GEORGE DAY
George Day husky well-built
center for Daniel Baker wears
number 81. Tipping the scales at
182. George received most of his
experience playing football with
. . .
the Brownwood High Lions.
from Brownwood High school in
George is nineteen and graduated
1040. While in high school he let-
tered in football during the seasons
of 1045 and 1040. In track he ran
the mile lettering two years. He
lettered in basketball in 1040 play-
ing the forward position. This
basketball season is particularly
memorable to George because the
Brownwood High Lions won the
district championship.
Many of us became well ac-
quainted with George last spring
when he played Softball for Dan-
iel Baker. He was indeed a valu-
able player and was responsible for
a great deal of excellent playing.
When aBkcd which game meant
most to him George grinned and
said "The 1040 game between
Brownwood High Lions and Miner-
al Wells in which the Lions won
18 0. I intercepted u pass and
ran twenty-five yards for a touch-
down." Walker Beats Layne
In SMU-Texas Tilt
The spotlight in the Southwest
Conference switched from the
Longhorns of Texas University to
the Mustangs of Southern Meth-
odist last Saturday nfter the Long-
horns dropped n close decision to
their Dallas rivals 11 to IS.
The clash between the Long-
horns and Methodist was the lead-
ing game of the week in the South-
west and one of the most impor-
tant games of the day throughout
the nation featuring two unde-
feated teams and a player rivalry
that will not be equaled again this
year in the Southwest.
45000 funs jammed tho Cotton
Bowl to witness the duel between
the two former high school team
mates Doak Walker of Southern
Methodist and Bobby Layne of
Texas. Friends off the playing
field but bitter opponents in last
Saturdays game Wulkcr one of the
greatest running backs in the na-
tion this year outplayed the blonde
Layne who in considered the great-
est passing back in college foot-
ball. The decision over Texas Saturday
gave the Mustangs top place in
the conference standings with
Texas dropping into second and
TCU holding third. Incidentally
the highest score SMU ever at
tained in a game was the 70 to 0
beating the Mustangs handed to
Dainel Baker in 1020. But the

Roaring to victory in a game
that was high-lighted by u 00

the McMurry College Indians won
an easy 21 to 0 Texas Conference
tilt from cellar-dwelling Austin
College Saturday night.
The Indians scored their first
touchdown on a passing-and-runn-ing
attack with Townsend finally
going over for the score. Barry
scored a touchdown for tho Indians
in thein the final period but it was
the third-quarter dash for 00 yards
by Rowland that added tho extra
thrill to the game. Royce Smith

laujkaBiM m nmiinrr
Bill was born in Brownwood
twenty one years ago and attended
Bwnwood H " School Bdu'
ting in 1015. While in high school
he made quit. v.rx outstanding re-
cord playing end for the Brown-
wood High Lions. Bill Was

minute and said "Tho game be-
tween Brownwoood High Lions nnd
Breckenridge High in 1044."
CORKY WATKINS
When Daniel Baker Hill Billies
go on the field Friday night against
the McMurry Indians Rex "Corky"
Watkins will be among those on the
missing list. Watkins withdrew
from classes Tuesday us the result
of scholastic difficulties and will
not see action again this season
with tho Hill Billies. His absence
will bo deeply felt und his position
will not bo un easy one to fill.
M nny fallH wU1 loB remember the
. T
brilliant game Watkins played in
the Dunicl Baker-University of
Houston tilt he being responsible
for six of the twelve points made
in thut game. Very likely Ray
Todd freshman half-back from
Albany will replace Watkins in tho
right half-back position Friday
night.
The master secret in fighting
is to strike once but in tho right
place. John Smith.

she entered Italy and toured Milan

Naples Capri and then back along
the coast through Pisa Genoa and
to the French Kivcria. As for
some of her impressions of Italy
she thought Venice had u terrible
ordor that some of the mo3t beauti
ful cathedrals were in Bologna
and was impressed by tho fertility

maintaincd roads through out the
country. While in Florence cul-

undamaged by the retreating Ger
mans. Here on the bridge still
catering to the public are tiic
same jewelry shops that served
the royal families during the 12th
century.
From Florence she went to the
eternal city Rome capital nnd key
city of Italy. Here she visited the
Colosseum the monument of Vic-
tor Emmanuel II the Catacombs
and the Vatican City. In Nuplcs
she took an unforgctablc bus ride
to sec the ruins of Pompeii und

troyed the city and many of Its in-
habitants. Mrs. Trapp took unother route
for the return trip to England und
then completed the homewurd jour

something like this: dinner in Lon
don supper in Shannon Ireland
brcukfust in New York City.
When asked about her impres-
sions she suid that her first im-
pression was the happiness throug-
out Europe people singing nnd
without fear. The trains and buses
were crowded und the people seem-
ed to pluy night and day.
She reports the English people
dreadimr the coming winter und

ing wnicn is more sirici now inun
during the war. In Paris thcro is
a scarcity of bread und the city is
without regular electric current.
Although Mrs. Trapp looked in
vain for sturving people the hun-
griest seemed to be in southern
Italy uround Nuplcs. However
food seemed ubundnnt in the north-
ern section throughout the great
Po Vulley. Tho best-fed people
with tho heuitiest appitltcs were-
found in Belgium. "There is no
food shortugo in Belgium".
"What Europe needs Mrs. Trapp
suid is a United States of Europe.

through customs inspections and
no ono country will trust tho other

toms officials huve decided to

When our Regent addressed the

soil to visit the historic pluces and

fans! Tho master of the wax works
has a delayed action coming out
with the release of "The Prom
Date" album. The album was wax-
ed some time ago but had not
been on sale on n big scale until
now. Favorite college songs have
an ageless appeal bul arc particul-
uily appropriate in tho fall when
gridiron ytlls puncuate the tangy
Autumn air. The pungent time-
liness of these collegiate ditties
lend an effective musical back-
ing Saturday's final kick-off. Made
To-Order for tho atmosphere of
infectious gayety is Tex Bcnekc's
RCA Victor album which hus plen-
ty of campus nostalgia packed into
its four platters. This rousing
selection of college themes waxed
by Tex Bcncckc and the Miller Or-
chestra include the "Washington
and Leo Swing" "Alma Muter-
Cornell" "On Wisconsin" "The
Victory March of Notre Dame"
1 "Anchors A weigh" and many oth-
crs played nnd sung tne campus
over.
Tho Bencko Band has had an
exciting history which makes
them a singularly appropriate me-
dium for theso stirring college
songs. Perpetuating the legend
of the late Glenn Miller many of
tho personnel arc former members
of the Miller Bund. Tho orches-
tra hns much of the same famous
stylo demonstrated by Miller who
was listed us missing in action
following u mission in the ETO.
Following his own dischurge from
tho Navy former Ride man Tex
even that could in no way equal
the pleasure sho felt to bo back
homo at Daniel Baker College
among her many friends andi loved
ones.

Conference Notes
All quiet on Austin front; the
mighty Longhorns lost to Southern
Methodist University by a narrow
margin of ono point. (14 to 13).
This drops Texas Into a two-way
tie with T.C.U. for second place.
While S.M.U. was beating their
rival T.C.U. was ruining Baylor's
homecoming by a 14 to 7 scoro to
keep their second place in tho con
ference leaving Baylor in fourth
place.
Meanwhile Texas A&M and Ark
ansas were battling to a 21 to 21
tie to stay in third place and drop-
ping Arkansas to fifth place.
Klce had a scare Saturday when
at the end of the first quarter
Texas Tech was loading by a 0 to 0
but tho Owls finally got their of-
fenso to clicking and wound up
with a 40 to 0 victory.
