Elmore Borchers, debate coach,
served as sole critic judge in a debate
between Baylor college and Southwest
Texas State Teachers college held at
Belton Tuesday evening, Feb. 16. The
contest was between two teams com-
posed of girls representing the two
schools.
The subject dealt with the plan of
centralized control of industry, and the
decision was awarded to the negative
■side, represented by Baylor.
The new rulings for football as
agreed upon by the rules committee of
the National Collegiate Athletic asso-
ciation are beyond all doubt sound and
sane. They are designed to protect
players, and that is one of the impor-
tant functions of regulations in a game
where bodily contact is essential. Dur-
ing the past season the number of
deaths from football mounted so high
that followers of the sport saw a ne-
cessity for modification in some man-
ner in order to insure more protection.
Five important rules were passed, of
which four were designed to protect
the player. The other concerns a dead
ball. The rule about use of hands on the
head, designed to protect players froin
severe blows on neck, head, and other
vital places, will be difficult to enforce.
Of course all of the rules will undergo
several interpretations and before the
next season opens very likely more
laxity will be found than the rules just
passed were intended to permit. The
rule concerning the use of hands on
the head will necessitate more officials.
It was almost impossible for the head
linesman and the umpire to see all that
was going on in the close line play in
the past. But now it will be impossi-
ble. A defensive player may strike at
the shoulder of an opponent, miss his
cue, and strike a blow on the head.
To have the player ousted for the ac-
tion and his team penalized seems to
be an injustice. However, as was said
before, the interpretations of the rules
will mean much, and no doubt interpre-
tations will be given before very long.

At a recent meeting of the Knights
of Columbus, Father Mooney demon-
strated very aptly what a great help
it can be to any organization to inject,
a little spirit into the members. He
headed a little program of fun with a
good serious speech on the importance
and significance of boy guidance work.
He offered the St. Edward’s council
one hour of his time every week to ex-
plain and outline for interested mem-
bers the nature of the work. Not only
members of the organization, but also
other students interested were invited.
The first lecture on Monday night drew
a large crowd in view of the fact that
a basket ball game was going on dur-
ing the latter part of the hour.

Now that we learn that Dennis Col-

Bertrand and Hartmann were very
much disappointed when they learned
that sophomores were ineligible for the
popularity contest.

The Silver Harmony quartet, made
up of Dekkers, Mr. Chile, Red Stinson,
and Mr. Watterman, is becoming quite
popular on the campus for its selec-
tions of songs in the negro dialect, par-
ticularly those of their own composi-
tion. Look out, Flunkies.

Several expressed - surprise when
they learned of the ruling of the S. A.C.
allowing junior and senior members
of the Echo staff to compete in the
popularity contest. One should con-
sider, however, that all the offices of
the Activities council are held by Echo
staff men.

Everyone welcomed Father Walter
O’Donnell’s return to the campus after
several weeks in-the hospital. His ap-
pendix did not return with him, and
apparently his health is much better.
He began teaching again last Monday.
Father Drummey has also returned
from the hospital where he had been
for several weeks.

About this time last year Bobbie
Michel was nominated in this little
galley as the ideal St. Ed’s man. There
has been no change in the policy of
this column. In fact that conviction
has only grown stronger on the editor
with the passing of time. Beside being
a great fellow, Bobbie plays golf rather
well. A round with him convinced us
that he is trying to live up to the
standard of the name as set by the
great Jones of Atlanta.

Just nosing around a few nights ago,
and walked into the auditorium for no
other reason than—well, because the
lights were on. Found Father Mac-
Namara drilling casts for the three
plays that were given last Friday. All
are short one-act plays written by stu-
dents in the drama class taught by
Father MacNamara. The plays gave
convincing proof that there exists
among students writing ability that is
not often brought to the fore. This is
the first time for some years that stu-
dent plays have been staged.

Acertain gallant freshman was in
a bad fix to fill a date with his leading
lady the other night. Not only did he
have to borrow a shirt and necktie
from Pat Butler, a pair of socks from
McGur-n, and a limousine from Leary;
but he had to hit up another of his
friends for two-bits in order to buy
refreshments for his date.

order to pick up Butler and Dennis
Clyde Sunday evening.

ELMORE BORCHERS SERVES
AS CRITIC JUDGE
Valentine day brought with it the
annual influx of a great heap of mail.
Many students who were awaiting the
regular allowance from the pater,
wore looks of disgust as they opened
the envelope and found, instead of a
check, some distorted humorous picture
plus a humorous or sarcastic rhyme,
sent by some admirer. There is noth-
ing so embarrassingly galling as to re-
ceive a pertinent and sarcastic Valen-
tine and then be unable to discover
the source .... especially when you
know that some one on the campus or
some other friend sent it. Apparently
many of those distributed here were
mailed in the city, which makes the
source more uncertain than ever. To
add to the confusion, handwritings
may so easily be disguised. The most
remarkable angle noticeable to the
writer is the fact that he received not
one. Usually he was the object of
many a dig by way of well picked Val-
entines, but this year nary a one did
he get .... not bragging, but remark-
ing. And very glad to be able simply to
remark about the fact.
