Around the Conference
The Southwestern Conference race
comes to a head this week with all
season but has improved since.
The writer is batting a high per-
centage in picking winners, if not by
exact scores. In fifteen guesses the
only wrong ones have been the Rice-
S. M. U., Arkansas-Baylor, and A. and
M.-Baylor games, Here's this week's
contribution to a higher percentage.

The rivalry of Baylor and T. C. II.
is one of the keenest and oldest in the
Southwest. They have played forty-
one timeb, Baylor winning 1U, T. C. U,

has held the other scoreless in 10

Did you know
That a promising freshman halfback
won't tell people anymore how to pro-
ntiunce his name. Last Tuesday, by a
Federal Court decision, It was granted
and decreed that henceforth Chester
Chonowski be known as Chester Hayes,
Hayes, we understand, is a translation
into American vernacular of the
meaning of Chonowski. Success to
you, Mr. Chester Hayes, That Rice
has received numerous requests for the
music ol their school song but is unable
to print it as it is a part of "Our
Director" march—That Rice has not
beat T. C. U, in ten years. That Bobby
Wilson of S. M. U. has led the Con-
i fere nee scoring each year he has been
j eligible (1933, 1934)—That Baylor once

By Arnold Serwer
(Associated Collofflate Press
Correspondent)
Washington, D. C.—A reporter who
used to work on The New York Amer-
ican told me this story, down to the
last detail, and I am passing it on for
what it is worth, just as X heard it.
The reporter, who is a reliable and
responsible person, was an eyewitness
at the scene. To my mind it is an
interesting sidelight on the makeup of
two of our best known national fig-
tires, William Randolph Hearst and
Arthur Brisbane. Also, it points a
moral to the effect that one must never
stoop to recover a fallen sweet, not
only because the sweet may be germ-
covered because of its fall, but because
at the time of stooping it might turn
out that Mr. Hearst and Mr. Brisbane
would like to pass by. . | .
One raw, wintry afternoon several
years ago, a copyboy in the city room
of The New York American, finding
that he had all of ten free minutes to
himself, decided to spend the time in
getting and eating a piece of candy
| from the stand just inside the entrance
i to be building. He had the money in
! his pocket, and the craving for candy
ij|e had been born with, the true sign
of a genuine copyboy. He went down-
stairs to the candystand. a faint smile
i of anticipation on his face, hits head—
chocolate filled, so to speak,
[ At the stand he iTpent a long time
I in weighing the merits of gumdrops
versus rum totfee, and then reverting
I to his original idea, hovered undeeid-
j'ed between a H^rshey bar and a bar of
Nestles chocolate. Finally he bought

to go i^tslde he took another m,
Three or four idlers around the door-
way, shifting their regard from the
boy, turned to look at the limousine
which had just stopped in front of the
building.
As they watched, a chauffeur in a
smart greatcoat got out and hastened
to open the rear door. Out came a
large bear followed by another one.
They straightened up and becaume two
men in enormous fur coats. Majesti-
cally they steamed toward the en-
trance, their breaths turning to clouds
of vapor in the frosty air.
The idlers hastily made gangway
for the fur coats, guessing instinctive-
ly who was in each. The coats stepped
through the doorway, stalked toward
the elevator, and stopped! There was
an obstruction in their path.
The boy was the obstruction. A
second before, in seeking for a new
hold on his candy, he had lost con-
trol of it and it had fallen to the floor
in the path of the approaching Mr.
Hearst and Mr. Brisbane. Unaware of
their approach, or as a matter of fact
of anything but his fallen candy, he
stooped over to retrieve it, stooped
and stopped two of: America's most
eminent journalists. Stopped them
dead in their tracks! , ,
If the Japs had; at that moment as
Mr. Brisbane has been suggesting for
years they might, appeared over New
York City in an aerial raid, he would
not have shown half the surprise that
he did at sight of the boy in his path.

He waited, while the boy recovered
his candy, and then as they boy looked
up, gave him a ponderous glance.
Turning he stepped into the elevator
and with Mr. Brisbane was conveyed
aloft. The boy stood openmouthed,
looking after them, his jaw slack, his
eyes wide with fear.
In the city room Mr. Hearst sum-
moned the editor. He described the
boy, The editor admitted the boy was
an employee of the paper and wearily
sick at heart, sent another copyboy
after the offender.
And there in the city room, with
Mr. Brisbane looking on, Mr. Hearst
loosed his thunderbolt. He fired the
boy who stooped for a bar of candy.
