny in
humble reverence.
The smile of a thankful
Christian is the natural
symbol of Thanksgiving.
And it explains the mean
ing of this sacred Day:
GOD HAS SMILED ON
US!
THE CHURCH FOR ALL . . .
ALL FOR THE CHURCH
The Church is the greatest fac
tor on earth for the building of
character and good citizenship. It
_is a storehouse of spiritual values.
Without a strong Church, neither
democracy nor civilization can
survive. There are four sound
reasons why every person should
attend services regularly and sup
port the Church. They are: (1)
For his own sake. (2) For his
children's sake. (3) For the sake
of his community and nation. (4)
For the sake of the Church itself,
which needs his moral and ma
terial support. Plan to go to
church regularly and read your
Bible daily.
