You perhaps wonder why we can make such a sub-
stantial reduction for prompt payment. After all, it is
simple when you understand our reason. In the first place
in the conduct of the business of a large corporation
there is much so-called "red tape” and correspondence.
Necessarily, on every delinquent account there is special
correspondence. If the subscriber allows his bill to run
until we are forced to discontinue there is, in addition to
several reports sent in to San Antonio, the time and wor-
ry of cutting off service, disrupting of employees’ work-
ing schedules, and later, when the subscriber comes in
pays his account and the $1 re-connect charge, there is
again endless "red tape” to go through with.
So,—the special rate of lc per kilowatt discount is made
to eliminate as much of that sort of worry and expense as
possible. Are you taking advantage of this opportunity
to make 30 per cent on your electricity investment? If not,
you are cheating yourself.

We believe you are .... and that is about the percentage
of saving effected when you pay your electricity bill be-
fore the 10th of the month following receipt of statement.
And yet, surprising though it may seem, there are many
peolpe right here in Alpine who will allow the 10th to
slip by without coming in and paying up. Nearly anyone
would be glad to invest money in a proposition where
they could realize 30 per cent on the investment. Why,
then, not pay your electricity account early in the month
in order to save 30 per cent? Surely, a "dollar saved is a
dollar made.”

SEATS FOR
Alpine Bucks signed up to keep
trianing without a break from
now until the end of the season
at a meeting Tuesday morning.
The Bucks realize that a fellow is
not at his best unless he is in real
shape so they all went on record
to keep training in every sense of
the word and ask the town to
watch them and report any player
who is caught smoking or other-
wise breaking training.

tried four, one of which was good
because an over-enthusiastic Sul
Ross back roughed the receiver.
Speaking of tough breaks, Sul
Ross got one when Swanson, star
end from Lousiiana, went out of
the brawl in the first half with a
sprained leg. This handsome fel-
low is one of the most potent ends
seen on Jackson field in many a
moon. While he was in the fray
he smeared boucoup plays from
astern, much to the chagrin of the
Mines backs. Here’s hoping he will
recover in time to astonish the
red men from McMurrays
The Sul Ross line was outcharg-
ed by the Mines forwards during
the first half of the game and
many Sul Ross efforts were check-
mated before the backs could get
going. During the last half, how-
ever, the linemen seemed to take
a new lease on life, pushing and
battering their opponents to a
fare-you-well. The boys up front
are a little raw yet for the most
part. With another year of sea-
soning they will be able to out-
charge and outfight anything in
the T. I. A. A.
Though suffering from the han-
dicaps of a slow field and a leaky
line, the Lobo backs did them-
selves justice. Clark was as slip-
pery as usual. Acker, first-year
half will be a tough egg to crack
indeed with another year of ex-
perience. Porter, though young,
showed that he is going to be a
line-buster of the first water when
he tore off a first down all by
having completed already the
greater portion of his work for a
Ph. D., with a history major. |
Charles LaMotte was appointed,
acting director of research in bio-
logy during the absence of H. J.
Cottle, who is away from th ecol-
lege on leave for the year 1929-
1930. Mr. LaMotte comes with the
best of recommendations, and the
society feels that he will do some
worthwhile things during his term
of office.

OPENING PLAY TUESDAY

Played here just as presented at the Cort Theatre in New York one
year—ONE OF THE BEST OF THE BRUNK SHOW-
The combination of a slow field
and a fast Miner" team was too
much for the Lobos last Saturday,
when a 0-0 tie was the best they
could do. This game is the first
that the Miners have played on
Sul Ross territory for four years
and the first in which they have
broken even with the locals for
even longer than that.
Though the Miners made four
first downs to the Lobos’ three,
they were slightly outplayed most
of the way, and the greater part
of the game took place in Miner
territory.
Sul Ross made two serious
threats at the Mucker goal but
both times they were turned back
by fumbles. One of the threats
looked as though it should have
been a touchdown. Sul Ross had
worked the ball to the Miner 11-
yard line when a lateral pass be-
hind the line of scrimmage was.
shot to Wicker, who juggled the
pill for a few moments, let it
touch the earth for a fraction of
a second, and then scooped it up
and ran through a broken field for
a touchdown. The officials, how-
ever, ruled that the pass was a
forward pass and that the ball
was fumbled and dead. Graves’
rushed down the sideline with a
rule book was unavailing and the
decision stood. A tough break for
Sul Ross.
McNeill’s kicking was one of the
features of the day. The iron man
played quarter and averaged 42
yards with his boots. Time and
again he broke loose with
perfect spirals that backed the
Muckers up against their own
goal line. One, a beauty, sailed
through the ozone for no less than
65 yards, where it stopped, as the
Mines safety man was nailed dead
in his tracks by two agressive Sul
Ross ends.
The Sul Ross average on punts
was 42 yds., while the Ore Diggers
did but 37. In addition, the Lobo
safety made some snappy returns,
while the opposition was halted in
its tracks without fail.
As both teams were fast and
depended on end-runs and off-
tackle plays as well as tricks of
all sort, they both were handicap-
ped. Many times perfect passes
sailed the place to where the re-
ceiver should have been only to
find him lumbering through the
mud ten yards away.
Sul Ross tried seven passes,
completing none; and Mines
