With the time left in which to
collect the material for their tra-
ditional bonfire limited to less than
one week, Freshmen worked fever-
ishly this week in an attempt to
beat the “deadline” for their fire.
For the past several weeks, under '
the able direction of President Dow-
giello and Vice President Ruggieri,
the belabored Frosh have made
several successful major drives and
have succeeded in massing quite
an impressionable pile of debris,
despite the fact that their only
method of transportation was a
pair of mules and a wagon.
The bonfire is to be one of the
feature events on the program for

In quaint old picturesque New
Orleans last week was celebrated
the eighth National Eucharistic
Congress. With palm trees lining
the streets and every flower bed
blossoming with bright colored
zinnias, the city was beauty in the
extreme.
George William Cardinal Mun-
delein, Archbishop of Chicago and
personal representative of Pope
Pius XI, was formally received in
New Orleans as Papal legate at
historic St. Louis Cathedral Mon-
day afternoon inaugurating the
eighth National Eucharistic Con-
gress.
The papal bull appointing Car-
dinal Mundelein to preside over the
Congress for the next three days
was read, first in Latin then in
English. His Eminence, Cardinal
Mundelein, speaking from the pul-
pit of St. Louis Cathedral, ac-
knowledged his welcome and ex-
plained the purpose of the Eucha-
ristic Congress.
Colorful Pageantry
Within the cathedral members of
the Catholic hierarchy red-robed,
clergy of the Archdiocese of New
Orleans and surrounding bishoprics,
papal knights and dignitaries of
state and city lent a splash of color
to the most brilliant ceremonies
in the history of St. Louis Ca-
thedral. Other thousands on the
outside in Jackson Square listened
to the ceremonies over the loud-
speaker and, as Cardinal Munde-
lein and the hierarchy moved down

The present year at St. Edward’s
University has been called an “Ex-
pansion Year” by University of-
ficials. Just how apt that title
is, under the administration of the
Reverend Patrick J. Haggerty, C.
S.C., present President of the Uni-
versity, is clearly seen by one who
glances retrospectively over the
past six months.
A new kitchen, equipped with
the latest kitchen conveniences,
prepares sumptuous meals at hours
most agreeable for the students.
The old dining hall has been re-
placed by a tastily decorated cafe-
teria, well-lighted and convivial.
Tables for four lend an atmosphere
of chattiness that was sadly lack-
ing under the former system.
The recreation room for college
men is a students’ paradise. Radio,
pool table, ping pong table, piano
and tables for cards provide di-
version for the most pleasure lov-
ing of individuals.
Not even the living quarters
have been neglected. During the
summer months, Holy Cross Hall
has been completely refurnished.
Each room is now equipped with
twin beds, two all-steel lockers and
two durable, attractive desks.
Separation of the high school
from the University is another
ideal that is practically realized.
Within the next two weeks, work-
men will have completed their work
of converting the convent into a
hall for high school boarders.

of them is relatively small at a
given place.
Father Baldwin, like every other
physicist, is not interested so
much in putting these particles to
work in a practical manner, as in
the endeavor to learn more about
the nature of the physical world.
Last summer he worked under Dr.
A. H. Compton, Nobel prize-winner
at Chicago University, one of the
foremost men ini the cosmic ray
field. Father Baldwin was asked
by Dr. Compton to make certain
studies of the cosmic ray in Texas.
This is the first time that an
experiment in the field of cosmic
rays has been conducted at Texas
University. The members of the
Physics Department of the Uni-
versity have shown a gratifying
interest in the work, and have
given Father Baldwin effectual
and courteous cooperation.
The St. Edward’s Tigers received
another boost in the way of pub-
licity last Wednesday when Coach
Bill Pierce and three of his stal-
warts went on the air waves by
way of Wheatie’s Texas Football
review. Broadcasting from the
downtown studios of KNOW, Pierce
introduced Goon Reynolds, Ed Nor-
ris and Nace Formagus, and the
Saint luminaries seemed to enjoy
the proceedings immensely.
The fifteen minute broadcast was
one of a series designed to present
Texas football dope to the sport
fans of this state. The program
was carried over a network of 23
stations.
Pierce spoke first, commenting
on the strength of Texas Confer-
ence clubs and making clear to
the radio public in no uncertain
The Reverend James E. Norton,
C. S. C., Head of the Department
of Economics at the University,
will read a paper before the Social
Science Division of the Texas
Academy of Science when it con-
venes at Waco for its annual meet-
ing on November 11 and 12. The
paper will discuss the “Background
of the Dispute Between the C. I. O.
and the A. F. of L.”
For the past four years, Father
Norton has been a member of the
Texas Academy of Science, an or-
ganization with which practically
all the colleges and universities
of Texas are affiliated.
The Reverend Frank J. O’Hara,
C. S. C., Dean of the College of
Science, and student delegates from
the local Academy of Science will
also attend.
Both Father O’Hara and Father
Norton were instrumental in or-
ganizing the Junior Academy of
Science of which St. Edward’s is a
charter member. The first and
present secretary of that Academy
is Roy Larson, science major of
’38.

