Strnying from "Campus U. S.
A'." for a short jaunt college cus-
toms of Barcelona Spain come

Shelfon's Dream Caused
By Aunt Agatha's Food
v
As the thoughts of most athlc
tics enthusiasts turn to the Cotton
Bowl or the Rose Bowl the stu-
dents of Texas Technological Col-
lege In Lubbock look forward
with breathless anticipation to the
"Washbowl Classic" according to
The Toreador.
Female football is the feature
attraction of this event. The op-
posing teams the Drane Stoppers
(freshmen girls) and the Sophisti-
cated Plungers (uppcrclassmcn)
battlo it out for ultimate victory.
Half-time feature will be the
presentation of the Football
Sweetheart who will reign as
king of pie extravaganza.
As( Confucius didn't say "Foot-
ball is getting better than evcrl"
(Continued from Pago 2)
"Ho Hoi I outsmarted you that
time."
But woo that I must rolaJo

footing on the narrow ledge
and tumbled throe stories to
the ground landing directly
on .his unprotected head a
fact which undoubtedly saved
his life slnco I am sure that
had ho lit In any other posi-
tion ho would have broken
many bones.
Find himself suddenly in the
confident although highly vul
nerable position of an ostrich with
its head stuck in the sand (it was
the dry season) he pulled him-
self loose with great effort and
raced across the campus with the
dog in hot pursuit. Since he saw
no other shelter he ran to a tall
prickly pear and hurriedly shlni
nied up it. Although the position
was uncomfortable from the top
he could easily watch ihe rout of
the other Teachers and call en
couragement like a football fan
with laryngitus.
And Indeed It was a sack
sad sight to see. Teachers
were climbing pecan troes
with arlhltlc abandon much
to the detriment of already
snagged nylons last years suit
and the new stretchy socks
(two for 29 cents).
Mr. Rptenbcrry lost his twelve-
dollar hombcrg In the fray and
upon running to retrieve his trea-
sure found Miss Ellis cowering
beneath it in paroxysms of fear.
Seeing this the good professor's
chivalry came to the fore and he

helped the dear lady up but just
at that moment the dog rushed up
snarling and dripping blood and
he immediately dropped Miss Ellis
in the nearest mud puddle and ran
for a tree screaming "A norther
is coming" in his confusion.
But tho most exciting part
was yot to come for lhoro
was ono bravo soul amid the
crow. Courageous to tho end.
Miss Williams emorged from
the Ad Building carrying a.
nasty-looking .44 (.44's aro al-
ways nasty-looking In fic-
tion) and headod straight for
the snarling monster.
(Do not confuse this last with
Miss Ellis who is still in the mud
puddle and who is also snarling.)
Miss Williams advanced with a
military stride reminiscent of her
years spent in the glorious service
of her countiy. Her jaw was Set
in a firm line and her hand did
not tremble. Just then thu dog
spying her lunged and I'm
sorry to say I woke up soaked
with perspiration and clutching
my pillow with a strangle hold. I
was so glad that it was only a
dream and yet
"Was it a vision or a waking

Fled is the music: Do I wake
or sleep?"
