Conference rules permitting fresh-

lason but experience indicates that

iholastlc to collegiate football and

Favorite to annex the conference

the proteges of Coaches McAdoo Kea-
ton and "Nig" McCarver was to the
strong Hardin-Slmmons Cowboys a
team that is no longer In the confer-
ence. None of the other conference
elevens was strong enough to win
from the Jackets even in their crip-
pled condition although Trinity Aus-
tin College and St. Edward's tied the
Brown wood aggregation.
Such stars as Archer O'Brien Bar-
ham West St. Clair Roberts Miller
Vlckers Fletcher Harlow Lusk We-
deman Dyer Whitehead Marshall
Nunnally Sunderman Rogers Gallo-
way and others made the Jackets
feared by all opponents last year and
as most of these men will be back
this season the Howard Pa.yne Yellow
Jackets have a light to view the com-
ing season with optimism.
Although the Jackets' starting line-
up will consist almost' entirely of vet-
erans Howard Payne has a large list
of outstanding new men who will be
available for duty. The Jackets are
10 piay me Texas Christian Univer-
sity Horned Froirs in Brownwood to-
morrow night and Coaches Keaton
and McCarver are not planning to be
swampca oecause tney lack the neces-
sary reserve sttength.
In the past Howard Payne has
made excellent' showings against the
Southwest Conference teams as fol-
lowers of Southern Methnrilst. and
Texas A. & M. will testify and the
Jackets are still smarting under the
42-to-0 score that the Frogs ran up
on them in Fort Worth last' Fall. They
will be out for revenge on Sept. 18
and the Toads may find a surprise
awaiting them
The Jackets will play every mem-
ber of the Texas Conference except
their neighbors the Daniel Baker
Hillbillies. Non-conferenrp nnnnnpnts

Harctin-simmons
Indians Strong Too.
The McMurry College Indians al-
ways a tough outfit to defeat will be
just as strong this season as in years
past. The Indians should know by
Oct. 23 just about how they will fin-
ish the conference race for they are
to meet their three strongest oppo-
nents by that date. The remainder
of the season will see the Methodists
facing weaker opposition.
Coach R. M. Medley of McMurry
will have awcalth of veteral back-field
material reporting to him and with
brilliant performers as Pool second
only to Sammy Baugh as a passer;
Bobby Anthony 190-pound halfback
who won all-conference honors dur-
ing his sophomore year; E. E. Carter
a dash man who is too swift for most'
opposing teams; Lowell Echard
Johnny Brookshire Blackburn Chris-
tian and Books he should have a high
scoring machine.
The Indian line probably will not be
as outstanding as the back field al-
though it will be far from weak with
such men as Davis and Stockton
powerful tackles; Dunlap all-conference
end; and Cure an aggtessive
guard. Less experienced men will be
found at the other three line positions
but' Coach Medley has no dearth of
capable applicants for the jobs
Austin College at Sherman which
crashed through to the conference ti-
tle last year without the loss of a
game will have a veteran team this
season but they will miss Coach Bill
Pioice the man who led them to the
championship. Coaching the Kanga-
roos will be the popular E Y. (Pop)
lone 14 Brownwood Texas
Freland formerly of S. M. U. Van
derbllt Texas Tech and elsewhere.
From Austin's championship crew
win De missing only three or four of
the veterans but Freeland will have
a difficult time getting his men to
repeat this season for every team in
the conference will be pointing for a
victory over the tltleholders. The Kan-
garoos also face the handicap of play-
ing two of their strongest opponents
Trinity and McMurrv awav from
Sherman.
Coach Wllklns of Trinity who has
done remarkably well with the avail-
able material for the last four years
will have a veteran team this season
and If he can get reinforcements at
one or two key positions the Tigers
will be In the championship running
from the first. He needs a rugged
center a big full-back a good pun-
ter and a few reserve linemen.
Outstanding Tiger Vets
Outstanding Tiger veterans will be
Cole and Chapman tackles; Howorth
end; Burke and Evet heart guards;
Thompson McCall Champion Me-
harg Pruett Jarrell and others in the
backfleld.
Trinity will miss the services of
Hunky Boggs line coach for the last
four years who is now head coach at
Waxahachie High but in Dock Aut-
rev another former Trinity gridiron
Immortal they have a capable suc-
cessor. Given little chance of finishing
higher than fourth place in the con
ference St. Edward's University the
Southwestern Abilene Christian Col-
lege and Daniel Baker College may
surprise the critics and send some of
the favorites down Into the second
flight.
St. Edward's will have a rugged
crew ready to greet Coach Pierce
who has shifted his affections from
Austin College to his first love St.
Edward's. Last season the Tigers
boasted a strong offensive eleven
but they were weak on defense.
Coach C. M. Edens at Southwestern
will benefit more than any other
coach by the change in the fieshman
rule. Already he has lined up a
large number of 200-pound linemen
and 190-pound backs. They probably
lack the experience to make the Pir-
ates championship contenders this
season but In 1937 the Corsairs will
be dangerous.
Abilene Christian and Daniel Ba-
ker are both reported to be stiongcr
and eager to leave the second divis-
ion where they finished last season.