sity is operated independently of
Notre Dame. Pat Adelman, ace
TQN commentator, then inter-
viewed Goon Reynolds, asking such
interesting questions as how the
Goon got his unusual name.
Ed Norris, injured Tiger center,
then faced the mike and told listen-
ers how he scored 21 points in 20
against Daniel Baker in a basket-
ball game last winter. He then
gave pointers on how to hold down

Last spring the Reverend Geo.
J. Baldwin, C. S. C. began research
work in the Physics Department
at Texas University. Scientific in-
struments and other apparatus had
to be constructed and set up in
preparation for the actual re-
search. This process is now nearly
complete so that Father Baldwain
can take up the experiment of
measuring the intensity of cosmic
rays striking the earth from
various directions. This is a test
of the equations derived by La-
maitre and Vallarta.
■ Cosmic rays are charged par-
ticles that strike the earth after
coming from beyond inter-stellar
space. The study of these rays is
a comparatively new field. Before
they reach us they pass through
the earth’s magnetic field, in which
their path is deflected. The energy
contained in one of these particles
is immense, although the number

The Reverend Norman Johnson,
C. S. C., former Head of the De-
partment of English at St. Ed-
ward’s and now stationed at Water-
town, Wisconsin, has composed
“Swing Along, St. Edward’s” as
the official song of the University.
This is the first song Father
Johnson has attempted, though he
has previously written a number
of verses and lyrics. Poetry from
his pen has appeared in the AVE
MARIA, POETRY and COMMON-
WEAL, and the SATURDAY
EVENING POST has used parodies
and light verse written by him.
St. Edward’s has long needed a
spirited school song. That used
in the past was borrowed almost
bodily from another University
after slight changes were made
in the lyric.

Brother Lambert, C. S. C., ar-
rived last Friday to begin his duties
as Steward and Head of the Main-
tenance Department at the Uni-
versity. He succeeds Brother
Campion, C. S. C., who will devote
his complete time to his work as
assistant Treasurer.
During the past six years,
Brother Lambert was General
Steward for the Congregation of
Holy Cross at its motherhouse in'
Notre Dame, Indiana. He brings
to his new position a wealth of ex-
perience, a practical business in-
sight and an attractive person-
ality.
The Saint Edward’s University
Choir will make its first public ap-
pearance of the season, November
6, with the singing of the Pontifical
Mass, which will open the state-
wide meeting of the National Coun-
cil of Catholic Women in the city
of Austin. The Mass, which will
begin at 10:00 o’clock Sunday
morning in St. Mary’s Church, will
be celebrated by his Excellency,
Christopher E. Byrne, Bishop of
Galveston.
The choir was organized shortly
after the beginning of the scholastic
year under the able direction of
the Reverend James E. d’Autre-
mont, C. S. C. It entered into a
series of final rehearsals this week
in preparation for the event which

Six Months of
Progress at
St. Edward’s
The Academy of Science held its
second meeting of the year Thurs-
day, October 20. After the cus-
tomary opening prayer, led by
Father O’Hara, the meeting as-
sumed the usual procedure. The
main -points of interest discussed
under the heading of business were
fees and initiation. The purpose
for the assessment of fees was dis-
cussed thoroughly in a short talk
by Father O’Hara, in which he
stated that the Academy assessed
a nominal fee each month to cover
expenses such as refreshments and
initiation; and, that a special fee
was charged new members to cover
membership in the Texas Academy
of Science. The date, for initiation
was set at November 3.
Papers Read
The papers for the night were
next presented by Leandro Rendon
and Charles Konze on “Composi-
tion of the Blood” and “Coagulation
of the Blood,” respectively. Both
topics were well covered and the
material was made more interest-
ing by additional information sup-
plied by Fr. O’Hara and the Pro-
fessors Joe Cardaro and Clifford
Mihm. Since most of the members
were faimiliar with the topics dis-
cussed, the meeting was kept at
a lively pace with interesting ques-
tions and discussions on the topics.
The meeting was longer than usual
due to the questions and discus-
sions, but the delay was rewarded
by refreshments supplied by the
committee.
The lone injured player in the
Tiger camp was rapidly rounding
into shape and Tiger victory
hopes brightened today with the
announcement that Louis Woehl
may be able to play at least part
of the tilt with McMurry. Woehl
has been out of the line-up since
the Lamar game when he sustained
a twisted knee.
Woehl’s twisting, driving runs
were missed in the Daniel Baker
clash at Brownwood last week.
With the' return of Woehl to the
active list, “Chief” Merrem will be
sent back to his end post. Merrem the pep rally on the

