COWBOYS BLAST AUSTIN 65-26; OPENER
pKQ)rt
The opening 'week of Texas con-
ference court neltvltlcs is ncarlng n
close and Judging by early show-
ings tho Cowhands still look more
llko champions than anything yet
turned up.
Teams that start off the season
with record equalling and break per-
formances (as is not tho caso in
football) usually wind-up tho year
.very near tho summit or thereabouts.
Back a couple of winters ago a
braco of Punchers wearing tho Pur-
ple and Gold then commonly known
as Bob McCollum and Johnny Gregg
runnlng-up records for the locals nnd
blasting all trace of hope from any-
thing and .everything the old Texas
conference had to offer.
Now it's littlo brother Gene who
has started setting off fireworks
and doing a good job of it too for
he has already bettered tho standard
set by Big Brother back in 1931.
Sherman was tho sccno for afore-
mentioned fireworks. Bob's old mark
was 27 tallies the individual record
that stood until that eventful eve
ning last Wednesday when Littlo
Gene got hot and lammed tho bucket
for an aggregate of 33 points a six
unit Improvement over the old mark
Sixty-fivo points is a lot of points
for a Cowhand outfit to punch-up in
one evening. Austin was tho week's
victim that fell by that count. Tho
Howard Payne fivo was the organ-
ization tho Ranchers set the mark
against back in 1928.
Just In what quarter to expect the
stiffest competition this cage scasM
is now yet to be easily seen. W
have not heard much of Southwest-
ern yet. Tho Hill Billies and ..the
Yellow Jackets aro not getting w-
derway until this week end. The
two local colleges boast fair clubs
but wo will not meet them in di-
rect competition. That leaves St.
Eds. to worry about Austin college
being already practically out of the
picture.
Howard Payne met 'the Kangaroos
in Brownwood last night the result
of such melee however is not yet
known. This P. M. tho Austin crew
takes on the Daniel Baker five. It
is certain that success for the Sher-
man team in cither ono or both of
tho engagements would be welcomed
from Cowhand quarters. However
wo fear such a happening or should
wo say accident would bo just too
good' to happen?
Simmons Five Win
Home Cage Opener
Over Sooner Club
Intramural Cage
Race Begins With
Three Games Tliur.
During the week cage races have
warmed-up to a surprising degree.
One of the most interesting and
closest scores was the S. M. U. Mus-
tangs 20 to 19 win over the T. C. U.
five.
Tho Big Baptist school Baylor
does not look so hot this year. The
Texas Longhorns just got through'
crushing Bear courtmen 48 to 20.
Either tho San Angclo Jr. college
quintet must bo awful good or the
Daniel Baker Hill Billies awfully
weak this season. The Angeloans
bettered their Brownwood rivals re-
cently 38 to 33.
Cowhands Nab 44-35 Victory
From Southwestern
Saturday
Simmons Ranching five's decisivo
44 to 35 cage victory over South-
western Oklahoma Teachers launch-
ed the 1933 home basketball season
laBt Saturday evening in tho Corral.
Starting with the opening whistle
the gamo move along at a swift al-
most "out of harness" paco with
Rcfcrco R. M. Medley calling fouls
at the rate of more than ono a
minute.
The final whistle found each tenm
charged with a total of 27 fouls nnd
seven players bnnished three from
tho Cowboy line-up and four from
that of tho visitors. Coach Rankin
Williams used every player in his
nine-man squad and it is probable
that had tho gamo lasted another
minute tho Wildcats would have
been playing minus a man.
The most deciding factor in tho
locals victory was their uncquolcd
proficiency in hitting tho bucket
from tho foul line. Tho Cowhands
dropped-in sixteen out of twenty-fivo
freo pitches while tho Sooner State
club was able to sink only eleven in
twenty-two tricks.
S. U. Pair Star
Jimmy Nccly Ranchers nll-confor-enco
center led tho field for tho
evening's individual scoring laurels
with a total of sixteen points. He
connected with tho bucket from
scrimmage for half of his total ag-
grcgato.and then accounted for eight
aefeu from tfca.feal Vmt. Geae Mc-
CeMwH all-ftpI wd
the ether Cewfcor whi second ttr
for the fftwe. 'He wm field teal
artltt far the areata rtagteg-up ten
aetata from varied soaKieM oa the
court and then tossing in a single
free pitch for a total of eleven. -
Kaiser star of tho invader's line-
up followed close on McCollum's
heels in tho scoring race. Four
times he hit tho oval from scrim
mage and then swelled his total to
ten with two successful shots from
the foul line. Young the Oklahomas'
crack forward with his sensational
dribbiling and passing gamo made
the evening birk lively and interest-
ing for the Cowhands until ho was
sent out on fouls in final frame.
The Bulldog organization jumped
tho locals at tho start to account a
slight lead but they lost it soon af-
terward when Ncely and Seed team-
ed up for a scoring spree that took
the. Cowhands ahead 11 to 3. How-
ever tho advantage was short lived
for the Sooner club's swift rally
with Ross Vickers and Kaiser at the
tabulating terminals soon knocked
down the Simmons lead 13 to 12.
At the intermission tho locals had
regained tho lead with tho score
standing 21 to IB in favor of tho
Cranfillmen. The final framo was
almost an all-Cowboy affair with tho
opposition seldom threatening to
overhaul the Ranchers or at any
time pull closer than three or fdUr
points.
Tho box score follows:
Begin New Plan of Having
Co-ed Sponsor For
Each Team.
Cowhand Cagers

