Baylor University is desperately trying - to bolster its
school spirit for the game tomorrow and the school with the
fourth-ranked team in the nation—now tied for tenth—has a
writer on The Skiff who has his own opinion about girls and
shorts.
Baylor
As might be expected, the Bears are making a desperate attempt
to bolster their “spirit” before the game. Of all things, they are having
a “Hex the Aggies” crazy hat contest, sponsored by the sophomore
Spirit Committee. The hats are to be worn this week and be made to
reflect school spirit.
It’s about time they tried something new. Their poor old bear
mascot has about “had it” from being stolen and hidden by Baylor
students.
Tom Williams writes in the Lariat, school newspaper, that “the
best team lost at Kyle Field.”
He says the torrential rain and wind ruined the TCU attack while
it helped the Aggies “power-line assault plays.” One of the reasons he
gave for the Bears wanting to beat the Ags was “because they upset
the Frogs”.
Bet the Frogs didn’t know that the Bears wanted to be so
“buddy-buddy” with them. The Frogs probably won’t be bothered
too much when Baylor loses.
TCU
At TCU, nobody is very mad about Saturday’s game but it def
initely seems that Jim Hendricks, editor of the TCU Skiff has gone
mad.
He writes: “Lots of girls who wear shorts shouldn’t. Some who
don’t should. And “drunks at football games make us thirsty.”

DATELINE
AYRSHIRE
By
Ken George
Some mighty interesting things
happened after the U. of H. game
week-end before last.
Bob Balhorn, 1st Sgt. of Squad
ron 3, received a telegram which
stated—“Mr. Balhorn Sir, most un
fortunate catastrophe, car broken
down must take bus, will arrive
10 o’clock. No excuse Sir. Signed:
Fishes Jerry Atkins, Allen Mar-
burger and Ed Tinnin.
Also, as a direct result of
the Ag’gie-Cougar High game
came this excerpt from a col
umnist in one of the Houston
papers. “This was no tooth
less Aggie tiger. This was
Bear Bryant’s musyled giant,
ranked among the nation’s best
headed with the swoosh of
rocket power toward the top.
It was this Big Team that the
UH grappled with, tore into,
and with pressure bursting
and bellowing at superhuman
dimensions, flung them back
while a whole stadium gasp
ed.” Boy what copy! This
gent better lay off them
‘Wheaties’ and get himself
some ‘All-Bran’. Jack Valenti
is the writer’s name, you find
out in the paper.
A young lass lost her purse at
the TCU game Saturday and prob
ably had a hard time getting
home. She is Shirley Lawrie of
Grayburg, Tex. Campus Security
office reported the contents being
among some twenty other things,
a round trip ticket to Houston.
Shirley wasn’t alone as far as los
ing things, there were five wo
men’s hats, and six purses, also
for women turned in to the KK’s.
We won’t mention his name
but a certain basketball play
er, who happens to be very
tall and also a Yankee, got the
fright of his life one night
last week. This here Yankee
had never seen a Armadillo
before, so some of his round-
ball buddies put one in his shoe
box to see what would happen.
Well, this here Yankee opened
the box and when the Arma
dillo jumped out, the Yankee
did tod—out of Ills shoes that
is. The report we got was he
left his shoes completely. He
said, “I didn’t know but what
the varmit might bite.”
Some of you Old Army Aggies
were done wrong last Friday night.
About 12 p.m. Friday night
the yell practice was in full swing
and so were the KK’s. As most of
you know the TCU midnight yell
practice was perhaps the largest
cite ^ever held and consequently,
there were a lot of cars. So many
in fact, that many people parked
anywhere they could. Well the
KK’s being ever on the look-out
for a parking violation, gave out
a good many tickets.
There just ain’t no justice!

Adlai Vetoed
Pension Raise
“Senator Kefauver, commenting
on Stevenson’s veto in Illinois of a
10 per cent increase in old age bene
fits, said:
“‘Mr. Stevenson says he vetoed
the bill because the Legislature did
not provide funds to finance it But
the fact is that Mr. Stevenson also
vetoed an amendment which would
have provided $14 million to pay
for the increased cost of old age
pensions.’ ”
