 An automatic electric teakettle will be welcome in many homes. Its outstanding feature is that the connection plug is automatically ejected whenever the water boils too low for safety. The plug can- not be put back until the heating unit has cooled to a safe tempera- ture.

O'Neers return follows an alb

Well. its not true; don't let

IL is. Forget the roundups and
the ranches. and like little
dogie get along 10 the record.
The biggest men In Texas. the
most he-mannish men. play foot

Arkansas, Baylor. the Texas
Aggies, Rice. and Texas Yet,
since the Southwest conference
was organized in 1914. no school
has been able TO gather together
enough men TO win two cham
pionships in a row.
1t is easy TO win once. but the
business Of repeating is too
much even for the double
breasted double-chested men of
the Lone Star state.
That Is why In Dallas today
the Southern Methodist Mus
tangs are being given a very
sound chance of beating the
Texas Aggies tomorrow.
The Aggies are national cham
pions. They have won II straight
games against all opposition.
They have won nine straight
conference victories. They are
spanked by a man who is con-
sidered TO be one of the finest
If not the finest-football play
ers In the country; namely, John
Kimbrough.
SMU is just another squad in
the national football picture.
True, the Mustangs have not
been beaten, but they were tied
by Pittsburgh, which everyone
admitted was mediocre ball
club.
The country may have thrown
over the third-term precedent
but in Texas the second-term
precedent still is strong.
Down here they just can't be-
lieve that the Aggies viii do
something that never has been
done before. Perhaps / should
explain that the Aggies will not
automatically win the South
west conference championship IL
they are victorious tomorrow
They still will have Texas and
Rice to hurdle, but those who
have seen Rice and Texas play
say that a onelegged man car
rying the Queen Mary's anchor
could clear them with fathoms
to spare.
SMU has no line, and 1t does
not have a man on it that you'll
ever see on this years all
America.
So, you see, the Aggies should
be a definite favorite. But TODAY
in Dallas you only have to turn
around to find SMU money.
Real money. too,
But say to hell with prece-

you the Aggies by two-not
