Well folks it won't be long
now till wo meet those Stephen-
villc l'lowboys nnd they arc go-
ing to be plenty tough. 'Ihe Wild-
cats defeated John farlcton Inst
year 19-0 but all the counters re-
sulted from intercepted passes.
We may not be so fortunate this
j car.
It is rumored that A. C. C. will
have the strongest team in its his
tory this season. The first game!
will be a fair test for such an
eleven. Junior College competi-
tion has been taken too lightly
and for this reason the ole "Dope
Bucket" has been terribly upset
on numerous occasions.

Cats Invade Home
Of Plowboys First
Game of the Year
Students why not give the boys
a rousing send-off tomorrow
morning before they embark for
Plowtown. They need the inspi-
ration and support that you can
give. Football players fight hard
for true followers.
With an untiring coach "Bugs"
Morris and eleven returning let-
termen the above-mentioned ru-
mor may become a reality. Var-
sity lcttcrmcn who arc back are:
Holmes Hardigrce and Carter
ends; Campbell and II. Pycatt
tuckles; Nelson and Moser
guards; Ezzell center; Baldwin
Kecs E. Atulerson and Council
backs.
Lcttcrmcn do not always start
the game especially in the pres-
ence of men like Carruthers Par-
ker Stone Baukh ocotl I). Py-
cat L. Anderson and others work-
ing for a position on that starting
line-up.
Our hocs are somewhat dark-
ened because of injuries. The end
positions arc hurt with Stone
Carter and Baulch suffering in-
juries. Carter will be unable to
play tomorrow. Elbert Anderson
will likely be unable to play due
to a knee injury. Others have re-
ceded slight injuries.
Paramount Screen

10
Show Mae West
Beginning the season tomorrow
on the John Tarlcton gridiron at
Stcphcnvillc the Wildcats arc ex-
pected to display real opening
competition despite injuries that
have entered the Lair quarters.
Coach "Bug" Morris is polishing
up new recruits to down the Plow-
boys. In 1932 the teams battled to a
scoreless tie last year A. C. C.
took the heavy end of 19-0 score
after Hardigrce had intercepted
two passes and Connell one for
touchdowns.
Two lcttcrmen Elbert Ander-
son and Jack Carter will be out
of the game due to practice in-
juries. A probable starting line-up fol-
lows: Holmes and Hardigrce ends;
Campbell and II. Pycatt tackles;
Moser and Nelson guards; Car-
ruthers center; Connell Kcyes
Baldwin and Parker backs.
Strong reserve material will
supply recruits in every position.
Tennis Tournament
Slated This Fall
Mac West in her latest picture
"Belle of the Nineties" is the at-
traction extraordinary which the
Paramount Theatre has booked
for an extended run next week
The engagement will begin with a
special "after the circus" midnite
preview at 11:15 P. M. on Satur-
day night of this week in order
to afford hundreds of out of town
circus visitors an opportunity to
sec the gay Mae in muchly dis-
cussed screen effort.
As in the case of her previous
pictures the story is made to or-
der for the talented La West and
she portrays the role of a famous
stage star of the gay nineties.
Others in cast are John Mack
Brown and Arthur Pryor who are
Mac's "two new tall dark and
handsomes" Katherine Dc Mille
and John Miljan. Duke Elling-
ton and his famous band furnish
the music for the five song hits
which are "My Old Flame" Trou
bled Waters Memphis Blues
"My American Beauty" and
"When a St. Louis Woman Goes
Down to New Orleans."
The usual well chosen selection
of short subjects will complete
the program. The atraction for
the last half of the week will be
announced later and is dependent
on the run of "Belle of the Nineties."
With the initial workouts on
the tennis courts Coach J. W.
Treat's hopes were brightened al-
though only two lettermen return.
Harold Showaltcr and Elbert An-
derson arc back as lettermen but
the absence of Andy Moore and
Leo Healer will be felt.. They
were two of the top-ranking play-
ers in the Texas conference last
year.
Arden Lawrence Kelly Npw-
man Morris Howard Robbie Joe
Smith and Edgar Lee arc pros-
pective and should prove valua-
ble to this year's squad.
The team will also be streng-
thened by the transfer of Batscll
Barret Baxter from David Lips-
comb College and Charles Meek-
er from Temple Junior College.
Meeker is experienced in strong
competition and Baxter holds the
junior championship of Nashville
1 enncssee.
Joe Davis of Big Spring and
Jack Montgomery diminutive star
from Rising Star arc freshman
prospects that look favorable in
the opening workouts.
Plans arc almost complete for
an annual fall tournament with-
in the next two weeks. It should
reveal the type of competition to
be expected in coming conference
race. s

Keagy And Rose Lead
Cross Country Team
With but two experienced var-
fily runners .back the Wildcat
cross country team will have an
uphill climb to uphold the record
of the past two years in which
only one number one team run-
ner has failed to hit the tape first.
Chester Kcagy two year letter-
man will lead the Wildcat har-
riers this year as captain of the
track team. David Rose the
other varsity member to return
also is expected to -show his col-
ors in coming competition.
From the freshman squad of
last year is: Mason Whittcnburg
Melton and Chrisman. Lc Moine
Lewis will also add strength to
the club.
No meets are scheduled as yet
but Coach Wcems is planning
three or four encounters for this
season. This is the sixth year
for A. C. C. in cross country com
petition and prospects arc excel-
cntfor an unprecedented record.
Ringling Brothers
Bamum and Bailey
Are Here Saturday
For the first time in the history
of Abilene Ringling Bros and
Bamum & Bailey Circus will be
in town. For those of us that hail
from the "wide open spaces" this
will be quite a treat. Incidentally
for those of us who hail from "the
filled up places" this will also be
quite a treat for it is seldom that
we arc allowed to witness such a
spectacle as a nationally known
seven ring circus. There will be
clowns and monkeys bears and
elephant . trick riders and tum-
blers'. Who knows we may even
be able to see one of our beloved
Wildcats as- they really arc.
The tickets arc on sale at Jack
Linton's Drug and the price is re-
ported to be only seventy-five
cents plus the regular tax for such
attractions. So the cry of A. C.
C. this week should be "Let's go
to the circus."
A. C. Ettcr '32 is an employe
of the Borden Co. in San An-
tonio. Rayc Sparks also '32 is
teaching in the San Antonio
schools this )ear. It is rumored
that wedding bells will soon be
tinkling in the Alamo city.
Ankle Sprain Handicaps
Howard Green in Hawaii'
On Board S. S. Taiyo Maru
August 31 1931
DEAR FELLOW STUDENTS:
Since my last letter I have visited Honolulu Hawaii. The Amer-
ican truck team was the guest of the Hawaiian A. A. Federation.
They took us all over the island honored us with a luncheon intro-
duced us personally to Governor Poindcxter at the capitol building
and then escorted us back to the boat.
Nothing in particular happened on the ship. A week and a day
ago however I turned .mi ankle on the deck while training and
coach su)s I muy be uuuole to participate in the firit two meets.
The ankle is still swollen but is not sore yet it is still a little weak.
I am afraid it will prove a handicap to me throughout the remainder
of the season. I I ! WW
I hope there are all the students from last year back and many
new ones.
Your fellow student
HOWARD GREEN.
