The old “dope bucket” was over-
turned again this week in the South-
western Conference.
S. M.U. and Texas are still going
strong, but Arkansas and Texas A.
and M. have weakened a little more.
The surprise of the week-end came
with A. and M.’s loss to T.C.U. and
Centenary's loss to Baylor.
T. C.U. has always been the Aggie
jinx. For the last four years /the Ag-
gie eleven have been unable to con-
quer th eFrogs. Doped to win by
tow touchdowns, the Aggie eleven
were unable to smash the Christian
line. This looks bad for A. and M.
Texas University outplayed the Ar-
kansas eleven over at Austin last
Saturday to win 20-7. The Arkansas
boys showed up well during the first
half, but were unable to check the
powerful Texas squad during the
last half. According to all dope this
Texas bunch may make it hot for
S.M.U. November 3.
S. M.U. defeated the Rice Owls Sat-
urday 53-17. We cannoa say so much
about that, however, for St. Edwards’
beat the Owls several weeks ago by
almost that large a score. S.M.U.
need not be forgotten when deter-
mining the tilte-holders of the Con-
ference.
T. C.U. is going strong to claim
part of that title. They defeated A.
and M. Saturday 6-0, and, from all
accounts, the power they showed
against the Farmers, well—they may
make some one play some real foot-
ball before the season ends.
The big surprise of the day was
the defeat Baylor handed to Centen-
ary. The score was 28-7. It wouldn’t
have been so much of a surprise had
the score been a little less, for we
must remember that this Centenary
bunch beat A. and M. the previous
Saturday 6-0.
Anything may happen in football;
so let us not be alarmed next Satur-
day should the games come out in
an unexpected manner. *
The Texas Conference this year is,
closer than it has been in years. St.
Edward’s, Simmons, Howard Payne,
and Trinity, all, remain undefeated.
They haven’t tangled up with each
other yet, but when they do, some
one is going to see some real foot-
ball games. They are all pretty even-
ly matched.
The only Texas Conference game
to be played this week will be South-
western vs. Austin College. The Pi-
rates are doped to win by a fairly
large score.
Just what happened in the T.I.A.A.
race last week may be interesting to
note. A.C.C. defeated East Texas l
17-6. This • Christian College eleven
seem to be headed for the Conference
title this year. They are pressed
closely by Daniel Baker, however, who
defeated Sam Houston last week 17-0.
These Hill Billies are going to be
hard to stop.
North Texas defeated Stephen F.
Austin 14-7. The Bobcats take on the
North Texas Eagles next week. Let’s
win another T.I.A.A. games, gang!

JUNIOR CLASS MEETS
The junior class of the Demonstra-
tion High (School held its first meet-
ing on October 12 at 3:30 o’clock.
The president of the 1928 Winter
Term took charge of the election of
new officers. Those elected were as
follows:
President, Dorsey Hasty; vice-pres-
ident, Neville Cope; secretary, Ray-
mond Hormachea; treasurer, Asa
Rowland; sergeant-at-arms, Eric
Bergstrom; Star reporter, Laura
Haynes.
With such a staff of officers and a
sponsor like Miss Bruce, the junior
class should have one of the “peppiest”
classes in High School.
SLANTS FROM
THE SIDE LINES
(By The Spectator)
Whew! That Bobcat-Tiger game
Friday was a thriller from gun to
gun!
Trinity’s Notre Dame style seemed
to have the Bobcats puzzled. The first
few minutes saw them marching down
the field, the Bobcats fighting des-
perately to stem the tide of Tigers.
Captain Vest, crippled, fighting,
playing his usual good brand of ball,
was forced out early, because of in-
juries received in the A.C.C.-Bobcat
game at Abilene. But that boy
George accounted for himself while
in there!
That combination Branum-to-Mor-
ton and Branum-to-Clark looked
mighty good. That boy Morton is a
pass-snatching demon! He snares them
high, low, short, long—doesn’t make
him any difference! By the way, that
passing put over those two Bobcat
touchdowns.
Bob Obets, midget half, put on one
more great exhibition of tackling. The
little fellow looked good out there.
Clark, wriggling like an eel, made
a would-be Triinty tackier look sick,
when he put on one of his nice runs.
Gordon, as usual, was a tower of
strength in the line.
Hopper, crippled, did not see ac-
tion until the second quarter. In
there, he played a whale of a defen-
sive game.
Zunker, Lindsey, Arnold—all look-
ed good on defense. Late in the
game, after the Bobcats had rallied
to go into the lead by one point, and
when the Tigers were driving toward
the goal line, Big Zunker broke
through the line and threw a Trinity
back for a loss. Not so bad for a
youngster, eh?
Berry, replacing the injured Cap-
tain Vest at full, accounted for him-
self creditably.
That game proved one thing: the
Bobcats are a scrappy team. With
five regulars crippled, they played the
Tigers off their feet. And, what I
mean, those Tigers have been furnish-
ing S.W. Conference teams plenty of
“practice.”
On to Denton! Those Denton Teach-
ers are going to meet a scrapping,
hard-driving, determined Bobcat elev-
en next week-end. This Trinity game
proved a thing or two!

tume, if you care to. Wear anything

Little Theater Meets
Sisters! Sisters!
The Little Theater met Tuesday eve-
ning at the home of Miss Merle Mar-
tindale with twenty-two members
present. The president, E. 0. Tanner,
presided with Miss Mattie Allison
in charge of the program which fol-
lowed the business session. Miss
Merle Martindale gave an interesting
account of a play, “The Strange In-
terlude”, by Eugene O’Neill, which
she had seen during the summer in
New York. J. Lloyd Read, who was
at Columbia University during the
summer reported on one of the South
Carolina negro folk plays, “Porgia”,
in a delightful way. Among the new
members of the Little Theater are
Dr. and Mrs. A. H. Nolle, Miss Alma
Lueders, Mrs. W. C. Merritt, and Mrs.
Eikers.
