CECIL DANNENBAUM, NEWLY ELECTED
PRESIDENT OF M. M. SOCIETY, TQ BE INSTALLED
AT THE ANNUAL BANQUET NEW YEAR’S NIGHT
in congratulating the O.D.D. Club
on their victory-and to thank other
cluba for their part in making the
contest a success.
GRUENBAUM SAYS ONLY

POLISH JEWS GOING
Warsaw.—(JTA)—Continuing his
speech on the budget in the Sejm,
Deputy Isaac Greuenbaum said, “It
is due only to the assistance of the
American Joint that the Polish Jews
have kept on economically. No gov-
ernment minister would dare to
make such statements in Poland as
the Polish minister to the United
States, Pillpowitch made when he
said that there was no anti-Semitism
in Poland.”
When interrupted by the president
of the Progressive Deputies Club,
Slavek, who said, "but what does
Sholom Asch say?” Gruenbaum an-
swered, "you probably know that
Asch not only complimented the Pol-
ish government but also made de-
mands of it and made accusation. We
don't want your sentiments. It is
our duty to tell you the truth and we
will never beg favors from you but
only demand our rights.”

Amos Club
In one of the most thrilling games
ever to be played on a baaketball
court, the Amoa Club Gagers took
the highly touted Antlers basketball
team by the honors last Wednesday
night, downing them for a 17 to 16
loss. *
It was a nip and tuck affair with
both teams resorting to defensive
tactics throughout the contest. With
one minute to play and the Amos
club one ppint behind, Sammy Cohen,
flashy forward, sank the sphere
through the meshes, snatching vic-
tory from certain defeaL. Zaek Ja-
cobs, who was unable to start the
game, due to an injury to his ankle,
.later inserted himself into the line-
up led his team to victory, playing
u sensational brand of basketball.
The hard-fighting co-captain of the
Amos club, Sol Kaplan, contributed
to the Amos win, scoring points from
precarious angles of the court. The
\vi never the Antlers gives the Amos
club the leadership of the Commer-
cial League under the direction of.

The Amos club is also tied with
the l.K.X. for the lead ia the City

RICE NEW
YEAR'S EVE
FOLLIES
Grand Ballroom
Riee Hotel
Ac an aftermath- to a Huccesaful
season which closed last week with
the M. M. Society Sixth Annual
Charity Dance pronounced a huge
triumph and enjoyed by those at-
tending, the fraternity got down to
the task of arranging a New Year’s
party.
Plans are complete for the most
elaborate New Year affair ever given
by the M. M. Society. The affair,
as is the usual custom, is for mem-
bers and ladies only from ten till
three, at which time the hall is open
to their friends during the open house
period from three fo five. , '
The open house period, ti^which
the friends of the fraternity aro cor-
dially invited, is from three to five
and is strictly formal. You are wel-
come to join in the New Year frolics
during open house period.
This year, the same as last, the
M. M. Society will hold their annual
New Year watch at 3226 Vk Milam,
between Elgin and Stuart Streets.
At a recent meeting of the M. M.
Society an election of officers to be
installed New Year’s night at the
annual banquet was held with the
following results: Cecil Dannen-
baum, president; Milton Kosenzweig,
vice president; Eddie Rosenzweig,
secretary; Sam Epstein, correspond-
ent; Isndore Yonet, treasurer.
At the first regular -meeting in
January, the president-elect will ap-
point his committees to serve during
his administration; and much work
is ahead for these officers-elect in-
cluding a June invitation ranee and
the annual Mothers’ Day celebration.
With a feeling of pride and with-
out conceit, we say to you, “Watch
the M, M. Society grow in 1930 and
lead the way ns Houston’s first
ranking fraternity to a happier and
closer reunion of all locul clubs and
fraternities.”
The M. M. Society of Houston and
Shreveport take this means of wish-
ing their friends and fellow frater-
njties a very Happy and Successful
New Year.

In three games the l.K.X. team
has amassed 166 points to their op-
ponents’ 66, which is indeed a tribute
to the coaching ability of Reuben

would pick the following players as
an all-city team without a peer: Gold-
berg and A. Rubinstein, forwards;
Aronstein, center; Borschow and
Buck, guards.

lensky, and Marshall.
' At the present time these two
teams are tied with two wins each
in the City League' at the "Y" and
this game will decide the first half
winner and also .satisfy the players
and fans '’thirst” to 8*e fur fly.
