Undefeated Mitchell Eleven
b DON LIPMAN. ( hat Staff Writer
Ix'il by two or the hottest back* in the conference. Hay Kenfro und Kenneth Rahn-
sen, Couch Odua Mitchell's on-the-rampage Ragle* will meet the Kant Texan State Teachers
college Lions in Kugle stadium at 8 tonight.
Halfback Kenfro leads the Eaglea with a total net gain of 361 yards with Bahnsen
not far behind with 234. Each t>ack has scored 36 points.
In the passing department, quarterback Richard Harvey has passed 19 times and
t I. i i . - | completed 10 for 233 yards and
two touchdowns.
Mitchell this week said that the
Eagles were still improving and
that he was pleased with them. He
also stated that he was expecting
more opposition from the Lions
than the Katties have formerly en-
countered.
In the Sul Ross slaughter last
week, Bahnsen stacked up four
TD's, while on the forward wall
242-pound defensive tackle Bill
Bishop played stellar ball.
Turning to the Lions, Mitchell
said that they fielded a well-bal-
anced team, probably a little
stronger in their passing game.
After dropping their season
opener to Abilene Christian 0-14,
the Lions came back to down Ixiu-
isiana Tech last week 27-7. A new-
found passing combination from
quarterback James Gray to end
Tommy McCormack was good for
three touchdowns, with fullback
Bob (Red) Williams adding a
fourth.
With the variety of halfbacks at
his command, the Fagle mentor
stated that Kenfro and Tommy
G ray would be probable starters.
Available at starting halfback posts
are Renfro, Gray, and Royce Worn-
hie.
On the Fugle injury Ust is guard
T. K Hardy with a sprained an-
kle and Walter O'Farrell, defen-
sive guard, also with a leg injury.
If O'Farrell docs not start, Boyd
Cox, a freshman from Waco, will
play for the first time at a start-
ing post in Eagle stadium.
The Eagles will make their home
<M>u' after three road games which
culminated in three lopsided wins,
(n the first game of their 1951
season they defeated Lamar Tech
54-0. The following week they
downed Texas Western 33-0 and
last week sank the I,oboa of Sul
Ross with an amaxing «2-fl victory.
The Fugles and Lions have met
25 times since 1916 in the longest
aeries for cither school. East Texas
has won only 0 times, with a sin-
gle game lieing tied. The last time
the Lions won was in 1942 when
the Eagles were coached by Lloyd
Russell, present athletic director at
East Texas.
Members of the Intersorority
council voted for individual pic-
tures for their organitation pages
following u meeting Wednesday
with John I,ovelace, Yucca editor.
However, members are awaiting
the decision of the Interfraternity
council before making their deci-
sion final so that the pictures of
all social groups will be alike.
A meeting with the Interfrater-
nity council has lieen set by l-ove-
lacc for 5:15 p.m. Monday in the
office of the dean of men. At (hat
time discussions of what type of
picture the fraernities want will
be held.
Lovelace stated that he favored
group shots because they were
easier to photograph and would
speed yearbook production and lie-
cause the individual pictures might
cause overpaneling.
The editor also mentioned that
until five or six years ago, all
sororities and fraternities used
group pictures. "It's your section
of the book," he concluded, "but I
feel your decision was reached
without knowing what I hud
planned. We will use the type pic-
ture that the Intersorority and In-
terfraternity councils want."
He showed the council pictures
from other yearbooks using group
organisational pictures with spe-
cial effects lighting and explained
that if the representatives decided
on group pictures they would lie

As Pollen Pollutes Populace
by ERNIE MARTIN
Chat Society Editor
It's hay fever season again.
Sufferers of this dreaded ail-
ment can be identified on the cam-
pus by their ever present Kleenex
box, blood-shot eyes, and running
noses.
No cure has Inten found for this
messy little disease. There are a
few reliefs such as neosypherirt,
privine, rhir.ol and several anti-
hystamine drugs. None of these
stop the flow from the snoxsola.
The only aid to this is to blow
or sniff.
According to the inmates of the
college hospital who are sufferers
of hay fever, they all agree on one
thing. "What this country needs
is a good overnight freexe." A
frost would kill the various plants
throwing off ii pollen to which
subjects are especially sensitive.
Webster defines hay fever as a
"catarrhal affection of the mu-
cous membranes of the eyes, nose
and respiratory tract, sometimes
accompained with fever and as-
thma."
To the victims it can Ik* defined
by actions rather than words; they
consist of a hearty sneexe, a mad
grab for a Kleenex, and a loud
blow. This Is followed by a sigh and
silent cursing of ragweeds, incom-
petent doctors who have found no
cure, and the people who keep
asking, "What's the matter, ya
got a cold?"
Hay fever interferes greatly with
the normal life of the sneexers. It
takes a tolerant person to stick by
them when all he ever gets in the
