J.

Ettlinger, director of athletics, and made nublic after a prolonged faculty meeting. The students were paid uniformly at 50 cents an hour for clerical work, for directing physical training classes for freshmen, for work on intramural athletics, and for work In the locker rooms and In keeping athletic fields in order. Even janitor service at the gymnasium was done by student athletes. Law Attacks Program This was in part Dt. Ettlinger'a answer to a motion put at the faculty meeting by Dr.

R. A. Law, formerly chairman of the university athletic council, seeking to "disprove employment of students com. peting In intercollegiate athletics for Instruction in physical training." Dr. D.

E. Brake, now ath. letic council chairman, joined Dr. Ettlinger in signing the statement. Sixty-eight names appear on the list, some of them twice.

The largest single Item was to George Harris, for 110 hours' work In the intercollegiate athletic office, $55, and the smallest to Frank Denson, for one hour of field work, 50 cents. The average payment for October was $11, Dr. Ettlinger said. "This is an attack on me personally," Dr. Ettlinger said of the motion.

"Why make a fuss over paying an athlete an average of $11 a month for honest work." The faculty debated the Issue more than two hours and then recessed until next Thursday without taking a vote. Catalog Rule Questioned The Ettlinger-Brace report stated that the report was being presented, together with October payroll of the athletic department, since Dr. Law had raised the question as to whether Rule 4 of the university catalogue of 1929 Is not being violated in compensating assistants in physical training. Rule 4 provides that "no student shall be allowed to compete In In. tercolleglate athletics if he receives compensation for regular instruction.

This rule shall not apply, i iiG ever, to uuu ci" "lid iir.t otuucnt assistants, other than athletic assistants, approved by the board of i regents who are doing regular undergraduate work and who are. receiving annual compensation of not more than $500 lor their serv-: ices." I A lengthy discussion as to the I interpretation of the university rule ensued. Some of the laculty contended that physk-ai education is not the same as athletics and therefore the ruling did not apply to the physical training- assistants. Conference Rule Dr. Ettlinger and Dr.

Brace, In replying to Dr. Law, quoted the Southwest conference rule uniting students to receive money to conduct physical classes in sports other than those in which they participate. Dr, Law, It was stated, contended that paying physical training assistants is an infraction of the university rule and if not, then it ought to be made an Infraction.

m. Efforts to delay the return of the two special trains later than 6:30 D. m. and 6:40 p. m.

If old man Just keeps on being nice to Austin after so many days of gloom it seems that there won't be too many slips and bogs this week to mar the classic. Then, too, the game is going to be a battle, probably the hardest that the Longhorns will engage In this season.

Both teams are kind of like a horse race in a movie, they're running by a nose with the Steer snorting a couple of Inches behind the hopping Toad as they both straighten out for the home stretch In the conference race. When the timekeeper calls it a day Saturday afternoon one or the other will be out of the running and the one that's left will be favorite to wear the Southwest gridiron crown for 1929. Longhornt' Goal Uncrossed The eyes of the conference will be focused on the game. In four conference games the Longhorns have not been scored upon, In two of them they emerged with scoreless ties and in the other two they were winners by wide margins. And according to what the scribes up in Fort Worth say the Frogs haven't strutted their stuff yet even though they did open up quite a bit In the third quarter of their victory over when they scored two touchdowns In 10 minutes.

The Steers are backed up against the wail and they'll be ready to put all they have into the fray. The Frogs are particularly desirous of a victory. They've battled hard to beat the Longhorns for many years and to date the best that they've squeezed out of It has been a scoreless tie. It looks like the last Austin game is going to be the biggest and best game with two special trains of T.C.U. students and Fort Worth people coming In for the game and with all the Texas student body, Austin supporters and out-of-town Longhorn enthusiasts getting ready to close up the stadium lor this Keep Sake By the Associated Presa NEW YORK, Nov.
