Frfday night will witness the open-
ing of the nineteen twenty-seven drb-
. kotbnll season. When the Wildcats
go into tho battle against tho Cor-
dell team coached by CJillt Adams
'former Wildcat star a battle botween
master and pupil will bo staged; for
Chill' was second all T. I. A. A. guard
on Coach Morris' quintet lasi year.
Tho Mprrlsmon havo been going
through strenuous daily workouts
since tho first of January and aro
fast approaching a flashy playing
form. Daily Bcrlmm&go -with tho Abi-
leho High team has polished up tho
ragged edges of tho Wildcat mochino
and with tho sound of tho gun Friday
night Morris will send a fast working
squad into action against tho Cordell
Christians
. IIUl and .Powell will again form tho
same dangerous scoring combination
that has graced Wildcat teams for
.the past- two years while "eight
point " Coons will also bo a likely
starter for tho forward position with
Powell. In Thrush and Owens two
fellows from tho sooner state Coach
Morris will have a dependable pair
of guards. Although this is their
first year at those positions both men
have had 'considerable experience
working at center and forward on
their high-school teams. Owens is
. of the rangy type and is mak-
ing a guard hard to get by while
Thrush is moro of tho flashy kind
Of player covering a good deal of ter-
ritory and shooting a good many field
goals.
The team as a wholo should develop
into a much faster combination than
has beretoforo graced tho Wildcat
gym. Although tho loss of George
Brown and Chill Adams both fellows
of moro than average ability will bo
sorely felt tho team-work should bd
much snappier than It was last year.
Coach Morris it scorns is working
on tho -principle that a good offease
is a consistent defense.
The strength of th. CemfeU tua
is unknown. However rt 1 " ksewii
that Chill Adams has three ten sec-
ond men on his squad one of whom
"Is probably tho fastest man in Okla-.
homa. It is also a settled fact thai
Adams is a crafty coach. Coach Mor-
ris then can expect a well rounded
and fighting team.
Although the power of the two
teams that will battle each other Fri
day and Saturday nights has not been
tested previous to this time other
than a few easy practice games it
can be safely said that thero will be
plenty of action in the games. Chili
A'Skms will have h!a team in there
trying to stop that Hill and Powell
scoring whirlwind and nothing could
give him more satisfation than ad-
ministering a defeat to tho fellows
dope tho fans will be given a pretty
sweet dish of basketball playing Fri-
day and Saturday The two teams
ho played with last year.
Judging from tho abovo pro-battlo
composed of fast men should put up
a speedy fight and that is what makes
ihe game.
PASSING OF NORDIC
FEATURES FORECAST:
BY LEADING SEER
By Israel Klein
Charlottesville Vn- Jan. 12
Blonds will bo passe blu6-eyed babies
will bo tho exception Nordics Will be
alions when tho true American as-
serts himself.
Tho truo;Amcrican will bo a brunot
not blorid. He'll havo light brown
eyes and his only concession to the
Nordics of Europe will bo his tall
stature.'
This picture of the omorging
American is offered by Dr. R. Bennett
Benn professor of anatomy at the
University of Virginia and one' of
America's leading anthropologists. Dr.
Benn has mado tho study of human
.types his hpbby.
"Of course" says Dr. Bean "tho
trend toward the standard American
type is very gradual. But wo may ex-
pect .this type to emerge in a thousand
years' or so."
Singularly Dr. Bean himself is a
fair representative of tho Nordic typo
which his forecast says will disappear.
It was immigration of tho tall
ruddy-faced; blond and bluo-oyed pop-
ulation of northern Europo that in
troduced tho Nordic typo into Ameri
ca up to about 1884. Then immigra
tion qf brunot southern Europeans set
in. Their hereditary Influence ac-
cording to Dr. Bean was enhanced by
tho climate they found hero.
"Tho tendency to darken hair and
eyes and eyen a tanning of tho skin"
he explains "already is noticeablo in
many of our natives. This is duo to
our intense summers and tho bril-
liancy of the sun which produce a
ptgmontation of tho skin and causes
the hair and eyes .to becpe: darker i
"There Is or excoptioa In the;ortiii
era regions where the factors of cold
Moletaiid drndseembfae agateat tM-
darkening pendency."
Points to the Indian
For proof of his prediction asjto
what tho 'American will be Dr.Bean
points to the American Indian with
his dark coarse hair his dark eyes
ad tanned skin.
Measurements of college boys and
co-eds show a tendency to taller sta
ture some rising from two to three
inches abovo the modern American
types. As a result Dr. Bean figures'
tho future American malo will aver-
age about five feet ten inches in
height three or four inches taller
than tho average European.
"Woman will follow along the same
lines although she won't grow as fast
in height as man.'' Dr. Bean com-
ments. "Both will be athletic in struc
ture with well! Hied muscular bodies
squarer but slightly droping should
ers and well developed limbs.
"Wo see that tall athletic typo al-
ready in California. Thero is some-
thing on tho west coast that seems to
bring out these traits sooner than in
the rest of tho country. Perhaps the

ok tuesday might
The Christian College band wt
into action again Tuesday lgk
when tho Abilene Chamber of Com-
merce staged a huge lwteteoH. Th
.bands from the threa eoNege wew '
Used (n the big meeting.
' Gibson's players formed a block or .
two from town and marched through
the business section of the city. Net
to bo outdono by tho purple and white". A
and McMurry Indians were also on the
scene of battle.
After several minutes had been '
taken up by tha three bands in. self-
advertisement they were united ito
a massed band in front of the ..new '
city hall. Under the direction of tho '
Simmons leader three or iour num-
bero were rendered by tho group of'
some hundred or so musicians tho ;
amount of nolso coming from the com-
bined bands issuing forth with much
more alarm than has ever been heard
in Abilene before.
An aftermath pf tho massed band
concert was tho luncheon prepared
by tho C. of C Tho thrco bands and
otlfcf college representatives wore
ushered into tho spacious city hall
(some probably for the first time)
and given a feed which was remem-
bered far into the night by many of
tho prnticipants.
inhabitants are thriving from the ultra-violet-
rays in the sunlight' they
are getting there.
"The American" typo will tend to-
ward ranginess but not lankincss.
Hell have long arms and legs but
his wholo body will bo well propor-
tioned. His hands and feet will bo big
too.
"Thcso tendencies I take from the
fact that our farming population is
generally of that rangy typo with
long arms and legs and big hands."
An End of Obealty
Tho head of tho truo American
will bo a virile well-proportioned
typo. But there will bo a gradual
change Dr. Bean asserts from a
.strong prominent chin to one receding
more'and mere to conform with small
er teeth aad Jawbones.

longer cars- and a full mouttu The
neck will bo slightly longer and thick-
er tiie" chest will fie full and muscu-
lar and tho abdomen will show no
tendency toward obesity.
"Of course ail this depends on cir-
cumstances in the fturo" Dr. Bean
qualifies. "But tho trends of tho timo
and of years past show this tendency
toward ff tall tan-skinried dark-haired
and brown-eyed American as typical
of tho country's future homo-grown
population." .' '

.. In a quarter-century the General Electric
v Company has produced electric motors having
a total' of more than 350000000 man-power.
Electric light heat and transportation have also
contributed their part.to the freeing of men. These
are America's slaves. Through . their service
American workers do more earn more and
produce quality goods at lower cost than any-
where else in the world.
The college-trained man is the first: to grasp
these facts which raise man from a mere source;
of physical power to be a director of power
thus realizing the true economic value of the
human mind.
