Wednesday afternoon on Evans
Field the Bobcats trounced the 2Srd
Infantry of Fort Sam Houston 37-
0 before a small but enthusiastic
audience that had nearly as much
fun as if it had been a conference
game. The game was a scrimmage
with the coaches remaining on the
field and engineering both attack
and defense. It was in prepara-
tion for the encounter with the
Sul Ross Lobos at Uvalde on Ar-
mistice Day, since the soldiers are
said to use plays similar to those
of the wolves. Scores were only
incidental, as both teams were try-
ing to perfect some new plays.
In the first period a score came
just before the whistle, and the
kick for extra point failed. During
the second quarter, two more
counters crossed the goal line and
both kicks failed. The regulars
were formidable with Germer hit-
ting the Soldiery for as many yards
as were needed in the pinches. Lit-
tle Sub Pyland was also knifing
through. Zunker got through re-
peatedly to smear the Army. Jan-
ca specialized in blocking punts and
tackling the passers. Bill Cum-
mins took a pass and raced 40
yards for a touchdown. Germer
accounted for the other two touch-
downs for the regulars.
In the last half both coaches
sent in new teams. Three scores
and an extra point were added by
the scrubs and the Privates were
blanked. Porter carried two across
and Morgan the other. Houston
kicked the extra point. The Army-
men were a heavy aggregation of
fighters, but they were no match
for a team that is long on disci-
pline and training. As one Army-
man expressed it, “The 23rd’s a
good Army team, but it ain’t got
no business gettin’ out of its
class.”

THE RED CROSS AND
POPULAR ATHLETICS
As this is the first week of the
annual Roll Call of the American
Red Cross, which will continue un-
til November 27, the excerpts fol-
lowing from the American Red
Cross’s recent circular “To Editors
of College Publications” will not
be out of place here:
“For years”, says the circular,
“the Red Cross has been welcomed
in universities and colleges with
its program of swimming instruc-
tion, life-saving and first aid. These
courses have been adopted as offi-
cial requirements in certain insti-
tutions where physical education is
stressed. In the U. S. Military
Academy at West Point, among
others, and most state colleges the
Red Cross certificate is the high-
est award for swimming and life-
saving. In technical institutions,
such as schools of mining and en-
gineering and in noi'mal schools
stressing physical education, the
first aid course is recognized for
its practical value after gradua-
tion.
“As one Red Cross instructor
put it, ‘the college man is suppos-
ed to have higher academic quali-
fications than one who is not col-
lege trained—why should he not be
better equipped for practical
sport? He very likely will be a
golf enthusiast, a tennis devotee,
and in summer at least, will spend
part of his time on the water. He
may be a good hand at the former j Horned Frogs in their own stad
The past week saw lots of action
and some surprises as well as sev-
eral prophecies fulfilled in two of
the conferences, but not much ac-
tion or excitement in the T.I.A.A.,
which scheduled only one game for
last week-end, holding the others
over for Armistice Day celebra-
tions Tuesday. The game sched-
uled at Kingsville last week be-
tween the Sam Houston Bearkats
and the C.A.I. Javelinas resulted
in a sort of slaughter for the Hogs,
the Bearkats taking them into
camp with no particular difficulty
by the score of 20-0 and incident-
ally maintaining their conference
standing at 1000, where it will
probably remain until the Bear-
kats encounter the Denton Eagles
later in the month, when the talent
here is prophesying that the Bear-
kats will assume the role of Hump-
ty Dumpty for at least one week if
not longer, depending on what
shape the Lumberjacks are in by
Turkey Day.
Three important T.I.A. clashes
will occur tomorrow, Armistice
Day (this is being put into type
Monday), when the Bobcats will
tie into the canary-hued Sul Ross
Lobos at Uvalde, the Denton
Eagles will probably overwhelm the
Commerce Lions at Commerce, and
the McMurry Indians will engage
the Daniel Baker Hillbillies on the
latter’s home range in Brownwood
in what promises to be the class-
iest and hardest fought of the Ar-
mistice Day struggles. While all
these contests will entail some
change of percentages in relative
standing, they will have little bear-
ing on the relative standing of the
conference leaders, unless, by some
trick of fate or lucky break, the
Commerce Lions should nose out
the Denton Eagles, which is very
improbable, but which, if it should
happen, would go a long ways to-
ward cinching the T.I.A. rag for
the Bearkats this year, and inci-
dentally strike some of our local
sport scribes and football fans with
incipiena heart failure or something
much like it. If such should hap-
pen, readers will find the news of
it in table of Armistice Day con-
test results, which it is hoped will
be appended to this column in the
last moments of the make-up of
this issue Wednesday afternoon.
In the struggle in the Texas
Conference last week the Howard
Payne Yellowjackets trounced the
Saint Edwards Saints 26-6, there-
by taking another long stride to-
ward their third successive title;
and the Southwestern Pirates nosed
out the Austin College Kangaroos
in an exciting night game at
Georgetown by a score of 13-12,
thus putting them in line as the
last barrier to the Yellowjackets
on their march toward a third title.
An important Armistice Day en
counter in the Texas Conference
will occur at Abilene Tuesday,
where the Simmons Cowboys take
on the Trinity Tigers in a home-
coming day tilt, which should prove
a spirited affair with but little
bearing on the Texas Conference
racer since both teams are now
tied for third place in that race.
In the Southwestern Conference
week-end contests Saturday the
victory of Texas U. over Baylor,
14-0, at Waco puts the Steers de-
cidedly in the running, at least un-
til this week-end when Texas jour-
neys to Fort Worth to tackle the

