THINK TEXAS DESPERADO
ABDUCTED MAIL CARRIER
KANSAS CITY, Mo., Oct. 26.—
Missouri officers Friday night were
seeking two men, one of whom they
believed to be Raymond Hamilton,
escaped Texas convict, who kidnaped
William Lane, rural mail carrier,
near Halfway and later released him
unharmed beyond Yahola, Ok., late
Thursday.
Identification of one of the kid-
napers as Hamilton, who has a death
sentence hanging over him in Texas,
was made by two Missouri highway
patrolmen. They reported their iden-
tification to Capt. William J. Baxter
of the highway patrol here.
Highway patrolmen were in a gun
fight Wednesday with the two kid-
napers near Buffalo. The men es-
caped after abandoning their motor
car and seizing Lane’s car, taking
him with them. Lane’s car was
found containing several unopened
mail sacks near Columbus, Kan.,
Thursday.
At Parsons, Kan., police said they
were convinced Hamilton and his
companion, whom police have not
identified, were in Parsons Wednes-
day. They reported the two men
stole the motor car of Mrs. Willard
Kanitz and that both cars, with Lane
lying captive in the rear seat of his
car, were driven to Columbus, where
Lane’s car was abandoned. The
Kanitz car later was found by offi-
cers at Muskogee, Oklahoma.

SPORTING SPORTS
“He floats through the air with the
greatest of ease.”
This effectively describes Buster
Smith when he jumps high in the air
and grabs a pass. Very few come
his way that he doesn’t handle, and
they’re usually for long gains. But
woe is the passer on the opposing
team who heaves the oval into Smith’s
territory . He either intercepts them
or bats them down.
Roy Underwood, speedy halfback,
who allegedly acquired his speed by
chasing rabbits, is ineligible due to
his grades. He can become eligible
again in one. week if he makes high
enough grades. This applies also to
D. C. McEver and Andy Rainwater.
Parker Patterson, guard, who flash-
ed so brilliantly in the Richland
Springs game, has a chance to be-
come an all-district man this year.
If Lampasas wins the district, Pat-
terson is sure to be nominated. He
shines as much on offense as he does
on defense, and other teams will learn
that it is dangerous indeed, to run a
play over his position. Every min-
ute he is in the game he fights, and
shows hs determination to win.
The Lampasas-Llano football game
originally slated for Friday afternoon
at Llano, has been transferred to
Lampasas, where it will be played
Friday night under the lights.
Lampasas is the only entrant in
District 18, Class B, who has a light-
equipped field and will play all their
district games at home.
The Llano Yellowjackets tied the
strong Burnet team, and Lampasas
will have a hard time defeating them.
Tickets for the game will be on
sale at the drug stores.
PROSPECTIVE CHANGE
'■j IN PROGRAM
Supt. Charles Wachendorfer and
Mr. John Rowntree are studying a
change of program whereby the clas-
ses will start at 9 instead of 8:30
and school will be dismissed at 3:30
instead of 4. Classes will run dur-
ing noon hour. There will be two
lun<(h periods, one from 12:00 to
12:30 and the other from 12:30 to
1:00.
( If this change causes too many
hardships for the students, it will be
abandoned. It is thought that it will
benefit the rural students as well as
those living in town.
BADGERS TRAMPLE
BURNET 18-0 IN FIRST
CONFERENCE GO
Outplaying the Burnet Bulldogs
from the opening kick-off, the Lam-
pasas Badgers ran rampant in their
first conference game, to defeat Bur-
net by the large margin of 18-0 in
Lampasas, Friday night.
Outstanding men on the Lampasas
team were, Smith, Capt. Perry, Brown,
Jones and Waldrop, in the backfield.
The Badger line was very strong,
both on defense and offense, with Pat-
terson, the outstanding player.
The feature player of the Burnet
squad was the highly touted, Clay-

DAY BY
DAY
Seen at the
football game: Digni-
fied seniors acting like unsophisticat-
ed freshmen .
Junior class members
busy working
to make
money for
the junior stand. The traditional
junior-senior banquet must be given
this year.
Katherine G. and B. S. seem to
have a case of what some would call
“Puppy Love.” They can be seen at
any time during the day gazing at
each other or leaning on lockers and
radiators.
When passing along side lines at
the Bartlett-Lampasas football game,
one could see friends of long ago.
Charles Davis, Kyle Smith, T. J. Chil-
ders, Millie Bodenhamer and other ex-
classmates that have not been for-
gotten were there to watch the Bad-
gers . battle with Bulldogs and come
out victorious.
At noon any day you can go into
the Badger office, and join the stu-
dents in a nice little gossiping party.
You may even find a teacher or two
being the ring leader or taking a
very active paid: in listening or tell-
ing his oi* her experience “with that
very same person.”
Thoughts while strolling: Saw Jes-
sie Standard talking to Dr. D. S.
Moore. What could it be about?
This fall weather is bothering many
girls about their fall clothes. Why
will girls have dates on school nights ?
Wonder when Will Dent will take
his derby off?
One of my favorite people: Mr.
Dudley Moore.
Personality personified: Lurline
Creekmore.
Most immaculate boy in school:
Lamar Hocker.
Think of it, students who attend
school here from Topsey, have to
travel 252 miles a week to recite 40
hours.

