With the season about to begin,
the one big trouble with the Saint
Ed’s five is that they haven’t had
time to get used 'to playing togeth-
er. If in the first couple of games
which promise to stand the fashion
world on its respective ears.
Just what Bud Brannon’s Sophs
have to offer in the way of com-
petition for the upper classmen re-
mains to be seen. Brannon and his
running mate, Lynch Gratton, have
looked good in all-star clashes to
date, but they are faced with the
problem of finding men for three
other positions and replacements.

In the last issue of the ECHO,
Wed., Dec. 7, in a front page
article entitled ‘“Merle Bf.enna
Draws Blood Before Scientists
in Academy’’ the following sen-
tence appeared: The red cell
count is about 5 million for
men and 5 hundred thousand
for women. The sentence should
read: The cell count is about 5
million for men and 4 million 5
hundred thousand for women.
These figures are for each cubic
millimeter of blood.
The terror of the dentist chair
will become as obsolete as the dodo
if all the claims of analgesia are as
factual as Luther N. Hull claimed
they are when he addressed the
Science Club at its last meeting
for the year 1938 on Thursday,
Dec. 15. With the bugaboo of pain
blotted out, dentists may look for-
ward to a business as prosperous
as a Federal aid project. And all
because of analgesia.
This comparative recent discov-
ery of science was defined by Mr.
Hull as insensibility to pain with-
out the loss of consciousness. Anal-
gesia must not be confused with
ordinary anesthetics such as ether,
gas or the less popular chloriform.
Under the influence of analgesia
the patient only loses the sensibil-
ity to pain. He retains conscious-
ness and thus the use of all his
other senses.
Suitable awards will be made to
each member of the winning team
taking part in tournament play.
Competent 'officials will be furnish-
ed for the entire meet with two
arbitrators calling each contest.
Referees will be chosen from the
ranks of varsity basketball players
with “Blind Tom” Ed Norris and
Jitterbug Ermis getting the nod in
the opening game.
In early season play, Coach
Tom Meeks’ Senior Scarlets have
impressed onlookers with their
classy play. They have three per-
formers who are strong contenders
for all tournament honors. They
are Red Moller, Pat McGinley and
Jimmy McLoughlin, stellar little
scoring threat. The terrible Scar-
lets bold an easy win over the
High School Cubs and have shown
power in workouts.
The "peach-basket" sport will reign high in the activities
of sport here on the campus for the next month or so. Given
a slow impetus shortly before Christmas, basketball has
suddenly jumped up as the basket-tossing craze swept the
campus and the center of activities moved from the football
*' field into the gymnasium.
Coach Tom Fleming sent his cagers ,into exhaustive drills
this week in preparation for the first clash with Southwest-
ern University at Georgetown, January 18, which will offici-
,open the basketball season here. The Tiger's schedule,
to date, includes something like seventeen games, seven of
which will be home games.
Then the opening of the ECHO Intermural Cage Tourney,
Friday, Jan. 10, will bring more entertainment to sport-lov-
ing fans here at St. Ed's. The Senior class team still held the
long end of the odds as contesting teams sought the gym
consistently for practice.
Not to be outdone by the others, the Preps entered the
spotlight by advancing themselves in the Manor High tourney
to the quarter-finals until being bumped off by Manor High
itself. Well, better luck next time.

Well pals, here it is almost the middle of January and the
year 1938 is well into history, only to be resurrected now and
then in some secluded "reverie." It might be well at this
time to recast some of the memorable events and unforget-
able scenes of the latter half of that year.
Some of the most vivid of that history-making epoch . . .

k glances the first views of football practice

those hectic days immediately preceding mid-semester
exams that disastrous Houston game .... the bland
look and vacant stare on the faces of the fellows that last,
long, week before Xmas holidays these are only a
few of the multiple events and happenings which went to
make that part of the year memorable and thought-recalling.
Do you remember?
The condition of insensibility to
pain is caused by unbalancing the
normal nitrogen content in the
blood plasma. Normal blood plasma
contains in simple solution about
1.7 per cent nitrogen and .24 per
cent oxygen. That is, approximat-
ely seven parts of nitrogen for
every part of oxygen. In nitrous
oxide analgesia, the ratio of 25
parts nitrous oxide to one part of
oxygen is effected in the blood
plasma. This disturbance of the
physiological balance of the blood
plasma is just enough to maintain
consciousness and yet affect the
sensory nervous centers which gov-
ern the sense of pain.
Basketball got under way on the
hill top this week as Ed Fleming
Tiger coach, put his charges
through their first workouts. Pros-
pects for a conference title seemed
dim, but with a few more days
practice things should brighten up
a bit.
The team has had very little
time to work out this year due to
the fact that most of the boys were
out for football until the holidays
started. This may be the reason
for the slowness with which the
boys have been getting along. Even
though they have been' coming
along slow a few of the boys have
at times shown quite a bit of prom-
ise.

