COTTON PICKING TIME

Smith is away”, despite his des
perate pleas for cotton pickers.
On the whole, however, the stu
dent body has responded quite
well to the call for farm workers
on the college farm.

A big question in boxing circles is whether or not Champion Joe Louis
is going to retire. Joe and his managers can’t agree on what the Brown
Bomber said in an interview with sport writers recently. Joe, it seems, said
he was getting too old and was ready to retire, but his managers say he will
be in his prime after thirty, No doubt Joe will probably defend his title for
quite a while yet.
Down at Riqe University the football team took quite a shock when six
of its members joined the Marines. Another two who were in the officers’
reserve aSked to be put on enlisted status so as to be with their mates. If
the boys are called into immediate service Rice will be out of running in the
Southwest Conference.
This week-end a Duke team that has been defeated and humiliated
for the past two week-ends will meet a strong Colgate team. The Colgate
eleven is rated as the best in fifteen years and it will be out for blood. Duke
will be fighting to save face and reputation and will present a game that will
be well worth watching.
When Northwestern played Kansas State a sophomore, Alex Kopter.
gained a permanent berth as guard in a new way. Misunderstanding the
coach when he said, “Start warming up, Alex," he rushed into the game. On
the first play he broke through the line and threw the Kansas back for a ten
yard loss.
The game of the week brings together two teams that have usually
just been in the schedule. This year they are claiming some of the lime
light for themselves. Wake Forest meets N. C. State at Raleigh in what
should prove to be a real contest in any man’s conference. Wake Forest
Imade football history when it defeated and humiliated Duke 20 to 7, and
State upset the Clemson powerhouse 7 to 6. Fighting on the momentum
gained from these victories the two teams will furnish thrills aplenty. Wake
Forest is picked to have the edge, but anything can happen in this battle.
Keep your eyes on the victor of this match for it may go on to greater things.
Just in case some one doesn’t know it, the St. Louis Cards defeated
the New York Yankees in the World Series 4 to 1.
Kappa Psi

North, 12-2
Alpha Pi Annexes
Win
r —-
Thursday, October 8, Alpha Pi won
its second victory in intramural foot
ball by defeating North North, 24-7.
Alphi Pi had won its first game over
East Hawks and North North had
Ijeen defeated by Kappa Psi.
At the beginning it seemed that it
would be an evenly matched game,
but Alpha Pi led by triple threat Vic
Zodda and pass-snagging Sylvan
Kputh soon proved the better. With
a strong line, fast ends, and a high
stepping backfield Alpha Pi had an
offensive that North North was un
able to quell.
North North, sparked by Huntley,
Latta, and Frazier, put up a great
fight and showed offensive drive of
ten but were able to score but
once. Triple threat man Latta was
the star of the defeated North North
with his ouUUnding passing, running
.and kicking.
Eagles Overwhelm
South North Lads
On Wednesday, October 7, the help
less South North football team fell
before the mighty onslaught of the
East Eagles, 38 to 6. The Eagles,
smooth in their running and passing
attack, won their second victory in
a week.
Although South North had a slash
ing line led by Lacy Hagood they
were unable to stop the fast stepping
backfield of the Eagles. The Eagles
played a game that featured team
work which clicked offensively and
defensively.
South North had a great line on de
fense but were unable to set up an
organized offense. They showed real
offensive power only once when they
scored their only touchdown.
The first half belonged to neither
team as each held the other in check,
but the lasting power of the Eagles
laid claim to the last half. With su
perb kicking, passing, and running
the game soon became the Eagles’
property. South North put up a gal
lant defense but were no match for
the inspired Eagles.
Friday afternoon, October 2 Kappa
Psi opened its football season by de
feating a strong North North team
12 to 2. The first half was played on
even terms with both teams penetrat
ing deep into enemy territory fre
quently.
A pass from Lee to Mann set up.
the first touchdown early in the third
quarter. Hooper carried the ball
across on a pass from Lee. Kappa
Psi scored again in the third quarter
when Nance intercepted a pass and
raced forty yards for the touchdown.
Both tries for the extra points failed.
Led by triple threat W. C. Latta
and powerful Bud Frazier, the North
North team was able to score two
points on a blocked kick. Though
failing to score a touchdown North
North kept Kappa Psi on its toes and
showed offensive power all through
the game.
The entire Kappa Psi team played
great ball with Darden and Basnight
looking best on the line and Nance
in the backfield. Offensive power of
Kappa Psi proved the deciding point
of the game.
East Eagles
Trample U.K.
On Monday, October 5th, the un
derrated East Eagles upset and ran
over the once mighty I. T. K. team.
Two teams went to battle that day to
what most had thought was an al
ready won fight. Mighty I. T. K. had
rolled over South North and was ex
pected to crush the Eagles. It was
the Eagles’ season debut and they
were out to get a good start.
Surprises came early and fast. All
was not well with the once great I. T.
K. team, which could find no way to
stop the fast stepping Eagles. Led
by the pass-snapping Johnnie Zeiss-
ner and smooth, powerful Ike Perry,
the Eagles looked in mid-season form
as they rolled on to victory. In pass
ing, receiving, blocking, running and
kicking the Eagles looked superb and
worked like a machine.
Burns and Askin led in the gallant
but disorganized fight of I. T. K. It
was the battle of individuals against
a highly efficient unit. I. T. K. show
ed offensive power at rare intervals,
but they played mostly a defensive
game. To the tune of 25 to 0. it was
the Eagles' ball game from beginning
to end.
Rosco and Bosco Pick
Well, folks here they are again,
those masterminds of star-gazing,
who say, “Put your faith in the stars
and you will never be without lights."
Of course they do not say that lights
are always wanted, but in case of
need, a bright star is a nice thing to
have around. They advise you to
steer clear of lights that pop on at
unexpected times and catch you just
in the act of ... oh well, just in the
act. Rosco has had his most unpleas
ant moments when just as things
were going smooth a light pops on
and he was caught half-way out the
window.
The experts ran into unusual trou
ble in star-gazing this week. Finding
new and strange st^rs around, Rosco
couldn’t decide if they were the real
things or products of suffering human
animals. Finally Rosco noticed that
some of the stars swayed from place
to place and he knew they must be
fake. After long and hard study Ros-
co passed on his reading to Bosco to
be translated into the language of the
less-learned. Without human emo-
Kappa Psi Upset
On Sloppy Field
On Monday afternoon in a field of
mud Alpha Pi defeated Kappa Psi by
the sir^ll but concluisve score of 2 to
0. It was a hard fought game and
one that the ducks would have really
enjoyed. The low score was possibly
due to what was definitely not great
football weather. Alpha Pi entered
the game with two victories and
Kappa Psi with one and based on this
the teams were about evenly matched.
Early in the game Alpha Pi on a
pass from Zodda to Routh drove deep
in Kappa Psi territory. On a penal
ty Alpha Pi received the ball on the
Kappa Psi one-yard line. It looked
certain that they would score, but
Kappa Psi threw up a defense that
held for four downs. Kappa Psi took
over but an attempt to kick was
blocked and Alpha Pi scored a safety.
This was the only score and only
threat made by either team.
"The remainder of the game was
fought In balance with neither team
making decisive headway. It was a
battle ot the two teams against each
other and against the elements, with
the elements winning. With a fight
ing line led by Darden and Basnight,
Kappa Psi played a good defensive
game but could not click on the of
fense. Vic Zodda and Sylvan Routh
sparked the Alpha Pi team to its vic
tory.