TIWN SISTERS TEACHING
IN GRAMMAR SCHOOL
Lampasas Grammar school has the
distinction of having twin sisters for
teachers. They are Misses Weta and
Wanda Holley of Brown wood. Miss
Wanda Holley has been teaching here
since the beginning of the term, and
due to an unusually large number of
first grade students, Miss Weta Hol-
ley began teaching last week.
The Holley twins, as they are often
called, are graduates of Lampasas
grammar School, having completed
their work there in 1925.
PEP SQUAD TAKES JOY RIDE
Prof. Charles Wachendorfer gave
the pep squad a thrill Friday after-
noon when he asked them to go rid-
ing in the new school bus.
The entire pep squad of nearly fif-
ty members managed to crowd into
the bus. They sang school songs and
gave yells during their entire ride
around town. It is the first time the
high school students have ridden in
the new school bus, and they felt
highly honored by this special privi-
lege.
IN THE CLUB HOUSE
Like a wild bunch of Comanche
Indians on the warpath! That effec-
tively describes the football boys as
they come in from practice. They
rush through the club house door as
quickly as possible, and shed their
suits faster than a trackster dash-
ing off 50 yards.
There is still the too loud talking,
and every once in a while someone
cries, “Hey, where’s the soap?” and
then, “Don’t turn the cold water on
yet.”
Wet paper and rags seem to be
the chief weapons tossed at one an-
other, and sometimes they even throw
a shoe. The boys are full of spirit
on and off the field and they have
so much energy that they have to
work a little more of it off after
they leave the practice field.
So they say, “What better place
than the club house?”
NEW SCHOOL BUS ARRIVES
\
Friday morning the students were
thrilled to see the new. school bus
arrive.
Supt. Chas. Wachendorfer dfc-o/e
the Topsey students home Friday af-
ternoon after school.
The temporary route the bus will
follow will be from Topsey to Little-
field, Rumley, Clayrock and into Lam-
pasas on the Waco highway.
The bus will cover the Adamsville
territory later.
HOME ECONOMICS III
GIRLS PLAN IDEAL HOME
The Home Economics III class will
start making plans for their ideal
home next Monday.
For the past six weeks they have
been studying different types of
homes in order to be able to choose
a suitable house for their own.
Each girl is to choose her own
home and furnish it as she would
like to have her own home furnished.
MOTHERS OF BADGERS
GUESTS AT GAME
Mothers of the 1934 Badgers were
guests of the Athletic Association at
the football game Friday night.
All mothers received a letter invit-
ing them to be present at the game
and a special section of the bleachers
was reserved- for them,
Since the games have been played
at night, more of the parents have
been able to attend them. The game
with Burnet was the first conference
game and the Badgers were more
anxious than usual to have all of the
mothers present.

minutes ? *’
Marvin: “Well, let’s commit sui-

NO DISASTER RESULTS
FROM ACCIDENT
Not long ago, a certain teacher
was explaining something to his
class, when a-map mounted on card-
board, descended with great force
upon his head. The accident was not
serious, however, as neither teacher
nor map was injured.
ARE YOU A SLEEPY HEAD?
It is all right to keep late hours
and to come to school half awake
as long as you don’t disturb the other
fellow. When you come to school so
sleepy that you have to go to sleep
in the study hall may be all right too,
but when you snore so loudly that the
ones around you are disturbed, you
should try to get more sleep at home
According to the study hall keeper,
snoring is one of Nolan Word’s weak-
nesses. He snores so loudly in the
study hall that no one else can study.
Goldthwaite is probably the cause of
this.
GRAMMAR SCHOOL NEWS
Grammar school students began
practice Wednesday on fire drills
which will be held twice a month.
The first drill proved very success-
ful as the, entire building was clear-
ed in 1% minutes.
New song books arrived this week
for the music room. This will offer a
much better chance for the pupils
to learn the songs.
The English classes in the 5th, 6th
and 7th grades are writing fire themes
in connection with the fire drills. The
subject is “Fire Prevention.”
Rev. A. F. Avant had charge of
the chapel program last week. The
sixth grade will have charge of the
program this week.
The subject for the citizenship pro-
gram Friday was, “Keeping off the
Grass.” This subject was applied to
the lawn and shrubs around the build-
ing. '
CAROL JEAN’S VIEWS ON
LIFE AND FOOTBALL
I lost a tooth, and I didn’t cry,
The doctor said I was brave, and I
Put it beneath my pillow that night,
And by morning it turned to a dime
so bright.
I went to the game, and my Daddy’s
boys,
Made touchdowns and things,
And the pep squad noise, said the
other team lost,
And I wonder why, they couldn’t be
brave the same as I,
I lost a tooth, and I didn’t cry.
Carol Jean Moore.
