Tbe Green Wave opens the Southern Conference
season next Saturday with the feature clash of rbe
early season in the South, meeting Georgia's Bulldogs
here. This game will remove one of the two
strongest championship concenders in all probability
from the picrure on d1e fuse day out.
Georgia is bringing a set of sophomoric beauties
along wim many of the 1931 team, in the hope of
taking the Wave. The Bulldogs have hopes of
springing another surprise me equal of 1929 when
meir flaming sophs upser Yale the week after a
mediocre start.
lr will be remembered d1at the Bulldog sophs of
'29 were the roughest of me past three seasons, Tulane
barely winning, 21 to 15.
A week past Georgia, rwo weeks from today, Tulane
must meet another super-threat in the Vanderbilr
Commodores.
Coad1 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
rhe Conference for the season.
From all indications, borh games will amacr capacity
crowds.
Lloyd Gregory, imeresring writer of d1e Houston
Pose and veteran observer of Soud1wesrern Conference
football, declared recently after looking at me
Aggies in practice mat Martie Bell's 1932 ream
would be the best since 1927.
* * * *
Gregory quoted Bell as saying mar next year's
Aggie eleven would be me srrongesr that he has
coad1ed in 12 years. Most of the present ream will
return in 1933.
* * * *
Charlie Malone, 6 feet 3 and 205 pounds, rated
as one of rhe best ends in the country at rhe end
of lase season, will make a strong bid for all-American
honors if a leg injury does not slow him up.
Vande rbilt!
Lase year, against Tulane, Malone made a spectacular
catch of a pass co pur the Greenies wich cheir
backs against the wall. A pass, incended for McFadden,
was apparently barred down by Papa Felcs
but in some way or ocher the ball caromed inco the
air and Malone swooped down on ic and was on his
way. He was scopped on me Green's 7-yard line.
* * * *
Frend1y Domingue made me longest run from
scrunmage against Tulane lase year, skirring me
Wave's lefc end for 45 yards. Dalrymple and Lodrigues
knocked him out of bounds. Incidentally
a picture of this play was used in me Saturday Evening
Post of a recent date, illusrracing Dalrymple's
interesting article on end play.
* * * *
The backbone of me Georgia ofense mis year
will be the two young halfbacks who combined to
give me Bulldogs meir only touchdown over Tulane
last year-Homer Key and Buster Mote.
Key tossed a pass to Mott right down the middle
of rhe Greenie defense and the latter rook it on the
run and was away.
* * * *
Key, one of cbe smallest and most elusive men
in che Southern Conference, weight 140, and mough
perhaps nor a sixty minute man can be counted on
co prove annoying co rhe Wave defense.
* * * *
Georgia will have one of d1e biggest quarterbacks
in the conference-perhaps the largest-in Sullivan.
"Sully" weighs close to 190.
* * * *
Harry. Mehre is experimenting wirh Gnrlram
Batchelor, cenrer and crack weight scar, ar one of the
terminals in his efforts co replace Cacfisb Smith.
* * * *
Nor much is known of him, bur rumors from
Georgia are co d1e effect char Cy Gram, a sophomore,
will make Mort and Key step for regular halfback
berths.

The Antiquity of Football
By PARKE H. DAVIS
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, rbe Greeks called their game "Harpaston",
meaning the hurling forward. This old Greek
word is srill preserved in the English word "harpoon".
The Greeks played their game upon a rectangular field
marked by side lines, goal line and a cenrer line. The ball
was kicked, carried and passed.
J am nor so emhusiasric as ro claim that che Prophet
isaiah invented "forward spinners" bur I cannot ligbrly
pass over the significance of the verse in rhe 22nd Chapter
of his Book in the Old Tesramenr in which he says: "He
will turn and ross thee like a ball." Antiquaries have built
far more upon far less. Then, there is another passage in
the Fiftieth Book of rhe Odyssey of Homer: "Then having
bathed and annoinred well with oil rhey wok their
mid-day meal upon the river's bank and chen, anon, they
played a game of ball." Isaiah and Homer ame-daced
750 B. C.
When the Romans came in contact with the Greeks and
seized their admirable and novel institutions they also
adopced chis game, slighdy larinized the name inro "Har-pastum".
[r would seem that human nature was nor different
in 28 B. C. from what ir is roday for one of the
first aces of Augustus Caesar on coming inco power was ro
demand a revision of the football rules. Bur Caesar wanted
rhe game made rougher for he intended co use it as a military
pastime. A philosopher was selected ro make rhe revision.
This unknown philosopher, the original member of the
Rules Committee, discharged his work well and the game
raged ar Rome for many years. When the Roman legions
invaded Britain they rook among rbeir impediments foot·
balls. The Britons quickly adopted the spore and in char
rihr lirde isle, football bas been continuously played for
1,900 years. Unril today ir is as English as mutton chops
or marmalade.
Bur whar 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 foe
2 cenruries. Which of us who was bom upon a farm has
nor eagerly awaiced the arrival of ''butchering day" in the
Fall co get rhe pig's bladder, to in1iace ic wich a quill and
co kick ir abouc on the dose cropped fields in the crisp
Occober air? Well, an English poet, Alexander Barclay,
in his Eulogies, four hundred years ago celebrated this cuscom
of country childhood. Therefore, we will ler tuneful
Alexander cell you the scory in verse:
And now in winter when men kill the fat JL·ine,
Tbey get the bladder and blow it great and tkine,
lPith many beane and peasm p11t therein,
I.
It rattleth, soundeth slimeth lere and fayre;
While it is thrown and cast up in the ayre;
Each one contendeth and hath a great delight,
11'/ith foote and with han de the bladder for lo Imyte;
If it fall down they lift it 11p again.
And thii way to labour they co11nt il no payne.

They will all come and join the best.
For we are the Aggies-che Aggies :ue we,
We are from Texas A. M. C.

NEVER PARCHED
NEVER TOASTED
AMELS are always FRESH!
SWITCH to Camels and learn the mildness of a fresh,
cool-burning cigarette. A blend of choice Turkish
and mellow, sun-ripened Domestic tobaccos, Camels are
never parched or toasted. That's why we say smoke them
for one day, then leave them-if you can.
