Two years ago S. M U. defeated
Missouri. champions of the Missouri
Valley. Last fall they ran q good
Army team at its best all over the
Plains on the Hudson and with the
score IA to Is against them, were
down on the goal line knocking
again just as the final whistle blew.
S. M. U. was beaten once and tied
several times in Texas last fall after
the Army game.
Should S. M. j. succeed in de-
feating Nebraska next fall the other
parts of the country will have to
concede that Texas football is on
the par with the best.

ent of the Districts penal iDstitu.

When Sinclair lost his fight before

avoid going to jail for 80 days for

pected that ne would serve the term

Just q Clearing House.
The District Jail, Captain Barnard
pointed out. has been used in recent
years as a clearinghouse for pris-
oners bound for Occoquan or Federal
prisons. 1t has not been the custom
for prisoners to serve sentences of
more than 10 days at the Jail.

Four Ways Out
There are four pursuits open to
prisoners at Occouuan. They can
work in the brick factory. manufac-
ture license plates, work on the
prison farm or in the culinary de-

Barnard said he will use the Sin
clair case to settle for once and
for all times the question of whether
he has authority to move contempt
prisoners from the District Jail.
The United States marsha's of

tions to take Sinclair into custody

The Supreme Court will sends its
mandate to the District Court of
