g PORTS CHATS :
With Hal EuStdce

Forget all previous scores, believe
nothing you hear, don't even VEN
ture a hesitating guesS-that's the
only way to keep from going wrong
on a TexaS-Aggie scrap. Only a
rabid Farmer fan. motivated by
team loyalty. would have picked the
AgrlculturistS to win over the Long
horns before game time T~hanksgiv-
ing. But win they did, soundly
outplaying the Texans at critical
moments. Not satisfied with hui
initiating state by a two touchdown
margin, they we're on the verge OF
scoring at least three other times.
There's something to this thing
called team loyalty: something more
than a couple Of rah, rahs. a from
bone blare and the ruffle Of a drum.
IL can be measured in touchd0wns.
The c~oncenSus was that Texas
would win by around two touch
downs. The Longhorns held the
edge on a basis OF comparative
scores. All Of which looked very
well and good. But an underdog
Aggie eleven inaugurating a new
stadium did not heed this "advan-
tage" at all. Those boys took the
field with a lump In their threats
and a wee bit of moisture on their
eye-lashes. They broke Beatty's leg
on the first play. This was not the
first time that an underdog Aggie
aggregation has corne through, and
il won't be the last.
Another good example OF a team
fighting with a few extra pounds
Of loyalty in every drive was fur
nished by Main avenue in its en-
counter with Brownsville. Keyed
up 10 the nth degree, and battling
miles over their heads. the Buffa-
loes held the Eagles TO a 21-0 score.
That's the smallest margin the
Brownsville eleven has won by in
two years. This thing called 10y
atty gets rather soppy and Eooey
at times, but then it has its mo-
ments. When the boys really get
the old Alma Mater urge. they're
well nigh irresistible.
Evidently the McAllen Bulldogs
had a touch Of the same fervor
Thanksgiving. for they romped on
the San Benito Greyhounds 1915.
This gives the McHi aggregation a
boost to the $3.50 mark for the sea-
son. having won four and lost two.
The Greyhounds' season record
sldmped TO .625 as the result of
their defeat. Comparative scores
would have led one to believe that
these two clubs were pretty well
matched. However, the Bulldogs
flashed again the power they dem
onstrated early in the year and
crashed through.
The Kingsville teachers followed
the dope pretty closely in defeating
the Edinburg Junior college Broncs

From the general palaver one
hears. Brownsville. Denton, Waco

Breckenridge would have indeed

New Plays For Their

DALLAS, Tex, Nov. 29=F-Af-
ter q satisfying Turkey Day menu
followers OF Southwestern confer
ence football looked forward today
70 the seasons title bout at Fort
Worth Saturday where the S. NJ. u.
Mustangs will do their best to
knock the II. g. u. Horned Frogs
from the championship seat.
The Fort Worth Christians have
q perfect record while only a tie
mars the Methodists' season. Al
though the Methodists are a notch
lower In conference standings, the
odds, at this distance, appear fair
~ even and n mans guess is as
good as another's on the outcome.
Coach Ray Morrison Is concen-
trattng on an overhead game in his
open practices. A suspicion OF guile
creeps in when 1t is remembered
Morrison Is notably tricky. and at
least one practice was closed to all
spectators. including the Mustangs
publicity man.
Getting Set
Morrison also appeared to be
pinning a few hopes on the edu-
Gated toe Of young Bruce kaufman,
who spent Thursday kicking Tunts
from one end OF the field to the
other, thoroughly and consistently.
Over at Fort Worth, meanwhile, Cy
Leland had a very slim drumstick
to nourish his under-10-second legs,
upon which the hopes OF the Frogs
are partially pinned.
Rice and Baylor scrap for q con-
ISOLATION prize Saturday, and despite
the depth to which they h>-e sunk
in the conference cellar, the game
may be one OF the scrappiest of
the season. Baylor will attempt to
climb q notch higher on the con-
ference ladder, while Rice, its back
against the wall, will desperately
strive to mar an otherwise perfect
record OF no wins, no ties during
the season.
Three teams played in Thanks
giving games without disturbing the
conference equilibrium ~noticeably.
The Texas Aggies and the Arkansas
RAzorbacks added a little to their
percentages and materially TO their
prestige by whipping the Univer-
sfty of Texas Steers and the Okla
homa Aggies, respectively.
Big Upset
The Aggies' 1870 victory upset
predictions by at least five touch
downs. It had been predicted Tex
as would win by three touchdowns.
The Arkansas team. playing a mons
conference foe in a game counted
IN conference standings, was ex-
pected TO win. but not by the 80
to 6 score. Their victories stepped
the Texas Aggies up TO fifth and
the Porkers 10 third In the con-
ference race.

