The first football game is past
now*- and people are rejoicing that
the team is one they ean depend
on. They lost to Killeen alright, but,
with another week’s practice under
their belts, the boys will really
show' these fans of Lampasas some-
thing. In spite of the fact that they
were beaten, by only one touchdown,
the boys showed that they had talent
that will be plenty good when it is
developed. The line held like no oth-
er Badger line in many years. They
were able to hold the Kangaroos
from start to finish though the score
was made around Lampasas’ left
end. The band turned! out almost full
force to support the Badgers in their
first game.. They were not alone in
their support of the team, however,
because a large number of fans were
present for the game. The band real-
ly put forth in their half-time form-
ation. Those blue and white uniforms
showed the ■blue and white Badgers
will be in there fighting throughout
the season. .
The swimming pool at Hancock
park has been turned over to the
USO .They will have charge of the
pooL from now until it' is closed
All service men will be able to
avail themselves of free swims with
suits and towels furnished. This
does not, however, exclude the pub-
lic. They may continue to use the
pool as in the past at the same
price. The pool will be open even-
ings and on Saturday and Sunday.
Four Yell Leaders
Elected Tuesday
In a short assembly Tuesday morn-
ing, the foiir yell leaders were elect-
ed. They are Houston ^Shroyer, Ford
Lockhart, Joyce Terry and LaFayne
Baxter.
After their election they led’ the
student body in a few yella, with
the help of Annie Jo Hunter, one of
last year’s leaders.

GOSSIP . . .
By Arthur Hooten
Ina Mae Brazeale likes to go
dancing out at the New Parkway,
especially when Cecil Hogan plays.
Patsy Gillen is good at double
dating. Two of her main victims
are Rueben Mathias and that cute
soldier from Camp Hood.
Logan Daniels can’t decide between
his o'ld flame from Ogle, Nellie
Logan, and the new one, Eula Mae
McCrea.
Now that Bobby Gholson has
moved away, I wonder if Norris
Vandergriff will get his algebra, and
if he does—how?
Muriel Hannis is a cute blonde
who is new in Lampasas high, but
she sure gets around! She already
has several of the juniors on her
trail.
Billy Procter was downhearted-
Friday. Her boy friend, Clayton
Porter, was leaving for the army.
- Melba McLean and Grady Bagby
Warahdine Walpole and Patsy Gil-
len are the twirlers leading the band
this year. Warahdine is dram major
and Patsy is drum majorette.
Flag bearers are Dorothy Lee Pat-
terson, Mary Dean Chafin and La
Fayne Baxter.
The band has about fifty mem-
bers this year. •
The short subject at the movie
Friday night on “Mr. (and Mrs.)
Blabbermouth,” was a story for all
true blooded American’s to take to
heart. It portrayed several little
scenes showing the fellow who is
always “popping off” about the gov-
ernment and his ideas' of the armed
forces. He is one of the most prev-
alent of the species of fifth col-
umnists. If you ask him, which
no 'one ever has to do, he will tell
you that in his opinion the army
and navy or whatever the discussion
is about, has been annihilated and
that we are fighting on borrowed
time. He is the fallow who is al-
ways susceptible to rumors or over-
heard confidential stories from peo-
ple who really know, they think.
He is the first to criticize the gov-
ernemnt and its leaders. He is like
the man at the football game, any-
thing that is don? is wrong, that
wasn’t the way he would have done
[it. These are the people we must
work toward quieting. They, in their
bragging, overhearing manner, are
the cause of many terrorizing false
rumors. No rumors can wipe out the
work of the slyly written V . . . —
that pops up in the most unexpected
places in the European war front.

The band played a number and sev-
eral yells were given.
The crowd called for the new
coach, Sam Fowler, to give a talk.
He said that to hear a pap squad
in giving. all' they had would give
the boys the right to win— and,
“Who are we to let them down?”
After some more yells the students
marched back to the gym where the

This is an open letter to men only.
If you are a male citizen of the
United States and your age is with-
in the present liimts of military
service, it is directed to you person-
ally, and you will want to read care-
fully the following facts which, from
now on, will be of vital importance
to you.
Daily, weekly, monthly, more and
more men are needed for our armed
forces, and from all indications, more
men are scheduled to be called in
October than in any previous thirty-
day period.
If you are a man between the ages
of 17 and '50, you should inquire
about the possibilities of service in'

duction—and you wfll have the sat-
is faction of knowing you volunteered
your services to your country.
One of the first and most im-
portant facts confronting the man
who. is undetided on whether to en-
list in the navy 1s the all-important
question of pay. The- base pay in
the navy—that is, for an apprentice
seaman—is the saine as that of a
private in the army. But a prbmotioh
and increase in pay is guaranteed
after the first two months of serv-
ice in the navy, for every man who
enlists as an apprentice seaman au-
tomatically becomes a seaman, sec-
ond class, which corresponds to the
army rating of private first class, -u.
Every navy recruit has a chance
of assignment to a navy trade school,
where each man can become an
pert in the trade for which he
shown himself best adapted.
The Seabees, navy construction
it, offers unusual opportunities.
Seabees automatically become
seaman, second class up<>n
tment .Many older married men,
if qualified in a skilled trade, will
be espec!ally interested in joining
the Scabees, but all men 17 to 50
are acceptable. ;
Age limits for service in the reg-
ular navy, the naval reserve and the
I Sea beds are from 17 to 50 and a
■ half. Single men from 17 to 30 are
eligible to join the regular naVy and i
serve six years, but all men from '

Some New Definitions
For Difficult Words
At last, - going the dictionary
bettpr, we are able to offer
dents some intelligible definitions for
some rather tough words. We hope
you will be able to understand them,
because if you don’t, we advise you
to refer to the nearest place of
mental correction.
Paper—Paper Is n substance; a
substance is a solid. A solid is some-
thing hard. Something that is hard
Ray |' is a girl’s head; therefore a girl’s
head is paper.
School—A school is full of students.
A school is an institution. A prison
is an institution. A prison is full
of prisoners. Therefore a school is
a prison full of prisoners.
Calendar—A calendar tells dates.
Dates are
thing you
sweet. I
sweet. If
a wonder. A wonder is a curiosity
therefore a calendar is a curiosity..
Basket-A basket is a container. | <*"• and d0"’1 think of anything
A container is used to carry water, ‘
Water is a liquid. A liquid is com-
posed of gases. Gases are something
