AGGIE "B" TEAM DEFEATS TARLETON 13 TO 0 LAST FRIDAY
French Government Fears Belgium
Is Lost As France's Military Ally
MARRIAGES DECREASE IN
ITALY DESPITE IL DUCE
French government expressed
fears Sunday night that Belgium
was lost to France forever as a
military ally, despite Belgian as-
surance for the present she con-
siders all treaty obligations in ef-
fect
Belgium and France have a uni-
lateral mutual assistance pact,
Belgium is a member of the League
of Nations, and both she and
France was assured Belgium mili-
tary aid only during the period be-
fore any new Locarno conference
policy from one of prewar neutral-
ity.
French Foreign Office officials
pinned most of their hopes for a
Belgian alliance in the event of
■war on Belgium's colonial and geo-
graphical situations, rather than
on an altered political trend with-
in the nation itself.
"The time may come", a spokes-
man said, "when Belgium may have
to think about protecting her colo-
nies from aggression. She should
need strong allies to do it, and a
position of neutrality would be in-
compatible in these days with the
world's third largest colonial em-
pire,
Italian Marriages Decrease
Marriages are sharply on the de-
cline in Italy, despite II Duce's
campaign for larger families, des-
pite the many facilities for mar-
ried couples, government wedding
gifts, money subsidies for large
families, an incessant propaganda,
and a camparatively large tax on
bachelors.
Marriages in 1935, according to
figures just published, are appre-
ciably below those of 1934, and a
wail for more and earlier mar-
riages is echoing throughout the
land from officials and editorial
writers. .
Arabs Give Up Attacks on Jews
In Palestine, the Arab uprising
against Jewish immigrations came
to an abrupt end after 24 weeks of
strife.
Following the decree of martial
law in Palestine and the departure
of reinforcements from England
the Arab chieftains suddenly end-
ed their guerilla warfare and dem-
onstrations against the Jews.
The uprising had been marked
by its violence against not only
the Pews but the British, Whether
or not the British made any eon-
cessions was not disclosed, but the
end of the uprising likewise ended
one of the most serious British
colonial troubles in recent years.
Far East Tension Greater
In the Far East, a new element
has entered into the strained re-
lationship between China and Ja-
pan—the question of a British ex-
tension of credit to China to in-
crease trade between the two na-
tions.
Since the World War, Japanese
merchants have greatly increased
their trade in China, especially in
the cotton-goods industry. The Jap-
anese were enabled to do this by
producing much cheaper and sell-
ing much cheaper. Now, Britain
proposes to strengthen its Chinese
trade with an extension of credit.
What Japan's position would be,
to some extent, would depend up-
on the amount and nature of the
credit. There was some indications
the British announcement would
come next week.
In Shanghai, no basis was found
for continuing the negotiations be-
tween China, according to Chiang
Kai-Shek, director of the Nanking
Central Government, and Japanese
representatives. Those negotiations
were designed to settle differences
between Nanking and Tokio and
lessen the tension between the two
peoples.
TARLtTON IMtS ON
HILLSBORB IN ONE OF
CONFERENCE GAMES
Aitus Defeais N. T. A. C. 25 to 7;
Ns Conference Games Were
Played Last Week
Tarleton faces Hillsboro Friday

ference teams to win a victory so
far, and they will be fighting for

Not a single conference game
| was played last week in the Cen-
tral Texas Junior College Confer-

ference games N. T. A, C. was

at whut they wuz n-talking about;
It wuz two little kewties thet wuz
goin on about failing—Lorena
Miers and Ruth Martin.
"I thot yew. took history last
yr." said Lorena.
"I did," said Ruth, 'But them
teechurs likt my work so good thet
they enchored me."
Thet didn't seem sew good tew
me, but it dua kinds make it easier
to understand why sum ov them
teachers or kinda pressin fur parts
of the clas to take their subjects
again next yr.
"Oh, well/' said Lorena, "I've
herd thet history alwez repeets its-
self."
"Yea," set Ruth, "I've had it fur
the last three yrs,"
I herd sum boys a talking th
other day about prayers, an Scott
Casey wuz asked if his father
evur praid at meels at home. "Oh,
yea" sed Scott, "He praid pretty
often, Usto, when we set down,
he'd draw a long breathe and say;
'Oh, Lord, we've got beans agin.'"
Thet mite hev an application
hear at Tarleton. Maybe Miss Mon-
tague cud add thet tu her usual
prayer. It wud sorta prepare us
and make a nice ending besids.
Lone Game for A,&M. Team Results
In Victory on Historic Kyle Field
GAME IS GOOD LUCK FOR
VARSITY BATTLE NEXT DAY
Featuring Henry Dittman, spee-
dy and elusive halfback from Goose
Creek, the Texas Aggie "B" team
defeated the John Tarleton Plow-
boys 13 to 0 Friday afternoon. The
game was played on historic Kyle
Field before a crowd of 2,000 fans.
The tilt was the lone one for the
Aggie "B" squad this season.
Aggie Varsity players, watching
the game from the stands, took the
"B" squad's victory as an omen of
good luck for the Aggie-Texas
Christian game played Saturday
afternoon. All Aggieland was prim-
ed for the Purple and White, sport-
ed by both Tarleton and the Horned
Frogs. Incidentally, the Aggies
took the Froggies for the first time
since 1924.
Dittman sprinted around right
end in the second quarter for 25
yards and the first touchdown and
then circled -end early in the fourth
period for 50 yards and the second
touchdown. Jack Cooper, quarter-
PITCHERS
Miss Nadine Keith, a graduate of
last year, visited on the Tarleton
campus last week. She is now at-
tending Texas Christian Univer-
sity at Fort Worth.
Last fridy morning- in cbappull,
about the time id got my yeller
pensil sharpend up and wuz settlin
down to draw a pitchur of Dean
Davis whil he wuz announsin new
rules tu git demerits fur, i herd

down but failed in his second place
booting effort.
The Plowboys approached scor-
ing territory only once. Tinker's
pass to Otis Parks in the second
quarter was good for 31 yards and
a first down on the Aggie 20 yard
line, but Dittman intercepted a toss
on the next play.
The Aggies made 12 first downs
to the Plowboys 5 and rolled up a
total of 253 yards from runs and
passes to Tarleton's 75. The power-
ful Aggie reserve line bit deeply
into the Plowboy running attack
and tossed it a net loss of 18 yards
during the afternoon.
Because of its small squad, eight
Aggie reserves played the entire
sixty minutes, Dittman stood out
among the Aggies, but Joe Turner,
tackle and fullback, and Wessen-
dor, Aggie center, also played bril-
liant games.
th othur day an herd tu of those
pianev pupils talkin tu teach oth-
ers, on th way tu practice. They
wuz Lena Ruth Petty and Missie
Kpurgeon.
"I can play fur nigh onto three
hours an not stop," sed Missie
Spurgeon.
"Thet's nuthin," sed Lena, "I
can play the Stars and Stripes
Furever." Did thet shut her up?
She folded like a paper napken.
Well, i guess i'll sharpin up niy
yeller pensil and finish thet pitcher
that i begun uv, d«an davis. Must
do.
Mr. Luper played at the First
Baptist church in Dublin last Sun-

For the Plowboys everyone did
his best. The Aggies were just the
best ball club. Then too, the Plow-
boy star, Clifford Funderburk, was
unable to play because of illness.

Otis Parks, Ernest Pannell and