From the stato press como tho in-
formation that "In a very imprcs-
slvo ceremony the Yellow Jackets
wore officially awarded the 1032
Texas conferenco football champion-
ship trophy Friday morning." On
ToniHnir further tho following was
noticed: "Dr. J. C. Godby of South-
western highly praised the Yellow
Jackets and their two coaches Joo
Bailey Cheaney and McAdoo Keaton
During tho five years that these two
coaches have been in chargo of foot-
ball at Howard Payne their teams
have won four undisputed champion-
ships and tied with Simmons for a
fifth title."
Daniel Baker Is planning their an-
nual cage tourney. Invitations have
already been sent out for the meet
scheduled January 20 and 21.
That fellow Tom Connely of Aus-
tin college did not do much against
the Cowhands Wednesday evening.
Last year he was tho leaguo'a sec-
ond high scorer and a member of
. the team that nosed out Simmons
42 to 40 at tho end of the season.

SING SING CHAPLAIN TELLS
WHY COLLEGE' MEN GO TO JAIL
14 10 21 44
Refcreo: R. M. Medley.
But the locals had already cinched
the crown.
Four points was the best Connol-
ly could do against the Ranchers
Wednesday evening. His total was
one field goal nnd two free pitches.
(Continued from Pago 2)
instability which leads to both diS'
slpatlon nnd crime. As regards col
leco men who are sentenced to pris
on I nm certain that drink nnd to
less extent sexual excesses (especial
ly when followed by diseaso) are
distinctly causes of crime. It is
rarely that a collego man comes here
without a history of alcoholism
which usually (though not invaria
bly) began during his undergraduate
days.
Not Murder
"College men aro seldom convicted
of offenses where either force or in-
timidation Is involved or even ex-
treme physical exertion. They aro not
likely to becomo human files 0r cat
burglars or safe-blowers or hold-up
men or racketeers or kidnapers or
mall-coach robbers. They are not ad-
dicted to the crime passionel. It is
very rarely that for any cause what-
ever thoy commit murder. Sinco I
camo to Sing Sing seventeen years
ago only one college atan kaa been
electrocuted.
"As compared with the preaeat is-'
mate of Stag Stat who have only
attended high school the. prkoaenH
who have attended college have in
proportion to thcir total number com-
mitted only one-eighth ns many rob-
beries (robbery being a crime that
involves personal violence or the
threat of violence) but they have
committed three times as many lar
cenies. The typical college man's
crime is taking money that does not
belong to him while the owner is not
watching and doing this in what
seems the easiest and safest way
"Of all crimes collego men seem
most addicted to forgery. In view of
the fact that this is ono of the easiest
crimes to detect and also one of the
easiest on which to obtain n convic-
tion their partiality to it would seem
to support tho contention of tho pris-
oner who doubts whether after nil
one gets an education in college.
"I cannot recnll that I ever talked
with a prisoner hero who had work-
ed his way through college.
Word For Parents
"I venture to suggest how you can
prepare your boy for college in such
a way that his experiences there will
not head him toward a State pnson.
First and foremost see to it that he
has a homo that always faces life
squarely nnd honestly without foolish
pietenses unconvincing evasions or
overemphasis on superficialities. A
home that is less than fully honest
in its attitude toward what may seem
very inconsequential matters makes
It easier for its children lutcr on in
life to bo dishonest In what tho law
considers very important matters. So
live within your income evsn if that
does entail some sacrifices. Do not
pretend to bo what you arc not or
to hnvo what you do not have.
"Very early in life begin to teach
your boy financial responsibility and
tho essential relation botween money
and work. Give him the largest al-
lowance that you can afford and that
it seems wise for him to have nnd
then mako him keep rigidly to it
but do not tempt him to lie by insist-
ing on his accounting for every last
cent of it. If ho really needs more
money than you can afford to give
him show him how ho can earn it
himself. If you want what is pret-
ty nearly a ono hundred percent in
surance against his ever going to
prison let him earn at least n part
of his college expenses.

McCollum Sets New High
Point Record With
Total of 33
Opening their 1933 Texas Confer-
ence championship drive with both
a record smashing nnd equalling per-
formance Simmons university's Cow-
boy bnskctccrs overwhelmed the Aus-
tin Kangaroo five G5 to 20 Wednes-
day evening In Sherman.
Tho Cowboys high score mnrk for
tho evening camo up to tho previous-
ly leading uggrcgatc established by
an earlier Ranching quintet in 1928
ngninst Howard Payne. Tho new
record was of tho individual scoring
vnrlety Gene McCollum ringlng-up
a totnl of 33 points during the eve-
ning for the new high. Tho old
standard for one night's individual
achievement 27 points wns set by
tho elder Bob McCollum In n game
with Howard Payne in 1931.
Tho opening frame of the game wns
waged on near even terms with first
ono team gnining tho advantage of a
slight lead and then the other. But
tho sccod half was nn nil-Cowboy
nffnir. With the addition of Jim
Ncely all-conference high scorer of
1932 to the line-up the Cowmen im-
mediately went on a rampage that
lasted until the closing whistle.
From scrimmngo McCollum bom-
bnrded the bucket successfully for

rival. He further sewed up his
