As per promise, I trudged down
to the gym and watched the Cats
go through a work-out in prepara-
tion for last night’s game with
the Oilers. Sure-shot Germer, the
shooting wonder, was there pranc-
ing around with Gott, Jowers,
Houston andd Lamar. What caught
my eye was the fancy shooting of
the scrubs, who were holding forth
(or fifth) with a half inflated ball
on one end of the court. An ex-
great on the hardwood floor, Day
Brandt, was putting the squad
through their paces to the tune of
—you’ve got to break in there fast.
The Magnolia Oilers are a strong
outfit. They handled the Long-
horns as if they were Maverick
calves and held Gray, Steer ace,
scoreless. Then they took the Cats
for a cleaning. And what he-men
they are. At the half Monday
night the Oilers sincerely demand-
ed—“Hey, Are ya playin’ quar-
ters!”. Fomby, Burr and Tullis
are ex-Texas stars. Sellars played
for the Rice Owls during his un-
dergraduate days. The Cats made
an excellent showing against what
is undoubtedly one of the strong-
est semi-professional teams in the
state. They were in much better
condition than the Cats and as
Houston remarked, “They could
have played four games and liked
it.”
Trinity picked up their hat and
joined the rest of the secular
schools in the Texas Conference.
And a wise bunch of Conference
Fathers voted to keep A&I out of
the Lone Star.
Over in the camp of the Lum-
berjacks their scribe reports a lot
of fine prospects. As a matter of
fact all the scribes have now
turned their attention to basketball
and one and all consider their team
—The Team. So do I.
When the Cats face the Steers
they will have atough fight on
their hands. Though the Steers
lost to the Oilers they are still a
strong club. Last year, if I re-
member correctly, the Steers lost-
only one game.
Temporarily at least, bicycling
holds a place as a college sport.
Also, it ranks first as a menace
to he 'unwary motorist.
Then everybody and even on Sun-
day the tennis courts are filled
with players.
Now it comes to light that a
handful club from the University
has invited a team from the Cat
gym to come up and engage them
in a tournament. The letter sound-
ed mighty inviting and interest-
ing, too. The Texhns hope te
place handball competition into the
Southwest Conference schedule.
Next season the Lone Star Con-
ference will feature an all-Confer-
ence team chosen by the players.
Not a bad idea at al. The thing
would work out like the all-con-
ference opponent team team select-
ed by the Bobcats and published in
the last issue. A committee of
authorities will tabulate the rat-
ings and announce the team at the
close of the season.
Denton, with this year’s trophy
already won, are looking forward
to a great season in cross country
next year. Most of their stars
are returning. The Eagles defeat-
ed Commerce in a cross country
trot last week to wind up the sea-
son.
In the coming fray with the
Steers the fans and the Bobcats
will have a chance to observe Fa-
gan, one-time all American school-
boy basketballer, play for the
Longhorns. He is only one of sev-
eral very good players who will
see action against the Bobcats
Thursday night.

SHOPPING
WITH SUSIE
Another week has gone by and
our Christmas shopping has hard-
ly begun. And as there are only
nine more shopping days until
Christmas we must hurry if we
are to complete our purchase list
in time. So let us hurry, hurry
lest we be too late to get the full
benefit of all the wonderful bar-
gains that are being offered by
our own San Marcos merchants.
We have a long list of things
that we need for ourselves and for
presents so we consider what we
should buy first. Emma and I
must be careful in our selections
for you know we are still feeling
the depression. But we know that
we must buy a few dresses so she
and I first look for the dress that
will meet our approval,
I was a little undecided as to
where we should first look so when
Emma led me into Arenstein’s I
was quite pleased. You know
Arenstein’s is really quite a stu-
dents’ shop as they have some
wonderful bargains there. Dresses!
Yes we must find a dress. Well,
Arenstein’s certainly have them.
All kinds of the most beautiful
holiday shades and so reasonably
priced too. Emma and I both fell
immediately in love with them. I
found it necessary to buy two of
them and Emma purchased three.
I guess she is expecting her B. F.
And hats, yes ma’m you will find
them at Arenstein’s. Cutest shapes
and all that goes with them. We
saw fit to purchase a couple of
them ourselves. Then as we turn-
ed to go out we saw that they had
just received a new shipment of
gloves. Now a glove is something
that every girl needs, she just
can’t have too many of them. They
come in so handy when some boy
persists in holding your hand in
his perspiry paw. These gloves
werebeautifully tailored and not
only were they pretty and service-
able but they were also lined as
all good gloves should be. Then
again we noticed the reasonable
price.
What do you think happened as
we came out of Arenstein’s? Why
a friend of ours ran into us and
so of coufse we had to have a lit-
tle chat. The outcome of the lit-
tle confab was that we all three
went into Miss Mattie Watkins
shop. We were in that cute little
woman’s shop last week but it
seems that fate decreed that we
go there again. Well, anyhow there
we were. And did we have lots
to look at? You can bet your last
little vanity we did. If you don’t
believe that Miss Mattie carries
a complete line of everything you
just go and see for yourself. Girl,
she has everything that your little
heart could desire.
Well, we still had some money
left from our visit so we preceded
to go around a little more. So we
picked the Collegiate Shop. They
too live up to the reputation of be-
ing one of the best stocked stores
in town. They are indeed Colleg-
iate. Emma here soaked some hard

