First Game of
Season
The Owls ushered In the lootball
season Saturday at Rice Held with a
26-0 victory over Stephen F. Austin
Teachers College. An end was pointed
to the scarcity of reserves which has
been long hampering Coach J. W.
Heisman when he was able to put
three full teams on the field in the
cowm of the game. The old men,
mixed in on all three teams," gave
steadiness to the number of new men
in the line-up.
The first team, led by Captajn Un-
derwood, played the first quarter with
a second eleven, headed by Hochuli,
taking up the gage of combat in the
ensuing chapter. Crain captained the
third team which played the third
quarter until the substitution of the
first squad in a body. The second
team returned in the middle of the
final quarter and finished the battle.
Dan Moody, the democratic nominee
for governor, opened the game and
the red-headed champion of the peo-
ple's rights kicked the ball almost as
far as he did the Ferguson regime.
Inexperience' Evident
Green linemen on the first team
showed the effects of inexperience in
the first stages of the game, being
unable to get their offense working
smoothly until the last of the quar-
ter. The second eleven, with its prac-
tically veteran back field functioning
well, pulverized the jaded pedagogues
for two touchdowns.
The first was scored on a march
down the field from the enemy's 35-
yard line. Plunges by Hochuli and
Herting netted two first downs and
Hochuli went through 2 yards for the
touchdown.
The second was scored later in the
same period when Emil Mucke recov-
ered a fumble by White on the visi-
tors' 22-yard line. Hochuli and Hert-
ing advanced the ball to the 2-yard
line. After 5 yards were lost on a
bad pass from center, Bennett crashed
over for the score.
Two other touchdowns were scored
in the fourth quarter by Davis, who
provided the sensation of the game.
Cutting back on off tackle plays, he
dodged past the secondary defense for
long gains. With a little more confer-
ence experience he should be one of
the best ball toters in the circuit.
Excellent Material
A wealth of excellent material was
uncovered in Davis, Shroeder, Allnoch,
Bennett, Masterson and others in the
back field, who, with Herting, Hochuli,
Qgg and Comstock, should be the equal
of any in the conference after a little
more varsity experience.
Coach Bedenk Will have plenty of
good material to build up a powerful
line around Captain Underwood, judg-
ing by the promising play of Car-
michael, Berger, Knipple, Myers, San
Giovanni, Cananf and the other new
men.
The chief problem now troubling
the coaches is the greenness and lack
of experience of the sophomores and
other newcomers On the team. This
handicap will be reduced by hard fight
and play in the pre-conference games.
Fullback Bridges of the Austin team
■played an excellent game, his good
work contributing in the main to the
surprisingly stubborn resistence the
Teachers put«pnp in t"he first of the
game. Captain Martlne at half and
Burke at end also turned in good
games for the visitors.
Miss Sara Elizabeth Waller has gone
to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to study at the
yniversity of Alabama for the winter.

An illustrious Owl has disappeared.
Another day and no word has arrived
as to the whereabouts of the Singing
Collegian. Jack Major is the latest
person to be added to the list of those
missing. The Glee Club is frankly
worried. Fears that some designing
manager has persuaded Jack to remain
on the Gypsy trail are rife.
Interviews with the various mem-
bers of the Glee Club all bring the
same answer. "We don't know."

Applied to improve our everyday illumination.
When the sun goes down
More than 350,000,000 incandescent lamps, with a
combined light of nine billion candlepower, make
city streets, stores, and homes brighter than ever
before.
In bungalow or mansion, workshop or factory,
dormitory or auditorium, there is no excuse for
poor illumination. We have cheaper and better
lighting in the electric lamp than ever before; for
the dollar that bought 1,115 candlepower-hours of
light with the carbon-filament lamps of 1886,
now buys 16,200 candlepower-hours of light with
the MAZDA lamps.
Not only more light, but correctly applied light, is
the order of the day. The electric lamp, with its
flameless yet highly concentrated light source,
lends itself ideally to reflectors, shades, and screens.
It is controlled light—safe light. And illumina-
tion becomes an exact science.
During college days and in after life, correct light-
ing must ever be of paramount importance to the
college man and woman. Good lighting is the
worthy handmaiden of culture and progress.
The General Electric
Company is the world'*
largest manufacturer of
Incandescent lamps. And
behind the G-E MAZDA
lamps are vast research
laboratories dedicated
to cheaper and better
electric ilium ination, and
to the conservation of
eyesight.
