'The' famous baritone hog call-

left information with this depart-
ment that he is going to hold
down a column in the Campus
Chat tho famed Denton Eagle
newspaper.
If tho Wildcats do not have a
powerful aggregation this fall it
will not bo because they do not
have a good freshman squad to
get points from nml to use for
sparring partners.
Looks like a good prospect for
golf Judging from the afternoon's
exhibition of Phillip Stroud the
boy that showed brilliantly on
tho freshman basketball team last
winter. Stroud shot a 39 on a 'M

tho Texas conference with a 33.

Phillips only fell short by ono of
"the winning scoro nnd that was
Phillip's first afternoon on tho

Tho Wildcats havo gotten their
plays down a little better this
week and udded a few to tho list
Tliny havo perfected their pass-

This department Is short on
dope on tho Badgers but knowing

wo predict u win by the scoro of

in tho Dallas fray that they will

the Texas conference fla this year
by putting up a beautiful defense

After a hard week of practice
the freshman football squad is

tough scrimmage against the var-

A powerful offensq alo is expect-

Two new colleges will be expect-
ed to send delegates with a view
to taking membership.
C. W. Cecil graduate of last
spring and president last year of
the student association here is
president of a T.l.P.A. division
composed of exes who have enjoy-
ed conventions in years past. Cecil
will arrange an attractive pro-
gram giving the exes an oppor-
tunity for a sort of reunion which
is held yearly in conjunction with
the regular convention.
It is also hoped that A.C.C. may
have a large number of first

there will be contests for news-

azines on the whole.
The outlook for all these suc-
cesses is bright according to
Starnes. "AH indications point
toward a most successful ycar in
all phases" he said. "But it will
lie necessary that everyone assist
in making such a large undertak-

day. There was no doubt that; he
was the outstanding player of the
game. He was all over the field
getting under Rebel plays every
second of the time he spent in the
game. ".'
NELSbN AND MASON ALSO
Don Nelson and erry Mason
two of the Wildcat guards also
shared in the fine defensive play.
Both of these guards were fighting
as only Wildcats fight and each
tore up many of the Rebel plays
before they had materialized at the
line of scrimmage.
Every Wildcat player showed
up creditably with consistent de-
fensive .work throughout the game
to the whistle.

outstanding center in the history
of freshman football and will

The team should not lose a