Aurjvor! (Spanish for "greetings")
Let me be the first to welcome you to
Hard Pain. Of course I'm u little
late but I just got back from a trip
to Jockburgb Kentucky. Now you all
will say this is old stuff and I'm copy-
ing from Bob Burns but I can prove
by my two friends that I never copied
anything in my life except' school
work To tell the truth when I got
to Jookburgh and met some of my
kin folks I decided my family was
just as interesting as Bob Burns.
It seems I was born (my mama
told me and she ought to know) in
this little Kentucky city just off Main
Street and Peanut Ave. It was not
only the main street it was the only
str cet. I soon found that I have more
kin folk3 than Carter had garters
or something. Anyway my Cousin
Stuff refuses to be rushed about any-
thing. I was watching him one day
when a man carrying a shotgun walk-
ed up and started the following con-
versation; Did you sec a rabbit run past here ?
What do you mean a little grayish
thing?
it have long ears?
stomach?
it long legs?
Yes!
Was it running as fast as it could?
Yes it was.
(After pause) No I haven't seen
It.
Before we leave the subject the
following item was noticed in the lo-
cal paper:
NOTUSE
Los'em self one calf; Red all over
one foot white other three same
like. Bin loss 3 daze Yestidy to-day
tomorry. Any one finder give evry-
body five bucks. Mike Varga.
However everybody up there isn't
that dumb. It was my Uncle Dudley
Potts who told me that a dog per-
spires through his pants.

ing and a sight the next morning.
Reader's Digest.
These popular songs they come
and In a few weeks pass right on out.
Guess we'd pass out too if we were
worked like they are. This one call-
ed "Sing Sing Sing " sounds like
some prison's Alma Mater. Which
reminds me our hen's theme song
"I'm laying all my eggs In one bas-
ket" is just about played out.
Found the following in an old book
at home and since I liked it and there

$3557891 is for the icgular ptogram

the regular piogiam of college and

and graduate aid totaling $1118194.
The allotments for project employ-
ment aggregate $9872752 with spe-
cial allotments for the drought states
yet to be made
State youth directors have been in
formed by Mr. Brown that it will be
peimlssible .should conditions war-
rant to shift emergency funds from
the school aid to the college and
graduate aid programs and vice ver-
sa. Thus states which find that they
have heavier demands for one type of
nid then another may so adjust their
allotments as to meet existing condi-
tions. High schools in some sections of the
country have already opened and ad-
vance allotments (included In the to-
tals above) were made to them in
August. Elsewhere the next two
weeks will witness the opening of the
great majority of colleges and secon-
dary schools thioughout the Nation
and a corresponding influx of appli-
cations for student aid is expected.
The program this year will laigely
duplicate that of foimer yeais with
school and college officials exercising
complete control over the selection of
applicants and the devising and su-
pervising of the work they perform.
Monthly earnings are also unchang-
ed with a $6 maximum set for high
school students and averages of $15
for college undeigtaduatcs and $25
for graduates. Young people dcsiiing
student aid assistance make applica-
tion direct to the officials of the
schools they wish to attend.
