Cotton Bowl Tilt

Reluctant to Take

DALLAS, Nov. 8.-Football fever,
several degrees above normal be-
cause of Saturdays clash between
undefeated Texas A. and M. and
Southern Methodist, brought the
first announcement concerning the
rather jumbled Cotton Bowl post.

said his Office would open Thursday.

Conference Chairman Silent.
Dan D. Rogers, chairman Of
board representing the seven South
west Conference schools, declined to
comment.
The conference split with Sanford
on the eve of the 1923 game-vhich
finally wound up with Texas Tech
playing st. Mary's Gaels and no
Southwest Conference club repre-
sented.
Rogers, Dallas banker ard member
of the Texas Christian University
Board of Regents, said his group
had no definite plans this early in
November"
Sanford, meanwhile, held out the
olive branch to the conference.
Purely unofficial but Well-founded
reports said the Texas Aggie5. if
they come through a rather rough
row of Southern Methodist, Rice
and Texas, would be reluctant to
appear at Sanford's New Years
Day party in the Cotton Bowl. No
specific reasons were given.
Rival Game Is Hinted.
Speculation centered on what the
Rogers group is plotting. Dallas
has a new high school stadium
that seats around $4,000.
Perhaps rival game will be
held-maybe on the same day.

the full Southwest Conference to

The Political Mill
Senator Vondenbere's one-Term Proposal
Leaves His Own Hot in the Ring

reason for denying him a second
term provided the Republicans were
to continue still longer in power.
Democratic Senators who are op-
posed to the New Deal and are vio-
lently opposed to the denomination
of President Roosevelt took a diff
ferent view. They were inclined to
applaud the Vandenberg proposal,
both as it related to a single term
in the White House and as it de-
clared for an administration for all
Americans"
The single term proposal no doubt
was intended to have a favorable
effect on Democrats before, during
and after the election next year. It's
purpose is to WOO away from the
President or any other New Deal
candidate Democratic votes, and If
the Republican candidate Is elected
President to pave the way for har-
monious action by the new President
and the Senate, which doubtless will
remain in Democratic control. OF
the 80 Senators who come up for re-
election in 1910, "a are Democrats,
6 are Republicans, l Farmer Labor
and l Independent The Repub-
licans, by carrying every senatorial
election next year would have 49
Senate seats, a bare majority, since
they have % now. Such a feat,
however, is regarded as an impossi-
oility. In the first place, more than
a dozen of the Democratic Senators
who come up for reelection hail
from the "solid South" where the
chances of electing Republican Sen
ators are less than nothing.
Third-Te Issue Grows.
The third-term issue grows as the
days pass, and more and more New
Deal Democrats insist upon the
President running again. Senator
Rush d. Holt, Democrat. of West
Virginia. bitter foe of the New Deal
ers, said yesterday he was merely
biding his time before introducing
and asking action on his resolution
declaring it the sense of the Senate
that a President should not be elect
ed for third term He insists that
eventually the Senate will have to
pass on this resolution, which is
similar to one adopted by the Senate
in 1926, offered by Senator La Fol-
lette when President Calvin Coolidge
was in Office. 1t is also similar to a
resolution put through in 1875 when
there was move on foot to give
President Grant third term.
Senator Hollis delay in pressing
the resolution. he said, has been due
to the fact that he wished to make
sure definite move to renominate
President Roosevelt was under way.
The interest in Senator Vanden-
berg's single-term proposal over
shadoWed for a moment the interest
in his own candidacv-which be-
comes apparent from his statement.
However, now that his hat is re-
garded as being in the ring, the
drive for Vandenberg delegates to
the G.. o. P. National Convention
will go forward vigorously. There
are many Republicans who believe
he will be the party nominee in 1940