Academy Cubs
Down Lobos 13-0
It seemed that all Lobo teams
had a great propensity for getting
licked to the tune of 13-0 Tuesday
evening, when the S.W.T.T.C. High
School Lobos had their measure
taken for that score by the Aca-
demy Cubs, who outplayed and
outfought them completely on a
muddy field. The game was erra-
tic on account of the wet weather,
but in spite of the slick ball, one
of the Cubs’ scores came as the
result of a thirty-yard run over
the goal line. The Lobos made one
weak threat when Jameson covered
a fumbled punt, but it faded out
and came to nothing.
This game seems to leave a
three-way tie for the city cham-
pionship; and, since there are only
three teams in the contest, mutual
satisfaction should prevail. Nobody
loses. The High School Rattlers
beat Academy, the Lobos beat the
Rattlers, and now Academy has
beaten the Lobos.

qualifications as a swimmer.’
“The degree of interest in these
Red Cross college sports is indi-
cated by the fact that a consider-
able part of the instruction is by
qualified students who give volun-
teer service. This service has its
reward in a certificate from the
Red Cross in recognition of a cer-
tain number of hours of such ser-
vice, a higher award in a medal,
and of course, the distinctive em-
blem of the life-saver. Should the
graduate elect physical education
as his field, he has a valuable as-
set in this official recognition of his
effort.
“These facts are generally rec-
ognized among college leaders;
consequently each year sees a
closer degree of cooperation be-
tween the Red Cross and the coun-
try’s educational institutions. Edu-
cators are found among the impor-
tant groups of Red Cross leaders
in the country, while the contact
of students with the practical val-
ues of Red Cross service to them-
selves and to the communities over
the United States has drawn into
local leadership of Red Cross chap-
ters many younger men as they
have graduated and started their
much importance in that race, since
if Texas should win, which is de-
cidedly among the probabilities
provided the Steers display the
stuff they used against the Mus-
tangs November 1 and the Baylor
Bears Saturday, the Southwestern
Conference race will be possibly a
free for all affair indeed after next
week and until the results of the
Turkey Day classics are announced.

SAM TAYLOR
Re-reading Emerson.
James Truslow Adams, in his
article on “Emerson Re-read”, in
a recent Atlantic, gives an inter-
esting solution to the problem he
faced when, upon trying to read
some of Emerson’s Essays in a
much beloved volume dated 1896,
he discovered that the pages which
he, at the age of sixteen, read with
enthusiasm, left him cold today at
fifty. Mr. Adams recalled that Paul
More, in his Shelburne Essays,
states that “Emerson, judged by
an international or even by a true
national standard, is the outstand-
ing figure of American letters.”
Returning to the Emerson Essays,
Mr. Adams determined to test them
by Emerson’s own appraisal of
others, only to find that Emer-
son’s praise of Plato and Socrates
could be given as well by any in-
telligent undergraduate, and that
he was as unsatisfying on Shakes-
peare. Nor does he show more un-
derstanding of Napoleon and
Goethe. He considered Plato a
“gownsman” compared to the
Swedish mystic, Swedenborg, to
whom he would have Lycurgus and
Caesar pay tribute. Only conven-
tional praise was given the great
names of Europe, and therefore,
Mr. Adams confesses that Emer-
son was a real American. Since
Emerson was limited in art, giving
no consideration at all to music,
and seeing nothing in a great
painting worthy of a second study,
Mr. Adams finds another note-
worthy national limitation. As
Emerson would have all art ex-
tempore, so would he have all
thinking spontaneous, refusing to
criticize, analyze or meditate—an-
other chief characteristic of the
American people.
Mr. Adams admits there are two
things that must be reckoned with.
The one, wherein lies his greatness,
is Emerson’s doctrine of the ele-
vation of the common man, so im-
portant to one striving to rise
above the mediocre, and to the
youth struggling to attain a cour-
ageous and independent maturity.
The other is his insistence upon
the values in life, needed as much
in the America of today as in that
of Emerson’s time. But in this
very mysticism which led the es-
sayist to Swedenborg rather than
toward Plato, Mr. Adams attempts
to find the flaws which explain the
disappointment that came in re-
reading Emerson in the later years
of life. He admits that in the doc-
trine of self-reliance and individ-
ualism, “the sage of Concord was a
great teacher”, but that the doc-
trine itself contained two great
flaws as typically American as the
teacher himself. The first, a posi-
tive flaw, makes life too easy by
its insistence on intuition and spon-
taneity—fatal words for a civili-
zation whose existence depends up-
on the ability to “think through”.
The second flaw, a negative one,
is found in his refusal to face the
stern realities of life.
America has been able to main-
tain an unlimited optimism be-
cause of her vast uninhabited areas,
her material prosperity, her for-
tune in not experiencing anything
that compares to the Black Death
or the ravages of the Thirty Years
War. Mr. Adams would have ev-
ery youth read Emerson, but he
challenges America to produce
some one who will fuse hope and
illusion into some larger synthesis
which will offer counsel and hope
to the adult. “If Emerson is still
the outstanding figure in Ameri-
san letters,” says Mr. Adams, “is
that not the equivalent of saying
that America a century after the
essays appeared has not yet grown
to mental maturity, and that the
gospel it preaches is inspiring on-
ly for unformed adolescence—of
whatever age—without having ris-
en to a comprehension of the prob-
lems of maturity?” Here the re-
viewer is reminded of Joseph Col-
lins’ statement that “our chief de-
ficiency as a people, our most con-
spicuous national shortcoming is
a condition of mal-development,
known as Adult Infantilism, the
condition and conduct of an individ-
ual, who, having reached physical
maturity, remains infantile in his
responses to the demands and obli-
I gations of life”.