cash. This Emma is quite a char-
acter. You should meet her. She
sure likes to dress it up. And be-
lieve me, she sure does. You just
ask me for an introduction some
time.
Back to Harrison’s we go for one
of those famous Nellie Don Frocks.
They have them all there at this
fine store. Mr. Harrison believes
in keeping the best for the college
girl. He is the College girl’s
friend as he is never too busy to
help them select what they want,
So after consulting him and getting
his opinion we purchase a dress
that was so becoming to me that
I think I’ll wear it when Bill comes
to see me. You know he is one
of these particular fellows. He
likes his women dressed up.
We went to the post office to
see if Emma had any mail from
her many admirers. I’ll tell you
on the side that she gets letters
from Chicago. You know, anoth-
er one of those World’s Fair ro-
mances. Well anyhow, the post of-
fice reminded us that we must buy
a few Christmas cards. We de-
cide to visit the drug stores sys-
tematically. Well, here again we
meet with success. A couple of
B.F.’s invite us to have a drink.
No, I mean a coke. I bet you
thought I meant beer. Well, let’s
skip it.
Oilers Nose Out
Bobcats, 36-30,
In Practice Fray
Flashing their best form to date,
Coach Shands’ Bobcats dropped a
36-30 tussle to the Magnolia Oil-
ers from Austin, Monday night in
the College gymnasium. It was an
improved ball club that held the
Oilers well in- check during the
first half to lead 14-13 at the rest
period.
There was just too much Sel-
lars. This six-foot four person-
age counted eight field goals and
two free throws to lead the scor-
ing with eighteen points. Jowers,
local flash was second high with
five counters from the field and
have caused to take place at Vo-
gelman’s Variety Store. Why that
store is a little fairy den now. You
just go in there once and I bet you
don’t come out with empty hands.
I had to drag Emma out by the—
well, you guess. I sure am proud
of Mr. Vogelman. He sure knows
what it takes to make a store at-
tractive.
three charity tosses for thirteen
markers.
Captain Marvin Lamar and San-
dy Germer turned in the best floor
performances for the locals al-
though Clyde Gott has shown a
great improvement over his last
year’s work. Gott is improving
fast.
The Austin club boasts a strong
team built around Sellars and Jim
Fomby, former Texas University
star. Sellars is a former Rice
Owl, both Fomby and Sellars being
ex-All Southwest Conference cage
stars. Tullis and Bur, guard and
forward respectively on the Oiler
club are also Texas lettermen
while Vernon, the other member of
the starting quintet is a former
all-state basketball man from Aus-
tin High School. Vernon and Burr
were both members of the Austin
High cage team that won the state
several years ago. Last week the
Oilers downed the Champion Tex-
as Longhorns, 51-40 in a high scor-
ing affray.
The box score:
Bass was the first drug store we
visited. They have a very fine line
of gifts. All the things that go
to make a Christmas pleasant.
Talk about Christmas cards—they
sure have them. Many and well
selected. So we replenished our
store of cards and went on.
Williams, you know the one that
is so prettily decorated. They too
have a complete line of Christmas
gifts. I hope some of my B. F.’s
see that marvelous candy they
have there at Williams. I almost
bought more than I could pay for
aa this pleasant store but I check-
ed myself just in time cause I
still had to do some more buying.
Before I go any further, I must
tell you of the transformation they
At Duke & Ayres you will also
find a well selected group of ar-
ticles of all descriptions.
Well,' we sure have gone about
the town, haven’t we? It was a
very pleasant trip. Oh! I must
not forget to tell you that if you
want any shopping hints just drop
around to the office and I will be
only too glad to help you do your
Christmas shopping. Just ask for
Susie.
Don’t think that we have done
all our shopping yet. For I have
much more to buy but you know I
must wait until next week for some
more mazuma. But you who can—
I must advise you that you are
missing the time of your life if
you don’t get busy and do your
shopping now. If you aren’t in
the market just go looking and
you soon will be.

The members of the Science club
were entertained on Monday eve-
ning with a venison supper at the
Taylor camp at Wimberley. Dr.
Smith proudly purveyed the veni-
son, his first kill of the season.
Aided by two other disciples of
Shorty Wyatt, Mr. Wright and Mr,
Chamberlin, he assembled a com-
bination of steaks and coffee to
make the angels weep, (no angels,
of course, were present). The
Home Economics department coop-
erated with potato salad while Joe
Horeczy mustered a veteran crew
to barbecue portions of the veni-
son.
The guests arrived in time to
enjoy the perfect autumn after-
noon by rambling over the hills,
boating on the river and loafing
in the sunshine. The Science Club
votes the occasion an unqualified
suuccess.