This will be the first centralized effort the Government
to reclaim narcotic victims who have fallen into the clutches
of the law many Of them do.
These farms when in operation will greatly aid in relieving
the dangerous congestion in Federal prisons notably those
at Atlanta and Leavenworth Narcotic addcts in these
prisons do not the special treatment in the awful

When the sites finally selected Congress will make

President Hoover has determined urge Congress to

WiOes, Get Busy!
By Elsie Robinson

MRS. LILIBELLE WILSON
AVA can't understand why men
are such brutes.
Eight years ago she married
Ernest Wilson. It was one Of
those old-fashioned, romantic mar
riages-apple blossoms. clouds Of
tulle, fluttering bridesmaids
everything. LiIibelle Jones made
a lovely bride, dimpled. soft and
pink, and oh, so adoring! So she
and her Ernest began life together
and everyone said that there was
one marriage that was really
made in heaven.
That was eight years ago and
now Lilibelle and Ernest are di-
vorced and Lilibelle is having a
terrible time getting any alimony
at All. And she spends her time
asking her friends what she ever
did to make Ernest treat her so
outrageously.
She was perfectly wonderful
wife, If she does say it herself.
She never looked at another man.
She was just crazy about Ernest.
Yes, maybe she did have a few
little teeny weeny bitty. faults.
Maybe she wasn't very tidy about
the house. Maybe she did some
times lie III bed late of mornings.
Maybe meals were irregular.
Maybe she did get into debt. But
what of it? That was her nature,
and if she loved Ernest what did
little things like that matter?
Lots of wives did those things.
Her own mother had done them
to dad. Her mother had been a
little lazy and naggy, too, and
gotten dad into debt. Sometimes
the neighbors had wondered how
Old Man Jones could stand it.
But dad would just humble that
you couldn't expect too much OF
a woman"
Lilibelle, remembering all these
The Washington times., 1929-08-09

things, can't understand how
Ernest could have been such a
brute. Even If she did have a
few little faults they certainly
weren't any worse than mas and
it would never have entered pas
mind to divorce ma on account
of little things like that.
Lilibelle won't face the fact
that things hSve changed a lot
since Mas day. Pa said you
mustn't expect too much from a
woman. because he honestly be-
lieved that women weren't able
to put on any better perform
ance than Ma. And there wasn't
anything a man could do about
it.
BUT, WITHIN THE LAST
TWENTY YEARS. THE WORLD
HAS DISCOVERED THAT PA
WAS WRONG.
women themselves have
proven that they CAN put on a
better performance than Ma.
They've proven that they can
be as sensible. reliable, and ef-
ficient as any man - AND

AND IN SCORES OF OTHER
FFICES. ERNES SEES

THAT FACT.
Lilibelle thinks that Ernest is

stenographer." He isn't. But he
is in love with neatness, order.

sense. He finds these things in
offices-he doesn't find them in
the home-and he wants them.
IF the business woman can
act like a regular guy, why can't
the wife?" is Ernest's very
natural query.

modern wives would do well to

Charming the Game
DROF. EINSTEIN may be a
L master-mathematician; but, even
he could not tell you how many
years a bright girl can add to 20,
and still go on being "just IS"
When a girl closes her eyes and
s;Shs, it is not a sign that she is
unhappy, but merely that she Is
trying to warm over the memory
of some mans kiss.
You can usually discover whether
a man is "your kind" or not, by
his reaction to a beautiful sunset
whether it inspires him to poe
try, makes him talk real estate, or
only reminds him that it's almost
dinner time.
To a man, the most interesting
woman in the world, is the one
who falls in love with him, every
now and then-not the one who
remains in love with him all the
time.
The woman, who charms a man
with her cooking, is not the one
who serves him a fancy seven
course diner, but the one who can
broil q steak so temptingly, that
he forgets that there is such a
thing in the world as pate de fois

pear.
When a girl gives her heart to
a man, these days, ne is rather

the street cleaning department
will soon be lolling back and snil-
ing in it's sleeve, while the women
sweep up Main Street, and the re-

1t is a mans duty to society to

PROBLEM OF
PARENTS
..nr. IOnis .. Risch.

t-~.DIs LOUIS Cs DASCAk"~-
A Ii parents have a school prob
IA blem. Each thinking father
and mother wonders whether his
children are attending the best
school possible.
And this problem of choosing
the right school is not an easy one
to solve by any manner Of means.
There are so many Of them to
select from! They all offer such
allurements.
Take your child to most any
private school and you are made
to feel that you have chosen
wisely. You will be told that the
curriculum was planned only
after the most careful study.
You win be led to believe that
individual attention is the keynote
of the instruction given. You will
even get the notion that the school
was specially created to take care
of your child.
I don't wish to be f1ippant In
this respect nor to exaggerate be-
cause not all schools make claims
they cannot live up to.
In fact, most of them are en-
tirely honest and sincere and
%baH1 %,yxY hest
The difficulties that arise after
the child is entered are not, more
than likely, the fault of the school
nor, again, the fault Of the child.
The difficulties arise because,
somehow, the child and the school
don't fit.
What / mean is this: A child
is an individual, and no two
children are alike.
Children differ as to inherent
native intelligence, in their po'
tentials for development, in their
rate of advance, in their learn
ing ability and in many other
more subtle ways.
No two children, aged TO- Tor
example, think alike, act alike
or ISS4 al1ke.
But the average school treats
them as though they were alikel
Whether it be private or public
instruction, expediency and lack
of time and equipment demand
that all children of certain age
/ be forced into a certain prescribed
course of study.
The inevitable result, naturally,
are scores of misfits everywhere
In all fairness to a child every
parent should note whether the
school in question is taking such
individual difference into consid'
Grafton. No child should be
treated in a wholesale fashion.
Up.to.date schools attempt to
make up the deficiencies and
inequalities of group teaching by
promoting pupils according to sub
jects instead Of grades, by extra
private tutoring, etc.
Still, such practices are not as
universal as they should be anC
in the meanwhile, unless you
choose the school wisely, your
child may be made to suffer.
Don't take anyone's word about
any school but investigate the
school yourself.

ton is practising modern. ped
