' Well, you cash customers (tlianks to
Lloyd Gregory for the appellation),
here we are back for another try at
editing a column. Last week's column
brought forth several sarcastic digs
concerning our mentality, but that at
least proves that someone reads the
column.
On looking over the opening game
schedule for some of the teams in the
conference Rice is the only team so
far to pick such a difficult opponent
for their opener.
Coach Dutch Meyer of T .C. U. (is
that better, Bill?) will send his boys
against the Daniel Baker Hill Billies to-
night at Brownwood. The Texas Long-
horns will tackle the Texas Tech Mat-
adors tomorrow night under the lights,
and although they are no setup they
Wa specialize in watch and jewelry
repairing. It will B. O. K. if from B.
O. Kreiter, Kress Bldg. Lobby.

do not present near as strong a team
as the Loyola Wolves.
The Southern Methodist University
Mustangs open tomorrow against the
North Texas State Teachers College
Eagles of Denton. Ray Morrison has
been going slow in early training to
avoid ftny possible injury, but the team
'is beginning to hit |i|m|,^r i,ii)nl||
The Texas Aggies, with Coach Ho|
mer Norton raving about several new-
comers, principally Pete Barber, soph-
omore tackle whom Norton claims is
All-American material, open with Sam
Houston State Teachers College from
Huntsville tomorrow.
About the Loyola game. Rice should
win over Loyoja tomorrow, but it will
not be by any such large score as some
people seem to think. The Wolves
have a powerful team and should put
up a real battle against the Owls. We
hate to try, to guess the scoro/but cer-
tain parties "might be mad if we did
not give them something to kid us
about. After all w# might be lucky,
so our guess is 13-0, with the Owls on
the long end of the score.
Some people seem to disagree with
our statement in last week's Thresher
that Rice would finish third or better
in the conference race, but we believe
that barring serious injury, particu-
larly to the linemen, Rice will finjgh
that high.
The back-breaking schedule of the
Owls is one point against them, but
we are having these freshmen praise
Allah enough so that he may give
the team a break.
The return of big J. C. Potty to Rice
means much to head track coach Era-
mett Brunson in his first year as track
mentor. Petty is a virtual cinch to
win the conference discus champion-
ship if he throws the heavy disc in the
same form he tossed it year before
last.
Byron Williams deserves much
credit for the showing he has made in |
early season workouts. He has worked j
hard on his offensive play and now is
one of the best blockers among the end
candidates. Besides his football, which
takes much of his time, Williams man-
ages to hold down a mcchahical engi-
neering course. Whataman

the business woiTd, and sometimes; a

A good many politicians began life
•as schoolmasters or lawyers. I there-
fore have a brief for the politicians,
but not for this occasion, though in
passing I note an anniversary or two
significant, I think, to lawyers, poli-
ticians, and schoolmasters. Sir Edward
Coke, valiant defender of the common
law, died Septembci 3rd, 1634. "One
of the most disagreeable figures in our
history, he is one of the most im-
portant champions of our liberties,"
says Trevclyan, and Marriott concurs
in our day. Just a hundred years
later Montesquieu founded the com-
parative method in the study of poli-
tics and law. In 1734 appeared his
"Considerations on the Greatness and
Decadence of the Romans", in which
he laidi down that political, like phys-
ical, phenomena are subject to general
laws. Fourteen years later his "Spirit
of Laws" took Europe by storm. It
hailed as One of the most im-
portant books ever written, and is still
rated as the parent work of modern
social science. Ten years ago, the Eng-
lish judge, now Sir Edward Parry,
published a small book on the "Seven
Lamps of Advocacy"; whatever your
field of study, may you overtake his
lamp-posts of honesty, courage, indus-
try, wit, eloquence, judgment, and fel-
lowship, all along your trail.
Medicine and the ministry
If most problems of the law center
in the baffling science of human na-
ture, those of medicine derive as well
from the more rational natural sci-
ences, while both realms, together with
the mathematical sciences, are now
swept into the ken of the twentieth
century theologian. Medicine is a
triumphant profession of the day. In
the long range of its history there is
no match for its current conquests in
public and private health. Ihe min-
istry, always in a class by itself, offers
even more ample opportunity than
ever, because for a considerable period
supply has fallen short of demand. We
all know of congregations that are
seeking the services of competent min-
isters.
I have spoken of medicine and the
ministry in the same breath. Each in
its kind is characteristic of our civili-
zation, for both of them care for the
poor, the afflicted, the young, and the
aged. Each is essentially and funda-
mentally humanitarian. They often
meet in practice, for men have found
that restoration to health of body or
mind is facilitated not only by the re-
lief of physical pain, but also by re-
lease from spiritual suffering. In a
recent company the question was who
i.s the greatest benefactor of mankind
whom any age has known, and the
names of Pasteur and Lister led .all
the rest. And they led all the rest
because they had brought "the great-
est freedom from pain to the greatest
number of men and women."
Lister and Pasteur were not min-
isters, but Lister, the Quaker, spoke
in meeting as the inward light, the
light of Christ In Hie conscience,"
moved him, and Pasteur, the Catholic,
preached even In his discourse of re-
ception at the French Academy. To
these men of science religious ideas
were not sedatives hypocritically ad-
ministered, but vitamins of faith sus-
taining the i'Upirit of man in sincerity
and truth. And the lamps of the
firmament of Pasteur and Lister were
named in the first century of our era;

they were named by another minister
of mercy, for Saint Paul filled the sky
with them when lie wrote to the Phll-
lippians: "Whatsoever things are true,
whatsoever things are honest, what-
soever things are just, whatsoever ;
things are pure, whatsoever things are
lovely, whatsoever things are of good
report: if there be any virtue, and if
there be any praise, think on these j
things."