The biggest trouble Coach Flem-
ing is having is trying to figure out
who is to play at the guard posts
and the other forward position. At
the present it seems that Bobby
Doetsch and Bob Jens have the
upper hand, but they will have to
go some to beat out Rupel and
Derdak. Both Rupel and Derdak
are letter men from last yeiar’s
team and both are exceptionally
good guards and both hustle the
ball well. As for Doetsch and Jens
very little is known about them,.
Some say that Doetsch is better
than Snag Norris, but so far he
hasn’t shown it. However, he has
shown that he can hit the hole
regularly, which, after all,
is the idea of the game. Till now
Jens has shown only possibilities
at odd times, but Fleming says that
within a few weeks he will be rec-
ognized as the best guard to ever
grace the floor of Saint Ed’s gym.

Nitrous oxide is particularly ap-
plicable in dentistry. It can be used
for the preparation of cavities, in
preparing abuttments for crowns
and for setting bridges in hyper-
sensative teeth. It is not practical
in the extraction of teeth since the
insensibility to pain lasts only one
or two minutes after inhaling the
nitrous oxide and leads to extreme
discomfort immediately after
extraction.
The alleviation of pain is un-
doubtedly the most important ob-
jective in dentistry today. Nitrous
Oxide analgesia is easy to admin-
ister and the equipment is simple
in operation. Analgesia makes it
possible to obtain the confidence of
the patient and if the an:
properly given there will be
disturbance of comfort either
ing or after the treatment.
Friday 13th is the big day on the campus as far as the
intramural basketball schedule is concerned, for that evening
at 7:30 the first round of the ECHO basketball tournament
will get under way. The opening clash will find the Senior
Scarlet Scourges pitted against a
tet while exactly one hour later a***"
star-studded Frosh team will take
the floor against a Junior outfit
which boasts of such heroes as Phil
“Goon” Reynolds and Red Stoner.
Reynolds and Stoner are former
varsity lettermen and this year are
making their first appearance into
the ranks of intramurtl play.
The ECHO tournament is to be
run off on the crou'ole elimination
plan. A team will have to lose two
games before being dropped from
play. Only men who have not com-
peted in varsity basketball during
the present season are eligible for
play.
Monday night’s card will find
the Sophomores lined up against
the Junior five while Bro.Alex’s am-
bitious Frosh cagers meet the
Seniors. Play will get under
in Mon-
Angelo Junior College, a I
junior college club, twice.

who have won national recognition
for their consistency on the hard-
wood and their fine string of vic-
tories of last year and the year be-
fore, twice felt the sting of the
Jacket sharpshooters on the Plow-
boys’ own court.
The high-scoring trio of Smith
and Todd, forwards, and Warren,
center, account for most of the
Jacket tallies. They are aided and
abetted in their scoring sprees by
the excellent “ball feeding” of the
guards, Strickland and McBride.

Bill Kernan flew to Washington
during the holidays with the Ran-
dolph Field Polo Team. Bill is a
4 former member of the Cornell polo
team and judging from their trip
he must be considered very reliable
with the ‘“stick.” He was spend-
ing the vacation with his parents
at Randolph Field when approached
with an offer of the trip.
The team, in charge of Lieuten-
ant Johnson, left Randolph Field
at 6:30 a.m. on December 29. The
only stop was to refuel at Maxwell
Field, Montgomery, Alabama. They
- arrived at Bolling Field in Washing-
ton about 5:00 o’clock the same
evening. The team immediately
went to Fort Meyer where the game
was played.
The Texans came out winners by
a score of 15 to 7. Six of the 15
. Jjtexan points were made by St.
k"“~^5d’s own Bill Kernan. Due to the
severe cold it was an indoor game,
hence it lasted for only four chuck-
ers with but three men on each
side.
The team returned by the
route the following day.
Students interested in following
a record of Tiger sports will find
a better than average scrap book
covering the activity of last year's
basket ball team on display in the
University Library. The book was

of Austin.
The book contains pictures of

The Freshman team is working
out nightly under the direction of
Brother Alexander, veteran of many
cage wars, and will start play in
a favored position. Such flashes as
“Cotton” Kingston, “Red” Jones
and Bill Sullivan promise great
things for the first year men and
they must be watched by opposing
teams. However, Frank Neville and
Culwell may be the best men in
the cage meet before play is ended.
