, Austin, Texas, October 21.—W.
E- Metzenthin, chairman of the ath-
letic council of the University <
Texas, doesn’t believe that a football
team that winy all its games every
year is good for d school or its stu-
dents and wouldnt send his son to a1
college that boasted a winning com-'
bination each season.
Metzenthin, who was one of
first football coaches at the Univer-
sity of Texas and is professor of Ger-
manic languages, opined there was,
"something rotten in Denmark’’ when
a school placed a victorious football
team in the field each year. He also
was of the opinion that efforts to win
. football games detracted from other
objectives and threw school activities
out of balance. |
One of Metzcnthiu’s hopes is <to
see a $1 top price for football tick-
ets in the near future. He is plan-
ning on a $2 top price next year if
other conference teams will agree.
Metzenthin led in the fight last year
that resulted in reduction of the high-
est priced seats from $3 to $2.50.
“I would rather see 40,000 per-
sons in the stadium at $1 then 20,000
persons at $3”, Metzenthin said, add-
ing that top many free tickets were
issued to each game.
A movement has been started to re-
. turn to* the university the original
manuscript of ‘‘The Eyes of Texas”,
its nationally .known song. It was
written 30 years ago by John Lang
Sinclair and set to the tune of the
old plantation song, “I’ve Been
Working on the Railroad”:’—
Sinclair, the story goes, wrote the
verse as a lark and had no idea it
would be chosen as the official song
of the school. It developed that the
verse became not only the school
song but was adopted almost univer-