Woehl has been absent from the
line-up.
An appeal to student drivers to
do their part for safety was issued
early today by the Austin Police
Department. Since the city’s spot-
less death record was broken last
Tuesday, four fatalities have been
chalked up. Law enforcement
agencies are making desperate ap-
peals to all civic organizations to
cooperate in making streets safe.
Because a fair piece of Austin’s
population is made up of students,
the police department today asked
all students to observe the rules
of safe and sane driving and walk-
ing when using local streets.
“We believe that students, at
Austin’s two Universities will un-
derstand that all traffic regulations
are passed and enforced for their
own benefit and will aid in observ-
ing the laws,” an Austin police
official said in a statement to the
ECHO.

that set Baker back on their one
yard line.
Snodgrass once more attempted
to get his ball club out of hot
water but Jim Potts, raging tackle
from Floresville, stormed in and
blocked the kick, with the ball
bounding out of the end zone for a
safety.
Tigers Superior Throughout
St. Edward’s was the better ball
team all the way, with their beefy
line holding the Billies to three
first downs on running plays. The
other two Baker first downs re-
sulted from penalties. In the second
quarter, the Tigers appeared touch-
down bound but a penalty for hold-
ing cut short that effort. The en-
tire Daniel Baker offence was built
around Snodgrass and the big,
rangy Billie gave St. Edward’s
some trouble early in the contest.
Pierce used every man on the
bench before the game was over
and could probably have had more
scores if he had so wished. With
the Billies slugging, kneeing and
roughing constantly, however, he
JR wisely took the first string out of
’ the fray.

St. Edward’s Choir
Sings November 6
Climaxing annual home coming
activities at Saint Edward’s Uni-
versity, will be the football game
between the Saint Edward’s Tigers
and the McMurry Indians from
Abilene.
Never, since the two schools be-
gan their athletic relationship, has
a Tiger aggregation won a victory
over the Indians, and this year Bill
Pierce and his boys will be shoot-
ing the works in an effort to break
into the win column.
When the Tigers take the field
they will be minus the services of
Louis Woehl, hard-hitting full-
back, who suffered a knee injury
in the game with Lamar.
Replacing Woehl will be Duke
Kuzmicz, freshman from South
Bend, whose play has been im-
proving with .each game. To al-
ternate with Duke will be Jim
Rupel, a letterman last year at
quarterback but who has been
shifted to full due to Woehl’s in-
jury.
Against McMurry the Saints
will probably stick to the ground,
with Leo Ermis and Bob Doetsch
doing most of the ball carrying.
Ermis and Doetsch are both fast
and shifty, with Ermis the likely
starter due to the experience he
has over Doetsch. The other back-
field positions will be filled by
Stoner at quarter and either Jens
or Reynolds at half.
To go with this backfield Pierce
has a strong line that will average
close to 200 pounds. The line play
so far this season has been good,
and Saturday night against Dan-
iel Baker it was far above par.
Standouts in the line are Jensen,
Ruggierri, Formugus and Meeks.
In their opponents, the McMurry
Indians, the Bengals will find a
hard charging, hard fighting club.
Starting the season out slow the
Redskins have been gathering mo-
mentum and will have just about
reached their peak when they in-
vade Austin.
Outstanding on the Indians’
team is Vernon Click, 170-pound
sophomore tackle from Greenville.
A hard blocker and tackler, Click
is material for all-conference hon-
or and will give the Tiger ball
carriers plenty of trouble.
In the backfield Coach Medley
will have a trio of backs that could
play on anybody’s team. At full
will be Buster Peek, 190-pound
pile driver, also there is Billy Grey
who is the greatest passer and
punter to ever grace the McMurry
campus. For speed the Indians
will have to offer the 164-pound
whirlwind named Emerson. Em-
erson is the leading Indian ball
carrier and is slated to see lots of
service against the Tigers.

line-up:

Jens Tallies Second Counter
Shortly thereafter, the Tigers
started another drive with Doetsch,
Reynolds and Kuzmicz taking turns
at ripping Daniel Baker’s line to
shreds, but the attack appeared to
be bogging down somewhere inside
the five yard line. At that point,
crafty Bill Pierce overcame that
difficulty by sending in another
team. In exactly two plays the
Saints had scored again. Quarter-
back Stoner wasted a play setting
up the Baker defense and then he
pulled a deceptive piece of magic
out of the bag and sent Bobby Jens
around his own left end for the
second marker. Ermis failed on
an attempted run for conversion
and St. Edward’s led 12-0.
Potts Blocks Kick for Safety
Daniel Baker came back swing-
ing everything but the bench but
after their running plays were en-
tirely smothered by an alert Tiger
forward wall they were forced to
punt. The Saints started another
drive that was halted on the three
. yard marker by the Billies. An
. exchange of punts followed with
Dowgiello, Nassour, Rupel, Mer-
rem, Potts, Whelton, Newcomb,
Reed, B. Reynolds.
