The term "hostess" always sug-
gests the hospitality of the home,
be it large or small. A hostess in
a small institution is often en-
numbered with the financial and
domestic science training would
prove most valuable.
Should her field be large enough
to warrant heads of these depart
ments, she may be considered as
responsible for only the social
problems O fthe home.
The term Social" is being used
in it's broadcast sense, including

DALLAS - For the second year
in row Southern Methodist Uni

publicized sophomore football play

Coach Matty Bell hopes it turns
out as well as last season. Then
DOak Walker led the Methodists to
the championship and an unbeaten
campaign climaxed by appearance
in the Cotton Bowl, and made the

The sophomore who has the
sports writer's doing hand-springs
is Kyle Rote, a husky young man
from San Antonio who went to
Vanderbilt but longed too much
for his native Texas.
Rote, they say, is going to out

everything, just like Walker; he's
bigger than Walker. Such talk fig
uratiVely scares the shirt off Bells
! back
"You guys must give Rote q
chance" he says. wait until he
proves himself He hasn't played a
college football game, you know.
He's a fine prospect, sure, but he
hasn't gone up against football
teams like Texas, Texas Christian
and Arkansas. l know he looked
good in spring training; 1 know he
was a great high school player.
But the hardest test he's had was
against some eXes in spring
training game. They were out of
shape and his showing against
them was pretty meaningless. Sop
homores don't often make the
grade in this conference You don't
find many DOak Walkers"
Be that as it may, they're calling
Bells backfield at Southern Meth
odist the best in the conference
with the veterans Walker, Dick
McKissack, Paul Page and Gi

something.
