Welcome TCU Students
rpCU STUDENTS, we welcome you to our
campus.
It is not just a halfhearted welcome that
dies on our lips as soon as we have said it.
We are sincere.
A couple of weeks ago a lot of us got a
taste of what it means to be “kings for a
day” on somebody else’s campus. That was
our first game of the season against the
University of Houston in Houston.
And now we have the opportunity to
show the same spirit of hospitality and
sportsmanship we have enjoyed on your
campus in the past.
However, this is not a welcome that
Pogo’s Success Is
T AST NIGHT about 700 students and Col-
^ lege Station residents said “Howdy” to a
man who has come a long way in the cartoon
profession..He is Walt Kelly.
Demonstrating the finest spirit of coop
eration throughout his stay, Kelly proved to
be one of the best entertainers on the campus
this fall. We think he’ll hold the record “Mr.
Cooperation-Plus” here for a long time.
The reason why is evident.
Kelly shows in his Pogo strip, he under
stands people. He understands human nature,
the instincts which drive and direct us.
His last drawing on the stage was for a
springs solely from the motive of reciproca
tion.
Between TCU and A&M there has been
an increased effort to improve the friend
ship and cooperation we both know can
exist.
Relations could be allowed to grow worse
and lax, or our energies can continue to be
directed into channels of good will. •
We prefer the latter course.
Our Student Body, both through leaders
and through individuals, have expressed
their endorsement of this policy of friend
ship and welcome.
Not only are you welcome for this week
end, but anytime you are on our campus.
In Understanding
boy who was unable to attend. His father
had died recently. Friends of the boy, who
also is named Walt, asked he draw a cartoon
for him. It was the first time in the eight
hours Kelly had been on the campus, that
he choked.
His understanding of us, is explained
most easily by Kelly himself. He told the
attentive and responsive crowd, “T h e
things Pogo and his friends do, you do.
It’s a way at looking at oneself and wonder
ing.”
Keep them wondering Pogo, we’re for
you.
Graves-McKown Battle
(Continued from Page 1)
The Cadets will counter with
a T and split-T formation. Last
weekend the Aggies faced a single
wing and double wing offense and
were soundly trounced, while the
TCU eleven stopped the split-T
attack of the Razorbacks effect
ively.
Most of the Horned Frogs of
fense depends on a potent passing
attack, while the Aggies who also
have a gobd passing game, have
made most of their touchdowns on
the ground.
Neither squad can boast of their
defensive platoon, although the
TCU ball-toppers haven’t given
up as many yards or touchdowns
as the Cadets.
The game will be a battle of
the Ray’s, Ray Graves, quarter-
backing the Farmers and Ray Mc-
Kown calling signals for the Honi
ed Frogs. Graves is eighth in the
nation in total offense, while Mc-
Kown if fifth.
Graves is second in the nation
in passing while McKown is in
seventh position although he has
mox*c yardage than the Aggie ace.
The Aggies have the lowest
average gain passing in the SWC
while the Horned Frogs have the
best. The Cadets have also given
up more yardage in the air per
team than any SWC school.
The TCU defense has the second
best aerial defense in the confer
ence according to statistics, limit
ing their foes to 75 yards per
game.
The Homed Frogs have the
best per game defense in the SWC
while the Aggies have the worst.
The TCU squad has allowed their
rivals only 200 yards per contest
while the Cadets have let their
foes have 330 yards per tilt.
There will probably be a near
capacity crowd at the game, since
the Texas Arkansas game will be
the only other afternoon competi
tion.
The Horned Frogs have been
picked as favorites in the game,
most writers favoring them by
two touchdowns.
Everything points to a good bat
tle with plenty of action from both
squads, and an individual duel be
tween two of the best quarter
backs in the nation.

Few Rooms Here
(Continued from Page 1)
Male students, say the Aggies,
probably will be able to find rooms
in A&M dormitories. Female stu
dents are tactfully not mentioned.
The TCU band, which played for
the Eisenhower rally Wednesday
morning at the T—P Reservation'
and will perform a like service for
Stephenson this afternoon, has a
few tricks scheduled for the Ag
gies.
The band, under direction of
Lewis Gillis, will introduce an ori
ginal number between halves at
the football game. The number is
“University Drive” and will be
performed in swing formation.
Band to Play
A bus leaves at 7 a. m. tomorrow
morning to take the band to Col
lege Station, where they will toot
for a pep rally behind the Aggie
MSC.
TCU head yell leader Ken Jones
is planning some intricate card
routines to be performed during
the game.
A great variety of buses have
been chartered for the trip, with
one of the most popular package
excursions being that of Zeke
Handler, whose fleet departs from
downtown tomorrow morning. Zeke
offers a chicken dinner and white-
coated waiters, all for $12.50 and
reservations are available.
The Frog footballers are in fine
shape for the Aggie argument, the
48th in a series, except for the ab
sence of John Harville, key wing-
back.
Ray McKown, currently lead
ing the Southwest Conference in
total offense, will be back at the
TCU helm after sitting out the
Trinity affair.

6 Sniper’ Scores
Hit; Plugs Babes
Student Life Committee
Holds Meeting Monday
By JERRY BENNETT
Battalion Amusements Editor
“The Sniper” starring Arthur
Franz, Adolphe Menjou, and
Marie Windsor —Columbia Cam
pus Theater.)
“The Sniper” takes a few pot
shots at an unusual plot and scores
a bulls eye with a top-notcfi thril
ler.
Although the story’s basic theme
may seem exasperating to mem
bers of the male population, and
Aggies in particular, it is the
film’s novel approach to the bat
tle of the sexes that provides the
interest.
Arthur Franz portrays an anti
social screwball who can’t get
along with women. Frustrated be
cause of his unpopularity with the
opposite sex, he starts picking
them off from roof tops with a
high powered telescopic rifle. The
sport soon becomes such fun that
Aihhur even bags an unsuspecting
exti'a painting a smoke stack high
above the city’s sti'eets.
Although “The Sniper” is an
other of the many psychological
movies that have flooded the cin
ema market for the past several
yeai’s, it avoids the usual stock
coxm on which many of these films
ai - e fed. The stox-y is told in al
most straight documentax-y form
with no leather couches, neux’otic
women, or leering psychiatrists to
spoil the film’s aim.
Scenes which appear as if they
were photogx-aphed through. Fx’anz’
telescopic sight as he selects each
victim add suspense to the fast
moving film. One of the most sus
penseful scenes comes when Fx^anz
tuxns his sights on a couple em-
bi’acing in a good night kiss.
The Student Life Committee will
hold its first meeting of the year
Monday, Oct. 20 at 4 p.m. in
the Student Senate Chamber of
the MSC, according to C. G.
(Spike) White, seex-etary of the
committee.
f
Their first step of the meeting
will be to select the best time for
futux-e meeting.
Orientation of xxew membex-s
and appointment of committees
will be conducted by J. H. Sor
rels, chairman.
Explanation of funds contx'olled
by the Student Life Committee
and a repox-t of the Business Com
mittee will be given by White.
John Samuels, vice-px*esident of
the MSC Council, is scheduled to
infox-m the committee on the px - o-
posed change of the Activity
Point-System concerning the MSC
Council.
Proposed Amendment
Another important matter to be
discussed is the proposed amend
ment to the constitution to allow
the selection of Who’s Who at any
time of the year.
Dan Russell of the Sociology De
partment will lead discussion in
possibility of raising funds for
the Student Air Fund.
The last point scheduled fox-
discussion during the meeting is
the consideration of continuation
of the awarding of Aggie Activity
Appreciation Tickets which will be
conducted by White.
