THE McMURRY WAR WHOOP
Paec Three
The Arrow Head'
BY CLYDE WOOD
(Guest Columnist) - - A ;
Putting one little word nfter another and wosHcring
what there is to write.
Oh j'os Trinity's Tigers champions of the Texas con-
ference last season are looking mighty potent again. So are
the Texas Wosleyan Hams. While ACC McMurry and How-
ard Payne lose pro-conference games the Rams and Tigers
are winning. Looks as if they may finish one-two in the
conference race.
TWC lost most of its best men last year Milburn Pigg
Captain Johnny Edwards Lon Goldstein and one or two
others. But this winter the Ward brothers the McClung
brothers and the rest of the Fort Worth Methodists are
shaping up another powerful team. Seems that Texas Wos-
leyan has more to offer basketball players than any other
Texas conference school
JI'm sure it's rather disconcerting to the ACC Wildcats
to lose every ball game that comes along. With some of the
best high school players of Texas during the past three
years on their roster the Wildcats arc still about as potent
as a mouse wrestling a bear.
Improved play of some of the Indian freshmen should
enable McMurry to win many more games than at first ex-
pected. Lloyd Lovvora became so proficient playing for the
bookstore that he was transferred to the varsitf. At pres-
ent he's bidding for a regular guard post. If he continues
to hit the basket there isn't a better guard to lo found in
all the conference. He's a defensive man who sticks to his
opiwncnt like a leach.
According to the Abilene Reporter-News the McMurry
Bookstore-Seiberling game of the other night was one of
the most exciting ever played in the high school gym.
With less than two minutes to go the Indians overcame
a six point deficit and marched on to a two point win. The
play of Lowom was the deciding factor.
Here's my predictions on the final outcome of the con-
ference basketball race:
1. Texas Wesleyan
2. Trinity
3. Howard Payne
4. Abilene Christian
5. McMurry
6. Daniel Baker
7. Southwestern
r 8. Austin College

Stalin Rote To Powtr
y Ruthless Tactics
Lyons Maintains
JOSr.F Stalin's rise to power
unlike that of his fellow dicta-
tors Hitler and Mussolini was by
a shrewd manipulation of the
political strings once he had them
clutched in his strong pcant
fingers. The ability to arouse the
masses by finitely I missing In
Stnlin. He la n poor orator! he
employ no theatricals. Knthcr he
moves slowly silently cautiously
rendy to spring nt the opportune
moment. He knows thnt his power
does not depend on the people
Cruel ruthless inner paity politics
Is his forte.
"Ho Rives a feeling of boundless
power held In lensh by an Iron will"
writes Eugene Lyons In the Decem-
ber Cosmopolitan. "There is about
the mnn some-
thing deeply
Oriental inn-
natcly cautious
! brooding; out-
wardly relaxed
but tensed to
spring inside. He
is a recluse an
introvert. He has
no friends but
only underlings;
no political
allies but only
scared flatter-
ers." Stalin Is no
mental giant; he
knows it and is
sensitive to the
fact; even his
thick coat of
armor affords no
piotection. Thnt
is the reason ho
likes to surround
Josef Stalin
himself with men of culture. He snw
much of Mnim GoiM the grcnt
novelist before Goiki died some sny
by poisoning. Stanislavsky the foun-
der of the Moscow Art Theatre was
another who wns summoned often.
A chnrncteristic thnt has helped
shape Stnlin's enrcer perhaps more
thnn any other is his pnssion for
revenge. According to Lyons Stalin
has been quoted as saying that the
sweetest thing In the world is to
orcnarc a cruel rovonee on an cnemv
and go to sleep. In every purge
in Russia the last few years the
motive has been partly or wholly
revenge. Hatred burns in his blood
lino volcanic lires.
On December 21st Stalin will be
lixty years old. Russia will grovel
at his feet on that day. Praise of
Stalin is already mandatory says
Lyons. His name is always printed
in capital letters. A dozen cities
thousands of streets squares canals
railroads rivers are named in his
honor. He is Father Leader the
