Football Is Everybody's Game
By BEVERLY ANNE MORROW
Football is a universal sport.
Wherever you go you will And
proponents of this pastime. In some
instances there might be a slight
alteration of the rules but the
game Is still basically the same.
For instance the use of kangaroos
for substitution purposes is illegal
in Australia.
In Holland an oblong piece of
cheese is used in place of the tradi-
tional pigskin. For a few more
examples to prove my point let
me take you on a brief tour of the
world to view the game in progress
In various countries. First since
it Is nearest home let us visit a
broadcasting booth at La Rhumba

Reasons Why We
Should Worship
"Why Worship" was the subject
chosen by Muriel Lester renowned
English social worker when she
spoke to the McMurry student
body and visitors Monday.
Highlighting the address were
illustrations based on Miss Les-
ter's travels around the world. She
is sponsored by the American
Friends society.
"Twenty years ago worship was
to look respectable to bring bet
ter business to one's self and to be
fashionable. Today people are more
frank" she declared.
The main theme of the lecture
was built around power. Miss Les-
ter said "Worship of an evil thing
can lead us to an evil power be-
cause power comes from worship.
We must worship good powers or
we will Itnd ourselves taken in hv
bail powers."
In conclusion she explained "We
have the answer in the way Jesus
taught. We must face evil with
the opposite the right way."
.gold accessories made a good
showing but Monsieur Le Blanc
playing drawback scored the win-
ning dash. M. Le Blanc wore a
green and gunmctal ensemble with
matching helmet."
Well while we're over on this
side of the globe we may as well
sit in on a German broadcast. Go
ahead Adolph!
"Ach! Hlmmel der gooten-fac-cen."
(Oh pardon us you can't
understand German? O.K. we'll
translate.) Heir Kinkle is one of
the most loyal supporters of Der
Muddvllle Hags. Not only that
but also he is playing der righten
end. Now he is saluting Der Amer

Miss Tate who is In charge of
rush parties has Issued the fol-
lowing statements to rushees and
clubs "In order that a better un-
derstanding of the situation might
be had" she says.
"A hasty acceptance of an in-
vitation to join a group is as un-
wise ns it is unnecessary.
"Remember there are certain
mien of the game and each club
nnd ouch lrl Ik obligated to
abide by thcMc rule lioth In let
ter and In ttplrlt.
"The girls who are lushed must
remember that an invitation to
Join Is made on the basis of unani-
mous vote of active members. And
this is as it should be as no one
desires to be a member of a group
which does not have loyal friend-
ship one to another.
"In making your choice think
of what you can contribute-to the
organization not just what they
can do for you.
"Remember that McMurry comes
first and then the group. Never
the group first.
"Prcpledglng Ih not good
sportwnanahlp from the club
permitting It nor from the girl
accepting prepledgohlp.
"A club that permits a member
to make threats or promises In re-
gard to the possibilities of mem-
bership In her group has a low
standard of honor and should be
shunned.
"A club is no stronger than Its
weakest member so consider each
member before you make your de-
cision. Remember the personnel of
a club changes from time to time
and you may regret a choice made
by considering only the past with-
out considering the present setup."
