COACH O M (LEFTY) EDENS
Ho Thinks That—
Baylor Beat Us ’Tween Halves When
Tha Bays Wuz Gittin Wader.
<«x»
Son thwestern lost to Baylor Bears 7-
0 Saturday afternoon.
<»<*>
Time about is fair play, so wo sup-
pose it was all right for the Bruins to
take this one, since wo took the last
one. s
Hi Joe Allen and Unk Young, Coach
Edens has found two more good print-
ers.
<S*8>
Wonder if Coach Morley Jennings
found out what kind of team lie has or
what kind of team Southwestern hits.
<JxS>
Southwestern has the best back field
material this year that she has had in
many days.
<S**>
If those Baylor folks had known Dick
Hawkins as well as we do maybe they
wouldn’t have yelled for ’em to turn
him aloose.
The Pirates will go down to Aggie
land to meet the Farmers Saturday.
Some one asked Dumb Dora how she
liked the new gridiron and sho became
higjily insulted and replied that her
mother did NOT take in washing.
The Pirate interference in Saturday’s
game wasn’t lazy—just shiftless.
Austin, Texas, Sept. 27.—The arrival
of (Mint Slover Sunday at the Longhorn
camp considerably bolstered the Texas
hopes for a winning football team this
season. Slover was an outstanding star
on the 1924 team, but failed to return
to the University last year because of
tinancial and other difficulties. Ho spent
most of last year in Europe, and a
year’s experience in the world has prov-
ed invaluable to the giant Longhorn.
The addition of Slover to the Long-
horn team will solve one of Doe Stew-
art’s most perplexing troubles. That
is, Slover will do the punting this sea-
son. Doc has spent the entire early
part of the training season endeavoring
to locate a man that can punt regularly.
Slover, after a week’s training, will be
able to get 45 yards on his punts reg-
ularly.
Entering the University in 1923,
Slover was considered the greatest pros-
pect. for a three letter man in the Uni-
versity. Ho is also a crack center in
basketball, and an excellent broad
jumper. Ho wag captain of the 1923
Freshman team, and lettered at end and
half on the Longhorn team next year,
being Iho outstanding star in 6-0 defeat
of Texas A. & M. Slover this year will
alternate at end and tackle and will be
called to the backfield to do all the
punting. He was formerly a star ath-
leto at Austin College.

When
peg-tops
were in flower
PRINCE ALBERT Has been the campus favorite
since the days of long-haired fullbacks, high
button shoes, turtle-neck sweaters, and hand-
painted dormitory cushions. This same won-
derful tobacco is even more popular in these
days of plus-fours.
And no wonder. Throw back the hinged
lid of the familiar red tin and release that rare
aroma of real tobacco! Tuck a load into your
pipe and pull that fragrant P. A. smoke up the
stem! That’s Prince Albert, Fellows! Nothing
like it anywhere,
- When problems press and your spirits slip
over into the minus column, just get out your
jimmy-pipe and load up with this really friendly
tobacco. P. A. is so kind to your tongue and
throat and general disposition. Buy a tidy red
tin today*
Fringe albert
-—no other tobacco is like ill.
