georgia! Vanderbilt!

The Green Wave opens the Southern Conference season next Saturday with the feature clash of the early season in the South, meeting Georgia's Bulldogs here. This game will remove one of the twO strongest championship contenders in all probability from the picture on the first day out.

Georgia is bringing a set of sophomoric beauties along with many of the 1931 team, in the hope of taking the Wave. The Bulldogs have hopes of springing another surprise the equal of 1929 when their flaming sophs upset Yale the week after a mediocre start.

It will be remembered that the Bulldog sophs of '29 were the toughest of the past three seasons, Tulane barely winning, 21 to 15.

A week past Georgia, two weeks from today, Tulane must meet another super-threat in the Vanderbilt Commodor~s.

Coach Dan McGugin has the only thing he considered missing a year ago. He has the punter. The experts have rated Vandy in the top foursome of the Conference for the season.

From all indications, both games will attract capacity crowds.

Lloyd Gregory, interesting writer of the Houston Post and veteran observer of Southwestern Conference football, declared recently after looking at the Aggies in practice that Mattie Bell's 1932 team would be the best since 1927.

**** Gregory quoted Bell as saying that next year's Aggie eleven would be the strongest that he has coached in 12 years . Most of the present team will return in 1933 .

**** Charlie Malone, 6 feet 3 and 205 pounds, rated as one of the best ends in the country at the end of last season, will make a strong bid for all-American honors if a leg injury does not slow him up.

Last year, against Tulane, Malone made a spectacular catch of a pass to put the Greenies with their backs against the wall. A pass, intended for McFadden, was apparently batted down by Papa Felts but in some way or other the ball caromed into the air and Malone swooped down on it and was on his way. He was stopped on the Green's 7-yard line.

**** Frenchy Domingue made the longest run from scrimmage against Tulane last year, skirting the Wave's left end for 45 yards. Dalrymple and Lodrigues. knocked him out of bounds. Incidentally a picture 'of,thisft play was used in the Saturday Evening Post of a recent date, illustrating Dalrymple's interesting article on end play.

****

The backbone of the Georgia offense this year will be the two young halfbacks who combined to give the Bulldogs their only touchdown over Tulane last year-Homer Key and Buster Mott.

Key tossed a pass to Mott right down the middle of the Greenie defense and the latter took it on the run and was away.

**** Key, one of the smallest and most elusive men in the Southern Conference, weight 140, and though perhaps not a sixty minute man can be counted on to prove annoying to the Wave defense.

**** Georgia will have one of the biggest quarterbacks in the conference-perhaps the largest-in Sullivan.

"Sully" weighs close to 190.

**** Harry. .Mehre ..is.., ,experimenting ¡with - GF3!Wirn Batchelor, center and track weight star, at one of the terminals in his efforts to replace Catfish Smith.

*** *

Not much is known of him, but rumors from Georgia are to the effect that Cy Grant, a sophomore, will make Mott and Key step for regular halfback berths.

"Who are you?" he inquired.

"Why, I am the new superintendent," was the smiling reply.

"What are you going to do with it?"

"Put it on my strawberries," retorted the farmer.

The inmate countered quickly: "You ought to live here. We get cream on ours. "

The Antiquity of Football

By PARKE H. Di,VIS pastum¡ '. It would seem that human nature was not different in 28 B. C. from what it is coday for one of the first acts of Augustus Caesar on coming inco power was to demand a revision of the football rules. But Caesar wanted the game made tougher for he intended to use it as a military pastime. A philosopher was selected to make the revi sion. This unknown philosopher, the original member of the Rules Committee, discharged his work well and the game raged at Rome for many years. When the Roman legions invaded Britain they cook among their impediments footballs.The Britons quickly adopted the spOrt and in that rij;ht little isle, football has been continuously played for 1,900 years. Until today it is as English as mutton chops or marmalade.

The football game which you will enjoy in the Tulane stadium today, represents the oldest organized game in the world- FOOTBALL. This game was played in Greece, 2,500 years ago. The central feature of that old game was the forward pass, hence, the Greeks called their game "Harpaston", meaning the hurling forward. This old Greek word is still preserved in the English word "harpoon".

The Greeks played their game upon a rectangular field marked by side lines, goal line and a center line. The ball was kicked, carried and passed.

I am not so enthusiastic as to claim that the Prophet Isaiah invented "forward spinners" but I cannot lightly pass over the significance of the verse in the 22nd Chapter of his Book in the Old Testament in which he says: "He will turn and toSS thee like a ball." Antiquaries have built far more upon far less. Then, there is another passage in the Fiftieth Book of the Odyssey of Homer: "Then having bathed and annointed well with oil they took their mid-day meal upon the river's bank and then, anon, they played a game of ball." Isaiah and Homer ante-dated 750 B. C. When the Romans came in contact with the Greeks and I seized their admirable and novel institutions they also adopted this game, slightly latinized the name into "Har-

But what was the ball? Ah, now, you are going to learn why a football is oval in shape and why it is called a pigskin, although it has been made of grain leather for 2 centuries. Which of us who was born upon a farm has nOt eagerly awaited the arrival of "butchering day" in the Fall to get the pig's bladder, to inflate it with a quill and to kick it about on the close cropped fields in the crisp Occober air? Well, an English poet, Alexander Barclay, in his Eulogies, four hundred years ago celebrated this cus¡ com of country childhood. Therefore, we will let tuneful A lexander tell you the story in verse:

And now in winter when men kill the fat swine, They get the bladder and blow it great and tkine, With many beane and peasen put therein, It rattleth, sOlmdeth slimeth lere and fayre; While it is thrown and cast up in the ayre; Each one contendeth and hath a great delight, With foote and with hande the bladder for to smyte; If it fall down they lift it up again, And this way to labour they count it no payne.

SPIRIT OF AGGIELAND II.

1.

Alma Mater- so far as I roam My whole heart shall be with you where, I'll always be proud to call you my own, For it's Aggieland so fair.

Some may boast of their prowess bold, 'Of the school that they think so grand, But there is a spirit that can nevet be old, [t's the spirit of Aggieland.

CHORUS :

Weare the Aggies-the Aggies are we, True to each other as Aggie's can be.

We've got to FIGHT, boys, We've gOt to FIGHT I We've gOt to fight for Maroon and White.

After they've boosted all the rest, They will all come and join the best.

For we are the Aggies-the Aggies are we, We are from Texas A. M . C.
