''Another year of Texas Conference football is just drawing to
a dose with the circuit having three champions. We salute the
three' champions A.C.C. T.W.C. and Howard Payne. This col
until puts its vote on the side of a round robin championship
playoff in the Texas Conference. With a round robin in the sched-
ule we would not have such a ridiculous thing as three conference
tnajnpions.

If a round robin elimination
were held It would be possible to
say who was the real champion of
the conference. As It 'Is you can
pick any one of the three and still
be almost correct. Of course ACC
has the slight edge In the favorit-
ism having whipped one of the
other co-champions HPC 6-0. And
too Howard Payne had beaten
Texas Wesleyan 14-10. So It looks
like the Wildcats are really the
superior ones in the Texas Con-
ference -with Howard Payne in
second place and -Texas Wesleyan
In third place.
It Is oar hope that the day wUl

Texas Conference will play every
other one. It woald be of special
laterest to see the HIU Billies taU

The score was DBC It HPC 0.
This year brought the advent of
more of the Texas Conference
teams renewing competition. Aus-
tin College renewed an old rivalry
with Southwestern University and
was able to eke out a 7-6 victory.
They too play Trinity U. this year.
For the first time Texas Wesleyan
was able to schedule nearly the
full conference schedule. Oh hall
the day when we have a round
robin playoff.

I guess you all have heerd a good bit o Prattin' and Prattling
about this here proposition of mobillisashun. Well ye might as
well hear now that yore son am also in the army naow. A smart
alec young feller came bouncin' up to me and says "Yung feller1
be ye of registering age?" I says yessir but I am a half-breed and
I ain't so sure that I would be subject to registration. You see my
Pa was a Coy and married a Martin and thet makes me almost
less than nothin.'" Then he says that I am eligible and starts
poppin' questions at me sech as "Where wuz ye born? County
State Town? What color are your eyes? How tall are ye? How
mcch do ye way? What race do ye come of? and stuff." My answers
came back jest as quick and fast I sez to him sez I "Two whoops
and a holler frum Chittlin' Switch. Giles County State ye what?
Muckledun eyes. Nigh to seven sniffs and a hand hi I come of
the huntan race idgit. Never let it be said thet a son of Elijah
Coy let a city slicker git the best of him. No soriee. So yere

In 1940; C. W. Utley All-State cen-
ter in Missouri In 1938; Lloyd
Rockenbaugh proficient guard
and a host of other Freshmen who

For the second time in less than
twenty-five years Daniel Baker
has lost part of Its male enroll-
ment to Uncle Sam's Army. In 1917
a greater portion of the boys at-
tending Daniel Baker left school
in order that they might enlist in
the United States Army. The
school was left practically with-
out any boyn among its enroll-
ment. Although troops were train-
ed here on the campus.
Now again after slightly more
than twenty three years Daniel
Baker has had to give up part of
Its enrollment to the United States
Army. Several students joined the
Army Air Corp during the past
summer. However the first per-
son to heed their country's call for
service after the present school
term started was Andy Campbell
Junior student here in Daniel Ba-
ker and also a member of the Hill
Billy football and basketball
teams. Campbell was called to the
colors-early In October.
When the 136th Division of the
Texas National Guard began to
mobolize Sunday morning two
Daniel Baker students were found
among the first to report. They
were Egbert Pate Junior student
here and an oustandlng end on
the football squad; and (Oscar)
Aubrey Wilhelm prominent boxer
In this area. Wilhelm was a senior
at Daniel Baker and was expected
to graduate In June. Pate and Wil-
helm will be stationed at Camp
Bowie here In Brownwood.
