DALLAS, Nov. 9.—(AP)—On the fringe of a wilderness
that has held them fast for a dozen years, a magnificent Texas
Aggie football team Saturday makes its bid to step into day-
light while a nation watches.
Down on their own Kyle field, where once they were al-
most unbeatable, they meet Southern Methodist in football’s
game of the day.

Ticket sales skied to the 25,000

NEW YORK, Nov. 9.— (UP)—To
a stranger it may seem cold, aloof ;
its seven millions intent only on
providing for themselves. But,
stranger, it is not. New York is a
city with a heart.
Beneath its bright, tinseled exter-

it has the warmth of a village and

the final vote on the question
of pari-mutuels versus book-
makers was tabulated. By an
overwhelming majority New
York City elected to remove the
bookies from the racing tracks
and supplant them with the
warm, friendly, lovable pari-
mutuels.
You know, those ingratiating,
motherly pari-mutuel machines
which blow you a kiss and a bless-

remain steadfast through the years.

man can make his way to the wait-
ing arms of the pari-mutuel ma-
chines and unburden his wallet of
its, last two-dollar bill. The ma-
chines play no favorites Overalls
or tweeds, cotton or silks, hand-me-

seven winners a day, with the eighth!
