There may be a few million Jonses
in the rmted Suites- but there are
not many dutiable of displaying such
loot bail ability as did Ralph and Mush
last Friday at New Orleans.
Despite their splendid work, the
Loyolu Wolves, flashing their vaunted
aerial game; down Jack Meagher's
Itice Owls, til! to Ik If tile likeable
Meagher had had fourteen or fifteen
more men ol the calibre of those two
mentioned above, t lift score might
have been very, very different,
The' gaine was closer than the score
would indicate. The New Orleans
bunch made their five touchdown#
through the use of their (treat aerial
piny, aided by lucky breaks that lwiee
gave them possession ol' the pigskin
not Kb far from the Hlee goal line.
Captain Hush Jones of the Blue and
Gray, aided materially in over three-
fotirths of the tackles made during
the entire battle. Italpli, of the same
name, shone 111 the Owl defensive
play, lie had to be taken out of the
game In the final settn. however, with
iiri Injured leg. |
I'lie wiiir was waged on l.oyola i
rniversiiy's much-praised Illuminated
gridiron, al night. Over H.niiu funs
were on hand for the offering. And

of six titlonipled passes, thereby
'gaining a total nf seventy live yards,
which, at t lie same time paved the
way for two touchdowns.
Several limes were the Ouls deep
down ill the territory id' the New Or-
j leans lads but each lime did they
lack the punch in carry the ball
across tin goal line. IInvv«ver, much
; promise was shown by the Houston
lerew and Oaeli Meagher of the
i| feathered flock, was given an excel
lenl chalice to see Ills charges under
lire Which will help a great deal in
•tin strengthening (if the Owl eleven

Minis find Morgan made ii good
showing at the tackle posts for the
Itice machine, after they had been
sent hi union to relieve "Tiny" Wil
lliihis and Theron (iroen. Williams
|and tireeii, who started for the lilue
land ilrny, were not at their best, and
• were continually taken out of plays,
l.oynlu's hospitality was very great,
although lhey ptif Business before

upon their arrival at the station. The

All Southwest Conference teams
have now made some sort of begin-
ning for tbe season. The Baylor I
Bears kept up their great work Sat-
urday by defeating the Denton Uul,ld „trld,ns forward are being
Teachers, 32-0. With no trouble what-jnuwlt, b>, bot„ the lre,aml var.
soever, the Bruins, led by Jake WII-, Blty teniJ,s H(1tm(lH, according to Ed
son, who gives promise of being a Con-
ference star because of his passing
and punting, walked over the Teach-
ers from the first whistle to the laRt.
Virgil QlUlland let down quite a bit,
whether through a desire to save
himself for better games was not tip-
parent. McRlreath, Boochey, Koch
and WRcher were good on the pass-
ing and offensive.
The Aggies defeated the .Southwest-
ern Pirates, 54-7. Since this, their
opening game was rather easy, It had
no partlculad significance or indica-
tion us to what may be expected from
the Farmers this year. The entire
squad was run In.
Texas University showed a mighty
poor line In Its game with St. F.d-
wurds, though the Steers did pull out
with a KI-0 victory. ILtt'elield'H Long-
horns again demonstrated their pos-
session of a star quarterback in Dex-
ter Shelley, He was ably asstsred by
Kmerson and Peterson. Ransom
starred for the Fighting Saints.
Texas Christian i'nlverstty do
Beckenbach, net coach at the Insti-
tute. A match between the Green
Owls and the ttlco team proper la
slated for the near future, and some
are whispering that the slimes will
win.
The varsity squad has suffered
severe losses fro the coming season,
having lost such stars us Morris Ap-
pell. Johnny Logan, Walter Prude
and Black. One who made an out-
standing , sowing ln\ Kasteru and
other tennis tournaments this sum-
mer remains, however, in the person
of one,.lake Hess. Chtirlle Schwartz
and Davidson showed well for the
Ponies.
Arkansas found an easy time of it
in her game with Ozark College with
a score of 37-0. Sehooilover, Dale,
Moore, Chambers led the first, string,
who went out at the end of the |ialf
and guve the second team a chance to
show their stuff.
and Rex White are alto among those
doing exceptionally well, and expected
to shine during the coming season.
Further Owl players Include Horace
Barnes, Joe Mistretta, Ed McCarthy
and Tom McLeary.
According to a recent announce-
ment the varsity Is scheduled to clash
with Oklahoma along about November
first. There will probably be a few
practice affairs with such teams a*
those of the local high schools and
that of tbe River Was country club
before that date.
Among freshman squad members
are found such stars as Winthrop
Carter and Henry Holden. formerly
of San Jacinto High School of this
city, "Doc" Barr of Dallas, also for-
merly a prominent contender in Inter
scholastic league circles; and Quinn
Connelley of Fort Worth, who is also
adept at tbe picskin chasing game.
About a month from now the slimes
are expected to clash with the Terrell
prep school team from North Texas,
In what Is expected to be a close
series.
MISS BARBOUR BACK
Miss Frieda Barbour, '37, has re-
turned from New York, where she at-
tended the College of Physicians and
Surgeons at Columbia University. Miss
Barbour completed her M. A. degree
In that institution and Is now as-
sisting Drs, Taylor & Taylor of tills
city.
The following teams will play next

AT YOUR SERVICE
t
f+*.
tHROUGHOUT the
history of the world,
happiness and prog-
ress have been based on
Service. No institution in
our present-day civiliza-
tion plays so vkally impor-
tant a part as do our trans-
portation agencies — and
our railroads still are, and
must continue to be, by far
the most important trans-
portation factor.
That is the reason rail-
road men and women,
generally, are such wonderfully fine people—because they
have the knowledge that they are engaged in providing a
service that is both necessary and very much worth while.
In no other occupation is there greater opportunity for
genuine service.
Therefore, it must of necessity follow, that the most
successful and progressive railroads are manned by em-
ployes who are most loyal, aggressive and progressive. It
also follows that those railroads whose employes possess
the finest esprit de corps, the highest morale, the greatest
loyalty and aggressiveness, automatically become the Itiost
progressive and successful.
Missouri Pacific Lines and Missouri Pacific employes
both are fortunate. The entire system is manned by one
of the finest organizations in the history of the world—
and the Missouri Pacific army of 63,000 employes is fol-
lowing the standard of a successful and progressive Amer-
ican institution.
Result—the public benefits almost beyond measure.
Every individual in the organization is fully aware of the
importance of team work and there are few armies—even
military organizations—that can exhibit the singleness of
purpose; the effectiveness of concerted attack; the unani-
mous joy in achievement that motivates the Missouri
Pacific Lines army.
Shippers and travelers who have discovered these things
have benefited and profited. Some have discovered them
accidentally. Others have purposely sought to test out the
Missouri Pacific Army. Without exception the army has
been found ready and willing to attack the largest or the
smallest problem of the shipper and the traveler in order
that the Missouri Pacific Lines might be of greatest pos-
sible service and so live up to the motto that is emblazoned
on its banners and written indelibly in the hearts of all—
A Service Institution.
The Missouri Pacific Lines Army is proud of its railroad
and the railroad is proud of its army. Both seek greater
opportunities to be of service.
I solicit your co-operation and assistance.
